Speaker 1: The following.
Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 1: Cowboys.
Speaker 3: This he's Talking Cowboys, Screaming live from the Dallas Cowboys
Speaker 3: World Course.
Speaker 4: At the Star in Frisco's President.
Speaker 2: Touchdown and now your hosts Isaiah Standback, Patrick Walker, Josh Rodriguez,
Speaker 2: and Kyle Yeomans.
Speaker 4: It's a Monday edition of Talking Cowboys, presented by Black
Speaker 4: Rifle Coffee Company, live from the Star in Frisco, Texas
Speaker 4: and the SWBC studios.
Speaker 1: It is a sad Monday around the Star and Frisco.
Speaker 4: Josh Rodriguez there we go, not only upset after the
Speaker 4: forty four to nineteen loss to the New Orleans Saints,
Speaker 4: but he's doubly upset with the double box up top.
Speaker 4: Isaiah Standback is in the building. We got Josh Rodriguez,
Speaker 4: Patrick no C Walker currently doing his best Mario Kart impression.
Speaker 1: He is, I'd be be bopping down one twenty one.
Speaker 5: You up.
Speaker 1: I met him. So both Isaiah and Patrick got stuck
Speaker 1: in traffic this morning. And then that was a parking
Speaker 1: lot that wasn't track. Yeah, I don't know what that was.
Speaker 4: Whoever's on one twenty one today, be safe because apparently
Speaker 4: it isrough rough.
Speaker 1: There's Patty, Oh what's up? Patrick? Nice of you to
Speaker 1: join us. Bro The hill is well, and.
Speaker 4: We we thought it was just gonna be me and
Speaker 4: Josh starting the show, and Isaiah pops in as the
Speaker 4: opens happening, and so beamers in the back. He had
Speaker 4: a two box up, and then he flipped it to
Speaker 4: a three box, but the three box was the empty
Speaker 4: chair Josh and Isaiah, and then he put Josh in
Speaker 4: the infant three box.
Speaker 1: And then now we've got a four box ready to roll.
Speaker 3: And then we're back to when I when I saw
Speaker 3: opening listen at least being figured it out.
Speaker 1: He did. He made adjustments.
Speaker 6: Oh you know what you did there, He saw what
Speaker 6: was going wrong changed you know.
Speaker 7: I'm with you, Isaiah, though, because I chose to pull
Speaker 7: out the charge of the day and I went to
Speaker 7: Georgia so soon as the opportunity presented it.
Speaker 1: So you hit that thing. I put those those u
Speaker 1: GA skills to you, so well, you're you're I was
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara out there. Your ability to hit the hole
Speaker 1: was a little bit better than what I was. Alvin
Speaker 1: Kamara out there, I was I was left. I was right.
Speaker 7: I was a gap b C. I was running it wide.
Speaker 7: I was you know, yeah, so you.
Speaker 1: Weren't in Ezekiel Elliott or Ricodu. I was Alvin Kamara. Yeah,
Speaker 1: otherwise I'd be later. Let's talk about it. Forty four
Speaker 1: to nineteen.
Speaker 4: The Saints dismantle the Dallas Cowboys in Week two at home.
Speaker 4: It was pretty reminiscent of one playoff lossless a year ago.
Speaker 4: It was almost carbon copy, except maybe worse in terms
Speaker 4: of the beat down. I know the playoff game feels
Speaker 4: worse because it was a playoff game and it was
Speaker 4: twenty seven to nothing. But when you give up thirty
Speaker 4: five points in the first half type for the most
Speaker 4: in franchise history.
Speaker 1: Ouch, it's not good, Joe. Ouch, it's not good. Big Ouch.
Speaker 6: No, it just like you said, it feels very reminiscent
Speaker 6: of the wild card week, even a wide open, tight
Speaker 6: end touchdown where we couldn't.
Speaker 1: Even didn't even see him.
Speaker 6: Granted they called back, but like just beat by beat,
Speaker 6: it felt just like that, the same feeling in the
Speaker 6: press box, the same sort of.
Speaker 1: Quiet, eerie, quiet.
Speaker 6: Calm to the press box and everyone is just sort
Speaker 6: of in shock of the performance that we're seeing in
Speaker 6: front of us, right, it is just uh, it was painful.
Speaker 1: But it is weak. Two.
Speaker 6: Although it looked like a playoff game, it is only
Speaker 6: week two.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 4: That's a great thing to remember in all of this
Speaker 4: is that it's one loss. It only counts for one.
Speaker 4: You don't get doubled up. You don't, you're not automatically one.
Speaker 1: And two.
Speaker 4: Now you can't allow the Saints to beat you twice
Speaker 4: because you've got a pretty good Ravens.
Speaker 1: Team coming to town this week.
Speaker 5: So angry one.
Speaker 4: Then you will be one into yeah, or they're gonna
Speaker 4: be one two yeah, yeah, yeah. So I think there's
Speaker 4: a there's a worry amongst Cowboys fans and Patt I'll
Speaker 4: get your insight because you were in the press box
Speaker 4: there as well. It feels like, oh no, here we
Speaker 4: go again. Did a performance like that warrant a reaction?
Speaker 7: I think the reaction is warranted. I don't think it's
Speaker 7: completely off base. And again it goes to what you
Speaker 7: what you're saying, Kyle in that this felt airily reminiscent
Speaker 7: of of January against the Green Bay Packers, and that's
Speaker 7: how it felt in the press box, as Josh can attest.
Speaker 1: It's you know, the offense.
Speaker 7: The opposing offense scores a touchdown on the first drive,
Speaker 7: then the second drive, then the third drive, and you're like,
Speaker 7: oh no, here we go again, and then the fourth
Speaker 7: drive and so forth and so on. Went on to
Speaker 7: score touchdowns on their first six.
Speaker 1: Offensive drives of the game. How many was that six?
Speaker 7: First first six, as in every single one, single one
Speaker 7: in like.
Speaker 1: Three points on a couple of those.
Speaker 7: Right goals, no, no, no, no touchdown toutties, tuddies on the
Speaker 7: first six possessions.
Speaker 1: The Cowboys defense scored six on first six. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: and it was interesting.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was a stat New Orleans had scored a
Speaker 4: touchdown on fifteen straight possessions.
Speaker 1: Yeah, or scored I think it was just score scored
Speaker 1: on down touchdowns against Cowboys.
Speaker 4: They were able to do so on almost every possession
Speaker 4: against Carolina and then going back to last year as well.
Speaker 7: And it it was disheartening and disconcerting to see the
Speaker 7: Cowboys defense flying around like they did against the Cleveland
Speaker 7: Browns and all that talent that the Cleveland Browns have
Speaker 7: and then completely flipped to the other side of the
Speaker 7: coin and kind of revert back to what we saw
Speaker 7: against the Packers. Unable to stop the run, couldn't get takeaways.
Speaker 7: They finally worried able to get the takeaway allah Donovan
Speaker 7: Wilson's interception, but prior to that, they couldn't get off
Speaker 7: the field on third down. It was like doctor Strange
Speaker 7: had us trapped in January until we make a bargain
Speaker 7: with him.
Speaker 1: I mean, we were stuck in the time loop. Do
Speaker 1: we need to do something?
