It's a 14 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: very interesting mood. Definitely not what you thought this last 15 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 1: regular season week would feel like. Going into playoffs. Not 16 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: not what you thought the mood would be. Of course, 17 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,479 Speaker 1: we know the Cowboys falling short to the Commander's twenty 18 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: six to six, but interestingly enough, this Dallas Cowboys team, 19 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 1: despite this feeling, is still heading to the playoffs. That 20 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: number five seed in the NFC. We'll talk about seeding 21 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: here in just a little while, but let's get right 22 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: to it. Chrissie, you were there at the game. You 23 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: had to witness that in person. How are you feeling 24 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: today after all of that. First of all, that was 25 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: pleas It was the ug and ugly, that's for sure, 26 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: and I was disappointed for so many of the Cowboys 27 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: fans that were there. But the thing that is concerned 28 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: to me, it's not just the fact that they lost 29 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: and played so poorly. It's that there were two areas 30 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: that I think that you really wanted to see the 31 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: value they were evaluating heading into the playoffs, and that 32 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: was offensive line because they need some consistency on that. 33 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: They've been a lot of moving parts with the injuries 34 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: and especially with Tyler Biodish being out. But the other 35 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: thing is they wanted to get a look at some 36 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: young cornerbacks and see if they can get you a 37 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: better handle on what they have moving forward. And so 38 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: when Dron Bland gets injured and misses most of the 39 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,239 Speaker 1: second half, and then the young guys who came in 40 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: to get some reps, Trayvon Mullin and Tyler Coyle, you know, 41 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: I'm not sure, especially Mullin, you know how comfortable you 42 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: feel moving forward with that. So that's what concerns me 43 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: is the areas that I was really looking at. I 44 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: think there are just as many questions coming out of 45 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: that game as going into it. Sure, Aisha, how are 46 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: you feeling on this Monday after that very brutal game 47 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: by the Dallas Cowboys? How are you feeling today? I 48 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: guess we talked about before, just disappointed in a sense 49 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 1: because I was also looking at those two particular things. 50 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 1: But I was just disappointed in the fact the how 51 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: like not prepared they looked, and I just just the effort, 52 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: the energy, everything just seemed so off. And I don't 53 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,399 Speaker 1: know if I've seen them that discombobulated this season. So 54 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: and after your point with the secondary, I know Dan 55 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: Quinn and his press conference this past week spoke about 56 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 1: the fact that he felt like he had they had 57 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: found something in that rotation with right Bland and obviously 58 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: Trey Vonn being the guys. So I kind of was 59 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: expecting to see a little more of that. Um So 60 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: that's why I was a little disappointed that that wasn't 61 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: kind of the route that they were going because I 62 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: felt like there was Nashan Wright really looked like he 63 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: was starting to get comfortable in that role. And I 64 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: don't know if that was just to get those other 65 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: guys some looks, but yeah, that was disappointed and it 66 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: was him Nashan Right sharing time at left outside corner 67 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: with Mullin was a plan. So the fact that Nashan 68 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: and I've got the number of snaps here, the fact 69 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,040 Speaker 1: that he didn't, let's see it ended with Mullin and 70 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: taking thirty five of sixty six snaps, so fifty three 71 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,839 Speaker 1: percent of the snaps and Right only played thirty three 72 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: percent of the snaps, just twenty two of them. But 73 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: that was the plan. It's not a reflection. It's it's 74 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: it's not it's not that Nishan was doing poorly and 75 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: they replaced him. They needed to see Mullin because they 76 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: think they know what they have in right. Sure, I 77 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: think that's that's exactly it. And the other thing is, 78 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: and we'll get more into it with defense. But a 79 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: young guy named Tyler Coyle who's a safety, and yeah, 80 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: so they elevated him from the practice squad and they 81 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: need to see if he can be the backup slot 82 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: cornerback to Duran Bland, and so he got a lot 83 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: of work and again they were using this game to see, 84 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: you know what, what do we have if we need 85 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: to have him play in the playoffs. I think for me, 86 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: it's that classic saying I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed. 87 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: Asha and I were talking about this right before we 88 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 1: started recording, and it's one of those things that you 89 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 1: saw momentum building up for this team. Um, you know, 90 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: these last four weeks have been a difficult trend for them, 91 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: with especially those three games in twelve days, gave them 92 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt for that knew that they 93 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: needed rest. After that, they got that rest to come 94 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: back and play like this. For me, it's a very 95 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:15,239 Speaker 1: similar feeling to that Denver game, very deflating feeling, and 96 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 1: I'm still trying to be as positive as i can 97 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: and hold on to the things that we know. We've 98 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: seen them do, We've seen them communicate well, we've seen 99 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: them mentally focus on things. But to me, this was 100 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: a showing of all of the sloppy things this team 101 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,799 Speaker 1: has done over the course of the season that they corrected, 102 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: make its return all at once, all in one game, 103 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: and that's the outcome you get when they don't play 104 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: as a team, they don't play complimentary football. Oh they 105 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: definitely played complimentary football, but the wrong way. Faces were bad, exactly, 106 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: all bad, and it was just so disappointing to watch. 