1 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 1: The following He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 2 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This He's Talking 3 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: Cowboys screening live from the Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at 4 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 1: the Star in Frisco to the livest and now your hosts, 5 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: I say a stand back Patrick Walker and Kyle Yeoman's 6 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. It wasn't exactly how they drew it up, 7 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: but either way, it is still a victory Monday. Here 8 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: from the Star in Frisco in Week fourteen of the 9 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 1: NFL season, the Dallas Cowboys come out on top up 10 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 1: over the Houston Texans twenty seven, twenty three, and will 11 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: break it down for you here over the next forty 12 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: five minutes from the Star in Frisco, presented by Black 13 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: Rifle Coffee Company, alongside Patrick Nose Walker, Isaiah stand back 14 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: Chris Beam in the backroom, Kyle Yeoman's, gentlemen, how are 15 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:21,479 Speaker 1: we doing? Everybody got their heart rate down a little bit? 16 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: Is it back down to resting rate at the moment 17 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: I was able to. It took a well last night, 18 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: but I was able to get it smoothed out. There 19 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: was a nervous energy from the middle of the first quarter, 20 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: really up until the end of the game, I mean 21 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: until the pick was made by Israel mcquamu aka Treyvon Diggs, whoever, whoever, 22 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: whoever you ask, when that pick was made. That was 23 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: finally the decompression after what was a three hour long 24 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: nerve fest all the way through, because as soon as 25 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: Kavante Turpin muffed the punt, it looked like it was 26 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: gonna get tcey and you thought the Cowboys would pull 27 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: it out. You thought they would pull away at some point. 28 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: That didn't necessarily happen, Isaiah, Nope, didn't happen. That's what 29 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: happens when you show up a thing that you just 30 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 1: handle anybody based upon records, based upon your skill sets. 31 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: I mean, this is the NFL, or this is a 32 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: professional athletes, the best in the world. There's only so 33 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,399 Speaker 1: many guys at each position, there's only so many coordinators. 34 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,399 Speaker 1: You're gonna face the best you know every week, and 35 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: you have to bring your a game no matter what, 36 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: no matter what situation you think that you're walking into. 37 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: And you know, the Texans punched Dallas in the mouth, 38 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: and unfortunately, it takes a lot to try to get 39 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: yourself out of a rut. That's why you show up 40 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: and you start fast, because if you don't, then you 41 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: give teams confidence and then they can stick around, and 42 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: then you find yourself in a situation. And luckily they 43 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: was able to find themselves out of one just because 44 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 1: of that quarterback play on the part of the Texans. 45 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: But everybody knows that Dallas should have lost that game. 46 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: They should have lost that game, that had that quarterback 47 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: not gone the wrong way, they probably would have lost, 48 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: and a couple other things and a couple but specifically 49 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 1: line stand. I don't know that the Cowboys mentally were 50 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: overlooking the Texans as much as it was just good 51 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: old fashioned mistakes, just good old fashioned mistakes, I can 52 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: I can guarantee you that you know Turpin after he 53 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: cost that fair catch, he's not thinking, oh, this is 54 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: the Texans. No, just good old fashioned mistakes. And then 55 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: what do the Texans do. They go down, they get 56 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: a touchdown off of that, and correct me if I'm wrong. 57 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: The Texans had seventeen fourteen or seventeen points off of 58 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: Cowboys turnovers. Fourteen should have been twenty one because they 59 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: had the ball outside the five yards. So you know, 60 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, we talked about it, MISQ shooting yourself in 61 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: the foot. They shot themselves in the foot. And that's 62 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: how you allow teams that you're better than to remain 63 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: in the game. And that's what we saw. And it's 64 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: something that the Cowboys are going to have to be 65 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: consistent in cleaning up because the only reason they were 66 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: able to escape. And kudos to a ninety eight yard 67 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: drive and Dak Prescott and Dalton shots and you know, 68 00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: Noah Brown and Jason Peters and we'll get to I 69 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: saw your tweet on y'ahoo news last night. Did you 70 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: which one his tweet about Jason Peters giving him as 71 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: good jacket? They they posted it on an article. 'ah 72 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: that man his gold jacket in the post game? Um? 73 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: And you know, and kudos to Joe Philbin and coach 74 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: McCarthy for making that decision. But it took that to overcome, 75 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: you know, errors that the Cowboys made. So again, I 76 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 1: don't believe it wasn't as much that they overlooked texts. 