1 00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: The following. 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 2: He is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and 3 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. 4 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:09,960 Speaker 1: Cowboys. 5 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 2: This is Cowboys Storyline with Nick Eatman. 6 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 3: Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It's Monday, September the sixteenth. I'm 7 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 3: Nick Eatman, and wow, we got some things to talk about. 8 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 3: That happened. That did happen like that? Saints forty four, 9 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:39,480 Speaker 3: Cowboys nineteen. Who expected that one? I know, I write 10 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 3: down the predictions when you guys throw them out there, 11 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 3: and I didn't see anything remotely close to that, one 12 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 3: way or another. Even blowouts for the Cowboys, certainly not 13 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 3: a blowout for the Saints. But that's what happened, and 14 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 3: we're gonna talk about it here. Eight eight eight eight 15 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 3: five five two two nine seven is the number to call. 16 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 3: I'm sure we have a lot of opinion about this, 17 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 3: and the personnel and the coaches and the players and 18 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,119 Speaker 3: the schemes and all this stuff of what went wrong, 19 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 3: and the easier, I mean, it'd be easier to just 20 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 3: find what went right. And I guess it's Brandon Aubrey. Okay, 21 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 3: that's it. Now we will move to the other sides. 22 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 3: And it was just bad all the way around. The 23 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,759 Speaker 3: defense could not stop anyone. You guys saw it. Six 24 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 3: touchdowns in a row by the Saints. They probably put 25 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 3: their foot off the gas in the second half. The 26 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 3: Cowboys were moving the ball, they just couldn't score touchdowns 27 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 3: and match them. And you know, touchdowns and field goals. 28 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 3: You know, even didn't take a math major to know 29 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 3: that that's not gonna add up. So that's what happened. 30 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 3: And you find yourself with a twenty five point blowout 31 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 3: at home, something that just hasn't happened around here in 32 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 3: a long long time. I just looked it up. It 33 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 3: was twenty twenty. Last time the Cowboys lost this bad 34 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 3: at home, it was to Arizona Kyler Murray in the game. 35 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 3: That was kind of like that that they just couldn't 36 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 3: stop them at all. So all right, let's uh, well, 37 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 3: we'll hear from you guys. The phone lines are already, uh, 38 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 3: the callers already calling in, so let's get after it here. 39 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 3: Alan Merkele, Texas is first, al what's up. 40 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 4: Hey man, what's going on? 41 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: Are you? 42 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 5: Hey? 43 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 4: Well, I'm good. The sunshine, you know, the sun rose 44 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 4: here in Merkele. 45 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 6: So it's good. 46 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 4: Uh, I have a quick analogy right quick, and then 47 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 4: I'm gonna ask you a question and I'm gonna get 48 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 4: off because I'm sure there's plenty of people that want event. 49 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 4: But I had an old fiddle player tell me one time, 50 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 4: you know, I'm a musician, and goes you know, once 51 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 4: you step on stage, you become an s O V. 52 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 4: And it's one of those that man that s O 53 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 4: we can surely play that instrument, or man that s 54 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 4: OV cannot play at all. And I think it's similar 55 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 4: to the last week we were going to the super 56 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 4: Bowl and this week we're not going anywhere. Yes, So, uh, 57 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 4: the question I had for you when I wasn't worried 58 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 4: about this game until I heard somebody's analogy and I 59 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 4: can't remember who did it, but they said that it 60 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 4: was a form of what the forty nine ers offense, 61 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 4: what they run or something like that. And once I 62 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 4: heard that, that's when I didn't become worried because it's 63 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 4: the second game of the season. But once I did 64 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 4: hear that, I was like, oh, oh, we may be 65 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 4: having problems. And like you said, man, we ran, we 66 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 4: were like a siff leading water through. I just want 67 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 4: to get through your opinion because I don't think I 68 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 4: was far enough to figure it out. But what is 69 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 4: it about this offense that gives us so much problem? 70 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 4: No matter who the coordinator is, no matter who the 71 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 4: players are. And I'll hang up and listen for your reply. 72 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 4: Thank you so much, Nick. 73 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 3: You know, I think that I appreciate the call. I mean, 74 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 3: what's given this this team problems? If you have some speedbacks, 75 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 3: quick backs that can get to the edge. I mean 76 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 3: that's and it's not necessarily like fast you know, fast 77 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 3: backs that are that run in the four to two range. 78 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: It's just you got to be quick off the edge. 79 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 3: But when you look at the backs that have kind 80 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 3: of hurt this team, even Aaron Jones is he's kind 81 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 3: of a quick scat back type, uh cook from uh 82 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 3: from Buffalo, Connor is you know, he's a big, big 83 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 3: guy in Arizona. But but he's also he can move. 84 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 3: I mean he was, he was moving pretty good that day. 85 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 3: And then of course Kamara is a he's kind of 86 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 3: a different beast. But but I think it's McCaffrey throw 87 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 3: throw that guy in there. So those those type of 88 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 3: backs have been the ones with this scheme, uh, you know, 89 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 3: with the play action, the deep ballu threat and then 90 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 3: and then once you get that working, I mean I 91 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 3: thought I thought the Saints did it perfectly for how 92 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 3: they how they scheme the game. They they said, we're 93 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 3: gonna throw crossing routes over the middle, and we're gonna 94 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 3: move the ball that way, and we're gonna kind of 95 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 3: soften them up. We're gonna hit hit Kamara every now 96 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 3: and to get on the edges. And then on the 97 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 3: second drive, we're gonna hit him deep over the top. 98 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 3: And then from there they could basically do what they 99 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 3: wanted to do. So it's a I say this all 100 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 3: the time, but it's about having an off fence that 101 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 3: can just win in multiple ways. And Derek Carr was 102 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 3: throwing it deep, throwing it short, throwing it over the middle, 103 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 3: running Kamara on the inside, running Kamorrow on the outside, 104 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 3: mixing up different backs, having reversus. 105 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 6: Uh. 106 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 3: They they did a really nice job. They were physical, 107 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 3: They were very physical at the line of scrimmage, and 108 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 3: they were smart with how they how they schemed against 109 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 3: Micah Parsons. They really didn't make him a factor in 110 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 3: the game. So you take away the best player and 111 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 3: and you you know, you you run at the edges, 112 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 3: make the cornerbacks tackle. 113 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's what they did. They made them be. 114 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 3: Physical, and the Cowboys weren't as physical in that game. 115 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 3: All right, let's go to Anthony and Miami. 