All right, and so when 32 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: you look at this Cowboys team and you know, I 33 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: think today it's Tuesday, and we still this is the 34 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: last day. This is the last day for dooming gloom. 35 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: This is the last day to get those things off 36 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,679 Speaker 1: your chest, to allow those things to be to be 37 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 1: spoken about from the game on Sunday, because tomorrow we're 38 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: moving forward. Tomorrow we are getting ready for Atlanta. But 39 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: you know, Nate, you had a chance to digest to 40 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: let it sink in about what you saw. You saw 41 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: the replays you might have saw, watched the game. I 42 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: don't know if all twenty two was up. It wasn't up. 43 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: And I checked the other early, uh this morning. Um, 44 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: but you got a chance to have all that stuff processed. 45 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: Give me from the Nate Newton perspective, give me one 46 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: thing that stood out to you the most that you 47 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 1: just quite wasn't you? Wasn't you just you didn't understand, 48 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,679 Speaker 1: you said, I don't understand how we did this in 49 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: this way? Well, what is that one thing that stuck 50 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: out to you? I don't know. This is weird. What 51 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: i'ma I think it's bad. I think it's I'm here. 52 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: You can't hear me? Yep, yeah, I can hear you. 53 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: Now go ahead, I tell you it's. What I'm saying 54 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: to say, is weird. As bad as we played in 55 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: a few mistakes that we made, we see only loft 56 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: this game about three points, so I know that the 57 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: head coach is winning. Watch this film and say, yo, 58 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: as bad as we played in the miss calls that 59 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: we had, they could have easially won that game. It 60 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: would have been ugly, but they could have won that game. 61 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: So the weirdness of this game, man, and I would 62 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: have thought last year, anytime we was giving up more 63 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: than thirty minutes a game and we only scored, and 64 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: we scored less than twenty points, we normally be blowed out. 65 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: We were not blowed out. And another thing that to 66 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 1: your point, to your point, Ny about an ugly game, 67 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,239 Speaker 1: don't you think the Cowboys should be at a point 68 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: and they're just football careers with this current roster, who 69 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: have a lot of experienced players that you shouldn't be 70 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: losing the ugly games. Like you have enough talent, enough, 71 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: experience enough, your head coach has a super Bowl like, 72 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: you should win the ugly games. We talked about this 73 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: for the last ten years about coaching being able to 74 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: win games. Should the Cowboys? Shouldn't the Cowboys beat to 75 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 1: a point where the ugly game should now be going 76 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 1: in their favor. This is where I mean, this is 77 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: where you're head coach and your quarterback does not allow 78 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: you to lose games. That is in his fifth year. 79 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: Forget a new coach. You stay your same offensive coordinator, 80 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 1: where basically the same offensive scheme. This is where your 81 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: quarterback does not allow you to lose this game. This 82 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: is where he steps forward and takes control and puts 83 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: you in that position to win this game. And so 84 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: but I still, I still cannot get over the fact 85 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 1: that the Ontario Pole and our inside guys did not 86 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: handle their business. That that stays the same overnight as 87 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: I sleep. But as you brought that up, I agree, 88 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: and what I told y'all guys off air, this is 89 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: the year where that not monetarily, not nothing else. I 90 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: have nothing to do with that. I'm talking about as 91 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: quarterback hit up, as Mike Irvin would say, this is 92 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: where we show you show who you are. Jesse. Those games, Jesse, 93 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: you're talking about this team though, having the experience now 94 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: that they should be able to win these close games, 95 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: they should be able to win these uglies games. But 96 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: I mean, you go back there last year. I think 97 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: they scored twenty four or fewer points six times. They 98 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: lost all six of those games. They were horrible in 99 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 1: one possession games. I think they were one in seven 100 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: or something like that. I mean, they had the second 101 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 1: worst record in the NFL in one possession games. This 102 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: may be who the team is. I mean, they're kind 103 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: of picking up right where they left off with talk 104 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: about they should be experienced now and they should be 105 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: able to win these games. Is this who they are? Kurt? 106 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: That that is so right in what you're saying. But 107 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: I think it's one caveat. You do have a different 108 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 1: offensive mind at the head of this at the head 109 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 1: of this deal. And so I think that I would 110 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,799 Speaker 1: give him this one game to look at his team 111 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: on film and say, huh huh. It shouldn't take an 112 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: experienced guy like him the way he say he looked 113 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: at film all off season, the way he say he 114 