Speaker 7: Is that what we I mean, whatever it takes at
Speaker 7: this point we see And then the added problem was
Speaker 7: is that not dissimilar from January where the defense cannot
Speaker 7: get anything done for you? The offense they were making,
Speaker 7: they were getting drives, but they couldn't punch the ball
Speaker 7: in right. You were trading touchdowns for field goals, touchdowns
Speaker 7: for field goals, and when you do that, you're gonna
Speaker 7: get forty four nineteen, if not worse. And the Cowboys
Speaker 7: had opportunities to make plays. I mean, there was the
Speaker 7: miscommunication from Dak to CD Lamb. That could have been
Speaker 7: a touchdown. That's off the board, right, the potential walk
Speaker 7: in touchdown to the right side to Ezekiel Elliott Dack
Speaker 7: skips that ball that could help change momentum, so there
Speaker 7: were plays to be made out of It wasn't as
Speaker 7: bad as we think. It wasn't as bad, but it
Speaker 7: was still trash. I mean, let's let's let's call it
Speaker 7: what it was. That outing was a trash outing for
Speaker 7: the Cowboys now in all three phases because special team.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Aubrey is Aubrey. Right.
Speaker 7: So when you said three phases, I'm thinking more so
Speaker 7: return game. That's return game d tribute either, like you know.
Speaker 7: And that's not a knock on Turpin because Turpin did
Speaker 7: help them with a couple of returns as far as
Speaker 7: field position. But credit to the Saints, they kept kicking
Speaker 7: it away from Turping on kickoff returns Yea and darreon
Speaker 7: Dwanye to do it. But it was one of the
Speaker 7: worst outings defensively that you will see. We still don't
Speaker 7: know what this team is under Zimmer. You have a
Speaker 7: phenomenal showing in Cleveland and then they went to bid
Speaker 7: at home. Here comes to Ragning in the NFL MVP.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. That's gonna be a tough one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just I'm just I'm just looking over some
Speaker 3: notes and stuff, and one of the things kind of concerning.
Speaker 1: Dallas.
Speaker 3: Cowboys obviously didn't take care of business. That's there's no
Speaker 3: question there. But Al Kamara he's kind of a dude.
Speaker 3: He's kind of a dude, and they set him up
Speaker 3: to be a dude. And both the games now, including
Speaker 3: this most recent one where he had four plus touchdowns,
Speaker 3: this game he had four touchdowns. His other game where
Speaker 3: he had four plus touchdowns, I think it was a
Speaker 3: five touchdown outing. Both came against what coordinator.
Speaker 1: Zem interesting you said it.
Speaker 3: To your point, Josh, how you started to show off.
Speaker 3: No adjustments were made. Now, that's what was concerning to me.
Speaker 5: We knew.
Speaker 3: We sat here, We talked about it on this show,
Speaker 3: We talked about it on a special edition, we talked
Speaker 3: about it on pregame Live, we talked about it on everything,
Speaker 3: all the all the I'm sure.
Speaker 5: All the all the all the stories are written up.
Speaker 3: This team offensively was very dangerous if they were allot
Speaker 3: at time. That's what we sat here and said last week. Yeah, yeah, right,
Speaker 3: We said, if you don't get back, don't get pressure
Speaker 3: on him. He will dice you up because he has
Speaker 3: the weapons, he has the speed. If and what we
Speaker 3: all assumed if you're able to get back through and
Speaker 3: get some pressure on him, then he will throw some
Speaker 3: up to you. And they got to him one time
Speaker 3: and threw it up.
Speaker 1: Okay, you got an interception.
Speaker 5: Good job. Outside of that, there was no pressure. Outside
Speaker 5: of that, there was.
Speaker 3: No creat seemingly no creativity in terms of finding way
Speaker 3: to create pressure. This team was on their heels. Dallas Cowboys,
Speaker 3: that is, was on their heels the entire time. We
Speaker 3: knew there was gonna be misdirection, we knew there was
Speaker 3: gonna be pre snap motions, We knew that you all
Speaker 3: these guys did more than one thing. Okay, Alvin Kamara
Speaker 3: is a receiver and a running back. Taysom Hills a receiver,
Speaker 3: a running back, a quarterback, a full back, and a
Speaker 3: running you know, it's like he's everything. Okay, tight end.
Speaker 3: All these guys do versatile things. So you have to
Speaker 3: find a way to be aggressive early on because if
Speaker 3: you are on the receiving end, you're gonna receive the
Speaker 3: l And that's.
Speaker 1: Exactly what happened for me.
Speaker 7: It was also one of the more concerning things is
Speaker 7: and let's let's qualify it. It is week two. It
Speaker 7: is week two. It is not the playoffs yet. But
Speaker 7: here's why it's concerning for when the playoffs rolled around,
Speaker 7: because this is still a twelve win team for me.
Speaker 7: Four more losses to go. Okay, That's how I looked
Speaker 7: at it driving in today. I was like, Okay, got
Speaker 7: one out the way, four more losses to go, but
Speaker 7: it's still a twelve win team. That being said, we
Speaker 7: talked about it going into this season in that it's
Speaker 7: not the regular season we're too much concerned about. It's
Speaker 7: what happens in the postseason. And going up against Clint Kobak,
Speaker 7: you basically went up against Shanahan Junior. And if you
Speaker 7: struggle like that against Shanahan Junior at home, guess what
Speaker 7: awaits you after the bye and potentially, depending on seating,
Speaker 7: what might await you in January, which might be a
Speaker 7: rematch with Shanahan. And that's where it really kind of
Speaker 7: gets concerning for me because bringing in Mike Zimmer, making
Speaker 7: the changes, bringing in Eric Kendricks, adding lyn Val Joseph,
Speaker 7: adding Jordan Phillips, adding Carlos and all of these guys,
Speaker 7: you're supposed to be doing this with the idea of, hey,
Speaker 7: forty nine ers, we're building for you. Obviously we're biding
Speaker 7: to stop the Eagles, but on a bigger picture, will
Speaker 7: biard it, we're building to stop Kyle Shanahan. Finally get
Speaker 7: over that hump. Well, Shanahan Junior just took you to
Speaker 7: the woodshed. Yeah, did so what Shanahan gonna do?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 4: And Matt Lafleur and Met laflor and Seann mcvayh Yeah,
Speaker 4: that that's true.
Speaker 1: Tell me.
Speaker 4: I mean the whole tree has given you absolute issues.
Speaker 4: And I asked this question yesterday on Cowboys OT and
Speaker 4: when you go up against the Kyle Shanahan coaching tree,
Speaker 4: it's a similar system across the board, but each of
Speaker 4: those coaches has.
Speaker 1: Their own unique little twist to it.
Speaker 4: What was the twist from Clint qb act yesterday that
Speaker 4: kept Dallas completely off balance?
Speaker 3: I just think that the versatility of each player. I
Speaker 3: don't think that Dallas had a solid approach. I don't
Speaker 3: think they knew how to attack New Orleans and in
Speaker 3: their offense, I truly don't.
Speaker 4: I mean, what if I tell you this early in
Speaker 4: the season, for a coordinator that has had all off
Speaker 4: season and even beyond, it.
Speaker 3: Felt as if he was still trying to figure it out.
Speaker 3: That's what it felt like. I mean, obviously none of
Speaker 3: us know, right, but it felt as if in his
Speaker 3: body language and just watching him on the sideline, it
Speaker 3: looked like he was lost in terms. I'm talking about
Speaker 3: coach Zimmer, right, and I'm sure he will figure it out.
