And while there are plenty of question 8 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: marks throughout the first three weeks of the season for 9 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, I know one thing is certain. There's 10 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: never a dull day as a part of this franchise 11 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: in covering this team, because they can't just get blown out. 12 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: They can't just win and take care of the right 13 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: things on a daily basis. They can't just do things 14 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: to where it's easy for Cowboys fans. They've got to 15 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: make it tough. They've got to make it controversial. And 16 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,919 Speaker 1: it's for the third straight week to start the twenty 17 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: twenty season, a one score game and a one score result. 18 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: We're gonna break it down, We're gonna talk about it here. 19 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: I'm Talking Cowboys. Glad you're with us. I'm Kyle Yeoman's 20 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,119 Speaker 1: alongside Isaiah Standback our residence, super Bowl champion, in former 21 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboy, Rob Phillips, our Cowboys insider, and the great 22 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: heck Ma Harrison joining you as always, and guys, there 23 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: are so many things we can impact right here once again, 24 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: a laundry list of worth of issues, worth of problems, 25 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: however you want to say it, even positive some that 26 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: emerged out of that Alden Smith that we could talk about. 27 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: But other than that, where do we start Whenever it 28 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: comes to the Dallas Cowboys loss last night against the 29 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks on the road, Rob, really, what did you 30 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: see in terms of your general thoughts and how do 31 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: we start breaking this thing down? Man? It's one of 32 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: the weirder two weeks stretch as I've seen with the Cowboys, 33 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: with two of those games that were just strange, and 34 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: the way I look at the game yesterday, it kind 35 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: of evens out. This league always kind of evens out. 36 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: They won a game a week ago they should not 37 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: have run. They spotted too many points to Atlanta, found 38 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: a way to win that game and lost this one 39 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: for a lot of the same reasons that they fell 40 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: behind a week earlier. Way too many mistakes and while 41 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: you can say it evens out, it's still alarming because 42 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: they're not doing the winning things you need to do 43 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: to take care of business. And it's it's really at 44 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: all three levels of the of the team, offense, defense, 45 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: special teams, and you know they've got to get it fixed. 46 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: This is you know, they're they're entering a stretch here 47 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: where you might think it's an easy stretch, it's not. 48 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: If they if they don't take care of business and 49 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: and eliminate some of the sloppy things that we're gonna 50 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: get into a lot of that, they're gonna have trouble 51 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: against Cleveland on Sunday at home. That's that's that's just 52 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: a fact. They did too many things to beat themselves 53 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: in this game. Yeah, definitely, the the self inflicted wounds. 54 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: It's troubling to see when we do, you know, do 55 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: something good, get a sack and it's negated by pass 56 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: interference or some type of penalty, and special teams, man, 57 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: special teams. The just point after attempts are it's becoming 58 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: an event and I don't think anyone is comfortable with that. 59 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: And it's so crazy how one week can change things. 60 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,959 Speaker 1: Where we were just talking about how great our special 61 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: teams is until this week, man, I think we really 62 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: got we still have question marks there, but defensively the secondary, 63 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: how do we get that fixed? Because we're, like you said, Rob, 64 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: we're getting to a point of the season where every 65 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: week we're gonna start to see some pretty pretty good receivers. 66 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: So mans, so many things that we have to go 67 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: over today, But the past interferences and special teams, man, 68 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: big big question mark for me, you know, to kind 69 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: of double back on what you just said, heck, you know. 70 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: And Dallas Cowboys are the second week in a row 71 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: have plexico bearers themselves. Okay, they have shot themselves in 72 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: the laya. These I mean, every every facet of the 73 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 1: of the game. Special teams, offense, defense, all played a 74 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: part in this lost yesterday, and we send it in 75 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,679 Speaker 1: the beginning the week. You cannot make mistakes against this team. 76 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: The Seattle Seahawks are too good of a team entirely 77 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: on all in all three facets really to make those 78 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: mistakes and expect to really come out of the victor. 79 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: So we got some work to do today, fellows. Let 80 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,799 Speaker 1: just go ahead and break it all down. Yeah, forty 81 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: five minutes is not enough in terms of the time 82 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: for us to really get through this all. Luckily, we 83 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: do have shows every day this week throughout leading you 84 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: into the Browns week, which, like Rob said, it's not 85 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: going to be any easy feat by any stretch of 86 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: the imagination. But guys, whenever you talk about the mistakes 87 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: that were made, I know early in the game we 88 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: saw Dak Prescott throw his first interception in two hundred 89 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: and sixty two or two hundred and ninety two rather 90 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: passing attempts. That's a Cowboys franchise record. So he's taken 91 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: care of the football for an extended period of time. 92 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: Now he's moved into the fact of he threw a 93 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: pick at the end of the second quarter. It allowed 94 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 1: Seattle to go down and score with seven seconds remaining 95 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 1: and take the lead heading into halftime. Then you come out, 96 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: have a chance to really set the tone in the 97 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: second half and really put on a very good show, 98 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: put on a very good drive at the end or 99 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: at the start of the third quarter, and set the tone. 100 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: You fumble it a little strip zack fumble that ends 101 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: up in another Seattle touchdown. It was a fifteen point swing, 102 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: fourteen point swing that turned you around and all of 103 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: a sudden put you down thirty to fifteen, and that's 104 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: where the Cowboys had to come back. How do you 105 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: take care of the football better in key situations? That's 106 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 1: what I think I'm most frustrated about guys. I mean, 107 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: I mean, he's got a professionals, right, I mean, these 108 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: guys are pros. I mean, I've been there before. You know, 109 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: mistakes happen, but they can't continue to happen, right, They 110 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: cannot continue to have been special teams. Dropping the ball 111 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: on a kickoff return on a perfectly kick kickoff return, 112 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: that's just not an option, you know, taking care of 113 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: the ball on offense. You know, we talked about this 114 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: statistics going into this where Dak had two in the 115 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 1: previous three I think appearances against