1 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 2 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is Vick Shot 3 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the official 4 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,759 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys at now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Wolves, 5 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: and Nicky Spagnola. Well, there's got to be a morning after, 6 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: and there's also got to be an afternoon after. And 7 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: here we are for another edition of mix Shots. And 8 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 1: boy do we have a lot to talk about over 9 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: the course of the next forty five minutes. I just 10 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: got one thing to present right off the top. Why 11 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: can't anybody play any defense anymore? My high school team 12 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: gave up fifty seven points on Friday night, My college 13 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: team gave up thirty seven, but it felt like seventy 14 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: seven on Saturday night. And my NFL team, I think 15 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns, well, they could still be scoring if 16 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: they wanted to be scoring. Here we are for another 17 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 1: week of this. Bill Jones, Everson Walls, and Mickey Mickey 18 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: Spagnola inside the WBC Mortgage studios Where the sun came 19 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: up this morning, right, Mickey, I think it did. Yes, 20 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 1: it didn't come up for the Cowboys. They all guarantee 21 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: you that, especially a defense that gives up forty nine points. 22 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: You know what, I've decided this is probably the most 23 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: absurd season in the most absurd year I've lived. That 24 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: and I think that kind of sums up what took 25 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: place at at and T Stadium on Sunday. You have 26 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: an offense that you know, scores as many points as 27 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: the Cowboys did and nearly scored four games five hundred 28 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: and sixty six yards. Your quarterback throws for five hold 29 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: two and you get beat. You get beat, and boy, 30 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: that got problems on this defense. And I think that's 31 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:21,399 Speaker 1: probably an understatement. You know what I was hoping. Guys, 32 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 1: Let's let's make sure that we don't fall into this 33 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: thing of like the weather man. You know, we predict 34 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 1: something and you get mad at us if you know, 35 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,839 Speaker 1: if it's raining or if things go bad. I want 36 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: to make sure the fans know we're not the weatherman. Okay, 37 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: if we predict something it doesn't happen, don't blame us, 38 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: all right. I don't want to get any letters saying 39 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: that I'm it's with the reason that the Cowboys are losing. 40 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: We are not the weatherman. We are just guys sitting 41 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: up here trying to pull for the Dallas Cowboys, just 42 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,519 Speaker 1: like anybody else. So please don't let us fall into 43 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 1: that category. See Everson, here's the deal. We're right. They 44 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: just didn't play well enough to make us right, that's all. 45 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: The right, man, they didn't just didn't believe us, that's all. 46 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,679 Speaker 1: They didn't believe us. We believe in them. They don't 47 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: believe in themselves. That's it's it's it's the old gambling 48 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 1: adage when somebody loses a bet. It's like, no, I 49 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: had the bet right. They just blew the game for me. Yeah, 50 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: the outcome just came out wrong. Yeah that's all it. Yeah, absolutely, Well, 51 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: what did you guys? I just told you what I thought. 52 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: What do you guys think? You know? Let me say this, guys. 53 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: I you know I'm always the optimistic guy, even more 54 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: optimistic than Bill sometimes when it comes to the Cowboys. 55 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: Like I said, I never picked them to lose. I 56 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: don't care. Even if I was on the if I 57 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: was picking games for that one and fifteen team that 58 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: I was a part of, I probably low. You know, 59 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: I probably still picked the Cowboys for every game. I 60 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: just can't not pick them. My optimism just comes from 61 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: being a Cowboy fans growing up. We all know about 62 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: the comebacks that we've been a part of. I don't 63 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: care if I just quarterback, and I don't care if 64 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: Rombo coincid Carter. It doesn't matter. We always had hope 65 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: of comebacks when everything seemed down. I was probably that 66 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty five team. We brought it up, I think 67 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago in regards to getting blown 68 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: out twice in nineteen eighty five, forty four nothing by 69 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears at home. Then we went up to Cincinnati. 70 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,359 Speaker 1: They put a fifty spot on us. I think we 71 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: had seventeen. They had fifty plus on us. Yet we 72 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: still came back. What happens, Bags, tell me what happened 73 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty five. I love to hear you spout 74 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: poetic subas poetics. Somehow somewhere they won the NFC East 75 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,239 Speaker 1: and got into the playoffs after getting spanked that bad 76 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: in two games. Executive games. Maybe we can qualify it 77 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: since the Bears were so good that here they did 78 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl, right, so it's not like you 79 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: you lost to the Cleveland Browns. Hey stop it. We're 80 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: trying to be positive. Positive here, come on, but no, 81 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: I mean, that's the kind of thing that just keeps 82 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: me always thinking that there's a light at the end 83 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: of the tunnel tunnel, and that light is not a 84 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 1: training So I Am going to always be that way, 85 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: and somehow, you know me, as angry as we are 86 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: about the game and as disappointed as we are, I 87 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: still see that light. Well, let me let me go 88 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: here right from the start, because we talked about this 89 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: on Thursday and Friday, and Everson had some idea of 90 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: what they needed to do defensively, because we pointed out 91 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: that Cleveland there was no surprise they were going to 92 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: run the ball. Bill told you they used to fullback. 