00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 2: just like the Cowboys had a hiccup in week three.

16
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: Whatso did you do there twenty eight to sixteen? Was

17
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 2: that SCRIPTA No, it wasn't. Actually that was off the

18
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 2: rip off the dome. That was off the dome. That's professional.

19
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, things didn't go well in Arizona. Nick Harris landed

20
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 3: at about ten thirty last night. Dude, that's good that

21
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 3: the team got off the plane in Dallas, because it

22
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 3: didn't seem like they got off the plane in Arizona.

23
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: It didn't look like things happened well for the Cowboys.

24
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 2: Just I mean, for the most part, that's what it is.

25
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 3: I mean, this is a bad Arizona team, and the

26
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 3: Cowboys lost to a bad Arizona team.

27
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 2: You don't think so I didn't agree with it last week.

28
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 2: I don't agree with it. Now, what did you? What's

29
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 2: your score prediction?

30
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 7: Though?

31
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I predicted that Dallas would win. But I also

32
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: stated that I felt like this team is a problem, right,

33
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: and so I mean, like, yeah, yeah, so, I mean

34
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: like Arizona's not a bad team. Arizona is a team

35
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 2: that's figuring themselves out.

36
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 8: I think they're an undermanned and depleted cy I.

37
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 2: Agree with that statement, right, But they're not a bad team.

38
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: Dobbs is figuring out this team. He's only been there

39
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: for a little while. The head coach is figuring this

40
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 2: team out. They've only been there for a little while.

41
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 2: Like they have some pieces now they do. They have

42
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 2: the level of talent that Dallas has. Absolutely not. Should

43
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: they lose a Dallas on paper, no, absolutely not, right,

44
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 2: But in terms of some of the things that we

45
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: talked about, last week, they reared their ugly head. Right,

46
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 2: we knew that they could run the ball, We knew

47
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 2: that their style of running was going to cause problems.

48
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 2: We knew that Dobbs had a cannon. We knew these

49
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: things like these. There was there wasn't anything that happened

50
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 2: that we were surprised by. Right, we knew these things.

51
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 2: These problems were prevalent, but Dallas just didn't didn't check

52
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: the boxes to take care of them. Yeah.

53
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, the running game especially was awful. It makes me

54
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 8: wonder if these running game problems still exists. It just

55
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 8: took a while to get exposed again. I mean, one

56
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 8: hundred and eighty two yards given up in the first

57
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 8: half on the ground, most for the franchise since nineteen

58
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 8: ninety one. So yeah, whether it was James Connor, Joshua Dobbs,

59
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 8: even Rondelle Moore got back there and went forty five

60
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 8: yards untouched to the crib. It was tough, man, It

61
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 8: was tough.

62
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: What now, I was just gonna say, just referencing some

63
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 2: of the things that we addressed last week. I mean,

64
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 2: this is why people should tune in, because we try

65
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,399
Speaker 2: to try to send the alert signals out of the back. Yeah,

66
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: like we talked about, I know, at least I did

67
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: specifically about this is the type of running offense. Right,

68
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: that's very philly Ish, Right, I said, it's very philly Ish,

69
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: right in terms of his own read, in terms of

70
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 2: those things and how they're able to take the defensive

71
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: ends out of the game. That's what happens when you

72
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 2: have a quarterback who's capable of running, and he hurts you.

73
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 2: And he made you aware of that very very early

74
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 2: in the game. Right, he lets you know, Hey, I

75
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: can get out on you. So all of a sudden,

76
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 2: now you're like, crap, I can't be as aggressive now.

77
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 2: I have to really after respect the fact that he

78
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 2: can run. So now guess what. I can't pinch and

79
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: restrict the running the running gaps as I intended to,

80
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: because I have to go out here and respect the

81
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: fact that he might boot leg out of it and

82
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 2: keep the ball. Right, I can't just be as aggressive

83
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 2: because they have the zone read and he could pull

84
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: it or he can give it. Either way, I'm creating

85
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 2: seams that's created problem for Dallas in the past, right,

86
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: And that's why we reference that. Like Jalen Hurst the

87
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles They're able to run the ball against Dallas

88
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: in recent times because of that style of offense, and

89
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 2: everybody who has that and has the capability to actually

90
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: run it with their quarterback has been successful against Dallas.

91
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 2: Now do you acknowledge it and you try to address it,

92
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: it doesn't mean that you can stop it. And that's

93
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: where I think Dallas is at right now. They know

94
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 2: that they struggle with that type of offense. We knew

95
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 2: that they struggled with that type of offense, but they

96
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: still couldn't stop it. And that's where I think people

97
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: have a big concern right now.

98
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 3: You talk about rushing yards allowed last season, when of

99
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 3: course it was a big red flag about this Cowboys defense.

100
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 3: Nasty defense, one of the best in the NFL still is,

101
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 3: and yeah, they're going to have a lapse every once

102
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 3: in a while, but run defense has always been a bugaboo.

103
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 3: Two hundred and forty yards was the most they gave

104
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 3: up last year and that was in Week eight against

105
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 3: the Chicago Bears. Running quarterback Yep, justin Fields. A lot

106
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 3: of that came from his legs and the way he

107
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 3: was able to run the football. This would have ranked

108
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 3: second on the list two hundred and twenty two yards

109
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 3: allowed against Arizona. This would have been number two on

110
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 3: a list of a bad run defense last year as

111
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 3: most yards allowed.

112
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 6: So it's not a good thought. Like you talked about, the.

113
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 3: Point of focus throughout the entire offseason was let's sure

114
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 3: up to run defense.

115
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 2: Let's go get a Mazzie Smith.

116
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 3: He's been relatively ineffective, if not completely real ineffective through

117
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 3: the first three weeks of the season.

118
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 6: He's a rookie, He's got fourteen games left. Hopefully more

119
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 6: than that. There's still time for him to make an impact.

120
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 6: He just hasn't yet.

121
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 3: But to this point, is there a red flag still

122
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 3: for this Cowboys defense saying this is still a problem

123
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 3: and it needs to be fixed.

124
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 8: I mean, after yesterday, I don't think there's any other

125
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 8: conclusion than yes. With Joshua Dobbs and James Connor, I mean,

126
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 8: both of those guys were able to find their holes,

127
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 8: and man, they found a lot of yardage in those

128
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 8: holes too, So man, they were flushing out the defensive line.

129
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 8: Michael Parsons was completely flushed out of the game at times.

130
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 8: DeMarcus Lawrence in the same sense, whenever they ran to

131
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 8: his side. I mean, they attacked the middle of that

132
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 8: defense early and often, and it was the whether it

133
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 8: was Jonathan Hankins, Olso Digyezua Mazzi, Smith, Layton vander Esh,

134
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 8: those guys, they just weren't able to get downhill. And

135
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 8: I think that's what eventually led to what that first

136
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 8: half lead looked like. And then trying to climb back

137
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 8: into it with this offense, which I'm sure we'll dive

138
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 8: into the offense a little bit later. I have my

139
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 8: thoughts on that as well, but I think it just

140
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 8: kind of created the perfect storm. It created the perfect

141
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 8: storm of identifying what the problems were and A, it's

142
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 8: still the run defense, and then b there's gotta be

143
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 8: some juice on offense.