107 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: And you know, it was against this Washington team, which 108 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: you know, no doubt they get their kudos for this game, 109 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: but it also should have been a game that you 110 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 1: get the lead early in the first half, you pull 111 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: your starters, the second half, you feel good about it, 112 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: and you leave that game feeling confident. What worries me 113 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 1: about this kind of game is you have now eight 114 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: days to prepare for Tampa Bay, which we will get into. 115 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: We have all week to get into that. But that 116 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: is not a game that you want to feel any 117 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: kind of self doubt or lack of confidence going into 118 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: because Tom Brady, oh Tom Brady, you cannot stay away 119 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 1: from the Cowboys, and I'm so tired of it. But 120 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: it worries me as far as the confidence level. And 121 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: it worries me, you know, as much as people say, oh, yeah, 122 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: you know, burn the tape and we saw it, we 123 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 1: learned from it, okay, But now it's a matter of 124 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: you're saying it, but are you going to do it? 125 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: And there's no more time to waste. It's a now 126 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 1: or never situation. You're officially in the playoffs, and so 127 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: that's what worries me going forward. Yeah, And to add 128 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 1: to what you're saying about their confidence and stuff, I mean, 129 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: you listen to some of the player interviews after game, 130 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: and a lot of those guys, guys seemed confused. They 131 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: seemed like they were surprised. Was the word that I 132 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 1: think I heard from some of the players is that 133 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: they weren't expecting for things to go that way. And again, 134 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: it's just I don't know about y'all, but if you 135 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: really watched this team intently, and I know you do, obviously, 136 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: I know you do. Like I knew from the first snap, Yeah, 137 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: me personally, I knew from the first snap. You could 138 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: feel the energy. And typically they've shown their ability that 139 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: even sometimes when they start slow, they're able to figure 140 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: it out. When they couldn't even figure it out. After 141 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: not being a to figure it out, I was like, Oh, 142 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: let's wrap it up, let's wrap it up, let's go home. 143 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: Let's because sometimes your guys just ain't got it, and 144 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: it just felt like yesterday. It was it and it 145 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: was a mixture of a lot of things. It was like, 146 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: typically if some one guy doesn't have it, another guy 147 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: can pick up. There you couldn't. You didn't even have that, 148 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: And that's what we say about all three phases' didn't 149 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: help pick up. Although I thought in the first half, 150 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: the defense, the defense, the defense kept them. They were 151 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: only down one score. Yeah, and the third quarter and 152 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: when they came out it started the third quarter, the 153 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: Cowboys were on defense and Chauncey Golston, who played a 154 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: lot in the game because Quentin Bohannah, the notes tackle, 155 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: was inactive, he and Carlos Watkins combined for a tackle 156 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: for loss on third down and they forced a three 157 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: and out. The Cowboys are going to get the ball 158 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: in good field position to start the third quarter one 159 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: score down, and then the offense comes out and does 160 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: a three and out at the first of four three 161 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: and ounce just in the third quarter. Yep. So yeah, 162 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: and it's like, oh man, that was so because the 163 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,959 Speaker 1: previous drive for the offense was late in the second 164 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: quarter where it was the only scoring drive of the 165 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: game for the Cowboys offense. It was a long drive, 166 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: it was a good drive it was, and ended with 167 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 1: a Dack to CD touchdown pass of fifteen yards. But 168 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: and then, and then Maher misses the oh my goodness, 169 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: stabbed to my heart. Special stabs to my heart.

All Right, special teams here, yikes, 245 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: the start of the downfall, Well, we'll start there, because 246 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: there was just so many different things that went wrong 247 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: for this Cowboys team early on. Like you said, Aisha, 248 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: but I think what put the nail in the coffin 249 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: just early on was Brian Anger dropping the ball and 250 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: Brian Anger doing his little scramble. Of course we know 251 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 1: that led to a fumble, a Washington recovery that led 252 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: to their first touchdown by McLaren, who had himself a day. 253 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: And then, as if that wasn't bad enough, m Kavante 254 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: Turpin had another muffed punt. Washington recovered this one as well, 255 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 1: ended in a chance for Washington to get a field 256 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: goal attempt, but kicker Joey style sile Sia Sly ended 257 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 1: up missing at field goal, so he helped us out 258 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: there a little bit. Interestingly enough, though, Christy, I was 259 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: watching this game and just seeing Joey Sly missing the 260 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: field goals like he did, Brett Money Maher missing a 261 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 1: field goal attempt. I mean, there was just so many 262 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: things going wrong with special teams in general. When I 263 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: see games like that, I usually think in my head, 264 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: that has to be something weather related. How was the 265 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: weather out there and was it impacting a lot of 266 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: those plays that you were seeing. Yeah, in fact, the 267 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: wind was very impactful. The grass turf actually held up 268 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: very well, so I think footing was less of an issue. 269 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: But you saw it with the kicks being pushed, so 270 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: not just sly, but you mentioned Mahr missing the extra point. 271 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: Now on that, I think it was a combination and 272 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: probably more seventy thirty. The snap was a little low 273 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: and so Brian Anger was able to get the ball spotted. 274 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: He's the holder and he was able to get the 275 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: ball spotted. But I think it did affect the kick, 276 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: and the the wind also got hold of it and pushed 277 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: it wide left. But you could even see on the 278 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: one where Cavanta turpin where he muffed the punt and 279 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: instead of catching the ball with his hands, it actually 280 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: kind of went off to the side of his helmet 281 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: and face mask and down. The wind was really gusting 282 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: and so when it was that particular direction and trust way, 283 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: the Washington punter had the wind behind him, he got 284 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: that ball really high in the air and it carried 285 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: very very far. So you saw Cavantae have to take 286 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: a couple of extra steps back, and I think the 287 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: wind just affected that ball just enough that instead of 288 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: catching it with his hands, it was kind of high 289 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: and bounced off. And then even with some of the 290 