Go down the field on dude, 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:28.679 what kind of defense in you coming straight down the field? 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:32.880 Man? I will say this, you gotta be able to 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:34.520 trust in Bradberry though. 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:36.000 You gotta be able to. 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:39.080 Have some type of time you got it, Like, Okay, 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:41.240 we're gonna call the player, Hey, man, you you are 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:43.880 a guy. Okay, we got to be able to believe that, 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:48.240 you know, because he was the most veteran guy, uh 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:50.680 in the sect that they had out there. Okay, because 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:54.880 slave was out true? Now that true? You know that's true. 0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:58.560 But can I say this? I say I just I was. 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:00.680 I was ticked off watching that game, first of all, 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:03.800 because I have never seen a man be publicly neutered 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:06.440 like my man Shun de Side got yesterday. 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:07.560 That was called work. 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:09.440 And I'm telling you, man, like I'll be watching TV 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:12.360 sometimes seeing stuff on social media, and I asked myself, 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:13.640 I want to do people in their. 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:15.960 Consciousness see how wrong this is. 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:18.600 That was wrong. The camera pans to him. 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.240 He's in the play in the press spot, drawing up 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:24.080 the play, drawing up the defense and Matt Patricia is 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:25.960 down there on the sideline giving. 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:28.639 Up the goat. Listen. It's amazing to. 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:30.960 Me to see something like that happening. And hey, wait 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:33.600 a minute, before you say you already know already, let 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:33.960 me say this. 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:35.120 Let me say this. You already know. 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:39.720 I don't care anything about the institutional control for the 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:44.120 Philadelphia Eagles. Detonate immediately. Okay, you know what, you know 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:46.200 how I feel about him. But Danny, come on, man, 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:48.360 that's just wrong. I'm just saying you up. So you 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:51.840 could be upset about somebody on the Eagles, right, but 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.520 when it's me saying that I had respect, If you 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:56.760 are a certain person on the Eagles, then it's a problem. 0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:59.679 But but you were pissed off last night. I'm talking 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:03.600 about that. Had they was all in yo emoss, I was. 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:05.960 I couldn't believe it. I'm like, are they doing this 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:09.640 to this band? And on National ten they're ten and three? 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:12.000 They are ten and three right now, And I'm telling 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:15.160 Charles McDonald from y'allho Sports writes a great article on 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:18.800 this on how shunder Side got replaced with Matt Patricia. 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:22.000 But I just I felt that I was alarmed by 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:25.240 them making this move, but also just kind of publicizing. 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:27.400 It's still putting this guy out there on front Street 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.440 for everybody to see him get done the way that 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:32.160 he did. And it'd be a different thing if they 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:34.920 were already struggling as a team. They're already in the playoffs, 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:37.080 They've been number one seed for a very long time. 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:39.960 It's San Francisco has been making their way up. But 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:42.080 for them to demote him like that, man, I just 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:43.720 I thought it was cold. I like this because I 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.000 want everybody listening to hear this scene, right because when 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.280 they be telling me, I sound like I'm an Eagles 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:50.400 fan and I care about the Eagles. All that you 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:53.040 care about people, don't you? You just care about people? 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.760 Ain't that what it is? You care about people? I 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:59.040 care about it too. It's a tough. 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.040 Would he rather get fired? He probably got. 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.400 I rather got wouldn't you have rather got fired? I 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:07.320 really let me go. 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.560 I have been over there wishing against Patricia the whole 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:12.720 time on the sideline and just waiting for something like 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:16.200 that happened at the end of the yew two yards bro. 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:18.479 I mean, where else they going with the ball? Sound 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:20.920 like he got his justice. It sounds like he got 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:21.640 his justice. 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:29.160 Blame. That's crazy. 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:32.559 So what I thought, to go back to what you said, 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:36.719 if you read earlier in the day the stories of 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.279 players had lost faith in the side, I'm like, oh, 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:42.240 this is the media plant right here. This is this 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:45.560 is somebody, an anonymous source right in the front office 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:47.320 who went out here and tipped off a bunch of 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:50.480 people that players said they didn't believe in the DC. 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:55.159 And what submit to me when I saw the move 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:57.200 that when Jay Glade were reported, I'm like, man, this 0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:02.720 is a panic move. I clearly rem remembered listening on 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:08.480 an early Monday morning about it was on WIP the 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:10.120 radio station. I wanted to me it was a catald. 