93 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: I told you they used two tight ends. They were 94 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: going to run the ball. And the Cowboys had not 95 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: played a team yet that wanted to primarily run the football. 96 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: They played teams at three wide. They were in their 97 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: nickel defense. That nickel defense wasn't going to work against 98 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: Cleveland if they went two tight ends, or if they 99 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 1: went a fullback and basically two wide receivers and a 100 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: tailback and run the football and they could not make 101 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 1: the necessary adjustment defensively to get the right personnel on 102 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: the field. Now, they tried and you know, Everson gave 103 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: you some ideas of moving the safety up into the box, 104 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: playing single safety high. They tried that sometimes. But what 105 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: they tried to do because they didn't have a legitimate 106 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: strong side linebacker, is they would stand up one of 107 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: their defensive ends the four man front, and then they 108 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: would stand up either Alden Smith or sometimes Dorence Armstrong 109 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: as the strong side linebacker. Well, that didn't work. Those 110 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: guys are defensive linemen, they're not linebacker, and they got 111 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: taken advantage of because number one, they couldn't hold down 112 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 1: the fort in the middle of that defense, and two 113 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: they weren't holding down the edge on the outside and 114 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: allowed Cleveland to run for a Cowboys opponent franchise high 115 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: three hundred and seven yards and that was with Chubb 116 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: having to leave the game early hurly. If he had 117 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: stayed healthy, they might have run for four hundred yards. 118 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: So to me, it was somewhat schematic. It was somewhat 119 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: the talent they have, and it highlighted the fact that 120 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: they sorely miss Layton Vanderish and Sean Lee being on 121 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: the field at the same time. You know what else 122 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: it shows me, guys, I don't care what your personnel is. 123 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: We've seen it in all types of sports, how you 124 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: lose someone or you might be short at a particular position. 125 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: That we still are able to gain plan because our coaches, 126 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: you know, they were able to see something, They were 127 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: able to find something through weeks and weeks of preparation, 128 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: you know, days and days, hours and hours. Okay, this 129 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: is what we can do. This is going to be 130 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: the lesser of the evil. We may not be able 131 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: to dominate these guys, we may not even be able 132 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: to control them, but we'll come up with something that's 133 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: going to be the lesser of the evil. Tour we 134 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: can hang on enough to give this team a chance 135 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: to win. I have not. I didn't see any any adjustment. 136 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,079 Speaker 1: I didn't see any scheme that was gonna give us 137 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: a chance to stop them. It's like your Bill's high 138 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: school team. I mean, they're just resigned to the fact 139 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 1: that they're going to give up points. That is not 140 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: the way a professional team, especially a team with this 141 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: kind of talent, should be thinking. Early on, we were 142 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: earlier before the season started, we were all over Will 143 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: McClay and talking about the people that he brought in. 144 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,319 Speaker 1: I still believe that the people he brought in can 145 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: make plays, because we've seen them make plays with other teams. 146 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: So the fact that they're not making them with this one, 147 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 1: either they're not buying into the game plan or someone's 148 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:28,199 Speaker 1: not relaying the message correctly, because right now no one 149 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: knows what they're doing. And once you get into not 150 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: knowing what you're doing, frustration sets in and then you 151 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: see that forgive about the term piss poor effort defensively, 152 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 1: especially on that Beckham end a round play that was 153 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: whether the Cowboys defensively had just succumbed to their own incompetence. 154 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: They just gave up. They didn't even think about trying 155 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: to stop anybody because they were worried about how frustrated 156 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 1: they were. That's when you lose that team concept. I 157 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: saw that fully and it I'll culminated on that plate 158 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: that end around to Beckham where there's so much to 159 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: get to here, and you know, one of the things, 160 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: just since you brought up how this team was put 161 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: together in the offseason with Will McClay. It was put 162 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: together with the idea that Layton, vander esh and Sean 163 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: Lee would be there and with the idea that Gerald 164 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: McCoy would be upfront in that defensive line as well. 165 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,839 Speaker 1: That's no excuses. Injuries happen in this league. But that 166 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: was a game yesterday when you're going up against a 167 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: team who is intent on running the football. That Shawn 168 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 1: Lee would have had twenty tackles in that game. And 169 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: he gets the twenty tackles because he can read and react, 170 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: he can get around the big lineman. He's done enough 171 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: film study and he has enough athletic ability to where 172 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: he can get around to the spot that he needs 173 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: to be in to avoid the big offensive lineman to 174 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: make a tackle. You know, And I don't you know 175 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: Joe Thomas. I thought, you know, in his career, Joe 176 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: Thomas has been a backup player and he and I 177 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: think he's shown signs of really playing well, you know 178 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: in uh In when he's had the opportunity here this 179 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: this season as a starter. But but he doesn't have 180 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: the same kind of experience that a Sean Lee has, 181 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: even with a Layton Vanderish. You know, he is, he 182 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: obviously has the athletic ability, but I haven't I haven't 183 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: seen yet in his career him have those games where 184 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: he can just snuff out a team like Sean Lee 185 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: has in the past. Now, I know everyone will say 186 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: he Shan Lee can't stay on the field, But the 187 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: point is, if you go look at Hitch the way 188 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: Sean Lee plays linebacker, that is the way you play 189 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: linebacker in this league. The other part of it is 190 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: when and Mickey you talked about Vague basically went to 191 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: an Oklahoma fifty two defense where they had five defense 192 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: of lineman up on the line of scrimmage to try 193 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: to stop the run. But those ends are either Alden 194 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: Smith and DeMarcus Lawrence, who's not a three four outside linebacker. 