WEBVTT - Talkin' Cowboys: Riverboat Dak? 0:00:03.120 --> 0:00:05.600 The following He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:14.360 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This He's Talking 0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:19.000 Cowboys screening live from the Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at 0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:29.120 the Star in Frisco to the livest and now your hosts, 0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:34.680 I say a stand back Patrick Walker and Kyle Yeoman's 0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:49.559 Dallas Cowboys. It wasn't exactly how they drew it up, 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:52.800 but either way, it is still a victory Monday. Here 0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:56.840 from the Star in Frisco in Week fourteen of the 0:00:56.960 --> 0:01:00.160 NFL season, the Dallas Cowboys come out on top up 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:03.640 over the Houston Texans twenty seven, twenty three, and will 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:06.200 break it down for you here over the next forty 0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:10.600 five minutes from the Star in Frisco, presented by Black 0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:14.120 Rifle Coffee Company, alongside Patrick Nose Walker, Isaiah stand back 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:16.880 Chris Beam in the backroom, Kyle Yeoman's, gentlemen, how are 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:21.479 we doing? Everybody got their heart rate down a little bit? 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:25.319 Is it back down to resting rate at the moment 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:27.640 I was able to. It took a well last night, 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:29.679 but I was able to get it smoothed out. There 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:34.360 was a nervous energy from the middle of the first quarter, 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:36.800 really up until the end of the game, I mean 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:43.560 until the pick was made by Israel mcquamu aka Treyvon Diggs, whoever, whoever, 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:47.000 whoever you ask, when that pick was made. That was 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:51.960 finally the decompression after what was a three hour long 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:56.880 nerve fest all the way through, because as soon as 0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:59.920 Kavante Turpin muffed the punt, it looked like it was 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.480 gonna get tcey and you thought the Cowboys would pull 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:05.280 it out. You thought they would pull away at some point. 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:08.680 That didn't necessarily happen, Isaiah, Nope, didn't happen. That's what 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:10.240 happens when you show up a thing that you just 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:13.799 handle anybody based upon records, based upon your skill sets. 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:15.560 I mean, this is the NFL, or this is a 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:18.520 professional athletes, the best in the world. There's only so 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:21.399 many guys at each position, there's only so many coordinators. 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.399 You're gonna face the best you know every week, and 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:26.200 you have to bring your a game no matter what, 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:28.840 no matter what situation you think that you're walking into. 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.480 And you know, the Texans punched Dallas in the mouth, 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:33.840 and unfortunately, it takes a lot to try to get 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:36.000 yourself out of a rut. That's why you show up 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:38.760 and you start fast, because if you don't, then you 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:40.960 give teams confidence and then they can stick around, and 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:43.800 then you find yourself in a situation. And luckily they 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:45.760 was able to find themselves out of one just because 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:49.359 of that quarterback play on the part of the Texans. 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:52.480 But everybody knows that Dallas should have lost that game. 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:55.320 They should have lost that game, that had that quarterback 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.480 not gone the wrong way, they probably would have lost, 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.920 and a couple other things and a couple but specifically 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:06.639 line stand. I don't know that the Cowboys mentally were 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.600 overlooking the Texans as much as it was just good 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:13.560 old fashioned mistakes, just good old fashioned mistakes, I can 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.040 I can guarantee you that you know Turpin after he 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.520 cost that fair catch, he's not thinking, oh, this is 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:22.359 the Texans. No, just good old fashioned mistakes. And then 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:24.040 what do the Texans do. They go down, they get 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.200 a touchdown off of that, and correct me if I'm wrong. 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.920 The Texans had seventeen fourteen or seventeen points off of 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:32.520 Cowboys turnovers. Fourteen should have been twenty one because they 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:34.880 had the ball outside the five yards. So you know, 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:37.640 the Cowboys, we talked about it, MISQ shooting yourself in 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:39.400 the foot. They shot themselves in the foot. And that's 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:42.000 how you allow teams that you're better than to remain 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:45.000 in the game. And that's what we saw. And it's 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:47.080 something that the Cowboys are going to have to be 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:49.920 consistent in cleaning up because the only reason they were 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:52.560 able to escape. And kudos to a ninety eight yard 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:55.760 drive and Dak Prescott and Dalton shots and you know, 0:03:55.920 --> 0:04:00.560 Noah Brown and Jason Peters and we'll get to I 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.440 saw your tweet on y'ahoo news last night. Did you 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.200 which one his tweet about Jason Peters giving him as 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.280 good jacket? They they posted it on an article. 'ah 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:10.480 that man his gold jacket in the post game? Um? 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:13.320 And you know, and kudos to Joe Philbin and coach 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:16.800 McCarthy for making that decision. But it took that to overcome, 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:20.000 you know, errors that the Cowboys made. So again, I 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:22.280 don't believe it wasn't as much that they overlooked texts. 