1
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Are you ready for

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: a break? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely ready

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: for a break. Yeah, and so much for that. It's

5
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:21,799
Speaker 1: time for the break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com with

6
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton.

7
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 1: How about them Cowboys? Wow? The Cowboys beating the Saints

8
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: thirteen ten. Although the scar doesn't seem too appealing, it

9
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: was a huge win by the defense, who was able

10
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: to hold Drew Brees two ten points, just ten points,

11
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: the highest scoring offense in the NFL and they only

12
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: got ten points. So I wanted to start off your

13
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: first reaction of what this defense was able to do

14
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: last night and what we witness. I mean, it was shocking.

15
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 1: I mean we talked about before, you know, about being

16
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: surprised and shocked and all that. It was everything. I mean.

17
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's everyone, um was shocked the

18
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: way the Cowboys defense played. I mean, they've moved to

19
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: another level in this game. Um. And I know that, Derek,

20
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: that's something you've talked about, but I mean they I

21
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: just didn't give them enough credit. There's no way that

22
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: they that they could do that. I didn't think that

23
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 1: they were good enough to something's gonna have to give.

24
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: The cowboy was going to score more than they're used to,

25
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: or the defense was gonna have to just completely shut

26
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: down the best offense in the league. And they did so.

27
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: Like I said, they're on another level. Now I gotta

28
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: raise the energy level here for a second. Holy crap,

29
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: are you kidding me? Are you get here? Absolutely for

30
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: real right now? Like that's really that's my That's my

31
00:01:52,360 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: impression night, been my impression since probably Jordan Lewis interception

32
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: because I was standing behind the goal post on the

33
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: field saying, this is how it happens. The offense didn't

34
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: do their part, and now Drew Brees is going to

35
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: drive down the field and break their hearts and win

36
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: seventeen to thirteen or whatever, yeah, sixteen thirty, I don't

37
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: know whatever. Drew Brees was gonna drive down there and

38
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: bail the Saints out, and it was going to be terrible,

39
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: and it was gonna be the tough luck, loser defense thing,

40
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: and we were gonna have to go into that locker

41
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: room and listen to them just be heartbroken. And then

42
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: they did that ten points, ten points, one hundred and

43
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: seventy six yards, the lowest output that the Sean Payton

44
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: Saints have ever put out. Super Bowl winning team teams

45
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: the eleven twelve wins year in year out, always the

46
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: best in the league. That is one of the most

47
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: amazing things I've ever seen in a football game. Yep, sorry,

48
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: it's so perfect. That's exactly right. Literally, always Dave that

49
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: just that, you know, takes us to another energy level.

50
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: But it had to be done. Like I don't like,

51
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: I just watched LSU and seven overtimes, seven overtimes. It's

52
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: not as amazing as holding that team to ten points,

53
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: no doubt about ten points one touchdown. Yep. Thursday were

54
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: averaging thirty seven points a game. And they never drove

55
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,399
Speaker 1: the ball on them, No, not at once. At one

56
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: time did they take the ball and really drive it

57
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: and just beat the Cowboys down. The Cowboys basically handed

58
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: them that drive. Yep. If if they you heard this

59
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: in the locker room throughout the game, if the offense

60
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: even plays marginally better, it is a emphatic win. Think

61
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: about thinking, I mean, you had seven sacks, Zeke didn't

62
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: get to a hundred yards. If we would have talked

63
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: about a Friday, we would have said, Okay, I'm gonna

64
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: lay this out for you. Ze's gonna be somewhere around

65
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: seventy five yards and they're gonna give up seventy five

66
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: I mean they're gonna go seven sacks. We would have

67
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: all immediately been like, they're gonna get blasted. Like that

68
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: means they got blasted. If Zeke's not running well and

69
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: they're given up sacks, that means they got blasted. And

70
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: that shows you just how lead the defense was. Like

71
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: this was a whole different level of defense. I always

72
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: thought this defense was good. This year, this was on

73
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: another plane of defensive play. Like this is like we

74
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: talked about, Okay, now you called it it is elite game,

75
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: So now you feel confident about calling this defense an

76
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: elite defense. Last night I called their effort last night elite. Now,

77
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: when you start talking about elite defenses, they do it

78
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: for a season or more. I don't know if the

79
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys have been elite all season. What I know was

80
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: last night was an elite effort. And you and I

81
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: were having this debate, you were like, because I was saying,

82
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 1: at that moment, when Dave was questioning whether how Breeze

83
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: was gonna get the ball whatever, and I said, if

84
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: they can't stop them right now, this is not at

85
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: an elite defensive performance, because elite means not only do

86
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: you play well throughout the game, but you gotta finish.

87
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: And this defense really for a few years, I think

88
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: has been good enough to where they keep their team

89
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: in games sometimes and that kind of stuff. But when

90
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: it comes down to that final drive and you got

91
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers on the other side, or you got you know,

92
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: you name the good quarterback, they just can't win the game.

93
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: Last night, they finished it. Not only they finished, they

94
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: finished it by taking the ball from him. And that,

95
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: to me is where you look at teams going from

96
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: being good defenses to being elite defenses. Starting in twenty fifteen,

97
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: I would describe this defense as like sneaky good. Yeah,

98
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: like they don't give up touchdowns and you know you

99
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: can win, you can. They won't lose you games. They

100
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: just won you a game against Arguably the NFL is

101
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: the best team I've never seen a Cowboys team where

102
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: the offense basically no showed and they won against a

103
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: good team. I mean, you know, beat you beat the

104
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns, the old Cleveland Browns. That's one thing, right,

105
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: beating this team basically getting next to no help from

106
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: your offense after the first quarter. It's amazing, you know.

107
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: It is on the Saints break right now that they're

108
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: talking about. I mean, it was a bad performance for

109
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: their offense, but I'm telling you this that that right

110
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: there is probably your favorite to win the whole thing

111
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: in my opinion. But yeah, still yeah, because because that defense.

112
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: I didn't give him enough credit. I really didn't. They

113
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: run the you know, the number one run def agreed,

114
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: their defense was really good too, So I mean, and

115
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 1: was Cam Jordan that said it, which puts you know

116
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: that it's it's actually complimentary for the Cowboys. He said, Oh,

117
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: that's cool. Maybe we'll see him again in New or

118
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: want to. I wish them the best because I want

119
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: to play him again. Yeah, I would too if that

120
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: was him. Now, I'll say this, um number seventy seven

121
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: is going to probably be there in that game a

122
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: little different that that is so impressive that this offensive

123
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: line and I'm not going to call him three backups.

124
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 1: I don't like that anymore. Because Connor Williams is healthy

125
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: he's not starting over. Was not healthy in that game,

126
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it. He had a he had

127
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: a tough night on that ankle. But they will get healthy.

128
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: That's what's so impressive is that they were able to

129
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: win a game like this. It will sloppy at time,

130
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: especially on offense, you know, and Dak twenty four, twenty eight.

131
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: Everyone's talking about one incomplete past there, which is a

132
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: big play. I mean, it's one that he needs to make.

133
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: But man, I mean, I just thought with his offensive

134
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,119
Speaker 1: line when you think about it, to beat the Saints

135
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: the way they did and did now to get ten

136
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: days off, you know, the number ten has been thrown

137
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,239
Speaker 1: out a lot here lately. You know, ten game winning streak,

138
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: ten points by the Saints. Now ten days off. To

139
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: get better than that performance, that's impressive and get those

140
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: guys back that you that you just coverage seventy seven

141
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: fish on Lee speaking of ten, maybe ten, ten maybe ten.

142
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: I saw him running around last night. He's been dancing around.