195 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 1: I mean they went to they had three defensive linemen. 196 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 1: I mean you look at their snap counts and it 197 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: shows with Tristan Hill, don Terry Poe and who am 198 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: I for getting in there? And Antoine Woods and then 199 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: they would rotate Tyrone Crawford in. They basically was three 200 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 1: four with that fourth they had, whether it be Everson Griffin, 201 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: Alden Smith, DeMarcus Lawrence, Dorence Armstrong as those outside guys, 202 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: and they couldn't well, those guys aren't three four outside linebackers. 203 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: I mean DeMarcus Ware was Anthony Spencer was if you 204 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: go back and look at how Anthony Spencer played as 205 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: a three four outside linebacker, I mean, and he played 206 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: his rear end off every snap of his career. That's 207 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: what you got to have to be able to stop 208 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: the run in this And so from that standpoint, if 209 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: you're going to try to play a three four, they 210 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: don't have it's a they don't have the people to 211 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: run a three four it. So that's where the scheme 212 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: fit doesn't work with the personnel they have. And the 213 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: other thing to accentuate that is if you're gonna play 214 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: that way, then you gotta have a linebacker to be 215 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 1: able to cover the tight ends. They're tight ends. Caught 216 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 1: nine passes for seventy one yards and a touchdown. They 217 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 1: were uncovered the almost the entire game. And Bill, you're right. 218 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: They tried a four man rine with a guy standing 219 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: up to be the strong side linebacker. They tried three 220 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: four with Crawford Woods and don Terry Poe in the middle. 221 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: None of that work. They don't have the personnel, they 222 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: don't have the body types to play that defense, and 223 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: they need to quit forcing it. As far as I'm concerned. Now, 224 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: they may think differently, and who knows, they may come 225 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: up against another team where that's gonna work. But Bill Callahan, 226 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: the former Cowboys offensive line coached offensive coordinator, had their 227 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: number in the running game, and as we know, he's 228 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: missed the running guru, and he gave him a lesson. 229 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: When you talk about the production of the Browns tight ends, 230 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: you know when we did I picked a click. Of course, 231 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: I picked Sheltz for one of my for my guy, 232 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: and it was sued it did. I assumed that with 233 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: us running the ball and with them concentrating on the 234 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: run so much, and eventually that middle is gonna open 235 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: up because those linebacks are gonna be sucked in on Zeke, 236 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: Sheltz could get behind them in the zone. That's what 237 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: I was assuming was gonna happen for us. I did 238 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: not know that that would be what was gonna happen 239 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: for them. That's the kind of thing that kind of 240 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: you know it. You're looking for Beckham, you're looking for Landry, 241 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: and you're looking for them to do their thing, which 242 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: they did. But you didn't think of having a steady 243 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: diet of the tight ends. And I guess we should 244 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: be accustomed to that because really we haven't covered the 245 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: tight end since last year. As far as our defensive 246 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: scheme is concerned. You know, when you talk about this 247 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: defense now, you look at the concerns that we all 248 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: had in Mike Nolan. I didn't know much about Mike Nolan, 249 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: but as we looked back through it, what I saw 250 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: was aggression. I saw aggression in all of the calls 251 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: that he made. And I always assumed that Mike Nolan 252 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: was not effective wherever he went because he just didn't 253 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: have the talent. So what I'm thinking with Will McClay 254 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: coming in signing this talent, and yes, like you said, Bill, 255 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: a lot of them got hurt. We had a lot 256 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: of changes that were unexpected. But at the same time, 257 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: we have a big bitch over there, okay. And we also, 258 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: what I thought, had a coach that would be able 259 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: to adapt, defensive coach that would be the adapt to 260 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: the issues that we have. We had a rush defense problem. 261 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: Before he got here. I assumed that he was going 262 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: to remedy that. It doesn't seem like he has a 263 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: clue on how to do it, especially with the injuries, 264 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: unexpected injuries that his face throughout this off season. And 265 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: once again Bill everyone's got the injuries, everyone's got these 266 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: unexpected things happened, especially with this pandemic. We have to 267 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: be somehow able to come through with that with no excuses, 268 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: if nothing else, just be able to give a bit 269 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: of support to one of the best offenses in the 270 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: NFL right now, Just give us just a smidgen of help, 271 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: and you just be surprised at how we could turn 272 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: three losses maybe into just one loss or just two losses. 