Speaker 1: The following. Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Let's go. Are you
Speaker 1: ready for a break? Yes? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: Ready for a break? Yeah, and so much for that.
Speaker 1: It's time for the Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton.
Speaker 1: It is Monday, January seventeenth, twenty twenty two, season seventeen,
Speaker 1: episode number ninety nine. Welcome to the latest edition of
Speaker 1: The Break. Life in the s W Mortgage. He and
Speaker 1: I don't even want to laugh because it's just actually
Speaker 1: do kind of want to laugh, just because it's just like,
Speaker 1: what else can you do at this point near the
Speaker 1: other one? I'm sure what your people have done, maybe,
Speaker 1: which our producer did right before we went on the air, Like,
Speaker 1: I think that was kind of what we're all feeling.
Speaker 1: Cowboys lose twenty three seventeen to San Francisco. I can't
Speaker 1: say that it was a surprise. I think we were
Speaker 1: all very concerned about this matchup last week. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: thought they'd win. We all picked, we all picked, we did.
Speaker 1: I think we all had some trepidation. I don't think
Speaker 1: any of us were like, oh, Cowboys A roll through
Speaker 1: this team. I don't think like I roll. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought they'd win. I mean I thought they would win.
Speaker 1: I thought they would play better, but they just did.
Speaker 1: They're not. They're not. I mean I fell for it.
Speaker 1: I really did. I wrote this, we talked about I
Speaker 1: fell for it. I thought they were better. I did.
Speaker 1: I thought this season was different because it was it
Speaker 1: was season was different than what we've had, but not
Speaker 1: to the point where it was going to be a
Speaker 1: different ending. So everything they've done all year long, they
Speaker 1: showed it in that game, and they were you know,
Speaker 1: they were a pretty good team. They've been pretty good
Speaker 1: shot all year long. Ago, Well, I feel like at
Speaker 1: the beginning, and I was thinking that this morning as
Speaker 1: I was driving here, I'm thinking, I'm like, man, how
Speaker 1: did I personally go from watching the game and feeling
Speaker 1: so pumped and confident that they would this is a
Speaker 1: year that they could get to the Super Bowl? You know,
Speaker 1: the way that the offense was playing, that we're making
Speaker 1: mistakes and all that, but they were overcoming in every
Speaker 1: single time. And then all of a sudden it changed
Speaker 1: in the second half of the season, we've talked about
Speaker 1: it on here. Oh well, teams start looking at your schemes,
Speaker 1: they start preparing for you and all that. But it's
Speaker 1: like it has to be more than that. There has
Speaker 1: to be something else as to how this team changed
Speaker 1: so much like night and day from what we had
Speaker 1: seen initially, from me thinking and coming out here and saying, well,
Speaker 1: we aren't going to the super Bowl, asking for my
Speaker 1: ring and everything about that. I really don't think they changed.
Speaker 1: I don't think they were the same team. It's just
Speaker 1: that they face different changed it. As I was saying,
Speaker 1: they were pretty good team this year, and pretty good,
Speaker 1: we'll get you knocked out in the wild card round.
Speaker 1: That's what pretty good does. See. I think you're right,
Speaker 1: but for different reasons. I think they didn't change. They
Speaker 1: didn't adapt. They did not respond to any of the
Speaker 1: challenges that came their way, whether that was their problems
Speaker 1: with officiating, whether that was their problems with teams figuring
Speaker 1: out how to beat them, which is to rush for
Speaker 1: and drop in zone. I mean that problem arose on
Speaker 1: November seventh, and they looked just as helpless dealing with
Speaker 1: it on January what was yesterday fifteenth? Whatever doesn't matter,
Speaker 1: They looked just as helpless dealing with something that they
Speaker 1: saw all the way back in November. They looked just
Speaker 1: as terrible cleaning up their penalties as they did in
Speaker 1: October when that was an issue that they overcame, but
Speaker 1: they never adjusted to it. And maybe maybe I'm just
Speaker 1: shooting from the hip in the wake of a frustrating loss,
Speaker 1: but it just strikes me as like an unearned type
Speaker 1: of arrogance, Like every week, in the wake of all
Speaker 1: of this stuff, there was this confidence, maybe arrogance, seeing
Speaker 1: as how they didn't handle it, exuding from this team
Speaker 1: of line them up. We got it, I know what
Speaker 1: we have in this locker room. We're gonna do this,
Speaker 1: we're gonna do that, we're gonna do the other, and
Speaker 1: it never really translated. They played some crappy teams and
Speaker 1: showed off their potential doing that, but from week six
Speaker 1: until yesterday, they never answered the bell against like the
Speaker 1: type of opponent that you need to be to be
Speaker 1: a great team. And it's frustrating. I think I've said
Speaker 1: this a few times. It reminds me of twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: You'll never convince me like that twenty nineteen team belonged
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. I'm not saying that they were a
Speaker 1: super Bowl team, but they were good enough to be
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and they couldn't get there, couldn't get
Speaker 1: out of their own way. I do think this team
Speaker 1: had the talent and the potential to be special, but
Speaker 1: they just didn't change. They did not take the steps
Speaker 1: necessary over the course of the season to be something more.
Speaker 1: And the problem that we said from training camp and
Speaker 1: before that that we were worried about continue to be
Speaker 1: a problem all year. The center and the left guard spot.
Speaker 1: They can't block, they can't move the guys off the ball.
Speaker 1: And you're not going to change your quarterback because he's
Speaker 1: making more money than God right now. So that's that's
Speaker 1: what he's gonna do. But you better get the guys
Speaker 1: up front to block for him. You have to. You
Speaker 1: have to sell out next year to protect him because
Speaker 1: Dad needs your help. He ran more than a cross
Speaker 1: country runner yesterday and he's not good enough to do
Speaker 1: that all the time. He needs help, and he didn't
Speaker 1: get it either. So let me ask you guys this,
Speaker 1: and I know this happens all the time, because especially
Speaker 1: for you guys, that right you find yourself years from now,
Speaker 1: you'll go back and you'll think about this playoff game,
Speaker 1: and there'll be a certain thing in your mind, whether
Speaker 1: it's a memory of a specific play or just how
Speaker 1: they played in general. What will be that thought, like,
Speaker 1: years from now, how you guys crystallize this particular game.
Speaker 1: That's actually what I wrote about last night, and I
Speaker 1: think it's ironic. I think because the way that it
Speaker 1: was talked about. It was the first five minutes of
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy's press conference, it was the first ten minutes
Speaker 1: of Dak Prescott's press conference. What I will probably remember
Speaker 1: is the final fourteen seconds and really that whole sequence
Speaker 1: from the time Trent Williams got the false start to
Speaker 1: win the clock ran out. That's what you'll remember, like, oh,
Speaker 1: the game where Dak couldn't get the spike off. But
Speaker 1: that's not It should be remembered for them playing like
Speaker 1: crap for fifty fifty minutes and like I mean, and
Speaker 1: we've seen that time and time again, and it rubbed
Speaker 1: me the wrong way. Even as bonkers as that whole
Speaker 1: thing was, I was like, why are we talking about
Speaker 1: this as if this is the reason why they lost.
Speaker 1: It's not. It's not it's the fact that it took
Speaker 1: them thirty five minutes to realize they were in a
Speaker 1: playoff game. That's why they lost. So that's probably what
Speaker 1: I'll remember, is like, oh, yeah, that was the game
Speaker 1: with the weird spike situation. But really they got nobody
Speaker 1: to blame with themselves. I mean yeah, I'll probably say
Speaker 1: something snarky five years from now and be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that was the game where they played in the playoff
Speaker 1: and they didn't get the playoff. That's that's that's like.
Speaker 1: And not only not only once, but twice. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I mean I got a problem with that play
Speaker 1: with with with the officials. I mean, because everyone's saying
Speaker 1: that they they did it right. They you know, even
Speaker 1: that that arrogant referee that in the transcript that we read,
Speaker 1: he was like, we did it right, we did it right,
Speaker 1: we did it right. I don't think so. I don't
Speaker 1: think he did it right. But we'll talk about it.
Speaker 1: We'll get to them, Amber, because I've left a lot
Speaker 1: of games, so I know, how will you remember that game, Amber,
Speaker 1: I don't know. But right now how I feel is
Speaker 1: that it's it's just here we are again again, and
Speaker 1: you know, so many times like giving him the second
Speaker 1: half of you keep thinking, maybe my biggest thing is
Speaker 1: the quarterback right now. You keep thinking he's got it
Speaker 1: or at least me. Every time, you know, we see
Speaker 1: progress of the year, even last year before he got hurt,
Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, he got it, he got it, But
Speaker 1: then you realize he doesn't. Or then there comes a
Speaker 1: time where you really need him and he plays like crap.
