Speaker 5: I thought you were going to turn around. It was like, actually,

20
00:00:58,440 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 5: that's a good idea. I'm gonna turn back around with

21
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 5: you know what.

22
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 2: I was watching the Giants miss the field goal.

23
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 6: That was a bad one. I was watching it watching

24
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 6: I was kind of I was.

25
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 2: Kind of thinking that he really missed that. Yeah, but

26
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: that just shows you, well, you got a kicker that

27
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 2: makes field goals.

28
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 6: So yeah, life could be worse, could be worse.

29
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 4: Thanks for that positive note, man, I'm over here that

30
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 4: we'll find maybe one or two others throughout the context

31
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 4: of this show.

32
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 3: It was a rough one yesterday for the Cowboys.

33
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 4: There make no mistake about it that that was maybe

34
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 4: the worst loss of the season. That's saying a lot

35
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 4: because that New Orleans game was pretty bad. But yesterday

36
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 4: it looked like Dallas just couldn't figure out what they

37
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 4: were doing and couldn't get on on a roll on

38
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 4: either side of the ball. But let's talk about it.

39
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 4: Cowboys lose forty seven to nine to the Detroit Lions.

40
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 4: To start at the story of the game. Let's go

41
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 4: around the table, Nick, what what for you was a

42
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 4: story of this game?

43
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 6: Physicality, toughness.

44
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 5: I'm going to sound like a broken record here, but

45
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 5: I think all of those issues really compounded in this game.

46
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 5: You go up against a really physical, a really tough

47
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 5: team in Detroit, and you add add in a little

48
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 5: sprinkle of engines that they were looking to enact from

49
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 5: that loss last December, and what happened. A thirty eight

50
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 5: point loss, the worst loss in the history of AT

51
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 5: and T Stadium, the worst loss, and Jerry Jones ownership

52
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 5: of the last however many years it's been I don't

53
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 5: feel like doing thirty five. Now there you go, thank you.

54
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 5: I appreciate that, Brian. But yeah, it was it was

55
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 5: physicality and toughness. And you saw that from the very

56
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 5: first drive until the very last drive, even when the

57
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 5: backups were in the game, it was it was toughness

58
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 5: and uh, they were just outmanned and they were outmatched

59
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 5: physically from the get go. And when you are outmatched

60
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 5: on every single play, this is the results you get.

61
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 5: This is what This is what happens when you don't

62
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 5: when you don't preach physicality, when you don't come into

63
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 5: come into a season trying to be tougher. I think

64
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 5: that's kind of the product of what happened here, and

65
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 5: we're only going to continue to see it throughout the season.

66
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 5: I was able to talk to some players throughout the

67
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 5: locker room access and Dak Prescott about what can you

68
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,399
Speaker 5: do to be more tough U. We can talk about

69
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 5: that as a show goes on. But you know, they're

70
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 5: they're they're looking for a lot of answers right now.

71
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 5: They don't really have them at the moment.

72
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:07,119
Speaker 7: And that's the concerning part it's like what you hear

73
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 7: from them doesn't really give you any sense of hope

74
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 7: as far as like, Okay, this is the plan and

75
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 7: this is what we're going.

76
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 8: To try to work on and get better at. Like

77
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 8: you don't. So that's the difficult.

78
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 7: Part to deal with at the moment, there's no sense

79
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 7: of direction or what you're actually going to be working

80
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 7: on and trying to execute. And we'll talk about the defense.

81
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 7: Obviously not good when you allow forty seven was it

82
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 7: forty seven points? But at the same time, and we

83
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 7: talked about it during the game, Derek, we were looking

84
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 7: at the defense, We're like, okay, well they got what

85
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 7: they got at the moment, but they're out there trying

86
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 7: to fight and make some plays. I think there were

87
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 7: a lot of different players that we still saw some

88
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 7: aggressiveness and some willingness to go in there and do

89
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 7: what they can to help the team. But I can't

90
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 7: say the same on the offense. It's like the offense,

91
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 7: there's really no excuses. I think you look at all

92
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 7: the players and the talent that you have. You do

93
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 7: have talented players, you have people that you can work with,

94
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 7: You have people that you paid money. A lot of

95
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 7: money too. You have players that are healthy, but yet

96
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 7: you cannot score a single touchdown. You cannot scheme these

97
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 7: guys properly to get them to the end zone. And

98
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 7: that's something that's very, very concerning, especially you're heading now

99
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 7: into week seven, you're heading into the bye week training camp.

100
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 7: Talk it's over at this point of the season. You

101
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 7: should have some type of rhythm or something that is

102
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 7: working for you, and you cannot figure out either on

103
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 7: the running game or the passing game.

104
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, this one was going to come down to how

105
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 2: well your offense was going to be able to play.

106
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 2: You were just too in my opinion, too limited to

107
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: what you could do defensively in this game. And Nick,

108
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 2: I like what you're saying about the physicality aspect of it.

109
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: I feel like we might have overrated an offensive line

110
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 2: here for the Dallas Cowboys. Even the best five that

111
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:12,559
Speaker 2: we thought, maybe Cowboy Nation thought as best five really

112
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 2: wasn't your best five. And you're showing like a team

113
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 2: that struggles at right tackle sixty five plays five plays

114
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: might be really bad. You have a Hall of Fame

115
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 2: right guard, it's not a Hall of Fame right guard anymore.

116
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: You have a center that's really young who's trying to

117
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 2: play the position and pick up twist stunts, but he's

118
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 2: kind of confused when that happens, which allows pressure into

119
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 2: the quarterback's face. The All Pro guards now playing left

120
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: tackle because your normal left tackle is so banged up

121
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: he can't go in the game. He was on the

122
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 2: sideline address, but he was so he was banged up

123
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: to the point they really didn't want to start him,

124
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: so they said, okay, let's go with these five that

125
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: finished the Steelers game. He had some problems at tackle

126
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 2: in this game where all of a sudden he steps down,

127
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 2: here comes a free rusher. Dack's now in trouble. Boom,

128
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 2: there's a hit, balls not where it needs to be.

