Eight eight eight 19 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: eight five five two two nine seven. Rob, you made 20 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: the trip to Seattle. You have a good weekend. I 21 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: mean the CITC Northwest. It's beautiful up there. It's great. 22 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: Took in a college football game. Oh you went to 23 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: the Washington Arizona Show. Yeah, enjoyed that. That was great. 24 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: Love it up there. Those three hours. Not good. Not good. 25 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: I mean some good things, but continuations of problems that 26 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: we saw in Week one that are really hurting this team, 27 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: especially offensively. And Brian brought us was holding down the 28 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: fort here at the Star and you enjoyed his fine 29 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: work pre and post game. And now we hear from 30 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: Brian brought us his first take on what happened. Now. 31 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: I just think there's, like Rob said, there's a lot 32 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: of the same things that happened to this team. I've 33 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: never seen an offense that does more to get in 34 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: its own way as far as they cannot overcome bad 35 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: things that happened to them, you know. And it's whether 36 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: it's a down and distant situation, it's an awareness situation, 37 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: it's a mistake of not blocking a guy, it's a 38 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: drop pass. This offense is just not good enough to 39 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: overcome bad things that happened to them. And there's there's 40 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: teams that take sacks. There's teams that fumble, there's teams 41 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: that take that have interceptions. But when you watch this, 42 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: it's not just the play calling, but there's so many 43 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: things involved when you watch this team and the problems 44 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: that they have. You know, Mickey talks about the protection 45 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: that's a problem, the quarterback not seeing the field, the 46 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: receivers not catching the ball. There's just so many things 47 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: that when they do get a little bit of momentum, 48 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: then something happens to them. They just the negative plays 49 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 1: are just are too much for this offense to even 50 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,239 Speaker 1: overcome their challenged to move the football because of mistakes 51 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 1: that they make. And because they're challenged to move the football, 52 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: it's difficult to overcome mental mistakes that occur. Yeah. Well, 53 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: and they had far too many of those. Uh you know, 54 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: Brian mentioned it. You have three or four drop passes, Yeah, 55 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: two of them end up being intercepted. You run the 56 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: ball into the red zone, and then you fumble. The 57 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: longest play of the day. You throw a touchdown pass. 58 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: But for some reason, the running back didn't see the 59 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: four foot wide white stripe at the end on the sideline. 60 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: It stepped out of pounds Previously, it's it's it's just 61 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: hard to keep overcoming those things. And then you get 62 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: yourself in situations where Seattle all they gotta do is 63 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: pin their ears back and come at you. You get 64 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: a team that only had three sacks in two games, 65 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: get five five and hit your quarterback ten times. So 66 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 1: if we added up in the two losses, that's eleven 67 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 1: sacks and twenty quarterback hits. It's hard to play football 68 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: that way, and you can't and you know, don't sit 69 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: there and just say, well, Joe Looney's playing center, or 70 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: Connor Williams is the left guard, he's a rookie. It 71 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: was across the board, yeah, across the whole five. Frank 72 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: Clark had himself a day. They moved Frank Clark around yesterday, 73 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: which was really smart on their part because they felt 74 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: like that, really that Lyle Collins is not good enough 75 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 1: as a right tackle to handle him one on one. 76 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: So the smart thing is take him away from a 77 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: guy you feel like, well, he's not gonna win every 78 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 1: battle against Tyrant Smith, but move him over to the 79 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: other side, and you know he made plays over there. 80 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what that you know, It was very 81 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: very clear that they had a plan of how they 82 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: wanted to attack the Cowboys and offensively for the Seattle Seahawks, 83 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: their plan was very clear. They were comfortable running the 84 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: ball for three yards to carry because they saw how 85 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: an FPP the Dallas offense was right. The Dallas offense 86 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: never forced Seattle to change their game plan. One team 87 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: was desperate and committed. The other team was just desperate 88 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: and confused. And that's why that penalty at the end 89 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: of the first half was so critical in this game. 90 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: When when you get behind two scores against a team 91 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: that realizes that it can just run the football because 92 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 1: it's not being pressed by the other team's offense. It 93 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: was almost like they were running the ball to eat 94 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: clock because they certainly knew said Carolina did in the 95 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 1: first week of the season. When there's big there was 96 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: no reason for them to get out of any of 97 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: their mode. I mean it was almost like, uh, you know, 98 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: if you look at the numbers of the game, and 99 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: again I don't always do this this way, but if 100 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: a quarterback is sixteen to twenty six for one ninety two, 101 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: two touchdowns, no interceptions and they wins the game, that's 102 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: kind of Dak Prescott like in twenty sixteen, and one 103 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 1: of one of them was a huge, one huge play 104 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: fifty two yards for a touch exactly. You take that 105 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: away and it's yeah, he's not on the far side 106 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: on the flip side. The losing quarterback was nineteen to 107 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: thirty four for one sixty eight, one touchdown and two interceptions. 108 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: Three turnovers were huge in this game. Mickey talked about 109 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: it is you have the you have the Earl Thomas, uh, 110 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: you know, first one off the ground, basically great job 111 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: of him being in position. Michael Gallup has got to 112 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: catch that foot to see that. That drive, to me 113 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: is symptomatic of the whole thing we talked about. You 114 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 1: people are gonna question the play calling. Okay, here's a drive. 115 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: Second drive of the game. They had a good design. 116 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: On first down, they faker reverse the Tavon handoff to 117 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 1: Zeke seven yards. Good position. Then they go into round 118 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: a Tavon. Okay, they're trying to spread things out. Yeah, 119 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: some time things open up things inside. Yeah, Gallup has 120 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: to make that catch on first and ten and it 121 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: and hey, Earl Thomas teriffic awareness to be able to 122 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: you know, scoop that off. His free actionary player amazing. 123 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: But see, yeah, you're right, Rob, but you to your point. 124 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: It's it was a lot of different things. You know. 125 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: It was drops, it was the Mickey's right, the protection. 126 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: It's not the same offensive line that we saw, you know, 127 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: and it's not just the offensive lineman. The tight ends. 128 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: Zeke did it again. He goes to cut a guy 129 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: and a guy jumps over him and blast her quarterback 130 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: stand up and hit him in the chest. How many 131 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: more times has that got to happen? It affected the 132 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: way that Dak threw the ball to the outside. They 133 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: had Hearns open on the outside and Zeke goes low 134 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: and now the guy's up in Dak's face, and you know, 135 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: if you hit him square, you have a chance. And 136 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: you know, I just go back to the quarterback has 137 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: been struggling with some of his visional some of the reds. 138 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: But what he does on the slant to on the 139 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: slant that Gallop drops, he's looking away to set to 140 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: give Gallop the chance to you know, so the safeties 141 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: will day on one side of the field. So Prescott's 142 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: doing exactly what he has to do to get Gallop open, 143 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: and he puts the ball right where Gallup needs to 144 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: catch it, and you know everybody knows the result. But 145 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: here's here's a play call. Here is a execution on 146 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: the quarterback's behalf to help you. But the Finnish is horrendous, right, 147 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: So okay, how are you you want to know why 148 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: this offense is not any good play call, execution, finish. 