Yeah, you still still 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:27.120 feeling bad from it? Just sucks. I'm not gonna be 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:28.880 able to see you guys every day. I know it hurts, 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:32.440 it's trash. It hurts because of many reasons. That's one 0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:35.520 of the reasons I started going through the pictures. Last night. 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.560 I posted it on on I g a sad face. 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:42.080 Put it on you you felt a sad face me too, 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:45.240 Like at the end of the year. I usually put 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:47.240 the other a little montage of pictures or whatever. And 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:48.880 I put it up on Instagram last night, and it's 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:52.600 just like, man, Wow, that went by real fast, went 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:55.960 by real quick, and just like that, it's done. I'm 0:01:56.000 --> 0:02:02.480 just over here trying to figure out, Oh gosh, were 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:04.400 you stirring up over there. I'm not stirring up anything. 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:07.960 You're starting up trouble. I'm stirring up anything, Apparently, I'm not. 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:11.200 You know, We're still get a little bit of nation 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:15.280 right wide trouble that you're stirring up over there. We're 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:19.240 just sitting here dealing with dealing with the loss, uh 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:21.799 you know, back in Santa Claure, Santa Clair that the 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.720 Cowboys said, and still kind of going through the grieving 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.640 process of that as we start to unfortunately try to 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:29.480 turn the page to the off season that has now 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:33.280 arrived earlier than we would have liked or anticipated, but 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:36.400 you know, also later than the haters anticipated. So true. 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:40.800 But that said, um, you know, and we said it yesterday. 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:45.720 One percent honorable and and noble for Dak Prescott to 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:47.880 step up and say, hey, those two interceptions were one 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:50.400 hundred percent on me, uh, saying how he has to 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.519 do better, saying that he will go into the off season, 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:55.960 and virtually guaranteeing that the interception number that he put 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:59.680 up this year will not occur in twenty twenty three. Um. 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:03.960 And and you know, I wrote the article basically detailing 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:06.480 the things that went wrong in San Francisco, you know, 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:09.640 the science is the science, and giving Dak a salute 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:13.840 for taking accountability. And we put the article out on Twitter, 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:16.520 and instead of everybody taking it as hey, Dak Prescott 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:19.520 took accountability, everybody's like, oh, the team is throwing them 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:22.160 under the bus. Where's the bus? I don't I don't 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:25.239 see the bus. But you know, Twitter is going to Twitter. 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:28.600 Twitteros are going to Twitter. You know what I mean? 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:31.400 So I know what you mean. No, see, Yeah, but 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.560 it's crazy. Is it's even more hilarious as this grows 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:37.640 to its own thing, because first of all, I know 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:40.320 how the game works. I get the game. Um, you 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:43.760 know the guys that what's the name of that show? 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:46.240 First Fake? Okay, so that show. So I know what 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:51.680 their formula. Um, you know, uh Pat Fugazy, I know 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.120 his formula. I mean I know the formula. Right. So 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:55.880 the formula is for them to look at the trending 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.560 topics rather they care about it or not, and then 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:02.280 they formulate segments off of it so that that can generate, 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:04.760 continue to stir up the hive, and you know, you 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:06.880 get the people who are angry, and you get them angrier, 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:11.000 not realizing over maybe realizing that those people didn't read 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:15.320 the article in the first place anyway, because had they 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:20.200 read it, they would have seen that it detailed all 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:23.119 of the things that went wrong on offense as a whole. 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:25.560 But you didn't read the article. Hell, you didn't even 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:27.000 read the tweet. Because if you're at the tweet, then 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:30.680 you felt their quotation marks in the tweet that says 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:33.599 dak Prescott dak On lost to forty nine. It doesn't 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:37.880 say no see on dak On lost forty So for 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:42.200 those who read the tweet appropriately, for those that read 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:45.080 the article and continue to follow the science and half 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:48.200 follow the science up to this point, and thankfully will 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:50.839 continue to follow the science. I thank you, we love 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:55.440 you here talking Cowboys, we love you here Dallas Cowboys 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:58.359 dot com, and I love you for following the Science 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:01.640 Lab that comes out weekly and will continue to into 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:04.480 the off season. But I just wanted to kind of 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:07.440 get that off my chists. It's it's it's sad that 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:10.400 this is the society we're in, but it's the society 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:12.919 we're in, and really could have been resolved by one 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:16.240 or two people just simply reading what was right in 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:19.280 front of them instead of reading what they think they 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:22.320 saw because they're upset in the moment and they need 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:24.599 somebody to attack. And if you want to see the 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:28.240 tweet yourself, it's still up there because it's nothing's wrong 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:32.800 with it. It was tweeted yesterday ten forty eight pm, 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:35.440 or no, excuse me on Sunday at ten forty eight pm. 