273 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: You know, the wet we gotta take a break here. 274 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: But you know the other part of that, as far 275 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: as the this goes to back to Bill Kellahan, to 276 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: the tight ends for Cleveland did a good job in 277 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 1: the run game blocking two where even though Jalen Smith 278 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 1: or Joe Thomas just all right. First off, the Cowboys 279 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,120 Speaker 1: did a poor job set in the edge a lot 280 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: of times defensively. But then also those tight ends did 281 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 1: a good job of blocking the Cowboy linebackers who couldn't 282 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: get out to the outside. You can go back and 283 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 1: look through the tape and see a lot of that 284 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: going on in this game. So anyway, I mean, as 285 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,679 Speaker 1: it was, and by the way, as you were talking, 286 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: ever since I went back and looked up as this 287 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 1: was happening. I was thinking, this reminds me of Cincinnati 288 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: a nineteen eighty five and the final score in that 289 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: game was fifty to twenty four, and I looked it up. 290 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: It was thirty six to three early in the third quarter, 291 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: and this, okay, the Cowboys gave up three hundred seven 292 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: yards rushing to Cleveland. Well in that game, the Cowboys 293 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,719 Speaker 1: against Cincinnati gave up five hundred eighty three total yards 294 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 1: in that game, which is a mouthful in nineteen eighty five. 295 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: And that was with two tall Randy and the guys. 296 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: That was the that was the doomsday defense, and it 297 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: was doomsday for us day. Yesterday was doomsday. Let's see 298 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,360 Speaker 1: where it is. Where is okay? Rushing offense for Cincinnati 299 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: that day, they had two hundred and eighty four yards rushing, 300 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,479 Speaker 1: so they were they were coming close to three oh seven. 301 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: So that's when I had, That's when I had. Montoya 302 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: was was in my face thirty yards down the field 303 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: and I couldn't even see Brooks behind him. I'm trying 304 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,199 Speaker 1: to keep myself alive and see the running back behind him, 305 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: and Brooks was just running all over the place. And yeah, 306 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,199 Speaker 1: that you know here Cowboys. Hey, and you know who 307 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: the Cowboys played the next week, New York Giants.

I did a 360 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: very good job in the press prox of keeping my 361 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,360 Speaker 1: mask on. The people in the stands not so much. 362 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: And I suggested in my in my column today that 363 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: instead of pull on their masks down, they should have 364 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: pulled them up over their eyes so they didn't have 365 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: to watch that. That's funny. I like that, you know, 366 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: what I want. You know. You know, at one point 367 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: I made that comment. I was watching the game here 368 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: at home with my wife, and we were talking about 369 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy and and about that time, they showed a 370 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: shot of McCarthy on the sideline and it looked like 371 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: he had his mask up so high. I said, I said, 372 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 1: I told my wife, he's about to pull that mask 373 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: up over his face so he didn't have to watch 374 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: this stuff. Well, it's so interesting now because of course 375 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 1: this is such a seamless transition we want. We didn't 376 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 1: want a seamless transition, Okay. I didn't want Mike McCarthy 377 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 1: to make me feel like Jason Garrett is still here. Okay, 378 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: we wanted to feel different about this season. So of 379 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: course all the people are talking about, hey, bring back 380 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 1: Jason Jarrett. Got Jason hanging out of a train like 381 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: a like a happy dog out of a car, laughing 382 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 1: at us with our incompetence. If it wasn't for the 383 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: fact that they're so incompetence in New York as well, 384 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: I think he would be. But I was thinking, okay, 385 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: defensively is the issue? Uh, what about bringing back Chris Rashard? 386 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 1: Anybody anybody, Ron Marinelli, everybody was ready to get rid 387 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,400 Speaker 1: of Yeah, anybody, anybody, anybody. I want to bring back 388 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: Jeff Heath. Oh, yes, bring it back Heath. Please? Where's 389 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,400 Speaker 1: Heath right now? We heard I got a note even 390 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,120 Speaker 1: last week on periscope, but they were saying that about 391 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: Jeff Heath. You know. But seriously, though, Jim Tumsila, the 392 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: defensive line coach, is one of the most respected defensive 393 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: line coaches in the National Football League. H you know, 394 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 1: it's it's just a question of of figuring out how 395 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: they can how they can fix this thing in a hurry, 396 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 1: and truthfully, with the Giants coming in here this week, 397 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: that's going to help fix the problem. Okay, But long term, 398 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: they've got to look at themselves and they have to 399 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 1: figure out It's just like what Mike McCarthy said in 400 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: one of his opening meetings with the media back in 401 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 1: late January or February, when he's talked about getting players 402 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 1: that fit a scheme, He's not. He doesn't. He's not 403 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 1: looking for players in regards to the draft or free 404 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: agent acquisition. He's not looking for players to fit a 405 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: particular scheme. We can have a scheme fit the players, 406 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: and so that as we are now a quarter of 407 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: the way through this season is what these coaches have 408 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: to figure out is what works best for the players 409 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 1: that you have on hand here, you know, I get. 410 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: I think also the difference what we're dealing with, guys 411 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: is in the beginning of the season. Last year, we 412 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: were like the widget of Oz. You know, we didn't 413 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,400 Speaker 1: know what was behind the curtain. We didn't realize how 414 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 1: incompetitive we really were starting off three and old. We 415 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,680 Speaker 1: don't have that problem this time. We know exactly how 416 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: bad we are. We know how bad we are early on. 417 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: So the only saving grace for that is maybe we 418 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: can make the adjustment before it's too late and we 419 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: aren't fooling ourselves about how good we are or how 420 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: bad we are. You know, I get the feeling. Defensively, 421 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: it just feels like they're playing catch. They're not attacking. 