21
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: Or the Cowboys went up to Kansas City arrow Heads

22
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 1: Stadium three twenty five Game of the Week on Fox.

23
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: We had Troy, we had John Bucking there. I mean,

24
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: it was hype. It was hyped. Everybody was hyping it up.

25
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: They felt like this would be the game of the year.

26
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: Going into this game, we thought it was gonna be

27
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: a shootout, bang bang, bang, back and forth. But it

28
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: didn't happen that way. Mccraig, what was your thoughts on

29
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: the on Sunday's game. Well, let me clear it up,

30
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: because Barry, I'm just saying I did not think it

31
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: was gonna be a shootout. I thought our defense was

32
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: going to play well and hold them to twenty four points,

33
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: which is the NFL game is is that that's a

34
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: that's a good point total. We held him to nineteen,

35
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: but our offense did not get off the bus. The

36
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: offense got left back here in Frisco. Buck, We could

37
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: not get in rolling. We suffered more injuries in the game.

38
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: We had Ceedee Lamb go out somewhere around the second half.

39
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: We couldn't get an old line to figure out how

40
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: how to block anyone. At that point, the noise was

41
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: getting to us at the at the stated communication was off,

42
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: so man, just all around offensively, it was just a

43
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: bad performance by us. But bright spot, Okay, you text

44
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: me early in the in the game you said, I

45
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 1: said top ten defense. You was like, yeah, right, yeah,

46
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: I said, stop it. I can't and I'm like you

47
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: just watch, you just watch and if you listen, the

48
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: defense kept us in that game because there were so

49
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: many times where I was like a man, we stopped

50
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: them this many times. It was like five straight times

51
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: that we had stopped five or six straight drifts and uh,

52
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: I was like, man, but one of these, if we

53
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: don't score some like offensive points, the next one is

54
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: gonna be twenty three. It's gonna look like the defense

55
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: played horrible. But they kept fighting. They did even even

56
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: when the offense would give them the ball, and in

57
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: our own territory of with horrible field positions, they figured

58
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: out a way to stop them. Ben but don't break

59
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: in make on kick field goals. Michael Parsons had another

60
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: hell of a game. Agah, Yeah, we're gonna get on

61
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: him a little bit later. That unbelievable, but I'm like,

62
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: I'm still really excited about our defense. Um, I'm not

63
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: gonna take everything away from the offenses we were getting

64
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: into the injuries and and how hard it is to

65
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: come back from some of the stuff that we had

66
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: to deal with. But at the end of the day,

67
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: they're still a way for us to win that game. Yeah,

68
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: we had we had an opportunity. We definitely had an opportunity.

69
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: Like you said, this game was hyped up. I was

70
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: talking about earlier. This game was hyped up from the jump.

71
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: It was Dak Prescott, you know, is he in that

72
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: elite quarterback conversation. Then you got my Homes on the

73
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: other side, who everybody considers him, you know, the greatest

74
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: thing since sliced bread. So these two guys going at

75
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: it for the first time in their careers. You know,

76
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: my Homes being a Texas boy. So this game was

77
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: hyped up. In my opinion, it didn't live up to

78
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: that height. You know, I thought it was gonna come

79
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: out here, shots were gonna be fired back and forth,

80
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: big plays here and there, tyree getting getting loose on

81
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: our defense. But that never happened. That never happened. And

82
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: I'll give you credit for that the defense played its

83
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: butt off. They kept this this high powered Kansas City

84
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: offense pretty much in check. Like you called it. It It

85
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: was a bend but don't break style of defense. When

86
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: they got into the red zone, they were able to

87
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: hold Kansas City to field goals and I think they

88
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: had well that three or four field goals tech gals,

89
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 1: two field goals, I believe exactly. And early on, early

90
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: on in that game, those first three drives, I was like, oh,

91
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: here we go. Q just had to figure it out.

92
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: That he had to figure it out. You saw him

93
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: running the ball a little bit. They were completing some passes,

94
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: and then it was like that wake up of like, okay,

95
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: we see what they're trying to do. I liken it

96
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: to like how Floyd maybe whether it is in the

97
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: beginning right, Usually he get out there in the first

98
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: couple of rounds he's like, oh, we don't know, we're

99
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: not sure what's going on, Floyd. And then all of

100
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: a sudden, you just pick it up and you saw it. Man.

101
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: We started getting pressure, the defensive backs were locking down.

102
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: They were playing some really good football, which is the

103
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: most disappointing part about it, because you say, man, if

104
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: your defense goes out there and holds Kansas City the

105
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 1: nineteen you should be able to at least beat in

106
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: the game, especially with the offense we got. We could

107
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: we could not find a way to get in the game.

108
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: And I think this was like the so it was

109
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: like the Mahomes versus Dak thing, right, but this was

110
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: the Mahomes. This was like last year when we saw

111
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: Mahomes in the Super Bowl and this offensive line did

112
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: not have all their pieces and they didn't play well.

113
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: And you say he's still Pat Mahomes. Man, I say

114
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: he's still Dak Prescott. But Prescott in that offensive line,

115
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: we just they struggled and that was I think that's

116
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: the most they struggled all year. That was that was

117
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: a bad outing for for our offensive line. Well, let's

118
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: just dive straight into it then. I mean, we talked

119
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: about the game a little bit, but let's focus on

120
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: that offensive side of the ball. Let's focus on specifically

121
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: that offensive line. I mean, we going in here, you

122
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 1: know this week, you know the Cowboys are like, all right,

123
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: we got to find a new solution at left guard.

124
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: Connor Williams, you know, he struggled a lot when going

125
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: against the bull rush, and he was the most penalized player.

126
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: I'm not if it's either in the NFL or on

127
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. He's getting a lot of penalty. So they

128
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: decided to make the move put you know, mc governing

129
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: in there. Let's see what he got. He's done some

130
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: full back work and for this offense. But let's see

131
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: if he can go in there and establish that left

132
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: guard position. Let's get it down pat. So they put

133
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 1: him in there. They think they got their best five

134
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: out there. You know, Tyren Smith didn't go. So we

135
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: got Steel on the left side, and then we got

136
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: Collins on the right side. I was the last struggle.

