Speaker 6: Here.

Speaker 3: the Michigan state job.
Speaker 6: Soy him an extra forty dollars stay.
Speaker 5: Price is probably gone up to.
Speaker 2: Back up back.
Speaker 3: I have knew he scrugs here players, I was about
Speaker 3: to you buy tostitos.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 3: Coordinators talked yesterday. I was trying to explain exactly what happened.
Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy trying to explain what happened here. Let's start
Speaker 3: with defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, who said that there were
Speaker 3: three players who played well in that loss against Arizona
Speaker 3: Tank Lawrence, Malie Cooker, and Ron Blant.
Speaker 2: Don't start with you, Danny, you agree, Listen. I trust
Speaker 2: dan Quinn. Okay, I trust dan Quinn.
Speaker 6: I said yesterday that DeMarcus Lawrence played a hell of
Speaker 6: a football game.
Speaker 2: Okay. We did talk about Dron Blain a little bit.
Speaker 6: I'm assuming, I'm assuming that we are focusing on five
Speaker 6: to six plays. He's focusing on the entirety of the
Speaker 6: game and the situations that he put him in. We
Speaker 6: don't know the schemes that he called, what his actual
Speaker 6: job was on each place, so some plays we might
Speaker 6: have them get beat. And dan Quinn was like, Hey,
Speaker 6: this is what they're running, and this is what I
Speaker 6: want you to play, and then react to everything else.
Speaker 6: I haven't known dan Quinn and Mike MacArthur to get
Speaker 6: out here and tell lives about players playing better than
Speaker 6: what they've been playing. So I'm not gonna just all
Speaker 6: of a sudden start believing it now. He said d
Speaker 6: run Band played well. That mean he played with effort,
Speaker 6: intensity and he knew his technique. So I'm okay with it. Okay,
Speaker 6: So Drun blaying as we talked about yesterday is a
Speaker 6: okay all right, and DeMarcus Lawrence is still saying, hey,
Speaker 6: follow me, play like I play, and then you know
Speaker 6: what I'm saying, we'll have an effort.
Speaker 2: I think the biggest thing for me was he saw
Speaker 2: the same thing we saw.
Speaker 6: Everybody didn't play with the same effort and intensity as
Speaker 6: we usually play with.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 6: It was something going on to where we just weren't
Speaker 6: focused on the standard that we usually set as a
Speaker 6: defense throughout those first two games and actually all of
Speaker 6: last year. So that was the thing where I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 6: he sees it. He knows he needs to get out
Speaker 6: there and make sure these guys are motivated because obviously,
Speaker 6: you know, you know, revisiting week five wasn't really a
Speaker 6: thing is revisiting week three. So I'm I'm okay, man
Speaker 6: shout out, shout out the Duran playing. Hey, Hey we're sorry, bro,
Speaker 6: we just saw a couple of players. You know that
Speaker 6: that was off a little bit. But I trust dan Quinn.
Speaker 6: So Duran playing to be you know, singled out or
Speaker 6: actually tripled out, whatever you call it.
Speaker 2: He played well.
Speaker 6: You love dan Quinn, Doggy, that is your love for
Speaker 6: dan Quinn is a match. But we got to call
Speaker 6: capricorn on that man the flag on the plane because
Speaker 6: you watched the hunched the whole game, and I thought,
Speaker 6: I really did think that it was a confidence play
Speaker 6: from dan Quinn, just basically saying, look, I got a
Speaker 6: guy that got to start on Thursday. We went all week,
Speaker 6: all the way through the scheme and everything, and he
Speaker 6: knew he was going to play in the nickel uh
Speaker 6: with j Lou And next day, you know, we have
Speaker 6: to thrust him into the starting lineup, even on the
Speaker 6: side that he's not used to playing. So I mean,
Speaker 6: even as I dissected what he was talking about, I
Speaker 6: thought it was more or less, Hey, this is a
Speaker 6: guy in the last minute, had to go in and start,
Speaker 6: and he did a serviceable job. Obviously the penalties. He
Speaker 6: even said he with some of those penalties, like, man,
Speaker 6: it's just a part of how we play and if
Speaker 6: it's gonna be like that, we'll accept those things. But hey,
Speaker 6: guy playing in the last minute like he did, he
Speaker 6: did he did it well. He did a good enough job.
Speaker 6: You're gonna come home in DQ. Hold on last year
Speaker 6: when the cornerbacks went down, Okay, and we had to
Speaker 6: see Darn Bland and Bossman Flat and they shun right
Speaker 6: over there.
Speaker 2: Did dan Quinn lie about how they played?
Speaker 6: Did he come out here and say, hey man, hey,
Speaker 6: everybody played bad except Kevin Joseph. Did he say that,
Speaker 6: Hey man, hey listen, they got some stuff they need
Speaker 6: to learn. We're gonna get it figured out. That was
Speaker 6: the conversation that he had. That was their confidence booster.
Speaker 6: Hey man, you didn't play horrible stuff to learn. He
Speaker 6: didn't say that about d ron Blad. He could have
Speaker 6: just said, hey, Darn Blair played bad, just like everybody
Speaker 6: that he didn't say that. He's single them out as
Speaker 6: one of those guys who actually played well. So that's
Speaker 6: why I believe him.
Speaker 5: Man, I gotta go with heck on this.
Speaker 6: You know and like you, But you are right in
Speaker 6: the same sense as well when you talk about dan
Speaker 6: Quinn knowing more than on all of us as far
Speaker 6: as it goes to his defense. But when we look
Speaker 6: at it, it just looked like the man it was
Speaker 6: a little lost out there.
Speaker 2: Now, you are right. I don't know the system like that.
Speaker 6: I don't know the play calls all one hundred percent
Speaker 6: like that, So there could be some truth in there,
Speaker 6: but overall, I mean it was a small sample side
Speaker 6: think it was his first time out there on the outside.
