13
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: We gotta talk about that game yesterday. There were so

14
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: many moments, so many things that we got to talk about,

15
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: so many opinions that I'm sure we have after watching

16
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: what we watched yesterday. Cowboys lose twenty two to the

17
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: Arizona Arizona Cardinals. Kyler Murray remains unbeaten at AT and

18
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,279
Speaker 1: T Stadium, through high school, college and the professional ranks.

19
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: So let's jump right in and let's start first I'm

20
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 1: going to go around the table. I want everybody to

21
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: tell me what was your big pictures takeaway from that game.

22
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 1: Let's start with you, Dave. Well, this one's really easy

23
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: because all last week I in my mind I build

24
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: this as a dress rehearsal for the playoffs. It's it's

25
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: exactly what you're expecting to see in a couple of weeks.

26
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: It's you're gonna get a home game against a good

27
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: team and to see if you're going to carry any

28
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: of this progress from the last five weeks over, and

29
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: at least mainly for me offensively, they didn't. You knew

30
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: it wasn't going to look as good as as what

31
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: we certainly what we saw against Washington, but even some

32
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: of these other wins against these overmatched teams. Like I said,

33
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: it's just a perfect encapsulation. Kyler Murray is a much

34
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: better quarterback than you're, Mike Glennon, your Taylor Heineke. It's

35
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: going to be harder to get him on the ground.

36
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: It's gonna be harder to force him into mistakes. So

37
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: the defense isn't playing on this god mode level. I

38
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: did think they played well enough to win this game.

39
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: Weird as that might sound, but just nothing that we've

40
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 1: hoped to see from this offense, and what we saw

41
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: last week carried over. It looked like the exact same thing.

42
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: And I don't blame anybody that's kind of discouraged today,

43
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: because again, it might not be the Cardinals. It very

44
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: likely will be. It might not be the Cardinals, but

45
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: you are going to play a team like that in

46
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: two weeks. Probably they are very likely going to be

47
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,679
Speaker 1: the four seeds. So you're talking about facing the best

48
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: wild card possible and they got some work to do

49
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: and not a lot of time to do it. Amber, Yeah,

50
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: I'm really bummed out. I mean, you guys know how

51
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: much I come on here and complain, specially on Mondays

52
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: after a loss. And right now, just like that, Dave said,

53
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: you saw this game kind of like a playoff game,

54
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: and it's just like coming to the realization of how

55
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: little time there's left to get into the playoffs. And

56
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: then let's say fast forward two weeks into that game

57
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: and you got a similar result as last night. It's like, damn,

58
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: that's it. Like there's the season there, and the next

59
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: thing we know, we're talking about free agency, we're talking

60
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 1: about the draft, waiting a few months to get into

61
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: training camp and then start all over again. And it's

62
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: just like I just I really don't want it to

63
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: end that quickly. And although I really believe, I still

64
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: believe the Cowboys are very much capable to getting a

65
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: lot further than one playoff game. They don't have much

66
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: time left, like Dave said, they better figure out. And

67
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: it just sucks because, especially after the win against Washington,

68
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: you thought, Okay, this is great, great timing for them,

69
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: and then you face a team like the Cardinals and

70
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: then you play the way that you did and wait

71
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: so long into the game on the offensive side of

72
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: the ball to get moving. That's just it can't happen,

73
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: and you can't win games like that, especially when the

74
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: defense it's unable to keep up playing at the high

75
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: level level that they have been playing for you and

76
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: getting you the ball with turnovers. When that happens, then

77
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: what do you do. That's the time that the offense

78
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: needs to pick it up for the defense. Nick they're

79
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: one dimensional, they can't run, and their quarterback isn't good

80
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: enough to be to carry the team by himself. That's

81
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: what it is. He's not He can't he can't come

82
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: in this league to do that. He wasn't that quarterback.

83
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: He's had some games where he's developed as a passer,

84
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: and he certainly has developed as a passer, but this

85
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: is a one dimensional team and they can't figure it

86
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: out how to run the ball, and I think that's

87
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: gonna even hurt him in the playoffs. Let's let's dive

88
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: in a little bit more on that, because I think,

89
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: really if you look at this team over the last

90
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: even I mean outside of the Washington game, where obviously

91
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: they had this huge explosion of points, even against some

92
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: bad teams, this offense has struggled mightily. Here you go

93
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: back to the middle of the season on this has

94
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: been a struggle seemingly most weeks, and the offense, led

95
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: by Dak Prescott just hasn't seemed to find its footing.

96
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: They can't seem to find a rhythm. Dak yesterday was

97
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: twenty four thirty eight sixty three percent completions, three touchdown,

98
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 1: zero interceptions. This was the part I actually liked about

99
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: his game yesterday. He had five carries for twenty yards,

100
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: and those runs seemed like they were like he was decisive,

101
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: he knew when the play and he didn't have anything

102
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: and he needed to run and then he tried to

103
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: get what he could get out of it. I liked

104
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: that part of his game. But he did also have

105
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: the critical fumble there that led to a field goal.

106
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: That may have been the difference. There were lots of

107
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: moments that you could mean that you could have talked

108
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: with a difference. But talking about Dak's play specifically, how

109
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: did Dak play in this game yesterday? Nick, Well, he didn't,

110
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: you know, twenty yards rushing. He should not lead the

111
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: team and rushing, I mean that's the problem. I mean

112
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: he had to you know, that's good for him to

113
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: do that, and of course not the fumble, But I

114
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: thought he missed the lot of throws early in the game.

115
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: I mean, he comes back like he normally you know does,

116
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: and his stats look pretty good, but I thought they

117
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: just left too many things out on the on the

118
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: field early in the game. Um and only say this too,

119
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: Like I said, he's not good enough to kind of

120
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: lead it by himself. Who is I mean, there's one, right,

121
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: I just gotta say something, somebody else, one guy in

122
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 1: the NFL that can do it by himself. That's like

123
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: when people used to just one. You know, they compare

124
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: Garrett or any coach to Belichick. I was like, Okay,

125
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: that one's different. But I mean, like the everyone needs

126
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: a little bit of help, and he's always had that

127
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,239
Speaker 1: help it right now it's not happening, and it's putting

128
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: it all on his shoulders. I just want you're saying Rogers, right, Okay, yeah,

129
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 1: Well because you could be you could mean Mahomes. Here's

130
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: the thing about Mahomes, Like you could say, maybe Mahomes

131
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: can do it. He hasn't had to know. He's got

132
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: the best tight end in football, one of the best

133
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: sceivers in football. Yes, he's got just making sure he's

134
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: got help, just making sure. No, I'm with Nick. I mean,

135
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: he wasn't awful, but he wasn't good enough, and particularly

136
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: early on in the game. The I think the play

137
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: that burned into my brain is the third and nine

138
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: on the missfield goal drive. I mean, he had him right,

139
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: that's a throw that he should make more often than not.

140
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: He had pressure. But so what you're Dak Prescott and

141
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: that just that was a theme for the early part

142
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: of the game. You could tell And another thing that

143
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: this reminded me of and we know this, but we

144
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: managed to forget it all the time. Anyway, A lot

145
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: of really good coaches and players in this league like

146
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: for Arizona to be as shorthanded as they are. Vance

147
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: Joseph has been a head coach. He's a great defensive coordinator.