Seattle, He's had two 116 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: touchdowns versus five interceptions. And you know, on the opposing side, 117 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson had five touchdowns and zero interceptions. That continued 118 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: on right, um, you know, you know he had another 119 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 1: three turnovers, another two interceptions in the fumble. So I mean, 120 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: these are things that you can't do and expect to 121 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: win the games. And obviously on the defensive side of 122 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: the ball, they had guys running around booty butt naked, 123 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 1: you know, and just like you just can't. You can't 124 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: do that and expect to win games. So these guys 125 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 1: have to take it upon themselves for it to be 126 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: important enough for them to actually, you know, cancel out 127 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: these mental errors, canceled out these these mistakes that they're 128 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: making and go out there and make the corrections needed 129 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 1: to win games. Hey, Isaiah, quick question, man on that 130 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: route from a Mark Cooper, the turnover and the interception 131 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: by Dak on that route and he's thrown in between 132 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: the hash and the numbers to a Mark Cooper, was 133 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: it more of the route that caused the interception of 134 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: was it just a throw that was behind that that 135 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: Dak through? You know what, I have to understand a 136 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: little bit more about the techniques that are being taught 137 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: on their on their on that side of the ball 138 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: for them. But you know, from my stance, it looked 139 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: like he was just a bad ball by Dak. It 140 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: was just actually, I wouldn't want to say it was 141 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: a bad ball. It was just a heck of a 142 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: play by play by Griffin that's called how it is. 143 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, this is a great play by Griffin. 144 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: I don't think Dak nor Cooper were in the wrong 145 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: again without knowing what's being how they're being taught to 146 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: run that route specifically. But I do know that watching 147 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: that play, Griffin made a heck of a break on 148 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: the ball and he snacked that thing out the air. 149 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: He's definitely been on the judge machine. Yeah, he shot 150 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: underneath it and he read it perfectly. But I thought 151 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,679 Speaker 1: that a Mark Cooper could have given Dak a little 152 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: bit more of a target on that the way that 153 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: he ran the route, I mean just from the beginning 154 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: to the end, so either way, I mean the turnovers 155 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: or what you have to look at that had the 156 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: pendulum swing, especially in the second quarter where it looked 157 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: like we got the stops that we needed. Right defensively, 158 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: I know we're gonna kill these guys as far as 159 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: some of the you know, sacks, turnovers, things that we're 160 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: looking for, but defensively that from the first quarter up 161 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: until that point, you know, look, aside from the sixty 162 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: two yard bomb to Metcalf that wasn't right. There were 163 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: just a lot of things defensively that I felt good about. 164 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: As far as getting Russell Wilson off of his square 165 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: and getting him out to make those throws. But look, 166 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: you said it best man. The momentum swing at the 167 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: end of the second quarter, in the beginning of the 168 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: third quarter, I think was just we put so much 169 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,599 Speaker 1: against ourselves that it almost looked as though it was 170 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: gonna be insurmountable. But still we gave ourselves an opportunity 171 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: to win the game. The game had so many ebbs 172 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: and flows because after those two turnovers, Mike McCarthy says, 173 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: all right, I'm changing out my offensive line, Like I 174 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,559 Speaker 1: don't I don't want to typically change out more than 175 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: one spot. Well I'm gonna go ahead and change three 176 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: spots out and I put Zack Martin at tackle and 177 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: it actually it actually worked. I thought they settled down 178 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: and protected better until that last drive. Yeah, you know, 179 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: Dak he said he threw a bad ball there. He 180 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: threw it behind Himari and he kind of got away 181 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: with one I think on the first drive where he 182 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: threw into coverage and it could have been picked. But 183 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: I you know, I have a hard time. I just 184 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: have a hard time putting too much of this loss 185 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: on him, I know, beyond beyond just the stats. I mean, 186 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: I think I think once again, you know, we see 187 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,319 Speaker 1: what this offense is capable of in the passing game, 188 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: and Troikman kept talking about on the broadcast over and over, 189 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: you give it time they can get back in this game. 190 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: Because the Seahawks so depleted in the secondary, the matchups 191 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: were there, and you know, I think for part of 192 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: that reason, we didn't see a lot of Zeke just 193 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 1: because that wasn't where the the advantage was, and they 194 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: were able to get some things going there. Like Heckma said, 195 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: though defensively, while they settled down in the second half, 196 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: I think they get up one hundred and forty four yards. 197 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: There's just too many miscommunications back there. And I'm not 198 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: sure if it's if it's there's too much on everybody's plate, 199 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: like we talked about it at the end of the week, 200 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if it's that um, but 201 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: there's got to be something to it. Because whenever there's 202 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: miscommunications like Lockett running free, uh, like like the other 203 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: touchdown where he goes across the field and Digs just 204 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 1: kind of lets him go. Uh, they've got to get 205 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: that cleaned up. And they did a better job of 206 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 1: it because you saw some coverage pressure against Wilson in 207 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: the second half, but it wasn't consistent enough. And that's 208 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: kind of been the story of the season. They haven't 209 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: been consistent enough in any area where you feel good about, Okay, 210 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: they've got this short up. Yeah, Rob, you've been so 211 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,719 Speaker 1: gracious man, And I appreciate that. Rob us in the secondary, 212 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: like like I said, I said, these guys are running 213 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: butt naked free and whose man? Whose man is that right? 214 00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: How do ye man is that man? Going off of 215 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: what Rob said and the way that he was talking 216 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: about really how the turnovers affected the game and the 217 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: defense just had those miscommunications and it really seemed like 218 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,199 Speaker 1: it got better as the game went along, but especially 219 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: in that first quarter, second quarter, you could tell Seattle 220 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: like Atlanta did, saw something on film and it turned 221 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: in from it turned from week two, the word of 222 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: the day was resiliency. Now it's consistency. You can't keep 223 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: that consensus. The consistency from the Cowboys perspective has to 224 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: start in the first quarter. You can't wait till the 225 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 1: third quarter to get started again. It's the third straight 226 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: slow start you've had. You had it against La you 227 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: had it against Atlanta, you had it now against the Seattle. 