Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallascowboys dot Com and
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 2: Cowboys.
Speaker 1: This is Girls Talk Boys Talk, presented by Jigsaw Dating,
Speaker 1: preferred dating partner of the Dallas Cowboys, and broadcasting live
Speaker 1: from Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters at.
Speaker 2: The Star.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 4: Hello, Welcome back to Girls Talk, Boys Talk, presented by Jigsath,
Speaker 4: the preferre dating partner of the Dallas Cowboys. Christy Scales,
Speaker 4: Ashmores and Jess and Bars here with you on this Tuesday.
Speaker 4: We're Tuesday or Wednesday, Guys, We're Tuesday, Tuesday afternoon.
Speaker 3: Had a little bit of a moment there here.
Speaker 4: At the beautiful, beautiful Star in Frisco where it is
Speaker 4: hot outside. Guys, it says it's ninety three It does
Speaker 4: not feel like it's ninety three outside. I don't know
Speaker 4: if you've been outside. It's officially fall allegedly.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: The only thing Phil and Fall like is the football
Speaker 4: season is here. But other than that, we are going
Speaker 4: to discuss we left off yesterday. What the coordinators and
Speaker 4: head coach mc McCarthy we're going to say post loss
Speaker 4: to the Arizona Cardinals. We're gonna break that down for
Speaker 4: one last day before we officially turned the page here
Speaker 4: on the podcast and we start looking into the Week
Speaker 4: four matchup against the Patriots. A lot to talk about,
Speaker 4: so let's start with the offense. Aisha, yesterday you had
Speaker 4: a fantastic question to Mike McCarthy which went noted on Twitter,
Speaker 4: and I'm glad it did because it was very insightful and.
Speaker 3: It just shows you always have football smarts.
Speaker 4: So hello to anybody that didn't notice that. Let's talk
Speaker 4: about that because you asked him specifically about the tight
Speaker 4: end group and a big conversation this week is red
Speaker 4: zone lack of production and not capitalizing when you're in
Speaker 4: the red zone. When the Cowboys in the red zone,
Speaker 4: they can't find the end zone. So how did the
Speaker 4: tight ends tie into that?
Speaker 3: Asha? What have you noticed?
Speaker 4: You went back, you watched the film and you have
Speaker 4: key points that can help this team excel in what
Speaker 4: they need to work on.
Speaker 5: What are they So my question was, you know, Coach,
Speaker 5: there's you know in the West Coast system, the vertical
Speaker 5: threat is important just because of how you're using so
Speaker 5: much of the intermediate and short field yardist to just
Speaker 5: move down the field. You're trying to you know, control
Speaker 5: the clock, do all that stuff. But you know, having
Speaker 5: the vertical threat really, to me, it opens up so
Speaker 5: much of what you want to do because defenses right
Speaker 5: now they're playing tight. They're betting on the fact that
Speaker 5: you're gonna do short passes and stuff. So he mentioned
Speaker 5: the word, you know, he said, they're playing shell defense,
Speaker 5: and so I was like, when you think of shell,
Speaker 5: you think of two high safeties, you know, kind.
Speaker 6: Of soft coverage or whatever.
Speaker 5: But in doing some digging and learning, like shell can
Speaker 5: mean a number of things. So he also went on
Speaker 5: to talk about quarters and say that they're playing quarters defense,
Speaker 5: and the purpose of quarters defense is to take away
Speaker 5: deep shots. What happens is that you have two safeties
Speaker 5: that have a quarter of the field. I kind of
Speaker 5: think of that it like a like a square like
Speaker 5: you know, you know, like yeah, you know, so you
Speaker 5: have they have a quarter of the defense the safety does,
Speaker 5: and then they have their responsibility is there's deep they
Speaker 5: have a deep zone responsibility. So and then the corners,
Speaker 5: the corners have the flat to the zone aerial in
Speaker 5: the area, and then the linebackers cover like the curl
Speaker 5: flat area. So I the the purpose of that is
Speaker 5: to take away the middle of the field. And so
Speaker 5: I've been looking at like, why aren't we really attacking
Speaker 5: the middle of the field consistently with with a lot
Speaker 5: of teams playing cover four, which is like it's only
Speaker 5: one person out there. So my point was was, you
Speaker 5: know what schematically can you do to kind of beat that?
Speaker 5: And what are the things you can do to beat that?
Speaker 5: And you can get behind the linebackers, which we seen
Speaker 5: We saw it last week with Ceedee Lamb with the
Speaker 5: flat slat, which is you're just letting him slip behind
Speaker 5: those linebackers that are kind of playing shallow and you
Speaker 5: know he's going to make the play. And that's also
Speaker 5: why you saw Michael Gallup be so effective this week
Speaker 5: with slants because it's there. But my concern again is
Speaker 5: the fact that defenses are playing you so tight, and
Speaker 5: they're playing so close to the line of scrimmage, and
Speaker 5: they're aggressive, they're biting all stuff and everything because they're
Speaker 5: betting on you not passing the ball deep. So that's
Speaker 5: something that I'm looking for them to establish to kind
Speaker 5: of get these guys off their back and to you know,
Speaker 5: to get some respect there. And so I mean and
Speaker 5: again we thought that, you know, Brandon Cooks would be
Speaker 5: that guy. We thought that that would be something that
Speaker 5: they can do. So really curious to see how they
Speaker 5: scheme that up and how things open up their Chris
Speaker 5: do you guys?
