WEBVTT - Talkin' Cowboys: What's Wrong? 0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:06.920 The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:06.920 --> 0:00:18.320 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This He's Talking Cowboys 0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:22.119 Screaming live from the Dallas Cowboys World Hours at the 0:00:22.200 --> 0:00:34.720 Star in Frisco. Here are Mickey Spagnola, Brian Brons, Rob Phillips, 0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:38.640 and Bill Jones. You know, I woke up early this 0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:42.519 morning before the sun came up, and I was wondering 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:45.560 if it was going to come up and flowing. Behold, 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:48.880 about seven thirty it dead and here we are talking 0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:53.800 Cowboys for another week. Bill Jones with Mickey Spagnola. Brian 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:56.400 brought us saying, Rob Phillips and do we ever have 0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:58.520 a lot to talk about this week as we look 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:01.560 back at what happened on Sunday. It's the morning after 0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:04.559 a twenty four twenty two loss to the New York Jets, 0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:08.480 and we look ahead to the Philadelphia Eagles as it 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:11.440 will be a battle of division leaders as expected to 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:14.360 three and three teams at AT and T Stadium on 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:16.000 Sunday night. But we got a lot of time to 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:18.640 get to that. Over the next forty five minutes, we're 0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:23.679 getting to what happened yesterday at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:26.800 New Jersey. Mickey, you were there. I was there. Rob 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:29.800 you were there. I was there too. Brian was here 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:33.000 at the Star and doing pre and post game stuff. 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:34.920 You've heard a lot what Brian has had to say 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:37.360 already on the post game show. Let's start with the 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:40.160 guys that were there. You're just a quick little run 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:43.240 around here to get your impression of where we are 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:45.600 right now. Go ahead. Mac's kind of hired to be 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:49.600 quick on this one. Just quick. We've got to hold five. 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:53.400 There's so many things that go into a two point loss. 0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:57.520 It's like you can't be quick about it. You're playing 0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:00.360 with kind of one hand behind your back, with the 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:05.120 injuries that they went into the game, suffered during the game, 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:10.119 the fact that your defense just can't seem to get 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:13.320 it right now. Giving up fifty eight points in two 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:17.440 games not good enough, especially when you knew your offense 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:21.919 was going to struggle without your two starting offensive tackles, 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:25.600 and then two of your top three wide receivers out 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:29.359 of the game by the second series, and then you 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:31.680 fight your ass off to get back into the game, 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:35.160 and you need one more stop down the stretch, and 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:37.480 they give up a field goal that ends up being 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:41.200 basically the difference in the game because the offense finally 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:46.120 finally scored some touchdowns in that fourth quarter and you 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:49.359 lose by two. And here's what you find out when 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.600 you're on the plane for three and a half hours 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:54.800 and you have time. I look back over the history. 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.640 You have to go back to nineteen eighty six to 0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:02.720 find the last season they lost two games by two points. 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:07.160 And now they've done it in three weeks. Interesting. Yeah, 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.200 a second straight week though that it didn't seem like 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:11.480 it's that close, you know, the score didn't seem like 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.520 it was that close. And Mickey spoke to it once again. 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:18.280 Really slow starts on both sides of the ball. Offensively, 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:22.880 third straight game without scoring a touchdown until the second half. Defensively, 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:25.919 Mick touched on it. They did a better job against 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:29.080 the run two point eight yards per carry for Leveon 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:33.560 Bell and company. But Sam Darnold clearly they're a different 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:36.280 team with him at quarterback. He had a lot of 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.040 time in the pocket, was able to set his feet, 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:43.119 and Brian spoke about Jamison Crowder. Those receivers were able 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:44.880 to get separation and made a lot of big plays 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:47.960 in the passing game. Penalties were a factor. They actually 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:51.080 won the turnover battle this week, but it wasn't enough, 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:53.680 and once again Dak spoke to it after the game. 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:56.760 We keep digging ourselves a hole. We're not playing complimentary football, 0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:58.640 and that's why they've lost three games in a row. 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:03.160 I'm getting tired of all the postgame comments, you know, 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:05.800 I'm getting tired of the you know, trying to find 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.400 answers and know, we have to do this, and we 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:11.440 have to do that. You know, it's about time to 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:15.240 go out and play football. You know, I'm tired of, Oh, 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.240 we're not execute. We're not doing this, We're not doing that. 