143
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: He saw him run so and he seems good, and

144
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: I think that that will help all that help mean energy,

145
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: the energy that he has and the energy that he

146
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: would bring onto the field. That would be an amazing

147
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: addition to have back. I've never I've said this a

148
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: half dozen times since like yesterday, so forgive me, or

149
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: even in the last couple of weeks. I just I've

150
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: never had less of an idea about a team at

151
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: this stage in the season, like you, like, by by December,

152
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: which is basically December, you pretty much know if the

153
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: teams are you still there or are you saying this

154
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: was before this game? Just I've never seen a swing

155
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: like this well, I mean no, I mean yes, I'm

156
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: i this is amazing, Like, this is such an amazing

157
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: performance that you have to take them seriously. You've seen

158
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: swings like this before, though, I mean no, Okay, go

159
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: back maybe the one that jumped in my mind and

160
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: the one job I'm not talking about Cowboys, I'm talking

161
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: about around lad I'm talking about the Dallas Okay. I

162
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: Usually by December you're like, this team is not very

163
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: good or this team is really good, and then you

164
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: come you know, you come out here on Thursdayay of football.

165
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: They're supposed to lose to the Saints and you're the

166
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: only one that picked them. Congaculations, and then and then

167
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 1: they do that, and I mean they only won by

168
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: three points. I get it, but they looked dominant, at

169
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: least on the defensive side of the ball. And anybody

170
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: that watched that game, which is the highest rated Thursday

171
00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: night football game ever, so everybody history ever, So everybody

172
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: he watched it, and so even the most but even

173
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: the biggest cowboy hater in the world has to acknowledge

174
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: that this team, Well, did he just something to be reckoned?

175
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: Did he? This morning? I don't know who that is.

176
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: It's ESPN guy. I don't pay attention to that. I

177
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: don't either. It's all it's all stick just wanted pro

178
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 1: wrestling for football. But also, let's say I'm talking about

179
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: the picks. I mean, it just feels like the elephant

180
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: in the room. And that's why you were freaking out

181
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: on the siline this. I've never seen you like that before.

182
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: I was freaking out of the press box. You did

183
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: have to be like, are you the one? Are you

184
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: the one that pounded on the table when miss gallup? RP?

185
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: I mean, actually, p R that's what I mean saying No,

186
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: that was not me, No, that that moment was not

187
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: p But I was getting a little loud, like I

188
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: was getting a little loud. At one point, Nick was

189
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: kind of like, dude, Mickey Junior, and I'm just saying,

190
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: which is funny that me telling anyone dialogue Just so

191
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: you guys know, there's no cheering in the press box.

192
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: That's why we're talking there. But anyways, let's talk about

193
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: most people you pick the Cowboys, and you did. You

194
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: picked them a lot this year. But what there was

195
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: some game that you said though, that was that that

196
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: really played out here. You talked about this football team

197
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 1: is six and five on paper, but this team, this

198
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: team that is playing here, is not a six and

199
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: five team. It's playing at a different level. Vander esh

200
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: just taking them to another level. Dlass take them. Cooper

201
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: has taken the offense all rolled into one too. This

202
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: team is better and which is kind of what you said.

203
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: It's like, it's hard to say, are they seven and five?

204
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: This is a four and one team? Yeah? I mean,

205
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: is there any who else has won four in a row?

206
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: I was thinking, are they highest team? Houston one? No? Actually,

207
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: I literally you know, I had this dumb idea. I

208
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: was like, are the is this the two longest winning

209
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: streets in the NFL right now? It's it's not closets seven,

210
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: Houston's won eight, Chicago's won five. I think Minnesota's won

211
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: a few in a row. I believe like there's there's

212
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: a few. There's a few like that. There's a few. Yeah, well,

213
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: I mean it's still that doesn't diminish four wins in

214
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: a row and they play. They played five games in

215
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: the month of November one four of them, which the

216
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: fact that they've looked as good as they have makes

217
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Laws even more perplexing. But whatever it was.

218
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: A month ago, wrote a quick story about they already

219
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: named vander Es the defensive Rookie of the Month and

220
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 1: for November with one game to play, it was kind

221
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: of like, well, you know, it's Thursday game, as someone's

222
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 1: got to do it. And you know, I thought, man,

223
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: I wonder if this is gonna like jinx him, you

224
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: know what I mean? No, not at all. And I

225
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: love the wolf Hunter Howling. I love the Wolf Hunter.

226
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: Now that they're doing that in the stadium, that's awesome.

227
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: He um, he's not the leader of that group. We

228
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: can talk about what d Law said and that was unbelievable.

229
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: It basically a script writer. But vander esh is the

230
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: best defensive player on the team in my opinion, do

231
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: y'all y'all agree with that? Is my opinion. I honestly

232
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: still think player. But you're I don't think you're crazy

233
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 1: like I don't agree. I mean, well as a leader obviously, DeMarcus,

234
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: but as of right now, I would say for sure,

235
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: Vander Okay, so let me ask you this. You go ahead,

236
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: I mean it was your tweet. So which one the

237
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: one about DeMarcus is with that line? Oh? Yeah, No,

238
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean so far the season he let's

239
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: give him. I mean, he makes the fourth down stop

240
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: on a goal line stand that keeps the Saint Sad

241
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: of the end zone. He had four tackles, a sack,

242
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: and a forced fumble, and should have had another sack

243
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: and another forced fumble if not for a bogus off

244
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: side call. So he played himself a pretty damn good game.

245
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: He's And the thing about it is, to me, what

246
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: makes him so much better than even the stats is

247
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: what he does for everybody else. He makes everybody else

248
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: on that defense because guess what going into every game,

249
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: every offense is he's the guy we gotta worry about.

250
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: And in spite of that, he still puts up numbers

251
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: like that and manages to take a double team and

252
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: manages to give these other guys the leadership they need

253
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: in order to be the best versions of themselves they

254
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: can be. I just don't I don't think Vanderesh is

255
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: there yet from the standpoint of making everybody else better.

256
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: He's a great player, I don't think he's making everybody

257
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: else better when you had everything else like that off

258
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: the field stuff and the energy and the leadership. For sure,

259
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: hands down DeMarcus Lawrence. But I'm saying, like specifically playing

260
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: on the field without being aware of those untangible things.

261
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: Vanders He's been all over the field. You see him

262
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: everywhere on the press box. All I hear is La

263
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: Vendors made the tackle that probably I was about to say,

264
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 1: it's a different he's a different name every time, but

265
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: go ahead on DeMarcus Lawrence went down the line on

266
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 1: that fourth and one and made and made the tackle.

267
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: But most of the time, when you the defensive end

268
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: goes and makes that play, it's because the running back,

269
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: you know, the quickest running back in the league, didn't

270
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: get there. So I went I actually looked at that play.

271
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: I saw it a couple of times. Crawford, by the way,

272
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: Tyron Crawford to me, Keim and Looney to be of

273
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: the most underrated players on this team right now. Of

274
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 1: course they didn't give up seven sacks, so I would say,

275
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: right now, Crawford at the league but a little bit.

276
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: But you know who else was kind of stuff to

277
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: run on that play? Vander Esh I mean, he's right

278
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: there too, so he's a freak. And then quiet, not

279
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: quietly because he swipes every play, but fifty four if

280
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: he's your third best guy right now, like he makes

281
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: it well known that he made a play about that

282
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: guy as quiet, I say that admiration in my voice.

283
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: But then you know you're talking about the defensive line

284
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: and the linebackers. Six pass deflections. You were counting an

285
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: all game long those four in the first two series,

286
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: and by the way, they were both three and out,

287
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: so in six plays they had four pass deflections. Drew

288
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: Brees has been playing pro football since most of these

289
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: guys were in middle school, and he had never started

290
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: a game owing four in his entire career. Yep, and

291
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: think about this. We talked about this last week about

292
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: how the Saints play offense and how breeze. He doesn't

293
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: need separation. He's one of those quarterbacks that just puts

294
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: the ball right on the money and typically defenders can't

295
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: get tight enough coverage to be able to make affect

296
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: the play. That was exactly what they did last night.

