I understand y'all 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:26.640 have been waiting for this for a week now, so 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.800 I'll let y'all get y'all out the way, then i'll 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:33.399 explain after. Now. You see, we didn't have to wait 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:35.520 very long for this, right, he said, we've been waiting 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:43.120 a week. It took a total of five days. It 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:46.200 took four day. They went on Sunday and then Churches 0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:48.440 all up into kool aid again telling us how we're 0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:52.240 gonna ride high to make this NFC championship and playoff run. 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:55.640 And four days later you talk about a mud hole 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:59.920 getting stuff in you. That is listen to Antonio Gibson 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.520 has owned us for the twenty twenty season. That dude 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:05.960 is gonna get paid just based off what he did 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.320 to us. And it's only a rookie year. I mean, 0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:10.240 this is a rookie company in here doing this. And 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:13.000 Church got us out here, and and and I'm going 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.160 back on myself because I knew I should have did it. 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:17.800 As I was making my pick, I was like, you 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:20.080 know what, I gotta pick with Church because I can't 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:22.200 allow him to beat to beat me. Two weeks in 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:26.160 a row. So I picked with my emotions and not 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:29.040 my real mind when I knew that we wasn't gonna 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.440 beat the risk gives me, I mean the football team 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:34.000 because of the defense and because of how they ran 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:36.000 the ball on us the first week. And I still 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:40.560 listen to notional dumbas. Retire your name. Please, it's over. 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.160 I'll see you at Nick and Samson to check its 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:48.680 own you knew he Do you want to add anything 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:52.200 to that new d I'm gonna say back up what 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:58.600 mccrai said with numbers in two games Antonio Gibson, who's 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:01.240 a running back but was a receiver at Memphis. So 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.239 this is really, you know, the first time this dude 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:06.920 is getting behind, you know, offensive line and running as 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:10.360 a running back in two games against the Cowboys forty carries, 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:17.000 two hundred forty three yards and four touchdowns. Church. This 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:22.680 was a This was a winnable football game that the 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:27.680 Cowboy coaches, in my opinion, gave away. So I want 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:30.639 you to go ahead and explain me the thinking from 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:35.520 your man's bones, Fossil and Mike McCarthy about a fake 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:38.280 punt in the fourth quarter of a four point game 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:43.640 at your own twenty four yard line, go first and 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:46.920 first and foremost. Man, I can't. I can't excuse what 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:50.280 Big Mike did out there, him and his boy bones 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:53.120 out there. Man, they made some mistakes, some crucial mistakes. 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:56.000 So I can't excuse those guys for that. And I 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:57.560 was part of it, you know, I was part of 0:03:57.560 --> 0:03:59.760 the whole cool laid thing. I still I'm still there. 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:01.520 It's just a little bitter right now. You know that 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:04.440 the new batch then, the new batch of cool a 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:06.560 we had just didn't have enough sugar in it. So 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:08.760 it got kind of bitter on us. Man. But in 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.640 all jokes aside, though, Man, I can't, I can't excuse 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.920 what I saw on Thursday out there. I mean that 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:17.800 was that was a pure embarrassment. It was worse than 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:20.960 the game we saw in Washington that they played up 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.520 there earlier this year in Week seven. Um, you guys 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:26.080 are right, man, Gibson. He's a man back there. He 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:28.760 is a beast. He is a full grown man back there, 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:31.039 and we wanted no parts of him, especially when he 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.240 got to the second level. You could see, guys, they 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:35.479 were just throwing arms out there, just trying to just 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:38.159 trying to show effort out there. He was running through 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.800 all of us, and so overall, man, yeah, you know 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.360 the cowboys, they took it l Thursday, they took it L. 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:47.040 But but don't think we're out of this race yet. 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:51.200 We are still. We're still or two. We need some 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:53.360 help now, before it was it was up to us, 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:56.239 before it was we got our own destiny in our hands. 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:58.800 We need some help now. Look, I know y'all ain't 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:00.800 believe it. In New York, they just was Danny Downes 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:03.719 for I don't know how long. Washington got a hamstring injury, 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:05.559 and that gonna know what, we need something that gonna 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:07.640 need somebody to beat him, all right, we need somebody 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:11.040 to beat him. The disaster in Philadelphia, come on, that's 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.800 almost as bad as we looked on Thursday. So look, overall, 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:16.040 we still got a shot. We just need some help. 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:17.719 So I'm still drinking the cool that I made a 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:20.320 fresh batch downstairs. I added a little bit more sugar, 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:22.679 But I mean we're gonna break down the whole Washington 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:24.680 get him a little bit later, but right now, just 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:26.600 let y'all know I'm still on the sugar, still on 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:28.000 the cool that it just needed a little bit more. 