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: dissect and broke down things off. Now he got something 115 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: tangible that he can lay his hands into, and now 116 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: he said, Okay, let me go talk to kell him, 117 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: let me go talk talk to Mike. No, this is 118 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: what I see. This is what we need to fix quickly, 119 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: and this is how we need to proceed, Kurt. So, 120 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: one of the stats that I saw in this game, 121 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: that's that is a significant status. It's a telltale sign 122 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,559 Speaker 1: of teams winning and losing football games in the National 123 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: Football League. And when you look at I look at 124 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: this team. I always look at the makeup of a 125 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: team um of what their head coaches strength is. I 126 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: look at a team like the Pittsburgh Steelers Mike Tomlin 127 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: as a defensive minded coach, so I look for that 128 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: team to be stout defensively. I look at this team 129 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: with Mike McCarthy. This is a Mike McCarthy's an offensive 130 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: minded coach. So I look for this team for its 131 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: identity to be founded and the foundation to be offensive. 132 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: The Cowboys were three. They were They were thirty three 133 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: percent on third downs in the game on Sunday. What 134 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: did you see in that game where they just weren't 135 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 1: able to take those third downs and actually convert them 136 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: to extend drives? And is that is that something that 137 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: is more on Dak or do you think that's more 138 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 1: on Kellen Moore slash Mike McCarthy would call in the 139 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 1: right plays prior to and on that down to give 140 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,559 Speaker 1: this team success. That's a good question. I mean, it 141 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: sounded like that's why I asked it. I should expect it, right, Okay, Well, 142 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 1: they they threw the ball on first and second They 143 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: all right, nay, go ahead, you're you know. They they 144 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: threw the ball in first and second down first early 145 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,439 Speaker 1: in the game sixty seven percent of the time, which 146 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: was tops in the NFL. That kind of surprised me 147 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: some last year they weren't anywhere near that rate. So 148 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 1: you got to think that, yes, that's a change in 149 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: coaching philosophy when it comes to executing now on third down, 150 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: maybe that's more on the players. Maybe that's Dak not 151 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: picking up the guy. Maybe that's you know, not stopping 152 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: Eric Donald when you need to. Maybe that's the receiver 153 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,079 Speaker 1: not ronning you know, Ceedee Lamb coming up short of 154 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,719 Speaker 1: the sticks. I mean, I think when it comes to that, 155 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: maybe that's more of an execution problem than a than 156 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 1: a scheme problem. But you guys are the players. You 157 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: would know better than I would. Well, well, what what 158 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: what I'm seeing is? And I agree with Jessie said 159 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,599 Speaker 1: one hundred percent. Because Washington said, Okay, we're going on 160 00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: and get a new a new head coach and somebody 161 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: must have sole management. Where you got a great defense, 162 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 1: all they need is a mind to go with it. 163 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: So they went and got coach Rivera and he put 164 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: his stamp on the game in the Washington football team 165 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: against against Philadelphia, and and so on and so forth 166 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: with the tumbling game last night. But they saw last 167 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 1: night against the Giants you know, you saw the defense 168 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: come to light in the offense is lit them up. 169 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: But what I'm trying to say here is when you 170 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 1: have an offensive minded team and everything out of say 171 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: two hundred million dollars salary and one hundred and sixty 172 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: million of it, it's going to your offense, you cannot 173 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: afford to tell the fans on Monday, well we couldn't 174 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: we three and twelve? Are we three and fifteen? Versus 175 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: on third down? We only had the ball twenty four minutes? 176 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: Come on, fellas he that well, that don't even make sense, 177 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 1: does it. We never got into this yesterday, and of 178 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 1: course it's the big question of the game. I mean 179 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: you talking about mccarthy'd being an offensive coach because of that, 180 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 1: were you, guys, as former players glad he went for 181 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: it on fourth and three, showing not much trust in 182 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: his defense or no? As twelve minutes left. I wanted 183 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 1: I wanted a kid. That's just me, Nate. I think 184 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: you're saying that because you're sitting with me. No, no, no, 185 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: because as no, no, no no, no, I'm meaning I'm meaning. 