228 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,839 Speaker 1: You can't wait until halftime to finally figure out your 229 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,319 Speaker 1: offense and figure out your defense to the point where 230 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: you're able to put points on your opponent. And hecklo, 231 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: I don't know where to start whenever it comes to 232 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,079 Speaker 1: getting off to a better start. But really they haven't 233 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: been able to do it yet. But it's got to 234 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 1: go back to the secondary though. For me, that's that's 235 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: that's where they had the biggest problems. If you know, 236 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: if DK Metcalf doesn't pull a Don Beebe in the 237 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: super Bowl, it's six touchdown passes for Russell Wilson. I mean, 238 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: it's it's you know, I agree, I agree with you, 239 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: and I disagree with you. The secondary definitely has some issues. However, 240 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: Schottenheimer must have been on the payroll for the Cowboys 241 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: yesterday because he abandoned the run early on and Seattle 242 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: was almost averaging five yards of pop with Carson and 243 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,839 Speaker 1: High and for some reason he got away from NAT 244 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 1: to start throwing the ball around almost every dayn seemingly 245 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: so that it definitely exposed the receiver, exposed the secondary 246 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: because they Seattle was throwing so often, but they never 247 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: stopped the run there was There was never a portion 248 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: of the game where you feel like Seattle couldn't run 249 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: the ball. And that's something that obviously, going into this 250 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: next week they have to address. It's gonna be something 251 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: that's really big for the Cowboys moving forward. But something 252 00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: else that I kind of wanted to point out if 253 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: we wanted to look at a positive side of things, 254 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: And Rob alluded to this a little bit earlier, but 255 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,559 Speaker 1: the way that the offensive line was able to kind 256 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: of shift around and find a rhythm in terms of 257 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 1: really taking care of the football or I guess blocking well, 258 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: with the injuries that they have on that offensive front, 259 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: they were able to do that later in the game 260 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: whenever they moved Zack Martin out to tackle, then you 261 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: had Joe Looney go to the right guard spot. Tyler 262 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: Beotest came in and actually called the protections for the 263 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: offensive line, and I thought did a pretty solid job overall. 264 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: What did you guys think of the shift on the 265 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: offensive line and how that could potentially play a role 266 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: for this offense moving forward. Guys, well, I got it 267 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,839 Speaker 1: was Rob's tweet who and Rob tweeted that Zach Martin 268 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: was at tackle and I looked at this. I've noticed 269 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 1: it on the screen and I'm like, oh my god, 270 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: what happened? Why is Zack Martin at tackle? But it worked? 271 00:13:55,160 --> 00:14:00,199 Speaker 1: It worked in miss what cools to beati. I'm need 272 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: to say that the Beotish era has started here in 273 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: Dallas because he's second half wise, he did a really 274 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: good job. Dave Hellman can vouch for me. I tweeted 275 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: or texted him the other week. This is that's the 276 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: offensive line they need to have in the game, you know. 277 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: And because and it's and you're switching out too many positions, 278 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: then you probably want to. But if you're trying to 279 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: get your best five healthy guys on the field, that's it. 280 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: You know, Brandon Knight's probably your best backup tackle option, 281 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: like pure tackle, even though maybe he can play guard 282 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: two and Martin can play anywhere. I know we've been 283 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: talking about it for six years. Maybe he could do this, 284 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: maybe he could do that. But when you're in a 285 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: situation where you know Terrence Steele has battled, but there's 286 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: some tough matchups for him. Uh, you can move Joe 287 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: Looney to tackle he's or to guard. Excuse me, he's 288 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: done that before. And they like Beotist. I mean, they 289 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: think he's he's got potential and that just seemed like 290 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: the best way to try to settle things down a 291 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: little bit. And it's it seemed to work. But all 292 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: that said, it's still a problem because you're still you know, 293 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: you've still got young players up front, and you know, 294 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: the communications probably got to get cleaned up too, because 295 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: you know, guys are playing out of position, bottom line, 296 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: playing out of positions for this past week. Obviously, I 297 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: think go for it, Isaiah Great. Okay, Now, I was 298 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: just gonna say that, you know, you know, kudos to 299 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: coach Philbin and coach McCarthy for making that call. Um. 300 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: It was it was a very ballsy move and they 301 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: paid off for them. I think obviously it did. It 302 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: didn't happen early enough, but those guys did the heck 303 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: of a job going out there and playing the positions 304 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: that they were asked to play, and they and they 305 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: started protecting Dak for the most part. Um, I think 306 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: that the office of line rolls kind of start going 307 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: away after this week, right. Obviously, hopefully we get tyres 308 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: Smith back, you get you get Collins back. Um, the 309 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: question remains, now, does Looney move over to guard or 310 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: does he just not play because you got Connor Williams 311 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: over there and then a bride beyond is do you 312 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: let be honest, go ahead and take the center or 313 00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: do you put Looney in? So that's gonna be a 314 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: question to this next week that I'm very curious to 315 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: see what happens going off of that, though, Isaiah, and 316 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: you're talking about this offensive line. We're going into week four, 317 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: which means Lyle Collins should be available at some point 318 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: this week. Hopefully Tyrant Smith who was out on the field, 319 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: who was getting in reps trying to see if he 320 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: was good to go. They were just making it a 321 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: game time decision where he was not able to go. 322 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: But if for some reason both of those guys are back, 323 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: is there a chance that Connor Williams, who has been struggling, 324 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: who has seen really I'm actually not even going to 325 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: sugarcoat this. Whenever you get bullied by Puna Ford and LJ. Collier, 326 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: I'm going to be disappointed in Connor Williams. And he 327 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: was for the first couple drives of the game, especially 328 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: he was getting bullied by Ford and Collier and exactly 329 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: and throughout the rest of the game as well. He struggled. 