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:12.320 He might have still been there, but they were going 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:17.039 after Jonathan Gannon and Nick Siriann and going off on 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:19.440 the coordinators. This guy's not good, he's this, he's that, 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.159 He's supposed to be all this, he's not. That's what 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:25.080 they were killing him. And Syrianni stood with the both coordinators. 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:27.880 They made the playoffs spoty way, and then the next 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:31.039 year we all know what they did. So when both 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.479 coordinators left, and I talked about on this show, I 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:35.280 thought they would not be the same as they were 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:37.040 last year because of the coordinator change. 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.480 For him to dump the guy with three games to go, 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.960 it's the ultimate panic move. That's a panic move. 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:47.839 And them to watch, and I took great joy and 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:51.760 glee to watch Jackson Smith and Jigbo of rock Wall 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:54.880 catch a touchdown pass in the end zone over Toasty 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.640 Bradberry and just like this is this is the Matt 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:00.760 Patricia I've grown to know and love giving it all 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:03.560 up because it was just it was it was just 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:05.520 Justice's wrong. 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:09.520 And today I listened to w i P radio and. 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:13.840 I've enjoyed myself all morning, all days, all afternoon, rang day. 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:17.679 They said Hurts is regressed. They say he can't throw, 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:21.800 they say he can't read defenses. They said the head coach, 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:23.800 what does he doing. He's a walk around guy. He's 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:27.280 not coaching anybody. They want the offensive coordinator gone. Now 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:30.880 they're mad at Matt Patricia. He's no good. They said 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:33.840 the Georgia guys that Howie Roseman drafted and they're not 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.840 doing anything. 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:40.839 So they say they they're overrated. They're overrated. 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.600 So they said they're overrated. How he's overrated. I mean, 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:47.000 they want to detonate the team. They're mad. They said 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.120 they've been fraudulent all year long, and now we're just 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:53.720 realizing my group, I mean, this thing is, this thing 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.040 is fantastic to listen to. 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.239 Nobody is sacred. They're blowing up the whole team. 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:01.640 And now they say Tommy Cutler's and the Giants gonna 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:02.960 beat them, and they got no faith. 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:07.040 We hope, we hope that Tommy and uh In Sa 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:09.320 Kwan can pull it off right, because that will help 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:11.040 us out as long as we handle our business. But 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:13.640 you know, I think it's and that's the league and 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:15.440 then that's fans, and that's and that's just how it 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:18.200 goes of. Like not not too many years ago, the 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:22.360 Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl. Okay, last year they 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:25.480 were in the Super Bowl a few plays away from 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:29.160 from winning that game as well. And then usually when 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:30.760 you see a team that go to the Super Bowl 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:34.600 lose that and lose that way, they the next season they. 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.360 Don't play very well to hangover, they don't play very well. 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:41.320 This team has been number one since the season started 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:44.480 after coming off of that. And then your fan base 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.680 is that, like that's what you turn into. 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:50.120 That's who they are, though, bro, Which is which is 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:52.320 which is crazy. 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:53.720 I love crazy. 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:57.480 I love it. Detonate immediately. It's what I'm saying. Get 0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:02.280 rid of them, all right, get rid of him. I'm Sirianni. 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:03.400 I can't. I love it. 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:07.000 Show me another picture of Sirianni bobbing his head up 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:10.200 and down. I love it, okay, but I just it's 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:14.200 one Like watching him last night, especially on offense, Jyl, 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:15.720 It's gonna come out at the end of the season 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:16.360 that Jalen hurts. 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:16.800 It's hurt. 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:19.920 It is he has to be, because I've seen last year. 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:23.440 I watched this guy last year just escape the pocket, 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:26.160 pick up the extra yards when the running game wasn't there. 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:28.080 You knew you could put the ball in. Jalen hurts 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.960 his hands. It's just not there anymore. Something has changed 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:33.400 in his mind is not allowing him to do that. 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:35.400 That those balls that he's putting out there's fifty to 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:38.320 fifty every time, especially on those deep routes. He's just 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:40.360 not able to complete it. And maybe that's because he 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:41.400 can't push off his leg. 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.080 He listen, he pulled one of those like why are 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:47.080 you throwing it to that guy? D Why? Like why him? 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:49.040 With the guys you have on. 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:51.679 Your team when Aj Brown and Slim ree like why 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:54.800 you throwing it to him as a fifty like him? 