Speaker 6: I don't know how many snaps he got there last year,
Speaker 6: but I would you know, this year was his first
Speaker 6: time on the outside. So we'll give him a little
Speaker 6: bit of leeway and we'll see, you know, what happens
Speaker 6: coming up here this week, because I'm sure dan Quinn
Speaker 6: will throw some wrinkles in there to help him on
Speaker 6: that outside. The only thing I'm kind of nervous about
Speaker 6: with that is does it take away from the aggressiveness
Speaker 6: of dan Quinn's defense, Like you got to dial it
Speaker 6: back a little bit because you may be ailing a
Speaker 6: little bit on one side during the second theary like
Speaker 6: do you throw a safety over top over there? And
Speaker 6: does that take away from usually you muddying you know,
Speaker 6: the inside of the field as far as the safeties
Speaker 6: are concerned. So I'm interested to see how they play
Speaker 6: out going forward. But I mean, hey, we all know
Speaker 6: d Las played well. He went out there and he
Speaker 6: did his thing versus the run in moleak hooker. Even
Speaker 6: though there was a lot of big plays out there,
Speaker 6: he minimized a lot of it.
Speaker 2: Like that fourteen when he.
Speaker 6: Was wide open on the car across her, across the
Speaker 6: field or whatever, and he was about to score Malik
Speaker 6: who did a great job sawing him down and making
Speaker 6: sure you know, they stop here at the ten yard last.
Speaker 2: So those two guys did play well. Gotta go with
Speaker 2: you when it comes.
Speaker 6: To dron Blad. But overall this defense needs to step
Speaker 6: up coming up this week, Aldgainst, New England. I listen,
Speaker 6: you know, I just you know, because I do. I
Speaker 6: think dan Quinn is the guy, okay, like I said,
Speaker 6: and I trust him. I just don't there are other guys.
Speaker 6: He could have singled out and said, if he wanted
Speaker 6: to get him a confidence boost, Masui Smith, ain't got
Speaker 6: no confidence boost.
Speaker 2: No, okay, you know you need even to go out
Speaker 2: there and play.
Speaker 6: And nobody got out there and said that he played well,
Speaker 6: like just just so they can say, Michael West and
Speaker 6: Michael Parsons said, well and if you trust okay, so
Speaker 6: if the guy's in the locker room in the defensive room,
Speaker 6: trust dan Quinn. Right, and we out here and then
Speaker 6: and there in there and dan Quinn said, you play well,
Speaker 6: you played well, You play well, and the whole meeting
Speaker 6: room is like hold on twenty six, he played well,
Speaker 6: like then you just lose a little bit about what
Speaker 6: you feel about dan Quinn. That's why I don't, you know,
Speaker 6: that's why I don't. I don't believe even to be true.
Speaker 6: But what do we know?
Speaker 2: We're not in there.
Speaker 3: You're calling Robert Solon, we're trying to sell out there,
Speaker 3: trying to sell sell his quarterback each week to his team.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 6: The look on his face says at all, okay, but
Speaker 6: I'm not in in the mean room because you already
Speaker 6: know we sitting there like hold on. You go back
Speaker 6: on Monday or Sunday night and y'all having y'all drink
Speaker 6: at the house or whatever we lost, and everybody.
Speaker 2: Like, hey man, what's called play like garbage? What we
Speaker 2: gonna do about them?
Speaker 6: And then you get in the meat room on Monday
Speaker 6: and like you here, hey man, you playing great.
Speaker 2: That's exactly what's gonna happen in that meaning room.
Speaker 6: Boys gonna be looking like hold on, wait, he played
Speaker 6: good and I didn't cause it used to be so mad.
Speaker 2: With Joe Banker was over the car. You ain't lying,
Speaker 2: but it could be the case. I gotta.
Speaker 6: Go it cout be on we don't know. My vote
Speaker 6: is Dan Quinn is being honest with us and he's
Speaker 6: telling us the truth and we'll see the one Durum
Speaker 6: Blaine get better and better each week.
Speaker 5: Bring memories from a man like.
Speaker 2: Seventy five. He used to be upset about them. Love
Speaker 2: was man like, we don't did that?
Speaker 6: We some cast get caught out, but hey, no, but
Speaker 6: everybody gets graded on the curve. And maybe that was
Speaker 6: him grading him on the curve based off of what
Speaker 6: happened this week. But I thought in the interview when
Speaker 6: he was talking about the first half versus the second half,
Speaker 6: he was very honest, you know, and they asked him
Speaker 6: a question about the defense and totally in him saying that,
Speaker 6: look this a warrior crew. I expect for these guys
Speaker 6: to bounce back, and he just looked at it. He
Speaker 6: looked at the whole game and basically chalked it up
Speaker 6: to look, man, they got us. It wasn't really nothing
Speaker 6: that you could say. And if you're looking for a
Speaker 6: bright spot, and maybe one or two like.
Speaker 2: Two three.
Speaker 6: Said down quinns being honest about his assessment of the game,
Speaker 6: and the other one, say twenty six he was lying
Speaker 6: on the.
Speaker 3: First half, five possessions, five scores for Arizona. So they
Speaker 3: got out to a twenty one to ten lead. Here,
Speaker 3: so let's fast forward this thing.
Speaker 2: Hold on, wait, you didn't You didn't say nothing. Who
Speaker 2: is he telling the truth?
Speaker 6: Was? Or is he darn played well or dan quiz
Speaker 6: just blow a smoke right now.
Speaker 5: My untrained eye, I felt like he was trying to keep.
Speaker 2: The smoke off.
Speaker 3: I want to know, I'm not going to give you
Speaker 3: people in the media the stick to go beat this
Speaker 3: guy up, so that that's that.
Speaker 5: That's how I look.
Speaker 3: We know there's gonna be times, and this is across
Speaker 3: sports from what I've covered, there were times when these
Speaker 3: coaches are like, I'm not giving you people in the
Speaker 3: media anything the right to get the guy down. My
Speaker 3: job is to pick million him. You alright, it's okay, good,
Speaker 3: you know, not to have you know, beat rod Aby's see.
Speaker 3: It sucks no good last year with the rod I
Speaker 3: mean you know that's because there there are people in
Speaker 3: the media waiting to do that. You know him, you know,
Speaker 3: to educated brother for the bank's krem it's black.
Speaker 5: He was probably.