Speaker 6: Yeah, Well, because when you're talking about like using the
Speaker 6: tight ends, I think that a lot of longtime Cowboy
Speaker 6: fans they picture Jason Witten on that sceam route right
Speaker 6: ye on the scene. But again it's how they're playing
Speaker 6: the coverage, quarters and things, so you don't want to
Speaker 6: force it. And so there's a thing there's the old,
Speaker 6: tried but true. You know, you take what the defense
Speaker 6: gives you. Well, it's like, well, why are you taking
Speaker 6: what the defense gives you? You need to assert, you know,
Speaker 6: you be the dominant and you know you give it
Speaker 6: to them. Well no, I mean the coverage dictates where
Speaker 6: the ball is going to go, period. Otherwise you're forcing
Speaker 6: it in and you don't want to do that. The
Speaker 6: other thing where you're talking about with the way that
Speaker 6: some of these defenses were playing and when the linebackers drop,
Speaker 6: I think that a lot of times when we think
Speaker 6: that you really have to have this precision passing and
Speaker 6: fitting the ball in there. You're thinking of a slant
Speaker 6: route or you're thinking of some out route, and the
Speaker 6: quarterback puts the ball right there because there's a defensive
Speaker 6: back draped all over the guy. Now it's oftentimes it's touch,
Speaker 6: it's putting it over the linebacker in front. And so
Speaker 6: those those are difficult throws and you got to be
Speaker 6: just right because if you're a little short, or if
Speaker 6: that linebacker doesn't bite on the play action, you know,
Speaker 6: the fake hand off and react and you know just
Speaker 6: that quarter second of them, you know, delaying their drop
Speaker 6: into coverage. It's it's all interconnected and so you you
Speaker 6: really everybody has to play their part, whether you're the
Speaker 6: running back acting like you're taking the handoff or you
Speaker 6: really got to sell that. So it goes to what
Speaker 6: we've been talking about and what the coaches and players
Speaker 6: have been talking about since early in the off season.
Speaker 6: Knowing your why, your purpose, what is your what is
Speaker 6: your why on this plan?
Speaker 4: Yeah, and to be fair, I think in this game specifically,
Speaker 4: nobody knew what their why was. It leaked all over
Speaker 4: the place, right, nobody knew. Nobody knew how to once
Speaker 4: they were in that deficit, how to how to bounce
Speaker 4: back quickly. And that's okay, because here's the thing. I
Speaker 4: don't see that being an issue this week. They're going
Speaker 4: to hone in on that red zone play this week.
Speaker 3: At practice.
Speaker 4: Micha McCarthy said that yesterday, and I don't necessarily think
Speaker 4: they lost track of like their their whole why it
Speaker 4: was just look on his defense was outsmarting them in
Speaker 4: a lot of ways and that's just kind of what
Speaker 4: it came down to. As far as the red zone though,
Speaker 4: I think this is an interesting topic because we talked
Speaker 4: about this throughout the summer. We talked about this after
Speaker 4: Zeke was released of who is the big red zone
Speaker 4: guy for the Cowboys now, because it was Zeke, right,
Speaker 4: And when Zeke was leading in red zone percentage scoring
Speaker 4: percentage for the Cowboys, he was second. He had the
Speaker 4: second most amount of touchdowns rushing touchdowns in the NFL
Speaker 4: last year. That's a big loss, right, And so, yes,
Speaker 4: the Cowboys are getting to the red zone, and I
Speaker 4: think that can't.
Speaker 3: Be overlooked either. Is that's the hard part.
Speaker 4: Schottenheimer said that yesterday, hardest part is getting there to
Speaker 4: the red zone. It's just continuing to get into the
Speaker 4: end zone. That's the issue.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I mean another thing that you're seeing in
Speaker 5: the red zone is you had the three red zone
Speaker 5: penalties that were huge, but these and that's a big
Speaker 5: part of it, is that those penalties are putting them
Speaker 5: in unfavorable situations when they're in second in goal, but
Speaker 5: it's at the fifteen or second, heir third and goal
Speaker 5: and you're at the ten or something like, you're they
Speaker 5: really I'm really looking for them to get closer to
Speaker 5: the goal line and I think that's going to open
Speaker 5: up your playbook a whole bunch of Shotenheimer talked about
Speaker 5: that as well. The usage of the whole field too,
Speaker 5: is something that I've been looking at because when you
Speaker 5: talk about again, when you start talking about them playing
Speaker 5: quarters and stuff, is that it takes away you know,
Speaker 5: we'll middle of the field open. It takes away part
Speaker 5: of the field, but it's like the offense is taking
Speaker 5: it away on their own and so also too, so
Speaker 5: you look, there's opportunities to attack the left side of
Speaker 5: the field, but it's not there. But anyway back into
Speaker 5: the red zone, stuff getting backed up is hurting them
Speaker 5: and staying ahead of the sticks, you know, Brian Schottenheimer
Speaker 5: mentioned that he mentioned that as well, But I want
Speaker 5: to say that Arizona, you mentioned it.
Speaker 6: They were very disciplined, they play, they were down there.
Speaker 3: Stop saying that about them. They poured gatorade.
Speaker 6: That's fair. It was. It was his first victory as
Speaker 6: a head coach. So that's why they did.
Speaker 3: In the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 4: If you want to make a statement that you're not
Speaker 4: ranked thirty two among thirty two NFL.
Speaker 3: Teams, this was the team to be That's fair.
Speaker 4: It wouldn't have mattered, right because now they can go on,
Speaker 4: they can lose to the forty nine ers and be like, well.
Speaker 3: We are going to beat the cat.
Speaker 6: I want you want him to beat the forty nine
Speaker 6: ers because if things go to form, a lot of
Speaker 6: people think if preseason predictions are correct, Cowboys, Eagles and
Speaker 6: forty nine ers, so a lot of people think are
Speaker 6: the tops of the NFC. But one other thing that
Speaker 6: Schottenheimer said about the red zone offense is that a
Speaker 6: big part of it is scrambles. Now, we did see
Speaker 6: dak on Sunday in Arizona. He had the big play
Speaker 6: that was not in the red zone, but it was
Speaker 6: third and twelve and then he broke the pocket and
Speaker 6: what a great play by him, great effort and execution.
Speaker 6: Believe he got fourteen yards on that to get a
Speaker 6: first down to continue that drive going down later they
Speaker 6: did stall in the red zone, but Schottenheimer mentioned that
Speaker 6: yesterday as offensive coordinator during his press conference that yeah,
Speaker 6: we got to remember, you know, everyone, Hey, that's a
Speaker 6: big part of it. And you know, we say that
Speaker 6: Dak hasn't run as much as he did earlier in
Speaker 6: his career before he broke the ankle, obviously, but wouldn't
Speaker 6: be surprised to see, you know, have him maybe do
Speaker 6: some more keepers.