Speaker 1: And I think he's a special player and everything, but
Speaker 1: it's just like one of those moments again where in
Speaker 1: a game that you really needed him to step up,
Speaker 1: he did not. So this is how I'm coming off
Speaker 1: this year. It's like, I don't want to say that
Speaker 1: they made the right choice in signing him and giving
Speaker 1: him all that money and all that, but it is questionable.
Speaker 1: Is he the right guy to be the quarterback and
Speaker 1: lead this team or do you have to really spend
Speaker 1: a ton of money in bringing up guys to build
Speaker 1: around him to help him out the whole way? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I'll tell you this. Here's when I think
Speaker 1: back this game, I was looking at all the different
Speaker 1: things that happened, because there were lots of things that
Speaker 1: happened in this game. You could point to to be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that was wrong, that was off, that was a problem.
Speaker 1: But really, for me, what this game came down to
Speaker 1: check this out. Two forty two left in the fourth quarter,
Speaker 1: they had three timeouts, they were down by six, and
Speaker 1: they have the ball in that drive. Dak was one
Speaker 1: of five for thirty eight yards at the nice reception,
Speaker 1: the nice completion to Dalton Schultz. But other than that,
Speaker 1: over like it didn't complete any other passes. They had
Speaker 1: two balls that you could say were dropped, CD and Zeke.
Speaker 1: They had an offensive line penalty that they got declined
Speaker 1: on the play where Zeke dropped the ball because San
Speaker 1: Francisco is like, well, you dropped the ball, so we'll
Speaker 1: just take that. We don't need to necessarily take the penalty.
Speaker 1: You had a sack which Connor Williams gave up talking
Speaker 1: about your guard and how ineffective they are. And then
Speaker 1: you had on the final play of that one, a
Speaker 1: open receiver that because Dak is feeling pressure because there's
Speaker 1: a blitz up the middle that either somebody didn't pick
Speaker 1: up or Dak couldn't make a guy miss to buy
Speaker 1: himself more time, he kind of just heaves the ball.
Speaker 1: They can't complete the pass and they can't keep the
Speaker 1: drive going. To me, you look at all that stuff
Speaker 1: that was the game right there. I don't give me
Speaker 1: all this stuff. What happened after that? And REFF did this.
Speaker 1: REFF did at the end of the day, as bad
Speaker 1: as they played two forty two left in the game,
Speaker 1: they had every opportunity to then drive and win the game.
Speaker 1: And they were highly ineffective. Not just a few plays,
Speaker 1: they were highly ineffective on offense. And I think, and
Speaker 1: if I don't know if you said this or not,
Speaker 1: but going into the game that the forty nine two
Speaker 1: best defensive players we thought were botha and Warner and
Speaker 1: neither one of them are. So it's yeah, you had
Speaker 1: they had the ball with north of two minutes and
Speaker 1: all of their timeouts, facing a sixth I mean, that's
Speaker 1: where that's what you want, that's what you dream about
Speaker 1: if you are a team capable of winning a playoff game.
Speaker 1: And I definitely I'm not going to absolve Dak. I
Speaker 1: thought that he had a terrible game. That I mean,
Speaker 1: the decision on the interception was was not good. Um,
Speaker 1: his accuracy didn't seem awful to me. Yesterday and again
Speaker 1: like it's gonna sound like I am, and I swear
Speaker 1: I'm not. But their offensive line got embarrassed yesterday to
Speaker 1: not have Nick Bosa in that game for half of
Speaker 1: the game and you wouldn't know it. Five sacks pressured
Speaker 1: all the time, And maybe I'm making excuses for him,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm sorry, but like when you can
Speaker 1: rush four and drop seven down after down after down
Speaker 1: and make Dak repeatedly try to squeeze balls into tight zones,
Speaker 1: they're playing zone all day and he's running for his
Speaker 1: life while he's doing. It's gonna be hard. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be hard for a lot of guys, and maybe Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers can overcome that. And that's why there's only like
Speaker 1: one on the planet. So that was Dak didn't play well,
Speaker 1: but holy crap, his offensive line that the whole name
Speaker 1: name I get maybe Zach, maybe Zach Martin, And I
Speaker 1: think the forty nine ers specifically schemed their front to
Speaker 1: basically say, all right, Zach will beat his guy and
Speaker 1: we'll just embarrass the rest of him. Like that's what
Speaker 1: it seemed like they were doing. Lyle had a rough day, penalties,
Speaker 1: several priest stap he's Connor Williams. It speaks for itself.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, Yeah, I don't in the
Speaker 1: CD right now, I'm giving him the bottle. I don't
Speaker 1: know how you justify that, and and I don't know
Speaker 1: how that makes sense. Tyron Smith looked like a hobbled
Speaker 1: old player yesterday. Again, Bosa left basically at halftime and
Speaker 1: other guys were getting home plenty of I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: back and watch it again because I watched it once
Speaker 1: last night and I didn't see a lot of issues
Speaker 1: from Tyron. I gotta watch it again, I guess because
Speaker 1: I thought he played pretty well. I thought there was
Speaker 1: a couple of issues there. He gave up a pretty
Speaker 1: shout out Longhorns Charles Charles a minute, who who? I knew?
Speaker 1: The Texas were like, we're good. I know I know
Speaker 1: his name because I cover the draft, but like a
Speaker 1: journeyman fifth round pick. He had a sack and a
Speaker 1: half yesterday, beat Tyron clean on one of them. Um yeah,
Speaker 1: and you're just not used to seeing that. It might
Speaker 1: be an end again. I don't want to give the
Speaker 1: impression that Tyron Smith is no longer a good play. No,
Speaker 1: that's not that's what it is that I don't know
Speaker 1: that Tyren Smith is an elite player. And and then
Speaker 1: you start a questioning, Okay, if he's not elite and
Speaker 1: he's not reliable from a from a health standpoint, then
Speaker 1: is it time to start looking at other options. But
Speaker 1: here's the thing about that. You know what else is
Speaker 1: in the lead about him? It's contract? Well you got
Speaker 1: that up and down this like you've got a couple
Speaker 1: guys like that. No. But but I'm saying, if you
Speaker 1: if you think that just Tyron Smith is a probably
Speaker 1: not a top five player anymore, and maybe he's just
Speaker 1: a top ten or top fifteen, I think he's still
Speaker 1: he's still on the cheap, I have to go look
Speaker 1: at it. But nobody like the way these contracts work.
Speaker 1: For sure, he just hasn't. But as the play what
Speaker 1: you need if you're if you're talking about the fact
Speaker 1: that you got problems at a lot of other spots
Speaker 1: as well, and maybe that's the reason why you couldn't
Speaker 1: do anything different, because you got a lot of other
Speaker 1: spots that are much more important that you fix than
Speaker 1: left tackle. But we're getting into the weeds a little bit,
Speaker 1: like we can go over all of that. We got
Speaker 1: a long time to talk about it, but it just
Speaker 1: I mean, again, like Nick said earlier, like and wrote about,
Speaker 1: like every single thing that's bothered them leading up to
Speaker 1: this came home to roost. And that's it makes it
Speaker 1: frustrating because they didn't do anything to address it really,
Speaker 1: or they didn't do enough except for one. What's that
Speaker 1: the field goal? An extra point? Yeah? Great? And I'm
Speaker 1: telling you this, if they would have scored a touchdown,
Speaker 1: he's gonna hit the post. I don't know if it
Speaker 1: goes in or out, but I mean it's not gonna
Speaker 1: be right down in the middle. Can you imagine how
Speaker 1: quiet that place would have been. Yeah, No, it wouldn't
Speaker 1: have been because the other side, the other side, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it wouldn't have been quiet. There wasn't no uet yesterday.
Speaker 1: And by the way, it wasn't that they were overpowering,
Speaker 1: but they were enough that they were there was there
Speaker 1: are enough of them there when the refs, when the
Speaker 1: refs said the game was over, there was there was
Speaker 1: a sizeable cheer. And honestly that that I liked that atmosphere.
Speaker 1: I loved that. I loved that in a playoff atmosphere,
Speaker 1: No it was great. Got a loud audience, a loud
Speaker 1: set of fans, and they're you know, you got some
Speaker 1: on both sides. I would say, what do you guys say,
Speaker 1: seventy thirty split? I would So I think that's that.
Speaker 1: That felt right, That felt good for a playoff team,
Speaker 1: you know, and and thirty good fans. Yeah, you know, passionate, Yeah,
Speaker 1: passionate fans of fan base. You know, obviously, if you're
Speaker 1: gonna spend that money to get in, you know you are.