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: passes and the like the couple times where Dak went 291 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: deep on consecutive plays, good throws overall, but that was 292 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: with the wind behind him. But when one thing more 293 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: with Brian Anger, and I did spot this on the 294 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: sideline yesterday, but my friend James Smith, who is the 295 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: Cowboys photographer, he sent me two photos. One was Brian 296 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: Anger's first punt in which he dropped the ball, dropped 297 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: the snap. He was not wearing gloves. He had a 298 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: bare left hand. On the rest of the snaps, he 299 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: was wearing a left glove to help. It was cold, 300 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: it was stable, chilly, yeah, yeah, but it felt colder 301 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: with the with the wins as the game went on, 302 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: so he switched to gloves, but he didn't have them 303 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: on for that first one when the ball went through 304 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: his hands. Yeah. I think you guys talked about most 305 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: of the stuff, but it as far as the starting 306 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: field position was rough too. And that's something that we've 307 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: been talking about for the last couple of weeks. I 308 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: know I've been beating on the table about it. Number One, 309 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's because Tarpan is goodn't get returns, they're getting 310 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: called back due to penalty. But then sometimes the decision 311 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: making is yesterday, I felt like put them in even 312 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: tough spots. And that's partially because you know, you're trying 313 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,239 Speaker 1: to make something happen, You're trying to get your confidence back, 314 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: You're trying to get back into it. But the starting 315 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 1: field position, when the Cowboys start close or deep to 316 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: their own end zone, I'm tight, y'all, like I'm stressed, 317 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: because that's why we're having That's where the Cowboys are 318 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: having these pick sixes. It's where and granted, like the 319 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: field gets smaller the closer you get to any type 320 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: of end zone, so the it's just that situation right 321 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 1: there really puts them in a tough spot, and it 322 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: seems like they've had trouble getting out of that spot. 323 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm really looking at what the starting field 324 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: position is going to be moving forward and how much 325 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 1: better it is just to help this offense, because when 326 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: they are behind the chains in that in that way, 327 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: it seems like the counter that that is difficult for 328 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 1: them to find and it always ends badly. It feels 329 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: like at this point, I feel like it's almost like 330 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,880 Speaker 1: a rubber band analogy, where you have a rubber band 331 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: and you're pulling, and you're pulling. That's the Cowboys trying 332 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 1: to build momentum, trying to be confident, trying not to 333 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: panic in that sense during this game, and trying to 334 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: get everything together to where you pull so hard it 335 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: just snaps. And that is almost what we saw at it. 336 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 1: It's not even almost, that's what we saw from this 337 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: Cowboys team of they were trying and trying and trying 338 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,959 Speaker 1: and trying to the point where it just it wasn't working, 339 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: and it was defeating, deflating more than anything. They couldn't 340 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: dig themselves out of their own holes. But to your 341 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: point of the bad field position, this is the first 342 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: half Cowboys owned ten yard line, owned twenty five, owned 343 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: twenty one, owned twenty owned twenty five. They did get 344 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: the ball at their own forty seven. That was after 345 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,239 Speaker 1: Joey Slide missed the fifty two yard field goals, So 346 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: that's why they had good field position there. And then 347 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: their last possession of the first half, the one where 348 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,880 Speaker 1: they drove at seventy seven yards, started at their own 349 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: twenty three, so and compared to Washington, this is Washington 350 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 1: on the Cowboys, twenty on their own, thirty eight on 351 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,400 Speaker 1: the Cowboys fifteen on their own thirty three one when 352 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,880 Speaker 1: they were pushed back to their own eighteen their own 353 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: seventeen and then the final one in touchbacks. There's nothing. 354 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: There's nothing you can do about that. Brett Anger had 355 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: ten pounds for four hundred and seventy eight yards yesterday 356 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 1: and tired. And you could sell towards those game. Yeah, 357 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: I tweeted like they get fatigue too and ten ten pounds. Yeah. Well, 358 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: one thing he was having to do when he was 359 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: kicking into the wind, you saw somewhere it was more 360 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: of a spiral and a little more of a line drive. 361 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,679 Speaker 1: If he got that ball too high, it was going 362 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: to blow back. So some of those ones that looked 363 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 1: more like a line drive and were a little lower 364 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: were on purpose to try and spiral that ball a 365 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 1: little forward the air put but with the ten punts 366 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 1: should have been eleven. It went into then a fumble 367 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: when it went through his hands. But fifteen possessions, guys, 368 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: fifteen possessions is a ton in the NFL. Yeah, not 369 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: ten is about normal, right, And the reason why it 370 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: was fifteen is because you had three Both teams had 371 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 1: all these three and outs in the second half, and 372 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: we're having to punt so much. Well, let's let's shift 373 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: gears a little bit now to the offense because that 374 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 1: field position and wasn't helping the offense, like you said, 375 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: staying behind the sticks throughout most of the game. So 376 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: let's go down some stats from this Washington and Dallas matchup. 377 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 1: One hundred and eighty two yards total, one hundred and 378 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 1: eighteen of which we're passing, sixty two of which were rushing. Ooh, 379 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 1: that is painful to say, averaging two point eight yards 380 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 1: per play. During this time. They had ten first downs, 381 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 1: they were four and eighteen of third down conversions, one 382 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: of three and fourth down efficiency. Of course, we know 383 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: one interception that led to a pick six. Time of possession. 384 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: Dallas had the ball for twenty three minutes and forty 385 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 1: eight seconds, Washington had it for thirty six minutes and 386 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: twelve seconds. Again, all things that we have talked about 387 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: on this podcast that when these things go right for 388 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 1: the Cowboys typically they're going to win the game when 389 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: they go wrong. This is exactly what you see. So 390 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: obviously we know a very sloppy game from the Cowboys offense. 