I hope you have 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:47.440 all of that black Rifle coffee sitting in front of you, 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:51.280 Cowboys Nation, because you're gonna need about three hundred million 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:59.200 bagilly grams of caffeine break because it did not look pretty, 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:02.280 especially in the third quarter for the Cowboys. There were 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:05.600 times in the first half where I said, Okay, okay, 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:09.639 there's life, there's a pulse, there's something happening here, a light, 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:15.640 if you will, maybe a light dark min Why are 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:18.480 we talking about the sun? What about the moon? I mean, 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:20.720 they've all been up there. What Sun's been there five 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:22.120 million years? But yeah, my. 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:25.239 Favorite Jason Garrett comments is like the sun's been there 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:28.920 for two billion years for two million yeah. 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:32.600 But I mean, for those that saw Micah's comments after 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:34.480 the game, it was a play on what he said, 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:35.000 be the light. 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:37.160 Defense needs to be the light. And my moon comment 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:39.320 was a play on what Jerry said. And the walk 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:42.720 problem is is that talking to astrology. 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.200 It's it's it's too dark at this point for any 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.919 light to kind of matter. So if you were on 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:50.600 the if you were on the line about if you should, 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:53.520 you know, cash in some vacation time for January, go 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:58.240 ahead and do it, because I said before this game, 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.760 I sat right here in this same seaton. I said 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:03.440 before this game, this team was on the precipice of 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:07.280 a lost season. If they lose against the Eagles, especially 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:10.240 if it's in poor fashion, then it is officially a 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:10.960 lost season. 0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:12.960 So I'm going to stand on that business. 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.440 And unfortunately, I'm going to go ahead and say this 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:17.200 is now a lost season. 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:18.840 What hope? 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:21.880 If you don't believe it's a lost season, my question 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:24.200 to you would be, what hope were you leaning on? 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:24.799 Right? 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:28.720 Because not only was the offense worse without Dak Prescott, 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:31.800 which we knew that it might be, there's ploys of 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:37.480 monumentally worse without Dak Prescott. Forty six passing yards for 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:41.680 Cooper Rush, the lowest four starting quarterback or at offense 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:44.560 for the Cowboys since two thousand and one. I believe 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:49.120 so tasting yards passing yards wise, lowest passing yards accumulated 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:53.760 in twenty three years. Okay, your defense came out, played 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:59.560 with its hair on fire. Demarv Yon overshown everywhere, your longhorn, 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:02.200 animal animal demon time. 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:02.720 Okay. 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.960 Michael Parsons came back. Looked like he didn't miss a snap, 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:09.520 hadn't placed since September. Looked like him saw them demon time. 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:12.000 Right. The defense set the tone in a way that 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:15.760 we have been wanting them to do. Huge. 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:19.120 Still the Pappy, Absolutely, he is still the Pappy five 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:20.480 the Philadelphia games. 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:23.159 Still the Pappy. Your defense gave you a chance. What 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:23.720 did you do? 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:24.200 You? 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:25.680 You blew it every single time? 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:29.480 Okay, tomayon over shown gets you that sack, thirteen yards 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:33.520 lost and Cooper rush then fumbles the snap gives them 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:35.359 the ball in the red zone. Of course they score 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.839 because they can score in the red zone. Apparently not 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:40.120 every team can, but the Philadelphia Eagles can. 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:41.520 What's that like? 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:45.400 Marius Leo file right on that Micah forced fumble, sack, 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:51.080 Mary's lefoul recovers the ball six yards first and goal 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:53.800 from the six yard line. How many yards did they 0:04:53.839 --> 0:05:00.800 get one one yard in three attention, Oh no, it 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.240 is three. And it just went from there and all 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:07.960 five turnovers, fumble at the four four Zeke's fumble in 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:08.640 the rid zone. 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:10.440 That was big. That was massive. 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:12.560 That was such a diff That was a long That 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:15.640 was the longest best drive of the game, not. 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.960 Just to that point, but of the entire of the year. 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:21.520 And that might have been my favorite drive They've had 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:24.520 all gear this favorite drive. They were running the ball, 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:26.960 they were balanced, they were working to the outside. Rico 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:30.040 Dawdle was making cuts. They were all moving and grooving 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:31.800 and just rolling down the field. And then on the 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:35.720 fifteenth player the drive number, you give it to Ezekiel 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:38.120 Elliott and he coughs it up at the goal line. 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:40.200 You know, that reminded me of you remember earlier in 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:42.600 the season when they had a fantastic drive at home 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:42.880 and it. 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:45.120 Was ceedee lamb. Yeah, same thing, the ball on the 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:47.359 ground in the red zone. I think I was like 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:49.760 played nine or ten. That was another great drive. 