Speaker 4: I was going to ask you, do you feel like
Speaker 4: because even after the game, Dak took accountability to say
Speaker 4: I need to use my legs more and I need
Speaker 4: to be more a little bit more mobile. Is that
Speaker 4: something you're going to say you expect to see out
Speaker 4: of Dak is to be a little more mobile, specifically
Speaker 4: in the red zone, maybe not so much, you know
Speaker 4: when when they're trying to drive up to it.
Speaker 3: Do you see him being a little more mobile?
Speaker 6: Don't. I don't think you do it for this. I
Speaker 6: don't think you do it for the sake of doing it.
Speaker 6: You're not going to put your franchise guy at risk
Speaker 6: like that. But but there are some perfect times, and
Speaker 6: again it depends on matchups and what you're seeing from
Speaker 6: the defense. But sometimes these quarterback draws are these designed keepers.
Speaker 6: You know, most of the time when when the quarterback
Speaker 6: are running, unless you're Jalen Hurts, it's you know, it's
Speaker 6: it's because something is broken down. The defense is in
Speaker 6: the zone, they're not looking back, and so you know
Speaker 6: that's when you see him break down the field and
Speaker 6: get get some yards in either out of bounds or
Speaker 6: slide for a first down. So but I don't think
Speaker 6: you do it just to do it.
Speaker 5: You know, there's some RPO situations there though in this
Speaker 5: game that were designed where he there was a play
Speaker 5: where he he actually gave the ball to Tony, but
Speaker 5: if he hadn't a given it to Tony, he was
Speaker 5: he might have had a bit of a collision at
Speaker 5: the goal line with the safety but at the the
Speaker 5: DV but at the same time he would have he
Speaker 5: probably would have scored a touchdown. I will say I
Speaker 5: actually had in my notes about the scrambling portion of it.
Speaker 5: That's something that I've been noticing from the team. I
Speaker 5: noticed a little bit last year even so, is Dak
Speaker 5: is one of the best quarterbacks on the move making
Speaker 5: something happen. And I'm it's something that I'm a little
Speaker 5: down about with with with the receivers, is like, you
Speaker 5: gotta know yourquarterback, and your quarterback is a guy that again,
Speaker 5: he can be rolling to his left, he can be
Speaker 5: rolling to his right, and he can throw it on
Speaker 5: a dime. So the scramble drills are something that I
Speaker 5: hope that they're working, because there were plenty of times
Speaker 5: in this game where they were scrambling and there was
Speaker 5: just no constant pursuit.
Speaker 6: I think Michael Gallup.
Speaker 5: Does a good job of that where he's still working
Speaker 5: trying to work the sideline and stuff, but know your
Speaker 5: quarterback nobody's capable of and fight for him.
Speaker 3: Also too, with the CD Lamb thing in.
Speaker 5: The red zone, they came with a blitz and I
Speaker 5: think that that's kind of what threw off things because
Speaker 5: you remember yesterday, I was under the impression that he
Speaker 5: was supposed to rub there and maybe you know, help
Speaker 5: out there, but it looks like there was a corner
Speaker 5: route there and Dak just once that blitz came We
Speaker 5: talked about it timing and how quick they have to
Speaker 5: be down there. The minute that that blitz came, that
Speaker 5: play was gone.
Speaker 6: That play was gone.
Speaker 5: And so it's something that I'm the spacing too, is
Speaker 5: just kind of funky.
Speaker 3: They just I don't know, they just.
Speaker 5: Were ineffishing down there, but a lot of it. In fairness,
Speaker 5: give it to the Cardinals. They tried to fool them
Speaker 5: a couple times with some things. Even with the RPO stuff.
Speaker 6: They were not buying it.
Speaker 5: And this offensive line.
Speaker 6: Struggled blocking wise.
Speaker 5: Once they got down there, they were very stout and
Speaker 5: the DBS came down and tackled and they were very
Speaker 5: physical for the Cardinals. So give them credit, but just
Speaker 5: a lot of errors down there.
Speaker 6: And yeah, there's no margin for error when you're down there,
Speaker 6: like that Adoga penalty really was painful. But you can't
Speaker 6: shoot yourself in the foot when you're down there because
Speaker 6: the space is so compressed. It's hard enough already, yes.
Speaker 4: Man, Yeah, And I mean it was a question posed
Speaker 4: for Dan Quinn yesterday in the press conference when I
Speaker 4: asked him about the penalties, but he made a really
Speaker 4: good point in saying, you know, sometimes the penalties are
Speaker 4: drawn from them being aggressive, and he said, I can
Speaker 4: live with those ones. However, it's the pre snap penalties,
Speaker 4: and I think that's fair to say for the offense too.
Speaker 4: When you're trying to push that aggression level and you're
Speaker 4: trying to make it dominant and protect your quarterbacks more
Speaker 4: than anything else. Sure, those are penalties that I think
Speaker 4: we can all live with. It was just again the
Speaker 4: pre snap penalties, which very uncharacteristic considering last year. That
Speaker 4: was something that they really worked on, especially with the
Speaker 4: cadence drills, and they zoned it on. So if I'm
Speaker 4: being honest, I really don't think you see.
Speaker 3: A penalty heavy game.
Speaker 6: Like this, Well you hope not. The other thing is
Speaker 6: when you have a different center in there, who, by
Speaker 6: the way, did not get to practice. He got a
Speaker 6: little bit towards the end of Thursday's practice, didn't get
Speaker 6: to take first team reps. Tyler Biattish, the starting center,
Speaker 6: wasn't injured until Thursday's practice, So it's not like brought Kaufman,
Speaker 6: who had to step in elevated from the practice squad Saturday.
Speaker 6: I mean they knew by Thursday, with Tyler getting hurt
Speaker 6: that it was likely that Hoffman would would have to play.
Speaker 6: But it's just different. So that first false start penalty
Speaker 6: that's called on Terrence Steele, that was just all four line,
Speaker 6: everybody moved except the ball, and so it was just
Speaker 6: that little bit of timing that that was off. So
Speaker 6: I'm not putting it on Brockoff now at all. I'm
Speaker 6: just saying that time on task right, And and these
Speaker 6: injuries that have happened, Tyrone Smith not being injured with
Speaker 6: the knee until Saturday, Tuma Adoga, by the way, with
Speaker 6: an elbow injury that he was nursing from the previous week.