Speaker 3: I am almost positive he will figure it out. But
Speaker 3: this was my concern this offseason when we started talking
Speaker 3: about defensive coordinators. You guys remember a conversation we had
Speaker 3: we were start talking about Zimmer where he was talking
Speaker 3: about Rex Ryan, who can be the most creative because
Speaker 3: if teams could figure out what you do, can he adjust?
Speaker 3: He's been out the game for a minute, right, and
Speaker 3: he has a solid defense. When it works, it works,
Speaker 3: But when it doesn't work, can you adjust and are
Speaker 3: you as fluid enough to be to create different matchups
Speaker 3: and create different looks to throw off the defense, Because
Speaker 3: that's one thing that.
Speaker 5: I knew about Rex Ryan.
Speaker 3: I was like, Rex Ryan might get punched into the
Speaker 3: mouth defensively, but guess what, You're gonna see some craziness
Speaker 3: coming to the next series, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: So like that was one of my concerns is can
Speaker 3: he adjust and adapt? As the game goes on, and
Speaker 3: this was our first opportunity to see that in the
Speaker 3: answer was no.
Speaker 7: Well, and I'll say this, and I'm curious what Josh
Speaker 7: thinks about this, the fact that Overshown came off of
Speaker 7: a maniac level game against the Cleveland Browns, finishes this
Speaker 7: game with only eighteen snaps. Now a lot of fans
Speaker 7: are wondering and they're asking, well, no, see, why did
Speaker 7: Overshown have only eighteen Well, it's because of the packages
Speaker 7: that the Cowboys are running.
Speaker 1: They ran mostly basic.
Speaker 7: And with that being said, if you go back to
Speaker 7: what Mike Zimmer said in his press conference on last
Speaker 7: week after the win against the Browns, oh, I think
Speaker 7: it was Mike McCarthy. It might have been Mike McCarthy
Speaker 7: who were talking about Overshown versus mayor Stleie. If I
Speaker 7: was McCarthy, because I asked him about Leofil and he
Speaker 7: said that he's trying to get Leo File involved more
Speaker 7: in the cell packages. Well, as it stands to Marvey on,
Speaker 7: Overshown is very involved in sub packages, not so much
Speaker 7: the base. You saw a lot of bass being run
Speaker 7: with Leophile in there. And this is not a knock
Speaker 7: to Leaphile as much as it is, it wasn't working.
Speaker 7: So where were the sub packages? So that's question one.
Speaker 7: Question two could be a spin off of question one,
Speaker 7: which would be why isn't Overshown involved more in the
Speaker 7: base packages? Because you needed that speed against Alvin Kamara.
Speaker 7: We talked about it on Friday, would say it with
Speaker 7: your chance? I said, I would spy Alvin Kamara with
Speaker 7: Jordan Lewis, and they didn't.
Speaker 1: Here we are. But Isaiah had.
Speaker 7: A feasible plan as well, which was okay, well, don't
Speaker 7: spy him. But Isaiah was under the premise that Overshown
Speaker 7: would play more and that speed would be out there. Well,
Speaker 7: neither of those things happened. So Overshown eighteen snaps.
Speaker 1: I don't get that.
Speaker 6: I don't understand why you're in base so much throughout
Speaker 6: the game. If their first drive was so was scripted,
Speaker 6: but it was effective, it was perfect, It was pitch perfect.
Speaker 1: We eight plays, eighty yards and it was just chunk, chunk, chunk, exactly.
Speaker 6: We just got knocked and we got hit in the
Speaker 6: face consecutively over eight plays. And the adjustments made after
Speaker 6: that where it's like, okay, let's still.
Speaker 1: Not involve to Marvin overshow.
Speaker 6: You know, it's like, all right, that's fine. You know,
Speaker 6: I didn't hear nobell that whole thing. You don't have
Speaker 6: de Marvin Overstone in there. That's a problem for me.
Speaker 6: And then on top of that, it's they stopped being creative.
Speaker 6: They stopped doing their motions that were obviously putting us
Speaker 6: on our heels, right that the moving the line and
Speaker 6: getting us out of position. But after that, in the
Speaker 6: second half, all they were doing were outside runs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like, if you.
Speaker 6: Know what they're gonna do, how do you not fix it?
Speaker 6: You know, it's like, all right, you're not going to
Speaker 6: run this play anymore.
Speaker 3: We talked about that last week though we knew that
Speaker 3: they were going to go sideline A sideline, Yes, we
Speaker 3: talked about it. It's a sideline, a sign they want
Speaker 3: to get you moving side ways, right, and this and
Speaker 3: let's not just this is not all coach and Zimmer, right.
Speaker 3: I don't want to of course, this is not a
Speaker 3: bashing thing on Zimmer, but he did not adjust to
Speaker 3: call a spade a spade, right, And I'm sure he's
Speaker 3: sitting there.
Speaker 5: If you go back and look at some of the
Speaker 5: sideline footage.
Speaker 3: He looked like he was trying to figure out life, right,
Speaker 3: And I'm sure he's going to go back and watch
Speaker 3: the film a thousand times over and he'll have to
Speaker 3: make adjustments.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 3: The game is moving, this game is evolving. You have
Speaker 3: to move with the times, right, That's yeah. Structure and
Speaker 3: discipline is awesome, but you got to move with the
Speaker 3: times as it goes. But also, these players were not
Speaker 3: getting off blocks execution. These guys were not getting off blocks.
Speaker 3: And I don't know, and none of us sit at
Speaker 3: the table know what their gap assignments were any of
Speaker 3: that stuff, but we do know if somebody was responsible
Speaker 3: for them gaps, right, so, and guys were getting consumed
Speaker 3: by blocks and they were getting out.
Speaker 1: I don't even know the best of everything right outmanned.
Speaker 3: It was concerning to me the lack of h movement
Speaker 3: we had going on the line of scrimmage, and that
Speaker 3: goes across the board. I'm not going to single out
Speaker 3: certain individuals, but there are people that are lighter in
Speaker 3: the butt than they once were before. And once you
Speaker 3: engage with some of these linemen, there was no disengame,
Speaker 3: there was no shedding of blocks.
Speaker 4: I can put names I mean you saw Michael Parsons
Speaker 4: walled up multiple times by tight ends. Since when has
Speaker 4: Michael Parson's ever been susceptible to being.
Speaker 1: Blocked one on one with a tight end?
Speaker 5: Ever?
Speaker 1: Never? Never?
Speaker 4: How many times did you see Mazzi Smith on the ground?
Speaker 4: How many times did you see Jordan Phillips on the ground.
Speaker 4: I mean it was not all got pushed, Everyone got bullied.
Speaker 4: Everyone on the defensive line got bullied.
Speaker 1: We talked about this with Micah.
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, yeah, but the one way we know how
Speaker 6: to beat Micah is to run directly at him, sure,
Speaker 6: and and to chip him, and to run straight at
Speaker 6: him because he doesn't know how to handle misdirection. And
Speaker 6: when you're you're coming towards him with several blockers and
Speaker 6: chipping him, he didn't like. There's just hard the size
Speaker 6: isn't there necessarily for him to make any run stops.
Speaker 7: But also in that and also it's it's the unpredictability
Speaker 7: of Clint Kubiak in that from the Shanahan Tree, it's
Speaker 7: they keep you so off balance and that's why you
Speaker 7: you have to.
Speaker 1: Get pressure on the quarterback.