Speaker 2: I'm not starting.
Speaker 6: To be honest guy, Okay.
Speaker 3: Now I'll say this so so, Terry Francone is retiring
Speaker 3: as the the manager of the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 5: He won two World Series with the Red Sox, and.
Speaker 3: One time he was asked and he said, yes, I
Speaker 3: lie to you guys all the time talking about the
Speaker 3: beating because you just like, hey, look there are times
Speaker 3: when what I need to do for me and my team,
Speaker 3: I don't need to let you all know exactly how,
Speaker 3: so do I say some things because I gotta go
Speaker 3: back in that room and I gotta go get those
Speaker 3: guys to play.
Speaker 5: So that's why I say.
Speaker 3: You know, my untrained eye, I can see him just saying, man,
Speaker 3: he was all right, man, don't you know, just because
Speaker 3: he's not trying to give us anything, which which.
Speaker 2: He could have said that you know, he played alright.
Speaker 6: Oh he could have said, hey, everybody played away except
Speaker 6: DeMarcus Lawrence, and you would have been just fine with that.
Speaker 6: Nobody could have tacked the run blind because you're gonna say,
Speaker 6: Stephen Gilmore is in there, Jordan Lewis is there who
Speaker 6: we saw give up along play. I just know he
Speaker 6: could have said plenty of things, but shout out to
Speaker 6: twenty six. Okay, I got faith, think you dot, even
Speaker 6: if these guys on the at the table don't have,
Speaker 6: I got faith. Okay, nobody said that, nobody, nobody, nobody plays.
Speaker 5: Seventeen great games. It's hard to do that.
Speaker 3: But moving it forward here, New England had one hundred
Speaker 3: and fifty seven yards of rushing against the Jets on
Speaker 3: forty attempts. So we just saw the whole blueprint going
Speaker 3: way back to when the old head coach of Denver
Speaker 3: Broncos Banjail, said this, this is the blueprint.
Speaker 5: Guys.
Speaker 3: Bill Belichick is going to go and attack the team
Speaker 3: running the balls. If they got one fifty seven against
Speaker 3: the Jets, they coming, As Dion said, He's coming.
Speaker 6: Mac Jones, Mac Jones, listen, Josh Dobbs ain't ain't the
Speaker 6: nick like the most shifty quarterback of the fastest, but
Speaker 6: he Mac Jones ain't even close to that, all right, So.
Speaker 2: Reid option ain't gonna be a thing.
Speaker 6: Quarterback count gonna be able to do some of that
Speaker 6: stuff with Mac Jones unless it's him. You know, we
Speaker 6: rushing up the field and he's scrambling, you know, getting
Speaker 6: the first down or two. So I don't think it'll
Speaker 6: be the same. But you will have to buckle up
Speaker 6: your chin strap for Zeck and Stevenson. You're gonna You're
Speaker 6: gonna have to because that's what you're gonna see all game.
Speaker 6: They it was it one game last year, they was
Speaker 6: in the snow. They ran almost every since in the past,
Speaker 6: three times.
Speaker 2: This week.
Speaker 6: You can't stop, you can't stop it. They gonna keep
Speaker 6: on coming with the just gonna keep it. Run, run, run, run,
Speaker 6: run until you figure out a way to stop it.
Speaker 6: So and I think that's a good test for us
Speaker 6: because we need to know, we need to know, We
Speaker 6: really need to know was this an anomaly or have
Speaker 6: we really fixed uh, you know, our problems that we
Speaker 6: had on front left for the last two years. Hey, y'all,
Speaker 6: remember when you used to be in high school and
Speaker 6: the teacher you say, put your books away, it's pop
Speaker 6: quiz time.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be like that. It's gonna be like that
Speaker 2: every week, pop quiz every can.
Speaker 6: Y'all stop the run and until they prove that they
Speaker 6: can stop the run, and until they prove that they
Speaker 6: can stop teams in twelve personnel because we know Bill
Speaker 6: Belichick is the twelve person specialist. He has won Super
Speaker 6: Bowls with having two tight ends one two killers, one
Speaker 6: literally and one figuratively.
Speaker 2: You know he can do that. You know he's a
Speaker 2: kind of guy like this for real. I mean, but
Speaker 2: you know that he has the kind of tight ends
Speaker 2: that can get it done.
Speaker 6: And so when it comes down to the running game,
Speaker 6: when it comes down to the running game, it's gonna
Speaker 6: be hey, like you said, buckle up your chest strap.
Speaker 6: It's gonna be buckling. You gotta have you gotta bummer
Speaker 6: your chest strap, all right, because look, Bill Belichick, we
Speaker 6: know defensively what he does, he tries to take away
Speaker 6: you know, what your offense does best. And coming from
Speaker 6: his offense, you know that's what they're gonna do. They're
Speaker 6: gonna come straight downhill on the Dallas Cowboys. And you
Speaker 6: said that twelve personnel, so it's gonna force the Cowboys
Speaker 6: to be in a bigger personnel. You might not see
Speaker 6: that big you know, three safety package that they usually
Speaker 6: run out there. So to me, it's gonna be interesting
Speaker 6: to see because Stevenson and zeg you're basically the same
Speaker 6: type of back. They gonna run straight down here, one cut,
Speaker 6: straight down here, coming down in your face. So I
Speaker 6: want to see if pause on it. I want to
Speaker 6: see if Lvee the Moon Clark and those guys. Are
Speaker 6: they gonna come to the point of attack and force
Speaker 6: these guys back or they gonna do a lot of catching,
Speaker 6: because that's what we saw last.
Speaker 2: Week against Arizona.
Speaker 6: You saw James Connor falling forward three four extra yards
Speaker 6: on there because guys are catching out there.
Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens.
Speaker 6: But it's gonna be a big, big time game for
Speaker 6: those two interior defensive tackles and those linebackers because they
Speaker 6: gonna try to get to the second level.
Speaker 2: We'll see if Mizi Smiff and them boys can hold up. Okay, first,
Speaker 2: it's a lot. It's a lot.
Speaker 6: Come on, I'm not I'm not addressing what you just said.