391 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: But you could contribute this to a lot of things. 392 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: Play calling, lack of you know, run game, o line stability, miscues, miscommunications, 393 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: they're down, conversion, staying behind the sticks. There's so many 394 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: things you can sit there and say. But at the 395 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: end of the day, guys, what is the solution to 396 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: fix all of this in the next eight days? Christy, 397 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 1: how do you even start? Yeah, that's the thing. Re 398 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: Establishing the run game is so imperative. But it's interesting 399 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 1: because postgame Zeke said the same thing that he said 400 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 1: the previous week against Tennessee. Now, the Cowboys won that game, 401 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 1: but it was hard to run in Tennessee has a 402 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: really stout front, just like Washington does. But he was 403 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: commenting about the movement along the defensive line and that 404 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: made it difficult for the Cowboys. So all of us 405 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: are you know, the little antenna stood up as we're saying, Oh, 406 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: that's the same thing as he said last week. And 407 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: so Mike McCarthy was asked that question today. Hey, Zeke 408 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,439 Speaker 1: said this, what about it, and I'm gonna look at 409 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: my notes as to what Mike said. He said that 410 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 1: other than yes, there's movement along the line that's very common, 411 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,679 Speaker 1: But he says that the bigger challenge, more than line movement, 412 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: is the multiplicity of fronts. In the NFL. You basically 413 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: think of a four man front or a three four. 414 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,679 Speaker 1: You a three man front where you have like an 415 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: outside linebacker lining up as an edge rusher. But he said, 416 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: you're seeing a lot more of these five and six 417 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: man looks, and so the thing is the recognition, right, 418 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: So communication, recognition, all those types of things, and so 419 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: you get into these five and six man fronts and 420 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,199 Speaker 1: then they start moving and it just adds to the 421 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 1: layers of difficulty there. So if you want to think 422 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 1: about it from a cowboy perspective of when we do 423 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: cool stuff and have Mica move around, or we'll have 424 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 1: Laton come up. Yeah, So think of it from that standpoint. 425 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 1: All the NFL teams do it. So what the Cowboys 426 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 1: have been doing to the other teams is happening to 427 00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: the Cowboys now and they aren't reacting as well as 428 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 1: they should. Yeah. Another thing he said was the decision 429 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,439 Speaker 1: on Tyler Smith is imperative. That's what he said. Smith 430 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: or beyond beyontist is imperative and obviously said that he 431 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: had a good workout today and stuff. And Babe, let 432 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,199 Speaker 1: me tell you, yeah, you you missed your center. And 433 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 1: not only just because for the reasons you're talking about, 434 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 1: because he's the guy who does the checks, he's the 435 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 1: one that does a lot of the communication. People consider 436 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: him the quarterback of the offensive line, and you miss 437 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: your your quarterback. And I'm assuming also too is you 438 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: do have some new guys in their tyrants in there. 439 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 1: The communication but him between him and Zach Martin has 440 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: been if he at times, and there's the continuity I 441 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,360 Speaker 1: guess you talk about with the offensive line is kind 442 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,199 Speaker 1: of like non existent right now and when you're on 443 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: the road and stuff like that and you need the 444 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 1: communication to be good. I really feel like the lack 445 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: of the loss of Tyler was huge yesterday in particular, 446 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,479 Speaker 1: and they couldn't overcome it. So for me moving forward, 447 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: that is, I think if the offensive line can at 448 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,360 Speaker 1: least get to a place to where maybe even back 449 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: to the same unit they were last week, at least 450 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: you at least you know then that there that guys 451 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 1: are kind of in their right spot at the time 452 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: because of all the shifting that's had to happen, and 453 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 1: you would hope that the communication and stuff would be 454 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: better from there because they're not getting anything from a 455 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: run game right now, and it just puts so much 456 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 1: pressure on your passing game and put so much pressure 457 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 1: on your quarterback and it's just been tough slit in 458 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,679 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. Well, you make my transition 459 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: very easy here. Dak Prescott clearly not finding a groove 460 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 1: during this game. To say, at the very least, a 461 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 1: very bad game from Dak. Let's call it what it 462 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 1: was his probably arguably his worst game that we've seen 463 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: from Dak. I mean one pick six, but there were 464 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 1: multiple times where again turnovers could have been an issue. 465 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: And not only that, it's the way that pick six happen. 466 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,919 Speaker 1: Because let's go over how that all went down. It 467 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,199 Speaker 1: was the Cowboys fourth drive and going back to my 468 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: notes because it was like you could see this coming 469 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:15,439 Speaker 1: from a mile away and you did it happened. But sorry, guys, Okay, 470 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: So it's second and six. You see pressure on Dak. 471 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: Prescott throws the ball away almost intercepted by Fuller when 472 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 1: he's throwing the ball away. And then the very next 473 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,199 Speaker 1: play that's when the pick six happened again by guess who, Fuller, 474 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: who was right there reading Dak all along, taking it 475 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:38,679 Speaker 1: down into the end zone. Now here's the thing, Dak again. 476 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: We will we will credit Dak when credit is due, 477 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: but we will also say the honest truth of this 478 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 1: was an awful game for Dak. He had the lowest 479 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 1: completion rating or lowest completion percentage rather of his career 480 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 1: at thirty seven point eight percent. He was fourteen of 481 00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 1: twenty nine and just okay, sorry, excuse me going back 482 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: because I was I wanted to go back to the 483 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: comparable to what was Dak's worst game of the season. Right, 484 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,199 Speaker 1: it was Week one against the Bucks, and that does 485 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: not make you feel any better. Back then he had 486 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: he was twenty nine of fourteen with a forty eight 487 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,880 Speaker 1: point three completion percentage, so better than what you saw 488 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: yesterday at least. But during that game, again, he had 489 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 1: one hundred and forty three yards. During this game he 490 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 1: had one hundred and twenty eight and he was thirty 491 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 1: seven of fourteen. It is just very difficult to even 492 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: It's not all Dak's fault. We know this. There's there's 493 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,639 Speaker 1: a line issues, there's miscues. You even go back to 494 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: the receivers. There was no separation. There was dropped balls everywhere. 