144
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I want to save the offense to the

145
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 3: second segment because there is, like Nick just said, there's

146
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 3: a completely different storyline around the offense. But I think

147
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 3: the significant storyline in this game, and probably at the

148
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 3: top of the list, is the fact that the defense collapsed.

149
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 2: With the way that it did.

150
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 3: It looks so good in weeks one and two against

151
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 3: good opponents. I'm not going to discount the Giants yet,

152
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 3: I'm not going to discount.

153
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 2: The Jets yet.

154
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 3: But both of those teams on paper are better than

155
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 3: what this Cardinals team was. But then you turn around

156
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 3: and you say, Okay, the defense has a performance like

157
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 3: they did in Week three, and it doesn't get much easier.

158
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 3: You got the paytriots coming up this upcoming week. You

159
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 3: got Bill Square, you got Bill Belichick, Bill O'Brien running

160
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 3: that offense. Then you got the running back doe of

161
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 3: Ramandre Stevenson and oh this guy that of course wants

162
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 3: to get at your throat and that's Ezekiel Elliott. Those

163
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 3: are the run game coming up this week against New England.

164
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 3: So where does it start defensively? Where do you want

165
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 3: to see the biggest uptick because it doesn't happen it

166
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 3: usually doesn't happen overnight, but you kind of need it

167
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 3: to happen overnight this week.

168
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you got to start today. You know,

169
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 2: everybody all hands on deck, coming in here and watching

170
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 2: film and really having a heart to heart with everybody.

171
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: Everybody gets their great shoes, so all those things happen.

172
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 2: But if it's normally a two hour session and make

173
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 2: it four, right, we really have to get really in

174
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 2: tune and really particular about the things that need to

175
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 2: improve in this in this scheme, and I think that

176
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: there are more advanced rushing defense against base runs. Right,

177
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 2: So when you have a breeze hal in delv Cook

178
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 2: and you were able to shut those guys down, those

179
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 2: guys are lining up and you know where they're going.

180
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: They're coming downhill, right, or they're going just outside the box.

181
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 2: I think that stuff is traditional. They're good with that.

182
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 2: They sued that up, which is awesome. But this this new,

183
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 2: this new little wrinkle, right, or not a new wrinkle, right,

184
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 2: but this that that that option you know, uh version

185
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: concept is just it's uneasy. It's really uneasy, man. And

186
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 2: then you look at it from the passing perspective, and

187
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 2: everybody's gonna pay aten to the rush defense. This dude,

188
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 2: Dops was able to throw for eighty one percent completion rate.

189
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 2: And these weren't These weren't hitches. He was effective. These

190
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 2: were not hitches. You know, there was there was dropped coverages.

191
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,839
Speaker 2: I mean know Jay Lou's getting back into the system,

192
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: but that big play, you know, was jaylu dropping coverage.

193
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 2: You know it was a man and man coverage and

194
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 2: apparently he didn't get the call that he thought it

195
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 2: was three, so he was saying in his own and

196
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 2: the guy ran to the open spot of the field

197
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 2: and was able to I was curious. I haven't been

198
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 2: able to go back and watch that from from what

199
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 2: I understand about the defense. Yes, it was Jay Lou's fault.

200
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 2: I mean, just look at it. Look like a dropping

201
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 2: coverage and the safety throwing his arms up in the air,

202
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: like what the heck kind of gave me a confirmation

203
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 2: of that. Then you look at Darron Blant. He struggled

204
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 2: on the outside. He struggled. You know, we talked about Gilmore,

205
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 2: like Gilmore's good, but Gilmore don't have the juice that

206
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 2: he that he used to have, you know, so like,

207
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 2: are we really this do you really have an expectation

208
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 2: of him to keep up with guys who were four

209
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 2: to three?

210
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 8: Yes to fund Gilmore really struggles with speed. I think

211
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 8: that's starting to become a little bit more prevalent. We

212
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 8: talked about it coming out of the Jets game, just

213
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 8: like Gary Wilson kind of got him a couple of times,

214
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 8: Rondeo morg got him.

215
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, we talked about what what do we say before

216
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 2: speak four to three? Speed across the board? Like, you

217
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 2: have to stay on top of these guys, right. You

218
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 2: can't come up here and press like you've been pressing

219
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 2: everybody else up like give them space, respect it right,

220
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 2: and play downhill And unfortunately just didn't work out that way.

221
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 2: So there's some there was a lot of kings, and

222
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 2: everybody's going to say, well, you know, we're missing guys

223
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 2: on defense, Trayvon was missing on the defense, and offensive

224
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 2: line was in shambos, and yeah, those are all true statements,

225
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 2: but it doesn't mean that you can all of a

226
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 2: sudden just say, hey, we played down you know, and

227
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 2: that's I think that was a statement that I think

228
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 2: everybody's kind of up in arms about right now, that

229
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 2: you know, we played down to our opponent. You can't

230
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,719
Speaker 2: say that you played down to anybody ad until you

231
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 2: played him at least once.

232
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't think with the offensive line struggles that

233
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 8: they had, well excuse me, the offensive line replacements that

234
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 8: they had to make, three out of five starting offensive

235
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 8: linemen having to be replaced, and then Deron Blain having

236
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 8: to fill in for Trayvon Dicks, neither of those things

237
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 8: lost the game yesterday. I think that's the big biggest

238
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 8: takeaway that people need to kind of look at and

239
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 8: see what this loss was caused by. It was the

240
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 8: rush defense in the fact, you know, as we said,

241
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 8: we'll get into the offense later. But yeah, offensive problems

242
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 8: as well, and it was neither of those things. It

243
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 8: was neither of those things.

244
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 3: I really like the way that Babelfenberg put it. He

245
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 3: tweeted it out last night, and I just thought this

246
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 3: was well put.

247
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 2: He said.

248
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 3: He I say it all the time, and I said

249
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 3: it before the game today, not making an excuse for

250
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 3: a sloppy performance. But this is not Alabama playing Middle Tennessee,

251
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 3: where as long and nothing against Middle Tennessee or the

252
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 3: Blue Raiders, where as long as the bus doesn't break down,

253
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 3: they win. Arizona has NFL players, and I have a

254
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 3: source tell me that they also play.

255
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 2: They also pay their coaches. It happens.

256
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 3: I mean, that's part of the NFL is you can't,

257
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 3: like you said, you can't play down to your opponent

258
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 3: until you play them. It certainly, from a talent standpoint,

259
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 3: looks like Dallas played down to their opponent.

260
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 6: And it looks like that, but you also this happens.

