But other than that, we are going 0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:05.040 to discuss we left off yesterday. What the coordinators and 0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:08.320 head coach mc McCarthy we're going to say post loss 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:10.920 to the Arizona Cardinals. We're gonna break that down for 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:13.280 one last day before we officially turned the page here 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:15.480 on the podcast and we start looking into the Week 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:18.800 four matchup against the Patriots. A lot to talk about, 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:23.080 so let's start with the offense. Aisha, yesterday you had 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:26.600 a fantastic question to Mike McCarthy which went noted on Twitter, 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:30.800 and I'm glad it did because it was very insightful and. 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:33.080 It just shows you always have football smarts. 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:36.440 So hello to anybody that didn't notice that. Let's talk 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:39.280 about that because you asked him specifically about the tight 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:42.880 end group and a big conversation this week is red 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:45.640 zone lack of production and not capitalizing when you're in 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:47.520 the red zone. When the Cowboys in the red zone, 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:50.120 they can't find the end zone. So how did the 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:51.200 tight ends tie into that? 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:52.360 Asha? What have you noticed? 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:54.840 You went back, you watched the film and you have 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:58.000 key points that can help this team excel in what 0:01:58.040 --> 0:01:58.720 they need to work on. 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:02.720 What are they So my question was, you know, Coach, 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:05.200 there's you know in the West Coast system, the vertical 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:09.400 threat is important just because of how you're using so 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.360 much of the intermediate and short field yardist to just 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:14.400 move down the field. You're trying to you know, control 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:17.400 the clock, do all that stuff. But you know, having 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:20.880 the vertical threat really, to me, it opens up so 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.400 much of what you want to do because defenses right 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:26.280 now they're playing tight. They're betting on the fact that 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:29.400 you're gonna do short passes and stuff. So he mentioned 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:32.160 the word, you know, he said, they're playing shell defense, 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:34.440 and so I was like, when you think of shell, 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.560 you think of two high safeties, you know, kind. 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:37.600 Of soft coverage or whatever. 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:41.920 But in doing some digging and learning, like shell can 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:44.000 mean a number of things. So he also went on 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:47.640 to talk about quarters and say that they're playing quarters defense, 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:51.160 and the purpose of quarters defense is to take away 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:54.360 deep shots. What happens is that you have two safeties 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:56.560 that have a quarter of the field. I kind of 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.120 think of that it like a like a square like 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:01.560 you know, you know, like yeah, you know, so you 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:03.959 have they have a quarter of the defense the safety does, 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:07.400 and then they have their responsibility is there's deep they 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:10.600 have a deep zone responsibility. So and then the corners, 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:13.799 the corners have the flat to the zone aerial in 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:16.320 the area, and then the linebackers cover like the curl 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:20.400 flat area. So I the the purpose of that is 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.040 to take away the middle of the field. And so 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:26.519 I've been looking at like, why aren't we really attacking 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:30.840 the middle of the field consistently with with a lot 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:35.640 of teams playing cover four, which is like it's only 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:38.840 one person out there. So my point was was, you 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:41.760 know what schematically can you do to kind of beat that? 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:43.800 And what are the things you can do to beat that? 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.360 And you can get behind the linebackers, which we seen 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:48.760 We saw it last week with Ceedee Lamb with the 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:53.040 flat slat, which is you're just letting him slip behind 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:56.800 those linebackers that are kind of playing shallow and you 0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.040 know he's going to make the play. And that's also 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.200 why you saw Michael Gallup be so effective this week 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:06.520 with slants because it's there. But my concern again is 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:10.120 the fact that defenses are playing you so tight, and 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:12.000 they're playing so close to the line of scrimmage, and 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.240 they're aggressive, they're biting all stuff and everything because they're 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:17.040 betting on you not passing the ball deep. So that's 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:20.560 something that I'm looking for them to establish to kind 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:23.520 of get these guys off their back and to you know, 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:26.599 to get some respect there. And so I mean and 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.039 again we thought that, you know, Brandon Cooks would be 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:30.839 that guy. We thought that that would be something that 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:33.039 they can do. So really curious to see how they 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:36.720 scheme that up and how things open up their Chris 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:37.120 do you guys? 