Speaker 6: Heck asked the question about how we feel about the linebackers,
Speaker 6: and you said it a little bit. I want to
Speaker 6: say this, they were confused last week. It reminded me
Speaker 6: it was it was a few years ago when we
Speaker 6: played the Baltimore Ravens and we were seeing those clips
Speaker 6: of the misdirection that was kind of getting them confused
Speaker 6: and they slowed our linebackers down. I think we saw
Speaker 6: that a couple of times like they were catching because
Speaker 6: they were so far behind, then trying to fight off
Speaker 6: a block four yards down. The feel from a lineman
Speaker 6: because they weren't able to see where the ball was going.
Speaker 6: Read this way, pull across, and they're, you know, one
Speaker 6: step behind. That means that linement is on you and
Speaker 6: these hooking guys and all of a sudden you trying
Speaker 6: to get out.
Speaker 2: We saw that a couple times during the game.
Speaker 6: I think Dan Quinn is gonna, you know, help them
Speaker 6: buckle that up and it'll be a little different this
Speaker 6: week against the Patriots.
Speaker 3: And let's squeeze our first break in here when we
Speaker 3: come back. Little white teas play calling from Mike McCarthy.

Speaker 3: twenty one. Church you had LA as well, twenty seven
Speaker 3: to fourteen. Heckman, you had LA winning twenty four to ten.
Speaker 3: And Danny you had LA winning nineteen to thirteen.
Speaker 2: No, that hurt him.
Speaker 5: Nobody was smoking to Joe Burrow.
Speaker 6: I'm glad to be wrong. I didn't think he was
Speaker 6: gonna play, and he went out there with one leg.
Speaker 6: And I'm not even gonna give all the I'm not
Speaker 6: even gonna give all the credit to Joe. They defense
Speaker 6: is they defense is out standing.
Speaker 2: Henderson, He's like.

Speaker 6: That's what Hendridson has obviously beating this man asleep. Why
Speaker 6: would you help it out? Help give some help.

Speaker 6: No, it was getting every snap I want, and I
Speaker 6: want you. I want to give my props later on
Speaker 6: the season. How I just did that for you. Okay,
Speaker 6: I'm not giving the credit to Joe Burrow for that.
Speaker 6: I'm giving it to Cincinnati's defense, all right, But.
Speaker 2: I'm glad. I'm glad.
Speaker 5: I was wrong.
Speaker 6: I am glad I was wrong the Bengals to win.
Speaker 6: But I mean I'm picking with my with my mind,
Speaker 6: not with my heart.
Speaker 3: Well, we all lost out play calling for Mike McCarthy.
Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy said that he did not do a good
Speaker 3: job in terms of getting his three offensive linemen who
Speaker 3: got into the starting lineup enough practice time to you know,
Speaker 3: to prepare them. I should say so. Tyler Biadis, starting center,
Speaker 3: was out. Left tackle Tyron Smith was out. He dressed,
Speaker 3: but he did.
Speaker 5: Not play in the game.
Speaker 3: Zach Martin, you're all pro soon to be Hall of
Speaker 3: Fame right guard did not play in the game. I
Speaker 3: come into this and you guys let me know, and
Speaker 3: I'll start with you first. Here heckman, the Cowboys had
Speaker 3: eight drives in the game, five of them went into.
Speaker 5: The red zone. They only got one touchdown.
Speaker 3: So while we can disagree with some of the play
Speaker 3: calling and not getting in there, man if I and
Speaker 3: this is called me crazy, but if you can do
Speaker 3: this again this week it eight drives and go five
Speaker 3: to the red zone, get fifty, you should be you
Speaker 3: should have a better result.
Speaker 6: Thought. A lot of media games being played yesterday, and
Speaker 6: I love it. I mean, you don't want to throw
Speaker 6: your offense under the bus. But Tony Pollard had twenty
Speaker 6: three cares for one hundred and twenty two yards. I
Speaker 6: mean they stuck with the run. And if you didn't
Speaker 6: believe in your offensive line that would have you'd have
Speaker 6: switched that up, even though Dak had forty passes in
Speaker 6: the game. Like, red zone is a problem and there's
Speaker 6: no other way to look to look at it. Red
Speaker 6: zone is a problem, and a lot of people are
Speaker 6: looking at last year when we had Keller Moore and
Speaker 6: the improvement of what we had last season. They've got
Speaker 6: to find a way to fix it. And I don't
Speaker 6: know if it's communication. I don't know if it's what
Speaker 6: it is, all right, but especially like on those scramble
Speaker 6: trips when we see Dak trying to get out of
Speaker 6: the pocket and looking too that he's not looking at anything.
Speaker 6: So and obviously, you guys know that red zone isn't
Speaker 6: just goal line. It's twenty five thirty in you know
Speaker 6: where you consider that to be the red zone. And
Speaker 6: Dan Quinn even spoke about that, just how the field shortens,
Speaker 6: and I think the decisions have to be quicker. But
Speaker 6: New y'all agree with you. If you just clock in
Speaker 6: fifty percent of those, that's that game. It's a tough game.
Speaker 6: Everybody's looking at you like, man, you got you play
Speaker 6: it that. The Cardinals play you tough, but at least
Speaker 6: you win that and that made the difference in this game. Offensively,
Speaker 6: they got so much stuff that they got to clean up.
Speaker 6: And I don't know if that's not playing in the preseason.
Speaker 6: I don't know if it's the lineman being out, but
Speaker 6: either way, those little things with the offense between Dak
Speaker 6: and Ceedee Lamb, they have to get those things together
Speaker 6: and they have to fix it. I think they'll be
Speaker 6: better for it as a season progresses. Oh listen, I'm
Speaker 6: comfortable with the red zone. I was comfortable with the
Speaker 6: red zone when we were getting down there. We were
Speaker 6: playing great defense. We also said that there will come
Speaker 6: a time when the defense doesn't show up how they
Speaker 6: usually show up, and then we're gonna have to win
Speaker 6: it on offense, and that is getting to the red zone.
Speaker 2: Score point.
