Speaker 1: the Star and it's a happy Tuesday here at the Start.

11
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: Cowboys get a big win last night, division win. They

12
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: win forty one to twenty one over the hated Philadelphia Eagles,

13
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: and uh, we just in there. Yeah, you know fans.

14
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: Fans are part of that. Fans hate the Eagles, like

15
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: so it's it's good, it's perfect and uh and it

16
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: was a game that that I think we all I

17
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: don't think there are really a lot of surprises from

18
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: that game because I think all of us picked them

19
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: last week and I think we all picked them to

20
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: win handily and they did. I don't know if we

21
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: picked them win that handily, but we certainly thought this

22
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: would be a lot side of game because I think

23
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are just a better team. But let's start

24
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: where we usually start the day after a game, and

25
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: I'd like for you guys to give me, uh, just

26
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: kind of your big picture takeaway from that game. Let's

27
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: start with you, Dave, LF, M F and G. How

28
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: about that. That's my big takeaway. That's how I feel. Uh,

29
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: we're going in this morning. That was right, That was

30
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: I said this. I said this on the radio a

31
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: little bit ago. It wasn't It wasn't as clean as

32
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: it could have been. It wasn't a perfect game. There

33
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: are no perfect games. But that Mike McCarthy's going to

34
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: frame that in his office as like, this is the

35
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: way that I want this team to win games. It

36
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: was every It was all the hallmarks of what this

37
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: team is capable of, in my opinion. An explosive offense

38
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: with an absurd amount of ways to beat you, a

39
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: ground game that can absolutely punish you and wear you down,

40
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: a passing game that has six legitimate options that can

41
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: hurt you. And that's without Michael Gallup even being healthy

42
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: enough to be part of it. A quarterback who is

43
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: my god, Dak Prescott, is just in such command of

44
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: this offense. The confidence it just like radiates off the

45
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: field and all of that gives you a lead and

46
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: allows your defense to be opportunistic and make plays and

47
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: do things like pick off Jalen Hurts for a touchdown.

48
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: It's a formula that we've seen work here time and

49
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: time again, but maybe even more explosively because of the

50
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: amount of talent that they have on offense, and was

51
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: just a thorough beat down. It was fun, nick Um.

52
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I thought, you know, you said there weren't

53
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: a lot of surprises. I was surprised in the way

54
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: that this offensive line um flipped the script, and not

55
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: always in a in a great way, but they ran.

56
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: They ran the ball down their throat. They really couldn't

57
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: pass block very well, but they could run it and

58
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: they got into the red zone and ran it in.

59
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: I thought that was impressive. I mean, usually this offensive line,

60
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: the way it's been built, it's been a little bit

61
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: more I wouldn't say finesse line, but they were a

62
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: little more athletic and don't have as much problems with

63
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: the passing. But they kind of did last night, but

64
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: they were able to just kind of run it, and

65
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: that set the tone for the entire game. That one

66
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: driver they had a first and twenty they overcame. They

67
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: had a first at nineteen, overcame that and still scored

68
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: a touchdown. I mean, I just thought, like Dave said,

69
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: I thought, Dak is just masterful. I mean, his stat

70
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: line is amazing. I mean that that's that's it. That's

71
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: what you want right there. It's not a three hundred

72
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: yard game to thirty six because they're winning and they're

73
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: winning and they could run it and the running backs

74
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: have one hundred and fifty yards and he's tell us

75
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. It takes whatever. Not worried if Cooper's stats

76
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: are big, not worried about seeding. Lamp just gonna take

77
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: what they give him, yep, and not just take it aggressively,

78
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: take it what they give him. And I'd love that

79
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: about this team right now, because if you want to

80
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: take away the wide receivers, then guess what. The tight

81
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: ends will kill you if you want to. By the way,

82
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: if you want to look at this team, even from

83
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: the standpoint of let's say, for example, God forbid, running

84
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: back goes down, You got another one. Tight end goes down,

85
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: You got another one. You've already lost the receiver. You

86
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: got others right there are When you look at this

87
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: team the way it's constructed offensively, it's not just will

88
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: aggressively take what you give us. We also got backup,

89
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: and we got backups on backups. So it's like they

90
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: have a They have built an offense that really outside

91
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: of the quarterback, and that's the big gap. Outside of

92
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: the quarterback. They can sustain a lot of different hits

93
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: and still be able to find a way to move

94
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: the ball. And that's what you love the most, what

95
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: I love the most about this team. This offense is

96
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: in amiba or water. You know, it takes the it

97
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: puts on the shape of the vessel that it's in.

98
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: It's way too deep for how a little sleep I

99
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: got last name, I don't know. The frustly said b

100
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: water and the Cowboys are water. I mean, like that's

101
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: my point. They can kill you. They'll run for two

102
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: hundred yards if you want them to, or they'll murder.

103
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: I mean, Dak can throw for four hundred if you

104
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen him do it. And don't come

105
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: at me. That like, oh, that's not a winning strategy

106
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: that game, they had the lead with the minute to play.

107
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like they were coming back in

108
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: garbage time. Like people like to criticize DAK for. They

109
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: can win whatever way you want to present. And it's

110
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: fun to think teams are gonna switch up. They're gonna

111
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: see this and they're gonna they're gonna switch up and

112
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: try to find new ways to combat this, and Kellen

113
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: Moore is gonna say, cool, well we're this this week.

114
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: Have fun and it's just it's fun to watch. Speaking

115
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: of Kellen Moore, man every time every game that he

116
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 1: calls this year, I've walked away from the game being like, man,

117
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: he is as as Bucky always says, he's in his bag,

118
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: like he's coming up with the right calls at the

119
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: right time, and some of them, by the way, don't work.

120
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: There were moments last night, the end around down in

121
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: in in goal to ghost situation. There are a lot

122
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: of people can question that I don't because I look

123
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: at that and I'm like, hey, I like his creativity.

124
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: Not everything he's gonna call it's gonna work, but I

125
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: like the fact that he's just trying different things, and

126
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 1: he has a method to what he's doing and I

127
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: think most of the time it's working. It's a joy

128
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 1: to watch through three weeks. Yeah, I mean, you're right

129
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: that down there. They they kind of they messed that

130
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: up a little bit. Um. What I don't understand is

131
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: that you know they love having McGovern in there as

132
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: as a big fullback. Um, Chris, he wasn't in there

133
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: on those on that play on that fourth and fourth

134
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: and one, and but you wanted him to just destroy

135
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks back. So I don't know that's that's a

136
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: little weird, but hey whatever. Yeah, yeah, he said just

137
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: run him at that. I'm like, no, don't run him

138
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: at deck. Just hit back in the back and through

139
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: he worked for Reggie Bush. Yeah, it's true. Score young

140
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: quarterback that hadn't had some hadn't had a big injury.

141
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, don't hurt my quarterback. Why can't we get

142
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: this guy cam over the goal line? Well, they did

143
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: have it have an angle. They did have an angle

144
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: that was high if you remember the high, but it

145
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: wasn't and it was it wasn't right on it. If

146
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: it would have been right on, then you could actually

147
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: see it. No, this is this ball would have been

148
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: still been covered. Like that's the problem with that whole thing.

149
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: You couldn't see whether they couldn't really see. Y'all are

150
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: on the right track, but you're not going far enough

151
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. Why don't why don't both noses

152
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: of the football have a chip in it? Look and

153
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: you can say, let's consult the eagle eye, just like

154
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: Tennis has been doing since I was like five. Yeah,

155
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, yeah, it went like yep, there it

156
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: is little graphics like a red light. I'm not absolutely

157
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: with you. I'm absolutely as a matter of fact, you

158
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: want to talk about technology. Between that and just having

159
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: a sideline where they just track with a laser where

160
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: the ball is and where it needs to go for

161
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: the first down, there is no question of whether you

162
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: crossed the plane for a first down our goal line,

163
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: Like all this stuff is very easily doable. Technology is

164
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: the most profitable American sports league. And they're like, these

165
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: two pudgy dudes with chains are gonna mark the progress

166
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: of the ball just to emphasize, as they typically all, Yeah,

167
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: to emphasize that they're not at the top of their

168
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: game when no offense to those guys. I could stand

169
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: to spend more time in the gym too, But that's

170
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: just it's ridiculous. They're like, well, that guy's butt got

171
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: in the way, so I guess we don't know if

172
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: DA's like, are you kidding me? Stops. It is always

173
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: weird to me, Like it never matters until the end

174
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: of the game, but it is weird. Like when the

175
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: guy just goes down and the guy comes running from

176
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: the sideline and just gets the ball and cleans it

177
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: off and then puts it down. I'm like, this isn't right.

