Cowboys lose to the Chicago 16 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,320 Speaker 1: Bears at Soldier Field last night, thirty one, twenty four. 17 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 1: We're here with you for the next forty five minutes. 18 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: A lot to unpack, a lot of frustration from the 19 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,919 Speaker 1: fan base and guys, that's um, that's warranted. Jerry Jones 20 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: is frustrated. We just heard him on the fan with 21 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 1: his his his weekly Friday hit, and there's just a 22 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of disappointment, a lot of frustration 23 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: inside this building right now and outside this building. Cowboys 24 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: at six and seven, ever soon they still have a 25 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: half game lead in this division. But it's the second 26 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: three game losing streak of the season. I'm wow, It's 27 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: it's really wow. I did not know that. It's really 28 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: hard to believe, isn't it that they're at this point 29 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: right now? It feels like it's a beautiful day outside. 30 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: I mean it's a beautiful day. It's all right, a 31 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: t g if I feel like a Monday and feel 32 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: like it's storming outside. So like that's that's the way 33 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: my body feels right now. That's the body language. This 34 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 1: is bad. That's after. That's because you just watched the 35 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: night Maryland. Well, you know, it reminds me this this team, 36 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: this feeling reminds me of A eighty three the Rams 37 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: took us out. I think that was in the cold 38 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: end zone. It was one of the coldest games of 39 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: Texas Stadium. Ice in the end zone. Here comes to 40 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,239 Speaker 1: La Rams if I'm not mistaken, Dickerson comes in runce 41 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: for almost two hundred yards. Actually that was the second time, 42 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: but no, no, right, but before that it was that 43 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: was eighty three when it was ice in the end zone. 44 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:54,359 Speaker 1: And what I mean is the comparison is that season. Yeah, 45 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: we started off hot, yeah, like seven, and oh we 46 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: we just we just couldn't be stopped. And the thing 47 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: that we did, and we we were the best I 48 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: think twelve and four team I think we had we 49 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: had going into the playoffs. And we didn't feel it. 50 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: You couldn't feel it if you you wouldn't know from 51 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: the state in the stands. It was a home game. 52 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 1: Everyone was cold. We played like we were cold, like 53 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: we never got out of warm ups. And you know, 54 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: besides the first drive of the last two games, that's 55 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 1: the only promise, that's the only promise this team has 56 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: had is two drives. Just two drives. Those those are 57 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: the ones. That's the only norm that we have at 58 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: this point for this Cowboys team, not just offensively. I'm 59 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: named for this Cowboy team. Period. Yeah, it was you know, 60 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: you you sat there and watched it and you're going, Okay, 61 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: at some point this was gonna kick in. It's gonna 62 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: get kicked in. And then it's like getting ready to 63 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: start the fourth quarter and you're going, no, this is 64 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: not gonna kick in. This is so we knew woth 65 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: quarter that is not kicking gosh. It was just I mean, defensively, 66 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: they couldn't get off the field. That's that's our no, 67 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: this is our normal. And you know that they had 68 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: at one point they finished seven of twelve on third down, 69 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: but the last three that they didn't convert. That was 70 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter when all they were doing is 71 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: running clock and let's run three times in punt. Right, 72 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: they were they were six of fifteen third down six 73 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: or fifteen, started four for four on that. I thought 74 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: it was the best drive they had. Was seventeen plays, 75 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,799 Speaker 1: almost nine minutes off the clock, great mix of running 76 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: pass ten runs, six passes, no penalties, touchdown, and it's 77 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: ever so I wrote it last night. It was like 78 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving two point zero. They have this great first drive 79 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: and you think, all right, they've they've got it going. 80 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: They've got the first drive. You showed your entire game 81 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: plan basically on the first drive. You had to It 82 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: was the longest possession they had all season, seventeen plays. 83 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: It's got to be one of the tops in the league. Yeah, 84 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: eight minutes. Yeah, no, I was referring to the Bears 85 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: third down converted. I'm sorry. And at one point they 86 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: were they were at one point they were seven of nine. 87 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: It was one after another after another after another, and 88 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: they and it didn't matter what the down and distance were, 89 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: they could not get off the field. Um players, game plan, 90 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: I mean, point of finger at everything, because the Bears 91 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: had this defense figured out. And after the game, you know, 92 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: when I spoke with Rod and Mirinelli, you know, he's 93 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: kind of a stand up guy, and he blamed himself. 