Welcome to the latest edition of 12 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 2: The Break Life, s WBC Morgan Studios. At the start, 13 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 2: I said the twenty first, it's actually the twenty third 14 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,160 Speaker 2: gets everything wrong. Man. We get starting to show off wrong, 15 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 2: but we gotta get going. Cowboys have brand. Yeah, Cowboys 16 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 2: have a rough day yesterday. But in the there were 17 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 2: some things that I think we'll talk about that as 18 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 2: the game wore on, some areas where there could be 19 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 2: some things that could be positives. All in all, though, 20 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 2: it's hard to get positives out of yesterday. That was 21 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 2: a tough tough game for them, especially coming off after 22 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 2: what you saw a week ago against the New Orleans States, 23 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 2: both times in the comfy confines of at and T Stadium. 24 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 2: So let's start first. Baltimore wins twenty eight twenty five. 25 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 2: Let's go around the table, give me the story of 26 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 2: the game. We'll start with you Nick. 27 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 4: Yeah. I talked about it last week, the structure of 28 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 4: losses over the course of these last two seasons. It's 29 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 4: getting blown off the ball defensively in the run game specifically, 30 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 4: and Baltimore definitely had that game plan ready to go. 31 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 4: Michael Parson said it after the game. They did exactly 32 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 4: what everybody expected. They lined up in multiple situations where 33 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 4: they were lining up Derrick Henry to have blockers in 34 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 4: front of him between the tackles, and he went after 35 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 4: that defensive line. I saw stat this morning. He had 36 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 4: over one hundred yards in both of his touchdowns running 37 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 4: between the tackles specifically, and Lamar Jackson obviously he had 38 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 4: his ATHOUGHTICISNM on display. Everything that you expected from the 39 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 4: Ravens offense, they did and they executed well. Now you 40 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 4: mentioned the positives, and there were some positives I think 41 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 4: you could take away, especially in that second half. They 42 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 4: only allow the one Derek Henry touchdown in the second half, 43 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 4: and other than that, it looked pretty clean from a 44 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 4: defensive perspective, especially as they were starting to pick up 45 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 4: some steam late. But I think whenever you look at 46 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 4: how this team cannot stop the run at a historic level, 47 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 4: it's a problem and it's kind of tough. I wrote 48 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 4: about it a little bit last night because it's not 49 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 4: like they can bring in personnel to make this situation better. 50 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 4: It's not like there's a there's a fixed all out there. 51 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 4: There's just kind of hanging in the balance that could 52 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 4: help bring in. There are multiple issues up front. It 53 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 4: kind of extends to all eleven. 54 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,079 Speaker 3: I think when you play against a quarterback that's this 55 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 3: elite as a ball handler and as a runner, it's 56 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 3: going to be difficult day. That quarterback was amazing, and 57 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 3: then the way he played and it's the second week 58 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,399 Speaker 3: where quarterback hasn't had to throw the ball, which tells 59 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 3: you the running game is But Lamar Jackson his ability 60 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 3: to put pressure on you, to stress you in every 61 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 3: way possible, they've got. Really that was a team that 62 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 3: was in you know, they've lost coaches and some players. 63 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 3: That's an AFC championship team last year, you know, going 64 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,399 Speaker 3: to and you could kind of see why they add 65 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 3: Derrick Henry which was a great get for them. The 66 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 3: physical the way that Dallas in this running game, and 67 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 3: to me, honestly, on film, the New Orleans game looked 68 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 3: worse than this one did. And I know it's Derrick 69 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 3: Henry and it's big and all that I expect. I 70 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 3: expect this quarterback to make plays. I knew that going 71 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 3: in this was going to be a difficult task. The 72 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 3: problems with your Cowboys defense is though, even when you 73 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 3: get some guys that are doing exactly what they needed 74 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 3: to do, you don't fit. Maybe you have the front 75 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 3: does some thing and then the backers don't fit, and 76 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 3: then you get the fit, but then you don't get 77 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 3: the tackle. The margin of error for this Cowboys defense 78 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 3: in the running game is very, very very small. They 79 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 3: almost have to play everything perfect. And even when they 80 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 3: get you know, they get crash ends and no fill 81 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 3: and then they get upfield and then they get no 82 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 3: fill and then they and then they get a fill 83 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 3: and then they miss a tackle, you know, or the 84 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 3: ball cuts back. I mean, you're gonna watch this game 85 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 3: and you're gonna go There's some guys that played really 86 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 3: actually pretty well. I mean Mazzie Smith for defensive tackle 87 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 3: played pretty well in this football game. He did he 88 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 3: did things he actually they needed to do with the 89 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 3: defensive line. But their margin of error again is so 90 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 3: so small because when they do get somebody in position 91 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 3: to make a play. They had they had several carries 92 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 3: yesterday where it was three yards, no yards, three yards, 93 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 3: two yards, three yards. You know you're capable. You see 94 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 3: them the abillity to play when they had to get 95 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 3: the ball back. They really ratcheted it down on defense. 96 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 3: I mean they got after it and they were controlling 97 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 3: some blocks, and they were in position, and guys were 98 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,359 Speaker 3: playing and doing what they exactly need to do. But 99 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 3: when they when one guy does not do his job 100 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 3: in this run defense, it ends up being a twenty 101 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 3: seven yard run or a touchdown run. You know, they 102 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 3: got you in unbalanced one time on the goal line, 103 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 3: and and Dallas was confused on how to play the front. Well, okay, 104 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 3: give them credit for unbalanced line. They put the tackle over, 105 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 3: they created a strength. Dallas wasn't sure guys standing around 106 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 3: bull right there. You know, margin vera are very very 107 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 3: small for this team playing run defense. 108 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 5: Right now, I'm trying to keep my emotions neutral to 109 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 5: where I'm not exaggerating too much, because again you got 110 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 5: to keep in mind this is still very very early 111 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 5: on in the season, but it moves alone very quickly. 