WEBVTT - Mick Shots: No Joy 0:00:02.200 --> 0:00:04.720 The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:04.720 --> 0:00:06.320 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. 0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:09.520 Cowboys. 0:00:11.200 --> 0:00:16.560 This is Mick shot streaming live on dallascowboys dot Com 0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:20.920 and the official Dallas Cowboys AFT. Now Here are Bill Jones, 0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:26.400 Everson Wolves, and Mickey Spagnola. 0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:30.840 Well, we're almost all here. Bill Jones had to be 0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:36.559 called away on assignment, but as usual, Natan Frisco steps up, 0:00:36.600 --> 0:00:40.040 baby out of the bullpen. Help us here on talking 0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:48.960 Cowboys here at the SWBC studio after a Cowboys thirty 0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:54.320 four to six loss, and after Jerry Jones said at 0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:58.080 the end of the evening, uh, there is no joy 0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:02.800 here without winning, and the Cowboys lost their fourth consecutive 0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:07.760 game of the season, fall into three and six and 0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:12.600 really only one victory ahead of the Giants from last 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:17.400 place in the NFC East. But we are here to 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:22.480 break it down after that game on Sunday where the 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:27.399 Cowboys could not score a touchdown, could not score a 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:31.279 touchdown gentlemen at home and the last time they scored 0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:35.520 a touchdown at home was Baltimore. That seems like last year, 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:38.320 but I think it was the second game of the season, 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:45.760 so things could just continue seemingly to get worse. I 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:50.880 have to play without your starting quarterback, and Cooper Rush 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:56.720 had his problems really not having played much since that 0:01:56.800 --> 0:02:01.480 twenty twenty two season. It certainly showed the Cowboys defense 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:04.320 played well in the first half, kind of fell apart 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:08.280 in the second half. And so here we are, and 0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:10.960 I'm gonna let you guys kind of take it from 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:15.080 there and give me your impressions of this fourth consecutive loss. 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:20.840 Everson Walls, I am finally exhaling. You know this game. 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:24.040 Let me know we're done. 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:26.720 Sometimes you're not good enough, right. 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:34.120 Yeah, Sometimes it just ain't gonna happen for you. You know, mathematically, 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.679 you know we're probably out for a while. But as 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.239 far as I'm concerned, the way we showed last night 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:45.440 that was that was downright pitiful to watch that game. 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:49.720 And you know, these I told you souls and all 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.400 of that. Of course they'll come later. But you know 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:55.600 what if Rush would have come out and led this 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:59.440 team to victory, could you imagine the kind of chaos 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:08.160 we'd have in here right now? Everybody talking about it, 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:10.680 you know, is dac that. 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:13.560 When it all comes down to it. 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:17.120 First of all, neither facet of the game comes to 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:21.000 play together, you know, you always have one one fastest 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:24.000 doing well and the other one just just you know, 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:30.520 didn't accompany them. And now you're sitting here with wasted plays, 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:34.120 wasted energy, and that's what you have right now. No 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:38.080 one came to play. At one point, we had a 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:44.120 receiver had more yards than our entire offense. Their receiver, 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:46.840 I think it was a J. Brown, had more yards 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:52.920 than our entire offense. And as you sit there as 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:56.280 a hopeful fan like I am. 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:56.760 I'm definitely a. 0:03:56.680 --> 0:04:00.120 Homer, no doubt about it, and you sit there when 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:03.440 you look at the game, which seemed to take all 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:08.040 freaking afternoon, it seemed like it would never end. 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.280 I drove home at the beginning of the. 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.880 Fourth quarter and I was able to make it home 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:17.880 while they were still playing in the fourth quarter. The 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:20.760 game would not end. It was really torture for any 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:21.560 Cowboys fan. 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:23.919 Now, they weren't tortured because they left. 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:30.000 Well, any of those watching on TV, Oh, it didn't matter. 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:30.840 They probably left too. 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:34.720 That was the game where it was. It was a 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.159 long kiss good night, That's what it was. It was 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:38.640 a long kiss good night. 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:41.719 Nate Newton filling in by the way. 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:45.400 The thing that if we're to side here, Friday said, 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:51.880 we're gonna hold Saquon Barkley under sixty seven yards and 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:55.240 he's gonna only catch one pass for twelve yards. 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:57.440 Everybody'd been like, we got a shot. 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:01.320 Yeah, that means that Hurts has throw the ball repeatedly, 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:03.680 and now they give us a chance for Parsons up 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:08.960 and running to have a great, great impact. Well it 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:13.920 great recipe, that's great happened, and uh it all fell 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:17.280 apart in coming into the third quarter once again, just 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:18.039 like Atlanta. 