116 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 7: Nat the quick. My god, what's up? How are you 117 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 7: trying to get the early one in? Got the old 118 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 7: lady in the store, So I said, many, let me 119 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 7: sit down in the car because it's trying to call 120 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 7: my guy. You know, we're going a little you know, 121 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 7: you know, we cleared the phone stuff, so you know 122 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 7: we're doing a little bit better. Yeah, things in the house. Yeah, 123 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 7: so check us out. One for you and Chris, one 124 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 7: for the fans. And then my point, you said, I'm 125 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 7: gonna segue into the Michael Parsons. Think that's my point. Okay, 126 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 7: for you and Chris. I love y'all, y'all, my guys 127 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 7: one hundred grand, but you know what, I'm never calling 128 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 7: y'all three times in one show. So to that guy, man, 129 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 7: kudos to you if you're trying to make the team 130 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 7: and all you love him, Nick dam like that. But 131 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 7: I love them, but I ain't call them three times 132 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 7: in one show. Number two to the fans, y'all, know, 133 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 7: these TV pungers and all these people, a lot of 134 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 7: them hate the Cowboys. They love to play games. Even 135 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 7: if the Cowboys win, they're gonna take to minish to win. 136 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 7: Don't listen to them, don't get a headache, don't don't 137 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 7: go to the tower and all run and all that 138 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 7: letting these people give y'all a headache because they're gonna 139 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 7: do it now. It was shame for what the Cowboys 140 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 7: put out there yesterday. So I feel for mister Jones. 141 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 7: I feel for the Cowboys players family and the fans, 142 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 7: not the players because they had to endure that and 143 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 7: a lot of it was scheme and a lot of 144 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 7: it was them. My last point and the one Michael 145 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 7: Parsons is becoming my second favorite president player now you know, 146 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 7: Dak Prescott is my favorite now with Michael. Yeah, he 147 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 7: said he took accountability and he didn't play well. He 148 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 7: didn't play well in the Green Bay game. But when 149 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 7: Michael Parsons's wrecking shop your best player, three time All 150 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 7: Pro in three years, well he's wrecking shopped. Everybody on 151 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 7: the D line eats as he did last week, so 152 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 7: nobody can to not add to the ones who wanted 153 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 7: him traded and hate him or whatever, dis liked you. 154 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 7: But when he's not doing it, can somebody help him? 155 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 7: Can they scheme up ways to get your best player 156 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 7: to get some action and help the team win. That's 157 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 7: all I want to say. Man, Cowboys for life, no 158 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 7: matter when lose a drawpfully we get this thing right, 159 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 7: Love you Nicknam. 160 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 3: All right, man, appreciate thank you for the call. Anthony, 161 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 3: good stuff. You're you're right about that. I mean, Michael's 162 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 3: not not playing. You know, he's not wrecking shop in 163 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 3: the game because he's just getting blocked one on one 164 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 3: and you know he can't. It's just not his day. 165 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 3: It's not the case. And if you go watch the game, 166 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 3: they do a really good job of scheming away from 167 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 3: him and then doing the backside, you know, help with 168 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 3: with the with whether it be a running back or 169 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 3: a tied end or even another lineman. So he was 170 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 3: getting doubled pretty much most of the game, not only doubled, 171 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 3: but then also you know, moved away from him. So 172 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 3: all that being said, with these awesome linebackers that that 173 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 3: we you know, we we were talking about all all week. 174 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 3: And then Tank on the other side and the defensive 175 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 3: tackles in the middle. You'd like to think somebody could 176 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 3: could help with that. And and again I'm not nobody's 177 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 3: getting a pass here unless you're Brandon Aubrey, because he 178 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,839 Speaker 3: did everything you were supposed to do. But other than that, 179 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 3: I mean no, I mean, I'm not I'm not saying 180 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 3: Micah played well. I'm just saying I think we know 181 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 3: what happened. You can take him away, but you can't. 182 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 3: You shouldn't be able to take a guy away and 183 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 3: then not give up something else. You know, think about 184 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 3: in any sport basketball, you double team someone, somebody's open, 185 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 3: and so you would think somebody from front of the 186 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 3: Cowboys would be able to make more plays like that. 187 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 3: But I mean they the Saints. Everything the Cowboys tried, 188 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 3: the scenes just had a better answer. And give them credit. 189 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: You have to. 190 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 3: You have to give them credit. The team barely practiced 191 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 3: last week. They had to move early, had to leave 192 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 3: move around because of the hurricane there, and they got 193 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 3: here I think earlier than they were supposed to. Either way, 194 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 3: it was kind of a dysfunctional week. You would have 195 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 3: never known because they were so good and everything they 196 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 3: were just I wouldn't even say a step ahead. They 197 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,079 Speaker 3: were like three steps ahead. And that's what happens. That's 198 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 3: how why you win by twenty five on the road. 199 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 3: All right, Bruce and Houston. 200 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 8: Hey, good morning, Nick Bruce. Thanks for taking my call. 201 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 8: One game don't make a season. We all know that, 202 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 8: but that was that was disgusting. Obviously, I'm from Houston 203 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 8: and I watched the Texans last night, and I know 204 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 8: this didn't affect the game, but my god, there was 205 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 8: more Saints fans in the stadium. You could hear them 206 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 8: throughout the game, not just in the fourth quarter or 207 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 8: after third quarter or when it was over. But stop 208 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 8: selling the stupid tickets and be a team and support 209 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 8: your team and and out yell the other team. There 210 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 8: might be a few uh yeah people that are rooting 211 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 8: for the other team, the Bears, but they drownded them out. 212 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 8: And that's just one little thing, but it to me, 213 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 8: you know, if McCarthy gets let gone, I think they 214 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 8: should go after a West Coast offense type coach. I mean, 215 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 8: because that that offense seems to just work so good. 216 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 8: Dack through a lot of good throws. It wasn't all 217 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 8: on him, but some of them left. His wide receivers 218 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 8: out to dry and and he's got to put some 219 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 8: zip on the ball. And we need that more from uh, 220 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 8: you know, the six and million dollar man. I realized 221 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 8: he didn't play defense. But and I'm afraid that I 222 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 8: think they're gonna need to trade Micah Parsons because he's 223 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 8: the A linebackers the defensive end, you know me. They 224 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 8: got to the edge so easy, Nick, and he's got 225 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 8: to contain that, and I didn't see that from him. 226 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 9: He's trying to. 227 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 8: Get the status of the sack. But do your position. 228 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 8: But I'll hang up a list hill. 229 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: All right, thanks, Bruce. 230 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 3: That right there is the epitome of a call for 231 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 3: this type of day, you know, and Bruce is he's 232 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 3: called several times. I think he was on All Storyline 233 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 3: team last year all that, and you can just hear 234 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 3: the frustration there. 