00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 9: thing exactly how it needed to be.

24
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,680

26
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 8: There were lots of things that happened last night that

27
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 8: if you listened to the Break, you would have been

28
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 8: well prepared for.

29
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 10: Starting with very proud starting with the weather. We said

30
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 10: this all week last week. We were like, this is

31
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 10: going to be a problem, and sure enough it was.

32
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 10: I guess not a problem because we have to end

33
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 10: up staying through the night, but it certainly changed things

34
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 10: about our night last night and about how much sleep

35
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 10: we had for this morning.

36
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 9: Right. Yeah, it was a problem for those who had

37
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 9: to do a pregame show, right, you did an hour

38
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 9: and a half.

39
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 3: Expect the radio.

40
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 9: I learned what rain delay radio was all about. My

41
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 9: guys at the rail breaks, my guys at the Rangers

42
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 9: reached out. They said, hey, a nice showing that rain

43
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 9: delay radio. And I'm like, oh, okay, well thanks, that's

44
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:49,639
Speaker 9: what it's all about.

45
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 3: So I can't have gay air.

46
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's funny. I mean, hey, it's a good deal though,

47
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 9: great win, you know with all that all that went

48
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 9: down last night and with delays and the problems and

49
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 9: stuff like that, you know, losing guys, I mean, it's

50
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 9: that's that's that's as good as it gets right there.

51
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, thank you to the fans. We had a lot

52
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 5: of listeners that showed up to the game. Yeah, so

53
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 5: that was I did not did.

54
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 8: You No, I don't ever sign Okay, you get the

55
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 8: calls like, hey, Emmer, save me.

56
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 3: Sure no, but okay.

57
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 8: So let's start with this. What do you say the

58
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 8: big picture storyline? Obviously the weather was a part of

59
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 8: the storyline, but what was the big picture takeaway? I

60
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 8: guess from this game if we remember, you know, five

61
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 8: six weeks from now, how are we going to remember

62
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 8: this game?

63
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 9: I think Dallas's ability to run the football in that

64
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 9: game really paid dividends to you know, how they made

65
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 9: Mike had some play calls that were the third and

66
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 9: sixth flip I know you and I were talking about

67
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 9: in the pre show, and you know, he there was

68
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 9: some really he found some balance when he needed to

69
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 9: find some balance, and you know that, and their their

70
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 9: their scheme up front was really really good. Unfortunately, you

71
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 9: know with Guyton he gets injured, do you run the

72
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 9: ball better? Yeah? But they also lost her big too.

73
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 9: That was a big loss for them. So I mean,

74
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 9: this was a game of attrition in a lot of

75
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 9: different ways. And and so you know, move, I guarantee

76
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 9: you that that Tyler Smith did not take one rep

77
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 9: at left tackle this week. They made the determination that hey,

78
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 9: if we have an injury, this is the way they

79
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 9: go and I give him credit for that. He was

80
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 9: ready to play. TJ Bass was ready to play. You know, total,

81
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 9: there were a lot of guys just go down through

82
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 9: the roster. Tell me if you had in your in

83
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 9: your uh in your bingo card this week, did you

84
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 9: have a span four to two catches for twenty yards? Nope, nope.

85
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 9: That's what you got to have when you go on

86
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 9: the road and win games like this, you need guys

87
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 9: to play at a level that you didn't think that

88
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,559
Speaker 9: they could play at. And I think that's the overriding

89
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 9: thing to me was of how many guys stepped up

90
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 9: when they absolutely had to have him in that football game.

91
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 5: Well, I thought that we're gonna lose, picked them to lose.

92
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 5: I mean they were close, yeah, but they were close

93
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 5: to losing that game, very very.

94
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 9: Close up to Giants.

95
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, but all in all, I mean and counting

96
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 5: all the different things that they had working against them,

97
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 5: mainly and focusing on the injuries, they were able to

98
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 5: keep fighting and get that win. It came down very close.

99
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 5: But my thing is you cannot keep playing this way

100
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 5: and expect to win football games for the rest of

101
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 5: the season. And the teams that you're about to come

102
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 5: up against, and a lot of it. We see the

103
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 5: why not, Brian, why not?

104
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 9: Why not?

105
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 5: You're gonna pay You're gonna play better teams than that.

106
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 9: For sure, and I think you.

107
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 5: Know they absolutely are. They absolutely are. But the Cowboys,

108
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 5: a lot of the things that they were doing were

109
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 5: self inflicted mistake and that's where I'm being critical of

110
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 5: That's where I'm being very critical of them. It's like

111
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 5: I'm cleaning up because we saw it towards the end

112
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 5: of the game that would have cost them the game,

113
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 5: everything that led up to that, and I just think

114
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 5: they obviously need to just play it better, a cleaner game,

115
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 5: limit the mistakes because we see how they get the

116
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 5: ball rolling and then boom they have to take steps

117
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 5: back and go back and then it's like okay, oh

118
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 5: here we go here another mistake. All right, let's go

119
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 5: back again. So it's those things that you know the

120
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 5: talent is there, you know they can make it happen,

121
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 5: but just be more disciplined, execute things better, and clean

122
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 5: up the mistakes.

123
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 9: We talk about that every week. That's an every week thing.

124
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 9: Its team might be what it is, And Mike talks

125
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 9: about the penalties every week. You know. Unfortunately, that's one

126
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 9: of those that's one of those things that we talk about

127
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,119
Speaker 9: it every week, and I'm you bring it up every week.

128
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 9: You know. Got to play cleaner, Gotta do this, gotta

129
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 9: do you know, Yeah, they have to play cleaner. I

130
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 9: think that to me, you know, the penolice. I'm not

131
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 9: a fan of Sean Hockley, the official. I'm just not.

132
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 9: And and I understand going in the game sometimes you're

133
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 9: going to get I thought it was a BS call.

