And then I got home 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:57.040 around like four four fifteen, and then I just like 0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.600 messed around for like an hour, like you know, started 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:02.200 like chopping it up in one of my roommates because 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:03.280 he was about to go to work, and I was 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:04.560 just like, man, what am I doing. I need to 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:06.000 go to sleep. I was show at nine am. 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:08.280 So this is on me. This is on me right now. 0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:12.200 I'm very tired today. Dedication though, yes, sir, only for 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:12.639 the brand. 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:14.480 No hesitation on you calling in to me. 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:16.120 You know, I had to show some grit, you know, 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:19.640 because after last night's performance, I'm looking around and I'm seeing, 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:21.600 you know that the grit that's being shown on the field. 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:23.080 I was like, you know what, I got to go in. 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:26.760 I can be ready for talking cowboys. So here we are, maybe. 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:27.799 Player, That's what I'm talking about, Nick. 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:30.480 We are the Morning Show, and of course there is 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:32.680 always a portion of talking Cowboys. Brought to you by 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:35.320 Quaker Oats, the super trusted super food. Quaker Oats, the 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:37.800 official oatmeal sponsor of the Dallas Cowboys. But we had 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:41.119 plenty of grits last night. 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:42.160 I see what you do there? 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:43.079 You see what I did there? 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:43.560 I sit there. 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:45.480 I threw the read in there early, just for it 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:49.640 smart Man, twenty to seventeen. And like Nick said, I 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:53.280 mean it took sounds from toughness, it took physicality. Yeah, 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:55.440 it's the same score they beat the Chargers by the 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:57.960 last time they played at Sofi Stadium back in twenty 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:02.520 twenty one. In twenty seventeen. In fact, Nick, it was 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:04.920 interesting at least whenever Isaiah and I were watching this 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:09.200 on the TV copy back here it was. It was 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:12.920 intense really from the jump. I mean there was an intensity, 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:16.320 There was a focus, a laser focus at times, not 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:19.560 so much at other times throughout the football game. But 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:21.079 one thing that really stood out to me, it was 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:23.840 right at the end. It was Mike McCarthy raising his hands. 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.520 It was Dak Prescott looking up to the sky and saying, 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:29.400 think you, thank you. What did it feel like in 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:31.760 the locker room? What did it feel like following the game? 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:35.520 Was it a euphoria? Was there a big celebration or 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:39.480 was it more so of a chip off the shoulder, 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.120 a chip off the whole block, just to get another 0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:43.320 win and go into the bye week. 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:43.680 With a hin end. 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:45.280 Yeah, probably more so the latter. As far as a 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:47.560 chip off the shoulder, it was more so just a relief. 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:51.200 Everyone was definitely. I wouldn't say it was euphoric by 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:54.640 any means. You know, there wasn't you know, Champagne Bottles 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:56.720 getting popped in for a week six win going into 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:58.800 the bye, but it was. 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:00.840 There was some nice joint. One was happy that they 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:01.560 pulled out with the win. 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.720 There was one distinct conversation that I kind of overheard, 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.240 and I won't say which player this was just because 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:09.680 of confidentiality, I would assume, but one player was like, man, 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:11.880 my heels kind of hurting like that as he. 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:12.840 Was taking off his tape. 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:14.840 And another player that was in the same position group, 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:15.880 he's like, you be all right, man, you got the 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:16.719 buye week to go to. 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:17.640 Go with it. 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:21.719 And so everyone everyone's pretty feeling, feeling pretty good. The 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:24.640 flight home last night, pretty good vibes, much better vibes 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:26.520 than this time last week when they were coming back 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:29.240 from San Francisco. But you know, with this team, I 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:32.960 think resilience was probably the word to use from last night, 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:35.640 because the game last night started exactly how the San 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:36.679 Francisco game started. 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:38.839 On both sides of the ball. It was just flipped. 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.159 It was the defense giving up a touchdown and the 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:43.599 offense going three and out, and man, when that happened 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:44.960 last night, we just kind of looked around and were like, 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:46.440 this is about to happen again, Like there's no way 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.400 this is about to happen again. And then the offense response, 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:51.120 they get on, they get on the board with a 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:51.880 touchdown drive. 