The look of disappointment probably was. 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:04.760 I couldn't recall, Like I said, I couldn't even recover 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.320 from it because I was so at that point.

It's all good. As long as 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:47.159 it ends up the same way that we had in 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:49.960 the end. That's all that matters. Okay, that's all that matters. 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.120 Stat here, positive stat for Cowboys. 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:52.920 Let's go. 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:56.920 Twenty one. 0:05:57.040 --> 0:06:00.840 The Cowboys are twelve and two following loss, a eight 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:04.599 fifty seven win percentage in weeks following a loss that 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:07.960 is tied with Buffalo for the best overall mark in 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:11.640 the NFL over the last three seasons. You want a dakstat, 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.760 here's a dakstat. He is twenty six and twelve in 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:16.839 his career after a loss. 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:18.760 So those are numbers. 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:22.360 Those are nuggets right there. Mike McCarthy when he's been 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:25.080 with the Cowboys, especially after that first COVID year they 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:27.880 got rid of Mike Nolan, dude's good after loss. Dak 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:31.080 Prescott in his career, he's good after loss. The Cowboys 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:33.640 need to be good. They are not favored in this 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:34.920 football game at all. 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:37.800 Even at home sixteen game home winning street. 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:41.360 Going, that didn't matter. Oh it didn't matter, no way right, 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:47.200 it didn't matter. Come on, I'm sorry. I no needed Cowboys. 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:47.279 In first place. 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:48.200 Yes, one and one. 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:51.479 Here it is Philadelphia one in one, Washington one in one, 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:54.720 nine oh and two on their way to Ohen three 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:56.120 because they got Cincinnati this week. 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:58.360 It's Cincinnati, Cincinnati, oh two. 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:01.560 So yeah, I don't gam, but I tell you that'd 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:04.520 be a I feel real good about Cincinnati this week. 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:10.760 So uh, there you go. We're gonna do the yetti 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:15.080 cool customer, Okay, next seconent for me and. 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:19.200 I'm looking for in this game. They need to not 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:22.400 only start fast because the Cowboys are a front running team. 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.400 Okay, they play well with the lead. 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:28.560 Fact it's right. 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:37.080 The red zone this week has to be a plus 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.200 zero and three last week. I mean the red zone 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:42.800 this week's got to be you get in there four times, 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:44.680 you need to have three. I mean, it has to 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.920 be in a plus margin this week. They cannot afford. 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:50.120 To not be in the positive of the red zone 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:51.480 this week. You simply cannot happen. 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:53.800 You gotta cash in when you get to the reison 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:55.600 because like you said, you got this team has to 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:57.720 start fast, and this team has to get a lead 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:00.240 on the Baltimore Ravens because if you don't, I don't 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:03.080 get a lead, that brings everything that the Baltimore Ravens 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:05.320 love to do into play. They can hand the ball 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:07.920 off to Derrick Henry and milk that clock. That brings 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:12.360 Lamar Jackson's legs into account. When Lamar Jackson plays at 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:14.840 his worst, in my opinion, it's when he's trying to press, 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.840 when he's down maybe ten points, maybe two touchdowns here 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:19.360 and there. That's when he's starting to say, Okay, I 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:20.720 gotta do it all on my own. I got to 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:22.760 make everything happen. And he starts to press and go 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:24.840 after big play after big play after big play. 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:27.160 But if you get that early lead on him and 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:27.960 force him to do that. 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:29.680 If you don't get that early lead, I should say, 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:31.600 then they can play within their offense. 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:32.520 They can get that. 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:34.560 Run on first down, run on second down, get it 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:37.120 a third and five range, and then that brings everything 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:39.400 into play. When you talk about Lamar Jackson being able 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:42.000 to scramble and extend plays you don't want to get 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:45.240 into that type of game with this Baltimore offense out there. 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:47.320 You want to win first and second down and have 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:50.760 them in those longer situations because this man is just 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.439 to me, one of the most dynamic. 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:54.040 Players in football. 