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.919 Yeah, Well, because when you're talking about like using the 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:43.159 tight ends, I think that a lot of longtime Cowboy 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:46.359 fans they picture Jason Witten on that sceam route right 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:50.400 ye on the scene. But again it's how they're playing 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:53.800 the coverage, quarters and things, so you don't want to 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.919 force it. And so there's a thing there's the old, 0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.719 tried but true. You know, you take what the defense 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:02.880 gives you. Well, it's like, well, why are you taking 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:05.520 what the defense gives you? You need to assert, you know, 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.480 you be the dominant and you know you give it 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:12.080 to them. Well no, I mean the coverage dictates where 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:15.440 the ball is going to go, period. Otherwise you're forcing 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:17.440 it in and you don't want to do that. The 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:19.760 other thing where you're talking about with the way that 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:23.280 some of these defenses were playing and when the linebackers drop, 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:25.960 I think that a lot of times when we think 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:31.080 that you really have to have this precision passing and 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.760 fitting the ball in there. You're thinking of a slant 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:35.600 route or you're thinking of some out route, and the 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:39.440 quarterback puts the ball right there because there's a defensive 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:43.599 back draped all over the guy. Now it's oftentimes it's touch, 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:46.359 it's putting it over the linebacker in front. And so 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:50.200 those those are difficult throws and you got to be 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:53.360 just right because if you're a little short, or if 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:56.640 that linebacker doesn't bite on the play action, you know, 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:59.919 the fake hand off and react and you know just 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:03.040 that quarter second of them, you know, delaying their drop 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:07.320 into coverage. It's it's all interconnected and so you you 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:12.599 really everybody has to play their part, whether you're the 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.920 running back acting like you're taking the handoff or you 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.120 really got to sell that. So it goes to what 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:20.680 we've been talking about and what the coaches and players 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:24.200 have been talking about since early in the off season. 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:27.000 Knowing your why, your purpose, what is your what is 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.679 your why on this plan? 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:33.760 Yeah, and to be fair, I think in this game specifically, 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:38.120 nobody knew what their why was. It leaked all over 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:42.279 the place, right, nobody knew. Nobody knew how to once 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:44.400 they were in that deficit, how to how to bounce 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:47.240 back quickly. And that's okay, because here's the thing. I 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:49.960 don't see that being an issue this week. They're going 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:51.839 to hone in on that red zone play this week. 0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:52.239 At practice. 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:55.200 Micha McCarthy said that yesterday, and I don't necessarily think 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.720 they lost track of like their their whole why it 0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:02.279 was just look on his defense was outsmarting them in 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:04.320 a lot of ways and that's just kind of what 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:06.440 it came down to. As far as the red zone though, 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.640 I think this is an interesting topic because we talked 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.280 about this throughout the summer. We talked about this after 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:14.200 Zeke was released of who is the big red zone 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:16.360 guy for the Cowboys now, because it was Zeke, right, 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:20.000 And when Zeke was leading in red zone percentage scoring 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:23.000 percentage for the Cowboys, he was second. He had the 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:26.120 second most amount of touchdowns rushing touchdowns in the NFL 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:29.160 last year. That's a big loss, right, And so, yes, 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:30.880 the Cowboys are getting to the red zone, and I 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:32.400 think that can't. 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:33.920 Be overlooked either. Is that's the hard part. 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:36.920 Schottenheimer said that yesterday, hardest part is getting there to 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:39.360 the red zone. It's just continuing to get into the 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:40.480 end zone. That's the issue. 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:44.080 Yeah, And I mean another thing that you're seeing in 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:47.400 the red zone is you had the three red zone 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:50.680 penalties that were huge, but these and that's a big 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:53.560 part of it, is that those penalties are putting them 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:57.200 in unfavorable situations when they're in second in goal, but 0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:59.800 it's at the fifteen or second, heir third and goal 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.960 and you're at the ten or something like, you're they 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:06.160 really I'm really looking for them to get closer to 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:08.040 the goal line and I think that's going to open 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:10.280 up your playbook a whole bunch of Shotenheimer talked about 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:13.800 that as well. The usage of the whole field too, 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:16.640 is something that I've been looking at because when you 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.320 talk about again, when you start talking about them playing 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:23.080 quarters and stuff, is that it takes away you know, 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:25.640 we'll middle of the field open. It takes away part 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:29.000 of the field, but it's like the offense is taking 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:32.800 it away on their own and so also too, so 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:35.439 you look, there's opportunities to attack the left side of 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:37.439 the field, but it's not there. But anyway back into 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:41.640 the red zone, stuff getting backed up is hurting them 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:44.680 and staying ahead of the sticks, you know, Brian Schottenheimer 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.199 mentioned that he mentioned that as well, But I want 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:49.160 to say that Arizona, you mentioned it. 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:53.360 They were very disciplined, they play, they were down there. 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:56.880 Stop saying that about them. They poured gatorade. 0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:00.080 That's fair. It was. It was his first victory as 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:01.920 a head coach. So that's why they did. 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:03.079 In the Dallas Cowboys. 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:05.120 If you want to make a statement that you're not 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:07.479 ranked thirty two among thirty two NFL. 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.360 Teams, this was the team to be That's fair. 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:12.640 It wouldn't have mattered, right because now they can go on, 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:15.040 they can lose to the forty nine ers and be like, well. 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:16.040 We are going to beat the cat. 