149 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: None of them seem to work for this football team 150 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,319 Speaker 1: offensively right now? You know, Mickey brought it up and 151 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: Zekiel running out of balance, and Garrett says, well, he's 152 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: a very aware player. I understand. I mean he gets wide, 153 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: he gets wide, he gets white, he keeps getting wide, 154 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 1: and then he's gonna burst to try and make the 155 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: turn up the field. But Dak is yeah, Dak is 156 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: coming to him. And now it's like and once again 157 00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: what happens. Play breaks down, quarterback figures it out, athletically 158 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 1: gets to the outside. Okay, here we go, play call, execution, finish. 159 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: The finish is your is your running back? Who you 160 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: who you trust to win games for you? Steps out 161 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: of bounds? Is it a mistake? Yeah? Is it a 162 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: minital mistake. It's an awareness mistake, he said it. I 163 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: had terrible awareness on that play and the worst part 164 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: he didn't know where he was. Yeah, and the worst 165 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: part is it's it's it nullifies the play. Yeah, but 166 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: it's not a penalty where you get the down over. 167 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: It got to kick a field goal and you can't 168 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: be kicking field goals. And then the other problem in 169 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: what's been going on, and it goes back to what 170 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: I wrote on Friday. This defense had to continue playing 171 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: well to buy the offense time. And they have two 172 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: busted coverages which they just can't afford. And then the 173 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: Randy Gregory brain fart at the end of the half. 174 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: Although having watched warm ups, Janikowski would have blasted a sixty. 175 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 1: But this is where you also you take a chance. 176 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: You know, you're giving him fifteen yards. You're saying, okay, 177 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 1: you're a Hall of Fame kicker and you probably are 178 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: gonna make a seventy yard field goal or whatever. This guy, 179 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: he's you know, he's rare. He's he's like that guy 180 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 1: the cornerback from the Redskins that played for forty years, 181 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: you know that Green, Daryl Green. These guys that you 182 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: look at him and you go no way, and and 183 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: it's gonna be But don't judge this Lake Lake strength 184 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: by his shape. But but that's what I'm saying, don't 185 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: give him fifteen yards yards because he makes that. He 186 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: makes that every single time. It was a momentum play 187 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: too for Seattle, and they get the park started by 188 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 1: Seattle Joey Hunt the Joey TCU hornenfrog. It was a 189 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 1: smart play. That was the only way they were gonna 190 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: get fifteen yards on that particular play. Bade him into 191 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: doing something and they did it. Yeah, but that just 192 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: shows you. You know, we talked about it to discipline too. 193 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: You know, we talked about this blind you're gonna have 194 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 1: to play. But Seattle, they played. Seattle played exactly how 195 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: they wanted to play. Yesterday they played exactly how they 196 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: want to play, and they protected the quarterback. They did 197 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 1: a better job of that. They'd given up a dozen 198 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: sacks and they're two lots, but there was always get two. 199 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: You gave him no reason, you you know, you didn't 200 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: put him in situations the guy went back to twenty 201 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: six times. You know, you didn't put him in a a 202 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 1: situation where he had to throw the ball thirty eight 203 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: forty times. You're so right, though, I mean, Carson gets 204 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: thirty two carries in this game for only one hundred 205 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: and two yards. But but Brian Schottenheimer did the smart thing. 206 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: He this is what you always talk about, know the 207 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: condition of your team. He knew Dallas offensively was not 208 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: going to do anything. He saw that, and so it's 209 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: real easy for for Pete Carroll to click over and 210 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: say run it here, run it, run it again, and 211 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: just keep doing that. And what happened? What did he do? 212 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 1: He had he had three new starters inside into the 213 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: interior offensive line, right. He not only did Schottenheimer protect 214 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: his offense, he protected his to his offensive line, he 215 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: protected his quarterback as well, especially when Dallas has the 216 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: length of the field to drive offensively. I mean, and 217 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,319 Speaker 1: which is why that roughing the passer penalty on Tyrone 218 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: Crawford on the third offensive play for Seattle, which critical 219 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,319 Speaker 1: in the first quarter of that game, because and now 220 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,079 Speaker 1: Dallas needs to get off the field. Have to overcome 221 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,439 Speaker 1: that adversity and get them off the field. But if 222 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: they're punning on that after that third down playoff, they 223 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: don't throw the flag on that, cowboys are getting the 224 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,199 Speaker 1: ball at the forty their own forty yard line instead 225 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: of they wound up getting it at their own fifteen yard. 226 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: There was a time where his team could be able 227 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: to drive the example, and they don't do that anymore. 228 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: Two years ago they could do that's right. Here's another example. 229 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: First drive of the third quarter, get a holding penalty 230 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: on the return or punt return. Then Rico gets a 231 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: false start, and all of a sudden, you're at second 232 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: and fifteen at your own six. After Zeke gets stopped 233 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 1: for no game, Tyron gives up a sack. I mean, 234 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: it's when when an offense struggles this much, it's always 235 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: a lot of different things except that Atlanta game. Then 236 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 1: they have a situation where they had Rico jumped off sides. Yes, 237 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: that's the play, and they completed They completed a pass. 238 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: Thompson got a ten got ten yard game. Okay, so 239 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: now you're thinking if it's first and ten or second ten, Okay, 240 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: they've got the they've got the yard, they've got it. 241 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: They got a first down with the ten yard pass, 242 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: but they come up five yards short a third and five, 243 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 1: they have a third five. Now they're having to throw 244 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: the football and they get the sack. Like this is 245 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: just I wrote about that last night. This is just 246 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 1: typical of what this offense is right now. It can't 247 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: it can't help itself. There's no you know, the one 248 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: energy plays that it the energy plays that it has 249 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 1: is generally when they get the ball to number ten, 250 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: that's the one guy that's got some juice, the kind 251 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: of got going they get. They get the jet sweeper 252 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: eighteen yards poom, everybody's blocking up front. I mean, he 253 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: gives you a little juice. And there's no other jew 254 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: a spark that's happening with this team offensively, And it 255 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: shows you how weird the game was. Zeke ran the 256 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 1: ball very well, I mean seven point nine yards a pop, 257 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: but he also just hurts you so bad in the game. 258 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: You know, that's the irony of it. Was he I 259 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 1: mean he admitted it. He thought he well, he thought 260 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: they'd cost him the game. I wouldn't go that far, 261 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: but they left maybe at least a touchdown, maybe ten 262 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: points on the board right there, with a couple of mistakes, 263 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: not to mention a third down that he might have 264 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: completed on third and nine, might have I went back. 265 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: It was there. It was It was Kendricks. Was it 266 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: Kendrick Kendricks, And I mean he was on the upfield hip, 267 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be if you the ball's out in front, 268 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: and if he catches it, he breaks that tackle, it's 269 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: an easy first. But if he if Kendricks makes that tack, 270 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: which is probably what's gonna happen because his offense can't 271 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: get a break, you know it's gonna be four yards short. 