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:55.920 When you talk about a guy that can extend the 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.840 play using his legs and picking up a first down 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:01.880 for him with his legs, it's pretty easy in my opinion, 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:04.040 and I'm not so sure we got the pieces on 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:06.920 the defensive side to keep him under wraps in the 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:09.319 entire time. If it's a close game, all right, So 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:11.400 to me, you got to force this guy to beat 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:12.960 you with his arm, and the way to do that 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:15.680 is start fast and get these guys down by at 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:17.720 least two touchdowns to force him to press out there. 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:18.959 If you're able to do that, I think you got 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:21.480 a chance. But the closer this game goes, the longer 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:24.040 it goes that way, it favors more of the hand 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:26.360 of Baltimore in my opinion. Well, one of our topics 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:29.480 yesterday was, you know, Dak helped the defense, and you 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.439 know that that the offense can can be the defense's 0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:35.160 best friend if they're able to have these sustaining drives 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:38.000 and keep Lamar Jackson on the sideline drinking kool aid. 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:40.680 If you're not doing that, he is in there. He's 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:43.160 causing problems and doing exactly what you're talking about, running 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:46.800 for those first downs and just those backbreaking drives that 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:49.880 your defense has done everything that they possibly can do, 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:52.400 and here he is on the third and six, just 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:54.840 you know, scampering out of bounds the worst for a 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:58.360 seven yard game and he I mean, he really does 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:01.040 take teams apart that way. And if you look at 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:04.960 the two games that they've lost, he still has that capability, 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:07.440 but he's still trying to find some of his other weapons. 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.520 His offensive line just doesn't have any continuity whatsoever. So 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:13.840 you're not seeing that Baltimore running game that you used 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:16.520 to see be successful in these first couple of games. 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:18.760 But on the offensive side for the Dallas Cowboys, they 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.000 have so much that it has been left to be desired. 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:23.160 None of the things that you saw from last season 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:26.480 seem to have come back with them this season. Dak 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:29.560 and Ceedee Lamb are misfiring. We saw that several times 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:31.520 in the Saints game. Whereas like there's a wide open 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:34.200 Ceedee Lamb and they're missing one another. And even on 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:37.280 the touchdown pass, it was in double coverage, a guy 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:39.400 missed the tackle and that's how you made that happen. 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:42.480 So this is just one of those games where Neuie 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:46.640 I agree with you. You cannot trade field goals touchdowns 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:48.679 with field goals. In this situation where you're getting down 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:51.600 the red zone, you're bringing out Aubrey, those drives have 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:54.720 to be capped off with scores. But bigger than that, 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:58.199 you have to have that balance on offense or else. 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:02.160 This Baltimore defense is going to absolutely come after you 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:04.319 because what teams have been able to do versus them 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:07.040 now is they found those weaknesses in the back end 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.320 of that defense and they peel that. They pin the 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:12.520 tail on the donkey, whether it's Humphreys the other they 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.280 find a way to get open. And thing is if 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:19.240 you get into a shootout, absolutely that's that's to me 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:22.640 worst case scenario is a shootout. But you do know 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.360 that Baltimore, being a team that has blown some fourth 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:28.520 quarter leads, will give you an opportunity to stay in 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:30.840 this game. So look, I'm just looking at the overall 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:33.360 picture of the game plan that they're coming into it 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:36.480 with this Sunday. But I absolutely know that you have 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:39.080 to have some sustaining drives and you also have to 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:40.160 punch that in with scores. 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:43.960 Does Dallas have the offensive firepower to do a shootout, 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:45.360 to make this a shootout? 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:47.400 Yes, you believe they have? 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:50.000 Then they can do that, all right, because we saw 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:51.400 I mean in the Raiders they did a good job. 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:53.199 You know you had DeVonta Ham's, but they also had 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.280 that second piece, absolutely rock Bowers. 0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:57.679 You know they had. 