77 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: I don't believe they did. And I don't believe that 78 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: the Texans quarterbacks played poorly. They made a poor decision 79 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: ultimately that helped cost them the game. But they really 80 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: attacked that young Cowboys secondary outside of Treyvon Diggs. And 81 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: and you know, kudos to Kelvin Joseph for making up 82 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: for it with that huge PBu on that third down, 83 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: but prior to that he was getting targeted. To talk 84 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: about the thirty plus yard gainer that ended up being 85 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: a field goal, I believe for the for the Texans, 86 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 1: uh so be it him or n Sean right, whomever 87 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: the case may be. They in their two quarterbacks set, 88 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: which was weird, but they had nothing to lose. But 89 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: between Driscoll and um David's Mills, they really just attacked 90 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: underneath and those young guys you know you're gonna have 91 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: to step up. So Lovey Smith had a plan and 92 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: they were executing that plan. But it wouldn't have mattered 93 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,239 Speaker 1: if the Cowboys had played clean football. No, I agree 94 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: with you completely, and I like the way you kind 95 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: of set that up because one, and this is kind 96 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: of a sidebar, but I thought Calvin Joseph and Deron 97 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: Bland played good football. Going back and watching the tape, 98 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 1: for the most part, they were solid. They gave up 99 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: a couple of receptions. It's gonna happen from time to time, 100 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 1: and honestly, the one passed to Chris Moore on the sideline, 101 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: that was just a ball. That was a dime from 102 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: Davis Mills. They in good coverage from Calvin Joseph. That 103 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: was the sidebar. Sidebar now over. But the way you 104 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: set up the fact that offensively there were mistakes, they 105 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: made the plays when they needed to. Defensively, there were 106 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: certainly mistakes, but they made the plays when they needed to. 107 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: Dallas should not have won this game. The way that 108 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: they played for eighty percent of that ball game, eighty 109 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 1: percent of it, the Texans outplayed Dallas. You could tell 110 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 1: they wanted it just a little bit more. It looked 111 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: like a young college team looking to prove something. And 112 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: not to compare the Texans to a college team, because 113 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: they are a professional organization. However, it just felt like 114 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: that type of energy. It was pent up aggression, trying 115 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: to get the job done. But Dallas, when they needed 116 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: to answer, was there when it mattered most, and that's 117 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: what ultimately ended up being the deciding fact. They still tall, 118 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: particularly the defense who time and again gave the Cowboys 119 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 1: opportunities as far as the offensive side of the ball 120 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: to get new possessions and go downfield and score. And 121 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: unfortunately later in the game, it wasn't until that ninety 122 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: eight yard drive that won the game that it happened. 123 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 1: I have in the fourth quarter, third and seven pass 124 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: breakup by Kelvin Joseph, the Galimore pass breakup on third 125 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 1: thirty four right, the fourth down stopped by Galimore and 126 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: Bard that came after that tank shut down on Rex Birkhead, 127 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: and that those two plays alone saved the game. And 128 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: finally the Cowboys offense once they put Peters in to 129 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: protect on the right side other than you know, outside 130 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: of Josh Ball, that's when they were able to make 131 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: that drive. But kudos to the defense because they you know, 132 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: they allowed air quotes twenty points in the first half, 133 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: but again the large majority of that was predicated upon 134 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: mistakes made by the offense. Fourteen of those twenty were 135 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: off of turnovers in short field. So the defense is 136 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: really who saved the game long enough or I should 137 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: say kept the Cowboys in the game long enough for 138 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: the for the offense to figure it out. And thankfully, 139 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: the offense figured it out with with not a second 140 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: to say to spare and they had to get down 141 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: the field. First, Yeah, the offense looked like pepulp at least, 142 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: let's talk about it. What happened second drive For first 143 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: drive was pretty good, even that there were there were 144 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: that was that was surgical. But yeah, that wasn't good. 145 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: He wasn't go. He struggled yesterday, Yes, until this is. 146 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 1: This is not a first time though, this is this 147 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: has been reoccurring this year, and he's technique wise, it 148 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: was shot. I felt like he relaxed on his mechanics 149 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: and just relying on his arm to try to gun 150 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: a lot of balls into bad situations. Not only was 151 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: the velocity turned up substantially from what he normally throws, 152 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: the location was off. So the velocity is higher and 153 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: the locations off, bad things happen, tip balls happen, ball 154 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: gets on QUICKITYR receivers quicker, they're in bad situations. And 155 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 1: I just felt like he just wasn't I feel like 156 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: he could just in his mind. It appeared as if 157 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: he could feel he could just gunsling it if it 158 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: felt very Brett farvish like, like, you know, just just 159 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: I could throw it around. If it touches your hands, 160 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: you're supposed to catch it type of thing. I'm not 161 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: gonna place it where it should be. I'm not gonna 162 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: place it with the velocity. I'm not gonna place it 163 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 1: with the loft, and it's gonna put you in the 164 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: best situation to be able to come down with the ball. 165 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna get you to get the ball