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:32.080 Listen to church Listen, Church, Listen, Listen. I would look 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:34.040 at you differently if you hopped off the train. That's late. 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:35.800 So I'm glad you're sticking with it, even though you 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:40.279 go even though this is a second ship. All right, 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.520 But listen, this is what I want to know personally 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:45.080 from you. All right, because on previous episodes of The 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:49.360 Players Loud, you explain how you and Mike y'all had 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:51.640 a meeting and y'all talked about stuff that was gonna 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.560 be changed, and listen that I want to know, like, so, 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:57.240 did he listen to you? Did y'all come up with this? 0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:59.599 Was this some of them your ideas that he threw 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:04.240 in there? What happened? I'm gonna tell you what Kellen 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:07.000 got in his ear. See look, that's exactly what happened. Man. 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:09.240 Me and Mike had an understanding going on. We were 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:12.560 gonna get through this this stretch of games with primarily 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.200 running the ball and hoping, hoping our defense steps it up. 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:17.560 But somebody got in his ear. I'm thinking it's Kelly, 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:19.200 you know what I'm saying. I'm thinking that's who got 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.279 in his ear because some of those fourth down calls, 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:22.560 I mean, we're gonna break it down a little bit 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:24.280 later in the in the show, but some of those 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:26.640 fourth down calls were just no, no, go ahead, break 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:30.880 go ahead, break it down? Which one? Which one? Do 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:37.200 y'all want to break down? First? Yaches fourth and inches? 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:40.560 This is what this boggles me about this, this Cowboys 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:43.599 coaching staff, and just this Cowboys team in general. You 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:47.040 paid a guy ninety million dollars. He's in your backfield, 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:51.080 ninety million dollars. He probably weighs around two thirty. If 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.360 he just falls forward, he would get the first down 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:55.320 I'm talking about. This is inches. This is less than 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.600 an index finger or a pointer finger worth to get 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:01.000 the first down. And we just had to throw a 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:04.760 six yard come back to see who lamb. Not a 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:07.159 quick slam, not a fifty fifty ball to where you 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:09.840 might get an offense or a defensive pass interference, nothing 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:12.560 like that. We decided to throw a comeback to where 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:14.640 if the dbs beat off the line of scrimmage, the 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:17.280 receiver has to come back through the dB to get 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:19.200 a catch and let alone. This is fourth and inches. 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:21.720 This ain't fourth and five, fourth and four, fourth and three. 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.760 This is fourth and inches. And we decide to do that. 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:28.440 It's mind boggling. Man, it's mind boggling. I just gotta 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:31.080 know who said it was Okay, that's the only thing 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:32.680 I want to know. Who was, Like, you know what, coach, 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:34.880 this is a solid call right here, you got this 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.679 who That's all I say what I want to know. Listen, 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:40.960 and even first of all, we know it made no 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:43.160 sense for you not to give the ball to Zeke 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:45.840 or do a simple quarterback sneak or fourth and inches. Right, 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.160 but if you are going to go opposite of doing 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:52.080 what the traditional way of getting fourth and inches says, 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:56.640 who was the hot receiver in the game, who is 0:07:56.720 --> 0:08:03.520 making one hundred million dollars, Why God's name would you 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:07.400 decide to throw it out there to Cede Lamb when 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:10.800 all right, like everything that you threw it, Amari Cooper, 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:14.000 this game was a w And youre telling me that 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:16.080 you switch him out and you throw the ball to 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:19.440 Cede Lamb on this bigger place. It don't make no sense. 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:21.920 It goes to show you. It goes to show you 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:24.880 who the Cowboys thing is their true number one receiver, 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:27.240 whether it be right or wrong, it goes to show 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:30.000 you that they think in their eyes, Cede Lamb is 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:31.920 that guy, and he's the guy that you need to 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:34.160 go to and clutch down. I think it's there wrong. 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:36.000 I think you're right about them, Mary Cooper. They should 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:37.840 have fed him. They've been feeding him the ball all 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:40.280 game and he's been producing. But for them to go 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:43.400 to that moment, it's mind boggling. Man, it is mind boggled. 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:46.840 They forgot about my man in the second half. Let's 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:48.600 not go the whole game. We're gonna talk about that too, 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.280 because I'm sitting here like, hold on, you're telling me 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:53.599 or Mary Cooper is doing all this keeping us in 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.120 the game even if you're not catching it. He getting 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:58.120 passing the furiouses, getting you in the rid zone, getting 0:08:58.120 --> 0:08:59.640 you in a position to score, and then all of 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:01.679 a sudden you go disappear on the dude and I 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:04.600 don't see him being featured in the game at all 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:06.720 in the second half. When I'm in my mind, I'm like, 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:08.720 throw it to him. It's the only it's the only 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:10.600 thing that you got this winning. Just continue to throw 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:12.559 it to him, and we don't do it. It makes 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.800 no sense to meet Keller Moran got his own way 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.760 this week and just crushed it like he's been doing 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:21.240 their previous games, get nineteen the ball. I don't I 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:23.920 don't understand why only good things happen when you get 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:26.800 this dude the ball. And this is exactly what's been 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:29.240 going on in the Cowboys the past couple of years. 