261
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 6: It does, and it happens.

262
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 2: The good teams. Sometimes it happens to the great teams.

263
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 2: I've got a couple of instances.

264
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 3: I'll pull it up as i'm talking here, but where

265
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 3: great teams rebound from losses like this, Good teams will

266
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,719
Speaker 3: lose games that they shouldn't and they'll lose them a

267
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 3: couple times throughout a season. Great teams rebound. You go

268
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 3: look at the ninety two, ninety three, and ninety five Cowboys.

269
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 3: They lost to losing teams each of those years. Ninety

270
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 3: two they lost twenty seven to twenty three to a

271
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 3: four and six Rams team. In nineteen ninety three they

272
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 3: lost twenty seven to fourteen to a four and six

273
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 3: Falcons team. In nineteen ninety five they lost twenty four

274
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 3: to seventeen to a four to nine Washington team. I

275
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 3: almost said the old nickname that I shouldn't say anymore.

276
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 3: And then if you want a recent example, you want

277
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 3: something else to throw into the fold. How about the

278
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 3: Kansas City Chiefs last year against they bad Indianapolis Colts team.

279
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 3: Guess when Week three of the NFL season, Week three,

280
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 3: they lost twenty to seventeen on the road to the

281
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 3: Indianapolis Colts, a team that was winless at the time

282
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 3: and the team that of course ended up being right

283
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 3: there at the top of the NFL draft. So there's

284
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 3: there's thought process around, Oh, this team is the same

285
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 3: old team.

286
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 2: Nothing is off the board just yet. You got to

287
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 2: find a way to rebound.

288
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: Though.

289
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 6: If you don't rebound in a good way, then maybe

290
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 6: you are just another team.

291
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 3: This team still has a chance to be great, but

292
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 3: it's how they rebound these next three weeks and really

293
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,719
Speaker 3: tough matchups that's going to really show what this team

294
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 3: is made of.

295
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 8: Yeah, we had a point last week. I believe it

296
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,599
Speaker 8: was you, Kyle was saying, what do you want to

297
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 8: see more from this defense? And what do you want

298
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,599
Speaker 8: to see more from this team as a whole, And

299
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 8: I think we just had consistency. It was like because

300
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 8: last year there were times when they'd go three four

301
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 8: weeks where it was a really rough stretch was Jacksonville Houston,

302
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 8: you know that stretching like the middle to late part

303
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 8: of the season, and it kind of felt like that yesterday.

304
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 8: You know, it kind of felt like to me, it

305
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,719
Speaker 8: felt like they played down in the opponent and that

306
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 8: I mean they had in the locker room after that

307
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 8: they got punched in the mouth. You know that they

308
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 8: didn't expect this. They came out flat and it just

309
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 8: kind of snowballed from there. But yeah, I think there's

310
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 8: a really good opportunity here to rebound. I like that

311
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 8: it came at this point in the season, especially with

312
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 8: the adversity that happened this week with Treyvon Diggs going down,

313
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 8: with the offensive line going down so late in the

314
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 8: week as they did. But it's a really good opportunity

315
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 8: to bounce back. And you have three really good opponents

316
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 8: before the bye week, so you're gonna have to, you know,

317
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 8: put this one behind you quick and get going.

318
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 2: Man.

319
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, look at the schedule coming up for Dallas, because

320
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 3: it's not only New England next week.

321
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 2: Who's coming off of a win.

322
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 3: And I don't think the Patriots are scary by any means,

323
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 3: but they're certainly a formidable opponent and they've got Bill Belichick.

324
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 8: It's a good head coach. It's a really good opportunity

325
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 8: to bounce back.

326
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, And then, of course everybody has already had that

327
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 3: Week five matchup on the road in primetime against San Francisco,

328
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 3: followed by another primetime matchup the week after that against

329
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 3: Los Angeles, Patriots, forty nine Ers, Chargers bye week, and

330
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 3: then you got the Rams and the Eagles right after that.

331
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 2: So it doesn't slow down. It doesn't.

332
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 3: And these are three crucial games. I think you got

333
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 3: to win at least two of the three, if not

334
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 3: all three, if you really want to be in position

335
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 3: to where you want to try and fight for that

336
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 3: number one seed in the NFC, because now it's it's

337
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 3: keeping pace now. Now you've got to find a way

338
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 3: to keep pace with those teams around you, including Philadelphia,

339
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 3: which if we're talking about Philadelphia schemes in Philadelphia look alikes,

340
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 3: they still look like Philadelphia at times, even though they've

341
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 3: had their own fair share of struggles in their two wins.

342
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm not even be honest with you,

343
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 2: I'm not even there yet, But I think this was

344
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 2: the most Philadelphia Ish team that we've that we faced,

345
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 2: simply because their defensive coordinator obviously, and some of the

346
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 2: things that they do offensively, and it showed up. You know,

347
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 2: people could write it off all you want to, but

348
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 2: that's the reality that was. That was my concern going

349
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 2: to this week, was that, hey, they do Philadelphia stuff

350
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 2: on defense, and then they do Philadelphia stuff on Hoffman's

351
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 2: in terms of their their running schemes, So it presented

352
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 2: a problem. People could say, oh, it was just a

353
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 2: one off game or all you want to, but this

354
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 2: style has been a problem and pain in there, but

355
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 2: offensively and defensively.

356
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 3: What what was the feeling like in the locker room afterwards?

357
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 3: Was was it disappointment or was it more of just

358
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 3: an anger or where would you.

359
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 8: Kind of I wouldn't say there was any linger, just

360
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 8: because I know what those those angry losses look like

361
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 8: at times. I would say more so disappointment. Jonathan Hankins

362
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 8: he's he's got a really good personality and he's just

363
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 8: kind of able to, you know, be really personable and

364
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 8: especially in situations like this. And we were able to

365
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 8: talk to him in the locker room after and he

366
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 8: was like, yeah, man, we got punched in the mouth.

367
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 8: You know he kind of he laughed like, not laughing

368
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 8: like and not taking it seriously. You know, it's just

369
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 8: it is what it is. It's an any given Sunday

370
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 8: type moment, and you know, it kind of reared around

371
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 8: it and reminded everybody yesterday. Yesterday kind of gave everybody

372
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 8: a slice of humble pie in a sense. You know,

373
00:15:55,640 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 8: everybody talked about, you know, them being humbled. You know,

374
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 8: Dak Prescott was saying he kind of took it upon himself, saying,

375
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 8: you know, I have to do better. We have to

376
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 8: do better as an offensive group. I think the good

377
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 8: thing is is almost everybody took responsibility yesterday, because I

378
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 8: think there was responsibility to be taken in every position

379
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 8: group yesterday. I think the only position group I can

380
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 8: look at and be like, you know, what they did,

381
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 8: as much as they could have done, was a running game.

382
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 8: And you know, I really liked what they did. But

383
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 8: aside from that, I think there's improvements to be made

384
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 8: across the board.