272 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: But I'll take my chances throwing the ball to Zekiel 273 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: Elliott on the move. But what happens. He had the 274 00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: crazy Tony Dorset hands and he's usually he could Yeah, 275 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: and everybody, everybody's like, get him involved in the passing game, 276 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: get him involve the passing game. Okay, you're trying to 277 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: get him involved the passing game. You know you're trying. 278 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: And that happens. Now you're like, but does that mean 279 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: you stop trying to get him involved? No, But gosh, 280 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: it just makes you think, like, Okay, who else can 281 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: I throw it to? If my best players not making plays? 282 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: Who is going to make plays? Who is Jeff Swayin 283 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: went five catches, and a lot of that was, Hey, 284 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: we got to get the ball out quick. Let's get 285 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: it out first read, Let's go to sway Let's try 286 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: to get in a manageable situation here on third down 287 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: and Seattle did, which is the boy to get into 288 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: a rhythm, right? You know? You know Cole Beasley was 289 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: interesting after the game. He's talking about communication issues that 290 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: they're talking. Yeah, I mean communications as far as not 291 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: hearing on the outside or oh no, I think that 292 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: the problems that they're having offensively related to communication issue. 293 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: And I don't know. I just heard the SoundBite. I 294 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: didn't hear the full context of it. Didn't But I'm 295 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: wondering where. I wonder if he's going crowd because we 296 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: didn't mean crowd. Let everybody not on the same page. 297 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: As far as the past execution, the passing, well, that's 298 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: in a terrible indictment of what's going on then in 299 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: those meetings. If that's the case, and I don't know 300 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: if that's if that's what he means, that's a terrible indictment. 301 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: Right least they didn't try to be twelve men on 302 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: the field twice and twice twice. This again goes back 303 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: to the offense. You get a break, it's third and six, 304 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: you get twelve minut on the field. Now you're third 305 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: and one. I'll take Zeke Gillett running the ball for 306 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: third and one every time chuck for two hundred police 307 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: and they got and they got stuff. No, they don't 308 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: block Bobby Wagner. How did he not talk him? How 309 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: do you not block their best player? See, that's what 310 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: I'm saying. And it looked like to me that maybe 311 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: that once again, you know, and I'm not pointing to 312 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: figure here, but just looking at scheme that everybody's down 313 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: blocking but Lyle Collins and they're trying to get the 314 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: they're trying to get Jeff swam around the corner to 315 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: maybe trap or log that guy in press could have 316 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: pulled the ball and then gone forward for a yard, 317 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: you know, if he wanted to. Earl Thomas was sitting there, 318 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: but they there was some confusion on the outside between 319 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: Swaying and hearns what was going on over there. But 320 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: you don't block Bobby Wagner and he runs through for 321 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: no game. Okay, I thought about you in that play. 322 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: I was like, mic linebacker right, got identify him because 323 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: he was the one guy that can make the tackle 324 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: at the point of attack. And so you're saying, okay, 325 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 1: it's how many times the third and one handed to 326 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,120 Speaker 1: Zeke first down? Should be automatic first down. How many 327 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 1: times now this team can't even block the damn mic 328 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: linebacker to get a first down and they catch a 329 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: break on a twelve minute on the field, right, Not 330 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: third and six, it's third and one.

How about 435 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: we start this segment off with a phone call from 436 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: Palmer in Georgia. Palmer, you're up on Talking Cowboys? All right, gentlemen, 437 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 1: I've got a theory on this whole quarterback thing. Okay. 438 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 1: Tony Romo's last year the play clock away. He always 439 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: snapped the ball with one or two seconds lap, and 440 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 1: there were a lot of people crying, why aren't they 441 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: running the ball, especially in the red zone. Well, I 442 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 1: think everyone's conclusion was that Tony was check now to 443 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 1: run plays into throwing plays. I think it's time to 444 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: put the handcuffs back on Dak. Dak's first year, the 445 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 1: ball was always snapped with ten or more second left 446 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 1: on the play cut he was actually running the play 447 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: that was called. I think that. I think if he 448 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: ran every play that was called yesterday, I think it 449 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: would have at least looked a little bit better. I 450 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 1: just think it's time to put him back in kindergarten 451 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: and just take put the handcuffs back on. That's my theory. Hell, 452 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: I don't even know if that would work. That's aw 453 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: you do that, Thank you Palmer. Sorry I was confused. 454 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,719 Speaker 1: He doesn't want Dak to have the ability to check 455 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: to check. He feels like and if you talk to 456 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: some NFL people around the league about that the first year, 457 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: that and there's coaches that will say, it's kind of 458 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: nice to have a rookie quarterback. So because a rookie 459 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: quarterback never qu since your call. A rookie quarterback just 460 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: runs the play whatever you And there's some guys around 461 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 1: the league with veteran quarterbacks, you know, it's just a 462 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 1: really good example. But he's really good at it. Is 463 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: the guy down in New Orleans, you know, and he's 464 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 1: really good at getting in and out of place. But 465 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 1: there's something too. Play callers kind of like a guy 466 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: that will say, Okay, I'm not gonna question what you're 467 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: gonna call. I mean, I'm not going to the quarterback. 468 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 1: It's not gonna question what I'm gonna call. I'm gonna 469 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,439 Speaker 1: call this play and we're gonna see if we can 470 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 1: execute it. But I don't know if necessarily, if it's 471 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: Dak changing plays at the line, not be that every time. 472 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: I don't think so every time. But I mean he 473 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: threw out a theory and we'll need to see that. 474 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: That's it's a thought. And we did talk about that 475 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: in the press box. It's like, all right, this is 476 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: down to one second and they know exactly when the 477 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:44,399 Speaker 1: ball is gonna be. It helps him get off this 478 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 1: off the ball. There is something too. I had some 479 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: people on Twitter and you guys watch the game too. 480 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: Are they tipping their snap count? Though with a touch 481 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 1: from Zack Martin, a head turn from Joe Looney and 482 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:03,120 Speaker 1: then the snap or or or or guys good enough 483 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: on the defensive line to kind of go into a 484 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 1: game and say, Okay, when I see Joe Looney turn, 485 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: I'm going you know, I'm just asking this question, Clark. 