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:01.120 Ferguson is coming back this He won't be sitting next week. 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.520 I mean this week he sat last week. Ferguson's gonna 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:07.840 come back. I still have faith and cooks. I still do. 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:09.720 I still have faith and cooks, especially with a thirty 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:12.319 second ranked defense out here. You're Mike McCarthy. You've got 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:15.200 to figure out how do we test this thing? CD 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:16.520 Lamb is still he. 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:17.200 Gonna be that guy. 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:22.520 And one day, I don't know when, one day, jaylen 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:27.640 Tobero he made he didn't make one. I give him, he. 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:31.720 Did make one. 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:38.720 One day, My god, that's it. You will McClay will 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:42.520 be sitting up in the booth he did make won't 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:43.000 play out there. 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:45.439 Get so so you know, yes, at some point time 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:47.000 that young man's time is going to come. 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:50.480 But I do believe. First off, it's it's the league man. 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:52.960 At some point in time, everybody gets by to get 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.160 something popped off, especially if you're a good football team, 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:56.120 but not a bad team. 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:59.319 This took a lot of good player. We'll just see 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:01.319 what they get. Correct. They've got to play in front. 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:05.240 That that you want Lamar Jackson to have to throw 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:07.880 the ball. That's that's what you need. That's what you 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:12.120 want playing in front. So if they win the toss, heck. 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:16.760 Take the ball. The ball, Hell yeah, I'm taking the 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:17.480 ball right away. 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:18.360 I do not. 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:20.640 I can't afford to have my defense go out there 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:23.199 and get scored on first drive like they did that 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:25.960 I didn't know. I gotta build some confidence right away. 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.400 I gotta get this offense going. I gotta get it 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:31.760 going at some point, at some point, this thing has 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:34.240 got to be firing and clicking on all cylinders, and 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:37.000 we haven't seen it be that way. What you call 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:38.920 us front runners, I wouldn't don't agree with that, but 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:42.000 we gotta we gotta play with the lead. We gotta 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:43.600 get the ball. We gotta play with the lead and 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:45.840 we can't make it close. And it feels like to 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:49.360 me that strategy hasn't worked best for us when we 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.200 defer to the second half, Because you know, I know them, 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:54.080 I know what the mantra is. If I can do 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:58.080 the split as Bill, not one of them, not Bill parselves, 0:13:58.120 --> 0:13:59.800 but one of the coaches. They would always say, if 0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:01.760 I can score at the end of the half and 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.160 then also score, I could double dip, you know, I 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:07.120 could double And that's and that's and that's one of 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:09.040 the things that coaches always look at. But I'm just 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:11.720 saying for this team and their psyche and at home, 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:14.200 get the crowd involved right away. 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:15.959 Take the ball, go down and score. 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:20.160 I just man, leading in front, Belichick is who I 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:21.120 was trying to Belichick. 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:22.520 Yeah, leading in front. 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:23.560 Front running. 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:25.640 So I got it. Just like the way it sounds 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:27.120 when you say it, dog, it just sounds. 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:28.000 It just sounds. 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.680 But that's your viewpoint, you see. It's all about the viewpoint. 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:33.040 You need to be your advantage of your assassin. 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:33.760 I say it. 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:35.360 I say that as an advantage. You look at it 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:38.280 as an assassin as a put down. It's not a 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:41.080 put down. This is who they are when they put 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:44.760 that pressure on you. It's tough if Dak is out 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:47.240 there dealing with CDE Lamb and they're going and you 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:49.520 have to figure out, how do we make sure these 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:51.560 boys don't get away from us because they've got they 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:54.720 we saw last year especially, they had a lot of firepower. 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:57.160 If they can figure out the weapons a little bit 0:14:57.200 --> 0:15:00.640 better here and in Cleveland, we saw it in the 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:03.080 first half. The second half it wasn't there. But if 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:04.960 you can figure that out, like when Dak beat that 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:07.480 blitz and hit Brandon Cooks, Yeah, get a couple more 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:09.520 of these things like that, You got these long drives, 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:10.880 finish him off in the red zone. 