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:20.760 You're talking about the postgame answers in the locker room 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:24.040 from the players and stuff. Yes, it's the same song, 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:27.960 second and third verse. You know, I'm tired of it. 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:31.280 You know, go out there and play better, and Mickey's right, 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:34.320 you get handicapped. It nobody feels sorry for you. We 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:37.400 talk about that they built this team with backups, you know, 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.200 with the backups to be able to play in these games. 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:43.040 You have a starting quarterback, you have your running back. 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:45.640 You know, you have a guy that I felt like 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:49.800 was one a complimentary wide receiver that goes out there 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:52.920 and drops passes for you. You know, when when when 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:56.160 things were dark, when Amari Cooper coming off the field, 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:58.800 you had to feel better about Okay, hey, you still 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:01.080 have Michael Gallop to go out or make plays. Michael 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:03.680 Gallup didn't make enough plays in that game. You know, 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:06.400 I'm pointing a finger at him a little bit on this. 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:08.960 I'm pointing the finger at Tank Lawrence and those guys. 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:12.520 Tank Lawrence didn't have every single time being double team. 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:17.240 This is a Jets offensive line that struggled to protect him. 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.880 Robert Quinn, MALIEK Collins, none of those guys did a 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:24.440 good enough job getting pressure on Sam Darnold. Your quarterback 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:28.360 got hit eight times in this football game. Three times though, 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:31.479 excuse me, two of the times he was outside the pocket. 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.919 Took really big, heavy hits where you're wondering, is he 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.680 gonna get up? Yeah, well it great toughness on his 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:41.279 part to get up after that. But but you know, 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:43.520 you're you're telling me that the defense, you know that 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:47.120 they can't cover Robbie Anderson on a double move. You 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:50.320 know you allow that to happen. You know, you know 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:53.120 they get caught in a situation where Jeff Heath is 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:57.440 the deep safety. With Xavier Woods playing down you know 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.760 that's a problem right there. That's not using your personnel 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:04.640 the right way to put him in that situation. Jeff 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.039 Heath cannot play the ball down the field like that. 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:11.080 It's a problem. Okay, But you you've got guys that 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.960 you are relying on each week to make plays to 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:18.320 help you win these games. You know that right tackle 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:20.719 had never made a start in the National Football League 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:23.640 for you, didn't play terrible, wasn't good in the run game, 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.440 wasn't nearly good enough. On the fourth and two play 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:28.760 they tried to run, he's the one that didn't cut 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:33.440 the guy off going inside to make the tea. But 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:36.120 that's about knowing the coach, knowing Okay, what do I 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:39.599 have up front? What am I dealing with upfront? You 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:42.440 know I Admiron for going for it. I'm surprised he 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:45.200 went for it, but you know they didn't have it. 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:48.120 They didn't run a good enough play, they didn't execute 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.760 a good enough play. And again, I'm just tired of 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:56.039 after every game now it's the same commentary. Go out 0:06:56.080 --> 0:07:00.400 and do something about it. Stop with the commentary, Go 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:05.080 play football, Go start the game, well, go finish drives, 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:09.760 go play defense, tackle, well, all these things coaches included 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:13.600 on this I agree with all that. I also agree 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:17.880 or I also look at the reaction from fans and 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:21.280 sports talk radio and so forth. What needs to be 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:26.680 understood in this league is that there's not that much 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:30.120 difference in the teams. Okay, and what Brian is saying 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.760 is absolutely correct. The Cowboys should have gone out there 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.640 and beating that team regardless of who was playing quarterback 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.480 on that team. But the Jets are a totally different 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:41.120 team with this quarterback than what they were the last 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:43.640 three games. And the Cowboys are a different team when 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:45.920 they don't have their two starting right tackles and their 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:50.000 two other top receivers throughout the game. And so the 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.600 talk that this is an embarrassment that sort of thing 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:56.880 is ridiculous in my mind. But this team needs to 0:07:56.920 --> 0:08:00.400 get its act together in a hurry, and it needed 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:03.280 to get it to act in a hurry yesterday. I 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:05.000 did not agree with the call to go for it 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:08.239 on fourth down at the seven yard line. Shot them too. 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:10.480 I thought that you'd take the points there. You don't 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:14.480 give them any opportunity to understand that you know what 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:17.080 you have or don't have on your team and what 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:19.960 they have gained on their team, and you kick it. 