495 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 1: And the ball placement, of course, is that on Dak? 496 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 1: Is that on miscues of not making the routes and 497 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: running your routes, the decision making, all the situational decision making. 498 00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: It's just so it's so disheartening to see this team 499 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: play like this. And you know, Dak Prescott, he's always 500 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 1: been that leader that goes out there and he amps 501 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: you back up. But what worries me about him again 502 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: is I go back to that confidence issue that we've 503 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: just talked about that a game like this can do. Christie, 504 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 1: something that you had wanted to talk about today was 505 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: keeping Jason Peters out there for so longer in this game. 506 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: Why the heck was Dak out there for so longer 507 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: in this game as well? Yeah, I think it's a 508 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: thing where, first of all, they weren't out of it, Okay, 509 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: I mean it was through the end of the third, 510 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: it was a one score game in the second half, 511 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,120 Speaker 1: and by the way, the Eagles had not put away 512 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: the Giants if you remember, the Giants came back and 513 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 1: it was a six point game late, but really the 514 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: no help Giants, but stand them right now. But really 515 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 1: it was a thing where I think that the coaching 516 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: staff wanted to go out kind of on a more 517 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: positive note. So not on all these three and outs, 518 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: but the point that your forty year old left tackle 519 00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: is playing sixty seven of sixty seven snaps. By the way, 520 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,440 Speaker 1: Tyrann Smith at right tackle, and he's been a war 521 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 1: horse since he came back and taken as many snaps 522 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,159 Speaker 1: as possible. You only got him on the sideline for 523 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 1: three snaps. So Josh Ball came in for that last 524 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 1: series at the end of the game, just the three snaps, 525 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 1: and then they took Zack Martin out. He was replaced 526 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: by Dakota Shepley for two offensive series, so he only 527 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: missed like six snaps. But but that's what was disheartening 528 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,199 Speaker 1: to me was that you weren't efficient enough to have 529 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,919 Speaker 1: a decent drive where the coaching staff could say, Okay, 530 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 1: we're done. You know we're going to end on a 531 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 1: little bit of a high note, at least a good 532 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: scoring driver or you know, a first down, and couldn't 533 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: manage that. So, but I like what you said, Jess 534 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: about the receivers not getting separation. They kudos to Washington. 535 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: They are very aggressive style of defense under a coordinator 536 00:28:56,080 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: Jack del Rio, a former Cowboy. But those dbs took 537 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: it to the wide receivers. I mean that can There 538 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: were the catches were contested and and the receivers did 539 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 1: not help Dak. And then there were sometimes where they 540 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: were open and Dak missed them. But um yeah, I 541 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 1: was really just and there have just been too many 542 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 1: games this season where Michael Gallup is a non factor. 543 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: So and even t Ye Hilton, you know, with a 544 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: drop and when when he dropped it, I'm like, oh man, this, 545 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: I knew he was gone. But when I when I 546 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 1: seen Zach Martin getting pushed around, I saw, you know what, 547 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: they need to go to the house right now. They 548 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: need to go take a nap right now. Because it 549 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: was a mixture of like we talked about, it was everything. 550 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: But I do want to say, and I hope that 551 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: I'm okay to say this, but I just feel like 552 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 1: when we talk about even the receivers and the separation 553 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: and stuff like, I could be tritment. It could just 554 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 1: be me. There was no motion, there was no like 555 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: what was I don't understand that what they were doing 556 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:03,239 Speaker 1: was not conducive to what the commanders do will So 557 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 1: I mean, you played them before earlier in the year 558 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: and saw you can't run the ball that way, in 559 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: that way, in that particular way to try a straight 560 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: at them. It's not that hasn't worse before. And I mean, 561 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 1: and then when you go by look back and look 562 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 1: at the tape, a lot of the route concepts or 563 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 1: things we've been talking about before, no spacing guys right 564 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 1: next to each other. I don't This is just me. 565 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 1: I think nobody helped anybody on that side of the ball. 566 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: I've Interestingly enough, though, let's get into that because I 567 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: went back and I looked at some of the stats 568 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 1: from the last time the Cowboys played Washington and the 569 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: run game, specifically, because the run game was basically non 570 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: existent during this game. So let's talk about that. Because 571 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: Tony Pollard for this game had seven carries for nineteen yards, 572 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 1: he averaged two point seven yards per carry. Keep in mind, 573 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: during Week four, the last time Cowboys played Washington, he 574 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: had eight carries for six yards, and it was it 575 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 1: was Tony Pollard's worst game up until that point, so 576 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: Washington kind of had Tony Pollard's number since Week four. 577 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: And then you saw it again. Leek Davis had more 578 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 1: carries or excuse me, more yardage than Zeke. He had 579 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 1: five carries for nineteen yards, and then Zeke had eight 580 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: carries for ten yards. Again, Christie, I'm so glad you 581 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: brought up the run game. It was not established, and 582 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: we've seen what happens when that's not established. But ladies, 583 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: we still have yet to get into the defense. And 584 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,719 Speaker 1: I just checked the time, So let's go ahead and 585 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 1: talk about defense after this next break. We're talking about 586 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: how this defense still pulled off a historic regular season, 587 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 1: but why this game could be so worrisome for them. 588 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 1: We're talking about it.