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:11.080 Here. 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:15.160 Now you're talking about a different game because you want 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:17.480 Lamar throwing forty a game like he did that. 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:20.160 First game against Kansas City. All still almost won. But 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:20.760 dog on it. 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.520 That's what I want versus them sitting back here with 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:26.240 it with my defense. That's I don't know if Mazi 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:31.000 Smith is playing, Yeah, Phillip's not gonna be there, No, 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:33.840 who knows what they're gonna line up. 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:37.200 Man, You don't you don't agree, You don't agree with. 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:39.360 Because I still believe the strength of this team is 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:42.360 a defense. Even though they got they got the they 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:45.160 got demolished. They did, I said, they got demolished in 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:47.080 that game. But I still feel like that's the strength 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:48.840 because when you look at it, what game so far 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:52.640 this season has the offense performed? Like defensively, they won 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:54.760 that game in Cleveland. I mean that that was a 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:57.120 defensive game, defensive special team they won that game. Did 0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:59.120 they get Traunston in the same game, of course? But 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:03.000 what game this proof time inconsistency? What game this season 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:07.040 did the offense look good? They scored three touchdowns in 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:09.680 what in two games? Yeah, one of four in the 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:12.440 red zone, ten of twenty seven and third down, Like 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:13.600 we are you trying to get a spark. 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:15.320 We're trying to get these guys heah, let's go. We 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:15.920 can do it. 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:17.120 But you got it. 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:19.680 But what have we seen on tape from this offense 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:21.760 so far this season? That's like, you gotta start off 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:22.920 with your strength. You gotta start off with. 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:25.960 Those guys, right, Yeah, And I'm not even calling his 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:28.400 strength at this point where I'm still trying to find 0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:31.640 identity and at the same time, I'm trying to find 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:34.320 both of those things. And like what I saw last 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:36.720 week was I saw a defense that went out there 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:39.080 and as soon as they got scored on, hands go up. 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:42.800 You know, it was automatically questioning and and you saw 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:44.760 it just kind of the narrative started to just keep 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:48.360 writing itself every each and every drive. God started to 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:53.880 get frustrated. We've talked about Baltimore, that the scander, we 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:56.560 talked about Baltimore. We talked about this offense, and we 0:16:56.720 --> 0:17:00.520 know how punishing Derrick Henry can be. So Derrick Henry 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:03.000 is coming downhill and guys are like even in the 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:06.399 first in that first drive, you're seeing the impact that 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:08.400 Derrek Henry can have on this game. Dude, I think 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:10.000 it would be it would demoralize them. 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:11.000 I really do. 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:13.760 I think inside internally, with the things that you're already 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:16.720 talking about, you're gonna be missing uh Phillips. You're gonna 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:19.320 be missing Mazi. I don't know if Mozzi's playing and not. 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:21.440 There's still questions that are out there, but you're gonna 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:23.280 be short staffed. You're bringing in a guy in Carlos 0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:25.840 Watkins that you don't you don't there's a big question 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:28.119 mark right there and how that's going to operate. But 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:30.800 the one thing that you do know, you have the 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:33.320 the guy an m v p uh. 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:36.160 Second front with not front Runner second place. 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:46.159 From gotta We got a quarterback in Dak Prescott that 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:48.280 you believe if he could get it going, if he 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:51.320 could get it going, and he and he has the ability, 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:54.600 it has the weapons. We we believe if this offense 0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:56.480 can get going, especially this running game that you need 0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:58.879 to see more from man, I think it'll do. It 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:01.600 will do more for this for the Cowboys and their confidence. 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:04.320 This leads us into the first break. 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:07.880 It will come back front run for the last time. 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:10.880 EDI Cool, It's done. 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:14.240 Heck Maherrison, Bary Church and Lewis Scruggs players Lambs.