112 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 5: There's another game that's going to be played this Thursday, 113 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,359 Speaker 5: and I respect so many people on that side of 114 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 5: the building and what they do and their job, and individually, 115 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 5: I think there is a lot of talent on this 116 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 5: team for players. But at the same time, a am 117 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 5: I surprised in a way. And I'm saying this because 118 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 5: it all goes back to that last game against Green Bay. 119 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 5: Then you carry into what happened during the off season, 120 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 5: which was not a whole lot. You're depending on these 121 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 5: younger players, You're depending on drafting, and then hoping that 122 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 5: Mike Simmer comes in here and changes the defense or 123 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 5: gives the defense that extra bump that they needed, which 124 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 5: I feel like right now is taking a step backwards 125 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 5: from what we had with Dan Quinn. At the moment, 126 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 5: I have my hopes were very very high based on 127 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 5: what I saw during training camp, even the preseason, some 128 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 5: of the things that Mike's showed defensively, I was very 129 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 5: much looking forward to this defense just being so much 130 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 5: better and having what they were missing. But it hasn't 131 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 5: been the case. So it's just it's a lot to 132 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 5: handle at the moment because given everything how last season ended, 133 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 5: the off season, what happened, You're hoping not to have 134 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 5: this kind of start of the year, and you're having 135 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 5: that kind of start of the year, especially after you 136 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 5: pay your quarterback and CD Lamb and I still think 137 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 5: it's very well deserved money, and I still agree with 138 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 5: the contract that they gave them both, But you cannot 139 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 5: be playing that way, you know, City cannot be having 140 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 5: because of now what happened with the contract and all that. 141 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 5: You cannot be having those type of game games. And 142 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 5: we talk about him being accent absent during training camp 143 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 5: and holding out, and we had plenty of discussions around that, 144 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 5: how is that going to affect his playing time once 145 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 5: he gets on the field, And clearly it's been I mean, 146 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 5: he hasn't been a playmaker so far in the offseason. 147 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 5: He's had his moments where he's been good and successful, 148 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 5: But it's just an as I'm speaking, I'm trying to 149 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 5: come up with what could be the problem exactly, and 150 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 5: I don't I don't know what the answer is here 151 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 5: as far as what the issues are and how you 152 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 5: quickly fix those problems. The only bright light blinking is, 153 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 5: like you said, the running back. I mean, we'll talk 154 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 5: about it later, but Dalvin Cook, that's another maybe hope there. 155 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think honestly, I think we all know, or 156 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 2: at least I think there's a clear pattern of what 157 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 2: we think. The problem is. They can't stop the run 158 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,599 Speaker 2: and they can't run. And when you play in the 159 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 2: NFL and you can't stop the run and or run 160 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 2: the ball, you're going to have a hard time to 161 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 2: do because that means teams never have to on defense. 162 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 2: Teams never have to get to that second thing. If 163 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 2: you can't stop the run, they don't have to worry 164 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 2: about the past. That's two weeks in a row been 165 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 2: run out of the building and Team Devint had to 166 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 2: throw the ball on you. So it's just it's hard 167 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 2: to play defense when you can't stop the run and 168 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 2: then being able to run the ball. I think some 169 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 2: of the problems Dallas's experienced, particularly with the field goals 170 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 2: and not being able to get farther than getting into 171 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 2: field goal range, have been precisely because you can't run 172 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 2: the ball. You get a compact field. If you can't 173 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 2: run it makes it a lot harder to be able 174 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 2: to pass. And so I think it really comes to 175 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,959 Speaker 2: those two things, running the ball stopping the run. 176 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 4: And it's so funny because you go back to the 177 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 4: very beginning of the offseason and Mobile Alabama, when Jerry 178 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 4: Jones is like, Okay, this is what we want to 179 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 4: do this offseason. Throw the all incomment out the window 180 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 4: whenever he said, we want to run the ball better 181 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 4: and we need to stop the run better. And they 182 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 4: have not done either of those two things better than 183 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 4: they did last season. And last season was putrid. And 184 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 4: stopping the run and running the ball it was I 185 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,719 Speaker 4: think it was middle of the league. But now you're 186 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 4: in the bottom of the league. You lost a playmaker 187 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 4: and Tony Pollard at the end of the day, he 188 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 4: was a thousand yard guy. At the end of the day, 189 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 4: you do not have a thousand yard guy on this 190 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 4: team right now. Going to the running stopping the run 191 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 4: that point. This is via ESPN research. The Cowboys have 192 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 4: allowed five hundred and fifty seven rushing yards. It's the 193 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 4: most through three games in the entire NFL since nineteen 194 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 4: sixty three. They have allowed five point four sixty three. Yeah, yeah, 195 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 4: that's a long time nobody, but I was born six. 196 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 2: You're born in sixty. 197 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 4: This happened the year you went in sixty three. Remember, Oh, yes, 198 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,079 Speaker 4: so you weren't around for this. We're not around for this. 199 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 4: They have allowed five point four yards per carry, the 200 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 4: worst average through three games since nineteen seventy nine, and 201 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 4: they have given up eight rushing touchdowns, the most of 202 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,839 Speaker 4: franchise history through three games. I mean, it's it's it's 203 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 4: a historics pace how bad their run defense is. And 204 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 4: like I said, it's such a compound problem that I 205 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 4: don't know how you fix it with just one trade 206 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 4: or one acquisition or one point. It's just it's it's 207 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 4: mind blowing. Rian. 208 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,719 Speaker 2: I know you said you thought last week they were 209 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 2: actually better this week than they were last year, stopping 210 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 2: this last week, stopping the run. Yeah, talk me a 211 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 2: little bit more about what specifically you mean by that 212 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 2: one with regard to their what did they get better 213 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,319 Speaker 2: this week even though the results say that they were worse. 