137
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 1: What was your thoughts on that. I'm just listen, I'm

138
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: just I'm just gonna go back to this, Okay, because

139
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: I've been saying this for a while. Okay, if you

140
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: go back over the last three to four years, Okay,

141
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: the most evident thing when when we're missing a player

142
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: is that when we're missing Tyron Smith, yes, the game

143
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: looks totally different. Like every time he's out for an

144
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: extended period of time, we do not look like a

145
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 1: team that can beat anyone offensively. Right. I went back

146
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: to Atlanta a few years ago when Clayborne came out

147
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: and then he had six sacks. Right, and then you

148
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: watch last year, right, Tyren Smith's out, Layo's out, but

149
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,559
Speaker 1: Tyren Smith is the guy. He's out. All of a sudden,

150
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: everything's different this year. Now he's out two games one.

151
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: You know, we hold up. Okay, this one it was,

152
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: it was bad. And then you throw in a new

153
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: guy right right next to Terren Still when you put

154
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: them on the left side, and you saw, you saw

155
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: players where the communication was so off that Still couldn't

156
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: even hear the snap count. He didn't even know the

157
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: ball was snapping. He's getting beat off the edge, right,

158
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: So I think I'm gonna go back to this. Okay,

159
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: I do think still at the right it's still our

160
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: best option. And then you can you put Leo at

161
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: the left and give him some help. Okay, at least

162
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: you have McGovern over there with with the veteran player.

163
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: Maybe they're able to play a little better. But if

164
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: you have to show up at least one side of

165
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: your offensive mind, you cannot have League Joan both. And

166
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: what we know is if you put Terry Still on

167
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: the right, based off what we've seen this year from him,

168
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: he will be able to hold up on the right side.

169
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: So at least you could depend on one thing, right

170
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: You could depend on the sprint out, you could depend

171
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: on some passes to whatever. You can find a way

172
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: to work with that. But when you have both both

173
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: edges under attack and the middle under attack, name you

174
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: got no chance, Yeah you got you got no chance.

175
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: And I'm with you on this one. I mean, look,

176
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: everybody on the officive line struggled. Everybody. I mean, I'm

177
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: even Zach Martin. He got he got worked a little

178
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: bit as well. So that to me, it's a little

179
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: worrisome because you know, at least if everybody else, you know, fails.

180
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: We got Zach Martin in there. He played his butt

181
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: off and he had a pretty good game. But he

182
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: gave up one but Chris Jones. Chris Jones, he had

183
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: the game on that defensive line. I'm talking about. This

184
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: guy went ham on anybody. Everybody could have got something.

185
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: He gave it to be honest, he gave it to

186
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 1: m McGovern, he gave it to steal on the outside.

187
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: And then he said, you know what, I know this

188
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 1: guy's going to the Hall of Fame. I know he's

189
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: probably the best guard in the National Football League. But

190
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: I'm feeling myself. I'm on fire right now. He can

191
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: get it too. So he went over top of Zack Martin,

192
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: gave him a one two steps, slapped him on by.

193
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: Zach Martin's hand was all in the dirt, and he

194
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: went and sacked Dak Prescott. So to me, Jones, Chris Jones,

195
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he played a hell of a game. He

196
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: was just one of the most game wrecking performances I've

197
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 1: seen in the wild since the Dominicans who played that

198
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: Nebraska and he took over that big twelveth championship. I

199
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 1: mean this was because he also tipped the ball that

200
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: led to the game selling interception. So this guy was unstoppable.

201
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: But overall, this officive line it got me worried because

202
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: we don't know when Todd Smith is gonna get back.

203
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I gotta concede to you. You

204
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: called it from the beginning, you said, you know what

205
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 1: this guy, you know, he says he's back to form,

206
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: and I was believing it. But we just don't know

207
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: what burns bonespurs all that stuff. I've never had that

208
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 1: type of injury, so I don't know how long. That's

209
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: gonna last. But we're on a short week. We're on

210
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 1: a short week against the Raiders, and I don't know

211
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:39,599
Speaker 1: if he's gonna be able to play against them. We

212
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: know we don't. We won't have him Mark Cooper because

213
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 1: of the COVID protocols for unvaccinated people. He probably won't

214
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: be back in time. But to me, the more significant

215
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: injury was that Tyrn Smith because that offensive line to me,

216
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,719
Speaker 1: seemed like it fell apart. Well, I mean, look, this

217
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: is gonna this is gonna sound like I'm going back

218
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: to the draft and all that. I love. Listen because

219
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: you say game, game wrecking performances, yil. On the opposite side,

220
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons had a game record, so he did him

221
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: him like they Christian Christians. They went out there, bro

222
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: and they really were like battling against each other to

223
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: see who can have who can have the biggest impact defensively, right,

224
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: and they both were shutting it down. Um, but when

225
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: you when you get to Tyren Smith versus drafting Michael Parsons,

226
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: all right, I love I love Michael Parsons, Like dude,

227
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: I'm not taking anything away from Michael Parsons, but you

228
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: see no matter how good Michael Parsons plays, if we're

229
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: missing and Tyren Smith on our offensive line, it does

230
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: not matter. And the point is when you when you

231
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: watch the Seattle it don't matter who was out there

232
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: against Seattle when Tyren Smith was out. You could have

233
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: had a Pro Bowl roster and missus Tyren Smith and

234
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: Clayborne would have went out there and wrecked the game.

235
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: Our game was wrecked. And it wasn't just a left

236
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: tackle position, but that just messes up the whole flow.