486 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just asking today. Yeah, because he jumped 487 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 1: the count one time against him against Tyren Smith, not 488 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: the sack, but one time before the Tyron Smith, just 489 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: being the athlete he is, was able to get enough 490 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 1: of him to lyle Prescott to step up in the 491 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 1: pocket a little bit. But I wonder if if you 492 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: want to tell me that maybe that dat needs to 493 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: play with the snap count a little bit more. I'll 494 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: buy into that, because there's there was several times where 495 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:44,160 Speaker 1: I saw him frantically going to the line of trying 496 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 1: to get and and then I looked up and it's like, well, 497 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 1: wait a minute, there's fourteen seconds left, right, what's the 498 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: hurry slow down? I don't but see what happens. It's 499 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: not like he's going up to the line of scrimmage 500 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: when he changes the call and he has the roller 501 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: decks of plays when they give them that play they've practiced. Okay, 502 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 1: if you don't like this, look, then check to this. 503 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: It's not like he's just going through his mind and going, well, 504 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 1: let me try this. That stuff's all pre planned. Now 505 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: he is he making the wrong decision getting out of 506 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: a run to throw the ball, or getting out of 507 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 1: a throw to run the ball. That's maybe what's going on, 508 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: But I don't know in that environment, I'm not checking 509 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,160 Speaker 1: a lot of place. That's just me. I'm not going 510 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: in with the idea of like, Okay, I'm gonna sit 511 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: here and just go through while my tackles can't hear, 512 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 1: my receivers can't hear. I mean, my backs can't hear. 513 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 1: I'm not going in there with the idea of doing that. 514 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: So I understand his question. But I think to Mickey's 515 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: point is it's not every single down that you're seeing 516 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 1: him do this. You know, I just don't. Can I 517 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 1: throw out one more thing offensively? That surprised me, you guys, 518 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: surprised that the lack of his own read looks in 519 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: the game. As I went back and watched it this morning, 520 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 1: the first one I saw was eleven fifty three left 521 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 1: to go in the game. Oh, they the one where 522 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: he pulled it that one way. He had a couple 523 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 1: of them where they actually Zeke's one of Zeke's seven 524 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:20,920 Speaker 1: yard runs, Yeah, was a was a was a read option. Yeah, 525 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 1: and he and he and he, I could said on 526 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: the third and one on the first series, he could 527 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: have pulled the ball and doe for the first down 528 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: on that one. Instead, he trusted that Zeke could come 529 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: how get past Bobby Wagner. I just didn't notice much 530 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 1: of it in the game compared to last No, I'm 531 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: I'm almost a half. You know. We got the film 532 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 1: late and I was in this morning after parent teacher conferences, 533 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: and I I've noticed, though not as prevalent so far 534 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: as what it was last week, and it was pretty effective. Now, 535 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: maybe that can they can see things like at the 536 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and say, oh, this is not a 537 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 1: good situation. Well enough, y'all of a sudden you have 538 00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: a safety walk. And then they had the safety walk 539 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: and down. The other day they played a lot of 540 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 1: single safety high with Earl by himself. But they still 541 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 1: ran for one hundred and sixty seven yards. Did that 542 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: was not a problem averages eight yards a carry. Running 543 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 1: the ball wasn't the problem. Okay, I made the point earlier. 544 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: Was one coordinator committed and the other one not. And 545 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to put the It sounds like I'm 546 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: trying to place the sole blame of this on Lenahan, 547 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 1: and I guarantee you, I'm sorry, Joe and Flower, Mountain, 548 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: Vic and Ventura. I'm not trying to offend you here 549 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: as a fan, but I don't know if you necessary 550 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: and I'm not going to defend Linahan. But I'm saying 551 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,239 Speaker 1: here and I'm asking you guys, did he Were they 552 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 1: not as committed as say Seattle was well? And there 553 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 1: is there time? Should we be more committed now? If 554 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 1: this offensive line is not He threw He threw thirty 555 00:29:55,040 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 1: four passes. Yes, okay, two were in a miserably failed 556 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 1: two minute drill at the end of the first half. 557 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: Right ten came after they were two scores down with 558 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: five minutes left in the game. Last twelve of his 559 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 1: passes came in either two minute drill or desperation with 560 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: five minutes to go, when you're down twenty four thirteen. 561 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: So twelve of the thirty four attempts happened in that situation. 562 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: Otherwise you had thrown twenty two passes and you ran 563 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: it sixteen times. So those numbers get skewed because of 564 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 1: the situation. But he but he he had good enough 565 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: balanced in for you guys, and is that what is 566 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: is that what you're trying to just saying majure half 567 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: a third of his passes came when they were in 568 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: situations where I think I think it was very similar 569 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: both teams commitment to the run and myself. Okay, when 570 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 1: you look at Chris Carson, he had ten carries in 571 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter after they were up twenty four or 572 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 1: six ten of us end of his thirty two and 573 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 1: so he had twenty two carries through three quarters of 574 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, and Zeke wound up with sixteen carries 575 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 1: for one hundred and twenty seven whatever. Yep. And I 576 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 1: just think it was very similar as far as their 577 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: commitment to the run. And I think if the Cowboys 578 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: led twenty four to six, Zeke would have had thirty carries. 579 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 1: Zeke would have run the ball for thirty two times, Yeah, exactly. 580 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 1: He might have had when they had the lead right 581 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: after they got kind of it's kind of the same 582 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: principle with with what's talking about the Dallas defense. All right, 583 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: I think some of those numbers are hollow as far 584 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: as the Dallas defense. I'm I'm keeping I'm tapping the 585 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 1: brakes on how great this defense is based on how 586 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 1: poorly this Cowboys offense has been so far, because the 587 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: other teams have not in Carolina and Seattle have not 588 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: had to press the issue on offense. And so let's 589 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: let's wait and see what happened. And this offense is 590 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 1: clearly a handicap for the defense, not not just putting 591 00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: them out there a bunch, but just the fact that 592 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: they scored no point. There's there's very little margin for error, 593 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 1: as Mickey said, a bust or two, and that that 594 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 1: blows the game wide open. Really because now your two 595 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: scores down, as Bill said, that's a that's a huge 596 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 1: lead to overcome the way this offense is playing. Also, 597 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 1: tell me how much time Sean Lee's gonna miss now, 598 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: and you know, anytime you've got recurring hamstring problems the 599 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: second time around for a month, and see what happened. 