178
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: The one that gets me is the punt that goes

179
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: out of bounds and the guy's back here and he's

180
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: just running, like you have no freaking clue where that

181
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: ball When they're just gonna run to you get tired

182
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: and you say twenty eight yard line unbelievable. I mean,

183
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: did not wind up mattering, but I that's that is

184
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: as incensed as I have ever been, probably since the

185
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: des catch. I just really yeah, yeah, because okay, it

186
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: was ridiculous and talk about I mean, all the things

187
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: that happened last night. Yeah, d just decides to show

188
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: up at that rib. Mike McCarthy, that's probably the best

189
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: part of it. I wish we had video of that.

190
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: That would have been so great. I wasn't I actually

191
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: wasn't there. I was in the overflow room talking to

192
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: Parsons and Zach, but Rob was there. Yeah. DA's just

193
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: as if, yeah, as if that wasn't fun enough, Dad's

194
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: Bryant sticks his head in and he's just like, hey.

195
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: During Mike's prescott, Mike, I caught that ball in Green Bay.

196
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: You know that's also He's wandering around the tunnels, just

197
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: dapping everybody up, just like a family reunion. And he's

198
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: wearing an eighty eight jersey and I was like, does

199
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: you're not really wearing your own jersey, are you? Nope?

200
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: It was the Ceedee Lamb jersey. Just showing love for

201
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: the young guy. Ah, I love that guy. Yeah. Was

202
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: he was awesome, Like he was so excited and he

203
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: could not wait. He was waiting like like a little

204
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: kid on Christmas. He could not wait for Jerry Jones

205
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: to come out of the locker rooms. We could talk

206
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: to Jerry, and you know, of course Jerry was in

207
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: that mood. We're just you know, so excited and everybody

208
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: and you know what I thought was cool too. I

209
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: know we're going on to Tanni, but I thought it

210
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: was it was neat he was down there, and you know,

211
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: we remember Dez's career in different ways, a lot of

212
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: different things happening. But when you see the practice squad guys,

213
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: the Jaquan Hardis and guys that are running off the

214
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: field and all that, and they see and that, they

215
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: do a triple take like that's right, and it's like

216
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: heydes and then they just stopped because it's this is

217
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: our generation. They're like, can I get a picture? He

218
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: took more pictures with guys that he doesn't that never

219
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 1: played with and all that. He's days, you know, and

220
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: players love him and fans love him and stuff like that.

221
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: So I thought that was cool, you know, the cherry

222
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: on top of a very nice Sunday. Yeah, I mean

223
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: it was good. It was It was a lot of

224
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys royalty, obviously because of what was happening at halftime,

225
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: but that that was the part that made me a

226
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: little nervous. If there was ever anything that made me

227
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: nervous about that game, Nick, you and I've experienced this

228
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: a lot games where they're doing celebrations, they don't always

229
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: end up to work out too well for the Cowboys,

230
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: and so I was a little bit like, man, I

231
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: every time of celebration, I'm a little bit anxious, but

232
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: it mant it by even by halftime once they get

233
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: to that one time, well it was bad though. It

234
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: was really bad. No, I'm talking about Baltimore. They're closing

235
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: the stadium game. Yeah, okay, okay, yeah, some time about Watchington.

236
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: That was horrible. That was a horrible night as they

237
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: were closing Texas Stadium. But no, I mean, I mean

238
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: it just it was just like, even by halftime, you

239
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: already got the sense, oh, Dallas is going to run

240
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: away with this game. Of course, Dave, you and I

241
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 1: were kind of going back and forth like are they

242
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: really maybe they will. It's twenty seven. We weren't going

243
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: back and forth. You just you ride the emotion of

244
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: whatever's happening in a game. And I'm just like, haven't

245
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: you been doing this for twenty years? Like don't you

246
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: just just pull back, just pull back and take the

247
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: whole whole thing in. And what I told you was

248
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: the two teams I wrote route the most for Dallas

249
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: and the Longhorns. They have put me through a lot.

250
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: I get it a lot, and so I got PTSD.

251
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: I don't trust anything anything that creeps up, it looks

252
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: a little funny. I'm like, well, WHOA, what's going on here? Derek?

253
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 1: Just to give y'all some content. Like before halftime, Derek

254
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 1: was like, man, you should start writing your story. You

255
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: can get out of here early tonight. And then like

256
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 1: one play went against the Cowboys and Derek's like, oh

257
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 1: my god, it's happening again. I was like, dude, how

258
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: do you live like this? Like just don't know. So anyway,

259
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: it's bad. All right, let's jump into the game. I

260
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: wanted to go through some of the storylines that we

261
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: talked about going into the game and see how they

262
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: turned out for the Cowboys. One of the things we

263
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: talked about last week was Philadelphia. Philadelphia was eighteenth and

264
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: rushing defense. They were allowing one hundred and twenty yards

265
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: per game. It's signaled that again Dallas, coming off a

266
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: game with they had one hundred and ninety eight yards

267
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: on the ground against the Chargers, that this may be

268
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: a game where they would rely on the run again

269
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: as a team. They had one hundred and sixty yards

270
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: rushing on forty one carry Zeke was seventeen for ninety

271
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: five yards a five point six average, followed that up

272
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 1: with eleven for sixty with a five point five average.

273
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: What were your thoughts on the Dallas rushing attack last night.

274
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I was impressed. I thought they'd be

275
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: able to run the ball, but I thought they were dominant.

276
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: I mean, the stat sheet says they only ran for

277
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: three point nine to carry, but Lamb's end around and

278
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: some dack scrambles are thrown in. I mean, if you

279
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 1: take the two running the running backs were averaging almost

280
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: six yards a carry. I thought that was really impressive.

281
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: I know Philly doesn't have great linebackers, but Hargrave Cox,

282
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: you know, they that speaks for itself, and they just

283
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 1: took it to him. I mean they ran the ball

284
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: twenty five times in the first half. And I wrote

285
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: about this last night. It was it was vintage Zeke

286
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: in the sense of just beating somebody down until they

287
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: don't want it anymore. In the fourth quarter, I thought

288
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: that's exactly what was happening, yep. I mean I thought

289
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 1: he ran as well as we've seen in a while

290
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: and just got some some tough yards and finished off

291
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: some runs and five yards, I mean as long as

292
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: was a thirteen yard. There was a couple in there

293
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: that he just that one I remember down by the

294
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 1: goal line where he just basically was like, well, I'm

295
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: just gonna run at you and just run you over.

296
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: And he's getting another three four, and he really pushed

297
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 1: the pile his way. And that's something I've been critical

298
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: on with this offensive line, is you're gonna have to

299
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: push their way back in. And I really I thought

300
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: that having first and night, first and ten. You know

301
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: how I am by first and goal at the ten

302
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: and a nine, I mean it's like a death sentence. Well,

303
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: first and goal from the nineteen, I mean, just zerline,

304
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: just get out there, I mean, you know, and they

305
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: get six yards the Cooper, a ten yard run by Zeke,

306
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: and then on third and three just run it in.

307
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: I thought that was as impressive because that that really

308
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: changed the game. Instead of it being seventeen seven, it's

309
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: twenty to seven because they missed the extra point. You know,

310
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: kickers have to mess up things. But it is funny though,

311
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: how it's that you talk about riding the wave. I mean,

312
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: he missed an extra point and it's like what's wrong

313
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: with this guy? I mean the guy that drilled the

314
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: fifty six yards to beat the Chargers. Or It's funny though,

315
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: because back and forth, I can't get out of the habit,

316
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: even knowing that Zerlines had his struggles, Like they score

317
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: the touchdown and I immediately I'm like, Okay, what was

318
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: that scoring drive? What did they do? Who did this?

319
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: Who did that? And you're putting it in context and

320
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: you look up and you're like, god, they missed? What

321
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: the And for so many years with Dan Bailey you

322
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: could get away with that, and so I have to

323
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: like train myself like, Nope, you gotta watch the extra

324
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: point too. Yeah, you don't know what's gonna happen. I

325
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: was gonna save this. But since we're already talking about it,

326
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: do you get a little bit concerned? Though? I know

327
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: you say, yeah, he drilled that fifty six yard to

328
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: win that game for you last week. Not a lot

329
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: of kickers in the league can do that. But the

330
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: number of missus d he's head and you're talking about

331
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: some extra points on top of that. You started to me,

332
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: at least I start to get a little bit concerned

333
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: about consistency because you want to be able to just

334
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: count on your kickers in certain situations is something we

335
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: used to talk about all the time when they were

336
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: having more, you know, kind of turnover at the kicker position.