148
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: He's down on the boundary, like just doesn't have his

149
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: preferred cornerbacks, not all of them, anyway, And it didn't

150
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: seem to bother him whatsoever. And all I need to

151
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: know to know that the Cardinals got to Dak is

152
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,239
Speaker 1: how many times they got their hands on his passes

153
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: in this game. Like they were in his they were

154
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: in his throwing lanes, they were reading his screens. He

155
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: adjusted to it, but they and Buddha Baker said this

156
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: after the games, like, you can't give him a static look.

157
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: You gotta be changing, you gotta be coming at him

158
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: from different angles. And he struggled to adjust to it

159
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: early on. And I think that's a big part of

160
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: the reason what they didn't score until the final two

161
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: minutes of the first half, scored seven points in the

162
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: first half. I mean, that's that's not good enough. When

163
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: you're talking about the firepower that this offense has. The

164
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: interesting part about that is they talked about this last week.

165
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: They've talked about it other weeks. The Cowboys half that

166
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: teams have basically figured out that they got a disguise

167
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: looks and give them different looks and change those looks

168
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: as they go. They knew this was coming, they still

169
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: weren't ready for it, and that's the part where and

170
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: they thought that their up tempo would help with that. Yesterday.

171
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: They started off in the in the first series trying

172
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: to do up tempo. But when you're not when you're

173
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: not able to execute that, you can't keep going up tempo.

174
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: And so they were their own enemy. They didn't have

175
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: an answer for something they knew was coming. I think

176
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: next right, and I'm i'm I'm. I'm such a big

177
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: supporter of Dak and he has grown as a passer

178
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: and in spurts he can carry this team when you're

179
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: trying to rally and in these situations. He played a

180
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: great fourth quarter minus the fumble, played any better fourth

181
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 1: quarter against Vegas and still wasn't enough. And maybe it's oversimplified,

182
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: but like without that run game giving you something that

183
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: can shake defenses out of these if you're gonna drop

184
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: seven or eight and clog and cover, which I mean

185
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: I always I always get annoyed when people say, like, oh,

186
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: the blueprints out, but the Cowboys haven't done a whole

187
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: lot to shake people out of that idea. And I

188
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: think a big part of it is that nobody's afraid

189
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: of their ability to run the ball on them. I

190
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 1: think that I think, I don't think it can be understated.

191
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: I was going to mention the coaching, I mean put

192
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: in the players aside on the Arizona side of the ball.

193
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: I think many times that I was watching the game,

194
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 1: usually when something when a play goes the opposite way

195
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys, I'm like, God, damn, I'll get upset.

196
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 1: And then last night I'm like, oh, yesterday, I'm like, okay,

197
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: all right, that was pretty well. I'll give it to them.

198
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: But then they got out coached by Arizona. The Cowboys.

199
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: I don't think there were other than the play where

200
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: Wilson threw the ball. Other than that play, I don't

201
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: think there was anything else. I was like creative enough

202
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: for me or anything that Kellen Moore did in order

203
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: to help the offense to get moving. And that's what

204
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: I'm honestly lacking. That's what I think has been lacking

205
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: for a few weeks. Is Kellen Moore in his game

206
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: and you talk about them. Okay, yes, you can do

207
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: that at the beginning of the season because you're showing

208
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: something new, but then teams do figure you out. But

209
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: at the same time, how come other teams can still

210
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: do it? I mean, you can watch tape from Arizona

211
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: season long and you're not doing You're not able to

212
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: do the same, So how come you're not doing it

213
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: as well? You know? So, I don't think that's really

214
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: an excuse. You are far past that you can be

215
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: able to switch around plays and come up with something

216
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: different to show the opposing team. But I don't know

217
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: what's going on. I'm kind of very disappointed at what

218
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore has been doing the past few weeks. Let

219
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: me ask you this, Do you think that because I

220
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: didn't really see a ton of creativity from what the

221
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: Cardinals did yesterday. I think sometimes we say if it's

222
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: not working, you're not being creative enough. If it is working,

223
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: you must be being creative, when really I think yesterday

224
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: the Cardinals just executed better like they beat the Cowboys,

225
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: Like there were plays where the Cowboys just didn't execute well,

226
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: specifically on defense, when you had some of those big

227
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: plays forty two yard or the forty three yarder, like

228
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 1: they just got beat. I mean, they honestly just got beat.

229
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: I don't think there was anything really creative about that.

230
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: And so, you know, I still think you're right that

231
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: ultimately Kevin Moore has to figure out how to get

232
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: his offense going. But I don't know if it's an

233
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: issue of creativity or is it an issue of execution.

234
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: Are they just not executing well? You know, I would argue,

235
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: and I'd have to go back and look. But like

236
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: if you think about the big chunk plays that the

237
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: Cardinals hit on offense, like three of them came on

238
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: the first possession of the game, Like Greg Doorche has

239
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: the end a round for twenty four right off the bat,

240
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: Edmonds had another great run and they catch Trayvon Dicks

241
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: on the stor go. I just listed off like a

242
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: quarter of their four hundred yards on the first drive

243
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: of the game. I thought, like I said, I thought,

244
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: all things considered, the defense played a pretty good game.

245
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: Like I wasn't wowed by anything the Cardinals did on offense.

246
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe maybe that's not fair. I don't know, maybe

247
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm too close to it. But most of what they

248
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: did on offense after that first drive, to me, felt

249
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: like Kyler being Kyler, like he's he's gonna get away

250
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 1: from you, he's going to extend plays. But I mean,

251
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: I'll take twenty five points from that offense at home

252
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: and think like, well, yeah, like, if if that's all

253
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: they did, then you should win that game. The offense

254
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: should be better than that. This is really no different

255
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: than what we've seen. It's just that they didn't get

256
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: any turnovers, at least not ones that were called. I mean,

257
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: we'll get to that, but but you know, I mean,

258
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: like that's their offense hasn't been great against New Orleans

259
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: and Washington both times. The second Washington game that the

260
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: offense was rolling, but the Giants game, but they offset

261
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: that with turnovers short fields and they didn't really give

262
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: give them that. So I think that was kind of

263
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: the difference. And I think it's safe to say that,

264
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you have to the good quarterbacks. There's enough

265
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: sample size now they have not played as well against

266
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: the good quarterbacks, and those are the ones that are

267
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: going to be in the playoffs. Yeah. I mean, but

268
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, how many would your list of

269
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: like good quarterbacks that they've well, I mean this year

270
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: they faced four Pro Bowlers. I mean that's four out

271
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: of six. I mean, they haven't faced Rogers, and they

272
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: haven't faced uh maybe it was Lamar Jackson, I think,

273
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: but they faced Herbert mahomes Um and homeless Andy Brady

274
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: and Andy Kyler, you know, And I just think that's

275
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: a difference than Glennon and Hind the Key and Taysom

276
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: Hill and all that. I mean, they beat uh, you know,

277
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: the Chargers, but it was it took a walk off,

278
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: you know, So I don't know. I mean, but but

279
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: those guys aren't running. I mean, but Kyler presents differ

280
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: much different types of problems any of those other quarterbacks

281
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,119
Speaker 1: you just mentioned. I was just a different type of offense. Brady.