129
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 2: Maybe the ball's high, maybe it's overthrown. But you're you're

130
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 2: dealing with an offensive line that we thought maybe would

131
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 2: be a strength in actuality. They're really average right now,

132
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: they really are. They can't really run the ball, they

133
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 2: can't get any push. The backs are struggling with that themselves.

134
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 2: I know everybody's complaining about the number of carriers that zeke,

135
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 2: but go back and watch the running game. There's really

136
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 2: If you're asking me that, okay, here's a good scheme.

137
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 2: Here's a good scheme thing to do. Nick. Let's take

138
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 2: Tolbert and try and block him on hutchetson when we're

139
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 2: running a play going away and see how that works.

140
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 2: Not very well. You know. Let's try and block Schoonmaker

141
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 2: over here on an all pro guy and see how

142
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 2: that works one on one. Not going to work very well,

143
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 2: by the way, bad idea, Bad idea. Tell you what. Though,

144
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 2: they schemed a nice job with Edie Lamb that first

145
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: catch one handed ketch. But hey, look at this little

146
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: scheme stuff working here. We're gonna switch the routes and

147
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 2: we're gonna drive it and we're gonna clear it.

148
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 6: So after that first drive, I was like, man, we're

149
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 6: in for a shootout. This is gonna happen.

150
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 2: There we go, Yeah, here we go. So to you,

151
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: but that's you know, and you and you and you're

152
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: like you're sitting here thinking it's they're capable. They're capable,

153
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 2: but offensively they're just not good enough. They're not good enough.

154
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 2: They don't run the ball well at times, they don't

155
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 2: pass protect well enough. Uh there receivers, you know, when

156
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 2: when they do have what we call creative routes. I know,

157
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 2: Brad Sham and I get out and go back and

158
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 2: forth about this. I hate the word creativity in ways

159
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 2: of football because I think there's there's things that you know,

160
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 2: you naturally need to do, and you know you can

161
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 2: kind of figure some things out, and they have some

162
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 2: creative plays. If you go back and watch the game,

163
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 2: there'll be some creative plays. Balls behind the receiver, balls

164
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 2: too high over the receiver, quarterbacks got a guy in

165
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: his lap, running back didn't didn't run, hit the right hole.

166
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 2: That's why you lose football games. You know. Defensively, you

167
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 2: did not have the personnel to play against that offense. Nick,

168
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you this, even if you had Parsons, Lawrence, Bland, Carson,

169
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 2: all these guys Orleans, it might have been a nass

170
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 2: kicking too. You know. That's how good that offense is

171
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 2: because they do things to you and they put you

172
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 2: under a lot of stress, you know, and that was

173
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 2: going to be your offense needed to be good enough

174
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 2: to kind of make it a shootout. They couldn't make

175
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: it a shootout. I'm probably because they're probably not good enough.

176
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 5: I'm gona circle back to you on that creativity point,

177
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 5: but I feel like we have bigger things to address.

178
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 4: Well, you know what, I'll say this, I was very

179
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 4: disappointed from the standpoint that yesterday in a game, we

180
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 4: have so many players that you don't have. You're playing

181
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 4: a team as good as this team is, you're playing

182
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 4: at home where the last two outings that you've had,

183
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 4: or the last three outings you've had at home haven't

184
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 4: been very inspiring. The players that are the best players

185
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 4: on the team that you needed most to step up

186
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 4: at moments yesterday failed you. You go down the list

187
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 4: and Dak didn't play this great game, his best game.

188
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 4: You mentioned Martin and I I have throughout his career.

189
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 4: I've loved this player and what he brings to the table.

190
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 3: That's not what we're seeing anymore. He might we're seeing anymore.

191
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you talked him on the side, he might

192
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 2: tell you he goes man, that was a rough one.

193
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that might have been the worst game I've seen

194
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 3: him play.

195
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 4: And I mean to the point where it was consistently

196
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 4: he was giving up pressure. You look at Ferguson and

197
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 4: that that wasn't gonna be an easy catch. But that's

198
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 4: a catch when you're Jake Ferguson, you make that catch.

199
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 2: That was a design play. If you look at it,

200
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 2: they put him on the right side and they kind

201
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 2: of delay him to run, and it's you thought when

202
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 2: he threw it, I thought that's a yolo ball. You

203
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 2: know you only live once. Yeah, I thought that was

204
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 2: a yolo pass. You go back and watch on tape.

205
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 2: It was a design play. Yeah you know it's a

206
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 2: design pass. But yeah, you know you've seen Jacobers.

207
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 4: I've seen to make more differ catches in that dig yesterday,

208
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 4: I don't think played his best football. There were moments

209
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 4: when it was like, what are you? There were opportunities

210
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 4: to make a tackle and he just he wasn't. Then

211
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 4: We've seen that before, and so I just I think

212
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 4: when you look at it, I don't think anybody can

213
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 4: walk away from that game and say, man, I gave

214
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 4: him everything that I had and gave him the best

215
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 4: of what I have, because, yeah, I've seen so many

216
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 4: of these players play so much better football than what

217
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 4: I saw yesterday, And in moments like that, that's when

218
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 4: I need my best players to really step up and

219
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 4: be better than even what they are normally. And that's

220
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 4: just not what they got yesterday, So you didn't give

221
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 4: yourself even a chance when you're playing against a team

222
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 4: that's as good as Detroit is.

223
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 5: To the Traylon Digs point four targets, four receptions for

224
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 5: eighty yards, and a touchdown when targeting Traylon Digs a

225
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 5: perfect passer rating, and then going to the Zach Martin point,

226
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 5: he allowed seven pressures yesterday.

227
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 6: That's a career high.

228
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 2: Yeah.

229
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 6: His previous career high was five.