Speaker 7: So our good friend Nicole Hutchinson, she was asking me
Speaker 7: after the game yesterday, she said, well against the Shanahan scheme, like,
Speaker 7: how do you stop the running back? Well, rather it
Speaker 7: be Christian McCaffrey ovin Kamari. You have to have someone
Speaker 7: assigned to them, right, whether it's a direct spy or
Speaker 7: you look at a guy like Overshown and say, okay,
Speaker 7: well keep hit. That's your assignment, right, Maybe not necessarily
Speaker 7: a spy, but keep an eye on him. But when
Speaker 7: you don't have that speed or that commitment to that person,
Speaker 7: now it's going to make it more difficult to allow
Speaker 7: pressure to get back there against the quarterback. And then
Speaker 7: you see a rock Perty or you see a Jordan Love,
Speaker 7: or you see a Derek Card dicing you up because
Speaker 7: they get to sit back there foul their nails before
Speaker 7: they run through their progressions. Now, there is one particular
Speaker 7: play which was evidence to just how off balance Kubiak
Speaker 7: had them at that point in the game. They had
Speaker 7: attacked the edges so effectively, and they had stretched the
Speaker 7: field so effectively with shahed and over the top and
Speaker 7: a lave shahiitschhahishah. Make you forget about a lave, forget
Speaker 7: about him, forget about him, and a lave right. Now the
Speaker 7: linebackers are stretched side to side, right, drop back, here
Speaker 7: comes Michael Parsons. Let him run free, because you know
Speaker 7: what we're gonna do. We're gonna dump it off right
Speaker 7: there in the middle. Now that the linebackers are playing
Speaker 7: side to side and they're playing these assignments right, drop
Speaker 7: it off to Alvin Kamara. He has a convoy. It's
Speaker 7: a fifty seven to sixty yard touch a s right.
Speaker 7: That is how off balanced they had the Cowboys yesterday
Speaker 7: on all three levels of defense.
Speaker 3: But even when coach Zimran, we broke this down after
Speaker 3: the game right and again game night. Okay, I see
Speaker 3: you guys, go back and watch that. I'm sure it's
Speaker 3: on YouTuber.
Speaker 1: Actually it is a really cool show. By the way,
Speaker 1: just sidebar game Night.
Speaker 4: We revamped it into a film study, so it's an
Speaker 4: immediate reaction and immediate film work, and it's on the
Speaker 4: night of the game every week.
Speaker 5: So just just don't check it out. Dallas Cowboys dot
Speaker 5: com go check it out.
Speaker 3: But we broke down one of the plays that actually
Speaker 3: the Rashid Shi heat play right where he ran the
Speaker 3: post route over the top the top right call right
Speaker 3: defensive call by Mike Zimmer.
Speaker 5: Terrible execution by the players.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, Malik Hooker stayed in his backpedal like he
Speaker 3: was shooting an Instagram.
Speaker 7: But something else happened on that play. Also, though, something
Speaker 7: else happened on that play. But I don't want to
Speaker 7: be that guy because it didn't It didn't matter.
Speaker 1: I'll be that guy. Michael Parsons got help.
Speaker 7: Michael Parsons got assaulted on that Yeah, that touchdown doesn't happen. However,
Speaker 7: it's also true that while the refs completely closed their
Speaker 7: eyes and were whistling Dixie while Michael Parsons was being
Speaker 7: assaulted on that play.
Speaker 1: Ultimately, it didn't matter anyway.
Speaker 4: Episode, even if it doesn't affect the second exactly exactly
Speaker 4: both things.
Speaker 3: Yeah, those are two different assignments, right, Obviously they collectively
Speaker 3: come together to for execution. But Michael Parsons, Okay, he
Speaker 3: got assaulted. Cool, hope you wish we could have got
Speaker 3: the call. Didn't get the call, but you don't rely
Speaker 3: on the call. Drive later anyway, He ran and dog
Speaker 3: on tap danced on the toes of Milie Hooker. Versus
Speaker 3: cover two two high safeties. Two safeties are responsible for
Speaker 3: staying back.
Speaker 1: Safety.
Speaker 3: Safety means you're the last man safe safety. There's two
Speaker 3: of them, right, Coach made sure. Coach called it to
Speaker 3: make sure that nobody got over the top. Well the
Speaker 3: backside safety. Okay, Donald was trying to go and make
Speaker 3: sure he took care to cross. It is a crossing
Speaker 3: route that was coming across the face, so okay, so
Speaker 3: Donald's responsible for that to check to make sure that's good.
Speaker 3: Uh Rashid Shaheed gets up on the toes. Malie Hooker
Speaker 3: nods him to the right. Milie Hooker opens his hips
Speaker 3: and to the rights, and then he literally just takes
Speaker 3: the backside post behind where Donovan Wilson was just at.
Speaker 3: Malie Hooker was supposed to be the furthest man back
Speaker 3: on defense, and he was not the furthest man back
Speaker 3: on defense. And if you have somebody who is literally
Speaker 3: three tenths of a second faster than you, you might
Speaker 3: want to get out of your back pedal as soon
Speaker 3: as they get about five yards away. Just say yeah, yep,
Speaker 3: she Heed is the fastest man on that field at
Speaker 3: that given time.
Speaker 5: Any questions there, Okay, he.
Speaker 1: Was looking to the sideline.
Speaker 4: I mean he was all sor turned around and by
Speaker 4: that point, Shaheed, all he had to do was just
Speaker 4: run the open space.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 4: And Derek Carr, I mean, give credit where credit. Derek
Speaker 4: Carr threw a phenomenal build, phenomenal, but we know he
Speaker 4: does it if he has time to throw.
Speaker 7: That's why you needed to delete the time. But it
Speaker 7: had to begin with deleting Alvin Kamara. You deleted Alvin Kamara,
Speaker 7: you would have deleted sixty percent of their offensive package
Speaker 7: and you would have forced the game on Derek Carr. Now,
Speaker 7: of course he still has shot, he still had a lave,
Speaker 7: he had those weapons. But by deleting Alvin Kamara, now
Speaker 7: you can shrink the field, you can shrink the width,
Speaker 7: and now you have to make him play within this
Speaker 7: pocket and you can make him uncomfortable. But man, Derek
Speaker 7: Carr was comfortable all game and as a result, the
Speaker 7: Cowboys defense was uncomfortable.
Speaker 5: Prist game.
Speaker 1: We were talking about it last week.
Speaker 4: Those weapons are legitimate, they are a threat, and we
Speaker 4: saw exactly how that was. I mean, I did a
Speaker 4: radio call in New Orleans on Friday. I did a
Speaker 4: radio call.
Speaker 1: With the enemy team now and.
Speaker 4: They were saying, what part of this team scares you
Speaker 4: the most, or worries you the going into this matchup.
Speaker 4: And I was like the offense, and they were like, wow,
Speaker 4: that's the first time I think we've ever heard that
Speaker 4: the offense is what scares us going into this matchup.
Speaker 1: Moth, do you even watch your own team? Right? I
Speaker 1: mean this team has weapons around them and they showed
Speaker 1: them all three state games in a row.
Speaker 5: Now for the New Orleans States, scoring over forty four points.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're legit. They're legit.
Speaker 4: Does it stop the fact that the Cowboys didn't play
Speaker 4: a good football who they.
Speaker 1: Did not play on either.