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:32.800 I mean, just inconsistent. You know, one game, we'll praise Keller, 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:34.599 We'll say, man, what a what a game? Did you 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:37.080 see how he kept that defense off balance and he 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:39.000 mixed in the run. In the past, he's done such 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.520 an incredible job. And then it comes to this game 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:44.280 and we're like, yo, what fourth and inches you want 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:46.079 to throw the ball to come back? And he knows 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:48.280 he was dead wrong. If he's the one that's calling 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:50.680 these calls, he knows he was dead wrong because later 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:52.520 on there was a fourth and one and they decided 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:55.480 to snick the ball with Andy Dalton. So for me overall, 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:57.680 I mean, it's just it's just half crashing. It just 0:09:57.720 --> 0:09:59.640 sums up. You know, this Cowboys team these past a 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:03.560 couple of is just up and down, inconsistent. I go 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.480 back to what I said before, this was a winnable 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:09.760 football game. You looked at the line for Alex Smith 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:13.280 as a quarterback. Okay, Alex Smith nineteen to twenty six, 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:17.359 one hundred forty nine yards, one interception, and one touchdown 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:19.679 Kellen Moore. When I looked at the play calls here, 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:23.959 Dallas had fifty seven offensive plays, thirty five passes, eighteen runs. 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:27.839 Scott Turner, the offensive coordinator for Washington, had sixty six plays, 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.360 had twenty seven passes versus thirty six runs, and they 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:35.160 kept the ball for thirty six minutes. Washington wasn't taking 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:37.400 Terry McLaurin and beating you down the field with him. 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:39.680 I know he was on my fantasy team. He never 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.480 broke anything for a big long touchdown like he did before. 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.880 They nickeled and dined you with the run and then 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:48.959 passes to the running back in the tight end. I mean, 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:53.760 this was as winnable a football game as you'll ever see, 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:58.400 and the cowboy coaches gave it away. Twenty one points 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:02.200 for Washington in the fourth. Of those three touchdown drives 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:04.960 they were, there were two of them that were a 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:08.120 grand total of one play. It was the Antonio Gibson 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:11.960 Um twenty three yard touchdown run after the fake punt 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:15.880 they made it twenty three sixteen and then Um after 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:18.640 it was thirty four to sixteen. It was the interception 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:20.840 by Sweat that he returned. That was one play Drive 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:23.560 forty one to sixteen. I mean this was terrible. I 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:29.079 mean this was just absolutely terrible. And Barry, I've lost faith. Okay, 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:33.640 I've lost faith in the twenty twenty season because this 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:38.479 was you giving it away. Okay, you gave this to Washington, 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:40.960 you gave it away, you said we don't want it. 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:45.680 This is absolutely so hard to watch. I felt bad 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:48.520 for those cowboy fans who paid their good money and 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:51.320 took their Thanksgiving Day to go out there and watch 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:56.120 decisions made like this. I feel bad those folks. When 0:11:56.120 --> 0:12:00.080 did you lose faith? You just lost faith on Thursday? 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:02.440 You know you have him going three, you have him 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:08.040 going three and three and thirteen. You lost faith on Thursday. 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:10.679 You know that, you know that that that deal what 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:13.199 you said, they had a slim you know, slim shot. 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:16.160 Like I'm looking at listening to Barry and listen to 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:18.560 the guy in the Channel five Pat Do and he's like, well, 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:20.920 you know it could. And then listen to another friend 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:22.800 of mine, the Hall of Fame writers, like they're gonna 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:26.640 win this division just based on everything around. I'm like, okay, Okay, 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:29.640 then I saw this. Then I just saw I said, man, no, man, no, 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:31.640 let me just stop. Let me get back to what 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:33.679 I was doing. Let's look at the draft, let's try 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:35.679 to see get it for that time. A bad match up, 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:43.000 no match up all around. This is what This is 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:45.719 what Church saw. This, This is what Church saw that 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.000 that made him believe that that things are going to change. 