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.600 You make it a seven to six game. And you know, 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.600 they took advantage of that. And it's a it's a 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:28.160 ploy that coaches do all the time where you know, 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:30.360 change the momentum, you take your shot, and they took 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:32.360 a shot and it paid off big time for them. 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:35.360 Zeke had gotten stuffed one player and that's the other 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:37.040 part of it. You know, in the first half of 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.480 the game, he had thirty five yards on ten carries. Yeah, 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:41.640 Frederick and Williams didn't do a very good job, right, 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:44.040 double team block, right, And so I didn't have confidence 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:46.680 and I didn't and I didn't like the play call obviously, 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.040 but I did. I would not have gone for it 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:52.920 at that point just because the nature of the game. Okay, 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:54.920 let's make it an even game. Let's make it seven 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:57.720 to six and go from there. And then they found 0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:01.000 themselves in the hole. From then on, they were rattled 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:04.640 the rest of the half. Yeah, they give up the 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:08.680 drive where they just easily matriculated with short passes and 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.960 you know, now you're down twenty one three. Right. I 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:15.920 think that was a indication him going for it on 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:19.880 fourth down knowing that they had an opportunity to score 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.560 a touchdown and they didn't have confidence that they were 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:25.040 going to get down there that many times that you 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:29.000 had to cash in and score a touchdown. They were 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:32.079 gonna struggle those offensive tackles. You guys can say what 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:35.800 you want about him, they weren't good enough. Dak Prescott 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.640 got hit more times in that game than I and 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:41.800 harder than I think I've seen in his entire career. Well, 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:43.960 and just like that, you want blasted. Did you watch 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:48.959 the game again? Absolutely? Did what hits did he take? 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:52.560 Other than the two? I saw three? The twist stunt 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.720 that Connor Williams, They missed that one. He got blasted 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:58.440 on that one. The boot and waggle was the one 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:00.800 he was outside the pocket that he really got the 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:04.360 two point conversion when the guy blitzed and came through free. 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:07.720 That's that's right there on That to me, is on 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:10.679 on the call. Well, I don't care what it's on. 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:12.760 He got hit. Well, it's you know, they've got to 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:15.520 make a play and you know, I mean, you know 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:17.720 they're going to sell out. He tried to hang on 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:19.320 to it as long as you know they're going to 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:22.199 sell out. But I don't care he got hit. You. 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:24.600 I don't think you watch the game, they're right, Well, 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:26.480 I did watch the game. I don't think you watch 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:29.000 the right Well, I absolutely did watch the game the 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.160 right way. So maybe you didn't watch it because you 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:34.280 weren't there. So the point I watched this morning, Mickey, 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:37.520 I don't think you did. To point on him getting 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:40.240 hit a lot, well, yeah, I'm saying that they didn't 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:43.840 get hit every single play. They may having problems blocking 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:47.240 the front. They had to forfeit putting wide receivers out 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:50.160 there to keep two tight ends on the field. Most 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:52.280 of the game, they had to put a full back. 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:56.200 They ran twelve massiel and first down to run the football. 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:58.360 That's the problem. You got all those first down because 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:02.640 you didn't trust them blocked. They didn't running it, they 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:09.000 didn't protect they didn't trust them protecting the quarterback. And well, yeah, 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.400 how many times didn't get hit? He got hit eight 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:14.480 eight times, eight times in the game, three times, two 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:19.679 times outside the pocket and in key situations. Okay, So yeah, 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:21.760 it makes a difference when you don't have the best 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.480 tackle in football on the field and the guy that's 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:27.199 been playing the best on your offensive line on the field. 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:30.000 They tried to get the ball out quickly and because 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:32.200 of that, they didn't have a lot of explosive plays. 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:33.760 And I went back and I counted it. I don't 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:35.760 know how many times you may have counted the times 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:37.760 that the Jets blitzed. I mean it was more than 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:40.600 half the time. Sure, um, not every it felt like 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:42.640 it was every time, but it certainly felt like every 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:46.240 third down they were coming and bringing pressure. And uh, 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:48.520 the one time they got the sack, they weren't blitzing. 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:50.440 It was just four man pressure. But yeah, there were 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:53.400 guys in his face. They tried to you know, table 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:56.080 On Austin's you're leading receiver. That shows you. Do you 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:59.280 think they missed? Said the tackles more or a Cooper 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:02.080 and Cobb Moore, I think they missed. I think they missed, 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:05.280 Uh Cooper and Cob More, Yeah, I think so too. 