WEBVTT - Cowboys Break: Calling For Backup 0:00:02.320 --> 0:00:04.840 The following. Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:04.880 --> 0:00:15.200 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Cowboys, Let's go. Are 0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:18.080 you ready for a break? Yes? Are you ready for 0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:23.200 a break? Absolutely? Ready for a break? Yeah, and so 0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:27.080 much for that. It's time for the Break on Dallas 0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:33.199 Cowboys dot Com with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar 0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:39.519 Garcia and Derek Eagleton. Hey, guys, welcome back to Cowboys 0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:43.720 Break today. Our cast looks a little different. We got 0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:46.920 I said, stand back and the one and only Darren 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:50.240 Woodson and of course Nick em in here. But how 0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:53.440 are you guys doing today? We're good, great, a little 0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:55.880 bit of change here. Coming back from Boston. I think 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:59.959 every flight from that area has been delayed or canceled 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:03.720 or whatever. So Dave couldn't make it. Derek has some 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:06.399 other things to attend, so you know, this is a 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:08.160 week we're gonna shake it up. Anyways, we just got 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:10.120 a little head start to it and won't miss them 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:12.440 on the show. Maybe. I mean that's I just tweeted out. 0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:14.560 I was like, hey, you know, everybody wants continuity. You 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:17.959 want your group, but you can't get the regular guys in. 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:21.920 Let's get a couple of ballers in here. We're looking 0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:24.479 at me. I'm just looking at you, man, So I'm 0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:27.160 just figuring out where I fall the line here could 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:28.840 your boys who work here, so you were just like 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:31.479 grab anybody off the street. So I'm the dude off 0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:34.959 the street. Listen, this is where you fall in line. 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:38.040 We have an option to pick any photo in the 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:40.840 history of the Dallas Cowboys to put on our wall. 0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:44.200 And what do we pick? I want to hear all 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:52.640 that's where you stand? Yeah, okay, Lee, you realize he 0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:55.120 has kind of like a man crush on you. I 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:58.240 don't know. We're oping on now, We're ofping on. Sometimes 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:01.960 I feel that way and then other no denial over here. 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:05.440 Ye all right, Well, we have a lot to talk 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.799 about today. So since there are many many different aspects 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:11.720 of the crazy game that we watched last night, Cowboys 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:15.480 win over time. We everyone saw that final score thirty 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:18.840 five twenty nine, let's just start off with your takeaway 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:21.760 of the game, just in general, I say, go ahead, 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:23.840 what was your main takeaway of this game? Well, my 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:26.360 main takeaway is the fact that we have we know 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:28.120 what the character of this team is. I think that 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:30.480 all the forms of adversity that they faced yesterday and 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:34.160 the forms of injury and forms of um, you know, turnovers, um, 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:38.400 you know, the referees, everything that they had to overcome yesterday. 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:40.280 I think you really have a great understanding of who 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:43.320 these guys are when they're battle tested. We've had other 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:44.920 games this year that we've had to go down to 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:47.280 the wire, but this this one right here, I think 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:49.320 you have a as a coach and as a fan 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:51.320 and as analysts, I think you have you pretty You 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.160 feel pretty good about who you have in that locker 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:59.639 room right now. I would say, look, they don't win 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:03.000 this game game last year. They don't. They weren't built 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:05.799 to win these type of games last year, this this 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:09.000 this year around, and just watching this year's game, they 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.639 have some dogs on this team. I mean, really do. 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:14.200 I didn't hear Cede Lamb's name in the first half, 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:16.679 second half, he just turns it up. He takes it 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:19.359 to the next level. Dak has so many weapons at 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:24.160 his disposal, and we're seeing the maturation process. But not 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:26.160 only Dak, but the young guys that are on this 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:29.040 football team. The Pollard's coming up, stepping up, making big 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:32.480 plays when he has to Cede Lamb Wilson. There's just 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.320 so many guys that you have to cover. And as 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:38.480 a deep as ave player, as I'm watching this offense, 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:41.120 I'm thinking, Okay, well if I take if you're Belichick, 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.920 I'm taking Amari Cooper away. Maybe the first half. Yeah, 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:47.000 he didn't do much, but here comes CD and then 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.440 here comes Pollard. There's just so and then Wilson. It's 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:51.640 just so many guys that you have to Shultz, you 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:54.280 had so many guys have to deal with with this offense. 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.760 I just you're in this office, is only gonna get better, 0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.440 get Lyle back, and he got some guys who the 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:04.400 opposite lineman who've played while while, you know, through the 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:07.119 injuries and all that sot to build out depth. Yeah, 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:11.400 Galloped this we haven't talked about, but on the field, 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:14.040 but they just have so many weapons offensively that it's 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:16.560 gonna be hard to stop them if they can play 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:20.400 within themselves. Yeah, I mean, I they said it best. 