422 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 1: They're playing catch. They're they're they're letting them come to them, 423 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,880 Speaker 1: and they're not creating any problems for the opposing offense. 424 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 1: I mean, Baker Mayfield, he threw for one hundred and 425 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 1: sixty five yards, right, he didn't have to throw for more. 426 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: But I'm thinking if a quarterback throws for one sixty five. 427 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,080 Speaker 1: I should be able to win that game and not 428 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: give up forty nine points. The other thing that keeps 429 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 1: coming up is, well, we get off to these slow starts. 430 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: It's like slow starts. You were up fourteen to seven, 431 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: it was fourteen to seven at the end of the 432 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:16,360 Speaker 1: first quarter. There wasn't a slow start. But then here 433 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:21,679 Speaker 1: comes the turnovers. You got an undrafted rookie starting at 434 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: right tackle who struggled last week supposedly because he was sick, 435 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,880 Speaker 1: up against Miles Garrett, and you leave him out there 436 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: on an island. So what happens predictably, right, Garrett comes 437 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: in and gets a stripped sack and they recover a 438 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 1: fumble that's not and Dad continues to fall on his 439 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 1: sword like that's my problem. No, they left that poor 440 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: kid out there by himself, and until it happened twice. 441 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: Then they made the move to Brandon Knight. Things somewhat 442 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 1: settled down. But if you notice, they had Zeke going 443 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 1: over there and chipping a heck of a lot. They 444 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 1: had a tight end Blake Bell over there a heck 445 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: of a lot to make sure that and continue to happen. 446 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: So you turn the ball over there, it ends up 447 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 1: a touchdown the other way. Then the next time you 448 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 1: get the ball, Zeke's running really well, right, and where 449 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: this thing happens, and I don't know if he thought 450 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: he was down, but he was down on the guy's helmet. 451 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: He had but had not hit the ground. And the 452 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 1: guy comes in over the top and knocks the ball out. 453 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if he relaxed or what. But do 454 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,879 Speaker 1: you get a fumble there, a weird one, and what happens? 455 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: They go and score and then the other turnover we 456 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: talked about it already where Amari Cooper didn't run his 457 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 1: route correctly. He's at the four yard line. They're gonna score, 458 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: and they're gonna be down by what three again if 459 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: they get another two point conversion, which, by the way 460 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: I looked it up, they had three two point conversions 461 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 1: in that fourth quarter. The season record for converting two 462 00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: points two point conversions and club history is three for 463 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 1: the season. They did it in one quarter, right, and 464 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 1: so who knows they're gonna go back in school. They're 465 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 1: down forty one to fourteen, and the next thing we know, 466 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, it's a three point game. It's 467 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 1: a three point game. There were no more miracle water 468 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: watermelon kicks, right, but still they had they had a 469 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 1: race that deficit. Think about that, a twenty seven point deficit, 470 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 1: and they erased it and there were still three minutes 471 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: and something to go. So that's got to be the 472 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: frustrating thing that your offense. And right now they're sitting 473 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 1: and I what unless something weird happens tonight. In those 474 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: two games, they're turnover differentials minus seven minus seven after 475 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: four games. That's incredible, and some of them are weird turnovers, 476 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: but it's doing them in offensively because without those turnovers, 477 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: they might have six hundred total yards because no one 478 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 1: can stop them. They just stopped themselves. I gotta say, 479 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: guys that with that play action pass you were talking 480 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: about spags, Yeah, you have to double clutch that. You 481 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: have to double clutch that. That was the whole point. 482 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: You want to make a guy bite because the play 483 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: action and we're gonna try and hit the man deep. 484 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, that was going to be a 485 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: deep pass down the sideline. Yeah, and I don't know 486 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 1: if the guy was open or not. But when you 487 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: have a play action, the quarterback must have protection. It's 488 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 1: just no doubt about it. And you've got to hold 489 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: a little bit longer because you're trying to let the 490 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:50,600 Speaker 1: play action play developed down the field, so you must 491 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: hold onto the ball a little bit longer. Otherwise you're 492 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: just looking at the hot rounds and it's just you 493 00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 1: talked about Zeke's fumble. The weirdness with this that is 494 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: our m going all the way back to last year. 495 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 1: There's always something just you know, just a street turn. 496 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: It's just stupid. They'll just see stupid things happening that 497 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: really always lead to our demise. We could have told 498 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 1: a weird story in almost every big loss last year 499 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 1: and now going up into this year, and my last 500 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: thing I'm gonna say on this, I think this is 501 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: really it sounds funny, but I think we should really 502 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: start thinking about it. Whenever we're down, we are unstoppable. 