186 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: I'm meaning because you're sitting at home with me as 187 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 1: a analyst. Okay, but because when you when you were 188 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: patted up and you there's no way, because God's get 189 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: excited because you like, man, let's go, let's go, and 190 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: you and you have this belief that you can do it. 191 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: And so as I sit here as an analyst, as 192 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: as a retired player and I'm watching, I'm like, come on, man, 193 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,959 Speaker 1: kick the field goal. But in that moment, I'm saying, 194 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: I feel like ceedee lamb. I feel like I feel 195 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: like Michael Gallup. I feel like all those other guys 196 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,599 Speaker 1: are saying let's go. That is the excitement that you 197 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: have as a player. You always want to go for it. 198 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 1: There's always this sense of belief that you can get it, 199 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: that you can go out there and and and and 200 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: turn this thing around. Right, as as I sit back 201 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: as an analyst and I have a chance to say, 202 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: you know, way the pros and cons, and as I 203 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,959 Speaker 1: bite into one of my chicken wings from Wingstop and 204 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: I'm watching the game, I'm saying, you know, hey, maybe 205 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: we should have kicked in hindsight. But I can tell 206 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 1: you for a fact, if I was on that team, 207 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: and I was in that moment and we looked over 208 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: to the sideline and coach said, you know, what do 209 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: you guys want to do. I'm I'm one hundred one thousand, 210 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: one million times saying let's go, come on, let's let's 211 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: go for we can get this. That's just that's just 212 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: the nature of the Beasts. It's all highsight's always twenty 213 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: twenty when you're able to sit here like we are 214 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,719 Speaker 1: and and kind of you know, look at all of 215 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: the different things from a from a from an analyst perspective, 216 00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: like Nate said, at the time he was saying, no, 217 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: kick it. What were you thinking at the time that 218 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: I know, Yeah, I know as a player, I'm like, 219 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: am I get the three? Kick? The reason I said 220 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: kick it? And we were sitting there, I'm streaming kick 221 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 1: it that at that point in time. The reason I 222 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: said kick it because at that point you tie the game, 223 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: you have eleven minutes left. For a little bit more 224 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: than eleven minsum, your defense haven't I'm looking at we 225 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: haven't played bad. I mean it hasn't been great, but 226 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,839 Speaker 1: we haven't played and if we stopped them, anything, we 227 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: get them puts us in the league. Okay, they said, 228 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: were you kicking for a lead? Are you going forward 229 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 1: to get the league. But right here you're fighting it 230 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,079 Speaker 1: to take momentum right right about them. I felt the 231 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: Rams like they had the momentum, and then when they 232 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: stopped us, it gave them even more momentum, more confidence, 233 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:55,839 Speaker 1: and I said, okay, this is going down the stretch. 234 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: It don't look good if we don't hurt up and strike. 235 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: Right there, I said, okay, this where we will strike. 236 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,599 Speaker 1: Let me I see what coach is trying to do, 237 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: but right here will strike. We didn't strikes. We didn't 238 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: make it. And it always comes down for the datas 239 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: Cowboys in the end, a catch that ain't a catch, 240 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: a penalty that ain't a penalty. Tired of that, well, 241 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: talking about strike, I want to I want to pose 242 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: a question and I want to give us a moment 243 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: to ponder over it as we go into the break. 244 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: And the question is for Nate, for Kurt, and Nate 245 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: more so for you specifically because you come from the 246 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: offensive line. And we've talked about this about this Cowboys 247 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: team always having to have everything in place, everything being perfect. 248 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: We all Collins will be out for at least two 249 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: more weeks weeks, and we saw what this offensive line was. 250 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: The rookie steel wasn't wasn't at its best. And you 251 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: know for a fact that teams, once they watch film 252 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: that next game where you messed up, they're gonna come 253 00:14:58,440 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: back and check in and see if you fixed it. 254 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: So what I want to know from Kurt? What I 255 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: want to know from Nate? Do the Cowboys have on 256 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: this roster? One the players, and two the coaching ability 257 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: to shore up that offensive line heading into the gate 258 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: without having your stars? Have we come to a point 259 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: where we're able to go and function offensively defensively as 260 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: a team when we're missing some of those key pieces. 261 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: We'll answer that question coming up after the break.

And we lost our game last 313 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 1: week in the trenches. And Landon's gonna come in and 314 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: they're gonna check to see if you have right those 315 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: wrongs that you did a week ago that they saw 316 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 1: on film. Do the Cowboys have enough in place to 317 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 1: do so? I think offensively they do. I think with 318 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: coach Fielding, I know, I know they do, Loony will 319 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: play much better. I know Zack Martin will be chomping 320 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: at the bit to show who he is. The right 321 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: tackles are still played. Okay, now you was facing a 322 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: beast and Aaron Donald as I left guard, So I 323 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: left guard is more than adequate. And I think they 324 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,880 Speaker 1: have enough schemes to Coach Fieldman has enough experience to say, Okay, 325 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: this is what they saw last week, this is what 326 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: they're tried. But number one, they don't have Aaron Donald. 