330 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: He has continued to struggle. Is there a chance that 331 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: Joe Looney fills that spot, comes in at left guard? 332 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: Whenever you get everybody back and healthy, Kyle, I think 333 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: you have to go to that. I think you have 334 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: to because you have enough tape out there to show 335 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 1: you that Connor Williams is struggling, even when they had 336 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 1: just three guys coming. That created the strack, the sack strip, 337 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,679 Speaker 1: and that was from Connor's side, So we have to 338 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 1: address it. And I was thinking that going into this 339 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: game that we definitely were going to get a heavy 340 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 1: dose of Zeke simply because we had to undrafted free 341 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,919 Speaker 1: agents at the at the tackle position. How what a 342 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: better way to get these guys in rhythm and to 343 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: have them fired off the ball. But we you know, 344 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: they were basically in pass protection literally the whole game. 345 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: If if Dak is throwing the ball for fifty seven 346 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: fifty seven attempts, I didn't know we had an air 347 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 1: raid offense, but that's what we look like yesterday. Mike Hey, 348 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: I think if my math is right, is that one 349 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: hundred and ten passes over the last two weeks. That's 350 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 1: a lot. That's a that is a lot, I mean, 351 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: maybe too much for Dak Again, kudos, he had full 352 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 1: fifty last week, four seventy two this week. If you're 353 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 1: just into the statistics of football and not winning, then 354 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: he's balling. Yeah, he is balling. But once again, statistics 355 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: don't matter. They really don't, and we saw that yesterday. 356 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: Alden Smith was visibly disappointed after the game. He had 357 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: three sacks, four pressures, four hits, He was all over 358 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 1: the place, and he was visibly frustrated with the fact 359 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 1: that there wasn't a W in the win column yesterday. 360 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: So I think really overall, stats of course don't matter. 361 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: They're great because you can evaluate guys that way, but 362 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: you need to win, and yesterday was one of those 363 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 1: games where you just didn't make the right plays in 364 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: key moments in Seattle did That's the difference in the game. 365 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 1: And that's the difference between a great football team and 366 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: an average football team. And right now, that's what the 367 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,360 Speaker 1: Cowboys look like. When we come back here on Talking Cowboys, 368 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 1: We've got some business to take care of in terms 369 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 1: of a bet that I made with Isaiah on Friday.

Didn't get it. Thirty eight thirty one the 415 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 1: final score up at Central Linkfield. Glad you're with us 416 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 1: here on Talking Cowboys as when we break things down. 417 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: But before we get into this secondary, like I said, 418 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: I have some I have some business to attend to, 419 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 1: and I feel, you know, I'm actually excited for those 420 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: who are listening to this podcast instead of watching it 421 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: because this legitimately makes me makes my blood boil having 422 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: to do this. But I made a bet with Isaiah 423 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: last week that Ezekiel what was that this is easier 424 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: than running to the Star and back is back. I 425 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: would rather run to the Star and back, which is 426 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: wow way the other the other bet that I've made, 427 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,719 Speaker 1: I need to stop opening my mouth on bets on 428 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: air or on Twitter because I keep losing them. Now. 429 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 1: The last time I ended up getting ceedee Lamb for 430 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. I won't say it's me, but it helped, 431 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: I guess uh, and a lot of people enjoyed things. 432 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: But I made a bet that Ezekiel Elliott would have 433 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 1: a hundred rushing yards or one hundred and fifty all 434 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: purpose yards in this game, and obviously he did not 435 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: thirty four yards on the ground twenty four yards through 436 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: the air. And if I were to win that bet, 437 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,159 Speaker 1: Isaiah would have to wear a shirt of my choice, 438 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: which I revealed to him yesterday as a Washington State 439 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: Cougar's T shirt because he went to the University of Washington. 440 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 1: Oh no, that's a low blow. It was a low blow, 441 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: but it ended up working out for him because if 442 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: I lost the bet, which is what happens, I would 443 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: have to wear this jersey, which is an Isaiah standback, 444 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,679 Speaker 1: not replica. This is a game warned jersey from his 445 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: time with the Seattle Seahawks. Uh. And I will wear 446 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,400 Speaker 1: this for the remainder of the segment because Ezekiel Elliott 447 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: did let me down. But while we're on that topic, 448 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 1: in terms of Ezekiel Elliott letting us down, I kind 449 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: of want to go into the fact of what happened 450 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: to him in the passing game, Isaiah, because really we 451 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: talked about it a minute ago. He wasn't able to 452 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: get going on the ground, but whenever he was through 453 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 1: the air and they tried to get him involved through 454 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 1: the air, he had six receptions on twelve targets and 455 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: a couple drops in there as well. Yeah, and I 456 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: appreciate you being a man at your word. After today, 457 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:52,199 Speaker 1: I'll swap you out for this one stand back. That 458 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 1: one's a lot prettier. I'll wear that one all day. Yeah, 459 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: I got you covered. Don't worry about it. Um No, 460 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: but no, I mean they first of all, Zeke should 461 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: not be getting twelve attempts, but the twelve passes should 462 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,959 Speaker 1: not becoming Zeke's way. Let's just start with that, right, Um. 463 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: I think the only reason why you ended up in 464 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: that situation because Tony Pollard you lost trust in him, 465 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: right coming from last week and then coming into this 466 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: week where he dropped the kickoff return. That's your third 467 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: down back. That's the guy that you want receiving the 468 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,640 Speaker 1: ball and catching these screens and things of that nature, 469 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 1: these swing routes and one on ones with linebackers. Um. 470 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 1: So he got. Zeke ended up being in that situation 471 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: that he didn't want to be in, and we saw 472 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 1: that obviously he just didn't He didn't do enough this offseason. 473 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: Um does offense was not set up properly against this 474 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: particular defense to be successful with with that, with that 475 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: type of approach. Um, you saw towards the end of 476 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 1: the game, you saw the other Griffin brother running around. 477 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: He covered the sideline and sideline. He was running around 478 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 1: like a like a man with his hair on fire. 479 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: Um you had kJ Wright running all over the place. 