297
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: The only difference was the Cowboys defensive backs were on it.

298
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: Like when I mean they were on it. They were

299
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: right on those receivers hips and they were able to

300
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: knock the balls down. That was the difference because in

301
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: most games, he completes a lot of those passes that

302
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: they ended up knocking down. To me, those defensive backs.

303
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: We can talk as much we want about vander esh

304
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: and about and about Tank, but to me, the MVPs

305
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: of that defense last night were the secondary. I think

306
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: those guys played a phenomenal game. Anthony Brown gave up

307
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: a thirty yard touchdown and I don't even care pushed

308
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: off but but well yeah, yeah, I mean like he

309
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: played it. He had a sack, he had two pass

310
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: for like, he played fantastic touchdown and be damned that

311
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: they all did. I believe that they did not call

312
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: a holding on Lawrence. I mean Lawrence was getting oh

313
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: he got tackle hug to the ground, and I'm like, well,

314
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: this is coming back. You know that's not in a

315
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: poorly officiated game. And I'm sure the Saints on both sides,

316
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: the Saints fans probably say the same thing, and they'll

317
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: be right. I mean, I thought there were some really

318
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: bad calls. And it's not college football, because if it

319
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: was Jalen Smith wasn't going to play the rest of

320
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: that game and probably wouldn't play next week if it

321
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: was he hit. There is no targeting call in the NFL, correct,

322
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: because it's targeting, is there? Because I kept every here

323
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: and everybody talk about that should have been targeting. But

324
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: I didn't think there was an actual targeting call. I

325
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: thought there was a personal file of launching yourself out

326
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: at a pump, but I didn't think there was like

327
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: targeting a targeting call. Don't put me on the spot.

328
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: I think I think there is now, but it's escaping me,

329
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: but not one that is like reviewable like this in college.

330
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: And then and they so they don't get into the

331
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: next game. They missed, They missed the hit on Jalen

332
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: should have been a flag. They missed the face mask

333
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: on Dak Randy Gregory, like that offside on that, like,

334
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: are you absolutely kidding with me right now? Like that?

335
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: And by the way, there were a number of plays

336
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: earlier in the game where I thought it should have

337
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: been a false start on on New Orleans. You and

338
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: I talked about it, Like one play Kamar took off running.

339
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: That's why the Prey even got a trend for this

340
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: entire season across the NFL. Is these guys moving early. Yeah,

341
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: it's very starting to look like Canadian football out there. Seriously,

342
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: these guys are like, like really quick. I mean, I

343
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: don't know, and it seems like that's within the rules

344
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 1: to do it, and some teams are taking advantage on him.

345
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: But that guy's as quick as anything. He doesn't need

346
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: any more of a head start. I can't you know.

347
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: I'll say this too great hit on that third down

348
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: play by um Jalen Smith, But Byron Jones made that play.

349
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: It's just Byron Jones and Kamara. I mean a lot

350
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: of guys don't even get a hand on him, and

351
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: he slowed him up just enough for Jalen to come

352
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: over there. I thought that was a huge play by

353
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: Byron Jones. I agree, a huge play by Jalen Smith, though,

354
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,719
Speaker 1: I mean like Kamara got free from the tackle, and

355
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: it seemed like he had enough scheme that you would expect.

356
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 1: But it's most players. He's gonna clamor his way into

357
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: the end zone. And when Jalen Smith hits you, you

358
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 1: just stopped. We've seen the first time he gets out

359
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: there outside, it's almost like a train. Just run somebody over.

360
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: The next stops. Then next time a ball carrier falls

361
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: forward against Jalen Smith will be the first time. Right,

362
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 1: it's on Annie. This defense indeed choked them out and

363
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 1: they give them in the mouth. So everything, let's take

364
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: our first break when we come back. Let's move on

365
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: into the Cowboys offense and what they were able to

366
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: do and what they didn't do. All Right, you're like

367
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 1: me and you love. I mean, if you have a

368
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,239
Speaker 1: part thing, then cutting the chord is scary. But then

369
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,119

407
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: This is the second segment of the Break. Now we're

408
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: gonna discuss that Prescott's performance last night. He completed twenty

409
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: four out of twenty eight attempts total two hundred forty

410
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 1: eight yards with the quarterback rating of one hundred fifteen

411
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 1: point five. It was great. Who would have thought, especially

412
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: when you compare it to what Drew Brees was unable

413
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: to do. Yeah, I thought he played a really, really

414
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 1: good football game. And I know that you know he's

415
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: not perfect, and he's gonna mispasses and his accuracy is

416
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: you know, an is year at times. But twenty four

417
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 1: of twenty eight, I thought he did what he needed

418
00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: to do. And you know what's not in that stat

419
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: line there is that ten yard run or eleven yard

420
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,719
Speaker 1: run on third and ten when he was basically like,

421
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: you're not bringing me down, and that was cute. That's

422
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: the type of play that we're like, you know, I know,

423
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: we compare him or I do, at least to Cam

424
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: Newton that style. And then he was coming and he

425
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: came back and listed a deep ball that should have

426
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: been a touchdown that was very Cam Newton like in

427
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 1: that game. But just to run over that defense and

428
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: say I'm getting this first down. That's two weeks in

429
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: a row that he's made a play with his legs.

430
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: You know, I thought he played really really well in

431
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: You're right, he was. He was better than Drew Brees

432
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: and that game. And you know, actually, the thing about

433
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 1: him as a runner, I always people always when people

434
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: talk about him as a running quarterback, I always cost

435
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: him like he's not really a running quarterback because he

436
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: doesn't really make people miss. He doesn't really have elusive

437
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: kind of speed. None of that. But last night when

438
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: we saw it reminds me and I know again I

439
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: got on my Texas gear. That reminded me of what

440
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: Ellinger brings to the Longhorns. He didn't have to be elusive, ritty.

441
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 1: He's that guy that's gritty, and because Dak has that

442
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: kind of body, he's he's a bigger guy. He could

443
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,959
Speaker 1: break tackles and that's what he did last night when

444
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: he made that run. There were two guys that should

445
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: have tackled him and he just wasn't going down. And

446
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: that's where if he can do that consistently without getting hurt,

447
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 1: by the way, that's where he can provide a great

448
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: value for this team as a running quarterback. Oh sorry,

449
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say again, not being effected after

450
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: getting sacked seven times throughout the game, his ability to

451
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: get back on his feed and keep going. Also, we

452
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: saw one of those plays where he attempted to make

453
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: a run and he just hesitated, waited a little too long,

454
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: and then got his sack. The fact that he puts

455
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 1: that behind and he's able to move on from that

456
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 1: and again attempt and not be scared to go for

457
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: it and run. That's amazing. They're seven or fourteen on

458
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: third down fifty I gotta run the numbers. But like

459
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: they're so much better on third down since they got

460
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: Cooper four of the seven or direct result of dak

461
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: he hit Jarwin on a third, he hit Cooper on

462
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: a third, and he hit Beasley on a third stretch

463
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: over the line. Then he you know, big big boy

464
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 1: Daddy run for twelve yards like he is clutch, and yeah,

465
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,959
Speaker 1: I mean to continue to perform that way when he's

466
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: getting the hell knocked out of him. Absolutely, you're right.