Speaker 6: So you know, it's tough enough in the regular season
Speaker 6: to just get enough snaps for your first teamers, but
Speaker 6: when you have these moving parts and guys are getting
Speaker 6: moved around and and you just don't get to work together.
Speaker 6: An offensive line is the one that requires the most cohesion.
Speaker 6: So we haven't seen the group together, and I thought.
Speaker 2: That he had that.
Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy love.
Speaker 5: This is one thing I like about him as a
Speaker 5: coach is he's not afraid to say like, yeah, I
Speaker 5: could have I could have done that. There he admitted,
Speaker 5: you know, even the seven step drops not you know,
Speaker 5: not really taking any chances with the deep ball. But yeah, this, this,
Speaker 5: and that's why I'm trying to stay levelheaded about it
Speaker 5: because I know, I know that people are just like
Speaker 5: you should be able to overcome everything, but losing three
Speaker 5: starting offensive linemen probably drastically changes your game plan and
Speaker 5: what you do before.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and same again, like in case you weren't with
Speaker 6: us yesterday on Girls Talk, Boys Talk. Mike McCarthy in
Speaker 6: his pregame interview with Brad Sham on Cowboys Radio says,
Speaker 6: I'm still going. I'm still going through things this morning,
Speaker 6: Sunday morning, and we're just a few hours from kickoff.
Speaker 6: But I want what Ayisha that little nugget that she
Speaker 6: dropped and this was from McCarthy's press conference yesterday, not
Speaker 6: doing seven step drops? What does that mean? Well, with
Speaker 6: a quarterback, you have either a three step three step drop,
Speaker 6: a five step drop, a seven drip seven step drop. Well,
Speaker 6: obviously it takes longer to go back seven steps than
Speaker 6: it does three or five, and that's generally the plays
Speaker 6: that are further down the field. Well, when you have
Speaker 6: young guys on the offensive line and you know you
Speaker 6: want to you're not one hundred percent sure about your
Speaker 6: press protection as if you had some of your veterans
Speaker 6: in there. That's one reason why they weren't going deep,
Speaker 6: which they weren't doing some of the deeper drops and
Speaker 6: setting things up for longer. So there's a reason why
Speaker 6: were the Tide Ends not as involved. They're into help
Speaker 6: pass protect and also help in the run game, and
Speaker 6: you saw it in the run game. The numbers were
Speaker 6: good in the run game. So there it's cause and effect,
Speaker 6: you know, and what you did against the Giants and
Speaker 6: what you did against the Jets. Sorry, that's off the table.
Speaker 6: It's a completely different matchup against the Cardinals defense.
Speaker 4: Very good point and a good way to transition to
Speaker 4: our next segment. When we come back from our next break,
Speaker 4: we're gonna talk about the run game. We're gonna talk
Speaker 4: a little bit about the running back situation, and then
Speaker 4: we'll transition into defense. So make sure to stay tuned.

Speaker 4: I feel about that.
Speaker 5: We saint it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 3: Something I'm really passionate about as well. This Run Game.
Speaker 4: Oh I'm wearing a shirt Alice because I run the
Speaker 4: ball today. I don't know if you've noticed that I
Speaker 4: didn't run the ball. I mean I could have said
Speaker 4: Taylor Swift, but I did not.
Speaker 3: I switched gears. I said the run game. You know,
Speaker 3: going into this game. What I like that Mike.
Speaker 4: McCarthy dropped a few weeks ago, was he said going
Speaker 4: into week five, Week four, even you start to see
Speaker 4: the teams develop across the NFL. It's not just specific
Speaker 4: to the Dallas Cowboys. You can even leak into week
Speaker 4: six at that point. You're getting to that point now
Speaker 4: where the identities are starting to be formed with the
Speaker 4: teams kind of what they're leaning a little more heavy on.
Speaker 4: If it's the run game, the pass game that obviously
Speaker 4: is omped up by the run game. This team in
Speaker 4: a new era, Tony Pollard era, backed by Rico Dawdle,
Speaker 4: and then you now have Duce Vaughan entered the chat,
Speaker 4: Hunter Lipkey entered the chat.
Speaker 3: This run game very interesting.
Speaker 4: Something that was brought up to coach McCarthy yesterday was
Speaker 4: to preserve Tony Pollard for the rest of the season.
Speaker 4: How do you do that going into practice because he's
Speaker 4: taking a majority of these reps. How do you preserve
Speaker 4: him to ensure that by week seven he's still just
Speaker 4: as effective as he is now going into week four.
Speaker 4: Mike said, they're very aware of it, they know and
Speaker 4: that his practices will be adjusted to reflect preserving his body,
Speaker 4: which we appreciate.
Speaker 3: Ladies. Let's go into this.
Speaker 4: Let's go into Let's start with how Rico Dowdell is
Speaker 4: filling in that second position. What we've seen from him
Speaker 4: so far and how he can be more effective if
Speaker 4: given the opportunity to get a little bit more of
Speaker 4: the ball distribution.
Speaker 6: He's always been a tough runner. The coaches have always
Speaker 6: loved Rico Dowdell. It's just the injuries that caught him
Speaker 6: the first few years here in Dallas. And it was
Speaker 6: noted by coach McCarthy yesterday about the tough running, not
Speaker 6: just Rico, but Tony and even Jake Ferguson slipping a
Speaker 6: couple of tackle Ceedee Lamb. Coach McCarthy said, he said,
Speaker 6: twenty eight or twenty nine. We'll go with twenty nine
Speaker 6: because it sounds better broken tackles. That was some tougher
Speaker 6: and let me tell you from field level these and hey,
Speaker 6: same thing goes for James Connor with the Cardinals offense.
Speaker 6: These were hard earned yards. Okay, there was some hitting
Speaker 6: going on and so, but the ability to take a
Speaker 6: one yard run or a zero yard run and yet
Speaker 6: still go past that first contact or even second contact.
Speaker 6: Not all great runs go for fifteen to twenty plus yards.