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:17.319 I want you want him to beat the forty nine 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:20.160 ers because if things go to form, a lot of 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:25.480 people think if preseason predictions are correct, Cowboys, Eagles and 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:27.880 forty nine ers, so a lot of people think are 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:30.520 the tops of the NFC. But one other thing that 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.840 Schottenheimer said about the red zone offense is that a 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.600 big part of it is scrambles. Now, we did see 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:41.440 dak on Sunday in Arizona. He had the big play 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:43.360 that was not in the red zone, but it was 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:46.280 third and twelve and then he broke the pocket and 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:49.280 what a great play by him, great effort and execution. 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:51.640 Believe he got fourteen yards on that to get a 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:54.760 first down to continue that drive going down later they 0:09:54.760 --> 0:10:00.480 did stall in the red zone, but Schottenheimer mentioned that 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:04.480 yesterday as offensive coordinator during his press conference that yeah, 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:07.240 we got to remember, you know, everyone, Hey, that's a 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:09.240 big part of it. And you know, we say that 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:11.760 Dak hasn't run as much as he did earlier in 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:15.880 his career before he broke the ankle, obviously, but wouldn't 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:18.520 be surprised to see, you know, have him maybe do 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:19.319 some more keepers. 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:21.520 I was going to ask you, do you feel like 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:25.160 because even after the game, Dak took accountability to say 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:27.560 I need to use my legs more and I need 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:29.400 to be more a little bit more mobile. Is that 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:31.240 something you're going to say you expect to see out 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:33.400 of Dak is to be a little more mobile, specifically 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:35.520 in the red zone, maybe not so much, you know 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:37.160 when when they're trying to drive up to it. 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:39.240 Do you see him being a little more mobile? 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:41.000 Don't. I don't think you do it for this. I 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:42.800 don't think you do it for the sake of doing it. 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:46.079 You're not going to put your franchise guy at risk 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:49.800 like that. But but there are some perfect times, and 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:53.199 again it depends on matchups and what you're seeing from 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:57.520 the defense. But sometimes these quarterback draws are these designed keepers. 0:10:57.920 --> 0:10:59.960 You know, most of the time when when the quarterback 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:03.960 are running, unless you're Jalen Hurts, it's you know, it's 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:07.000 it's because something is broken down. The defense is in 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:09.360 the zone, they're not looking back, and so you know 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:11.160 that's when you see him break down the field and 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:14.240 get get some yards in either out of bounds or 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:16.679 slide for a first down. So but I don't think 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:17.880 you do it just to do it. 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:21.040 You know, there's some RPO situations there though in this 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.960 game that were designed where he there was a play 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:27.160 where he he actually gave the ball to Tony, but 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:29.040 if he hadn't a given it to Tony, he was 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:30.920 he might have had a bit of a collision at 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.719 the goal line with the safety but at the the 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:35.959 DV but at the same time he would have he 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:39.000 probably would have scored a touchdown. I will say I 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:41.560 actually had in my notes about the scrambling portion of it. 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:44.560 That's something that I've been noticing from the team. I 0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:47.560 noticed a little bit last year even so, is Dak 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.360 is one of the best quarterbacks on the move making 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:55.400 something happen. And I'm it's something that I'm a little 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:59.240 down about with with with the receivers, is like, you 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.800 gotta know yourquarterback, and your quarterback is a guy that again, 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:04.439 he can be rolling to his left, he can be 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:06.160 rolling to his right, and he can throw it on 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:09.760 a dime. So the scramble drills are something that I 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:12.280 hope that they're working, because there were plenty of times 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:15.600 in this game where they were scrambling and there was 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:17.000 just no constant pursuit. 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:18.199 I think Michael Gallup. 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:20.160 Does a good job of that where he's still working 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:23.360 trying to work the sideline and stuff, but know your 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.840 quarterback nobody's capable of and fight for him. 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:28.280 Also too, with the CD Lamb thing in. 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:33.000 The red zone, they came with a blitz and I 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:34.920 think that that's kind of what threw off things because 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:37.240 you remember yesterday, I was under the impression that he 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:39.840 was supposed to rub there and maybe you know, help 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:41.920 out there, but it looks like there was a corner 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:45.520 route there and Dak just once that blitz came We 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:47.680 talked about it timing and how quick they have to 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:49.960 be down there. The minute that that blitz came, that 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:50.920 play was gone. 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:51.960 That play was gone. 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:55.800 And so it's something that I'm the spacing too, is 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:56.600 just kind of funky. 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:59.000 They just I don't know, they just. 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:01.800 Were ineffishing down there, but a lot of it. In fairness, 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:03.840 give it to the Cardinals. They tried to fool them 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:07.080 a couple times with some things. Even with the RPO stuff. 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:07.880 They were not buying it. 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:10.439 And this offensive line. 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.280 Struggled blocking wise. 