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:38.919 It's that it's got Dak Prescott looking down at a tablet. 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:41.720 That's the photo that's on the article. It's actually a 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:44.560 good article. I really liked it. Thank you, Yeah, because 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:47.640 I actually read it because because hey, this is this 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.360 is a social media lesson for everybody. How about you 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:53.320 click the article and then you read the article before 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:56.480 you retweet, and you start providing opinions on the article. 0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:01.320 And here's what makes it even more more sad is 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:04.320 that even if you are a headline replier, which that's 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.840 just bad. Don't be a headline remplier. That that's just 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:09.040 one of the worst types of human beings. But even 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:13.479 if you what about a Jeff a replier, somebody that 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:15.920 just replies in Jeff's you think that's a good thing. 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.760 I think it's awesome. I think that Dunny, that's all 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:22.520 I said, does on Twitter. That's he's defending it. But yeah, 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:24.479 even if you had just read that headline, then you 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:26.760 notice it says dak or lost to forty nine ers. 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:29.720 I mean, Dak is taking his accountability. So what everyone 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:35.360 should be doing, UM, while the collective of Cowboys Nation 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:38.680 is grieving it and trying to move forward into the 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:40.680 off season to see what needs to happen in twenty 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:42.520 twenty three, to see what will or will not happen 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:46.360 four twenty twenty three, UM, give a salute to Dak 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:48.680 Prescott out and stand that he made those mistakes. And 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:50.880 we pointed out those mistakes, and we'll continue to point 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:53.360 out those mistakes, and he's pointed out those mistakes himself. 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:56.000 But for him to be able to stand forward, stand 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:58.480 up and say, hey, you know what, that's on me again, 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:00.800 that's honorable, that's noble, and that's a leader, and that's 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:03.160 what you want leading the locker room going forward. So 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:06.240 now it's just a matter of fixing the issues. And 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:09.640 he's already getting to work on that. So you know, 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:15.520 bottom line, read the article or shut up? There's the 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.560 line there. You go? Ye? How about that? All right, 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:22.960 let's and maybe don't start fights courts up. Yeah, that's 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:26.560 probably a good one too. Let's talk about some of 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:33.400 the next day observations. I'm sure everybody here's just gone 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:36.040 back and watched the film. Everybody here has gone back 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:39.480 and maybe gotten some ounce of sleep, of thinking about 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:43.040 what's going on and what went on with the cowboys. 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:45.480 But Isaiah, now that you've had a little bit to 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:49.000 stir on, and what's still the number one takeaway for 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:51.440 you in the loss to the forty nine ers? You 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:54.520 give them exture opportunities. Yeah, I mean that's really what 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:57.280 it comes down to. I mean, you we I don't 0:07:57.400 --> 0:07:59.320 want to be the Dead Hordes. But we talked about 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:03.440 yesterday how you shut down Bossa, you shut down four 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:06.600 of their top five weapons and you still find a 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:10.160 way to lose the game. That's just something that you 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:13.400 just can't do. It's not foreseen. That's not if anybody 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:15.280 would put that on paper and say, you're gonna shut down, 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.280 shut down the number one second leader in the in 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:19.000 the league, and you're gonna shut down four the top 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:22.680 five weapons for San Francisco, that's a dub. That's a dub, 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:25.080 and it wasn't And you have to go back and 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:27.600 analyze why he wasn't a dub. I think we all 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.160 know that everybody. You can always sit back and say 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.720 everybody could have played better. Every everything nobody grades out 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:35.960 at one hundred percent unless you're a kicker. Um, that 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:39.920 wasn't the case either. But you know, dec Ridian man, 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:41.840 they we're not gonna keep beating deck into the ground. 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:43.520 There's things that he has to improve on, and I 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.520 think there seems that he can do to put his 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:49.600 teams in better situations, and the organization will do what 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:52.920 they can to put this organization and this team in 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:55.960 the future and a better predicament to win the ballgame, 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:59.679 and that's you lose. You you learn more and losses 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.040 than you then you learn in wins. And I just 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:06.400 my hope is that dak this offense and its totality, 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:09.440 this defense. You know, there's things that they can learn 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:11.960 from this year as well. Obviously, Um, they didn't turn 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:13.320 a ball over the way in which they wanted to 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:14.720 turn a ball over. They didn't do it like they 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:16.920 did last year. I think they are more effective at 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:19.840 certain areas. They're going to improve upon their rush defense. Right. 