214 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 3: Well, the thing that to me when you watched, the 215 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 3: possibility of making plays was here this week. You know 216 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 3: where you had you had gained It seemed like last 217 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 3: week every time we looked up. It was second and 218 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 3: two second in one. The whole day. You know, there 219 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 3: were some times where they had a run for three, 220 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 3: a run for three, a run for four, and then 221 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 3: but you had chunk runs. You had those explosive runs. 222 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 3: You know. Heck the quarterback, they bust a play, they 223 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 3: bust he's fake and there's nobody to fake to. He 224 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 3: just takes off running. But he gets you know, five yards, 225 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 3: and you're you're kind of like going, damn, you got 226 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 3: to get a stop there. The biggest problem to me 227 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 3: right now is though, when they do put when they 228 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 3: do get in position, they just like I say, overshown, 229 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,679 Speaker 3: miss some some tackles. You know, they had guys in 230 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 3: position with Wilson to make plays. They've taken some poor 231 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 3: angles along the way way. But you know, I, at 232 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 3: least at the Saints, I kind of felt like every 233 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,959 Speaker 3: time the Saints handed the ball off that it was 234 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 3: a chunk run. I mean, you go back and you go, okay, 235 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 3: oh good stop, and you could kind of see why 236 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 3: you could kind of you know, I the thing about 237 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 3: you know, giving up eighty seven yards to Lamar Jackson, 238 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 3: you kind of knew that was going to happen. You know, 239 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 3: you knew that was gonna happen, that Henry Henry had 240 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty one yards Russian twenty nine on 241 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 3: the long run. You know, but there were time I mean, 242 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 3: you were you know it was there were times where 243 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,719 Speaker 3: he had a three yard gain, he had another three 244 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,839 Speaker 3: yard gain and then he cut the ball back for 245 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 3: seven and then another three yard gain. And you know, 246 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 3: so to me, I didn't see three yard gains against 247 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 3: the Saints. I saw big chunk runs from you know, 248 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,079 Speaker 3: Alvin Kamara, and this one it was a little bit 249 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 3: to me. You know, they they've they've they've got themselves 250 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 3: in position where they can make plays. And if they 251 00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 3: don't make plays, that's why I say the margin of 252 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 3: air from them is so small on defense. You know, heck, 253 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 3: they had a chance late in the game Henry Henry 254 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 3: has a run and they have a chance for a 255 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 3: tackle to knock the ball loose. I mean, he's flagging 256 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 3: the ball and you just any other time that's probably 257 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 3: gonna be you know, it's going to be a fumble. 258 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 3: I mean if you just you know, you get that, 259 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,439 Speaker 3: you get with the tackle and getting bodies of the 260 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 3: ball and now you're going to get the ball. You 261 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 3: know you're gonna get an opportunity, but you know they 262 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 3: just can't. They can't finish like they need to finish. 263 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 3: And I felt like that to me, they did a 264 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 3: better job of playing blocks up front, but when the 265 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 3: when it came down to having to make that tackle, Okay, 266 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 3: he's going to cut the ball back. Everything's taken care 267 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 3: of front side. Where's the backside, where's the backside, where's 268 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 3: the squeeze, where's the linebacker? Where's the tackle there? They 269 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 3: are just seem like they're they're one player out of 270 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 3: position every single time in that game yesterday where the 271 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 3: Saints game, I felt like they were blocked. Everybody was blocked, 272 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 3: And yesterday it just gave me a little bit more 273 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 3: hope that if they have better fits, then maybe they 274 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 3: can play a little bit better run defense. But it 275 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 3: won the case yesterday. 276 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 2: All Right, we're going to check our first break when 277 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 2: we come back. I want to dive a little more 278 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 2: even into that conversation and really go from the standpoint 279 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 2: of if you had to kind of grade these different 280 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 2: levels of the defense, the defensive tackles, defensive ends, linebacker, safeties, 281 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 2: which would you say were more responsible for what we 282 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 2: saw yesterday in the run game and which you think 283 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 2: were better at the run game, even though again the 284 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 2: results were not what the Cowboys want at all. We'll 285 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 2: talk about that when we come back Dallas Cowboys dot 286 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 2: Com Radio. 287 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 6: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 288 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 6: cheatah Savannah.

At the start of this 353 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,919 Speaker 2: segment brought to you by blockchain dot Com. All right, 354 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 2: we're talking about the Cowboys versus Ravens. We're into it, 355 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 2: We're into the defense. Here's my question for you. And 356 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 2: I've heard what you guys said about this. So if 357 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 2: we had to really kind of handicap this thing and say, okay, 358 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 2: here were the position groups that were most responsible for 359 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 2: the run defense being as good yesterday versus the ones 360 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 2: that actually played Okay, where would you put them between 361 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,919 Speaker 2: the defensive tackles, defensive ends, linebackers, and safeties who were 362 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 2: the most problematic yesterday. 363 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't love the play from the defensive ends. 364 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,239 Speaker 4: I expected maybe a little bit more from them. That 365 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 4: being said, the defensive tackle situation is still bad. And 366 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 4: I Ohsa diggi zoo. I think had had some more 367 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 4: moments yesterday than he had last week against the Saints. 368 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,439 Speaker 4: He called more good moments, more good moments. Yes, he 369 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 4: called that game the worst game of his career, and 370 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 4: I think that was pretty accurate looking back on it. 371 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 4: And like Brian mentioned, Mazzi, Smith had a couple of moments, 372 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 4: but I still feel like he's a way below average 373 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 4: players as a defensive tackle. The defensive line as a 374 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 4: whole just has to be better. They have to be 375 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 4: better in defending the run because then it's a domino 376 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 4: effect to the rest of the defense. Then you're asking 377 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 4: the linebackers to do multiple things on a play when 378 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 4: a certain guy is not doing their job up front. 379 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 4: And then if you're looking in the safety group, I, 380 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 4: you know, I really like Mollie Cooker and Donovan Wilson, 381 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 4: and I liked them as players, you know, as they 382 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 4: started to get ingrained into Dallas. But I haven't seen 383 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 4: anything from either of those two to warrant you know, 384 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,160 Speaker 4: me saying that they have played well through three weeks. 385 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 4: And that's in the past game as well, but specifically 386 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 4: in the run game, if we're talking about that specifically, 387 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 4: we've gotten used to seeing Malik Hooker Phil running lanes 388 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 4: and come up and make a play. We've gotten used 389 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 4: to seeing Donovan Wilson, you know, take a guy's head 390 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 4: off across the middle of the field legally, and we, 391 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 4: of course, and we haven't seen that happen. And it's 392 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 4: the safety play has been pretty bad as well, and 393 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 4: it makes you wonder what the health is of Marquise Bell. 394 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 4: He left yesterday with the ankle injury. Sounds like we'll 395 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 4: get more on that end today. But if if he's 396 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 4: to miss some time, then that only makes things more 397 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 4: difficult for a safety group that you know hasn't been 398 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 4: playing well either. 399 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 5: I think, I mean, for me, there's no one that 400 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 5: has been doing better. Actually, people trying to be superman 401 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 5: around here. That's the problem, Derek. 