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:15.160 Once they got down there, they were very stout and 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:18.000 the DBS came down and tackled and they were very 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:20.320 physical for the Cardinals. So give them credit, but just 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:21.760 a lot of errors down there. 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:25.920 And yeah, there's no margin for error when you're down there, 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:29.480 like that Adoga penalty really was painful. But you can't 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:31.440 shoot yourself in the foot when you're down there because 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:34.720 the space is so compressed. It's hard enough already, yes. 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:37.400 Man, Yeah, And I mean it was a question posed 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:39.360 for Dan Quinn yesterday in the press conference when I 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:41.040 asked him about the penalties, but he made a really 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:45.000 good point in saying, you know, sometimes the penalties are 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:46.959 drawn from them being aggressive, and he said, I can 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:49.640 live with those ones. However, it's the pre snap penalties, 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:51.720 and I think that's fair to say for the offense too. 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.160 When you're trying to push that aggression level and you're 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:58.000 trying to make it dominant and protect your quarterbacks more 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.880 than anything else. Sure, those are penalties that I think 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.080 we can all live with. It was just again the 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:07.760 pre snap penalties, which very uncharacteristic considering last year. That 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.160 was something that they really worked on, especially with the 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:14.120 cadence drills, and they zoned it on. So if I'm 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:16.360 being honest, I really don't think you see. 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:17.280 A penalty heavy game. 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:19.840 Like this, Well you hope not. The other thing is 0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:22.600 when you have a different center in there, who, by 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:25.040 the way, did not get to practice. He got a 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:27.800 little bit towards the end of Thursday's practice, didn't get 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.760 to take first team reps. Tyler Biattish, the starting center, 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:35.200 wasn't injured until Thursday's practice, So it's not like brought Kaufman, 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:38.320 who had to step in elevated from the practice squad Saturday. 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:42.280 I mean they knew by Thursday, with Tyler getting hurt 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.440 that it was likely that Hoffman would would have to play. 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:49.920 But it's just different. So that first false start penalty 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:54.160 that's called on Terrence Steele, that was just all four line, 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:57.360 everybody moved except the ball, and so it was just 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:00.800 that little bit of timing that that was off. So 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.320 I'm not putting it on Brockoff now at all. I'm 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:08.280 just saying that time on task right, And and these 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:11.640 injuries that have happened, Tyrone Smith not being injured with 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:15.160 the knee until Saturday, Tuma Adoga, by the way, with 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:18.760 an elbow injury that he was nursing from the previous week. 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:22.760 So you know, it's tough enough in the regular season 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:25.640 to just get enough snaps for your first teamers, but 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:27.920 when you have these moving parts and guys are getting 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:31.520 moved around and and you just don't get to work together. 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:34.880 An offensive line is the one that requires the most cohesion. 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:38.480 So we haven't seen the group together, and I thought. 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:38.840 That he had that. 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:40.560 Mike McCarthy love. 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:42.240 This is one thing I like about him as a 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:44.800 coach is he's not afraid to say like, yeah, I 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:47.000 could have I could have done that. There he admitted, 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:48.960 you know, even the seven step drops not you know, 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:54.200 not really taking any chances with the deep ball. But yeah, this, this, 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.240 and that's why I'm trying to stay levelheaded about it 0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:01.280 because I know, I know that people are just like 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:04.400 you should be able to overcome everything, but losing three 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:09.440 starting offensive linemen probably drastically changes your game plan and 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:10.680 what you do before. 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:14.240 Yeah, and same again, like in case you weren't with 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:17.880 us yesterday on Girls Talk, Boys Talk. Mike McCarthy in 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:21.080 his pregame interview with Brad Sham on Cowboys Radio says, 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:24.040 I'm still going. I'm still going through things this morning, 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:27.040 Sunday morning, and we're just a few hours from kickoff. 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:29.880 But I want what Ayisha that little nugget that she 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:34.080 dropped and this was from McCarthy's press conference yesterday, not 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:36.800 doing seven step drops? What does that mean? Well, with 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:40.360 a quarterback, you have either a three step three step drop, 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:46.040 a five step drop, a seven drip seven step drop. Well, 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:49.200 obviously it takes longer to go back seven steps than 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:52.000 it does three or five, and that's generally the plays 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:54.440 that are further down the field. Well, when you have 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:58.200 young guys on the offensive line and you know you 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:02.080 want to you're not one hundred percent sure about your 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:04.600 press protection as if you had some of your veterans 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:07.200 in there. That's one reason why they weren't going deep, 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:09.280 which they weren't doing some of the deeper drops and 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:12.560 setting things up for longer. So there's a reason why 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:15.240 were the Tide Ends not as involved. They're into help 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:17.840 pass protect and also help in the run game, and 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:20.040 you saw it in the run game. The numbers were 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:24.120 good in the run game. So there it's cause and effect, 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:27.520 you know, and what you did against the Giants and 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:30.600 what you did against the Jets. Sorry, that's off the table. 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:34.199 It's a completely different matchup against the Cardinals defense. 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:37.240 Very good point and a good way to transition to 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:39.920 our next segment. When we come back from our next break, 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:42.080 we're gonna talk about the run game. We're gonna talk 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:45.479 a little bit about the running back situation, and then 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:47.920 we'll transition into defense. So make sure to stay tuned. 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:49.560 This is Girls Talk, Boys Talk, visited by Jig South 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:51.560 that the preferred dating partner of the das Cowboys.