467
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 1: The miss on gallop, he just looms so large in

468
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,479
Speaker 1: my mind because you can put the game away and

469
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: then ball security has got to be better. It's been

470
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: a thing for him all year to the point where

471
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: like I'm like, do you need to wear gloves? Like

472
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 1: are your hands sweaty? What's going on here? I mean,

473
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: you know again, and that's what I said at the

474
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: top of the show, is like he fumbles, you don't

475
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: even get a field goal, so the Saints don't even

476
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 1: need to score a touchdown to potentially tie that game.

477
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: And I just I would have bet my whole savings

478
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: account that you know, it was going to be like

479
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers all over again, and Drew Brees is going

480
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: to lead them down to either send it to overtime

481
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: or win the game. And it's a testament to the

482
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: defense that he didn't. But those two plays, you know,

483
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: as clutch as he is, and you can clearly win

484
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 1: games with him, gotta be more accurate in situations like that.

485
00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: And you can't put the ball in the turn. I mean,

486
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: he's probably fumbled like ten times this year, if I

487
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: had to guess, and you know, they've gotten fortunate that

488
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: a lot of them haven't gotten away from him, but

489
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: that one did and it could have been huge. One

490
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: for five in the red zone also is just putred.

491
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: I don't know. I assume the kneel down on the

492
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: one counts for that. So really it's one of four

493
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 1: yeah right, yeah, but still yeah, you know, twenty five

494
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: percent in the red zones not beating a lot of teams,

495
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: you know, And I know Jason gets gets tucked about

496
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: with his management. You know, when you look at this game,

497
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 1: I think anybody we've seen him so many times, anyone

498
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: other than Drew Brees and Braby, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady,

499
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: I don't think they would have been throwing the ball

500
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: like that, you know, to try to make sure and

501
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: try to get a touchdown there. I think that we've

502
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: seen before run the ball was run the ball, get

503
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 1: that field goal, go up by six. But I mean

504
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 1: it was pretty adamant, Like even as great as the

505
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: defense played, I don't think that even Jason Garrett, they

506
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: didn't want Drew Brees to have the football again. So

507
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: that's why he was even throwing it. I mean, didn't

508
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: already give it up six sacks. I didn't like those

509
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: calls down there like that. I mean because the way

510
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,239
Speaker 1: Zeke had already been running on that drive, you know,

511
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: being patient and then popping out, he could have maybe

512
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: gotten a first down. So I didn't like putting the

513
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: ball in his hands there. But you could tell just

514
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 1: the thought that they had about not one and Drew

515
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: Brees to get that ball again. I actually and I

516
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: didn't mind the calls at all. I think I tweeted

517
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: from the sideline, I was like, one of these needs

518
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: to be a run because you want the Saints to

519
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: either burn their time out or burn some clock. But

520
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: then I think you need to throw the ball and

521
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: give yourself a chance to go up two scores here,

522
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,479
Speaker 1: because again, you know, again, that's what makes it so amazing,

523
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: is that's the way the NFL works. If you don't

524
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 1: cash in on that opportunity, when you're playing a quarterback

525
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: like that, eight out of ten times you're getting beat.

526
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 1: Like that's it's such a quarterback friendly league. These guys

527
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: are so good, and that's I was like, it's deja vu,

528
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: like we're just we're gonna threw Brees is gonna beat

529
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: him at the buzzer and the fact that he didn't

530
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 1: in spite of that, I just I can't say enough

531
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 1: about how the defense got them out of that situation.

532
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: And you know, we talked about two to go. I mean,

533
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: it's it's really it's a perfect time to throw the

534
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: same throughout a timeouse but you got the two minute warning.

535
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: It was a perfect time to throw that ball, and

536
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: he threw it out of the you know, out of bounce.

537
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 1: But it was interference, and that really won the game.

538
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: With Mark Cooper getting that past interference call I never got.

539
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 1: I assume it was a good call. I didn't even

540
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: see it. I haven't seen it either, but I just

541
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: I thought it was fitting way for that game to

542
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: end that you know, it's a flag that kind of

543
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: settles it, which, like I said, I assume it was

544
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,360
Speaker 1: a good call, but I didn't get a good look

545
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: at it. Yeah. Yeah, a lot of flags in that game. Well,

546
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: clearly the Cowboys are still struggling to score more than

547
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 1: six points at a time and still settling for certain

548
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: field goals. Now, with the way that the defense played,

549
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: are you feeling comfortable with the Cowboys just making it

550
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 1: by the way they play last night or not last night?

551
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: Because I was really special the way the defense played,

552
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: but just having them being carried by their defense instead

553
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 1: of now relying on the running game and what the

554
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: old line can do. I think I kind of agree

555
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 1: with Nick. I think that was a bit of an

556
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: admiration from of the with the offense. From the standpoint

557
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: that I think that defense they played last night is

558
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: really good. Um, you look at they've been holding teams

559
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: to They've held Eagles to seven points. The game before that,

560
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: who the hell to a score twenty huh the Eagles

561
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: scored twins. I think about wait, no, no, he's talking

562
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: about the Saints. I'm sorry, So I'm sorry. And the

563
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: game before that, they held somebody to a low score

564
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: account as well the Beals. Yeah so, but the point is,

565
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: like this defense over the last couple of weeks, you

566
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:33,719
Speaker 1: want to talk about the Cowboys being somewhat of a

567
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: different team. Their defense has been playing really really well

568
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 1: lately and been holding teams to really low number of points.

569
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 1: So it doesn't shock me that the Cowboys offense had

570
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 1: the kind of problems they did. I don't expect now

571
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 1: if the Cowboys go next Sunday and they play the

572
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles, whose secondary is completely just just beat up,

573
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 1: and they still can't score more than thirteen points, now,

574
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: I think there's a problem. But what we've seen in

575
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: these last few weeks since they've added them right Cooper,

576
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: is this offense actually can score a good number of points.

577
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: They've been in the upper twenties. So I think when

578
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: you combine that with the defense, I think what we're

579
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: starting to see now is what a team really should be,

580
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: which is it will be some weeks when the offense

581
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: doesn't have it and the defense is gonna have to

582
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 1: play out of its mind. They'll the other weeks when

583
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: the offense play is really good and the defense can

584
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: just manage the game. And if they can just play

585
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: well like they do most of the time, that'll be

586
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 1: sufficient for them to win. That's a good team. I

587
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: don't think you're gonna win a lot of games asking

588
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: your defense to do that on a regular basis, but

589
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the ultimate team game, right And even

590
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: with that thirteen spot during this four game winning streak,

591
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: they're averaging twenty three points per game, which isn't great,

592
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: but when your defense is good, it's enough. And yeah,

593
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: I mean twenty seven against Philly, twenty two against Atlanta,

594
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: thirty one against Washington. You can absolutely when you're giving

595
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: up The defense is averaging giving up eight eighteen six

596
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: on the season, so you just scoring twenty three and

597
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: you're giving up eighteen, which yes, work out. They can't

598
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: make it a habit of being as lackluster on offense

599
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: as they were last night, but it's so encouraging. That's

600
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: That's what's so amazing is thirteen points gets you beat

601
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL more often than not. And it didn't.

602
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: And then this wasn't ten to six against the crappy

603
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: Bucks in twenty fifteen. This was the Saints, which it's

604
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: amazing different. I mean, you look at the four game

605
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,959
Speaker 1: winning streak, and as great as that sounds, and it

606
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: has been very good for this team, but you know,

607
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: they they've won by a total of twenty one points.

608
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: You know, and you look at the Saints that had

609
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: won a game by forty one against the Eagles and

610
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: thirty eight and all that, So there's the margin. Fair

611
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: was very slim. That's okay, that's okay if you're gonna

612
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: if you're gonna win the game, so as you're winning.