Speaker 5: Side of the ball.
Speaker 4: We've talked about the defense. When we come back, let's
Speaker 4: talk about the offensive side. What went wrong for Dak
Speaker 4: Prescott and company. The ground game non existent. I'm thinking
Speaker 4: I'm thinking about putting the milk carton net out for
Speaker 4: the run game, like the next couple of days.
Speaker 1: Let me know if that's a good idea or not.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back with more talking Cowboys.
Speaker 8: Right after this, Todd thought it would be secure to
Speaker 8: jog in the Cheatah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat
Speaker 8: repellent he bought online was reliable, and now Todd is
Speaker 8: trying to be faster than this cheetah that can run
Speaker 8: eighty miles per hour. But the good news is Todd
Speaker 8: has at and T five G. It is fast, reliable,
Speaker 8: and secure, and he learned the best thing to do
Speaker 8: is stop running and toss her the back pack with
Speaker 8: the beef stew at and T fi G. Fast, reliable, secure.

Speaker 1: To Talking Cowboys.
Speaker 4: Back here on Talking Cowboys as we review the forty
Speaker 4: four to nineteen loss to the New Orleans Saints. This
Speaker 4: portion of Talking Cowboys is brought to you by a
Speaker 4: Quaker Oats, the official oatmeal sponsor of the Dallas Cowboy
Speaker 4: Quaker Oats, trusted since eighteen seventy seven.
Speaker 1: Dag nabbit, what.
Speaker 5: One messed up my ability to get my ot.
Speaker 1: Get your oats in this morning? Yeah? I was right there.
Speaker 1: It was probably like something.
Speaker 5: It's so angry right now.
Speaker 1: That was the one pushback on on the Cowboys loss.
Speaker 1: You were like, at least I still get my oats
Speaker 1: in the morning.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and even listen, I mean, I know we're up here,
Speaker 3: mad mad sad, sad mad about the Dallas Cowboys, and
Speaker 3: we can say it's week two, but give respect, give
Speaker 3: respect to the New Orleans Saints. Give respect you to
Speaker 3: the New Orleans Saints. They are who we chose to
Speaker 3: think that they weren't. They are, they're they're legitimate competitor
Speaker 3: of these guys. They heard the Seriously, their offense is legit.
Speaker 3: What they put on film last week is legit. It
Speaker 3: wasn't because of who they were playing, So don't want
Speaker 3: to make it. There's no excuses here, No excuses are
Speaker 3: being made. There's accountability being had, there's no fingers being pointed.
Speaker 5: This is just being real.
Speaker 3: The Dallas Cowboys were not ready to meet the match
Speaker 3: that was set forth before them. That Saints are real
Speaker 3: and you have to put some respect on it. So
Speaker 3: all that, all that, uh that nation. I ain't gonna
Speaker 3: say the whole day, but y'all respect You guys have
Speaker 3: a good team, and you know, I never know, I
Speaker 3: might see you guys again.
Speaker 1: Might might, just just might. Yeah, they've never met in
Speaker 1: the playoffs before.
Speaker 4: It's the only NFC team the Cowboys have never met
Speaker 4: in the playoffs.
Speaker 7: Be fun, And then it looks like if I want
Speaker 7: to see the playoffs right now, I mean a couple
Speaker 7: of weeks, no, man, like I mean, it would be
Speaker 7: fun though, because if if the Eagles take this division.
Speaker 7: And I say that because it's it's damn near impossible
Speaker 7: to win this division two years in a row, right,
Speaker 7: and Cowboys won it last year. So let's say the
Speaker 7: Eagles take this division. Cowboys are obviously still in the
Speaker 7: playoffs because I think they're twelve one team, and like
Speaker 7: you said, cow maybe the Saints running away with the
Speaker 7: NFC South and it could be a situation where Cowboys
Speaker 7: now have to repay the favor at Mercedes. Yeah, Caesar's
Speaker 7: super now, Oh Caesar, it's news, right, now, by the way,
Speaker 7: for before nineteen was a score of Gomi, so a
Speaker 7: sad score at Gomi in the NFL. I was almost
Speaker 7: right on my score, but I chose me too, Me too,
Speaker 7: me too, Bro, we chose the wrong.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And for everybody out there that that tweeted or do
Speaker 3: you call it tweeter extend?
Speaker 7: What do you call it posted tweets?
Speaker 1: Some say ex everybody who exed us?
Speaker 3: Okay, listen, my my My predictions were based upon the
Speaker 3: fact that Dallas was gonna be able to get pressure,
Speaker 3: and that was the biggest letdown for me because without pressure,
Speaker 3: you didn't stand a chance against these guys.
Speaker 5: You don't have the.
Speaker 1: Speed non existent. You don't have to speed as fast
Speaker 1: as your defense is.
Speaker 5: You don't have to speed the best of those guys.
Speaker 3: So going back and looking at the looking at some
Speaker 3: of the film, I was highly disappointed in our inability
Speaker 3: to to get pressure on Derek Carr and a comfortable
Speaker 3: Derek Carr with fast, versatile weapons, it's dangerous.
Speaker 5: It is dangerous, man, when you can go out there.
Speaker 3: And that's one thing as we go to the offensive
Speaker 3: side that Dallas has to figure out because offensively for
Speaker 3: the new Orleans Saints. What do you have to worry about?
Speaker 3: I have to worry about Alvin Kamara. I have to
Speaker 3: worry about Rashishi. He'd have to worry about Chris Olive.
Speaker 3: I have to worry about Taysom Hill m h. I
Speaker 3: have to worry about all those guys, the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 3: You have to worry about Cede Lamb and Ferguson. That's
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's all you're afraid of. That's what the
Speaker 1: conversation stops.
Speaker 3: Yep, yep, Like I'm not saying that other guys are
Speaker 3: not capable of executing and making plays Cooks, but you're
Speaker 3: not there, Yeah, but you're not yet by.
Speaker 1: These guys who was there last week? Yeah for a touchdown. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a good player, but.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you could be if he was utilized that way.
Speaker 3: But to date, they had not utilized Cooks in a
Speaker 3: way in which you should be fearful of him and
Speaker 3: what he can do to you.
Speaker 5: Fully capable, yes, fully cable has not been placed in
Speaker 5: that position.
Speaker 3: So I say all that to say Dallas has to
Speaker 3: get more creative offensively, and I'm not sure as we
Speaker 3: turn to this running game, I'm not sure that we
Speaker 3: have the threats and this was a concern, right, You
Speaker 3: have a duce Vaughan that is change of pace back.
Speaker 3: But you can't just insert a duce Vaughan early on,
Speaker 3: give him five carries in the same type of scheme
Speaker 3: and think that he's going to have more success just
Speaker 3: because he possesses a different type of capability. You have
Speaker 3: to put him in a position to be successful. Get
Speaker 3: him on the move, get him out in space, put
Speaker 3: him in the slot. We saw it in training camp,
Speaker 3: all those type of things, and maybe those things are
Speaker 3: coming because they're in the bag, right, But in terms
Speaker 3: of inserting him in and expecting different results, that's not
Speaker 3: creativity to me.
Speaker 4: Well, in for New Orleans specifically, I mean this is
Speaker 4: a team that had trouble or the key to slowing
Speaker 4: down New Orleans was getting pressure on Derek Carr. Correct
Speaker 4: The offensive line didn't do any favors to Dallas yesterday.