What I like that Mike. 0:20:06.200 --> 0:20:08.560 McCarthy dropped a few weeks ago, was he said going 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:11.640 into week five, Week four, even you start to see 0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:14.560 the teams develop across the NFL. It's not just specific 0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:16.960 to the Dallas Cowboys. You can even leak into week 0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:20.440 six at that point. You're getting to that point now 0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:23.159 where the identities are starting to be formed with the 0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:26.280 teams kind of what they're leaning a little more heavy on. 0:20:26.359 --> 0:20:29.160 If it's the run game, the pass game that obviously 0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:33.359 is omped up by the run game. This team in 0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:36.720 a new era, Tony Pollard era, backed by Rico Dawdle, 0:20:37.119 --> 0:20:39.960 and then you now have Duce Vaughan entered the chat, 0:20:40.240 --> 0:20:41.679 Hunter Lipkey entered the chat. 0:20:42.240 --> 0:20:44.000 This run game very interesting. 0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:48.160 Something that was brought up to coach McCarthy yesterday was 0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:50.800 to preserve Tony Pollard for the rest of the season. 0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:54.280 How do you do that going into practice because he's 0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:57.399 taking a majority of these reps. How do you preserve 0:20:57.480 --> 0:21:01.639 him to ensure that by week seven he's still just 0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:04.840 as effective as he is now going into week four. 0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:08.919 Mike said, they're very aware of it, they know and 0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:12.959 that his practices will be adjusted to reflect preserving his body, 0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:14.000 which we appreciate. 0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:16.120 Ladies. Let's go into this. 0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:21.840 Let's go into Let's start with how Rico Dowdell is 0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:24.680 filling in that second position. What we've seen from him 0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:28.080 so far and how he can be more effective if 0:21:28.080 --> 0:21:29.760 given the opportunity to get a little bit more of 0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:30.480 the ball distribution. 0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:34.120 He's always been a tough runner. The coaches have always 0:21:34.240 --> 0:21:38.160 loved Rico Dowdell. It's just the injuries that caught him 0:21:38.200 --> 0:21:42.000 the first few years here in Dallas. And it was 0:21:42.080 --> 0:21:45.080 noted by coach McCarthy yesterday about the tough running, not 0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:48.720 just Rico, but Tony and even Jake Ferguson slipping a 0:21:48.720 --> 0:21:53.840 couple of tackle Ceedee Lamb. Coach McCarthy said, he said, 0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:56.040 twenty eight or twenty nine. We'll go with twenty nine 0:21:56.040 --> 0:22:00.560 because it sounds better broken tackles. That was some tougher 0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:04.040 and let me tell you from field level these and hey, 0:22:04.160 --> 0:22:07.680 same thing goes for James Connor with the Cardinals offense. 0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:11.080 These were hard earned yards. Okay, there was some hitting 0:22:11.119 --> 0:22:15.600 going on and so, but the ability to take a 0:22:16.080 --> 0:22:20.600 one yard run or a zero yard run and yet 0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:25.240 still go past that first contact or even second contact. 0:22:25.320 --> 0:22:29.120 Not all great runs go for fifteen to twenty plus yards. 0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:31.720 Some of the better runs are ones where you get 0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:34.600 three or four off of something that should be zero 0:22:34.760 --> 0:22:38.960 or minus one. And it was some tough tough, tough sledding. 0:22:39.359 --> 0:22:43.479 But Rico and Tony. I mean, if we had just said, oh, 0:22:43.480 --> 0:22:45.720 you're going to have one hundred and eighty rushing yards 0:22:45.720 --> 0:22:47.760 in the game for the Cowboys, you'd say, oh, yeah, 0:22:47.800 --> 0:22:50.040 sign me up for that every day. But I was 0:22:50.080 --> 0:22:52.600 happy for Rico, just like we said yesterday, for him 0:22:52.600 --> 0:22:55.159 to get his first career touchdown. Ironically it came on 0:22:55.240 --> 0:22:58.600 to pass instead of a run, but yeah, he's he's 0:22:59.400 --> 0:23:02.720 showing his value to the team this year. Yeah, I agree. 0:23:03.000 --> 0:23:07.800 I like the usage of Rico Daddle to start the 0:23:07.840 --> 0:23:11.760 screen game has been so effective to start the season, 0:23:11.840 --> 0:23:14.440 and I think that that's important. Rico Daddo's gotten after 0:23:14.480 --> 0:23:17.640 it with it, Tony's gotten after it with it, Duce 0:23:17.720 --> 0:23:20.679 Vaughan has gotten after it with it. But I really 0:23:20.760 --> 0:23:23.919 I have noticed that Rico does come in in that 0:23:24.000 --> 0:23:27.520 fourth quarter and he's he's bruising, like I'm sure that 0:23:27.640 --> 0:23:30.760 he's exhausting for some of those those defenders that have 0:23:30.800 --> 0:23:34.119 been dealing with kind of chasing Tony and trying to 0:23:34.160 --> 0:23:37.480 deal with his speed. But I like the one two 0:23:37.520 --> 0:23:39.959 punch right now. I will say that with Tony Pollard, 0:23:40.000 --> 0:23:40.640 I think he ran. 0:23:40.840 --> 0:23:41.399 We talked about it. 0:23:41.440 --> 0:23:43.359 He did. He ran effectively through the tackles, he had 0:23:43.400 --> 0:23:47.680 some physical play. Miss would love to see some more 0:23:47.880 --> 0:23:51.240 receiver Tony and using him still as even though he 0:23:51.280 --> 0:23:53.480 is a running back and he's your number one running back. 0:23:53.840 --> 0:23:56.399 It would be nice to see him do some of 0:23:56.400 --> 0:23:58.440 that will route stuff that we've seen him do, come 0:23:58.480 --> 0:24:02.160 out the backfield as a passer, because that's also gonna 0:24:02.200 --> 0:24:04.560 help with what we were just talking about with these 0:24:04.640 --> 0:24:07.520 dbs playing up so close and on how they're acting, 0:24:07.920 --> 0:24:10.000 this is gonna that can open up some things too, 0:24:10.080 --> 0:24:11.480 also for you in the passing game. 0:24:11.560 --> 0:24:12.160 So I was. 0:24:12.119 --> 0:24:15.359 Looking at that like, love how they've been using Tony. 0:24:15.400 --> 0:24:18.480 It's been effective. He's been effective, Rico has been effective. 0:24:19.080 --> 0:24:21.000 It's just again when you get in that red area, 0:24:21.040 --> 0:24:22.840 things get a lot tighter and then you're having the 0:24:22.840 --> 0:24:23.680 penalties as well. 0:24:23.760 --> 0:24:27.160 So loved how they use Hunter Liftkey this week too. 0:24:27.640 --> 0:24:31.200 He's doing some lead blocking stuff and he's becoming far 0:24:31.320 --> 0:24:34.760 more and more effective every week as a as a blocker, 0:24:34.880 --> 0:24:36.879 and am using him as a fullback got him in 0:24:36.880 --> 0:24:39.880 some passing situations. So the usage of the running backs 0:24:39.880 --> 0:24:41.640 all in all, to answer your question, I think has 0:24:41.680 --> 0:24:46.080 been creative. It's been and it seems balanced right now. 0:24:46.320 --> 0:24:48.679 Besides the fact, I wouldn't mind seeing a little bit 0:24:48.680 --> 0:24:49.360 more Rico. 0:24:50.960 --> 0:24:53.560 Anybody well with the usage you because just to your 0:24:53.600 --> 0:24:56.600 point what you were saying about, how you know how 0:24:56.760 --> 0:24:58.960 much Tony has gotten the ball these past couple of weeks. 