134
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 9: The call on Wheat, I thought, you know, and Wheat

135
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 9: I thought, you know, I thought that Hockley and the

136
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 9: umpire standing behind just see the quarterback's head snap and

137
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 9: they think that he got hit in the face. He didn't.

138
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 9: He got hit in the chest in the area. And

139
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 9: and it's a terrible call, and it gives them momentum

140
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 9: and it takes the quarterback out. But what do they do.

141
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 9: They drive the ball down the field, you know, and

142
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 9: get and get that that uh that call. Now the

143
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 9: undisciplined stuff, you know when when your guard, you know,

144
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 9: your backup guards in the game and he gets an

145
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 9: unsports my conduct penalty for being an idiot, you know

146
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 9: of you know, initiating contact. Yeah, that's that's things you

147
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 9: absolutely have to have to correct. But to me, I

148
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 9: there's things I just don't think that they're ever going

149
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 9: to get better at now. The turnover part of it, though,

150
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 9: I I I have a theory about what I think

151
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 9: happened on the Dak's interception to to to Lamb in

152
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 9: the corner. I have a I have a feeling. Now

153
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 9: if you say what I'm if you hear what I'm

154
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 9: about to say, you're gonna say, oh, you're, you're you're

155
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 9: making excuses for Dak, And I'm not gonna make excuses

156
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 9: for Dak on that. I think Dak was trying to

157
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 9: get a free play because he's he's if you watch

158
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 9: the tape, he's clapping his hands. He wants the ball

159
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 9: because they're late getting a guy on the field. He's

160
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 9: trying to get it that that guy has has to

161
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 9: cross through their side of the field to get to

162
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 9: the line to line up, and Dak wants the ball.

163
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 9: So he's going to try and get a free play

164
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 9: out of this, and it's happened to him before. I

165
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 9: believe it was. The Giants game did the same thing

166
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 9: throughing inter set thought he had a free play. Next thing,

167
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 9: you know, it's you know, it's not it's an interception.

168
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 9: The routes were poor on the outside. Lamb's route wasn't great,

169
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 9: the Brooks route inside wasn't great. You know, so your

170
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 9: Dak is kind of he's taking a shot thinking he

171
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 9: might get a free play, like we've seen a million

172
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 9: times Aaron Rodgers to he got burned on it. Now

173
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 9: there's things like that, Like I say, the fumble on

174
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 9: the goal line. Hell of a play by that guy.

175
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 9: Hell of a play by that guy. Now what happened

176
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 9: is they had penetration on the play and it forced

177
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 9: if they stay outside, if they get the block where

178
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 9: they secure the down guy, where Laddermilk is secure, the

179
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 9: ball's going to the edge, it's a walk in touchdown. Instead,

180
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 9: Dawdle has to cut back, and now you have the

181
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 9: collision in the hole.

182
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 8: And Doubt also made a critical mistake that he's going

183
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 8: to learn from in the NFL. This is not college.

184
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 8: You can't hold the ball out looked at. These guys

185
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 8: are way too skilled. They will punch it out. I

186
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 8: think that was another thing where I remember the late

187
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 8: great Gary Brown used to always say, don't stick the

188
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 8: ball out there on the goal line, you're just asking

189
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 8: for it to get punched out. He'll learn that lesson.

190
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 9: I think, well, a doubt and I give Dak some

191
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 9: credit because he could have reached, you know, he could

192
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 9: have very well reached for the cone, you know, and

193
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 9: then we'd had a situation like we had in the

194
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 9: Raiders game several years ago. We're are makes the run

195
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 9: and then and then Jeff Heath hits him and the

196
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 9: ball goes out the back of the end zone. Yeah,

197
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 9: that kind of like, yeah, like Dak just kind of goes, Okay,

198
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 9: I'm gonna try, but no, I know what and now

199
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 9: what's about to happen here? So yeah, there's things that

200
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 9: could absolutely correct. But they beat a they beat a

201
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 9: good football team. They're not good at quarterback. Here's a prediction.

202
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 9: They play the Raiders next week. Get ready for Russell

203
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 9: Wilson to be the quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers next week.

204
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me ask you this question.

205
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 8: So, and I hear what you're saying, Amber, and I agree,

206
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 8: they have a lot of stuff to clean up. But

207
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 8: if if we go back to the beginning of the

208
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 8: season and we're back at training camp, and I throw

209
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 8: out the question you guys. Okay, guys, we were at

210
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 8: week five, was at five five in the NFL season.

211
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 8: We're at week five the NFL season. Cowboys are going

212
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 8: to be in Pittsburgh, and here are the players that

213
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 8: will not be there. Yeah, Micah Tank, Kneeland, Williams, Cooks Gland,

214
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 8: Carson Gydon.

215
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 9: How are we feeling You're picking it out like she did?

216
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 3: No, But but my point is, my point is she's

217
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 3: not wrong. You know, she's absolutely right.

218
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 8: But my point is I think there is something to

219
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 8: the fact that in the NFL it's weird because you

220
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 8: watch other teams like I do this all the time

221
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 8: when I watch the good teams in the NFL, say

222
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 8: the Kansas City Chiefs. You know, you watch a team

223
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 8: like that, they can play an awful game, they end

224
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 8: up winning, and the narrative is man that team they

225
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 8: just know how to figure it out, even on their

226
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 8: worst days, they know how.

227
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 3: To figure it out.

228
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 8: That's not necessarily the benefit that we gave the Cowboy

229
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,359
Speaker 8: that a lot of people are giving the Cowboys about yesterday.

230
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 8: And by the way, they still got to clean up

231
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 8: all this stuff. I'm not saying that that's not a problem.