600 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 1: Laden Banderesh looked like he played pretty well in this game, 601 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:27,959 Speaker 1: But we all know what Sean does in terms from 602 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 1: communications standpoint and getting guys in the right spot and 603 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 1: all that, So I don't know if he would have 604 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: helped the safeties out. Yeah, now, all of a sudden, 605 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: you can't play without Jeff Heath on the field. Speaking 606 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 1: of safeties, how big of a difference was the guy 607 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: for Seattle yesterday? Uh yeah, I don't think you could 608 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: write a better script than what unfolded with Earl and 609 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 1: all the stuff around it yesterday. And Mickey. I know 610 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: what Mickey's gonna say. Well, he's just you know, he's 611 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 1: a safety. He caught a couple he caught a couple 612 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: of balls that were just right there for him. But 613 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: he hasn't That's the thing about him. He has a 614 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: knack for just being around the football and being in 615 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: the right spot and have Michael Gallup drop a pass right, 616 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 1: but he was there to make the play. How many 617 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 1: times have we seen the Cowboys secondary like almost be there. 618 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 1: You know, he's a heck of a player, man, you 619 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: gotta give it to him. I've never seen a guy 620 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 1: so fortunate in my life. How many times did the 621 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 1: second one get tipped before it landed in his hands? Twice? 622 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: It's a heck of a play by Bobby Wagner and 623 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 1: even make it a contested and then Jarwin tries to 624 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 1: bat it down like he's playing. I think he was 625 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: actually trying to bring it in. At first, I thought 626 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: it down to keep it from catch it. But on 627 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: further review, I think he was flailing at it trying 628 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:51,600 Speaker 1: to bring it in. And you have to put yourself 629 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 1: in position to make those plays. And that's where this 630 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: guy instinctually is one of the best to ever play, 631 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 1: because he knows exactly where he needs to be. It 632 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: might not always, uh you know, with him. Uh, he 633 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 1: is a difference maker. And I'm sorry, Mickey, I'll disagree 634 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 1: with you all day. Oh. I think he's a good player, 635 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: but it wasn't he was so great yesterday. He's safety 636 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 1: can make a difference in a football game, and a 637 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 1: safety yesterday made a difference in a football game. The 638 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 1: Cowboys safety's made a difference too. They did. They cost 639 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 1: him to lose. They are asking for it. Man. That 640 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: Bowl though, by Thomas, come on, yeah, that was a 641 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 1: well spent fifteen exactly much better than Randy Gregory's. All right, 642 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: and we're gonna put this to bed after today because now, 643 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 1: I mean Seattle's one and two Cowboys are one in two. 644 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 1: I mean by Seattle, Thomas, he's gonna not practice for 645 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 1: three days a week, so I just get ready for that. 646 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 1: As long as long as he's in Seattle, he's not 647 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 1: going to practice on Wednesday and Thursday and maybe in Friday. 648 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,399 Speaker 1: Did you see his comments after the game basically said yeah, 649 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:02,040 Speaker 1: basically said, I'm protecting myself. I'm protecting my own investment 650 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,800 Speaker 1: and if they won't do it, I will. So is 651 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 1: it our understanding that at the draft a second round 652 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,399 Speaker 1: pick could have got him fifty? Yes, number fifty. Yeah, 653 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 1: and Dallas came back with a good offer for a 654 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 1: second round pick, and just recently here before Earl decided 655 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,320 Speaker 1: to report back. The problem you're running into now is 656 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 1: John Snyder believes that. And he made an end season 657 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,399 Speaker 1: trade for Dwayne Brown the tackle and it was after 658 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,319 Speaker 1: they played Houston, and exactly right, and it was John 659 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 1: gave up a player, and he gave up a two 660 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,399 Speaker 1: in this draft, this coming up draft and a five 661 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 1: last year's draft. Yeah, and he thinks that Dwayne Brown. 662 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 1: It thinks that Earl Thomas is a better player than 663 00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,959 Speaker 1: Dayne Brown. I would agree with that. If that's the case, 664 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,880 Speaker 1: nobody's going to give him anything for this unless he 665 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,360 Speaker 1: unless he wants to get unless. And the point is, 666 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 1: if you wanted to get Earl Thomas, you have time 667 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 1: to get him. Was the draft night when you could 668 00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 1: get him for a second, and would you would you 669 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,480 Speaker 1: have had had time then to negotiate a long term 670 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 1: deal Draft night? Draft night? Oh yeah yeah? On the 671 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 1: clock seat. This is this is where to me, this 672 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: is where if you have a player that wants to 673 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 1: be there, he's not gonna hold you up. I just don't. 674 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 1: He'll hold you up if it's somewhere. If John Snyder 675 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,920 Speaker 1: trades him, to say, he trades him to Tampa or 676 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 1: Atlanta or one of these other places, He's gonna hold 677 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 1: you He's gonna hold he's gonna hold you up. He's 678 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,319 Speaker 1: gonna hold you up. But the fact that he has 679 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 1: been adamant that he wants to be here and John 680 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 1: Snyder doesn't owe him anything. John can take the best 681 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 1: offer he gets from anybody. He can also be very stubborn. 682 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,920 Speaker 1: So I guess I had people in Green Bay asked me, 683 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 1: They go, you usually offer two for this guy? All right. 684 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 1: So so my question as it relates to yesterday, and 685 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:56,360 Speaker 1: I'm dropping this after after this segment, okay, because I 686 00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 1: think it's all a moot point. Now, if Earl Thomas 687 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 1: is playing for Dallas yesterday instead of for Seattle, how 688 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 1: does that change the game. Well, he doesn't get two 689 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:10,799 Speaker 1: interceptions for Seattle, and maybe maybe his back up there 690 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 1: doesn't make those plays. I think to me, this is 691 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,400 Speaker 1: I think this is where the game changes. Because we 692 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 1: all had confidence. Okay, I shouldn't say we all. I 693 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:23,880 Speaker 1: had confidence into Dallas safeties. I felt like that Heath 694 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 1: and Frasier deserve my respect. They after two weeks, they 695 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 1: deserve my respect. Does Earl Thomas make a difference when 696 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 1: you know, is he back there and all of a 697 00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,560 Speaker 1: sudden he sees a route develop on the outside or 698 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 1: he knows the down in distance and he says, oh, 699 00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:40,959 Speaker 1: this is the way they're gonna go. Maybe he maybe 700 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:42,920 Speaker 1: he makes a play on that back end over there 701 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 1: instead of them trying to disguise coverages, and all of 702 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,720 Speaker 1: a sudden, you know, you get Frasier caught up short 703 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,319 Speaker 1: fifty two yard play. Yeah yeah, yeah, And maybe if 704 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 1: he's on the field, you know, Schottenheimer's whole strategy changes 705 00:37:58,040 --> 00:37:59,880 Speaker 1: if they've got a veteran safety, if you have a 706 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 1: guy that has an understanding of how it goes back 707 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,719 Speaker 1: to positioning, how do you position yourself in order to 708 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 1: make plays? He did in a Week one against Denver. 709 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,719 Speaker 1: They run a vertical route up the seam, and what 710 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 1: does he do. He reads it all the way, cuts 711 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 1: in front of it, gets an interception. That's what this 712 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,320 Speaker 1: guy does. That's the type of player he is. I 713 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,320 Speaker 1: don't know how you not want a guy like that, 714 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,560 Speaker 1: but that's the way it goes, all right, We continue 715 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,320 Speaker 1: on talking, Cowboys, take more of your phone calls.