235 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 10: You know. 236 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 3: He's I mean because you because it's like as a fan, 237 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 3: you you want to say the things like you do, 238 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 3: say the things you're supposed to say, Like first thing 239 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 3: out of your mouth, Bruce. One game doesn't make a season, 240 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,599 Speaker 3: but like forty five seconds later we're talking about it. 241 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 3: If McCarthy gets fired in another coach that comes in 242 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 3: or trading Michael Parsons. Like that's I get it, Like 243 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,319 Speaker 3: I under I understand. What what's the thought process of 244 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 3: Like just how you you want to say, all right, 245 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 3: it's early, it's early in the season, but you're already 246 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 3: kind of thinking, what if it's not good, what if 247 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 3: this thing doesn't work? 248 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: We got trade Micah, we got to get a new 249 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 1: West Coast offense. I get. 250 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not hating on the call at all. 251 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 3: I understand that. Like I'm like I'm saying, I kind 252 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 3: of go through that with my own team a little bit. 253 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,559 Speaker 3: You want to you want to be irrational in a 254 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 3: in an irrational you know, situation, which is kind of 255 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 3: what this seems to be. So yeah, no, nobody nobody 256 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 3: played well, I mean on on on defense for sure. 257 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,199 Speaker 3: Like it's it was just I mean, Micah Parson is 258 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 3: just supposed to play better than that. Uh, he said it. 259 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 3: He took accountability for it too, But like you know, 260 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 3: you you want him, but he needs help. I mean 261 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 3: they always they all need help, they all need help. 262 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 3: But you know the offense that he missed some throws too, 263 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 3: I mean he missed and uh and again him and 264 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 3: CD were off a little bit. I don't know who's 265 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 3: who's to blame there. Uh, you know, one guy was 266 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 3: in training camp. One guy wasn't you know you'd like 267 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 3: you'd like to think, well, Dak should know where where 268 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 3: he's throwing on that ball. And again, the slightest change 269 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 3: here and there can can make that throw. Talk about 270 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 3: the one where CD's you know, going down the scene. 271 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 3: I mean, it looks like it's right there. He throws 272 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 3: it more to the outside and straight on, and either 273 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 3: way it looked like it should have been a touchdown 274 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 3: for sure. Looked like he had Zeke in the flat. 275 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 3: He did have Zeke in the flat. That was probably 276 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 3: going to be a touchdown, if not close to the 277 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 3: first down sticks and instead they get a field and 278 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 3: then that's field goals. Now I get it. You lost 279 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 3: by you know, you lost by twenty five points. So 280 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 3: it's hard to just look at certain plays here and there. 281 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 3: And you guys, if you see on the website, have 282 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 3: done this article for fifteen sixteen years. Don't forget these 283 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 3: five plays, and you know those games like that, it's 284 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 3: it's hard to just find a play like this would 285 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 3: have changed everything. But you know, when you get early 286 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 3: in the game and you get touchdown chances and you 287 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 3: turn them into field goals. I mean that's a you know, 288 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 3: that's eight points right there. You know that you that 289 00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 3: you're leaving on the table. You know, I think what 290 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 3: they're down thirty five to sixteen, I mean, if it's 291 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 3: if it's thirty five to twenty four at the half, 292 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 3: I mean with the ball coming out of the second half, 293 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 3: I mean you're obviously thinking a little bit different there, 294 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 3: but you just you just couldn't couldn't keep up, you know, 295 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 3: at all. And that was that was a problem there 296 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 3: all right, Lewis and Langston, Oklahoma, Hey, what's going on? 297 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: Hey, Lewis? 298 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 7: Not much. I'm you know, I'm I'm. 299 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 11: Arguing with people in my fantasy league about Dak Prescott 300 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 11: and Jerry Jones, and I'm about to just put everybody 301 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 11: on do not distart because I look at the game 302 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 11: and I'm and I and I'm just blame to go 303 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 11: all around. You know, you can blame Dak if you 304 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 11: want too. He didn't play, he didn't play great, But 305 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 11: to me, it all started with the defense. When a 306 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 11: team can come into your house and score six times 307 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 11: without being stopped, you can't get them off on third down. 308 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 12: To me, paying Dak does nothing to you know, you, 309 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 12: you're basically put and Dak in a hole. Anyways, you're 310 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 12: telling Dak, hey, go play defense. If that's the case, 311 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 12: I don't and I don't understand why people The biggest 312 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 12: thing that like, I'm dealing with people at my job. 313 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 12: The first thing they want to say, so you just 314 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 12: shouldn't have paid Deck And I'm like, but Dak don't 315 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 12: play defense. He can't make a tackle. 316 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 3: Lewis, You've got to you know, you know, you know, 317 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 3: when it's fourth and one and the team's pin back 318 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 3: and then they're really gonna punt it. But they sit 319 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 3: there and they're hard counting, hard counting, hoping, hoping that 320 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 3: you would jump off sides. That's what these people are 321 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 3: doing in your office right there. I'm sorry that that's 322 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 3: exactly that's all they're trying to do. Is the people 323 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 3: that really don't have a football team, those are the 324 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 3: ones you gotta worry about. Those are not even worry about. 325 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 3: But those are the ones that that chirp. The ones 326 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 3: that don't they don't really have a team. 327 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: If you have, they have a team. 328 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 3: And maybe you know then they're they're winning, so you 329 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 3: know they're two and zero. Okay, you deal with that. 330 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 3: But if you you deal with that that person in 331 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 3: the office and you're like, who's your team and they're like, 332 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 3: I don't really I don't really like football, then you're 333 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 3: at the front door all. 334 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: Day long and lock it. 335 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 3: Okay, because that's the kind of stuff you gotta deal 336 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 3: with with that crap. And I have another point about Dak, 337 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 3: but go ahead. I'll let you finish off here. 338 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 7: Yeah. 339 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 12: No, I'm with you because it's one of those things 340 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 12: where their team is whoever is playing the Cowboys, and 341 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 12: I'm kind of like, okay, whatever, I'm not gonna argue 342 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 12: with you. That's fine. 343 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 4: But if you're going to have an. 344 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 11: Argument, have a valid argument. 345 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 12: And like I said, it's one of those things where 346 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 12: I'm talking to people and I'm kind of looking at 347 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 12: it like I'm not saying I'm not excusing Dak. He 348 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 12: the first interception, you know, the receiver slip, the second 349 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 12: interception back through into double coverage, I'm not excusing him. 350 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 12: But you can't run the ball. They're not even attempting 351 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 12: to run the ball anymore. I don't know what's going on, 352 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 12: Like is it aduce thing? Are you trying to figure 353 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 12: out who's gonna run the ball? Like I'm kind of 354 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 12: mad at McCarthy for doing that, Like once you see 355 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 12: that the scheme isn't working or the players, you're not 356 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 12: making the adjustice. That little past of turpence worked one 357 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 12: time and then you throw out four or five more 358 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 12: times and they sniff it out, So why not? Why 359 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 12: keep doing it? Like you know, it's one of those 360 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 12: things where you can't just blame to go all around. 