00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

2
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:10,399
Speaker 2: Cowboys.

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: This is Cowboys Storyline presented by Gillette, the official shave

5
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: of the Dallas Cowboys. Here's Nick Eatman.

6
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 2: Hello and welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It's Monday, October twenty seventh.

7
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 2: Cowboys fall to the Denver Broncos on Sunday, forty four

8
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: to twenty four. Not a game that I was expecting, obviously.

9
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 2: I really thought the Cowboys would play way better. I

10
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 2: thought the Cowboys would would control the game and win

11
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 2: by two scores. Totally wrong on that one. Denver was

12
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: way better than Dallas. The Cowboys could not handle the

13
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 2: I don't know about the altitude. I don't know about that,

14
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 2: but they certainly couldn't handle the mile high crowd in Denver.

15
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: Too many penalties before the snap, and they just couldn't

16
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: handle the pressure of you know, these winning consecutive games.

17
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 2: That's what you have to do in the NFL, you

18
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: got those stack wins together. You got to handle success

19
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: as much as anything else. And they definitely did not.

20
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 2: Very very tough loss. Tough loss and disappointing loss just

21
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 2: because you know, you know, the defense has its problems,

22
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: and I'm not giving them a pass, but they have

23
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: their issues, and at this point, the offense just has

24
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 2: to be perfect, and they weren't at all. In the

25
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: offensive line looks like a you know, like a problem.

26
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: You know that that's that's kind of formulating when you're

27
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: going up against some really good, aggressive defensive fronts. We've

28
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 2: seen them have some success, but when they when they

29
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: get beat in the middle, they really can't do hardly anything.

30
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: Ferguson's not factor, Javonte Williams is not a factor, and

31
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: they can't really open it up to the outside. So

32
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: all right, let's let's talk about it. Eight eight eight

33
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 2: five five two to nine seven is the number to

34
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 2: call Chris. Let's get let's start with the phone calls.

35
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: I don't I don't have it in front of me.

36
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: Just let's get it started. Let's go ierwin.

37
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 3: What's up, hey, Nick, how's it going to you?

38
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 4: Guys?

39
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 2: Morning to you?

40
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 5: Yeah?

41
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 3: What a complete disaster. I mean, it just didn't look

42
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 3: like they were prepared to play.

43
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 6: Then.

44
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 3: You they had to have known they were going and

45
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 3: playing the best defense in the NFL. The offense, I mean,

46
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 3: they made they made so Nicks looked like he was

47
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 3: Tom Brady. I mean, it's just an embarrassment. Really, uh,

48
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 3: and you know, just a couple more things. I'll let

49
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 3: you go, and thanks for taking my call, but you know,

50
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 3: I was really on board. I spoke with you last

51
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 3: week about the Cowboys possibly, you know, everything still on

52
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 3: the table by the trade. At this point, the defense

53
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 3: needs so much, so much that I don't think a

54
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 3: player like Crosby or anybody like that would come in

55
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 3: and really, you know, do anything to help that defense.

56
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 3: I think right now what the Cowboys need to do,

57
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 3: and you know, is just stick with their draft picks

58
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 3: next two years, just go all defense, try to rebuild

59
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 3: that defense, because I'll tell you I will take an

60
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 3: outstanding defense any day over an outstanding offense. And I'm

61
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 3: not taking any shots at our offense. But we can

62
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 3: look back at history, and you know, with the Ravens,

63
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 3: remember when Ray Lewis and that defense was just incredible

64
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 3: and their offense was just okay. I think it was

65
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 3: Trent Dilferd was a quarterback, and basically all they wanted

66
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 3: them to do was don't screw up anything and will

67
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 3: win this game if the offense will scored a touchdown

68
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 3: or ten points, they pretty much were going to win

69
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 3: that game. So I don't know, I don't know what

70
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 3: you think about it that. I mean talking to my son,

71
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 3: we were watching the game, and he was like, honestly,

72
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 3: it looked like the Denver Broncos were a professional team

73
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 3: with they all and the way the Cowboys looked, they

74
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 3: looked like a Division one or Division two college team.

75
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 3: That's how terrible. I loved it. And on top of that,

76
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 3: they have players playing out of position rating playing safety.

77
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 3: You know, it's I don't know, I don't know what

78
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 3: you think about all that.

79
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 2: It's just wow, all right, thanks for the call eran.

80
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 2: I know that you said it last week that it

81
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 2: was emotional for you personally, so then you could tell

82
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 2: that in the call probably, you know, I don't know

83
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 2: if everyone's about ready to jump off the ledge like that.

84
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, it was a tough one. It was, I mean,

85
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: no doubt about it, tough tough loss. I don't agree

86
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: with the part about the trade. I mean to say

87
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 2: that an all Pro player can't help this team. Uh

88
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 2: you know, I don't agree with that at all, But

89
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: uh yeah, I think I don't even know if they

90
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 2: need that that good of player, but they definitely need

91
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,119
Speaker 2: some help. And I think that game was proved proved

92
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 2: to me that you have to go do something. I would.

93
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 2: I would definitely go make a trade today, tomorrow and whatever,

94
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 2: figure out a way to get some help in here.

95
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: I would. Yeah, I was. You know, I've been saying

96
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 2: it all along, but I think that that that game

97
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 2: right there approves to me that, yeah, you definitely need

98
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,119
Speaker 2: to to go and and add some help to this team.

99
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 2: I know people disagree with that, but you know, we're

100
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 2: gonna be watching these next nine games and I don't

101
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 2: want to watch that anymore. So, uh, that's that's part

102
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: of my reason that they're all right. Pete in Connecticut's next,

103
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 2: Good morning, Nick, How are you good? How are you?

104
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 7: Oh?

105
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 5: You know, it is what it is. I just I

106
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 5: just feel like the Cowboys need to blitz or do

107
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 5: something to get that defense going, because it's reminding me,

108
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 5: like every year in and year out, every time we

109
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 5: play a team that shows a little bit of toughness,

110
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 5: we just crumble on defense. It's the same as the

111
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 5: Bears game. And you know, it's just very frustrating to

112
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 5: watch and bo Nick's all that time in the world yesterday,

113
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 5: you know, and I just we got to do something

114
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 5: on defense. I don't know if it's the coordinator or

115
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 5: if it's the players. I hate to think it's players

116
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 5: because they played well in previous seasons, but we just

117
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 5: can't get to the quarterback. And it's frustrating to watch

118
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 5: when you know, bow Knicks had four or five seconds

119
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 5: in the pocket a multiple game, and I just we

120
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 5: got to do something. So that's my only comment.

121
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 2: I agree. I totally agree, Thanks Pete, thanks for the call.