I went to a youth 780 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:12,319 Speaker 1: football game for the first time in forever. In fact, 781 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,359 Speaker 1: I don't know since I played youth football. I don't 782 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,040 Speaker 1: think I've ever been to a youth football game. Because 783 00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,440 Speaker 1: I have friends who have kids who are playing youth 784 00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,960 Speaker 1: youth and this was these were he's a third grader. 785 00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,480 Speaker 1: So I took him to the game. And because they 786 00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,399 Speaker 1: they were all the parents had to They've got four kids, 787 00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,719 Speaker 1: and so they're running their kids all these games and 788 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,360 Speaker 1: they needed help. I said, I'll take him to his game. Whatever. 789 00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,800 Speaker 1: So it was in the rain. I mean, this is 790 00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,640 Speaker 1: in south Lake. Okay, this is how a huge football 791 00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:45,520 Speaker 1: is in south Lake. They got Dragon youth football program. 792 00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:50,520 Speaker 1: It's a pouring down rain and they're playing football out there. 793 00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,400 Speaker 1: They got artificial turf fields, you know, and so they 794 00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:56,760 Speaker 1: got umbrellas out and everything. But speaking to Rod Marinelli, 795 00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,720 Speaker 1: I get out there and the coach he looked exactly 796 00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:05,239 Speaker 1: like Rod Barrinelli and he get the one I mean 797 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:12,800 Speaker 1: tonight it was minus any profanity. Yeah, And the parents 798 00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:14,400 Speaker 1: said they love the guy. Yeah, I mean he's just 799 00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 1: a great coach. But you met your Rod Marrinelli, I said, anyway, 800 00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,400 Speaker 1: So that was my part of my way. I loved it. 801 00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,360 Speaker 1: It was so it was it could be a great 802 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,759 Speaker 1: reality TV show. They got cheerleaders out there, you know, 803 00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:30,880 Speaker 1: just the parents. You don't have Friday night tykes. Ye 804 00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,160 Speaker 1: think there is something like that day and night. Ty Yeah. 805 00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:35,879 Speaker 1: But that's that looks that looks awful the way that things. 806 00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:39,040 Speaker 1: Did you have an umbrella? Yeah? I had an umbrella. Yeah, yeah, 807 00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,920 Speaker 1: they do. They sack the quarterback, oh yeah yeah, and 808 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:44,759 Speaker 1: they don't My kid that I brought to the game, 809 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 1: he was a stud. Where's number four? They finally put 810 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:52,040 Speaker 1: him in at quarterback, and he ran all over the opponent. 811 00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,279 Speaker 1: Sometimes coaching is not very good at that little too. 812 00:43:56,480 --> 00:44:00,440 Speaker 1: I hope they didn't fall on the darn quarterback. All right, 813 00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:06,200 Speaker 1: let's go to Matt in Oklahoma. Next up, I'm talking Cowboys. Hey, guys, 814 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,600 Speaker 1: lifetime Cowboys fan here. I got a couple of points 815 00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:13,399 Speaker 1: I wanted to introduct there, and if you guys could 816 00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,120 Speaker 1: talk on a little bit. First, one is Scotland Hand. 817 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,239 Speaker 1: Not a lot to say about him. I haven't been 818 00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,520 Speaker 1: a big fan of his. I haven't. He hasn't done 819 00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:24,840 Speaker 1: well since Romo left the Cowboys. I don't think, you know. 820 00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,880 Speaker 1: I think that was the biggest reason for Dak's success 821 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,120 Speaker 1: in that first year was because Romo was there on 822 00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:33,440 Speaker 1: the sideline. So I don't have much use for him. 823 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:38,359 Speaker 1: I think, you know, my mentality is produce or we'll 824 00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:40,720 Speaker 1: get somebody else at will. I'm just afraid the Cowboys 825 00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:42,800 Speaker 1: are gonna stick with him, which brings me to the 826 00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,879 Speaker 1: next point, which would be that Crescott. You know, I've 827 00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:48,800 Speaker 1: watched the Cowboys stick with guys longer than they should have, 828 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,440 Speaker 1: things like and you know, I'm just not seeing it 829 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,200 Speaker 1: from Dak Prescott. I don't think he's the guy that's 830 00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,160 Speaker 1: gonna get us to the super Bowl. I don't think 831 00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:58,320 Speaker 1: he's a franchise quarterback. So far, it seems like everybody 832 00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,320 Speaker 1: kind of like puts around him. Uh and you know, 833 00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:03,680 Speaker 1: doesn't really just say, well, he's just not that not 834 00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:05,840 Speaker 1: that good. He's not the guy that's gonna do it. 835 00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,359 Speaker 1: He's not Aaron Rodgers, you know, or one of those guys. 836 00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:13,120 Speaker 1: Can I ask a question, sir? So? So the question is, 837 00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,439 Speaker 1: I mean, do you guys think that this is gonna 838 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,719 Speaker 1: be another one of those you know, Quincy Carter. He 839 00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,040 Speaker 1: they stuck with him too long? Are we gonna stick 840 00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:24,160 Speaker 1: with that too long? Are we gonna move on? So? So, 841 00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:28,280 Speaker 1: Dak's success in twenty sixteen was because he had Romo 842 00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,319 Speaker 1: in his ear? Is that what you're so? Well? Yeah, 843 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:33,120 Speaker 1: I think so. I think you know Romo and Lenahan's 844 00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:36,279 Speaker 1: ear and and Dak's here. You're familiar with the term 845 00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:43,040 Speaker 1: urban legend. Well, you know, yeah, we're just we're just 846 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,160 Speaker 1: trying to educate, man, That's all we're trying to do. 847 00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,400 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody light foots around Dak Prescott. No, 848 00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:50,879 Speaker 1: I think when I think, you know, if you watch 849 00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,120 Speaker 1: what I'm going to write today. I mean, when he 850 00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,520 Speaker 1: makes good plays, I write about that. When he makes 851 00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,360 Speaker 1: poor plays, I write about that. I think Mickey Spagnola 852 00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:00,640 Speaker 1: is the same way Rob Phillips Build Jones does a 853 00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:06,080 Speaker 1: nightly sports broadcasting station here in a major market television market. 854 00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:09,160 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody lightfoots around anybody as far as 855 00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,839 Speaker 1: sticking with him. You know. Yeah, I think they'll stick 856 00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,000 Speaker 1: with him. I think they'll stick with the coaching staff. 857 00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:15,920 Speaker 1: At the end of the day, they're going to add 858 00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:17,480 Speaker 1: all these up, and if it's good enough for the 859 00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,000 Speaker 1: general manager, the owner, then he'll say, Okay, we're gonna 860 00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:21,759 Speaker 1: move on. We'll be fine. This is what we'll do. 861 00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:23,759 Speaker 1: Let's redraft this thing, let's see what we have to do, 862 00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,719 Speaker 1: let's go out and get some free agents whatever. But 863 00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,280 Speaker 1: if it doesn't, then I think he'll make that decision, 864 00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:33,960 Speaker 1: you know. And there's no and I take it exception 865 00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,480 Speaker 1: to that trying to get the word out because I 866 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:40,080 Speaker 1: think that we are critical of this football team, and 867 00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:42,479 Speaker 1: I think that we when it needs to be said, 868 00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:46,000 Speaker 1: we say it. So you know, if if Dak is 869 00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,319 Speaker 1: not good enough, and I don't know how many other 870 00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:52,839 Speaker 1: quarterbacks out there, guys or Aaron Rodgers or or Tom 871 00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:56,719 Speaker 1: Brady or Drew Brees. You know, I would, I would. 