237
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: The one position that you need to trust is your

238
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: left tackle position, and we and we did not have

239
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: that and Sith get paid it and it was evident. So,

240
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: like I said, I love Michael Parsons, but when I'm

241
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: looking at our left tackle position, or actually our old

242
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: line as a whole, but our left tackle what Tyren

243
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: Smith is that we have to have some some consistency, there,

244
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: some some dependability of the fact that you're going to

245
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: be able to play the entire season. And we have

246
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: not seen it. Yeah, until we until we find it,

247
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: You're always going to go into each week wondering which

248
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: which which week is it gonna be that Tyre Smith

249
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 1: is not gonna be able to play. You get into

250
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: a playoff run all of a sudden and he's out

251
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 1: three weeks. Yeah, well you only got one for sure.

252
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: Saint Basketball got a game seven and only got one

253
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 1: for sure. So it's yeah, it's it's it's worthsome. It

254
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: is worries. Okay, so let me We're gonna stay on

255
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: this old line for a little bit. But the crowd

256
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: noise in Arrowhead. I played there twice, It gets loud.

257
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: I took two els both both times playing an Arrowhead,

258
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: It gets loud. Do you think that had a little

259
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: bit to do with the offensive line struggles? I mean,

260
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: I know we got a young guys center with Bey Honest,

261
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: she's supposed to be out there making all the calls

262
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: and making sure the offensive lines on the same page.

263
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: And for the most part this season, I'm not saying

264
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: his play has been steller, but the communication along the

265
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: offensive line, it's been okay, it's been right. It ain't

266
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: Travis Frederick, but it's been all right. Do you think

267
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: that played a little bit into the struggles of the

268
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: offensive line yesterday? Yeah? Absolutely, That's something that you really

269
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: can't simulate. Right. We used to try to put all

270
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: the noise out there right and stuff. But then when

271
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: you when you go through and you're playing home games

272
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: or you're playing in Minnesota, it's not as loud as

273
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: Arrowhead that there are people who say, man, it's Arrowhead

274
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: and it's the Seattle Seall Stadium, right, who are the

275
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: two loudest? And it was evident not only for the

276
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: offensive line, this was for Dak talking to the receivers outside.

277
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: You see plays where Dalton shows has no idea, where

278
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: he's like, man, well, what were we talking about here?

279
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,719
Speaker 1: The Seaton's out there running the wrong playoff one of

280
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: the screen routes. So there was the communication thing because

281
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: of the crowd noise, and then also because of the situation,

282
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: I think it affected us. I think that's something that

283
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: we are going to have to work on because if

284
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: we continue to slide, and we do, it's gonna be

285
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: away game at Lambeau, which quite which is no quiet place.

286
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: It's not at all same playoff season come around and

287
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: and you know my thoughts on a on that crowd noise,

288
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not sure you can do this because

289
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: you know, in college they got the whole clap system

290
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: and the silent count and all that good stuff. I'm

291
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: not quite sure you could pull that off in the NFL,

292
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: you know, because there's so much communication going on. I

293
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: mean's do you think a silent count or something would

294
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: have helped a little bit better. I mean, I'm just

295
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: not sure we could have pulled that off, being as

296
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: though there's so much communication when you're talking about an

297
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: NFL off. Oh man, that's that's credited with Spagnola. Yeah,

298
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: I mean they came out there, they ran zero, they

299
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: did some nickel blitzes. It was you never knew where

300
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: it was from. And like their defense is a perfect

301
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: example of what the coaches you should trying to get

302
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: us to do as far as disguise. You never know

303
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: what Tyran Matthew's gonna be at. Sometimes he's lined up

304
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: in the A gap and then in the middle of

305
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: the cadence you see him drop back to deep middle.

306
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: And then sometimes they line up in a zero look

307
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: and then they drop out. So it would be hard

308
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: for them to go on a silent account without having

309
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: to make that communication when you're seeing things switch so quickly,

310
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: so you have to say, hey, man, hey, we need

311
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: to make sure that we're here to block this up right,

312
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 1: So we got to point it out to say it,

313
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: and I think sometimes we got stuck on trying to

314
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: do that with the offensive line because you got some

315
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: new guys in there, new positions, right, So I think

316
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: all that kind of just went into this this this

317
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: down this downfall the offensive line. This game. It was

318
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: it was it really was what cost us the game. Yeah,

319
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: because to me, I know, the Broncos situation was bad.

320
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: The Broncos game. I mean, you know, they caught us sleepwalking.

321
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: You know, Dak was kind of running for his life

322
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: in that situation. But to me, yesterday just felt a

323
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: little bit different because it was like everybody was getting

324
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: beaten along the offensive line. And it wasn't just you know,

325
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: getting beat as far as Sacks concerned. They were stuffing

326
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: on a run run And I'm surprised. That's where I

327
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: gotta you know, I asked you this as well, But

328
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: I was surprised that Kelly Moore went away from the

329
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: run so quickly. I think Zeke only had maybe nine

330
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: nine carries, Tony Pollard had maybe seven, and like, and

331
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: you're in the game. It's not like the Chiefs were

332
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: blowing us out and we had to up with the past.

333
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: We were right there at the majority part of the game,

334
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: we were right there. I just feel like we abandoned

335
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: the run game too quickly. I mean, it wasn't like

336
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: Zeke was just getting out just getting smashed. I mean

337
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: he was getting three yards in the cloud of dust.

338
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: But we saw as as as a game goes on,

339
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: that starts to wear a defense down, and we just

340
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: didn't keep them off balance enough. They knew what we

341
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: were going to We were passing the ball, so they

342
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: were playing coverage. As far as defense, I just feel

343
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: like we got away for the run too fast. What

344
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: do you think about them? There are a few things

345
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: that I did not like about us going away from

346
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: the running. This has been from the beginning of the season,

347
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: right because I'm a firm believer of if you don't

348
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: establish your team as being able to run the ball

349
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season, then it's something that

350
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to say we're gonna lean

351
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: on this one. It's time like when when we go

352
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: through a situation like we went through yesterday, right, So

353
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: so the confidence is saying, all right, look, pass game

354
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: and working offensive line is struggling, let's re establish our

355
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: ring game. It was. It wasn't there. And I also

356
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: think that this was a lack of confidence and our

357
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: ability as a defense to stop Kansas City because it

358
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: felt like it was like, this is our last chance.