327 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: They do have good players. They have more than better. 328 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: They got good players in their middle. But we'll get 329 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 1: into that as the week go on. But defensively, Ontario 330 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 1: Poe has done much better. He just seemed like he 331 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: was getting playing alone to get along this past weekend. 332 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: Like you said, the big boy theory. I know Antoine 333 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 1: Woods can play better. I don't know who the Tristian 334 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 1: Hill is yet, and I know that Tyrone Crawford can 335 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: play better, So I look for a few of those 336 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: guys to pick their game up. I don't know what 337 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,679 Speaker 1: Yo Pol kind of not lost me. I'm to keep 338 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 1: my eyes on him defensive but I know offensively we 339 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: had the players to do it and the coaches to 340 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: do it, and I know that the defensive line coach 341 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 1: is a tough coach. The and I ask and demand more. 342 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: And I'm glad there's no alliances to these players, so 343 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: they can shuffle them in and out how they need to. 344 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: Shannon this this thing that I've been thinking about since 345 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: the game was over. The Cowboys now are without Layton 346 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: vander Esch and Jaylen Smith didn't play as well. And 347 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: there are certain key words that, as I've heard be 348 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: described with Jaylen Smith since this game was over, and 349 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 1: tell me what you think when you hear these words 350 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:38,199 Speaker 1: about a player. Mind in the right place, good effort, 351 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: can play it better, but play it with some energy. 352 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 1: When you when you hear those words about a player 353 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 1: and then you watch the performance, do you think that 354 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: Jayleen Smith will use that as motivation to get to 355 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: have a much better game this week? You know, I 356 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know what happened to Jalen because, 357 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: like I looked up on a couple of plays and 358 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: he just looked lost. He looked out of place. He 359 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: took he took a step the wrong direction a couple 360 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: of times when I when I was watching him and I, 361 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: you know, the couple of the few practices that I 362 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 1: watched out there at the start, like I thought he 363 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 1: was going to have a year like he had two 364 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: years ago at the end of that year where he was, 365 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,360 Speaker 1: you know, he looked like he was better in coverage 366 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: during practice, the practices that I saw, and I was 367 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: really expecting him to step up and take his game 368 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: to the next level and be the player that we 369 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: all thought he was gonna be. So I don't know 370 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: if it was just a matter of you know, we 371 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,439 Speaker 1: talked about it on the show yesterday, or I think 372 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: we talked about it maybe in a meeting, but the 373 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 1: team just kind of seemed a little flat. And I 374 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 1: don't know if that's because you hadn't really gone at 375 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: game speed and your your your body takes in your 376 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 1: mind takes a little bit to get up to full 377 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: speed and get used to oh, yeah, I remember what 378 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: this is like, this is full game speed. But I 379 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,120 Speaker 1: think the next two or three games, I think there's 380 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: a lot of players on this team, and I think 381 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: Jalen's one of them. The first three or four games 382 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: of this year is gonna be what these guys are. 383 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 1: I think Dak is one of these guys. Like you 384 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: think you know who these guys are. You've seen flashes 385 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: of this, you've seen flashes of that, but you don't 386 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: really know what kind of player you have. I think 387 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 1: you know, you may have Cheetah, maybe that guy that 388 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: you think it's. You think you've seen the potential, you've 389 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,239 Speaker 1: seen you've seen the you know what you think they 390 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: might be, But then history keeps showing you that, no, 391 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: this is what this person is, and we keep we 392 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: keep hearing about the talent on this team and this 393 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: talent talent talent, but Kurt alluded to it earlier. At 394 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 1: some point, you are what you are. And if you 395 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: history keep showing you these these you know, these habits, 396 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: these routines, that's what you are. So I think the 397 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,679 Speaker 1: next three or four games, you got a new coaching 398 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: staff in here, you got new schemes, like it's no 399 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,919 Speaker 1: longer you can't put it on the coaching staff. At 400 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: some point, and I think it's in the next few games. 401 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: You are what you are as a player, and I'm 402 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,439 Speaker 1: interested to see where I don't know if that answered 403 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 1: your question, but I'm interested to see where Jalen is 404 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 1: after about three or four games. Let me let me 405 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: give the fans a little bit of a of a 406 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: you know, behind asked about kind of players on the 407 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: roster to be able to guy when you hit these coaches, 408 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: they're not gonna be able to go out who are 409 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: just honest and I'm not gonna find this holding the language. 