0:24:59.000 --> 0:25:01.800 He ended up with twenty six touches on Sunday if 0:25:01.800 --> 0:25:04.840 you combine the rushing and receiving, and that's thirty two 0:25:05.000 --> 0:25:08.720 the week before. That's a lot, you know, for a 0:25:08.760 --> 0:25:12.760 guy who in his career, you know, shared the load 0:25:12.880 --> 0:25:15.920 with Zeke coming into this year, and so I think 0:25:15.960 --> 0:25:19.320 it's going to be interesting because even when we were 0:25:19.359 --> 0:25:22.600 talking about lineman and giving these young linemen more practice 0:25:22.840 --> 0:25:26.480 time during the week, I think that that Tony's going 0:25:26.560 --> 0:25:29.600 to be pulled back. I think some of these practices, 0:25:29.680 --> 0:25:32.960 these Wednesday and some of these Thursday practices just to 0:25:33.080 --> 0:25:36.320 kind of make sure that you know, they That's why 0:25:36.320 --> 0:25:39.160 they have those trackers, the GPS stuff. And I wouldn't 0:25:39.200 --> 0:25:42.000 be surprised if the threshold is maybe down a little 0:25:42.000 --> 0:25:43.920 bit because you don't want to use Tony up. We're 0:25:43.960 --> 0:25:45.080 only three games. 0:25:44.760 --> 0:25:47.560 In, yeah, and you need him, you get him. 0:25:47.400 --> 0:25:50.119 All yeah, And that's why it's so great that that 0:25:50.280 --> 0:25:52.159 Rico is showing his value. 0:25:52.320 --> 0:25:53.560 I'm so excited for Rico. 0:25:54.240 --> 0:25:58.640 Oh he's a good day, good day. He's a nice family. 0:25:58.840 --> 0:26:01.240 Oh he's so He's so great and he's such a 0:26:01.320 --> 0:26:05.760 quiet guy, but his explosiveness speaks for himself. I mean, 0:26:06.040 --> 0:26:09.360 I started talking to Rico more this off season after. 0:26:09.640 --> 0:26:10.959 I want to say it was OTAs. 0:26:11.560 --> 0:26:14.359 I saw him and I was like, oh wow, I 0:26:14.520 --> 0:26:16.359 just we hadn't seen Rico in so long, and that 0:26:16.480 --> 0:26:19.439 was my first time seeing him in person, you know, 0:26:19.480 --> 0:26:23.200 at a practice capacity like that, and he just instantly 0:26:23.240 --> 0:26:25.480 stood out to me, Minni camp OTAs. So I went 0:26:25.560 --> 0:26:27.639 and I introduced myself and I talked to him, and 0:26:28.040 --> 0:26:29.919 I just told him, you look really good, you know, 0:26:29.960 --> 0:26:31.720 And he, you know, started talking to me a little 0:26:31.720 --> 0:26:35.080 bit more and more every week because he doesn't open 0:26:35.160 --> 0:26:35.840 up right away. 0:26:36.280 --> 0:26:38.600 Kay, he's kind of a quiet guy. He was on 0:26:38.680 --> 0:26:41.000 IR last year, so people aren't you know, they're not 0:26:41.040 --> 0:26:41.640 bothering him. 0:26:42.359 --> 0:26:43.760 He was a little weird a that He's like, why 0:26:43.800 --> 0:26:44.560 is she talking to me? 0:26:45.080 --> 0:26:47.360 So we started talking more and more, and then there 0:26:47.359 --> 0:26:50.400 was an event here in Dallas called sports Con and 0:26:50.440 --> 0:26:54.840 he appeared there and he was doing. He was doing pictures, 0:26:54.880 --> 0:26:57.359 autographs with fans, and then he did some stuff on 0:26:57.480 --> 0:26:59.800 media row and that's when I caught up with him. 0:26:59.800 --> 0:27:01.520 I was walking around with him, I was talking to him, 0:27:01.520 --> 0:27:05.040 and that was really when we clicked because he had 0:27:05.040 --> 0:27:07.240 told me how he spent his weeks off, his six 0:27:07.280 --> 0:27:10.080 weeks off. It was after a rookie mini camp OTAs 0:27:10.600 --> 0:27:13.000 that that part of the season, and then he told 0:27:13.040 --> 0:27:15.439 me he went on a cruise with his family and 0:27:15.480 --> 0:27:17.359 he said, I didn't realize I was afraid of water 0:27:17.600 --> 0:27:20.200 until that cruise. Like, that's kind of the wrong time 0:27:20.280 --> 0:27:23.760 to figure that out, man. So Ever, since then, I 0:27:23.800 --> 0:27:25.399 go check on him in the locker room, see how 0:27:25.400 --> 0:27:27.600 he's doing, see how he's feeling. And it was funny 0:27:27.600 --> 0:27:31.640 because I want to say it was after the Giants game. 0:27:31.680 --> 0:27:34.600 I told him, when's your touchdown coming? He said, hopefully soon. 0:27:34.720 --> 0:27:37.520 I said, yeah, I'll be waiting for it and be 0:27:37.640 --> 0:27:39.720 right here to talk to you when it happens. So 0:27:39.800 --> 0:27:41.480 in the following week told him the same thing, and 0:27:41.520 --> 0:27:42.960 so this week, I'm very excited to go in the 0:27:43.000 --> 0:27:46.080 locker room be like, look, I'm not saying I predicted this, 0:27:46.800 --> 0:27:50.240 but he's he is such a hard worker. He was 0:27:50.280 --> 0:27:53.200 overlooked for so long for how hard he works. Yes, 0:27:53.280 --> 0:27:56.480 injury has overshadowed his productivity during his time here. But 0:27:56.560 --> 0:27:59.800 he's doing everything in his power to stay healthy, and 0:28:00.160 --> 0:28:02.480 he has talked about that with me multiple times. He's 0:28:02.560 --> 0:28:06.280 changed how he eats, he changes how he handles post 0:28:06.400 --> 0:28:09.399 workouts and post practice and how he's taking care of 0:28:09.440 --> 0:28:12.960 his body. So oh, that is my Rico soapbox for 0:28:13.000 --> 0:28:15.399 the day. But Christy, I wanted to talk to you 0:28:15.400 --> 0:28:18.600 about something because I'm looking back at the play log 0:28:18.840 --> 0:28:21.679 or at the playlist from yesterday or oh my goodness 0:28:21.680 --> 0:28:25.960 from Sunday, and there's four fifty eight left in the game. 0:28:26.280 --> 0:28:28.080 This is Cowboys. 0:28:28.280 --> 0:28:32.920 The Cowboys offense, last drive, essentially, last chance to get 0:28:33.000 --> 0:28:36.959 the points on the board. There was h Let's see 0:28:37.440 --> 0:28:40.080 one run, Tony Pollared up the middle for five yards, 0:28:40.880 --> 0:28:42.880 no huddle, by the way, and then they go no 0:28:42.960 --> 0:28:45.560 huddle again, Tony puddle, Tony Pollard up the middle for 0:28:45.800 --> 0:28:49.239 six yards, and then you're on the Arizona five. At 0:28:49.240 --> 0:28:53.240 this point, shotgun, Tony Pollared up the middle negative two 0:28:53.280 --> 0:28:58.200 yards and then again Tony Pollard left tackle tackled by 0:28:58.240 --> 0:29:01.520 Arizona for one yard at that point you're on the 0:29:01.520 --> 0:29:04.600 Arizona six. And then the interception happens in the end 0:29:04.680 --> 0:29:09.120 zone as Dak tries to make a pass to Brandon Cooks. 0:29:10.720 --> 0:29:12.280 What do you think of the play calling there to 0:29:12.360 --> 0:29:15.520 run the ball with four minutes left in potentially what 0:29:15.600 --> 0:29:16.880 you know, could be your last shot. 0:29:16.920 --> 0:29:20.280 I thank everyone from the sideline up in the Cowboys 0:29:20.360 --> 0:29:24.080 radio booths, everybody watching on TV, all the Cowboy fans 0:29:24.080 --> 0:29:26.760 that at State Farm Stadium? 0:29:26.960 --> 0:29:28.000 Why are you running the ball? 0:29:28.040 --> 0:29:29.040 O'clock is running? 0:29:29.080 --> 0:29:29.320 Well? 0:29:29.760 --> 0:29:33.640 Mike McCarthy when asked about it yesterday, he admits, I 0:29:33.680 --> 0:29:38.200 should have been more aggressive there, so you know, hey, 0:29:38.560 --> 0:29:41.400 he felt like with the timeouts that he had that 0:29:41.880 --> 0:29:44.000 they'd be able to get the ball in and then 0:29:44.120 --> 0:29:47.160 still have time to you know, get done what they 0:29:47.200 --> 0:29:52.280 need to do. But in hindsight, Mike agrees, you know, 0:29:52.440 --> 0:29:54.520 should have been more aggressive. Should they have thrown on 0:29:54.560 --> 0:29:57.080 the second down or the third down play? Well, of 0:29:57.080 --> 0:30:00.400 course everything's in is twenty twenty and in high insight, 0:30:00.520 --> 0:30:03.960 but coaches don't always admit that. But but Mike, Mike 0:30:04.040 --> 0:30:05.000 did yesterday. 0:30:05.320 --> 0:30:08.160 Yeah, I mean he was running the ball because they 0:30:08.240 --> 0:30:08.800 was giving him. 0:30:09.320 --> 0:30:11.880 It goes back to what we said, they're giving. 0:30:11.640 --> 0:30:16.840 It to you, you know, And honestly, I mean I 0:30:16.920 --> 0:30:19.880 wasn't a huge fan of it too, But they had time. 0:30:21.080 --> 0:30:22.960 There was time. Yeah, there's not a wrong answer. 0:30:23.000 --> 0:30:24.840 When they made the past, when they made the pass 0:30:24.840 --> 0:30:27.959 to the end zone, at that point, they did have 0:30:28.120 --> 0:30:30.000 enough time if they wanted to go for two or 0:30:30.040 --> 0:30:31.200 whatever if they had scored. 0:30:31.840 --> 0:30:33.960 So yeah, at that point there was three or three 0:30:34.120 --> 0:30:36.160 h five left when the past was made. 0:30:36.160 --> 0:30:39.840 So I wasn't Personally, I wasn't mad. I wasn't super 0:30:39.920 --> 0:30:43.520 upset about it, and especially given just how aggressive their 0:30:43.600 --> 0:30:46.880 dvs have been playing and biting on everything and stuff. 0:30:46.920 --> 0:30:48.880 I was like, oh, that that makes sense. I mean, 0:30:49.280 --> 0:30:51.280 you gotta go fast, but it makes sense. 0:30:51.760 --> 0:30:55.320 But it wasn't I mean, yeah, we can be critical 0:30:55.360 --> 0:30:55.640 of it. 0:30:55.640 --> 0:30:57.880 Yeah, like you would have wanted him to pass there 0:30:58.360 --> 0:31:00.880 or whatever. I just I don't want them. 0:31:00.720 --> 0:31:02.360 To be scared. 0:31:02.640 --> 0:31:05.520 I also like, yeah, but I also feel like in 0:31:05.560 --> 0:31:09.280 a normal situation to where maybe if the defense was 0:31:09.320 --> 0:31:12.480 playing like you know, they're capable of playing like they 0:31:12.480 --> 0:31:14.840 played the first two games of the season. This is 0:31:14.840 --> 0:31:19.320 obviously not their best showing. You don't want Arizona to 0:31:19.360 --> 0:31:21.520 have the ball for a long period of time too 0:31:21.600 --> 0:31:24.760 at that point, knowing kind of where things were with 0:31:24.760 --> 0:31:27.480 the defense throughout the rest of the game. So I 0:31:27.480 --> 0:31:29.600 can understand it from that perspective of you run the 0:31:29.600 --> 0:31:32.720 ball to kind of kill time because you don't want 0:31:32.760 --> 0:31:33.360 the Cardinals to. 0:31:33.360 --> 0:31:34.000 Have the map back. 0:31:34.200 --> 0:31:37.040 It was a two possession game, so you needed to scores, 0:31:37.360 --> 0:31:39.360 you know, hopefully as quickly as you can. 0:31:40.240 --> 0:31:41.840 The thing about it, though, it's one of those things. 0:31:41.880 --> 0:31:45.120 If it worked, it would have been great. We wouldn't 0:31:45.120 --> 0:31:46.280 be talking about it if it worked. 0:31:47.080 --> 0:31:50.640 Ernie's Zmpezi, the great play caller for when the greatest 0:31:50.680 --> 0:31:53.720 in NFL history and spent time in the nineties, you know, 0:31:53.840 --> 0:31:56.920 winning Super Bowls as the coordinator for the Cowboys, and 0:31:57.440 --> 0:31:59.960 Ernie always says, you know how you define a good 0:32:00.040 --> 0:32:00.560 play call? 0:32:01.240 --> 0:32:05.040 It works there period.

