WEBVTT - Mick Shots: Getting Defensive 0:00:04.320 --> 0:00:06.880 The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:06.920 --> 0:00:16.799 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is nick shot 0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:20.920 screening live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the official 0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:25.599 Dallas Cowboys at now. Here are Bill Jones, Everson Wolves, 0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:33.800 and Nicky Spagnola. And here we are. It is a 0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:41.519 Thursday inside our very own SWBC Mortgage Studios. And I'm 0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:44.920 gonna start off this Thursday show with a question for you, 0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:48.800 Everson Walls. You remember Phil Pas Derek back in the 0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:52.800 l with My Men, number seventy five. He was known 0:00:53.040 --> 0:01:00.640 for the most benign rule change probably in football. Uh 0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:04.480 he kept getting drawn off sides by George Young in 0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:08.039 an extremely important game of ours. We end up losing 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:12.080 it because he kept being drawn off sides by the 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:16.399 encroachment of the D lineman. And now they have the 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:20.480 rule that the D lineman can't do that anymore. Thank you, Philips. 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:27.919 And I remember it. False start number seventy five, Philip 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:31.240 pos Derek. And the reason I bring that up is 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:36.520 that our own Mickey Spagnola has earned the title false 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:40.039 start Mickey today because as we were just getting started, 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:43.200 as we pulled back the curtain behind the scenes, it 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:46.759 was comical hearing Mickey gets set up at his home, 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:50.680 s WBC mortgage student. It made you think of big 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:54.040 that is very cool. It made me think of Philip 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:58.080 pos now because because he got called for holding about 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:02.920 five times in that night nineteen eighty six game when 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:07.480 when any light broke his wrist. When it was all 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:10.919 said and done, even after all of those holding calls, 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:16.280 we still had a chance with the Dorset screen pass. Yeah, 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:20.360 colect the two yard line and once again bring it 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:26.040 back holding once again, somebody got called for holding, right, yeah, somebody? Yeah. 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:27.959 So you know when I remember, so you know what 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:31.240 I remember about Philip pots Derek. Not only that game. 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:34.760 So it was game nine in eighty six. Both teams 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:39.840 were six and two, the Cowboys only one one more 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.440 game and the Giants went undefeated the rest of the 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.720 way to win the Super Bowl. By the way, in 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:51.000 eighty seven, during the strike, Philip pots Derek disappeared. He 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:54.360 never came back after the strike, and they made me 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:58.520 go to his house and knock on the door. The 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:01.240 newspaper did, right, I said, no, I don't want to 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.080 do that. Oh yeah, yeah, we need to do that. 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.600 We need to comment from him. So I went and 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:08.519 I believe his wife answered the door and now feel's 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:12.200 not available. Now Now every time he sees me, I'm 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:15.960 act like he's act like I'm his best friend. Phil 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:23.240 Philos is a self proclaimed um computer geek. Actually, I 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:26.919 think if I'm not mistaken, Phil built his own computer, 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:32.080 I could believe that. So, so what you're saying, Everson 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:36.720 is Mickey needs to invite Philip pos Derek over to 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:41.280 his house at one thirty every single day so that 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:44.040 Nicky can get set up for Mick shots every day. 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:46.920 That's what you're doing. Can tell him what not to do. 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:50.960 All I want to say one last day so we 0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:53.400 can go on and talk about the Cowboys. All I 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.680 gotta say is if my if my phone froze up, 0:03:56.800 --> 0:04:03.840 nothing happened at my end. Okay, shots fired, Chris, I think, sorry, Chris. 