359
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: We gotta put up, we gotta put something on the

360
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: board because we don't. Then all of a sudden, they're

361
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: gonna stretch this game out. And you're watching the game,

362
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: you said, no, the defense is balling. Okay, keep them

363
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: off the field a little bit. How about that, run

364
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: the ball, run the ball, give them a break, change

365
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: to play the field position game. And we got a

366
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: ninety million dollars run, ninety million dollars run back, We

367
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: got Tony Poler back there, and we cannot find out

368
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: a way to get Zeke twenty carry. Last week was

369
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: a Zeke twenty carre. I mean last yesterday was a

370
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: Zeke twenty carry game. That's a twenty carry game. Force

371
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: them to change the field position. Our defense is playing good.

372
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: Help them out by putting them on the one like

373
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: they did us with that at the end of the game,

374
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: hit the ninety nine. I think if we don't find

375
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: their way to establish a running game, there is no

376
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: deep playoff run for us because we have not seen

377
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: a game where we've been able to adjust once once

378
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: once you once the defense is not on the hills,

379
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: right because Keller Moore is great at getting the defense

380
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: on the hills. But what happens when you're figured out

381
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: You have to have something to lean all got to

382
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: and usually it's the ring game. Gotta go on your wheel,

383
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: and we we we haven't. We start to depend on

384
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay quick screens and the other version of

385
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: the ring game about throwing it out, and that stuff

386
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: doesn't work. Man. You have to help your old line

387
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: out by getting them, getting them ready, move the offensive

388
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: with the line of scrimmage. And we didn't do that

389
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 1: yesterday because not only will the run game, you know,

390
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: help the defense, say off the field, but that's when

391
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: you know the Cowboys are at their peak powers, when

392
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: they're at the best of their abilities. Offensively, we're extremely balanced,

393
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: you know, we got a heavy run attack, heavy pass attack.

394
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: It's kind of like we make the defense pick their

395
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: poison out there. And yesterday I felt like kelling in

396
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: this offense kind of just you know, I don't want

397
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: to say dismissed the run game, but just kind of

398
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: went away from it extremely too fast, So shouts goes

399
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 1: out to Spagnol and that defense over there that you know,

400
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 1: they held them in check for the most part. And

401
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: this might be the first game you know, Keller Moore

402
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: might got it all. Coach, well one more because this

403
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: is what this is perplexing, perplexing about us not going

404
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: to the run game. You're out there with all the

405
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: Mark Cooper, yeah, and then you lose Cnee Lamb. The

406
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: only two people who should be touching the ball at

407
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: this point, it's Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elli. You know

408
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Because one, you see your receivers going,

409
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: they're struggling out there. The guys Noah Brown come out

410
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: there and they're coming out there and they're struggling. Helped

411
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: them out, man, helped them out. And then open up

412
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: the boot game, right, I even see that, see a

413
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: lot of boots yesterday. If you don't establish the run,

414
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 1: you can't do that though. The shows is our leading

415
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: receiver yesterday. Yeah, and that shouldn't happen. And you know

416
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: also what it helps your offensive line too, because instead

417
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: of just pass blocking the whole time, kicking back and

418
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: letting the defense take their anger out on you. If

419
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: you establish that run game, you're given opportunity for guys

420
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: like mcgoverning Terrence Steele, be honest, who are struggling to

421
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: go ahead and put some aggression. I'll get some get

422
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: some confidence about the game, and go out there and

423
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: post your will on that defensive line. We didn't do that,

424
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 1: So it's just it's a strike for my boy right there. Kelenn.

425
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: He's usually he's been in his bag, but yesterday I think,

426
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: you know, spac Nollack got the better of him. But

427
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 1: last three, I don't know about the bag. Yeahs bag

428
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: little empty right now. But all right, look we're gonna

429
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: take our first break. It's twelve fifty. We're in a

430
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 1: SWBC studios. This is the players Lounge. When we get back,

431
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk a little bit about that, just seeing

432
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: how his game went. I mean, we know it wasn't

433
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: the most successful game for him, but we're gonna talk

434
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: about his performance and our thoughts on that. So catch

435

485
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: a high level right now. But let's get back to

486
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: this Cowboys game. Man, Let's get back to it. We

487
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 1: gotta take our medicine. So look, I mean two of

488
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 1: the last three games Broncos Atlanta and now Kansas City.

489
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: Two of the last three, which I'm saying Bronchos in

490
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: Kansas City, Dak Prescott has not been his usual that

491
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 1: we've seen so far this season. I mean, usually he's

492
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: extremely efficient, he gets the ball out well. His past

493
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: placement to the wide receivers is amazing. He's making great

494
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,479
Speaker 1: decisions out there. But two of these last three, it's

495
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: been a little shaky. Now with the Broncos, you know,

496
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna chalk that up to being rusty a little bit.

497
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: You know, he was injured that calf was two weeks out.

498
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: You know, it was his first game back from that injury.

499
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: So I'm chocked it up to a little bit of rust.

500
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: But this game coming up, or this game that we

501
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: just played, I understand he didn't have you know, right

502
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,959
Speaker 1: Cooper out there, but for the first half he had

503
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: CD Lamb. He still has, said Wilson who who was

504
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: bawling um this season so far? He had Gallup who

505
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: last weeginning against Atlanta looked like he was fresh and

506
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: ready to come back and ball and take over his responsibilities.