872 00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,440 Speaker 1: I would give my career in scouting I have. I 873 00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,279 Speaker 1: was with one. I was with one like that, and 874 00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:05,040 Speaker 1: that was the only one. You know, and Tony Romo 875 00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,680 Speaker 1: was good player. But you know, let's not you know, 876 00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,480 Speaker 1: Tony Romo had nothing to do with Dak Prescott in 877 00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:16,160 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. And yeah, and I think that again, let's 878 00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:20,160 Speaker 1: not let's not forget that, Let's not get the story 879 00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:22,080 Speaker 1: messed up here. I give Scotland a hand a lot 880 00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:24,920 Speaker 1: of credit that year, that first year of designing and 881 00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:28,000 Speaker 1: trying to figure something out around what Dak did best. 882 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:30,920 Speaker 1: And the other thing was that was the best offensive 883 00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,600 Speaker 1: line in football that year. And Dak, I think had 884 00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:35,960 Speaker 1: a lot more time. If you go back and you 885 00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,600 Speaker 1: watch this game, there's times where he does, there's times 886 00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:40,960 Speaker 1: where he doesn't. And I think some of the pressure 887 00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:44,000 Speaker 1: that he faces affects the way sometimes he's throwing the 888 00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,480 Speaker 1: ball and trying to complete passes when he does have time. 889 00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:48,520 Speaker 1: I think they're trying, if you go back and watch 890 00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:50,880 Speaker 1: this game, they try to spread him out, but they 891 00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:52,360 Speaker 1: were also making an effort to try to get the 892 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:55,440 Speaker 1: ball out quickly because it's not the same offensive line. 893 00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:57,640 Speaker 1: Troy Aikman spoke to it yesterday on the broadcast. It's 894 00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:59,959 Speaker 1: not the same set of receivers either out there running. 895 00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:02,719 Speaker 1: It's just not it's a it's a completely in a 896 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:04,759 Speaker 1: lot of ways, it's a completely different offense from two 897 00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:08,080 Speaker 1: years ago. Yeah, and so trying to compare those two things, 898 00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:10,840 Speaker 1: it's a lot of time has passed since then, a 899 00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,520 Speaker 1: lot of faces have changed. And Zach Martin spoke to 900 00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,000 Speaker 1: it last night. They've got to figure something out up front. 901 00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,040 Speaker 1: They said, blocking up front for the run game is 902 00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:21,000 Speaker 1: one one thing they're doing that, okay, but if we 903 00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:22,800 Speaker 1: can't protect our quarterback, we're not going to win a 904 00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:24,719 Speaker 1: lot of games. That's taking a lot of hits, Yeah, 905 00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:27,160 Speaker 1: a lot of hits. So what do you think the 906 00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:32,800 Speaker 1: answer is? Up front? I want to I'm I'm committed 907 00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,719 Speaker 1: to allowing that left guard to grow. You know, I 908 00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:39,239 Speaker 1: am committed. I'm committed to allowing the right tackle to 909 00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:42,480 Speaker 1: try and develop a little bit more. Am I concerned 910 00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,640 Speaker 1: about what's going on at left tackle? Some Yeah, I am. 911 00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:49,839 Speaker 1: You know, center is a backup player. Center is really 912 00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:53,440 Speaker 1: a journeyman players. He's done the best he can and 913 00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:55,319 Speaker 1: it's probably and I don't see you going out there 914 00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:58,319 Speaker 1: and getting somebody better because you don't have anybody. Now, 915 00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,759 Speaker 1: maybe this Redman kid that they picked up one day, 916 00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:04,880 Speaker 1: we'll be a serviceable backup that it shouldn't use. Serviceable 917 00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:07,840 Speaker 1: because that's what Joe Looney is right now, Joe Looney 918 00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:12,080 Speaker 1: and getting you killed. But Joe Looney is not Travis Frederick. 919 00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:14,759 Speaker 1: You know, we can't expect that. We can't expect him 920 00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:17,440 Speaker 1: to play like that. They're gonna have to figure out way. 921 00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:18,960 Speaker 1: It's like Rob said, maybe a little bit what we 922 00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:20,520 Speaker 1: saw with Seattle, you're gonna to get the ball out 923 00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:22,839 Speaker 1: of your hand a little bit quicker. I mean, I mean, 924 00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,360 Speaker 1: but that's that's gonna put it on people on the outside. 925 00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:27,399 Speaker 1: That's gonna put it on the outside for those guys 926 00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:29,000 Speaker 1: to have to win a little bit more. So. We 927 00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:32,200 Speaker 1: don't have a tight end that can always win too. 928 00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:35,800 Speaker 1: That's another safety blanket that these guys use. We just 929 00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:39,320 Speaker 1: don't have that guy. Seattle played with two backup offensive 930 00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:45,440 Speaker 1: lineman three Actually yeah, all inside, well he's a backup, 931 00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:48,960 Speaker 1: he's not a back guard. But he was your point, 932 00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:54,160 Speaker 1: you're right, No, you're right. Draft pickin yea hunt center 933 00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:57,760 Speaker 1: and Sweezy at the one guard spot. And Sweezy started 934 00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:01,200 Speaker 1: games before he started. He started the the Chicago game, 935 00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:03,920 Speaker 1: and he started for in Tampa and then in Seattle 936 00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:06,520 Speaker 1: before he was Oh, that was a scary site when 937 00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:09,640 Speaker 1: I saw Cameron Fleming had left tackle for a grief 938 00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:13,640 Speaker 1: a milen of time. Yeah, And Dak didn't assign blame. 939 00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:15,279 Speaker 1: After the game, he said, look, when when I go 940 00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:18,720 Speaker 1: back and watch, I gotta see is it me Sometimes 941 00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:20,759 Speaker 1: is the protection? And I thought there was one sack 942 00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:22,080 Speaker 1: he took where he just needed to get rid of 943 00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:23,759 Speaker 1: the ball and he held he held it a tick 944 00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:27,439 Speaker 1: long and he took the sack. So again it's there's 945 00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:29,359 Speaker 1: a lot of different things that go into this. When 946 00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:31,680 Speaker 1: you struggled this much and putting up thirteen points a game. 947 00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,279 Speaker 1: When Zack Martin gets knocked back on a play, and 948 00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:37,480 Speaker 1: then Prescott feels that white jersey in his lap and 949 00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:39,680 Speaker 1: then he tries to duck it and go forward, and 950 00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:42,600 Speaker 1: now he's trying to throw the ball to Beasley coming across, 951 00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:45,880 Speaker 1: but he can't get his feet set. You know. Usually, 952 00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:48,440 Speaker 1: I mean nine times that attend. Zack Martin's got that 953 00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:50,839 Speaker 1: block and then boom, Now you got to step up 954 00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:52,640 Speaker 1: in a throw yep. You know this is what this 955 00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:56,640 Speaker 1: team is right now there there there every play you 956 00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:59,600 Speaker 1: could go, well where's okay, who made that mistake? Who 957 00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:02,560 Speaker 1: made that mistake? Well okay, oh that was Zach Morton? 