361 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 12: And I just like you said, you being well, I 362 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 12: work at warehouse, but I'm in the warehouse arguing because 363 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 12: the first thing somebody want to say is this, well 364 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 12: Dak dack this and back then I'm like, so did 365 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 12: you even watch the game or did you watch highlights? 366 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 12: Because clearly the whole game it wasn't It wasn't Dak, 367 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 12: it was everybody else. So but I'll leave you with that. 368 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 12: You know, I'll listen. I ain't gonna stay on too long, 369 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 12: but yeah, like you said, everybody is frustrated right now, 370 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 12: but it's week two. 371 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 9: We'll move on. 372 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 12: I'm already trying to figure out what I'm gonna do 373 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 12: with the raven, so later. 374 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 3: All right, all right, list, I could just picture that, 375 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 3: I could just picture the warehouse. Those guys down there, 376 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 3: you know, don't have a team, just just want to 377 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,479 Speaker 3: just want to talk, you know, And didn't say anything 378 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 3: last week. Just last week, it didn't even didn't even 379 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 3: come up, you know, didn't even know about I wasn't 380 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 3: watching football last week. But this week is funny how 381 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,479 Speaker 3: everybody has opinion. That's that's that's the nature of it. 382 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 3: That's the that's the thing. You know that Dak signed 383 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 3: his contract last week actually, but but yeah, the contract 384 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 3: talk has come up a lot more and this week. 385 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,479 Speaker 3: It's funny how that how that happens. The thing is 386 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 3: about Dak is he again he didn't play well. We're 387 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,919 Speaker 3: not We're not We're not saying I'm not saying he 388 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 3: played well in the game. Uh, but I do think 389 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 3: that it's it's a challenge when number one, your defense 390 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,479 Speaker 3: isn't stopping anyone. So it's a touchdown every time. It's 391 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 3: a touchdown every time. Just to stay on pace here, 392 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 3: you have to score a touchdown every time. And not 393 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 3: only that, but now when you get to your side 394 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 3: of the ball, you've got to do it all because 395 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 3: there is no running game. There is no running game. 396 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 3: And I said last week, you guys were concerned, and 397 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 3: I said, it's one game. They ran it when they 398 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 3: needed to against the Browns. Then everything kind of changed, small, 399 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 3: simple size for me. Let's see what happens. Okay, now 400 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 3: we've had two weeks now. They needed to run the 401 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 3: football and they could not, and they were trying everybody 402 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 3: under the sun to try to run the football with 403 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 3: and and it's not working. So Dalvin Cook is I mean, 404 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 3: I would think he's got to be next. I mean, 405 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 3: he's got to be next up here. Well, I mean 406 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 3: why not Why bring him in if he if he's 407 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 3: not ready to go? So I mean, I mean, I 408 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 3: why bring me in if you're not gonna try him? 409 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 3: As weirdly what I'm saying, he wasn't ready. You put 410 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 3: him on the practice squad. But now now we'll see, 411 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 3: uh what happens. But you know, there's just a lot 412 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 3: that's a lot on on a on a quarterback when 413 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 3: you're not giving him any help on defense and no 414 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 3: help on a running game. And so it's like, all right, 415 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,479 Speaker 3: you got to score every time they moved it. They 416 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 3: moved it. But we know what happens when you can't 417 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 3: run the ball inside the twenty, you it's gonna be 418 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 3: it's gonna be tougher to score, and especially when when 419 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 3: you're down and teams are like, you can have. 420 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,360 Speaker 1: A field goal. We'll give you that. We'll give you, you. 421 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 3: Know, a little bit here and there, but we're not 422 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 3: giving you a lot more than that. So all right, 423 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 3: Robbie and Coco Beach, Florida, what's up? 424 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 10: Well, you know, it's a great day, the sun rose 425 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 10: and there's always next week and they and the Baltimore Ravens, 426 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,120 Speaker 10: right right, Yeah, I'm still concerned about our run game. 427 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 10: You just answered every question that was going to ask 428 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 10: in that last call, so I got a whole lot 429 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 10: to say. 430 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 3: That's all right, man, Robbie, who would you who would 431 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,479 Speaker 3: you try to put it in the running?

Two things, Two things Brandon Aubert spend 508 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 6: blessing in disguise. Right, when do you think we could say, well, 509 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 6: you know, we need this little gadget play or something 510 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 6: that could be just that little thing to turn the tie, 511 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 6: that turn the momentum. And special teams, you know, a 512 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 6: fake field goal or or you know, to go for 513 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 6: that extra four yards or the fake pond. You know, 514 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 6: because we haven't really seen much of that, when do 515 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,679 Speaker 6: you think we're going to be seeing more of that 516 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:11,439 Speaker 6: this season? And two, I don't know, I mean I 517 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 6: think I hate to say it, but these Cowboys need 518 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,919 Speaker 6: a hype man. You know when when when that team's 519 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 6: the other team scores a touchdown, it's like their face 520 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 6: you can see the expressions in their faces and you 521 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,120 Speaker 6: know they get blasted on TV and you know they're 522 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 6: looking with that empty stare. Do you think like a 523 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 6: hype man or a high person would be beneficial for 524 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 6: our team, you know, to kind of say hey, hey, 525 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 6: come on, you know, it's not how it's not how 526 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 6: you start, it's how you finish, you know, the game 527 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 6: sixty minutes. You know, we gotta we got to keep 528 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 6: our mind focused, you know through your reads, do you know, 529 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 6: Dak you know, stay focused every progression. Make sure you 530 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 6: go through one, two, three and four defense. You know, 531 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 6: stay in your gaps, stay in your lanes. You know, 532 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 6: don't be out of position. Even the coaches you know say, hey, 533 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 6: you know, change it up. Do you think a position 534 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 6: like that would be beneficial to to to? I don't know, 535 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 6: to change it up a little bit, because it's kind 536 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 6: of that's like what we always see, you know that 537 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 6: the team comes and scores and all of a sudden, 538 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 6: you know, they put DA's blank stare on the TV 539 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,639 Speaker 6: or or it's not so much just that, but you know, 540 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 6: any player. Yeah, but anyway, hope you all are good, 541 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 6: DoD bless you guys, Stay safe and go Cowboys? 542 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 1: All right? 543 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 3: Albert? You know, all I can think of is when 544 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 3: you're saying that, is that I don't know where the 545 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 3: Cowboys rank in the league in assistant coaches, but they've 546 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 3: got to be up there, Okay. I mean I feel 547 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 3: like there's like twenty five to thirty assistant coaches. 548 00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:57,919 Speaker 1: One of those. 