230
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it would just there were just so many

231
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 4: things where it was like, I need these guys to

232
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 4: be playing at their very best, because I have enough

233
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 4: guys out there who are young, who are inexperienced, who

234
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 4: may not be as good, who I'm gonna have to

235
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 4: already take up for and kind of pull the slack

236
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 4: for them. If your best players aren't playing like your

237
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 4: best players, then you really just don't have a chance

238
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 4: at all. All Right, let's do this, let's take a

239
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 4: quick break. Well, we're gonna come back all over again.

240
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 7: It's like this, I mean, the similarities there offensively is

241
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 7: just like you. You literally and this has been shown

242
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 7: throughout the season so far, like you've had I can't

243
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 7: even remember the first game, I know that was a

244
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 7: bigger score. I can't remember how the offense overall looked.

245
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 2: Like in the Cleveland game. The yeah, second half, it

246
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 2: was a non It was kind of a no show.

247
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 2: They really didn't move the ball all the first half.

248
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 4: But I mean you could say similar things about a

249
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 4: lot of games this year that even when they have

250
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 4: played well, it hasn't been a full game.

251
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 8: You're not doing much of anything.

252
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 7: You got rezone problems, you can't score points, touchdowns, You're

253
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 7: relying on your kicker, which should not be the answer.

254
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 7: And what is the stressful is like you don't see

255
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 7: any type of improvement in that in those areas to

256
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 7: where you're like, Okay, we're getting better here, and like

257
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 7: you can at least talk about it and work with that.

258
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 7: But right now, at this point, it just feels like,

259
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 7: what the heck are we gonna do?

260
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 8: What are we expecting?

261
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 9: Now?

262
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 2: They are who they are? Is Bill Parcells would say,

263
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 2: they are who they are right now?

264
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 3: I mean, that's you can't And I said this last night.

265
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 3: I was talking to my wife.

266
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 4: I was like, I've been giving this offense the benefit

267
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 4: of the doubt. I think that they were still just

268
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 4: as good as they were last year. And I even

269
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 4: forgot what they were before they got past the San

270
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 4: Francisco game, because they were pretty bad before that. And

271
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 4: then they seem to get on a roll and then

272
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 4: we started to see the offense really kind of come

273
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 4: into its own and I gave them the benefit of

274
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 4: the doubt that that's who they still were.

275
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 3: I was like, surely the.

276
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 4: Loss of Tony Pollett wouldn't make that much of a difference,

277
00:12:58,320 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 4: but they haven't really lost a lot of other pieces.

278
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 4: And and right now what we're seeing is that this

279
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 4: offense is not what they were last year.

280
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's all Tony Pollard or.

281
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 6: Not Tyron Smith seeing the effect of Tyrone.

282
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 3: Maybe Tyron.

283
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 4: But also the part about Tyrant is you couldn't allow

284
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 4: on him to be there last year for all all

285
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 4: those games.

286
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, so at least, but at least he was a

287
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 2: he was a he was a major part of it. There.

288
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 2: Now you have questions that left.

289
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 10: Tackle, Yeah, well you got questions all along, you do,

290
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 10: but really think about it is you have questions to

291
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 10: left tackle, but your right guard, as you mentioned, is

292
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 10: his the bar was so high that he's just playing

293
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 10: as a mere mortal right now.

294
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, he's a he's an average guy right now,

295
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 4: which is crazy to say because he's such a great

296
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 4: player and he's been such a great player. It's just

297
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 4: not that's not what yesterday looked like.

298
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 2: For sure.

299
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 4: Are we're gonna take our first break, We'll come back,

300
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 4: We'll dab a little deeper into the offense. Let's talk

301
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 4: about Dak Prescott will be back. Dallas Cowboys dot com Radio.

302
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 11: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

303
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 11: Cheatah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

304
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 11: online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be

305
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 11: faster than this cheetah. They can run eighty miles per

306
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 11: But the good news is Todd has AT and T

307
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 11: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

308
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 11: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

309
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 11: toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and

310
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 11: T five G. Fast, reliable, Secure five.

Speaker 4: brought to you by blockchain dot Com.

367
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 3: All right, let's talk about Dak Prescott.

368
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 4: He was seventeen thirty three fifty two percent completion, one

369
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 4: hundred and seventy eight yards, passing, zero touchdowns, two interceptions,

370
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 4: forty two point two rating.

371
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on how Dak performed?

372
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 6: Yes today, Yeah, really poorly.

373
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 5: We've seen him struggle throughout the course of his career

374
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 5: against against his own type defenses, and I think Detroit

375
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 5: threw a little bit more at him than what he

376
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 5: maybe anticipated. And just for one play that could kind

377
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 5: of sum it all up was the Brian Branch interception.

378
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 5: The first one where you know, he had Dak believing

379
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 5: that he was going to go into account for Jalen

380
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 5: Tolbert on the checkdown and then as soon as that

381
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 5: ball was released, he turned back and be lined to

382
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 5: that ball and he was right there for it. So

383
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 5: you know, that's a ball that Dak's got to push

384
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 5: to the corner. He's got to push it up a

385
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 5: little bit. He's got to trust CD's athleticism a little

386
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 5: bit more. And then on CD's end, he's got to

387
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 5: play defense a little bit better than that. You know.

388
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 5: But I think, all in all, the day that Dak

389
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 5: Prescott had it's one of the worst that I've seen

390
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 5: in person over the course of my last couple of

391
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 5: years covering this team. You know, I think back to

392
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 5: the forty nine ers performance last year, and it was

393
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 5: very similar in the sense that rhythm was never established.

394
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 5: His receivers were just getting fought in the secondary over

395
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 5: and over. And I got to give credits to the officials.

396
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 5: They let them play for the most part. They called

397
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 5: a couple of penalties. But Detroit they brought that physicality

398
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 5: in the secondary as well, and it disrupted the timing.