94 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: He said, my my bad one. He goes, they're not 95 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 1: listening to me. I'm not getting through to him. But 96 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: you know, at some point you got to go out 97 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: and play. That's very noble. That's what I wrote. Coach 98 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: is a very noble, very noble. I love that in 99 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: old school coaches. But the accountability, as I've always said, 100 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: I just have to look at the players. Yeah, I 101 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: just have to look at the players. Whatever defense you're 102 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: putting them in, that's the defense that you've run all year. Long, 103 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 1: that's the defense you ran last year, defense you ran 104 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: the year before that, and it seems as if we 105 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: are just learning it. And that's what's scary. So now 106 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: sudden you look at all these numbers that we keep 107 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: talking about for the score itself, numbers by Dak offensively, 108 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: just just really the entire offense. Maybe the numbers for 109 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,799 Speaker 1: defense may have looked good. They might still be number 110 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,679 Speaker 1: seven in the league. That's what's what's amazing. Stats. Number 111 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: one offense too in terms of yards per game, but 112 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 1: they're not turning in. It doesn't mean yeah, and as 113 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: they ended up, you know with the garbage time stuff, 114 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: four hundred and eight yards of offense. But does that 115 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: remind you of that reminds you the Remo years when 116 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: he's just you know it down the field. We put 117 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: ourselves in trouble with early turnovers and then here comes 118 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,799 Speaker 1: Romo with numbers out of this world, but it doesn't 119 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: really indicate just how bad we may have played, even 120 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: in the passing game alone. So this is this is 121 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: that time of year. This this team is showing me 122 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: that they just don't have any continuity or it seems 123 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: like belief in anything that they're doing. And one thing 124 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: that happens when your defense plays the way they played 125 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: is you end up taking Ezekiel Elliott out of the 126 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: game twice. You can't hand keep handing him the ball 127 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: he had he had seventy two yards in the first half. Wow, 128 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: and he finished with eighty one. Really running the ball. Well, Yeah, 129 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: two games in a row he's got he's got back 130 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: to some explosive runs, and that's some of that's a credit, 131 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: you know, to the offensive line creating some holes for him, 132 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: which hasn't always been the case. I don't think in 133 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: the running game, you know, consistently they'll tell you that. 134 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: But yeah, I think he had two carries in the 135 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: second half against Buffalo and six in the second half 136 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: last night. And they just Stephen Jones preached balance to 137 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: us in the pregame show, and it just goes out 138 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: the window when you find yourself down seventeen seven and 139 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: then twenty four to seven. And Mick, we talked about 140 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: this on the plane last night. You mentioned what Rod 141 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: said about the defense. It's it's kind it's been kind 142 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: of the same thing we talked about when they've struggled 143 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: defensively this year in terms of there this up the 144 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: field defense ever since, and they're aggressive and they come 145 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: at you, and teams have been able to counter that 146 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: with the screens and the swing passes and getting the 147 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: Titans involved, and it's just been used against them. And 148 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: again I have been you know, I mean, this is 149 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,839 Speaker 1: our job to try and find out what the problem is, right, 150 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: So I've been trying to find the problem. If I 151 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: want to look at one group defensively, it's I was 152 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: talking with a buddy of mine and he said, by 153 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 1: the way secondary, and I couldn't agree with that. Even 154 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: though we're not getting the turn those and things that nature, 155 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: we're not just getting toasted up and down the field. 156 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: That's just not the way we're playing right now. I've 157 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,719 Speaker 1: always talked about even though lack of interceptions, we got 158 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: very athletic dbs. We know that, but that's not the 159 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: problem on this team. I remember going back to the 160 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: Vikings game and I try and compare it to what 161 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: I know and what I know that's when I was 162 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: on the number one defense in the NFL nineteen ninety 163 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: Giants played the same defense we have here. Now. You 164 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: have the linebackers in the bubble we had, granted we 165 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: had two guys that in the winter in Jersey, Pepper 166 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: Johnson and Steve Josey. That pretty much, you know, been 167 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,439 Speaker 1: drinking all night heavy. You know, it might be a 168 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: little heavy to ate all night. So they're gonna come in. 169 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: They're not losing weight this time of year. They're gonna 170 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 1: come in there around two sixty five, almost two seventy, 171 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: depending on what they ate last night. Okay, And when 172 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 1: they hit that, when they hit that guard, when they 173 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: hit those exposed offensive linemen, it's a stalemate. There's nowhere 174 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: for you to go. Barry Sanders nowhere. We had running 175 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: backs running scared. You know, with just lt just being 176 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: over there was enough. But I noticed that the philosophy 177 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: was to have a quick read from those offensive linemens 178 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: and when they come off that line, we are going 179 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: to meet him, meet them with violent force. And Dioce 180 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: and Pepper Johnson and Gary reasons they did that. When 181 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 1: I looked at hours, totally different defense. It's like watching 182 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 1: a lion versus cheetah. We have cheatahs as linebackers, and 183 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: when you take it whether those cheatah's legs, they got nothing. 