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:52.120 It was. 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:56.160 It was a long, methodical touchdown drive. They got going 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:57.839 with the run game, they got going with the pass game. 0:04:58.000 --> 0:04:59.840 It was probably was probably the last time we saw 0:04:59.880 --> 0:05:03.839 the on game the entire night. But overall, I feel 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.279 like the offense really found its execution through the past 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:07.800 game and that's something we've been talking about a lot. 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.040 And Dak had his best game of the season, needed 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:13.120 to have that against that defense. We talked about how 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:15.479 there was such a big opportunity there. CD did the 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:18.360 same exact thing, so really good to see the guys that. 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:19.960 Needed to get involved get involved. 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:23.720 And then defensively, you know, even though they only got 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.240 home once on the Michael Parsons sac late in the game, 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:28.760 they forced so many pressures that it felt like Herbert 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.320 was running out of the pocket every single play. And 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:33.000 I think I saw a stat last night when the 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:37.080 Cowboys force more than fifteen pressures on the quarterback since 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:38.240 dan Quinn has arrived. 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:40.000 They're seventeen and two. 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:42.840 So a big time, big time job by the defensive line. 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:45.320 Even if they only got home once, their impact was 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:49.000 made much larger. And then how about Stefan Gilmore finishing 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:50.520 it off? Really really cool to see. 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:52.719 Are you saying pressures are more important than the sex? 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:55.760 I seem to know. 0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:00.560 Let's look at three plus sacks are there? 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:02.440 Yeah? 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:06.440 To your point, proud of these guys for bouncing back 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.120 right and remaining resilient. There was a lot of opportunities 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:10.719 for them to put kind of put their head down 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:12.760 and say, crap, here we go again. 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:13.760 They didn't do so. 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:18.119 And the guys, to your point, the guys that needed 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:20.200 to step up, the position groups that needed to step 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:21.320 up in this game did so. 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:22.560 Dak. 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:24.880 You know, people can say whatever the heck they want 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.760 to about Dak. We sat here last week and say, 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:30.120 he's not broken. He just has to do better, right, 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:32.320 He just has to make better decisions. I feel as 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:35.280 if he made better decisions. I think that instead of 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:38.760 forcing the ball and having having turnovers potential interceptions. You know, 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.560 he took the sacks, and sometimes that's a positive play 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:45.080 versus what the other decision would have resulted in. So 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:48.279 he has more sacks than when you than you would like. However, 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:50.479 you didn't have at no point in time, you feel 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:52.760 like there's every at risk of any interception, So that's 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:56.240 a positive. So he stepped his game up. He extended 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:59.080 plays that a lot of quarterbacks would not have been 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:01.359 able to extend to put you in a position to 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:03.120 be able to get first downs and actually get some 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.839 first downs. He utilized his legs like people said that 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.120 he needs to do more often, and we know when 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:09.680 he uses his legs he puts his team in a 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:16.280 better position offensively. Yeah, Mike McCarthy, great, great job moving 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.880 your playmakers around. You know, this is not this is 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:22.040 not like a photo before the ball was snapped. You know, 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:24.360 Ceedee Lamb was moving from the first snap of the game. 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:27.240 Ceedee Lamb was moving around, Brandon Cooks was moving around. 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:30.280 You know, there was there was some some some swag 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:31.040 to the motions. 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:33.000 You know, there's a little energy in the motions. It was. 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:37.440 It created matchup nightmares. It created space, it created leverage, 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:40.400 it created confusion. Right, So moving guys around. We sat 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.360 here and talked about that last week as well, how 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:44.440 important that is to this offense. We sat on the 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:47.000 pregame show, the top five offenses in the league. Their 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:50.240 guys don't sit still before the snap, right, so they 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:50.800 got into there. 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:51.239 He hadn't. 