232
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 8: It's absolutely a problem because you're right, they're gonna play

233
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 8: better teams and that, even though I think Pittsburgh's a

234
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 8: good team, they're gonna play better teams and that starting

235
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 8: this next week going against Detroit, I think Detroit's a

236
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 8: better team. But the fact of the matter is yesterday,

237
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 8: on a day when the quarterback was not playing his

238
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 8: best football, on a day when they were absent a

239
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 8: ton of players, top line players, they still manage to

240
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 8: figure out on the road against a team that, by

241
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 8: the way, loves to play nasty football like that, they

242
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 8: figured out a way to be able to get a win.

243
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 3: I think there's some that goes to that in my opinion.

244
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 5: Absolutely. I mean you have to give credit when you

245
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 5: list when you look at the list of the guys

246
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 5: that you just said, absolutely, And my thing where I

247
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 5: come in and become critical is we've seen them make

248
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 5: these kinds of mistakes with their starters. We've seen them

249
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 5: still do these things when they're healthy. And that's my problem.

250
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 5: That's all where it comes from. Where you see problems

251
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 5: or mistakes when it comes to discipline, things that can

252
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 5: be in my mind, quote unquote easily adjusted or improved on.

253
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 5: That's that's why it gets me really kind of upset

254
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 5: in this topic because you're not seeing some kind of

255
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 5: improvement in that area. Now you look at the list,

256
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 5: you got to give them credit. Credit to the freaking

257
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 5: defense and the play and the way that they played

258
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 5: and the physical and tackling Marshall kneeling he comes out.

259
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 5: And that's four the way, one, two, three, four, the.

260
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 8: Actually ends six from the ones you had last year,

261
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 8: Six of the defensive ends that were your top defensive

262
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 8: ends are no longer playing for you as of last night.

263
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 8: Think about that because two of them left in free agency.

264
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 5: And then four them you can't count out.

265
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 8: You can't count that when you start thinking about just overall. Now,

266
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 8: I'm not saying Cowboys should have signed them, because I

267
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 8: don't think they should have paid the money that they

268
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 8: that they gotten free agency. My point is when you

269
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 8: just think about the level of talent that you've now

270
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 8: been depleted, that's the whole point I'm making it. Yeah,

271
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 8: from there to where you are now you are, I mean,

272
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 8: like you let those guys go, You lost your top

273
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 8: three guys, and then your guy you drafted is out

274
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 8: now and who knows for.

275
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 3: How long that that's gonna be, that's gonna last.

276
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 8: So it's it's a like defensive end that's a premium position,

277
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 8: and you're down six guys from where you were last

278
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 8: year this time, you.

279
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 5: Know, And I thought they did a very good job

280
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 5: adjusting and improving defensively overall. And you saw the aggressiveness

281
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 5: and them not really and I've talked a lot about

282
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 5: them being just a few steps behind. They were there.

283
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 5: They were there with these guys competing the whole They

284
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 5: didn't get worn out and it was a physical game.

285
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 5: So credit to them absolutely. But again, the way I

286
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 5: see it is and I'll take the win. I'm not

287
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 5: saying anything absolutely like I'll enjoy this for sure, and

288
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 5: I'm happy they did. But it's just like when you

289
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 5: see the when it comes down to those few thirty

290
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 5: seconds of the game, you're like, man, we should You're

291
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 5: better than this. You're better than this. We should not

292
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 5: have been put in this position.

293
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 3: It's very true.

294
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 8: I think there were a number of times last night

295
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 8: in the game we were looking at each other like the

296
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 8: it feels like they should be up by a lot

297
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 8: more than they are.

298
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 9: Oh sure that guy, they that game could have been

299
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 9: that could have been a thirty to whatever game.

300
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 3: You could have run away from them last night.

301
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 8: But to be honest with you, and maybe that's exactly

302
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 8: what you are at this point.

303
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 3: You couldn't run away from.

304
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 9: People are going to watch this game on you know,

305
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 9: they're going to go back and whether it's the NFL

306
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 9: stuff or however, you know, they watched the games and

307
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 9: you're gonna see Dallas had a chance to even punish

308
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 9: him even more in the running game, and and and

309
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 9: and it was, you know, it was it's one of

310
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 9: those you know, uh, ten guys, uh, you know, ten

311
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 9: guys doing their job and then one guy not doing

312
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 9: their job. That that is a lot of it. I mean,

313
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 9: they they continue to put these wide receivers in positions

314
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 9: to try and block, and it doesn't always work, and

315
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 9: it and it cost them, and it gets to the

316
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 9: point where I'm like, just keep the wide receivers wide

317
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 9: and take keep guys out of the box. Don't bring

318
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 9: guys down in the box that they have to block.

319
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 9: And you know, so I don't know, I mean to me,

320
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 9: it it there there. Dallas could have Dallas could have

321
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 9: really put a herding on them last night with the

322
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 9: way and the fact that the longest run that quarterback

323
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 9: had was eight yards. Hell, you'll take that every single

324
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 9: day after watching you know, the design runs that you

325
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 9: know that that the Ravens had the other day, the

326
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 9: design runs the Steelers have, you know for their quarterbacks.

327
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 9: I mean, that's that was a that was a good

328
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 9: job by by playing run defense against him.

329
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 8: All Right, we're gonna take our first break. We're gonna

330
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,320

391
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 8: It is the second segment of the break life from

392
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 8: the SWBC Mortgage Studios at the Star Wars discussing the

393
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 8: Cowboys win last night twenty seventeen versus this is the

394
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 8: Pittsburgh Steelers. I was certain this game was going overtime

395
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 8: as he as it was starting to wear down, because

396
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 8: it was just like everything about it just said overtime.

397
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 3: But luckily we didn't have to have any extra time.

398
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 8: We had already been there for an extra hour and

399
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 8: a half, so it was perfect that the Cowboys ended

400
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 8: it the way they did. But let's talk about Dak Prescott.