337
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: You prefer the guy that can make really big kicks,

338
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: really long kicks, or do you prefer the guy that

339
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: forty and in extra points even forty five in in

340
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: he's money, He's gonna make it every single time. And

341
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: I kind of just like the consistency that does bother

342
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: me a little bit. What about y'all? Yeah, it should, no,

343
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: I mean, nobody should feel great about it. And I

344
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: just think the reality is there's only kind of like

345
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: with quarterbacks, Like how many teams in the league just

346
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: have a kicker where they're like, we feel great about

347
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: this all the time every time. It's just cowboys were

348
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: spoiled to have it with Dan for as long as

349
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: they did, and they don't have it right now. I don't.

350
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: I don't have an answer to it yet. I'm not

351
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: ready to fire him. Yeah yeah, and I'm a better

352
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: options I personally. What I just need you to be

353
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: able to hit from forty to fifty, honestly, because that's

354
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: when you're getting down close in the red zone or

355
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: near the red zone and the drive stalls, and that's

356
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: not an easy field goal, but one that you should make.

357
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: That's what I care about. Points you should care about.

358
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I care about all of them at the

359
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: end of the day. But if you can reliably hit

360
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: those mid range kicks, I think that that's more likely

361
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: to win you and lose you games, understanding that you

362
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: don't want to miss. This is not Brett Maher situation

363
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: where the guy, you know, he's hitting sixty yards and

364
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: you don't know if he could kick anything else. Um.

365
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, is that that's not the second

366
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: miss it's the first miscester point. But the one in

367
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: Tampa was I think shorter than that. Um No, then

368
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: he missed it. Yeah, he has one two and he's

369
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: missed three basically inside of thirty five yards. Um, that's

370
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: that's concerned. That's concerning in three games. It is, Um,

371
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: there's not. I mean the guys out there on the

372
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 1: street are on the street because they've missed some too.

373
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: So it's all about you know, who's the guy they

374
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: brought in two years ago? I mean Kai four Bath.

375
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: They brought in Kai four Bath. I think he was

376
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: twenty and twenty I mean extra points, field goals. But

377
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: he that was a good stretch because he's had bad stretches.

378
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: That leads you to the streets, and that's that's what happened.

379
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: So I mean, I I trust him more than I don't.

380
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's you know, it's it's shaky. We're just

381
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna circle it and keep an eye on it.

382
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: And I don't know what else you can do about

383
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: it other than say it's concerning. Probably not so concerning

384
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: that you need to make a roster move, but hopefully

385
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't bite you in a worse way if you're gonna, yeah,

386
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: let's have that happened in twenty point. When I mean

387
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: not not nail biters. I mean you're gonna bring you know,

388
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: Hira lahu or whatever. I'm sorry, I don't know that.

389
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: I mean, like, do you think that would make anyone

390
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: feel good? And the tough thing about kickers is it's

391
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 1: I don't even know if it's and I don't know this.

392
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: You guys may know this. I don't know that. It's

393
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: a situation where okay, okay, kicker, we're gonna work on

394
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: this and we're gonna get you more reliable, Like at

395
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: this stage of his career, he knows what he's supposed

396
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: to do. He does it every single day. It's just

397
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, got a little bit too much of

398
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: it this way, or I got too high on my

399
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: whatever it was, Like, I don't know that that you

400
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 1: can work that out. It's only a mental thing at

401
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: this point of your kicker having to find that mental consistency,

402
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: and so I don't even know how you make him better.

403
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: It's very similar to Zeke's fumbling issues last year. Like

404
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: you think Ezekiel Elliott doesn't know the proper way to

405
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: carry a football, like ass happens. I mean, you gotta

406
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: fix it, but I don't. There's not some cure all

407
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: of like like Greg's airline knows how to kick an

408
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: extra point, you just gotta do it, like I don't.

409
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: I don't know what else to say. And that's the

410
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: part that's worth something to me. I guess is that

411
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: I don't know how they fix this other than Greg

412
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: just getting it together right, and that's you can do.

413
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: You're relying a lot on him getting it together. And

414
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: by the way, if you're gonna have designs on doing

415
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: the things that we think Dallas has the capabilities of doing.

416
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: They're gonna be playing some really good games, and those

417
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: extra points are gonna matter. Those field goals that are

418
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: thirty something yards that you just count on, they're gonna matter.

419
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: So I think they gotta they gotta figure out a

420
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: way to get him to a point where he's able

421
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:50,719
Speaker 1: to do that more consistently. All Right, it's like our

422
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: first break when we come back. I did have a

423
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: couple more questions about the running game, and particularly the

424
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 1: split split on carries. We saw Zeke get a lot

425
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: more yesterday in the way of touch. I want to

426
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: ask you, guys, if that's going to be something that

427
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: we should probably expect more of this kind of split

428
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: than what we saw maybe in the game against the Charges.

429
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,160

00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: Welcome back. It is the second segment of the break

472
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: Life from the s WBC Mortgage Studios. At the Star,

473
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 1: We're talking about the Cowboys big win over Philadelphia forty

474
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: one to twenty one. Cowboys moved to the lead of

475
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 1: the NFC East in this early part of the season.

476
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: Three games in they are two and one, the other

477
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: Philadelphia and Washington are both one and two, and Giants

478
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: pulling up the rear a O and three. It's over

479
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: and quite frankly, I'm not even sure that the Giants

480
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 1: haven't played the best of those three teams if you

481
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: look at all their games, But they're sitting at oh

482
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: and three. The other two teams are at one in too,

483
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 1: and so you know, I don't know about that. The

484
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: Giants look like trash. Bossington certainly doesn't look great, So

485
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I just that this division,

486
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: I think is obviously right there for the Cowboys to

487
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: take it. I don't see really anybody posing much of

488
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: a threat from what we've seen so far, but well,

489
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: we'll see. And injuries are still a part of games.

490
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: That's always the part of the wild card with the NFL, right, Yeah,

491
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: And that's what's kind of interesting about this team is

492
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: that you know, you're you're hoping, you know, this team

493
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: stays healthy, but they're not really when you think about it.

494
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 1: I mean, you got DeMarcus Lawrence, your best pass rusher

495
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: and best defensive end. That's out. Michael Gallup's out. I mean,

496
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: Leo Collins is out right now. And you know, I

497
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: just I don't know the other than d law because

498
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: I think you could definitely, you know, have him help.

499
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: But I mean, I'm not saying that Cedric Wilson is

500
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: just as good. But like in a pick your poison

501
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: type offense, there's gonna be games where Michael Gallop goes

502
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: to for seventeen and has you don't need the Gallot

503
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 1: to be successful. As the point, you can be successful

504
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: without Michael Gallop. I mean I think you could. I

505
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: don't want to put this to the test, but you

506
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: could probably be successful without any one of those three.

507
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: As long as you have two of the three, I

508
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 1: think you're okay. Actually, I will take it one step further,

509
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: And what I'm going to say from now on on

510
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: our show is I don't even want to say. If

511
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,360
Speaker 1: they stay healthy, if Dak stays healthy, yes, they can

512
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: do pretty much what they're doing right now. They have

513
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: they have depth in the right places, and he is

514
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: the trigger man that makes everything go. The defense feeds

515
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: off this offense. The offense feeds off Dad. So if

516
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: Dak is there, I think the sky's the limit for

517
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: this team. And also, to Nick's point, as much as

518
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: last year sucked, how much did it help to get

519
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: some seasoning for those guys who need I mean, is

520
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: Terrence Steele look as good as he looks without just

521
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 1: getting thrown into the flat fire last year? Guys along

522
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: the defensive front. I know Dorn's Armstrong didn't play in

523
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: this game, but he seems like he's taken a step forward. Uh.

524
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: Cedric Wilson got opportunities last year for similar reasons. Uh,

525
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: I think the best. We don't have any other choice.

526
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, are we twenty five minutes into the show

527
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 1: without bringing up Trayvon? Well, We're gonna get to that

528
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: because I got a whole segment we gotta do on

529
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: the defense, and I think it is one of the

530
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: most fascinating turnarounds that I've witnessed with the Cowboys in

531
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,199
Speaker 1: a one year span with young players. Dalton Schultz being

532
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: another one. I mean he is he is a badassah

533
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: And like like a year ago, at this time, we

534
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 1: were like this guy worth a crap. We were like,

535
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: is he gonna make it out of training camp, like, yeah,

536
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 1: he's he that might be the most even maybe more

537
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 1: impressive than Terrence Steele. Uh. And we said all through

538
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: training camp, I was like, it's gonna be a committee.

539
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: They're gonna do this and do that. And Blake Jarwin

540
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 1: still has a role to play. I mean, he's had

541
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: a couple nice catches in every game this year, but

542
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: it's clearly Schultz's show right now, and it should be

543
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: based on what he's doing. And you got a decision

544
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: to make. I mean, I understand. I'm just saying that

545
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 1: you have to talk about he's a free agent. I mean, gallup,

546
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: I mean, do you want to really let him go

547
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: at this point? Let's let's I know, but you I know,

548
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: I know, I I know. I'm I'm just laughing because

549
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: that's the nature of football is you've got to start

550
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: thinking about this stuff. And I'm sure they are still,

551
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 1: like I'm sure Stephen and Will are thinking about it.