385
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the offense. Let's talk about some of

386
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 2: the things that went wrong.

387
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 3: Red zone is still a big, glaring red flag for

388
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 3: this Cowboys team and what they could possibly do there?

389
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 3: And is there a lack of trust between play caller

390
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 3: and quarterback. I want you guys to answer that question

391
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 3: when we come back here on Talking Cowboys.

392
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 9: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

393
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 9: Cheatah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

394
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 9: online was reliable and now Todd is trying to be

395
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 9: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

396
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 9: But the good news is Todd has AT and T five.

397
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 9: It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he learned the

398
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 9: best thing to do is stop running and toss her

399
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 9: the backpack with the beef stew at and T five G. Fast, reliable, secure,

400
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 9: It's not complicated.

Speaker 11: Okay, this one's easy, I say, give her a delicious

Speaker 11: a kind soda. Yes, any doctor Pepper flavor will do. Now,

435
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 11: just to remind her that I don't need to be

436
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 11: a real doctor to know that doctor Pepper is the

437
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:45,000

Speaker 3: Fan of the Year, presented by Captain Morgan.

446
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about the offense.

447
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 6: We've already hit the defense.

448
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 3: Defense, for the most part, was the storyline collapsing, giving

449
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 3: up two hundred and twenty two yards on the ground.

450
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 3: Not pretty from that side of the ball. But it

451
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 3: wasn't perfect offensively either. Able to move the ball effectively.

452
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 3: I mean that was not a problem. Cowboys put up

453
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 3: four hundred and sixteen yards of total offense. Dak Prescott

454
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 3: finishes the day twenty five to forty, two hundred and

455
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 3: fifty yards through the year touchdown interception. Like Nick alluded to,

456
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,959
Speaker 3: Tony Pollard twenty three carries one hundred and twenty two

457
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 3: yards didn't have a touchdown, but his first triple digit

458
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 3: performance of the twenty twenty three season.

459
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,719
Speaker 6: What were your overall takeaways.

460
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 3: Nick when it comes to this offense and what you

461
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 3: saw on Sunday, Man, I loved the fact that they

462
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 3: were able the march downfield.

463
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 2: Man.

464
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 8: Third down efficiency was remarkable. Yesterday it felt like nine

465
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 8: of sixteen. Yeah, it felt like at times you didn't

466
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 8: even want to watch first and second down because you

467
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 8: knew third down was where it was going to happen

468
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,719
Speaker 8: by the end of the play. It was like by

469
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 8: the end of the drive. There was one drive specifically

470
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 8: where they drove down the field, battled two penalties, battled

471
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,239
Speaker 8: a sack, and battled three third downs and got all

472
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 8: the way down to the red zone and couldn't score.

473
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 8: And I think that was just the story of the

474
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 8: entire game yesterday, was the fact that they were able

475
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 8: to march down. It didn't matter where they were pinned

476
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 8: down to. They were able to get inside the twenty

477
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,479
Speaker 8: and things just stalled out. So five red zone trips yesterday,

478
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 8: only ten points to show for it. Dak press Got

479
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 8: said it after the game. He's like, the fact that

480
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 8: we couldn't score in the red zone is why we

481
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 8: lost this game. That's the story of this game, period.

482
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 8: So red zone execution. You know, I think, you know,

483
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 8: we may have talked it down in a sense in

484
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 8: the first two weeks, like we had talked about it

485
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 8: being a problem, for sure, but I don't think I

486
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 8: don't think we realized how big of a problem it

487
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 8: could be. And I think it showed its ugly face

488
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 8: yesterday for sure.

489
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 3: I want to go back and clip the actual conversation

490
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 3: that we had, but it was like, Okay, they won

491
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 3: the game against New York. They looked great, but the

492
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 3: red zone was a problem, and you can't go five

493
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 3: or five Brandon Aubrey field goals later and feel like

494
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 3: that's a good thing going against good teams.

495
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 2: I mean, that was ultimately what we said last week.

496
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 3: Did we realize or did we think it would happen

497
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 3: in week three against Arizona and it would rare it's

498
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 3: ugly had immediately?

499
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 2: Probably not, but it was certainly a talking point that

500
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 2: showed up again in week four or excuse me, in

501
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 2: week three. Yeah, I mean, it's it's an issue. First

502
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 2: two weeks, like you said, we tried to write it

503
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 2: off as Okay, they'll figure it out.

504
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 7: You know.

505
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 2: Coach McCarthy's getting used to the system. It's a problem.

506
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 2: It's a problem. It's an official problem. I think week

507
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 2: week one, we're like, nah, hand over the buzzer. Week two,

508
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 2: took the lid off, Week three hitting the buzzer, hitting

509
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 2: the buzzer. Because this is you're being You're too efficient

510
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 2: on offense to get down there and not take advantage

511
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 2: of completely take advantage of the opportunities that you're presenting

512
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 2: for yourself and is dominant as your defense is, you're

513
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 2: still putting them in a bad predicament every time you

514
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 2: go down there and don't capitalize off of the red

515
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 2: zone opportunity. So to the next point, you're moving the ball,

516
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 2: that's awesome, Rushing the ball, throwing the ball, OK, highly effective,

517
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 2: But then you get down there and things are restricted

518
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 2: and you're not making decisions quick enough your play calling.

519
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 2: I like on the interception that Dak through, I get it.

520
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 2: I've I've ran that exact play like a gazillion times

521
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 2: before in practice and in the game, and it's it

522
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 2: wasn't there. It just wasn't there on that particular play

523
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 2: where the ball was supposed to go. It just wasn't there.

524
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 2: So one, Dak, you have to you have to make

525
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 2: the right decision in that particular instance. And then two

526
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 2: you know, I also I say, Dak, we need you

527
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 2: to use your legs. Bro, Yeah, you have to use

528
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 2: your legs man. Like there is a couple of times

529
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 2: down there where when you're facing one on one and

530
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 2: people are going to say, oh, but he's a quarterback.

531
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 9: I'm not.

532
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 2: I can't hear that right, Like as a competitor, I

533
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 2: have one on one and I need five yards, like

534
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 2: not getting me down. That's that's my mentality. I can't

535
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 2: speak for another man, but my mentality offensively was you're

536
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 2: one man's not getting me down. And I want Dak

537
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 2: to get to that point if he's not already, and

538
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,239
Speaker 2: then start utilizing that because it's going to help him.

539
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 2: We talked about it in camp because he was using

540
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 2: his legs in camp thatk wasn't practice at.

541
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 8: Least we saw in the first two weeks.

542
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, we saw it, saw it, But like that

543
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 2: has to be prevalent, Like he has to bring that

544
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 2: aspect to the game because otherwise it in negates what

545
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 2: you're what you're capable of doing offensively, and they won't

546
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 2: respect it. And if they don't respect it, then they

547
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 2: don't have the scheme for it.