401
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 8: He had he was twenty nine to forty two, three

402
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 8: hundred and fifty two yards, two touchdowns, two interceptions, a

403
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 8: ninety point six rating. Had the game winner. What were

404
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,239
Speaker 8: your thoughts on his overall game, not just the end,

405
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 8: but just throughout the game. How did you think he.

406
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 9: Played any ideas?

407
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 5: I mean, he did a good job at the end

408
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 5: handle business. He handled business. But the thing that he

409
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 5: made it I think just drew more attention is because

410
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 5: leading up to the game, I was hearing from everybody,

411
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 5: the fan base, everybody was putting all of this game

412
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 5: on Dak and saying, this is going to be a

413
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 5: game where it's all gonna come down to what Dak

414
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 5: does and how he handles the game. And it did.

415
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 5: Also the running game. We'll talk about that later on,

416
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 5: but I think that overall in his performance, he had

417
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 5: some really good passes, some really good throws, but at

418
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 5: the same time, some of the decisions that he made,

419
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 5: it didn't look like his usual self, like the experienced

420
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 5: quarterback Dak Prescott that we used to see in especially

421
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 5: towards the end when they some of the throw to

422
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 5: the interception to CD and right when McCarthy called for

423
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 5: time out at a weird time, you know, when they

424
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 5: were getting the offense going. You know, when I'm talking.

425
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 3: About that, I'm trying to remember what happened in the moment.

426
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 9: He challenged the play he should have challenged.

427
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 3: But that was that was the thing.

428
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 5: But at times it just felt rushed the way that

429
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 5: Dak was playing. At times where it was not he

430
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 5: wasn't taking his time to think. And I guess you

431
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 5: get the pressure, but there were plays where he could

432
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 5: have had the time. He just needed to wait when

433
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 5: he threw some mistakes, some passes that were incomplete, there

434
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 5: were other guys on the field that exactly yeah, Hunter

435
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 5: had he just waited like a few more seconds. So

436
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 5: it was those things that I think he didn't take

437
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 5: the time, not that he had it always because of

438
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 5: the pressure that was coming, but I just hid he

439
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 5: could have been a lot more poised and confident playing

440
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 5: and taking a handle of the game. But at the

441
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 5: end he did what he needed to do, but he just, uh,

442
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 5: it was it was just inconsistent throughout the game.

443
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know this, this team doesn't allow you. The

444
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 9: Steelers doesn't allow you any comfort. You know, they really don't.

445
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 9: The thing that the thing that kind of makes you

446
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 9: comfortable is for him when he sees that single high safety.

447
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 9: And they played a lot of cover to last night

448
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 9: too to kind of prevent they were worried about, you know,

449
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 9: some of the that when Dallas throws the four verticals

450
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 9: and things like that. Dallas can play down the scene

451
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 9: really really well. Man, his the past, the touchdown passed

452
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 9: that he threw to Daddle in the corner, the route

453
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 9: that Daddle round to, you know, to get the to

454
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 9: get the defender to fall, you know, and then continue

455
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 9: into the end zone. It was just it was just

456
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 9: so pretty because it was Prescott. He wanted to throw

457
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 9: to his left and he's kind of like, okay, I

458
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 9: that's so muddy over there. Maybe old Dak throws it

459
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 9: into a muddy bad look ye, and you're and it's

460
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 9: he's forces it to Lamb and it's a contested ball,

461
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 9: and who knows what happens. But then he's able to

462
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 9: come back. And the reason he's able to come back

463
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 9: is because Steele had kept what wide enough. You know,

464
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 9: Wat's going to play that real wide technique, that wide

465
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 9: nine technique outside there, and and and Steele was unable

466
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 9: to just kind of able to pin him out there,

467
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 9: and it allowed Dak to move and then to throw

468
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 9: to Daddle and then Dawdle with the adjusting catches, and

469
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 9: I kind of felt like that. You know, the turnover

470
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 9: he had in the pocket, he really didn't. He didn't

471
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 9: do you know, his line any favored there. It was

472
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 9: instead of moving and he kind of stay stay. It's

473
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 9: like he's looking and now he's looking back. And with

474
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 9: this Steeler front, I mean, both tackles were beating on

475
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 9: the playoff. I mean he really didn't have a chance,

476
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 9: but you're still thinking, like, it's the Steelers, We're down here.

477
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 9: I got to throw this thing away. I can't. You

478
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 9: can't hold the ball. Even the pass that he threw

479
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 9: that was short to Tolbart in the end zone, he

480
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 9: was kind of looking looking and then and then he

481
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 9: tried to rush it because he saw Tilbart break. So

482
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 9: I felt like there was some parts of his game

483
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 9: that were very calm, and the way that he played

484
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 9: the flow of the game that you know, the touch

485
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 9: and at and then you.

486
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 5: Feel like he's not running us much because we've seen

487
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 5: him be good. I like on the move, make.

488
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 9: Those throws because he was in a boot this summer.

489
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 3: You think that's it.

490
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 9: I think. So, I don't think he wants to. I

491
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 9: don't think he's really interest interested. I think if he

492
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 9: if he, if he I thought they were actually maybe

493
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 9: thinking about quarterback draw on that fourth down. Yeah, they're

494
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 9: like to spread that thing out and then just powered

495
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 9: back through and see. But man, can you imagine running

496
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 9: that play and getting stopped and now? But you know,

497
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 9: but to me, I I kind of feel like that

498
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 9: he's gotten older and I don't think he's as interested

499
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 9: in doing that anymore. I don't think he's interested in

500
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 9: I think that there's been there's some there's some times

501
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 9: where his his ankle doesn't feel great and he plays

502
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 9: through it, and I don't think he wants to run.

503
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 9: I don't think he wants to go through that and

504
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 9: and take that chance again. Watch him against Detroit, just

505
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 9: take off run. But the side of me that really

506
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 9: does believe that he's not interested because he doesn't. He doesn't.

507
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 5: I haven't seen it.