in 166 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: your area. Figure it out. A lot of times at home, 167 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: when you're sitting there and you're watching the game, you're 168 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: thinking about it from like a maddened standpoint where you're 169 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: playing Madden and if it's a it's an underneath route, 170 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: you're holding down that bee button to try and get 171 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,839 Speaker 1: it quickly and throw a strike to your receiver. And 172 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: that velocity is not a bad thing. Why is the 173 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: real game of football on the gridiron? Why is it 174 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 1: different that velocity doesn't always equal good And last night 175 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: we saw that with Dak Yesterday we saw that there's 176 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: different balls. I mean, with the velocity that he was 177 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,079 Speaker 1: thrown with all yesterday. Those that's the velocity that you 178 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 1: typically throw on a timed post route, on a on 179 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: a comeback route with tight coverage and things of that nature. 180 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: These were slants, right, These were slant routes that that 181 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:36,959 Speaker 1: he was throwing those into some of some of these. 182 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,719 Speaker 1: There was obviously other routes in there as well, but 183 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,199 Speaker 1: it just wasn't good. And if you are going to 184 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,599 Speaker 1: be thrown a ball that hard, then it needs to 185 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: be on target. And it wasn't on target. And that's 186 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,199 Speaker 1: why you're starting to see tip balls. There's there's one interception, 187 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: nothing yet two interception should have like five, let's call 188 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: it how it is. Should have been like there's five minutes. 189 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe compeople are gonna try to call him, 190 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: but there were about five other opportunity unity east that 191 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: they had to intercept the ball. Well, defenders had their 192 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: hands on the football right, So it wasn't good. And 193 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: these are things that I've brought up in the past, 194 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: in past years, and then I brought him up again today, 195 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: right because he's in this he's thirty nine passes too many. 196 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: We've talked about Dad. We don't want DA getting anywhere 197 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: near forty passes. And Keller Moore went back to old 198 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: Keller Moore and put him in situations now where DA's like, Okay, 199 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,719 Speaker 1: it's on me. It's on me to start slinging this 200 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 1: thing around. And he's not that guy. I'm sorry, he's 201 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,199 Speaker 1: not that guy. Is he k ball for taking you 202 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: down there and winning the ball? Absolutely? Dak Prescott is skilled. 203 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 1: He's a skilled quarterback. I don't put him in the 204 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 1: elite call umn. I think he's a really good quarterback 205 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: when he's not forced to have to throw the ball 206 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: into victory. Well, yesterday, we can all agree, even if 207 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: we disagree on that point. Elite not elite. I say 208 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,559 Speaker 1: he's elite, but elite players have bad games, and it 209 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: was just wasn't a good game. But it was a 210 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: mixed bag as far as the pass an attack for 211 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: the couple's yesterday because on one note you'd see it out. 212 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 1: Use two plays on the same drive from two Dalton 213 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: shots to illustrate my point. Here, on one inside slant, 214 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: Dak throws it slightly behind shots catchable, but obviously behind. 215 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: It was this early in the game. Yeah, this was 216 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 1: first half. It was There was one that was just 217 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: a complete sale, just a different one. This is okay, 218 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: this is this is thinking of the sale would have 219 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: had a huge This was hot. No, this was this 220 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 1: was shows on an inside slant shoulder right and it 221 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 1: was back shoulder, so it was behind. You're not catchable. No, 222 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 1: not catchable behind you ain't catching it. But the one 223 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: that would have been the touchdown that Shows dropped. Oh, 224 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 1: that was a dot. That was a rope into triple 225 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: some good balls. No, My point being that yesterday was 226 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: a situation where Dak struggled, but he wasn't helped until 227 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: the ninety eight yard game winner for the most part 228 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: by the Bye receiver like don't show us for example, 229 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: So step up at that last drive and and Noah 230 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: Brown stepped up big and obviously you had to you know, 231 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: the interest option targeting Noah Brown, right, So you had 232 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 1: all of this these exorcisms of the demons earlier in 233 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: the game from Noah Brown in that interception, Dalton Shows 234 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,199 Speaker 1: in that drop touchdown. But it just it felt like 235 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: the Cowboys offense passing offense, not the run game because 236 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 1: Tony Poll and Zeke they were doing their thing, but 237 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: the passing attack it was just unsettled again. And it's 238 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: not to Isaiah's point, this is not the first time 239 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: this season we've seen it unsettled. So the Cowboys just 240 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: need to establish the consistency in their passing attack that says, hey, 241 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: we're not going to get away from the run. We're 242 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: gonna use it to set up the pass. And when 243 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: they started to get away from the run yesterday, we 244 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: started to see some some disheveled looks in the passing games. 