613
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: As long as you're winning. These fans right here that

614
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: are walking through this tour, they don't care. They don't

615
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: care if it was thirteen to ten or whatever. It's

616
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: a win. Maybe I'm you know, I'm maybe I'm too

617
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: close to it, but I've watched a ton of football

618
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: pro and co. That's the most riveting game with twenty

619
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: three combined points that I've ever seen. Like yeah, I mean,

620
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: it didn't feel like a low scoring game to me.

621
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: I can appreciate defensive football, but like you know that

622
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: overly defensive football usually is like watching paint dry. And

623
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: that was I was riveted. You want to know why

624
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: why I think that is for last night's game is

625
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: because and I have a friend of mine came into

626
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: town and she went to the game with my wife,

627
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: and we were talking last night when I got in

628
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: and she was like, I just I just kept assuming, Okay,

629
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: well here's where the Saints they're gonna take off. And

630
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: so I think the whole is probably like, well, eventually, yeah,

631
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,719
Speaker 1: eventually it's the Saint and that and that started to

632
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: play out, like in the third quarter, they go down,

633
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: they get a field goal, they you know, a long

634
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: touchdown right down the numbers, you know, and maybe you

635
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: go maybe it was a push off, but they score

636
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: from thirty yards out and it's like, yep, here they come,

637
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: here we go. Offense didn't do enough, I mean, which

638
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,040
Speaker 1: fans love to do this. But throughout the night, like

639
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: starting in the second quarter, people are like, that's ball

640
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: game because you know, the Saints are gonna get on

641
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: their role. It's over. The Cowboys are gonna lose their

642
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,959
Speaker 1: up thirteen nothing, It's like, that's a game over, you know,

643
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: I do the five players, don't forget about I thought

644
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: the biggest play of the game to me, and it

645
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: was in that group was an eight yards sacked by

646
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown because they had just had that penalty of

647
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: Gregory being off sides and they were gonna get the

648
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: ball at the thirty five. Finally got the turnover they've

649
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: been waiting for and switching the momentum back and then

650
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: the off sides and then first down, so it's not

651
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 1: the first down midfield are about to get in field

652
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: goal range and eight yards sack off the edge. Great

653
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,239
Speaker 1: call by Marionelli in the defense to get that, and

654
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: then then they never even got they had to punt.

655
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: And then that punt that was one inch over the line.

656
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: That was a huge play too, because if the Cowboys

657
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: were on the one inch line, they're not driving it y,

658
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: They're not doing that and taking off eight minutes the

659
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: way they did. So I thought that those two plays

660
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: in a row, that sack and then that punt, it's

661
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: great call. Yeah, those were huge, huge play. Anthony Brown

662
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: two weeks in a row has had a sack and

663
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: he's making some really big plays. Sucks for Tyrone because

664
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: he's he's having the best season of his career, but

665
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: I feel like he hasn't gotten to have a moment,

666
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, well, I mean, I know he's got

667
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: like five sacks, but like he hasn't had a moment,

668
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: and that would have been a big moment. Yeah, what

669
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: he had the sack or he didn't have. No, I'm

670
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: saying the recovery on he recovered the fumble. Yeah, the

671
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: d law sack on the off side call, Yeah, ty

672
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: like it squirted out behind and I know I I

673
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: just walked off. I saw it, got frustrated and just

674
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: got up and left, like I didn't know if he

675
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: had to go to restaurom. I don't want to say

676
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: what I did him thinking. I didn't walk off and

677
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: I saw and I saw Amber actually coming out of

678
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: the restaurant. You didn't even see that play that we're

679
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: talking about with Gregory. He seen the highlights or something.

680
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: When I was walking back to my seat, I heard it.

681
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: I just heard the call, but I I didn't know

682
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,959
Speaker 1: how significant it was because it wasn't just a fumble.

683
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,719
Speaker 1: The ball got kicked like that. Yeah, and that's how

684
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: Tyrone eventually wound up with it. Randy's Randy's pinky finger

685
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: nail was on the in the neutral zone. I guess,

686
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, that's how much the Saints guys

687
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: Yale was on that, Yeah, you know, and that's about

688
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: how close Samar was or recovering his own fumble. I mean,

689
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: he was laying on top of it. It didn't know where.

690
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: It was like we did an episode of cover for

691
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: this morning and I point I was like, you tell

692
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: me that Amari Cooper loses a fumble on the Cowboys

693
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: side of the field in a game where the Cowboys

694
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: only scored thirteen points against the Saints. I'm like, Okay,

695
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: so they lost and Amari Cooper's the goat and we're

696
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: gonna be talking about this all week, and like I

697
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: forgot it happened. Hey, we haven't mentioned him yet. But

698
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: Michael Gallop to start the game, I mean I thought

699
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: he was about to have one of those nights and

700
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: then it was just kind of like with the rest

701
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: of the offense, he should have had one of those nights.

702
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, and if he had that touchdown, that would

703
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: have been the capra on that case. He's still that

704
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: was the best game of his career. It's it was

705
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: quiet because he stopped catching the ball after the first quarter.

706
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: But what he had seventy three right, three catches, four catches.

707
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 1: It's five catches on seven targets for seventy six yards,

708
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: and it's good night. If Dak hits him on that one,

709
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: then it's six catches for like what one hundred and

710
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: twenty something and a touchdown. He's given him a deep threat.

711
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 1: You gotta love the youth and where they have the

712
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,720
Speaker 1: youth on this team, Like think about him and Amari Cooper.

713
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: I mean you can just you can go through the

714
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: team and look at guys like they got these just

715
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: it's it's almost like they're building. I guess they are,

716
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: but it's they're building this young nucleus and you got

717
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,919
Speaker 1: these two linebackers, and you got these two cornerbacks, really

718
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: three cornerbacks, and you got really four cornerbacks. I mean

719
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: they got It's just like they are building something here

720
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 1: that could be really good. And that's the rough thing

721
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 1: about that is the NFL changes on a dime, So

722
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: what you think right now can change drastically next year

723
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: and the year after. But they certainly are building something

724
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: that makes you feel really good about where they are.

725
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: Jerry said it last night. He's like, you know, this

726
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,800
Speaker 1: is one of, if not the youngest roster in the NFL,

727
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 1: and you're seeing these guys grow and develop as the

728
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 1: season goes along, and you know, for all the bumps

729
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: and ruses they've taken along the way. They don't develop

730
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: like that without playing, you know, think you know, the

731
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: mistakes they made against Houston Seattle comes to mind, you know,

732
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: broken plays against them, and you know that's that's definitely

733
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 1: on me, Like I and again going back to my

734
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 1: point about not knowing what this team was like it.

735
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: You know, football teams are like living evolving things, and

736
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: it's easy to fall into the trap of like the

737
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: team in September is going to be the team in December,

738
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: you know, and that's when the Cowboys have been good.

739
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: In the time that I've been here, They've been good

740
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 1: right at the outset, like from the very beginning, like

741
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about that, and there's some

742
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: ebbs and flows, but you know, they're good. And so

743
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 1: it's weird and cool to see this team evolving into

744
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: a good team as the season goes along, because they

745
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: were not a good team even as recently as November fifth.

746
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, this, I mean, this game reminds me a

747
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 1: lot of that. We talked about the O nine game

748
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 1: with the with the Saints, how great they were, they

749
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 1: had won thirteen in a row. The couples were able

750
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: to beat them, but that season is starting to shape

751
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: up a little bit the same. It was, you know,

752
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: middle of the pack early in the year. And then,

753
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 1: of course I told you that earlier. You know, they

754
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 1: got a emergence from a wide receiver who wore number

755
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,879
Speaker 1: nineteen that really kind of propelled them to another level.