508
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, really, Yeah, he just doesn't want to take a

509
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 9: chance of not being available.

510
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 8: But you know, that's also the thing too, is if

511
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 8: there's an offset to that, if you're not gonna be

512
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 8: that dack, if you're not gonna be the deck that's

513
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 8: gonna run and make that a part of the game

514
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 8: that the defense has to honor, then he's gonna have

515
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 8: to be even better as a passer, which means because

516
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 8: he's gonna take that part out so defenses don't have

517
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 8: to honor that part. That's the part where I'm like, Okay, great,

518
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 8: if that's gonna be the way you're gonna do it.

519
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 8: But that means you got to step it up. And

520
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 8: I mean, obviously last night in the moments that mattered

521
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 8: the most I heard I think it was Nick.

522
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 3: Said it this morning on on Sean and r J.

523
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 8: He said, you know this, this may have been his

524
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 8: his what was akin to Tony Roman Tony Romo's Buffalo games. Yeah,

525
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 8: where you play not such great football throughout the game

526
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 8: and then at the end you figure out a way

527
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 8: to get your team a win. And and that's what

528
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 8: it felt like yesterday. It didn't feel like it was

529
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 8: his best day. I agree with you, Brian. I thought

530
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 8: that that fumble was about the quarterback. I think he

531
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 8: just held the ball so long. You gotta do something more,

532
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 8: especially knowing those guys are already having some issues there

533
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 8: on the edge.

534
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 3: You just got to get rid of that ball.

535
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 9: You can't hold it that there's there's there were moments

536
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 9: of and that's kind of what you get with Dak.

537
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 9: There's moments of that brilliance, and then there's moments where

538
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 9: you're like, oh my god, what he just do? You know?

539
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 9: And and you know, I think that you know, in

540
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 9: the post, he was even talking about how upset he

541
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 9: was about giving up points, you know, the turnovers. I mean,

542
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 9: they they gave up you know, they probably gave up

543
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 9: thirteen points down there in the red zone. I mean,

544
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 9: they just have not been good down there. I mean

545
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 9: they they were good. Heck, they almost lost the damn game.

546
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 9: I mean it was crazy. I mean when that ball

547
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 9: was on the ground and then him having the awareness

548
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 9: to go dive on it. You know that, Oh my gosh,

549
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 9: I couldn't imagine.

550
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 5: Losing the game, almost like stomach.

551
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 8: You guys on the field, No, that used to be

552
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 8: the fun part there in MF.

553
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 3: No, that's great.

554
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 8: That used to be fun, but now it's now it's

555
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 8: you stay in the press box, still time to go

556
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 8: down the lot.

557
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 9: Okay, Well that's you know that when that happened and

558
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 9: you're sitting there thinking, and when he when he recovered it,

559
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 9: I'm I'm like, Okay, they're gonna win this game now.

560
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 9: I Mean, the football gods are with us today. We're

561
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 9: not going to lose it. We're not going to lose

562
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 9: this game today because of you know, but hey, it's

563
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 9: such a struggle watching this team on offense. Yeah, it

564
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 9: could have absolute brilliance to it. And just like the past,

565
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 9: Like early in that game that the past, they threw

566
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 9: the span forward. That was the motion, and you're like

567
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 9: going and he confused, You confuse the linebacker and you're thinking,

568
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 9: there you go. There you go motion, you know, gig

569
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 9: up the field wheel route, here we go, that kind

570
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 9: of thing. But and then the rest of the game

571
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 9: you're just like hanging on your ear because of you know,

572
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 9: what's going on with the plays?

573
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, when you mentioned that, I went back and looked

574
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 8: at it, like there were there were all kinds of

575
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 8: plays that happened before that final Yeah, that final touchdown.

576
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 3: Bro, I mean you had just to play before it.

577
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 8: You had the the pascity short hopped to Tobert that

578
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 8: racked him there in the end zone, and then you

579
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 8: got yeah, and then the one before that was the

580
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 8: one where where you got the fumble that doctor covers,

581
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 8: and then the one before that was the one where

582
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 8: Dak runs down to get to the one and almost

583
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 8: gave the game away if he had if he touches

584
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 8: that pylon and the ball doll, they lose the ball

585
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 8: game over right, And so you had all three of

586
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 8: those players happened back to back to back after by

587
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 8: the way, Hunter Lipke, who I'm I'm nick isn't here.

588
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 8: I'm sure Nick, I saw him in the press box, like, yes,

589
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 8: that's my guy.

590
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 3: But after he has the great screen screens to get

591
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 3: you down in position.

592
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 8: And then those three plays that all could have gone

593
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 8: opposite and killed this game for you.

594
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 3: And then just like that, Dak May makes.

595
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 8: The play that on fourth down, makes the play you

596
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 8: need for the touchdown. So yeah, you want to you

597
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 8: want to call it clutch, Call it clutch. He made

598
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 8: the play he needed to make. But they certainly were

599
00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 8: playing with fire there, definitely.

600
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 5: So you don't want a quarterback that just gives up

601
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 5: and mentally gives him throughout the game. So that's a

602
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 5: great quality that he has as a quarterback. He's just

603
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 5: staying in the game despite throwing those two interceptions decide

604
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 5: this pipe making those mistakes that you talk you just

605
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 5: talked about, He's still going to keep fighting all the

606
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 5: way till the end. And that's something that even Mike

607
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 5: McCarthy right after the game he highlighted when speaking about

608
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 5: Dak prescotting, and that's something we've known about him. He's

609
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 5: the quarterback that he's just going to keep fighting.

610
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 3: Well, I will say this, Brian.

611
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,239
Speaker 8: They finally listen to the break and they decided they

612
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 8: were going to commit to a running back. His name

613
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 8: is Rico Daluell. And what he did last night was

614
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 8: twenty carries for eighty seven yards, a four point four average,

615
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 8: two receptions for twenty seven yards, and a touchdown. Committing

616
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 8: to a running back.