402 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 4: Everyone trying. Is that like. 403 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 5: Give me a laugh or a smile or something. A 404 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 5: tough crowd, A tough crowd. No, but it's it's collectively. Honestly. 405 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 5: There are times that I see players and you talk 406 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 5: about like for example, overshown players like that. But again, 407 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 5: you have, or me, I have to remember where they're 408 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 5: at in their careers and that that's where you can 409 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 5: be so tough on them or rely so much of them, 410 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 5: because you need help around you. You need the team 411 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 5: to collectively be making place. And I think, going back 412 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 5: to what Nick just said, even Donovan Wilson just they've 413 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 5: lost that aggressiveness that they once had. Sometimes you see 414 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 5: it them the tackling. They're not being aggressive tackling and 415 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 5: getting to to the point where they're getting to the 416 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 5: player and attacking that way, but also playing slower football 417 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 5: like always. I've seen a lot of plays where they're 418 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 5: just like a step behind and not just kind of 419 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 5: not being at the same speed as the opposing team. 420 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 5: And to me, that has been the biggest issue for me. 421 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,360 Speaker 5: They're just playing a little slower than the opposing team 422 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 5: and not tackling aggressively enough. 423 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, the biggest problem, one of the one of the 424 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 3: biggest problems they have is when that ball goes to 425 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 3: the outside. They've been hurt so much by it that 426 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 3: you get guys flying to get there or try to 427 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 3: get there, and then all of a sudden you have 428 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 3: everybody pinned to one side of the field and then 429 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 3: the ball comes back, you know, the ball maybe comes 430 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 3: back to the inside. I mean the immediately when that 431 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 3: when it when the flow starts away from them, they 432 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 3: are all flying to the ball. I don't you know, 433 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 3: one time, when I used to live in this building 434 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 3: or a valley ranch, you could walk down the hall 435 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 3: and ask, what's your story with the crash ends? You know, 436 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 3: you know you're talking about the ends and maybe is 437 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 3: there something scheme wise you thought that like Okay, we're 438 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 3: going to crash ends and fill on the outside. We're 439 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 3: gonna fill with the safeties, We're gonna fill with the linebackers. 440 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 3: You know, there was there was a couple of times 441 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 3: where the where you see Tank and you see Micah 442 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 3: just take inside charge and then there's nothing to the 443 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 3: outside of that, you know, and then all of a sudden, 444 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 3: now the ball goes to where you know, you get 445 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,239 Speaker 3: Jackson sees crash in and now he takes it, or 446 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 3: you know, you play wide and then he gets you know, 447 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 3: he did a masterful job of reading whether you were 448 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 3: playing crash ends or trying to keep things wide. And 449 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,959 Speaker 3: there was a couple of times there where you know, 450 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 3: to me, I I felt like that the linebackers it 451 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 3: wasn't their best game. It wasn't The defensive tackles aren't great. 452 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 3: Don't give me but I think Osa, I think Mazi. 453 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,439 Speaker 3: I think when you watch, you're gonna see, Okay, that 454 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 3: looks positive, that looks positive. There's a couple of times 455 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 3: where it doesn't look positive, but you're going you know that. 456 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 3: I think, ain't that the way the Ravens play, It 457 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 3: puts so much stress on you. It means it just you, 458 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 3: like I say, you have to be perfect with you know, 459 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 3: I mean, how about the times like when they when 460 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 3: they run the jet and then you make the tackle, 461 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 3: looks like but you know it's he pulls it pulls 462 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,479 Speaker 3: the jet and now you know everybody's you make the 463 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 3: tackle and now he's running for nine yards? 464 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 4: I mean, calling it positive or are we calling it 465 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 4: positive in comparison to last week? 466 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 3: I think it's positive in the way that I think 467 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 3: in last week's was. I think last week was a 468 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 3: total defensive failure. I think it was a total the Saints. 469 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 3: I think the Saints physically beat you well. And I 470 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 3: think that yesterday Dallas got some stops. You know that 471 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 3: they got some stops in this game. Did they get 472 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 3: enough stops? 473 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 5: No? 474 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 3: But to me, it just looks worse with that big 475 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 3: Derrick Henry running the way he does, you know. I mean, 476 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 3: I think you could have survived that Derrick Henry aim 477 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 3: if they didn't have Lamar Jackson running the football too. 478 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 3: But I just don't know. I mean, I'd love to 479 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 3: have been able to walk down the hall and say, hey, 480 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 3: was our plans playing crash ins and trying to fill 481 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 3: that with safeties or linebackers. What was our plan there? 482 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 3: Because there were several times where, like I said, they're 483 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 3: so Dallas is so mindful now of the ball going 484 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 3: to the edge. They got everybody running and then it's 485 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 3: just that that cutback or that you get everybody going 486 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 3: and they just turn and they push you and now 487 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 3: it's up the field. So but I want to say 488 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 3: that I think the linebackers probably didn't with the missed tackles. 489 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 3: And you could throw Wilson in there. Wilson. We've seen 490 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 3: Wilson play. He takes some kind of questionable angles sometimes, 491 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 3: you know, and I think that you know, you got 492 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 3: you know, the I'll give Carson some credit. He missed 493 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 3: Nelson Aguilar, which was a huge play, fifty seven yard 494 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 3: huge play. But from that point on, my guy was 495 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 3: trying to tackle. He wouldn't. He was not going to 496 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,160 Speaker 3: be the guy that they said, wow, this guy missed. 497 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 3: He tried his best to make plays and make tackles. 498 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 2: And what I hate about it is, obviously we all 499 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,120 Speaker 2: see the highlight now of when Derrick Henry. Oh yeah, 500 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 2: but question him, But but that's Derrick Henry. And I 501 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 2: was telling my wife before this game, I was like 502 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 2: I guarantee you, at some point in this game, Dereck 503 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 2: Henry is going to make somebody look foolish. That's what 504 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 2: he does to everybody. This is how he is. If 505 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 2: he gets to a cornerback, if he gets in a 506 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 2: situation where it's one on one with him in a cornerback, 507 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 2: the vast majority of the time, that cornerback is gonna 508 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 2: look foolish because that's the type running back that he is. 509 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 2: And I agree with you, Brian. I thought, I thought, Kaylen, 510 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 2: as the game got on went on, I thought his tackling, 511 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 2: he got a little tougher with his tackle, and I 512 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 2: thought it became a little bit better now that play obviously, 513 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:48,199 Speaker 2: it is what it is. 514 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 3: It's terrible. I mean, to give up. They gave up. 515 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 3: They gave up two plays yesterday to a guy. They 516 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 3: gave up a guy played to a guy named Charlie Kohler. 