Speaker 6: All right, I am going to keep pointing out that
Speaker 6: although we did not get into the end zone like
Speaker 6: we were supposed to, we had opportunities, all right. We
Speaker 6: had faeball to Michael Gallop at the end where could
Speaker 6: have been a pass in afference, but a better places
Speaker 6: ball there. That's a touchdown, all right. Some of the
Speaker 6: stuff that we continue to run is not helping us out.
Speaker 6: Like when you get into the red zone, if you're
Speaker 6: able to force a defense to play man to man
Speaker 6: for whatever reason, for whatever you're doing outside of the
Speaker 6: red zone, you can force them to play man and man.
Speaker 6: That's when you see offensive coordinators be able to get
Speaker 6: creative pick routes, guys coming all the way across the
Speaker 6: formation again wide opening an end zone. When you're not
Speaker 6: and they're able to play zone, it makes it a
Speaker 6: lot more difficult, especially you know, if you're having trouble
Speaker 6: you know, reading defenses or figuring out whatever's going on
Speaker 6: with Dak Prescott. But if you're not able to force
Speaker 6: them into man and man, it's gonna make it more
Speaker 6: difficult for your those boots.
Speaker 2: That you try to run.
Speaker 6: If you aren't forcing guys to step up and react
Speaker 6: to the run and they're able to just turn and
Speaker 6: boot out and cover those tight ends that are coming
Speaker 6: across the field, it's nobody else what you've running out
Speaker 6: of space because you're already cutting off half of the field.
Speaker 6: So I think Michaelcarthy has to get a little bit
Speaker 6: more creative to figure out how we can open things
Speaker 6: up in the red zone because, like you said, it's
Speaker 6: already a condensed situation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it'll get better. I think it'll better
Speaker 2: get better.
Speaker 6: You know, once that opficsive line gets more healthy, which
Speaker 6: we all understand that could be you know, fifty to fifty.
Speaker 6: But once that o officsive line gets a little more healthy,
Speaker 6: I think you'll see more runs down there in the
Speaker 6: red zone. They did a decent job this time, but
Speaker 6: they weren't able to punch it in like we've seen
Speaker 6: in years past.
Speaker 2: So I think once they.
Speaker 6: Can get that run game solid and consistent, then I
Speaker 6: think it'll open up more things. You'll see teams running
Speaker 6: more man in the man coverage because they got to
Speaker 6: have more guys in the box and stop the run,
Speaker 6: and they'll be able.
Speaker 2: To get more creative.
Speaker 6: But when it comes down to play calling and decision making,
Speaker 6: because they had that fourth I think it was fourth
Speaker 6: and three right there, and you could have just you know,
Speaker 6: took the kick or kicked the points, got that and
Speaker 6: kept that momentum rolling you decided to go for it.
Speaker 6: So I think there's two avenues there with play calling
Speaker 6: and the red zone that they have to improve on.
Speaker 2: But I want to ask you all three.
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, after this small sample size and
Speaker 6: this is the first time McCarthy actually got tested as
Speaker 6: a coordinator out there, do y'all still believe Yeah? No,
Speaker 6: I'm still sticking with it. I'm still sticking with it
Speaker 6: because I'm not, like I said, I'm not sure what happened.
Speaker 6: We usually kicked the ball play to our defense, and
Speaker 6: I think that's still the recipe for success for us
Speaker 6: versus what we're seeing out there in LA sometimes. All right,
Speaker 6: So I think him playing to what he expects to
Speaker 6: be the strength of our team throughout the game, it
Speaker 6: just ended up not being that way.
Speaker 2: Do we need to get better than the red zone? Absolutely?
Speaker 6: I would like to address this offensive line thing because
Speaker 6: you asked him. I didn't really get to talk about
Speaker 6: it at any point through this season and last season.
Speaker 6: If you don't have a backup left tackle ready to
Speaker 6: go into the game, that you are not prepared well enough,
Speaker 6: that you are not prepared well enough. And then also
Speaker 6: also you should already have depth and know that a man.
Speaker 6: We need to get some of these guys some one
Speaker 6: reps anyways, but specifically on that left side. If you
Speaker 6: if that guy should probably be splitting reps throughout the
Speaker 6: week or.
Speaker 2: Keep him inside.
Speaker 3: He played well, New York drafted someone to play the left.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I mean, but you didn't, and he's probably
Speaker 6: not getting reps throughout the week. Let's he's probably didn't
Speaker 6: get reps last week. I promise you he's getting reps
Speaker 6: this week. Just I mean, because like you said, like
Speaker 6: you said, it's gonna happen. You know he's gonna miss
Speaker 6: some time, so you prepare yourself for what you know
Speaker 6: is already gonna be there. I was just about to
Speaker 6: give you credit for growth, and then you double down
Speaker 6: with the question. I like that though, because you insinuated
Speaker 6: without actually saying what you want to say that.
Speaker 2: We ain't goose just zone.
Speaker 6: How many times they got in the Arizona I got
Speaker 6: five out of eight times they got into the risk.
Speaker 5: With BA with three with three backup off ofs of line.
Speaker 5: Let me let me make sure, let me let.
Speaker 6: Me get no excuse. No, no, he's not making excuse
Speaker 6: for success. He said they were successful. Even though even.
Speaker 5: With that, even with that, now let's go back to
Speaker 5: your boy. Okay, I hear it.
Speaker 3: So Brandon Staley has this great idea, let's go for
Speaker 3: it on our twenty seven.
Speaker 5: This is what Justin Herbert was doing. Youk about a.
Speaker 3: Guy dealing okay against the Vikings forty of forty seven
Speaker 3: that four.
Speaker 5: Hundred yards three touchdowns.
Speaker 3: So this current time he ain't missing right seven pack
Speaker 3: your boy, as they have run the ball in the
Speaker 3: game fifteen times for thirty yards. He gives it to
Speaker 3: Joshua Kelly on a fullback guy and his dude had
Speaker 3: eleven carries for twelve yards.
Speaker 5: Is that smart play call?
Speaker 2: That was not what it was not?
Speaker 5: That's trigger that's trying to trick him.
Speaker 2: In fourth and three was fourth and three in the
Speaker 2: red zone. So you got the running back who was averagable?