245 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: One thing I want to I want to bring up 246 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,599 Speaker 1: and kind of kept Dak off balance. Houston did a 247 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: good job of disguising coverages. Yes, yes they do. Going 248 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: back and looking at it, there was a lot of 249 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 1: single high look that would turn into a cover two. 250 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 1: They would have a couple of guys in and out. 251 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: They had this Tampa two at times. Whatever they had 252 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: the linebacker kind of carry the guy down the middle 253 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: of the field. They did a good job of disguising 254 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: until the final drive. Texans went back into their shell. 255 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: I guess and no pun intended back into their shell 256 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 1: because it's a shell defense. They went to a Cover 257 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: two and they stuck to it all time and Dak 258 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: Prescott that's why I did a part. It's easier to 259 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: work down the field in a two minute drill than 260 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: any other portion of the game because defenses are playing 261 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: it safe. There's a big but don't break type of mentality, 262 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: and most defensive coordinators revert back to that. But to 263 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: your point, in terms of the coverages that they're running. 264 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,839 Speaker 1: Every team's going to disguise coverage. Some are gonna do 265 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: it better than others. Levy Smith is Levy Smith, He's 266 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: been around, He had that game plan ready, absolutely, and 267 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: other teams are going to watch this film. Other teams 268 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 1: are going to watch this film. But even with those disguises, 269 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott which just wasn't on his game and I'm 270 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: not going to sit up here and belittle him or 271 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: he had. He had a bad game and everybody has 272 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: a bad game. He's had multiple. He has had multiple 273 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: and that's where my concernedness. You can't let it compound 274 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 1: into something bigger. I don't know, is it. Is it 275 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: just because of expectation on Dak. No. I don't, I 276 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: don't not. I don't put any pressure on deck because 277 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,839 Speaker 1: the numbers are there, and I know you're not a 278 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,719 Speaker 1: numbers guy at all at all, but the numbers from 279 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 1: an offensive standpoint, there is a significant difference with Dak 280 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: Prescott at quarterback than it was without that. And it's 281 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: supposed to be and it's supposed to because there's levels 282 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: to this, right, there's levels to everything that in every asthme, 283 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: everything that you do in his life. There's levels to it. 284 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott is supposed to be a top thirty two 285 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: quarterback just period, right, he's hired. Yeah, but there's top 286 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: ten in the world. He's the top thirty two quarterback 287 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: in the world. Sure, Okay, that's that's facts. Okay. Now 288 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: you can go up there and have discussion debates sometimes 289 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: on how high up he goes. But the reality is 290 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: what they were doing yesterday was not disguised enough right 291 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: to cause him complications. There were routes in there that 292 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: we ran real well, and there's just bad balls. Whether 293 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: there's velocity, whether it's location. We talked. I talked about 294 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: it many times out here before left show versus right shoulder. 295 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: When I'm running a route to my left side and 296 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: when I'm running a slant route to my left, I 297 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: want the ball on my upfield shoulder. I want it 298 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: right on my body. I can't put it on my 299 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: back shoulder. It doesn't matter if it's lofted in there. 300 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: It doesn't mean it matter if it's give his guns 301 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: in there. That's no different than throwing a running back 302 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: of ball in the flat. You don't throw the running 303 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: back the ball in the flat you know, saying a 304 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: freaking bullet most of the time because usually know your personnel, 305 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: they can't handle it. Right. Luckily you had at Tony 306 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: Pollard out there because he came to his swing routes 307 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: out late a few times, yes yesterday, right on the touchdown. 308 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: It just happens to be a TP out there. So 309 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: those are the things that I'm talking about that like 310 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: get kind of kind of covered up and muddied up 311 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: because I want not that much attention is paid to it, 312 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: because the result of the play was awesome, right, But 313 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: my analytic mind, in my eyes, I see it. I'm 314 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: like what I say, and when we're watching the game. 315 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: So he came to that late, Oh, I'm in the 316 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: middle of the player, in the middle of plants that 317 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: he should be the ball should have been out, missed him, 318 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: miss him, and then he got him. He got a 319 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: CP just did TP thing, sure, right, But you start 320 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: thinking about some of these other teams and some of 321 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: the other personnel that these teams have. All I saw 322 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: on that play, Reggie Bush. I saw the Reggie Bush 323 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: play when he's playing for the Saints. He got his 324 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: whole got decapitated right, folded in a half those type 325 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: of plays can happen. I'm not gonna say, well, happen, 326 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: they can happen, and those are game changing plays because 327 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: you're just saying, oh, my guy can do this, or 328 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: oh I don't have to focus on the details of 329 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: this particular play, or my mechanics got to tighten it