549 00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 3: Guys you should be able to do that, and it 550 00:26:59,480 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 3: feel like. 551 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: That they do. 552 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 3: And you know, I don't like to always throw contracts 553 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 3: and money out there, but you know, it's a profession. 554 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: And this is in college. It's not high school where you. 555 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,679 Speaker 3: Know, there's some guy on the sidelines with some you know, 556 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,679 Speaker 3: medium T shirt and a fake mustache and all that. 557 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 3: And they don't need to have a chain and a belt. 558 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,160 Speaker 3: And when they get a turnover, I mean you get 559 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 3: that every other or every Tuesday when they get paid. 560 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 3: I mean, they that is their incentive to go out 561 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 3: there and do everything they're supposed to and be hyped 562 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 3: up and be ready and be prepared and all this 563 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:40,239 Speaker 3: kind of stuff. I just think if Dak throws an 564 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,120 Speaker 3: interception and he's sitting there and then who's gonna come 565 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 3: over and say, hey, you know, it's okay, pick it up. 566 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 3: I mean, I just disagree with that because I don't 567 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 3: they have enough guys like that. They have players, I mean, 568 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 3: think about it, every practice squad player is sitting there 569 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 3: eating sunflower seeds. I mean, they have those guys, but 570 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 3: at the end of the day, you've got to be 571 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 3: the one to go and make the play. So you know, 572 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 3: if you can't get hyped by by what's in front 573 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 3: of you and winning the game. I mean, I don't 574 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 3: know if if if some some practice squad running back 575 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 3: or a quality control coach or whoever else is going 576 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 3: to be able to do it. I mean that's my 577 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 3: take on that. All right, Bob and Rio grand Valley. 578 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 5: Good morning, Nick. Hey Bob, I'll tell you what, Like 579 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,919 Speaker 5: the rest of the listeners, I didn't see this coming 580 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 5: at sure caught me unaware. Yeah, a couple of observations. 581 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 5: If I may at two yards to carry, isn't gonna 582 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 5: cut it, Dudes, isn't gonna cut it. We need doubt, 583 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 5: We need Dalvin cooking there and if he, if he 584 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 5: doesn't get the job done, I don't know what we're 585 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 5: gonna do about the running game. But let me tell 586 00:28:54,040 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 5: you what. At the defense. Our defense didn't get gassed yesterday. 587 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 5: A hell they want to deal long enough to get gassed. 588 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 5: The Saints were scoring it will they came in and 589 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 5: took us like granted, Richmond, I don't know what the 590 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 5: answer is, but I'll tell you one thing. We sure 591 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 5: need to regroup. McCartney in the in the gang need 592 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 5: to huddle up and make some decisions and go a 593 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 5: different direction because yesterday is definitely not gonna cut it. 594 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 1: Agreed, I agreed. 595 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 3: And I think they know that. Thank you for the call. 596 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 3: I think, I mean, I think they know everyone would 597 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 3: know this is not going to cut it. You can't 598 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 3: obviously can't lose to a Saints team at home. And 599 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 3: who knows how good the Saints are. I mean, maybe 600 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 3: they are good. I mean, but it doesn't matter. I mean, 601 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 3: it doesn't matter who it is. If if you're the 602 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 3: type of team that you think you're going to be, 603 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 3: you shouldn't be losing to anybody, you know, by by 604 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 3: twenty five points or whatever. So it's it's a it's 605 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 3: a wake up call for sure. And now we'll see 606 00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 3: we'll see what they're made of. We'll see how they 607 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 3: how they were spawned, and we'll see how you know, 608 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 3: when Baltimore comes in. I mean, they're gonna be desperate too. 609 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 3: I mean, they're oh and two and they probably feel 610 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 3: like they should be too, and oh. 611 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: But they're not. So it's they're they're gonna be ready 612 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 1: to go in. 613 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 3: And you know, if you thinks stopping and I'm watching 614 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 3: the highlights of Alvin Kamara. You know, stopping him in 615 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 3: the open field is going to be tough. I mean, 616 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 3: how about Lamar Jackson, who also can throw it, and 617 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 3: so you know, just he the the dynamic of trying 618 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 3: to stop him is going to be tough. So they're 619 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 3: gonna have to figure out something there with their linebackers. 620 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 3: I was disappointed by the way that they played. I 621 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 3: thought they were very you know, man handled. 622 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 7: Was there. 623 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 3: It was was what I kept seeing. I mean that 624 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 3: I think that they got they got handled in every way. 625 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 3: And you know, Kendricks didn't look the same over shown 626 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 3: wasn't out there A whole lot and a lot of 627 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 3: questions about that. Why why wasn't he uh there as much? 628 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 3: So you know, it's one of those things where it's 629 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 3: it's one game, but it was a bad one, and 630 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 3: it was a very bad one. And now we'll see 631 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 3: how they you know, if this is really what they 632 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 3: are or Jerry Jones and Mike McCarthy and Dak everyone 633 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 3: said like, this is not who we are. So but 634 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 3: you know that's the thing. You give fifteen more chances 635 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 3: to kind of prove one way or another. All right, 636 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 3: let's go to rob in Vegas. 637 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 13: Hey, Nick, Hey, Rob, Listen, it was a disaster. But 638 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 13: what really bothered me is that I thought I was 639 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 13: watching the Packers playoffs game. It looked exactly like that. 640 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 13: A team came in we didn't you know, Cowboys were 641 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 13: favored home and the game started off. They got punched 642 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 13: in the mouth, but they never recovered. And listen, it's 643 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 13: only we two. But there are some tendencies that were see. 644 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 13: This defense is built for third down. It's not built 645 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 13: for first and second. The teams that are able to 646 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 13: get us and third and shot but usually have their 647 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 13: way with this defense. Micah, as great as he is, 648 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 13: he's not good against the run when they run at him, 649 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 13: you know. And he's even smaller this year. I think 650 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 13: they said by about ten pounds. So if you saw 651 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 13: the game, that's what they did. They ran right at 652 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 13: him offensively. I don't think Dak trusts the O line yet. 653 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 13: I don't think Mike McCarthy trusts the O line yet. 654 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 13: I don't think they were very good. I thought Guyton 655 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:33,959 Speaker 13: struggled and Steele struggled. And we've seen in the past 656 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 13: that if Dak doesn't trust his left tackles, he doesn't 657 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 13: play good. Now, I didn't think he played bad. He 658 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 13: was put in a bad spot. We have no playmakers 659 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 13: on offense or that didn't see Lamb. They need to 660 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 13: find another wide receiver. I can make a play, break 661 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 13: a tackle. Maybe try to fly Noise Brooks. I've seen 662 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 13: enough of him. 663 00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 5: Huh. 664 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 13: Try try to other kid. Running games. You can't jete 665 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 13: the running game are okay, we've been down by so 666 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 13: much now. I do believe this week you send you 667 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 13: bring up Cooks and you bench Duice on due one 668 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 13: gives you nothing. As much as we like the kid, 669 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 13: he's just too much of a liability and pass protection. 