Sam Williams had two buying tackles, 660 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,800 Speaker 1: both were tackles for loss by the way one sack 661 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,320 Speaker 1: and that was his fourth of the regular season. Micah 662 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 1: Parsons two combined tackles credited with half a sack. So 663 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 1: with thirteen point five sacks for the season, that is 664 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,240 Speaker 1: a new career high for Micah Parsons since last season 665 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:22,000 Speaker 1: he had thirteen. All Right, this is a little light, 666 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 1: a little bit better to talk about in some ways 667 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,280 Speaker 1: because the defense put up a fight. They were fighting 668 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 1: all the way until the end. And you know, I 669 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,839 Speaker 1: think something that always worries me about games like this, 670 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,720 Speaker 1: and it did worry me, especially on the defensive side, 671 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,880 Speaker 1: was injuries. So Christy, there was a few guys that 672 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,759 Speaker 1: we saw go down go into the medical tent, one 673 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,280 Speaker 1: of which was Duran Bland Mike McCarthy giving an update 674 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 1: on Duran the Land today. What was that update? Yeah, 675 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,319 Speaker 1: that looks like he'll be able to practice this week. 676 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 1: So he went again same as last week, starting outside 677 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,839 Speaker 1: in place of Anthony Brown at left cornerback and then 678 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 1: moving inside to play in the nickel in the slot 679 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,839 Speaker 1: in nickel and dimes situations. And that's when Nashan Wright 680 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,880 Speaker 1: took over at left corner and then Trayvon Mullen rotated 681 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 1: in with Nashan Wright, and then the as I mentioned earlier, 682 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,920 Speaker 1: Tyler Coyle, the safety who Mike McCarthy I asked him 683 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 1: about him today, said he's got some cornerback traits and 684 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 1: they thought that they the reason they elevated him from 685 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 1: the practice squad this week and was they wanted to 686 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 1: see if he could get some work in the slot 687 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,520 Speaker 1: and match up there. And it was interesting because when 688 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:35,080 Speaker 1: the inactives were announced and it becomes official ninety minutes 689 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,800 Speaker 1: before kickoff, Quentin Bohanna was a surprise to me not 690 00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 1: playing defensive tackle. Remember early in December he had missed 691 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 1: a game with the knee injury and he's been limited 692 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,319 Speaker 1: in practice the first few weeks of December, So they 693 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 1: just wanted to make sure he was going to be 694 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,560 Speaker 1: okay with that knee. So that gave Chauncey Golston and 695 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,320 Speaker 1: Carlos Watkin's more time, but they wanted to see Tyler 696 00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,920 Speaker 1: Coyle and so, but we didn't want to see that 697 00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 1: much of Tyler Coyle in the second half because of 698 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:03,240 Speaker 1: Bland's injury. The other main thing was Jayron Curse. Luckily 699 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,640 Speaker 1: he was okay. He came to the Blue Medical tent 700 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:10,919 Speaker 1: for a cognitive evaluation past that surprisingly did go back 701 00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 1: into the game for He was allowed to go back 702 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 1: in because he passed the cognitive test, But I was 703 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:17,920 Speaker 1: a little surprised that they put him in at that 704 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 1: point in the fourth quarter. But he did do another 705 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,239 Speaker 1: defensive series. Yeah, he's Jaron Curse. I feel like that 706 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 1: has been like every game he's had something he's been. Yeah, 707 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,000 Speaker 1: this one he fell back in the back of his head, 708 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,719 Speaker 1: hit the turf and so they just wanted to go 709 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 1: ahead and take every precaution and give him check him 710 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,839 Speaker 1: out in the blue medical tent. Well, it's Tyler Coil. 711 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:37,640 Speaker 1: I wonder if that has anything to do with what 712 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 1: you mentioned earlier about last week about mackenzie. So McKenzie 713 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,759 Speaker 1: Alexander was the guy, and he did a lot of 714 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,799 Speaker 1: work in the slot as a cornerback nickel corner in Minnesota. 715 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 1: But what happened was he hurt his was it hamstring? Yeah, 716 00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:01,799 Speaker 1: a soft tissue injury, and so he wasn't available to 717 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:06,280 Speaker 1: be elevated last week and he's still not available because 718 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,319 Speaker 1: of the injury. So that's why they had to experiment 719 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:14,280 Speaker 1: with Mullen and Coil. Sorry real quick, just a side 720 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,080 Speaker 1: note since we're on the topic of injuries is during 721 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,120 Speaker 1: his press conference earlier, Mike McCarthy said things are looking 722 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,040 Speaker 1: up for both late and Vanderesh and Jonathan Hankins and 723 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,840 Speaker 1: that's going to be huge, which literally and figurative. Oh yeah, 724 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,960 Speaker 1: big guys. Yeah, but Hankins with the run defense, and 725 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,920 Speaker 1: then Layton, who said, such a great year, so important 726 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:37,200 Speaker 1: with the communication as well. Yeah, and you've seen I think, 727 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:41,799 Speaker 1: if anything, the absence of late In Vanderesh will give 728 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,319 Speaker 1: Cowboys fans the appreciation they have always needed to have 729 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 1: for late In Vanderesh and especially the growth that he's 730 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:51,080 Speaker 1: had over these past two seasons. I'll give him that. 731 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,400 Speaker 1: But let's talk run defense real quick, because we have 732 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,960 Speaker 1: five minutes left. This podcast goes by so fast when 733 00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:00,399 Speaker 1: I'm talking football with y'all. But run defense, Aisha, there 734 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,440 Speaker 1: was somebody that I know you wanted to get into, 735 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,640 Speaker 1: Chauncey having himself a game. He had a ninety point 736 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:10,560 Speaker 1: three rating per p f F was this game I 737 00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:14,200 Speaker 1: was waiting there? Yeah, I mean you mentioned that they 738 00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,919 Speaker 1: that Bohanna wasn't available to go. It surprised me as well, 739 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:21,080 Speaker 1: But immediately I was like, oh, Chauncey. Chauncey, and I 740 00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,960 Speaker 1: went to college in Iowa, so I'm familiar with the 741 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 1: hawk eyes and stuff, So Chauncey might be somebody I 742 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,799 Speaker 1: just pay attention to a little bit more. But he 743 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,840 Speaker 1: was so stout and active, and I just I see 744 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,480 Speaker 1: that at DT. He put on some size in the offseason. 