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:56.520 And that's like that's the same song. 0:08:56.679 --> 0:09:00.280 Like I don't understand what understand when certain quarterbacks do 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:03.040 stuff like that, right, Like you know who's on your 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:05.040 roster and you know who you should be throwing the 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:07.800 ball to, especially if this is a panic mover or 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:10.320 like all of a sudden, your defensive coordinator is not called, 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:12.120 then everybody should be in a panic, and you know 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:15.600 who you should lean on in those moments. Aj Brown 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.720 your guy, Like you got to lean on that guy 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:20.959 and win or lose with that guy. Those are the 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:24.200 things I never really understand when I see certain quarterbacks 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:27.560 or teams go away from the person that they paying 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:29.920 the most money to make the biggest plays in the game, 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:31.480 and they can't figure out a way to get it done. 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:35.120 So listen, it helps us out. It does the veto 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:37.400 please go out there and do what you need to do. 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:40.720 But the main thing is the main thing. We have 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:43.640 to go out here and get these wins to finish 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:45.199 out the season, no doubt. 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:48.240 Got You've got another opportunity. So this is three straight 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:51.599 losses by Philadelphia it's another opportunity for the Cowboys to 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:59.679 go out and do their job. The road is tough 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:03.520 because Miami in December, it is a hard place to win. 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:06.439 As much as you talk about Buffalo and December being 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:08.600 a hard place to win, Miami is the same type 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:12.199 of a place to win. And this is a team 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:15.600 who style does not match up favorably to what the Cowboys. 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:19.280 You sound like Barry Church. He sound like Barry right now. 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:25.880 Styles make fights. This is they're all wrong for us, baby, 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:29.840 the wrong. They got two running backs you had James 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:33.120 I mean no offensive James Cook. He's a nice running back, 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:36.160 but most are in the chain they are. You're an 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:39.640 upgrading Okay, you didn't upgraded, so so yeah, you went 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:43.120 from what the Papa's barbecue the papa steakhouse this week. 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:46.920 It's different cut of meat right here. And then these receivers, 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:50.160 they've got no offense to step on. Diggs, you're a 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:52.520 nice player, but you're not to cheatah, and you know 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:55.520 you're not models. So it's it's it's it's different. And 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:57.560 and you know this week's play college. You know, mister 0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:00.960 Brady nice, but coach Soul is good. 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:03.480 Go ahead, man, go ahead. 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.920 Listen, I do think I think this is a tougher 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:12.200 matchup than the Buffalo Bills matchup, because this is like 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:14.920 the Buffalo Bills turned into a running team. They came out, 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:16.800 they saw they could have success over the last few weeks. 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.040 But then they said, we're playing the Dallas Cowboys. We're 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:22.240 pretty sure that we're gonna be able to have success 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:24.400 based off what they put out there on tape this season, 0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:26.560 and they came out and they did it. Now, when 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:30.760 you put that on tape again right against the Buffalo 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:33.400 team and you go out the next week, that same team, 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:35.600 the Miami Dolphins that you have to play, is watching 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:38.280 the film from go all the way back to San Francisco, 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:40.559 actually go all the way back to Denver, then go 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:42.480 all the way back to San Francisco, all the way 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.000 back to San Francisco again, and then now you watch 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:46.280 the Buffalo Bills tape and you're. 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:48.120 Like, oh, all right, yeah, that's right. 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:50.320 They can't do this, this and that, and they have 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:53.360 not shown that they have fixed these wards that they 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:56.360 have on their defense. What are we going to do? Oh, 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:59.679 that fits our system. We got two big time running backs, 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:03.480 speed and good vision. And if they just so happened 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:05.760 to figure that out. They still got to find out 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:08.880 how to stop Tyree Hill and Waddle. It is going 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:11.880 to be a tough defensive matchup for us, which is 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:14.520 why I'm gonna be leaning on what our offense can 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:16.400 do in order to get us through this game. 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:17.120 I didn't I. 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:20.160 Didn't like what you said yesterday, and I'm not liking 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:23.160 what you're saying right now, Danny. It sounds too true. 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:25.760 It is, no, it is, it is. I mean, and 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:27.400 you mentioned it. You went all the way down to 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:31.280 Detroit yesterday talking about Detroit, Montgomery and Gibbs and just 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.520 saying how much of a challenge it's going to be, 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.920 especially with this being the ice sore on our defense 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:41.120 going into the latter part of the season. Look as 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.080 you talk about a Change, as you talk about Mosher, 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:45.360 the thing about them is that's two different types of 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:49.000 runners with strengths strength on strength. I'm saying Most is 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:51.360 a guy that obviously explosive, slippery guy. 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:52.720 A change is just fast. 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.760 A change for Most city Missouri City guy and texting 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:59.000 them legend just a fast dude, and he is that 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:02.400 the definition of thunder and Lightning as a running back group. 