480 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: And it's just it just wasn't a good week to 481 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 1: try to try to throw the ball to Zeke. T 482 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: I can barely breathe him. This thing, I say, you 483 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: can't say nothing with your chance in that This thing is, 484 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: this thing is like suffocating. Oh my god, you uh. 485 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,160 Speaker 1: I feel I feel like I need to like work 486 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: out a little bit more in that thing. This thing 487 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 1: is tights in Franz in the house on the back too. 488 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,360 Speaker 1: M about the name on the back of the jersey 489 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: way more than Isaiah to to to just go into 490 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: what you said about Zeke, It's been it's always been 491 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 1: my opinion of Zeke that he is great at at 492 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: catching you know, out of the backfield. He's done a 493 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 1: really good job over it over his four year career. 494 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: Uh to this point, it was just yesterday he looked 495 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: out of sorts for some reason. I hadn't seen him 496 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: look that bad. And and a lot of times with 497 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,679 Speaker 1: the twelve targets, Uh, there were balls that may have 498 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: been thrown behind him. He still has to make that 499 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: catch and get up the field. But if you go 500 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: back and look at it, Isaiah, there were points, there 501 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: were times that he had some daylight. It may have 502 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 1: been a bad pass or he just didn't get you know, 503 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 1: didn't track it well enough. But I don't think that 504 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: to go forward, we are going to start looking at 505 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: Zeke's weakness is being catching passes out of the backfield 506 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: when that's been one of his strong suits out over 507 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 1: the years. And I don't I agree with you. I 508 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,440 Speaker 1: don't think that that's a weakness of his. But it's 509 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: not what you want him doing right there. Should know, 510 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: there should be no game in Cowboys history or Cowboy's 511 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,880 Speaker 1: future where he almost has as many passes to pass 512 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 1: recession attempts as he does rushing attempts. That's just that 513 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: should not even be in the same conversation, right, he 514 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: had twelve twelve and tip passes versus fourteen rushes like correct, 515 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: So that's that's something that should not happen. But in 516 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: there when Zeke is successful catching the bass because he 517 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,679 Speaker 1: has been successful running the ball, so they never got 518 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 1: that going. So you can't just all of a sudden 519 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 1: abandon the run and go straight to passing him. Yeah. 520 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 1: I wonder if it's some of that where he wasn't 521 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: in a rhythm period in the game, and that because 522 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: he had what two or three drops, and I mentioned 523 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: the screens, and the screens just weren't I don't think 524 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: they were dialed up at the right time anyway. But 525 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 1: all we heard this offseason was I mean, I felt 526 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: like he was gonna have a hundred catches instead of 527 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 1: one hundred, you know, three hundred carries in this in 528 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 1: this season because all we heard is he's running receiver 529 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: routes in the off season. I agree with you, guys, 530 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,399 Speaker 1: I think he's still a threat there. Um. I just 531 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: think they went where they thought the matchups were. You know, 532 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: they thought they could win on the outside, and that's 533 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 1: they just kept doing it. And as you guys said, 534 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,120 Speaker 1: by the time they got to the second half, those 535 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: two turnovers. Now you're behind. Now you have to throw 536 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: and that's how you get that's how you get sixty 537 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: pass attempts. And it's it's way too much. I mean, 538 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,399 Speaker 1: you know, if you feel like you can win and 539 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 1: you want to go pass heavy, okay, if it's in 540 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 1: the forties, fine against a depleted Seattle secondary, But fifty 541 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: seven that that's a bad recipe because you're also putting 542 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,119 Speaker 1: your you're putting so much train on your offensive line 543 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: to in pass pro over and over and over again, 544 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: and it ultimately it didn't work out. At the end, 545 00:27:58,560 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: you give up a sack and then you got to 546 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 1: to the end zone. And another part to that that 547 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: most people probably aren't thinking about is the time management 548 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: side of the game. I think it was poorly managed 549 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 1: by both of as the coordinators. Shottenheiderd He did a 550 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 1: terrible job really contain again and really making sure that 551 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: they ran the ball and control the clock so that 552 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: Dallas didn't have those opportunities. And then on the flip side, 553 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: Dallas through the ball so much that as they started 554 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: creeping back up in the game right towards the end. 555 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: You talk about that last series, Why are we Why 556 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 1: are we throwing the ball towards the sideline. Why are 557 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 1: these guys getting swing rids? Why are they getting flats 558 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: towards the side on where they have to run out 559 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: of bounds. You want to give that situation. You're either 560 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: going to be up by one or up by five. 561 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: Either way, either way, you don't you want to give 562 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson the least amount of time as possible. So 563 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: mix in some dog on runs, dude, keep it in 564 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: the middle of the field. Those guys are gonna be 565 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: protecting that. So I mean, I just, I mean, there's 566 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: a lot, there's a lot there, a lot of meat 567 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 1: on the bone where we have to get better. You 568 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: have to get better and really have to get better 569 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: in the secondary as well on the other side of 570 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: the football. And we'll take a break here in just 571 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: a minute. But and that's when we'll address it. I 572 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: know it t at the last segment. We're gonna save 573 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: it for the last one, just to make sure we 574 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: get every piece of that as well. But whenever you're 575 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: looking at the offensive play calling, and I know I 576 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 1: mentioned this yesterday on the postgame show, but it's really 577 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: a simple, it's an easy, a lazy excuse to blame 578 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: the play calling. What did you guys think about what 579 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: Kellen Moore had to do? Don't don't go to the 580 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: one shot on this thing. Don't you go to that 581 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: one shot, Chris, I don't want to need to be 582 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 1: taking up the full screen whenever it talking about the 583 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 1: Kellen Moore play calling and the offensive play calling, trying 584 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: to get Zeke involved, but ultimately it was the fifty 585 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: seven pass attempts. Where did things go wrong on Kellen 586 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: Moore's side and what he could improve going into the Browns. 