548
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think. I think also what plays into this

549
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 8: is they don't have a red zone weapon. Ceedee Lamb

550
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 8: is probably your best red zone weapon, and he's not

551
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 8: the biggest guy in the world. He's not gonna out

552
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 8: physical you. You know, he could probably go up and

553
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 8: out jump you and headtop you a little bit, but

554
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 8: that's not going to be as reliable as you know,

555
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 8: what does has been for this team, or what you

556
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 8: know Witten was for this team, or even Ezekiel Elliott

557
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 8: all the way up until last year. You know, they

558
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 8: don't have a bruise a tight end that can you know,

559
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 8: go up and just out physical you. I love what

560
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 8: Jake Ferguson has actually done in these first three weeks.

561
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 8: Let me say that, like even yesterday there were times

562
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 8: man Ferguson looked good. But they don't have a guy

563
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 8: that can just get in there, get his nose dirty

564
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 8: and go get those yards. And I think that's probably

565
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 8: the root of this issue. But also just very simplistic

566
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 8: play calling that they put out in the open field

567
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 8: trying to do the same thing within close quarters in

568
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 8: the red zone, and you know, when you're running, you

569
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 8: know mesh concepts in the red zone. I just don't

570
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 8: feel like that's the best thing to do in the world.

571
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 2: I mentioned this yesterday on a postgame show, but the

572
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 2: best weapon in the red zone, right. You talked about

573
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 2: the root of the problem. I believe the root of

574
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 2: the problem for the Dallas Cowboys in the red zone

575
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 2: is the inability to run the ball effectively down there.

576
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 2: Because when you're able to run the ball effectively down there,

577
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, all the tinging at placed

578
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 2: gets placed on the run. So then everybody has to

579
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 2: respect it. You have to respect it. If I could

580
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 2: literally line up and I'm gonna say, hey, we're in

581
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 2: a five yard line, We're about to just run through

582
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 2: your face, and we're gonna what's your entire line and

583
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 2: in linebackers back backwards into the end zone, and we're

584
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 2: gonna do this every single time we come down here.

585
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 2: Now play action becomes prevalent. Now I can do a

586
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 2: whole bunch of you know, different releases and everything else

587
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 2: I want to do, right, misdirection and all the other

588
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 2: foolery that you see down in Miami. Like you could

589
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 2: do that because I can line up and literally just

590
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 2: run the ball at you all day long if I

591
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 2: want to, Dallas doesn't possess that. We were excited about

592
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 2: the potential of that because the Tyler Smith coming back

593
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 2: this past week. Tyler Smith comes back and you lose

594
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 2: three other guys.

595
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 8: Honestly, I don't feel like the red zone issues even yesterday,

596
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 8: where the offensive line was was a huge facilitator. Yeah.

597
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 2: No, I'm talking about the confidence to be able to

598
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 2: line up. They move guys off the ball, right. Yesterday

599
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 2: was not a day where you felt like, Okay, you know,

600
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 2: with three replacements and I can feel like I just

601
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 2: move anybody off the ball, regardless of who who I'm playing.

602
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,719
Speaker 2: But when Tyler Smith comes back and you have your

603
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 2: first your five starters for the first time ever, That's

604
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 2: what we were referring to last week on the podcast,

605
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 2: like we felt confident that this running game was gonna

606
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 2: really get going, and that coach McCarthy in the rezone.

607
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 2: Now I'd be like, here you go, I don't care

608
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 2: who has the ball back there, right, We're going to

609
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 2: move you guys off the ball. You're excited about that potential,

610
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 2: and you didn't get a chance to see that because

611
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 2: all of a sudden you're missing your guys.

612
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 3: I'm looking at the play propensity. Is that how you

613
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 3: say propensity? We looked at you for I know I'm

614
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 3: the pronunciation guy. Play propensity is.

615
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 2: I think what it is.

616
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 3: It's on one of the NFL statistic websites, and I'm

617
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 3: looking at it. Percent of passing plays in the red

618
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 3: zone on goal to go scenarios. So whenever there's a

619
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 3: yard marker, so let's say there's one yard to go,

620
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 3: two yards to go, three, et cetera.

621
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 2: All the way down.

622
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 3: It's how many times a play is called in a

623
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 3: certain scenario in yard in goal to go scenarios. For

624
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,360
Speaker 3: the Dallas Cowboys in twenty twenty three, anywhere from two

625
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 3: to six yards, it's one hundred passing plays anywhere from

626
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 3: two to six yards, it's one hundred percent called a pass.

627
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 3: I mean, that is an unbelievable amount of number. The

628
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 3: only one where there's a little bit of a you

629
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 3: in terms of the run the run game is whenever

630
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 3: it's yards to go at one, that's it. That's the

631
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 3: only one where it's where it's one hundred percent run.

632
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 8: So many plays?

633
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 2: Does it say? I was looking for snaps, I.

634
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 3: Can't find snaps yet, but that'll be part of my

635
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 3: weekly research because if that number stands the way that

636
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 3: it looks like here, that's certainly a problem. I think

637
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 3: for the most part, there's a storyline, there's a bit

638
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 3: of a there's a bit of a conversation among Cowboys

639
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 3: fans right now. And I'm asking this question not because

640
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 3: I believe the answer is yes, but because I think

641
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 3: it is a question that needs to be addressed.

642
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 2: But I've had multiple people send it to me.

643
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 3: On Twitter, and whatever, does Mike McCarthy's play calling indicate

644
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 3: that he doesn't trust Dak Prescott specifically in the red

645
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 3: zone play calling.

646
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 6: If I'm looking at those numbers and those numbers are.

647
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 3: Correct based off of this propensity, I'm saying I don't

648
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 3: think it has anything to do with the trust of

649
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 3: Dak Prescott in the red zone.

650
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 8: I will say the offense yesterday was really dumb down.

651
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 8: I don't feel like there were were opportunities to get

652
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 8: guys open downfield. Again, we've talked about how they were

653
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 8: able to march down the field, but when you're you

654
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 8: had those long, methodical four five six minute drives, when

655
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 8: you get down to the red zone, you're gassed, and

656
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 8: I think it was more so just like a gas sense.

657
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 8: You know, I want them to take more shots in

658
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 8: the open field, And I think, does it have to

659
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 8: do with trust as I have to deal with not

660
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 8: having three starters on the offensive line. Who knows, but

661
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 8: I would have liked to see more shots taken downfield

662
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 8: and a little bit more trust in that game, just

663
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 8: because there were opportunities to do that yesterday those of

664
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 8: Mo where Ced Lamb was wide open for about a

665
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 8: forty five fifty yard touchdown. Dek just missed them. But

666
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 8: that was the only opportunity that I saw during the game, Yesterdy,

667
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 8: I was like, oh my god, someone got opened downfield.