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:24.640 I mean I feel like when you play poorly, you know, 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:26.720 and still find a way to win, I mean that's 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:28.880 a sign of a good team. And you know it 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.320 doesn't always happen that way. You mean, that team had 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:34.400 no business playing with the Cowboys, and that quarterback he's 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:37.280 I mean, he's gonna be good down the road, and 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.040 I think I think he's in a good spot for it. 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:42.159 But but you know, that day, Cowboys should have probably 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:44.920 won it by seventeen twenty one points, but they didn't. 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:46.760 But they still, like you said, I don't think they 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:48.839 win last year. A couple of years ago, they don't. 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:50.920 They just didn't feel like a vibe that they were 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.560 going to win. But they figured it out, and you know, 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:55.400 and you talk about a lot of depth they've got 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:58.320 all these guys, there's one spot that we we don't 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.560 really know if they've got any depth, and I hope 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:04.040 we may have to find out, you know, with a quarterback. 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:06.760 We don't really know where things stands as we're taping 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:09.200 this show from the MRI. But I know there's a 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:11.200 lot of there's a lot of breath being held over 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:13.719 that side of the building, right, you know, for Deck's 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:16.640 calf and acting like it wasn't anything. I mean, of 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:18.800 course it's dak. It's gonna walk out there and be 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.320 like I can all good and everything. But I mean 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:24.160 they don't boot up any any calf. They don't just 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:25.839 say I was put a boot on you. I mean 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:27.200 they want to take the stress off it. I mean 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:29.640 that's just precaution until they until they have a greater 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.240 analysis of what's going on. But you know, like like 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:35.000 I mentioned earlier, you know, gallops out with a calf, Right, 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:37.640 when's the last time we saw gallop? That's gonna while 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:41.600 you don't have to tell me that that gets that 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:43.880 makes it scary. Yeah, that makes scary because you're not 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:45.840 sure what you know, with the uncertain there could be 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:48.640 there's about three or four different grades to this. And 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:52.840 well you have bye week, so that helps. But we'll see. 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.240 But you know, going back to the game, you know 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:58.000 you said it right, Nick, they made so many mistakes 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:00.120 in this game. I mean they made a tough on 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:02.360 of mistakes and we can I mean, they made so 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:06.720 many mistakes. I can't remember all, we don't, but they 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.080 still found a way to win this game. And that's 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.000 what good teams do. You know. I was watching a 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:13.400 little bit of the Kansas City game earlier in that 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:17.560 day against the against the Washington football team, and Kansas 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:21.000 City made a ton of mistakes. You know, I can't 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.520 tell you I made the interceptions fumbles here and there, 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:25.680 but they found a way and then they put up 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:27.640 twenty one points just like that. And that's what you're 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.240 seeing in this football team. A lot of mistakes where 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:33.120 you know, my concern would be, when you're playing a 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:36.160 really good football team, you can't make those mistakes. You 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:37.960 can't fumble the ball at the one yard line, you 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.840 can't you can't have fourth and one a number of 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:45.320 times and not make you gotta get those fourth and one. 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:47.240 I gotta point to that, and it's going to be 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:49.360 it's not so much game related about when you're playing 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:51.400 those good teams, but before you're you know, I know 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.000 you have to leave a little bit earlier before the show. 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.000 I want to talk about that facing good teams. Maybe 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:57.920 not right the second because we're still talking about the game, 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:01.000 but it's interesting when you look at it, playing good 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:03.279 teams and who who they're going to play the rest 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.800 of the year. But um, you know, going back to 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:10.440 you know, Dak, I think what I've said over and 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:11.680 over and I'll say it to you guys because you 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:13.680 guys both play and you've been around a lot of teams. 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:15.840 I think the difference of this team is the fact 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.680 that they're the most unselfish team I've ever said, they 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.240 just do not care not We'll see what happens when 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:22.920 you lose a game, and we'll see if everyone says 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:24.760 is on the same page, and I think they will be. 