503 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: When we go with pace, we do right. We go 504 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 1: with pace and no one can stop us. How about 505 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 1: revisiting nineteen ninety and just turn into the Buffalo Bills. 506 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: Let's just go no huddle as our game plan period. 507 00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: Let's just line up, call plays at the line and 508 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: make it work. Because when you keep your pedal down 509 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 1: on any defense. I don't care how good or bad 510 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 1: they are, They're gonna continue to feel that pressure over 511 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: and over again, the way the Buffalo Bills were doing 512 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 1: with Jim Kelly, Andre Reid, James Lofton, Thurman Thomas. To me, 513 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 1: that seems to be our only alternative if we're gonna 514 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: keep going down this defensive rabbit hole, because at this point, 515 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 1: our offense is the best we have. We've got some 516 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: good special teams plays going as well, but I think 517 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: offensively we just need to keep the pedal down the 518 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: entire game. It's happened before. It's not anything that's unusual, 519 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: it's it's we've seen it work. They made it all 520 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: the way to the super Bowl, they just and they 521 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: almost won. So as far as I'm concerned, our offense 522 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: is that's our only saving grace for this team is 523 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 1: to just go straight up offense and just look for 524 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 1: defense to pitch in whenever they think they can. And 525 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: that's the way the Buffalo Bills did it, and every soon. 526 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, does this Cowboys team have 527 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 1: a Bruce Smith or Cornelius? I know you were going here, William, 528 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 1: I knew you were going there. Sir, there's the answer is. 529 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: The answer is no. But we are one in three guys, 530 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: and we can't keep waiting like we did last year 531 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 1: and be all optimistic and rosy color and go, hey, 532 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 1: we're gonna pull out of it. Look at the way 533 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 1: offense is playing. Oh, we've just got a couple of 534 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 1: weird plays. To take out those weird plays, people get no, No, 535 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 1: I'm not waiting. I'm not waiting. We need to make 536 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: a move. We need to make a move, and right 537 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 1: now we need to go with our strength, our strength 538 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 1: as offense and special teams, and let's just let the 539 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 1: defense pitch in whenever they feel like it. Half games 540 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 1: more I try. That's right. What were they saying in 541 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 1: Philly last night last year? What were they saying in 542 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 1: my village? What were they saying in Philly? Within six 543 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 1: minutes left in the game last night, Okay, they're trailing, 544 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 1: they're going to be in eleven, They're about to be 545 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 1: oh three and one, and within five minutes there in 546 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 1: first place.

Right, I've got TV done some 595 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 1: and have some to do, so I wasn't going to 596 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,320 Speaker 1: change three times today. Absolutely, you want me to give you, 597 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 1: I'm going to give you a quick mix shot here. Yes, 598 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,440 Speaker 1: that's why why we call it mix shots. So the 599 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 1: Cowboys have already given up in four games six hundred 600 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 1: and ninety yards rushing, right they are on pace to 601 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,800 Speaker 1: give up two thousand and seven hundred and sixty yards rushing. 602 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:43,840 Speaker 1: The franchise record for opponents against the Cowboys is two thousand, 603 00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: six hundred and thirty six in the year of two 604 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 1: thousand that they finished five and eleven. So their pace 605 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 1: right now is like one hundred and forty some yards ahead. 606 00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 1: Of the all time worst season the Cowboys have had 607 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:05,359 Speaker 1: against the run, and when it comes to points, they 608 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,280 Speaker 1: are on pace to give up five hundred and eighty 609 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 1: four points five hundred and eighty four. The franchise record 610 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,399 Speaker 1: for most points given up in a season is four 611 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:21,360 Speaker 1: thirty six. And guess what year that happened? In twenty 612 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,920 Speaker 1: ten when they went six and ten and lost their 613 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:33,440 Speaker 1: head coach at the halfway point. Started that year one 614 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 1: and seven. Yeah, the head coach didn't make it to 615 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:42,360 Speaker 1: this matter of fact, no Phillips. In twenty ten it 616 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:46,440 Speaker 1: was Waite Phillips, but in two thousand it was two 617 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,600 Speaker 1: thousand or old one two thousand, Dave Campbell's first year. 618 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,919 Speaker 1: And get this, so in four games, four straight games, 619 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,840 Speaker 1: they've given up one hundred and forty six. In that 620 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,239 Speaker 1: twenty ten season they had forced the last four of 621 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,360 Speaker 1: those first games, they gave up one hundred and forty five. 622 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,359 Speaker 1: And the worst four game stretch I could find. Now 623 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,800 Speaker 1: it's my research, and I kind of went through page 624 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 1: by page and looked for big scores. I found out 625 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,279 Speaker 1: that the most points they'd give it up in any 626 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 1: four game stretch at any point in the season was 627 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty and it was game six through 628 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:32,000 Speaker 1: nine in nineteen sixty. I'm so glad there wasn't the eighties. 629 00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,080 Speaker 1: I was just waiting to hear one of my years. 