Speaker 1: And so anybody can be loud, you know, anybody can
Speaker 1: you know, if you boo, you're gonna hear that. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, there they they were. They were there, just
Speaker 1: like it would have been if the Cowboys would have
Speaker 1: played there, it would have been the same thing. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's that's what happened in the play playoffs. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: were gonna take our first break. When we come back,
Speaker 1: I do want to dive into that end of game scenario.
Speaker 1: What you guys thought of it. We've heard from Nick.
Speaker 1: I want to hear what Amber and Dave heard yet. Okay,
Speaker 1: well let's let's talk about that when we come back.

Speaker 1: It is the second segment of the show Life This
Speaker 1: WBC Mortgage Studios. At the start, we're talking about the
Speaker 1: Cowboys lost twenty three seventeen. They have been booted from
Speaker 1: the playoffs. San Francisco gold On they will be playing
Speaker 1: I guess there at this point, they're playing the Packers. Yep. Wow,
Speaker 1: be a great game. It will be. It will be.
Speaker 1: It will be, you know, honestly, And I heard this
Speaker 1: before the game, and I think it's true. We talked
Speaker 1: about all week how bad of a matchup it was
Speaker 1: for Dallas, how tough of a matchup I should say
Speaker 1: it was for Dallas. It's really a tough matchup for
Speaker 1: almost anybody's left in the playoffs, just because they do
Speaker 1: what they do so well and it's so different than
Speaker 1: what everybody else does. So it's gonna be a tough
Speaker 1: matchup for green Bay as well. Differences. Green Bay's got
Speaker 1: that dude. He's got that dude at quarterback. You can
Speaker 1: kind of right size all that kind of stuff. All right,
Speaker 1: Let's talk about though the end of the game. I
Speaker 1: talked about a little bit in the first segment. Basically,
Speaker 1: they decide that they're going to with very little time,
Speaker 1: they opt to allow Dak to get to basically run
Speaker 1: the ball right up the middle of the field, and
Speaker 1: the hope was he would get down in time to
Speaker 1: be able to then respot the ball, spike it, and
Speaker 1: give them one more shot roughly twenty five to thirty
Speaker 1: yards in order to win the game, which sounds like
Speaker 1: a great probably a more well, I'll let you guys
Speaker 1: answer that. Was that the right decision or should they
Speaker 1: have opted for take a shot at the end zone
Speaker 1: or maybe two shots the end zone from back at
Speaker 1: the fifty and see what you can come up with.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing I like. I like that they thought
Speaker 1: outside the box. Like your odds of completing it. They
Speaker 1: were at the forty one, they were at the San
Speaker 1: Francisco forty one. So odds of completing a forty one
Speaker 1: yard pass to the end zone in the NFL is
Speaker 1: not good. So you gotta find a way to get
Speaker 1: up there a little bit and in a vacuum. It's
Speaker 1: a smart idea. It is like nobody's expecting this, nobody's
Speaker 1: going to be covering the draw because you got to
Speaker 1: be a crazy person to do it, and you theoretically,
Speaker 1: like fourteen seconds is the traditional threshold of like you
Speaker 1: have enough time to get down, get everything together, spike it.
Speaker 1: I like the thought process and a vacuum. Here's the thing.
Speaker 1: Football games aren't played in a vacuum. And they said
Speaker 1: this after the game. They wrap it time and time
Speaker 1: again and it works. But here's the thing. You're on
Speaker 1: your own practice field, in your own environment. Everybody knows
Speaker 1: exactly what you're trying to do. Our dear friend Dylan Keane,
Speaker 1: the equipment manager, plays referee. He knows exactly what they're doing.
Speaker 1: He's going to sprint in with the ball, put it
Speaker 1: where it needs to be. That's not going to happen
Speaker 1: in a game. Maybe, like the ref doesn't know what
Speaker 1: you're gonna do. The ref is maybe out of shape
Speaker 1: or winds up twenty yards behind the play. Should he be? No?
Speaker 1: Is it something that you have to kind of count
Speaker 1: on maybe going wrong? Absolutely? The forty nine ers player
Speaker 1: is probably gonna lay on you and like forget how
Speaker 1: to get up and maybe swat at the football. That
Speaker 1: stuff's gonna happen. That's what they're trained to do. And
Speaker 1: so I like the idea. The thought that it was
Speaker 1: ever gonna work in a live game perfectly was probably
Speaker 1: far fetched, and so I think you would have been
Speaker 1: better off maybe running an out for twelve yards the
Speaker 1: Jason Witten special. They ran it with Dalton Schultz earlier.
Speaker 1: I think that's more likely to get you there than that.
Speaker 1: Like I said, I understand the thought process, but I
Speaker 1: just don't think it was realistic that I was ever
Speaker 1: going to work. Everything was just very sloppy. It's like
Speaker 1: nobody was on the same page. It's like, this is
Speaker 1: your first time playing football and you're still trying, like,
Speaker 1: you know, this is like mistakes that you do in
Speaker 1: the practice field when you're trying to figure out, Okay,
Speaker 1: what are we coming up with this week? But the
Speaker 1: way that they went out there, and let me say this,
Speaker 1: I said this to several people yesterday, and people, you know,
Speaker 1: I always talk about demeanors and vibes and all that
Speaker 1: and it's dumb or whatever, but I said it to
Speaker 1: several people. When I got there and I was watching
Speaker 1: the sidelines both teams the Cowboys were just standing there,
Speaker 1: which is fine or whatever. And then I look at
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers and I can't I can't remember
Speaker 1: what players those two were because they were from the side,
Speaker 1: so I couldn't see their numbers, and they were far
Speaker 1: but they're hitting each other like this to the point
Speaker 1: where I'm thinking are they fighting? In my head? And
Speaker 1: then I keep watching and what They're just pushing each
Speaker 1: other really really hard and just going at it and
Speaker 1: then they hug at the end or whatever. So it
Speaker 1: was like hyping each other up, and like right at
Speaker 1: the beginning of the game, like pre game, I could
Speaker 1: see just the energy on both sides. And I know
Speaker 1: I always talk about this, but I made my point
Speaker 1: of sending it to several people. I'm like, this is
Speaker 1: not looking to be great because of how they're coming
Speaker 1: into the game. The game anyway. Point is I feel
Speaker 1: like they didn't come in prepared and they didn't have
Speaker 1: the what they needed to do and it was just
Speaker 1: too late at the end of the game. And what
Speaker 1: they did even what was that one where they was
Speaker 1: it they handed the past to Cedric and then he
Speaker 1: threw it to get it to the hook and ladder.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah to Tony Poller, was it right? Well they
Speaker 1: messed they botched that one, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah it was.
Speaker 1: It wasn't good. But my point is, like little things
Speaker 1: like that, when you watch it, it's just like they
Speaker 1: they they were lost, Like it's not like everybody's in
Speaker 1: sync or this was planned or they knew what we're
Speaker 1: going to do. And I know they play and they
Speaker 1: practice all this place, but I don't know just the
Speaker 1: whole thing from beginning to end. And at the end
Speaker 1: with the ref, what was the problem without in like
Speaker 1: a few more like an extra second and going back
Speaker 1: and saying reviewing this player, and like, you know, I
Speaker 1: know you're gonna talk about it, Nick, what happened there
Speaker 1: with the ref at the end, But I don't get
Speaker 1: what the big deal is and adding an extra second
Speaker 1: and saying, you know what, we kind of messed up.
Speaker 1: Let's just let you guys go it, even though it's
Speaker 1: not gonna work out for you guys at the end,
Speaker 1: because they they don't think that they did mess up
Speaker 1: because they're there. What the official said was as we
Speaker 1: spotted the ball correctly. The Cowboys supposed to hand the
Speaker 1: ball to the official apparently, and they be honest, tried
Speaker 1: to spot the ball and whatever. But my issue though,
Speaker 1: is just that the back judge was he was in
Speaker 1: it was at six flags when that play started, when
Speaker 1: that play ended, I mean he would he was at
Speaker 1: the fifty yard line and he stayed at the fifty.
Speaker 1: When Dad got down, he had to run and sprint.
Speaker 1: He should have already been doing that. And once Dak
Speaker 1: took off his job to get the ball, he should
Speaker 1: have been running. He was out of position. So yeah,
Speaker 1: he spotted the ball, but it took way too long
Speaker 1: for him to get there. I mean, he's not twenty
Speaker 1: five years old. I mean he he as a as
Speaker 1: a ref, and your job is to be athletic and
Speaker 1: get up there, then you better get up there quicker.