552
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: They have to. They may just be like, hey, let's

553
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: get this thing done in the in the bye week er.

554
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: And then of course his agents smarts like we don't

555
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,959
Speaker 1: think no, We'll wait. Yeah, so you know, and and

556
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: I'm just saying the free agents that that they have

557
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: they have some free agents. It's it is early to

558
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: think about it, but I mean with with Connor Williams

559
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: and Randy Gregory and man Michael Gallup and Cedric Wilson

560
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 1: and Dalton Schultz. I mean, and don't forget this is

561
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: the other part to that. I think both of your

562
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: coordinators might be out the door when you come to

563
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: it offseason. So right now, what I've already decided my mind,

564
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: you better enjoy this year and you better get the

565
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: most you can get out of it. Because the turnaround

566
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,719
Speaker 1: that Quinn has gotten from this defense and what we

567
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: already talked about, what Kelly Moore is doing every week,

568
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: Like if that continues throughout this year, the likelihood that

569
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: those guys get opportunities to go on and be head

570
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: coaches again, or at least for Quinn again, it's pretty strong.

571
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: I'm not everything y'all just said is right, but I

572
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: just hate that we're doing no. But that's the part

573
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: of being nervous, like, oh my god, You've got to

574
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: take advantage of this opportunity because you may not have

575
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: this opportunity once you get past this year. This may

576
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: be one of those years where everything has come together

577
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: at this moment. You better get the most you can

578
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:35,959
Speaker 1: get out of it because everything may change next year.

579
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk a little bit more. I did

580
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: have one more question for you guys on the running backs.

581
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: We look at the split and we've been talking a

582
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 1: lot about this over the first two weeks, But this game,

583
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 1: Zeke had twenty touches, Pollard had twelve. It was clear

584
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 1: to me anyway, even from the beginning of the game,

585
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: before the game began, when Zeke Grant runs out there

586
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: as your offensive captain, that I think they were trying

587
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: to make a statement. Zeke's still very very very important

588
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: what we do, and I expected that they were going

589
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: to ride him, and they absolutely did. Is this more

590
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: of kind of what we probably can't expect throughout the

591
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: year that Zeke still is going to get the bulk

592
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,719
Speaker 1: of the carries. There will be games when Pollard's being

593
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,959
Speaker 1: used a little bit more because of what he offers

594
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 1: for that particular game, but Zeke is still your main guy. Well,

595
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: and I think this is part of the reason I

596
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 1: thought last week was so weird. It was the same thing.

597
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: I know, Pollard had more carries and had one hundred

598
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: yards he's still I think he got thirty eight or

599
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 1: thirty five percent of the snaps last week, and Zeke

600
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: got like sixty five. It was seventy thirty last night.

601
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: It just so happened. Zeke looked more like the work

602
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: horse who took all these probably got more of the

603
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: ball carries. Right, even though he was out there less snap,

604
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: the share of the of the snaps was the same

605
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: as it was last week. And Yeah, I think that's

606
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: what we can expect. It's always going to fluctuate. It

607
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: could go anywhere from twenty five percent to forty percent,

608
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: but I think Zeke is going to hover between sixty

609
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: and seventy five depending on the game. And I think

610
00:28:55,960 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 1: that's right. I think they're playing this exactly the right way.

611
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: I mean, one hundred percent agree with all that. I

612
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: think that. Um, I just I like the way Zeke

613
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: is running the ball right now. I mean he looks

614
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: like a guy that is focused on the fumbles. I mean,

615
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,479
Speaker 1: he's definitely cleaning that up. He's also looked like a

616
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: guy that that when he you know, he looked leaner

617
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: this year and he's running that way. I mean, he's

618
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: you can just kind of tell there's a little bit

619
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: more burst. And and I love what's tappening with Pollard

620
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: because at the end of the year, we've seen Zeke

621
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: I mean, gets a lot of carries and he kind

622
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: of wears him down. Right now, I think these two

623
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: guys together will will help each other. And I mean,

624
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: if Corey Clement can get three carries at the end

625
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: of the game, I mean, and and Cooper rush handon

626
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: in the ball, I mean, that's that's a good sign

627
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: to the d of the game. Um, let's let's move

628
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: to the defensive side of the ball. I want to

629
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: start first, we're talking about Philadelphia strategy. I found this

630
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: shocking when I looked at the post game statistics, uh

631
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: Dallas Hell. Philadelphia to sixty four yards rushing on twelve carries.

632
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: That was a five point three average. But they only

633
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: had two rushing opportunities for their primary back Sanders, and

634
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: one of those was a twenty four yard run. Were

635
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: you as shocked as I was that they didn't get

636
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: their running back more involved in that game and at

637
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: least try it more, even if even if it didn't work.

638
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: It seemed like they were having a hard time getting

639
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: a rhythm and he had one really big run. Are

640
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: you surprised that they didn't use him more? Yeah, I'm

641
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: surprised that anybody wouldn't try to attack this team on

642
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: the ground after what we saw last year. And clearly

643
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: they're playing much better. But has anybody really and truly

644
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: tested them that way? I mean, Tampa through the ball

645
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: fifty times. It was all Herbert last week. Nobody's really

646
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: committed to that, and the only the only thing I

647
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: can come up with is just that. And I can

648
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: picture a coach saying this, because I've heard Jason Garrett

649
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: do it like a million times. It's just the game

650
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: sort of got away from them. I mean they could

651
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: the Eagles. I mean they could not establish any kind

652
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: of rhythm. I'm looking at three plays, three plays, three plays,

653
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: four plays, five plays. That was their first half, and

654
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: they're down thirteen points and so and now all of

655
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: a sudden, you gotta change the way you play espect

656
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: and then what the third player the second half, they

657
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,959
Speaker 1: go down twenty because of the pick six. So I

658
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: can picture a coach saying like, oh, the game kind

659
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: of got away from us, but I think you got

660
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: to try it a little bit harder. I mean, not

661
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys are complaining. Yeah, yeah, I mean I

662
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: know that's not what they want to do and run

663
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: the ball, but I mean Sanders can you know he

664
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: can be effective. I mean, he was a good He's

665
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: been a good back your last couple of years. Yeah,

666
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: I mean with with with the inexperience that they have

667
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: up there, I mean with Osa and you know, well

668
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: they were down so many guys because of Ay in

669
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: the middle of their defensive line. I mean, there's not

670
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: many things. I mean, I'm not saying you should make

671
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: a living testing Michael Parsons, but I do want to

672
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: see what it's like. I mean, I think teams should

673
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: try to run at him and see he's not he

674
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: doesn't have the the build of a normal defensive end.

675
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: He's aggressive, he likes to get up the field. You

676
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: can use that against him sometimes. And I'm just kind

677
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: of curious out now that it's been two full games

678
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: of it, why teams aren't running it a little bit

679
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: more at him? And maybe that will come maybe, you know,

680
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: maybe it's talk about the time Dlogue gets back in

681
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: there and he's back the linebacker and then run at him. Yeah,

682
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: but yeah, man, Yeah, it's weird to me. I don't.

683
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: I don't have a great animal for him. He played

684
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: a nice game and that was a tackle he guy

685
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: for a loss where they ran right at him. I

686
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: thought it was I want to say it was. That

687
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: was a big play. Yeah, it was the second or

688
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: third down. It was it was like it was a

689
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: first it was a second down because it was second

690
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: and two or second one. They just got nine yards

691
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: to to um Ben Sanders. Somebody got nine yards and

692
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: then and then um he made a nice play. I

693
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: thought that was that was one of my five changing

694
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: plays because I mean I thought that that led to

695
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: a punt um and that was one like you're not

696
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: full and me on it. Yeah, But I mean he

697
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: made a handful of like small kind of hidden plays.

698
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: The deflection I think it was on the second down

699
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: in the third quarter led to a punt chase down

700
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts when he scrambled. I mean it was only

701
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: like a three yard game. It could have gone for

702
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: a lot more. I thought, Yeah, but this, I mean,

703
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: let's talk about I mean that the spy was for

704
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: the most part, was Jalen. I mean, he was the

705
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: spy in the game. And you know, Jalen Hurt Jalen

706
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: on Jalen and Jalen hurts did not really hurt them.

707
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: That sounds weird, but with because Jalen's with him, he

708
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: played well. He played well, and I think our bars

709
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: obviously lower and we're not expecting a lot from him

710
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: or not really sure, especially when it comes to running

711
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: sideline to sideline. I think dan Quinn has got him

712
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: playing better football. I really do. I think this is

713
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 1: a this is a good set up for him. There

714
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: are you can see flashes of the old Jalen and

715
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: you know, we got four hours asleep. I haven't had

716
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: a chance to watch the game back, but you can go.