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:04.959 But a Chang has been out for a few games 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:06.880 in the season. Most just have to take over the 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:09.200 brunt of those carriers. Done a good job. But I 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:10.800 think the one thing, if I could just point to 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:13.880 a weakness, he fumbles, he will he will give up 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:16.160 the rock. And I think the Dallas Cowboys one of 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.880 their strengths has been taking the ball away. You're gonna 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.680 have to specialize in that this week versus Miami because 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:24.959 you're gonna have to get some takeaways versus offense period. 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:27.600 And I think you know what makes me mad about 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:30.040 us defensively right now is that we can't play the 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:32.760 brand of football that we need to play because certain 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:34.640 things has just been legislated out of the league. You 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:38.280 gotta it's you look at Buffalo's tape. They took it 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:40.320 to us physically. They did some things that we couldn't 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:42.719 return fire on. We couldn't stop them in that a 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:45.360 gap as you were talking about yesterday. There was no 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:48.360 one there physically that can meet that pulling guard or 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:51.559 that tackle on and stop that. They're beating us out 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:55.120 to the edges and they're just destroying our secondary, our 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:58.640 secondary guys. And look, if we don't if we don't 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:00.880 get this fixed. It's not just is gonna be a problem. 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.319 It's gonna persist through the regular season. It's gonna be 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:06.439 something definitely, definitely that we're gonna face in the postseason 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:08.520 because we're gonna run into a run a. 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:11.960 Team you go see the very next week, no doubt, 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:14.880 no doubt. Detroit Lion is gonna come and do the 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:16.960 same thing. And they've got a really good offensive line. 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:21.480 Miami's got some offensive line issues and Vic Fangio is 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:22.800 a really good defensive coordinator. 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:25.200 So this is a challenge. 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:27.840 So you've got a cowboy team that's got a point 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:30.280 and a half. They're down under one point and a 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:33.600 half in this one. And Miami has only lost one 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:36.920 home playoff game all year. That was last week, uh 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:39.840 to Tennessee, where they I thought they were winning this thing, 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:42.760 and they were up deep in the fourth quarter double 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:45.720 digit leads. So they've got something to play for playing 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:47.760 for the division, being upset at home. 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:48.520 So this is. 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:55.880 This is to me seemingly like in terms of who 0:14:55.960 --> 0:15:03.520 comes into this game that fundamental football and doesn't shoot 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:05.480 themselves in the foot. I mean, you have to be 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:08.040 disciplined in this game here and be ready to go. 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:09.600 You talk about penalties. 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:12.920 Penalties, that's a part of it. 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:17.520 Assignments, you know, you talk about the where do you 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.560 need to be? Dan Quinn spoke yesterday about how guys 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:22.960 you know, said the tackles were bad. Twelve missed tackles. 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:26.240 So there's just there's no room for error this week 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:30.360 for the Cowboys, and you cannot repeat that type of performance. 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:32.680 I can't remember what it is the last time they 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:36.080 lost back to back games. But this is a challenge 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.240 because this team is good at home. They play well 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:41.640 at home. That's one thing they do, man, that they 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:43.960 play well at home. If you come in here half stepping, 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:47.240 I'm not saying they're gonna get seventy thrown on them, 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:51.440 but you can find yourself watching them roll up thirty 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:53.440 to forty because we've seen them do it all year long. 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:54.800 If you come half stepping. 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:58.120 You can see a forty piece and there's a guy 0:15:58.160 --> 0:15:59.600 on the other side who's trying to get two thousand 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:01.560 yards for the first time as an NFL receiver. 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:04.840 He ain't playing the season, all right, he ain't playing. 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:10.000 No, And I'm saying like he ain't playing at all. No, No, 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:13.960 he ain't missing it. Around he getting ready. Oh yeah. 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:16.560 When I saw him not play last week, I was like, well, 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:20.360 I know what he is playing. But you're absolutely correct 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:22.600 on the point that you're making about Miami at home. 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:24.840 They are a kin to us and what they've done 0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:27.160 at home six and one and the one loss that 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:28.840 they have, they sent them all the way out to 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:32.040 Germany to get that one loss to Kansas City. NFL 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:33.160 didn't do them week. 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:34.360 It was the Tennessee game. 