122
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 2: You know, the pass rush, We've been saying it forever,

123
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 2: I mean, but it uh well forever this season because

124
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 2: the pass rush has been good in previous years. But

125
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 2: these guys there's just nobody. There's nobody on this pass

126
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 2: rush that does anything, you know, at least consistently. You

127
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 2: might see somebody every once in a while get a win,

128
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 2: but it's not even to the point where I mean,

129
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 2: you didn't get a sack yesterday, got a little bit

130
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 2: of pressure, I mean a couple of pressures every now

131
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: and again, but I mean not consistently. And and you

132
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: know bow Knicks solid player, right, but that made him

133
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 2: look better than that. I mean he tried to tell

134
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 2: you what he was early in the you know, first

135
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 2: drive of the game. You know, I mean they through

136
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 2: an interception to a guy that probably shouldn't even be playing,

137
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,679
Speaker 2: I mean traqueasy bridges. I mean he gets the pick

138
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 2: and and you think, all right, you know this is

139
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: kind of this is this is where you know the

140
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 2: Cowboys can be today. You know they can, they can

141
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 2: they can win this game. They can beat this guy,

142
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 2: and they didn't take advantage of that. But you know,

143
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 2: all just the entire game, I mean, they can't stop

144
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 2: the run consistently inside outside. It's just five six yards

145
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 2: of pop. It's six yards of pop, is what it is?

146
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 2: Not five, it's six yards of pop every single time.

147
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 2: Giving up big plays. There's about, i don't know, twelve

148
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 2: to thirteen like explosive plays in the game. That's just

149
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 2: that's just double what what normally should be. So yeah,

150
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 2: I feel like just something. Yeah, I agree with you.

151
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 2: Something has to be done. I mean, you have nine

152
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 2: games left in this season, so I'm just not to

153
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 2: the point to say, well, just you know, don't do anything.

154
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 2: Can't do anything. Seasons. I mean, you're not even at

155
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 2: the halfway point of the season. And you have a

156
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: good thing going for the most part. In offense, offense

157
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 2: isn't perfect, but you have a good thing going. I

158
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 2: still feel like there's a way to to fix it

159
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 2: and to try to, you know, play complimentary football, as

160
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 2: with Denver did Denver plays complimentary football. The Cowboys don't,

161
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 2: I mean at all. And I mean when it's when

162
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 2: they're great on offense and bad on defense, they have

163
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 2: a chance though, when you know, but when they're average

164
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 2: on offense and bad on defense, I mean, you're gonna

165
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 2: get be by twenty every single time. Josh in New Mexico's.

166
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 8: Next, what's going on going?

167
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 2: Hey, how are you doing good?

168
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 9: Well?

169
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 8: I'm all right, but all the storyliners, you know, I've

170
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 8: listened every day. Can't really call as much, got work

171
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 8: and stuff, but yeah, try to call when I can.

172
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 2: Well, I appreciate it.

173
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 8: I want to say I'm glad that we did not

174
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 8: use any of our first round picks to get Max

175
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 8: Crosby because there's a lot more holes on this defense

176
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 8: then people think. So I'm glad we should I think

177
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 8: we should just hold on to those and see what

178
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,719
Speaker 8: we can do in the draft. But I just want

179
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 8: to say, don't give up yet still halfway through the season,

180
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 8: like you said, so it's got a lot of time

181
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 8: to play. Maybe some good additions, not great, something to

182
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 8: fix the defense overall. I just thought the team lost

183
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 8: the game as soon as we didn't score that touchdown

184
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 8: after interception.

185
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I mean that those two, those two

186
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 2: back to back possessions. Thanks, thanks for the call, Josh,

187
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 2: those two. I mean, when you lose by twenty, I

188
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 2: mean it is it's tough to kind of pinpoint a

189
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 2: few plays. You know, you guys and probably seen it,

190
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 2: have done it for several years that the five plays.

191
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: Don't forget these five plays, and when the game gets

192
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 2: out of hand like that, I mean, it kind of

193
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 2: makes all of the plays a little bit insignificant. But

194
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 2: the first drive for the Cowboys offense, there's I mean, again,

195
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not trying to talk bad about the officials.

196
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 2: Cowboys got blown out in the game. So let's just

197
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 2: let's just call it what it is. I've gone back

198
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 2: to watch that that sequence there, and there's some some

199
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 2: things that I had a problem with. Number One, Ceedee

200
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 2: Lamb catches, the ball goes out of bounds. It's the

201
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 2: closest thing to to to us in the press box.

202
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 2: I mean that that spot is the closest thing we

203
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 2: can see, so we have a really really good view

204
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 2: of that. Just from the view, I'm just like, Wow,

205
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 2: that's that's a big play. Almost scores. That's going to

206
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 2: be first and goal from the one. Nope, they they

207
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 2: put it back like on the four, and I went,

208
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 2: oh that. I thought it was closer to the one

209
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 2: the way he stretched out back and look at it

210
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 2: again again, it should have been probably at least the

211
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 2: two or three. So first and goal at the one.

212
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: Javont gets a couple of yards, gets to the one

213
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 2: second goal. False start on the center is what they say. Center.

214
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 2: How's that a false start? That they changed it to

215
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 2: Tyler Smith? Okay, So I go back and watch it

216
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 2: right there, and I'm like, I don't see the false start.

217
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 2: Maybe they meant Guitton and I'm looking, and I mean

218
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 2: I'm looking for like seven or eight times. I still

219
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 2: don't see a false start. I don't know who they

220
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 2: called that on. I don't know, but it was huge

221
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 2: play because then it pushed back to the six. The

222
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 2: Cowboys can't do anything with that, and you know, and

223
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 2: they end up getting a field goal. Then the next

224
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 2: drive they're off the field. They're off the field. On

225
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 2: a third down play, they show a little pass you know,

226
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 2: pass rush with I believe it was clowning around the

227
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 2: edge and he almost gets there. And then and then

228
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 2: Bland knocks the ball away and like, oh wow, okay,

229
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 2: it's a big time. Soot's two stops in a row.

230
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 2: Now they got to pick and then a stop, way

231
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 2: to go, way to go defense. No, James Houston's lined

232
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 2: up off sides, which you know, there's the ball, be

233
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 2: behind it. I mean, I've never rushed to the passer,

234
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 2: but I mean I just feel like, is it that hard?

235
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 2: I mean, there's the ball. Why are you lined up

236
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 2: off sides? It just makes no sense. Then they go

237
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 2: and then and then how they respond from that is

238
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 2: a quick touchdown by Denver. Then they just open the floodgates.

239
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: So do those two possessions change anything? Yeah, they actually do.

240
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 2: They do change some things. We're talking about eleven points eleven.