717
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: There are plays last night where you can see him

718
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: ruggling to get off of his block or even doing

719
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: that weird thing Jalen does where he seems like he's

720
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: running out of his out of the lane. Yeah, but

721
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: he is playing pretty well in the role that Quinn

722
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,439
Speaker 1: is designing for him. And honestly, again without having seen

723
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:21,479
Speaker 1: it again, it seemed like Jalen was doing whatever kind

724
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: of spying they were doing. Like it wasn't Mica. Obviously,

725
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 1: Jalen had that responsibility. Every time I heards got out

726
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: of the pocket. There was one guy running him down

727
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: and like more often than not, it didn't go poorly.

728
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:37,359
Speaker 1: I mean, watching watching him gear up to get out

729
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,399
Speaker 1: to the numbers is an adventure. I don't know how

730
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,280
Speaker 1: else to say it, but but it didn't burn them,

731
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: I guess is the point. I mean, the answer is

732
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: in the numbers. In the last two games, Jalen hurts

733
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 1: at sixty two yards on the ground against Atlanta, he

734
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: had eighty two against San Francisco. He had thirty five

735
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: last night. So whatever they did seemed to work. And

736
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: a lot of the times, like I said, when you

737
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: found him outside the pocket, it was Jalen Smith who

738
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: was who was chasing him and running him down and

739
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,399
Speaker 1: keeping him from getting very classic hats to the football too.

740
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 1: There was the one sack where he was like, are

741
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: we giving quarters of a sack out right now? Because

742
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: like Jalen was in there, everybody Osa was in the hour. Yeah,

743
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,839
Speaker 1: so I thought for sure we'd seen some swiping going

744
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 1: on after that. Yeah, he got up. I don't know

745
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:22,439
Speaker 1: if I don't know if he's kind of just given

746
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: up on the swipe, but he kind of got up

747
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: and he wanted to celebrate and he did something different.

748
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,720
Speaker 1: He didn't swipe, But I haven't really seen the swipe

749
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 1: this year, and he's had some much swipeable moments. He's

750
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: had at least two or three. You know, he's playing

751
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: I thought. I think he's one of those guys that's

752
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: playing surprisingly okay. And what that means is based upon

753
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: what I thought of him coming into the year. I'm

754
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: not disappointed in his play right now, not at all,

755
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: especially when you ask him when you think about what's

756
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 1: happened here. Yeah, I mean, I mean because of the

757
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: injuries and everything that's happened to defensive end, Mica has

758
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: been taken away from the linebacker spot and he's had

759
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 1: to play more, especially in the nickel Kean O'Neil's out

760
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: and basically Parsons was out too. In Layton, vander Esche

761
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: played the nickel down in a game where you know

762
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 1: that they like to run and throw in the quarterbacks

763
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: mobile and all that, and it did not hurt him,

764
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 1: So you gotta go hats off to them as well.

765
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: And you know, we get a chance to talk to

766
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: him after the game, you know, and the last two

767
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,240
Speaker 1: weeks he's come over to us and Chris, our producer,

768
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: he's right there and you can just kind of tell Jaalen,

769
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's different. I think he's been

770
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 1: somewhat humbled with he here's the criticism. He knows. I

771
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 1: think he's trying to really just put his head down

772
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: and work and and and you know, you gotta give him.

773
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: You gotta give him credit for I think he's played.

774
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: He's played pretty well, and give dan Quinn credit for,

775
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: you know, getting him in a position to do that.

776
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 1: You look at at Mike we were talking about Michael Parks.

777
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: Did you look at his stat line from last night?

778
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: He had four tackles, half a sack, one tackle for

779
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: a loss, and five quarterback pressures. The quarterback pressures, I

780
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: think is what's so fascinating to me. Um looking at

781
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:58,839
Speaker 1: Mica at this point, enough of I think I've seen enough.

782
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: But do you I just think at this point you

783
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: would continue to play him at defensive end for as

784
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: long as because he the vast chartist snaps last night,

785
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,240
Speaker 1: we're at defensive end. Do you keep him at defensive

786
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: end now full time until the point where at least

787
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 1: until Tank is back. That needs to be part of

788
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: what he does, That needs to be a significant part

789
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: of his role every week. But the fun thing is,

790
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: and he said this last night he was asked about it, Yeah,

791
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: I think he played thirty three of his snaps at

792
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,959
Speaker 1: end and he played thirty seven steps. But he's not

793
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,800
Speaker 1: charging up the field every time like he dropped a

794
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:33,840
Speaker 1: few times. He can get out into the flat. He

795
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 1: can do some of that stuff. So it's it's more

796
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: it's he's not just making a bee line for the quarterback.

797
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: But that's how they played the DeFi defensive end in

798
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: the scheme. No, I absolutely, but he's well suited for that,

799
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: I guess, is my point. If you want me to

800
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: be honest, when Tank does some of that stuff, I'm like,

801
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: restaurants just go forward. But with Mica, I'm like, yeah, absolutely,

802
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: you can have some fun with this. You can confuse

803
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 1: some quarterbacks. You can get a pick that way a

804
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:03,479
Speaker 1: guy with his athleticism and wait at disguise things that'll come.

805
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 1: So that absolutely needs to be a huge part of

806
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: his role, but you can kind of tinker with it.

807
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: I still love the idea of him having the versatility

808
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,919
Speaker 1: to do more than just get up field, but he

809
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: clearly needs to be doing a lot of this, at

810
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 1: least until to Marcus Lawrence is healthy again. All right.

811
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: What we're gonna do is gonna take this final break.

812
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: When we come back, I want to talk about the

813
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: other two young guys on this defense, Trayvon Diggs and

814
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: Olsa Odigi Zuwa. They are playing phenomenal football right now,

815
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: and so we'll talk a little bit about them and

816
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: what they did last night and what they're looking what

817
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: they're doing for this defense overall this season. We'll talk

818
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:40,919
Speaker 1: about that when we come right back. This is Dallas

Speaker 1: segment of the Breakway are front for the the s

864
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: WBC Mortgage Studios at the Star. We're talking about the

865
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys win. They beat the Philadelphia Eagles forty one to

866
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:19,760
Speaker 1: twenty one. Let's talk about those defensive players. Trayvon Diggs

867
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: last night, man, I don't even know what you really

868
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: say about this guy. He's had three interceptions in three games.

869
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,399
Speaker 1: First time a Cowboy player has done that to start

870
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: a season since Everson Walls. That goes back away. In

871
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: addition to that, you got a guy like Osa Odiggi

872
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 1: Zoo had four tackles, one and a half sacks, one

873
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: tackle for a loss. You look at those two guys

874
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: combined with Michael Parsons, and you look at this defense

875
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 1: and you say, you know, you add in a Dan

876
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 1: Quinn and all of a sudden, this defense is playing

877
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 1: really really good football. And there what's really making them,

878
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: I think, really good is the fact they're turning the

879
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 1: ball over like they're taking the ball away from teams.

880
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 1: And really, you listen to Mike McCarthy says, they've been

881
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: doing this since last year. I'm impressive as this coop

882
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: into you so far incredibly And I actually I thought

883
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 1: about this last night. I can hear myself at some

884
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 1: point in the offseason because you talk about you gotta

885
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: go from worse to middle of the pack in one year,

886
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: and how realistic is that really? And you're like, well,

887
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: I guess if they I guess if just everything hits

888
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: I guess if these bargain bin free agents are actually good,

889
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: and I guess if they hit on a bunch of

890
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: draft picks, maybe they can turn this thing around quickly.

891
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 1: And lo and behold, like, what what's happening right now?

892
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons is a dude OsO DIGGI zoo as a

893
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: dude underrated, Jeron Curse and Demante Casey. Throw Malie Cooker

894
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,359
Speaker 1: in there too. I tweeted this last night. They gave

895
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 1: those guys a million dollars in guarantees combine. They were

896
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,720
Speaker 1: I mean, no money, nothing, and that's in the spring.

897
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 1: I looked at it and I was like, Okay, well,

898
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 1: they're kind of showing you how much faith they have

899
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: in these guys based on what they were willing to

900
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: pay them, and they're all playing like studs. Throw in

901
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,839
Speaker 1: Treyvon Diggs, who we kind of had an inkling. He

902
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:08,839
Speaker 1: looked great in training camp. He was their best dB

903
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: last year. And it just low and behold, like it

904
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: never happens like this where it all comes together in

905
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: one year, But that's what's happening right now. Yeah, you know,

906
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: and I don't want to take anything away from the defense,

907
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:24,280
Speaker 1: but I really believe that this starts with the offense.