745 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,719 Speaker 1: His size is a big deal, but his speed to 746 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,200 Speaker 1: those inside guys is too much, and he's able to 747 00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 1: get off the ball and make tackles. He was so 748 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,480 Speaker 1: active yesterday, and so although I was not happy to 749 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,919 Speaker 1: see Bohanna not playing, I thought this was a good 750 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,920 Speaker 1: opportunity for the coaching staff also to see what he 751 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,520 Speaker 1: is now capable of at the DT position. The young 752 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 1: guys Ohsa Sam, those guys. I felt like this game 753 00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,120 Speaker 1: was good for them to build that confidence, especially in 754 00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,399 Speaker 1: what they did in the run game. And as far 755 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 1: as the secondary, if you eliminate We've been saying it 756 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,440 Speaker 1: for weeks, you eliminate that one big player game. This 757 00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,960 Speaker 1: defense to me looks a lot differently than what you 758 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,719 Speaker 1: what we've been seeing. So we'll see how it goes 759 00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,879 Speaker 1: with the secondary. Sure, and that run defense. That's been 760 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:20,080 Speaker 1: a topic of conversation pretty much all season at this point, 761 00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,960 Speaker 1: how do you both feel about the run defense? And 762 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,680 Speaker 1: we're talking in eight days. You have a potential late 763 00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,960 Speaker 1: in Vanderesh who's likely to return. Jonathan Hankins likely to 764 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,120 Speaker 1: return at this point. I'll be surprised if they don't. 765 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,719 Speaker 1: But something to keep in mind when thinking about this, 766 00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,520 Speaker 1: what we've seen from the Cowboys are these ramp up 767 00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:41,279 Speaker 1: phases where when somebody comes out of injury, they don't 768 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:44,319 Speaker 1: necessarily jump right back in full speed, full force, kind 769 00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 1: of grow their way to it. A bit of a 770 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:50,600 Speaker 1: different pickle now because playoffs, it is playoff time. You 771 00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,640 Speaker 1: don't have time for that it necessarily like you what 772 00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:55,719 Speaker 1: a regular season game, how do you think that's going 773 00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,280 Speaker 1: to be managed. And do you think that run defense 774 00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:00,920 Speaker 1: is going to be strong enough going into postseason when 775 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:04,840 Speaker 1: you're facing a Tampa Bay team against Tampa Yes, because 776 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:09,000 Speaker 1: their strength is passing and their wide receiver corps. I'm 777 00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,600 Speaker 1: worried about the second. I'm worried about the cornerbacks, not 778 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,400 Speaker 1: the run defense for this first rounded the playoffs, but 779 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,239 Speaker 1: to your point of for a full playoff run, yes, 780 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 1: the run defense, but yes, Havin Hankins back and Vanderesh 781 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:26,000 Speaker 1: and Bohannah as well, so it will be Um, you know, 782 00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:29,040 Speaker 1: have our big bodies back up the middle, so that's 783 00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:32,839 Speaker 1: going to to help a lot. But um, the other 784 00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:36,160 Speaker 1: thing about with the practice schedule, I think it's not 785 00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,759 Speaker 1: just that there'll be an extra day of preparation this 786 00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,440 Speaker 1: week because the game is on Monday night. It's that 787 00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,840 Speaker 1: I think we're going to have real practices this week. Honestly, 788 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,239 Speaker 1: the last three weeks they have the APP it's been 789 00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:51,000 Speaker 1: like jog throughs. Yeah, they and they haven't had a 790 00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:54,759 Speaker 1: padded practice and that's not unusual because you only get 791 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:58,719 Speaker 1: fourteen padded practices in an eighteen week regular season, and 792 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:02,320 Speaker 1: you're scaling back in way in December because of fatigue 793 00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,240 Speaker 1: and you want to keep your guys fresh and stuff, 794 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:08,040 Speaker 1: But just to have a real practice where you can 795 00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 1: really work on. Now you're not hitting each other, you're 796 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:15,360 Speaker 1: not tackling. If someone goes to the ground, that's by accident. 797 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,920 Speaker 1: You everyone stay on their feet. Note you're never going 798 00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:21,000 Speaker 1: to see people go to the ground for tackles in 799 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,560 Speaker 1: a regular season practice. But just to be able to 800 00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,960 Speaker 1: work on your run fits and your combination blocking and 801 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,879 Speaker 1: things like that. Hadn't had that for nearly a month, 802 00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:33,560 Speaker 1: you can, so, yeah, you can tell you. And so 803 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,680 Speaker 1: I think that's really really important that that is such 804 00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:38,120 Speaker 1: a good point. I USh, I'm going to go back 805 00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:41,120 Speaker 1: to you for this. The pass rush under scrutiny these 806 00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,880 Speaker 1: past few weeks, with the lack of sacks and pressure 807 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,759 Speaker 1: really that this defense was doing for the start of 808 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,680 Speaker 1: the season. Is it still as effective as it used 809 00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:52,760 Speaker 1: to be or can it still get to that level? 810 00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:54,879 Speaker 1: What do you think is going to help that pass rush, 811 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,480 Speaker 1: especially when we're talking about it Tom Brady, who can 812 00:43:57,920 --> 00:43:59,919 Speaker 1: get that ball out of his hand quicker than people blink. 813 00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,640 Speaker 1: I mean, you're talking about Tom Brady this week. Can 814 00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,879 Speaker 1: this pass rush make an impact on Monday Night? Well? 815 00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:08,160 Speaker 1: With getting a week from today not tonight. With him 816 00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,759 Speaker 1: getting the vault out quickly, hopefully your linebacker plays is 817 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,279 Speaker 1: better because they're using a lot of intermediate stuff to 818 00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,600 Speaker 1: just get rid of the ball fast, and the Cowboys 819 00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:20,640 Speaker 1: linebackers are having some trouble with that. So hopefully that's 820 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,640 Speaker 1: kind of mediates some of the short pass intermediate stuff. 821 00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,759 Speaker 1: But I also feel like when you get Hankins back, 822 00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:29,360 Speaker 1: when you get some of those guys that have that 823 00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,920 Speaker 1: size back, they can take on double teams, they can 824 00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:33,560 Speaker 1: take on more guys. And this is just me, I 825 00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,239 Speaker 1: feel like since those gentlemen have been gone out, the 826 00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:41,160 Speaker 1: stunt game has been minimized just because of that size 827 00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:44,160 Speaker 1: in the middle and the attraction how many guys that 828 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,520 Speaker 1: attracts and the DNS be able to kind of be 829 00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,200 Speaker 1: free in that regard. I'm really hoping that when Hankins 830 00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,040 Speaker 1: and those guys comes back, not only does it put 831 00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:53,800 Speaker 1: you more favorable positions to be able to rush the passer, 832 00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:57,520 Speaker 1: but also too, hopefully having that size opens up some 833 00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,279 Speaker 1: of the pass rushing ability because you have guys doing 834 00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,239 Speaker 1: things right now that they're not typically accustomed to. I 835 00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:07,040 Speaker 1: don't consider also DIGGI Zula like a super stout, like 836 00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:08,959 Speaker 1: I'm going to stop the run guy, but he's doing 837 00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,080 Speaker 1: it because he has to. Right now, you have a 838 00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:12,960 Speaker 1: lot of guys feeling in doing things they have to 839 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,200 Speaker 1: do right now. Hopefully you get Laden Hankins back and 840 00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,520 Speaker 1: that kind of restores some order and guys are playing 841 00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,080 Speaker 1: at a position or doing things that they're not used 842 00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,200 Speaker 1: to typically doing. I love that good point, very good stuff. 