Speaker 1: And he wasn't. So I mean they're not going to
Speaker 1: probably make the helmet or the player or whatever. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's not why they lost. But I don't I don't
Speaker 1: I think for the NFL to say that our guys
Speaker 1: did it properly, I don't think that's correct. I mean,
Speaker 1: you got you got seven refs there or eight refs,
Speaker 1: you got a thousand refs on the sideline. He got
Speaker 1: New York sitting up there. I mean, I'll say this,
Speaker 1: they didn't win anything with New York this year. It
Speaker 1: was either New York called down and changed the call
Speaker 1: on him, or they didn't call or whatever. I mean,
Speaker 1: they gotta they gotta figure that out. About when do
Speaker 1: we go to New York and when do we not?
Speaker 1: You know, it seems a little weird, But I just
Speaker 1: thought the ref was out of position. I mean, for
Speaker 1: sure that's not why they lost, but he was out
Speaker 1: of position to me, Yeah, I mean I think that,
Speaker 1: you know, and I'll ask you guys this question. It
Speaker 1: was that a situation where you think they didn't understand
Speaker 1: they needed to get the ball to the ref because
Speaker 1: we've seen you see this all the time in the NFL,
Speaker 1: where where I know, I get that, but I'm saying
Speaker 1: like we see it all the time. We see it
Speaker 1: all the time in the NFL where at the end
Speaker 1: of game, guys go down and they immediately look for
Speaker 1: the ref to try to get the ball to them
Speaker 1: because they know he's the one that has to spot it.
Speaker 1: So they try to help him along like like you're right,
Speaker 1: like he should have been up there a lot of
Speaker 1: times he's not. So the player will get the ball
Speaker 1: to the ref so that the ref can you know,
Speaker 1: at least you make it a little bit faster because
Speaker 1: you're helping him. Do you think this was a situation
Speaker 1: where the Cowboys aired and not doing that and not
Speaker 1: looking to identify who the ref is. Get the ball
Speaker 1: to him, so it makes it move a little faster. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that that was That's probably part of it.
Speaker 1: But again it goes back to he's not there, so
Speaker 1: you're just in panic mode or whatever. To go back
Speaker 1: to what Dave said on the play, And I actually
Speaker 1: was standing down there and I said to the guy
Speaker 1: next to me, I would have thrown Pollards in the slot.
Speaker 1: I said, I'd go right over the middle of the
Speaker 1: field here and go down and spike it. That's a
Speaker 1: lot quicker. Pollard's faster, he's right there. You throw it
Speaker 1: to him, he gets ten fifteen yards and then everyone's moving.
Speaker 1: The quarterback didn't have to go back and then forward.
Speaker 1: I like the middle of the field. I just would
Speaker 1: have done it with Pollard. It's wide open. But good call. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I have to go back and look at
Speaker 1: the coverage they were playing, but it's obvious they left
Speaker 1: the middle of the field wide open on purpose. You
Speaker 1: can take advantage of it. But that is a slow
Speaker 1: developing play, not I don't want to be a douche.
Speaker 1: I'm getting aggravated all over again, because like we're spending
Speaker 1: a significant chunk of the show and there's so many
Speaker 1: other reasons why they lost this game. I mean, they
Speaker 1: got pretty thoroughly outplayed and outcoached in almost every facet.
Speaker 1: I mean, the slow starts are ridiculous, and I mean
Speaker 1: at this point, I mean, we talk about the offensive
Speaker 1: coordinator and all that, but he's gonna be a head coach. Like, seriously,
Speaker 1: I don't see it. I haven't seen it all year.
Speaker 1: I don't see it. And I don't know how you
Speaker 1: would see that. Like his teams aren't prepared in the
Speaker 1: first half, like in the first quarter of games. I mean,
Speaker 1: they haven't been that good. Now they make some adjustments,
Speaker 1: but you know, they they rally back, but I mean
Speaker 1: they shouldn't be down so much. And I think it
Speaker 1: all comes down to preparation. So and I'll throw this
Speaker 1: out too, and I think this is where I want
Speaker 1: to go next, is the penalties. This is a game
Speaker 1: where once again penalties killed them. And I you know,
Speaker 1: I heard somebody say it like this this is more.
Speaker 1: I think it was on Sean and RJ here at
Speaker 1: in one on five to out three the fan they're like,
Speaker 1: you know, the first time you get cheated on, you know,
Speaker 1: you look at the other person, You're like, man, I
Speaker 1: was really messed up. By the fourth time, you gotta
Speaker 1: start looking in the mirror and being like, why am
Speaker 1: I in this situation? Maybe I am allowing this to happen.
Speaker 1: Maybe there's something more I need to be doing, so
Speaker 1: on not in this situation. And it's a similar situation
Speaker 1: here with Reps. I'm kind of tired of this team
Speaker 1: talking about after games, talking about the refs did this
Speaker 1: and that and the other. I don't like it's one
Speaker 1: thing one game. It's been multiple games. It is the epito.
Speaker 1: It's petulant, like they sound like whiny kids and like
Speaker 1: from the coach on down. Honestly, I mean it's yeah,
Speaker 1: it's gross. I mean they were flagged fourteen times yesterday.
Speaker 1: I challenge you to go find more than two or
Speaker 1: three that weren't just outright flags like I thought. I
Speaker 1: thought Connor got flagged for a holding early where I
Speaker 1: mean the guy did go to the ground, but it
Speaker 1: looked like he kind of lost his footing. And Randy
Speaker 1: Gregory one, I think sure, I think that he was
Speaker 1: moving his foot the tackle was moving. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: Trump Williams got away with some stuff, but Randy Gregory
Speaker 1: had the worst. Maybe the defensive holding on Randy. I mean,
Speaker 1: don't come at me, don't come at any like most
Speaker 1: of these weren't earned, right, you know, I was by
Speaker 1: you like just you know, that was just that was
Speaker 1: just and that's it. Almost thought like he thought he
Speaker 1: had the ball, like he was tackling him. Yeah, what
Speaker 1: he mean, MICA's there, MICA's got this thing. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be third and nine with a minute and a half
Speaker 1: to go. You call your second time out like you're
Speaker 1: gonna get the ball back with about one twenty five
Speaker 1: instead you got it with thirty two seconds. But do
Speaker 1: you think this is all the reflection of the fact
Speaker 1: that number one, the coach says he wants the team
Speaker 1: to play on the edge, which means he's okay with
Speaker 1: a lot of these penalties, especially the penalties that are
Speaker 1: kind of between the whistle. He was more concerned about
Speaker 1: the pre snap ones. But that particular penalty, to me,
Speaker 1: is about playing like trying to play at the edge.
Speaker 1: Guy kind of got you, so you just kind of
Speaker 1: pull him down. Whereas if the coaches maybe coaching, look,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna be stupid, We're not gonna make dumb penalties.
Speaker 1: That's not about playing on the edge. That's about being
Speaker 1: smart about the time of the game and what's happening
Speaker 1: into what they've said earlier arrogant. I think that that's
Speaker 1: what he goes back to because at the beginning of
Speaker 1: the year, you saw them making these mistakes penalties, but
Speaker 1: it was working out. Okay, you come out with the
Speaker 1: win and you can take it whatever. But then you
Speaker 1: see how now it's affecting you. And they had play
Speaker 1: enty of time to be working on this, because this
Speaker 1: is like you guys have been saying, this is nothing new.
Speaker 1: It's been happening week after week, and then we somehow
Speaker 1: end up talking about the refs or whatever. But I
Speaker 1: think that going back to that, I now do start
Speaker 1: seeing this team as maybe they were pretty arrogain throughout
Speaker 1: the season, and it bait them in the butt at
Speaker 1: the end of the game. At the end of the year,
Speaker 1: it beat them in the butt, because that's the only reason,
Speaker 1: the only way that you do not work on it.
Speaker 1: I mean, let me not say work on it, because
Speaker 1: maybe they have been working on it and trying to
Speaker 1: improve of that, but for you to constantly be making
Speaker 1: the same mistakes and not see any kind of improvement
Speaker 1: week after week that's you thinking that you got the
Speaker 1: better team and at the end of the day, you're
Speaker 1: going to come out with the win regardless. My lasting
Speaker 1: impression right now of this team is like this air
Speaker 1: of defiance coming out of these losses, where it's like,
Speaker 1: not our fault, it ain't US Vegas Cardinals. Last night.
Speaker 1: He haven't even talked about Dak's comments about the referees.