617
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 5: Well, it took five weeks, it took fo we're here now.

618
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 3: But but it seemed to have work.

619
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 8: And I'm still convinced if they will just commit to

620
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 8: him on a consistent basis, he is as long as

621
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 8: he stays healthy, he is capable to be able to

622
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 8: let this running game have some semblance of a good

623
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 8: running game.

624
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 3: I'm not saying he's great.

625
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 8: Eighty seven yards ain't gonna be the one that's gonna

626
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 8: lead the league in rushing, but it'll be good enough

627
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 8: with the passing game that you have to be able

628
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 8: to compliment what you do and force teams of respect.

629
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 9: I thought there was gonna be twenty seven yards rushing

630
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 9: from Dawdle yesterday going into this game, the way that

631
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 9: the Steelers play, But you know, they figured they figured

632
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 9: out ways to take advantage of these edges some too,

633
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 9: you know, with them playing wide, and you know these

634
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 9: guys are built, you know, her big and Watt, They're

635
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 9: built to rush the passer. They're not built to stand

636
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 9: in there and play the run. And so if you

637
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 9: mash on them a little bit and get bodies on

638
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 9: them and make them have to fight those blocks. But

639
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 9: the Cowboys offensive line did a really nice job. There

640
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 9: was a couple of times the thing with the thing

641
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 9: with BB and again everybody'll see this. BB gets so

642
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 9: locked into getting that push on the down guy that

643
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 9: he's late getting up on like Queen the linebacker. So

644
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 9: it's gonna be a six yard gain. But if he

645
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 9: gets up on Queen, that thing's probably gonna go. See.

646
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 9: I'm starting to figure out these metrics, and it's like

647
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 9: expected yards per carry thing. I kind of get it

648
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 9: now that there were times where I don't think there

649
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 9: was any expected yards. I'm like, that plays blocked terribly.

650
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 9: There's no way you're now It's like, I'm interested to

651
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 9: see what that number is because it's like, how many

652
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 9: yards did Dallas actually leave on the field. That could

653
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 9: have been the way the plays, if they we could

654
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 9: have been coming out of this game, and I think

655
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 9: we still are in a way. We could have come

656
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 9: out of this game thinking, damn, Dallas ran the ball

657
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 9: against a really good run defense and had success to

658
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 9: it it and and then actually on the other end,

659
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 9: did a good job of stopping the run. So you

660
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 9: caught a break though. No question with you know, with Patterson,

661
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 9: those guys not playing, that's fine, Hey, no we feel

662
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 9: sorry for you. Nope, just keep playing. That's all you do.

663
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 3: Well.

664
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 5: Something that Regal he talked about right after the game.

665
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 5: He mentioned, you know it, the more you run and

666
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 5: the more they give you the chances and take the

667
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 5: chances on you, and you keep building on that, the

668
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 5: more confident you become. And we saw that throughout the game.

669
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 5: He just kept running better and better and finding the

670
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 5: hole and just getting more comfortable and confident. And I

671
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 5: think that's something that's going to start carrying over next

672
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 5: week and the following weeks. I think that the Cowboys

673
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 5: after this game, they can I mean there's no way

674
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 5: you don't see the results of what happened and you

675
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 5: don't go with like, Okay, Rico is our guy, and

676
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 5: let's start giving the ball, handing the ball a lot

677
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 5: more and in a more consistent basis. So I think

678
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 5: this is exactly what this offense is running game needed

679
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 5: going forward, because it was it was getting ugly. And

680
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 5: now you have an answer or a light of hope

681
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 5: there with him.

682
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 9: Can I ask you a question, do you guys think

683
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 9: you'll ever see Cooks or Dalvin Cooks?

684
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 8: At this point, I think what I always well, not

685
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 8: what I always expected, what I was starting to believe

686
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 8: is going to come true, which is I was starting

687
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 8: to believe they think.

688
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 3: Of him as an insurance policy too.

689
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 8: And now after last night, I'm kind of convinced they

690
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 8: see him as an insurance They.

691
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 9: Sit, they sit Vaughn, but they had to get linebackers

692
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 9: up because of the special teams problems that they were running.

693
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 8: But the mix was really good last night in my opinion,

694
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 8: Like you commit to to having doubt will be your

695
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 8: lead guy, you use Zeke because he got some really

696
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 8: good runs, I mean quite as kept there in the

697
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 8: second half. He had some runs that were really nice

698
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 8: there when they were trying to kind of get back

699
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 8: in that game.

700
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 3: And and then then you use lip Key some like

701
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 3: move him around, do some different things.

702
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 8: You can use him in the passing game, use him

703
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 8: on third down, he can pick up the blitz, all

704
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 8: those things. I think last night's mix is how I

705
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 8: would like them to do it.

706
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 9: Going first, Okay, let me ask you this question then, sir, Right,

707
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 9: the fact that he wasn't in on the the goal

708
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 9: line play that they fumbled. Who wasn't in that sequence?

709
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 9: Wasn't yet that Dawdle was the running back?

710
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 3: Yeah?

711
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 9: Did that tell you anything?

712
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 3: Yeah?

713
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 9: Maybe it told me that that he might not be

714
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 9: playing anymore.

715
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 8: I don't know if it told me that, because I

716
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 8: still think there are people in this confess that he's

717
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 8: still got his role.

718
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 9: Is was going to be that? Right? Then we all

719
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 9: kind of earmark him for that role.

720
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 8: Yes, I think so. But I also think that at

721
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 8: this point, I think what we may be left with

722
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 8: is he is a complimentary back, so he will spell Dowell,

723
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 8: They will use him in certain situations. He doesn't necessarily

724
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 8: have a specific role that always going to be is

725
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 8: because I thought they might use him on third downs

726
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 8: more to be able to pick up the blitz. Liptkey

727
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 8: is clearly that guy this point. Yeah, so I don't

728
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 8: know that he has that defined role. I do think

729
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 8: he could be their spell back and kind of, you know,

730
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 8: spell Rico when they need to spell him.