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:23.640 I don't believe they did. And I don't believe that 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.839 the Texans quarterbacks played poorly. They made a poor decision 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:30.320 ultimately that helped cost them the game. But they really 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:34.040 attacked that young Cowboys secondary outside of Treyvon Diggs. And 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:37.840 and you know, kudos to Kelvin Joseph for making up 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:40.000 for it with that huge PBu on that third down, 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:42.360 but prior to that he was getting targeted. To talk 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:45.080 about the thirty plus yard gainer that ended up being 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.000 a field goal, I believe for the for the Texans, 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:49.919 uh so be it him or n Sean right, whomever 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.520 the case may be. They in their two quarterbacks set, 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:54.640 which was weird, but they had nothing to lose. But 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:58.839 between Driscoll and um David's Mills, they really just attacked 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.520 underneath and those young guys you know you're gonna have 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.480 to step up. So Lovey Smith had a plan and 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.640 they were executing that plan. But it wouldn't have mattered 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:11.239 if the Cowboys had played clean football. No, I agree 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.000 with you completely, and I like the way you kind 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.680 of set that up because one, and this is kind 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.520 of a sidebar, but I thought Calvin Joseph and Deron 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:20.960 Bland played good football. Going back and watching the tape, 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:22.839 for the most part, they were solid. They gave up 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:26.000 a couple of receptions. It's gonna happen from time to time, 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:29.600 and honestly, the one passed to Chris Moore on the sideline, 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:31.480 that was just a ball. That was a dime from 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.920 Davis Mills. They in good coverage from Calvin Joseph. That 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.240 was the sidebar. Sidebar now over. But the way you 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:40.839 set up the fact that offensively there were mistakes, they 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:43.680 made the plays when they needed to. Defensively, there were 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:46.920 certainly mistakes, but they made the plays when they needed to. 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:50.200 Dallas should not have won this game. The way that 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:53.640 they played for eighty percent of that ball game, eighty 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.280 percent of it, the Texans outplayed Dallas. You could tell 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:58.719 they wanted it just a little bit more. It looked 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:01.480 like a young college team looking to prove something. And 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.080 not to compare the Texans to a college team, because 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:06.760 they are a professional organization. However, it just felt like 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:10.000 that type of energy. It was pent up aggression, trying 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.880 to get the job done. But Dallas, when they needed 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:16.920 to answer, was there when it mattered most, and that's 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:20.480 what ultimately ended up being the deciding fact. They still tall, 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:25.680 particularly the defense who time and again gave the Cowboys 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.279 opportunities as far as the offensive side of the ball 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:32.040 to get new possessions and go downfield and score. And 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:35.440 unfortunately later in the game, it wasn't until that ninety 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:38.080 eight yard drive that won the game that it happened. 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:40.840 I have in the fourth quarter, third and seven pass 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:44.800 breakup by Kelvin Joseph, the Galimore pass breakup on third 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.160 thirty four right, the fourth down stopped by Galimore and 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:53.240 Bard that came after that tank shut down on Rex Birkhead, 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:57.200 and that those two plays alone saved the game. And 0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:00.720 finally the Cowboys offense once they put Peters in to 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:03.320 protect on the right side other than you know, outside 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:05.320 of Josh Ball, that's when they were able to make 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:08.800 that drive. But kudos to the defense because they you know, 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:12.920 they allowed air quotes twenty points in the first half, 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:16.880 but again the large majority of that was predicated upon 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:19.840 mistakes made by the offense. Fourteen of those twenty were 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.920 off of turnovers in short field. So the defense is 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:26.520 really who saved the game long enough or I should 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:28.680 say kept the Cowboys in the game long enough for 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.320 the for the offense to figure it out. And thankfully, 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:34.480 the offense figured it out with with not a second 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:38.280 to say to spare and they had to get down 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:43.360 the field. First, Yeah, the offense looked like pepulp at least, 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:46.440 let's talk about it. What happened second drive For first 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:49.400 drive was pretty good, even that there were there were 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:54.760 that was that was surgical. But yeah, that wasn't good. 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.800 He wasn't go. He struggled yesterday, Yes, until this is. 