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:55.000 Four lost fumbles, add an interception on Trey Lance, And honestly, 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.200 I actually forgive Trey Lance for the interception. I'm not 0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:00.000 in a giving grace move but I'll give him great 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:01.760 for that because that was not on him. Go back 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:03.000 and look at the film, look at the route. I 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:05.640 don't know what Jalen Tobart's route was supposed to be there. 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:09.880 It was bad, but it wasn't what it was supposed Yeah, 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:12.600 so that interception was on Jalen Tobert. I would have 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:14.719 liked to see more of Trey Lance, especially earlier in 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:18.600 the game. But nonetheless, for lost fumbles. We talked about 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.200 Cooper Rush coming into a different situation. This is not 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:24.240 twenty twenty two. Your offensive line cannot protect you consistently. 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:27.360 You don't have receivers that can get separation. But hey, 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:29.839 for two quarters you had a defense that actually was 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:32.120 taking the ball away and actually was giving you a shot. 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:34.760 But because you started seeing ghosts, you started the panic 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:38.279 and things kind of went from there. So worst outing 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:41.719 of Cooper Rush's professional career. I'm not even we'll get 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.280 through the protection numbers, but this is bad. It's lost 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:45.679 us your vacation time in January. 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:46.520 It's a go. 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.360 I think that that drive, that fifteen play drive Verzi 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:51.440 fumbles in the end zone. I think that, of course, 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.440 like we've talked about before, it's like Oh, there are 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:57.080 these plays. There are these absolute disastrous plays that just 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.719 make up and tell you the story of what the 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:02.200 sea in his like for the Cowboys at every turn, 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:05.160 no matter how good you start to look momentum wise, 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:12.800 it just results in just a bone headed play, decision, interception, fumble, 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.600 whatever it is, like, it just ends up being that way. 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:16.560 And then the. 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:18.880 Defense right after that causes the fumble to put you 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:21.600 right back at first in goal. 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:23.840 They negated that whole scenario. 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:25.200 Yes, yes, so you. 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:31.120 Micah Parsons deleted the lat mistake. Absolutely off, delete, delete 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.000 the lead. I mean, he like got rid of it. 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:37.360 And we've talked about how Mike, how we interpret that. 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.360 Mike McCarthy feels about fumbling in the red zone right 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.080 the very next series when they come back out, who 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:46.320 is your starting running back? And they gave them, what 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:49.080 the heck are we doing that? 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:52.280 I said, that doghouse stuff is kind of weird because 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:54.720 you don't know when he's going to choose to apply it. 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:55.720 It's really strange. 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:57.559 And he of course he didn't get a carry after 0:07:57.600 --> 0:07:59.640 that though, right he got that next carry of the 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:02.680 opening drive. I don't think he had enough game. 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:05.160 There's that's such an odd decision to me. 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:07.360 And then again, like we talked about, you have four 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:09.120 plays and you gain one yard? 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:11.320 Am I right? That was it? 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:13.560 Rico o'dwell that got the third down carry on that 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:15.840 drive too, and it wasn't going for anything. 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:16.840 Look, didn't go anywhere. 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:19.040 I don't need to tell you guys that those two 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:22.320 drives where you need twelve yards total and two drives 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:25.000 for the chance to get fourteen points is bad. But 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:27.160 let me tell you what's worse. You want to know 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:29.600 what the Cowboys did on their next six drives, talk 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:36.560 to us three and out, three and out, three and out, fumble, fumble, 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:39.440 interception in those. 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:44.280 Six drives in those six great, not great, it's it's 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:45.040 not done yet. 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:47.319 How many how many yards do you think they gained 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:48.720 no offense in that time span? 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:51.720 Oh that's a good twenty five five yards? 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:53.800 Twenty three yards? 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:55.840 Are you're gonna make me throw up into this bowl? 0:08:55.880 --> 0:09:01.160 The Eagles scored for the unanswered points, So the Eagles 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:06.679 had more points than the Cowboys had yards essentially the 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:07.320 rest of the way. 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:11.000 I mean, that's that. That says it. That says it. 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:11.880 That's the story of this. 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:16.360 Game, right, I mean, you take under Mike Zimmers, defense's 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:19.280 best is best half we've seen all years. 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:21.800 It was right, yeahs. 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:24.520 Turned it into. 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:30.400 The follow through on it. I can't follow it. 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:34.120 No, no, no, that's that that there's no other way 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:36.040 to put it. I mean, five sacks in the first half. 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.200 That's the most Cowboys tied for the most that they've 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:40.040 had in a regular season game in the last twenty 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:40.720 five years. 