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:22.880 You at halftime down by a little, up by a little. 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:23.080 You. 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:26.520 Were set and poised. 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:29.920 You came out and gave up fourteen quick points in 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:31.320 the in the third quarter. 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:35.919 It doomed you for turnovers. It doomed you. 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:41.479 They was driving down all of a sudden, You see Godard, 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:44.440 your boy steps in front of him, gets a pick, 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:54.240 saves us. Fellas, we have to generate a better offensive 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:57.880 performance over a whole game, over the whole band of 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:02.800 a game. Uh, it was save our defense. Our defense 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:06.720 did it against I think Atlanta. Then then it fell 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:09.640 apart in the second half for them. They tried to 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:11.719 hold together against. 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:12.680 This Eagles team. 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:17.480 I mean Eagles got some nice wide receivers, nice tight end, 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:21.600 a nice quarterback, and a super running back, and you 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:24.479 were in the game and you come out in the 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:28.200 second half and you just let it get away from you. 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:36.520 Part of that is lack of talent, lack of experienced talent, 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:42.040 and a few of the older guys are just older. So, 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:49.080 like Coach Johnson once told me and Barry Swiss told me, 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:53.760 sometimes you just a player or two away, and that's that. 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:57.599 That's that that extra omph coming out into that third quarter. 0:06:57.920 --> 0:06:59.680 Sometimes you just a player or two away. 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:03.440 I don't know who that player is, who those players are, 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:08.200 but we have to play when you're in this position 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:12.880 and the walls you can agree to this. You you 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:16.480 didn't have a five five penalties for forty yards, but 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:18.880 every penalty that hits you costs you. 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:21.520 So you have to play almost. 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:23.520 It negated the positive place. 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:27.040 Yeah, so you have to almost play perfect football. And 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:29.600 right now we're not built for perfect foot now. 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:34.600 So, uh, we're not even built for the perfect game plan. Yes, 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:36.880 and that's what I kept talking about last week. Yes, 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:40.480 put them in a good game plan and allow matchups 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:42.360 and then all of a sudden, here comes Michael Parson's 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:45.440 makes some plays, Yes, and that's what you Okay, we're 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:49.120 gonna ride that. Well, that wasn't enough to ride. 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:51.040 Yeah, So that's where I'm at me. 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:55.040 It's just the big the inconsistencies of who we are 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:56.440 and what we're trying to accomplish. 0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:00.840 It's just it's big. It's awesome, socare. 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:04.600 I don't care how many injuries you have. If I'm 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:08.760 looking at this from a coaching standpoint, as a team, 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:13.520 we still need to replace someone who may not be 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.400 playing well or who's on injury reserve. We still need 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:21.160 to replace them with someone who can follow instructions and 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:23.880 follow this game plan to a t. There are some 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:28.840 cultures out there, Pittsburgh Steelers that say we're gonna win. 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:30.960 Well, to me, they got too much talent now. 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:33.640 But when you look at Pittsburgh with not as much 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:40.000 talent still maintaining a winning record, that culture in that 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:40.680 locker room. 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:45.520 Whoever you are this steps up. You're bound to. 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:49.720 Play the way we expect you to play, to step 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:52.280 in line, play the way we're supposed to play. 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:53.840 No mistakes. 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.679 Don't come in acting like you hadn't hardly played and 0:08:57.320 --> 0:08:59.920 commit illegal procedures and things of that nature. 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:01.280 Come in and play like the. 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:04.160 Professional that you are because with signing you to a 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:05.480 contract and you're making money. 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:12.240 So the defense in the first half probably played their 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:16.480 best game of the season for a half. What the 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:20.199 problem was is you had first in goal at the 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:24.520 six twice, first and goal at the six, you got 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:28.960 to score touchdowns. Unfortunately for this team, they came away 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:32.880 with a fumble into the end zone for a touchback, 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:36.880 and then you ended up kicking a field goal when 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:41.160 you should have had fourteen points. Granted right, first and 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.840 goal at the six got to score touchdowns. That's fourteen points. 