399
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 5: It disrupted the rhythm of this offense. And when this

400
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 5: offense does not have timing and it does not have rhythm,

401
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 5: it is inserviceable.

402
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 6: And we saw that on full display on Sunday afternoon.

403
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 2: I'm still that word inserviceable. I like that I do too.

404
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 3: It's a good word.

405
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 2: It's an educated guy talking right there.

406
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 6: Sometimes sometimes go ahead.

407
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 2: Brian, Yeah, I think the thing. I think the thing

408
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 2: with Dak is that, to me, there there were opportunities

409
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 2: in this game. Not a lot of them, but man,

410
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,719
Speaker 2: there were some things that they had set up to

411
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 2: try and make it happen. We talked about the past.

412
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 2: The first the first inside passed, the one hand catch

413
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 2: to Lamb. I mean to me, I'm like, there you go,

414
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 2: capable of this stuff, you know, And there was some

415
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 2: things that they did that he's absolutely right about. The branch.

416
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 2: Branch had a couple of interceptions. The one that over

417
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 2: the middle to Brooks was just a really poorly thrown ball.

418
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 2: I mean, he you know, there was some little bit

419
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 2: of pressure, but he was able to get it out.

420
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 2: The pass on the end zone, the one and the

421
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 2: that was intercepted, it's kind of like Dallas, I guarantee

422
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 2: you this is what happened. They probably ran that play

423
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 2: like three times in gold Line period on practicing it,

424
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 2: and every single time they told the corner to bite

425
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 2: on the or the the man in the flat to

426
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 2: bite on the cross did it on their own. Yeah,

427
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 2: well That's what I'm saying, like or yeah, so all

428
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 2: of a sudden, Now it's like, okay, this guy this

429
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 2: you know, it's Brian Branch. He's an instinctive player, and

430
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 2: you're thinking, Okay, this guy's gonna we're gonna play it

431
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 2: like this guy is gonna drive on the drive on

432
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 2: the because they're gonna run a screen. They fake basically

433
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 2: the screen is what they do. So they get Tolbert

434
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: like this is gonna bubble, and then he takes off

435
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 2: and then out and they're thinking that maybe Branch is

436
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 2: gonna but man, he just he's like no. Dak's looking

437
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 2: at CD the whole time coming across. You can see it.

438
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 2: You could see it in his eyes. I mean he's

439
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 2: looking at him, and Branch is like, you're not throwing

440
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 2: this ball that flat. Throw it behind me here, you know.

441
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 2: And that's just a good instinctive play.

442
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 6: Especially on third down too.

443
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

444
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 6: They were never gonna throw it short of the sticks, right.

445
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 2: There, never never were so Yeah. Unfortunately though that, I

446
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 2: think the play caller wasn't particularly good. I don't think

447
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 2: the quarterback was particularly good. I think the line was

448
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 2: particularly good. A lot of pressure there, they didn't they

449
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 2: don't run the ball. So bad day all around, if

450
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 2: you want to point the finger, the quarterback takes the arrows.

451
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 2: He stands up there and has to answer all the questions.

452
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 2: Everybody else kind of, you know, says, we'll look in

453
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 2: the mirror and kind of figure it all out. I

454
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 2: do believe this. They are who they are. You're right,

455
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 2: it has to be almost perfect for them to have

456
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 2: a successful play. I mean they can't. It's it just

457
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 2: sometimes if they're off schedule and all that, the creativity

458
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 2: of it all. I use that word there, but it's

459
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 2: a it was. It was not a good day and

460
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 2: they needed a good day from their offense. And I

461
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 2: think their offense just watching it now through six weeks,

462
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 2: it kind of like I say, it is what it is.

463
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 2: It's it's not good enough.

464
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 8: I just I don't understand it.

465
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 7: We know Dak is better than what he's shown so

466
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 7: far this season and what he showed in this particular game.

467
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 7: I mean we talk about the pressure. Yes, sure there

468
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 7: was a lot of pressure, but there were a lot

469
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 7: of plays that I saw where the pressure wasn't that

470
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 7: bad and he was still making bad decisions where he

471
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 7: was just throwing the ball to who knows who and

472
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 7: then doing who knows why, And we talk about I

473
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 7: know I brought this up after some other game, I

474
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 7: don't remember what, but the Dak's ability to run and

475
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 7: the mobility, and you mentioned the whole ankle thing that

476
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,719
Speaker 7: happened during the off season. Well at this point, I mean,

477
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 7: I don't want to say I don't care, because if

478
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 7: I really hurt, you care.

479
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 8: About, but like do something.

480
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 7: You know, there were instances, There are instances where he

481
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 7: has the ability to kind of just get out of

482
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 7: the pocket and just gain a few more yards while

483
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 7: he figures out the target and throws it. We've seeing

484
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 7: him be able to throw good balls when on the run.

485
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 7: So that's an area of the game that is not

486
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 7: being used at all, not even when they're getting close

487
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 7: to the red zone in that area where I think

488
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 7: it can be very beneficial to them. And that's the

489
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 7: whole element that's been taken away when you're already struggling

490
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 7: without a running game. Overall, I think there are a

491
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 7: lot of elements in the game that I think Mike

492
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,719
Speaker 7: McCarthy is not really utilizing it to his advantage. And

493
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 7: we talk about you mentioned Derek Hunter Lipke, another guy

494
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 7: that we've mentioned on here all the time, did he

495
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 7: do anything yesterday?

496
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 2: He was a sniffer blocker yesterday, a sniffer. Sniffer blocker.

497
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 8: I heard a sniffer in the locker room.

498
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 2: Got here with the knickerbockers, plays right behind the right

499
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 2: behind the line of scrimmage and kind of sniffs out

500
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 2: stuff that's going on there.

501
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 3: They certainly didn't give him the ball, throw.

502
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 2: The ball, or can him the ball.

503
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 3: They did not touch the all. He did not touch

504
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 3: them all.