410 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: I want to make sure that and this is this 411 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: is the big Coaching is like parenting. You just have 412 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: to know how each one of your children function and work. 413 00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 1: So when I look at Jalen Smith and I know 414 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: how bad he played. But then I hear coaches and 415 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: ownership in front office personnel say things like, oh, good effort, 416 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: heads in the right place, had good energy. Those are 417 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: keywords to me that tells me, yeah, we don't want 418 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: to just kick his don't we don't want to kick 419 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: him in the butt right now. But behind close doors 420 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: we're getting on it. Because when you when you can't 421 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: pinpoint ways to really show me how that player that 422 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 1: we're discussing had an impact in the game, and you 423 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: have to find these little different or are the adjective 424 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 1: words whatever that to put in place to describe them. 425 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,639 Speaker 1: That's very generic. That as cold word for behind the 426 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 1: scenes of yeah he really didn't play well, but I 427 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: don't want to kick his butt to the media. But 428 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: one player on this defense that played well and it's 429 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: probably gonna make me eat crow at some point in 430 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: time of this season. And it was remarkable to see 431 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 1: a guy and Alden Smith who has not played real 432 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: lie professional football and five years and looked better than 433 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: the guys who were playing football five months ago, six 434 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 1: months ago, eight months ago. Kurt Is, is this one 435 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: of those things where because we always get on the 436 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 1: Cowboys about having these reclamation projects, and this is a 437 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: football facility, not a rehab facility. Is this one of 438 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: those things where where the Joneses will be able to 439 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,880 Speaker 1: look back on this, say in December, and be like, see, 440 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: I told you, this is why we kick the tires 441 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,719 Speaker 1: on guys like this because they may be they they 442 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: may be that guy. Did we lose, Kurt, Oh no, 443 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: yeah you did momentarily. So I only talk the last 444 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,360 Speaker 1: part of your question. If you want to, Sorry, well 445 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: I'll speak on it. Let me him say this right here, man. 446 00:25:54,000 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: We drafted Jayleen Smith, we drafted Layton van Durreg Woozier, 447 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: and the beat goes on and on. And I've said 448 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 1: it yesterday and I said again today. You know, it's 449 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: all right to go out and get a guy like 450 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 1: Aldon Smith, but you can't base your team and your 451 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,640 Speaker 1: foundation on Aldon Smith and those type guys. You cannot. 452 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 1: It's your free agents that you're signing as rookies and 453 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: as two and three year vets. It's your core guys 454 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:30,640 Speaker 1: that you that you find in the draft through one 455 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: through seven that's supposed to be building your team. And 456 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: for you to say, and for me to say, and 457 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: for you to say, hey, Aldon Smith came out and play. Okay, 458 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 1: great plus plus for us, but we gotta get at 459 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: least seven more guys playing on that level. We gotta 460 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 1: get at least seven more guys that can make plays 461 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: as a game go on to get a ball back 462 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: to your offense. Aldon Smith was that one guy that 463 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: made those plays? You know? Okay, who will we get 464 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: it from this week? A combination of guys, That's what 465 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: That's what we have to have at the end of 466 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,400 Speaker 1: at the end of the year. Saying all the Smith 467 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: is a great player. That's great and fine, but I 468 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: want to say, at the end of the year, did 469 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 1: you see Gallimore grow? Did you see trishtan Ill. These 470 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: are guys that you're drafted in the first, second, and 471 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 1: third and fourth rounds. Going again, I'm sorry I got 472 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,719 Speaker 1: knocked off line for a little bit, but going back 473 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: to your question about you know, how they're gonna replace 474 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 1: these guys, and like Nate says, how these guys are 475 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: gonna step up. They've gotta they're gonna be on the roster, 476 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 1: right they can't. At this point, You're not gonna find 477 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 1: a right tackle on the street or a middle linebacker 478 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: they've got the guys. Have guys step up now, right 479 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 1: like Jalen Smith, Francis Bernard, Jalen Smith, even though he's 480 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: a rookie, uh number thirty two for Steve Mean for 481 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 1: the Rams, Jordan whatever his name came up big. That's 482 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,919 Speaker 1: the guy who tackled Ceedee Lamb for the loss. I mean, 483 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,159 Speaker 1: you draft these guys and when you and when you 484 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 1: do find Alton Smith, that should be your extra. That 485 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: should be your cream on top of that vanilla. That 486 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,880 Speaker 1: that that that strawberry shape that you got, that should 487 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 1: be that cream on the top. And he that cherry, 488 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: he should be can't cherry.