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:12.040 Shots fired at Chris. And I'm told that as this 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:15.720 poem maybe frozen, so we may or may not have 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:21.479 frozen on my end. All right, all right, he's there, 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.120 Chris Beam says, he is there. All right, let's kick 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:27.360 things off. I'm seeing a quote from Jalen Smith as 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:30.400 he is talking with the media as we speak, probably 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:34.960 and he describes this game against the Washington football team 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:38.479 as a must win game. It's a must win, it's 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:41.560 a must win both of these games, not only this 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:44.640 week but against Philadelphia next week. How would you describe it. 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.880 Let's start with you, VICKI. I think that Mike McCarthy 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:52.680 described it as this whole thing is about winning one 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:56.360 game each week, and frankly, this is a big game 0:04:56.440 --> 0:05:01.120 for us, because his point was if you win division games, 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:04.279 you can win the division no matter what else happens. 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:09.720 Is that he said, normally, in normal seasons, the magic 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.840 number in your division is if you get to four, 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:18.479 the probability of getting into the playoffs increases, and five 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:21.400 or six means you're probably in. And I think if 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:24.680 you look at it, I believe the last I want 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:29.960 to say, the last three years, maybe four, the Cowboys 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:33.680 have gone five and one. They went three and three 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:38.080 in twenty sixteen, Dak lost twice to the Giants, the 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:41.600 opener by one point and then another one by I 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.320 believe it was two points, and then they cashed in 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.880 the final game against Philadelphia because they didn't need to 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:51.640 win it to improve their playoff situation. So three and 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:55.360 three and twenty sixteen all three losses in the division, 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:59.200 and then the next four years, did I count right? 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:04.720 Seventeen seventeen eighteen? Long time? The next the next three 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:11.680 years they went five and one. Sounds good to me, spags. Yeah, 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:14.599 we'll just take your word for it. Yeah, that sounds good. 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:20.000 Where your yes man making just paying attention to me? Yeah, 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:25.480 that's WHA's your show? Thank god? Thank god? That's exactly So. 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:27.359 How many how many wins is it gonna take to 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:36.160 win this NFC East four win the division or the division? 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:42.920 I'm talking overall division? How many of you got? What's 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:45.840 your number overall overall? What's the what's the record? Oh? 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:48.920 I think it just wins, just win all shakes out. 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:54.000 It's gonna take seven or eight. Yeah, hey, look, I'm 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:57.120 optimistic on we keep picking on the NFC East, I 0:06:57.279 --> 0:07:15.680 get it. And then the one win the one win teams, 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:17.600 what are they look at? How many is that like? Nine? 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:27.160 Like nine? One? No? Wow? At eleven? Yeah? Right? One? 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:30.200 Jets have zero and there's ten other teams that have 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:32.960 one win. Two of them are playing tonight and they 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.560 are NFC East teams that would be the Giants are 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:41.280 playing the Eagles tonight. Yeah, maybe not the Eagles already 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:46.600 have one tie on their so we'll see. I mean, 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:49.400 the Eagles, what are they now? They're one three and 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.600 one right now, is that right? And so they could 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:59.360 be one three and two if they tie the Giants tonight. Okay, 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:02.880 they're one four in one right now? Would that's pretty 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:06.520 bad if they died? So all right, so give us 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:09.120 get us up to speed on what's going on at 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:13.240 the Star in Fresco. Mickey after hearing Mike McCarthy this 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:23.440 morning and