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:54.360 He got into his bag. Defensively, defensive line stepped up 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:56.040 in a major way. And I'm not even just talking 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:59.480 about pressures. That's that's what we expected this defensive line, right, 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.560 No dish to them, but we expect pressures. We expect 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:05.320 when they when they are in passing situations to make 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:08.120 it make it hell for opposing quarterbacks. That's the expectation 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:10.920 for this team and for that defense. What they did 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:13.480 was they took away the run, and by taking away 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:14.680 the run, they were allowed to do what. 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:16.640 They do best, which is pass rush. 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.120 They shut down one of the most versatile running backs 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:22.320 in the game, Austin Eckler. He's fully healthy coming off 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:24.240 of injury. He's been out for the last four weeks. 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:27.080 This dude came in there ready to roll, had a 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:29.040 good start to the game. But after that they shut 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:29.480 him down. 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:31.200 Did you say they punched him in the mouth. 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:34.160 They punched them all the way in the mouth, literally literally, 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:37.840 And before the game, you know figured really, you know, and. 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:41.440 Act fourteen carries for twenty seven yards, that's one point 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:41.960 nine yards. 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:45.280 That's the definition of shutting somebody down. And you had 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:47.720 to do that because if they had access to Eckler, 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:48.440 you're in trouble. 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:49.480 You're in trouble. 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:52.360 So the defensive front did a great job and then 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:54.839 go all the way to the next level. Who was 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:58.199 going to fill in for vander ash oh Man way Thomas? No, 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:00.800 Jyya is not healthy, so he can't help. So uh 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:03.280 Malik Jefferson non main leege. Jefferson's more of a special 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:05.560 teams player. Okay, well, who is it gonna be? H? 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.840 Fourteen fourteen fourteen Cox? Now, Dad Cox ain't here no more, No, 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:12.280 it's not him. Oh Marky's bell, Yeah, Marky's bell. Yeah 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:13.000 that guy, you. 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:15.720 Mean, the undersized guy, the twohudred rounder. Yeah, yeah, that guy. 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:16.640 Well guess what. 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:18.520 He hadn't had a great start to the season, but 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:20.360 he showed up in a big way last night. He 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:25.000 was all over the freaking place, running around, making life 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:28.520 hell for the quarterback, taking away Eckler, running taking away 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:30.679 any other little little dump downs that they had, running 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:35.000 sideline the sideline, making big hits, pressures. He was the 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.840 game the game changer for me on that side of 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:38.160 the ball. 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:39.280 Yeah, he was so awesome. 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:40.880 And I talked to him one on one after the 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:44.320 game in the pre in the locker room, and he's 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:46.360 so like naive to the moment too. It feels like, 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:48.120 which is it's probably a good thing to have in 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:50.120 that that kind of situation. I know dan Quinns talked 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:52.719 about that with Deron Bland at times, just about how 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:54.599 like no moment is too big for him. Kind of 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:56.360 feels that way. With Marquis Bell, it was really good 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:57.920 to see him ball out the way he did last night. 0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:00.200 Yeah, and there were multiple guys that stepped up in 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:01.640 that way, and we kind of talked about it that 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.199 there were role players that needed to come in and 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:07.520 play better. And it wasn't perfect. There were penalties. There 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:08.320 were mistakes a. 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:10.600 Lot of penalties. 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:14.080 There was a lot going on offensively, defensively, doesn't matter. 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.800 It wasn't a perfect game from any unit, but it 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:18.280 was enough to get the job done, and there were 0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:20.400 a lot of key plays throughout. I felt like our 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:23.160 highlight read last night was the longest I've ever had 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:25.360 to put together because I felt like there were so 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.719 many crucial points in this football game. You could talk 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:31.440 about the first half. You could talk about the decision 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:33.520 to not take a shot at the end zone and 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:35.560 kick a field goal going into halftime. You could talk 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:39.480 about the second half and the punt touch and Jalen 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:41.480 Tober trying to make a play and it gives it 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:45.520 back to the Chargers. But ultimately, the number one thing 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:47.880 that stood out on offense was the way that Dak 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:52.080 Prescott started playing instinctively again, started using the legs, started 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:54.480 getting out of trouble because he was under pressure quite 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:56.080 a bit, and he got sacked a couple times too. 