Speaker 1: It just it's a it's a terrible look. It's not
Speaker 1: a good look. That was bad. It's not a good
Speaker 1: look for your franchise quarterbacks. Costly as a costly game
Speaker 1: of what they had a chance to do, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be costly for him to say that. Just didn't hear
Speaker 1: what was what happened after the game. Obviously you saw
Speaker 1: the people throwing stuff onto the field, um, and you know,
Speaker 1: and and it was they was asked about it, he
Speaker 1: gave a he gave a very Dak answer on it
Speaker 1: was disgusting. These players fight so hard, why would throw
Speaker 1: stuff at him? And then he was brought to his attention,
Speaker 1: was like, well, actually I think they were thrown at
Speaker 1: the refs, and he said, well, credit to them, credit
Speaker 1: to them. Then he got a chance to come back
Speaker 1: and he was given he was given an opportunity to clarify,
Speaker 1: and he was like, yeah, that's that's what it meant.
Speaker 1: And you know that's I get it. I get I
Speaker 1: get that he's frustrated. Uh. You know, he talked about
Speaker 1: how this this is gonna last stay with him for
Speaker 1: a long time. I'm sure will. But let me let
Speaker 1: me also let me also say this too. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: we do this every day. We sit here in front
Speaker 1: of the mics. We say things, We've said things that
Speaker 1: we regret. You know, you get finished off the show
Speaker 1: and said that. You know, it happens all the time,
Speaker 1: and and you know, and and Dak shouldn't have said that,
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it. Um. I got a problem
Speaker 1: with the people that didn't say anything. You know, that's
Speaker 1: that's that's my issue. Are you talking about I'm talking
Speaker 1: about the guys that that that don't step up to
Speaker 1: the mic and talk. You know, nobody wants to. You
Speaker 1: think Dak wants to do that. You think Zeke wants
Speaker 1: to do that. Zeke, Zeke's the best one that we've
Speaker 1: had in many years. As far as this is my job,
Speaker 1: I go, I talk to the me if I had
Speaker 1: twenty four yards rushing in two fumbles or whatever. This
Speaker 1: is what I'm gonna do. And I stand down there
Speaker 1: and I you know, I mean, I got I got
Speaker 1: heismaned more than anybody you know last night, Chris and
Speaker 1: I did down there, and it's ridiculous. It really was,
Speaker 1: and so so I yes, Dak, you shouldn't have said that,
Speaker 1: But I also think that there's not enough credit that
Speaker 1: that gets taken to the guys that do face the music,
Speaker 1: stand up there and have the answers, and you have
Speaker 1: veterans that had great seasons, Pro Bowl seasons, Pro Bowl
Speaker 1: players that said, I don't feel like talking. All right,
Speaker 1: he was there last night. I think he I think
Speaker 1: he was. He was tweeting about it. I would guess
Speaker 1: he was an appropriate uh drop there, Chris. It really is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's these It's funny though. I mean, I agree with
Speaker 1: everything you just said, but I think I'm big enough
Speaker 1: to admit I would tell everybody to f off if
Speaker 1: I were one of those guys after a game like
Speaker 1: that would be like, I can't get in front of
Speaker 1: a microphone right now. It's not gonna be good for anybody.
Speaker 1: But I admire the guys that do it. I mean
Speaker 1: that's I mean, they're paid handsomely to do it. But
Speaker 1: that's gotta be tough. Yeah, I mean, I mean it's
Speaker 1: part of the job. It's a part of the job
Speaker 1: for a lot of them. I'm not gonna say for everybody,
Speaker 1: because everybody is not a part of their job necessarily.
Speaker 1: I think for the leaders, it is a part of
Speaker 1: their job because that's what leadership is. If you're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about great a leader, they are, that's part of
Speaker 1: being a leader. There's a lot of disappointing stuff we
Speaker 1: can go over. We haven't scratched the surface, Like there's
Speaker 1: so much the Cowboys play, calling the way the way
Speaker 1: like the forty nine ers, like the way they scheme
Speaker 1: things up for their guys, getting Diggs to bite on
Speaker 1: multiple double moves, Like if if Jimmy G's a more
Speaker 1: accurate quarterback, they end the game by burning Treyvon Diggs. Basically,
Speaker 1: I mean, they're just very smart coaching stuff. Well coached team.
Speaker 1: But to go back to what I was gonna say, like,
Speaker 1: not only did he play great, but Micah Parsons once
Speaker 1: again comes out and like is is like the mature
Speaker 1: Like we didn't do enough enough of this, like just
Speaker 1: very like down to business. We gotta clean this stuff up.
Speaker 1: It's not good enough. Yeah that I mean, if you're
Speaker 1: if there's a bright spot for this game other than
Speaker 1: Zeroline not missing anything, it's probably that Laydon played the
Speaker 1: game of his season. From this season, I think it
Speaker 1: is Michael Parsons And what how had somebody tell me
Speaker 1: last night? Man, when he becomes a leader of this team,
Speaker 1: look out? I was like, he's already as a leader
Speaker 1: of this defense. For sure, there's no doubt in my
Speaker 1: mind he's a leader of this team. I felt so smart.
Speaker 1: But like he I mean he did he blitzed and
Speaker 1: he did some edge stuff, but like they used him
Speaker 1: against the running game and the forty nine ers ran
Speaker 1: for one forty five, but like they did enough. This
Speaker 1: reminded me a lot of the Cardinals game. Like the
Speaker 1: defense they helped him to twenty three points. And this
Speaker 1: is a dan Quinn trend at this point, Like the
Speaker 1: forty nine ers script worked to perfection. They got exactly
Speaker 1: what they wanted. They go down and get seven. Defense
Speaker 1: kind of cracks its neck and they were good the
Speaker 1: rest of the way. Their only other touchdown came on
Speaker 1: a short field because of Dakh they got a takeaway
Speaker 1: that set the offense up to get back into the game.
Speaker 1: Not the best game of their season at all, but
Speaker 1: they played well enough to win, and Michael was right
Speaker 1: there in the run defense, I mean, I think San
Speaker 1: Francisco couldn't have had more than like two explosive runs.
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of that was gritty, tough running.
Speaker 1: No sacks though, that was that was tough. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1: But the other thing I'll mentioned on that day of
Speaker 1: two though, that that I think you have to take
Speaker 1: a few points off the defense is there were a
Speaker 1: number of times yesterday where they had opportunities to make
Speaker 1: tackles and the guy got another four or five yards.
Speaker 1: That was a problem. That's what they're good at. Yeah, problem,
Speaker 1: I mean it is, it's it's that was what we
Speaker 1: were talking about all week when we said the kind
Speaker 1: of the brand of football that San Francisco plays is
Speaker 1: a tough, gritty running style, and and that's what they
Speaker 1: live on is you think you got us, We'll get
Speaker 1: another four yards and that like it's seven to nothing
Speaker 1: and it's third and twenty one at like midfield and
Speaker 1: they throw a little pass to the fullback U and
Speaker 1: you know he stopped at the forty yard line and
Speaker 1: he spends and gets to like the thirty five and
Speaker 1: the fullback yeah wow, because I can't say his name,
Speaker 1: you check whatever. He I don't think he's gonna kick
Speaker 1: a fifty eight yard field goal with him, but he's
Speaker 1: gonna kick a fifty three and you know that five
Speaker 1: yards because you know, every every defensive players so point,
Speaker 1: you know, so excited to put their hand up and
Speaker 1: be like fourth down, fourth down. I'm like, well, you
Speaker 1: just lost three points. Yeah, because you didn't get them
Speaker 1: when you're supposed to. You know, yeah, great, it's fourth down.
Speaker 1: It's still gonna be three points as opposed to them punning.
Speaker 1: So and you know, and then I know you can't
Speaker 1: play the game that way, but I mean, just think
Speaker 1: what three less points does when you're trying to drive
Speaker 1: and you're down by three, you're at the forty yard
Speaker 1: and you're already in field goal rings. So you know,
Speaker 1: those things, those things add up. You're not saying anything
Speaker 1: that's incorrect, but twenty three points twenty yeah, twenty three
Speaker 1: points should win you a home game. Yeah, the offense
Speaker 1: had eleven possessions. Eight of them ended without points, either
Speaker 1: a turnover at the end of the game or a punt. Again,
Speaker 1: nothing we haven't seen this season. Three hundred and seven
Speaker 1: yards of offense and again again the other We talked
Speaker 1: about it a lot. It's like, can can the offensive
Speaker 1: line give Dak time to stand in there and throw?