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:43.559 And you just window. 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:47.240 Felt that you had to take advantage of that first 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:50.920 half from the defense, knowing that the Cowboys and third 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:53.040 quarters are not friends. 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:54.360 They are not friends. 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:58.280 They are toxic xes who are out for each other's 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:02.920 but out scored in the third quarter alone eighty two 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:03.720 to twenty two. 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:07.760 This year, you are minus sixty minus sixty in the 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:09.560 third quarter. It might I remind you this is not 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:11.920 over the course of an entire season. This is over 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:16.720 the course of nine games. Sixty divided by nine is nine. Great. 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:20.560 Bob nak MGB and uh Jerry Jones even talked about 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:21.120 it after the game too. 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:22.000 It's like we could we got. 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.240 To figure out what we're drinking at halftime, what we 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:29.680 drink quarter. I mean, there's there's something really drastically wrong 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:32.760 about the way that they are making adjustments coming out 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.480 of halftime, and if they are even. 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:36.920 Making it es, well, that's the wind too. 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:37.960 Maybe that's the game plan. 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:40.160 And we've we've talked about this on this show previously. 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:41.480 It may not have been this year, but it might 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:44.240 have been in the past. But NFL halftimes are so 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:48.320 short that fans, I think, have this preconceived notion that 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:50.679 you're gonna go into halftime, You're gonna get this who 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:53.079 rob speech from the coaching staff, and they're gonna get 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:54.840 you fired up to go out there for the third quarter, 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:56.640 and they're gonna get you set, and we're gonna break 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:58.160 down the film and we're gonna look at it all. 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:00.480 And everybody's sitting there listening to Mike mc arthy is 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:02.560 he outlines the game plan going into the second half 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:05.840 in eleven is not what happens at all. That is 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:08.000 not at halftime at the NFL level. The halftime at 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:10.400 the NFL level, you get down there, most of the time, 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:13.200 guys will either go to the restroom, grab a drink, 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:17.040 sit down as the coaching staff comes down from the booth. 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:20.360 So you might get an opportunity if your coach, your 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:23.480 position coach was in the booth, you'll get maybe three 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:27.120 minutes to talk to him or her, whatever ends up being. 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:30.800 In the NFL, you get three minutes in your locker 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:33.200 room to talk to your position, coach or whoever's directly 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:37.040 your superior I guess in that moment. Then after that 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.559 you go back onto the field and get ready for 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:42.000 the second half. So there's not a ton of adjusting 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:45.079 that can happen. But what you can say is you 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:47.600 got to have the right mindset coming out of that break. 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.640 And it certainly hasn't been the case. These guys aren't 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:53.720 locked in, they haven't played well, and there's a lot 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:56.120 of things that go to effort in the NFL, and 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:58.280 we've talked about effort before. I don't think it's a 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:00.960 lack of effort. I think it's a lack of mentality, 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:03.800 if that makes sense, because you can still give physical 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:07.520 effort but not completely be there right whenever you're locked 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:09.840 in on the game plan or whatever it may be 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:12.400 from a playbook standpoint, and when you're getting outscored by 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:15.360 sixty points in the third quarter alone, you're not locked in. 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:16.120 I don't know. 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:17.560 I don't know what else to tell them. As much 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:19.880 credit as we're giving the defense. He also had Kiln Carson, 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:21.959 who did not have a great game. They were targeting him. 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:24.000 Oh, they picked on him very much. 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:26.040 And Kellen Moore a. 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:31.080 Peppy We've addressed this, yes, but Kellen said, I'm not 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:32.839 going to throw to that guy. I'm not going to 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:33.960 throw the Jordan Lewis. 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:34.679 I'm gonna pick on this. 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:37.760 I'm gonna circle this rookie that the seat belt. They 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.040 may have seat belt cutters in that that locker room 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:42.400 for Philadelphia because they got after. 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:42.800 Him a little bit. 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:44.880 No, and let's run as many crossers as we possibly 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.079 can to get these guys out of position and make 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:50.640 them play man right, which is just not a good 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:52.600 recipe for successful for me. 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:56.520 The third quarter, and when you look at yesterday's third quarter, 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:58.640 it was more or less a microcosm of what we've 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:02.640 seen in almost every third quarter this seasons. Cal makes 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:04.559 a great point. It's not like you can go pull 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:08.560 up the whiteboard and pull out the film this, have 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:11.520 a whole team meeting at havetime for adjustments. No, you 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:14.520 have to adjust quickly and adapt quickly. Now, that's what 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:16.480 the other team is doing. That's why they come out 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:19.080 and they're playing different football. If you contain them over 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:20.920 the first couple of quarters, they're like, yeah, well, we 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:21.920 see how they're playing us. 