517 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 3: To me tell you what, Charlie Cooler is your third 518 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 3: tied end for the Ravens. I mean, they're they're Mark 519 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 3: Andrews and and likely didn't hurt you in this game. 520 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 2: Yesterday it was a guy named Charlie Coches that zero. 521 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, a gay named Charlie Kohler had had a had 522 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 3: a thirty nine yard catch and Nelson Aguilar had one 523 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,719 Speaker 3: catch for fifty six yards. Think about that. That's I mean, 524 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 3: those are just two huge plays right there in this game. 525 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 3: But they but I just think the stress of this 526 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 3: of this Ravens offense, it could be too much. It 527 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 3: could be and but there were times where I felt 528 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 3: like that Dallas was there where they needed to be. 529 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 3: They've just got to do a better job of finishing 530 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 3: these plays. And I think when you guys get the 531 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 3: opportunity to sit down and watch it, you'll you'll say, well, 532 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 3: it's not like that all the time. But at least 533 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 3: there were some things Saints game. I wouldn't encouraged it 534 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 3: at all. Yeah, you got your ass handed to you. 535 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 3: This one was a little bit more you some self 536 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 3: afflicted things happened to you in this one. 537 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 4: There's still probably some self reflection that needs to go on. 538 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,160 Speaker 3: Even if you do fine, I totally agree. 539 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, even if you do finish a game offensively in 540 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 4: defensive on a high note. With that being said, yes, 541 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 4: you have the Giants this week on a short week, 542 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 4: I think that's a positive. Being able to kind of 543 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 4: bounce back and potentially have a really good opportunity to get. 544 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 3: Daniel Jones can't throwybe huh. 545 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, and then they got a wide receiver one that's legit, 546 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 4: huh and one of your LSU guys, Brian. But I 547 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:21,360 Speaker 4: think when you look at the schedule after that, there's yes, 548 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 4: it's early in the season, and you could probably use 549 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 4: that as an excuse. Hey, there's fourteen games left. We 550 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 4: can work some things out. The urgency kind of needs 551 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,719 Speaker 4: to be now though, you this thing could spiral out 552 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 4: of control in a really quick way and a really 553 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 4: tough manner. You go to Pittsburgh, who's all of a 554 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 4: sudden three and oh, you come home and play Detroit, 555 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 4: probably a pissed off Detroit team after what happened in 556 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 4: Arlington last year. Then you got the bye week, and 557 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 4: then you go to San Francisco, and then you got 558 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 4: to play Philly and then Houston. I mean, it's it 559 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,919 Speaker 4: doesn't it doesn't stop. There are playoff teams waiting to 560 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 4: come give you your best shot. And if you look 561 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 4: up and you're two and five or three and four 562 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 4: coming out of San Francisco, then we're talking about some 563 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 4: some much different possibilities at the end. 564 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 3: To me, guys, and correct me if I'm wrong, and 565 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 3: I'm usually wrong, so you can correct me if you 566 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 3: want to. But the thing about it is, though, if 567 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 3: you if you're like two and five, like you're talking about, 568 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,640 Speaker 3: they're gonna let this thing ride. In my opinion, they're 569 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 3: gonna let this thing ride. You know, they're gonna they're 570 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 3: gonna say, okay, what do we you know, we'll take 571 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,920 Speaker 3: our ten draft eleven draft picks or how many draft 572 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 3: picks you have, We'll take our cap money, We'll do 573 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 3: what we have to do with the coaching situation. Again, 574 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 3: I'm not I'm just saying, if it gets that point, 575 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 3: I don't see them. This thing has to be going 576 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 3: in a positive direction in order for me to believe 577 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:35,680 Speaker 3: that they're going to go out and make a trade 578 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 3: if they had to make a trade. Yep, I just 579 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 3: because if it's if it's okay, it is what it is. 580 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 3: Let's just play it out. Let's see what happens, and 581 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 3: we'll play all our young guys and see if we 582 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 3: can get better that way. I know it's a terrible 583 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 3: way to look at it, but I can see the 584 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 3: front office just you know, why if we're two and 585 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 3: five right now, why do we want to make a trade. 586 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 2: Well, if you believe what Jerry's saying, it makes you 587 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 2: think they're not making a trade at all. 588 00:28:58,480 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 3: No, does. 589 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 2: He keeps saying, I believe in that got the person 590 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 2: some of that. That's why you have to be careful 591 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 2: with Jerry because sometimes he says those things publicly because 592 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 2: he's trying to make sure that publicly other teams don't 593 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 2: look at and say, well, the Cowboys need it so 594 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 2: you can get a lot out of them. But that's 595 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 2: what he's saying publicly right now, is that he believes 596 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 2: in this, in this, in this personnel. And if that's 597 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 2: the case, it doesn't sound like that's something that they're 598 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 2: moving toward. 599 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 3: I just don't know if A lot Probably depends on 600 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 3: how the division looks at the time too. You know, 601 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 3: if you're but if you're two and five, you know, 602 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 3: where are you going? Halfway? 603 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 2: Yeah? 604 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 3: You know? Are you really? 605 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 7: Are? 606 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 8: You? 607 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 3: Really? Should I make a trade here to try and 608 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 3: get sing to five hundred right or you know? But 609 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 3: a lot depends, I think on the division as well. 610 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 4: I will say I think this, I think nine and 611 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 4: eight wins this division I'm at. Every week goes by, 612 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 4: I feel I thought it was at this division. I don't. 613 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 4: I don't believe in Philly's ability to get to ten, 614 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 4: and obviously I don't feel that way about the Cowboys, 615 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 4: Giants and Commanders right now either. 616 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 2: I will tell you this. I also don't think that 617 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 2: at this point, I don't think there'll be two teams 618 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 2: from the NFC is going to the playfast. So you 619 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 2: better win the division if you have playoff fast pirations. Yeah, 620 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 2: absolute division. 621 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 4: I think. 622 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 2: All right, let's go ahead and take our final break. 623 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 2: We'll come back. Let's talk about the offense, because the 624 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 2: offense struggled, although the score doesn't show it as much, 625 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 2: they struggled pretty much do most of that game.