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:00.080 This is not a first time though, this is this 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:04.640 has been reoccurring this year, and he's technique wise, it 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:09.240 was shot. I felt like he relaxed on his mechanics 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:12.400 and just relying on his arm to try to gun 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:15.960 a lot of balls into bad situations. Not only was 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:19.920 the velocity turned up substantially from what he normally throws, 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:23.040 the location was off. So the velocity is higher and 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:26.200 the locations off, bad things happen, tip balls happen, ball 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:30.360 gets on QUICKITYR receivers quicker, they're in bad situations. And 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:32.199 I just felt like he just wasn't I feel like 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:34.640 he could just in his mind. It appeared as if 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.120 he could feel he could just gunsling it if it 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:40.360 felt very Brett farvish like, like, you know, just just 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:42.360 I could throw it around. If it touches your hands, 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:44.000 you're supposed to catch it type of thing. I'm not 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:45.800 gonna place it where it should be. I'm not gonna 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:47.280 place it with the velocity. I'm not gonna place it 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:48.959 with the loft, and it's gonna put you in the 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:50.600 best situation to be able to come down with the ball. 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:52.400 I'm just gonna get you to get the ball in 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:54.800 your area. Figure it out. A lot of times at home, 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:56.560 when you're sitting there and you're watching the game, you're 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.440 thinking about it from like a maddened standpoint where you're 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.000 playing Madden and if it's a it's an underneath route, 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:04.040 you're holding down that bee button to try and get 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.839 it quickly and throw a strike to your receiver. And 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:09.400 that velocity is not a bad thing. Why is the 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:12.240 real game of football on the gridiron? Why is it 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:16.200 different that velocity doesn't always equal good And last night 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.400 we saw that with Dak Yesterday we saw that there's 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:20.480 different balls. I mean, with the velocity that he was 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:23.079 thrown with all yesterday. Those that's the velocity that you 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:28.559 typically throw on a timed post route, on a on 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:31.280 a comeback route with tight coverage and things of that nature. 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:35.120 These were slants, right, These were slant routes that that 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:36.959 he was throwing those into some of some of these. 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:38.719 There was obviously other routes in there as well, but 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:41.199 it just wasn't good. And if you are going to 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:43.599 be thrown a ball that hard, then it needs to 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:46.560 be on target. And it wasn't on target. And that's 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:49.199 why you're starting to see tip balls. There's there's one interception, 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:53.600 nothing yet two interception should have like five, let's call 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:55.400 it how it is. Should have been like there's five minutes. 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:57.120 I mean, maybe compeople are gonna try to call him, 0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:00.760 but there were about five other opportunity unity east that 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:03.040 they had to intercept the ball. Well, defenders had their 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:06.000 hands on the football right, So it wasn't good. And 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.040 these are things that I've brought up in the past, 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:11.040 in past years, and then I brought him up again today, 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:16.640 right because he's in this he's thirty nine passes too many. 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:19.720 We've talked about Dad. We don't want DA getting anywhere 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:23.240 near forty passes. And Keller Moore went back to old 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:26.040 Keller Moore and put him in situations now where DA's like, Okay, 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:28.719 it's on me. It's on me to start slinging this 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.560 thing around. And he's not that guy. I'm sorry, he's 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:33.199 not that guy. Is he k ball for taking you 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:36.520 down there and winning the ball? Absolutely? Dak Prescott is skilled. 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:38.439 He's a skilled quarterback. I don't put him in the 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:40.559 elite call umn. I think he's a really good quarterback 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:43.320 when he's not forced to have to throw the ball 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:47.160 into victory. Well, yesterday, we can all agree, even if 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:49.280 we disagree on that point. Elite not elite. I say 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:51.559 he's elite, but elite players have bad games, and it 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:53.160 was just wasn't a good game. But it was a 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:55.120 mixed bag as far as the pass an attack for 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:59.440 the couple's yesterday because on one note you'd see it out. 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.679 Use two plays on the same drive from two Dalton 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:07.000 shots to illustrate my point. Here, on one inside slant, 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:11.480 Dak throws it slightly behind shots catchable, but obviously behind. 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:13.920 It was this early in the game. Yeah, this was 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:16.439 first half. It was There was one that was just 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:19.240 a complete sale, just a different one. This is okay, 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:21.800 this is this is thinking of the sale would have 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:24.280 had a huge This was hot. No, this was this 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:27.319 was shows on an inside slant shoulder right and it 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:30.439 was back shoulder, so it was behind. You're not catchable. No, 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:33.440 not catchable behind you ain't catching it. But the one 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:36.040 that would have been the touchdown that Shows dropped. Oh, 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.679 that was a dot. That was a rope into triple 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:42.640 some good balls. No, My point being that yesterday was 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:47.800 a situation where Dak struggled, but he wasn't helped until 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:51.400 the ninety eight yard game winner for the most part 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:53.920 