reports from the practice field, we didn't go 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:27.760 through the walkthrough yesterday. Uh sounds like he's got a 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:33.160 pain in the neck. Uh. That's I like that. Those 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:38.160 whole defense. He was supposed to maybe do something, maybe 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:42.960 some limiting stuff today it seemed incur he told be 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:59.640 ready he was able to go. Um, yeah, we lost 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:03.360 were Mickey there. They are hoping for something and we 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:08.240 are hoping to get Mickey back here momentarily. One thing 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:11.880 I'll add to what Mickey is saying there, Everson is 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:16.120 a tape to Mike McCarthy show last night. Asked him 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:19.360 about Randy Gregory and he says Gregory looks good on 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:21.440 the practice field. He talked about him at his press 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:24.880 conference this morning too. Today's a big day for everybody. 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:27.480 But there's no reason to think that Gregory wouldn't get 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:31.240 through the padded practice today and be ready to go 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:34.600 on Sunday to make his debut. How much do you think, 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:37.360 Everson that the Cowboys could use a Randy Gregory on 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:42.360 this defense? Well, I don't know if his mentality or 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:44.640 his knowledge of the defense is going to help at all, 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:48.320 but I know he's gonna have the freshest legs that 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:50.960 anyone on the field is going to have. This guy 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:54.120 has been waiting for so long to get back in 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:59.600 this I'm sure mentally and fifth mentally and emotionally, he's 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:02.840 really going through some stuff right now. I just happened 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:04.320 to be a little privy to some of the things 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:08.079 that he's been going through. My former agent, Steve Weinberg, 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:12.280 has been really working behind the scenes really to try 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:15.280 and get Graby back in. He's been talking about this 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:18.800 since I was up for the Hall of Fame in Minneapolis. 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:20.480 I think there was a couple at least three I 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:23.839 think three years ago, So that's how long this whole 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:26.240 endeavor is taking. So I'm just glad that he's able 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:28.880 to get back in. Obviously, when you're talking about the 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:33.600 issues he's been having, the football aspect is really secondary. 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:35.559 I mean, you know, in the big scheme of things, 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:41.440 he's always had these issues, and drug usage has been 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:46.000 the you know, been the reason. I guess that culminated 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:48.680 in that. And so I'm just hoping he can I'm 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:52.160 hoping football can bring him peace. That's really what I'm 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:54.760 hoping that football can bring him a little stability and 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:58.440 structure in his life. And also from on the field, 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:02.360 I'm think that he can can pick up well Altum 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:07.080 Smith left off because Algut Smith's uh productivity has dropped 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:09.560 a bit, but he carried us as far as he 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.360 could for a guy that's been out for longer than Gregory. 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.200 I think he said five years when we first started 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:19.920 our mix shots this season. So yeah, Randy, greg we 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:23.040 could play a big part in this defense is uh 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:29.880 hopefully researchers and success. Yeah, and uh, you know, just 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:32.400 getting up to speed. Uh, you know, that's one of 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:34.840 the one of the things did in practice the last 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:36.640 couple of weeks he's been able to work out the 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:39.360 last couple of weeks is getting him up to h 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:43.080 football conditioning and but the beauty of it. For as 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.400 far as the Cowboys are concerned, they can use him, 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:49.560 uh in past rush situations where you know, I think 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:54.160 he can have some sort of an impact. Um, I don't. 