282
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: I mean, Brady played outstanding against them. I mean they

283
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: got what three three picks off of him. But even still,

284
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: but like again, this performance I think is good enough

285
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: to win. Like, what are the odds that you're just

286
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: going to flummix Kyler Murray into this terrible game. It

287
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: can happen, but he's a really good player. Nineteen points

288
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: from Pat Mahomes. You take that every time, right, I

289
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: think so? Yeah, so, especially at their place, right yeah, yeah,

290
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: so yes. I mean the defense dropped off from what

291
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: we've seen, but of course it was going to They

292
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: were playing garbage teams. Mike Glennon, Taylor, Hanne, Heinekey, Taysom Hill,

293
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: come on. But you know, no, it wasn't as pretty

294
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: as it has been. But like these are, that's a

295
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: winning performance in my opinion, from this defense. Here's the

296
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: issue for the Cowboys right now. In my opinion to

297
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: that point is I think they have a really good defense.

298
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: If you have an offense that's performing like this offense

299
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: right now, you need a great defense to be successful

300
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. They don't have great defense. They got

301
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: a pretty good defense. They got a really good defense.

302
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: It's not great like you gotta have an all world

303
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: kind of defense if your offense is this, if they

304
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: sputter as much as this, if they're playing well while

305
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: they're playing good teams, and I think that's going to

306
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: be their problem as a team. I don't think it's

307
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: a fault of the defense. I just think that the

308
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: offense isn't good enough to pull its weight right now. Yeah,

309
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: I agree. I mean, which the narrative coming the narrative

310
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: over the last month is that they were the best

311
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: defense in the league. So that's an awfully quick about

312
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: face to go from like, well they're not great, by

313
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: the way, by the way, they can be the best

314
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: defense in the league. I don't know that there's any

315
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: defense this year. As you look like at across the

316
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: league and you're like, they're a shutdown defense. There is

317
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: no shutdown defense in the league this year. There have

318
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: been some in historically in the NFL, they just don't

319
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: have any in the NFL right now. Going back to

320
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: they're much better than we thought they would be, but

321
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: to unlock their terrifying potential, they need their offense to

322
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: be doing more to dictate the game. And that's one

323
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: of my biggest impressions from this Particularly in the first half,

324
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: I felt like we didn't even see the offense. I

325
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: know that's not true, but the Cardinals were just on

326
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: the field consistently just dictating this game. And I'm sure

327
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: that was part of their game plan, is like shrink

328
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: the game, don't give Dak and them a chance to

329
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: go off eight minute drive. At one point, and end

330
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: up with a touchdown on that drive. And if the

331
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys offense isn't doing more to dictate the game, then

332
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: I think it's going to hamstring the defense. Which again,

333
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: oh sorry, but they're probably going to see these guys again,

334
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: or if they don't, it will be a team of

335
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: similar calibers. So, like I said, I don't blame you

336
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: if you're a little bit deflated today. All right, we're

337
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: gonna take our first break. When we come back, we're

338
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: gonna talk more about this running game. Cowboys had all

339
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: their pieces yesterday on the offensive line, so that was

340
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: not an excuse that they didn't have the right guys.

341
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: Question is are those guys enough? We'll talk about that

342
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: when we come right back. This is Dallas Cowboys dot

00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: It is the second segment of The Break Life from

385
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 1: the s WBC Mortgage Studios. At the start, we're talking

386
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: about the Cowboys loss to the Arizona Cardinals twenty five

387
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: twenty two. Cowboys now sit in the fourth seed in

388
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: the playoffs at this point, probably pretty likely that's where

389
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: they're going to be heading into the playoffs. There are

390
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: some scenarios that they could possibly move back up, but

391
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: we'll see how that all plays out. Let's dive into

392
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: this game though a little bit more. Let's talk about

393
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,479
Speaker 1: the running game. We've already mentioned how bad it was yesterday.

394
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: Zeke was nine carries for sixteen yards, Tony Pollard three

395
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 1: carries for nine yards. Dak actually led the team four

396
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: carry I mean five carries for twenty yards. Now, they

397
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: did have their entire offensive lineback Tyren Smith played yesterday.

398
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: At one point, every player on the offensive line is

399
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: except for Zach Martin had a penalty, and overall, obviously

400
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: the running game was not working. What was the problem

401
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: and was the pro centered around the offensive line? I

402
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: think that's that's the disheartening thing, is I mean, what

403
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: is the answer there? Zeke is probably not going to

404
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: be one hundred percent the rest of this season, but

405
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: he's been trending in the right direction. We've seen that

406
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: this is a good Arizona defense, but not like the

407
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 1: most dominant unit in the league, and the offensive line

408
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 1: was all back so and we also know you can

409
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: tell by the looks like I mean, Arizona is not

410
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: just like clogging the box and just making life miserable

411
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: on the running game. They kept too safeties high quiet

412
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: a bit yesterday, as has everybody else that's played the

413
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 1: Cowboys since the bye week. I don't have a good

414
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: answer for it. And again it's part of what gives

415
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 1: you this disconcerting feeling of like, man, if you can't

416
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 1: get this thing going now, are you gonna be able

417
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: to get it going against anybody? When it matters to

418
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: be blunt? I don't have a great answer. I don't either.

419
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, And honestly, when I asked this question, that's

420
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: that's one of the problems here. I asked this question

421
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: knowing that none of us obviously know the answer to this,

422
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 1: because if anybody knew the answer to they'd fix it.

423
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: But there and by the way, they may know that

424
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: there's an answer, they just may not be able to

425
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: give that answer. Right. They may look at and say, yeah,

426
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: we're not getting the production we need from our offensive line,

427
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: but we ain't we can't change out this offensive line.

428
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: So we are we are where we are right can

429
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,959
Speaker 1: can you can? I mean, what can you do right? Can?

430
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: Is there anything you do right now that could change this?

431
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: If the offensive line is the problem with the running game,

432
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: I mean, if they if they are, you know, viewing

433
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: that Terrence Steel is better than one of the other

434
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: two tackles, then I mean that's one thing. I don't

435
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: know that he's been good and the other guys have

436
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: been okay, But I think a lot of that's going

437
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: off of the expectations that we're in. I mean, I'm

438
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: looking at some of these penalties and it felt like

439
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: there are a lot of penalties that wiped out some

440
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: good runs or down getting penalized quite a bit, but

441
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 1: I can't find a whole lot of them. There seven

442
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: penalties on third down yesterday between the offense and the defense,

443
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 1: and those are killing And there were there were three

444
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: at least on the offense, and one of them wiped

445
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 1: out a fifteen yard run. And that's I figured we

446
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: would get into that at some point. I mean, to

447
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: a man, I just I assume some envelopes are headed

448
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: their way to the Star this week, just based I

449
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: mean to a man that's as unshy as I've ever

450
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: seen a team about being unhappy with the officiating. Explains ahead, fine,

451
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: I would you get fined for criticizing the officiating publicly

452
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: typically in this league, and maybe maybe about that you

453
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: didn't know, Oh yeah, I didn't know. Yeah. And by

454
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: the way, it goes all the way up to ownership.

455
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: It goes all way up to ownership. If Jerry were

456
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: to get on the radio and criticize officials, the commissioner

457
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: could find Jerry for for that. He said, well, I know,

458
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: but he walked you notice he walked it back quickly

459
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: like that is something think that's been around for a

460
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: while where the commissioner can levy finds against anybody who

461
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: is on the football side of the building that has

462
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 1: something to say publicly about officiating. Maybe you literally can

463
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: do anything about it, so you just have to suck

464
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: it up, play it, hopeing goes your way. Evengue not

465
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: to be not to be like rude, but why do

466
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: you think these guys are always so pissed off about it?

467
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: Is like it sucks all the time and they can't

468
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,239
Speaker 1: say anything about it or they get hit. Let's make

469
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: one correction there is something that can be done about it.