668
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 8: You know, I want to see one one point thirty

669
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 8: drive where they go down the field, you know, seventy

670
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 8: five yards in that type of time. But when they

671
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 8: get down to the red zone, it's it's I think

672
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 8: it's more of a gas sense. I don't think there's

673
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 8: a lack of trust in the red zone at all,

674
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 8: just because again, this entire offense was constructed around deck.

675
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 8: They wouldn't have done that if there wasn't trust there.

676
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 8: But it may just be an energy thing.

677
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you think just from being a former quarterback,

678
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 3: being in those situations, in those scuddles, does it do.

679
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 6: How big is a trust? Let's just let's shift the

680
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 6: question this way.

681
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 3: How big is a trust between Mike McCarthy and a

682
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 3: play collar Whenever you are in that situation like that,

683
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy in his quarterback, I should say, I mean,

684
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 3: it's everything.

685
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 2: I don't mean. I don't think it's It just comes

686
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 2: down to decision making, right. I mean, but I think

687
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 2: you're I don't think your confidence varies with your quarterback

688
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 2: based upon where you're at on the field. I don't.

689
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 2: I don't believe that. I think that he has wholehearted trust,

690
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 2: and I think they probably have a relatively good relationship.

691
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 2: They have to head coach, quarterback, head coach, office coordinator.

692
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 2: Those relationships are are are knit tight. They have to

693
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 2: be otherwise you get Chicago. So I don't I don't

694
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 2: foresee that. I mean, the people are going to obviously

695
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 2: look for talking points. I don't think that's an issue.

696
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 2: I just think that they have not been executing. Is

697
00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 2: conditioning an issue?

698
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 3: Whenever you're running away West Coast offense, because kind of

699
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 3: like what Nick was talking about, you're running deep into

700
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 3: down scenarios, you're running third downs, you're converting on those

701
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 3: third downs, you're moving the chains.

702
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 2: The way that this offense was built.

703
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 3: Is there a conditioning issue or is it just based

704
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 3: off of the fact that, I mean, there is not

705
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 3: a whole lot of trust.

706
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 2: In the offense. They said what they ran eighty somewhut

707
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 2: plays last week. They ran seventy five plays this week.

708
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 2: I believe you're getting up run to eighty play echelon

709
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 2: most times, most teams are running sixty plays. So I mean, yeah,

710
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 2: conditioning plays a part in it. But that's again, it's

711
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 2: not the reason why they're not being successful. It's just

712
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 2: not they're just not executing, like you know, I'm not

713
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 2: an excuse guy whatsoever. It's just they just are not

714
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 2: executing and they have to figure it out.

715
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 8: Thirty four minutes and thirty three seconds time of possession yesterday, yeah,

716
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 8: I mean they held the ball, they were doing things

717
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 8: effectively in the open field, and when they got inside

718
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 8: the twenty, it was just who knows.

719
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 3: When the defense gets gashed for big yardage on the

720
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,239
Speaker 3: ground too, I'm sure that helps out a little bit.

721
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 3: It's a little bit happened a couple of times. So

722
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 3: but I I mean, even we talked about it. This

723
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 3: is a offense predicated on moving the chains.

724
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 2: They did just that.

725
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 3: They had twenty six first downs, they were moving the ball,

726
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 3: they were effective on the third down.

727
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 8: We just got sixteen yards is a lot.

728
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 2: It's a good twenty yard. No, that's a good day.

729
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 2: You had a yes Underdard Rusher.

730
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 3: You had a quarterback that threw the ball effectively for

731
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 3: the most part, outside of the interception late.

732
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 2: It just it didn't work out in the red zone.

733
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 3: That's that's the one big knock on this game is

734
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 3: the red zone is glaring at this team and it's

735
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 3: something that has to be figured out.

736
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 6: Speaking of getting figured out, this injury situation wasn't good.

737
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 3: I mean, when we were on the air Friday, we

738
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 3: thought we were having a first time all year, first

739
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 3: time since twenty twenty one, that all five offensive linemen

740
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 3: were available.

741
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 2: That didn't happen.

742
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the injuries and what could happen next

743
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:45,680

Speaker 9: Tod thought it would be secure to jog in the

773
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 9: cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

774
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 9: online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be

775
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 9: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per

776
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,320

778
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,280

Speaker 9: toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and

780

794
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 3: to two and one. They'll look to rebound this week

795
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 3: at home against the New England Patriots.

796
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 6: But let's talk about the injuries going into week four.

797
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 3: Because Friday we sat here on this show, we looked

798
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 3: across the hallway and said, Wow, Tyler Smith looks like

799
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 3: he's on his way back. We're going to get Tyler

800
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 3: Smith back in the fold, starting five offensive linemen for

801
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 3: the first time since twenty twenty one. All those guys,

802
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 3: since Tyler Smith has been drafted, they have not played

803
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 3: a single snap of football where all five guys have

804
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 3: been on the field.

805
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 2: Madness, all five.

806
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 8: We were so close this week and then it just crumbles.

807
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 6: And then it crumbled.

808
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 3: Tyler battish out Zach Martin out, Tyrone Smith pat it up,

809
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 3: worked out beforehand, tried to go, it didn't go out.

810
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 3: YEP three starting offensive line, and Tyler Smith was back

811
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:13,399
Speaker 3: in the fole. It was good to see him back

812
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 3: out there and working. I'm sure he would have liked

813
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 3: to ramp up period instead of being the cornerstone of

814
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 3: the offensive line.

815
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:19,879
Speaker 2: I thought he did a nice job.

816
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 6: We'll have to go back and watch the film a

817
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 6: little bit more, but I think for the most part.

818
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 2: He did did a decent job. The other side was

819
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 2: his neighbor.

820
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 6: His neighbor had a rough day, Chumadga.

821
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 8: I really feel like Chum was a better guard. Is

822
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 8: he's got the he's got the skill set and the

823
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 8: traits that his body just looks like a guard. I

824
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 8: would have liked to have seen Tyler at left tackle

825
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,919
Speaker 8: and move in Chuma at left guard, but we didn't

826
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 8: see that at all yesterday. I will say this offensive line,

827
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 8: once they settled in, they settled in and they did

828
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 8: a really good job job. TJ. Bass had an awesome

829
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,359
Speaker 8: day and I'm really excited to go back and watch

830
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 8: the film on him. But you can't look at this

831
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 8: loss and look at the offensive line and be like, well,

832
00:35:58,360 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 8: you know, maybe if we had all three of our

833
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,479
Speaker 8: guys front. No, it's not the case, not in my opinion. Really,

834
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 8: if the starting five was upfront, they still lose that

835
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 8: game yesterday, Yeah, because it.

836
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 2: Was very problems for the most part. Outside of that.

837
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 3: Do you think the injury news, because it did happen

838
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 3: so late in the week it happened basically Saturday was

839
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 3: when news started kind of surfacing that these guys could

840
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,959
Speaker 3: be out, do you think that deflated the energy because

841
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 3: already they took a hit on Thursday with Trayvon Dicks.