670 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 13: So when he's in the game, they pretty much know 671 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 13: it's going to be a run. 672 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 15: Yeah. 673 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 13: Yeah, you can't jump ship yet. But the only thing 674 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 13: that bothers me is this defense. They're going to see 675 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 13: it in seven days six days now, the same thing 676 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 13: the Ravens are going to punch them in the mouth, 677 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 13: that the Eagles are going to punch him in the mouth. 678 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 13: The Lions are going to punch That's what teams are 679 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 13: going to do because they know the Cowboys are built 680 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 13: not only physically, but I think it's more so mentally. 681 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 13: They want to play third down. Michael Parsits wants every 682 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 13: down to be third and seven. He doesn't want to 683 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 13: get block by a guided out weighs and by almost 684 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 13: one hundred pounds. And that's what you saw. And yes, 685 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 13: I don't understand the over showed thing. The monk clock 686 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 13: to me is not good. He wasn't good last year. 687 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 13: He gets blown up overshow did not play great when 688 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 13: I've seen him. But I would definitely ride over shown 689 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 13: over the monk clock. 690 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 7: I don't know. 691 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 13: Maybe Zimma will say why he was benched. Also, Zeke 692 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,399 Speaker 13: was benched in the beginning. I don't know. Maybe there's 693 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 13: something going on there, but that's the only thing that Bob. 694 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 13: This offense has not looked good for two weeks. You know, 695 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,799 Speaker 13: they just they just look okay, Ceedee, Lamb and Dak. 696 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 13: I thought I predicted they were going to go off 697 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 13: and they did, but they didn't. Uh, they're not on 698 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,840 Speaker 13: the same page. But honestly, I think it's that's clock 699 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 13: is that this offense is not comfortable. 700 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 1: You see. 701 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 13: Everything is like a struggle right now just to get 702 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,880 Speaker 13: first downs. The play calling is. 703 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:54,640 Speaker 4: Kind of odd. 704 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,320 Speaker 13: They're not pushing the ball down the field. They're trying 705 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 13: to reverse after reverse that trying is some of the 706 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,840 Speaker 13: guys that they're trying to feed the ball too. I'm like, 707 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,840 Speaker 13: why you know, but we can't panic it? 708 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 5: What panic? 709 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 8: Yeah? 710 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 1: Right, well all right, Rob, thank you. Yeah. 711 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 3: If you listen to your call and you're and then 712 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 3: you ask people not to panic, I mean, I mean 713 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 3: the people that trust trust the things you say or 714 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 3: are probably going to panic because you you did did 715 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,439 Speaker 3: throw a lot of stuff out there that didn't sound good. 716 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 1: I hear you, though I didn't. I don't disagree with 717 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 1: most of that at all. 718 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 3: I do think though it's it's not too early to 719 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 3: say that the running game is a problem because it 720 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,360 Speaker 3: they Yes, you lost by twenty five points, but but 721 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 3: you can still run the football when you need to 722 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 3: to get down there and score. Just because you're down 723 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 3: by twenty one or eighteen or whatever and you're down 724 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,960 Speaker 3: inside the red zone, that doesn't mean you can't run it. 725 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a lot of time left, so score. 726 00:35:58,840 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 1: That's what you got to do. 727 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 3: You got to score touchdowns. But you're right, I think 728 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 3: it's time to see Dalvin Cook. 729 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:08,399 Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm yeah. 730 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 3: You got Derrick Henry coming to town with with Lamar 731 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 3: Jackson there, and they're gonna they're certainly gonna gonna run 732 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 3: the ball. I mean the difference though, is is you 733 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 3: think I mean Carr. Carr was phenomenal, phenomenal throwing the 734 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,239 Speaker 3: football down the field. I mean he was, he was, 735 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,360 Speaker 3: he was perfect and in a lot of his passes, 736 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,840 Speaker 3: and so uh, some of those teams you mentioned they 737 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 3: don't have quarterbacks like that that they have different type 738 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:35,279 Speaker 3: of quarterback that that'll scare you in different ways. But yeah, 739 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 3: it's gonna it's gonna be a challenge all. 740 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 1: The way through. 741 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:37,839 Speaker 10: Though. 742 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 3: You're right though, that's the recipe. He's try to run 743 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,360 Speaker 3: the ball, and there's no secret. I mean, that's what 744 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 3: they tried last year. Tried to do the exact same 745 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 3: thing last year. Just didn't work all the time. But 746 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 3: when when teams do get to run the ball, they 747 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 3: get the lead, they get comfortable, they're running it, and 748 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 3: they're playing downhill. That's the recipe that we're seeing to 749 00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,399 Speaker 3: beat the Cowboys, all right, Jeremy and Salt Lake City? 750 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,919 Speaker 15: Hey, Nick, what a difference do we makes? 751 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 5: Huh? 752 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 15: Yeah? Yeah, Well, you know a lot of things Rob 753 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:13,320 Speaker 15: said rapped before me. I'm right right, kind of in 754 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:17,439 Speaker 15: lockstep with As far as the running game, I think, 755 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 15: you know everybody's well he said something about Deuce. The 756 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 15: guy that really just has been more disappointing than anybody 757 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 15: is is Rico. 758 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 5: Man, he was. 759 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:32,279 Speaker 15: Supposed to be just, you know, the guy that has 760 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:36,120 Speaker 15: all the juice and and uh and you know he's 761 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,719 Speaker 15: shown it kind of in the past. But you know, 762 00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,840 Speaker 15: Zeke has given us pretty much what we all expected. 763 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,480 Speaker 15: He had actually a couple of nice runs. Deuce had 764 00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 15: a nice run or two. But it just seems like 765 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,800 Speaker 15: Rico is the guy that's really not really given anything 766 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 15: extra as far as I'm concerned. And then, you know, 767 00:37:55,960 --> 00:38:00,120 Speaker 15: the biggest thing I thought, and obviously we got ran on, 768 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:04,319 Speaker 15: but this pass rush is nothing like it was last year, 769 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 15: and that really scares me. I think the loss of 770 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:14,680 Speaker 15: Sam Williams is really starting to to be felt. There 771 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 15: were times when Derek Carr had all day to throw 772 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:22,520 Speaker 15: yesterday and then and you know, the past three years, 773 00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,400 Speaker 15: we've never We're not that defense. We're not that defense 774 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:29,320 Speaker 15: where the quarterback can sit back and pick us apart. Obviously, 775 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:31,920 Speaker 15: just like Rob said, it looked a lot like that 776 00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 15: Green Bay game, and it scares me. I mean, I 777 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 15: know we always kind of have a turd in the 778 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 15: middle of the in the in the very beginning of 779 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 15: the season, you know, we had that one game that 780 00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 15: we always looked back on in like the Arizona game 781 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:51,080 Speaker 15: last year, and but this one really really made me nervous. 