So Game two coming 585 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: up this week. We saw this Cowboys team score seventeen 586 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: points and their opening game, Kurt, you alluded to it earlier, 587 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 1: is that when this team was in one possession game, 588 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 1: when they scored less than twenty four points, they were abysmal. 589 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 1: They were a bad football team. We hired Mike McCarthy 590 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:16,440 Speaker 1: because of the vanilla, predictable, dry stale offense that we 591 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 1: got for the last ten years from Jason Garrett. This 592 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 1: was a guy who's supposed to come in here and 593 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 1: revamp this thing and give us a new lease on 594 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 1: life with all of these offensive weapons. They kept Kellen Moore, 595 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,720 Speaker 1: who was here last year, who was like the prodigal 596 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 1: son to Jerry Jones and Jason Garrett. And mainly because 597 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: we went through all this stuff, they wanted to keep 598 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: the terminology the same except some familiarity for that as 599 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,439 Speaker 1: they're trying to make him their franchise quarterback. But after 600 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 1: you watched this game and you saw how lack thereof 601 00:34:54,480 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 1: when it came to creativity, unpredictability, excitement, non vanilla, we 602 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,319 Speaker 1: saw a lot of what we saw for the past 603 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:08,279 Speaker 1: teen years. Nate. Is there a time frame for Mike 604 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 1: McCarthy where maybe they win three or four games in 605 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 1: the row, but offense is just struggling seventeen points a game. 606 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 1: They're milling around. Is there a point in time do 607 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:22,799 Speaker 1: you see in your personal opinion, that Mike McCarthy goes 608 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 1: in and says, listen, kid, I appreciate your effort. You'll 609 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 1: continue to help out with this thing, but Daddy got it. Now. 610 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 1: It's time is now, Jesse, right now? Wait? Wait, wait, 611 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,960 Speaker 1: whoa whoa whoa wait, wait, wait, oh lord, you're saying 612 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 1: you're saying, right now, it's after game one. You're saying 613 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 1: it is time right now for Mike McCarthy to walk 614 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 1: in there and said, we appreciate your effort, kid, But 615 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 1: you're asking a different question, asking kicking Kelly Moore is 616 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,759 Speaker 1: out of this office coordinate our answer. I'm know I'm saying. 617 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 1: I'm saying the person who's going to call the plays 618 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:04,280 Speaker 1: on Sunday. Okay, all right, this is what I believe 619 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 1: is and I think I said this yesterday. I don't 620 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 1: know if they have an attachment coach McCarthy in the 621 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator Keller Moore, But I don't care what anybody said. 622 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 1: I've said this before, it I say this now. If 623 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:25,120 Speaker 1: we hired a coach McCarthy because we wanted to bring 624 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:29,359 Speaker 1: some pizzass and some pop to this offense, why isn't 625 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,800 Speaker 1: he being used for a bore. I've always thought that 626 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 1: if you have an offensive minded coach, that even if 627 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,960 Speaker 1: you let another guy like Sean McVay brought in O'Connell, 628 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,520 Speaker 1: he said, Okay, I'm bringing you in. You're gonna take 629 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 1: some of my work off me during the week by 630 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,879 Speaker 1: putting it helped me put together and like the kid 631 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,879 Speaker 1: do for Kansas City, for coaching out there in Kansas City. 632 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 1: But when Sunday come, I'm controlling this. I'm you know, 633 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 1: anybody to say, hey, well, this is a better play. 634 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,840 Speaker 1: Like the kid get done in Kansas City. This is 635 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:00,880 Speaker 1: a better play. And and that is what you do 636 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 1: as an offensive minded coach. You let him have the rains. 637 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,680 Speaker 1: But when things get tight, like this game got tight, 638 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, this is how we're gonna handle this. 639 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 1: This is how we're gonna do this, because you can't 640 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 1: tell me four games from now, if we're out of 641 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,880 Speaker 1: around twenty three points a game, we win and everything's 642 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:20,880 Speaker 1: gonna be fine. But if you're losing, listen, it's a 643 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 1: fair project. So Kellen Moore got to pick up his game, 644 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 1: Coach Riccardo got to pick up his game, and the 645 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 1: communication got to get there, cause we shouldn't lose games 646 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,160 Speaker 1: unless our offense is not as good as we thought 647 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 1: it was. Don't tell me its cause of offensive line. 648 00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: You've dealt with that in the past. I don't tell 649 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,840 Speaker 1: me that. I don't want to hear that anymore. I 650 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 1: want your offensive genius setting up every week giving us 651 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,799 Speaker 1: opportunities to score those points that we invested on all 652 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,759 Speaker 1: this time and energy and money on offensive. Yeah, I 653 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 1: don't necessarily agree with that. I think Kellen Moore still 654 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:54,799 Speaker 1: argue with him and Kurt argue with him. He gonna 655 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 1: argue today, He's gonna alle you today with you. But 656 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,839 Speaker 1: do you think McCarthy's having an influence for sure? I mean, 657 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 1: last year, the Cowboys threw about fifty eight percent of 658 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 1: the time and that was like twenty first in the league. 