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:38.400 Was it Tennessee? Okay, whichever one. Well, I could have 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:40.600 swore that it was the Germany game that they put 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:44.800 on their on their losses. But either way, I'm just saying, like, 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.600 this is a team that can beat you, and and 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:51.320 everybody know it's scummy Christmas time. Everybody's gonna be ready 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:54.040 to shut it down. What mentality does this team come 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:55.360 in with? And I think that's the one thing that 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:57.840 you don't trust. You don't trust the mentality of this 0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:00.400 football team. And I heard Micah on his part podcast 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:02.800 talk about that, the difference between how they play at 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:06.080 home and the mentality about how they play away. And you, 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:08.680 being a former player, I mean, what do you think 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:11.240 about that? Just the doctor Jacko missed the hyde of 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:14.320 both defenses, the one you take on the road versus 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:15.960 the one you see at home. I'm be I'm gonna 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:17.520 be honest with you. I think if you play that 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:19.600 that that Buffalo game that we just played, if you 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:21.560 play them at and T Stadium, I think you still 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:24.879 lose that game. Just based off what you see on film, 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:27.399 I don't. I'm not even because I'm not sure if 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:29.840 it was an intensity thing or prepared to play thing. 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.560 It's the same stuff that we've been seeing for the 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:35.080 last couple of seasons when it comes to stopping the run. 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:37.680 Like it's not it's not like, yeah, we had the 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:39.320 boom box and we was ready to go, or they 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:42.879 was hyping the same. It's not that it is an 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:47.440 assignment and being in the right place doing your job problem, 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:52.520 not a intensity, ready to pray play problem. Because if 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:55.160 you go watch the film, I'm sure that they've still 0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:57.320 made some of these same problems. I mean, had some 0:17:57.359 --> 0:17:59.920 of these same problems in the wins. It's just you're 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:02.200 your head and now these teams have to come out 0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:04.440 and pass the ball, so you don't get a chance 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:06.800 to see if they fix those issues. But then now 0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:11.360 when it rears ugly head again against the Buffalo Bills. 0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:13.720 And you know, we're already talking about the Miami Dolphins, 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:16.040 and I'm trying not to look forward, but I'm looking 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:18.440 at the Detroit team and I'm saying, you have three 0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:22.520 straight weeks of having an opportunity to fix what you 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:25.960 need to fix to get into the playoffs and be successful, 0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:28.800 which is probably the only good part about like what's 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:32.159 going on right now. You got three games to see 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:35.480 as many different type of run concepts as you possibly 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:37.679 have and work on being ready to face those when 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:39.920 you get into the playoffs, because I can guarantee you, 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:42.520 no matter who you play, they're going to try to 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:46.400 implement some type of resemblance of what you've been struggling 0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:49.040 with over the last couple of years. You're gonna see 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:51.520 it to you gonna see it. You're going to see it. 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:52.600 And you're right about Tennessee. 0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:53.000 That was that. 0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:54.919 That was a game they lost. That's six and one 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:55.400 at the crib. 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:58.240 Let's take a break when we come back, Let's dive 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:01.120 into the last three for the Cowboys in the last 0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:03.240 three weeks for the Eagles.

I can't lose 0:24:46.160 --> 0:24:46.480 that one. 0:24:47.160 --> 0:24:49.760 And then it's on the road against the Washington Commanders 0:24:49.760 --> 0:24:57.560 and the final ride for Ron rivera goodbye Ron, thank you, 0:24:57.600 --> 0:25:01.679 thank you for your service run. Meanwhile, Philadelphia has a 0:25:01.800 --> 0:25:05.560 home game against the New York Giants, then in week 0:25:05.600 --> 0:25:09.360 seventeen to home game against Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals, 0:25:09.400 --> 0:25:13.000 and then they end the season by going to MetLife 0:25:13.000 --> 0:25:14.520 Stadium to face the Giant Aget. 0:25:14.960 --> 0:25:16.479 So obviously. 0:25:17.520 --> 0:25:18.040 That column. 0:25:19.240 --> 0:25:22.080 I'm sorry, no, no, no, no, you know how I 0:25:22.119 --> 0:25:24.679 feel about the Arizona Cardinals. And I was watching the 0:25:24.720 --> 0:25:27.240 game against the well not I watched. I was keeping 0:25:27.320 --> 0:25:29.760 up with the score when they played San Frand this week, 0:25:30.200 --> 0:25:32.320 and at the beginning I had to I was about 0:25:32.320 --> 0:25:35.160 to text you, hey, I'm telling you see what I'm 0:25:35.200 --> 0:25:36.840 telling to be careful, and they found a way to 0:25:36.920 --> 0:25:39.639 run off with it. But the Arizona Cardinals team, to me, 0:25:39.760 --> 0:25:42.159 I don't care. It's scary for anybody that goes to 0:25:42.240 --> 0:25:44.199 play them or has to play them because of the 0:25:44.200 --> 0:25:47.040 weapon that they have a quarterback and some type of 0:25:47.080 --> 0:25:49.919 resilience that they have to no matter what their record is. 0:25:49.960 --> 0:25:52.479 Them dudes go out there and they play hard. So 0:25:53.320 --> 0:25:55.720 that is one to where we slipped up against Arizona, 0:25:55.760 --> 0:25:57.320 and we've been I've been like, man, that's the one 0:25:57.359 --> 0:25:59.679 that's gonna cost us. I think Philly could slip up 0:25:59.720 --> 0:26:00.760 the air Zona as well. 0:26:02.720 --> 0:26:09.480 Philadelphia as a head coach with institutional knowledge of what 0:26:09.680 --> 0:26:13.320 they want to do Arizona, yes, she said, Arizona, but 0:26:13.400 --> 0:26:15.359 what Philing wants to do because he was there last year. 0:26:16.359 --> 0:26:18.920 I do think that was also a help for them 0:26:18.960 --> 0:26:21.399 when they played the Cowboys. Okay, hey, look but we 0:26:21.480 --> 0:26:22.239 know what they want to do. 0:26:23.200 --> 0:26:25.600 You've got some institutional knowledge. 0:26:26.000 --> 0:26:29.200 I just I'm with you, and my god, sh if 0:26:29.200 --> 0:26:32.160 you listen to Philadelphia radio, they they think they're gonna 0:26:32.200 --> 0:26:32.880 lose the division. 0:26:32.880 --> 0:26:36.119 They the division's gone. I don't know how we're gonna win, 0:26:36.160 --> 0:26:36.720 how we're gonna win. 0:26:36.880 --> 0:26:37.160 We can't. 0:26:37.240 --> 0:26:39.480 We can't win anymore. I mean they they literally think 0:26:39.520 --> 0:26:40.680 they've lost their mojos. 