782 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,160 Speaker 15: How it looked a lot like that Green Bay game, 783 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:58,880 Speaker 15: because you know, it's just it's just being inconsistent. But 784 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,239 Speaker 15: I think that passed rush are the key because that's 785 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,799 Speaker 15: what really set us apart in previous years. And and man, 786 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,719 Speaker 15: it's it's looking a little anemic now. But you know, 787 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 15: like I said, every every week to New Week, I'm 788 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,719 Speaker 15: not going to give up now. You know, it's not 789 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 15: all doom and gloom, but but I think we need 790 00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:20,840 Speaker 15: a shot in the arm. Obviously a little bit in 791 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,439 Speaker 15: the running game made with Cook, but that pass rush 792 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,799 Speaker 15: I think is something that we all need to kind 793 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 15: of look at and and and evaluate. But I'll get off. 794 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,000 Speaker 15: But thanks a lot for all you do, guys. 795 00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,719 Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Jeremy, appreciate that. You know, I'm 796 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:36,000 Speaker 1: I'm with you. 797 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,879 Speaker 3: I was expecting more at a Rico and then they've 798 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:43,319 Speaker 3: gett you know, they'd give him some opportunities there Zeke 799 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,640 Speaker 3: is kind of what it is, you know, but you 800 00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,840 Speaker 3: thought there'd be a little bit more juice with Rico 801 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,360 Speaker 3: or or Deuce or or somebody, and it. 802 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,360 Speaker 1: Just it just hasn't. It hasn't happened. 803 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,839 Speaker 3: So they're gonna it's back to the drawing board there 804 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 3: and maybe that that's Dalvin Cook as for pass rush, 805 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,800 Speaker 3: you're right, I mean, you know Sam Williams that was 806 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:05,799 Speaker 3: supposed to be the guy. You know that they let 807 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:09,399 Speaker 3: Dorence Armstrong go and and and uh Dante Fowler left 808 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,759 Speaker 3: and and it was supposed to be you know, really 809 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:16,560 Speaker 3: relying heavily on on Sam Williams to kind of step 810 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,920 Speaker 3: up and and and in that year three and do it. 811 00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,439 Speaker 3: Unfortunately he had the injury. And now that they've tried 812 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 3: to piece that together, and uh that they've tried to 813 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,080 Speaker 3: find some defensive ends so far that you know that 814 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,320 Speaker 3: they didn't really find one that that they it's not 815 00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,239 Speaker 3: even on the roster all the guys that they brought 816 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,719 Speaker 3: in at camp. So they're still they're still struggling there 817 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 3: and and uh there it hasn't you know, hasn't hasn't 818 00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 3: been the same. It's only been two games, but still Uh, 819 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:42,680 Speaker 3: you know, the pass rush was there for sure in 820 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:43,319 Speaker 3: the first game. 821 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:44,239 Speaker 1: It just wasn't here. 822 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,160 Speaker 3: And and I think the difference is is that it's 823 00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 3: the run defense. When you not stop in the run, 824 00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,920 Speaker 3: then you don't have to throw the ball. I mean 825 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:53,920 Speaker 3: they don't have to throw it. So uh, that's that 826 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,000 Speaker 3: was the problem. When they do, they've got it schemed really, 827 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,640 Speaker 3: really perfect in this game.

We've got Tim 854 00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:31,080 Speaker 3: and Grapevine calling Tim. 855 00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:33,719 Speaker 1: What's up, mister Nick? 856 00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:34,520 Speaker 17: It's been a while? 857 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:35,040 Speaker 1: Yeah? 858 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:35,839 Speaker 10: Wow. 859 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,480 Speaker 17: I had to clean my eyeballs out with soap and 860 00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 17: water after that performance. That was about as bad as 861 00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,279 Speaker 17: I've seen on defense in a long, long, long, long time. 862 00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:48,759 Speaker 17: But I don't want to talk about the defense. I 863 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:52,560 Speaker 17: know that's an issue, you know what, They'll find some 864 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 17: sort of a band aid. But the offense was equally 865 00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:57,040 Speaker 17: as bad. 866 00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:01,359 Speaker 1: I know they towour some points, but I'm sorry, I'm sorry. 867 00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:07,760 Speaker 17: Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. The EPA on offense 868 00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:11,360 Speaker 17: was terrible. Points for Drive obviously spoke for itself, and 869 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:16,520 Speaker 17: at this juncture, I mean, that's McCarthy's, that's his baby, 870 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 17: if you will, this is his second season and control 871 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,279 Speaker 17: of the offense, and they just I know there might 872 00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:26,840 Speaker 17: be a talent issue, but there's no creativity, there's no movement. 873 00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,879 Speaker 17: They don't stress the defense. All you have is CD 874 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:33,480 Speaker 17: lambs athleticism and talent. You don't even really move him 875 00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:34,799 Speaker 17: to get him in mismatches. 876 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:36,640 Speaker 7: And so at this. 877 00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:41,040 Speaker 17: Point, maybe I'm too negative or pessimistic. This feels like 878 00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:42,960 Speaker 17: a lame duck season. 879 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:44,359 Speaker 5: Tell me I'm wrong. 880 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:50,360 Speaker 3: Well, okay, all right, Jim, I mean it's I'm not 881 00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,239 Speaker 3: going to ever say that. I mean it's week two 882 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,919 Speaker 3: and and you've played every I mean, the first game 883 00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,399 Speaker 3: there was a lot of what's not to like? Second game, 884 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:04,440 Speaker 3: what's the like? So I mean, if it's just not 885 00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,160 Speaker 3: gonna I mean I say it all the time. I 886 00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,279 Speaker 3: use the roller coaster analogy, and this is exactly what 887 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,400 Speaker 3: it is. This is this the highs and the lows 888 00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,799 Speaker 3: and and they're they're one and one. They're one one. 889 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,520 Speaker 3: I mean, that's this is kind of where they are 890 00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:19,879 Speaker 3: right now. Let's see what happens in the next few 891 00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,120 Speaker 3: weeks to see. But I think I think the issue 892 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,719 Speaker 3: I keep I can't truss enough. It's the running game. 893 00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:26,399 Speaker 3: It's the running game on both sides of the ball. 894 00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,120 Speaker 3: That's that's the thing. If you can figure out how 895 00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,279 Speaker 3: to run the football, they've got to do that. They've 896 00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:34,759 Speaker 3: got to figure out ways to run this football. If 897 00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:38,080 Speaker 3: they need to trade for somebody that's that's there back 898 00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,640 Speaker 3: up running back and get into the next year's draft, 899 00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:45,000 Speaker 3: clasp do that. Then somebody that's got some juice that 900 00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,000 Speaker 3: can help this running game that that's what they need. 901 00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,440 Speaker 3: And so that's that's what I would be looking for. Uh, 902 00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,200 Speaker 3: if I'm the cow, maybe it's an Dalvin cook But 903 00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:58,640 Speaker 3: if you do that, imagine like miraculously, I think Brandon 904 00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,640 Speaker 3: Cookes is better, and Jake Ferguson is better, and all 905 00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,120 Speaker 3: of the guys around are Jalen Tolbert are better. If 906 00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,120 Speaker 3: you've got somebody that can just run the ball, all right, 907 00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,040 Speaker 3: let's go to Seth in sugar Land, Texas. 908 00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:13,480 Speaker 9: It's a dark day. But we still live. We live 909 00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:14,440 Speaker 9: to fight another day. 910 00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:15,319 Speaker 1: Nick, That's right. 911 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,400 Speaker 9: So one of the things that I, uh, you know, 912 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,719 Speaker 9: I've I've heard Rob, I've heard everybody. You know, I 913 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:25,439 Speaker 9: totally get what everybody is saying. I think it's really 914 00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:29,879 Speaker 9: interesting that the defensive line for me is the real 915 00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,520 Speaker 9: is the real challenge, Like in going back and watching 916 00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,759 Speaker 9: you know a lot of the running plays that the 917 00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:39,040 Speaker 9: Saints ran, like their ability to zone block and then 918 00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,920 Speaker 9: combo off of one another and just really grinding the 919 00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,279 Speaker 9: defensive line into the grounding entire game. And even when 920 00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,680 Speaker 9: Zimmer brought you know, the run blitz is from the secondary. 