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:58.559 I think it was four sacks total on the game. 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:02.480 He was under pressure. This pass rush got after Dak Prescott, 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:05.000 But it was his ability to improvise the gate's ability 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.720 to escape that we haven't seen really at any point 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:10.959 this season that allowed him to be successful. Fine targets 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:13.800 downfield open up that passing attack a little bit like 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.160 you said a little bit earlier, Nick, I mean it 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:18.120 might have been the last time we saw the run game. 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:20.800 Neither team could get the ground game going. But the 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:23.199 difference in this one was the fact that Dak had 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:25.720 a better game than Justin Herbert and that's how you 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:26.120 got the win. 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:29.079 Yeah, four won this game all in all, three hundred 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:30.640 and twelve total yards. It was not only on the 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:33.079 ground with the fourth down scamper and being able to 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:35.679 make that happen, and then through the air he did it. 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:38.800 You know, the run game it couldn't really get going. 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:40.679 And I wrote about it in five Takes last night. 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:42.520 They have to start getting creative with Tony Pollard in 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:44.800 the run game. And I hate to harp on a 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:46.679 couple of negatives here, but you have to look at 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:48.160 the score and you say, you only score twenty, and 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:49.760 you were three points away from losing this game. It 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:52.200 could have gone either way late and then so there 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:54.240 were definitely negatives to draw away. And the two big 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:57.000 things I came away with was Tony Pollard. There's just 0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:59.320 not enough creativity with him, and then I don't feel 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:02.520 like there's enough creativity in the play calling overall. You 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:05.439 mentioned the pre snap motion and it was the first 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:07.240 time we had really seen that so far the season, 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:09.760 and it got it got us back to like, looking 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:13.760 at an NFL offense, I want, I want more, give 0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:14.280 me more. 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:17.480 I just there's so many weapons on this team. 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:19.800 I feel like you can put guys in positions to 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:22.040 make some make some plays out in the open field. 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:24.280 Like it could be as simple as the Braindon cooks 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:26.559 in around and it's a big first down, fourteen yard 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:28.720 game and it gets it, sparks a drive and then 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:30.760 he ends up having a huge drive, has a huge 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:31.960 third down catch on that drive. 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:32.840 It only builds. 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:35.240 Momentum, Like, let's just get the get the ball in 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:38.880 the hands of these guys. We can keep the short concepts, Okay, 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.560 we can keep the short medium concepts, but just get 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:44.080 a little more creative with it. I'm going back on 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:46.000 the film today. It's actually one of my notes that 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:48.440 I do have how many slams the CD run CD 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:50.120 run last night, which like he did good. 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:52.600 Don't get me wrong, but it's just like, man, but. 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:56.520 You know what, Like to that point, I sat here 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:59.640 last week and said, this offense, the West Coast offense 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:03.520 works right when you move guys around and if you 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:05.920 just line up and run slants, you just line up 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:08.040 and run hitches, line up and run shallows, like. 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:09.760 It's probably not gonna work to your favor. 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:13.560 But when you watch film, okay, when everybody else watching 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:17.040 this film, go back and look at how putting CD 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:21.240 Lamb in motion or anybody in motion softens the defense, 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:25.240 how it creates leverage. Right, So ceed Lamb might be 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:27.000 lined up one way, all of a sudden, you run 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:29.839 a motion across the formation. Now whoever was on him 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:33.400 goes from inside inside leverage to outside leverage, right, and 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:35.880 it goes from four yards off to five yards off. 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:39.520 Those little adjustments that nobody pays attention to are what 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:42.920 creates the opportunities for him to run slant routes uninhibited, 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:45.880 right that, I mean, there's so many opportunities like that. 