up. Yeah, 330 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: I agree. Again, we are all in agreeing Dak Prescott 331 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: had a bad game. Yes, I would say the good 332 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: news is it's a week to week league. So last 333 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: week they blow the doors off the coach. This week 334 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: play barely escape the upset over the Texans. And now 335 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: you moved to Jacksonville now and we'll preview Jacksonville later 336 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: in the week. But Jacksonville is better than the Texans, 337 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: so you better clean up actually one of the hotter 338 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: teams in the NFL, and you better clean up what 339 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: you need to clean up this week going, you know, 340 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: as you prepare for the Jacksonville Jaguars. But you know, 341 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: again it's it's another bad I say another bad because 342 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: for me, I still harken back to week one. Week 343 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: one was just abysmal. And again, and I've said it before, 344 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: Week one to me was the worst outing in Dak 345 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: Prescott's career. So was this as bad as that. No, 346 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,919 Speaker 1: But it doesn't mean that it wasn't bad. I mean, 347 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: this was still a struggle game for Dak that was 348 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 1: able to be deleted by Dak thankfully once he got 349 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 1: the protection on the right side, and then the confidence 350 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 1: in the clutch meter kind of just went through the 351 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: roof and march those boys down ninety year yards. But 352 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 1: prior to that happening, you have flashes. You saw the 353 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 1: fifty plus yarder to Noah Brown and you know, made 354 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: some big plays and get big catches by Ceedee Lamb, 355 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: and but more often than not, you found yourself asking 356 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 1: yourself during the game, what's going on with this Cowboys 357 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: passing attack. This isn't the same one we saw against 358 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 1: the Coast, This isn't the same one that we saw 359 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 1: against the Vikings, etcetera, etcetera. So that tells you that 360 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: they can do better. Just do it, Yeah, a consistent basis, 361 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 1: because if if this isn't the Texans and you have 362 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: this out and you lose this game. There were a 363 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: lot of struggles up front too for the Cowboys offensive line, 364 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 1: and it wasn't just the right side with Josh Ball 365 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: Tyler Smith didn't have a good game. Connor McGovern didn't 366 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 1: have a good game. Uh, Tyler Biadash was decent. And 367 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: then Zack Martin, Zach Martin, he's perfect it certainly and 368 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:14,959 Speaker 1: it absolutely did Josh Ball struggled now struggled bold statement 369 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 1: here he wasn't he was serviceable in the first two 370 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: drafts that he was in serviceable, but then it just 371 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: fell off wheels fell off complete and it was not good. 372 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 1: But we'll talk more about the offensive line a little 373 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,159 Speaker 1: bit later on. I want to switch the focus to 374 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: the defense. Just how Houston didn't disguise coverages, something that 375 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 1: kind of helps keep things off balance for the Cowboys 376 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: offense early. They made another change in the fourth quarter 377 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 1: that just leaves me mind boggle. Now I bring that 378 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 1: up in a moment that might have helped Dallas win 379 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 1: the ball game. We'll be right back with more talking 380 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: Cowboys right after this.

Should be fun to watch and send the 432 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: kiddos too, if you haven't already. All right, let's focus 433 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the football. First game all year, 434 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,400 Speaker 1: all year that Dallas had been held without a sack, 435 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 1: gretit to Houston. They did a good job up front. 436 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: There are a couple of times when Kenyon Green struggled 437 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: against notably Osa Diggi Zoooh so Diggi Zoo had a 438 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: great game. I thought the coverage was solid, but you're 439 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 1: also going up against Chris Moore and not going out. 440 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 1: He had to get He had a day. He was 441 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 1: pretty much the only guy that yeah, I mean more 442 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: more had ten receptions for one hundred and twenty four yards. 443 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: That's a freaking day, Yes it is. But nobody else 444 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: really did anything other than maybe a Marii Rodgers who 445 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,360 Speaker 1: had the touchdown. Drafts had key position, sure that extended drive. 446 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: But for the most part, Kelvin was was solid, dron 447 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 1: Bland was about as good as he has been, and 448 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: then Treyvon Digg's battling injury was good at times too. 449 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: But I want to talk about the pass rush for 450 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: a second. What did they do differently in this game, 451 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: Isaiah that kept Michael Parsons to Marcus Lawrence Dareance Armstrong 452 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: out of the backfield because no other team has been 453 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: able to do that yet. They got the boat out 454 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: their hands. I mean they were They were effective and 455 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: getting the ball at their hands quickly. They weren't trying 456 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 1: to hold onto it. They kept mixing the quarterbacks up 457 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: in terms of running the ball as well. Um, they 458 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: didn't just allow you to key in on Pierce, even 459 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: though I think they end up getting knocked out the game, right, Um, 460 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 1: but I think they ran the ball effectively and then 461 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 1: they just ran quick game. They weren't going to sit 462 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,120 Speaker 1: back there all day long and hold it. They weren't 463 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: going to give Dallas opportunity. I war, I think the 464 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: Texans had a really good freaking game plan, a really 465 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 1: good game plan, and I'm a little concerned. Well here's 466 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 1: here's why I'm not concerned in the realm of the 467 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,360 Speaker 1: pass rush. And you know I said it during the game, 468 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 1: you know, I tweeted it as much. I said, this 469 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: a zero SAT game, this is weird to watch from 470 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. But then I started thinking about it on 471 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: the drive home, and I'm like, you know what happened. 