921 00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:55,760 Speaker 9: Taysom Hill as a fullback was absolutely you know, opening 922 00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:59,200 Speaker 9: up massive lanes because our safety simply don't have the 923 00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,279 Speaker 9: beef to come down into the box and blow up 924 00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:04,880 Speaker 9: a fullback like it was a It was a perfectly 925 00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:11,520 Speaker 9: planned strategy from that Shanahan style offense, which says, Okay, 926 00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,640 Speaker 9: bring a guy into the box, I'll play old school 927 00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,040 Speaker 9: with a fullback and I'm not gonna and when we're 928 00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:18,799 Speaker 9: still going to run the ball. And Alvin Kamara looked 929 00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:23,360 Speaker 9: twenty years younger than what he is, and to me, 930 00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:28,120 Speaker 9: our defensive line becomes hesitant when they get when the 931 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:32,359 Speaker 9: when they get down by ten points or more, it's 932 00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:37,000 Speaker 9: almost like everyone freezes. It feels like everyone loses their 933 00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:40,120 Speaker 9: instincts to play fast, which is why the Saints look 934 00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:42,480 Speaker 9: so fast on offense. I mean, obviously they have speed 935 00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:47,680 Speaker 9: on offense, but even Micah sometimes he hesitates when when 936 00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:50,319 Speaker 9: they run right at him and he can't he can't 937 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,600 Speaker 9: seal the edge. He's not big enough and he's and actually, 938 00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,279 Speaker 9: this is actually a bigger issue is the guys are 939 00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:59,080 Speaker 9: always talking about we need to get bigger up front, 940 00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:01,160 Speaker 9: we need to get bigger in the defensive line. I 941 00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:03,480 Speaker 9: don't want to get bigger on the defensive line. I 942 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:07,520 Speaker 9: want to get stronger on the defensive line. And I 943 00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:09,680 Speaker 9: think that's our one of our big challenges is the 944 00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:13,840 Speaker 9: defensive line doesn't look strong, uh, and they're getting They 945 00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:17,719 Speaker 9: got turned easily by what is probably looking to be 946 00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:20,160 Speaker 9: one of the top ten offensive lines in the NFL 947 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:21,440 Speaker 9: from the first two weeks. 948 00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:25,040 Speaker 3: Yep, they got man handled up front. I mean front seven, 949 00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:29,640 Speaker 3: moved moved around, moved from side to side, turned, I 950 00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:33,319 Speaker 3: mean everything that that that they wanted to do they did. 951 00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,319 Speaker 3: I mean it was a it was a perfect game 952 00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:37,839 Speaker 3: by the Saints, and they look really good right now. 953 00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:38,560 Speaker 1: I mean they do. 954 00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:42,040 Speaker 3: Their quarterback is playing within himself. Their running back is 955 00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,759 Speaker 3: as dynamic as he's ever been. They've got speed on 956 00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:46,560 Speaker 3: the receivers. They got a playmaker in. 957 00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:51,279 Speaker 9: What I and I was like, this is awesome thing 958 00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:54,120 Speaker 9: people keep saying. This reminded me of the Green Bay game. 959 00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,359 Speaker 9: This reminded me of the Green Bay game. And one 960 00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,920 Speaker 9: of the reasons it does is because Dallas for the 961 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:03,600 Speaker 9: last two weeks has run primarily zone and that's because 962 00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:08,239 Speaker 9: probably they're trying to protect the rookie cornerback, right. And 963 00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:11,360 Speaker 9: last year when Dallas was very successful, they were running 964 00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,520 Speaker 9: man to man, right. And I think when they did 965 00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:17,600 Speaker 9: Deron Bland back, you know, and he gets you know, 966 00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:21,040 Speaker 9: his playing legs back underneath him. I'm pretty sure Zimmer 967 00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:23,319 Speaker 9: will go back to the strength of playing man to man, 968 00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:25,800 Speaker 9: which then frees up those safeties to help more in 969 00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:26,480 Speaker 9: the running game. 970 00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,560 Speaker 3: Yep, because they're not I don't think that's their strength 971 00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:31,520 Speaker 3: to play zone back there. And then you saw it 972 00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:34,080 Speaker 3: in that in that deep touchdown. But like you know, 973 00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:37,160 Speaker 3: Malie Cooker, you know he's done that. Thanks for the call. 974 00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,840 Speaker 3: Seth appreciate that. Uh, and he has to be our 975 00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,160 Speaker 3: last call today. But but yeah, you know, and I 976 00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:45,880 Speaker 3: think donm and Wilson. I mean, he's a he's just 977 00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,160 Speaker 3: a few pounds away from being a linebacker. I mean 978 00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:50,920 Speaker 3: that's really a style that he plays, the mentality that 979 00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,120 Speaker 3: he is now, he's a he's a playmaker. Though he 980 00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:56,640 Speaker 3: gets interceptions, he makes plays. But I think he's better 981 00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:58,560 Speaker 3: closer to the line of scrimmage than he is back 982 00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:02,400 Speaker 3: deep and hooker. I think can play it. But I'd 983 00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:04,480 Speaker 3: like to see a little bit more one safety high. 984 00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:07,240 Speaker 3: But you're right, You're right. I think they are protecting 985 00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:09,080 Speaker 3: the corners a little bit, and not only him, but 986 00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:12,680 Speaker 3: probably protect protecting you know, Trayvon Diggs coming back from 987 00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:14,600 Speaker 3: injury as well. But but teams are going right at 988 00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,200 Speaker 3: him running the ball and trying to make him be physical. 989 00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:19,200 Speaker 3: So if you if you look at what they're doing, 990 00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,600 Speaker 3: who's the best players, who's their top top guys on defense? Well, 991 00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:24,840 Speaker 3: you got Digs at corner, you got Micah Parsons, and 992 00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:26,839 Speaker 3: teams are running right at them and they're not doing 993 00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,680 Speaker 3: the things that you know that that make them great 994 00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,239 Speaker 3: of letting them brush the passer and letting them go 995 00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:34,759 Speaker 3: and get interceptions and things like that. It's doing things 996 00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,000 Speaker 3: that they're not as comfortable doing. And you can do 997 00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:38,960 Speaker 3: that when when you're when you got the lead, you're 998 00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:43,160 Speaker 3: you're you're you're dictating what they want to do on offense. 999 00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:47,120 Speaker 3: And that's the Saints did that to perfection. So that's 1000 00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:49,080 Speaker 3: that's the way I saw it. And uh, you know, 1001 00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:52,160 Speaker 3: I I agreed with a lot of the callers today. 1002 00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:54,279 Speaker 3: I thought you guys did a really nice job of 1003 00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:57,880 Speaker 3: keeping the frustrations and check and and and uh and 1004 00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:00,400 Speaker 3: you know, I I get it. I I hear it, 1005 00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,600 Speaker 3: and and they should be frustrated because it is early. 1006 00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:07,080 Speaker 3: But but that's not a good sign getting beat by 1007 00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:09,800 Speaker 3: twenty five points at home to a team that, you know, 1008 00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,560 Speaker 3: you who knows how good they are, but but you know, 1009 00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:16,480 Speaker 3: traditionally haven't been good. Derek Carr has not been a 1010 00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:20,279 Speaker 3: stellar quarterback in his career and so to go and 1011 00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:23,440 Speaker 3: get carved up like that is uh, it's it's concerning. 1012 00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:26,040 Speaker 3: We'll see how they respond and we'll talk about it 1013 00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:28,759 Speaker 3: all week long here on a Cowboys storyline. So for 1014 00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:31,200 Speaker 3: Chris Beam, I'm Nick even We'll see you tomorrow on 1015 00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:32,200 Speaker 3: Cowboys Storyline. 1016 00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:32,440 Speaker 1: See You. 1017 00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:36,040 Speaker 2: This has been a production of dallascowboys dot Com and 1018 00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:38,040 Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