731
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 9: Are you interested at all at seeing Cook?

732
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 8: I still want to see him. I don't know if

733
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 8: they're going to give it to us, but I still

734
00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 8: want to see him. I'm kind of I think he

735
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 8: can be better than than Dowdell.

736
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 9: What was I think he could be better than Zeke

737
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 9: Fair And if you're gonna give me complimentary back guy,

738
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 9: give me the complimentary back guy that I think would

739
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 9: pair with Daddle that could be better.

740
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 3: What does he do better than Zeke that?

741
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 9: What do you think you did? You don't know that.

742
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 9: I need to find it out.

743
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 3: You want to see what he does?

744
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 9: I want to see.

745
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 5: I just the thing is I want to take my chances.

746
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 9: I would like to see just because I kind of

747
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:28,399
Speaker 9: feel like that that Maybe that line got a little

748
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 9: rhythm last night, Maybe they kind of figured some things out.

749
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 9: If they could get these wide receivers to block, you know,

750
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 9: gott to watch San Francisco tape. All those receivers do

751
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 9: is block, you know, but and they do it well,

752
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 9: and they do it really well. By the way, florinoay,

753
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 9: he could have cut call for holding twice in one

754
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 9: of the critical plays, Like I'm like, it's number eighty

755
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 9: and it's just like grabbing pulling a guy. Don't call it.

756
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 9: Don't call that. I'm like, going, Bro, you're in there

757
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 9: three plays and you could get called for holding twice,

758
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 9: you know, So you'll see, all.

759
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 3: Right, let's take a break goal quick. We got our

760
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 3: final break. We'll come back, and then we got to

761
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 3: talk a little bit about the defense.

762
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 9: Yeah.

763
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 8: The question I'll ask you guys, is what was more

764
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,760
Speaker 8: impressive last night? The run offense or the run defense.

765
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,800
Speaker 8: Both warreas where the Cowboys have struggled. Both showed signs

766
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 8: of life last night. We'll talk about it when we

767
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 8: come back. Dallas Cowboys dot com Radio.

768
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,279

Speaker 11: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

814
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 11: cheatah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

815
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 11: online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be

816
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 11: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

817
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 11: But the good news is Todd has AT and T

Speaker 11: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

819
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 11: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

820
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 11: toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and

821

830
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 3: All right, here we go. Let's talk about this.

831
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 9: Can you give him a real quick metric of the day, Yeah,

832
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 9: give it to me. When Dak think about this. When

833
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 9: Dak had over two point five seconds to throw, he

834
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 9: was thirteen of twenty three. It's strange, Yeah, it is,

835
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 9: you feel like with the but that happens to Jalen

836
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 9: hurts too. The longer he holds the ball, the worst

837
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 9: he gets. You know, well, I mean he he had

838
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 9: two touchdowns, two interceptions. He was thirteen to twenty three

839
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 9: for two hundred one yards. On passes where they were

840
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 9: over two point five seconds of protection. Under two point

841
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:41,479
Speaker 9: five seconds of protection, he was sixteen of nineteen. Yeah,

842
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 9: for one hundred and fifty one yards.

843
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 3: But actually that does make some sense to me.

844
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 8: Here's why, because the longer he holds it, the likelihood

845
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 8: is he was getting pressured, which means that the ball's

846
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 8: probably not going to be the best ball. It may

847
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 8: not be the best location. He maybe trying to get

848
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 8: rid of it. Like, there's more stuff that happens the

849
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 8: longer you take with the ball.

850
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 9: They got worked by the one that Brooks catched early

851
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 9: in the game. He was over the line. I mean

852
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 9: Brooks caught the ball. It should have been her first down.

853
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, Cockley's crew, I don't know what the hell

854
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 9: they were doing that day, but but you're right. The

855
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,280
Speaker 9: the thirteen for twenty three of the over two point five,

856
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 9: his yards per temp was eight point seven an attempt.

857
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 3: What was it for under two point five?

858
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 9: Seven point nine? Okay, so it was it was pretty

859
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 9: you know, it was pretty close. But but he he

860
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 9: was much better. He was much better when as far

861
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 9: as the under two point but man, they got rid

862
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:33,760
Speaker 9: of the ball pretty quick on some of the stuff,

863
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 9: the screens.

864
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 3: And things like that, which you need some of those

865
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:36,760
Speaker 3: kind of players.

866
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 8: And you talk about it all the time, Brian, like,

867
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 8: this is not a team that's traditionally been good at

868
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 8: the screen. No, but last night they had a couple

869
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 8: screens that that parade downtown down really good. That was

870
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 8: that was that was unexpected. But they had a couple

871
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 8: screens that throw.

872
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 9: Him the screen. He'll do. You get exactly what I mean.

873
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 9: It was a great block by BB to get him

874
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 9: up in the alley and the way you win.

875
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 8: I actually love him and I love getting Ferguson in

876
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 8: those kind of situations. With what we know about Ferguson

877
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 8: is he breaks tackles. He knows how to.

878
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,919
Speaker 9: Down play that he made because he catches the ball

879
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 9: late in the game. He catches the ball short of

880
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 9: the sticks about six.

881
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 8: Yards and you had no doubt he was going, You're going, oh,

882
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 8: here we go.

883
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 9: He's just running through guys, you know, and he's going

884
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 9: to get the first down.

885
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 13: Yeah.

886
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 8: I love how he runs after the catch. But talk

887
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 8: to me about the defense. If you had to kind

888
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 8: of say which one was, let's say more surprising, which

889
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,359
Speaker 8: was more surprising between their run defense and their run

890
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 8: offense last night.