241
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 2: It's eleven point swing there from you know, being up seven,

242
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 2: you know, seven nothing and and and and then getting

243
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 2: the ball, you know, and then the next thing you know,

244
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 2: that's you're you're down you know, so you're you're down

245
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 2: by four when you should be up by seven with

246
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 2: the ball and and and then that's how the game,

247
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 2: the flow of the game goes. So yeah, I think

248
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 2: that was big. All right, Kyle in Northern Illinois? What's up, Kyle?

249
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 10: How are we doing today?

250
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 7: Nick?

251
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 2: Are you good to hear from you? First call? All right?

252
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 2: What's that name?

253
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 10: Hey? What do you think that this Iberfluce defense is

254
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 10: working the way it should or do we think that

255
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 10: we need to really change some stuff up?

256
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 2: It's not working? The worst defense in the league by far.

257
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 10: I agree. So do you think going do you think

258
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 10: like going like you know, more manned man coverage and

259
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 10: then blitzing a fifth guy to get pressure on the

260
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 10: quarterback and things like that would be a way to go.

261
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 2: Uh, yes for the most part. And I'll and I'll

262
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 2: take I'll finish this point after the after the call.

263
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 2: I think I think it's a start, but but there's

264
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 2: the caveat there. But I'll let you finish if you

265
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 2: have another point or two.

266
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was just my theory.

267
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 10: Is you know, is it seemed like yes, we against

268
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 10: Silly we did all right zone obviously against the Commanders

269
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 10: last week we did all right, but every game since

270
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 10: then it hasn't worked. So we got to figure out

271
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 10: something different. Here is my theory, in my opinion. But

272
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 10: thanks for taking my call. I'll listen to what you

273
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 10: got to say. I figure off the phone, all.

274
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 2: Right, Thanks Kyle. Good to hear from you, and glad

275
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 2: that you've got your first call in here. You're you're right,

276
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 2: I mean, and whatever you try, it's not always going

277
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 2: to work, but you have to kind of keep you know,

278
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 2: trying it. The first sorry, the second touchdown of the

279
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 2: game for Denver, still first quarter, they get a holding penalty,

280
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 2: so it's first in twenty. Back at the twenty five. Okay,

281
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 2: you're in good shape here on defense, you know, have

282
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 2: a good shot to hold them to a field goal.

283
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 2: It's first in twenty. I believe that is the down

284
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 2: and distance. I want to get this one right because

285
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 2: it is first and twenty. At the twenty five holding call,

286
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 2: they blitzed Marquise Bell. Let's air quote on the blitz

287
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 2: there because he didn't do anything. I mean, he here,

288
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 2: he here, he comes off the edge and he's just

289
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 2: picked up by a running back and he you know,

290
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 2: it's a delay blitz at that and then he gets

291
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 2: hit by the running back and he's not doing anything

292
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 2: and therefore, I mean it's a blitz and nothing happened,

293
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 2: and that's even more time for Nicks to stand in

294
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 2: there and find Franklin right over the middle for the

295
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 2: touchdown at the at the end zone. So I'm the

296
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 2: first one that's like, man, we need to see some

297
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 2: more blitzes here. He got a blitz, gott a blitz, Okay,

298
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 2: but you got to get home. Can't just blitz the

299
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 2: blitz And you can't. I don't know about the delay blitzing.

300
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 2: I don't think that does anything.

301
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 6: But.

302
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 2: So that that that was a problem there. So I'm

303
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 2: with you that they need to figure out ways to

304
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 2: dial up pressure. But it's gotta work. You can't just

305
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 2: blitz the blitz because that that's not one hundred effective.

306
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 2: And we saw that. That's just one example. But we

307
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 2: saw that too, so you know, they got to be

308
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 2: even more creative. I don't think the answer is just

309
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 2: blitz more because that that'll lead to touchdowns too. All right,

310
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 2: Rob in Vegas is next?

311
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 4: Hey Nick?

312
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 2: Hey, Rob?

313
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it was awful. I shut the game

314
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 4: off at halftime and turned on the hockey game. Uh,

315
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 4: it's just cool we saw coming.

316
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, no, I didn't. I didn't you you

317
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 2: might have. I did not see it coming. I thought

318
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 2: the Cowboys were gonna I thought Denver would not be

319
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 2: able to win that back to back games like that.

320
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 2: I thought Dallas would would have.

321
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 4: I think, as a fan, you don't want to see it.

322
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 4: I know I don't want to see it. But we

323
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 4: don't beat good teams. I mean, look at its fishy.

324
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 4: I mean, we've beat the worst teams in the league.

325
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 4: We're a bad team.

326
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 10: You know.

327
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 4: We talk about the Jets and we're right with them.

328
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm hearing call to say we should save

329
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 4: our draft picks and just use him, not go after

330
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 4: Max Crosby because he couldn't help this team.

331
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 11: And I'm like, what are you talking about?

332
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 4: All Pro probably the top five, and you don't trust

333
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 4: that guy to help you. But you trust a guy

334
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 4: in the draft he's never played in the NFL is

335
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 4: going to be the savior. That is the most ridiculous thing. Uh,

336
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 4: especially with the track record of this team drafting defensive linements.

337
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 4: You know, Micah was drafted as a linebacker, So no,

338
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 4: you you make a move. And plus it's not going

339
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 4: to be a rental. It's going to be for three

340
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 4: four years, so that that's ridiculous. If you can do it,

341
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 4: you do it. You may not. You may not win

342
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 4: it this year. You may not you know, feel the

343
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 4: full impact.

344
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 10: But it's a piece you need.

345
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 4: I'd rather have that piece than an unknown piece.

346
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 6: Uh.

347
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 4: The offense I thought was bad. I got the play

348
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 4: calling on the goal line and on short yardage was bad.

349
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 4: You know this coach, he talks a good game and

350
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 4: he keep saying, we want to be physical. If you

351
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 4: don't try to be You got a running back that

352
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 4: is running hard. He runs hot on every play, and

353
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 4: yet you don't give him a chance at the goal line.

354
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 4: There was a third and one when you try to

355
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 4: get cute and swing out a pass that got tipped.

356
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 4: It's like, what are you doing? You know? I just

357
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 4: thought I thought it reminded me of the Chicago game

358
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 4: when we didn't score on the goal line, when we

359
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 4: had the opportunity to get up early. We got a

360
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 4: gift with that reception. We're asking the defense that people

361
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 4: talk about blitzing. If you had great cornerbacks, you could blitz.

362
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 4: We don't have anything. We don't have great cornerbacks, we

363
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 4: don't have no pass rush whatsoever. So then you try

364
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 4: to manufacture something and Boonick still has too much time.

365
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 4: I don't know how you help the team, but if

366
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 4: you could get an All Pro player, it matters. That's

367
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 4: all this league is about. Has the best player. Yeah,

368
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 4: we just don't have enough of them.