by the Bye receiver like don't show us for example, 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:57.160 So step up at that last drive and and Noah 0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:59.520 Brown stepped up big and obviously you had to you know, 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:03.120 the interest option targeting Noah Brown, right, So you had 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:06.199 all of this these exorcisms of the demons earlier in 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:08.920 the game from Noah Brown in that interception, Dalton Shows 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:11.199 in that drop touchdown. But it just it felt like 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:14.040 the Cowboys offense passing offense, not the run game because 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:16.079 Tony Poll and Zeke they were doing their thing, but 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:19.520 the passing attack it was just unsettled again. And it's 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:21.280 not to Isaiah's point, this is not the first time 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:25.480 this season we've seen it unsettled. So the Cowboys just 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:29.600 need to establish the consistency in their passing attack that says, hey, 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:32.800 we're not going to get away from the run. We're 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:35.000 gonna use it to set up the pass. And when 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.400 they started to get away from the run yesterday, we 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:41.280 started to see some some disheveled looks in the passing games. 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:42.880 One thing I want to I want to bring up 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.599 and kind of kept Dak off balance. Houston did a 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:48.080 good job of disguising coverages. Yes, yes they do. Going 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:49.400 back and looking at it, there was a lot of 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:52.679 single high look that would turn into a cover two. 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:54.679 They would have a couple of guys in and out. 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:57.040 They had this Tampa two at times. Whatever they had 0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:59.480 the linebacker kind of carry the guy down the middle 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:03.280 of the field. They did a good job of disguising 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:08.280 until the final drive. Texans went back into their shell. 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:10.800 I guess and no pun intended back into their shell 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:12.679 because it's a shell defense. They went to a Cover 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:15.880 two and they stuck to it all time and Dak 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:17.920 Prescott that's why I did a part. It's easier to 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:19.600 work down the field in a two minute drill than 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:22.360 any other portion of the game because defenses are playing 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:25.400 it safe. There's a big but don't break type of mentality, 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:28.520 and most defensive coordinators revert back to that. But to 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:30.640 your point, in terms of the coverages that they're running. 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:32.839 Every team's going to disguise coverage. Some are gonna do 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:35.240 it better than others. Levy Smith is Levy Smith, He's 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:37.640 been around, He had that game plan ready, absolutely, and 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:40.800 other teams are going to watch this film. Other teams 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:43.679 are going to watch this film. But even with those disguises, 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:46.839 Dak Prescott which just wasn't on his game and I'm 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:49.240 not going to sit up here and belittle him or 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:52.280 he had. He had a bad game and everybody has 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:55.760 a bad game. He's had multiple. He has had multiple 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:58.800 and that's where my concernedness. You can't let it compound 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:04.079 into something bigger. I don't know, is it. Is it 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:06.880 just because of expectation on Dak. No. I don't, I 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:09.920 don't not. I don't put any pressure on deck because 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:11.839 the numbers are there, and I know you're not a 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:14.719 numbers guy at all at all, but the numbers from 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:18.079 an offensive standpoint, there is a significant difference with Dak 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:21.080 Prescott at quarterback than it was without that. And it's 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:23.600 supposed to be and it's supposed to because there's levels 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:27.000 to this, right, there's levels to everything that in every asthme, 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.240 everything that you do in his life. There's levels to it. 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:32.360 Dak Prescott is supposed to be a top thirty two 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:37.200 quarterback just period, right, he's hired. Yeah, but there's top 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:39.480 ten in the world. He's the top thirty two quarterback 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:41.720 in the world. Sure, Okay, that's that's facts. Okay. Now 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:43.760 you can go up there and have discussion debates sometimes 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:46.040 on how high up he goes. But the reality is 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:49.920 what they were doing yesterday was not disguised enough right 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.680 to cause him complications. There were routes in there that 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:55.680 we ran real well, and there's just bad balls. Whether 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:58.120 there's velocity, whether it's location. We talked. I talked about 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:00.880 it many times out here before left show versus right shoulder. 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:02.680 When I'm running a route to my left side and 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:04.680 when I'm running a slant route to my left, I 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:06.720 want the ball on my upfield shoulder. I want it 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:08.440 right on my body. I can't put it on my 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:10.320 back shoulder. It doesn't matter if it's lofted in there. 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:12.160 It doesn't mean it matter if it's give his guns 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:14.520 in there. That's no different than throwing a running back 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:16.680 of ball in the flat. You don't throw the running 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.000 back the ball in the flat you know, saying a 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:21.960 freaking bullet most of the time because usually know your personnel, 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:23.920 they can't handle it. Right. Luckily you had at Tony 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:26.200 Pollard out there because he came to his swing routes 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:30.440 out late a few times, yes yesterday, right on the touchdown. 