756
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: So that's kind of what what's happening with this team

757
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: and the guy named DeMarcus that that kind of put

758
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 1: them on in their back as well. So, um, that

759
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 1: was an eleven and five finish. They're gonna have to

760
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: win four more in a road to get to that,

761
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 1: which is doable. Right now, They're not going to be

762
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: underdogs in any game, right I would get on the

763
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: road maybe, yeah, that'll they'll be right there. I mean,

764
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: coming off of that game. I'm not saying you can't

765
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: say they will, but they should. They shouldn't finish any

766
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: worse than based on the way they played, because they

767
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: also had a rough patch earlier and then they got

768
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 1: on a roll. And I think they're one of the

769
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: teams has a nice streak going as well. Yeah, um,

770
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: but I think they're very similar. So on the road

771
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: they might be they might be underdogs by three maybe,

772
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: but yeah, other than that, this is a very doable

773
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: schedule down the stretch. I mean ten and six will

774
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: win the division. I think nine and seven still will

775
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: win the division, but the seven wins shoot for that.

776
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: I think nine and seven wins in the division. If

777
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 1: if the two wins are Philadelphia and the Giants, I

778
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: think that will win the division. But ten and six

779
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: will will will win the division, and especially if you

780
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: beat the Eagles. Yeah, you know, it's it's like every week,

781
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 1: it's like, no, this is this is the biggest game.

782
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: Think about that, though, if you go back a few

783
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 1: weeks ago, before you got to the Tennessee game, or

784
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 1: right after the Tennessee game, you look at this schedule

785
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,280
Speaker 1: and you said, Okay, this is the meat of their schedule.

786
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: This is these next what five games, they're they're gonna

787
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: be playing really really good teams. And you at the

788
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,479
Speaker 1: best case scenario, maybe they go three and two and

789
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: they have managed to reel off four in a row

790
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: and now heading down a stretch against a Philly team

791
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: that isn't as good as you thought maybe they would

792
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 1: be at that point. So again, things change in the NFL.

793
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 1: NFL in a dime but this team is certainly looking

794
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 1: up from where we thought they were four weeks ago,

795
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: just a month ago. You just can't get rid of them.

796
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: You can, I mean, I mean them him, I mean

797
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 1: like every time we'll talk about it, don't get Amber started. Yeah,

798
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 1: go into our final break, and when we come back,

799
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: I do want to discuss coaching and play calling, and

800
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 1: we'll get this fart up in here. While the player

801
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: can look good on paper, it's when he's out on

802
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: the field that you really find out what he's made of.

803
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: That's why the Cowboys rely on more than just stats

804
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: and scouting reports when building their team. When picking a tractor,

805
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: it's why you should rely on more than just specs

806
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 1: and features. You've got to take it out and put

807
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: it to the test. The Cowboys did when they named

850
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you for that. Now very quickly we

851
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 1: tend we as fans tend to really really criticize the

852
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: play calling and the coaching when you lose a game.

853
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 1: But to be fair, I just wanted to get your

854
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: overall thoughts on how the game was managed and the

855
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: play calling of these coaches throughout this game. I want

856
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: to get your opinions because you ended the last Yeah,

857
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: let's go fight. You give us your opinions first, and

858
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: then we'll jump in and drop that. That's the second part. Okay, Okay,

859
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 1: let's go. I mean, what was the plan going into

860
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: the game. The plan was to keep Drew Brees off

861
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 1: the field. They won the time of possession thirty six

862
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: fifty three to twenty three oh seven with a with

863
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: a running game that was not clicking on all cylinders,

864
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 1: so and getting sacked a bunch. They kept it simple

865
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: for Daky eight. A lot of it was short throws.

866
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, they stayed on the field. They didn't

867
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,800
Speaker 1: cash in all the times with points. But I thought

868
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 1: they managed the game great. They were able to do

869
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: that final drive in seven or eight minutes, and you

870
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: you even said that, You're like, let's just get a

871
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 1: drive here and win the game. I mean, they didn't

872
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: really win the game, but they certainly, you know, it

873
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: took a lot of time off that. So I think

874
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: you have to give the Cowboys credit, their coaching staff

875
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: credit for the game plan, both on offense and on defense.

876
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: I think defense was the key, because if you notice,

877
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: they had some wrinkles for him last night. One of

878
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 1: the things I noticed was, and you guys probably noticed

879
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 1: as well, when they get into situations where it was

880
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 1: third down and long, they went to dime and they

881
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: don't do that very often. They took that second linebacker

882
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: off which field, the Vanderesh right, which at first, Nick,

883
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 1: I think it was you that was saying, like, I

884
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: don't like Vanderesh coming off the field, But it worked

885
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: out really well, and because what they were doing was

886
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 1: if you notice, there were a few times they had

887
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis manned up on Kamara. Kamara is a receiver.

888
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: Every time it was third and longch right, he is

889
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 1: a receiver. Put a cornerback on him. You have a

890
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 1: better chance of stopping him than a linebacker. And that's

891
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 1: nothing against vanderish or or or or any linebacker for

892
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:09,919
Speaker 1: that matter, but a cornerback is going to be better

893
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: at that. And so to me, that was just all

894
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: about coming into a game saying, we feel like we

895
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: can get a good match up here to stop them

896
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: by doing this, and it's something we don't normally do,

897
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 1: and they did it, and they did it effectively. Gotta

898
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 1: give coaches credit for that. I mean, obviously, the defensive

899
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: game plan was amazing. You know, Jerry Jones said it

900
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,280
Speaker 1: after the game too, is but you guys do realized

901
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: us that wasn't the direction I was going to. I

902
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 1: wasn't talking about the defense. That's exactly that's the one

903
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 1: here from you. But ahead, we're getting it. We're getting like,

904
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 1: calm down. We got to twelve minutes, pretty calm. You

905
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: don't seem calm um the first Okay, Jerry Jones said

906
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 1: after the game, you gotta give Jason credit for a

907
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,280
Speaker 1: win like that, because you know he would be getting

908
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: roasted after a loss. I think those are wise words. Um,

909
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 1: give them all credit for their game plan. It worked out.

910
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: They probably didn't expect to have to lean on their

911
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 1: defense as much as they did. I don't I mean

912
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 1: the red the red zone play calling, I just hate it,

913
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 1: which I don't. I feel bad offering criticism because I'm

914
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: not sure what I would have done. Differently because again,

915
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: you know, me and Nick said at the top of

916
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 1: the show that run defense is legit, like they deserve

917
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,359
Speaker 1: all the credit in the world. So I don't know

918
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 1: that just banging away against that front with Ezekiel Elliott

919
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,919
Speaker 1: would have worked out any better. But two red zone

920
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: possessions ended with Dak Prescott being sacked. And that's in

921
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: a game where you know that the left side of

922
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: your line is not healthy slash starting a backup tackle, etc.

923
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 1: I don't I would have liked to see different play

924
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: calling there, but to get you know, running it up

925
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 1: the gut probably wouldn't have worked either, So I hesitate

926
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: to absolutely kill them. But again, one for four in

927
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 1: the crucial red zone moments of the game's just not

928
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 1: going to do it. It's just not Yeah, I agree

929
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:01,799
Speaker 1: with that. You know that they at least gave the

930
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: ball to Zeke on first down from the seven and

931
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:06,399
Speaker 1: he went wide, but then try to cut it back

932
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 1: inside and then and then they threw twice in a

933
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: row and he should have got sacked on second down,

934
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 1: and he made a nice play to get out of that.

935
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: Then on third down he did get sacked. This was

936
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 1: early in the game. That was the first Yeah, that

937
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: was the first field goal drive to to my point,

938
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: to the Saints credit, Zeke bounced that run right off

939
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 1: left tackle, and for a half second it looked like

940
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 1: he was going to walk into the end zone, and

941
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 1: the Saints just absolutely rallied and shut a good defense

942
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: and defense there. I thought he should have stayed wide

943
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 1: and and I think he thought the best way to

944
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,320
Speaker 1: score a touchdown was to cut back and break a tackle.