369
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 2: I agree with you there, Rob, Thanks thank you for

370
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 2: the call. You know, no, no disrespect to anyone else's opinions.

371
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 2: And I get it. And there's there's a lot to

372
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 2: this and and and it's not just about acquiring, it's

373
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 2: how much do you have to give up for it?

374
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 2: Sounds like, you know, there's been reports the Cowboys did

375
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 2: call and inquire about about a couple of players, and

376
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 2: whether or not that's true, and it's always, you know,

377
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 2: kind of hard to speculate on those kind of things.

378
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 2: So you don't want to give up the farm for things.

379
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm one hundred percent looking at at the

380
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 2: Cowboys adding players here. And that's like I said before,

381
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 2: because because I'm looking at this this schedule, I see it.

382
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 2: I mean they're three four and one, there's nine games left,

383
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 2: nine games left in the season. This is this is

384
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 2: exactly where they were. You know, just what seven years ago,

385
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 2: in seven years twenty eighteen when they traded for Amari

386
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 2: Cooper didn't seem that long ago. It was seven years

387
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 2: but there were three and five and out of three

388
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 2: four and one. So I mean, this is kind of

389
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 2: where they are. And you know, that team was different.

390
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 2: That team was worse than this team, I think, because

391
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 2: I don't think that did that team did anything like

392
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 2: really well, this this team does. I mean their offense,

393
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 2: you know, it has some flaws, but I mean it

394
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 2: does do some things well. I know that this is

395
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 2: not like a great stat or anything like that. I'm

396
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 2: not trying to like pump sunshine into this, but I

397
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,239
Speaker 2: mean I saw the Cowboys score the other you know,

398
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 2: they scored in the fourth quarter. And it's twenty consecutive

399
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 2: quarters that they've scored in this you know, including overtime

400
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 2: and all that, going back to the first quarter of

401
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 2: the Packers game. Since then, they've scored something in every

402
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 2: quarter and no team in the NFL has done that. Again,

403
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to tell you how things are great.

404
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 2: What I'm saying is is this offense has a little

405
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 2: bit of consistency to it, or they're they're gonna score,

406
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 2: They're gonna do something. It's not enough. Sometimes it's field goals,

407
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 2: and that's not enough to win with this defense. But

408
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 2: twenty consecutive quarters shows that give them chance. They're they're

409
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 2: gonna they're gonna do something, They're gonna score. It's something

410
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 2: to work with, that's all I'm saying. It's something to

411
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 2: work with. And they just need guys on defense. And

412
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 2: I said this on the radio this morning, one five,

413
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 2: three the fan, and I'll say it again. Are they

414
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 2: one player away from?

415
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 11: What?

416
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 2: I mean? People keep asking that, Well, this team is

417
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 2: not just one player away. Even Jerry said it. You know,

418
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know if we're one player away,

419
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 2: but one player away from what a championship. Okay, no,

420
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 2: this isn't Charles Haley type situation. But one player away

421
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 2: from from getting off the field. Yeah, they are. They

422
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 2: are one really good player away from getting off the

423
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 2: field and getting a few stops. And that's to me,

424
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 2: all that you need right now, just right now, with

425
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 2: nine games to go, you got to get off the

426
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 2: field on defense, get off the field. You can give

427
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 2: me four or five stops a game, stop them on

428
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 2: third down or stop them on second down on second

429
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 2: eight instead of them, you know, getting six seven yards,

430
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 2: you make a stop and it's third and eleven, third

431
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 2: and twelve, then you can get off the field. It's

432
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 2: not just third downs, it's first and second downs too.

433
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 2: But I mean, because they only had eight third down

434
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 2: conversions five of eight, I mean most teams are getting twelve, thirteen,

435
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 2: maybe fifteen, you know third downs. This team only got

436
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 2: eight yesterday, So I mean it was a problem all

437
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 2: over the place. But yeah, I think they are one

438
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 2: player away from getting stops. And it's a deep and

439
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 2: if your offense wasn't as good as they are, then

440
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 2: you know, I would say, is that really gonna matter?

441
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 2: But in this case, yeah it does, because not only

442
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 2: do you stop them and get the ball back, but

443
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 2: if you make a stop, especially back in their own end,

444
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 2: then I mean think about where you're getting the football.

445
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 2: So I think this defense is a player away from

446
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 2: being successful enough to really help your offense do what

447
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 2: it needs to do. That's my stance on it. I

448
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 2: know people disagree, and that's fine, and it just depends

449
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 2: on what you have to give up. I think everybody

450
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,239
Speaker 2: would love to see a player in here, but just

451
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,199
Speaker 2: what do you have to give up for it? And

452
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,880

Speaker 2: of the Week, brought to you by Gillette. Joe Milton.

489
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 2: Joe Milton comes off the bench. Those four passes, three,

490
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 2: three completions, one for a touchdown. I mean, you know

491
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 2: who else who else could it? Could it be? You know,

492
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 2: who else did their job? And that's something that that

493
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 2: Schottenheimer talked about. Uh he said, you know, he's he

494
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,959
Speaker 2: said that he told the team, if anyone did their

495
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 2: job today, raise their hand and step forward. I mean,

496
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 2: who had a great game? So based off that kind

497
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 2: of tough to to pick anyone other than you know, kicker,

498
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 2: the snapper, the punter, I guess, but your backup quarterbacks

499
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 2: out there all day long. And then I'm not, you know,

500
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 2: not saying I was a big fan of pulling back,

501
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 2: but you know, you have to kind of call it

502
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 2: what it is. And and uh, you know, at that

503
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 2: point in the game they put in Joe Milton. He

504
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 2: goes down and throw the nice, nice pass to Jalen

505
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 2: Tolbert and got his feet in for a touchdown. And hey,

506
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 2: I mean at least they they extended that streak of

507
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 2: consecutive consecutive quarters with the score. So, you know what,

508
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 2: not a lot to pick from today. So Gillette's Posision

509
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 2: Player of the Week Joe Milton. All right, let's go

510
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 2: to Keith in the front of the Dana Beach, Florida.

511
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 9: Good morning, Nick, How are you good?

512
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 2: How are you doing?

513
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 5: Doing great?

514
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 9: I tell you you have pretty much said everything that

515
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 9: I wanted to say this morning. You're absolutely right. You

516
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 9: know when when they talk about you know, your one

517
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,640
Speaker 9: player away, two players away, we're we we need good

518
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 9: players and I don't care how we get them. But

519
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 9: for the pass rush, I don't think you're going to

520
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 9: pick somebody up off the street. I think you're going

521
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 9: to have to to give some resources to get that.

522
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 9: And there's going to be several teams that are going

523
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 9: to be selling them the next week or so. And

524
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 9: within those teams, there's got to be a pass rusher

525
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 9: that we can possibly get. And that's where it all starts.