184 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: They can't do anything without the legs. Okay, it's like 185 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: watching the flex defense get taken over by the Washington 186 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: Redskins when zone blocking made it obsolete. Whatever they're doing, 187 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: whatever we're doing, we're taking ourselves out of every running defense. 188 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: You know, the strength of every running defense. We're getting 189 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: gashed because our linebackers are not stepping up and creating 190 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: that resistance at the line of scrimmage that we need. 191 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: I don't care if you're getting cut off when they're 192 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: trying to run outside the tackle or even between the tackles, 193 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: when they're sometimes coming at their legs and sometimes they 194 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: are just so big. I mean, that's the problem to 195 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: deal with all the time. It's nothing new. You got 196 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: three hundred pounds lineman. You have to use what you use. 197 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: And they always said, same thing, make you laugh, make 198 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: you cry. If you got big offensive linemen right there, 199 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: you better be quicker than him. You better beat him 200 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: to the punch. We're not doing that. And what they're 201 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: doing make the same thing, make you laugh, make you 202 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: cry fast quick? How can I go fidgety? We almost 203 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: have fidgety linebackers. They're always ready to run, They're always 204 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: ready to go. They alays ready to go. Well, yeah, 205 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: they're quick to go. And then when you go too fast, 206 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: then here comes to screen passes, and then here comes 207 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: the jaw place or the quarterback keeper. And I think 208 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 1: if you just look at the touchdown run that Trubisky 209 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: had twenty three yards, I think I thought this was 210 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: emblematic of how the team, the defense played. They had 211 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: a play fake to Cohen going to their right and 212 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: to Marcus Lawrence crashed down the line of scrimmage as 213 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: hard as he could well. Cohen didn't have the football, 214 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: and Trubisky went left and there was nobody there. The 215 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: linebackers did the same thing. They start chasing. And I 216 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: think that was maybe the the best tangible explanation Jason 217 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 1: had after the game, is that we're not disciplined. We 218 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: were desperate. It's like everybody's trying to save the day 219 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: instead of playing in coordination. And look, Trubisky had run 220 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: for eighty one yards in twelve games. He went ten 221 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: for sixty three in this game. But that Triscoll did it, 222 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: you know, name the Quarterbosh on Thanksgiving? Yeah, of course, 223 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: absolutely no doubt. And so they've had trouble with these 224 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 1: quarterbacks who are gonna keep but they're using their aggressiveness 225 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: against them because they're trying to get up the field 226 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: us their speed. Like you talking, One thing that you 227 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: have to have is poise. You just have to have it, 228 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 1: especially this time of year and when you're in panic mode. 229 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: That is not going to happen. I've been there eighty seven, 230 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: eighty six. You know we had that. This is the 231 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 1: game eighty four when we been making an eighty four, right, 232 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: you know, there were certain games we needed. Couldn't stop 233 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: the Redskins. They came into our house and blew us out. 234 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: They came in, uh in, cameo get yeah, yeah, yeah, 235 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: yeah yeah. So you know, been there, done that. That's 236 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,199 Speaker 1: why I know what the problems are. At this point. 237 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,559 Speaker 1: Everyone is out of position. No one trusts the person 238 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: next to them because even though you're aggressive defensively, they're 239 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 1: still and organized chaos you have to deal with. There's 240 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: still gaps that you know, regardless of how much you do, 241 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: what you do and how fast you're coming off the line, 242 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 1: are certain keys that they're gonna tell you, Okay, hold up, 243 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: I gotta be careful wait, I see that now. You know, 244 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: these are kind of things. As much as you talk 245 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: about the LT being the great athletic player that he 246 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: was by the time Belichick was done with him, that 247 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: finished product. He was that organized chaos guy. He knew 248 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: he could see the tips, you know, he could see 249 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: it held. The keys were right there for him, and 250 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: he believed them. He played against the Cowboys one time. 251 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: He played so well. That was Jimmy's first year, Jimmy 252 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: and Jay's first year. He said, everything looked so easy. 253 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: He thought it was they were fakes, and he thought 254 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: everything was a trick. I mean, we like we were. 255 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: We were horrible. We were horrible. We didn't do anything 256 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: in that game. Jimmy pretty much cursed me out after 257 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: that game because he thought it was my fault. And 258 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: just let you know, guys like that could put pressure 259 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: on everyone. Positions like this is putting pressure on everyone. 