Speaker 4: The Cowboys offensive line did not block up for the
Speaker 4: running backs that they did not block up well and
Speaker 4: hold a pocket for Dak Prescott. They didn't have a
Speaker 4: ton of time to work and trying to get those
Speaker 4: guys involved.
Speaker 1: I think you're right.
Speaker 4: I think if you're scared of Ceedee Lamb, you're scared
Speaker 4: of the vertical ability.
Speaker 1: Right now of Jake Ferguson.
Speaker 4: Brandon Cooks as a player is capable of being scary.
Speaker 4: Yes where he is right now in the Mike McCarthy
Speaker 4: play called system scary, It's not scary.
Speaker 1: He is utilized in the red zone. Great. He had
Speaker 1: the big touchdown last week. That's awesome. He beat his man.
Speaker 1: The scheme worked out perfectly.
Speaker 4: Cleveland had no answer for Dak threw it up and
Speaker 4: he's there touchdown. That's all that I've seen from Brandon
Speaker 4: Cooks to this point that utilized him in a way
Speaker 4: that's efficient. I want to see more.
Speaker 7: It's fair and my prediction yesterday forty four to twenty,
Speaker 7: but in favor of the Cowboys was not only predicated
Speaker 7: upon their me hoping that they got pressure on Derek Carr.
Speaker 7: It was also predicated to pun this offense finding its
Speaker 7: way at home where they usually find their way. Okay,
Speaker 7: and unfortunately they couldn't do it. It was a lack
Speaker 7: of miscommunication, lack of execution, and untimely penalties. So here
Speaker 7: this is straight from my notes right So, opening Cowboys
Speaker 7: drive Saints march march down the field with their scripted plays.
Speaker 7: So they get seven. It's seven zero, Okay, close game,
Speaker 7: no worries. Cowboys are marching down the field. You're like, okay,
Speaker 7: they're about to handle this holding penalty on Tyler Guidon
Speaker 7: stalled the drive that created a thirty and eighteen situation.
Speaker 7: Cowboys ended up in a fourth and nine that became
Speaker 7: a fifty two yard field goal for Brandon Aubrey. Okay, well,
Speaker 7: second Cowboys drive right. So now Saints marchdown and it's
Speaker 7: fourteen to three. Cowboys are on the move. Okay, Cowboys
Speaker 7: can shrink this lead a little bit. And what happens
Speaker 7: third and ten. Dak Prescott gets sacked because Terrence Steele
Speaker 7: blows the coverage on the right hand side. That turned
Speaker 7: into a fourth and fifteen, which was a thirty eight
Speaker 7: yard field goal by Brandon Aubrey. Okay, Saints, they get
Speaker 7: the ball backhand. Guess what they do? They go down
Speaker 7: and score again. Now it's twenty eight thirteen. Okay, still
Speaker 7: a close game, Cowboys. They're moving the ball right. Let's
Speaker 7: see third and ten, doctor Cooks, that was good when
Speaker 7: the eleven yard game first and ten, Jalen Brooks stumbles
Speaker 7: and falls on the route interception, all right, and it
Speaker 7: kind of went from there. So whether it be miscommunications
Speaker 7: because obviously after that you had the miscommunication to CD downfield,
Speaker 7: it could have been a touchdown. This game was still close, right,
Speaker 7: so they had chances while the defense was wildly unable
Speaker 7: to stop this Saints offense. Your offense could have matched
Speaker 7: serve with every single mistake that the defense did. But instead,
Speaker 7: after long drives, it was either a penalty that started
Speaker 7: it was a miscommunication downfield, It was a skip passed
Speaker 7: to Ezekiel Elliott in the flat that could have been
Speaker 7: a walk in touchdown. It was a sack out by
Speaker 7: Terrence Steele that killed the drive, holding holding calls. So
Speaker 7: it was a culmination of lack of execution, lack of discipline,
Speaker 7: and and just not being on the same page. And
Speaker 7: that's where the concern for me comes because if if
Speaker 7: you had some one of the.
Speaker 1: Three touchdowns in the first eight quarters to start the season, yep,
Speaker 1: two through the one on the ground, is that bad?
Speaker 7: Seems bad, that's bad, that's bad bad, and it's I
Speaker 7: think just just double check.
Speaker 6: It exacerbated by the fact that whenever we were talking
Speaker 6: about it last week, I thought my key to victory
Speaker 6: or the key matchup for me was the offense, our
Speaker 6: offensive line versus their defensive line and.
Speaker 7: Really quickly before you continue. And Marshaun Lattimore was out
Speaker 7: of the game that as well.
Speaker 6: But we couldn't get any traction running the ball like
Speaker 6: at all, There's no there was no juice there. The
Speaker 6: fact that you start without Zeke was surprising to me,
Speaker 6: like you're starting with Rico and you're starting with.
Speaker 7: Deuce that and it did surprised me because I told
Speaker 7: you guys in Science Lab ahead of the season that
Speaker 7: this is what the RB one situation looks like. If
Speaker 7: Zeke starts one game, Rico starts the next game, and
Speaker 7: the alternate Deduce will get more and then Hunter eventually
Speaker 7: we'll get to that.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, what are you seeing out
Speaker 1: of then? What are you seeing out of Rico?
Speaker 7: Rico had some good bursts on those first on those
Speaker 7: first couple of drives, he looked good.
Speaker 1: He looked good. Now now as the game war.
Speaker 4: Relative to Zeke made but I don't think this running
Speaker 4: back room has it all along I'm.
Speaker 7: Talking about to begin the game, because his question he's
Speaker 7: quantifying it as the beginning, like why was Rico over
Speaker 7: Zeke simply because they want to mix it up based
Speaker 7: on the opponent. I don't have a problem with that.
Speaker 7: I'm with Ia on that one.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 7: I will say after the first three or four handoffs,
Speaker 7: it started to slow a bit, and then the game
Speaker 7: just became one dimensional at that point.
Speaker 1: And then what do you want from your running game?
Speaker 7: When you're losing two positions, three positions and the game
Speaker 7: starts to wear roll and you have to drop back
Speaker 7: and pass, and they know you have to drop back
Speaker 7: in pass.
Speaker 6: It's the It's no threat of play action, it's no
Speaker 6: threat of the draw play.
Speaker 1: There is zero threat when it comes to the running game.
Speaker 6: Which is why I'm saying, why if we're not seeing
Speaker 6: it from Rico, why is he in the game if
Speaker 6: we're not seeing it from Deuce? You know, granted, he
Speaker 6: had all of five carries yesterday and it wasn't They
Speaker 6: weren't great, and they weren't blocked.
Speaker 5: He has some it was a cloud of dust, but.
Speaker 1: He has reception.
Speaker 3: I mean, his runs should have been major negative losses
Speaker 3: and he was able to squiggle his way up.
Speaker 1: Offensive line is not the offensive line did not played
Speaker 1: poorly to begin the game.
Speaker 3: Zeke and Rico are one and the same right now,
Speaker 3: except for Ricos more explosive.
Speaker 5: That's why. That's how, that's how it would compare those two.
Speaker 3: I think that Zeke doesn't provide anything on the ground
Speaker 3: that anybody else in your backfield would would not be able.
Speaker 6: To provide play down the field. Though when when that
Speaker 6: kind of.
Speaker 7: Agreed, I think he had had that understanding of that,
Speaker 7: But he also that's your short yardage guy.