505
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 2: He was a blocker yesterday.

506
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 7: You guys guys that you can kind of try something

507
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 7: different with and you're not so. I mean, this whole

508
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 7: thing kind of falls back into Mike McCarthy as a

509
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 7: play caller and what he's doing currently. I don't know

510
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 7: much about football, but what I watch without very little knowledge,

511
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 7: compared to what they have over there on that side

512
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 7: of the building and what they get paid for, to me,

513
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 7: it seems like it looks easier from my perspective. Again,

514
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 7: I respect what they're doing, but it just from our

515
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 7: bird's eye point of view, it looks like you have

516
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 7: the tools to create something better and do something that

517
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 7: you're not doing right now, like you're not. Again, I

518
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 7: don't want to bring up Nativity.

519
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 2: But yes, I'm the one with the creativity. It's it's

520
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 2: the right, it's right. But the thing that this the

521
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 2: trade team on offense from binds me. The old Cowboy

522
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 2: teams that win Super Bowls, you know, when you try

523
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 2: and kind of take things away from them, they kind

524
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 2: of figure something else out. They figure out how to

525
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 2: run the ball, or they figure out how to throw

526
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 2: it to the tight end. That play that they designed,

527
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 2: the double you know, the double River. That's that's a

528
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 2: I think that's a play someone was telling me, and

529
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 2: I need to go back and look at this. It's

530
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 2: a play at San Francisco ran against you last year.

531
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 2: Do it the kittle for a touchdown? Same play, you know.

532
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 2: So that's maybe it's like, hmm, maybe we can steal

533
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 2: this play from you know, somebody. And but that's that's

534
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 2: where I think with the Cowboys offensively though, it's it's

535
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 2: just such a struggle. And it's just such a struggle

536
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 2: because of the line struggles, the quarterback struggles at times,

537
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 2: they don't run the ball, as I said, and your

538
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 2: receivers don't always make plays for you, you know. So

539
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 2: that's I mean, it's you just you watch these other

540
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 2: teams that have so much success moving the ball. Detroit's

541
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 2: probad of a bad example because they've got one of

542
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 2: the best lines in football. They got really good young

543
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 2: talent with Williams and Saint Brown as the receivers, Laporta

544
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 2: at that tight end, is Hues and two of the

545
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 2: best backs in the league. You see what they did

546
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 2: to you. They just kept interchanging those guys. Montgomery the

547
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 2: carry and then the next guy, and they went is

548
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 2: back and forth with how they you know, and that's

549
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,360
Speaker 2: everybody's kind of getting on him, like, huh, you got

550
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 2: a running back already and you're drafting one in the

551
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 2: first round. Okay, stupid. They look pretty they look pretty smart.

552
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 6: It's a full now.

553
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 2: Their offensive line is really good.

554
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 6: It's awesome.

555
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 2: Those dudes. They play on their feet. They don't worry

556
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 2: about your down guys, they block. Their tight ends are

557
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 2: good at blocking, you know. They they really they're there.

558
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 2: And they got a really fun play caller. I mean

559
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 2: he he was trying to embarrass you yesterday. He really

560
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 2: was throwing the ball to the tackle and stuff like that.

561
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 2: I mean he's like he's like, you know, who's practicing

562
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 2: plays to like catch it and pitch it to the

563
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 2: your all pro right tackle.

564
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 5: I love big boy touchdown so much. I caught myself

565
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 5: whenever was reaching in.

566
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 2: Get in crazy. But that's what you that's what you're

567
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 2: up against yesterday, you know, and you you look the

568
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 2: opposite of what that And that's probably kind of a

569
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 2: bad example because that's one of the best offenses is

570
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 2: in the league.

571
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 4: Let's take our actually, let's real quick, we get this

572
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 4: one last topic in before we go to break.

573
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 3: Talk about the offensive line. Brian. I know you went

574
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 3: down the line and they.

575
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 4: Had lots of struggles, and what I saw was that

576
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 4: the majority of the struggles seemed to be on the

577
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 4: right side. There were some some things on the left side,

578
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 4: but on the right side, it seemed like every play there.

579
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 3: Was something going on over there. They just didn't seem right.

580
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 3: My question for you is, how do you fix that?

581
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 4: Because you ain't getting rid of Zach this year, which

582
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 4: I'm not saying you should, but that's not changing Steel

583
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 4: is not necessarily I don't know if you've got another

584
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 4: guy you could.

585
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 3: Even put there in place of him. So what other

586
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 3: than them playing better?

587
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 4: Is there anything the Cowboys can do to help the

588
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 4: right side of.

589
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 3: The line.

590
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 6: Man, we're just gonna look at each other the whole

591
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 6: show here.

592
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean to me that it's yeah.

593
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 6: There's one solution.

594
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,360
Speaker 5: There's one solution that's been tossed around on by fans,

595
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 5: and it's played right tack guid in a right tackle

596
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 5: and I I think you could do that if you

597
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 5: didn't have so much investment wrapped up in terrence.

598
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 17: But is it?

599
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 4: But my question would be for them that may be

600
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 4: a long term solution could be. But do you think

601
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 4: that after not playing right tackle through from training camp

602
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 4: and he get played in college, do you think that

603
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 4: he's going to be any better at right tackle than

604
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 4: maybe what we've seen already at left tackle, Because at

605
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 4: left tackle, we know he's got a lot of development

606
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 4: to do. So are you just changing out one problem

607
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 4: for another potential problem if you put him at right tack.

608
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 5: I think it's also maximizing Tyler Smith at left tackle

609
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 5: if you feel comfortable with what he's done there, and

610
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 5: then it's putting Tyler Gotten back into a situation of comfortability.