842
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 3: You kind of knew that one. You had a chance

843
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 3: to at least let that sink in and motivate you

844
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 3: going into the week.

845
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 2: But then boom, boom boom up.

846
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 3: Front on the offensive line, all three of those guys

847
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 3: go down. I think that's got to be deflating for anybody,

848
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 3: whether or not you're going to admit to it.

849
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,959
Speaker 8: Yeah, it definitely has to be a lot of people

850
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 8: in the locker room. Yesterday we're talking about the adversity

851
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 8: that they had to overcome, not only during the week,

852
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:45,879
Speaker 8: but late in the week. You know, the Diggs injury

853
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 8: happened Thursday, the be Oddish injury happened Thursday. The Tyron

854
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 8: Smith injury happened Saturday. So yeah, a lot of stuff

855
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 8: that they had to battle in the week. I mean,

856
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 8: they didn't they didn't know that Tyron Smith wouldn't be

857
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,399
Speaker 8: able to go until he worked out on the field

858
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 8: pregame and he was going off the field pre game

859
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,479
Speaker 8: right as you know, players were still coming in because

860
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 8: he had taken the early bus to State Farm Stadium,

861
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 8: and it kind of looked like from that since that

862
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 8: he wasn't going to be able to go, and so

863
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 8: they had to readjust from that moment, which was about

864
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 8: two and a half hours before kickoff, and having that

865
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 8: type of time, I mean, that's tough in preparation when

866
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 8: you could be preparing for other things, when you could

867
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 8: be preparing for you know, as we just saw a

868
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 8: discussed last week, all the different looks that they were

869
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 8: going to see defensively. I mean, that was the things

870
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 8: that they could have prepared on in that sense, and

871
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 8: they weren't able to because they were having to prepare

872
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 8: to start three different guys up.

873
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 2: Frontez crazy. I do believe it had an effect on

874
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 2: the game because the fact Dak was under pressure. Back

875
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 2: was not comfortable yesterday. I don't think that it swayed

876
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 2: the game heavily, but I do believe that it had

877
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 2: an effect on their offense and the things that they

878
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 2: wanted to do offensively because they were under way more

879
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,280
Speaker 2: pressure than they had been in the first two games.

880
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 2: Was unable to sit back on his back leg. We

881
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:06,799
Speaker 2: know you know that that you just can't. You can't

882
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 2: put pressure on him, you can't allow for it, and

883
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 2: you can't also allow for him to throw the ball

884
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 2: forty times.

885
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, but I think the quick game was effective. I

886
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 8: mean what they did it was it was effective and

887
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:17,439
Speaker 8: it should have worked.

888
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 2: Michael Gallup woke up.

889
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 8: Michael Gallup, Man, I would love to get into that

890
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 8: at some point this week.

891
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 2: He was awesome.

892
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 8: He was I mean, a couple of jump balls that

893
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 8: they gave him one on one opportunities on he brought

894
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 8: him down, fighting fracture yardist getting first downs. That was

895
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 8: one of the biggest positive is the fact that wide

896
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 8: receiver three is back.

897
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, and the only target that he didn't catch was the.

898
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 2: One that was in the back of the end zone.

899
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 4: Yeah.

900
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 3: That was a PI that was not called a PI

901
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 3: they picked the flag up. We talked about it in studio.

902
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 3: Berry Church agreed that it.

903
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 2: Wasn't no call. What was your thoughts on Ceedee Lamb

904
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 2: and the resurgence of his body language.

905
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 8: Body language specifically language. I didn't know this was a

906
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 8: talking point with you guys.

907
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 2: Was last year?

908
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 8: Gotcha? So the one where he was missed on the

909
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,800
Speaker 8: forty five to fifty yard touchdown he was. There was

910
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 8: definitely some body language after that because he was open.

911
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 8: I mean it was tough, and he kind of lodged

912
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 8: back to the line a little bit, came in a

913
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:13,399
Speaker 8: little slow, got the call in late, and I think

914
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 8: they had a snap with like two on the clock.

915
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 8: I'm not saying it was a directive to him, but

916
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 8: that was a moment for me, obviously, after the PI

917
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 8: call in the end zone or missed PI call in

918
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 8: the end zone. I don't think that was PI. I

919
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 8: think the gallop one was way closer than the CD

920
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 8: one was. I agree, but yeah, it probably wasn't great.

921
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 8: I would like to see him just kind of be

922
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 8: alpha in those moments and didn't really see that.

923
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, don't don't look for the flag, look for the ball.

924
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, try and try and make a play, especially on

925
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 8: third down. Yeah, especially on third day.

926
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 2: I felt like, just being candid, I feel like he's

927
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 2: took a step back this week in terms of his

928
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 2: how he was carrying himself the leadership role he was

929
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 2: really stepping into. I feel like he went back to

930
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,800
Speaker 2: what he was of last year, and it was not

931
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 2: It wasn't encouraging. I hate it. I hate it seeing

932
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:04,839
Speaker 2: it and a lot of people to feel like that's

933
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 2: not a big, big aspect of the game. Those are

934
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 2: the little things that I, at least I pay attention to.

935
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 2: I know I mentioned it to Kyle and those guys

936
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 2: in the studio yesterday we're watching the game. I was like, oh, oh,

937
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 2: here it goes here, let's go I mean, stump that out.

938
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 2: Don't let that fire get going again, right, you know,

939
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 2: it's like you're doing fireworks, Like hey, stomp that grass

940
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 2: out real quick.

941
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:21,800
Speaker 3: You know.

942
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 2: I hope that that that he sees that and he

943
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 2: self corrects himself to get back on the course that

944
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 2: he was on, because you can't allow that the creep in.

945
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 2: You cannot allow that the creep in. You can be

946
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 2: as frustrated as you want to, but everybody sees that.

947
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 2: I had bad body language, So I'm fully aware of

948
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 2: what that looks like. Most of the time, you're not

949
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 2: even mad about everybody else. You're frustrated with yourself, right,

950
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 2: but it appears as if you're down and out about

951
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 2: everything else that's going on. So he just I hope

952
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 2: that he's more aware of that, or somebody at least

953
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 2: brings that to his attention. I've got to bring it

954
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 2: up to Isaiah at least once a week on the show.

955
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 2: I you got to get that. You got to get

956
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 2: the body language taken care of.

957
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 8: You know, what do we make of Brandon Cook's two

958
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 8: receptions on seven tar It's only seventeen yards yesterday, not

959
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 8: making that like him being the speed option. He should

960
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 8: work in this offense. He should have worked yesterday. Why

961
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 8: didn't he work yesterday? That's that's going to be a

962
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 8: big key of my film.

963
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 2: Watch today. What did you see? Isaiah? I have to

964
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 2: watch more, but I from what I saw, I don't

965
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 2: think that his routes were as crisp as we've seen

966
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 2: him do in the past.