All right, here we're gonna do. Let's talk 687 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 2: about the offense. DAK yesterday was twenty eight fifty one 688 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 2: fifty five percent completion rate, three hundred and seventy nine yards, 689 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 2: two touchdowns, zero I in t's a ninety one point 690 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 2: nine rating. And the one thing I can say that 691 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 2: I really loved about DAK yesterday, which I don't know 692 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 2: that I always see a lot of times when games 693 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 2: go off the rails for them, it just kind of 694 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 2: keeps going off the rails for them. It doesn't seem 695 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 2: like they ever find their way to get back in, 696 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 2: and yesterday, I think in the fourth quarter they find 697 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 2: found a way to get themselves back in. It wasn't enough, 698 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 2: and it doesn't absolve them of all the problems that 699 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,479 Speaker 2: we're having before that, but it did show me something 700 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 2: there where I don't always see that from this bunch. 701 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 2: But let's talk about what went wrong. Tell me why 702 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 2: in the first three quarters we saw on offense. 703 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 4: I've said enough about the running game. I'm not gonna 704 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 4: sound like a broken record there. I think everyone knows 705 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 4: how I feel about that, But I want to give 706 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 4: kind of context to a situation that has to do 707 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 4: with with CD Lamb. You look at last year, when 708 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,839 Speaker 4: did this offense really start to turn things up. It's 709 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 4: when CD spoke up after that San Francisco game, was like, 710 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 4: throw me the damp ball, and they started throwing him 711 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 4: the damn ball, and it ended up working out pretty 712 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 4: well as the season went on that he ended up 713 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,399 Speaker 4: having a franchise record setting season. Dak had an awesome year. 714 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 4: He could arguably say it's his best or second five 715 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 4: week six, Week six that right after Week six, I 716 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:37,799 Speaker 4: believe you look at how ced Lamb has affected these 717 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 4: first three games, and it's been minimal. It's it's not 718 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:42,799 Speaker 4: been to the level that you would expect from a 719 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,919 Speaker 4: CD Lamb. Now, let's look at yesterday specifically, he has 720 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 4: the meltdown moment in the first half on the on 721 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 4: the play where he was going into the end zone, 722 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,320 Speaker 4: there was a pass interference call, but it was offset 723 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 4: by a holding call in the backfield, and he starts 724 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 4: slapping his hands in the end zone and then he 725 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,279 Speaker 4: goes to the sideline at the end of that drive, 726 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 4: gets into it with Dak and Zach Martin. And then 727 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 4: in the second half and the second half where they 728 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 4: put together nineteen points in the fourth quarter and they 729 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 4: were mounting a comeback attempt, Ceede Lamb was nowhere to 730 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 4: be found. He was on the field, but it was 731 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 4: it was lazy route running. There was poor body language 732 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,360 Speaker 4: the entire second half. One reception for nine yards in 733 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 4: the second half from the guy you just paid thirty 734 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 4: four million dollars a year or two. And it's amplified 735 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:26,880 Speaker 4: whenever you go to the sideline and you see his 736 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 4: body language, you see him communicating with Dak Prescott and 737 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 4: in a not so friendly manner, Zach Martin in a 738 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,880 Speaker 4: not so friendly manner. When you see the on field 739 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,359 Speaker 4: performance and it's compounded with that, you have to look 740 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,799 Speaker 4: at it. And I think last year we saw this 741 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 4: offense move at Cede Lamb's pace when it was at 742 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,799 Speaker 4: its best, and right now, Cede Lamb does not have 743 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 4: a pace, He does not have a rhythm. Is that 744 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 4: a product of him not having a training camp? Probably so, 745 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:52,840 Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, he's gonna have 746 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 4: to be able to in a sense grow up and 747 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:56,879 Speaker 4: be able to find that, be a little bit more 748 00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 4: accountable and answer to these questions about why he is 749 00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 4: not been the playmaker that we expect Cede Lamb to 750 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,479 Speaker 4: be week in and week out. Whether that's an early 751 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,759 Speaker 4: season thing, not having a training camp thing, whatever it is, 752 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 4: He's gonna have to be able to find it because 753 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,839 Speaker 4: one reception for nine yards during a comeback attempt, it's 754 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 4: not acceptable. And I think at the end of the day, 755 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,879 Speaker 4: whenever you look at, yes, the running game huge problem. Yes, 756 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 4: there is probably not a huge playmaker outside of Ceedee 757 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 4: Lamb and Jake Ferguson. Yes, but you still need CD 758 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 4: Limb to show up because I think if Ceede Lamb 759 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 4: shows up in that game yesterday, I think they won 760 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 4: that ball game. 761 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,960 Speaker 3: As well said really well said, Yeah, I think that 762 00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 3: if you look at early in the game. They tried 763 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 3: to take some shots and some opportunities and had some 764 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 3: breakdowns at various times. Guys weren't open, you know, maybe 765 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,359 Speaker 3: the ball. You know, they take a deep shot down 766 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 3: the sidelines to Cook. It looks like to me it 767 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,760 Speaker 3: was defensive holding. The guy kind of gets a little 768 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 3: tug on the jersey there. They don't call it, but 769 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,759 Speaker 3: seemed like Ron Tolbert and that crew was going to 770 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 3: call every penalty known to man in that game yesterday. 771 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 3: They just didn't call that one. You know, you start 772 00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,320 Speaker 3: to think about some of the other throws that they had, 773 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 3: you know, the problems with some of the line, the 774 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 3: pressure unblocked Guy Hamilton one time getting home. You know, 775 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,919 Speaker 3: there was some things that they just did not do 776 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 3: in the first part of that game that was winning football. 777 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 3: You know, they just would have a breakdown here, or 778 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,240 Speaker 3: quarterback would make a decision here, you know, the quarterbacks 779 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 3: luck he didn't throw an interception, you know, right there, 780 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,920 Speaker 3: playing like a cover two look and he's trying to 781 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,919 Speaker 3: fit the ball inside. To Ferguson, that's a bad read. 782 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 3: I mean, he's thinking cover too, But what happens to 783 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 3: safety walks down we've talked about playing a robber, you know, 784 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 3: where the safety gets in the middle and then they 785 00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,680 Speaker 3: so they're trying to take away anything underneath. Well, he's 786 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 3: throwing the ball to Ferguson. He never sees the safety 787 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,480 Speaker 3: come down. He just throws the ball thinking Ferguson's going 788 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:45,480 Speaker 3: to be open there. The offense was just really no 789 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,920 Speaker 3: rhythm to it. And you're talking about Lamb and what 790 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 3: he he didn't do in this game. And there were 791 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 3: a couple of times where ball went the other guy 792 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:53,319 Speaker 3: and you could see it on tape where he's like 793 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,920 Speaker 3: he's like shrugging and you know, palms up, and but 794 00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 3: let me tell you this, his the one time they 795 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 3: did find some rhythm. His fumble was awful, Like the 796 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 3: worst possible time you could fumble in a game. 797 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,239 Speaker 4: Even if you just come away with three points. Right there. 