0:26:40.680 --> 0:26:44.639 They've seen our schedules, they have they like they watched 0:26:44.680 --> 0:26:45.240 our game. 0:26:45.800 --> 0:26:48.239 They watched our game against the Buffalo Bills and then 0:26:48.280 --> 0:26:50.239 watch how they lost last night and figured that they 0:26:50.320 --> 0:26:52.600 was gonna lose the division. If anybody should be feeling 0:26:52.600 --> 0:26:55.000 that it should be, it should be us based off 0:26:55.240 --> 0:26:56.400 you know how that game went. 0:26:56.440 --> 0:26:58.480 But yeah, Philadelphia media tell you like. 0:26:58.880 --> 0:27:01.840 Philadelphia folks man, and they have given up the ship. Okay, 0:27:02.000 --> 0:27:03.879 they've given up the ship. They had said. They call 0:27:03.960 --> 0:27:07.359 them Tommy Cutlers. They out there praising Tommy DeVito up 0:27:07.359 --> 0:27:08.960 there with the Giants. They don't know how it's going 0:27:09.000 --> 0:27:16.440 to happen, so they and look why bull driving New 0:27:16.520 --> 0:27:20.600 York has fought with the old Tommy DeVito And you 0:27:20.720 --> 0:27:23.800 got two cracks. You got nothing to play for other 0:27:23.880 --> 0:27:25.960 than hey man, let's just ruin this thing for them. 0:27:26.400 --> 0:27:28.520 No, it's gonna it's gonna get interesting. And if you 0:27:28.600 --> 0:27:31.760 follow Nick Harris, he kind of outlines how this whole 0:27:31.760 --> 0:27:34.440 thing cracks out for the Dallas Cowboys if they win, 0:27:34.520 --> 0:27:38.040 if they lose, or how yesterday's loss to Seattle kind 0:27:38.040 --> 0:27:41.480 of made the Bills lost kind of nullified that whole thing. 0:27:41.520 --> 0:27:43.720 But I'm with you when it comes to Arizona. We 0:27:43.800 --> 0:27:46.760 saw what they had and do the same thing you did. 0:27:48.800 --> 0:27:54.840 Hey, So how about this all right? The Giants have 0:27:55.000 --> 0:27:58.120 won three of their last four games, Okay, since they 0:27:58.119 --> 0:28:01.920 got beat by the Cowboys they wanted while Washington they 0:28:02.240 --> 0:28:05.040 won against New England they had to buy. Then they 0:28:05.160 --> 0:28:07.720 won against the Packers, and then they lost at New Orleans. 0:28:07.880 --> 0:28:10.280 By the way, New Orleans is a tough place to play. 0:28:10.160 --> 0:28:10.960 Absolutely it is. 0:28:11.280 --> 0:28:14.840 So you know this, it's not crazy. 0:28:14.960 --> 0:28:17.560 Okay, that's my thing, just looking at here with the Giants, 0:28:17.640 --> 0:28:20.320 it's not crazy to think they could win a game 0:28:20.960 --> 0:28:23.879 one of two that they've got to go play against Philadelphia. 0:28:23.359 --> 0:28:25.240 And well, we've seen how bad that they are. 0:28:25.280 --> 0:28:26.720 And I think that's why it's kind of hard for 0:28:26.760 --> 0:28:29.119 you to get behind New York and say, Okay, they 0:28:29.119 --> 0:28:32.960 can pull out these two games in three weeks to Philadelphia. 0:28:32.960 --> 0:28:35.359 And I'm sure Philadelphia is hoping that that last game 0:28:35.400 --> 0:28:38.080 of the season has no meaning because the Cowboys have 0:28:38.160 --> 0:28:38.920 lost two in a row. 0:28:39.000 --> 0:28:39.760 Doesn't mean anything. 0:28:39.840 --> 0:28:43.240 And so really the Cowboys have their destination, have their 0:28:43.240 --> 0:28:47.120 destiny in their hands if they are going to win 0:28:47.200 --> 0:28:49.600 this top seed, the number one seed or number two seed, 0:28:49.640 --> 0:28:52.920 which however it ships out, because hey, San Francisco still 0:28:52.920 --> 0:28:55.320 has a few tough games on that schedule as well. 0:28:55.440 --> 0:28:58.520 So let's not let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. 0:28:58.600 --> 0:29:01.640 But I believe that the cow Boys need a home game. 0:29:02.200 --> 0:29:04.360 Let's just let's just say say it like it is. 0:29:04.600 --> 0:29:09.080 The Cowboys need a home game. And by winning your division, 0:29:09.120 --> 0:29:12.120 you are sharing yourself that you get that home game. 0:29:12.440 --> 0:29:14.680 It's all open, which and I know I said it 0:29:14.960 --> 0:29:17.640 after after week five and I got laughed at. But 0:29:17.640 --> 0:29:20.680 when I said, let it play out, we have to 0:29:20.760 --> 0:29:24.720 let it all play out, because what we think we know, 0:29:25.000 --> 0:29:27.560 we truly don't always know. And when you talk about 0:29:27.600 --> 0:29:31.440 San Francisco, they have Baltimore this week, then they're at 0:29:32.000 --> 0:29:34.760 Washington and then they're at home against against the Rams. 0:29:35.480 --> 0:29:37.880 Let's be playing for the playoffs spot. We're trying, we're 0:29:37.920 --> 0:29:39.600 trying to find a way to get into the playoffs. 0:29:39.920 --> 0:29:43.640 So so let's see how this thing plays out, because 0:29:44.320 --> 0:29:45.720 there are things to play for. 0:29:46.480 --> 0:29:49.320 And I don't know. 0:29:49.280 --> 0:29:51.800 What incentives guys have in contracts, but we know as 0:29:51.800 --> 0:29:53.880 you get towards the end here some guys, hey, why 0:29:53.920 --> 0:29:54.400 am I here? 0:29:54.440 --> 0:29:56.400 They got, they got, they got, they got a reason for. 0:29:56.360 --> 0:29:59.760 The season, and and you start thinking about these things 0:29:59.760 --> 0:30:01.200 here it's human nature. 0:30:01.560 --> 0:30:04.040 Human nature still and that's the thing that you talk 0:30:04.080 --> 0:30:06.680 about with New York. I mean, guys, at the end 0:30:06.720 --> 0:30:09.000 of the season, is that still going to be willing 0:30:09.000 --> 0:30:10.960 to say, all right, we're gonna put it on the 0:30:11.040 --> 0:30:14.560 line even in Week eighteen. So the season is definitely 0:30:14.600 --> 0:30:16.760 over for them. They're not going to playoffs, not going anywhere, 0:30:16.800 --> 0:30:19.200 So what incentive do they have. The only hope that 0:30:19.240 --> 0:30:22.440 I have of them catching another l is Arizona. I'm 0:30:22.480 --> 0:30:25.880 putting everything on Arizona. Are they are they officially eliminated 0:30:25.880 --> 0:30:26.440 from playoffs? 0:30:26.960 --> 0:30:30.800 The Giants? Yeah, I don't. 0:30:30.680 --> 0:30:32.680 Think I see that come across it. That's that's better 0:30:32.760 --> 0:30:35.240 for us They're not. Yeah, yeah, that's better for us. 0:30:35.600 --> 0:30:38.440 As long as they believe they fighting for something. Okay, 0:30:38.560 --> 0:30:43.000 that's better than that next week fight. I think I 0:30:43.040 --> 0:30:46.560 saw something that said they are they are still in 0:30:46.800 --> 0:30:49.400 contention for the number two pick in the draft and 0:30:49.480 --> 0:30:52.040 also the playoffs. Everything that they have as far as 0:30:52.040 --> 0:30:54.520 a scenario of them making the playoffs ends and the 0:30:54.560 --> 0:30:55.840 cow jumps over the movie. 0:30:57.040 --> 0:30:58.400 This is a lot has to happen. 0:31:00.080 --> 0:31:05.880 A quarterback here in Tommy DeVito, who, for whatever reason, 0:31:06.240 --> 0:31:08.160 these people have attached themselves too. 0:31:08.960 --> 0:31:10.040 They are into this guy. 0:31:10.160 --> 0:31:14.280 What happened to Danny Dives? We're gonna switch Danny because. 0:31:18.000 --> 0:31:18.320 Happened. 0:31:18.520 --> 0:31:19.920 They trying to hold onto something. 0:31:19.960 --> 0:31:22.520 So if this guy is rolling people and he and 0:31:22.920 --> 0:31:32.000 fine this so they want to if they want to 0:31:32.040 --> 0:31:35.240 latch onto this, let him latch onto it. But if 0:31:35.240 --> 0:31:39.800 you're Tommy DeVito, you were playing because you want to 0:31:39.840 --> 0:31:42.520 have a role on this anybody else who's on this football. 0:31:42.640 --> 0:31:45.040 The Giants are gonna make some changes. Okay, this is 0:31:45.080 --> 0:31:47.720 a team. They've got to make some changes here. So 0:31:48.200 --> 0:31:51.000 and Danny, you've been on teams where hey, what am 0:31:51.040 --> 0:31:52.720 I playing for? I'm playing for I need I need 0:31:52.760 --> 0:31:54.240 some looks. I gotta get some tape out of it. 0:31:54.680 --> 0:31:56.400 And the last thing people you want people, last thing 0:31:56.440 --> 0:31:59.480 you are laying down looking like them, them stealer receivers 0:31:59.480 --> 0:32:00.120 is watching. 0:31:59.840 --> 0:32:01.640 For goun O. 0:32:02.280 --> 0:32:06.480 Man, it's some bad ball going around. It's just some bad, 0:32:06.600 --> 0:32:07.959 bad coaching. 0:32:08.160 --> 0:32:09.240 It's a lot. It's a lot of that. 0:32:09.320 --> 0:32:12.240 Yeah, get you have your just give your agent something 0:32:12.280 --> 0:32:15.560 to sell, not you laying down. So I look at 0:32:15.600 --> 0:32:18.760 these games and just say, hey, look, guys are guys 0:32:18.800 --> 0:32:20.160 are gonna have to go out here and earn some 0:32:20.240 --> 0:32:21.880 checks and start to look toward next year. 0:32:21.920 --> 0:32:23.520 So I just I just won't blow it off. 0:32:23.520 --> 0:32:25.600 As you know, they're gonna lay down and not care 0:32:25.640 --> 0:32:27.760 because we've seen it in their games. 