630 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 1: I'm so glad because I've been through them. When you 631 00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,800 Speaker 1: think about that's one thing you about being on the podcast, 632 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 1: you know everything is out there. Your past just comes 633 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 1: back to haunt you. Remember the Walter Payton days when 634 00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 1: we had to go up against him, and even though 635 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 1: we were kicking their butts, Walter Payton just had a 636 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,839 Speaker 1: field day on us. I remember Bob Brunik never could 637 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,080 Speaker 1: find him no matter where he went. And this is 638 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:06,360 Speaker 1: a flex defense that's designed to beat Jim Brown, so 639 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 1: you could just imagine how good Walter Payton had to be. Also, 640 00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:17,080 Speaker 1: I never forget how many yards Eric Dickerson averaged on us. 641 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,400 Speaker 1: So we had to go up against Eric Dickerson not 642 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 1: only in the playoffs, but also in the regular season. 643 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 1: I believe he averaged over two hundred yards against the 644 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 1: famed flex defense and doomsday defense. So yeah, been through it. 645 00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 1: I know exactly what they're going through. But one thing 646 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:40,720 Speaker 1: that we were always able to do make the adjustments. 647 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 1: That's what we always did. We made the adjustments. So 648 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,800 Speaker 1: that's what I'm waiting on this coaching staff to do. 649 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,440 Speaker 1: You know, sure this thing up, realize what the problem is, 650 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,120 Speaker 1: and don't be known for repeating the same mistake over 651 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,040 Speaker 1: and over again. That's one thing we were good at 652 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:03,640 Speaker 1: back in the eighties. Okay, one moment early in the game, 653 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy was a genius. Cowboys faced fourth and two 654 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:13,040 Speaker 1: at the Cleveland twenty yard line and he decides to 655 00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,439 Speaker 1: go for it. Fourth and two from the twenty yard 656 00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:20,319 Speaker 1: line in a tie game, seven to seven, with two 657 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 1: just over two minutes to play in the first quarter, 658 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 1: and he went for it, and he was a genius 659 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:30,120 Speaker 1: for it, because Dak Press got through a fastball that 660 00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,560 Speaker 1: somehow got between two defenders and Amari Cooper in the 661 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,440 Speaker 1: end zone for a Touchdow, are you surprised that they 662 00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:40,279 Speaker 1: went for it? And that's right, want to play by Dak. 663 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 1: I didn't notice that. I thought it was interesting that 664 00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:45,560 Speaker 1: I think there was a time out right before there 665 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,920 Speaker 1: was a timeout. Cowboys called time out right before it, 666 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 1: and McCarthy talked with Fossil on the sideline, and I 667 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:57,960 Speaker 1: was wondering at the time if whatever Hash mark they 668 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,680 Speaker 1: were on or whatever. Something was going on zer Line 669 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,440 Speaker 1: and one of the reasons, but obviously there was nothing 670 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:05,520 Speaker 1: going on with zer Line. He was fine kicking the 671 00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,600 Speaker 1: rest of the day. They just decided to go for it, 672 00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,680 Speaker 1: and Dak came through it with a huge I mean 673 00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,560 Speaker 1: that was I'd like to have the radar gun speed 674 00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:17,719 Speaker 1: on that fastball. I think. I think even Cooper was 675 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,799 Speaker 1: surprised that he walked in the ends on with that one. 676 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,879 Speaker 1: The cameraman missed it. Everyone missed it except for Dak 677 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,280 Speaker 1: and Coop. That was good stuff. Yeah, the two dbs 678 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,560 Speaker 1: missed it too, right, It looked like it was going 679 00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:31,160 Speaker 1: to get it stutiful. He had a couple of passes 680 00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:32,719 Speaker 1: like that where it looked like they were going to 681 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 1: get intercepted. They got tipped. He had one to Shultz 682 00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,600 Speaker 1: like that too. I thought it was a sure touchdown, 683 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,840 Speaker 1: and I think it might have been. Zendejo came flying 684 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,680 Speaker 1: through and broke up the paths. There was a little 685 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:47,640 Speaker 1: beyond Zendejoe's reach. Yeah, yeah, DA needs to be DA 686 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,440 Speaker 1: needs to be careful in games like this, and there 687 00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,720 Speaker 1: will be others like this to where you know, sometimes 688 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:57,000 Speaker 1: he was just on automattic pilot. And let's face it, 689 00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,160 Speaker 1: these guys as much as he was threading the needle 690 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,200 Speaker 1: on a lot of these pass says there should have 691 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:06,040 Speaker 1: been at least two that could have been intercepted. Was 692 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,759 Speaker 1: one that ended the game? Yeah, well he could have. 693 00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:14,279 Speaker 1: I would say there were three passes throughout the course 694 00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,160 Speaker 1: of the game, especially in the second half, where I 695 00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 1: thought they should have intercepted them. And so he needs 696 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,320 Speaker 1: to be a little careful because I know the pressures 697 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:26,600 Speaker 1: armed them to make every play. And no, not surprised 698 00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,600 Speaker 1: that he went for it. Bill, because of the lack 699 00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,600 Speaker 1: of defense that we're playing, We're gonna go for it 700 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,480 Speaker 1: a lot on fourth down. We might as well get 701 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,560 Speaker 1: accustomed to it. And I have to say I admire 702 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,120 Speaker 1: the guts to do it because I'm not gonna sit 703 00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,680 Speaker 1: back if I'm McCarthy, I'm not gonna sit back like 704 00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,839 Speaker 1: Jason Garrett did and just wait on guys to make 705 00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,880 Speaker 1: plays in a traditional manner. I'm gonna force the issue 706 00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:53,560 Speaker 1: as a head coach, all right, I need to get 707 00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:58,400 Speaker 1: the cornerbacks take on the touchdown, the Beckham touchdown in 708 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,960 Speaker 1: second of the days, got it go ahead, SPACs. I'm 709 00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,759 Speaker 1: looking it up. I'm trying to remind myself, I want 710 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:09,279 Speaker 1: the cornerback. I want the cornerbacks. Uh, you know a 711 00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:13,200 Speaker 1: point of view on this one. It's at your SPACs. Yeah, right, 712 00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:19,759 Speaker 1: Daryl Worley defending Odell Beckham one on one on the 713 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:23,680 Speaker 1: touchdown that tied the game at fourteen. Mister cornerback. What 714 00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:29,600 Speaker 1: happened there? Well, you know, things just happened. Yeah, it was. 715 00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,919 Speaker 1: It was a great pass by