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:48.679 All you had was three. If they had scored touchdowns 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:52.280 on those two possessions, they would have had the lead 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:55.079 at halftime. And you don't know what that's going to 0:09:55.160 --> 0:10:00.199 turn it around to end up being. Zeke has the 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.600 guy bond put his helmet right on the ball after 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.360 a three yard gain. It was a pretty good three 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:10.240 yard gain because it should have been a two yard loss. 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:12.480 Maybe it would have been better if the guy tackled 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.720 him once he got the handoff, and then the second 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:20.559 time around, you get the turnover, right, you get the turnover. 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:24.520 Your first in goal at the six Zeke gains three 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:28.400 yards and then on the second one, you guys, tell 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.000 me what happened with that pass in the end zone 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:34.160 because to me, it looked like it was supposed to 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:37.720 go to Ferguson and he pulled his hands back right, 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:43.240 and then it goes behind CD and C. Yeah he 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:47.199 said that because he fell on the ground, right. Ferguson said, 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:50.440 I thought it was for me, but he pulled his hands. 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.040 Back, so he said. 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:56.320 The quarterback said, I was throwing it to CD, but 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.040 I was I got hit, so you know, I didn't 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:02.000 know what happened after, right, So the bottom line is 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:06.199 he was throwing at the CD. Once again, make what 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:08.160 you're trying to do is be nice about it. 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:14.959 No, I'm not trying. He didn't. Both both of them shouldn't. 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.079 Have run that route, right, Yes, if somebody ran a 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:17.880 wrong because. 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:20.160 Either one of them could have caught it. And then 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:22.120 you're gonna tell me the sun was in your. 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:25.240 Eyes and now here we go, there we go. 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:28.600 He should he should have stopped. He was open, and 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:31.520 that's where he threw the ball and ended up behind him. 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:33.839 Hey, why didn't he just continue just snatching out of 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:38.480 the head. That's how Fergus had to do nobody cares about. 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:43.160 So anyway, you have that happen. And then on third down, 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:46.920 it's like, okay, we're gonna call another run. Here we're 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:49.640 at the three. What the what the three yard line? 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:54.280 And Cooper Bebe whiffs on Jalen Carter and I know 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.160 people whiff on him and he tackles him for a 0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:59.680 two yard loss. And now you're kicking a field goal. 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:05.520 You got to score touchdowns and they didn't, and this 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:08.240 is what happens. Then they get the ball back and 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:10.920 I went back and looked at it, you guys, and 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:17.920 the drive started with Carson getting beat fourteen yards, Carson 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:22.200 getting beat five yards, blitz and it was an incompletion, 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:28.560 Brown beating Carson for eighteen yards. Another blitz, and they 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:32.840 go in and score a touchdown from fourteen. Oh and 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:38.640 by the way, their guy the tight end caught a 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:43.440 ball in the end zone. Same end zone. Sundayn't getting 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:44.040 his eyes. 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:47.360 So this is gonna be a thing that like the 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:50.120 tours through the facility. 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:52.480 That thing telling you give me a break, do we 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:55.960 have to go tent and swills And still even though 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:58.480 you're down fourteen to six, it's a one score game 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:02.240 going into the third quarter, and then the defense broke down, 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.240 and it was it was a shame because if you 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:08.400 do what you should have done in the first half, 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.520 then you don't know how the second half's gonna play out. 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.560 I can tell you what offense the coordinators do, and 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:16.959 I tell you what this one would have done if 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:19.760 they were down fourteen points. He'dne went to chunk in 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:23.839 that thing. I promise you he'd have went to throwing it. 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:25.160 Instead of going to the short game. 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:28.040 Oh yeah, he'd have went to pumping it down the 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:32.000 field mid range along. You know, your stripes rise up 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:34.000 when you panic. You become who you are when you 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:38.479 when you're in panic situation. But the thing here fellas 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:44.440 I think, is you have to continue to play. Yeah, 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:48.200 and you have to start cleaning up your game. Like 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:52.480 you say, the young man Cooper BB whiffed. Can't have that? 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:55.000 You get you had your one for this game. Can't 0:13:55.320 --> 0:14:01.680 can't do that? Learn from your mistakes, get better, uh you? 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.480 And but the problem is you don't want them learning 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:06.920 on the fly in a game like this. 