472 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: I went back and I looked at the you know, 473 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: the all twenty two wasn't up yet, so I look 474 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: at the condensed version of the game. Was kind of 475 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 1: just scheming over it. And Isaiah's right. So point number one, 476 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 1: they got that ball out quickly, but that two quarterback, 477 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: that that back and forth, back and forth, you can't 478 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: time your cadence like you can't get the cadence timing 479 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 1: for that. If you're the defensive lineman and that's your 480 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 1: get off, is a large reason that you'll get pressures 481 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 1: and you'll get disruptions, and you will hopefully get sacks. 482 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: So when you have a team that's it's David's mills, right, now, 483 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: but the next play it's Drisco. Then the next play 484 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 1: it's Davis Mills, the next play Driskol. Okay, well, the 485 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 1: Texans prepared for that all week and then going into 486 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: this game. But if you're the Cowboys, you're like, okay, 487 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 1: what's drisclls cadence? And then you're trying to okay, I 488 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: think I got Driskles, and then here comes David's Mills 489 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: and you're like, oh crap. So I think Isaiah makes 490 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:13,880 Speaker 1: a great point. Go back and look at the game. 491 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: They absolutely were getting that ball out as quickly as possible, 492 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 1: and Piers was doing his thing for the most part 493 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: before he went down to injury. But again, a large 494 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: part of it was just the subterfuge of constantly swapping 495 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: out quarterbacks. I think that those two different cadences on 496 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: a play to play basis really just wrecked what the 497 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: Cowboys pass us wanted to do. That was a big word. 498 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: What was that word? Subterfuge? What does that even mean? Misdirection? 499 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,479 Speaker 1: Mis direction? If you just get you looking over here 500 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: and can you write that down? You spell it sub 501 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 1: subter t e r fuge, subterfuge, get you looking Never 502 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: heard that one. Get you looking left and then here 503 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: comes to right, and then now you're looking right and 504 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 1: here comes to left. Does that throw guys off that 505 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: much to have two different guys at quarterback and kind 506 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 1: of have every other play? I mean, yeah, it was 507 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,439 Speaker 1: all over. Yes, I even charted it for a little bit. 508 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: First half, where's it at? First half? Mills had ten 509 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 1: pass plays, six run plays. Drift School, however, had fifteen 510 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: run plays and four pass plays while he's in the 511 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 1: ball game. Isn't that just a dead giveaway of whenever 512 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: Drift School you see six in the backfield. Yeah, you 513 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: have the four pass plays, but for the most part 514 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 1: you're running the football. How do you not key in 515 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,160 Speaker 1: on that? As a defense? They're running his own read too. 516 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,880 Speaker 1: So that's that's the thing that keeps you at Bay. 517 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 1: That's the thing that's given Dallas issues. Right. We talked 518 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: about the RPO. RPO you know has caused issues for 519 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 1: Dallas in the past. This is really not that much different. 520 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 1: And the defensive ends have to stop, they have to 521 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: read the quarterback. And that's the reason why the Texans 522 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,360 Speaker 1: did this. They watched the film, they've seen, they've seen 523 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 1: the teams that Dallas has struggled against. They've seen, you know, 524 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles, how they pretty much just neutralize the 525 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 1: defense with the pass rush of these guys as well. 526 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: It just is what it is, man Like I said, 527 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: everything that we say, every topic that we address, it 528 00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: goes back to them having a heck of a game 529 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: plan and they executed it too. They executed it too. 530 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,919 Speaker 1: They just didn't have enough players to execute it at 531 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: the level to beat Dallas, but to finish it. But 532 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: this will be copied. There were only are you calling 533 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: this the blueprint? Are you calling this a brute the blueprint? 534 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: I'm saying that the blueprint has been has been laid 535 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: out in previous games. And Lovey put it all together. 536 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,360 Speaker 1: There were still a couple of guys on the defensive 537 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: line that the Texans had no answer for being the 538 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: run of the past. So in the in the past 539 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 1: and game Osa was having himself a day. I can 540 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: watch the film and he almost had to walk off 541 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 1: sack if that false start didn't delete that tank. In 542 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: the run game, we talked about what he did the Birkhead. 