470
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: It can't be done over there, That's what I'm saying,

471
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: has to be done upstairs. That means when Stephen Jones

472
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: is talking in owners meetings, in the Competition Committee, and

473
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: when Jerry Jones is talking at league meetings like they

474
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: have to be the ones to say to the league, hey,

475
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: we need to find a better solution. Which I think

476
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 1: the solution is right there for you. College football already

477
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: does it and does it quite which, Okay, let's let's

478
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: separate these two things. We can talk about the fumble,

479
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: and that is that's an injustice that sucks. That's the

480
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: only one I care about, to be honest. Well, but

481
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: I mean, but again, the a lot of these guys

482
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: were whining about the flags basically, and I yeah, the

483
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: ref sucked and they took some of the fun out

484
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 1: of the game, But it was happening on both sides.

485
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 1: I mean, it was like a fourteen to ten split

486
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 1: or something like that. In terms of flags. The Cowboys

487
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: had a touchdown drive that was very much helped by

488
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: the officials throwing flags. It was it was ten to seven.

489
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 1: It was a ten to seven split. They did also

490
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: know this though, going on and then they know that

491
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: that aggravated me in the post game is like Mike

492
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: McCarthy was probably the most diplomatic person of all saying, like,

493
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 1: we knew this was a flag happy crew. We knew

494
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: we needed to work our way around it, and they

495
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: weren't able to do it. And so yeah, I mean

496
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 1: it was frustrating how many big plays got called back

497
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 1: by flags. But adjust to the situation that you know

498
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: you're going to be in, and it just doesn't seem

499
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: like they did. That's very hard to adjust, though. I

500
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: don't think the middle of the game. I don't think so.

501
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: I think it's one of those things. If, by the way,

502
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: if Mike McCarthy, if he was telling us the truth

503
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: yesterday when he said we knew this coming in, we

504
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: practiced with that in mind, then you should know going

505
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: into the game, I have to be really really smart

506
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: technically on how I do things. If I'm blocking, I

507
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: know I cannot let my hands get outside because the

508
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: moment I let my hands get outside, that ref's gonna

509
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: throw a flag for holding. Like I know, I have

510
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: to be more technically sound in that kind of game.

511
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: So yes, I think there are things you can do

512
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: when you know you're facing, as they were called yesterday,

513
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: you're facing that second team, the officials who are going

514
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 1: to be throwing all these flags. There are things you

515
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: can do to minimize that. Now you can't take it

516
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: all away, but you can minimize that if you're a

517
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: little smarter and more technically sound. I'm gonna give them

518
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: the benefit. I know, like you're and that's it's almost

519
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: I mean, they make a lot of money, but like

520
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: it's almost unfair that we put all these microphones in

521
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: their faces within fifteen minutes of these devastated Yeah. No,

522
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: And I think that they were just venting frustrations. But

523
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: I was just like, come on, guys, this the flags

524
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: are not why you lost the fumble. I get it.

525
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: I very much get the fumble, the flags especially, And

526
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 1: I think a couple guys were like, we've been dealing

527
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: with this all year, and I'm like, I am a

528
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: stubborn person. It is a character flaw of mine. Like

529
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: I would rather go down with the ship doing it

530
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: my way than adjust and I know that that's not

531
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: the way to be. And so for them to be

532
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: like this has been happening all year, it's like, well,

533
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: it's week seventeen, maybe you should adjust to that by now.

534
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: It's just it's kind of frustrating. Since we're on topic

535
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: real quick, I do have this question. I know that

536
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: a lot of people tend to say, oh, well, it's

537
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: because it's the Cowboys and stuff, and even Dak Preston

538
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: he mentioned, Okay, I know what it means. We're in

539
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 1: the start, so and I don't watch enough of other

540
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: teams games to get a full grasp of the thirty

541
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: two teams. You know of how it happens in games,

542
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 1: But I mean, is this really like it really there's

543
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: a higher percentage against the Cowboys when it comes to that,

544
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: or are there other teams that it's just kind of,

545
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: you know, depending on the officiating. That's just kind of

546
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: how they officiate in general. I don't know the percentage.

547
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess the Saints have something to say about that,

548
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: because for what was it, two or three years in

549
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: a row, they got booted out of the playoffs because

550
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: of just horrible calls or missed calls. So I think

551
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 1: a lot of teams and a lot of fan bases

552
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: are like, man, we got screwed by the refs. I

553
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: get it, and by the way, a lot of times

554
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 1: they're probably accurate, but that's the nature of the sport,

555
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: Like that's a part of the sport, as much as

556
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: we all hate it. Until they get to a point

557
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: where they just say, we're gonna let you know, we're

558
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 1: gonna let it all be officiated upstairs and the person

559
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: that's gonna be officiating is seeing the exact same thing

560
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: that we're all seeing on camera, then we're gonna have

561
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 1: this because those are flawed humans who are making those calls.

562
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: But I don't think it's any more for Cowboys anybody else.

563
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: You got to see any difference there, No, I mean,

564
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 1: I just think the NFL's officials are below par, and

565
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: especially have been this year. I mean, and I think

566
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 1: you look anywhere in the league landscaped. It's been a

567
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: talking point all year. They're just they're not good. But no,

568
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: I think if you broke it down down, it would

569
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: average out. I mean, the Cowboys do bring a level

570
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: of scrutiny that a lot of other teams don't have

571
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: to deal with, but I don't think you would see

572
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 1: it bear out in the terms of like the way

573
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: games are officiated. They lead the league in interceptions right,

574
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 1: and they're up there in sacks, they're in aggressive defense,

575
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: and they're going to get penalties. I mean, that's going

576
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 1: to happen. The issues that I have is that I

577
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: don't I don't think McCarthy should be telling them about

578
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: the officials before the game. I think that's the problem

579
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: right there. I mean you're saying, hey, this crew does this,

580
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: and they do that. They did that for the Raiders

581
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: and it was even worse. I mean, like, I don't

582
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: understand what what are you doing? You use your technique anyways,

583
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: use your technique, right, I mean that should be every crew,

584
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: every game. And I think you're putting it. You're planning

585
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: the seed already. I don't know what was said. I

586
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: just feel like i've I've heard coaches say I don't

587
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: coach penalties. Sounds like McCarthy's trying to coach penalties and

588
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,959
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem to work. That's an interesting thought. I mean,

589
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: I like, I like your thought process, but I also

590
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: that kind of goes back to the old Like Jason Garrett,

591
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: we do what we do, Like I kind of like

592
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: the idea of preparing your team for the situation that

593
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: you're going to be in, Like Hey, these guys call

594
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: this a lot. Maybe keep an eye out for that.

595
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: But you're not wrong that if you put that in

596
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: a guy's head, maybe that's like a self fulfilling prophecy.

597
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer. Maybe the thing is it's

598
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: about how you do it right. It's almost if you

599
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: if you pound into your team's head, this referee crew

600
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: will likes to throw a lot of flags. I think

601
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: you also have to pound into their heads. That's not

602
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: an excuse. Yeah, right, Because I felt like, and this

603
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: kind of bugged me about after the game, all the

604
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: guys talking about the rest. It to me rang of

605
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,479
Speaker 1: we're fine, the rests are the problem, right, and quite frankly,

606
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: they're not fine. Like they are not fine. There was

607
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: a lot that they could have done yesterday. It was

608
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: ironic to me, the youngest player on this defense, I

609
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 1: think he's the youngest. Michael Parsons had the best dancing

610
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: when it came to reff yesterday. What he said was, yeah,

611
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: we should have never left it in their hands. Yeah,

612
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: that's your answer, Like, it doesn't matter if you know

613
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: the refs are are gonna throw the flags a lot, right,

614
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: If you know that going in the game, and then

615
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: they do exactly what you expected them to do. It

616
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: had an excuse. You should have known that, right. Dak

617
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: said something similar, but only after he kind of said

618
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: some vaguely implied. He pulled a Nick Eatman. He kind

619
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: of implied something, and then he pulled it back and

620
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: was like, well, we can't put it in their control.