587 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: Weeke look, I mean when you throw the ball fifty 588 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: seven times anyone that you don't even have to be 589 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: a football person to say that's that's way too many 590 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 1: throws and just looking at the numbers, and you didn't 591 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: win the game just to getting that balance. And I 592 00:29:58,280 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: know there's going to be a lot of people call 593 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 1: for Mike McCarthy to take over play calling, and that's 594 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: that's been the going theme now for a couple of weeks, 595 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 1: just trying to figure out what this offensive identity is 596 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: going to be because obviously we're not a run first 597 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 1: team and We are obviously a pass first team, and 598 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 1: for a good reason, because we have three guys out 599 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: there that we believe in can stretch the field. But 600 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: at some point, because of the guy that we have 601 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: running the rock, we're going to have to get him 602 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: involved in this game. Whether it was adjustments at halftime 603 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: or something that Kellen Moore saw prior to this game. 604 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: As far as throwing the ball to Zeke twelve times, 605 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,239 Speaker 1: I don't know. But at the same time, as far 606 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: as the play calling is concerned, we have just we 607 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: just have to put Dak in a position to where 608 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: he can lead this team to these first downs. We 609 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: didn't have enough of those possession receptions to you know, 610 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: change the field position, give ourselves an opportunity to be 611 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: a part ahead of the pitch count. It just got 612 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: away from us too soon where it seemed like every 613 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 1: down was a second and a third and third and long. 614 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: We just didn't have any advantages as it related to 615 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: down and distance. And we talked about that in the 616 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 1: beginning of the week, right, Hey, and we talked about 617 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: the fact that you know that Moore was gonna have 618 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: to try to stay away from the candy, right you guys, 619 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: mayber Ill talking about the dangling candy right in the lineups, right, 620 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: how you had these guys that are gonna be one 621 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: on one matchups that then they should have a field 622 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: day against in Seattle Secondary. And they did, right, they did. 623 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,479 Speaker 1: They ate up Trade Flowers, that ate up Griffin. They 624 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,479 Speaker 1: did a heck of a job. You had Wilson show up, 625 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: Noah Brown showed up once again. So you had five 626 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 1: dudes out there with the ever ball in instead of 627 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 1: just the three, and even shots got off a little 628 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 1: bit our kJ right too, right, So you you had 629 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: to you had that at your at your at your 630 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 1: at your at your pleasure. However, you still had to 631 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 1: try to get the running game going and you had 632 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 1: to give it enough chance, right, enough opportunities to establish 633 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 1: that because that helps your quarterback. Yes, you're having a 634 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: bunch of receivers out there, Yes you have great matchups, 635 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: but you have to find a balance. Even if it 636 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 1: was seventy thirty balance, right, even it doesn't have to 637 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,719 Speaker 1: be fifty fifty. If seventy thirties your balance, fine, that's 638 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,959 Speaker 1: your balance. But it's fifty seven throws to fourteen rushes 639 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: for for for zeke, Come on, man, I'm as big 640 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: a fan as Zeke as anybody just what he brings 641 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: to the entire offense in a lot of different ways. 642 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 1: But I need to watch the game back. I didn't 643 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 1: have a huge problem with what they did. I'm with you. 644 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: I think they need more balance. You've got to be 645 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: better than fifty seven pass attempts. But you know, five 646 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: hundred twenty two yards thirty one points, it ought to 647 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: be enough to win the game. And that's with turnovers. 648 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: That's with probably you're basically losing the turnover battle for 649 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: one if you count the safety there too that they 650 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 1: gave up, and yet you still put up thirty one. 651 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 1: That's got to be enough, you know, And maybe that 652 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 1: leads into the next segment because defensively, you know, it's 653 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 1: just not consistent enough throughout the game to get you 654 00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 1: in position where your offense is doing enough to win 655 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 1: the football game. Yeah, I think that's a great way 656 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: to transition into it, because also the offense really put 657 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 1: the defense in a couple of tough situations, especially early 658 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 1: in the game and throughout the second quarter, third quarter. 659 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: I hate how you keep going to this one shot 660 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: at me, but we're gonna take a break when we 661 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 1: come back.

I came at him 713 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 1: and I was wrong, and it's paying off for him. 714 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:33,279 Speaker 1: It's somebody said I have a Somebody said I have 715 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 1: a retired punter's body, uh in the comment section, And 716 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,359 Speaker 1: I take that as a compliment because I mean, Pat 717 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,040 Speaker 1: McAfee looks pretty good right now and he's making some money, 718 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,440 Speaker 1: so I'll take that. If if that's what it takes, 719 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,360 Speaker 1: I'm cool with it. I said, I looked like I 720 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,440 Speaker 1: was gonna say, McBriar man, Oh, no, one of one 721 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 1: of my favorite guys all time. Oh, I love that. 722 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,759 Speaker 1: I love Matt. Would he would agree with that, he 723 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 1: would have. That's probably true. I was a quaid to 724 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,839 Speaker 1: like a like a tight end, and I'm talking tight 725 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 1: end because this jersey is so tight, like it's cutting 726 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:12,239 Speaker 1: off my circulation. Jankowski. Yeah, there you go. Janikowski's a 727 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:16,759 Speaker 1: bad oh man. But hopefully we can give you guys 728 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,120 Speaker 1: a couple of couple laughs on a day where it 729 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 1: is frustrating to be a Cowboys fan as they fall 730 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 1: to the Seahawks yesterday thirty eight thirty one. I don't know. 731 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 1: You guys might have to get pliers and scissors to 732 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:31,160 Speaker 1: get this thing off of me. We'll see. But whenever 733 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,439 Speaker 1: we looked at yesterday's game, the first thing that stuck 734 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: out with was the secondary. And Isaiah broke it down 735 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,239 Speaker 1: yesterday really well on the postgame show. But I wanted 736 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,840 Speaker 1: you to do it again here, Isaiah, what exactly happened 737 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,839 Speaker 1: on that first Tyler Lockett touchdown where he was wide open? 738 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:52,440 Speaker 1: What was the term you guys used earlier? What was that? There? 