the way, you're talking 716 00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,719 Speaker 1: about the pass from Landry correct, No, no, no, I'm 717 00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:40,200 Speaker 1: talking about Mayfield play fate and uh it was in 718 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,760 Speaker 1: four yard passed on the goal line and Daryl Worley's 719 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:47,800 Speaker 1: playing off Beckham and it was just a slant middle 720 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,719 Speaker 1: of the end zone. Now, well, you know at that point, 721 00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:52,520 Speaker 1: I don't think he even thought he had a chance 722 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,560 Speaker 1: because he played scared. You know, when you when you're 723 00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,680 Speaker 1: on the goal line, this feast of famine. You know, 724 00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:02,160 Speaker 1: I wouldn't even mind the PI in that position. You 725 00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 1: must get your hands on these guys because everything is 726 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,279 Speaker 1: a timing route. We have that route as well in 727 00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:11,120 Speaker 1: our package, and I think we're almost one when we 728 00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,840 Speaker 1: do the play action and we draw the safety in 729 00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,120 Speaker 1: and you put the slat behind them. That's easy work. 730 00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,960 Speaker 1: I have to say, forget that one bill. That's nothing 731 00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:26,719 Speaker 1: compared to the lack of effort by the entire secondary 732 00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,799 Speaker 1: on the end a round when you take a look 733 00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:34,280 Speaker 1: at what happened on that play. To me, okay, schemes 734 00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:37,319 Speaker 1: are one thing. Being beat is another. I got beat 735 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,120 Speaker 1: a lot when I played, but it was never because 736 00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,800 Speaker 1: I gave up. And when you think of a running 737 00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:46,200 Speaker 1: player or passing play, they were looking for Beckham to 738 00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:50,440 Speaker 1: go out of bounds. The secondary was hoping Beckham went 739 00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:52,759 Speaker 1: out of bounds on that end a round. And as 740 00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:56,360 Speaker 1: far as I'm concerned, guys, that right there back in 741 00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:58,759 Speaker 1: the day, and I know I'm sounding like an old man, 742 00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:02,000 Speaker 1: get off my lawn, that kind of crap. But when 743 00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:06,399 Speaker 1: you give a piss poor effort like that, that would 744 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:10,320 Speaker 1: get you, that would get you replaced back in the eighties. 745 00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:14,720 Speaker 1: And you know, uh, Jimmy Johnson did not play that crap. 746 00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 1: If you show a lack of effort like that, guys, 747 00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,279 Speaker 1: they had just given up. They were hoping that he 748 00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,320 Speaker 1: went out of bounds, as opposed to forcing him to 749 00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:25,000 Speaker 1: go out of bounds. And it looked at all you 750 00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:28,880 Speaker 1: saw was cowboy defenders going out of bounds, Beckham cutting 751 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:32,239 Speaker 1: it back easily and doing what he did. That was 752 00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,919 Speaker 1: just a shame to me. Let me let me point 753 00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:39,399 Speaker 1: out also on that play as it started and when 754 00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 1: they I think they were in a cover three because 755 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:46,839 Speaker 1: Trayvon Diggs was off the line of scrimmage quite a bit. 756 00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:52,239 Speaker 1: And when he when Odell got around Alden Smith, who 757 00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,200 Speaker 1: was within what a yard of bringing them down for 758 00:45:55,280 --> 00:46:01,120 Speaker 1: a fifteen yard loss. What happened was that yard, Well, 759 00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:03,720 Speaker 1: he was the guy setting. He was the guy setting 760 00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,000 Speaker 1: the edge on the left side, and he shot in. 761 00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,680 Speaker 1: So now there's no one there right the linebackers got 762 00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,880 Speaker 1: caught up in the muck. And when he turned the corner, 763 00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:18,520 Speaker 1: Trayvon Diggs took a step back and he tripped on 764 00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:23,440 Speaker 1: the turf. No I thought he got blocked. He tripped 765 00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,920 Speaker 1: on the turf, fell backwards on his butt, and then 766 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,160 Speaker 1: he got up and in his anxiety to get to 767 00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:33,480 Speaker 1: the sideline, if you watch, he flew right by him. 768 00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:35,680 Speaker 1: He went to make the tackle and he flew right 769 00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,319 Speaker 1: past him, but he tripped. So you had your other 770 00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,080 Speaker 1: guy on the left side, and he's not there because 771 00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:44,319 Speaker 1: he fell down, and no one blocked him. And it's 772 00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:48,480 Speaker 1: like just one thing after another after another. And you 773 00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:50,520 Speaker 1: know the other I thought, when you brought up the 774 00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:54,520 Speaker 1: touchdown pass, it looked like that whirl he gave it 775 00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,719 Speaker 1: up the one to the tight end that wasn't his guy, 776 00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:02,560 Speaker 1: that Donovan will Wilson. Worly was trying to get Donovan 777 00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,440 Speaker 1: Wilson's attention, and he was close to the line to 778 00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:11,560 Speaker 1: the clothes and he's to spread out, right, And then 779 00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,200 Speaker 1: they had three guys come out, and Worly had his 780 00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:18,040 Speaker 1: choice of one right, and he that was supposed to 781 00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:23,600 Speaker 1: be the safety's guy. You know now Wilson, right, Wilson 782 00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,160 Speaker 1: though Wilson, though I given credit he that was his 783 00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:29,239 Speaker 1: first extended play in the NFL, and he ended up 784 00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:31,640 Speaker 1: I think it was second on the team and tackles. 785 00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:34,759 Speaker 1: I think that we may see that more now that 786 00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:39,080 Speaker 1: he'll be the guy at the other safety position. But 787 00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,279 Speaker 1: I thought for the first time extended play, I thought 788 00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:44,360 Speaker 1: he played pretty well. But again, it was almost like 789 00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:47,600 Speaker 1: the week before. There's confusion on the line of scribbage 790 00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:52,440 Speaker 1: and coverage inside the five yard line. All right, we're 791 00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:57,640 Speaker 1: out of time on this edition of Mixed Shots. Again 792 00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:03,080 Speaker 1: tomorrow at one already live for more mix shots. Make 793 00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:08,160 Speaker 1: it a great Monday, better than your Sunday works. This 794 00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:11,080 Speaker 1: has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and 795 00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,080 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