843 00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:27,759 Speaker 1: All right. Obviously this game hard to give flowers to 844 00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:31,560 Speaker 1: somebody in this game specifically, so we're gonna change it 845 00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:35,160 Speaker 1: up this week. We're gonna say our regular season flowers 846 00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:40,000 Speaker 1: because the regular season officially over for everybody. That is crazy. 847 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:44,120 Speaker 1: That went by very fast. Wow, oh now that's very fast. Yeah, 848 00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,200 Speaker 1: a regular season here, just for the regular season. Somebody 849 00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:52,120 Speaker 1: who might have surprised you, somebody who exceeded expectations, somebody 850 00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,040 Speaker 1: who continued to impress maybe when you didn't think they would. 851 00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:59,000 Speaker 1: Who are you giving your regular season flowers too? He said, dah, 852 00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,399 Speaker 1: no one. I'm gonna go with Tyler Smith, all right, 853 00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,520 Speaker 1: both of that, yeah, because I mean to step in 854 00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:09,680 Speaker 1: at left tackle with the week, you know, after doing 855 00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,359 Speaker 1: all of training camp in preseason at left guard and 856 00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:14,759 Speaker 1: and sure he would, would he end up with like 857 00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:19,840 Speaker 1: eight holding penalties or something like that, but but overall, no, really, Um, 858 00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:21,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, Tyler Smith, he's been staying out and 859 00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:23,759 Speaker 1: he's going to be a fabulous player. It's going to 860 00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,680 Speaker 1: be so much better. And even just with Jason Peters 861 00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,480 Speaker 1: in there to help him, Oh my goodness, I can't 862 00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,759 Speaker 1: imagine how much how much that's gonna sell him. I'm 863 00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,440 Speaker 1: also basing man on what the coaches and teammates say 864 00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,920 Speaker 1: about him, how studious he is, and he's just a 865 00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:40,319 Speaker 1: nice guy. He's a great guy, such a nice and 866 00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:43,520 Speaker 1: polite guy. Aisha who gets your regular season flowers they're 867 00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:47,040 Speaker 1: trying to staff. Yeah, that's a good one. I don't 868 00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,480 Speaker 1: really know how us to like just to even be 869 00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:52,560 Speaker 1: in a position so where you're getting guys back, Um, 870 00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,759 Speaker 1: that we were worried about to go into this. Uh, 871 00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,640 Speaker 1: this this run they've done so much. This season has 872 00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:03,000 Speaker 1: been crazy with injury's, Dak Prescott tiring, all like this 873 00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,600 Speaker 1: could have went so sideways if they weren't able to 874 00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:09,200 Speaker 1: get guys healthy and ready in the right time. So again, 875 00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,440 Speaker 1: for the second season, I think I said this for 876 00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:14,160 Speaker 1: them last year. I was like this, They real MVP. Yeah, yes, 877 00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,399 Speaker 1: the training staff, Brett Brown, those those folks, real MVP. 878 00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:22,440 Speaker 1: Claire that we have them, Claire and and Greg and 879 00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,759 Speaker 1: handsome everybody do they do a wonderful, fantastic job. All right, 880 00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:29,080 Speaker 1: think of a player, because I'm that don't count. It counts. 881 00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,040 Speaker 1: But but I think we can all agree, if you 882 00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:34,840 Speaker 1: can all agree that they all get our flowers. Absolutely. 883 00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:40,360 Speaker 1: Mine is Brett Money Mahr. Because I was such a hater. 884 00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:45,320 Speaker 1: I was such a hater when it first happened. Christy. 885 00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:49,120 Speaker 1: You have to remember everybody was. I was so terrified 886 00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,080 Speaker 1: and what we were gonna see that was hitting people. 887 00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:55,960 Speaker 1: I mean, Brett was not okay. But but to your point, 888 00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,800 Speaker 1: that was my number one concern going into training camps. 889 00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:01,280 Speaker 1: Who's kind of kicks? Yeah? Do you do? You guys 890 00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,760 Speaker 1: remember who the kicker? What the two kickers were Rickie 891 00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:08,280 Speaker 1: Jonathan Garabay from Texas Tech and then Liriam Hira Laho. 892 00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:10,880 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and neither one of them made it halfway 893 00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,200 Speaker 1: through camp. They brought Bret Maher in and once they 894 00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:16,400 Speaker 1: signed Maher and saw the first couple days of him kicking, 895 00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,319 Speaker 1: I'm like, see it. But you have to remember the 896 00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:21,839 Speaker 1: old version of Bret Maher is what was in my 897 00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:25,359 Speaker 1: head when this happened. But I will happily eat crow 898 00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:28,120 Speaker 1: to say good for you, Bret Maher. You've officially transformed 899 00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:30,719 Speaker 1: into a brand new man, a brand new player, and 900 00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:32,880 Speaker 1: I'm just so happy that he's had the season that 901 00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,640 Speaker 1: he has, the success that he's had this season. He 902 00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,320 Speaker 1: deserves it. Good for Bret Maher. That's a great choice. 903 00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:42,719 Speaker 1: I got mine. All right, let's see it's Ron Bland anything, 904 00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:45,920 Speaker 1: because if you don't, I mean he showed us. He 905 00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:47,560 Speaker 1: showed us from the minute he came on the field 906 00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,279 Speaker 1: in preseason. I'll never forget being like who is this guy? 907 00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:53,560 Speaker 1: Everybody's like who is this guy? He's trended up all season. 908 00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,359 Speaker 1: I think his story is inspiring, just being a fifth 909 00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:58,720 Speaker 1: round draft pick and to become a starter, take advantage 910 00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:00,839 Speaker 1: of his opportunity, and I don't know what we would 911 00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,480 Speaker 1: be without him right now. Yeah, the fact that I'm 912 00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:07,160 Speaker 1: panicked they will Bland to be available to go out 913 00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:11,040 Speaker 1: the books, Yeah that was. Yeah, he's become a he's 914 00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:12,920 Speaker 1: become a player, and this for this to be his 915 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,560 Speaker 1: first year, yeah great. Can't wait to see how much 916 00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:18,680 Speaker 1: he grows and his mind grows, and how how much 917 00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:21,719 Speaker 1: better he gets because he has the instincts already. So yeah, 918 00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:26,680 Speaker 1: he's certainly exceeded expectations. That's a great choice. I love that, Ladies. 919 00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:31,040 Speaker 1: Always such a fun time, even despite Cowboys loss. Still 920 00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:33,760 Speaker 1: love being here to talk football with y'all. Cannot believe 921 00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:36,560 Speaker 1: how fastest regular season flew by.