260 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: Everyone's doing either too much or not enough, you know, 261 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: going the wrong direction, you know, not reading the signs, 262 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: so that that's paranoia. Okay, there's doubts. You can see 263 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: the doubt in how we played. Tackling in the open 264 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: field was an issue. Jason Garrett expounded a little bit 265 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: on what you guys were saying this morning when he said, 266 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: you know, we're not We're not a defense that that's 267 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: going to give you a variety of different things. Necessarily 268 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: that it's you know, they've got those Seattle principles where 269 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: Seattle's defense historically, they kind of do what they do 270 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: and it's a very discipline based defense. And when you 271 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: get outside of that, and he hadn't watched the tape yet, 272 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: but that's that's what happens. They struggled there. Well, think 273 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: about this when you look at so Trubisky ends up 274 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: throwing for two hundred and forty four yards. He completed 275 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: twenty three passes, right, and this wasn't out of reading 276 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: or whatever. This was the game plan. Thirteen of those 277 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: twenty three completions were two running backs, tight end, fullback. 278 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: What does that tell you? So they were saying, okay, 279 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: right exactly, and you know they targeted Jalen Smith. They 280 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: don't think he can cover. Now, he had the one 281 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: possession where he broke up the ball uh in the 282 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: end zone, but they kept coming there, right, So their 283 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: plan was we're attacking him and we're gonna make him cover. 284 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: And I think we knew going into this season that 285 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: that was one of his weaknesses. He's better going forward 286 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: than he is going backwards. And I always thought when 287 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: they got in that situation, especially in Nickel, that it 288 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: would be Layton Vanderish and Sean Lee on that Nickel. Well, 289 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: now it's him and Joe Thomas. They miss Vanderish, They 290 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: miss his athleticism that he and he could run with 291 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: those guys, right, they these guys can't run to tight end. 292 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: I didn't even know who they're tight end. Well, they're 293 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: banged up as down their depth chart. And that's some 294 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: guy named Holtz is kids in the ball. I thought 295 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: it was the guy went to college with, you know, 296 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: Randy Holtz. The He was like, what is this guy 297 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: doing three catches for fifty six yards and a thirty 298 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: yards screen catching run? Yeah, you know that's passed. It 299 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: was just just ridiculous, you know. And so you know, 300 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: and you look at the final stats for the Cowboys, 301 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,919 Speaker 1: speaking of dbs, Everson, dari and Thompson, who's filling in 302 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,199 Speaker 1: for Jeff Heath, another guy I think they miss in 303 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: terms of run defense. He finishes with nine tackles and 304 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: that's not what you want to see from your defense 305 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 1: where he's making those tackles. True, he's designated to feel 306 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,199 Speaker 1: if he's to be up and and forcing as a 307 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: strong safety tack then that's great. But if he's your 308 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: free safety as a way to me, actually he does field. 309 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: He spent most of the time on the line of scrimmage. 310 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 1: They were playing single safety high the majority of the 311 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: time with woods deep, and he was lining up because 312 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: I a couple of times I thought they had gone dime. 313 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: I go, it's like, oh twenty three, it's the safety. 314 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: He's up on the Yeah, they did win the turn, 315 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,360 Speaker 1: unfortunately not you know what, Unfortunately it would have been 316 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: better to let him score a touchdown than they intercept 317 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: the field at all, extended the field and what and 318 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 1: basically what it did was they they they went three 319 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: and out punted and they got the ball back at Yeah, 320 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: the field position game is still the same. I thought 321 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,360 Speaker 1: about you when it's like Murphy's long with you get 322 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:21,479 Speaker 1: a takeaway, but field positions flipped and then you know, 323 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: a kick out of bounds late in the game that 324 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,199 Speaker 1: leads to a touchdown for Chicago three plays later. I 325 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: think the Bears average starting position was the forty yard line. 326 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 1: There just wasn't really anything about this game that they 327 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: could hang their hat on that they had success. The 328 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: first drive. We seemed like an entirely different team offensively. 329 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 1: That's pretty scary. Cowboys have been trying and I know 330 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: Paula being out really didn't help at all. But we 331 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 1: talked about Zeke. As we run Zeke in the first half, 332 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: I could imagine the game plan. He is, Okay, we 333 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 1: run him in the first half. He's doing well, he's 334 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: controlling the pace defensively, will not make it happen. Okay, 335 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: let's change it up. Let's get him in space. Yeah, 336 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: so now they've been trying to get him out of space. 337 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: They're trying to use Zeke as much as possible because 338 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: he's not really breaking that that fifty yarder like we're 339 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: accustomed to, and like a lot of other backs who 340 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 1: are not even better than him or having the opportunity 341 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: to do so, they're trying to create that for him, 342 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: and they just can't seem to be on the same page. 343 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: See he's like whether he dackers, they cannot connect. It's like, 344 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: actually gap earlier in the year, the thirty thirty yard 345 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: run that he had, Yeah, it was thirty one thirty one. 346 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,679 Speaker 1: That was his longest run of the of the season, 347 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: and he had a thirty yarder on Thanksgiving, he's you know, 348 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: hitting those explosive plays, but again he's taken out of 349 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: the game basically in the second half. Defense won't effective defense. 