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:28.240 And I think the unselfishness is amazing as far as 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.000 Dak doesn't care who gets there. You know, Cooper's not 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:34.240 complaining about his catches. Get the win and it'll all 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:36.600 shake out at the end. Yeah. Yes, culture, you know 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:39.120 I talk about culture so much, and you know, I 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:41.120 think dan Quinn had a big part part of this, obviously, 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:42.960 Coach McCarthy and the guys that he's that he's brought 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:46.080 onto this, not only the staff, but into this locker room. Um, 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:48.320 you know, culture is absolutely everything. I know you you 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.120 can speak to that as well. I've been in locker 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:53.960 rooms are in bad you know, and you know sometimes 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.040 we went we had amazing teams. We went and got 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:57.720 your button knocked out the first round of the playoffs, 0:07:57.720 --> 0:07:59.240 and I've been on other teams that obviously went all 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:02.280 the way through, and you know, the culture inside that 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:05.080 locker room is the difference between making the playoffs and 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:07.440 actually getting walking away with a ring. I think that 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.320 back again, I start off on the show, and we 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:12.760 were talking earlier about the dogs, amount of guys that 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:16.600 they have that truly believe in self Like they have 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:20.320 guys of course, like Randy Gregory is a dude man 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:25.200 talking trash all game. I do not mind that as 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:27.760 long as you come and play like that was. Those 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:29.600 are some of the things that we're missing. And I 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:31.120 mean a lot of guys were just it was fake 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:35.600 talking trash. Now these guys, I mean, individually, you're starting 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:39.800 to see this mentality of I'm the dude, I am 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:42.839 the dude, and truly believing that they are the dudes. 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:45.599 I mean, number eleven is a dude. He's going to 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:47.760 do He didn't play that well yesterday, but he's a dude. 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.280 Now he's gonna make some things have happens. Number seven 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:52.760 is another one. Yeah, I mean they just have a 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:55.680 And it's not just like I'm gonna make a play here, No, 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:57.560 I'm gonna make a change that's gonna be a game 0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:01.120 changing play that's gonna win that that's gonna help us 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:02.800 win the game. It sounds like they got a tally 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:05.120 board they do man in the locker room, right, it 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:07.120 makes a big play. Yeah, I got another one for 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:10.680 you twenty seven. Jay, Yeah, played well, man, that guy 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.560 has been playing extremely well. And he's another one, I 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:16.439 mean him, and you know he there was I think 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:18.920 everybody was fine. There was he at the moment. It happens. 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:21.200 But even on the sideline in the middle of the game, 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:23.959 there were some guys going back and forth and upset 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:27.560 about on defense playing and you know, um and Parsons 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:29.480 was in there, and Curse was in there, and Casey 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:31.360 was in there. I mean, those guys were you know 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:33.640 in Casey's another guy. He's a he's a smaller guy, 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:35.480 but he's not afraid to mix it up in there. 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:38.200 You know, he had a questionable play there at the end. 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:41.680 That it happens. It happens. It didn't happen with you, 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:46.360 I trust me, dogs, it happens. It does. And yeah, 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:51.960 I wasn't just exactly. And hey, Cherry Vaughn took it. 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:54.120 He said, it's on me. It's on me. He goes, 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:55.480 I didn't go for the ball. It's the same it's 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:57.280 the same play he made last week. Right, But last 0:09:57.280 --> 0:09:58.960 week it was a pick because it was because because 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.160 well GLENNI through a bad ball last week, right, and 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:03.400 he got a pick right this time, took the same angle, 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:08.200 took a better ball, took a bad angle. Stop though, Yeah, no, 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.800 he tried to undercut that ball. He tried to undercut 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:15.319 it and it costs him money. And look, look, free 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:18.760 safety should have made that play hands down because he's 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.839 seeing and it wasn't like the quarterback was looking off 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:24.280 the free safety. That play should have been made by. 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:26.640 But then also lets you know where they're at in 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:29.120 their relationship too. They're still figuring each other out. So 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:30.880 as good as these guys are playing, they're still figuring 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:32.679 each other out because I know, what are you back there? 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:33.960 And he knows he has a dog up there at 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:35.600 the corner. He's gonna say, I'm gonna stay back because 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:37.720 I know he's gonna be aggressive, right, I'm gonna let 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:39.120 him go out there and take a shot at the play. 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:41.520 And if worst case scenario happens and he doesn't get 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:43.360 the ball, I'm gonna be there cleaning up. And let 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:46.560 me say this to you. Situational football. So the end 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:48.840 of the game, right, and I get it, like you 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:51.160 live and die by the big play. And and and 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:54.839 that's what Dix has been doing. Like he's he's pieced 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:57.160 of famine at times, and yesterday it was just that 0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:58.600 we just saw that at the end of the game. 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:01.720 Situational football into the game. You don't go for that 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:04.920 double move. He runs an out, hey, let him take it. 