507
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: He still has Zeek back there. What was your thoughts

508
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: on Dak's performance against this Kansas City defense, who we

509
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: knew going into the game wasn't the best defense overall. Listen,

510
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: I would say this about Kansas City's defense. I think

511
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: their last four they were giving up like twelve points

512
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: a game, all right, so hictions so yeah, so so

513
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 1: they had been playing better, I think. Um, So let

514
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 1: me go back to where you said it was a

515
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: rough thing with with the Denver Broncos not not buying it. Okay,

516
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: he had off game, off game against the Broncos everybody

517
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: had off game. We've seen him be out more more

518
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: time than that and come back and look fresh. All right,

519
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: Tampa game, all right, came out look fresh. Um. So yeah,

520
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: I don't when I'm looking at the Kanna City game,

521
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: I think we've seen over the last few weeks his

522
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: deep ball has been off. Sometimes it has the rock,

523
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: you know. I see. I can remember a few to

524
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb where he's overthrowing them. Him and Michael Gallup

525
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: usually have this connection to where they can complete the

526
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: deep pass, and it didn't happen this game. So I

527
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: think he just had another bad game. I think the

528
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: offense in general had had another bad game. And I

529
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: also think that we were pressing because, like I said,

530
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's lacking confidence in our defense

531
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 1: or the fact that he was like, hey man, they

532
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: didn't stopped them so many times. Eventually, they're gonna give

533
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: up something that's gonna put this game away. So we

534
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: have to try to figure out a way to get

535
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 1: get some chunk yards. So I do think he was

536
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: pressing a little bit. But it's hard for you to

537
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: be able to really operate at your maximum potential when

538
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: your offensive line is not giving you the time that

539
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: you usually have that is usually in a clean pocket.

540
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: He's usually able to get through some reads. And also

541
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: he usually has his top three receivers all right, at

542
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: least two of the least two of them two of them,

543
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: so at least has two of them. He didn't have

544
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: that yesterday. And I think moving forward, if we don't

545
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: find a way to help him out by the ring

546
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: game and opening up the boot passes and the waggles

547
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: and getting in some manufactured deep deep shots instead of

548
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: just hey man, we're gonna shotgun it. See if they

549
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: can win outside one on one and just let it roll,

550
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: then I think we're gonna we're gonna struggle. Yeah, so yeah,

551
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: so we just need to figure out a way to

552
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: help him out. We know the offensive line is lacking

553
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: a little bit. We may be without Ceedee Lamb, and

554
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: we already without Amari Cooper. So we're gonna have to

555
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: find a way to make that ring game work. Yeah,

556
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: We're definitely gonna have to. We're gonna have to get

557
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: back to that to that balanced approach where you know,

558
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: Zeke and Poler get their carries, Dack flows the ball.

559
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: Maybe twenty to twenty five times around that rim. If

560
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: we get to that, I think that's when we're at

561
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 1: our best. But in this game, I was. I was

562
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: a little bit surprised at his performance out there, and

563
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: it started early. It started early when he had galloping,

564
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 1: like you just said, him and gallop on the deep ball.

565
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: The usually on that same wavelength. So I don't know

566
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: if it's you know, because gallup missed so much time,

567
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: but he had to get beat and they were playing

568
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: some form of cover two or it was just an

569
00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: amazing break by the safety out of the middle of

570
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: But he usually hits that, usually hits that gallop instride.

571
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: He's gonna make a play. He might even score, because

572
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: all he had to do was beat wan Thornhill right there,

573
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,959
Speaker 1: but he missed him, overshot him by mouth. I mean

574
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: the other plays out there we were looking at. I

575
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: mean that that deep ball interception to where when they

576
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 1: when they got the interest that they got, I think

577
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: it was cursed with the interception, or maybe it was

578
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: a force pump up by Parsons, but we got it

579
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: in Kansas City's territory were right there. We should have

580
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 1: had at the very least walked out of there with

581
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: three points. Going into halftime. But you know, one on

582
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 1: want coverage and when you and that. I don't blame

583
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: him for the decision to go to Ceedee Lamb, But

584
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 1: to me, it was the ball placement. It was just

585
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: too far inside. He gave his receiver no opportunity to

586
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: at least back the ball down or trying to make

587
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: a play for him. It was left inside and the

588
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: arm strength just wasn't there. Now, I don't know if

589
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: it was you know, maybe just fatigue or you know,

590
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 1: he was just had like you just like you said,

591
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: he just had an off day. I'll definitely give a

592
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: little bit of blame to that, the offensive line for

593
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 1: making him run around and basically run for his life

594
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: that entire game. But I don't know. Do you think

595
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: it was a little bit of the hype of this

596
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: game getting too much for him as to this stack

597
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: versus you know, Patrick Mahomes elite quarterback versus elite quarterback.

598
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 1: Do you think that kind of got him pressing out

599
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 1: there to try to make you know, big plays and

600
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: big throws and that kind of threw him off his game.

601
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, the hype might have gotten

602
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: to him a little bit. Yeah, I think he was

603
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: pressing just just because you know, we were behind. The

604
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: offense wasn't moving, and he was looking for that that

605
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: momentum change, right that that like if that pass is completed,

606
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: the entire momentum of the change. He was looking for that,

607
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: which we should be at that point establishing a some

608
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: type of long drive. At that point, mar our own

609
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: territory defense just made a big play. We should be

610
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: fine because I think if you look at some of

611
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 1: these deep passes, a lot of those are happening on

612
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: like first down, like first it's like first down chunking

613
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 1: fitting and see what we got to see what happen.