739 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,240 Speaker 1: You go? He was that in the end zone because 740 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 1: of a missmimmunication. But what exactly happened on that play, 741 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:04,920 Speaker 1: and it really happened throughout the game. Yeah, So in 742 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,600 Speaker 1: that particular play, actually, even prior to that, right, even 743 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:12,080 Speaker 1: last game against against the Falcons, Dallas exposed themselves that 744 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 1: they are susceptible. They're susceptible to over routes, deep over routes, 745 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 1: deep post routes, any routes that are crossing the safety's face. 746 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 1: They are struggling with that. So what happened on that 747 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 1: play is you had a Cover two right, So Cover two, 748 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,759 Speaker 1: you had two safeties that are sitting back there. You 749 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,879 Speaker 1: had Woods and you have Thompson Right. Both of those 750 00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 1: guys who are sitting back there, and when you're playing 751 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 1: Cover two, they each have a half, Right, they're responsible 752 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,800 Speaker 1: for a half of the field. Anything that comes in 753 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 1: in that deep secondary they're responsible for as long as 754 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 1: it's on their half of the field. So what you 755 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,160 Speaker 1: had was you had DK Metcalf who was on who's 756 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 1: on wood side? He was on he was on woodside, 757 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,440 Speaker 1: and he faith as he ran a post route and 758 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:48,439 Speaker 1: he acted as if he was going to run a post. 759 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,879 Speaker 1: All the way across wood space all the way over 760 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,320 Speaker 1: into Thompson's area, but he didn't run on all the 761 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 1: way over there. He broke off the post route. He 762 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:56,759 Speaker 1: put his foot in the ground, and he broke it 763 00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:01,400 Speaker 1: back towards the sideline. Meanwhile, Woods had locked in all 764 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,719 Speaker 1: the way on DK Metcalf. He wasn't worried about anything else. 765 00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,240 Speaker 1: And while he was so locked in, he had gradually 766 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 1: started working his way down from his secondary position, which 767 00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:13,000 Speaker 1: should have been about twenty yards deep. And then on 768 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 1: the other end you had Lockett, who was who was 769 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,520 Speaker 1: running a true over route and ended up crossing Thompson's 770 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,840 Speaker 1: face and getting behind Woods as he came into woods 771 00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 1: half of the field in which he should have been 772 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,360 Speaker 1: passed off. When guys are crossing the crowl they're supposed 773 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,920 Speaker 1: to pass it off. Hey, heck, this guy's coming into 774 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,600 Speaker 1: year zone. Hey, Rob, he's coming into year zone. And 775 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,400 Speaker 1: they did not make that communication. Woods got his eyes 776 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,360 Speaker 1: caught on DK Metcalf and Lockett crept behind him, and 777 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:41,239 Speaker 1: Thompson was expecting Woods to pick up that crosser. Yeah, 778 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,080 Speaker 1: they've been on a lot of routes yesterday and the 779 00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,279 Speaker 1: ball was just thrown right over their head and so 780 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,120 Speaker 1: you saw that it was it was easy work for 781 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,839 Speaker 1: Russell on that pass because as soon as he saw 782 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:53,960 Speaker 1: twenty five bite up. I mean it was it was 783 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,000 Speaker 1: a race to the pilm and I raced to the 784 00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,960 Speaker 1: polum to the goal post for Lockett and he made 785 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,960 Speaker 1: didn't look easy. And there were a lot of throws 786 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,040 Speaker 1: like that that looked easy. You talk about communication and 787 00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:09,320 Speaker 1: passing off. Just on that last the last touchdown for 788 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:13,359 Speaker 1: DK where Thompson had him and he knew he had 789 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,440 Speaker 1: deep responsibility and he comes right across his face to 790 00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,160 Speaker 1: that corner route and burns him for a touchdown. It's 791 00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,239 Speaker 1: just little things like that that we're doing in the 792 00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,520 Speaker 1: secondary that I don't know if going into the season 793 00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 1: we thought that these guys were going to make those plays, 794 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 1: and godly guys like Jordan Lewis that had a really 795 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,920 Speaker 1: rough day yesterday. It's just I mean, if you want 796 00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:36,719 Speaker 1: to pass the blame hat around, there's a lot of 797 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,719 Speaker 1: people that you could put that hat on. But those 798 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,320 Speaker 1: are just communication errors. Those are just when you especially 799 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:46,799 Speaker 1: when you see guys running booty buck naked and heck. 800 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,839 Speaker 1: And to add on to that, right, the thing that's 801 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,439 Speaker 1: more worrisome to me than just the communication areas, because 802 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 1: you can fix communication, right, you can fix communication, you 803 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 1: can watch film, you're gonna do walk throughs, you can 804 00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:58,719 Speaker 1: do all those things, and coaches will make those corrections. 805 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,200 Speaker 1: The thing that's worrisome to me is the route that 806 00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:06,160 Speaker 1: dk Metcalf ran in order to grab Cheetah's attention, not Cheatah, 807 00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:09,320 Speaker 1: but but Wood's attention. Was the fact that was not 808 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:11,680 Speaker 1: in the route treat That's something that you draw up 809 00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,279 Speaker 1: specifically because it's something that you saw on film and 810 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,080 Speaker 1: you know he has a tendency to keep the tip 811 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,120 Speaker 1: bite on things. They drew that play up just for that, 812 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 1: so it worked perfectly. And if they find any other 813 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 1: witnesses want us to this next week, they better if 814 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:25,960 Speaker 1: they better share those things up, because that means that 815 00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,160 Speaker 1: these guys can target them and get exactly what they 816 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,080 Speaker 1: want based upon the coverage. You know, even in the 817 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,480 Speaker 1: even in the Metcalf what should have been a touchdown 818 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,440 Speaker 1: and Diggs punched it out. That was some kind of 819 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 1: miscommunication too, because I don't think Diggs he wasn't playing 820 00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:39,880 Speaker 1: like he was in man coverage and it looked like 821 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,920 Speaker 1: Xavier should have been deeper or helping or something. And 822 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,440 Speaker 1: I don't Isaiah, is that like it's not a product 823 00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,239 Speaker 1: of the defense being not simplified enough, right, That's just 824 00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,120 Speaker 1: that's just that's that's the coverage, that's that's just being 825 00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,879 Speaker 1: a discipline. They found. Seattle saw that that Woods likes 826 00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,200 Speaker 1: to have his eyes in the backfield. That's it's just 827 00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,640 Speaker 1: pure facts. And you could do enough to kind of 828 00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 1: draw him down in there. That's why they ran stutter 829 00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,400 Speaker 1: a little stutter go on the outside and got they 830 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,040 Speaker 1: ran right by Digs obviously right in Woods was nowhere 831 00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,080 Speaker 1: near to help because his eyes were in the backfield. 832 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,080 Speaker 1: I mean, they were in the right defense on that play. 833 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,799 Speaker 1: And actually it happened into the third quarter same they 834 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,200 Speaker 1: were in the same go route basically, and and they 835 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 1: and the cowboy the communication was cleaned up and they 836 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,680 Speaker 1: stopped it. But it only takes a couple of plays 837 00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:27,279 Speaker 1: like that to lose a football game. I mean, it 838 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,920 Speaker 1: just you know, and and it happened, you know, the 839 00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,400 Speaker 1: crossing route you guys talked about also the two point conversion. 