526
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 9: I mean, I don't care if you're running a three

527
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 9: four four three Tampa two, even the forty six defense

528
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 9: the Bears ran in the eighties, it doesn't matter. If

529
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 9: you don't have people putting pressure on the quarterback and

530
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 9: speeding everything up, then you're going to get what we're

531
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 9: getting right now. And that's really all I have to say,

532
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 9: thank you, Nick.

533
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 2: Thank you Keith. Appreciate that. You know, there's a double

534
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 2: problem going on here. I mean, they're they just they

535
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 2: don't they can't dial up any pressure. They can't. They

536
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 2: don't have guys that are winning one on one battles.

537
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 2: They're not. They're not doing that. Dante Fowler, this isn't

538
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 2: This isn't the foulor that you know we saw that

539
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 2: year with what and with Washington, or even the year

540
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 2: before that with the Cowboys. I mean, just he's just

541
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 2: not winning. Sam Williams doesn't went off the line, and

542
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 2: James Houston, I mean had had a couple of nice,

543
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 2: nice wins, you know, early on in the season, but

544
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 2: he hasn't really given you much. Marshaw, Neeland Clowney. I

545
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 2: mean they just yesterday they didn't. I mean they did

546
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,199
Speaker 2: a little bit in Washington, and they've done some stuff

547
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 2: in some other games, but this particular game, they they

548
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 2: didn't at all. So that's a problem over here. Now

549
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 2: back here is safety. I mean, it just it's almost laughable.

550
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 2: But you know, think about what you had, you know

551
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 2: a month ago, you know, five weeks ago, well, donovd Wilson,

552
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 2: Malie Cooker, a couple of veterans safeties back there. They're

553
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 2: not the best. I mean I know that, but they're

554
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 2: pretty good. I mean they're when they went, they're solid.

555
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 2: At least we're not in the game. I mean I

556
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 2: are for for Hooker and uh he should be getting

557
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 2: back soon with a toe injury. But Donva Wilson was

558
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 2: out one Nay Thomas is your backup. A lot of

559
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 2: people wanted to play instead of Donova Wilson and he's out,

560
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 2: not really sure the nature of his injury right now.

561
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 2: And then, you know, so you play a guy named

562
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 2: Elijah Clark. I'll be honest with you, man, I this

563
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 2: isn't I'm gonna I'm gonna kind of tell a story

564
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 2: on myself here because this just goes to show how

565
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 2: much we've seen of Elijah Clark. I thought he spelled

566
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,719
Speaker 2: his name with an E. Honestly, I thought that's how

567
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 2: he spelled Elijah. I was a little surprised to see

568
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 2: it that's spelled that way. It's not and that's not

569
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 2: Actually that's not a good story for for me as

570
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 2: a as a as a journalist. But I'm just saying

571
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 2: I haven't I don't I didn't know much about him.

572
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 2: I know thirty eight from Syracuse. He's over here starting

573
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 2: and then he gets hurting, he's out. So it's like, guys,

574
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 2: did did you know Corey Ballentine was on practice squad?

575
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 2: And then now he's on Now he's about to play,

576
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 2: and then they ended up going with Reddy Stewart, who's

577
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 2: really a corner. He's he's playing safety. So I'm just saying,

578
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 2: you got you got issues here at safety you don't

579
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 2: even know. I mean, you're you're getting guys that probably

580
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 2: are fortunate to even be in the NFL, and they're

581
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 2: having to play for you, and then they're playing on

582
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 2: the back end of a defense that has no pass

583
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 2: rush on the front end. You say all that, and

584
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 2: you're kind of surprised that the Broncos just scored forty four.

585
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 2: I mean, seriously, Josh and Princeton.

586
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 3: Hey, Nick, good morning.

587
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:41,479
Speaker 2: How are you doing.

588
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 15: I'm gonna keep I'm doing good.

589
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 3: I'm gonna keep it short and sweet. I haven't been

590
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 3: listening to the show, so I don't know what I've

591
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 3: been discussed, but uh, Denver is a is a pretty

592
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 3: good team. Uh, and they got talent on both sides

593
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 3: of the ball. They seen them be well coached. Yeah,

594
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 3: when when they got the end of exception on Denver's

595
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 3: first drive and made it to the one and couldn't

596
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 3: score a touchdown, I knew it was gonna be along

597
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 3: afternoon and I was just leave it there.

598
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks, thanks for the call. You know, I don't

599
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 2: I didn't go that far because maybe I'm just kind

600
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 2: of an optimist a little bit, you know. I looked

601
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 2: at it like, there's two ways you can you can

602
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 2: take that. You're like, why not just go for it?

603
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 2: You know, you go for it, go for the touchdown

604
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 2: because this is a possession you didn't even think you had.

605
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 2: Or you can say just get just get points because

606
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 2: this is a this is not a possession that you

607
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 2: thought you even had, So just just get points out

608
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 2: of it. And I think if they would have they

609
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 2: would have run that play on third down and been stopped.

610
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 2: They probably would have gone for it on fourth down.

611
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 2: From the one that goes back to I guess the

612
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 2: previous caller. No, it was Rob. It was Rob that

613
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 2: that said, you know, they got cute there. Second and

614
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 2: one they did. They they got cute. They threw the

615
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 2: ball up and to pickings and you know, with certain

616
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 2: made the play, I just feel like, and this is

617
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 2: what I tweeted this out. You know, I said, I

618
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 2: would have just told Javonte Williams that that team over

619
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,959
Speaker 2: there did not want you. They let you go. They

620
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 2: didn't think you were good enough to be on their team,

621
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 2: and they wanted JK. Dobbins instead of you. So take

622
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,479
Speaker 2: whatever you want with that. Now here, here you go,

623
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 2: here's the football, Get mad and go run in second one.

624
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 2: They're not stopping him three times in a row there,

625
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 2: They're just not And especially with Tyler Smith and Booker

626
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 2: and those guys, they can move people just enough. Hunter

627
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 2: Lipke can get in there, Joonta run. They're not gonna

628
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 2: stop them every time. There's no way. There's no way.

629
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 2: So and here's another thing. Until the NFL bans this play,

630
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 2: which they will at some point, the touch push is

631
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 2: going away. Okay, I really believe that. But until they

632
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 2: do it, if you're gonna run a quarterback sneak, at

633
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 2: least push him in the back. I mean, at least,

634
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 2: you know, while while cheating is legal, do it push them.

635
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 2: I mean the Cowboys. Cowboys are like jumping to twenty

636
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 2: twenty six already with their quarterback sneak and I mean

637
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 2: they did it in the second quarter where Dak got

638
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 2: no movement at all. Well, it's just like they won't

639
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 2: push him in the back like every other team does.