614
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 1: It's not behind the sticks, but it's behind the sticks

615
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: when your office is not playing that, when your officsive

616
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,360
Speaker 1: line is not playing that well. You want to get

617
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: into second and six and then manage you know what

618
00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying. You don't want to be a second and

619
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: ten somebody second and ten and you just had to

620
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: run the ball. You get three yards clouded up. Then

621
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 1: you sit in third and seven and you gotta put

622
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 1: the ball in the air. And that's when Kansas City

623
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 1: came alive defensively, when they had him in those third

624
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: and seven, third and tens. They knew they couldn't run

625
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: the ball. So that's when spack Nolah started coming up

626
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: with all these different type of disguises, and Chris Jones

627
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: and Frank Clark they started eating because they all they

628
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: had to do was like, look, they ain't gonna run

629
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 1: the ball, Let's put our ears back and let's get

630
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: after it. So I mean, Kansas City they definitely had

631
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,479
Speaker 1: a great combination because sometimes when Dak was back there,

632
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 1: he had a lot of time, but Kansas City Secondary

633
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: was covering deep or when he had a guy open,

634
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: Chris Jones or Frank Clark was coming in quick. So

635
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: I think the Russian cover worked well together. But I'm

636
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: with you a little bit on this one. Dak Prescott

637
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: to me, he I don't want to say, you know,

638
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: he just you know, just toss it off as he

639
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: had a bad game, because this is two out of

640
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: the three, so I'm not worried yet. But if we

641
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: go into this Raiders game without a Namari Cooper, without

642
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: a cdee lamb, this guy's getting paid seventy five mills

643
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: this year. He should be a leading to win these

644
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: type of games. This one's gonna be tough coming into

645
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: twit the Raiders without your top dogs out there, and

646
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: if he can't come through for this team and get

647
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: him a victory, I can see that snowball effect happening. Man, Okay,

648
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: I'll say this with that. I think it just depends

649
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: on let's say we do lose the game, and all

650
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: to me, it depends on how you lose the game,

651
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: all right, all right, because if you go out like

652
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: the Packers went out yesterday, I'm not blaming that on

653
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgerson Rodgers having a bad game. Your defense didn't

654
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: find a way to make the play at the end

655
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: of the game. So I think it depends on that.

656
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: I am going to jump this up to listen back human,

657
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: He's human. For the first one, five or six, the

658
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: dude looked unreal coming back from injury. I mean looked unreal.

659
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: All Right, he's gonna it's seventeen seventeen game season. He's

660
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: gonna have a couple of bad ones, all right. I

661
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: hope it's I hope it's behind us. I hope it's

662
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: behind us. But I'm not worried about dak Man. I

663
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: think the biggest thing, the most important thing for this

664
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys team is to get healthy. We are at this

665
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: at this point right now, we were missing our two

666
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: top receivers, we're missing our top offensive linemen, and we're

667
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: missing top two defensive linemen on defense. We're listening Neville Gallimore,

668
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. We're missing a lot of

669
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: pieces at this point. And then it's unfortunate that we

670
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: have three games in twelve eights. But I think once

671
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: we get healthy, if we get healthy, I think that's

672
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: when you can really look at this team and say, Okay,

673
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: if we're not performing how we're supposed to, then then

674
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: you should be worried. Right now when we're trying to patch,

675
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: do patchwork and find find the right old line combination

676
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: where you're putting new guys in. Now you got still

677
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: next to the like it's right now. We're just trying

678
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: to figure out a way to get through these uh

679
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: through these next two games. Not worried. I think we'll

680
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: be okay. Hopefully. Kelly Moore is thinking the same way

681
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: we're thinking of Hey, the best way to put our

682
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: imprint on this game is to run the ball down

683
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: Las Vegas' throat. You have to run the ball. If

684
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: you don't you're gonna find yourself in situations where you're

685
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: gonna be depending on Wilson's Brown to make some plays

686
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: to change the game. And that's just not who we

687
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: are exactly. That's not who we are. And look, man,

688
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: I'm with you on this one. I mean, because we're

689
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: not gonna lose this division. I mean, I know the

690
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: Eagles they've won too straight. I think Washington's won too

691
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: straight as well. But they're not gonna catch it. I'm

692
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: not gonna tell you. Listen, you think, you know, you

693
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: think it's a round. I think the thing that I think,

694
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: the thing that stands in our way of winning this

695
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: division is health. I think if we don't find a

696
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: way to get healthy, we see this Tyrant Smith thing happening. Okay,

697
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: when we played the Eagles last time, what was Hardgrave

698
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: right on the right, right up in the middle. Okay, Okay,

699
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: And whatever we say about the Washington football team defense,

700
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: they hadn't played well. That's the same way we thought

701
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: about Kansas City. Yeah. And then all of a sudden,

702
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: these teams in our division are picking up some dubs.

703
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: We got New York Johns playing to night all right.

704
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: The teams are starting to play better. So this is

705
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: not a good time for us to say, hey man,

706
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: we could just toss out two or three games, because

707
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: we don't want it to be that interesting. At the end,

708
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: who we are fighting against is the Arizona Cardinals and

709
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers to try to lock up the

710
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: number one seat if we do not find a way

711
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: to stay healthy, which is a lot is out of

712
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: our control. But I think that's the one thing that

713
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: can stop us from one in this division. All Right,

714
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: you heard it here first, man, let's take our second break.

715

718
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about this defense. I mean, the boys

719
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: was bawling out there, especially number eleven Michael Parsons. So

720
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: when we get back on a breakdown, is defense a

721
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: little bit? But like I said, is f WBC Studios

786
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:07,399
Speaker 1: let's get let's get back to this Cowboys Kansas City

787
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: matchup that they just had on Sunday. And look, we

788
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: broke down an offense. You know, we took the medicine.

789
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: You know, the offensive line played terrible. That was a

790
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 1: little rusty out there. Receivers dropping passes left and right,

791
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 1: and you can't do that in no type of game.

792
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: It's too big of a moment for you to go

793
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: out there. We can't beat ourselves. We gotta go out

794
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,439
Speaker 1: there and make the plays that we know these guys

795
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 1: can make. But let's put the offense over there somewhere

796
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: in the corner and let's go ahead and give this

797
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: defense some flowers. I mean, look this, this team, this defense,

798
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 1: who I thought for sure was gonna struggle without their

799
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,280
Speaker 1: two top dogs. You ain't have Randy Gregory, you didn't

800
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: have the Marcus Lawrence out there, No Neville Gallamore. They

801
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: had to find guys to go out there and make

802
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: the pass rush and that is exactly what they did.