350 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 1: I said it before the game. Now look at these 351 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: other than the weather assist in New England. When you 352 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: held them to thirteen points, it's twenty eight, twenty seven, 353 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: twenty six, thirty one. You can't expect your offense. And 354 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: you knew this was going to be difficult going against 355 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 1: that ch all go defense. So you knew you weren't 356 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: going to score thirty points. You can't score. You have 357 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: to score thirty points every game to win. And that's 358 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: the kind of the situation they've been in. Your defense 359 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: has to match the opposite of defense, and they did 360 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: have to. They needed to step out and you knew that. Yes, 361 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: you know, they're they're good. They're good. I give it 362 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: to him. And Buffalo's defense is a top ten defense 363 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 1: and New England's been at a historical level. So your 364 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 1: points well made. And you know the worst part, look 365 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: at what we have though, I know, I'm so tired 366 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 1: of hearing about what everybody else that's that's fair, you know, 367 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 1: if what we have that we have this so a 368 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 1: bit established coaching staff. You know, head coach has been 369 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: in place for a while. It's been a little bit 370 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: shuffling going on underneath. You know, players themselves been locked 371 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: down contract wise. I mean, come on this, we have 372 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: We're supposed to be the ones that they're saying. Man, 373 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,439 Speaker 1: these guys have they have, they're a good team. They 374 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: just came in and beat us. Well why are we 375 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,679 Speaker 1: saying that all the time? And they're speaking to the 376 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: fan right now. And they played with out two of 377 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 1: their starting players, two of their better starting players. Their 378 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: their top corner basically was out, Um and they had 379 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: to play a backup that hadn't played very much, Tolliver 380 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: and then Danny trevad In, one of their linebackers. He's out, 381 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: and they had to play what was the guy I 382 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: couldn't pronounce his name because oh yeah, kit Wowski or 383 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 1: something like that. Okay, but I got somebody you never 384 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: heard of, right right, you know, just one last thing. 385 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 1: I just think we were just I know we've been 386 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 1: labeling the point. I just want to dump on them 387 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: just a little bit more. It doesn't take a team 388 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: full of superstars to beat a team full of superstars. 389 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: It just takes a heck of a team. That's that's 390 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: a good track to get back to when we come 391 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,719 Speaker 1: back from break.

Don't 441 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: miss your opportunity to get tickets before they sell out. 442 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: They're on sale now at SKE I can't wait for 443 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: they I can't not wait for the game. It'll be 444 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,120 Speaker 1: a good one. I'm letta. See what you Baylor beher 445 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: is going to do? Are they really up to the 446 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:02,679 Speaker 1: task right? See if that defense blaze against Oklahoma and 447 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: make sure they play like the fourth quarter two. This time, 448 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: I must see what it does against this this a 449 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: vengeful defense. Well, not a good result last night in Chicago. 450 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 1: The score doesn't really tell the story. Thirty one twenty 451 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 1: four Bears beat the Cowboys. They dropped a six and 452 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: seven on the season. They still get a half game 453 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: lead over Philly, but obviously there's a lot to clean up. 454 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: And everything you were saying before the break complimentary football, 455 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: something Dak Prescott has talked about. Everybody's talked about they 456 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: haven't put the complete games together. As a player, when 457 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,439 Speaker 1: you've been in these situations in your career, what is 458 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: the what's the confidence level? Where the mindset? I know 459 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 1: you can't get into these guys heads, but how do 460 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: you how do you try to rally from something like 461 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 1: this where it just seems like nothing's nothing's going your 462 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 1: way and you can't find any traction here. I was 463 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: thinking about that this morning coming here, because obviously they 464 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 1: need to turn around, they need something, and I could 465 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 1: I could see meet missed the optimism here. I could 466 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: clearly see that there's gonna be a moment, and I 467 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:11,400 Speaker 1: know that's what the positive people, of the optimistic people 468 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: are thinking about now, such as myself. If they're gonna 469 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 1: do anything this year, that's gonna have to be a 470 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: moment to where they put that together. You know that 471 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: that drive in the that starting drive that you had, 472 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: They're gonna have to be a moment to where you 473 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: transfer you take that energy level, that success and put 474 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: it