Speaker 6: Some of the better runs are ones where you get
Speaker 6: three or four off of something that should be zero
Speaker 6: or minus one. And it was some tough tough, tough sledding.
Speaker 6: But Rico and Tony. I mean, if we had just said, oh,
Speaker 6: you're going to have one hundred and eighty rushing yards
Speaker 6: in the game for the Cowboys, you'd say, oh, yeah,
Speaker 6: sign me up for that every day. But I was
Speaker 6: happy for Rico, just like we said yesterday, for him
Speaker 6: to get his first career touchdown. Ironically it came on
Speaker 6: to pass instead of a run, but yeah, he's he's
Speaker 6: showing his value to the team this year. Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 5: I like the usage of Rico Daddle to start the
Speaker 5: screen game has been so effective to start the season,
Speaker 5: and I think that that's important. Rico Daddo's gotten after
Speaker 5: it with it, Tony's gotten after it with it, Duce
Speaker 5: Vaughan has gotten after it with it. But I really
Speaker 5: I have noticed that Rico does come in in that
Speaker 5: fourth quarter and he's he's bruising, like I'm sure that
Speaker 5: he's exhausting for some of those those defenders that have
Speaker 5: been dealing with kind of chasing Tony and trying to
Speaker 5: deal with his speed. But I like the one two
Speaker 5: punch right now. I will say that with Tony Pollard,
Speaker 5: I think he ran.
Speaker 6: We talked about it.
Speaker 5: He did. He ran effectively through the tackles, he had
Speaker 5: some physical play. Miss would love to see some more
Speaker 5: receiver Tony and using him still as even though he
Speaker 5: is a running back and he's your number one running back.
Speaker 5: It would be nice to see him do some of
Speaker 5: that will route stuff that we've seen him do, come
Speaker 5: out the backfield as a passer, because that's also gonna
Speaker 5: help with what we were just talking about with these
Speaker 5: dbs playing up so close and on how they're acting,
Speaker 5: this is gonna that can open up some things too,
Speaker 5: also for you in the passing game.
Speaker 6: So I was.
Speaker 5: Looking at that like, love how they've been using Tony.
Speaker 5: It's been effective. He's been effective, Rico has been effective.
Speaker 5: It's just again when you get in that red area,
Speaker 5: things get a lot tighter and then you're having the
Speaker 5: penalties as well.
Speaker 6: So loved how they use Hunter Liftkey this week too.
Speaker 5: He's doing some lead blocking stuff and he's becoming far
Speaker 5: more and more effective every week as a as a blocker,
Speaker 5: and am using him as a fullback got him in
Speaker 5: some passing situations. So the usage of the running backs
Speaker 5: all in all, to answer your question, I think has
Speaker 5: been creative. It's been and it seems balanced right now.
Speaker 5: Besides the fact, I wouldn't mind seeing a little bit
Speaker 5: more Rico.
Speaker 6: Anybody well with the usage you because just to your
Speaker 6: point what you were saying about, how you know how
Speaker 6: much Tony has gotten the ball these past couple of weeks.
Speaker 6: He ended up with twenty six touches on Sunday if
Speaker 6: you combine the rushing and receiving, and that's thirty two
Speaker 6: the week before. That's a lot, you know, for a
Speaker 6: guy who in his career, you know, shared the load
Speaker 6: with Zeke coming into this year, and so I think
Speaker 6: it's going to be interesting because even when we were
Speaker 6: talking about lineman and giving these young linemen more practice
Speaker 6: time during the week, I think that that Tony's going
Speaker 6: to be pulled back. I think some of these practices,
Speaker 6: these Wednesday and some of these Thursday practices just to
Speaker 6: kind of make sure that you know, they That's why
Speaker 6: they have those trackers, the GPS stuff. And I wouldn't
Speaker 6: be surprised if the threshold is maybe down a little
Speaker 6: bit because you don't want to use Tony up. We're
Speaker 6: only three games.
Speaker 3: In, yeah, and you need him, you get him.
Speaker 6: All yeah, And that's why it's so great that that
Speaker 6: Rico is showing his value.
Speaker 3: I'm so excited for Rico.
Speaker 6: Oh he's a good day, good day. He's a nice family.
Speaker 4: Oh he's so He's so great and he's such a
Speaker 4: quiet guy, but his explosiveness speaks for himself. I mean,
Speaker 4: I started talking to Rico more this off season after.
Speaker 3: I want to say it was OTAs.
Speaker 4: I saw him and I was like, oh wow, I
Speaker 4: just we hadn't seen Rico in so long, and that
Speaker 4: was my first time seeing him in person, you know,
Speaker 4: at a practice capacity like that, and he just instantly
Speaker 4: stood out to me, Minni camp OTAs. So I went
Speaker 4: and I introduced myself and I talked to him, and
Speaker 4: I just told him, you look really good, you know,
Speaker 4: And he, you know, started talking to me a little
Speaker 4: bit more and more every week because he doesn't open
Speaker 4: up right away.
Speaker 6: Kay, he's kind of a quiet guy. He was on
Speaker 6: IR last year, so people aren't you know, they're not
Speaker 6: bothering him.
Speaker 3: He was a little weird a that He's like, why
Speaker 3: is she talking to me?
Speaker 4: So we started talking more and more, and then there
Speaker 4: was an event here in Dallas called sports Con and
Speaker 4: he appeared there and he was doing. He was doing pictures,
Speaker 4: autographs with fans, and then he did some stuff on
Speaker 4: media row and that's when I caught up with him.
Speaker 4: I was walking around with him, I was talking to him,
Speaker 4: and that was really when we clicked because he had
Speaker 4: told me how he spent his weeks off, his six
Speaker 4: weeks off. It was after a rookie mini camp OTAs
Speaker 4: that that part of the season, and then he told
Speaker 4: me he went on a cruise with his family and
Speaker 4: he said, I didn't realize I was afraid of water
Speaker 4: until that cruise. Like, that's kind of the wrong time
Speaker 4: to figure that out, man. So Ever, since then, I
Speaker 4: go check on him in the locker room, see how
Speaker 4: he's doing, see how he's feeling. And it was funny
Speaker 4: because I want to say it was after the Giants game.