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:23.439 We're going to change this up. Fine. 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:25.480 That means that's going to give them the advantage, especially 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:28.320 if they're getting the ball first, because the Cowboys keep 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:30.640 choosing to receive the ball. 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:34.360 When they win the coin toss. I don't even starting 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:34.600 on that. 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:38.120 So in this situation, you still have fifteen minutes in 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:41.960 that quarter, fifteen football minutes to make your adaptation to 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:46.080 their adaptation problem is yesterday in the third quarter, another 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:48.720 example of no adaptation over the course of an entire 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:49.400 third quarter. 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:50.960 So when I'm seeing. 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:56.280 Cal Josh, Tommy, you weren't here for this, Josh, what 0:13:56.400 --> 0:14:00.640 I say about Donovan Wilson and zimmer scheme not good? 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:03.319 What did I say? He keeps asking Donovan to do that. 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:06.000 Is actually the weakest point top play over the top 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:10.839 and play go backwards coverage And how did that work 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:11.560 out yesterday? 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:12.640 Not? 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:17.120 Well, that's because Sirianni and Kellen Moore went into the 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:20.760 half and Kellen Moore knows Donovan Wilson very well for 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:23.640 obvious reasons, and he said, you know what, I noticed 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:26.240 that they keep dropping Donovan Wilson back in coverage. Let's 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:30.480 attack that with Dallas Goddard. Okay, here we go. They're 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:33.520 attacking Donovan Wilson. Hey, Zimmer, by the way, they were 0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:37.160 drawing a circle around Donovan. Now maybe making a no, okay, 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:40.160 no no tick tick tick tick tick. Now when the 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:42.000 fourth quartering of the game is blown wide open already, 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:45.040 it's too late. So for me, it's not making adjustments 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:48.160 in real time. It's you know, guys, Yeah, they're giving 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.880 the effort, but you know they're just not in position 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:52.600 to make the plays in the third quarter, in the 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:55.240 fourth quarter that they were in the first quarter. We 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:58.120 know that Demarvejon was a little bit hampered because he 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:00.000 turns out he suffered the knee injury in the first 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:01.600 half and he kind of came back in and he 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:04.040 kind of played through it. But he was battling that. 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:07.600 But no one else when Marveong got hampered, no one 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:10.760 else other than Michael was on demon time, right, So 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:13.680 where were the Demons in the second half. But again, 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:15.520 I'm not going to hang this loss. I'm really not 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:17.760 im not going to hang this loss on the defense. 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:21.800 You're going to lose your edge defensively. 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:25.440 When you're not playing a complimentary football, offense starts to 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:27.480 dip mistakes, you start to get frustrated. 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:28.960 They put you in your situation. 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:32.280 What's the point, Well, you don't have time to breathe, right, Yeah, 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:35.120 they don't have time to breathe. Three three and ounce 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:37.240 and three turnovers back to back to back to back 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:38.360 to back to back drives. 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:40.800 You don't have time to catch your breath now. 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:42.960 So you're sitting there on the sideline saying, can you 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:45.720 please just get one first down? Just exactly you please? 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:46.640 You just think. 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:51.680 As deflating as it is for an offense to not 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:54.240 come away with six points when you've got the ball 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:57.360 on the six yard line, how deflating is it for 0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:01.880 a defense to get two eight turnovers back to back 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:04.560 to get you in that spot, just for your offense 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:06.080 to run four plays. 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:09.160 Both times that they didn't end up in points in 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:11.840 the inside the ten yard line, or I guess they 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:14.880 ended up with just the three on the after the 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:18.600 Micah Stripzak and the Marris leafoul recovery. I watched as 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:22.920 the stadium shot showed the offensive line going back to 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:26.080 the sideline. Both times they showed the offensive line, and 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:29.440 I couldn't help but notice two different faces at that time. 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:31.560 One of them was Zach Martin and then the other 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.160 one was Tyler or Terrence Steel. Those were the two 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.240 guys that I kind of like looked at both times 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:38.640 when we were in the stadium as they were walking back. 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:40.160 When we come back, I want to talk about the 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:43.120 offensive line because it was kind of it was kerfuffled, 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:46.080 but there was also a bright spot on the left side. 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:47.920 I want to talk about a little bit more as well, 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:52.040 but that's part of where I think this offensive struggle 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:55.760 has started and continued throughout the twenty twenty four season 0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:58.160 offensive line. Talk more about the offensive side of the 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:02.040 ball when we come back with more talking Cowboys.