to a more you know, important part of the game, 475 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:39,439 Speaker 1: more critical part of the game. A nice two men 476 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: to drive I'm sorry, drive a two minutes would be 477 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,479 Speaker 1: great to where we needed it. It either puts us 478 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,959 Speaker 1: ahead or ties us for a game. I think just 479 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: one moment like that could change everything. Fourth down stands 480 00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 1: that would change everything. I truly believe that something think big, 481 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: they can swing momentum and get some confidence back, because 482 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: they don't. They don't seem like a confident group. I mean, 483 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 1: I'm sure I know they believe in their abilities, but 484 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: but it's just it's talked about they only believe in that. 485 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: They don't believe in themselves as a team. That's totally 486 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: different because, like you said, the out of position guys 487 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: are crashing down trying to that He's not really trying 488 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: to be the hero. It's just instinctive right now because 489 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: everyone's in panic mode. And so you're sitting here thinking, well, man, 490 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 1: we should be doing this and we should be doing that. 491 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: Don't worry about what you should be doing. Don't worry 492 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: about the contract you just signed, don't worry about what 493 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 1: you're looking forward to. You know, Queen has got the sacks, 494 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: he got his bonus coming all of that, it means 495 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: nothing right now, right you understand. So here you've got 496 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:49,120 Speaker 1: teams that have our game playing down. But obviously after 497 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 1: the second drive, after the first drive, they have a 498 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: game playing down. They know where we're going, they know 499 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: our tendencies. Okay, they know the players themselves tendencies. They're 500 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,119 Speaker 1: doubling people at the right time, they playing zone the 501 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 1: right time, They're controlling what we're trying to do. They're 502 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 1: the ones. Even after the first drive, there's no panic 503 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 1: from the opposition. They feel like the game is still 504 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: in their hands because they're going up against our defense. 505 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: And I don't care how many superstars you got, I 506 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: don't care how many contracts you sign. I can take 507 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 1: a solid defense player Tampa two zone and shut down. 508 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: I've done it well, I've been on team that's done it. 509 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: We sure that one of the greatest offenses in history 510 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,679 Speaker 1: San Francisco, forty nine ers in San Francisco because we 511 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: had a great system that can shut down Jerry Rice, 512 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: John Taylor, Joe Montana, Steve. I don't care who it is, 513 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 1: because it's still a team game. Guys. You cannot get 514 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: past that. We can tout all these my homes, which 515 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: I get tired of that they're putting one guy. We 516 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: have to market this guy. He's got to be the 517 00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: face of this. A defensive lineman can make a bigger 518 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: difference in the game than a Marii cooper a d 519 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: linement that you've never heard of. Okay, so superstars are great. 520 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: It looks good in the with the numbers. The problem 521 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: that you have is putting it on the field with 522 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,479 Speaker 1: the other guys that you have to play with and 523 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: depend on. So you depend on them. You don't they're 524 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: just not out there for dressing. You depend on them 525 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: for you to be successful. And you know, when you 526 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 1: look at this thing, and I understand that, you know, 527 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 1: they had a couple empty possessions early in the game, 528 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: but it's it's ten to seven, all right, and they 529 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: drove and you held them to a field goal. Yeah, 530 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: so the next the next possession, the Cowboys marched downfield. 531 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: They got first and ten at the thirty at the 532 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 1: Chicago thirty yard line. It's third and four at the 533 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 1: twenty four. Right, they got a great play call, Right, 534 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: it's gonna be I'm sending the fullback out and he's 535 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 1: gonna act like he going to run a wheel route 536 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 1: or if he sees the linebacker playing off stop and 537 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw you the pass. Well, he threw him 538 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 1: in the pass. But while he kept running and and 539 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 1: now you know you you call. You practice that play 540 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: all week, right, and and that that receiver have to 541 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 1: be right, you have to be into And how many 542 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: times have they throw them the ball? Not very many times? Right, 543 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: So it was another one of those things where something 544 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 1: could go wrong. It went wrong because normally, probably in 545 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 1: that situation, they might have had Pollard in the game 546 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 1: rights very straightened ankle, can't play. So now, all right, 547 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: it's a forty two yard field goal, you're gonna tie 548 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: the game. Ten. Ten. You're talking about those moments where 549 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: something happens good and you feel good about yourself and 550 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 1: he misses, he misses wide. Right, didn't you feel like 551 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: it took the air out of the balloon right there. Well, yeah, 552 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: because then they came right back down the field and 553 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 1: scored and made it seventeen seven. Then they scored with 554 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 1: three seconds to go in the half. You know, if 555 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: it was ten seven at halftime, now