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:11.560 But they have to that when you see this is 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:15.760 this is one thing about great players versus players who 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:18.880 had to learn to play. Ever, soon all great player 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:22.640 came in as a ricket bumping and running, gunning and bumping. 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:24.680 Nate Newton had to learn. 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:27.320 Had to And so when somebody finally believed in me 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:29.600 and put me in a game, I had to learn 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:32.600 on the fly because I didn't get a lot of reps. 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:34.440 Well back then, we got a lot of reps right 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:37.080 against great players, but it's still a little bit different 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:37.600 in the game. 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:41.240 So Cooper are gonna have to learn. Uh. 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:44.760 And but once you see that, once you that can 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:49.320 never happen again. And these are the bumps in the 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:53.400 road that we're gonna face, and it's gonna be disheartening, 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:56.600 and we're gonna lose in a lot of different ways. 0:14:57.000 --> 0:15:01.480 But if these got I'm just no, yeah, yeah, But 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:04.520 if these guys continue to learn, the young and the 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:08.000 old continue to learn, to continue to adjust, and the 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:12.000 coaches see what they have and work within the perimeters, Yeah, 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:14.480 it may be a dumb That was a dumb game plan, 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.400 but you know what I shot right here on our 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:19.960 show saying it's got to be three and five step 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:23.160 drops until everybody gets acclimated. 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:26.400 Well, they and that's what their defense like y'all, they 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:27.800 ain't gonna throw this long earn. 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:30.560 And they they was coming up and they was tackling, 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:35.000 They wasn't missing. So the player got to realize he 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:37.360 gonna get me this ball early. I gotta make a play. 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:40.080 You have to make a play for a quarterback. Even 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:42.800 though we believe in Cooper Rush, somebody had to make 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:45.120 a play for this kid. Nobody made the play off. 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:48.520 Somebody had to make a play. So his offensive line 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:50.840 let him down. They completely let him down, thank you. 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:56.720 Not not in a lot of situations. This was a 0:15:56.880 --> 0:16:00.320 team effort. Because I'm looking at some routes here where 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:04.720 he barely missing. Guys. That's the timing this next game. 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:08.600 Thank god they got eight days. This next game is 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:11.960 gonna tell you way Cooper Rush y at because I 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:15.360 just don't believe that. You just like you walls. You 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:17.400 come off the you come off the bench, you a 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:19.960 cover corner. You didn't care you You was trying to 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:23.160 bump and run Tony and all these guys from day one. 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:28.280 That's a different mentality. Carson's not built like that. The 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:30.200 more you beat him, the further he backed up. 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:31.800 I thought he was going to back up out of 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:32.360 the stadium. 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:34.640 Well, he backed up to the bench because they brought 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:39.080 in Yeah, but you get with him, I know it. 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:43.359 Where did they throw the ball? Yeah, yeah at him 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:47.360 because after after Diggs had the interception in the end zone, 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:50.440 they didn't go over there. They weren't throwing to that side. 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:56.840 So these are fans. I'm not telling you how to think. 0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:59.640 You spend your money. You expect to win. I'm with you, 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:06.520 But you were twelve and five last year. You were 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:10.040 a home field guy for the first round. You was 0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:14.160 literally like either the second or third seed a second second, 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:17.480 so that means you was first in your division. You 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:21.720 earned these games you're getting today, right, you earned them, 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:23.480 so you're gonna have to live through them. 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:25.560 I'm gonna live through with you. Ever is gonna live 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:27.879 through them, and Mickey's gonna be forced to shake your 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:31.040 head over there like you do now. But this is 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:32.520 what this is who we are. 0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:39.000 You drafted a center is the number one important position 0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:42.280 to me, and I left tackle the number two most 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:47.920 important position. These guys are struggling. This is the game 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:49.680 that we play, all right. 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:53.560 I thought Austin Richards did pretty well. 0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:55.560 He did, so he didn't. I don't want I don't 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:59.520 want to Jinxon. He did nice, he played nice. I 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:02.919 saw him. I'm coming out of the locker room because 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:07.760 during training camp. You know, I'm not like I'm not 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:09.639 like Charles Hayley. I don't try to be a coach. 