659 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 1: In that first game, they threw sixty one percent of 660 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 1: the time, which was eighth in the league. So I 661 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,400 Speaker 1: think McCarthy may be seeing some of that influence again 662 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,279 Speaker 1: on first and second day, through the first half, they 663 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,400 Speaker 1: threw sixty seven percent of the time, so they are 664 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:26,919 Speaker 1: opening it up more and again Pro Football Focus by whatever, 665 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 1: I don't know what the metrics they use. They have 666 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,680 Speaker 1: Kevin Moore as a top five offensive play callers, so 667 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 1: they're putting up the yards obviously, they're just not always 668 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,640 Speaker 1: putting up the points. And why that is, you know, 669 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 1: I can't tell you. It's like they're not making that 670 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:46,320 Speaker 1: play when they need to make the play. And in 671 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 1: Football Focus, and all them folks. That's great. But yeah, 672 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,759 Speaker 1: at the end of one week, is the Cowboys in 673 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:57,800 Speaker 1: the win column at a lost column, we'll be talking 674 00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 1: the same. If they were to one seventeen to fifteen, No, 675 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,480 Speaker 1: we'd have been talking different, but we'd have still been 676 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 1: talking about the offense. You out of two hundred million dollars, 677 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,840 Speaker 1: you've invested one hundred and forty million dollars in your offense. 678 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,440 Speaker 1: You fired a coach to go out and get an 679 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 1: offensive minded coach, and Arrel was an offensive minded coach. 680 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,120 Speaker 1: He wasn't a defensive guy. Who is that? Garrett was 681 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,440 Speaker 1: an offensive mind? Why didn't we fire him? Because we 682 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:26,000 Speaker 1: did not give enough consistent offense? Right? Right? That is 683 00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 1: why we fired him. Right, Okay, Why did we hire 684 00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,319 Speaker 1: mccarthur because we want to take a couple of years 685 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,759 Speaker 1: to build this thing up. Is it a now thing? 686 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:36,359 Speaker 1: I think it's a now thing and I think you're 687 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:43,840 Speaker 1: going to see his influence from Kellen Moore, though, do 688 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:48,200 Speaker 1: you believe that if we start out great and strong 689 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,680 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season, it would carry us 690 00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,759 Speaker 1: into the meat of this ugly role deal here in 691 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,879 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks or four weeks start a strong now. 692 00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 1: And That's what I'm saying is I'm not saying that 693 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,359 Speaker 1: he has to take away the play calling from Kellen Moore. 694 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,719 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that, but I'm saying you gotta have 695 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,920 Speaker 1: some type of connection. Whereas when things get tight, who 696 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,680 Speaker 1: do you want calling the plays? Honestly, if when things 697 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:16,080 Speaker 1: get tight, I'm asking you Jess, and I'm asking you Shannon, 698 00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:18,759 Speaker 1: when things get tight and it get ugly like it 699 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,200 Speaker 1: was the other day, who do you want calling plays? 700 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 1: But Nate, wouldn't that go back to the to the 701 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 1: to the notion that you want to have one voice, 702 00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:33,319 Speaker 1: one sound right? Because if you're talking about and I'm 703 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 1: just I'm just giving perspective here, I'm just trying to 704 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to have open dialogue. What it is 705 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:42,239 Speaker 1: for a quarterback in Dak Prescott in an offense with 706 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:46,200 Speaker 1: all these weapons? Do you want to keep having two 707 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,680 Speaker 1: different voices tell your quarterback to do two different things 708 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,640 Speaker 1: at different points of the game. Should should it be 709 00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,160 Speaker 1: you know, should it just be should it be North 710 00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,880 Speaker 1: Turner every single day? Or should it be North sometimes 711 00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:03,279 Speaker 1: and Jimmy some other times? Like you know, Jimmy was 712 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,320 Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator. Jimmy was a defensive coach. Let me 713 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,720 Speaker 1: say this right here. If you can't put your stamp 714 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:16,560 Speaker 1: on your team, I've seen a lot of times where Belichick, 715 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,279 Speaker 1: at the crucial times the game go back there and 716 00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:24,520 Speaker 1: sit down whipped his defensive coordinator and they talk about 717 00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,600 Speaker 1: things and he said, well this, this is this, and 718 00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 1: he hands it to him and he and he and 719 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,800 Speaker 1: he puts it out there. I've seen ray Sean McVay 720 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,600 Speaker 1: goes to sit down and gets it and works it 721 00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,879 Speaker 1: through the same with this game. He works it through. 722 00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:40,600 Speaker 1: Which this is not taking stripping nobody up their authority, 723 00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:44,320 Speaker 1: it's sharing the responsibility. The kid in Kansas City, I 724 00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:48,239 Speaker 1: think that coach, I think, I think, do you really 725 00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:50,600 Speaker 1: think they're doing that? And we've seen camera work to 726 00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,560 Speaker 1: know that well, I mean, I mean I've seen these 727 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:58,600 Speaker 1: other times that I've seen. And mccome I've seen and 728 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:00,840 Speaker 1: Marie walcome to his as a coordinate and say what 729 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:05,200 Speaker 1: you're thinking here? What? Yeah, I've seen him do this. Okay, 730 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,799 Speaker 1: game of McCarthy and more, I think McCarthy's gonna happen. 