Okay, let's talk a 0:33:54.800 --> 0:33:58.600 little bit of defense before we officially close the books 0:33:58.680 --> 0:34:01.000 on this loss that I think everybody is ready to 0:34:01.120 --> 0:34:04.240 just kind of turn the page on this week. 0:34:05.640 --> 0:34:11.680 A Yasha, you went, Oh my gosh, I love you. 0:34:11.680 --> 0:34:13.400 You went back, you watched things. 0:34:13.560 --> 0:34:17.759 Biggest takeaway from the Cowboys defense obviously run defense. We 0:34:17.880 --> 0:34:21.400 know we've talked about that. We understand that that was 0:34:21.440 --> 0:34:25.520 an issue. But again, a very uncharacteristic game. And I 0:34:25.560 --> 0:34:27.719 think that is the word that describes it the best. 0:34:27.760 --> 0:34:29.920 By them, What did you get out of it? 0:34:31.000 --> 0:34:34.600 They just they just gotta play sound football, Like it 0:34:34.719 --> 0:34:38.640 sounds really simple, but there was just so many guys 0:34:38.680 --> 0:34:42.560 like doing other people's jobs and not filling gaps, like 0:34:42.600 --> 0:34:47.799 they didn't tackle super well. And I just think, like 0:34:47.840 --> 0:34:50.000 I said, Jaron Kurs said it last. He said it 0:34:50.440 --> 0:34:53.480 in his postgame interview, he said their will was stronger 0:34:53.520 --> 0:34:56.319 than ours, and in a lot of instances it was 0:34:56.480 --> 0:35:00.719 like that they were not the more physical team on 0:35:00.800 --> 0:35:03.759 that side of the ball, and that it just never 0:35:03.800 --> 0:35:06.640 came to fruition for them. I will say that in 0:35:06.680 --> 0:35:09.000 the second half there did seem like there were some 0:35:09.040 --> 0:35:11.600 adjustments made. They came out there, they got the stop 0:35:12.040 --> 0:35:14.560 at first of the third quarter, then to Cavante Turpin, 0:35:14.600 --> 0:35:16.560 that's that big return and it gets called back, but 0:35:17.320 --> 0:35:20.120 they I mean, I think Arizona scored on that big 0:35:20.160 --> 0:35:22.680 play and that was it for them that in that half. 0:35:22.800 --> 0:35:25.759 So they buckled down and they played better ball. But 0:35:26.800 --> 0:35:29.319 there were times that there were times that they did 0:35:29.360 --> 0:35:32.479 play straight up and they looked like the better team, 0:35:32.560 --> 0:35:35.640 but it just was I don't know, man, it was 0:35:35.760 --> 0:35:38.239 just it was it was weird. You had guys like 0:35:38.320 --> 0:35:41.400 jay Ron Curse like getting turned around, and it's just 0:35:42.520 --> 0:35:46.640 it just never felt like they It just never felt 0:35:46.719 --> 0:35:49.200 like they were they were mentally in it, and I 0:35:49.360 --> 0:35:51.640 just never I don't know if I've ever seen them 0:35:51.680 --> 0:35:55.960 play that undisciplined in that way as far as their assignment. 0:35:56.080 --> 0:36:00.319 So I think they'll pick it up turn around. Yeah, 0:36:00.320 --> 0:36:01.000 I think they'll pay. 0:36:01.120 --> 0:36:04.359 Oh yeah, I think they'll pick it up. Oh yeah, yeah. 0:36:04.440 --> 0:36:07.759 Dan Quinn used his verbiage yesterday really spoke to I know, 0:36:07.800 --> 0:36:08.360 me and Jesse. 0:36:08.400 --> 0:36:10.200 He said, it hurt him, you. 0:36:10.160 --> 0:36:13.480 Know, just how things came to fruition, and but I 0:36:13.480 --> 0:36:16.040 do want to say that I do believe and it 0:36:16.160 --> 0:36:18.080 just is what it is. And I know that everyone's like, 0:36:18.160 --> 0:36:20.600 next man up. Dan Quinn alluded to this and everything. 0:36:20.880 --> 0:36:24.239 I do think that emotionally they would that there was 0:36:24.280 --> 0:36:26.560 a rough emotional week for these guys, especially at the 0:36:26.640 --> 0:36:27.120 end of the week. 0:36:27.200 --> 0:36:27.880 So we'll see. 0:36:28.160 --> 0:36:30.440 Give them some time left them, let them regroup and 0:36:30.440 --> 0:36:32.600 go out there and play, you know, play their ball, 0:36:32.840 --> 0:36:34.760 play the play ball the way they're supposed to. Because 0:36:34.760 --> 0:36:36.200 this this wasn't this wasn't it. 0:36:36.520 --> 0:36:39.120 Yeah, And I love what dan Quinn said, and it 0:36:39.160 --> 0:36:42.120 goes to what you said, this wasn't characteristic of the cowboys, 0:36:42.360 --> 0:36:45.040 and like you say, that's what really hurt him. He 0:36:45.040 --> 0:36:48.080 he said, what really hit me, like five fingers across 0:36:48.080 --> 0:36:52.160 the face, was you guys didn't look like your defense right. 0:36:52.239 --> 0:36:56.720 They weren't playing fast they you know, And he also 0:36:56.800 --> 0:36:59.720 noted we'll grow from this. I have no doubt at all, 0:37:00.200 --> 0:37:03.520 but he said it was misfitting. They weren't in their 0:37:03.560 --> 0:37:06.560 fits right, and so that's the before you can make that. 0:37:06.680 --> 0:37:08.680 You got to be in the right place. You got 0:37:08.840 --> 0:37:11.120 to you got to be in the gap, right. You 0:37:11.200 --> 0:37:14.359 got to handle the backside if they and so if 0:37:14.400 --> 0:37:17.799 you're not alignment assignment, if you're not, if you're not 0:37:17.880 --> 0:37:21.640 in your fits, then not only are you not going 0:37:21.719 --> 0:37:24.279 to make the play, but they're gonna they're gonna get 0:37:24.280 --> 0:37:27.759 through and into the you know, uh second part and 0:37:28.160 --> 0:37:32.200 then through your defensive backfield. So yeah, and he also 0:37:32.239 --> 0:37:34.800 said what really hurt us was the five big runs 0:37:34.880 --> 0:37:38.440 that he says the explosives in the first half, they 0:37:38.480 --> 0:37:42.600 weren't due to physicality, they were due to job assignments. 0:37:42.280 --> 0:37:45.480 It's not in your fit, not in the gap right, 0:37:45.640 --> 0:37:48.759 not doing your job. And the one other thing I 0:37:48.800 --> 0:37:51.440 want to say is because on that one long pass 0:37:51.560 --> 0:37:54.399 play to Wilson, I believe it was and we saw 0:37:54.480 --> 0:37:58.440 Malik Hooker chasing and stuff, and so Wilson was on 0:37:58.560 --> 0:38:00.960 it like in the left slot, gets the release, no 0:38:01.040 --> 0:38:04.840 one carries him. He ends up getting making the catch 0:38:04.880 --> 0:38:08.080 across the field left to right, and Malik Hooker chases 0:38:08.160 --> 0:38:11.400 him down and saves the touchdown. But huge play, And 0:38:11.440 --> 0:38:13.719 he said that that was not Hooker. It was good 0:38:13.760 --> 0:38:15.960 for MALIEK. Cooker just to even catch him, to make 0:38:16.000 --> 0:38:20.600 the the tackle to save the touchdown. But just because 0:38:20.640 --> 0:38:23.359 it's the guy that's chasen to make it doesn't mean 0:38:23.400 --> 0:38:26.239 that that was his guy. So he you know, he's 0:38:26.239 --> 0:38:29.320 not going to call out what specifically happened on the play, 0:38:29.360 --> 0:38:31.880 but I know a lot of us assume, oh weak, 0:38:32.800 --> 0:38:35.120 it wasn't even his guy. I also liked, yeah, yeah, 0:38:35.120 --> 0:38:37.600 it was a lack of communication. You're exactly right. 0:38:37.640 --> 0:38:40.840 And I also liked that Dan was quick to you 0:38:40.960 --> 0:38:44.359 mentioned that the Cowboys only missed six tackles during his game, 0:38:44.480 --> 0:38:46.440 So it wasn't a bad tackling game. 0:38:47.000 --> 0:38:49.000 It just wasn't their best game. 0:38:49.239 --> 0:38:51.400 If you're not if you're not in your fit to 0:38:51.400 --> 0:38:52.520 make the tackle. 0:38:52.280 --> 0:38:54.160 Yeah you can't. Yeah, you can't. 0:38:55.560 --> 0:39:02.600 Defensive line. Defensive line, you know, square, square your feet. Yeah, 0:39:02.960 --> 0:39:05.600 play your assignment, guys, you know, play for your brother. 