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:58.199 Do we have Mickey back yet? I don't, no, no yet. 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:02.960 But anyway, I mean the Cowboys, they've had bigger issues 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:07.000 beyond the pass rush on this defense obviously through the 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:09.000 first six games of this season. I mean, we talk 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:15.160 about the turnovers, the giveaways on offense, and Everson you 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:17.920 talk on and on about takeaways on defense and the 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:22.200 lack thereof, but even just stopping other teams. Just because 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.920 Ezekiel Elliott fumbles a couple of times and Andy Dalton 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:30.000 throws an interception against the Cardinals, the defense has to 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:32.320 stop the other team. And now we don't. We don't 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:36.199 always have to waive the flag anytime there's a turnover 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:39.560 by our offense. I think that's what's so disheartening. We 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:41.640 watch other teams. I don't though you do it. You 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:44.720 see it, Bill, You watch other teams and you see 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:47.840 the scores of these games, and you go, man, this 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:51.800 is kind of refreshing, you know, to see someone playing defense. 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:54.640 And it's a shame that we have to view our 0:12:56.080 --> 0:13:00.600 defense in that manner because it just seems that no 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:04.360 matter who's coaching, no matter what the system is, with 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:08.280 the exception of the Giants game, you haven't seen any 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:12.800 consistent productivity as a group. I think the best game 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:16.079 they had obviously was the Giants, and what you saw 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:19.839 was it started where it should start. The front four. 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:23.480 They were moving, they were they were moving that offensive line, 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:29.600 they were controlling the line of scrimmage, and they were penetrating, 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:34.120 which gave Jayleu Smith and Joe Thomas a chance to 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:38.000 really show what they can do. And so that's the 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:41.240 way it's supposed to fit, you know, But we've only 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:46.280 seen that once out of six games, and again and 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:49.360 again that was against the Giants team that had scored 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.880 one touchdown in the previous three weeks or something like that, 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:55.439 or had gone two weeks without scoring a touchdown. So 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:57.800 how much of it was the fact they were playing 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:00.400 the Giants and how much of it was the Dallas defense, 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:05.600 which to that point, the Washington football team has about 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:08.360 as many weapons on offense as what the Giants do, 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:11.319 which is not much. They got Terry McLaurin, second year 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:14.040 receiver out of Ohio State, and that's about it on 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:18.080 that offense. So if ever there was an opponent that 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:22.320 might be something that can fix this Dallas defense. The 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:25.560 opponent is that what you call it fixing? Fixing it how, 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:29.160 I don't know if it'll fix it, but it'll definitely 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:34.360 placate the fans and hopefully the owner just a little bit, 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:38.040 because at this point, what you're looking at is just 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:41.160 in the whole season of futility. And what we saw 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:43.480 last year was different because you know, we started out 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:46.280 three and old and you know, everybody was bawling. It 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:48.240 was all you know, everybody's jumping all of ourn and 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:50.840 we're talking super Bowl. Well, now this is just a 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:54.840 continuation of how we kind of ended last season defensively, 0:14:55.800 --> 0:15:01.440 the ineptness, the lack of run defense that the I'm sorry, 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:04.320 not just lack of just the non existence of a 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:08.680 run defense. So now when you need your defense to 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:12.560 step up, when your quarterback is out for the entire season, 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:15.560 when you have a running back who's kind of having 