958 00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:06,320 Speaker 1: Oh okay, you know, I mean even the guy Ezekiel, 959 00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:08,839 Speaker 1: it's stepping out of bounce. We talked about that. When 960 00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:12,320 Speaker 1: your best players are making mistakes, you're not going to 961 00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,120 Speaker 1: have much success. And that's where they're all right now. 962 00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:18,200 Speaker 1: And this includes the OC. You know he's got to 963 00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:21,040 Speaker 1: do a better job too. But you know he can 964 00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:23,759 Speaker 1: call plays and they don't finish the plays. You know, 965 00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:25,799 Speaker 1: then there's not much I mean, it's it's I call 966 00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:27,919 Speaker 1: it low hanging fruit. You can blame him all you want, 967 00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,759 Speaker 1: but you know, there's the general manager has to look 968 00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:32,800 Speaker 1: at the play calling. He has to look at the players, 969 00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:35,640 Speaker 1: and that's on him too. The players are on him too. 970 00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:39,880 Speaker 1: I just wonder if people understand the quarterback hits that, 971 00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:45,680 Speaker 1: because that means he's getting hit. He's getting hit either 972 00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:49,640 Speaker 1: right before he throws the ball and he eludes it, 973 00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,279 Speaker 1: or it's right as he's throwing the ball. That's what 974 00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:55,480 Speaker 1: a quarterback is stepping up. So when you can't step up, 975 00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:57,960 Speaker 1: it's hard to be accurate. It's hard to get the 976 00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:01,200 Speaker 1: ball down the field. Don't have time to get the 977 00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:04,160 Speaker 1: ball down the field. Zach spoke yesterday we got Zack 978 00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:06,400 Speaker 1: was the only one that came forward. He said, if 979 00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,759 Speaker 1: we don't do a better job protecting number four, we 980 00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:13,640 Speaker 1: can't have a good offer and letting routes develop. And yeah, 981 00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:17,479 Speaker 1: and letting routes develop. See, that's another thing I'm getting 982 00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:21,480 Speaker 1: a little tired of, is Dak Prescott standing up there 983 00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:25,279 Speaker 1: taking all the shots and quarterbacks. Quarterbacks have to do that. 984 00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:28,160 Speaker 1: But he but you know what they ought to treat 985 00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:30,040 Speaker 1: He ought to be on the injury port every week 986 00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:34,120 Speaker 1: for stab wounds that he has to deal with because 987 00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:36,279 Speaker 1: he and hey, he's up there saying, hey, I've got 988 00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:38,960 Speaker 1: to get better. I've got Yeah, he knows that he 989 00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:41,879 Speaker 1: knows what he knows what he is. We know his limitations, 990 00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:45,200 Speaker 1: what he is, but we've also seen him play great. Right, 991 00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:48,760 Speaker 1: But you're everybody's right here. They better damn we'll figure 992 00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,759 Speaker 1: something out. You know, you cannot go into these games 993 00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,680 Speaker 1: and Mickey's right. You go back and watch eight games 994 00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:57,839 Speaker 1: before the Kansas, you know, up until the Atlanta game. 995 00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:01,520 Speaker 1: Maybe something psychologically is a affected him the way he's playing. 996 00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:05,160 Speaker 1: You know, maybe all those hits are now starting to 997 00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:07,760 Speaker 1: add up a little bit more. Maybe he's not trusting 998 00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:10,719 Speaker 1: what he's seeing. You know, guys are open, but he's 999 00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:12,840 Speaker 1: not going to make that throw because all of a 1000 00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:15,480 Speaker 1: sudden he throws a ball. You know how many interceptions 1001 00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:17,320 Speaker 1: this guy had now where he throws a ball and 1002 00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:20,120 Speaker 1: it clangs off somebody's hands, it ends up in somebody 1003 00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:22,360 Speaker 1: else's hand, and Mickey's talked about it. This is how 1004 00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:25,439 Speaker 1: could that psychologically help anybud. It's an entirely new group 1005 00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:27,880 Speaker 1: almost that he's dealing with. He's got a couple receivers 1006 00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:31,840 Speaker 1: from last year and a tight end who got minimal snaps, 1007 00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,239 Speaker 1: and it's other than that, it's an entirely different group 1008 00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:36,640 Speaker 1: and they're trying to grow. Like you said, this is 1009 00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:41,040 Speaker 1: the group they selected said, you know what, we don't 1010 00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:44,359 Speaker 1: need to have a number one receiver. We don't need 1011 00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:47,480 Speaker 1: to have a big time tight end. If you want 1012 00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:50,400 Speaker 1: to point the finger, you could point. You could circle 1013 00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:54,719 Speaker 1: everybody involved here. You know, that everybody needs to wake 1014 00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:56,360 Speaker 1: up in the morning when they're driving to work. If 1015 00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:59,680 Speaker 1: they're listening to me bitching about how they're playing, you know, 1016 00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:03,719 Speaker 1: maybe you know, maybe that's right, Maybe that maybe you 1017 00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:06,480 Speaker 1: need to be a little bit better with your players selection. 1018 00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:08,640 Speaker 1: Maybe you need to be better with your coaching. Maybe 1019 00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:11,920 Speaker 1: you need to be better with your offensive play calling. 1020 00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,640 Speaker 1: Maybe you need to be better at playing at quarterback 1021 00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:17,880 Speaker 1: or blocking it right guard, or not getting caught in 1022 00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:21,080 Speaker 1: looking inside of the safety. Maybe you need to be 1023 00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:23,319 Speaker 1: a little bit better doing that. That's why we're sitting 1024 00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:27,080 Speaker 1: here having bitch fest right now because of things that 1025 00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:29,840 Speaker 1: are going on. They're just not good enough. And it's 1026 00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,480 Speaker 1: everybody's hand in this one.

Quite 1048 00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,359 Speaker 1: a character too, and it may have been one reason 1049 00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:52,960 Speaker 1: why he was only here for a year. I'm not 1050 00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:55,960 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if the Tommy McDonald character meshed real 1051 00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:00,719 Speaker 1: well with coach Landry those I no, they had a 1052 00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,239 Speaker 1: lot of characters on this and that's true. That's the 1053 00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:06,000 Speaker 1: sixties and the seventies. By the way, I don't know 1054 00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:08,000 Speaker 1: how Tom put up with it, tell you the truth. 1055 00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:12,040 Speaker 1: That's probably why he lost all his hair.

It's time you surprised that 1057 00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:18,040 Speaker 1: last night before I know, we got a couple minutes. 1058 00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:21,120 Speaker 1: You're surprised that New England went in there and took 1059 00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:24,160 Speaker 1: an l Detroit. Sure it was our desperate team theory 1060 00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:27,319 Speaker 1: again kind of working there.