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:24.000 There's everybody has work to do to contribute to potential 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:26.880 wins in the future. And now this is a time 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.600 when everybody goes back to the lab and you identify 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:32.200 your issues, You identify the points in the in areas 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:34.120 that you can that you need to address, and then 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:36.840 you address them. It's definitely back to the drawing board 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:40.520 for the Cowboys. Um. I mean there's a lot of 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:45.360 opportunity for improvement to be taken away. Like Iris is saying, um, 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:51.240 and in that same breath, thankfully, it's not about rebuilding 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:57.400 or blowing everything up. Um. You have one of the 0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:00.880 better draft classes that you've acquired in recent history, in 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:03.080 the twenty twenty two draft class from Tyler Smith to 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:06.280 Sam Williams. You know, obviously question Mark still on Jalen Tibert. 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:10.080 But go down there, mister Deron bland Um, Damon Clark. 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:12.480 I mean, you know, Payton Hindershot as an undrafted guy, 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:14.400 Jake Ferguson as a fourth round I mean the list 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:16.600 goes on and non, so tons of promise when you 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:19.679 add that up against you know, uh, you know, acquiring 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:22.480 Michael Parsons in the first round and you know, previous 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:26.120 to that, CD Lamb. So your draft formula is magnificent. 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:29.040 Is it perfect? No, it's not perfect. They're thirty two 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.720 teams in the league, and no draft strategy is perfect. 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.320 Every team has an album charcer or two around their neck. 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:36.560 We're like, oh, we shouldn't have done that. But when 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:39.679 you have the hit rate that the Cowboys have draft wise, 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:43.320 that that remains something to be excited about. So they're 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:46.000 building the right way. As far as how they're building 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:50.199 through the draft, You've seen them now really get out 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:52.320 there in free agency, maybe not as much as a 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:54.079 lot of people would like to believe, but we talk 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:59.640 about the addition of Jason Peters, Anthony Barr, give me 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:03.000 another t Y Hilton. Um, the list goes on and 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:05.480 on it then previous to this year, jay Ron Curse, 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:08.440 Malie Cooker. I mean they're making moves and free agency 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:11.040 that are putting pieces Jonathan Hankins, the acquisition that the 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:13.240 trade acquisition this year, That's what I was looking for. 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:17.640 So they they're addressing positions of need and they're throwing 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:21.920 talent at it be at the draft and by way 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:27.040 of free agency. So that's promising. But um was doing 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:29.360 in the off season to tweak I wish they would 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:31.560 do all that work in the off season. Well that's 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:33.480 my thing. What do you feel there they're missing in 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:36.840 off season free agencies? What you're yeah, yeah, of course 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.160 the draft always happens. I think you can look at 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:41.080 it both ways because I see what you're saying, and 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:44.240 you're not wrong. Um. But I've always been of the 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:48.680 concept of free agents. The free agency pool as a 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:52.240 whole for me also includes free agents that wore a 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:56.640 Cowboys helmet the year preseason. I agree with you, So like, 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.440 retain your guys, guys that you know and that have 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:01.120 been in the bill. Then you know their work ethic, 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.439 you know what they're about. If they're able to keep 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:07.719 Tony Pollard, for example this offseason, That for me is 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:11.839 a huge free agency acquisition. Yeah. Now, most wouldn't view 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:14.000 it that way because they'd say, oh, well, you know, 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:16.760 we were talking about getting someone out from outside the building. 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:19.320 Well you're not wrong in thinking that way, But I 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:21.760 think it needs to add to you know, who are 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.240 if you keep Donovan Wilson, that's a huge free agency 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:26.680 get right, Cowboys have a laundry list of free agents 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:29.440 in house that they need to try to keep. Here, 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:33.040 Layton vanderesh right, these are players that other teams are 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.320 going to be actively going for. You're going to be 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:37.559 bidding against other teams for these types of talent. The 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:40.120 names that I just mentioned, and in several more so, 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:42.800 if you can retain them, that means you won those battles. 