803
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: Parsons coming off the edge. Basham went out there and

804
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: got him a fumble recovery. Was playing well. Duran's armstrong

805
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: who quietly has been playing with these past couple of weeks,

806
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: getting pressure up the middle off the edge. He's like

807
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,399
Speaker 1: a Swiss Army knife out there. Man. I just can't

808
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: say enough about this defense. They're finding ways to take

809
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: the football away and get it back to their offense

810
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,919
Speaker 1: and letting them do what they do best and score points. Unfortunately,

811
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 1: they weren't able to do that in Kansas City because

812
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: they got the ball back for our offense twice in

813
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: Kansas City territory, and all we were able to do

814
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: was muster up three points. But Danny, what are your

815
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: thoughts on this dan Quinn defense. I'm gonna give it

816
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: to you because you've been calling it since March. We

817
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: need to get this dude. He can make this defense

818
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:33,800
Speaker 1: do a one eighty. What are your thoughts on the

819
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: game for Kansas City? Listen, listen, whatever happens, I know

820
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: all the players are gonna say, listen, their defense played

821
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: better than our hours because and we would have held

822
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: them to eight points, we would have won the game.

823
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 1: But but the reality of the situation is the defense

824
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 1: played out standing out They played out standing like like

825
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,399
Speaker 1: we mentioned, there was a point in the game where

826
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: they got five straight stops and the Cowboys office start

827
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: going three and out. They might get six plays and

828
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: the defenses right back there on the field stops. You

829
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: get two turnovers. Right pick on Kelsey from what was

830
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 1: being thrown to Kelsey, he bobbles it a little bit,

831
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: tips and overthrows. I gotta get those. Michael Parsons comes

832
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: in man shout, comes in there, and the speed is unreal.

833
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: It's no way in the world. Patrick Homes like, ain't

834
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: no way this dude catching me. Let me go for

835
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: you know it? Sack force bumble on third down Cowboys

836
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: Hill Kansas City four of twelve we have been top

837
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 1: of the league, and third down last week was one

838
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,879
Speaker 1: of eleven four last entire year when you've been top

839
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,720
Speaker 1: of the league, last week we were a top fifteen defense.

840
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 1: All right, if you look if this, I believe this firmly.

841
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 1: If our offense comes to play, how they can't, how

842
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: they know they can't, right, and we're playing from even

843
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 1: or ahead, and we're forcing Kansas City to have to

844
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: make some plays in order to win that game. I

845
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: think the defense comes out and they put their foot

846
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: on the neck of these guys and they make a

847
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: statement and say, hey, we're here. We held them, dude

848
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: to nineteen points in Kansas City, and you could tell

849
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 1: that the Kansas City offense had no idea what to

850
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 1: do with parsons. They had no idea what to do

851
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,399
Speaker 1: with our what our dbs. I will say the one

852
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: weak point, which is is continuing to show up for

853
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 1: our defenses the runs to the edge, specifically this game,

854
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: the left edge it was, and it's just a simple

855
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: thing that can be taught of. Hey, don't peek inside. Right,

856
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,399
Speaker 1: you're peeking inside too early to try to make a play. Wait,

857
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: hero back he wrote ball and then you keep seeing

858
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: guys st around the left edge. But I think overall,

859
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 1: our entire defense played great. Two more turnovers for us,

860
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: We held him, held him down on third down, We

861
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 1: got stops when we needed to. We just could not

862
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: find a way to put us together with the offense.

863
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna give d Q another shout out his

864
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 1: old coaching staff and the players, but leaving in the

865
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 1: process and get the hands leaving in the process, and

866
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: like I said, they are continu you win because you know,

867
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes last week had four hundred and fifty yards

868
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 1: he did to us after us, everybody thought he was

869
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: he was on his way, He's back, get back, and

870
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 1: he ran into the Cowboys defense who was continued to

871
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 1: get better and better each week. And if they continue

872
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: to play that way and they continue to get healthy,

873
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: watch out for this defense. This is something that you

874
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: can lean on going into a playoff run and say, hey,

875
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 1: we don't care what offense we're playing against. We know

876
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: the our defense to come up and they even they

877
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: give up points, they're gonna get some turnovers, they're gonna

878
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 1: stop you on third down, and they're gonna make big

879
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: plays when they need you to help our offense get

880
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 1: back in the game. Well, I'm gonna tell you this.

881
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you a guy that if he continues

882
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: to play the way he's playing, this guy, this guy's

883
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 1: a limit. And you know who I'm talking about. I'm

884
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 1: talking about Michael Parsons. So we're gonna get let's narrow

885
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: this thing down. Yes, the defense played amazing as a

886
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: whole entire group. The communication was great out there. The

887
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 1: secondary put a top on everything. You didn't see Tyreek

888
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: Hill busting up the seams for seventy five yards or

889
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: catching a bomb and you know, getting all these big plays.

890
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 1: The defense did a great job out there of limiting

891
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: those big plays to Kelsey and Tyreek Hill. Yes, they're

892
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: gonna get there's a little bit here there. They mean,

893
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,240
Speaker 1: they get paid to the two of the best offensive

894
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 1: players in the National Football League, So yeah, they're gonna

895
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:11,359
Speaker 1: get there is here and there. But overall, I think

896
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: they did a great job of communicating and settling down

897
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 1: and making sure they didn't give up the big play.

898
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 1: But back to Michael Parsons, this guy, I said, I

899
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: haven't seen the biggest bigger impact since DA's Brian. But

900
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: when I'm telling this guy, he didn't even play football

901
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 1: last year. He opted out of Penn State. He came

902
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 1: in here and he's making it such a huge impact

903
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:35,399
Speaker 1: on both the linebacker the second level, and I would

904
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 1: even argue that he's making a bigger impact on the

905
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,919
Speaker 1: defensive line. I mean, this guy, I thought, for sure, Okay,

906
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: he'll come in for a little packages here and there.

907
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:44,720
Speaker 1: He's not big enough to go there and be defensive

908
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: end the whole time, he's gonna get worn down. But

909
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: the guy has been out there and he's just too

910
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 1: quick for these people out there. You see the quick

911
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 1: twitch emotional. We talked about it earlier when the guy

912
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: was able to bend the corner and chase down my Homes.