798 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:12,920 Speaker 3: It's crazy. It's crazy how they're not doing anything anything 799 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,719 Speaker 3: up to that point and now they find a little 800 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,439 Speaker 3: rhythm moving the ball. The Texas routes, you know, they're 801 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,919 Speaker 3: kind of they're kind of bulp, they're kind of going 802 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 3: down the field, and then all of a sudden, you 803 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 3: get that fumble, you know, and you're and it's like 804 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 3: just totally just takes it out, you know, and then 805 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,359 Speaker 3: they didn't really come back. The Tucker miss field goal 806 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:35,400 Speaker 3: kind of got everybody. Okay, you know, defense is actually playing. 807 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,920 Speaker 3: You know, here we go and the Ravens will give 808 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:39,920 Speaker 3: it to you. Now we've we've talked about the Ravens. 809 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:41,839 Speaker 3: The Ravens will let you back. And we had Rod 810 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,719 Speaker 3: Woodson on the pregame show yesterday. Yeah, we have had 811 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,359 Speaker 3: some trouble finishing games here. You know, that's something. You know, 812 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,560 Speaker 3: the Ravens tried to kind of let you come back 813 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:53,319 Speaker 3: into this game. But you're right about CD and you know, 814 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 3: but his but his fumble was was is backbreaking of 815 00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,400 Speaker 3: a play of anyone you had. And they had a 816 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,800 Speaker 3: lot of bad plays just in run defense and stuff 817 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 3: like that, but that right there, they needed those points, 818 00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,640 Speaker 3: They needed that opportunity, and you know, they came away 819 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 3: with nothing. 820 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,200 Speaker 4: It was the only turnover in the game yesterday. Yeah, 821 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:13,960 Speaker 4: it was a back breaking Like you said. 822 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:15,560 Speaker 3: Well see and what I was talking about at the 823 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,840 Speaker 3: end when it was Clark, I went back and looked 824 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,399 Speaker 3: Clark had a chance. When you watch it, Henry's kind 825 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,240 Speaker 3: of in the air and the balls away and Clark's 826 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,560 Speaker 3: coming behind. That's a that's a punch out. And then 827 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,000 Speaker 3: the ball. You know, now you got bodies over there 828 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,600 Speaker 3: that could have been Dallas ball and you know, and 829 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,640 Speaker 3: now the momentum really is going your way, you know, 830 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 3: but they it's young guys. You got to know when 831 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:41,480 Speaker 3: you have a runner exposed, go for the ball, try 832 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 3: and knock that ball loose. 833 00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 5: Well, we've all played some type of sport of game 834 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:51,239 Speaker 5: where we've always been competitive and you get mad when 835 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,040 Speaker 5: you're losing and all of that. And you mentioned the 836 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,479 Speaker 5: whole CD Lambs reaction and we've seen the clips, even 837 00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:01,759 Speaker 5: Micah Parson and the Marcus Lawrence. Are you guys concerned at 838 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:06,719 Speaker 5: all about kind of the attitude that's being showcase and 839 00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:10,920 Speaker 5: shown right now or because we know one, yes, it 840 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:12,840 Speaker 5: can be part of the game and you being upset 841 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 5: and caring about it, but two, we can easily derail 842 00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,240 Speaker 5: to something else that you don't want to go. 843 00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 3: There or get. 844 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 4: There's only one thing that can fix it. 845 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,760 Speaker 2: And by the way you start winning, all that turns 846 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 2: into high fives and pats on the button. Hey man, 847 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,480 Speaker 2: we love you and all I'm seriously inappropriate, but it 848 00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 2: all it's all. It's all related to how are you performing? 849 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,280 Speaker 2: This is just a byproduct of what's happening on field. 850 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,800 Speaker 2: Guys are frustrated because they feel like they don't really 851 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:44,680 Speaker 2: and what it says to me more than anything else, 852 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:49,000 Speaker 2: is they don't have answers because you when you know 853 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,960 Speaker 2: the answer, then you're not as frustrated. You just know, Okay, 854 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:53,959 Speaker 2: we do this, we can do this. When you start 855 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,319 Speaker 2: getting where you're getting into it, that says to me, 856 00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,439 Speaker 2: there's a level of frustration, and that makes me think, 857 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 2: do they really know what the problem is. 858 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,600 Speaker 3: I think that fumble affected CD in a in a 859 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 3: bad way, definitely. I think I think at that point 860 00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,920 Speaker 3: in time, his attitude about you know, about how he 861 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:10,920 Speaker 3: was playing and what needed to be done, and he 862 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,080 Speaker 3: knew he tried had to try to make up for that, 863 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,960 Speaker 3: and he got more and more frustrated. I've I've made 864 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:19,440 Speaker 3: a living being on the sidelines of NFL games. You 865 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:23,279 Speaker 3: don't realize how much yelling and screaming really goes on 866 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:26,360 Speaker 3: in a game, at players and coaches, at coaches on 867 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:30,880 Speaker 3: players and players on coaches. I told stories before. You 868 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,279 Speaker 3: can't the number of f bombs that are that go 869 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,560 Speaker 3: back and forth, like you got to call this defense 870 00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 3: and you well, if I put you in this position, 871 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,320 Speaker 3: you've got to make the You know, there is a 872 00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,960 Speaker 3: lot of where the camera doesn't always pick up, but 873 00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:45,480 Speaker 3: there is. 874 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,799 Speaker 5: A different level of the world. 875 00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,879 Speaker 3: Well no, but but but but but but there's frustrating 876 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,480 Speaker 3: moments of a game, you know, where you're not playing, 877 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:55,560 Speaker 3: you're just getting the ball run down your throat. 878 00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:57,520 Speaker 2: And when they challenge each other, and they and they 879 00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:58,600 Speaker 2: do challenging. 880 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,200 Speaker 3: They do, they very much challenge each other. And you know, 881 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:04,520 Speaker 3: you but I've lived down there and people have asked me, 882 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,600 Speaker 3: what does it bother you? And I'm like, no, because 883 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,480 Speaker 3: I've seen it. I've seen it go, I've seen it happen, 884 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,279 Speaker 3: and then it made things actually better. Yeah, you know, 885 00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,239 Speaker 3: everybody kind of then just kind of racked. 