0:32:28.000 --> 0:32:30.600 They've won three or four and sod. 0:32:30.600 --> 0:32:32.719 To me, what happened in New Orleans was not a 0:32:32.760 --> 0:32:34.920 shock to the Giants because the Saints have played well 0:32:34.960 --> 0:32:36.240 at home and they got a good defense. 0:32:36.280 --> 0:32:41.560 Their defenses it's good and Alvin Kamara is Alvin Kamara still, but. 0:32:41.720 --> 0:32:43.360 Car didn't throw them out the game, which is the. 0:32:44.960 --> 0:32:47.560 Shout out to Jimmy Graham too, because two tondowns on 0:32:47.600 --> 0:32:49.600 the last couple of weeks and that's. 0:32:49.440 --> 0:32:53.360 He on your fantasy No, I I'm just seeing. 0:32:53.200 --> 0:32:54.760 I'm just seeing the older guy go out and make 0:32:54.800 --> 0:32:57.160 big time plays in the rison. I'm like, okay, because 0:32:57.160 --> 0:32:59.320 we were talking about the possibility to have to play 0:32:59.480 --> 0:33:03.400 the NFC so right and having to travel to New 0:33:03.520 --> 0:33:06.560 Orleans bo to mention Tampa's right, so you look so 0:33:07.000 --> 0:33:09.160 to me, it's like I got to watch the NFC 0:33:09.200 --> 0:33:11.320 South play now and see like what they really have 0:33:12.760 --> 0:33:13.480 and yeah, the New. 0:33:13.480 --> 0:33:15.680 Orleans Saints, I do have their defense on my fantasy team. 0:33:15.640 --> 0:33:20.000 But the offense not good, the office is not good, 0:33:20.000 --> 0:33:21.240 but Kamara has been good. 0:33:21.480 --> 0:33:25.800 Right now, Tampa is in first place, holding the tiebreaker 0:33:25.880 --> 0:33:27.760 seven and seven or three and won the Division. New 0:33:27.840 --> 0:33:29.760 Orleans is in second. They're seven and seven, two and 0:33:29.760 --> 0:33:33.560 two in the division. So Tampa ends, They've got Jacksonville 0:33:34.040 --> 0:33:36.800 at home, They've got New Orleans at home, then they 0:33:37.000 --> 0:33:40.600 end at Carolina. Meanwhile, New Orleans has to go to 0:33:40.680 --> 0:33:43.719 the Rams this week, then they're at Tampa Bay and 0:33:43.760 --> 0:33:45.720 then they host Atlanta ended. 0:33:45.840 --> 0:33:47.320 So I gotta fight. 0:33:47.800 --> 0:33:50.800 Yeah, yeah, there, there's there, there's that that that game 0:33:50.880 --> 0:33:54.160 this week, you talk about the Rams and the Saints. 0:33:54.360 --> 0:33:55.320 That's a game to watch. 0:33:55.480 --> 0:33:57.920 It is, it's it's it's getting tough for at the 0:33:58.000 --> 0:33:59.440 end of the season for a lot of teams not 0:33:59.520 --> 0:34:02.800 named Philly. So I'm I'm just looking at our schedule 0:34:02.840 --> 0:34:05.400 what we have right now. I mean, even this Miami 0:34:05.400 --> 0:34:07.200 game is you guys who've been talking about the running 0:34:07.240 --> 0:34:09.560 game and just how do you stop all of it. 0:34:09.880 --> 0:34:11.480 We hadn't even got over to the other side on 0:34:11.520 --> 0:34:14.279 the defense to talk about guys like Christian Wilkes in 0:34:14.320 --> 0:34:15.040 their cornerback. 0:34:15.120 --> 0:34:16.040 So it's gonna be tough. 0:34:16.120 --> 0:34:17.880 Let's do that next. Okay that next, We'll do that 0:34:17.880 --> 0:34:20.120 with Heck Maharrison, Danmi MCRABNWS scores.

This is a tough match off all around. 0:37:43.160 --> 0:37:45.879 As far as on the defensive side, there's two guys 0:37:45.920 --> 0:37:48.319 that they have over there and Xavier and Howard fifth 0:37:48.360 --> 0:37:51.640 Wards a U as they call him. He's a tough 0:37:51.640 --> 0:37:55.000 cornerback man, always have been. Jayalen Ramsey also very tough. 0:37:55.000 --> 0:37:57.680 We're familiar with him by playing playing the Rams. I'm 0:37:57.719 --> 0:38:00.560 interested offensively coming into a game, but we want to 0:38:00.560 --> 0:38:02.920 see our offense get restarted. I think they took a 0:38:02.920 --> 0:38:05.520 step back last week as far as Mike McCarthy being 0:38:05.560 --> 0:38:07.920 in his bag, and this is a week where you 0:38:07.960 --> 0:38:09.560 come up against the Miami defense. 0:38:09.600 --> 0:38:11.200 That's good. 0:38:11.680 --> 0:38:14.600 Vic Vangiols like every other defensive coordinator, a little arrogant, 0:38:14.680 --> 0:38:16.360 little egotistical and his coverages. 0:38:16.680 --> 0:38:19.520 So let's see how he tries to play our Cede Lamb. 0:38:19.560 --> 0:38:21.960 If he leaves guys like Xavin Howard and Ramsey on 0:38:22.000 --> 0:38:24.680 an island with him, I think that matchup botes well 0:38:24.760 --> 0:38:27.279 for us. But we have got to as much as 0:38:27.280 --> 0:38:30.360 we're talking about everybody else's running game, we've got to 0:38:30.360 --> 0:38:32.440 figure out a way to jump start our running game, 0:38:32.600 --> 0:38:37.760 especially going into the playoffs. Yeah, this has me nervous 0:38:38.440 --> 0:38:41.239 because I saw what Buffalo was able to do to 0:38:41.320 --> 0:38:43.680 us as far as kind of picking up on some 0:38:43.800 --> 0:38:46.120 of the route concepts, the things that we do more 0:38:46.160 --> 0:38:50.080 often than not, and being able to customize their zone 0:38:50.120 --> 0:38:52.319 coverage to take away some of the stuff that Dak 0:38:52.520 --> 0:38:57.240 really really likes to do. And it's the NFL, and 0:38:57.320 --> 0:38:59.480 once you put it on tape, once somebody puts the 0:38:59.520 --> 0:39:02.000 blueprint out there, you have to find a way to 0:39:02.080 --> 0:39:04.760 then adjust to make sure. 0:39:04.600 --> 0:39:06.520 That they can't do that to you the entire game. 0:39:06.560 --> 0:39:09.239 And I'm telling I guarantee, you're gonna see the same 0:39:09.400 --> 0:39:11.640 some of the same stuff that you saw against Buffalo 0:39:12.400 --> 0:39:15.319 come in to play against Miami. Now, the cornerbacks that 0:39:15.360 --> 0:39:17.920 they have for Miami to me a lot better than 0:39:17.960 --> 0:39:19.960 the cornerbacks that they rolled out there for Buffalo. So 0:39:20.000 --> 0:39:22.120 you're gonna see some more man to man trying to 0:39:22.120 --> 0:39:23.640 stop the run to make sure that they put it 0:39:23.680 --> 0:39:25.719 all in Dak's hands. And I think that's when you'll 0:39:25.719 --> 0:39:28.360 see some of that zone covers. But we do have 0:39:28.440 --> 0:39:30.520 to find a way to run the football, like you 0:39:30.640 --> 0:39:33.719 have to, because we saw what happens when you can't, 0:39:33.960 --> 0:39:36.719 or when when it's not a possible you don't feel 0:39:36.760 --> 0:39:38.680 like that's a way to get you back into the game. 0:39:39.000 --> 0:39:40.279 Then all of a sudden you got three and out 0:39:40.280 --> 0:39:42.200 at the three and out, their drives are stopping, and 0:39:42.200 --> 0:39:44.239 then the defense can't stop anybody, and for you know what, 0:39:44.280 --> 0:39:47.799 the game's out of hand. Playoff football is gonna make 0:39:47.840 --> 0:39:49.800 sure that you have the ability to run the football 0:39:49.800 --> 0:39:52.200 because if you don't, probably gonna be out of there 0:39:52.200 --> 0:39:54.920 pretty quick. We've seen it, you know, over and over again. 0:39:55.680 --> 0:39:58.480 Point and a half underdog in this one. This is 0:39:58.640 --> 0:40:01.640 this is the respond game. You know, they've been good 0:40:01.680 --> 0:40:05.120 at bouncing back after losses. This is a very tough 0:40:05.160 --> 0:40:07.360 place to play and this is a challenging matchup. So 0:40:07.440 --> 0:40:09.319 I just wonder how much is this a pride game 0:40:09.560 --> 0:40:10.080 for guys? 0:40:10.239 --> 0:40:12.680 God, it has to be, especially when you put We 0:40:12.719 --> 0:40:15.440 talked about the tape yesterday and I said, hey, I 0:40:15.480 --> 0:40:17.720 don't want to go in that film room watch that tape. 0:40:17.880 --> 0:40:19.399 If I'm one of those guys, go get the red 0:40:19.440 --> 0:40:21.000 dot put on me and say that's you. 0:40:21.320 --> 0:40:21.640 That's you. 0:40:21.800 --> 0:40:25.719 Whiffing right there, that's you, and it's gonna be even tough. 0:40:25.840 --> 0:40:28.719 I think there's been this narrative that's starting to be 0:40:28.719 --> 0:40:31.160 written on dan Quinn's defense that they can't deal with motion. 0:40:31.320 --> 0:40:32.120 Something about motion. 0:40:32.239 --> 0:40:34.719 Anytime there's motion, dan Quinn's defense is giving up the 0:40:34.719 --> 0:40:37.120 most yards anytime a team incorporate motions. 0:40:37.120 --> 0:40:38.920 Well, co Sol Ruther, he come. 0:40:38.840 --> 0:40:39.319 With the motion. 0:40:39.480 --> 0:40:41.400 You know exactly what he's gonna do. They try and 0:40:41.520 --> 0:40:44.640 kick out blocks with tight ends tackles. But their offensive 0:40:44.640 --> 0:40:47.000 line hadn't been healthy as as you talked about earlier. 