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.200 his fumble woes just a little bit and we know 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:22.200 he'll come out of at this point, this is when 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:25.120 you need a defense to answer. We're like, okay, we 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:28.000 got this. You guys will go ahead and settle in and 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.480 and get your stuff together. We're gonna make sure and 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:33.120 we're gonna ramp up what we need to do to 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:36.360 keep this team in the in the first place in 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:40.480 the NFC East. All right, we are going to take 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:43.760 a break here and hopefully Philip Paus Derek has made 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:50.840 it over to Mickey Computer issues and uh after that 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:53.720 false start, we will have more mix shots in just 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:57.880 a moment.

Speaking of unleashing the Beast, that's 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:37.720 what just happened in the break here, Everson, as if 0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:41.280 only we had some behind the scenes camera on the 0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:44.680 what's going on as we try to get Mickey established. 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:48.960 I hope, I hope, I hope Mickey's achilles is doing 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:51.240 better because Chris is about to come whip his ass. 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:59.920 I believe Vicky is back apparently, Yeah, of course, of course, 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:03.520 none of the problems ever said. We know that none 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:08.359 of the problems have been nicky. Yeah, I just point 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:13.280 out one thing I had. I didn't change anything. He didn't. 0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:16.359 I didn't touch anything. It's just I didn't touch anything, 0:19:16.440 --> 0:19:22.320 that's right, he says. He says, I did refresh my computer. Anyway, 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:25.040 All right, you're you're refreshed and ready to go. Now, 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:29.080 you were talking about the practice report you were caught 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:33.680 in you were cut off in mid sentence. Right now. 0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:36.159 The key thing is, and I guess we're gonna have 0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:41.119 to wait till the actual report comes out, is how 0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:46.560 well or how much was Cam irving and able to practice, 0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:51.000 because they're looking at him as the potential starter at 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:56.240 left tackle now that Brandon Knight is recovering from his 0:19:56.359 --> 0:20:02.480 scope to repair toward meniscus. So he hadn't he hadn't played, 0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:07.639 but what part of one game until he got rolled 0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:11.000 up on on that extra point or field goal attempt, 0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:13.560 and then he was ready to come back. They thought 0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:18.160 off ir last week and he came down ill. So 0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:21.760 we'll see what he's able to do. Otherwise, I mean, 0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:28.400 the next guy's up is Greg Senat or Jordan Mills, who, 0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:31.000 by the way, you know, I've been wondering what's the 0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:33.840 deal with him. He's got seven years experience, he's played 0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:39.080 all all the spots, but I've forgotten that he basically 0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:42.920 didn't have any training camp. They signed him and he 0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:45.280 came in and he wasn't I don't know how good 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:47.640 a shape he was in or if he was ill too, 0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:51.520 but at least this guy's played in the league quite 0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:55.480 a bit. Now, Sanat's got a several games of experience. 0:20:56.400 --> 0:20:58.560 So we'll see where they go at that at that 0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:02.720 tackle position. Uh, it looks like Connor McGovern's probably your 0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:06.880 guard over there. Um, so you don't have the ability 0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:11.520 to move Zack Martin around. So now you're gonna have uh. 0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:15.480 And if if Irving can't go, then you're it's the 0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:18.399 next guy up, next guy up, next guy up. That 0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:21.040 that would end up at left tackle for you. If 0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:25.560 if Irving can't go, your starter can't go. H. I mean, 0:21:26.000 --> 0:21:28.720 it's unbelievable, but you know what what you guys were 0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:32.200 talking about. And I was chomping at the bit to 0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:36.200 come in and say absolutely, just because you have problems 0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:39.040 on offense doesn't mean you should have to have problems 0:21:39.080 --> 0:21:45.160 on defense. Right stop somebody. Uh and and remember this, 0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:49.760 this defense last year finished ninth overall in total yards. 