913
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: I mean, my Homes isn't the fastest, but he can

914
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 1: run a little bit. You're run away. Yeah, he was

915
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: run away. We've seen it happened before, but this guy

916
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: tracked him down. And not only did he track him down,

917
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 1: you could just tell how much of a playmaker this

918
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 1: guy is. And I credit Dware a little bit because

919
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,919
Speaker 1: he was working with Dware in the offseason. He's seen

920
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: the guy. He didn't go in there and just make

921
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: the regular sack. He went and didn't go in there

922
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: and just try to trip up the feet of Mahomes.

923
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 1: He went in there knowing lee he had the ball

924
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: on his right side, and he chopped at that thing,

925
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: chopped it down, got the ball out. Huge play for

926
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 1: the defense because it got the ball back for the

927
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: for the offense. I'm not sure if that was a

928
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 1: takeaway they got three points or not, but this guy

929
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: has been playing it lights out. I'm gonna say, defensive

930
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: rookie of the Year, that's a lot. I mean, I

931
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 1: think that's a lot for him. Can you see the

932
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: absolute player of the year. Maybe absolutely, I mean why

933
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 1: why not? When you think about like I said, I

934
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: talked to Sean Lee when I saw him up here,

935
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: and he said, he's never seen a stack linebacker be

936
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: able to do the things that Michael Parcels is doing.

937
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 1: All right, and Sean Lee studies linebacker. Yeah, he's seen

938
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 1: He's seen a lot of guys. And then you like,

939
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: at this point, you're like, man, when is this dude

940
00:42:58,040 --> 00:42:59,919
Speaker 1: gonna hit the rookie wall. That's what I'm I don't

941
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 1: see a wall come. It seems like he comes into

942
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,800
Speaker 1: each and every game with more energy like this, like

943
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: he's a grown man, but he's like a kid out there,

944
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 1: like he's just like he's a kid on Christmas when

945
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,720
Speaker 1: when the gas kicked off, he's like, yeah, football, football,

946
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: And I thought he was gonna I thought he was

947
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: gonna want up it because if you remember, I said,

948
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: I was out there watching practice. I saw the guy

949
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:22,720
Speaker 1: on pump on punt return and he almost like this dude,

950
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: I forgot about that like they like, you know what

951
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 1: part we need a playoffs go ahead and the kid

952
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 1: almost blocked the punt. Man. Listen, the guys playing great also,

953
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: and you know, to accompany him the rest of the

954
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 1: guys when they say next man up. This is a

955
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: next man up type of d without a doubt. And

956
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:46,479
Speaker 1: fortunately the next man up at some point are gonna

957
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 1: be Take Lawrence and they're gonna be Randy Gregor without

958
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:53,280
Speaker 1: and imagine those two with Michael Parsons daring something strong

959
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: like this this man. Imagine those guys at the same

960
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 1: time playing. When you get a total game, it's just

961
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:04,240
Speaker 1: I just got going back to our offense, man, because

962
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 1: I just really want our defense to beat top ten,

963
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: and our offense has to play. You have to. You

964
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: have to at least play. Because the top of possession

965
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: was almost even, which shows which shows that we still

966
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to get some things going. We could

967
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: have random ball a little bit one of the time position,

968
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 1: keep our defens off the field and let them make

969
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 1: those big plays and get it dumb, let's seek play it.

970
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna stay on it all week, y'all

971
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: hear from ya all week. I'm glad I'm glad we

972
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 1: get to get this taste out of our mouth. Yeah,

973
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 1: real quire days, three days and we run a low

974
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: on time. But I gotta get this in real quick

975
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: because you know the game's coming real quick. Three games,

976
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: like you said, fast turnaround Thursday against the Raiders. But

977
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 1: with all these injuries, I mean it's probably what you

978
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: would say, like a ninety percent chance Cooper doesn't play. Yeah,

979
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 1: I would say that about ninety percent chance Cooper doesn't play.

980
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 1: Tai Smith, We're not sure. You know, we thought he

981
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,360
Speaker 1: might be able to play this game. You know it

982
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: didn't happen. I don't know about burns, spurs or bones spurs.

983
00:44:58,080 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 1: I'm not a trainer or anything like that. I'm sure Brown,

984
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 1: Jim Mayer and those guys are gonna get him right.

985
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: But if he doesn't play either. Are you worried about

986
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: this Raiders game and taking an ellen with what it

987
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 1: can do to the season. Yeah, I mean you would

988
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 1: be dumb not to be worried about this game because

989
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: the health of our players. Two is because two out

990
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 1: of last three we have not looked like the Cowboys

991
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season now, so we need

992
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:23,919
Speaker 1: to find a way to consistently get this thing back rolling.

993
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this man, if tyred Smith comes back,

994
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:31,800
Speaker 1: who's playing right tackle? Because don't struggle tune. So it's like,

995
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 1: who I want you to think about what we're talking

996
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 1: about it tomorrow. Yeah, but I'm just saying it's not

997
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,800
Speaker 1: as clear as as as everybody thinks it should be.

998
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: They can say whoever is better than whatever? Turn the

999
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 1: film on. Look at how Terrence still played when he

1000
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:46,839
Speaker 1: was at right tackle, and look at how my man

1001
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 1: LC is playing right now. We're struggling overall, but I

1002
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 1: have a picture in my mind of Terrence still playing.

1003
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 1: Really damn good, A right to five game straight. All right,

1004
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,399
Speaker 1: it was great, another great day another you know, it's

1005
00:45:58,400 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 1: a beautiful day in the metro play. So it's a

1006
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: great day on the here on the players lounge. They

1007
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 1: got Mike shots coming up next. I'm along with you

1008
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 1: on the Raiders game though, because they got some pass

1009
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: rushers Yannick and Gockway Crosby on the side. I mean,

1010
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna definitely test whoever those tackles are on the outside.

1011
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 1: But our time has come to an end. We're here