945
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: But I think if he would have stayed wide, he

946
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,399
Speaker 1: could have gotten two or three more yards, which could

947
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,879
Speaker 1: have changed the play calling there. But you know, it

948
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 1: was it's tough to score down there, and and they

949
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 1: don't just bully people off the ball anymore. That's not

950
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 1: what their offensive line is. So it's getting tougher and

951
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: tougher to score when you're at that at that point

952
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 1: in the game. And you know, and they're trying to

953
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,879
Speaker 1: be kind of conservative as well, but you know, when

954
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: you have a defense like that, you know you don't

955
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: want you don't want to fill an interception like he

956
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: did in Tennessee. I hesitate to criticize them in this instance,

957
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,919
Speaker 1: but Scott Linahan actually talked about this on Thursday. He's like, well, yeah,

958
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 1: we don't just run it three straight times because we

959
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 1: know that's what the defense thinks we're gonna do, you know,

960
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: And like there's like it feels like there's an element

961
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,879
Speaker 1: of they outthink themselves when they get down there. They're like, well,

962
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,839
Speaker 1: we can't just run the ball. Just because they think

963
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna do it didn't mean that we can't run

964
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 1: the ball. And you know, Beasley dropped the touchdown in

965
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 1: the red zone and Noah Brown was there, so again

966
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,879
Speaker 1: like I can't just kill him. But the red zone

967
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: offense is just not good enough that something play calling

968
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 1: is part of that, and it's gonna be the stats

969
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:42,879
Speaker 1: are gonna be kind of skewed again because they've got

970
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: down to the four yard line and then or one

971
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 1: yard line and then they kneeled it. So I was like,

972
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: if it's like that's the college football fan in me,

973
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 1: I was like, just run it in and just just

974
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:57,359
Speaker 1: get the kind of style. The style points and while

975
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 1: it helps your red zone, I mean, two out of

976
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 1: two out of five is better than one out of five.

977
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 1: But the only way to fall way to lose the

978
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 1: game is to do that then and then the Saints

979
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 1: will drive down that score on site really gonna get blessed.

980
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:12,399
Speaker 1: I shouldn't be I shouldn't be a football coach because

981
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, just do it. Twenty to ten looks way better.

982
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,799
Speaker 1: Come on. Yeah, all right, Well, before we started talking

983
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 1: about Jason Garrett specifically, I wanted to make a quick

984
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 1: clarification last show when I made that job at the

985
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:27,800
Speaker 1: end of the show, I was specifically talking about Kellen

986
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 1: Moore and Dak needing a new coach that has and

987
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,359
Speaker 1: no offense to Kellen Moore. I think he's a great guy,

988
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: very smart guy, but he just needs as far as Dak,

989
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 1: he just needs a better quarterback coach, someone with more experience,

990
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:47,959
Speaker 1: experience on the field, that has been successful at doing

991
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,840
Speaker 1: that kind of job and be able to do. Okay

992
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 1: that being said, and I think we all agree on that.

993
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 1: I think we've talked about that before. Like I think

994
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 1: we all kind of agree on that. Thank you that

995
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 1: you know, going through my calms last night. A lot

996
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 1: of fans as of right now have very mixed feelings because, yes,

997
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:09,399
Speaker 1: on one hand, they're very much enjoying this win and

998
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: four winning games. Now, on the other hand, what does

999
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 1: that mean for Jason Garrett? A lot of people want

1000
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 1: him out of the picture, want to move on from him,

1001
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,879
Speaker 1: although they still want to see game wins. But as

1002
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 1: of right now, how are things How would you project

1003
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 1: that this is lining up for Garrett? This is what

1004
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 1: so sorry, go ahead, No, this is exactly you know,

1005
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: people think that we are like mouthpieces or homers when

1006
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 1: we say save that for after the season. This is

1007
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 1: exactly why. Like, that's exactly why you play this thing out.

1008
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 1: Nobody could have seen where this would have been five

1009
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 1: weeks ago. And for that matter, if you want to

1010
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 1: handle both sides of the coin. We just talked about

1011
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 1: this during the break, that's gonna ratchet right back up.

1012
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: If they fall off, you're seven and five. Now this

1013
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: is a much better team. But I have vivid memories

1014
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 1: of twenty thirteen. The Cowboys were seven and five coming

1015
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 1: off Thanksgiving. They had it all in front of them.

1016
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:09,919
Speaker 1: They get blasted two weeks in a row. They lose

1017
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 1: to the Bears, they give up a twenty point lead

1018
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 1: to the Packers, and all of a sudden they're right

1019
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 1: back where they were. So things change on a dime

1020
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 1: in the NFL. And if they're seven and seven in

1021
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:21,400
Speaker 1: two weeks and I mean, if they don't make sorry,

1022
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 1: if they don't make the playoffs, now, that's a horrible

1023
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 1: look for Jason Garrett and we will be right back

1024
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 1: where we were. So it was too early to talk

1025
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 1: about firing him when he was three and five. It's

1026
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 1: too early to talk about whether he will be the

1027
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:35,839
Speaker 1: long term coach here when he's seven and five. There's

1028
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:38,319
Speaker 1: a month left of the season to play football. It's

1029
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 1: almost as if you should wait and gather as much

1030
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 1: data as possible before you try to spout off hot time.

1031
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:47,399
Speaker 1: There's a mark that, as of right now, you would

1032
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,799
Speaker 1: start saying, Okay, well, if they do make it to

1033
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 1: the playoffs, okay, maybe he stays, but if maybe they

1034
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 1: lose this way, then he goes. So what is what

1035
00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 1: would you say, is that mark that line that would

1036
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 1: that final decision, or that you would think, like Jerry

1037
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 1: Jones would make that final decision to let him go

1038
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 1: or you stay either way? Right? I think Dave's right

1039
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 1: on this one. I mean, you can say all you

1040
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 1: want to about how how great things are, but how

1041
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 1: does it end? How does this story end? Um? What

1042
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: if they win every single game from here on out

1043
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:25,839
Speaker 1: and they're eleven and five and they're the third set

1044
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:27,839
Speaker 1: and they lose the first game at home. That's not

1045
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,400
Speaker 1: good to a lower CE team. Yeah, I mean it

1046
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:32,839
Speaker 1: would be to the sixth seed, to the worst team

1047
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:35,360
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, right, But who, by the way, probably

1048
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 1: already beat the daunced this season. Yeah, Carolina or Minnesota

1049
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 1: could be sitting there too, And what about that, you know,

1050
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 1: Green Bay. Maybe I don't know if he gets it going.

1051
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:48,359
Speaker 1: But but again, I think Dave's right on this one.

1052
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 1: You have to wait and see how how it plays out.

1053
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 1: What if you do win, I mean, you win a

1054
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 1: game and then you go to New Orleans or LA

1055
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 1: and have to play and maybe it's ugly this time around.

1056
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I just you have to wait and see

1057
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 1: how this thing ends. But one thing I've never understood

1058
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,319
Speaker 1: about a fan, and I'm a fan as well. I've

1059
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:08,719
Speaker 1: got a college team that I root for. I'm a fan,

1060
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,759
Speaker 1: I get it. I've never wanted my team to lose

1061
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 1: to so I could change the coach. If the coach

1062
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:17,799
Speaker 1: is good enough to win games, then then I want him.