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:07.400 Let him have that out, But you do not get 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:09.200 beat on a double move at the end of the game. 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.480 Do you think the fact that you're getting a lot 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:15.000 of interceptions and now your confidence has got to be 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.120 through the roof. Do you think that you feel like 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.880 he can just get every ball, like like he's jumping 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:22.400 and getting you know, and you know what I'm telling him. 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:24.920 If I'm a coach, you know what I'm telling go 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:28.200 get it now. I'm not telling everybody that, but that 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:31.320 dude is different. But you just no, no, don't do 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:34.480 that like suuation football. Just understand like he should just 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:37.120 as a football player. No, look, man, we're up. Yeah, 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:39.240 I can't give up a doubt. I just got an 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:41.959 interception outre I'm gonna kill me. Yeah, the out is 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.080 not gonna beat me. Right, let's give up the out. 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.720 That's fine, But don't get beat at that point of 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:48.960 the game. But there's gonna be other parts parts of 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.920 that game. First second third quarter man where you tell 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:55.000 your dogs to go hunt, go make those plays because 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.120 you got certain guys that can do that. You Randy 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:59.600 Gregor can probably could do some things free lancing, Uh, 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:03.720 probably freelance a little bit. Number eleven can probably freelance 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:05.600 a little bit. But I'm not telling everybody to do 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:08.600 so I know who I got. I remember a Guyan Sanders. 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:10.480 You just said, hey, man, go do you, bro. We'll 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:13.520 see you after the game. Like, just go do you 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.120 and we'll deal with it after me. And that's what 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:19.439 you're starting to have on this football team. You're you're 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:22.880 getting guys that just aren't just consistent football players, You're 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:26.920 getting dynamic players that are able to make plays for you. Well, 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.880 speaking of dynamic, I mean earlier on you mentioned the 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:33.600 four in one, and that's something you know, play calling 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:36.840 and the decision making of this coach and some of 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:40.120 the things that sometimes it works into the advantage, but 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:43.120 then some other times it just you know, and it's 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:45.960 gonna get criticized one way or another. It's gonna get criticized. 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:48.679 So I want to get your opinion about the play 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:53.120 calling and how aggressive Mike McCarthy has been so far 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:58.560 right this game, something that we were asking for years 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:01.199 with Jason Garrett and now we're getting it. And then 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:03.960 at the same time, you just can't police everyone's right. 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.640 I wasn't a fan of the first quarter that that 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:08.880 play call backed up on your side of the field 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:11.200 against Belichick, against a game against a team that you 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:13.440 know that you need to get up on because if 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:15.480 he has a game close, he's just gonna outphysical you. 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:18.319 You know, I know, I know for Belichick, those guys 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:20.520 went thirteen personnel for their whole first drive and scored 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:23.199 like it was nothing. Three tight ends. Who does that, right, So, 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:25.720 knowing that you're facing a team like that, I'm not 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:27.559 a fan of Kellen Moore and obviously we didn't we 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:29.880 didn't convert on it right and that first quarter, so 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:31.360 that I'm not a fan of putting us in that 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:34.000 situation right off the back in that kind of environment. 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:36.680 But you know, later on in terms of the fourth 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:39.120 and one, third down was a touchdown, but it wasn't 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:41.240 a touchdown. So now you go to fourth and one, 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:44.120 you understand from the fans perspective, people might be asking, well, 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:46.280 why did he jump over the pile? Coach just called 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:49.480 a sneak right. Dak decided to jump over the pile, right, 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:51.400 So that's that's a decision that's made by him. He 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:52.880 just has to figure out how to hold onto the 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:56.400 ball or go another way. Yeah, I mean the third 0:13:56.480 --> 0:14:00.840 down and everybody on Twitter was like, you're crazy, craziest touchdown. 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.760 I'm like, I get it, but like where? I mean, 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:07.120 I yes, his body seems to be across and I 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:10.679 don't think he's holding the ball in his crotch. Okay, 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:12.400 I don't. I don't think he's got it down there. 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:14.840 I think he's got it up here. That seems like one. Well, 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:16.360 I don't think he does. I mean, but I don't know. 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:19.520 He might he might have it there, but I mean, 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:23.480 I'm I'm assuming if his ass is here, his body's here, 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:25.160 the ball's got to be down here, and we didn't 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:27.880 see it. There's no way you're gonna get it. There's 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:29.880 no camera angle that would have that would have seen that. 