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:12.360 Yeah to me, when especially when gallups, you know he's 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:15.280 got to catch those. He dropped to these shot those 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.840 right right, he dropped to Tavon. Austin gets an illegal 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:22.160 formation on the second series. That's just they're set up 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:24.600 basically in the red zone. It's a fifteen yard play. 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:27.400 That it all he and probably what happened to him 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:30.760 is when he's going to the outside, he's looking to 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:33.319 see the coverage. He doesn't see Witten come across. But 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:35.760 he's got to know that though he's got to see Witton, 0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:38.199 he gets to know that Witton is going to switch 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:41.240 formations from the right to the left side, and he's 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:43.920 looking he's looking at coverage and doesn't see Witton because 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.760 he's got his back to the play. So that's a 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.160 problem right there. Maybe he's in the situation too where 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:51.040 him having to play and he's not used to playing 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:53.760 on the outside over there, and it doesn't it didn't 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:56.360 come naturally. But he could also ask the official you 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:58.480 know what the situation is too, and he didn't do that. 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:00.960 So and then you know, say what you want about 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:03.480 Cedric Wilson's PI. I know you didn't think it was 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:06.400 a great call, but these penalties, the drops, you can't 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:09.320 have it when you're this compromise on your offense. And 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:11.959 at some point I know they like you're saying in 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:13.640 the locker room, we got to clean this up. It's 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:17.000 self inflicted. Good teams don't do this week after week, 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:19.160 and I know they think they're a better team than this, 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:21.880 but maybe they're not. But that's the thing, gets back 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:24.320 to Parcels. You are what you are. Yeah, maybe they're 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:26.880 not a better team. Maybe that's maybe that's the process. 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:28.520 And that's kind of where I was at the end 0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:30.600 of the day. I mean, we're talking and gets back 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:34.560 to my point on Okay, the Jets, they've got their 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:38.480 starting quarterback back. Okay, I think the two best players 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:40.839 on the field the way they played yesterday were both 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.320 Jets players. One of them was Sam Darneld, the other 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:47.160 was Jamal Adams on the other side. Sure, and you know, 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:49.240 and there's a reason that they were the best players 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:50.920 on the field yesterday. One was the third pick in 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:52.480 the draft. One was the sixth pick in the draft. 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:54.240 The third best player on the field yesterday I thought 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:56.199 was Zeke Elliott and he was the fourth pick in 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:58.600 the draft. I mean he ran his ass off second half. 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.720 Try to get get the physical you know, get the 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:03.880 tone set and trying to get something going. I point 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:06.600 on that is, Okay, the Jets were back to full 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:10.080 strength basically. Okay, the Cowboys were depleted, whatever, But you 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:13.000 are what you are when you can't beat them. Okay, 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:15.839 you fall behind, you make a dumb decision, I think, 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:18.520 and going for it, and then you fall behind and 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:20.720 you battle your butt back and you'd get back in it, 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:22.720 but you don't. You aren't able to execute to get 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:24.840 the win. Well, you're sitting there at the end of 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:27.480 the day, you're three and three. You've lost three straight games. 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:29.680 You had three great wins to start the year against 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:32.600 week teams, and now you've played stronger competition. You just 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:35.040 lost to a week team. Supposedly, well, but I don't 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.280 know that how week that team and that team when 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:40.120 they had that quarterback lost to the Bills, which is 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:41.800 a pretty good team, in the first game of the 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:43.880 year seventeen to sixteen. So I don't think. I don't 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:46.160 put the Jets in the same category with the Redskins 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:50.760 in the Dolphins. But others say it's an embarrassment. So 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.280 we sit here and we are arguing about the offense. 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:56.560 The defense gave up twenty four points, right, they were bad, 0:14:56.840 --> 0:15:01.200 twenty one points in the first half, three touchdowns. That 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:04.320 was more touchdowns and a half. And I understand Darnold 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:06.880 wasn't out there the first four games. They had only 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:11.960 scored two offensive touchdowns right, two offensive touchdowns to that point, 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:14.040 and they got three in the first half, and that 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:17.440 first defense has got to be better. They they they, 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:22.360 I don't know why they insist on when when when 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:24.760 they when they go to a single safety high they 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:29.040 motioned uh Xavier Woods down into coverage and live Heath 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:32.480 up there by himself to degree right. You can call 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:34.680 it a dumb decision or not, but that didn't mean, 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:37.120 you know, part of the decision is okay, if we 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:38.880 don't get it. We got them backed up at the 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.240 seven yard line. You don't have to give up a 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:46.400 ninety two yard touchdown pass, the second longest in club history. 