640
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 2: I don't get that. But you're right. When they didn't

641
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 2: score right there, it was a it was a sign

642
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 2: of what was to come. All right, Big Mo is

643
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 2: in California. Big Mo, Hey, it's up.

644
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 15: Man, It's Big Mo from Cali.

645
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 2: Man, how you doing?

646
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 8: Oh?

647
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 15: I don't know, man, this thing is so disappointing.

648
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 2: Man.

649
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 15: You know, you sit there and you look at that.

650
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 10: Man.

651
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 15: You you know, these guys are running the ball on

652
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 15: you down your throat. These guys are are both playing

653
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 15: these guys right by him. Man, we need some dogs

654
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 15: on this defense.

655
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 6: Man.

656
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 15: You know, at some point, some point, we have to

657
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 15: make a choice to either stop the run or stop

658
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 15: the pass. You got to take some chances, man. Yeah,

659
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 15: he's sitting back here playing this vanilla defense and unpredictable

660
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 15: first down running plays. Man, send in the run blitz right, yeah,

661
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 15: help the front floor out. You know, we got to

662
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,879
Speaker 15: take chances. You know, at this point and last point,

663
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 15: I gotta make man, what the ht double l is up?

664
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 15: What Trayvon did? This is he's been so disappointing this year?

665
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 9: Is he trade day?

666
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 10: At this point?

667
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 15: Where do we go?

668
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 2: Yeah? Thanks big Mo, appreciate that. Thank you for the call.

669
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 2: First time caller, by the way. Go and boy, you

670
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 2: can just hear the frustration, right and his first time

671
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 2: he's called in. But you mean you can just hear

672
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 2: it and and it's here. I mean, the frustration is here.

673
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 2: I mean there's just so many question marks. I mean,

674
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 2: what what's what do you do? What do you do

675
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 2: on this defense? How do you? How do you? How

676
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 2: do you fix it? I mean you know who do you?

677
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 2: Who do you blitz with? I mean Marquis Bell I mean,

678
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 2: I mean I'm not trying to pick on him, but

679
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 2: I mean if you're gonna if you're gonna blitz like that,

680
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 2: I mean, you gotta beat the running back man. You

681
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 2: gotta beat him who's just sitting a sitting duck there.

682
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:17,959
Speaker 2: You got to get around him and put a little

683
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 2: pressure on him. I mean, it was just like he

684
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 2: was there for a high school dance. It was just like, hey, hey,

685
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 2: what's going on? Oh you're doing good? All right? Bow

686
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 2: nixt that touchdown and get around him, do something. I

687
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 2: mean like that. I just thought that was that that

688
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:37,879
Speaker 2: was an unfortunate sign too, because you know, especially when

689
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 2: you when you're sitting there and you know, we don't

690
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 2: have the answer, None of us have the answers, but

691
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 2: we like to think that we do, you know, so

692
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,879
Speaker 2: we sit there and we're like, they need to blitz more. Right,

693
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 2: blitz said that against you know, after the Carolina game, Hey, Washington,

694
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 2: blitz more. Oh cool, Shamar James. Blitzes gets a sack,

695
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 2: knocks their quarterback out of the game, gets a force fumble.

696
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 2: They ended up winning the game, and they had, you know,

697
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 2: four sacks and a couple of them are on the blitz.

698
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 2: You're like, see blitz. And then the next week Denver

699
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:07,800
Speaker 2: they need to blitz And then you see that play

700
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 2: and you're like, hmm, so blitz doesn't always work. Huh No,

701
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 2: it's frustrating. You know, you want your points to work,

702
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 2: and when they don't, then you're like, now what see

703
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 2: how I'm avoiding the Trayvon Diggs question. I don't know,

704
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 2: I really don't. I I like Trayvon. It's been disappointing

705
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 2: season though, for both sides. Because it's almost like they're

706
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,800
Speaker 2: just drawing a line in the sand to be like, see, Trayvon,

707
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 2: this is how we have to do things. You have

708
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 2: to do it like this. If you're not gonna be

709
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 2: on board, then you're not gonna play. And we're not okay,

710
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 2: but this ain't working over here. I mean like, okay,

711
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 2: but are you making a point? Who's who's making the

712
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 2: point here? I mean, he's Trayvon making a point and

713
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 2: it's not working well for him again, But I'm talking

714
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 2: about things that I don't necessarily know about. I don't

715
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 2: know what's going on in his life. I don't know

716
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 2: what's going on personally. I'm not sure how he is physically.

717
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 2: I mean, he was battling a knee injury and he's

718
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 2: and he's come back from that. You know, did he

719
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 2: did he rehabit the right way? I don't know. I

720
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 2: never thought he was going to play that first game.

721
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 2: He played pretty well on a pitch count. I think

722
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 2: when it's when he has to just go cover his guy,

723
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 2: he's not bad. He's actually really good. I'm not forget

724
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 2: not bad. He's really good. He can cover, he can

725
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 2: cover wide receivers. But there's just so much more to it,

726
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 2: and I don't have all the answers to it, and

727
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 2: I don't really know who does. All Right, Jeremy in

728
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,760
Speaker 2: Salt Lake City.

729
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 16: Hey, what's going on?

730
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:48,479
Speaker 2: Hey?

731
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 16: You know I called in to get some answers today.

732
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 2: Man, Well, it's it's Monday.

733
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,399
Speaker 16: Sounds like you're fresh out, huh.

734
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean depends on what the question is, you know.

735
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 2: How about I'm eleven.

736
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know.

737
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 16: Yeah, no, I hear you, man. I'm just I'm so

738
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 16: just just it was so disappointing, right, These kinds of

739
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 16: losses are yeah, they're just after being up and it's

740
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 16: just like this roller coaster we've been. I'm I'm one

741
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 16: that usually would defend the coordinator, you know, because I

742
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 16: mean it's easy to play Monday morning quarterback for all

743
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 16: of us. But I just don't see him trying anything.

744
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 16: I mean, it's like you said, we blitzed, you know.

745
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:43,280
Speaker 16: I don't want him calling defenses to make the fans happy,

746
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 16: you know what I mean. I want him calling defenses

747
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 16: to stop the other Dann team. And it's just like

748
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 16: watching repeatedly, like watching your kid get beat up, you know,

749
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:55,240
Speaker 16: and not being able to do anything.

750
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 2: About it.

751
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 7: You know.