611
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 5: Even though he was protecting a blindsided Oklahoma and there

612
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 5: was still aspects that he was able to carry over

613
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 5: to the left side. I think putting him back on

614
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 5: the right side could help in the long run, but

615
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 5: I don't see this team doing that. I feel like

616
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 5: it's a wasted conversation. Honestly, they are going to keep

617
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 5: tern Steel there and ride it out with him. Yeah, Honestly,

618
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 5: if you look at how Terrence Steel started the season

619
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 5: last year and how he finished the year last year,

620
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 5: those last six seven games that Terrence Steel had some

621
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 5: of the best play he's had in his entire career.

622
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 5: And I think they still feel like that that can

623
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 5: come rear rear back around through the back half of

624
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 5: the season.

625
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 2: I think it's San Francisco, you're gonna see guiding a

626
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 2: left tackle, stell A Smith back at left guard.

627
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, I agree, I don't.

628
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 2: I don't think they're going to tinker with this thing anymore.

629
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 2: Like I said, the you're just not good enough up

630
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 2: front right now. You just you know, you've got to

631
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 2: get Guiden experience. You got to get BB experience. Smith

632
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 2: will be fine, Martin, you you ride that. That's that's

633
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 2: a Hall of Fame player over there. It's kind of

634
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,719
Speaker 2: like the same problems you talked about with Tyron Smith.

635
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 2: You know, you're like, Oh, I don't know. It's some

636
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 2: days it's great, some days it maybe not. But you know,

637
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 2: and then you've got to figure out the right tackle stuff.

638
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 2: I just feel like that. To me, it's it's asking

639
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 2: a lot and they're they're not going to do anything

640
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 2: about it. They they tried. You know, their future is

641
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 2: with BB at center and Guidance at left tackle, and

642
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 2: I think that's how they're going to continue to play.

643
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 3: Let's take our final break.

644
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,959
Speaker 4: We will come back and we'll talk a little bit

645
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 4: about the defensive side of the ball.

646
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 3: Not much that was surprising about.

647
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 4: Yesterday, but there are some points that we need to

648
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 4: kind of figure out and then talk about a couple

649
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 4: of players on that side of the ball. We'll back

Speaker 11: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

701
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 11: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

702
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,000

Speaker 4: Final segment of the break line from the SWBC Mortgage

711
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 4: studios at the Star were presented by LG.

712
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the defensive side of the ball.

713
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 4: Yesterday, man, they continued the struggles with stopping the run.

714
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 3: They allowed Lions to.

715
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,719
Speaker 4: Pick up on thirty six rushes. They picked up one

716
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 4: hundred and eighty four yards running a rushing five point

717
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 4: one average two touchdowns.

718
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 3: To be honest with you, there was a point.

719
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 4: Early in the game, maybe second quarter, when I was like,

720
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 4: it almost feels like they're playing with them, because if

721
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 4: they just decided they were just going to line up

722
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 4: and run every down they could, the Cowboys were really

723
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 4: not stopping them from running. They were just doing trick

724
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 4: plays and running all kinds of stuff around there. It

725
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 4: just seems like they were kind of toying with them

726
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 4: a little bit, But the run defense is where it

727
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 4: all starts, and I don't think it was really existent yesterday.

728
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 4: And I think that obviously you look at those numbers

729
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 4: and you say that if you start breaking it down,

730
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 4: where do you guys think was the biggest point of

731
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 4: failure for the defense from the standpoint zopping the run yesterday?

732
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 5: I think getting blown off the ball line of scrimmage

733
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 5: was just dominated by Detroit and that was on both

734
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 5: sides of the ball. Before talking defensively specifically, I was

735
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 5: able to kind of see some all twenty two this

736
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 5: morning and it just kind of reaffirmed my thoughts that

737
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 5: I saw yesterday. I mean, Golston wasn't horrible, and he

738
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 5: was still bad and he was probably your best player

739
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 5: on the defensive line yesterday. Mazzie Smith just reverted back

740
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 5: to what we saw against the Saints and the Ravens.

741
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 5: You could say the same for the rest of the

742
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 5: interior guys, Lynval, Joseph Carlos, Watkins when he had some opportunities,

743
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 5: kJ Henry carl Lawson. I mean, none of those guys

744
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 5: generated anything in the run game. And so what does

745
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 5: that do makes life more difficult for that second level.

746
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 5: I mean, fortunately you saw a couple of plays where

747
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 5: de Mont Clark was able to kind of be line

748
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 5: in and find the run gap, and Marvin Overshown did

749
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 5: the same thing. But for the large majority of the game,

750
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 5: the second level was having to play multiple gaps at once,

751
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 5: and then that's just asking your defense to do too

752
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 5: much at that point, and then once they get into

753
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 5: the secondary, nobody in your secondary can make a tackle.

754
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 6: So that's when you saw.

755
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 5: Davidlgomery throwing guys around, and my goodness, Trayvon Diggs, I

756
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 5: when it comes to tackling, specifically in the run game,

757
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 5: I don't he's had some bad games.

758
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 6: I don't think there was one worse than this.

759
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 5: I just I can't think of one off the top

760
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 5: of my head where he just wasn't he wasn't trying

761
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 5: to tackle guys. And whenever that happens, from getting blown

762
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 5: off the ball to second level having to play multiple

763
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 5: gaps at once, and then they get into the secondary

764
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 5: and those guys are like, I'm good, that's what happens.

765
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 5: One hundred and eighty three yards and however many carries.

766
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 5: I mean, that's that's what happens.

767
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think if you talk about the secondary. I

768
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 2: think Wilson was fine. I think I think Lewis was

769
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 2: one of your better players when you look at that.

770
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 2: I will say this though about the secondary, though, that

771
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 2: they're man. This team will will stretch you out with

772
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 2: the routes they run and how they replace each other

773
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 2: three to one side, one to the middle. You know,

774
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 2: they do a lot of things, and you know it

775
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 2: was it was a difficult day for them in the

776
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 2: backd and I think they messed with Hooker. I think

777
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 2: they messed with with Digs, you know, Ao sometimes as well.