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:31.480 The only thing that you have is some kind of 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:33.920 way that the I T Department puts a tracker in 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:37.760 the ball. Yeah, the NFL had enough money to put 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:41.040 because then you guys not worry about cheating. So I 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:49.040 ain't gonna do that. The Patriots. Um well, I mean 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:52.320 it was funny before the game was beautiful day out there? 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:54.960 What was You don't always say that it's a beautiful day, 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:57.320 and then you look around and then like right before kickoff, 0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:01.200 here's a couple of dark clouds coming in. I'm like, 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:04.760 the what's going on? Yeah? You know, look man, I 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:07.280 think you know, there's been some times where I've had 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:10.280 I've questioned to play not not only not so much 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:12.760 the play calling, but the managing of time of the 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:16.040 play clock. And I've you know, I've had some issues 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:18.760 with McCarthy and that at that instance, I didn't have 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:20.640 a problem with him going on for it on fourth 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:22.560 and one, not even earlier in the game or later. 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:25.200 I just like, there's a true belief. I think there's 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:27.840 a belief in the system now, and I think he 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:30.920 firmly believes in the players. Yeah, it's easy for many 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:33.000 second guess it. And after after it happened, I was like, 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:35.000 what the hell, I can't believe you know what I mean? 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:37.440 I was upset about it afterwards as being an armchair 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:39.480 or quarterback, But at the same time, I was like, look, man, 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.160 this you know we've asked for this. You just said 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:46.520 it earlier. We've been asking for this, for an aggressive 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:49.160 play caller or an aggressive coach to go after it 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:52.080 when it's fourth and inches or fourth and one or whatnot, 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:54.360 even backed up, we've been asking for this, and now 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:57.480 we got it. And now that we got it, there's 0:15:57.480 --> 0:15:59.760 still got your naysayers out there who are playing you know, 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:02.800 we shouldn't have did. We can't do this and do that. Look, man, 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:05.240 this is how they're built. I am I This. What 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:07.600 you see now is what you're going to get the 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:10.240 rest of this season. And you know, the thing about 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:12.360 it is is that I feel what I like about 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:14.880 it is is it doesn't feel like they make these 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:17.640 decisions on fourth down. I said this a million times. 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:19.880 I don't play pool very well, but if I did, 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:21.640 you know, the greatest pool players are the ones that 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:23.720 play two three shots ahead. So you got you gotta 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:26.200 know what this we're gonna do. And so on second down, 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:27.840 second and eight, I'm like, am I going forward if 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:30.000 it's fourth and one or two? Yeah? Probably so that 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:31.920 you call that way on second you call that way 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:34.280 on third down, third and goal from the four, I'm like, 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:36.080 if I know I'm going for it, maybe I'll run 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:38.200 a draw, right, maybe I'll score, maybe it gets to 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:40.440 the one, but then I'm going for it. So I 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:42.280 feel like they do that more. They kind of have 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:44.040 it in their head of how they want to do it. 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:46.240 And and and hey, Kellen risk you have four down? 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:48.880 Tis right? That's right. But then even on third and 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:50.760 it's third and short, they're running up to the line 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:52.280 of scrimmage real quick, trying to get this, you know, 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:54.080 just to see what they have and then not ever 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:56.800 work that like rush rush rush. I don't ever feel 0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:59.600 like that work. You know what it does. It does 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:01.480 put the defense on its heels a little bit to 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:03.960 start to think, Okay, I can't bring people in a 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:06.600 different personnel in. So now it's third in two. Ill 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:08.200 used to give them big boys in. Now I can't 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:09.960 do that because they're rustled. They're up to the line 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:13.000 really quick. So now I gotta be set. Now I'm 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:15.480 showing you what I'm what I'm in. Yeah, now Dad 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:17.720 gets a good picture of it. It looks at the sideline. 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:19.320 They figure it out if they want to, you know, 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:21.080 whatever they want to do. But I don't have a 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:23.080 problem with them. Even on fourth down. You just sort 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:25.399 of know if it's fourth and one. They may just 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:26.840 run up to the you know, get up there and 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:28.760 snap it or try to hardcount. It keeps you on 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:31.760 your toes all the time as a defense. Now let's 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:34.119 go ahead and take an early break, and when we 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:38.280 come back, we're gonna talk not necessarily penalties by these 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:43.360 rest specifically, but just penalties overall. Especially in the old 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:47.800 line of this Dallas Cowboys puffings before there was a draft. 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:50.640 You get sized up a cowboy by three simple factors. 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:52.879 To crease at his head, the bend of his brim, 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:56.479 and his unbending attitude a man. Stetson didn't just protect 0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:59.359 him from what life through at him. It projected a rugged, 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:03.760 unstoppable spirit.