731 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:15,360 Speaker 1: You asked me, you asked me, what is the difference 732 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:19,640 Speaker 1: between this year and last year with this fast game. 733 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:24,960 Speaker 1: What is the difference your head, coach, is a big difference. Okay, 734 00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,520 Speaker 1: did you see its influenced that much besides a percentage 735 00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:32,200 Speaker 1: of more passes? Well, that's a pretty big influence. Did 736 00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,759 Speaker 1: we see the motions and the movement and all of 737 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,200 Speaker 1: this stuff right here? That's a great question that you 738 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 1: hit on right there, Nate, and I want to bring Shannon. 739 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,400 Speaker 1: I want to bring Shannon into this right here, uh, 740 00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:47,080 Speaker 1: to piggyback off of what Nate uh just said. A 741 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:52,200 Speaker 1: lot of us feel like coaching should bring you a game, 742 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,239 Speaker 1: a game and a half, two games. Thank you, Thank 743 00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:59,480 Speaker 1: you from my from my perspective, Shannon, And I know 744 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:01,759 Speaker 1: this is a small sample size and I won't hold 745 00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,320 Speaker 1: you to this for the entire year. Thank you. But 746 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:08,719 Speaker 1: do you think do you think that that that coach 747 00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,680 Speaker 1: McCarthy is going to do like Nate said it, is 748 00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:13,840 Speaker 1: he going to is he going to show his influence 749 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,760 Speaker 1: in game? I think I think Nate's speaking more about 750 00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:20,680 Speaker 1: more in game influence than overall influence. I mean, like 751 00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:22,840 Speaker 1: in the game, in the moment, Hey, we're in the 752 00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:26,000 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, it's a one score game. Hey, kellamore, bring 753 00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,719 Speaker 1: the guys around that come around and hey, let's look 754 00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,040 Speaker 1: at these kind of plays out of eye in your 755 00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,160 Speaker 1: in your perspective, do you think that let's do the 756 00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:38,399 Speaker 1: over under? How many games do you think that coach 757 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:42,719 Speaker 1: McCarthy his influence alone will be the be the reason 758 00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:47,960 Speaker 1: why this team wins two, three, none. I think a 759 00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:49,560 Speaker 1: couple of a couple of things that I want to 760 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:53,400 Speaker 1: hit on. One. I think I think coaching you should 761 00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:56,480 Speaker 1: get two. You should have two wins a year just 762 00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:59,759 Speaker 1: from coaching, at least maybe three or four, depending on 763 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,799 Speaker 1: you know, how good of a situational coach you are. 764 00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:08,400 Speaker 1: I think your question earlier about when will McCarthy insert 765 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:10,920 Speaker 1: himself and be more of a game day presence, you 766 00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,640 Speaker 1: gotta think this is his first This is he sat 767 00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,800 Speaker 1: out of year, this is his first end game action 768 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:20,359 Speaker 1: that he's been and he's recreated himself, according to him, 769 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,880 Speaker 1: by doing the analytics and by listening and watching and 770 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:28,359 Speaker 1: being willing to adapt. And I think he went down 771 00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 1: this road all off season saying he's gonna let Kelly 772 00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:33,680 Speaker 1: Moore call the plays. He's gonna let Kelly Moore call 773 00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:37,080 Speaker 1: the plays. It's gonna be really interesting because you guys 774 00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:40,440 Speaker 1: know one thing that if you're a head coach at 775 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:45,440 Speaker 1: any level, you are a control freak, above and beyond 776 00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:49,440 Speaker 1: anything else. You Your job depends on you being in 777 00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,279 Speaker 1: control and the outcome of what you control and how 778 00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:55,960 Speaker 1: you control it and the decisions you make. I guarantee 779 00:44:56,040 --> 00:45:01,239 Speaker 1: you if he feels like the game is better, the 780 00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,440 Speaker 1: team is better suited with him calling plays, you were 781 00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,640 Speaker 1: going to see him take over play calling sooner rather 782 00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:12,520 Speaker 1: than later, because ultimately, his job, in his his you know, 783 00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:16,120 Speaker 1: his legacy depends on that. So if he's you know, 784 00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:20,320 Speaker 1: he's he's a offensive genius, he's a quarterback genius. I 785 00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,280 Speaker 1: think you're gonna see it. If you see this offense 786 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,480 Speaker 1: struggle to put up points, I think you're gonna see 787 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,239 Speaker 1: it sooner than later. I don't think he's gonna be 788 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,360 Speaker 1: like coach Garrett was and wait till the season's almost 789 00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:33,120 Speaker 1: over before he starts making changes and saying, Okay, we're 790 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:35,919 Speaker 1: gonna do things different. I think you're gonna start seeing 791 00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:39,320 Speaker 1: that pretty quick. I don't have a timetable, but I 792 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,880 Speaker 1: think you're gonna see some things that are going to 793 00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:45,000 Speaker 1: look different soon. Do you think he obviously made the 794 00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:46,680 Speaker 1: call to go for it on fourth and three. Do 795 00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:51,600 Speaker 1: you think he made the play call? No, okay, I 796 00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,560 Speaker 1: think he knew. I think you knew based off of 797 00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,919 Speaker 1: the play call on third down that he probably said 798 00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:00,279 Speaker 1: during that drive, Hey, if we get inside at we're 799 00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:03,400 Speaker 1: going We're going forward on fourth because the play they 800 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:08,040 Speaker 1: can right, he said, We're going forward no matter what. 801 00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:10,520 Speaker 1: But heat but more called those two plays third and 802 00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,400 Speaker 1: fourth time. That's what I'm calling the next play, and 803 00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:19,000 Speaker 1: I'm calling this game. This show officially over. Ze.