778
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just to show the biggest problem yesterday

779
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 2: with you defensively, and Nick's not wrong about the physicality.

780
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 2: Those young linebackers had a hard day. They had a

781
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 2: hard day because of all the things that's going on.

782
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 2: The play action, the fits, the routes behind them, the

783
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 2: routes to the flat. You know, everything was messing with

784
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 2: them the whole day yesterday. And you know you could

785
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 2: see that daimone Clark just clearly does not look like

786
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 2: he knows where he needs to be or where he

787
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 2: needs to fit. You know, all of a sudden, I

788
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 2: mean I think they've dropped one ball this year. I

789
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 2: think that the Williams inside breaking route was the first

790
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 2: drop that they had that was clear. Yeah, and you

791
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 2: know what they did. They came back and ran the

792
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 2: same play and then they hit it. You know, they're like,

793
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 2: damn it, we got to get this guy back going. Yeah.

794
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 2: Very next they threw the ball behind but on the

795
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,720
Speaker 2: first one on the drop, you see DeMont Clark looking

796
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 2: around like WHOA, what's going on? And then the route

797
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 2: breaks behind him and it was it was a it

798
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 2: was a really rough day for a lot of young

799
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 2: players yesterday. And you know, but you're, like I said,

800
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 2: even if you had all your starters, that was going

801
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 2: to be a different a difficult game. Maybe you had

802
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 2: a game like last year, maybe it'd been a little

803
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 2: bit closer. But man, that the Lions knew what they

804
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 2: wanted to do running the football. Their offensive line is

805
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 2: really good at playing on their feet. They aren't they're

806
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 2: not on the ground. The way that they block, the

807
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 2: way they get the second level, the way they cut

808
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 2: you off, and they make it very very difficult for

809
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 2: anybody to have to move the ball on him that way.

810
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 7: Honestly, I'm just surprised we had enough bodies to even

811
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 7: be at a game like being half players on the

812
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 7: field because at this rate, uh, And we'll hear the

813
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 7: report later on on Leu Fou. We know he got

814
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 7: out of the game, that he finished the game, but

815
00:36:58,040 --> 00:36:59,879
Speaker 7: walking out of the locker room, I mean his whole

816
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 7: sholder was wrapped up in bandages and stuff. So that's

817
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 7: another guy that's banged up. Luckily, by week starts now

818
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 7: and they'll have time to rest and get some of

819
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 7: those guys back. But the concerning part is here, even

820
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 7: when the starters come back, how is this defense like that?

821
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 7: It still doesn't promise you that this defense is gonna

822
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 7: be able to take the next step and be better

823
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 7: than what they've been. They were already struggling with the starters,

824
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 7: especially in the run defense. So right now, honestly, I

825
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 7: just feel like a fool I've been. I feel like

826
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 7: I've been. I don't know what the heck I saw

827
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 7: during training camp where I really bought into what Mike

828
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 7: Zimmer was selling and trying to implement with this defense.

829
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 7: I was very, very excited, and honestly, the thing that

830
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 7: I was looking forward to the most was this defense

831
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 7: and what he was going to do with it.

832
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 8: And right now.

833
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 7: There's nothing exciting about it, and and the kind of

834
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 7: job he's done at the moment. I don't know what

835
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 7: you guys think about the offense. The defensive coordinator.

836
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 2: Yeah currently, Yeah, Mike is and I really believed that

837
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 2: it was going to be buttoned up. It hadn't been

838
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 2: buttoned up. You still see the problems, the busts and

839
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 2: stuff that that they're dealing with. And we've always kind

840
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 2: of talked about with Mike playing with and wanting to

841
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 2: play with guys they're smart players and stuff like that,

842
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 2: that maybe some of those big plays that we'd seen

843
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 2: in the Green Bay with Dan Quinn in that group

844
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 2: when it was just guys running wide open, would not

845
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 2: be that case. Mike's Mike's reputation, Mike as a coach

846
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 2: was as a button up guy. This is not a

847
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 2: buttoned up defense. It's a defense. They're playing a lot

848
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 2: of young guys. Not an excuse. Mike will tell you

849
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 2: that's not an excuse. Got to coach them, got to

850
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 2: get them ready, got to help them make plays. They're

851
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 2: not making plays. And you know, as a as a unit,

852
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 2: coaches included, Uh, they are really really struggling with it,

853
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 2: with it with their guys now because they got a

854
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 2: lot of young guys. There are a lot of young

855
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 2: guys are making mistakes and Mike might be a little

856
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,959
Speaker 2: handicapped aways calling his defenses, but that's on him too.

857
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 2: They I like you, Amber, I was excited about them

858
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 2: not giving up big, big plays, but those explosive plays

859
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 2: have been especially the home games have just been it's

860
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 2: been embarrassing. To be honest with you, Well.

861
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 4: I just honestly, I do put some of it. Obviously,

862
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:26,479
Speaker 4: the coordinator has to take.

863
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 2: A passion to take the blame. But the fact a matter.

864
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:30,959
Speaker 4: Is, like I think, it all starts with the fact

865
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 4: that if you are a defense that cannot stop the run,

866
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 4: and quite frankly, if you cannot on the front line,

867
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 4: if you cannot do the job of number one, keeping

868
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 4: offensive linemen off your linebackers, of being able to hold

869
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 4: up at the point of attack, of being able to

870
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,359
Speaker 4: set the edge, all these basic things you learn about

871
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 4: playing defense at an early age when you play football.

872
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 4: If they're not able to do those things successfully and consistently,

873
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 4: the defense overall is going to hurt.

874
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 3: Like that.

875
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 4: You just it all compounds and the way offenses can

876
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 4: get to all the other things is if they've got

877
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 4: you to where you can't stop the run, then everything

878
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 4: else is open to them and you have no shot.

879
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 4: And I think that's where it starts and ends for me.

880
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 4: And really that goes down to the personnel you have upfront.