908
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:28,320
Speaker 1: The offense has helped this defense become better. And it's because,

909
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 1: unlike last year, the offense is getting off to fast starts.

910
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,919
Speaker 1: They're scoring early. Their score I mean not even even

911
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,919
Speaker 1: in the Tampa game they didn't they moved the ball. Well,

912
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: they didn't score that game, but then the second drive

913
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: they did, they stayed in it. They were right in

914
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: that mix. Of course, the last two games they've scored.

915
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: I think that's really helping the defense. But I don't

916
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: want to I don't want to take him away what

917
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 1: they're doing. And then this is three games in a

918
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: row they've got to turnover inside the two yard line,

919
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:54,399
Speaker 1: either in the end zone or the two yards that's

920
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: protecting the goal line. I mean, they had that fumble

921
00:43:56,560 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: of Tampa, the interception against the Chargers last weekday interception

922
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 1: which led to a touchdown. Yeah. The other way, it

923
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 1: sucks for Anthony Brown that he finally makes a big

924
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 1: play and gets people off his back a little bit

925
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 1: and it leads to, you know, the best play of

926
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: Philly's night probably Yeah. I mean, if he was a

927
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,399
Speaker 1: little chunkier, he probably would have been in the end zone.

928
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 1: But then against hard to play, Yeah, just cheak here. Yeah,

929
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 1: if he had an ass nice who were you talking about?

930
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 1: What you said Leary was Ron Leary? I just no, there,

931
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: and I think you're absolutely right. I mean, there it is.

932
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 1: Here we go having an offense that can dictate the

933
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: pace and the flow of the game. And I mean

934
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,399
Speaker 1: the Eagles were on their heels from the moment this

935
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 1: game started, and I think that does matter. But I

936
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: also think this defense just has some swag to it.

937
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: And yeah, obviously Micah did kazy curse. I mean, curse

938
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 1: is over there, mixing it up with the whole Eagles

939
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: sidelines like waving by at him, which I love me too.

940
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:03,879
Speaker 1: M Trayvon Digs. He's he's fun man, and I mean

941
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 1: the pick is one thing, but he just he contested

942
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 1: every ball that went his way. And that's why I

943
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: hate the tawning penalty because he knocks that ball down

944
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:15,879
Speaker 1: and just like flex is on the guy like yeah, yeah, yeah,

945
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 1: there we go. It's just it's fun. It's fun to

946
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: see guys play without much confidence. Let's talk about can

947
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 1: I can I get it like two minutes here, which

948
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,879
Speaker 1: might guy, I'm sorry to dell it, But if we're

949
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 1: talking about swag, I mean, you know, it's not just

950
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: with the players. I loved what we were able to do.

951
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,280
Speaker 1: I mean, Cowboys, Dallas Cowboys, America's team, and we get

952
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 1: people to take shots at us all the time every week.

953
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: I like, how we you know what, we fought back

954
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,280
Speaker 1: and they didn't say anything about that damn T shirt

955
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 1: all week long. And then as soon as that game's over,

956
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:50,320
Speaker 1: our social media team we were ready. I mean, and everybody,

957
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 1: everybody's been talking about it. Well played and all that's

958
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: been a lot of you know, it was classy, was

959
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:59,319
Speaker 1: done very well. Kudos to you, you, Shannon, that whole

960
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,399
Speaker 1: social team, because you know we're the Cowboys. We don't

961
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: even taking that every every time I thought, I thought

962
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 1: they did a great job, and yes we play Philly again,

963
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: deal with it. It was it was actually and I

964
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,280
Speaker 1: don't I don't take any credfit. It was the social team.

965
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 1: It was Audrey west Kind, it was enough on it.

966
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 1: It was Presley Arians and we And that's the thing

967
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 1: when they brought it to me, initially, my first thought was,

968
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 1: oh my god, we haven't done this. This is not

969
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 1: something we typically do because our brand is not it

970
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily work with our brand like, that's not been

971
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,479
Speaker 1: our brand because, like you said, every team takes shots

972
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 1: at us all the time, and it happens on social

973
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 1: media so much, and we just kind of just let

974
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 1: it go because you know, that's kind of the brand.

975
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,839
Speaker 1: But we were like, you know, this is entertainment. Let's

976
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 1: have some fun. And the great part about it was

977
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: the people I talked to within the organization. Everybody was

978
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 1: kind of on the same page, like, you know what,

979
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 1: let's go have some fun. This is entertainment. Let's go

980
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 1: have some fun. What it should and uh, and let's

981
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 1: just see what happens that. And it worked out that

982
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: crew works really hard. They worked hard. They worked long

983
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 1: after and you know we all do, but they really

984
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: do there to come up with it, you got to

985
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 1: come up with stuff all the time. So I thought

986
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 1: that that was well played. I just wanted to give

987
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 1: them some shout out the way that the way that

988
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: they scratching, like they go, oh, I sound like Jason Garrett,

989
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 1: Oh no, do it? They scratching, claw and fight. But

990
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: the problem is, did it too. I'll tell you anything.

991
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 1: They can be. They could be the best in the

992
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,439
Speaker 1: world at their jobs. But if the team sucks, it ain't.

993
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 1: There's nothing they can do about it. So they are

994
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: at the mercy of how good the team is and

995
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 1: for you know, to fight through how awful last year

996
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 1: was and like everything they do is just getting met

997
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: with derision. I hope you can appreciate as cool as

998
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:39,400
Speaker 1: you thought the shirt graphic was. That means everything to

999
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 1: a social team who was just like, yes, a win,

1000
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 1: like a win on the field, but a win for us.

1001
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 1: We get to do something fun and kind of revel

1002
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 1: in it. It's just great and real quick before you

1003
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 1: get to your point, we all lived through that in

1004
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. It was a year win that there was

1005
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:56,360
Speaker 1: We got to do so much cool stuff because the

1006
00:47:56,400 --> 00:48:00,120
Speaker 1: team was young, they were fresh, they were winning, and

1007
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 1: they were doing it in a flashy way. So it

1008
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:04,439
Speaker 1: allowed us to take everything we did to a whole

1009
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:07,319
Speaker 1: different level. And we're doing Finish this fight videos and

1010
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 1: we're doing Zeke eaton videos, breakfast club and sting and

1011
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 1: it's it's going crazy. Like that's the beauty of this business.

1012
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:16,919
Speaker 1: When you get a great season. When you think about

1013
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 1: college teams that they have great you know, video department

1014
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 1: stuff like that, colle the best teams, Yeah, you know,

1015
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 1: but there is one out there in Colorado State or

1016
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 1: something like that that doesn't do well, but they have

1017
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:29,320
Speaker 1: great It's hard to do it when you're when you're winning.

1018
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 1: But you said that about I sound like Jason Garrett.

1019
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:33,400
Speaker 1: I think I wrote something. I was like, he's just

1020
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 1: getting better right in front of our own eyes. I

1021
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:38,279
Speaker 1: was like, it's not too big, it's not too big.

1022
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 1: You can't see the steam coming out of his ears

1023
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:45,800
Speaker 1: real quick. How impressive is this defensive performance when you

1024
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,399
Speaker 1: consider all the guys that they don't have right now,

1025
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 1: when you think about the fact they're without Tank, they're

1026
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 1: without Joseph Gallimore, Neil Watkins, Gallop and not There are

1027
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 1: a ton of guys right now that they are not

1028
00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:59,760
Speaker 1: that they don't have because of injury, because of COVID,

1029
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 1: and they're still being able to put together some really

1030
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: great games, particularly on the defensive side of the ball.

1031
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: How much better will they be once they're at full strength?

1032
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 1: But way better, I mean you should be, especially with Gallimore.

1033
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: I think that's a big one right there. Um, maybe

1034
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:19,360
Speaker 1: Tristan Hills Galisa. I like that defensive combination there in

1035
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 1: the middle. I love it. I get I'll take this

1036
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:24,400
Speaker 1: because I haven't. I haven't been a downer today, have

1037
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 1: I No, But I'll tell I mean, I just I

1038
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 1: kind of ride the fence a little bit. They've been great.

1039
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 1: I don't talked about the half time yet. I just

1040
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 1: they they've been solid and it has been impressive. What

1041
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:40,279
Speaker 1: they don't have, the way they're making do um. I'm

1042
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:41,919
Speaker 1: just I'm I don't know. I'm not ready to crown

1043
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 1: them yet. I think that just fine. I don't think

1044
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:46,840
Speaker 1: highly of that Philly team. They should have won that

1045
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 1: game comfortably. And then the chunk players are there. I mean,

1046
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 1: Herbert did it. Some of it got waved off by flags,

1047
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:56,799
Speaker 1: but the chunk players were there. Week two. The week

1048
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: one the Eagles hit them for You can kind of

1049
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 1: expect that. But it's been a common theme across all

1050
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 1: three weeks. I have a much easier time tolerating it

1051
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:09,800
Speaker 1: at Tampa and at LA as opposed to home against

1052
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 1: a not that special Philadelphia offense. Again, not trying to

1053
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 1: take too much shine off of them, but like cover

1054
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:21,720
Speaker 1: a tight end maybe, I mean tight end crossing routes

1055
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,840
Speaker 1: killed them last night. So there were just a few.