0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:54.119 This defense this year is on record sending pace to 0:21:54.160 --> 0:21:59.239 get more yards than any team in Cowboys history, and 0:21:59.320 --> 0:22:02.040 that includes nineteen sixties. Yea, Now, I know it was 0:22:02.080 --> 0:22:06.160 only twelve games, but I bet if you averaged it out, 0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:09.080 it's still going to be more than any other team 0:22:09.119 --> 0:22:12.920 in club history. All they lost was four guys, right, 0:22:13.320 --> 0:22:19.680 four guys in free agency, Robert Quinn, MALIEK Collins, Byron Jones, 0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:23.760 and Jeff and everybody wanted to get rid of Jeff. 0:22:23.800 --> 0:22:26.160 He who who got an interception a couple of weeks ago. 0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:29.439 If I'm not mistaken, Yes, he did a big interception 0:22:29.480 --> 0:22:33.280 for the Raiders. MALIEK. Collins. Oh, we can't afford him. 0:22:33.640 --> 0:22:37.600 I think you can ford him now because they're having 0:22:37.640 --> 0:22:42.480 troubles defensive tackle. I understand the Quinn thing. And I 0:22:42.520 --> 0:22:45.639 don't know how well he's you know, and and and 0:22:46.119 --> 0:22:48.959 I was told last year, Yeah, he got all those sacks, 0:22:49.000 --> 0:22:51.800 but that's all he was about. He didn't hold the 0:22:51.960 --> 0:22:54.560 edge down in the running game. Well, no one's doing 0:22:54.640 --> 0:23:00.919 it now, so I don't get it. So who do 0:23:01.000 --> 0:23:03.359 we have? And it's what and it's you know what? 0:23:03.440 --> 0:23:05.320 And ever since, And it was about what you were 0:23:05.359 --> 0:23:10.200 talking about two things. One just mistakes. You know, the 0:23:10.840 --> 0:23:14.720 Kyler We talked about the Kyler Murley run on fourth 0:23:14.720 --> 0:23:17.479 and one or whatever. Hold down the edge? What are 0:23:17.480 --> 0:23:21.439 you collapsing inside? For the third and eleven? The twelve 0:23:21.480 --> 0:23:25.120 yard passed to Larry Fitzgerald. What's the corner doing ten 0:23:25.200 --> 0:23:27.359 yards off the line of scrimmage? You know where the 0:23:27.359 --> 0:23:31.280 ball's going, so what he's not going to run by you. 0:23:32.320 --> 0:23:37.320 So it's just like just not playing smart football. And 0:23:37.359 --> 0:23:39.719 who do you blame that on? Do you blame that 0:23:39.760 --> 0:23:42.199 on the coach or do you blame that on the 0:23:42.240 --> 0:23:46.480 defensive leadership. That's the issue that we're having here. It's 0:23:46.520 --> 0:23:49.959 the same problems we had last year with Christmas Shard 0:23:50.400 --> 0:23:52.840 being here, and they talked about the undercutting and things 0:23:52.840 --> 0:23:55.040 of that nature that may have been happening, and all 0:23:55.040 --> 0:23:57.080 those which shouldn't have anything to do with how the 0:23:57.080 --> 0:23:59.359 guys are playing on the field, because they still made 0:23:59.600 --> 0:24:03.120 the same mistakes they made last year, making even more 0:24:03.600 --> 0:24:08.280 this year. So is it Mike Nolan it? You know, 0:24:08.320 --> 0:24:11.760 we wanted to blame Jason Garrette for that. Even so 0:24:11.840 --> 0:24:16.840 now all the all the suspects have left, We've got 0:24:16.960 --> 0:24:24.080 new suspects. What is the problem. And at some point 0:24:24.119 --> 0:24:27.480 guys have just got to play, right. I mean, in 0:24:27.520 --> 0:24:31.840 your mind, if it's third and eleven and you're gonna 0:24:31.840 --> 0:24:36.080 play twelve yards off the line of scrimmage, no, you're 0:24:36.080 --> 0:24:38.520 probably not gonna And so what if you get beat, 0:24:38.600 --> 0:24:43.160 you just gotta play. You're you're in I'm thinking man coverage. 0:24:43.160 --> 0:24:47.040 On the eighty yard touchdown pass, they send out three receivers. 0:24:47.480 --> 0:24:50.080 The safety got the guy down the slot. The other 0:24:50.119 --> 0:24:53.040 corners got the guy on the other side of the field. Well, 0:24:53.080 --> 0:24:55.720 you probably should have that receiver that you just sat 0:24:55.800 --> 0:24:58.480 on and let go buy you because you were in 0:24:58.520 --> 0:25:01.000 single safety high. Oh yet to do is that's all 0:25:01.000 --> 0:25:03.959 he had to do, was just turning around. Nothing behind me. 0:25:04.040 --> 0:25:06.120 I guess I better run with him. And you've got 0:25:06.160 --> 0:25:08.960 a guy who's known as a deep threat. He runs 0:25:09.000 --> 0:25:12.199 like a four three four. That's his deal. That's what 0:25:12.320 --> 0:25:16.399 he does. It's crazy or like the or like the 0:25:16.560 --> 0:25:20.600 early in the game, the end a round to Christian 0:25:20.680 --> 0:25:24.600 Kirk right, Well, they collapsed on that side of the field. 0:25:24.840 --> 0:25:27.160 When you see that guy in motion, you at least 0:25:27.160 --> 0:25:29.840 got to respect the fact that they might flip it 0:25:29.880 --> 0:25:32.280 to it. Hey, we've seen end the rounds before, so 0:25:32.400 --> 0:25:35.800 you would think they would game plan for anything that 0:25:35.840 --> 0:25:38.720 has hurt us in previous weeks. And anytime I talk 0:25:38.800 --> 0:25:43.000 about what we're going to see from the upcoming team, 0:25:43.320 --> 0:25:45.240 what you're going to see is what you've already seen 0:25:45.480 --> 0:25:49.719 because you haven't shown you can stop it exactly exactly, 0:25:50.080 --> 0:25:52.040 So at some point you got to think for yourself 0:25:52.080 --> 0:25:56.840 out truly very true. The other part of it go 0:25:56.880 --> 0:25:59.439 ahead making all I was gonna say, all I know 0:25:59.600 --> 0:26:02.840 is it's really hired to win if you keep giving 0:26:02.920 --> 0:26:07.200 up thirty eight points a game, right, And even against 0:26:07.240 --> 0:26:10.200 the Giants, they gave up thirty four, and of course 0:26:10.240 --> 0:26:12.359