881
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 4: Maybe losing all those guys that you lost at the

882
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 4: defensive end position, and I'm talking going back to free agency,

883
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 4: maybe that affected you. Maybe having your first round pick

884
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 4: from a couple of years ago not being able to

885
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 4: step up and consistently be what a first round pick

886
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 4: should be is affecting you. I think that's where I

887
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 4: start and finish this thing, and for me, you know,

888
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 4: everything else is going to go from that. And I'm

889
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 4: not sure that's a fair deck to give someone like

890
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 4: Mike Zimmer, but it is what it is. He accepted it,

891
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 4: and when you accept the challenge, you got to also

892
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 4: check the blame if it doesn't work. But I will

893
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 4: say I think a lot of this has to do

894
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 4: with them just not having the personnel necessarily to be

895
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:47,879
Speaker 4: able to.

896
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 3: Stop the run right now. And that's that's just a

897
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 3: fact in my opinion.

898
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 2: It goes back to Nick's physicality part of it too,

899
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 2: though stopping the run, being physical, all those things.

900
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 5: I asked Dak last night and his press or what

901
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 5: can you do to be a more physical team? Like

902
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 5: within the gap of a season? You know, how can

903
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 5: you just implum withdraw?

904
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly.

905
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,320
Speaker 5: I asked Jordan Lewis and de Montclark the same things,

906
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 5: but I think Dak probably gave me the better answer,

907
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 5: and he was saying, we have to practice harder, we

908
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 5: have to prepare harder. And I think whenever you look

909
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 5: at a team that has had multiple practice injuries over

910
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 5: the course of the last two years, where do you

911
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 5: find the balance? You know, where do you find the

912
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,839
Speaker 5: balance between increases and physicality but also understanding that your

913
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 5: team is one more injury away from being in that

914
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 5: top ten of that draft that.

915
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 6: We were talking about, Brian. So, I mean, it's a

916
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 6: tough juggle.

917
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,800
Speaker 5: It's something I would like to ask Mike McCarthy today,

918
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 5: just being like, how how do you balance wanting to

919
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 5: increase physicality without sacrificing more depth on your team? So

920
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 5: I think I truly believe it's just ingrained in the

921
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 5: culture of what you have instituted over the course of

922
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 5: the last two and a half years. Because when Mike

923
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 5: McCarthy first got here. I don't feel like that was

924
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 5: necessarily a problem. Like even in that twenty twenty season

925
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,240
Speaker 5: when they were just getting blown out, there was toughness

926
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 5: in some of those games. There was more toughness shown

927
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 5: in a couple of those games. And we're today, which

928
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 5: is wild to say, looking at twenty twenty one, twenty

929
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 5: twenty two, I feel like those were the best chances

930
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 5: here in the MacCarthy era. You look, last year, physicality,

931
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,840
Speaker 5: toughness just what nosedive and this year it's it's just

932
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,360
Speaker 5: going deeper into the earth.

933
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 4: So and what's really interesting is you can see, I

934
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 4: mean you literally can see what Dan Campbell brought to

935
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 4: that team from this from the moment he stepped in

936
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 4: the building. When it comes to physical the Detroit Lions

937
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 4: will never considered the most physical or one of the

938
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 4: more physical teams in the NFL. He walked in and

939
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 4: from day one was like, if nothing else, we're going

940
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 4: to be tough and physical, Like we're gonna be physical.

941
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 2: And we all laughed at him too.

942
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, And now you look at that team and they

943
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 4: have built that team. He has literally built that They

944
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 4: have built that team. I shouldn't just say him. They

945
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,439
Speaker 4: have built that team to whereas you talked about Brian,

946
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 4: yet they got a bunch of skill guys. Yeah, but

947
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 4: even the skill guys are a little nasty, like they

948
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 4: got They play with a certain level of aggression. That

949
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,879
Speaker 4: is you can point back to the coach coming in.

950
00:42:58,120 --> 00:42:58,800
Speaker 3: That's all about.

951
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 4: I think the coach bringing that mentality to that team,

952
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 4: and that's how they play. And if you're gonna play them,

953
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 4: you better match that because if you don't match it,

954
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:07,879
Speaker 4: you're not gonna you're not gonna succeed against them.

955
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 8: Let's bringing David Coggins.

956
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:15,319
Speaker 7: Let's hire Doggains bringing him and have some you know,

957
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 7: because that's more.

958
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,879
Speaker 3: Than physical, that's crazy. Like Davidgins, he's on a whole

959
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 3: different level though.

960
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:22,800
Speaker 8: He'll push you to your limit.

961
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 7: I mean, all I have to do is listen to him,

962
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 7: and I think I can run through a wall. So

963
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 7: I don't know something I'm just saying some kind of inspiration,

964
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 7: motivational speaker or something.

965
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 4: I even wonder to some degree, I wonder if if

966
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 4: he were being honest, Like not to say he's not

967
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,799
Speaker 4: being honest, but obviously coaches have certain things that they

968
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 4: will say publicly and not. I wonder if if Mike

969
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 4: really believes physicality is their problem, you know, I.

970
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 3: Wonder, I don't. I don't, but I don't know that.

971
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 4: And I know how football guys sometimes can say, no,

972
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,399
Speaker 4: it's really about execution, it's really about we just gotta

973
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:56,359
Speaker 4: This guy's got to do his job. This guy's got

974
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 4: to do his job. I wonder if he would really

975
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,040
Speaker 4: think that physicality.

976
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 2: Is is the issue. He thinks not getting turnovers is

977
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 2: a big thing, and over too much.

978
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 3: He thinks he had five yesterday.

979
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 2: I think the biggest problem. He probably feels like turning

980
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 2: the ball over is a huge problem for him, and

981
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 2: not getting any turnovers that that seems like to be

982
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 2: his focus right now.

983
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 4: All right, appreciate you guys joining us. We'll be back tomorrow.