Speaker 2: Was Tony Pollard averaging?
Speaker 5: And no, no, this dude, what you just to run.
Speaker 6: Roll out with Da Prescott with no options in front point?
Speaker 5: We stayed on point.
Speaker 2: You gave it an example, I'm giving it an exact it.
Speaker 6: Listen, Okay, I listened, and I'm with you. But but
Speaker 6: then the previous two weeks We've seen glaring examples of
Speaker 6: killing Moore and for and too many drives to where
Speaker 6: you like, bro, what is what is going on?
Speaker 2: It's consistent.
Speaker 6: I will say this though, there's a difference when you
Speaker 6: talk about those First your man's is playing with a
Speaker 6: historically great defense. Well, he is literally playing with the
Speaker 6: worst defense international football. And I'm not did I say
Speaker 6: that was an excuse? It sounds like I didn't get that.
Speaker 2: Sounds like they got it.
Speaker 5: They got some players over there on that d what
Speaker 5: you're talking about the quarter ain't do. But let's not
Speaker 5: act like they.
Speaker 2: Have the worst defense.
Speaker 6: That's not even The point is justin Herbert has gotten
Speaker 6: the ball with tom left on the clock and the
Speaker 6: opportunity to go win the game. And we've seen it
Speaker 6: the first two weeks where not even where it's like man,
Speaker 6: it just he got said it was like what we
Speaker 6: calling what is that? Put it in the ball in
Speaker 6: his quarterback's hands, and then but then when he didn't
Speaker 6: do it last week, it's a problem.
Speaker 2: See, I don't know.
Speaker 6: Let me ask this, Let me ask this, Let me
Speaker 6: ask this, because I think I think coming into coming
Speaker 6: into this season, our one thing about Mike McCarthy was
Speaker 6: trying to figure out what the identity of this offense
Speaker 6: was gonna be, And in a very short time we
Speaker 6: figured out that identity.
Speaker 2: We're gonna run the ball.
Speaker 6: And we're gonna run into a fault, and we're gonna
Speaker 6: keep on running it, and we're gonna get this offensive
Speaker 6: rhythm and we're not gonna put Dak in a position
Speaker 6: where he's thrown across his body making these stupid plays.
Speaker 6: And then I see on the other side of the Chargers,
Speaker 6: even with the way that Herbert is playing, which was like,
Speaker 6: those are crazy numbers, what is the identity of the
Speaker 6: Chargers right now? And that's the thing that's following him
Speaker 6: there because you don't what is it?
Speaker 2: And I get it.
Speaker 6: But when you talk about identity, you just talked about identity, right,
Speaker 6: So what happens when you get tested?
Speaker 2: You revert back to your identity? Boom?
Speaker 6: What did we see the Cowboys do throw the ball
Speaker 6: forty times? When they're tested, You're going back to your daddy.
Speaker 6: So so what's the identity of the Dallas Cowboys? I mean, listen,
Speaker 6: they threw it forty times, they rushed for how much?
Speaker 6: I mean, it's not like they stop running the ball exactly.
Speaker 2: You was killing? Why why why switch?
Speaker 6: Eventually you got to if you down like that, you
Speaker 6: gotta start throwing the ball. But again again I'm still
Speaker 6: staying this throw the d ball right, all right? So
Speaker 6: you're watching the film, you say, man, we got we
Speaker 6: got these guys and these could be big play opportunities.
Speaker 6: We got to keep taking the shots because like it's open,
Speaker 6: you have to keep trying to throw it, and you know,
Speaker 6: we just haven't been able to capitalize on some of
Speaker 6: those those opportunities.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately.
Speaker 5: Let's keep let's let's keep this going. Let's keep just
Speaker 5: keep it going like that.
Speaker 3: You start help Harrison Church strut up. Boys are falling
Speaker 3: down in the rankings.
Speaker 5: Down bad.

Speaker 3: I'm going to he scrugs. This is the player's Longe,
Speaker 3: brought to you by Tostitos. So the Cowboys, which were
Speaker 3: number one last week. It's a couple rankings, definitely top three. Well,
Speaker 3: the new power rankings are.
Speaker 5: Out and the Cowboys down bad. Let's start with ESPN.
Speaker 3: They've got San Francisco at one, Miami at two, Philadelphia three,
Speaker 3: Kansas City moves up to four, Buffalo at five, oh
Speaker 3: Dallas at six.
Speaker 5: NBC Pro Football Talk.
Speaker 3: Has the forty nine ers at Oneaammy at two, Philadelphia
Speaker 3: at three, Kansas City at four, and they have dropped
Speaker 3: the Cowboys, who were number one in their poll last week,
Speaker 3: to number five. NFL dot Com Dolphins number one. They've
Speaker 3: got San Francisco ran two, Kansas City, three, Philadelphia, four,
Speaker 3: Buffalo five.
Speaker 5: They've got the Cowboys at six.
Speaker 3: USA today has San Francisco at one, Philadelphia two, Miami
Speaker 3: at three, Kansas City at four, Buffalo five.
Speaker 5: Detroit at six, Pittsburgh at seven.
Speaker 3: Cleveland at eight, the Dallas Cowboys at nine, and the
Speaker 3: Ravens at tenth.
Speaker 2: Hold on, hold on, now, look why y'all make all
Speaker 2: that noise at Detroit? Who did Detroit beat? Who did
Speaker 2: Detroit beat? It be Kansas City. I'm just saying, did
Speaker 2: they beat Kansas City?
Speaker 6: The team? And nobody shook their head when they said
Speaker 6: Kansas City was ranked the book, so Detroit.
Speaker 2: Then they go to Kansas City?
Speaker 9: They did?
Speaker 2: Somebody? No, It's like, are you believe you?
Speaker 6: Listen, listen, We've been talking about Dad Campbell Detroit. The
Speaker 6: Detroit lines looked like a totally different team. They look
Speaker 6: like a different team. I'm not I'm not shocked that
Speaker 6: somebody would would rank them and hit us after the
Speaker 6: performance that we put on last week. That was not
Speaker 6: a good performance. No offensively, defensively, specialty, you know, it
Speaker 6: is what it is. But yeah, that it wasn't a
Speaker 6: good performance all around. I don't the first two like
Speaker 6: the Buffalo Cowboys. I mean, you can mixmatch those guys.