0:40:47.040 --> 0:40:49.120 And I think that's the one thing that I feel like, Hey, 0:40:49.280 --> 0:40:52.080 if we can shut that part of their offense down, 0:40:52.320 --> 0:40:54.879 then we still have a serious undertaking that I think 0:40:54.920 --> 0:40:58.239 I trust with my man Gilly and Deron Bland. But 0:40:58.680 --> 0:41:02.359 on the other side, it has been our offense that 0:41:03.280 --> 0:41:06.080 as of late, those forty points at home, then it's 0:41:06.080 --> 0:41:08.600 made so many things easier for our defense. But when 0:41:08.640 --> 0:41:12.200 we see our defense having to pack in get stops. Lately, 0:41:12.239 --> 0:41:14.279 my only thing that's been worrisome is the fact that 0:41:14.320 --> 0:41:15.480 they haven't been able to do it. 0:41:16.000 --> 0:41:19.680 Thirty points last week for the offense and zero points allowed. 0:41:19.760 --> 0:41:25.600 So man, it's just the beauty of the National Football 0:41:25.680 --> 0:41:28.040 League is just a great soap opera every week. We 0:41:28.080 --> 0:41:29.800 don't know, Oh it's so good. But I'll tell you 0:41:29.960 --> 0:41:32.799 right now, I don't feel good about this one. Don't 0:41:32.880 --> 0:41:34.640 not at all about this one. 0:41:34.760 --> 0:41:38.879 I don't like there's no path to success for y'all 0:41:38.920 --> 0:41:41.600 in this Miami game. Do you not see our offense 0:41:41.680 --> 0:41:47.600 having If CD explodes a bill fifty two tuddies, nothing 0:41:47.640 --> 0:41:49.960 about that says victory for you. I think we're going 0:41:50.040 --> 0:41:52.799 to have a better off offensive outing than we had 0:41:52.840 --> 0:41:54.680 against Buffalo, That's all I can say. 0:41:54.719 --> 0:41:57.279 I think it'd be better than that right now. I 0:41:57.360 --> 0:41:58.800 just I'm not sure. 0:42:00.840 --> 0:42:02.640 I have to see us be able to rebound from 0:42:02.680 --> 0:42:05.839 getting shut down on offense like this, because ever since 0:42:05.840 --> 0:42:08.000 the Boy week, we haven't seen like, we haven't seen that. 0:42:08.040 --> 0:42:10.279 We've seen us be able to roll, we've seen us 0:42:10.280 --> 0:42:12.120 be able to get CD involved, we've seen us be 0:42:12.120 --> 0:42:14.520 able to get Brandon Cooks involved Tony Pollard with the 0:42:14.560 --> 0:42:17.120 monster runs and making sure that they were statement runs. 0:42:17.160 --> 0:42:20.080 We've seen that, and then this game we didn't see 0:42:20.120 --> 0:42:22.080 it to where we were able to get out of 0:42:22.120 --> 0:42:23.600 that rut. 0:42:23.280 --> 0:42:25.040 And then start rolling again. 0:42:25.560 --> 0:42:29.399 So I need to see how we respond offensively more 0:42:29.440 --> 0:42:31.880 than defensively to me, to see, hey man, all right, 0:42:31.880 --> 0:42:33.279 they seen it, they know how to stop it. 0:42:33.560 --> 0:42:35.359 Are we able to adjust and then get this thing 0:42:35.440 --> 0:42:35.879 rolling again? 0:42:35.960 --> 0:42:38.080 But if you respond and you're able to score twenty 0:42:38.120 --> 0:42:39.759 one and twenty eight points and they go out and 0:42:39.760 --> 0:42:42.879 they get thirty one to thirty five, that can happen too. 0:42:43.719 --> 0:42:49.840 That's right. But listen, that's still better than Buffalo. The 0:42:49.920 --> 0:42:52.400 offensive performance that we put out there against Buffalo when 0:42:52.440 --> 0:42:56.040 the game really mattered was it. 0:42:55.920 --> 0:42:57.160 Was non existent everything. 0:42:57.960 --> 0:43:00.120 It was none for the players that you have on 0:43:00.160 --> 0:43:02.920 offense for the year that Cede Lamb has been having. 0:43:03.440 --> 0:43:05.520 For us to go out there and not really be 0:43:05.560 --> 0:43:08.960 able to get anything when when it was meaningful, is 0:43:09.440 --> 0:43:12.279 that it's alarming to me. So I need to see 0:43:12.400 --> 0:43:14.960 us be able to Now it's on tape. Okay, now, 0:43:15.360 --> 0:43:18.520 other defensive coordinators know what you need to do. Is 0:43:18.600 --> 0:43:20.879 this a pattern now or was that just a bad 0:43:20.920 --> 0:43:22.920 game because we hadn't seen it since you came out 0:43:22.920 --> 0:43:23.440 of the baw week. 0:43:23.480 --> 0:43:24.680 We've been rolling ever since. 0:43:24.840 --> 0:43:27.640 I want to call it a just bad game, so 0:43:27.800 --> 0:43:31.440 bad because of what you did last week versus versus Philly. 0:43:32.280 --> 0:43:34.919 But that Bill's tape, man burn it, throw away, please 0:43:34.920 --> 0:43:36.799 get rid of it, and hoping nobody else saw it. 0:43:37.040 --> 0:43:38.840 My question to you guys was about Tua. 0:43:39.040 --> 0:43:40.600 How do you I mean, as far as the elite 0:43:40.760 --> 0:43:43.959 so middle of the pack quarterbacks, what's your feeling on Tuur? 0:43:45.160 --> 0:43:47.600 I'm not I'm not really that concerned about Tua because 0:43:47.840 --> 0:43:49.000 it's all about the running game. 0:43:50.440 --> 0:43:50.799 This is it. 0:43:51.280 --> 0:43:53.160 They're going to go after the Cowboys and run the 0:43:53.200 --> 0:43:57.320 ball and obviously the play action passing will work based 0:43:57.320 --> 0:44:00.799 off what they're able to do there. But we know 0:44:00.840 --> 0:44:03.400 that Tua is gonna be able to hit guys. I 0:44:03.480 --> 0:44:05.440 means just like last week coming off the back, he 0:44:05.440 --> 0:44:08.080 didn't have a great game against Tennessee guys, still able 0:44:08.080 --> 0:44:11.560 to get down only one touchdown pass. They play defense 0:44:11.600 --> 0:44:13.359 like they've been playing. They run the football. I don't 0:44:13.400 --> 0:44:15.920 think it matters that too. It doesn't have to be great. 0:44:16.880 --> 0:44:19.600 How about that two would throw you the ball? 0:44:20.480 --> 0:44:22.200 I think you have to get yourself in a position 0:44:22.320 --> 0:44:24.480 to try to get some pressure on them, which is 0:44:24.600 --> 0:44:26.239 stopping the run. So I think it all kind of 0:44:26.239 --> 0:44:28.279 goes together like you got to be able to try 0:44:28.280 --> 0:44:30.400 to put it into it. As bad as it sounds 0:44:30.400 --> 0:44:33.480 with Tyree, I'm still the the mindset of you cannot 0:44:33.520 --> 0:44:34.879 let a team come here and run up and down 0:44:34.920 --> 0:44:37.040 the field on you. You have to make the quarterback 0:44:37.120 --> 0:44:39.800 beat you. And I think Tua is a quarterback who 0:44:40.239 --> 0:44:42.040 I think we can get the best of if we 0:44:42.200 --> 0:44:42.880 force it. 0:44:42.760 --> 0:44:43.920 To be in his hands. 0:44:44.080 --> 0:44:46.280 If not, and he has an option to do either one, 0:44:46.480 --> 0:44:48.720 you know, kill kill, kill, the check for eight yards, 0:44:48.880 --> 0:44:50.320 then you have a hard time. 0:44:50.560 --> 0:44:52.480 Chris beaming and we're up against the time. 0:44:52.480 --> 0:44:55.160 But something I gotta dive into and try and figure out, 0:44:55.719 --> 0:45:00.760 what is the Cowboys record in December down there South Florida. 0:45:01.200 --> 0:45:04.279 Because I had a conversation with Dennis Thurman yesterday and 0:45:04.400 --> 0:45:06.319 and Dt told me said, oh yeah, going back to 0:45:06.320 --> 0:45:06.880 when I play. 0:45:06.760 --> 0:45:09.200 Said we don't play well in Miami. 0:45:09.880 --> 0:45:12.120 We never played. We never played well there. And then 0:45:12.200 --> 0:45:14.719 when he was a defensive coordinator in Buffalo, that was 0:45:14.719 --> 0:45:16.680 the year Kellen Moore played. And he's like, oh yeah, yeah, 0:45:16.920 --> 0:45:19.040 Cowboys came up there and got dusted up too. He's like, 0:45:19.280 --> 0:45:21.799 it's never been Western New York in December has never 0:45:21.800 --> 0:45:23.759 been good for the Cowboys. And I wonder what is 0:45:24.160 --> 0:45:26.799 what is it for Miami for the Cowboys as well, 0:45:26.840 --> 0:45:30.880 because just throughout the league it is just no Florida, 0:45:31.320 --> 0:45:35.880 South Florida December hard, Western New York in December hard. 0:45:36.239 --> 0:45:38.239 And here the Cowboys going, you know, in the back 0:45:38.280 --> 0:45:40.080 to back places where they're going to be underdogs for 0:45:40.120 --> 0:45:41.520 the second straight week in tough places. 0:45:41.600 --> 0:45:42.840 Place. I wonder what the record is. 0:45:42.880 --> 0:45:44.480 Don't leave the hotel, guys. 0:45:47.600 --> 0:45:50.279 It's Christmas Eve, yes, don't come on, man, don't go 0:45:50.360 --> 0:45:59.319 shopping to South Florida, West Palm Pass, don't stay in 0:45:59.440 --> 0:46:02.000 Southeast pay all the ubers not to come over to 0:46:02.239 --> 0:46:03.400 you know, do all that stuff. 0:46:03.400 --> 0:46:04.800 Man, go get sleep. 0:46:05.280 --> 0:46:08.560 We've only played once in December in Miami, and that 0:46:08.719 --> 0:46:10.400 was in nineteen eighty one. 0:46:10.800 --> 0:46:13.040 Eighty four, eighty four, Dann Marino. 0:46:13.360 --> 0:46:17.359 Miami one, twenty eight, twenty one.