Speaker 4: I told him, when's your touchdown coming? He said, hopefully soon.
Speaker 4: I said, yeah, I'll be waiting for it and be
Speaker 4: right here to talk to you when it happens. So
Speaker 4: in the following week told him the same thing, and
Speaker 4: so this week, I'm very excited to go in the
Speaker 4: locker room be like, look, I'm not saying I predicted this,
Speaker 4: but he's he is such a hard worker. He was
Speaker 4: overlooked for so long for how hard he works. Yes,
Speaker 4: injury has overshadowed his productivity during his time here. But
Speaker 4: he's doing everything in his power to stay healthy, and
Speaker 4: he has talked about that with me multiple times. He's
Speaker 4: changed how he eats, he changes how he handles post
Speaker 4: workouts and post practice and how he's taking care of
Speaker 4: his body. So oh, that is my Rico soapbox for
Speaker 4: the day. But Christy, I wanted to talk to you
Speaker 4: about something because I'm looking back at the play log
Speaker 4: or at the playlist from yesterday or oh my goodness
Speaker 4: from Sunday, and there's four fifty eight left in the game.
Speaker 3: This is Cowboys.
Speaker 4: The Cowboys offense, last drive, essentially, last chance to get
Speaker 4: the points on the board. There was h Let's see
Speaker 4: one run, Tony Pollared up the middle for five yards,
Speaker 4: no huddle, by the way, and then they go no
Speaker 4: huddle again, Tony puddle, Tony Pollard up the middle for
Speaker 4: six yards, and then you're on the Arizona five. At
Speaker 4: this point, shotgun, Tony Pollared up the middle negative two
Speaker 4: yards and then again Tony Pollard left tackle tackled by
Speaker 4: Arizona for one yard at that point you're on the
Speaker 4: Arizona six. And then the interception happens in the end
Speaker 4: zone as Dak tries to make a pass to Brandon Cooks.
Speaker 4: What do you think of the play calling there to
Speaker 4: run the ball with four minutes left in potentially what
Speaker 4: you know, could be your last shot.
Speaker 6: I thank everyone from the sideline up in the Cowboys
Speaker 6: radio booths, everybody watching on TV, all the Cowboy fans
Speaker 6: that at State Farm Stadium?
Speaker 3: Why are you running the ball?
Speaker 6: O'clock is running?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 6: Mike McCarthy when asked about it yesterday, he admits, I
Speaker 6: should have been more aggressive there, so you know, hey,
Speaker 6: he felt like with the timeouts that he had that
Speaker 6: they'd be able to get the ball in and then
Speaker 6: still have time to you know, get done what they
Speaker 6: need to do. But in hindsight, Mike agrees, you know,
Speaker 6: should have been more aggressive. Should they have thrown on
Speaker 6: the second down or the third down play? Well, of
Speaker 6: course everything's in is twenty twenty and in high insight,
Speaker 6: but coaches don't always admit that. But but Mike, Mike
Speaker 6: did yesterday.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he was running the ball because they
Speaker 3: was giving him.
Speaker 6: It goes back to what we said, they're giving.
Speaker 5: It to you, you know, And honestly, I mean I
Speaker 5: wasn't a huge fan of it too, But they had time.
Speaker 3: There was time. Yeah, there's not a wrong answer.
Speaker 5: When they made the past, when they made the pass
Speaker 5: to the end zone, at that point, they did have
Speaker 5: enough time if they wanted to go for two or
Speaker 5: whatever if they had scored.
Speaker 4: So yeah, at that point there was three or three
Speaker 4: h five left when the past was made.
Speaker 5: So I wasn't Personally, I wasn't mad. I wasn't super
Speaker 5: upset about it, and especially given just how aggressive their
Speaker 5: dvs have been playing and biting on everything and stuff.
Speaker 5: I was like, oh, that that makes sense. I mean,
Speaker 5: you gotta go fast, but it makes sense.
Speaker 3: But it wasn't I mean, yeah, we can be critical
Speaker 3: of it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like you would have wanted him to pass there
Speaker 5: or whatever. I just I don't want them.
Speaker 2: To be scared.
Speaker 4: I also like, yeah, but I also feel like in
Speaker 4: a normal situation to where maybe if the defense was
Speaker 4: playing like you know, they're capable of playing like they
Speaker 4: played the first two games of the season. This is
Speaker 4: obviously not their best showing. You don't want Arizona to
Speaker 4: have the ball for a long period of time too
Speaker 4: at that point, knowing kind of where things were with
Speaker 4: the defense throughout the rest of the game. So I
Speaker 4: can understand it from that perspective of you run the
Speaker 4: ball to kind of kill time because you don't want
Speaker 4: the Cardinals to.
Speaker 3: Have the map back.
Speaker 6: It was a two possession game, so you needed to scores,
Speaker 6: you know, hopefully as quickly as you can.
Speaker 3: The thing about it, though, it's one of those things.
Speaker 4: If it worked, it would have been great. We wouldn't
Speaker 4: be talking about it if it worked.
Speaker 6: Ernie's Zmpezi, the great play caller for when the greatest
Speaker 6: in NFL history and spent time in the nineties, you know,
Speaker 6: winning Super Bowls as the coordinator for the Cowboys, and
Speaker 6: Ernie always says, you know how you define a good
Speaker 6: play call?
Speaker 3: It works there period. Well, let's take our next break.
Speaker 4: When we talk back, We're gonna when we come back,
Speaker 4: we are going to talk about the Cowboys defense a
Speaker 4: little bit before we officially turn the page from this

Speaker 4: little bit of defense before we officially close the books
Speaker 4: on this loss that I think everybody is ready to
Speaker 4: just kind of turn the page on this week.
Speaker 3: A Yasha, you went, Oh my gosh, I love you.
Speaker 3: You went back, you watched things.
Speaker 4: Biggest takeaway from the Cowboys defense obviously run defense. We
Speaker 4: know we've talked about that. We understand that that was
Speaker 4: an issue. But again, a very uncharacteristic game. And I
Speaker 4: think that is the word that describes it the best.
Speaker 4: By them, What did you get out of it?