886 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,040 Speaker 5: Well, the example that he brought up last year with 887 00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 5: CD of forty nine Ers game. 888 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,359 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think one thing that I brought about 889 00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,879 Speaker 4: this as well last night too, after that San Francisco game, 890 00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,640 Speaker 4: And what happened after the game last night after the 891 00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,160 Speaker 4: San Francisco game, he was in the locker room, he 892 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,600 Speaker 4: was challenging people, and he was also taking a little 893 00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 4: bit of accountability in his own right. Yesterday he was 894 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,000 Speaker 4: nowhere to be seen. And open locker room is going 895 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,080 Speaker 4: on right now as we're recording, and I hope Cede 896 00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:41,799 Speaker 4: Lamb is in there because he has questions to answer 897 00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:44,120 Speaker 4: at the end of the day. And you know, having 898 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,760 Speaker 4: that one hundred and sixty or excuse me, one hundred 899 00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:48,760 Speaker 4: and what is what is the what is the paycheck? 900 00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,520 Speaker 4: What four years thirty four million dollars for or whatever 901 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:56,680 Speaker 4: whatever it is? More than what that comes more responsibility, 902 00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:58,840 Speaker 4: and it also comes more accountability. And you got to 903 00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:00,800 Speaker 4: be able to answer to those things. And Dak Prescott's 904 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:02,400 Speaker 4: having to go to the podium and answer for you 905 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,719 Speaker 4: because you weren't in the locker room to answer that 906 00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,040 Speaker 4: answer those questions. You know that That's kind of where 907 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:08,880 Speaker 4: where I feel. 908 00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 2: Like up And one thing I will say is I 909 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,359 Speaker 2: loved how Trayvon after the game was accountable in that way, 910 00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,320 Speaker 2: like he stood up there and said, I got to 911 00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,920 Speaker 2: make that play, which he does like he is your 912 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:24,879 Speaker 2: big time yeah, big playmaking paid cornerback. And for there 913 00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,040 Speaker 2: to be a situation like that, We've come all this 914 00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:30,560 Speaker 2: way back into this game and it's a simple out 915 00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,640 Speaker 2: route and you're not there to make the play. Like 916 00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:35,799 Speaker 2: He's right, he's got to make that play. But I 917 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:37,960 Speaker 2: like the fact that he's accountable to that, and my 918 00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:41,399 Speaker 2: expectation is he will be better in future weeks as 919 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 2: a result of that. But that's that's the point. When 920 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:47,160 Speaker 2: you're the big time paid, relied upon player, when you 921 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,120 Speaker 2: are the face because of the amount of money that 922 00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:52,040 Speaker 2: you make, there's an expectation that you're going to deliver 923 00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,520 Speaker 2: in the most critical moments, in the moments when nobody 924 00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:56,880 Speaker 2: else is stepping up, that's when you should be the 925 00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,520 Speaker 2: one stepping up. And that's where I'm looking at at 926 00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:01,319 Speaker 2: CD and saying, hey man, this is what comes with 927 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,560 Speaker 2: the dinner when you get that big payday. This is 928 00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:04,160 Speaker 2: what comes with it. 929 00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:05,799 Speaker 5: I know we're about to end the show, but super 930 00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:10,720 Speaker 5: quick while were y'all's thoughts on the comments that Michaeh. 931 00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:17,560 Speaker 4: Parsons made, understanding and putting in an into context for 932 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,880 Speaker 4: what DeMarcus Lawrence also said. I think there's probably you 933 00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,120 Speaker 4: got the two leaders on that defensive side of the 934 00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:26,319 Speaker 4: ball vocally, who are DeMarcus Lawrence and Michael Parsons, And 935 00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:31,520 Speaker 4: I think sometimes they probably contradict each other and I 936 00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:34,919 Speaker 4: think one of those moments was yesterday and you see 937 00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,880 Speaker 4: the moments of frustration between DeMarcus Lawrence and Michael Parsons 938 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,040 Speaker 4: on the sideline, and you know that being amplified on 939 00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,399 Speaker 4: you know, Sports Center and whatever last night. I think 940 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,600 Speaker 4: when you take that into context of what the comments 941 00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:47,920 Speaker 4: Michael Parsons made, he's like everybody's trying to be Superman. 942 00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,880 Speaker 4: If everybody just does their job, like we'll be fine, 943 00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:52,560 Speaker 4: I think he also kind of needs to look in 944 00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:54,680 Speaker 4: the mirror and look a look at some sense in 945 00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:56,439 Speaker 4: some ways that he can do his job as well. 946 00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,160 Speaker 4: I a was hoping for a little bit more accountability 947 00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:02,240 Speaker 4: in that sense too, But nevertheless, at least he's speaking, 948 00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:03,839 Speaker 4: at least he's vocal about it, and at least he's 949 00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:07,000 Speaker 4: challenging others rather than you know, kind of sitting in 950 00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:07,960 Speaker 4: the corner and then walking out. 951 00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:11,920 Speaker 3: What bothered me yesterday I heard three different things Mike 952 00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:16,120 Speaker 3: McCarthy about preparation, Dak Prescott about preparation, and Tank Lawrence 953 00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:16,840 Speaker 3: about preparation. 954 00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:20,160 Speaker 5: Those comments made me raise an eyebrow, for sure, and 955 00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:21,440 Speaker 5: they were very clear about it. 956 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,160 Speaker 2: And when Dak talked about professionalism and was asked about 957 00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,600 Speaker 2: what that really means. It was all about hey, being 958 00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:28,600 Speaker 2: a pro. That means the amount of time he mentioned, 959 00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:30,200 Speaker 2: the amount of time you spend in the in the 960 00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:33,000 Speaker 2: in the watching film, like those are the kinds of 961 00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,279 Speaker 2: things that make me say, WHOA Is that a product. 962 00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:36,680 Speaker 4: Of being a young team? Is that a part oft 963 00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:38,080 Speaker 4: of being a young team or is it a product 964 00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,560 Speaker 4: of having too many immature bodies around? Because I I 965 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,279 Speaker 4: feel like whenever you look at the youth of the 966 00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,839 Speaker 4: team and the guys who are young, I don't feel 967 00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:47,160 Speaker 4: like those guys are immature. If you look at a 968 00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,040 Speaker 4: Tyler Guiden, or you look at Harris Lua Foul, if 969 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,279 Speaker 4: you look at a marshawn neland even though like a 970 00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:54,759 Speaker 4: Luke scoon Maker, these guys are not necessarily immature. 971 00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,240 Speaker 2: But youth would be a thing. If it was youth, 972 00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,000 Speaker 2: then then my question is how are they being led? 973 00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:00,960 Speaker 2: Because you know is when you're a young guy, you 974 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,000 Speaker 2: kind of going in looking around, like what do we 975 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,919 Speaker 2: do around? And if the vets are in there watching film, 976 00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,279 Speaker 2: you're probably thinking like I probably should be in there too. 977 00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:12,040 Speaker 5: We just got into the good conversation at a rundown 978 00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:12,640 Speaker 5: for tomorrow. 979 00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:19,479 Speaker 2: But you know, we'll get think about it getting good. 980 00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:22,920 Speaker 3: Dak Prescott's preparation is off the charts kind of stuff. 981 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:25,480 Speaker 3: You know, that's the thing that you know you're never 982 00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:28,080 Speaker 3: going to be to his level. But to me, when 983 00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,239 Speaker 3: he makes that coming and then McCarthy, that's the one 984 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 3: that got me because you're the head coach, you know, 985 00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,120 Speaker 3: and he's like, well, some weeks you could have bad 986 00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:37,839 Speaker 3: practices and play really well. And I'm like, so you're 987 00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:39,239 Speaker 3: telling me you didn't practice very well. 988 00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:42,160 Speaker 4: This Thursday's practice was really bad.