Speaker 1: And the answer was no. I mean, that's the only
Speaker 1: thing you can fix. Now you can't. You're not gonna
Speaker 1: change your quarterback. You gotta fix that. You have to
Speaker 1: figure well, I'm gonna throw one at you when we
Speaker 1: come back from a break. That I think is something
Speaker 1: that can be fixed that. I'm not sure the Cowboys
Speaker 1: have what it takes to actually go down this route,
Speaker 1: but I think it's something they should. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: that we come right back. This is Dallas Cowboys dot

Speaker 1: we do next week? I don't under this, and I
Speaker 1: I love the Draft show. I enjoyed doing it. Literally
Speaker 1: on the drive end this morning, I was just like
Speaker 1: Derek's Derek. I was like, Derek's gonna tell me we're
Speaker 1: going on Thursday, and I'm gonna cry. I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: all right, because, like you, Dave, we're gonna wait till
Speaker 1: next just give me some time to digest what just
Speaker 1: happened and maybe start looking that. You know, last year
Speaker 1: they were out of the playoffs for all intents and
Speaker 1: purposes before Christmas. I don't know anything about this draft class.
Speaker 1: So all right, let's wait till next week for you day,
Speaker 1: thank you, and and we'll just kind of but just
Speaker 1: so the fans know. Next week, all right, we're gonna

Speaker 1: be excited next week or even later this week, but
Speaker 1: right now, I'm just like, oh my god, you can't
Speaker 1: just jump into another relationship that quick. Thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 1: Amber Da and I were sitting up there in the
Speaker 1: in the press box US night and he said something
Speaker 1: that I didn't think of right off the bat, but
Speaker 1: he was like, this fan base this year, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough. This offseason is going to be tough.
Speaker 1: God bless you. If you're listening right now, well you
Speaker 1: you're listening now, but are you gonna listen in March?
Speaker 1: Are you listen? You know, like these folks are like
Speaker 1: even like, what if the Cowboys not to mention I
Speaker 1: mean first place schedule. I used to think that was
Speaker 1: kind of not a big deal. But when you add
Speaker 1: another game, you're adding another first place team. You know,
Speaker 1: you you face I think you face four. They got Rogers,
Speaker 1: they got Brady, they got Joey b You don't know
Speaker 1: if they got Rodgers, maybe they have the team that
Speaker 1: currently employs Rogers. Point being, there's some really really good
Speaker 1: teams on the schedule next year. It's a bits tough.
Speaker 1: It'll be tough as it is Tampa every years. My
Speaker 1: point to that is is you get to four though five,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Okay that listening, you know, it goes back.
Speaker 1: It kind of goes back to the arrogance thing. And Nick,
Speaker 1: maybe you're right, maybe they were just pretty good, not great,
Speaker 1: But like twelve wins is the reasonable expectation. That's that's
Speaker 1: the best most fans are ever gonna hope for. Like,
Speaker 1: you don't go into a season excuse me, yeah, you're right,
Speaker 1: you don't. You don't. You don't go into a season
Speaker 1: like fourteen and three or fifty fifteen and two. I'm
Speaker 1: still getting used to the new records, But like, nobody
Speaker 1: goes into a season expecting to lose two or fewer games,
Speaker 1: Like twelve wins is the reasonable expectation. And this team
Speaker 1: at times this year looked like a pretty special team
Speaker 1: and it just didn't translate. And if you care about
Speaker 1: this team. Even if you're like the biggest die hard,
Speaker 1: I don't blame you at all. If you need to
Speaker 1: see more, you're like, I ain't getting excited about a
Speaker 1: win in October? Why should I? I don't blame you
Speaker 1: at all. That's the hard parts me the most is
Speaker 1: that we get to this point and you always think, Okay,
Speaker 1: we're only a few pieces away. That's what it always
Speaker 1: feels like, as opposed to last year. I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: far everybody here from defen on the defense. But it
Speaker 1: always feels like that. But then you got to go
Speaker 1: through the whole thing of like you're never gonna have
Speaker 1: the same team and just like you might get some
Speaker 1: other better player at a certain position, you're gonna lose
Speaker 1: players are have been doing a good job. So it's just, man,
Speaker 1: I don't know how you do the draft. Don't care
Speaker 1: about it. The draft is great though, because the draft
Speaker 1: like and I think that's why you know, I've already
Speaker 1: gotten a lot of tweets about like when is the
Speaker 1: Draft show start? Because it might be unhealthy. It's definitely unhealthy,
Speaker 1: but like hope Hope springs etern like it renews you. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: and then you have free agen they're going to deal with. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it does have a way every new Yeah. I was
Speaker 1: like not to be a downer though, And you never
Speaker 1: know what you can find in the draft, Like, shoot,
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson was the third receiver taken in his class,
Speaker 1: and he's all of a sudden looking like far and away,
Speaker 1: not all of a sudden, he's far and away the
Speaker 1: best receiver. Like we talked so much it was like,
Speaker 1: can't believe the league led CD fall to seventeen. Now
Speaker 1: I'm more like, I can't believe the league led Justin
Speaker 1: Jefferson fall to twenty two or wherever he was taking
Speaker 1: the point I was gonna make. It's just like this,
Speaker 1: They're not going to be significantly better next year than
Speaker 1: they are than what they were right now, unless a
Speaker 1: minor miracle happens. You know, like they've got a lot
Speaker 1: of tough decisions in front of them in free agency,
Speaker 1: not a lot of money to spend, and you could
Speaker 1: always stumble into an amazing draft pick. But I think
Speaker 1: they're picking twenty fourth odds that you're finding a difference
Speaker 1: maker at twenty four, and then whatever pick is after that,
Speaker 1: they're not good. So this is what you got and
Speaker 1: you got to find a way to get better results
Speaker 1: with it. And we talked about the twelve wins, you know,
Speaker 1: about being a pretty good team. I mean, this is
Speaker 1: another thing we mentioned of those twelve wins. I mean,
Speaker 1: nobody's still playing. No, I mean, you won three playoff
Speaker 1: game three. You won three games against playoff teams. The
Speaker 1: Eagles showed that they didn't belong and the Patriots didn't show,
Speaker 1: you know. And the thing about it is is what
Speaker 1: what are those two teams have in common? They have
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks that really aren't that ready to play, you know,
Speaker 1: and it comes down to quarterbacks. I mean, I mean
Speaker 1: and da you know, we thought, you know, MVP or
Speaker 1: at one point he should be time. We thought comeback
Speaker 1: player of the year. He's not gonna win that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I don't think they voted yet. They don't they
Speaker 1: don't vote yet. Um, I don't know. And they're gonna vote.
Speaker 1: They're gonna vote Burrow because he's already won a game.
Speaker 1: Burrows won as many playoff games as Dak that that'll
Speaker 1: be said. And it's true. How many years I know
Speaker 1: there are quarterbacks that come in and they played really
Speaker 1: well right off the bat. I mean Dak did it
Speaker 1: himself his first year, you know, but how many years
Speaker 1: to a quarterback's life does do they get that turning
Speaker 1: point where it's like, Okay, this guy could be elite
Speaker 1: or could be really good. Is there usually like maybe
Speaker 1: a certain amount of years that he takes a quarterback
Speaker 1: to there's no start becoming that. There's no definitive timeline it.
Speaker 1: I mean, when do you start playing, Like are you
Speaker 1: a day one starter as a rookie like Dak? Do
Speaker 1: you sit on the bench for four years like Rogers
Speaker 1: or Romo? Are you on a good team earlier in
Speaker 1: your career? I mean, Brady got carried by amazing defenses
Speaker 1: for the first few years. There's there's no formula. But
Speaker 1: by year six, with as much starting experience as you have,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say you're a finished product, but that's
Speaker 1: where these results should start coming in. Yeah, That's where
Speaker 1: I was going to ask you, guys, do you think
Speaker 1: it's fair for fans who look at Dak now and
Speaker 1: say he's been starting since he was a rookie, he's
Speaker 1: passed that first contract, he should be in his prime.
Speaker 1: And if he's in his prime, this is the best
Speaker 1: of what you're going to see from Dak Prescott. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that. And I remember writing this article in two
Speaker 1: thousand and eight and Romo came up to me and
Speaker 1: was upset about it. And he said, yeah, I heard
Speaker 1: you called me Matt Hasselbeck. And I said, that's not
Speaker 1: what I said. Did you read the article? He goes, no,
Speaker 1: someone told me about it. I was like, well, that's
Speaker 1: your first mistake. Please read the article and then come back,
Speaker 1: because what I wrote was is that everybody in the
Speaker 1: league there's there's only a couple of Drew Brees and
Speaker 1: Bradies and Mannings or whatever. Seattle's got Matt Hasselbeck and
Speaker 1: that they're committed to him, and that's who they've got.