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:47.679 That means you did acquire big free agency names, even 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:49.880 if by retaining them is what I'm saying. Who's the 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:52.120 number one name right now? Who's the number one free 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:56.520 agent Dallas Cowboys player? Right now? It have to be 0:12:56.559 --> 0:13:01.120 Tony Pollard, right right, It's probably Tony. This is a 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:04.480 list put out by Oh thanks Beamer. This is a 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:07.280 list put out by Greg Rosenthal just a couple of 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:10.280 weeks ago. This is prior to the playoffs, and Tony 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:13.600 Pollo towards ranked number twenty on that list of NFL 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:16.720 free agents. Entering into twenty twenty two, he's probably higher 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:19.760 on that list now. The injury might be something that 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:23.360 keeps him out of the top ten. But there's three 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:26.679 Philadelphia Eagles in the top eight of that list. Because 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:28.680 guess what, they go out and they work free agency, 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:31.360 they go and resign some of these guys. I want 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:33.760 to go get some of that talent. I want to 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:36.040 go get some talent out there that you can supplement 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:39.959 with the draft, and then from the draft, whatever you 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:42.000 don't supplement, then you can pick it up in the 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:45.400 middle of the season, like t Y Hilton's and the 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:48.440 Jonathan Hankins. Do you believe that the Eagles aggressiveness in 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:52.679 this offseason contributed to their position at their end right now? Absolutely? 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:55.640 I think it looked they looked at their quarterback and 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:58.200 they said, Wow, Jalen Hurts is a good quarterback. Did 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:00.319 they say he's an elite quarterback? Go do it all 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:02.960 on your own. No, they didn't say that. I think 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:05.560 that's what you have to do. With Dak Prescott right now, 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:07.480 I think coming into this year with Jalen Hursts, I 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:09.320 think they said, we're gonna put so much talent around 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:11.040 you that you can't mess it if you mess it up, 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:14.800 like you know that you're the problem, You're the issue, Yeah, 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:18.000 which is what happened. He hasn't messed it up yet. 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:19.280 You know what I would love to see as we 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:22.480 sit here and talk about free agents, just kind of 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:25.520 from the aspect of an in house guy. Yes, you 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:27.920 want to see what Jalen Tilbord has And I honestly 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:31.240 would still double back at wide receiver in the draft, 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:34.880 and that's a conversation to come, but man, it would 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:39.080 be exciting to consider what an entire offseason in training camp, 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.480 you know, would do for t Y Hilton's chemistry with 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:45.320 Dak Prescott. There's something there and I feel like it 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:49.640 just didn't get explored enough, especially we talked about one target, 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:52.800 one catch, fifteen yards and you know, the biggest game 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:55.120 of the season in San Francisco. But I feel like 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:57.280 there is something there. So I think t Y Hilton 0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:00.920 will be a wonderful bridge player in that position, even 0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:03.600 if you double back in the draft and hoping that 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:05.600 Jalen Tilber takes that next step. I think t Y 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:08.480 Hilton could be the cool hand loop opposite Ceedee Lamb 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:12.360 in that equation. And I'm also looking forward to hopefully 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:14.880 Michael Gallup getting back to being MG thirteen, the pre 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:17.200 injury version. Do you think he could be better next year? 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.200 Who Michael Gallup? Yes? Do you think he can take 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:25.160 a bigger leap back into what he was prior to 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:27.720 the injury just with an off season full of healthy Yes, 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:31.960 he'd be that far, that much more removed time wise 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:35.120 from the injury itself. And you're working on I'm not 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:38.080 just gonna sound bad. He's working on the areas of 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:41.720 his game that he needs to improve upon, like in 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:43.680 particularly right, you know what I'm saying, Like the fine 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:46.320 focus on improving on those areas versus working on trying 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:49.560 to get healthy. It's two separate entities. And I think 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:52.360 that he was working on trying to become healthy this 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:55.440 all season right so that he can be available, versus 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:58.680 he wasn't working on the areas that that now are 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:00.880 highlighting that he needs to address, which is getting out 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:04.000 of his brakes right, the muscular endurance, right, all those 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:05.760 type of things. Those are things he needs to prove upon. 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:08.360 Now that he is healthy, he could focus on those 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:11.400 because now he's not worried about his injury. Yeah. I also, 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:14.120 I mean going back to the Dak conversation, I was 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:16.800 looking it up a minute ago, but you look at 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:20.680 Jalen Hurts in that situation, specifically in Philadelphia being in 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:23.680 the NFC title game. He's also on a rookie contract, 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:26.040 so they have some money elsewhere to go and spend, 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:28.920 because if they were, I think he's got like a 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:32.440 one point seven million dollars a cap hit this year. 