967
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 3: Because you've been very critical of gallups routes of not

968
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 3: being able to get out of the state.

969
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 2: Don't believe that gallup is getting out of his breaks.

970
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 2: I think that what he does well, which we talked

971
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 2: about last week. I said, he still can make the

972
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 2: contested catch. He's still can run straight. Obviously, a slant

973
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 2: route he can run that. But a lot of those

974
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 2: comebacks and curls and a lot of those things, he's

975
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 2: a little slow to come out the breaks. And I

976
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 2: just you know, that is what it is. Cooks is

977
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 2: normally your route guy, and I haven't watched enough of

978
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 2: it yet to be able to make a full conclusion.

979
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 2: But from the some of the routes that I was

980
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 2: paying attention to, he was not very precise with his routes.

981
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 2: And some of those routes you have to be precise with.

982
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 2: I mean, especially the one down the red zone that

983
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 2: Dack through. Would he have been opened even if he

984
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 2: would have ran a precise route. No, But you know

985
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 2: you still have to do your part. Yeah, what did

986
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 2: you think about Cooks and what you saw off the rip?

987
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, as far as the initial watch yesterday from the

988
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 8: back corner of the end zone and over the press,

989
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 8: fox was at State Farm State.

990
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, they took you guys back there, don't they.

991
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, But honestly, it was it was a great time

992
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 8: we had. It was one of the cooler stadiums I've

993
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 8: been to. But again, I'm gonna have to go back

994
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 8: and watch film. But it's just it felt like he

995
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 8: was getting out physical at times and he wasn't able

996
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 8: to get inside off his release. And I think they

997
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 8: were doing a really good job of preventing that. A

998
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 8: couple of times he was and a couple of times

999
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 8: he got receptions. But the fact that he couldn't get

1000
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 8: downfield and break the break the offense open downfield, I

1001
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 8: think that was a really big key indicator. But also

1002
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 8: this offense yesterday wasn't designed to get people open downfield,

1003
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,800
Speaker 8: and that's what him and Gallup do best at times.

1004
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:55,919
Speaker 8: And even CD, I mean CD, I mean he's really

1005
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 8: good in that short intermediate game, but like, these are

1006
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 8: downfield weapons and they weren't playing to those strengths yesterday.

1007
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 8: I understand not wanting to do that with three offensive

1008
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 8: linemen out up front, but those guys settled in.

1009
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:07,359
Speaker 2: By the third fourth quarter.

1010
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 8: Take those shots you're down ten, you know, like take

1011
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:14,320
Speaker 8: those shots, those those five six minute drives. It's not

1012
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 8: going to be effective at the end of the day.

1013
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 8: Let's say Dak ends up scoring on that play that

1014
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 8: he threw the interception on the end zone. Let's say

1015
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 8: they get a touchdown there. Cut it to what that

1016
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,359
Speaker 8: would have been twenty eight twenty three or yeah, twenty

1017
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:26,879
Speaker 8: eight twenty three. There was only three and a half

1018
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 8: four minutes on the clock, and you were working with

1019
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,720
Speaker 8: two timeouts. They had drove, they had taken five minutes

1020
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 8: off the clock driving down the field, and they were

1021
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 8: taking their sweet time in the red zone two. So

1022
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 8: I mean, I just want to see more downfield opportunities

1023
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 8: for a lot of these guys, but especially Brandon Cooks

1024
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 8: because that's what he was brought here to do. We

1025
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,280
Speaker 8: talked about him coming in this season. Oh, a thousand

1026
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 8: yard type guy. You know, he's gotten it with what

1027
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 8: five different teams. You know, this is an opportunity for

1028
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 8: him to do it with the six team. Thirty nine

1029
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 8: yards in three weeks. I understand he didn't play in

1030
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:54,800
Speaker 8: Week two, but thirty nine yards in three weeks. You

1031
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 8: gotta get him open.

1032
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 2: Well. I think it.

1033
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:58,399
Speaker 3: Goes back to what we've talked about with the West

1034
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 3: Coast scheme in general, is the fact that it's predicated

1035
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 3: on playing with the league and the defense setting the tone.

1036
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 3: If the defense doesn't do their job and doesn't set

1037
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 3: the tone, then the offense is going to have a

1038
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 3: tough time playing from behind.

1039
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 2: And we saw that on Sunday.

1040
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 8: So are you saying that the offense cannot win a

1041
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 8: game this year? It's going to have to be the defense?

1042
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 4: Is that?

1043
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,919
Speaker 2: Is that what it is right now? Yeah? Yeah?

1044
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 3: Actually yeah, I mean I will say that because I

1045
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 3: think that the offense can win a game, say what

1046
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 3: you just Monday, But it can't be.

1047
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 6: It's got to be from ahead. You either got to

1048
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 6: go down and score first.

1049
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 3: When you get the ball, you choose to receive or

1050
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 3: whatever the other team defers, you go down, you score.

1051
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 2: Okay, that's the way that the offense can set the tone.

1052
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 2: You've got to do that right off the jump.

1053
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 3: But then from a defensive standpoint, if you're on the

1054
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 3: field first, you can't allow for points first, and then

1055
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 3: a three and out from your offense, and then a

1056
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:48,879
Speaker 3: touchdown with James Connor to make a nine to nothing.

1057
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 3: Even with a miss two point conversion, you're down by

1058
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 3: two scores. Yeah, that's that's the type of.

1059
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 6: Scenario that puts this offense in a pint.

1060
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 2: That's the type of thing that by.

1061
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 3: That point you're down by two score, it's like, okay,

1062
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 3: where are you going to get those two scores. You're

1063
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:03,360
Speaker 3: gonna have to have a turnover, You're gonna have to

1064
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:05,959
Speaker 3: have a stop. Then your defense has to win you games.

1065
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 3: If you're playing from behind, the offense can win you games,

1066
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 3: no doubt about it, but they've got to start ahead

1067
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 3: in order for the offense to win you games. The

1068
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 3: offense is not gonna win a game for you behind.

1069
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 3: It's gonna have to start with your defense, you know.

1070
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 8: And that's the question for Mike McCarthy today, whether it

1071
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 8: be from here anybody else, is what's the reason of

1072
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 8: not going downfield? What was the reason of taking these

1073
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 8: five six minute drives when you were down two possions

1074
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 8: in the second half?

1075
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:28,839
Speaker 2: I bets you is his answer is offensive line.

1076
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm just sure, and that's and that's that's very valid.

1077
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 8: But at the end of the day, you're still down

1078
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 8: two possessions. You got to take those shots, no doubt,

1079
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 8: no doubt.

1080
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 3: All right, real quickly before we get out of here,

1081
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 3: one position group, because this was a complete team loss,

1082
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 3: as were the first two weeks complete team wins. What

1083
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 3: is one position group that has to see a major

1084
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 3: improvement going into week four?

1085
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 2: Linebackers?

1086
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,600