543 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 1: You saw him back to getting hands on Piers Tank 544 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 1: affected the game in a massive way as well. You 545 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: would have obviously liked to see more from your generational 546 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 1: game record and Michael Parsons, you didn't, um Blamie Tunsil 547 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 1: was who he went up against quite often. Yeah, why 548 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: why didn't they flip him around more? Off? I don't 549 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 1: have an answer for that. That's that's my thing, because 550 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: he went up against Tountsol a lot and give blaremy 551 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,120 Speaker 1: Tunsol a ton of credit. He's great. I mean, he's 552 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 1: one of the best tackles in the league. And Michael 553 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 1: Parsons was head up on Tunso for quite some time 554 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 1: and they didn't flip them to the opposite side. I 555 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: mean it could maybe he didn't want wasn't that. It 556 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: wasn't a whole lot of stunts. I could have been 557 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 1: because Tank was. We just said Tank was affecting the 558 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 1: game on the left side. So I don't want to 559 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: really want to disrupt that to try to get Michael going. 560 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: But I mean, this is a great question, A great question. 561 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 1: Well you know, we'll ask well as DQ this afternoon. Yeah, 562 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: to say you're gonna you're gonna make that after nine. 563 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: With that being said, I felt like we went back 564 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,679 Speaker 1: to where we were the past three weeks of taking 565 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 1: a lethal running back in Damian Pierce and at least 566 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 1: neutralizing him. He wasn't He was physical. He had some 567 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,120 Speaker 1: big runs, but for the most part, he was limited 568 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 1: in terms of the numbers that he could come to. 569 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 1: At the end of the game, What did you think 570 00:27:56,160 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: about the way they handled the run? What you can 571 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,880 Speaker 1: expect from him. He's a dominant running back. I don't 572 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: care anybody says he's on a terrible team, obviously, but 573 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 1: he's a heck of a running back. And you know, 574 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: he got what seventy eight yards something like that, Yeah, 575 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: seventy eight and one Tuddy. He was physical, He was 576 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 1: what you thought he would be, and I think he 577 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: got a little bit banged up there. But I mean 578 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 1: that's there's no other options for them. I mean, they 579 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 1: obviously had a receiver that one out there and had 580 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 1: had a day, but there's not a ton of options. 581 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: My concern isn't with these teams that have just one 582 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 1: guy that can beat you up and you do a 583 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 1: good job of keeping him under under one hundred yards. Again, 584 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: all my thought process always goes to the games that 585 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: are one and out, the playoffs, and if you face 586 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: a team that has the ability to have a guy 587 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 1: run eighty one hundred yards. Oh and by the way, 588 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: there's three other receivers out there and tighten. Now, all 589 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 1: of a sudden, that presents a problem because you can't 590 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 1: just key in on that one aspect of the game. 591 00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: When you're playing the Texans, you can kill on that 592 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: one aspect of the game because you're really not that 593 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: concerned about other people hurting you. There's one receiver that 594 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: went off, Okay, cool, But there are going to be 595 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: teams that you face when those games matter, and they're 596 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 1: gonna have two to three threats on the outside plus 597 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: a running back that can hurt you or a quarterback. Well, 598 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: I'll say this for Damien Pierce, and you know he 599 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: affected the game as well, But the Cowboys did do 600 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: a pretty good job, all things considered, the bottling him up. 601 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: And I'd be remiss if I said that and didn't 602 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: make the point of l Laton vander Esch played out 603 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: of his mind yesterday fourteen combined tackles, nine solo. He 604 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 1: had three more solo tackles than the second most tally 605 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 1: on the team, which was the Ron Bland, who made 606 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: a good game as well. Lvee was all over the place. 607 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: He was decisive and you know, filling the gaps, attacking 608 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: those holes to cantastic. So between him helping to set 609 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: the edge, Pierce did get off a couple of times 610 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 1: on the edge, but if you notice, Pierce didn't really 611 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: gain a lot of success in those A and B 612 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: gaps until Jonathan Hankins went down in with injury. When 613 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: Hankins went down with injury, suddenly you saw three four 614 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: consecutive run plays into those those gaps, and that also 615 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: shows you the value of Jonathan Hankins. So hopefully Hankins 616 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: is good to go. Sounds like it's a shoulder slash 617 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 1: pick issue. You know, we'll know more here in the 618 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: next day or so. Maybe Mike McCarthy will have some 619 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: insight this afternoon. But all things considered, between how l 620 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 1: V played in Hankins when he was on the field 621 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 1: and DeMarcus Lawrence being magnificent against the run, it's like 622 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: you said, how it's yet another game in which they 623 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: at least bottled up a dynamic running back. So it 624 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: looks like the run defense is healed, but you got 625 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: some secondary issues as far as your cornerbacks are concerned. 