Speaker 6: I'm good with that, except for the one that they
Speaker 6: had their walk away eleventh was it on the one
Speaker 6: list or eleventh? I long degree with that one. But
Speaker 6: when you look at those other lists. I mean, what
Speaker 6: teams would you take out, you know, to put the
Speaker 6: Cowboys in there? I mean, Miami, Kansas City, they bawling.
Speaker 6: He saw Philadelphia last night. So outside of the one
Speaker 6: of their way back there, I gotta agree with the
Speaker 6: first two. It's a lot of those teams in the
Speaker 6: AFC don't look the same to me. Can't City is
Speaker 6: one of them. That offense is starting to struggle. Mahomes
Speaker 6: is like he got he's locked in on eight seven
Speaker 6: for everything. But I would I would put Miami at
Speaker 6: number one right now. I mean that's just that's just it.
Speaker 6: And they're talking about that Miami offense, but not enough
Speaker 6: people talking about the Miami defense. Miami defense is balling.
Speaker 6: That's what's carrying without j Brown. Come on, man, that's
Speaker 6: what's carrying.
Speaker 2: A lot of it.
Speaker 6: But you know, this is gonna be week the week
Speaker 6: with us, man, it's gonna be week the week with us,
Speaker 6: and so I expected, but the Buffalo Buffalo, they come on,
Speaker 6: I know what you're gonna say. We lost by twelve
Speaker 6: to the Cardinals, they lost to the Jets. They didn't
Speaker 6: have Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3: M So heck, just get back to what you said
Speaker 3: about Miami. So ESPN has them number two with San
Speaker 3: Francisco in front, and then Pro Football talking, but she's
Speaker 3: got got Miami too, with San Francisco in front of them,
Speaker 3: and then NFL dot COM's got them number one, and
Speaker 3: then USA today has Miami three with Philadelphia and San
Speaker 3: Francisco in front of the many issues.
Speaker 2: With that at all, just in front of them, I don't.
Speaker 6: I just think you know, one two, you can't be
Speaker 6: wrong on that because of San Francisco's defense. I think
Speaker 6: they're gonna always get the benefit of the doubt that
Speaker 6: I think. What thirteen game winning streak in the regular
Speaker 6: season right now, it's crazy. But Miami, to me, they're
Speaker 6: the hottest team in the NFL. And so this whatever
Speaker 6: they got going on with your soul brother number one,
Speaker 6: it's man, they working it, see, and that's type stuff happening.
Speaker 6: It after you go out there and put up seventy
Speaker 6: on Denver, Like we forgot about Denver. We watched them
Speaker 6: for all last season, and then Sean Payton got there
Speaker 6: and we were like, oh, it might be a little different.
Speaker 6: They got seventy put up on them, and if you
Speaker 6: watch the tax they stop. If you watch the take.
Speaker 6: Them boys aren't play no defense. When you get beat,
Speaker 6: you getting beat by fifty to twenty, I'm telling you,
Speaker 6: you like April, run the clock and you and that's
Speaker 6: sitting them players head Like, bro, we got to get
Speaker 6: up out of here.
Speaker 2: But I'm not trying to taste start reheal around here.
Speaker 5: What's up with these AFC West defensive coordinators? Got your boys? Stalley, Hey,
Speaker 5: let's go one on one with with Hill and now
Speaker 5: let's ride come into town, bobs up.
Speaker 3: I think they score with seven red red zone seven
Speaker 3: red zone trips and.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the Rats look bad. I'm like, man, listen, they tripping.
Speaker 6: Who's ahead of us on that last list? Where where
Speaker 6: like you said, like eleven.
Speaker 5: They're nine?
Speaker 9: Four?
Speaker 2: Like up to five?
Speaker 3: Okay, up to Buffalo's of five, then Detroit six, Pittsburgh seven,
Speaker 3: Cleveland eight than Dallas No way, I mean.
Speaker 2: Come on, Cleveland? Is that an argument? Cleveland? I don't know.
Speaker 6: I mean, Cleveland is a hall of a defense. A defense.
Speaker 6: Ain't this in the defense. But I'm just like Watson,
Speaker 6: it's a hell it's a hell of defense. I'm just
Speaker 6: I'm just watching what we did and who we played.
Speaker 6: You know what, I'm saying because you like the Buffalo,
Speaker 6: Buffalo lost to New York without Anon Rodgers and we
Speaker 6: beat them. I mean, but it's still New York without
Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers, Like, it's still it is what it is.
Speaker 6: And they just looking at the teams that they play,
Speaker 6: and you know, the haburg I don't know, Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2: I don't know. They got to continue to get better.
Speaker 6: But by time, like you said, I'm not apologized the winner,
Speaker 6: and they keep finding ways to go out there and win.
Speaker 3: So so let me switch this in our last few
Speaker 3: moments of the show to Dak Prescott. Dak Prescott is
Speaker 3: not throwing a touchdown to a wide receiver since the
Speaker 3: Tampa Bay playoff win. So in San Francisco the touchdown
Speaker 3: pass was to tight end Dalton Schultz. Then they season
Speaker 3: ended Giants this year, no touchdowns from Dak at all.
Speaker 3: The Jets game he threw two touchdown passes, those were
Speaker 3: two tight ends, and then in the Arizona game it
Speaker 3: was a rico' daddle touchdown.
Speaker 5: The running back.
Speaker 4: So thoughts about a wide receiver league now, Boots, He's
Speaker 4: had opportunities.
Speaker 6: I mean, we've seen it in there, especially against Arizona
Speaker 6: he just got to put that thing on the money.
Speaker 6: I mean, we've seen one the CD, We've seen one
Speaker 6: of Michael Gallup. You know, they just got to get
Speaker 6: it on the same page. So I see more you know,
Speaker 6: touchdowns for the wide receivers in the future. But you know,
Speaker 6: as of right now, it just seems like him and
Speaker 6: his wide receivers just on on the same page.