they're getting the 556 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: ball again, right, you would say, Okay, I'm cool, I 557 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 1: can handle this. I got out played, but I'm still 558 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 1: in the ball game. And then you let them take 559 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 1: the next possession. So they scored. Basically in two possessions, 560 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 1: they scored fourteen points, and now it's like twenty four 561 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: to seven. Now you're like, okay, I'm in panic mode. 562 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: I gotta just get out of my game plan. We 563 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 1: gotta sling it around and don't need Dak throwing the 564 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 1: ball forty nine times. And the problem is the players 565 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: can say, just like the fans like Mandasa vou, Yeah, 566 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 1: I mean we just did this, right, Yeah, we keep 567 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: doing this. That was Buffalo all over again. Yes, so 568 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: so you could you know, we're fans, well you know 569 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 1: we we we're feeling it. But as players, you just 570 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 1: when things like that become consistent, you've got to have doubt. Yeah, 571 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 1: And for Brett Meyer, that's his tenth mess of the season. 572 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: He's missed at least one field goal in eight of 573 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 1: thirteen games this year. And look, they worked out three 574 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: kickers during the week. I don't think those tryouts really 575 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: caught their eye. And they stuck with him, and let's 576 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 1: give him another chat, another chance, Yeah, wins not blowing outside, 577 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 1: give him another shot. I mean, in the last five 578 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 1: games he's nine to fourteen. I don't know what that 579 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 1: percentage comes to, but it's probably somewhere around sixty five percent. 580 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 1: And see, you gotta be hitting at eighty and and 581 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 1: those numbers, to me are surprisingly good. I didn't know 582 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: they were that high. Because it's the moments that the 583 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: more important hit him than his numbers. Yes, that's always 584 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 1: the key. I mean, it's like you can sit here 585 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: and go, oh man, he made a sixty three yard 586 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 1: field goal. Okay, that's fine, But when you're now one 587 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: of five from forty yards out forty to forty nine, 588 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: it's like, whoa who cares about the sixty exactly? Make 589 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 1: it that makes it that accomplishment just disappear, you know. 590 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 1: And their guy was in the same boat, but he 591 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 1: hit his forty some yard field goal. What do you 592 00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 1: think they do? Because we know they're there's not a 593 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: lot out there. I mean, where do you go? But 594 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,959 Speaker 1: I don't know. Do you just bring somebody in to say, well, 595 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: can it be any worse? You have to get a guy. 596 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 1: I would try and get a guy, you know, not 597 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 1: as old as Vinitary, but ms not out there, the 598 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 1: veteran guy who you know is going to hit the 599 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: forty yarders in forty five yarders consistently, the long long ones. 600 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: I love it. I bring in Jones to try and 601 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,959 Speaker 1: do a long one if I had to. Okay, you 602 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 1: know we've seen it happen a pun of girls out 603 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: there and just does something amazing. But I want the 604 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: consistent guy. Matt Barr nineteen ninety Man Parcels love that guy. Yeah, 605 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 1: I've been with great kicker, Raphiel Septym. You know that's 606 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: that's the that's the kicker. I know. I'm accustomed to 607 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:51,239 Speaker 1: these kind of amazing consistent guys. You won't see him 608 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: hitting a bunch of fifty yarders, but at forty five 609 00:33:54,840 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: yard is gonna be right. So he told the funny 610 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 1: story on the Walk Off the other day, talking about 611 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 1: in ninety three when they were struggling with the kicker 612 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 1: and they had a workout and he said, so we 613 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 1: worked out like three guys and he goes, I was 614 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 1: the holder, and he goes the first two guys and 615 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,880 Speaker 1: it's like, well, how do you like the ball? You know, 616 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 1: it's like, wow, I'd like it a little bit this way, 617 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 1: a little bit this way. They were real particularly and 618 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: then Eddie Murray came in and for his turn and 619 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 1: he said, how do you like the ball? He goes, 620 00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 1: just get it, get it down. Ends up winning that 621 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,560 Speaker 1: game against the Giants, uh in ninety three, the last 622 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 1: game of the season, with the winning field goal and overtime. 623 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,759 Speaker 1: Those guys just don't I mean, they're not They're not 624 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 1: out there, these veteran guys. I mean, look at what 625 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,719 Speaker 1: New England's gone through with after losing got Kowski. Yeah, 626 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 1: there's reports they might take signed Nick Folk back if 627 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 1: he's healthy today. So he had he had an app 628 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 1: and de Yeah, so that's the Cowboys. I figured he's 629 00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 1: out of the league, right he's still ki and then 630 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:05,479 Speaker 1: they brought it.