752
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 16: It's just like at some point somebody's got to have

753
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,839
Speaker 16: some pride in what they do, Like you were right

754
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 16: on that blitz, a half assed effort like that, Like

755
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 16: come on, like what are we doing? And seeing CD

756
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 16: on the sideline, you know, just looking up at the

757
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 16: sky and just I could tell what's going through his

758
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 16: head is what's going through the rest of the fans heads,

759
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 16: you know. I mean the offense wasn't you know, where

760
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 16: they where they've been. But I still feel like Dak

761
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 16: was pressing on those picks. Those wouldn't happened if we

762
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 16: wouldn't have been such bad situations defensively, right, you know

763
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 16: what I'm saying. And they're all just trying to do

764
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 16: too much and not having Ferguson with one catch, you know,

765
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 16: didn't even get a lead in the league, and then

766
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 16: doesn't even get a catch. It's like sometimes we just

767
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 16: forget who we are on offense because I think the

768
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 16: defense takes us side of the game. And he's just

769
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:53,320
Speaker 16: sitting there wondering like what am I doing? Like I

770
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 16: just don't see how this gets any better? And well,

771
00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 16: you know, I'm always gonna I'm always gonna be po.

772
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 2: But I hope this isn't positive. Now I get it, Jeremy,

773
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:06,959
Speaker 2: thank you for the call. Now you're you're talking about

774
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 2: CD and what CD's thinking, I like to know too.

775
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 2: Like I went back and watched some of that, some

776
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:18,839
Speaker 2: of the highlights if or plays and the interception over

777
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 2: the middle the past that's not the one to Ferguson.

778
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 2: That was a bad throw by Dak. It was a

779
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 2: bad decision. It's just the worst worst play of the month.

780
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 2: He's had a great, great month. He's been pretty perfect,

781
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 2: and that was that was just an unnecessary throw down

782
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 2: the middle to you, I mean, he wasn't he was

783
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 2: covered short and high. I just don't get it. But

784
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 2: the past the CD, when you go back and look

785
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 2: at it, I don't w I don't even know what

786
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 2: CD's doing. I mean, if you just watch him the

787
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 2: entire way, he's just kind of floating across, not even

788
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 2: looking like like it was almost like it was a

789
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 2: scout team Saturday practice where he's just kind of going

790
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 2: through and he thinks this is a run up the

791
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 2: middle or something. He's not even looking for the past.

792
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 2: He's not even running a route that that was just

793
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 2: absolute miscommunication and I don't want to blame anybody because

794
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 2: you don't know what it is. But I would like

795
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 2: to think that if you're running a route, you should

796
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,240
Speaker 2: expect maybe the ball is going to come your way.

797
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 2: So that was a weird play for sure. And you know,

798
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 2: and they had they were already down pretty pretty big.

799
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 2: But if they would have scored there, you know, he's

800
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:36,760
Speaker 2: still still going to put more pressure on uh on Denver.

801
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 2: But that that kind of killed everything. All right, it's

802
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 2: going to break real quick. I'll be back to get

803
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:41,920

826
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 2: go to the phone on Dylan in Northport, Florida. Dylan,

827
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 2: it's up.

828
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 11: Hey, how's it going good?

829
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 2: You got answers?

830
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 1: Uh?

831
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 11: Nope, I got more questions for you though.

832
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 2: All right?

833
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 11: Yeah, So first off, one outside and my uh halboun

834
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 11: decorations were all deflated this morning, just like the rest

835
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 11: of us out of salt figures. That makes sense. And uh,

836
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 11: I do have a question for you though here, would

837
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 11: you do you think this team is in need of

838
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 11: a defensive rebuild out to this season, like, do they

839
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 11: have any bones? What are the bones of this defense?

840
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're they're broken. I mean they're they're you know,

841
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't, I don't know. You're you're saying, like,

842
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 2: who who's the guy to build around?

843
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 11: Well, they're they're like a pile of goop right now? Right, Yeah,

844
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 11: there's no guy to build around right now. So in

845
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,320
Speaker 11: terms of making a trade, I guess it makes sense

846
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,280
Speaker 11: if you want to say, we need to start somewhere

847
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 11: with somebody who's really really good improvement. At the same time,

848
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 11: you can go even without the injuries, just looking at

849
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 11: all the healthy player before the season started, you can

850
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 11: go position by position and say, huh, that might not

851
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 11: be great there. And you're right about the diaper, the

852
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,360
Speaker 11: diaper disguised. Also with that in mind, I'm almost have

853
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 11: the mindset that I kind of want to see if

854
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 11: there's a market to maybe trade away some players. And

855
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 11: I know you're probably disagree with me there and a

856
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 11: lot of people disagree with me. I'm sure on that,

857
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 11: but they need a lot of players. Well that's that's

858
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 11: the other part of it, right is who is interesting digs?

859
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 11: I think obviously somebody might be able to shop, and

860
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 11: you're not going to have him next year. I'm assuming

861
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 11: he's probably going to be gone. Mazzie made with some

862
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 11: draft bias. You can get a six round pick four

863
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 11: or something like that. Sam Williams, Untap potential, Tolbert, He's

864
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 11: a reliable vet. It's got to be a tough sell.

865
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 11: But it's almost like, do we at least try to

866
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 11: try to sell somebody and just really stack up the

867
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,760
Speaker 11: picks for the defensive rebuild next year? Is even possible?

868
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 11: You know, it's a tough position. And you got to

869
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 11: keep in mind Dak's contract too. You're working within a

870
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,320
Speaker 11: twenty twenty eight timeframe, so it's like, what is the

871
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 11: right answer here? More questions?

872
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 16: I guess well you're.

873
00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 2: Right about that. Dang, thanks for the call. You know

874
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,800
Speaker 2: you mentioned a lot of players. I just I wouldn't

875
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 2: you know, I wouldn't trade or wouldn't imagine anybody that

876
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 2: would want these guys, you know, the Tolvert and Sam

877
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 2: Williams and Mazi and the guys that you know, you're

878
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 2: especially on defense, and your defense is is the worst

879
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 2: in the league, and you got guys that aren't even

880
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 2: starting on this defense. So to answer your question on

881
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 2: who who do you have to kind of build around,

882
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 2: I mean, the guys that you have to build around

883
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 2: are the ones that you paid. I mean, and that's

884
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:32,280
Speaker 2: that's what they did. They paid Osa, they paid Deron Bland.

885
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 2: You know, those guys are not going anywhere. I mean,

886
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 2: that's that's You think you got a pretty good playmaking

887
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 2: defensive bat, you know, a corner and you know you

888
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:47,360
Speaker 2: got a defensive tackle there in Osa, but he hasn't.

889
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 2: He hasn't played that well either this year. He hasn't

890
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 2: made a huge impact, so, you know, and then you'd

891
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:55,720
Speaker 2: like to think you have a good young player in

892
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 2: in overshown. But he's got to prove that he can

893
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 2: stay healthy too. So that's gonna be the key there.