621
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: But again, I'm gonna give them some benefit of the

622
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: doubt and say, when you're pissed off in the moment,

623
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: you're I mean, that's that's human nature. But I get it.

624
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to hear that as a

625
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: valid excuse for why they lost this game. Two things

626
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: that I did have a problem with. It wouldn't just

627
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: the penalties, but I mean, they're taught, especially late in

628
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: the game. You know, call it as a fumble. You

629
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: don't have to emphatically say he was down down, down down,

630
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: because that's the call on the field, and if you're wrong,

631
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: it does and get challenge, we'll get reviewed. Yeah. But

632
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: the thing that that's really bothering me, and I know

633
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: bothers you too, it's just that they've made these rules

634
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: on the fly. There. They've changed this in the middle

635
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: of the season. Where New York is now a big

636
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: part of things, and all of a sudden it's like,

637
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: after further discussion it was ruled. Is this it's like

638
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: discussion with who somebody got in your ear from New York. Cool,

639
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: if we're playing that game, that's better for everyone. But

640
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: do it consistently right. Where was the guy in New

641
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: York saying that, you know what, it was a fumble? Yeah, somebody,

642
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: somebody should have been having that conversation saying, hey, guys,

643
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: I think we need to look at this. This looks

644
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: like a fumble and if you're gonna do it in

645
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: some and by the way, I've seen it in other games,

646
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: not just the Cowboys games. I've seen in other games

647
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: this year where they have made a call on the

648
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: field and then they reversed it themselves. They just did.

649
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: There was no challenge or anything. They just said, hey,

650
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: after further discussion, we just did this as the right answer.

651
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: They did it to Jern Curson Kean O'Neil in New

652
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: Yorleans one of the like coolest plays of the season.

653
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: Curse punches it out Neil, you know, the acrobatic dives

654
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: to the sideline, throws it back in and the Cowboys

655
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: get it, and some somehow the refs were like, oh,

656
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: we've we've talked about it and that's not right. And

657
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: everybody was like, Okay, cool, I guess I guess the

658
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: league can just buzz in in certain circumstances and they

659
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: want to or Kansas City where they call a face

660
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: mask and the guy basically was he for the Chiefs,

661
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: was just spraying the whole bench there with a gun.

662
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: Yeah he pulled out. They actually don't, but you do

663
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: remember they were they were they almost getting into a fight.

664
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: And then he was like because it was a face

665
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: mask on gun gun sign likeline like I'm shooting you

666
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: all and so yeah, for some reason that doesn't ring

667
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: a bell with me. I'm sorry, but I was losing

668
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: his mind, like why is he getting to shoot everybody?

669
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: Like okay, like did you get to shoot everybody? It

670
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: has that has happen. I mean the last boy scout

671
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: remember last week with Zeke Remember the one yard he

672
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: got He got spotted on the one yard line for

673
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: his touchdown run. Oh yeah, and and they said one

674
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: yard line next you know, it's like and McCarthy ran

675
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 1: down there with a challenge flag before he threw the

676
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 1: guy's like, oh no, we you know someone, Yeah it's

677
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Yeah, And that's the thing, like if you

678
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: can do it, and I actually prefer that, but you

679
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: can't just pick and choose when you're gonna do it.

680
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: You gotta do it all the time. And if they're

681
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: gonna tell me, and maybe they will, maybe they'll say, yeah,

682
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: we had a guy up stairs, he looked at that.

683
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: He didn't think it was a fumble. Okay, then you

684
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: can't say anything at that point. Then it's a situation

685
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: where well, maybe you had another time you could challenge it.

686
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: But but I just it feels to me like this

687
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: is pick and choose. This is not a consistent way

688
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: of officiating games. It's if you know me at all,

689
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: It's probably my biggest gripe with the NFL is that

690
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: like these game swinging moments are left up to like

691
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: coaching strategy. So Mike McCarthy's not prepared for the extra point.

692
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: That's bad on him, But so it's his fault that

693
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: they got this wrong and he loses the game because

694
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: of it because he had a mental brain fart like

695
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: two hours ago. Yeah, that's absolutely absurd. Getting it right

696
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: is never getting it right should never be a matter

697
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: of strata. How does college football have this so right?

698
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: Like they just have two guys that sit up there

699
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: and watch everything that's remotely close. And if you ever

700
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: watch a college football game, anytime there's a remotely controversial play,

701
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,240
Speaker 1: you hear the announcers like, I don't know, we'll probably

702
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,280
Speaker 1: get a look at this, And sure enough, ninety percent

703
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: of the time, before the team can get the next

704
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: snap off, the refs wave it off and they're like,

705
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: we got our people looking at this. We want to

706
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: make sure we get it right. And my hottest take

707
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: of all is that the NFL doesn't care because they

708
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: don't want that, because they want these games ending in

709
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: their appointed times. And you want to know the funny

710
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: thing about that, I don't think a single fan would

711
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: be mad if you add fifteen minutes to a game

712
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: but their team felt like they didn't get screwed. Yeah,

713
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: and fun of them are going to be upset if

714
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: they if their team got they dvard for three hours

715
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: and don't do the thing you need to set the X.

716
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 1: If you don't all right, that's you do? You remember

717
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: the times when the Cowboys blocked the field goal? Um

718
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: they've blocked the like, especially these short field goals. You

719
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: remember that. No, yeah, no me either. So here's the

720
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: problem that I have. And it was a field goal.

721
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: Wasn't an extra point? Sorry, I thought it came after

722
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 1: the touchdown. It was Curs dropped the ball in the

723
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: end zone. That's right. So it's nineteen nineteen to seven

724
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 1: and it's fourth and five, So they just decided to

725
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 1: keep the offense out when the Cowboys just to shift

726
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: and move back in the old craft and then they

727
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: come back and then they call it time out. My

728
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: thought is, why don't you just play defense? Stay you're

729
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: not going to block the field goal anyways, most of

730
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: the guys are probably out there anyways. You just say

731
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play defense, and then when Murray leaves and

732
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: the prater comes on, they allow you the time to

733
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 1: switch that. But force comes to worst. Just put the

734
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: defense out there. You're not blocking it, you're not gonna rush.

735
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: Just play defense, and if they want to kick it,

736
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,399
Speaker 1: they kick it. Yeah, because that's fine, which I mean, yeah,

737
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: that was that was a dumb sequence. It was. It

738
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: was poor coaching. But again, the fact like it's like, oh,

739
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: you screwed that up. An hour and a half ago

740
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: and you're out of time out. It's because of it,

741
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 1: and now you don't get to challenge that. Like I

742
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: hate that. I've always hate did that. I would hate

743
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: it if it benefited the Cowboys. It's not fair. And

744
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 1: the crazy part about is this where the rules are

745
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 1: just really stupid. If that play would happen ten seconds later,

746
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: they would have reviewed it upstairs because you're within two minutes. Like,

747
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 1: it's just it's so arbitrary. Everything is so arbitrary rather

748
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: than just doing the right to go back to my

749
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: sorry Nick, but they have all these rules that keep

750
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: the clock running in pro football, and that is the

751
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: primary Like people people who aren't in my like if

752
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: you're a real college football fan, I've never heard a

753
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 1: diehard college football fan whine about the length of these games,

754
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: you know, like it's always just can never be too sure,

755
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,760
Speaker 1: I mean too long. Yeah, But anyway, it's the stop.