Actually, I 680 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 1: was reading an interesting story about how it got started 681 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:29,400 Speaker 1: and how they the guys that started acting there. Uh, 682 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 1: you know, all the people when SNL got going that 683 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:40,600 Speaker 1: they took improv classes on how to just improvisation stuff. 684 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:42,759 Speaker 1: And I said, I figured just people knew how to 685 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,000 Speaker 1: do it right, but they kind of taught them to 686 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 1: its little Chicago atmosphere there since we were there for 687 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,520 Speaker 1: day and a half and walked in at four am. 688 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 1: So I'll give you a break on the liner. You know, 689 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 1: a couple of flubs, but you did fine, I think, Yeah, 690 00:38:56,440 --> 00:39:05,919 Speaker 1: always flubs, Yeah, absolutely all right. Recapping Bears Cowboys thirty 691 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,279 Speaker 1: one twenty four Chicago wins wet a cup close either. Yeah, 692 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:11,479 Speaker 1: we got a couple of minutes left in the show. 693 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 1: Kyle could you roll some Jerry Jones audio post game 694 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 1: for us. But we've got to start showing our fans 695 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: more importantly, showing ourselves that we can do the things 696 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 1: to win the games. It's hard to do it when 697 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:28,680 Speaker 1: you extend their possessions and you make mistakes on third down. 698 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 1: It's hard to do it when you either create penalties. 699 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 1: It's hard to do it when you miss field goals 700 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,719 Speaker 1: that the last two games have shown up. We got 701 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,960 Speaker 1: down near the end and looked up and we had 702 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:45,120 Speaker 1: a chance potentially, but we'd really had a chance both 703 00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,799 Speaker 1: the last two games if we'd kicked our field goal. Well, 704 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 1: that's if stuff, and we know that is we're not 705 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 1: playing well enough to actually get close enough so at 706 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,359 Speaker 1: the end of the game we could actually tie one 707 00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,920 Speaker 1: at the last minute or win it at the last minute. Yet, 708 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 1: thanks Kyle, that was That was as frustrated as I've 709 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 1: seen mister Jones after a game in a while. Um, 710 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,480 Speaker 1: And he was on the fan this morning he said 711 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 1: it starts with me as as the GM owner of 712 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,680 Speaker 1: the team. I think he said something the effect Mick, 713 00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:17,240 Speaker 1: that sound you here across the Metroplex, that's me screaming 714 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:24,160 Speaker 1: in my pillow. Yeah, among the other things. Yeah, yeah, yep. Um, 715 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 1: it's a tough it's a tough day. It's a tough moment, 716 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,839 Speaker 1: tough stretch for this team right now. And you know, 717 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:33,760 Speaker 1: how do they dig out of it? Is the question? 718 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,520 Speaker 1: And well, they're gonna get nine days to think about it. 719 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:41,799 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, maybe he'll up a little bit. That's bad. Yeah, 720 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 1: about you have to think about how how just how 721 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,360 Speaker 1: pitiful you are for quite some time, not just the 722 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,680 Speaker 1: one week that you're accustomed to. Now you get to 723 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,759 Speaker 1: watch everybody this weekend and you watch the Saints and 724 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:55,840 Speaker 1: you watch these good teams that are just you know, 725 00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,759 Speaker 1: hitting the stride, and you look at you you sit 726 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:03,320 Speaker 1: there and you go, what is wrong with me? Yeah? Yeah, 727 00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,360 Speaker 1: I mean you know you got that's They're gonna have 728 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,840 Speaker 1: ten days of that. Even when practice starts, they'll probably 729 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,040 Speaker 1: be glad to get back to practice. But you know, 730 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:16,240 Speaker 1: I when when I did the pregame radio interview with Jason, 731 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:18,239 Speaker 1: one of the questions I asked him, I said, you 732 00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,560 Speaker 1: know when you don't you played on Thanksgiving? So now 733 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:24,200 Speaker 1: on Sunday we got to watch other teams play, right, Um, 734 00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:30,719 Speaker 1: really good teams. So the uh was it was it Minnesota, Minnesota, 735 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:35,520 Speaker 1: Minnesota one. Um, I'm drawing a blank. Anyway, it was 736 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:39,840 Speaker 1: it was a really good game and there were plays 737 00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:41,879 Speaker 1: and I think I mentioned this last week. There were 738 00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:48,960 Speaker 1: plays like guys were wide open. Yeah, yeah, and I 739 00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,200 Speaker 1: and my question to him was, it's like nobody's perfect 740 00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,040 Speaker 1: out there, even the good teams. But you got to 741 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:57,759 Speaker 1: overcome your imperfections. You got to overcome your adversity. And 742 00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,200 Speaker 1: this team has not been able to do that at 743 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,799 Speaker 1: all season long. When they've had adversity, it seems like, 744 00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:05,719 Speaker 1: you know, when they come out like they did the 745 00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,160 Speaker 1: first three games, boom boom boom, go down to score. Okay, 746 00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,719 Speaker 1: this was great, right, but when adversity hit, they have 747 00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,239 Speaker 1: not been able to comer it and they have not 748 00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:18,399 Speaker 1: been able to turn those games. What's that front run? Yeah? 749 00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,960 Speaker 1: Well maybe yeah, one thing they were able to do 750 00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,200 Speaker 1: last year and last year's last year. But three and 751 00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:26,520 Speaker 1: five they handled the adversity and they won close games, Everson, 752 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,080 Speaker 1: where it wasn't always going well. Haven't done that this year, 753 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,160 Speaker 1: and that's that's they find themselves at six and seven 754 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,200 Speaker 1: and trying to dig out of this thing with three 755 00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:38,160 Speaker 1: games to play and still unbelievably. The NFC East title 756 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:44,440 Speaker 1: still within the grass that game fifteen Cowboys at Philadelphia 757 00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:47,759 Speaker 1: December twenty second, But it's gonna decide everything ten day 758 00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,759 Speaker 1: Break and then the Rams after that, so we'll see 759 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,840 Speaker 1: what happens. Thanks guys for joining us. We hope it helped. 760 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 1: Thanks Kyle for producing for Everson the MS due.