Speaker 1: That's I don't feel as if Zeke.
Speaker 3: This is no disrespect to Zeke, right, there's none. I'm
Speaker 3: just being real. I said this when he first came back.
Speaker 3: I don't think he physically has it anymore. I think
Speaker 3: he can block, and I think he can he can
Speaker 3: run the ball. He can do those things. But him
Speaker 3: handing the Zeke the ball is saying this is the
Speaker 3: blocking scheme, and Hanna Rico the ball, I'm saying, this
Speaker 3: is the blocking scheame. You're gonna get sim the results. The
Speaker 3: separate Ricos is going to do it faster. Yeah, right,
Speaker 3: and then Deuce. Deuce is their only cat who's shifty, Like,
Speaker 3: did you see Zeke in open space on a one
Speaker 3: on one is like a twenty minute.
Speaker 5: Shake move on.
Speaker 4: Rico wasn't much better either. I meane times there were
Speaker 4: multiple times between Rico was outside, he was in space,
Speaker 4: he was one on one with a tackler. And I'm
Speaker 4: not comparing the two just but whenever you look on
Speaker 4: the opposite side and you have Alvin.
Speaker 1: Kamara and Alvin Kamara doing what.
Speaker 4: He's doing different, that's different, completely, completely different planet. Because
Speaker 4: he's one of the best in the NFL. But if
Speaker 4: it's one on one in space with Alvin Kamara, you're
Speaker 4: not taking him down. I had zero faith, not even
Speaker 4: partial faith, zero faith that either Ezekiel.
Speaker 1: Elliott or Rico Dada was going to get out of
Speaker 1: one on ones in space. And guess what happened. They
Speaker 1: were taken to the ground. No extra yardists, They're not
Speaker 1: even falling forward. There's no juice in the game. I
Speaker 1: want to go outside and get somebody right or get
Speaker 1: on the phone. Let's figure before you do that. It's
Speaker 1: week three.
Speaker 7: We talked about it last week and I was asked
Speaker 7: if it was it time for Devin cooking we too,
Speaker 7: and I was like no, because he needed to ramp
Speaker 7: up week three.
Speaker 1: It might be time to see and you will see Dalvin.
Speaker 5: Dalvin will come.
Speaker 1: Up this week, but it's time to see and you.
Speaker 3: Will see Dalvin Cook again. But again it's not so
Speaker 3: many position that has.
Speaker 7: Don't go out. What I'm saying is see what first
Speaker 7: fine and then make you.
Speaker 1: And you're going to see that.
Speaker 3: I almost guarantee Dalvin Cook would get moved up this
Speaker 3: week and see what he has. But again, it's not
Speaker 3: solely the running back position. All we're highlighting is that
Speaker 3: those both majority of the running backs in the stable
Speaker 3: right now don't possess the ability to create. And that
Speaker 3: was my concern going into this, like they don't create,
Speaker 3: and you're you're not threatening.
Speaker 5: You don't have Zeke Rico, You're not.
Speaker 3: They're not going to run over anybody and keep moving
Speaker 3: right with the team are about the face.
Speaker 1: They have a guy that does that. Okay, the team
Speaker 1: are about the face.
Speaker 3: When they have a guy on Space Hall, he does
Speaker 3: this thing in terms of being shifty, right, so you
Speaker 3: have a one to two punch in terms of abilities.
Speaker 3: Dallas doesn't have that right now, and that was a
Speaker 3: concern with this running back room.
Speaker 1: And yes, you have to block, yeah, you have to block.
Speaker 3: But right now with the stables that they currently have,
Speaker 3: if the blocking scheme isn't perfect, you're not going far.
Speaker 4: No, no, And it wasn't perfect at all upfront for
Speaker 4: the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Lots to talk about on both sides of the football.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we are going to.
Speaker 4: Take a quick peek ahead to the Ravens because this
Speaker 4: is yeah, we need to sure because you got to
Speaker 4: learn from this. You got to learn from the offense
Speaker 4: and the defensive side, and whether it's going out and
Speaker 4: making adjustments from a roster building standpoint or making adjustments
Speaker 4: in house, you got to make a change because forty
Speaker 4: four nineteen is not good enough and we're going to
Speaker 4: have another team coming in that's hungry in week three when.
Speaker 1: We come back with more talking Cowboys.
Speaker 8: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

Speaker 8: But the good news is Todd has at and T

Speaker 3: Doctor?
Speaker 1: My friend supported me during a tough time.
Speaker 10: But what's the right gift that says thanks for beinging

Speaker 4: Noci Walker, Josh Rodriguez, Isaiah stand back, I'm Kyle Yeomans
Speaker 4: with Chrispy Isaiah.
Speaker 1: It's because you have all the ideas.
Speaker 3: I don't have many ideas right now. I just have
Speaker 3: problems that need to be addressed.
Speaker 1: And I don't want to sound on alarm.
Speaker 3: I mean, this is this is this is not an
Speaker 3: alarm sounding situation.
Speaker 5: But I was more.
Speaker 3: You know what, you know what what made me uneasy?
Speaker 3: You know, we talked about bubble guts on the show
Speaker 3: a lot over the bed recent years. This is the
Speaker 3: first bubble guts, the first bubble gus. Absolutely I got
Speaker 3: the bubble gus because if something's going wrong offensively, you
Speaker 3: look at your quarterback and then you look at your
Speaker 3: O C. And you see their responses. Right, I'm looking
Speaker 3: at their body. That's why body language is so important
Speaker 3: for positions of power in the game of football and
Speaker 3: sports in general.
Speaker 5: Right, you got to look at your leader.
Speaker 1: With your picture in baseball? Does he look nervous?
Speaker 5: Does he does?
Speaker 1: He does?
Speaker 3: He just look frustrated like whatever it is. When they
Speaker 3: were showing coach Zimmer on the sideline, did you guys
Speaker 3: see he.
Speaker 1: Looked like I wasn't watching the broadcast.
Speaker 3: It was like they're listening right now. He was biting
Speaker 3: his nails and he was looking like, I don't know
Speaker 3: what you know? Unselling, like not the like Talladega Knights,
Speaker 3: not the op High bro. It was Talladega Knights. I
Speaker 3: don't know doing my hands. And that was that was
Speaker 3: concerning to me because to me, perception wise, and I
Speaker 3: could be wrong, right, but just I'm a viewer, to me,
Speaker 3: it looked like I don't know what to do, Like
Speaker 3: I like, you know what I'm saying, Like that was
Speaker 3: that was what I had here.
Speaker 5: You go, Okay, this is bad.
Speaker 1: Crap.
Speaker 5: I don't know what to do.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 5: It was the It was the most I don't even know.
Speaker 3: Disconcerting thing to me because it looked like there was
Speaker 3: nothing else that he can go back and grab, like
Speaker 3: there was no other bag to go get out of ideas.
Speaker 7: I think it was largely because and there was there
Speaker 7: were plays that in that scheme that he definitely wants back.
Speaker 7: My my biggest knock against the scheme because as much
Speaker 7: as I praised it against the Browns in rightfully so,
Speaker 7: my biggest knock in a loss like this is the
Speaker 7: decision of how often they ran base versus the sub
Speaker 7: packages that would keep the marveyond overshowing off the field
Speaker 7: that I keep coming back to that. But then as
Speaker 7: kind of a dovetail to that most players did not
Speaker 7: execute well. So if you're Mike Zimmer and you're having
Speaker 7: a combination of well, you're not making the best decisions
Speaker 7: because you should run more sub and get Mary on
Speaker 7: overshow on the field, but also the plays that you
Speaker 7: are calling well that should have worked, the execution is lacking.