Speaker 5: They just they just gotta play sound football, Like it
Speaker 5: sounds really simple, but there was just so many guys
Speaker 5: like doing other people's jobs and not filling gaps, like
Speaker 5: they didn't tackle super well. And I just think, like
Speaker 5: I said, Jaron Kurs said it last. He said it
Speaker 5: in his postgame interview, he said their will was stronger
Speaker 5: than ours, and in a lot of instances it was
Speaker 5: like that they were not the more physical team on
Speaker 5: that side of the ball, and that it just never
Speaker 5: came to fruition for them. I will say that in
Speaker 5: the second half there did seem like there were some
Speaker 5: adjustments made. They came out there, they got the stop
Speaker 5: at first of the third quarter, then to Cavante Turpin,
Speaker 5: that's that big return and it gets called back, but
Speaker 5: they I mean, I think Arizona scored on that big
Speaker 5: play and that was it for them that in that half.
Speaker 5: So they buckled down and they played better ball. But
Speaker 5: there were times that there were times that they did
Speaker 5: play straight up and they looked like the better team,
Speaker 5: but it just was I don't know, man, it was
Speaker 5: just it was it was weird. You had guys like
Speaker 5: jay Ron Curse like getting turned around, and it's just
Speaker 5: it just never felt like they It just never felt
Speaker 5: like they were they were mentally in it, and I
Speaker 5: just never I don't know if I've ever seen them
Speaker 5: play that undisciplined in that way as far as their assignment.
Speaker 5: So I think they'll pick it up turn around. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I think they'll pay.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I think they'll pick it up. Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: Dan Quinn used his verbiage yesterday really spoke to I know,
Speaker 5: me and Jesse.
Speaker 6: He said, it hurt him, you.
Speaker 5: Know, just how things came to fruition, and but I
Speaker 5: do want to say that I do believe and it
Speaker 5: just is what it is. And I know that everyone's like,
Speaker 5: next man up. Dan Quinn alluded to this and everything.
Speaker 5: I do think that emotionally they would that there was
Speaker 5: a rough emotional week for these guys, especially at the
Speaker 5: end of the week.
Speaker 2: So we'll see.
Speaker 5: Give them some time left them, let them regroup and
Speaker 5: go out there and play, you know, play their ball,
Speaker 5: play the play ball the way they're supposed to. Because
Speaker 5: this this wasn't this wasn't it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I love what dan Quinn said, and it
Speaker 6: goes to what you said, this wasn't characteristic of the cowboys,
Speaker 6: and like you say, that's what really hurt him. He
Speaker 6: he said, what really hit me, like five fingers across
Speaker 6: the face, was you guys didn't look like your defense right.
Speaker 6: They weren't playing fast they you know, And he also
Speaker 6: noted we'll grow from this. I have no doubt at all,
Speaker 6: but he said it was misfitting. They weren't in their
Speaker 6: fits right, and so that's the before you can make that.
Speaker 6: You got to be in the right place. You got
Speaker 6: to you got to be in the gap, right. You
Speaker 6: got to handle the backside if they and so if
Speaker 6: you're not alignment assignment, if you're not, if you're not
Speaker 6: in your fits, then not only are you not going
Speaker 6: to make the play, but they're gonna they're gonna get
Speaker 6: through and into the you know, uh second part and
Speaker 6: then through your defensive backfield. So yeah, and he also
Speaker 6: said what really hurt us was the five big runs
Speaker 6: that he says the explosives in the first half, they
Speaker 6: weren't due to physicality, they were due to job assignments.
Speaker 6: It's not in your fit, not in the gap right,
Speaker 6: not doing your job. And the one other thing I
Speaker 6: want to say is because on that one long pass
Speaker 6: play to Wilson, I believe it was and we saw
Speaker 6: Malik Hooker chasing and stuff, and so Wilson was on
Speaker 6: it like in the left slot, gets the release, no
Speaker 6: one carries him. He ends up getting making the catch
Speaker 6: across the field left to right, and Malik Hooker chases
Speaker 6: him down and saves the touchdown. But huge play, And
Speaker 6: he said that that was not Hooker. It was good
Speaker 6: for MALIEK. Cooker just to even catch him, to make
Speaker 6: the the tackle to save the touchdown. But just because
Speaker 6: it's the guy that's chasen to make it doesn't mean
Speaker 6: that that was his guy. So he you know, he's
Speaker 6: not going to call out what specifically happened on the play,
Speaker 6: but I know a lot of us assume, oh weak,
Speaker 6: it wasn't even his guy. I also liked, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: it was a lack of communication. You're exactly right.
Speaker 4: And I also liked that Dan was quick to you
Speaker 4: mentioned that the Cowboys only missed six tackles during his game,
Speaker 4: So it wasn't a bad tackling game.
Speaker 3: It just wasn't their best game.
Speaker 6: If you're not if you're not in your fit to
Speaker 6: make the tackle.
Speaker 3: Yeah you can't. Yeah, you can't.
Speaker 5: Defensive line. Defensive line, you know, square, square your feet. Yeah,
Speaker 5: play your assignment, guys, you know, play for your brother.
Speaker 5: Because there was a lot of uh, it was a
Speaker 5: lot of guys. They talked about it last year, you know,
Speaker 5: earning the earning the opportunity to rush the passer and
Speaker 5: to and so I really did think that a lot
Speaker 5: of guys were getting a field. They were really I
Speaker 5: mean even the nose tackles, even like the dts were
Speaker 5: just so fast off the ball. Just looking for them
Speaker 5: to be a little bit more patient. And and yeah,
Speaker 5: and yes.
Speaker 6: We had OsO Diggi Zoo on last night on the
Speaker 6: Cowboys Hour, the Miller like Cowboys Hour, and you know
Speaker 6: he was he was straight up with yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 6: but and we were, you know, we shared some of
Speaker 6: the things that because it was right after dan Quinn's
Speaker 6: post press conference Monday afternoon press conference, and so a
Speaker 6: lot of the things that he told the media are
Speaker 6: basically the same things that he's you know, the players
Speaker 6: they all know, yeah, you know, and Osa said basically
Speaker 6: the same things. Hey, we're going to grow from this.