1063
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: I mean, like, let's see what reality is. But I

1064
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 1: know fans just think, well, we're only gonna be just

1065
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 1: middle of the pack with this guy. And you know,

1066
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,279
Speaker 1: but I've I've never wanted to like lose game. You

1067
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,399
Speaker 1: said there's mixed results. How could there be? I don't

1068
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 1: understand there could be mixed results a feelings because again, okay,

1069
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 1: you've seen how long Jason Garrett has been here for.

1070
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 1: You've seen what he's done so far. So he's like, Okay,

1071
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 1: you get into this habit of oh, yeah, maybe we're

1072
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 1: losing this game, but then you get hyped we win

1073
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 1: this game. Yes, maybe we're in. We're in Okay, yes

1074
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 1: we're going forward disappointment again. So yeah, that's the thing.

1075
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 1: Three and five football team that got embarrassed on Monday

1076
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 1: night football. And they got two games in a road

1077
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 1: against playoff teams on the road, Philadelphia in Atlanta, and

1078
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:07,399
Speaker 1: he gets them ready to go out there and play.

1079
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 1: And actually they dominated that Philadelphia game, even though the

1080
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: score didn't look like it. They were the better football team.

1081
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:14,799
Speaker 1: They were the better football team against the Falcons. They're

1082
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 1: way better against the Redskins, and they were better team

1083
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 1: last night. If this guy doesn't deserve a little bit

1084
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 1: of credit for saying, we're gonna keep doing it like this,

1085
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:24,839
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna get these guys ready to play. I mean,

1086
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 1: like him or not, that is an impressive feat for

1087
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 1: the coach. I've said it more times than I can count,

1088
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 1: and people roll their eyes at me, like there's a

1089
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 1: lot of Jason Garrett has a lot of deficiencies. I

1090
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 1: do not think he's a great game day exes and

1091
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 1: o's management. I mean, he has his moments. I don't

1092
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:43,439
Speaker 1: think he's amazing at it. He's robotic. I don't enjoy

1093
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,360
Speaker 1: his press conferences very much. But he gets these guys

1094
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 1: to play for him and has the entire time, And

1095
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:52,799
Speaker 1: that's why it was so weird when they lost two

1096
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:54,839
Speaker 1: games in a row, you know, a month ago. They

1097
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 1: don't do that under him. And I can hear people

1098
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,760
Speaker 1: right now just like you wind up eight Nate, Okay, cool,

1099
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:04,399
Speaker 1: but a Nate's the hell of a lot better than

1100
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 1: one and seven and some other results you've seen around here.

1101
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 1: So I get it. Like I said, he ain't perfect,

1102
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:12,840
Speaker 1: but if he can rally them to do that against

1103
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 1: the Saints, he is not a bad football coach. Yeah,

1104
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 1: you know, kind of similar of kind of what's happening

1105
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 1: with Dak right now that you really really value the

1106
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 1: things off the field, the things that they are able

1107
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:32,439
Speaker 1: to do as far as a leader, and you know, yes,

1108
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 1: technically they're not perfect, but at the same time, they

1109
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: keep everyone on the same team and keep everyone going

1110
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 1: and de fight to see the way that, like you mentioned,

1111
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 1: the whole team, how they back up Mark no Jason,

1112
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 1: I forgot his name for a second. How could I

1113
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 1: But the fact that you see them being all in

1114
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:57,319
Speaker 1: and that they don't get beat down or feel down,

1115
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 1: or that the energy starts changing as they start losing game.

1116
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:03,839
Speaker 1: That's a key thing. And I started seeing a lot

1117
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 1: of comments before this as okay, maybe the defense starting

1118
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:10,839
Speaker 1: to give up on their offense, the fact that they're

1119
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:13,479
Speaker 1: not really helping them out, And I think it's really

1120
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:16,920
Speaker 1: been the opposite. They've been bringing the offense back up

1121
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:20,439
Speaker 1: and elevating the whole energy of the game. So say

1122
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:22,759
Speaker 1: what you want about about like they've said about his

1123
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:24,759
Speaker 1: game management and those kinds of things. I think there's

1124
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 1: plenty of evidence there that suggests that people have reasons

1125
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 1: to have a quarrel with him about some of those things.

1126
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 1: But I have not seen a guy that motivates men

1127
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 1: as well as he has in a long time. There

1128
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 1: are only a few coaches I think that are as

1129
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 1: good at motivating men as he is. And that's me

1130
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:48,200
Speaker 1: because I get to see and you guys too, you've

1131
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:50,760
Speaker 1: seen it as well. We get to sometimes see behind

1132
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 1: the curtain and see some of the speeches that he

1133
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:54,799
Speaker 1: gives to this team and some of the things he

1134
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:57,319
Speaker 1: says to them, and see how they take those things.

1135
00:54:57,320 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 1: And if you start noticing, you start hearing these patterns.

1136
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:01,880
Speaker 1: Things he's saying to them is the same things that

1137
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 1: they're saying to the media. That means they're not rolling

1138
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:06,479
Speaker 1: their eyes. That means they're not dismissing what he says.

1139
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:08,919
Speaker 1: They're actually taking it in and they're actually buying in.

1140
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 1: And so I really believe from standpoint of motivation, he's

1141
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 1: a very very very good coaches. It's the other things

1142
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 1: that seem to be maybe the reason why his record

1143
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,799
Speaker 1: just hasn't reflected him being a great coach. Motivation is

1144
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,720
Speaker 1: not the issue in a league with this much parody.

1145
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 1: Go take the last five years and look around, look

1146
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 1: at every team in the league. I guarantee you all

1147
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 1: of them get their asses absolutely kicked a couple of

1148
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 1: times this season. I mean the New England Patriots got

1149
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 1: their asses absolutely handed to them by the Titans two

1150
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,359
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Detroit did a number on them as well.

1151
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 1: In Jason Garrett's entire tenure here, that's maybe happened like

1152
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:50,839
Speaker 1: three times. That to me, more than anything, is just him.

1153
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:53,759
Speaker 1: Like like I said, it's a recipe for eight and eight.

1154
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:56,799
Speaker 1: I get it, I get it. But they are always competitive,

1155
00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 1: they always play hard for him, and that is impressive

1156
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 1: to me. But we had a speech the other night

1157
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 1: as well. I mean that players aren't talking about did

1158
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:07,239
Speaker 1: not want to talk to They're not talking specifically, but

1159
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 1: it's going. It was going around that that that was

1160
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:12,359
Speaker 1: a really big, you know point when when they were like,

1161
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 1: you know what, we're going out, we're gonna play hard,

1162
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna win this game. Not not that that they

1163
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 1: need that, but you know, it's hard to keep doing

1164
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 1: different messages every every time. So I think that something

1165
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 1: was said Wednesday night and that there is something to

1166
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 1: be said. I think for you know, you say they're

1167
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 1: professionals and they should always be up, and I get that,

1168
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:31,279
Speaker 1: and that's true, but there is something too. Whenever you're

1169
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 1: doing any kind of competition, someone being able to remind

1170
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:37,919
Speaker 1: you and put things into your head that in those

1171
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:41,479
Speaker 1: tough moments of the game can kind of play back

1172
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 1: in your head and it reminds you of what your

1173
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:47,319
Speaker 1: purpose is. Right, So those things matter. I don't think

1174
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:50,400
Speaker 1: that that you can say that it doesn't matter that

1175
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:53,760
Speaker 1: when when when a coach has a has a speech

1176
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 1: to this team, and and whether he's whether he's really

1177
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:58,480
Speaker 1: motivating them or not, like that matters. It makes a

1178
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:00,960
Speaker 1: difference that sometimes when I hear him, I'm like, give

1179
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,719
Speaker 1: me some paths. I'm ready, throw me on the get

1180
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:08,840
Speaker 1: me on the field, get killed, murder on the field.

1181
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 1: All right, Well, that is all the time we have