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:49.560 In history, you had to go back to nineteen seventy 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:51.840 two to find a longer one, and it was only 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:54.920 by two yards. Who was it? It was the New 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:59.080 York Giants norm snead through a pass. I think it 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:03.960 was some guy named Houston or something. Alex Webster. Piladel 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.960 was so too. It's in my column. I forgot the 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:13.080 game game nineteen seventy two, and on that four yards 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:16.960 and on their first touchdown drive, the Jets four penalties defensively, 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:19.400 they were ready to get off the field. For a 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:21.400 field goal, and that kind of set the tone, got 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:23.440 them going a little bit. And then yeah that I 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:25.600 think the ninety two yard play is the longest play 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:28.320 from scrimmage in the NFL this year. Yeah that, it 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:31.520 was the second longest in Jets history. It's a shame 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:33.800 that you don't get any pressure inside though on that 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:36.600 ninety two yards pass. You know, it's just you just 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:39.000 you get no you get no push to the inside. 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:41.240 You had the quarterback has ability to step up make 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:43.440 the throw, you know, and then you got a corner 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:45.800 on the outside that's not playing with very much confidence 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:48.800 out there, you know. And now you get owners who 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:51.240 are banged up to going into this week. Good luck 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:54.040 with that. All right. We talked about that and much more. 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:56.960 To get to here is talking cowboys continues in a moment. 0:16:57.120 --> 0:17:01.760 Your new apartment's big, Such a great deal, that's okay, 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:09.080 just okay?

Today, back to Talking Cowboys, Talking Cowboys 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:03.720 continue on a Monday morning here at the Star in Fresco. 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:08.320 Cowboys fall to the Jets twenty four, twenty two, and 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:13.280 going into the game, if as we approached this game 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:15.920 last week, we were saying, well, what if they did 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:18.520 lose to the Jets, what would talk shows be like 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:20.800 this week? Well, we're getting the taste of it right now. 0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:22.760 We're gonna get it the whole rest of the week. 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:25.600 You know, Jason Garrett has always said he never listens 0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:27.879 to sports talk radio, and I would advise him not 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:30.680 to start right now. The front page of ESPN dot 0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:34.000 com says, is Dallas done? First take you go in 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:38.720 the break room, It's is dak losing money? Based off 0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:41.360 of the performance yesterday. I mean, it's you know, it's 0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:43.320 all coming at him right now. And that's what happens 0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:45.719 when you lose three straight games, no question about it, 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:48.560 especially when you're the Dallas Cowboys. Especially when you're the 0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:50.960 Dallas Cowboys, it's easy. You know, I'm not saying it's clickbait, 0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:53.680 but it's it's it's a talking point when a team 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:56.760 with this high expectations and this type of visibility is 0:19:56.760 --> 0:19:59.040 struggling right now. There's still a lot of football left 0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:01.359 to play. Like Brian said, though, you got to figure 0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:03.040 it out. You got to figure it out. This is 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:05.240 this is a turning point in the season right now 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:07.520 with the Eagles coming up because they're coming off their 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:11.160 own struggles. But the division could be ultimately division could 0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:13.480 be decided this Sunday coming up, depending on what happens 0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:16.919 the rest of the way. It's nice Philadelphia Stulls. Some 0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:19.640 difficult games left, Yeah, they got phil It. They've got 0:20:19.680 --> 0:20:22.240 to play at Seattle. You know, they've got some games 0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:25.160 coming up that you know that New England some games 0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:26.840 you know they're gonna have to This is not gonna 0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:29.280 be one of those things where it's like Okay, that 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:32.000 a lot of games that are backloaded and stuff like 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:34.560 that their schedule. I mean, they've got some easy games 0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:36.680 at the end, don't get me wrong, but they've also 0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:38.600 got some tough games that they're gonna have to deal 0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:41.320 with here going down the stretch. So we'll see. I 0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:43.919 thought we might have the dumb and dumber deal on 0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:47.679 the New York Post again from going back nineteen ninety 0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:51.320 four after the fourth and one in Switzer and Barry 0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:53.520