756
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: It's the clock always stopping in college that extends these

757
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: games into five hours. It's not the review. They do

758
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 1: that stuff pretty quick, so you can't tell me that's why.

759
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 1: I just it drives me bonkers. It's just it's in

760
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: today's world where everybody's watching these games on television, and

761
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: by the way, you got twenty cameras at every game

762
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: or more, and you literally get to see everything in

763
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: slow Why don't you give your officiating crews the same

764
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: benefit to be able to see what everybody else is seeing,

765
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 1: to be able to reverse a call based on that.

766
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 1: That's my problem with the whole thing. It's like nobody

767
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: has taken a step back and said, let's really think

768
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: about officiating from a big picture scale. How do we

769
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: do this the most efficient way. There's a way to

770
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 1: do it. It's very easy to do and for whatever reason,

771
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 1: the NFL is just not willing to do it. We

772
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: always say, like every week we talk about how we're

773
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 1: we are at a disadvantage from the viewers at home

774
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: in terms of what we can see because we're looking

775
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: up at the monitors and the press party. We'll only

776
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 1: show us so much, right, and so if you're at

777
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 1: a talk guy that does the big screen at the stadium,

778
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: who does a wonderful but we're at a disadvantage from

779
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: you at home, who's got all of these angles coming.

780
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: And it's the same thing for the refs, and the

781
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: league just doesn't care. Yeah, all right, we're gonna take

782
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: our final break. When we come back, let's talk about

783
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: this defense. We spend enough time on offense and penalties.

784
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: Let's get to the defense and what's what's going on

785
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,399
Speaker 1: with them? How do they play yesterday? We'll talk about

786
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:58,880

Speaker 1: the Star, Let's talk defense and then let's get a

832
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: little special teams talk in here. The defense. Yesterday, they

833
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: gave up a few big plays. They didn't get turnovers.

834
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 1: The turnovers probably is the part that's most uncharacteristic for them,

835
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: at least recently. That being said, how did you overall

836
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,959
Speaker 1: assess their play? Nick? I think you know, we said

837
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: earlier they they have been thriving off turnovers and sacks,

838
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 1: and you know, Murray was just a step ahead. I

839
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: thought he did a nice job of getting the ball

840
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: to his running backs and just you know, he's he's

841
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: just a problem for them. You know, he's more of

842
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: a problem for them than than other teams I think.

843
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: I mean, he's had a Pro Bowl year, but he

844
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: seems like he's more of a problem for the Cowboys.

845
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: I don't buy the whole eighteenth he stadium thing. I

846
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: think that's crap. But I think he's just really good

847
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: at you know, especially with an aggressive defense like the

848
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 1: Cowboys play. The disconcerting thing for me was probably he

849
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: had a few plays where he got away with his

850
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: speed and you know, he won the game because he

851
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: got away from Randy Gregory, but he had a clean

852
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 1: pocket a lot of the time. Rodney Hudson's a really

853
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 1: good player at center for Arizona, and I you know,

854
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: the a gap blitzes and stunts that Mike has been

855
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 1: so successful at, they weren't there as effectively as they

856
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 1: were yesterday. I think he was probably a big part

857
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: of it. When I watched the game back, the pressure

858
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: just wasn't as intense as I thought it would be.

859
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: And that's probably why this was probably as rough of

860
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 1: a game as the cornerbacks have played period. Treyvon did

861
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:55,799
Speaker 1: stutter go. We've defended him all year. Anthony Brown got

862
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: hit a couple of times in this game. That is

863
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: fair for his detractors to point out Jordan Lewis as well.

864
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 1: I think he had more time to throw than they

865
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,359
Speaker 1: could afford, basically, and that's when they gave up those

866
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: those places. Do you think part of the reason why

867
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: maybe there wasn't as much pressure as because the Cowboys

868
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: defense was trying to be very disciplined in their rush

869
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 1: to not a lot because in the first half, Kyler

870
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 1: didn't really kill him on the ground. He wasn't really

871
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: running a lot. And I think part of that was

872
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: if you noticed they had Mica at linebacker and he

873
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: was basically lining up right across from Murray a lot

874
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 1: of the time, and that told me he was spying.

875
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 1: He was making sure that he wasn't taken off and

876
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 1: if he was, he was going in some of the

877
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,839
Speaker 1: runs he had in the second half, they actually had

878
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: Michael on the line rushing and there goes Kyler running

879
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 1: right out of the pocket. So do you think that

880
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: was at least part of the reason why maybe there

881
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 1: was a less of a pass rush yesterday? Totally plausible.

882
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 1: I'd have to. I mean, I would like to watch

883
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,320
Speaker 1: it again. But he just he had he had a

884
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: clean pocket pretty frequently. It felt like, and maybe that's

885
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: by design again, because if you rush and don't get

886
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 1: there then we talked about that last week. You don't live.

887
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: Thing you want to do is open up a half

888
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: of the field because you were too aggressive. So, um,

889
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,320
Speaker 1: the deep ball to Diggs, you know that that was

890
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: I remember they blitzed. Uh. I don't know. I would

891
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: have say, like seven guys. None of them broke through.

892
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 1: And that's when you're like, oh crap, Like, oh, it

893
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: doesn't matter who the corner is, you know, So as

894
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:22,839
Speaker 1: soon as you see that, you're like. Somebody on Twitter

895
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 1: was like, why did Dave say that AJ Green wasn't

896
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 1: worth the crap anymore? And I was like, I don't

897
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: think Dave said that. I think it was Bucky that

898
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,439
Speaker 1: he's not I said, I said, I did not think

899
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:35,839
Speaker 1: Bucky did say that. I did say I didn't think

900
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 1: they had a guy on the outside that could consistently

901
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: beat them. They got him on the stutter go like

902
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,320
Speaker 1: they watched the tape. Good for them, It's it was

903
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,839
Speaker 1: such ironic timing. Because the dialogue on Twitter last week

904
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: was ferocious about whether or not Diggs is too aggressive

905
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:52,479
Speaker 1: and whether or not he gives up all these yards

906
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: and whatnot. They caught him. Um again, I'll say it

907
00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: one more time. I'll take that performance every time. I mean,

908
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: it would be nice to get the takeaway whatever. But

909
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:07,360
Speaker 1: and again we've seen this all year, Like they improved

910
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: as the game went on. Like seventy eight yard Fueld

911
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 1: goal drive, ninety one yard touchdown drive, forty yard Fueld

912
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: goal drive. That's all in the first half. They go

913
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 1: touchdown at the start of that game, and then for

914
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 1: the rest of the second half they bottled them up.

915
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 1: Maybe Arizona's playing more conservative with the lead, but the

916
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 1: defense was fantastic at getting the ball back in the

917
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:29,280
Speaker 1: second half. They I think they did their part. Twenty

918
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: five points from Kyler Murray's offense should be enough to

919
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 1: win you a game when you have all that talent

920
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: on offense. That's it's as simple as that for me,

921
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: Like you're not going to you're not gonna shut everybody down,

922
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: like you're gonna give up a chunk play to aj Green.