626 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: Outside of Trevon Diggs and de Rhyn Bland. What we're 627 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: gonna say, I have to say is not in regards 628 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: to defense. So I'll hold it. Oh, hold it for 629 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: just a second because I've got a bold statement. Okay, 630 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: let's let's say, let's finish on some bold statements and 631 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: then we'll give some helmet stickers in the next segment. 632 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 1: So all right, you mentioned how Damian Pierce left the game, right. 633 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: He injured that ankle early in the fourth quarter. He 634 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: came back, he played with ten fifty to go in 635 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: the ball game, took a third yard or a third 636 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: down in two carry and he punched it up the middle. 637 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: Looked fine. He was actually in the play or in 638 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: the formation up the middle. He was in the formation 639 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 1: three plays in a row, bang bang, bang, and he 640 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: was fine. So he was absent at the end of 641 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: the game. In a goal line stand. Lovey Smith after 642 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: the game said that if he was healthy enough to go, 643 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 1: he would have been in the plans inside the five 644 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: yard line on the goal line stand. I don't buy it. 645 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: I don't buy I think they held him out. I 646 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 1: think they held him out in the goal line stand. 647 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: You think I think so? Is it a T word. 648 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 1: I think they held him out. So that's a bold statement. 649 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 1: I have nothing of concrete to put that on Asa. 650 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 1: I'm just I don't I don't buy it. I'm gonna 651 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: take it. I'm okay with it. I said this after 652 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: the game offline to a colleague. I said, I wonder 653 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: if that was the perfect game for the Texans because 654 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: they were very competitive and almost landed the biggest upset 655 00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 1: of the season. But did they still remain number one 656 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 1: in the draft seating? So you did exactly what you 657 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 1: needed to do as a hey coach and say, hey, 658 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: I can see I can make these guys compete with anybody. Yeah, 659 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: but I did it without losing my eyes. I just 660 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 1: I think it was It was the perfect game for 661 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 1: a coincidence. And if there's if there's smoke, sometimes there's fire. 662 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 1: Maybe not, who knows. But they didn't change They changed 663 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: their entire game plan defensively in the back half of 664 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter on the ninety eight yard drive, and 665 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 1: then they all of a sudden didn't have their best 666 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 1: running back on the field in a goal line situation 667 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 1: whenever he played. After he was injured, he came back 668 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 1: into the ball game and he played. If he hadn't 669 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 1: have done that, then I would say, Okay, maybe he 670 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 1: got hurt, but the Texans are doing what the Texas 671 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: are doing. But can I make a bull statement? Yeah, 672 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 1: now it's your turn. I need everybody to go back, 673 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 1: going back, everybody who was arguing with me about whether 674 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 1: or not Tyler Smith should be bumped down to the 675 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 1: left guard position. When Tyron Smith comes back, go watch 676 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 1: the first series of the second quarter. Oh, just just 677 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: watch that series and you decide if he's if he's 678 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 1: ready to be the left guard of the starting left guard. 679 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 1: You watch, just go to break on that one. You 680 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 1: have other sample sizes of him at level guard this 681 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 1: season as will put it all in the pot. Not 682 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 1: just that sample. I'm talking about the whole the whole series. 683 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: I rode the fence last year, but I'm gonna ride 684 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 1: the fence or last week. I'm gonna ride the fence 685 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 1: again right now. Because just as there was bad tape 686 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:32,959 Speaker 1: for Tyler Smith, there was also some bad tape from 687 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 1: Connor McGovern tis. There was there. It was both they 688 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: we even looked at have a lot of good tape 689 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 1: of mcgovernor at left guard. Sure we have, including this 690 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 1: game he made play don't have we have maybe a 691 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 1: sample size of good tape of Tyler Smith at left guard? 692 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 1: Are you talking about this is? This is where he's 693 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 1: at left guard and pieces when Peters is the left 694 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 1: tackle in this game against the Texans and they put 695 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 1: Tyler Smith at left left guard, watch that series the series, 696 00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 1: not the play the series Jesus and then added to 697 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: the other samples go ahead and also without tip and 698 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: it didn't make you're educated if think about it this 699 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 1: way too. This may be a conversation for tomorrow. But 700 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,319 Speaker 1: Terrence Steele, if he's unavailable for the rest of the season, 701 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,239 Speaker 1: which it looks like that might be a concern at 702 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 1: the moment. Still nothing concrete on that either. However, if 703 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 1: he's not available, would you rather have a backup left 704 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,919 Speaker 1: guard in Connor McGovern sitting on the sideline or would 705 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,280 Speaker 1: you rather have a backup swing tackle for if Tyron 706 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 1: Smith or Jason Peters. Conversation is different now, yeah, it's 707 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,839 Speaker 1: completely different. It's different now. Yeah, so scrap everything we've 708 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 1: talked about this week, because in my boat room, your 709 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 1: boat is in a different lake.