Speaker 2: For whatever reason. Who not on the same page?
Speaker 6: Him or the wide receiver are both the connection between
Speaker 6: Listen them dudes is getting open.
Speaker 2: That's what I've seen.
Speaker 8: Them.
Speaker 6: Dudes are getting open and the catches are made more
Speaker 6: difficult by whatever ball is being thrown. Couldn't have been
Speaker 6: passing the fears, Yes, couldn't that have been totally avoided
Speaker 6: because he was way ahead of the guy and you
Speaker 6: just you know, put in the back of the end
Speaker 6: zone and let him catch the ball.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 6: I think those tight ends that are catching these passes,
Speaker 6: which is why when you see Arizona and you're rolling
Speaker 6: out cutting off half the field, those are the ones
Speaker 6: that are usually going for touchdowns, who come out easy
Speaker 6: touchdown By throwing it to a wild open tight end,
Speaker 6: he kind of got it in in the tight window
Speaker 6: in the previous game to the tight end. But those
Speaker 6: windows are getting closed up because people know that's what
Speaker 6: you're running, that's how you scoring. What are the Cowboys
Speaker 6: going to do to get a touchdown in the rezon?
Speaker 6: And that's what the defensive coordinators looking at saying, oh, hey, listen,
Speaker 6: make sure you're paying attention because one of these players
Speaker 6: is going to be a boot.
Speaker 2: So what are they insinuating with this? You know, it's
Speaker 2: like if the Cowboys won, would we have this conversation? No,
Speaker 2: we wouldn't have it.
Speaker 6: Now it's gonna be all they's go on the left hand,
Speaker 6: but I come on, man, come on now. Eleven we
Speaker 6: go to the Jets. Ceedee Lamb had eleven catch for
Speaker 6: one forty three. All right, didn't score any touchdowns? Okay,
Speaker 6: but he's targeting this man, he's getting him the ball.
Speaker 6: He's he's the numbers are there. He threw his first interception.
Speaker 6: Are we not looking around the NFL at anybody else's
Speaker 6: interceptions besides that?
Speaker 2: But then we're gonna say, oh, he had had a
Speaker 2: touchdown to a wide receiver. Word we two in one?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 2: Come on, man, we ain't owing three miss that we're
Speaker 2: doing today I'm.
Speaker 6: Starting to see this on all the TV shows everywhere.
Speaker 6: Now everybody's a dack apologist. Now talk about like talking
Speaker 6: about and then you can't come here and say nothing
Speaker 6: about what about it?
Speaker 5: What about it?
Speaker 2: So I can't say nothing about to do This is
Speaker 2: what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: We spent all off seasons saying, you know what, wide
Speaker 3: receiving corpse not good, you need to improve it. Here
Speaker 3: comes Brandon Cooks. Now we're saying, Michael Gallop is back
Speaker 3: one hundred, ready to go. Ceedee, Lamb's gotten better out
Speaker 3: of good training camp. They were good at training camp.
Speaker 3: So now you're into three games and there's yet to
Speaker 3: be a wide receiver to catch a touchdown pass in
Speaker 3: a wide receiver league, and you can't ask the question,
Speaker 3: all right.
Speaker 6: So we're just gonna insinuate that what So what are
Speaker 6: we saying that that we need to We need to
Speaker 6: get our receivers and back on the same page in
Speaker 6: the red zone because that is the way to score.
Speaker 2: Okay, but when you.
Speaker 6: Saw eleven for one three, you didn't think that, oh,
Speaker 6: there's a connection between him and CD. When they played
Speaker 6: against played against were talking about the red zone. The
Speaker 6: question wasn't about the he said, he said to the
Speaker 6: what did you say to the WI he had thrown
Speaker 6: a touchdown to a wide receiver not in the red zone?
Speaker 2: Have we been talking about red zone woes?
Speaker 3: We've been talking about red zone And I spoke about
Speaker 3: the fact that there has not been a DAC touchdown
Speaker 3: to a wide receiver since the Tampa Bay playoff.
Speaker 5: Game, so they've been thrown to And then I listed
Speaker 5: who got caught?
Speaker 6: Where do you think they called him from the red zone?
Speaker 6: We're just talking about throwing moms and all that. Come
Speaker 6: on now, and that's what we're saying. They're not being
Speaker 6: They're not thrown far enough for them to even make
Speaker 6: the fifty sixty yard touchdown.
Speaker 2: I was like a little bit more. I'm not I'm not.
Speaker 2: I'm not beating up that presscott. I think that is.
Speaker 2: I think that's that's the point that.
Speaker 3: Rico Donald was a fifteen yard That was a fifteen
Speaker 3: yard pass, uh touchdown and he ran in school.
Speaker 5: Man, that's a running back, the running back, but he
Speaker 5: threw it to him. That was fifteen yards.
Speaker 2: It was it was a will.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the scoonmaker was that was a quick but you yourself, bro,
Speaker 6: I like that bro, but like, I'm not going to
Speaker 6: say it, say, I can't say nothing, b I like,
Speaker 6: I can't.
Speaker 2: Nothing bad about that.
Speaker 5: So and like anything people say, is it a trend?
Speaker 7: Now?
Speaker 5: When you start, that's that and that was how it
Speaker 5: was approached.
Speaker 2: Is this a trend?
Speaker 7: Okay?
Speaker 3: And so when your quarterback is making this kind of money,
Speaker 3: when your quarterback has been given the weapons and it's
Speaker 3: supposed to be an improvement, and we saw in training
Speaker 3: camp where they were actively working on this and you're
Speaker 3: not seeing a payoff.
Speaker 5: It is legitimate to ask the question, to bring it
Speaker 5: up as a topic.
Speaker 2: We get that.
Speaker 6: We're gonna give you three more weeks before you because
Speaker 6: yesterday you was real light and you ain't want to
Speaker 6: say nothing.
Speaker 2: I told y'all says week one. So god, it's just
Speaker 2: week one. It's just weak. It's here we are.
Speaker 3: We're gonna leave this as a discussion, which was robust.