1056
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 1: And when I say chunk, I mean a chunk play

1057
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 1: can be fifteen yards, but they had some thirty five,

1058
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 1: twenty five, probably even a forty yard gain in there.

1059
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: So I just know it's not Doomsday two point zero.

1060
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 1: That's all I'm trying to say yet. But you know,

1061
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 1: I also think of that, and I think part of

1062
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 1: that from in my mind at least. I don't know

1063
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 1: if this is accurate, but in my mind I look

1064
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:48,399
Speaker 1: at I say that is to me, maybe I can

1065
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 1: put that on the fact that when you have a

1066
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:53,760
Speaker 1: coordinator who kind of knows how he wants to do things,

1067
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 1: and if you're getting by the way, they haven't had

1068
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 1: so many chunk plays that it's really hurt them. They've

1069
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 1: given up a few. So what that says to me

1070
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,360
Speaker 1: is maybe there were just sometimes when the call was

1071
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: just the call that doesn't work against what they're doing offensively,

1072
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 1: and then you get a chunk play. I'm willing to

1073
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:14,360
Speaker 1: give them that because they've been way better on most plays,

1074
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 1: and especially when they get in the red zone they

1075
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 1: tend to stiffen up. So I'm kind of and I

1076
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 1: gotta give them a little bit of a pass on that.

1077
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 1: I think people lose sight of the fact too, that

1078
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna give those up. It's the NFL. I mean,

1079
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 1: you're you're gonna give up three hundred, three hundred and

1080
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:30,840
Speaker 1: fifty yards. I mean the yards have to come from somewhere.

1081
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 1: So I get that, and I will say it might

1082
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:37,399
Speaker 1: it might not matter how quote unquote good they are

1083
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 1: if they keep playing this opportunistically, like, give up as

1084
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:43,360
Speaker 1: many chunk plays as you want. If you get me

1085
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: two takeaways a week every week, which that's when you're

1086
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 1: not turning to the ball over right, I mean that's

1087
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 1: a big ask. But defend the goal line, which as

1088
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 1: Nick pointed out, they've been great at, and forced takeaways.

1089
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 1: I mean the rest will sort itself out. Ye, all right,

1090
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 1: we got to get to the topic we've been talking

1091
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:01,360
Speaker 1: about a lot of great happened last night. We do

1092
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 1: because I think it's fair because, to be honest with you,

1093
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 1: in the game last night, this moment was probably the

1094
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 1: moment that most fans had the largest problem with. Most

1095
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:13,319
Speaker 1: Cowboys fans had the biggest problem with. You're getting to

1096
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:18,880
Speaker 1: the end of the half, and basically most fans wanted

1097
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 1: to see Mike McCarthy use one or two of his

1098
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:24,239
Speaker 1: timeouts there at the end of that game or the

1099
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:27,799
Speaker 1: end of that half to give the offense and opportunity

1100
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:29,839
Speaker 1: to be able to see if maybe they could get

1101
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:33,720
Speaker 1: down the field. I personally thought it was a mistake

1102
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:35,400
Speaker 1: not to do it. And again, I think when it

1103
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 1: comes to this kind of stuff, it's all a matter

1104
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:39,359
Speaker 1: of preference. You're up twenty seven, so I get where

1105
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 1: the coach is like, hey, you know it's it's it's

1106
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 1: one of the things I felt good about where we were.

1107
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,799
Speaker 1: Didn't fuck we needed to press it. Okay, fine, I

1108
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 1: don't necessarily agree with that, but that's a personal preference.

1109
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:52,239
Speaker 1: I look at and say that they probably should have

1110
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 1: done it. What were your thoughts on what they did?

1111
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 1: They're heading into the end of the half. Well, I

1112
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 1: you know, I like to talk all the time up

1113
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:04,799
Speaker 1: in the press box. I'm trying to coach, and you know,

1114
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 1: act like I know anything. That one just I'll tell

1115
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 1: you I didn't. It didn't stand out to me. I didn't.

1116
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:14,319
Speaker 1: I wasn't senting there saying time out, time out. I

1117
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 1: didn't have a problem with it, certainly, not as much

1118
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: as other people do. I looked at it more kind

1119
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 1: of the same way. I'm kind of content with this

1120
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 1: one thing. I didn't like was. They were running it great,

1121
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 1: they were moving the ball, very balanced, and that setting

1122
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna get penned back probably inside your own ten.

1123
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 1: The center can't, the center's having problems, the left guards

1124
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:39,799
Speaker 1: having problems. If there anything that could go wrong here,

1125
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,799
Speaker 1: and I just didn't think it needed to do it.

1126
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:46,840
Speaker 1: So I saw his point, and I'll just say this. Coaches,

1127
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:48,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna look at it. They're gonna view it, and

1128
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 1: they say, you know what, I'm okay with this. They're

1129
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:53,840
Speaker 1: lucky to have seven points. We gave them seven. We

1130
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 1: keep doing what we're doing in the second half, we're

1131
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 1: gonna blow this team out. So I'm not gonna give

1132
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:00,160
Speaker 1: them anything cheap here. I'm fine, let's get out out

1133
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 1: of here. And I for this case, I'm okay with it,

1134
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 1: but I know that not everybody agrees, actually honestly, and

1135
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:09,799
Speaker 1: I'm stubborn to a fault. But you made that point

1136
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 1: to me right before we came downstairs, and I'm I've

1137
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 1: like been marinating on it this whole time. I'm like,

1138
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:18,319
Speaker 1: I can I can see the logic here that I mean,

1139
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 1: it should have been a moral It was a caveat

1140
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 1: to it, but well it should have been a more

1141
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 1: lopsided score. I mean, yeah, they like they dominated that

1142
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:29,760
Speaker 1: first half. They should have scored on the sneak bs

1143
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:33,839
Speaker 1: by the refs. Just terrible luck by Anthony Brown's I mean,

1144
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:35,839
Speaker 1: it could have been twenty seven seven going into half.

1145
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 1: It's entirely possible. Mike McCarthy looked at him. He was like, yeah,

1146
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:42,480
Speaker 1: we're murdering these guys, and schre didn't even reflect how

1147
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:45,399
Speaker 1: bad were murdering them. And so I get that at

1148
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 1: the same time, but I can't. I just I want

1149
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:50,760
Speaker 1: to play aggressive and dictate the game all the time,

1150
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 1: and I can't one hundred percent reconcile. If you look

1151
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:56,919
Speaker 1: at it, if they use the timeouts or at least

1152
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:59,320
Speaker 1: one of them, you're probably get and dacked the ball

1153
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:03,320
Speaker 1: back with a little over a minute to play. And

1154
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 1: the way he's been playing, you gotta change. I mean

1155
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 1: we said this last week, he's probably gonna get points

1156
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:09,960
Speaker 1: if you give him the ball. All things can say.

1157
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,319
Speaker 1: It's a good I want I'm not betting against him

1158
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:14,880
Speaker 1: to get you points. And so the opportunity to go

1159
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:17,439
Speaker 1: kind of steal a possession there, especially knowing you don't

1160
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 1: get the ball coming out a halftime it's just too

1161
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 1: attempting for me to pass up the one thing I'll say,

1162
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 1: And Nick I mentioned this to you before we went

1163
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 1: on the air. I think what's not being talked about here.

1164
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 1: Everybody's thinking they should have taken the time out when

1165
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 1: they got to fourth and five to stop the clock

1166
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:35,080
Speaker 1: around a minute. I actually think where they should have

1167
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:37,680
Speaker 1: done something different is to play before that they would

1168
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 1: have had they would have been able to stop the

1169
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:43,400
Speaker 1: clock around one forty maybe one forty five at third

1170
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 1: and twenty four. Because your concern was, Hey, if I

1171
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:47,919
Speaker 1: give him that time out when it's fourth and five,

1172
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 1: do they decide to go for it? Am I giving

1173
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 1: them an opportunity for them to kind of reset, think

1174
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 1: about what they want to do, and maybe decide they

1175
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: want to go for it third and twenty four. You're

1176
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 1: not worried about that. Third and twenty four says to me.