Speaker 7: So then, like Isaiah said, you get the Oppenheimer gift. Well,
Speaker 7: he says, like, I don't know what to do next,
Speaker 7: because that was a perfect play call. It should have
Speaker 7: worked well, it didn't work because gap integrity wasn't sound.
Speaker 7: It didn't work because this player or that place player
Speaker 7: missed their key right. So in that aspect, you're just
Speaker 7: getting Michelle for the rest of the game.
Speaker 1: You're just getting mielled well. And that's the thing.
Speaker 4: Execution, alignment, assignment, all of those things were not there yesterday.
Speaker 4: They were not there in the loss against New Orleans.
Speaker 4: And I think there are times where your execution can
Speaker 4: help save a bad play call. But there are times
Speaker 4: where your execution can make a good play call go
Speaker 4: to the side. I want to ask this question real quick.
Speaker 4: We did get an x A tweet from Brian. He said,
Speaker 4: does a loss like this defensively cause the defense to
Speaker 4: lose faith in the scheme and a play.
Speaker 1: Caller, or is it too early for that to be
Speaker 1: the case.
Speaker 5: Too early?
Speaker 3: But there is a question mark, just like the Mario box,
Speaker 3: like like what you got fireflower?
Speaker 5: I don't know yet, but you.
Speaker 1: Guys were playing earlier.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a box. It's over your head. It's over
Speaker 3: your head because not now you're you're you're concerned. I'm
Speaker 3: still listening to you, coach, but I got coach, I
Speaker 3: got questions right.
Speaker 5: And if we go in here this weekend, Dereck Henry
Speaker 5: runs for one to twenty on us.
Speaker 1: Here we go, Yeah, I think it there, It is there.
Speaker 1: It is the coin.
Speaker 7: I mean, you go, Okay, I get overreactions. But it's
Speaker 7: too soon. It's week too Yes, it's week two. It's
Speaker 7: week two. If this were to happen again, not only
Speaker 7: next week, but forty nine ers right, because you have
Speaker 7: to circle that. If it happens against the Philadelphia Eagles
Speaker 7: Detroit Detroit, then okay, that question mark becomes larger and larger.
Speaker 7: But again, it's week two and Mike Zimmer has split
Speaker 7: the difference so far. Set a sensational called a sensational
Speaker 7: game and his players execute it to a sensational level
Speaker 7: against the Browns on the road, against the very talented
Speaker 7: a Marty Cooper led passing attack, and then it went
Speaker 7: to bed the following week. Yep, which version of those
Speaker 7: two things is actually the Mike Zimmer defense in Dallas.
Speaker 7: We won't know for the next several weeks. And that's
Speaker 7: why we're saying it's too early.
Speaker 6: You can't let this performance on the defensive side of
Speaker 6: the football happen again. You cannot know you can and
Speaker 6: if you want to go anywhere in the postseason, this
Speaker 6: cannot happen a single time and at home, don't I mean,
Speaker 6: or just don't expect anything out of the postseason if
Speaker 6: you see a performance like this on the defensive side
Speaker 6: of the ball one more time.
Speaker 3: But is it concerning to you that qu At had
Speaker 3: a relationship and knew what Zimmer does and was able
Speaker 3: to expose that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was their quarterback coach for Zimmer in Minnesota.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, is.
Speaker 3: That concern is because this was a scheme as much
Speaker 3: as it was a player thing. This was OC versus DC. Sure, Yeah,
Speaker 3: it was probably why there was good news is good.
Speaker 7: The good news is is that you know they're not
Speaker 7: twenty nine other head coaches from the Shanahan tree, right,
Speaker 7: so yet not yet that's the good news. So again,
Speaker 7: this is a twelve win team for more losses to come,
Speaker 7: don't know where they come from. That being said, in
Speaker 7: order to hit the next level, in order to not
Speaker 7: only get to the postseason, but get to the conference game,
Speaker 7: to get to the super Bowl, you're going to have
Speaker 7: to beat a Shanahan offense. It might be Kyle himself,
Speaker 7: it might be Lafleur, it might be Kubiak. Again, you're
Speaker 7: going to have to beat it. So that's where the
Speaker 7: can certain comes in.
Speaker 5: Gotta figure it out.
Speaker 3: So I know, we gotta get off the air going
Speaker 3: into next week's game, right, I know we're gonna start
Speaker 3: previewing that here soon. But what is the one thing
Speaker 3: that you're most concerned about? I feel as if needs
Speaker 3: to be addressed before next week's game. From Cowboys Cowboys,
Speaker 3: no matter what side, what third of the game, or
Speaker 3: coaching or whatever.
Speaker 1: M there's a lot of things.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 6: I know, being physical on the defensive line, and you
Speaker 6: got to win the trenches, getting front.
Speaker 7: Seven front seven front on what side of the ball
Speaker 7: defense defense, Front seven. Same, you gotta you can't get
Speaker 7: out physical like that on your front four, and then
Speaker 7: your linebackers you they have to execute better.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 7: And I'd love the accountability that Eric Kendricks took yesterday
Speaker 7: and he was like, you know one thing about Ava Kamaris.
Speaker 7: He will show you a front fit, then go to
Speaker 7: the back, and he'll show you a backfit.
Speaker 1: Then he'ld go to the front quick. Yeah.
Speaker 7: So Kendrick struggled after a maniac game again, but again,
Speaker 7: also help your linebackers out by putting one of the
Speaker 7: more talented ones out there more often in the Overshow
Speaker 7: thank you?
Speaker 1: So front seven, So front seven for you?
Speaker 5: What you say?
Speaker 1: Same? Same?
Speaker 6: Getting pressure with the defensive line that that's my biggest
Speaker 6: key right now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say defensive tackle gap assignment because there
Speaker 4: are a lot of times when you go back and
Speaker 4: look at the film, guys that were supposed to be
Speaker 4: taking on multiple gaps or at least it looked like that. Yeah,
Speaker 4: we're getting washed out by one guy, single team, and
Speaker 4: then it floods your linebackers and they have nowhere to go.
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna say defensive tackles. You got to be
Speaker 4: way better, way better up front. I'm gonna say offensive creativity. Okay,
Speaker 4: I don't disagree with y'all.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying that, if, for whatever reason, you find
Speaker 3: yourself in a game where your defense can't stop offense,
Speaker 3: you have to be able to match. And right now,
Speaker 3: Dallas's offense is not matching.
Speaker 5: Not yet now.
Speaker 4: Yet forty four to nineteen final score. Cowboys fall to
Speaker 4: New Orleans at home. They've got a Week three matchup
Speaker 4: looming with the two Baltimore Raves there what two?
Speaker 5: What happens VP?
Speaker 1: They've got a lot of questions in Baltimore two, just
Speaker 1: just as many questions as if Dallas goes one in You.
Speaker 3: Know what your playoff ouze change to exactly how important
Speaker 3: this is a game for them?
Speaker 1: Very extremely got just wondering. We'll take your calls tomorrow.
Speaker 4: We've got talking Tuesday eight eight eight eight five five
Speaker 4: two two ninety seven. Write it down right now so