Speaker 6: We make the corrections and you can't get too high
Speaker 6: or to like you know a lot of them are
Speaker 6: just kind of the same maxims and truisms that you
Speaker 6: hear week to week. But but no, I mean, you're right,
Speaker 6: it's personal.
Speaker 5: It's personal because these guys when they because they love
Speaker 5: them some dan Quinn, they play for him and to
Speaker 5: hear and for each other yes, ma'am.
Speaker 6: And for them to.
Speaker 5: Say to know he was that disappointed in their performance,
Speaker 5: I think it makes a huge difference.
Speaker 6: And that's why go ahead.
Speaker 4: And I also think though he wasn't just dissipate pointed
Speaker 4: in their performance, he was disappointed in his performance as
Speaker 4: a coach as well, tracking because he also took accountability
Speaker 4: for his part in the loss. So that's another thing
Speaker 4: that I appreciate about Dan Quinn is he's not sitting
Speaker 4: there saying it was.
Speaker 3: All your fault. Ohsa, it was all your fault. Don know.
Speaker 4: He's not pointing fingers, he's not throwing anybody under the bus.
Speaker 4: He first thing he said was I take accountability for
Speaker 4: what I did wrong as a coach and setting my
Speaker 4: guys up to not be you know, prepared enough. And
Speaker 4: that went across the board yesterday anything.
Speaker 5: Yeah, right, okay, I tried.
Speaker 3: It's okay.
Speaker 4: If anything that you can take away from yesterday's coordinator
Speaker 4: and coordinator press conferences and then Micha McCarthy as they
Speaker 4: all took accountability. There was not one that didn't take
Speaker 4: accountability for me.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I love I love what John Fossil said.
Speaker 6: John Fossil, the special teams coordinator who put the little
Speaker 6: Yorkie in the y man. So in regards to the
Speaker 6: sixty two yard field goal that Matt Prater hit at,
Speaker 6: which I mean, when you have to kick the ball
Speaker 6: that far, it's going to be a very low trajectory.
Speaker 6: I can tell yeah, I've in twenty five years on
Speaker 6: the sideline, I've never seen one that low.
Speaker 3: It looks.
Speaker 6: I don't think it ever got like eighteen to twenty
Speaker 6: feet off the ground. Seriously, the crossbars ten feet up,
Speaker 6: all right, and that ball was fair. It didn't have
Speaker 6: much art art to it, right, it was. It was
Speaker 6: pretty much a line drive. But here's the thing. When
Speaker 6: field goal kickers have to do longer attempts, then it
Speaker 6: has to be more line drive. They have to get
Speaker 6: more strength behind it. It's not going to be some
Speaker 6: high arching kick. Well that's when that's when it's ripe
Speaker 6: for blocks, right, So get your hands up. And so
Speaker 6: one of the things that John Fossil said was he
Speaker 6: wished that he had done a different call on that.
Speaker 6: He says, I could have made a call where I
Speaker 6: had one more hand up there, and I wish I
Speaker 6: had I had made that call. Now would it have
Speaker 6: resulted in a block. Well, we'll never know, but I
Speaker 6: love that Bones speaks to the media, you know that
Speaker 6: we get to hear special teams as well as offense
Speaker 6: and defense. And he's the most honest, you know, free
Speaker 6: flowing guy out there. He's so much fun to listen to.
Speaker 6: But when you talk about accountability, it's like, man, I
Speaker 6: wish I just I wish I had that callback and
Speaker 6: what if I would have done this?
Speaker 5: Yeah, and now that everyone is taking accountability.
Speaker 6: Yeah, apply it apple, see you adjust.
Speaker 5: I mean I thoroughly enjoyed, you know, hearing them own
Speaker 5: up to some of the mistakes. It's it's always rewarding
Speaker 5: for someone like me, especially that because I'm still learning
Speaker 5: to go in there and be able to speak to
Speaker 5: them and they reassure me in a way that what
Speaker 5: I'm seeing on film is correct. Is I think that's
Speaker 5: It's one of the most valuable things I get from this.
Speaker 5: And I'm like, okay, okay, boss, Like you told me
Speaker 5: that this is something that you want to work on
Speaker 5: and that is fixed, and that's the good thing. Like
Speaker 5: we talked about, though, it was a.
Speaker 6: Lot of a lot of the things that we saw
Speaker 6: rear their head.
Speaker 5: This week are fixable things. There are things that can
Speaker 5: be corrected. They're not guys just getting your guys are
Speaker 5: not just getting beat out there. And so we'll definitely
Speaker 5: get to see, you know, how this defense adjusts and
Speaker 5: then how this offense adjust as well, and even special teams.
Speaker 6: I got something to share with the viewers and the
Speaker 6: listeners who if you love, if you love to learn
Speaker 6: about football and break things down Bill Belichick. Obviously, the
Speaker 6: Patriots come into town and Bill is notorious for not
Speaker 6: giving anything to media that would be just be the
Speaker 6: worst to have to cover that team, but he does,
Speaker 6: he does do it.
Speaker 3: He's he supports.
Speaker 6: I won't I won't say who was at at and
Speaker 6: T Stadium back in the spring to see Taylor Swift
Speaker 6: m m wow mm hmmm. So I didn't say that.
Speaker 4: He was also see he saw multiple shows. He's a
Speaker 4: he's a swiftie.
Speaker 3: So here's the thing.
Speaker 6: But one thing that he does do and if you
Speaker 6: if you're a football junkie, you'll enjoy this. And even
Speaker 6: if you're not a junkie but you just want to
Speaker 6: learn a little bit. On the New England Patriots site,
Speaker 6: you go to video multimedia, just like when you go
Speaker 6: to Dallas Cowboys dot com. But it's called Belichick Breakdown,
Speaker 6: and so his coaches showed that he does each week.
Speaker 6: It's him and a host and it's Bill at a
Speaker 6: teleprompter and they'll be I'm sorry, not a teleprompter, I
Speaker 6: tell a straighter and he he'll do about five or
Speaker 6: six plays from the previous game. So Belichick Breakdown, you'll
Speaker 6: find it on the video. I've already watched the one