Speaker 1: And so you have to the way though the quarterback
Speaker 1: market works. You have to pay your guy, but it
Speaker 1: may not be as good as you want it to be,
Speaker 1: but that's that's your guy. You at your pot committed
Speaker 1: with him. So I said, it's I mean, Seattle's got this,
Speaker 1: you got the Cowboys have. Romo's who you have. I
Speaker 1: didn't compare him to that. I'm basically saying he's better
Speaker 1: than that. You could you could be this guy. That's
Speaker 1: where the Cowboys are, and you said it. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you want to go there that route, but
Speaker 1: you said it, and you're right, Well, actually I know
Speaker 1: what you're talking about, and I said it last night
Speaker 1: actually when I was talking to some of my family
Speaker 1: members would come to the game, and I literally took
Speaker 1: my sister off for a feast. She had to sit
Speaker 1: down like, oh God, please tell me, no, that's not
Speaker 1: the case. But I was like, tell me the difference, like,
Speaker 1: do the Cowboys have a Kirk Cousins, Like do they
Speaker 1: have a guy who is like you were in a
Speaker 1: situation where you needed to pay him because there weren't
Speaker 1: a lot of other guys that were better. You didn't
Speaker 1: have a lot of options. But what you've seen as
Speaker 1: far as results aren't quite there yet, Like, yeah, you
Speaker 1: got some sets, but as far as getting your team
Speaker 1: to that next level, like he hasn't shown you yet
Speaker 1: that he can do that. And again, I am not
Speaker 1: It's the same thing what you were saying, Nick. I
Speaker 1: think Dak is way better than Kirk Cousins at his best.
Speaker 1: The results, though right now are saying they're about the same.
Speaker 1: It's hard to argue that the results are different. That's
Speaker 1: what I was about to say, I still I have
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence that Dak is a better quarterback
Speaker 1: than that. I just I don't even know how to
Speaker 1: articulate it, but I think I still think he's one
Speaker 1: of the best in the league when everything is working
Speaker 1: the way it's supposed to, right. But the fun thing is,
Speaker 1: nuance goes out the window when you sign one hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty million dollar contract. And I'm not going to
Speaker 1: bother arguing because the results are what they are, Like,
Speaker 1: I'm not just gonna sit here and pound the table
Speaker 1: after you put up a sixty nine passer rating in
Speaker 1: a playoff game like it is what it is, and yeah,
Speaker 1: you had no time to throw. Your offensive line got mauled. Sorry,
Speaker 1: there were also some opportunities though that he had. Sure
Speaker 1: he did no, no, no, again he did. He played
Speaker 1: like crap. I think he's a better player than that.
Speaker 1: I sitting here right now, I do not think quarterback
Speaker 1: is a problem for the Dallas Cowboys. But I'm not
Speaker 1: going to argue with the people that think that it is,
Speaker 1: because that's if you don't like it, don't sign the
Speaker 1: forty million dollar contract. Like that's the nature of this business.
Speaker 1: And I think Dak is that he's just going to
Speaker 1: have to eat that and let it hopefully, let it
Speaker 1: fuel him. Right. I think he's gonna be pissed off
Speaker 1: until he has a chance to get out there and
Speaker 1: show something better. But until then, what are you supposed
Speaker 1: to say? Yeah, I will say this. I do think
Speaker 1: that a lot of what we saw in the second
Speaker 1: half of the year from Dak Prescott was a result
Speaker 1: of an offensive line that just is not good enough.
Speaker 1: And if there's one thing that this team has to
Speaker 1: do this offseason, they have to figure out how to
Speaker 1: start the process of remaking their offensive line. That's going
Speaker 1: to be extremely difficult for the reasons that Dave was
Speaker 1: just talking about. Don't have a lot of money, you're
Speaker 1: picking late in the draft. It's going to be difficult.
Speaker 1: But they got to start that process now. They got
Speaker 1: to start figuring out how they can start remaking this
Speaker 1: offensive line because this offensive line is highly unreliable and
Speaker 1: they're just not good at What did they do with
Speaker 1: Romo to bring it full circle? They waited way too
Speaker 1: long to do that. Ye, Like they waited until he
Speaker 1: was closer to the end of his career. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: And I don't I mean I don't think DA's at
Speaker 1: that point, but yeah, you can't. You can't let that
Speaker 1: thing slip. Maybe to knock on him. There are some
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the league that can make it work with less,
Speaker 1: but I don't think he's one of them. They're too
Speaker 1: light on offensive line. I mean, I went back, I
Speaker 1: was watching a game two thousand and nine or ten.
Speaker 1: Would they they play? I watched that offensive line and
Speaker 1: you know, Leonard Davis at at at right guard, and
Speaker 1: Flowzell Adams and Mark Colombo and Kyle Kozer is not
Speaker 1: the biggest guy, but the center was Andre Garrod. They
Speaker 1: got they had a big, big offensive line. And I
Speaker 1: get the football has changed a little bit, but the
Speaker 1: forteen hundred had a big line and they have a
Speaker 1: veteran line. I mean, I think this whole underside. I mean,
Speaker 1: how many screens are we really running here? How many
Speaker 1: screens are pulling? Get the screen pages out of the
Speaker 1: playbook anyway, But their athleticism, how much does that factor in?
Speaker 1: You're I like having good athletes on the line, I
Speaker 1: mean good they all got to the line and we
Speaker 1: got to get the ball spiked. I'm sure everybody would
Speaker 1: have done that, you know, Lyell and Tyrant got there.
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying athleticism for the all offensive line
Speaker 1: for the most probably want a guy that's mean and
Speaker 1: nasty and big he can push you back, and they
Speaker 1: don't have that. Connor Williams is athletic. Good for him.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna go to free agency and his
Speaker 1: Dagan is gonna sell that. But he's not. He's not.
Speaker 1: His technique isn't great, and he doesn't push people back.
Speaker 1: He's probably a tackle. That's where he should have been
Speaker 1: playing along. Yeah, it's a hell of a hell of
Speaker 1: a final impression to leave. I will say real quick though,
Speaker 1: I do think before before we end the show, lay
Speaker 1: leave a good one thought. Layton played one of his
Speaker 1: better games of the season. In all honesty, I said
Speaker 1: this off I said this off the air. I think
Speaker 1: he did play well, But he needs to go to
Speaker 1: a team that's gonna face the forty nine ers a
Speaker 1: lot and that's that style. Yeah, that style because him,
Speaker 1: because when they're gonna run like that. He he did
Speaker 1: have a nice game. He had a great play that
Speaker 1: could have changed the game when he stopped Debo at
Speaker 1: fourth and one or third and whatever. He stopped the
Speaker 1: one yard trub was a huge play in the game.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you're right. I mean, because you're not asking
Speaker 1: to do as much in coverage a lot that's that's
Speaker 1: not if that's his liability. So I don't know if
Speaker 1: he comes back or not. I don't know who your
Speaker 1: coordinator is going to be. We might we're gonna we're
Speaker 1: gonna get into a lot of that tomorrow with the
Speaker 1: guards to the coaches. We're gonna need we might need
Speaker 1: to do more shows than you would anticipate. I just
Speaker 1: feel like there's a lot of moving parts, like we're
Speaker 1: not going into the off season like well, this is
Speaker 1: what we've got, and these are the guys that will
Speaker 1: be here, Like we could be dealing with some drastic
Speaker 1: changes over the next week or so. And there certainly
Speaker 1: are reports out there that are swirling, which happens when
Speaker 1: you lose in the playoffs first round. They are going
Speaker 1: to be those kinds of reports. We'll get into some
Speaker 1: of that stuff tomorrow because I thought we have a
Speaker 1: lot of answers, like we can sit and know about it,
Speaker 1: but it's like, okay, what's the answer then you know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: a good punt of questions that we won't find out
Speaker 1: until well, you never know, you never know how quickly
Speaker 1: things can start moving around here too. Well, the good
Speaker 1: thing is we got something to talk about, so I
Speaker 1: never I'm like, you gotta get, you gotta get and
Speaker 1: y'all know better than me. You've got to get the
Speaker 1: NFC title game. What is that exactly? You gotta get
Speaker 1: there at some point for me to believe that it's
Speaker 1: gonna happen. So like, even at the highest of high
Speaker 1: of this season, I don't think I legitimately believe that
Speaker 1: they could reach that level just because they haven't done it.
Speaker 1: I definitely thought that they were. They were a divisional
Speaker 1: round team, like this was a team that I thought
Speaker 1: was good enough to get where the other ones have gone.