0:39:05.640 --> 0:39:09.200 Because there was a lot of uh, it was a 0:39:09.200 --> 0:39:11.480 lot of guys. They talked about it last year, you know, 0:39:11.640 --> 0:39:16.080 earning the earning the opportunity to rush the passer and 0:39:16.160 --> 0:39:19.040 to and so I really did think that a lot 0:39:19.120 --> 0:39:22.279 of guys were getting a field. They were really I 0:39:22.320 --> 0:39:25.160 mean even the nose tackles, even like the dts were 0:39:25.239 --> 0:39:27.799 just so fast off the ball. Just looking for them 0:39:27.840 --> 0:39:32.040 to be a little bit more patient. And and yeah, 0:39:32.160 --> 0:39:33.280 and yes. 0:39:33.120 --> 0:39:35.680 We had OsO Diggi Zoo on last night on the 0:39:35.719 --> 0:39:38.560 Cowboys Hour, the Miller like Cowboys Hour, and you know 0:39:38.600 --> 0:39:42.839 he was he was straight up with yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely, 0:39:42.920 --> 0:39:45.200 but and we were, you know, we shared some of 0:39:45.239 --> 0:39:47.960 the things that because it was right after dan Quinn's 0:39:49.120 --> 0:39:52.719 post press conference Monday afternoon press conference, and so a 0:39:52.760 --> 0:39:54.920 lot of the things that he told the media are 0:39:54.920 --> 0:39:58.400 basically the same things that he's you know, the players 0:39:58.480 --> 0:40:02.320 they all know, yeah, you know, and Osa said basically 0:40:02.360 --> 0:40:04.080 the same things. Hey, we're going to grow from this. 0:40:04.200 --> 0:40:06.759 We make the corrections and you can't get too high 0:40:06.840 --> 0:40:08.080 or to like you know a lot of them are 0:40:08.200 --> 0:40:11.160 just kind of the same maxims and truisms that you 0:40:11.239 --> 0:40:15.600 hear week to week. But but no, I mean, you're right, 0:40:16.000 --> 0:40:17.440 it's personal. 0:40:17.600 --> 0:40:21.000 It's personal because these guys when they because they love 0:40:21.080 --> 0:40:23.560 them some dan Quinn, they play for him and to 0:40:23.600 --> 0:40:25.480 hear and for each other yes, ma'am. 0:40:25.520 --> 0:40:26.200 And for them to. 0:40:26.160 --> 0:40:30.279 Say to know he was that disappointed in their performance, 0:40:30.400 --> 0:40:32.760 I think it makes a huge difference. 0:40:33.120 --> 0:40:34.080 And that's why go ahead. 0:40:34.120 --> 0:40:36.800 And I also think though he wasn't just dissipate pointed 0:40:36.840 --> 0:40:39.239 in their performance, he was disappointed in his performance as 0:40:39.239 --> 0:40:41.920 a coach as well, tracking because he also took accountability 0:40:42.000 --> 0:40:45.759 for his part in the loss. So that's another thing 0:40:45.840 --> 0:40:48.280 that I appreciate about Dan Quinn is he's not sitting 0:40:48.280 --> 0:40:49.080 there saying it was. 0:40:49.080 --> 0:40:52.120 All your fault. Ohsa, it was all your fault. Don know. 0:40:52.360 --> 0:40:55.560 He's not pointing fingers, he's not throwing anybody under the bus. 0:40:55.560 --> 0:40:58.600 He first thing he said was I take accountability for 0:40:58.640 --> 0:41:00.840 what I did wrong as a coach and setting my 0:41:00.960 --> 0:41:04.080 guys up to not be you know, prepared enough. And 0:41:04.880 --> 0:41:07.120 that went across the board yesterday anything. 0:41:07.200 --> 0:41:09.359 Yeah, right, okay, I tried. 0:41:11.160 --> 0:41:12.440 It's okay. 0:41:12.600 --> 0:41:15.640 If anything that you can take away from yesterday's coordinator 0:41:15.840 --> 0:41:19.319 and coordinator press conferences and then Micha McCarthy as they 0:41:19.360 --> 0:41:21.640 all took accountability. There was not one that didn't take 0:41:21.640 --> 0:41:22.440 accountability for me. 0:41:22.520 --> 0:41:25.040 Yeah, And I love I love what John Fossil said. 0:41:25.920 --> 0:41:32.120 John Fossil, the special teams coordinator who put the little 0:41:32.719 --> 0:41:38.600 Yorkie in the y man. So in regards to the 0:41:38.640 --> 0:41:41.759 sixty two yard field goal that Matt Prater hit at, 0:41:41.760 --> 0:41:45.280 which I mean, when you have to kick the ball 0:41:45.320 --> 0:41:48.200 that far, it's going to be a very low trajectory. 0:41:48.520 --> 0:41:50.440 I can tell yeah, I've in twenty five years on 0:41:50.440 --> 0:41:53.319 the sideline, I've never seen one that low. 0:41:53.480 --> 0:41:53.920 It looks. 0:41:54.280 --> 0:41:56.399 I don't think it ever got like eighteen to twenty 0:41:56.480 --> 0:41:59.960 feet off the ground. Seriously, the crossbars ten feet up, 0:42:00.160 --> 0:42:03.440 all right, and that ball was fair. It didn't have 0:42:03.520 --> 0:42:06.120 much art art to it, right, it was. It was 0:42:06.160 --> 0:42:09.319 pretty much a line drive. But here's the thing. When 0:42:09.440 --> 0:42:14.239 field goal kickers have to do longer attempts, then it 0:42:14.320 --> 0:42:16.120 has to be more line drive. They have to get 0:42:16.160 --> 0:42:17.920 more strength behind it. It's not going to be some 0:42:18.080 --> 0:42:22.400 high arching kick. Well that's when that's when it's ripe 0:42:22.440 --> 0:42:26.000 for blocks, right, So get your hands up. And so 0:42:26.200 --> 0:42:29.400 one of the things that John Fossil said was he 0:42:29.640 --> 0:42:31.920 wished that he had done a different call on that. 0:42:32.400 --> 0:42:35.000 He says, I could have made a call where I 0:42:35.080 --> 0:42:39.040 had one more hand up there, and I wish I 0:42:39.160 --> 0:42:43.560 had I had made that call. Now would it have 0:42:43.719 --> 0:42:47.120 resulted in a block. Well, we'll never know, but I 0:42:47.200 --> 0:42:50.080 love that Bones speaks to the media, you know that 0:42:50.120 --> 0:42:52.560 we get to hear special teams as well as offense 0:42:52.600 --> 0:42:56.319 and defense. And he's the most honest, you know, free 0:42:56.360 --> 0:42:59.319 flowing guy out there. He's so much fun to listen to. 0:42:59.840 --> 0:43:02.600 But when you talk about accountability, it's like, man, I 0:43:02.600 --> 0:43:04.480 wish I just I wish I had that callback and 0:43:04.640 --> 0:43:05.840 what if I would have done this? 0:43:06.080 --> 0:43:09.120 Yeah, and now that everyone is taking accountability. 0:43:08.840 --> 0:43:13.040 Yeah, apply it apple, see you adjust. 0:43:13.320 --> 0:43:17.040 I mean I thoroughly enjoyed, you know, hearing them own 0:43:17.120 --> 0:43:19.600 up to some of the mistakes. It's it's always rewarding 0:43:19.680 --> 0:43:22.280 for someone like me, especially that because I'm still learning 0:43:22.640 --> 0:43:24.719 to go in there and be able to speak to 0:43:24.760 --> 0:43:27.160 them and they reassure me in a way that what 0:43:27.280 --> 0:43:29.480 I'm seeing on film is correct. Is I think that's 0:43:29.719 --> 0:43:32.520 It's one of the most valuable things I get from this. 0:43:32.640 --> 0:43:37.200 And I'm like, okay, okay, boss, Like you told me 0:43:37.280 --> 0:43:39.480 that this is something that you want to work on 0:43:39.520 --> 0:43:41.120 and that is fixed, and that's the good thing. Like 0:43:41.160 --> 0:43:42.359 we talked about, though, it was a. 0:43:42.280 --> 0:43:44.439 Lot of a lot of the things that we saw 0:43:44.560 --> 0:43:45.160 rear their head. 0:43:45.239 --> 0:43:48.759 This week are fixable things. There are things that can 0:43:48.800 --> 0:43:51.960 be corrected. They're not guys just getting your guys are 0:43:51.960 --> 0:43:55.320 not just getting beat out there. And so we'll definitely 0:43:55.320 --> 0:43:58.799 get to see, you know, how this defense adjusts and 0:43:58.840 --> 0:44:02.520 then how this offense adjust as well, and even special teams. 0:44:03.160 --> 0:44:06.400 I got something to share with the viewers and the 0:44:06.480 --> 0:44:09.120 listeners who if you love, if you love to learn 0:44:09.160 --> 0:44:13.120 about football and break things down Bill Belichick. Obviously, the 0:44:13.160 --> 0:44:16.440 Patriots come into town and Bill is notorious for not 0:44:16.440 --> 0:44:19.080 giving anything to media that would be just be the 0:44:19.200 --> 0:44:21.399 worst to have to cover that team, but he does, 0:44:21.840 --> 0:44:22.680 he does do it. 0:44:23.200 --> 0:44:24.600 He's he supports. 0:44:25.280 --> 0:44:27.680 I won't I won't say who was at at and 0:44:27.719 --> 0:44:31.720 T Stadium back in the spring to see Taylor Swift 0:44:32.080 --> 0:44:36.640 m m wow mm hmmm. So I didn't say that. 0:44:36.560 --> 0:44:39.400 He was also see he saw multiple shows. He's a 0:44:39.719 --> 0:44:40.880 he's a swiftie. 0:44:41.040 --> 0:44:41.719 So here's the thing. 0:44:41.760 --> 0:44:44.200 But one thing that he does do and if you 0:44:44.280 --> 0:44:46.680 if you're a football junkie, you'll enjoy this. And even 0:44:46.680 --> 0:44:48.360 if you're not a junkie but you just want to 0:44:48.440 --> 0:44:51.200 learn a little bit. On the New England Patriots site, 0:44:51.239 --> 0:44:53.960 you go to video multimedia, just like when you go 0:44:53.960 --> 0:44:57.680 to Dallas Cowboys dot com. But it's called Belichick Breakdown, 0:44:58.080 --> 0:45:00.880 and so his coaches showed that he does each week. 0:45:01.120 --> 0:45:03.880 It's him and a host and it's Bill at a 0:45:03.960 --> 0:45:07.239 teleprompter and they'll be I'm sorry, not a teleprompter, I 0:45:07.320 --> 0:45:11.160 tell a straighter and he he'll do about five or 0:45:11.160 --> 0:45:15.640 six plays from the previous game. So Belichick Breakdown, you'll 0:45:15.640 --> 0:45:18.239 find it on the video. I've already watched the one 0:45:18.320 --> 0:45:21.240 from their win over the Jets fifteen to ten. They're 0:45:21.320 --> 0:45:23.960 one and two now on the season. But it's really 0:45:24.320 --> 0:45:26.520 it's really cool, and he doesn't go into a lot 0:45:26.560 --> 0:45:29.680 of coach speak, but here's one of the greatest football 0:45:29.719 --> 0:45:32.040 coaches of all time and he's breaking down plays and. 0:45:32.040 --> 0:45:35.160 So you know when you can pick up a little nugguget, Yeah, 0:45:35.480 --> 0:45:38.560 well I love that.