923
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 1: It's just are you going to surrender them? Consistently or

924
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: are you going to find a way to battle back?

925
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: And I thought that they did. Camber thoughts not a defense.

926
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 1: I have different thoughts flowing through my mind. One, I

927
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 1: think that they played well, it wasn't to the level

928
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 1: because of what Nig mentioned, you know, getting takeaways. What

929
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,359
Speaker 1: you can't just expect them to get one or two

930
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: takeaways every single game week after week. I mean, that

931
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:08,919
Speaker 1: was amazing what they've been doing. But I guess what's

932
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 1: like flowing in my mind right now, it's how a

933
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 1: few weeks ago, you know, everyone's saying how great this

934
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: defense was is whatever, and then saying how and we

935
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: talked about it on here, how defenses can win championships

936
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 1: and win you games like that? So now I am

937
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: I okay, So what are we saying now? Then? Like

938
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: where are the Cowboys standing right now? With this kind

939
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 1: of defense? Then it's not enough to win you those

940
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 1: playoff games that you need to win. So I'm just

941
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 1: very confused. Guys, we're trying to convince me of something else.

942
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: A few weeks ago, and it was all alive. Exceptional

943
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: defense wins championships. That's the point. Like, if you think

944
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 1: about the defenses in the history of the NFL that

945
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,720
Speaker 1: have won championships because they didn't have a great offense.

946
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,439
Speaker 1: Those defenses are like all world defenses, Like we're talking

947
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 1: about the Baltimore Ravens from two thousand and we're talking

948
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 1: about eighty five Beers, Like this defense ain't that. Let's

949
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:10,839
Speaker 1: let's not confuse them with that. Those when you say

950
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 1: defenseman's championships, those kind of defenses do in today's NFL.

951
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 1: If you've got a good defense, like the Cowboys do,

952
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 1: you gotta have some offense offset that. And they don't.

953
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:21,240
Speaker 1: Right now, I don't have offense. What were they missing

954
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball to become those

955
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: kind of defense? Those kind of defenses had shut down

956
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:30,400
Speaker 1: players at every level like they had. They had pass rushers,

957
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 1: you could run against them, you couldn't throw against them

958
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 1: like those were just and by the way, that Tampa

959
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,320
Speaker 1: Bay defense from two thousand and two, I want to

960
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,839
Speaker 1: say it was that defense, like they took the ball

961
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 1: away at a crazy pace. I want to say that year,

962
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: and I might be wrong on this. I want to

963
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 1: say they out and there were some games, like in

964
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,840
Speaker 1: the playoffs or something like that, where they outscored the offense.

965
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:53,439
Speaker 1: It was crazy how good that defense was. But that's

966
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 1: not the Cowboys right now. The Cowboys are a really

967
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 1: good defense. They're not They're not all world like historic defense.

968
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:01,839
Speaker 1: They're just a really good defense. And by the way,

969
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 1: a lot of that is because we are we are

970
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,839
Speaker 1: basing that off a curve of what they were last year,

971
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: and we're saying, my gosh, there's so much better they

972
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,359
Speaker 1: breaks and things like that. So I don't I don't

973
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 1: get what we're doing here, to be honest with you, Like,

974
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 1: I like the defense looked a lot like what they

975
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 1: have been, Like they played a much better team, and

976
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 1: like I thought they were going to win this game.

977
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 1: So I'm not trying to sit here and say I

978
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 1: told you so. I'm surprised that they played as poorly

979
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 1: as they did, not necessarily the defense, just the team.

980
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: But I said this after the Giants game, I was like,

981
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:36,360
Speaker 1: this is all well and good, but it won't be

982
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 1: Mike Glennon forever. And that's that's what happened. Like they

983
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 1: played a better team. I thought they were solid defensively

984
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 1: but not amazing. Right, if they get even a slightly

985
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 1: better day from their offense, they win this game. That

986
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 1: is the story. I'm not upset, disappointed, or disillusioned with

987
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 1: anything that the defense did. The offense didn't pull and

988
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 1: I agree one percent my point where I was getting

989
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 1: that his side. With the defense that you have, I

990
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:03,800
Speaker 1: guess is definitely not gonna be enough for you unless

991
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,799
Speaker 1: the offense is doing something as well, more more likely

992
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 1: than not. By the way, it's not that this offense

993
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 1: has to be the best offense in the league. The

994
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: offense has to just get back to a point where

995
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 1: it's playing pretty good. Like right now, they're just getting

996
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: off the slow starts. They got way too many pable

997
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:21,399
Speaker 1: I mean, way too many possessions where it's either three

998
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 1: and out or they just self destruct. Like, the offense

999
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 1: has to pull its weight, and this defense is more

1000
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 1: than capable, as Dave was saying in this game, this

1001
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 1: defense is more more than capable of winning this game

1002
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: for them. The offense has to pull their weight, and

1003
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 1: they're just not doing it right now. Seven points in

1004
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 1: the first half isn't good enough from this offense, Which

1005
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:40,920
Speaker 1: is a great segue. We got to talk about the

1006
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 1: kicker before this is over, right, right, I mean, yeah,

1007
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: let's go, what do we do? I mean what do

1008
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: they do like he has been. He has been probably

1009
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: one of the most inconsistent players on this team this

1010
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 1: year when you look at his overall production all year.

1011
00:48:57,520 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 1: There's some games he plays really well. He's made some

1012
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: big kicks for them. He's also missed some kicks where

1013
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 1: you just like scratching your head, like, how do you

1014
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,280
Speaker 1: miss that? What do you do with the kicker position?

1015
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's I said, oh sorry, I don't

1016
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 1: do a damn thing. I don't do a damn thing.

1017
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: I just tell him do what you've done, keep kicking

1018
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 1: the ball. And why is that? Because I don't think

1019
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:23,399
Speaker 1: there's any options out there. I just don't. Anybody that's

1020
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 1: out there has been cut, has been a radic, has

1021
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 1: been to the point where they said, you're not good enough.

1022
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 1: This guy's won an NFC Championship game with a fifty

1023
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: six yard or he's made kicks this year. Uh yeah,

1024
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: he missed. He pulled a forty three, he missed a

1025
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 1: couple of extra points in the meadowlands. It's happening. But

1026
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 1: I think for the most part, I don't see anyone

1027
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 1: that's that's better. And I don't who's out there that

1028
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 1: you can get if I hear if I could hear

1029
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 1: a name, Oh, this guy's out there because he was

1030
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 1: hurt and the other kicker is good, but he's really good.

1031
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:56,440
Speaker 1: Well now I'll listen to it. But I just I

1032
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 1: don't know, I mean, and I don't think he's been

1033
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 1: that inconsistent, I really, but I will answer some people

1034
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 1: the name. I think a lot of people would bring

1035
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 1: up his Kai for Bath. The Cowboys brought him here

1036
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago in Jason Garrett's last year.

1037
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 1: He didn't miss a kick. I believe he was cut

1038
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 1: when the Cowboys signed Greg Zirline. They didn't have a competition,

1039
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 1: And I think that's my thing. Like Derek always gets

1040
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 1: mad at me because he wants me to say what

1041
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: I would do versus what I think the team's going

1042
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:28,280
Speaker 1: to do. But again, what is my opinion matter? Like, sure,

1043
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 1: if you're angry with Greg Zerline and you want to

1044
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:32,840
Speaker 1: cut him and bring Kai for Bath back, that's awesome

1045
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 1: if you make the decisions. But I think Greg Zerline

1046
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:39,359
Speaker 1: has important sponsors on this team. I think Greg greg

1047
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 1: I think Mike McCarthy and John Fossil want him here.