1177
00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 1: This is probably insurmountable for them. Let me saved some

1178
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,600
Speaker 1: time because most likely I'm getting the ball back here,

1179
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:05,960
Speaker 1: and if I got if you stop stop it at

1180
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:08,759
Speaker 1: one forty or one forty five, I feel really good,

1181
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 1: even if they pin you back at the tin. I

1182
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 1: feel really good that my quarterback has the ability to

1183
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 1: get me down at least into field goal range with

1184
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 1: one forty one thirty somewhere like that to be able

1185
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 1: to get a field goal before the hat. Okay, and

1186
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:22,640
Speaker 1: you're and you're right, I've kind of done the math.

1187
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 1: You call the time out, and third after second down

1188
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 1: you call the time out. Again, Let's just say they

1189
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 1: did everything that they did. They punt it. They punt

1190
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:34,759
Speaker 1: it from you know, midfield, so you're probably getting in

1191
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,319
Speaker 1: I don't know they got around the tin, right, Okay,

1192
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 1: they got the same field about minute ten, probably more

1193
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 1: than than I'm guessing, more like about minute twenty five.

1194
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:47,800
Speaker 1: Minute okay, minute twenty five at your own ten. Knowing

1195
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 1: what's happened, all you need is a field goal. What

1196
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:54,799
Speaker 1: is your play calls? There? Though, because because I'm not

1197
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 1: I do it. I do it the same way that

1198
00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:58,920
Speaker 1: you've seen all these successful quarterbacks do it. At the

1199
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:00,799
Speaker 1: end of the game or the end of the I'm

1200
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 1: taking what you'll give me on the outside, So i

1201
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 1: may do a five yard out to a tight end,

1202
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:07,239
Speaker 1: and then I'm just getting little chunks here and there

1203
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 1: until I can ease myself down or I get this

1204
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:12,399
Speaker 1: one shot where I can get us down. And that's

1205
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 1: what typically happens. You dink and dunk a few times,

1206
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 1: you get them to bite just a little bit, and

1207
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 1: then you can pop one that gets you down into field.

1208
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 1: Go wrong. And by the way, listening to this, coach

1209
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:25,560
Speaker 1: your kickers, Yeah right, yeah, fifty sixty yard or eight yarder,

1210
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:27,840
Speaker 1: like you can't get eighty yarder? Yeah. I mean, I'm

1211
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 1: just saying, so get me down to the whatever do

1212
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 1: they believe in? Be honest, because he do they believe in?

1213
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 1: And I'm just saying, you're you got first and ten

1214
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 1: on your own eight yard line and you're back there

1215
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 1: and you've got this game and control what can go wrong.

1216
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 1: And that's all I'm saying is. And to go back

1217
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 1: to my point, I'm not saying you carry this this

1218
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 1: book and this is how I coach football every game,

1219
00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 1: because there's gonna be other games that you're He's got

1220
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 1: a front row seat, looks at it and goes, we're

1221
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 1: gonna score. We're gonna score in the second half. We're

1222
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:00,280
Speaker 1: gonna score. We have to put it on. But in

1223
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:02,520
Speaker 1: this game, it's like, if we don't f this thing up,

1224
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna blow him out. Look, I get that because

1225
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 1: ultimately he probably looks at it like, unless we give

1226
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:08,920
Speaker 1: them cheap touchdowns, they're not going to drive the field

1227
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:10,840
Speaker 1: on it, right, Like, they're not going to do that.

1228
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 1: That's not something that's not something that they are capable

1229
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 1: of doing the way we're playing right now. So I

1230
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:18,280
Speaker 1: get that. I'm just thinking it's more of a philosophy.

1231
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 1: And I think when you have a team like this

1232
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 1: that is as good as they are offensively, I think

1233
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:26,160
Speaker 1: they can make up for if you should have a

1234
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 1: bad moment. I think they can make up for that.

1235
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:30,600
Speaker 1: And so for me, I'm like, I want to be

1236
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:34,400
Speaker 1: aggressive every single week. Yeah, as offensive And by the way,

1237
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:37,120
Speaker 1: that's been the m since he's got here, they've been aggressive.

1238
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:38,880
Speaker 1: So why in this moment did they all of a

1239
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 1: sudden say, let's not be aggressive, just give me some consistency.

1240
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 1: Well to next point, maybe he felt that strongly about

1241
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:48,200
Speaker 1: how favorable they have the second half looked for them.

1242
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 1: I lean toward agreeing with you, like, that's my every

1243
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:54,120
Speaker 1: instinct is to just be aggressive, especially when you have

1244
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 1: a quarterback like this. But I can at least see

1245
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 1: the logic of like, if you just look at everything

1246
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:02,680
Speaker 1: that happened in the first half feel pretty comfortable that

1247
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:05,080
Speaker 1: if you just don't do anything stupid, yeah, probably gonna

1248
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 1: win the game. But you know the part of game

1249
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 1: management is it's like it's the game within the game,

1250
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 1: and every week you have to be able to adapt.

1251
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 1: And so I hope he doesn't. And I'm not sitting

1252
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 1: here saying don't don't be aggressive, because there's you know,

1253
00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 1: unless you're you know, fossil and let you know, let's

1254
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 1: you ask the fans if they want to be aggressive.

1255
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:22,920
Speaker 1: But you know, but there have been moments. Now I

1256
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 1: guess and this is the part probably that makes me

1257
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:28,160
Speaker 1: more like, I don't know if they did the right.

1258
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:31,160
Speaker 1: Thing is this isn't the first time that we've questioned

1259
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:33,960
Speaker 1: game management. We've questioned it a lot last year. We've

1260
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 1: questioned it in pretty much every game this year. The

1261
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 1: half has been not pretty much no this and that's

1262
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:43,760
Speaker 1: more so than what happened here. The theme is what

1263
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 1: bothers yea three for three into the half in Tampa,

1264
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:50,600
Speaker 1: into the game in La into the half here at home.

1265
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 1: And the even more remarkable than that is that none

1266
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 1: of the three decisions have bit them in the ass.

1267
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:59,000
Speaker 1: Yet really you're looking at for if you think about

1268
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 1: the end of the half and against the Chargers, I mean,

1269
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:05,080
Speaker 1: I know it was Fossil that wanted to but yeah,

1270
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:07,560
Speaker 1: I mean either just where he could have called it

1271
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:09,600
Speaker 1: off and said no, no, no, give us the football.

1272
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:11,880
Speaker 1: None of it has bit them yet and it will

1273
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 1: it's going to. And so that's what bothers me more

1274
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 1: so than whether or not this was the right call

1275
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 1: is I'm just like you are showing a very consistent

1276
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 1: theme of, in my opinion, not handling the end of

1277
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:26,880
Speaker 1: these halfs very well. And eventually it will catch up

1278
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:28,479
Speaker 1: to you. You know. The funny of those four things

1279
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:30,920
Speaker 1: we talked about it, two of them have been overly

1280
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:35,200
Speaker 1: aggressive sixty yard or just kicking. He can't make anything,

1281
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 1: but he'll hit He'll hit this one, and then the

1282
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 1: other one. You know, we'll just go block the point

1283
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 1: and which we haven't done in six years or whatever,

1284
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:43,360
Speaker 1: but let's just do it. And then the other two

1285
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 1: we're like, ah, you know what, Chargers, he's gonna make

1286
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:48,680
Speaker 1: this fifty six yard or we don't get any more yards.

1287
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 1: We don't the end of the half. Here, we're good

1288
01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:52,840
Speaker 1: twenty seven. So it's like it's four things and two

1289
01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:55,320
Speaker 1: of them have been really aggressive when I've been not aggressive,

1290
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 1: and like you said, it hasn't been them yet, but yeah,

1291
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:00,480
Speaker 1: you wonder it. You're gonna ask them games where you're

1292
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:02,920
Speaker 1: gonna have some really tough opponents and those kind of

1293
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:05,520
Speaker 1: things will matter this week. I mean, this team, they're

1294
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 1: three and oh they're three and oh tell me those

1295
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:11,000
Speaker 1: three I know Jets in Houston. I'm missing sing the

1296
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:14,080
Speaker 1: Saint Yeah, which is a very quality human. Yeah yeah.

1297
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:16,200
Speaker 1: But now, of course they had Christian McCaffrey, which we're

1298
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:19,200
Speaker 1: gonna talk about that tomorrow. Without Christian McCaffrey, how much

1299
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 1: has that changed this team because that's what they did

1300
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 1: all last year and it didn't work out well for them.

1301
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:24,840
Speaker 1: But we'll talk about that tomorrow. Actually, we'll get into

1302
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:28,320
Speaker 1: the whole offense chart I'm sorry, the Carolina Panther offense

1303
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 1: versus Cowboys defense, while Bucky coming and join us as well.

1304
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:33,080
Speaker 1: Until then, for Nick Eatman, Dave helm and I'm Derek Eagleton.