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:47.839 That you that showed up on film last night was like, 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:50.360 you know what, the safety was going to roll down 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:52.040 to his side. But as soon as you put somebody 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.640 in motion, they change responsibilities and they sent the other 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:56.520 safety down instead of that safety that was going to 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:58.439 take away that slant, and you're able to hit ced 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:00.520 Lamb across the middle. There's a lot of things like 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:02.960 that that people don't see on film. And that's why 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:06.040 I say motions pre pre snap motions and shifts or 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:08.960 things of that nature important because you change the dynamic, 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:11.680 you change the responsibilities the defense has to adjust, and 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:13.800 when they adjust, they adjust in the way in which 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.280 you want them to and anticipate them to to free 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:18.880 up even though you're still running slants in short routes. 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:20.720 It allows you to get those those big plays. 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:22.520 And we've talked about it many times about how Dak 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:25.440 Prescott at time struggles with reading coverages. It highlights coverages 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:28.360 by having pre snap motions. So why not integrated even more. 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:31.040 I think there's only one offense in the entire NFL 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:33.880 right now that could get away with the lack of 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:35.920 creativity that this team showed through the first. 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:37.760 Five or five games. 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:40.760 Yeah, I'll kind of keep last night as an exception, 0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:42.760 and it's Miami just because of all the speed that 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:45.000 they have, Like they can run those short, quick routes 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:48.440 and take off like good. But not every team is Miami. Clearly, 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:50.440 they have the most yards ever through five games. So 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.040 I just need to see a little bit more creativity 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:54.680 top to bottom there well, and it goes hand in 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:55.680 him with pre snap motions. 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:58.480 It looked like the creativity allowed for more confidence for 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.560 Dak too, because for sure, the ability for him to 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:04.320 step up into the pocket, step out of trouble, that 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:07.480 doesn't come without a little bit of confidence, Just a 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:09.760 little bit of confidence to know, Okay, this is where 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:12.000 my guys are going, this is where they're going to be. 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:14.760 That sort of deal from a quarterback standpoint, So when 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:16.400 you're looking at it, Isaiah, and you're looking at a 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:19.360 game that Dak had last night, it's not going to 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:21.840 jump off the page from a statistics standpoint. But it 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:23.960 was clean. He took care of the football and he 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:27.120 moved the chains. That's what the offense is predicated on. 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:29.800 How did you feel like he looked in the way 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:30.600 that he executed. 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:34.400 I think he executed relatively. Will No, there's definitely balls 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:37.800 he wished he had back. Sure, it's nice quarterbacks, Oh 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:38.800 my gosh, Herbert had. 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:40.240 Herbert did not have a good day. 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:41.400 He did not have a good day. 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:42.840 And part of that was because the defense was putting 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:44.880 pressure on us, sir, and he did not feel comfortable 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:46.640 setting his feet. So if you can't set your feet 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:48.080 as a quarterback, you're not going to throw the ball 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:51.240 as accurately as you should. There's some I'm sure dan 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:52.600 Quinn will go back and look at the film. There 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.360 were some big plays left on the table for the 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:57.720 Chargers that they just missed on. So glad they missed 0:15:57.720 --> 0:15:58.040 on him. 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:00.520 And that double move that Keenan put on. 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:04.960 When he did the tumble, he did the tumble for it. Yeah, 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:06.800 there was there was. There were some plays out there that. 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:09.280 Couple of them looked away that I looked away because. 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:11.600 I I think off the top there there was at 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:13.920 least three plays that should have been probably touchdowns close 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:16.320 the touchdowns that they just missed on the wall. 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:18.760 With the batdown, there was a screen left side to 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:21.160 Austin Eckler and he had a blocker in front, and 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:25.640 it was one blocker and the only guy that uh 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:28.800 Eckler would have had to beat, I believe was it 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:29.920 was it the Monk Clark. 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:31.480 That would have been Yeah, it was the bat down 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:33.240 by d Law would have been six. That had have 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:35.440 been six, most likely would have been Sick Todown. Yeah, 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:37.680 there's these two Keenan Allen players that would have been six. 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:39.840 I mean, but it is what it is, right could 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:41.080 have should have would have didn't happen. 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:42.960 Dak played well. 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.160