1048
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: They trust him. I'm not necessarily saying that I agree

1049
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 1: with that, but I think that's how they feel. I

1050
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:53,320
Speaker 1: think I would be very surprised if, this close to

1051
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 1: the postseason, which they're already assured to spot in, they

1052
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:59,239
Speaker 1: decide to just start over with a new guy, not

1053
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:02,320
Speaker 1: when Fossil has worked with Zerline for most of the

1054
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 1: last decade, and on and on and on, and who

1055
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: cares if I disagree, If that's what's going to happen,

1056
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 1: you know, But I've I said yesterday for some reason

1057
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 1: that the extra points don't bother me. They never have

1058
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 1: because I'm just like, ah, well, you know, you scored

1059
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 1: a touchdown anyway, you still got six points, and if

1060
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 1: the offense is doing their job, you'll score more points.

1061
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: But a forty three yard fuel goal in a dome

1062
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 1: should just not shouldn't be something that you feel iffy about. Um, yeah,

1063
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 1: it's it's troubling. But I don't think they're going to

1064
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 1: do anything. Yeah, I don't think there's much you can

1065
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 1: do at this point of the season. The only thing

1066
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 1: that you can do is just have your offense play better.

1067
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 1: That's it. Play better. I yes, I love that take.

1068
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 1: I love that take a lot a g because that

1069
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:51,799
Speaker 1: and that's It always bothers me when people are like, well,

1070
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 1: the kicker lost in the game. If they if they

1071
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:56,839
Speaker 1: score that fuel goal, then it's twenty five twenty five.

1072
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, you're not wrong, but you're wrong because if

1073
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:02,839
Speaker 1: the offense plays a better game than they scored more

1074
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 1: points than that, they had so many. That was their

1075
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:07,840
Speaker 1: first possession of the game. Was it not well? And

1076
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 1: so they had Sarzona is not going to go for two.

1077
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,800
Speaker 1: You know at certain times based off the score, you

1078
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 1: just can't play that game. No, But I mean, yeah,

1079
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 1: you missed the field goal in the three point game.

1080
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 1: It would have been nice to have. Obviously would have

1081
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:22,439
Speaker 1: been nice to have, but you had nine other opportunities

1082
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 1: to not well settle for punts and then things don't

1083
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:27,840
Speaker 1: get a penalty with your center, which I don't understand

1084
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 1: what the call was, but don't get that. I mean

1085
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 1: that was a third and four, it turned into a

1086
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:35,439
Speaker 1: third and nine, and then he missed the kick. Yeah. Yeah,

1087
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 1: I'm trying to look up right now as field goal percentage.

1088
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:40,359
Speaker 1: He is right now an eighty two point four field

1089
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 1: goal percentage. That's twenty fourth in the NFL. I mean,

1090
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 1: that's where I know you said you don't think he's

1091
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 1: been inconsistent. That's where I'm looking like relative to other kids.

1092
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 1: Look at tenth, Look at tenth in the league. Because

1093
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:53,839
Speaker 1: somebody just pointed this out to Elliott. What's his number?

1094
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:59,879
Speaker 1: What's the eleventh guy? The guys Harrison, Baker, Harrison, but CRuMs.

1095
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,759
Speaker 1: But what's he at eighty eight point five? I was

1096
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 1: told bad infil I'm gonna say that's good point because

1097
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 1: I know no, no, because the guy on the radio

1098
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 1: this morning, and the guy said something about if he

1099
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 1: makes one more kicks, he's he's like tied for eleventh

1100
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 1: or something like that. Oh well maybe. So, by the way,

1101
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 1: these percentage differences, like that's eighty we were talking about

1102
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:26,839
Speaker 1: eighty five percent, he's down at eighty. Yeah, what an

1103
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 1: eighty two point four percent? So it's not a big difference,

1104
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 1: but that's also part of it though you're talking about

1105
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:33,800
Speaker 1: relative to the rest of the league. He is the

1106
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:37,320
Speaker 1: twenty fourth best kicker from a field goal percentage in

1107
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 1: the NFL. Now that's that's that's kind of troubling. You

1108
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 1: know that that you need more production than that out

1109
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:45,400
Speaker 1: of your kicker. And that's why I say he's inconsistent

1110
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 1: relative to other kickers. By the way, eighty two percent.

1111
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:50,400
Speaker 1: If either of us go out there and kick at

1112
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:53,320
Speaker 1: an eighty two percent, that's great. NFL, that's obviously not

1113
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:55,399
Speaker 1: very good. You're twenty fourth in the NFL. What I'd

1114
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:57,320
Speaker 1: like to know is, is there a guy sitting on

1115
00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:00,320
Speaker 1: the street right now? It's better with a career record

1116
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 1: that's better than that and not vander Jack. That's why

1117
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,279
Speaker 1: I said, that's your That's the best point that I've heard.

1118
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 1: For everybody out there that wants a different kicker, the

1119
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:12,319
Speaker 1: question becomes, who, what do you? What are you gonna

1120
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 1: what do you What is out there that's going that

1121
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna feel better about. Whenever you decide you're gonna kick,

1122
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:18,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna say, hey, sitting this guy out there, we

1123
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 1: feel good about this extra point, Like, I don't know

1124
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 1: that that guy exists on the street right now, because

1125
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:27,720
Speaker 1: if he were that good, that reliable, he probably wouldn't

1126
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 1: be on the street. I there's no good answer to it,

1127
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:34,839
Speaker 1: But like I said, I don't I don't see them

1128
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:37,719
Speaker 1: making a change. And so I think, which to be

1129
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 1: fair to Greg like he's had, we have to be

1130
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 1: fair to Greg. I would like to try to be like,

1131
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:45,919
Speaker 1: I don't like to be the screaming hot take fire

1132
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:49,840
Speaker 1: everybody guy. Typically, when he's had a moment like this,

1133
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 1: he bounces back, so like he missed a kick on

1134
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 1: he missed a kick against Vegas on Thanksgiving, he nailed

1135
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 1: the next ten after that, Like, can we can we

1136
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:00,040
Speaker 1: sit him this next game because I don't wan and

1137
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 1: have that bounceback game next week. I wanted to have

1138
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 1: that bounceback game in the play. We can get into

1139
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:06,359
Speaker 1: him down, We can get into that because I'm sitting there.

1140
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that tomorrow. But um, I mean it

1141
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:13,720
Speaker 1: blows up to you. What Nah, don't waste this segment. Okay,

1142
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 1: all right, we'll talk about that tomorrow. When he has

1143
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 1: struggled again, he missed kicks against Tampa. He hits the

1144
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:23,960
Speaker 1: game winner against the Charters. He's Typically when this happens,

1145
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,359
Speaker 1: he comes back and hits his kicks. I'm not saying

1146
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 1: that should make you feel better, but I guess it's

1147
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:31,840
Speaker 1: worth mentioning. Yeah, all right, we appreciate you guys. Us.

1148
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:34,120
Speaker 1: We'll be back tomorrow. We're gonna start getting into U

1150
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:40,400

1151
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:42,319
Speaker 1: now been moved. It is now a Saturday night game,