894
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 2: I'm speaking of him. Maybe he comes back in a

895
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 2: week or two. Sebastian and said Van and I will

896
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,320
Speaker 2: be our next caller. Last caller, Sebastian, what's up.

897
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 7: Good morning, sir.

898
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 16: I hope you're doing well.

899
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 2: Thank you.

900
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 10: Yeah.

901
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 7: I want to start out by first give me some

902
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 7: credit to the front office. They did a lot more

903
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,720
Speaker 7: of this offseason than they ever have in any season

904
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 7: that I've seen because I've only been watching about eighteen

905
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,959
Speaker 7: years now, right, right, Jerry Jones, you built this team

906
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:29,319
Speaker 7: to be the most valuable franchise in the world. But

907
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 7: at the end of the day, we haven't had a

908
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 7: complete team since the Jimmy Johnson era. So when it

909
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 7: comes to the question of was it Jerry or was

910
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:37,760
Speaker 7: it Jimmy, it's leaning Jimmy.

911
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 2: Right right.

912
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 7: We got nine games left to go on a season.

913
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 7: Right at this point, we know what our defense is.

914
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 7: For the first time ever, the world is saying, you

915
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 7: got an MVP quarterback. You gotta do something with that.

916
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 7: But we can't. You can't fix this massive hole in

917
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 7: one season. So I go to Will McLay and for

918
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 7: the first time, I say, listen, the buck no longer

919
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 7: stops with me.

920
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 2: Will.

921
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 7: We got this much money, we got, this is our core,

922
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 7: we got, this is our defensive coordinator. I'm going to

923
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 7: give you the rest of this season to put together

924
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 7: the best team that you can going forward so we

925
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 7: can try to sneak into the playoffs. And in the offseason,

926
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 7: we're going to tackle this thing from every angle, the UFL,

927
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 7: free agency, and the draft. Straight defense. Can you fix this?

928
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 7: You're the guy we don't need all the chiefs that

929
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 7: we've had over the last several years, whereas this collective

930
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,880
Speaker 7: and it just seems like it's not working as a whole.

931
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 7: You know, you've seen and I've seen it. All the

932
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 7: fans know, all the world knows what our team is.

933
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 7: We have a phenomenal offense, but the defense is so

934
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 7: bad it's starting to affect your quarterback and your offensive

935
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 7: coordinator's mindsets when they go into the game. You can

936
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 7: see the desperation in their face when the defense goes

937
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 7: out there. And I feel personally irritated when I see

938
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 7: the defense celebrating and you get an interception but you

939
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 7: are fred yards behind the guy, and then to the

940
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 7: safety and the quarterbacks celebrating, and then his own but

941
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:03,399
Speaker 7: he oversee them by five yards. He was wide open.

942
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 7: And this is every game, every down, you know. So

943
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:10,320
Speaker 7: I don't think we can fix this all in one season.

944
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 11: I give this two seasons.

945
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 7: And I think the thing was with with Brian Schottenheimer.

946
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 7: We had that matrix feeling like when my mouse is

947
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 7: seeing Neil for the first time and he's doing that

948
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 7: jump off the roof and they're like, no one makes

949
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 7: it on the first time. But you go, but what

950
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,840
Speaker 7: if this team's identity is false? Hope, right now, I

951
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:26,800
Speaker 7: don't hang up with lessons.

952
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 2: All right, Well yeah, I mean you're talking about two

953
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 2: years to fix it, about two days, three days, get

954
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 2: an extra day, get it fixed. I mean, I mean,

955
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 2: this is not the business that this is as a fans.

956
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 2: Fans reality is is like cause they know where the

957
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 2: fans know where they're going to be next year, they're

958
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 2: going to be rooting for the Cowboys as painfully as

959
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 2: they could be. Sometimes that's what they're going to be.

960
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 2: So it's easy for a fan to say, well, you know,

961
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 2: this isn't the year for it, let's go and let's

962
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 2: don't do anything to mess up our draft and all

963
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 2: this kind of stuff. But that's not the that's not

964
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 2: the reality that that that that the coaches and players

965
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 2: live in, you know what I mean? Now, the front

966
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:10,919
Speaker 2: office can a little bit because they know where they're

967
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 2: going to be, but the goal is to try to

968
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 2: figure out how to beat the Cardinals this week, to

969
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 2: get the four to four and one at the buy.

970
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 2: That's what they gotta do. They gotta they got to

971
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:23,920
Speaker 2: do that. So I I understand the big picture thoughts.

972
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 2: But it's it's trying to figure out how do you

973
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 2: win this week against the Cardinals, the absolute biggest game

974
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 2: of the year, because because it's the next one, and

975
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 2: it's the one to put you right back at five

976
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 2: hundred at the buy four to four and one. That's

977
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 2: where they have to be if they want to do anything,

978
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 2: they got to, you know, then go to Vegas and

979
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 2: then we know the gauntlet that's behind them there. They're

980
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:48,840
Speaker 2: gonna have to steal some wins. They're gonna have to

981
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 2: do that. They're gonna have to figure out how to

982
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 2: win some of these home games, and they're winnable. They're

983
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,239
Speaker 2: winnable the Eagles. You can beat the Eagles at home.

984
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 2: You can you can beat the Chargers and the Vikings.

985
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 2: I don't know about the Chiefs right now. Mahomes could

986
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:04,479
Speaker 2: score fifty the way that this defense is playing right now.

987
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 2: So they have to figure out how to get stops.

988
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:09,919
Speaker 2: But one game at a time. It's not about next

989
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 2: year and all that. It's about how do they beat

990
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 2: the Cardinals this week? How do they get off the

991
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 2: field a few more times and get the ball to

992
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 2: the offense. That that that's what it is. I get

993
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 2: big pictures there. But this team, this team is it

994
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:27,800
Speaker 2: would do everyone a disservice, disservice if they're not trying

995
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 2: to go and figure out how to win next Monday night.

996
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:32,919
Speaker 2: That's just my take on it. You guys aren't wrong

997
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 2: with with big picture thoughts, but also remember it's it's

998
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 2: about tunnel vision right here, right now. Figure out how

999
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:42,799
Speaker 2: to win. I mean, you're you're not even at the

1000
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 2: halfway point. You've got something really good to work with,

1001
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 2: but you've got to figure out how to how to

1002
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 2: take this worst defense in the NFL and make them

1003
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 2: even close to average. If you can do that, you'll

1004
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 2: have something here. But you know, I think that that's

1005
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:01,719
Speaker 2: where things stay in right now. But we'll talk about

1006
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:03,840
Speaker 2: it all week long. We'll talk about it. We got it.

1007
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 2: We got a few more shows before the Cowboys take

1008
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 2: on the Cardinals and it starts tomorrow. So for Chris

1009
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,359
Speaker 2: be I'm Nick Eatman, see tomorrow on storyline.