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:32.120 It just happens to be a TP out there. So 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:33.720 those are the things that I'm talking about that like 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:36.200 get kind of kind of covered up and muddied up 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:38.160 because I want not that much attention is paid to it, 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:41.040 because the result of the play was awesome, right, But 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:43.840 my analytic mind, in my eyes, I see it. I'm 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:45.160 like what I say, and when we're watching the game. 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:47.040 So he came to that late, Oh, I'm in the 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:48.880 middle of the player, in the middle of plants that 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:50.640 he should be the ball should have been out, missed him, 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:52.120 miss him, and then he got him. He got a 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:55.440 CP just did TP thing, sure, right, But you start 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:57.040 thinking about some of these other teams and some of 0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:59.480 the other personnel that these teams have. All I saw 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:02.280 on that play, Reggie Bush. I saw the Reggie Bush 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:03.640 play when he's playing for the Saints. He got his 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:07.320 whole got decapitated right, folded in a half those type 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:10.240 of plays can happen. I'm not gonna say, well, happen, 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:13.920 they can happen, and those are game changing plays because 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:16.080 you're just saying, oh, my guy can do this, or 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:17.920 oh I don't have to focus on the details of 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:21.040 this particular play, or my mechanics got to tighten it up. Yeah, 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:24.640 I agree. Again, we are all in agreeing Dak Prescott 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:27.640 had a bad game. Yes, I would say the good 0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:30.280 news is it's a week to week league. So last 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:32.360 week they blow the doors off the coach. This week 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.520 play barely escape the upset over the Texans. And now 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:38.160 you moved to Jacksonville now and we'll preview Jacksonville later 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:40.080 in the week. But Jacksonville is better than the Texans, 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:42.480 so you better clean up actually one of the hotter 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:44.360 teams in the NFL, and you better clean up what 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:46.040 you need to clean up this week going, you know, 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:48.480 as you prepare for the Jacksonville Jaguars. But you know, 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:52.000 again it's it's another bad I say another bad because 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:55.240 for me, I still harken back to week one. Week 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:58.520 one was just abysmal. And again, and I've said it before, 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:01.360 Week one to me was the worst outing in Dak 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:03.760 Prescott's career. So was this as bad as that. No, 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:05.919 But it doesn't mean that it wasn't bad. I mean, 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:09.760 this was still a struggle game for Dak that was 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:13.200 able to be deleted by Dak thankfully once he got 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:15.680 the protection on the right side, and then the confidence 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:18.159 in the clutch meter kind of just went through the 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:20.720 roof and march those boys down ninety year yards. But 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:23.879 prior to that happening, you have flashes. You saw the 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:26.680 fifty plus yarder to Noah Brown and you know, made 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:29.560 some big plays and get big catches by Ceedee Lamb, 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:34.800 and but more often than not, you found yourself asking 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:37.880 yourself during the game, what's going on with this Cowboys 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:40.080 passing attack. This isn't the same one we saw against 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:41.680 the Coast, This isn't the same one that we saw 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:44.359 against the Vikings, etcetera, etcetera. So that tells you that 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:47.879 they can do better. Just do it, Yeah, a consistent basis, 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:51.159 because if if this isn't the Texans and you have 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:53.040 this out and you lose this game. There were a 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:56.080 lot of struggles up front too for the Cowboys offensive line, 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:58.640 and it wasn't just the right side with Josh Ball 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:01.200 Tyler Smith didn't have a good game. Connor McGovern didn't 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:04.440 have a good game. Uh, Tyler Biadash was decent. And 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:09.280 then Zack Martin, Zach Martin, he's perfect it certainly and 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:14.959 it absolutely did Josh Ball struggled now struggled bold statement 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:18.159 here he wasn't he was serviceable in the first two 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:21.080 drafts that he was in serviceable, but then it just 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:23.800 fell off wheels fell off complete and it was not good. 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:26.640 But we'll talk more about the offensive line a little 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:28.159 bit later on. I want to switch the focus to 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:32.320 the defense. Just how Houston didn't disguise coverages, something that 0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:35.640 kind of helps keep things off balance for the Cowboys 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:38.000 offense early. They made another change in the fourth quarter 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:41.440 that just leaves me mind boggle. Now I bring that 0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:43.680 up in a moment that might have helped Dallas win 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:45.639 the ball game. We'll be right back with more talking 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:50.040 Cowboys right after this.