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:13.199 But I see a player and I like him, and 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:15.720 I awesome Rich. I've talked to him every day. Hey man, 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:18.120 just keep your head up. You know you're the first 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:20.080 guy in. You're the first guy in. I mean every 0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:23.159 time somebody was sick. Left tackle, this day, left guard, 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:26.160 this day in the preseason, left tackle, this game, moving 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:29.040 from left tackle, left guard, and you hear me say, 0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:33.000 why don't they play this guy? Now they've played this guy. 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:37.480 Now you can't sit up and tell him anything anymore. 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:39.520 You know how you can say, well, this is you. 0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:43.520 If something go wrong with your starter, he's your first 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:46.720 guy in. That's that's what we do know. As so 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:51.440 now he's getting confidence. And I'm not saying going against 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:54.560 Sweat or Graham or none of those guys. I don't 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:57.119 look at them as a top six or seven elite 0:18:57.200 --> 0:18:59.000 guy because I don't know what Austin would have did 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:01.720 from Cleveland than to now where we was facing just 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:05.720 one beast out to another. But today he did okay, 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:08.760 and it gives the coaches confidence that things get a 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:09.399 little shaky. 0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:11.679 He can play guard or he can play tackle. 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:13.960 Better give the other guy a little incentive. 0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:16.160 Yeah, it may. 0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:20.199 But one thing we know around here, if you a 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:23.720 first round pick, I've been paying paid a lot of money, 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:24.720 You're gonna play. 0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:26.720 Well, we'll see. 0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:30.639 I'm just, I'm just, I know, I know, I know people. 0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:33.480 I want to go back to what Garrett would always 0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:37.080 say that this is a meritocracy, is you get what 0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:41.120 you earned, right, and doesn't matter where you're drafted. One 0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:42.960 guy was in the first one guy. 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:46.719 Was in the business. Jimmy Parcels. I would believe what 0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:51.960 you're saying. This is not Jimmy Persel. This is a 0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:54.960 different animal, this is a different. 0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:59.440 For this first NFL start, I thought he played awfully, awfully, well, 0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:01.719 he played good. There was no jail breaks. 0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:02.880 Yeah, he played good. 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:05.119 Now in the running game, it's hard to say, but 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:08.359 I watched a few. I thought he did a really 0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:10.720 against well. 0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:15.200 Josh Sweat sweat and joshwat is good. Yeah he had 0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:19.119 five sacks. Uh, he played and I can't think of 0:20:19.160 --> 0:20:23.200 the other kid. They got another nice outside linebacker. All 0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:26.280 together they have twenty two sacks. Josh Sweats led them 0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:30.440 up into that game with five, Jalen uh Carter had three. 0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:31.120 Uh. 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:36.360 I think the offensive line played fairly well, but what 0:20:36.560 --> 0:20:41.199 hurt was that the inconsistencies with him making connections with 0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:45.639 his receivers and then when he did dump off that 0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:47.400 Eagles was right there. 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:52.240 Yeah, yeah, going down they knew what they knew what 0:20:52.320 --> 0:20:54.719 was coming well, and then in the second half they 0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:57.120 went down the field twice. In the end, we gotta 0:20:57.160 --> 0:21:00.680 go to break. But the two plays that I out 0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:04.879 was the one deep pass UH to Jalen Brooks that 0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:08.640 he caught, but he got pushed out of bounds. He 0:21:08.760 --> 0:21:12.760 ran the route too close to the sideline, right, because 0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:16.480 if he's further towards the numbers, then he leaves him 0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:17.400 some space to. 0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:20.000 Catch the ABC of being right. 0:21:20.280 --> 0:21:25.199 Yes, he needed that blue line they there for. And 0:21:25.240 --> 0:21:27.360 then the other one he raped. 0:21:27.200 --> 0:21:29.959 Down the scene out here just right. He hit him 0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:33.520 right down the scene and he kind of overthrown. And 0:21:33.560 --> 0:21:36.240 that goes to because he had perfect protection. That goes 0:21:36.280 --> 0:21:38.919 to you know, it's one thing to work out there 0:21:38.920 --> 0:21:43.400 in practice when I'm live. See that's the disadvantage of 0:21:43.520 --> 0:21:47.639 not having back to back hard practices in training camp 0:21:47.800 --> 0:21:52.720 where your wide receiver was enough. And y'all forgive me, 0:21:53.680 --> 0:21:56.640 never ever think that a wide receiver was your job 0:21:56.720 --> 0:21:59.960 off the ball. He should always be running wide or 0:22:00.440 --> 0:22:05.200 to give the quarterback a chance to see what can 0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:06.000 happen in the game. 0:22:07.040 --> 0:22:10.000 If and then they tried Trey Lance, and we'll get 0:22:10.000 --> 0:22:13.919 into that the next segment. Trey Lance going downfield, the 0:22:14.000 --> 0:22:18.400 deep one. He never Tobert, never looked for the ball. 0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:23.520 The guy intercepted it right his back was to the interception. 0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:25.040 It's like, what are you doing? 0:22:25.240 --> 0:22:28.360 I explained that, explained that to y'all. 0:22:28.520 --> 0:22:31.080 Okay, thank you very much, and we're gonna go off 0:22:31.119 --> 0:22:34.840 here now for a second here talking Cowboys on Dallas 0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:38.120 Cowboys dot com. 0:22:38.440 --> 0:22:41.479 Star Sports Tours is the only official fan travel partner 0:22:41.480 --> 0:22:45.720 of the Dallas Cowboys, offering exclusive game weekend travel packages 0:22:45.920 --> 0:22:49.840 for the pregame, sideline access and photo ops with current players, 0:22:50.160 --> 0:22:53.560 cheerleaders and Cowboy legends.