891
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 5: I mean, when you look at what the Steelers do

892
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 5: or don't do on the running game, you got to

893
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 5: take that into account. We talked about it on the show,

894
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 5: how they lead the league on like attempts, but they're

895
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 5: not as successful with running the ball. So that's something

896
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:52,280
Speaker 5: to keep in mind. So my credit, my bigger credit

897
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 5: would be given to the Cowboys offense because this is

898
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 5: an area where we definitely have just overall not seen

899
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 5: it in when you look at the defense, I mean

900
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 5: that's and I mean the Steelers defense. I think they

901
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 5: hold a higher power than the Steelers' offense here. So

902
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 5: for sure, you got to give credit to what the

903
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 5: Cowboys O line was able to do along with Rico

904
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:15,359
Speaker 5: Dowell and the game that they were able to put

905
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 5: as far as their running game.

906
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 9: Kendrick's eight tackles on run stops have twenty six run

907
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 9: snaps eight run tackles yep over shown with four you

908
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 9: go down the list. Chauncey Golston twenty three snaps, four

909
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 9: run tackles. He had a good game, but he had

910
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 9: a really good game. By the way. How about Mozzie

911
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 9: Smith thirteen snaps, four run tackles. So see you had to.

912
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 3: I mean, we had two weeks in a row. Nowt

913
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 3: of Mazzi has kind of shown up.

914
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 9: He got knocked back a couple of times. But you know,

915
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 9: Mazzie steps, Babysipsy steps. But you know, you go through

916
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 9: yards per yards per play on these tackles. They're all

917
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 9: within manageable numbers. They're all three point threes, three point two's.

918
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 9: You know, when you play the Ravens and you're playing

919
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 9: the Saints, those numbers were six point four, six point eight,

920
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 9: seven point one. You know, it's the last couple of weeks.

921
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 9: They've done a much better job with their fits and

922
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 9: they're finished in They were running in a they were

923
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 9: running in a clip. They were one of the one

924
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 9: of the bottom teams in the league when it came

925
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 9: to tackle percentage. And you could tell just watching the

926
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 9: tape or watching the game. Hell, you didn't even need

927
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 9: the tape. You can watch TV copy and go, you're

928
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 9: not tackling very well. Today. I felt like that they

929
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:31,359
Speaker 9: you know that that this whole thing was about going

930
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 9: to get their linebackers. That's what I was surprised. I

931
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 9: was surprised. I was surprised with the run defense. Well, actually,

932
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,760
Speaker 9: I take that back. I was surprised with their ability

933
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 9: to run the football run defense. I felt like that

934
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 9: with the way the Steelers inability to get linebacker we

935
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 9: talked about it when we broke them down, their inability

936
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 9: to get linemen up on linebackers. Look a look at

937
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 9: the tackles from all the linebackers in this game. That's

938
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 9: something that that we kind of talked about going in.

939
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 9: And you know, their back is he's he's at the end.

940
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 9: That's you know, but you didn't let the quarterback kill you.

941
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 9: That's the thing. I was worried about the designed quarterback runs,

942
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 9: especially the first step of the game. He goes running

943
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 9: around eight yards. I'm like, okay, here we go. I'm

944
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 9: going to see this. But that was the longest run

945
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:18,919
Speaker 9: of the day.

946
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 8: And I would have been more concerned if they had

947
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 8: Warren and Patterson playing. Like you said last week, I

948
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 8: thought those two guys added a dynamic dimension to their

949
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 8: run game that they just didn't have last night. I

950
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 8: think those backs are really what fuel that running game,

951
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 8: in my opinion, for as much as it's going to

952
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 8: be fueled. I thought that's where they could have had

953
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 8: some issues that the Cowboys would have had a hard

954
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,320
Speaker 8: time dealing with. I think when you when you didn't

955
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 8: have those two guys in there, it just made it

956
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 8: a lot easier for Dallas to to be able to

957
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 8: get the guys in the right place. But I'm not

958
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 8: going to take anything away from Dallas either. That's two

959
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 8: weeks in a row. You can say what you want.

960
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 8: They've they they have not been stopping to run well

961
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 8: this season those two games, last game, in this game,

962
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 8: they've done a really really good job. And actually, if

963
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 8: you look at the first half of yesterday day, it

964
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 8: was looking like they were getting run on pretty good.

965
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,479
Speaker 8: They they Pittsburgh had seventy yards at the half right

966
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:07,839
Speaker 8: it rushing and and but they had shut down their

967
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 8: passing offense to basically nothing, so they couldn't sustain drives.

968
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 3: It kind of felt like they were seven on third

969
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 3: downs like they were.

970
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 8: They were shutting them down, so they really couldn't get

971
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 8: anything going, but they were running.

972
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:17,359
Speaker 3: The ball well.

973
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 9: I kind of felt like if they could have got

974
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 9: the game at to thirteen to three, you know that

975
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 9: there's no way, Yeah, they no way. Steelers are coming back.

976
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 9: Not throwing the ball the way they were throwing the ball.

977
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 9: So but yeah, it was a it was a it

978
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 9: was a nice day as far as that, especially with

979
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 9: all the guys to back up guys.

980
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 5: I was going to say, with all the backups, I

981
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 5: mean give extra credit to you.

982
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 9: Know, if Tank, if Tank and Michael were playing in

983
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 9: that game, that would have been far worse for the Steelers. Yeah,

984
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 9: they those they were they couldn't block. They wouldn't have

985
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 9: been able to block those guys because they had trouble blocking.

986
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 9: They had trouble blocking Golston, they had trouble blocking Wheat,

987
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 9: they had trouble blocking Osa. You know, they had problems.

988
00:44:58,080 --> 00:44:59,760
Speaker 8: Had a good game too. He was using the batfield

989
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 8: a lot. All right, we're gonna that's a wrap. We're