840 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:37,080 Speaker 1: Guys guys just running free and it's just it's it's 841 00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,840 Speaker 1: just a communication issue on top of you know, Lockett 842 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:41,759 Speaker 1: did the same. It was the same route to lock 843 00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:45,200 Speaker 1: it as well. I mean Hollister, the tight end. Hollister 844 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:48,600 Speaker 1: he burnt us twice on play action. So I don't know, 845 00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,279 Speaker 1: it's it's in the red zone. They make it look 846 00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,920 Speaker 1: so simple and you know, a crossing route right even 847 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,480 Speaker 1: to lock it in the in the red zone. So man, 848 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,759 Speaker 1: they were just having it that way yesterday. It's it's tendencies, guys, right, 849 00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,000 Speaker 1: So like we all have tendencies, even speaking on you know, 850 00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,600 Speaker 1: speaking on here, there's things that we do naturally that 851 00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 1: we have to identify and we have to try hard 852 00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,520 Speaker 1: to work ourselves out of whether it's saying whether it's 853 00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:13,759 Speaker 1: saying um or whatever it may be. Right, there's things 854 00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,160 Speaker 1: that we have to acknowledge, and in football is no different. 855 00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,399 Speaker 1: You might have a tendency to creep up right out 856 00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,279 Speaker 1: of your depth, right, you might have a tendency to 857 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,279 Speaker 1: go back on the kickoff return. There's things that your 858 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,400 Speaker 1: body naturally does, but you have to be able to 859 00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 1: identify them and make the corrections. Because the other teams 860 00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,839 Speaker 1: are professionals and they are paid to watch enough film 861 00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 1: to find your tendencies, and when they find them, they 862 00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:35,080 Speaker 1: are going to test you and expose them. My tendency 863 00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:39,239 Speaker 1: is to make stupid bets and get those things on there. 864 00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:43,160 Speaker 1: That Yeah, and I'm being exposed for it pretty much. 865 00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:47,000 Speaker 1: I mean, expose it a little bit more. But I mean, 866 00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,120 Speaker 1: whenever you look at some of the tendencies and some 867 00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:53,239 Speaker 1: of the miscommunications, this final question before we get out 868 00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,959 Speaker 1: of here. I know we're already running long, Chris, but really, 869 00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:59,800 Speaker 1: whenever it comes to Mike Nolan's defense, a lot of 870 00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,719 Speaker 1: the blame can go his direction on the fact there 871 00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,759 Speaker 1: is that miscommunication, Rob, I think even you mentioned it 872 00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:07,920 Speaker 1: in the first segment. Is it because there's too much 873 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,560 Speaker 1: on these guys plates? Is it because there's too much 874 00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,080 Speaker 1: to learn in such a short offseason. The fact that 875 00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 1: he didn't have those OTAs, he didn't have the full 876 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,680 Speaker 1: training camp, you didn't have the full preseason. Is that 877 00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:20,840 Speaker 1: catching up to the Cowboys now? And the fact that 878 00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:27,359 Speaker 1: there's just confusion in the backfield. I don't. I don't 879 00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,080 Speaker 1: know if it's a product of a scheme that's just 880 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,960 Speaker 1: way too complicated, though I don't. I don't see that 881 00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:34,680 Speaker 1: when I watch it. And I mean a lot of 882 00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:38,560 Speaker 1: what what you're talking about with disguising things pre snap 883 00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,400 Speaker 1: is with your front seven. Yeah, and you know, I 884 00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:44,120 Speaker 1: thought the front seven was pretty solid overall in this game. 885 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,320 Speaker 1: I mean, there's some things you definitely can nitpick. But 886 00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,120 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson looked out of sorts at times, yeah, and 887 00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,960 Speaker 1: and was missing open perceivers. And I think it was 888 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,600 Speaker 1: it was a product of not only not being comfortable where, 889 00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,400 Speaker 1: you know, in the pocket, but also they weren't a 890 00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,520 Speaker 1: lot of times, they weren't given him way to scramble. 891 00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,680 Speaker 1: They were being disciplined in their rushes. That part of it, Yeah, 892 00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:04,960 Speaker 1: I mean I think that part of it you you 893 00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,080 Speaker 1: definitely can build on. I don't really I know that's 894 00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:09,960 Speaker 1: a talking point, but I don't I don't see a 895 00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,480 Speaker 1: scheme that's just overly complicated right now. I don't know 896 00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:15,720 Speaker 1: about you guys. Know, these guys are facing some dudes 897 00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,840 Speaker 1: at receiver, and they're facing some really good offensive coordinators 898 00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:22,040 Speaker 1: that are exposing their weaknesses. That's simply put. There's there's 899 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,439 Speaker 1: no excuses that are made the schemes that these guys 900 00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,120 Speaker 1: are running. You guys, asked Kyle, I sat there and 901 00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,360 Speaker 1: watch it. I'll call out coverages before the balls he 902 00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:32,239 Speaker 1: gonna stamp. These are basic, basic coverages that these guys are, 903 00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,200 Speaker 1: that guys are running in high school. The thing. The 904 00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,319 Speaker 1: only problem is these guys are not used to playing 905 00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,480 Speaker 1: with each other and they're not communicating well, and they're 906 00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:40,640 Speaker 1: using that as a scapeboat to say, oh no, we 907 00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:42,520 Speaker 1: have to pull back on stuff. The heck with that. 908 00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,839 Speaker 1: Figure it out that this week we have a guy 909 00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:49,080 Speaker 1: by the name of Odell Beckham coming to town and 910 00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,600 Speaker 1: we can't lose track of him. Dry, Let's just let's 911 00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,319 Speaker 1: just start with that. And a pretty good running game too, Yeah, 912 00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:57,640 Speaker 1: pretty good. I mean you talking about Nick Chubb and 913 00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:00,840 Speaker 1: Kareem hunting yesterday. Yeah, really a good running game and 914 00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,840 Speaker 1: somehow Baker Mayfield starting to figure it out. The Browns 915 00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:07,840 Speaker 1: are above five hundred for the first time since twenty fourteen, 916 00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,400 Speaker 1: and that's who the Cowboys got this week. It'll be 917 00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:12,080 Speaker 1: a ton of fun. We're gonna break down that game 918 00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,560 Speaker 1: starting on Wednesday. Still a lot to get too when 919 00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,359 Speaker 1: it comes to this thirty one or thirty eight, thirty 920 00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:21,279 Speaker 1: one loss for the Cowboys on Sunday against Seattle. Bring 921 00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:24,600 Speaker 1: your questions tomorrow, Fans on the fifty, don't hold back. 922 00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:27,399 Speaker 1: Bring them on Twitter, bring them on periscope. I don't 923 00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,520 Speaker 1: care to send me a carrier pigeon with your question. 924 00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,480 Speaker 1: I don't care. I just need the fan questions. That way, 925 00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:35,640 Speaker 1: we can break it down, answer those for you and 926 00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:37,920 Speaker 1: figure out what exactly the Cowboys need to do to 927 00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,759 Speaker 1: get back to five hundred this week against Cleveland and 928 00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:42,759 Speaker 1: then start making a run for the playoffs. But if 929 00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:45,719 Speaker 1: there is any silver lining, they're still tied for first 930 00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:49,399 Speaker 1: place in the NFC East. Thank you Washington, thank you Philadelphia, 931 00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:52,440 Speaker 1: thank you New York, because right now the NFC East 932 00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:55,080 Speaker 1: is just looking pretty least at the moment, and thank 933 00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:58,080 Speaker 1: goodness for that. But there's a chance, there is definitely 934 00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,560 Speaker 1: a chance. You're's definitely a chance get in the tournament. 935 00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:04,279 Speaker 1: Anything can happen, anything can happen. But that's gonna do it. 936 00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:08,200 Speaker 1: Here for talking Cowboys, here on this Monday, for Hecka Harrison, 937 00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:10,640 Speaker 1: for Rob Phillips, for Isaiah stand Back.