Speaker 1: And they weren't even that good. They weren't even good
Speaker 1: enough to go one and one in the postseason like
Speaker 1: the Owen one with some of the highs we saw
Speaker 1: from this team. Owen one is just a Dak said
Speaker 1: it himself. I'm not even I'm not even calling him out.
Speaker 1: Dak said it himself. They underachieved this year. Yeah they did.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anybody that can that can question
Speaker 1: that they did. All right, uh, real quick, before we
Speaker 1: end this year, I do want to say to all
Speaker 1: you guys that are out there listening, and Nick mentioned
Speaker 1: you guys, but I want to mention you because it
Speaker 1: means a lot to us that you guys through an
Speaker 1: entire season, and really this starts in the off season.
Speaker 1: It goes into training camp when we starts gearing up
Speaker 1: and talking about this team every day, and then you
Speaker 1: guys take this ride with us every season and through
Speaker 1: the ups and the downs, you laugh with us, you
Speaker 1: probably cry with us a little bit, but you're definitely
Speaker 1: there with us, and we appreciate you guys taking your
Speaker 1: time every day come and sit in on our shows
Speaker 1: and listening to what we have to say. I ran
Speaker 1: into a guy yesterday at the stadium just randomly like
Speaker 1: oh yeah, Derek, and I was like yeah, and we
Speaker 1: talked for a bit and it was just that does
Speaker 1: me good because I know the people out there listening,
Speaker 1: they're willing to take this ride with us. We appreciating
Speaker 1: We don't want you to ever take that for granted.
Speaker 1: We appreciate you taking this ride with us every season,
Speaker 1: and we can't promise the results. What we can promise
Speaker 1: you is that we're gonna get on here every day
Speaker 1: when we're supposed to get on here, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about it, and we're gonna hopefully entertain you while
Speaker 1: we keep you informed about this team. And that's what
Speaker 1: we try to do, and so we appreciate you doing
Speaker 1: it with us. I think the whole night, Like the
Speaker 1: whole night last night, I love being like the conduit
Speaker 1: for information for people that care about this team, Like
Speaker 1: it's what it's your hobby, it's your passion, it's your life,
Speaker 1: and it's awesome that I get to help you do that.
Speaker 1: And like the ole last night in the press box,
Speaker 1: I was just like, how do we sell this to him? Nick? Like,
Speaker 1: how do we? How do we? It's all it's like
Speaker 1: your disappointed parents or something. You're like, how do I
Speaker 1: explain that I wrecked the car? Right? How do I
Speaker 1: explain that they lost again? I just I don't know
Speaker 1: how to do it. I mean, and I said it before,
Speaker 1: I just they are they were. I mean I feel
Speaker 1: like the like the late Denny Green said it, even
Speaker 1: though he's like they are who they thought we were,
Speaker 1: you know, but I didn't. I didn't think they were
Speaker 1: this way. I didn't see it. I wanted to see
Speaker 1: differently and I didn't I and I feel like in
Speaker 1: a way, I feel like broad us here by saying this,
Speaker 1: I kind of like failed the fans because I kept
Speaker 1: saying yes. I kept saying, hey, no, they're gonna win,
Speaker 1: and I said it, they're gonna beat the forty nine
Speaker 1: ers four nineers could have been nine and eight. But
Speaker 1: I didn't see it, and I didn't want to see it.
Speaker 1: That's the thing. I didn't want to see it. But
Speaker 1: they showed us who they were all year and by
Speaker 1: they kept showing us. We just refused to believe. I refused.
Speaker 1: I do apologize times. Yeah, that's myself credit. It kind
Speaker 1: of sounds like you are well. I got so much
Speaker 1: crap from people saying you're downer, blah blah blah. My dude,
Speaker 1: I get on here and I talked about what I
Speaker 1: feel like I see on the field. So I'm just
Speaker 1: saying I there were times where I was taking myself
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl, but there were times where I'm
Speaker 1: like this, ain't it so you both this season? Rights,
Speaker 1: It's been on both. It's so true though, like go,
Speaker 1: I mean on Friday, I don't remember exactly what I said,
Speaker 1: but like I didn't want to. I didn't want to
Speaker 1: pick him. I didn't want to, but I was just like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to be the guy that didn't hop
Speaker 1: on board if they do catch fire, like if they
Speaker 1: do play up to their potential, I don't want to
Speaker 1: be the guy that thought they couldn't do it. And
Speaker 1: our first instinct turned out to be the right one, unfortunately.
Speaker 1: But enjoy the ride. Yeah, he so fun. But you know, honestly,
Speaker 1: I still as much as I hated it last night,
Speaker 1: and I woke up this morning feeling awful because I
Speaker 1: always do when this moment comes. The fact is I
Speaker 1: still had some very enjoyable moments this season watching this
Speaker 1: team play, and so it was a joy to every
Speaker 1: Sunday watch Michael Parson's play football, Like I got some
Speaker 1: pleasure out of watching. So yes, you have to enjoy
Speaker 1: the ride. That's a part of being a fan as well.
Speaker 1: And it's extremely disappointed, I was telling you before we
Speaker 1: went on the air, like I got it both ways.
Speaker 1: My college team and my pro team both Like they
Speaker 1: just disappoint me. That's what they do. They try to
Speaker 1: disappoint me. They look for opportunities to disappoint me. But
Speaker 1: if you don't enjoy the ride, it's the point of
Speaker 1: being a fan, right, It's no fun if you can't
Speaker 1: enjoy it, And that's part of the ride, even if
Speaker 1: it doesn't get where you wanted to go. Ultimately, that's
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen next year. I mean, they're gonna have
Speaker 1: some good moments and bad moments, and everything's gonna be
Speaker 1: compared to the playoffs. But I mean, if if you can't,
Speaker 1: if you can't enjoy it, that you're right, Like you said,
Speaker 1: what are we doing? Like like, we're gonna get to
Speaker 1: a Thanksgiving and it's gonna be fun. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: fest of whatever. Hopefully we're back to normalcy, you know,
Speaker 1: not wearing masks and full press box and all that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. But you're not gonna sit there and
Speaker 1: be like, well this doesn't matter, good win. But it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Once once I started, I wouldn't be here
Speaker 1: this long. If I'm ready to retire, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do something else. We wouldn't. We wouldn't do it
Speaker 1: for this long. So it sucks. But I mean when
Speaker 1: the draft show stop so many I'm ready. I mean,
Speaker 1: I got so many emails guard centers. Let's go this
Speaker 1: morning of people complaining about how many years since though,
Speaker 1: what is it? Eighty? For years and years and we're
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two now and they're still writing emails,
Speaker 1: they're still in it, and I'm like, damn, y'all want
Speaker 1: to speak. I mean, I do it every year. I'll
Speaker 1: do it again. It being a fan, you don't choose it.
Speaker 1: It chooses you. It chooses you. You you want you.
Speaker 1: They're like, I don't want to be cows. I'm done,
Speaker 1: b f s, you will be there again, all right.
Speaker 1: I'll just say I'll go, I'll go with the bull
Speaker 1: and that's it. BFS, you will be here again because
Speaker 1: the cowboy fandom, it chooses you. Cowboy. You don't want
Speaker 1: to do it. It It pisses you off. You're done. You're
Speaker 1: gonna throw it away. You'll be dusting it off in
Speaker 1: a little bit, and that's who you are, and embrace it.
Speaker 1: It sucks right now. But man, the real ones, they've
Speaker 1: been through worse than this. True. True. I hate when
Speaker 1: someone says I've been a fancy nineteen seventy four or whatever,
Speaker 1: and I'm done. I'm like, nineteen eighty nine. Where were you,
Speaker 1: you were here, you could have dusted this thing off
Speaker 1: a long time if you've been a fan since nineteen
Speaker 1: seventy four. Yeah, like the eighties were way worse than
Speaker 1: anything we're dealing, right, So you know it sucks, and
Speaker 1: you have a right too. You have right to be
Speaker 1: pissed off. You should be. But yeah, stay with us
Speaker 1: because we're gonna we're gonna do it again. Yeah, we're
Speaker 1: gonna get on the horse and we're gonna do it again.
Speaker 1: And that's that's what we do. We're gonna find some
Speaker 1: damn offensive arm that's your job, Dave, go find us
Speaker 1: some offensive lineman. You brought us to Kavanaugh Kyle. All right,
Speaker 1: we appreciate you, guys, john us. We'll be back tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Till then for Nick even Dave elm and Ambergarcia. I
Speaker 1: am Derek Yelton. This has been The Break live on
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio. This has been a production
Speaker 1: of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