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:52.520 Pittsburgh comes in here on a trap game, and they 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:55.480 played down to our level and we get somehow close 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:57.160 to beating them at church is like, oh yeah, this 0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:00.679 is the time. The Vikings come in here year and 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:02.840 they had just won three three straight, but they had 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.800 been absolutely horrible before then. So and it's still with 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:08.040 Kirk Cousins and them, so they weren't just you know, 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:11.319 all American team, and we beat them in churches like 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:14.120 oh they're rolling. We beat somebody with a losing record 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:17.200 and this is a competitive team. So now it's gonna 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:19.360 change the channel for us. We're gonna win. And then 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:21.160 Washington came out here and said, remember what we did 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:30.079 see you last month? Hold my bill, what our third 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:32.120 three quarterback and knew it? And knew it? You said, 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:37.600 you pointed out like perfectly not because Alex Smith wasn't 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:40.520 throwing the ball down the field. I'm taking these passes, 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:43.360 those Deacon dumps. If you think about the game plan 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:46.240 that Washington came up with, it was taking advantage of 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:49.959 our linebackers. And they did that the entire game. They 0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:52.760 took advantage of our front seven. They put their running 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:55.080 backs out in the flat, they put the tight ends 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.440 out there, and they ran the ball around the corner 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:00.040 and up the middle. The off secondary didn't have to 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.240 do much except make the tackles once they got to 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:04.400 the second level because they went out there and they said, 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:06.280 we are going to get our guys messed up on 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:10.080 your on your linebackers, run up the middle and get 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:11.920 your front seventh, and we're gonna do it until you 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:15.120 stop us. And we couldn't do it. And we couldn't. 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:17.840 We couldn't tackle at all. And that's what the thing 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:20.400 was with this team, man, And it bothers me with 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:23.640 this defense. It's the long downs. It's the second in 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:27.160 twenties that for some reason, I don't know what it is, 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:29.440 but we'll always leave. You know, a guy in a 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:31.400 flat wide open, he catches it, and you think, all right, 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:33.520 everybody's just gonna rally up and we'll tackle him for 0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:36.080 a five yard game, make it third and fifteen whatever. 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:38.960 But for some reason we just can't do We just 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:41.560 can't open feel tackle and this. These second and twenties 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:44.720 automatically turn into third and fives and they're manageable third downs. 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:47.840 And we continually see this each and every game when 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:49.920 we know if we can just get them to that 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:51.360 third and long, we can have a chance to get 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:53.880 off the field. It just happens each and every game. 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:55.680 And it was just another case in Washington. They were 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:57.840 able to convert those second and longs to make third 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:00.480 and manageables, keep the drive going. And once I goten 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:03.720 a reis on, our defense just wasn't having it. Gentleman, 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:06.880 here is one, in my opinion, the big problem I 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:09.440 saw in this game. Here's Washington that came in with 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:11.880 a conservative game plan and just gave you the numbers. 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:15.640 There was conservative because they simply said this, we're gonna 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:17.440 wait on them to make a mistake. We know they 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:19.240 gonna turn the ball over. They turned the ball over 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:21.240 every game. And what happened. You got two turnovers in 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:24.000 the football game. And you know, and if you to me, 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:26.600 the fake pump was really another turnovers. That's three turnovers 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:31.760 in the game. You made it. The fourth instance is 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:35.960 the turnover yeah yes, so so yes you you made 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:38.320 it easy. It was just as simple as hey, man, 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:40.960 we we don't have to do much. We're just gonna 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:44.960 play defense and wait for them to mess up. And 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.920 that's what happened. And that's where I would I say 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:51.960 I've lost faith. I'm sorry. Eleven games in and this 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:55.480 is what this is what's being displayed. You know how 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:58.160 tough I was. You know how tough I was? Oh, 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:01.960 Jason Garrett, you know it, man, you know it's it's 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:05.480 worse now. This staff is worse than what we saw 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:08.800 last year. Man, you don't run a fake putt like 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:11.400 that on Madden. You don't do that on your old man. Man, 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:16.400 to feel your side of the fifty yard line was 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:19.440 just it was just you're twenty four. Not only just 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:23.000 your twenty four, you're twenty four and and just dude 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:25.360 running it's ten year you got you got old Cedric 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:27.320 Wilson running ten yards like what do you? Where are 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:32.760 you going? What that guy in church called in church 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:34.840 call Big Mike because he over talking about it was 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:36.960 a good call. I'm like, listen, I know you gotta 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:40.360 back your guys up, but please, I can't come on, man, 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:43.440 not on that one, Not on that one. Man. Not 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:45.880 only was it fourth and ten, but they ran a 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:48.400 double reverse to I mean, the guy has to run 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:52.560 fifteen yards to get a scrimmage, you might as well 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:56.720 for that. It was basically got to be twenty five yards. 0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:58.640 But for how far back he was where you need 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:00.960 to get you like, twenty five yards. It's just ridiculous, fan, 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:04.359 It's absolutely ridiculous. Okay, let us we gotta take a 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:06.000 time out here. Okay, we gotta take our first break. 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:07.440 All right, when we come back, we got a litany 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:09.280 of things you've got to get into here. We gotta 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:11.680 get into Ezekiel. We got to get into the offensive block. 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:14.960 Um that that Tyson fight, we gotta get that.