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:34.400 Next year it's gonna be four point seven, which is 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:39.160 still nothing versus what is forty nine? Well forty nine. Yeah, 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:43.000 but you talk about what Jalen Hurts market value is 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:46.760 right now, resolve that he hurts market value of what 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.720 he would be if you resigned him right now forty four. Yeah, 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:53.280 So he's that changes your roster? Yeah, I agree, I agree, 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:55.840 totally agree, And so there but a little bit of space. 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:58.280 But with the space that they did have, they stress 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:01.760 what I'm saying. I'm tell abo, Yeah, Phil and again 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:05.000 we're gonna talk about this stuff all season. I don't 0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:08.000 think this roster was the problem. I don't think the 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:09.480 roster was a problem. I don't think the roster was 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:10.879 a problem last year. I don't think the roster was 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:14.280 a problem this year. It was the execution. It was execution. 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:17.160 Doesn't the execution fall back on the roster. I think 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:20.399 that Dak Prescott is capable in his current state. I 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:22.240 think he's very capable of putting his team in a 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:25.199 winning position. I think I don't think that he did. Okay, now, 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:26.960 the other people who played a role in that, but 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:30.800 in terms of somebody who was in has a huge 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:35.000 who has an ability to drastically change the dynamic in 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:37.000 the outcome of the game, who gets the ball in 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:39.639 his hand every play. He did not do what he 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:42.200 wanted to do or what he was even capable of doing, 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:44.600 and that was a problem for him the whole second 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:46.000 half of the year. I mean the whole year really, 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:47.879 but especially the second half of the year. Right, you 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:50.320 talk about the seventeen interceptions over fourteen games, like, that's 0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:54.760 not playing winning football. He's capable of reading coverages, He's 0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:56.959 capable of making the right decision. Those are the things 0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:59.640 that got him in problem. In a situation it wasn't 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:03.479 the the lack of velocity, It wasn't always the ball location. 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:06.000 But those are things that he can approve upon still too, right, 0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:08.560 So it's not a lack of It's not as like 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:12.280 he can't attain these characteristics, he can't attain this level 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:15.840 of excellence. He just isn't there right now. Yeah, for me, 0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:19.480 it's it's just in the aspect of interceptions. It's and 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:22.800 I mentioned this before, just in a slump. When it 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:24.800 comes to that. He when you're in a slump, be 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:27.600 it as a quarterback, as a picture. You saw Brett 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:30.520 Maher get into that slump out of nowhere. It's hard 0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:32.879 to break out of that slump. For whatever reason. It 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:35.840 could be execution, which is definitely a thing decision making 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:38.480 which goes to execution, and then you have bad luck 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:40.920 because you have the receivers tipping the balls up and 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:43.800 creating an interception. It's just you can't seem to get 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:46.720 out of that vortex. And you've seen that kind of 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:49.800 frustration Dak Prescott's face after some of those interceptions later 0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:51.320 in the season, where he's just sitting there on the 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:53.520 grass like what the hell is going on here? And 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:56.480 it was it reminds me of what Ezekiel Elliott was 0:18:56.520 --> 0:18:59.240 dealing with a couple of seasons or so ago the Pombos, 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:01.160 And he was dealing with the rash of fumble, something 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:03.679 that he for the most part, hadn't been known for, 0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:05.880 and all of a sudden he was putting the ball 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:08.600 on the ground time and time and time again. And 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:11.800 at some point in that season, about the midpoint, he 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:14.240 really started to dial in on it, him and running 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:18.480 backs coach Skip Pete and they got it fixed. Whence 0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:21.399 the last time you remember Ezekiel Elliott fumbling the ball 0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:27.080 either Hie and like the past two seasons. So when 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:29.760 you look at it from that aspect, I'm confident that 0:19:29.920 --> 0:19:32.600 you're addressing. While while the slump did occur and that 0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:34.679 sucked and he just couldn't get out of that vortex, 0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:37.040 well now you have an entire offseason to work out 0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:40.640 coming out of that vortex mentally, and much like Ezekiel 0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:44.080 Elliott was able to finally escape the Bermuda triangle of 0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:47.080 those fumbles, I'm confident Dak Prescott will be able to 0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:49.639 do so because he's This is not Dak Prescott. For 0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:52.000 those that are saying, oh, well, this is I think 0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:55.640 I saw a tweet on the plane ride back from 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:57.920 from Santa Clara or someone was like, well, no, that's 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:00.200 just Dak Prescott roverting back to that Prescott are you 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:05.080 talking about he had gold rookie season. Just historically, historically 0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:07.399 he has not turned the ball over. That's been his 0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:11.159 calling card. So that's proof that this is just completely 0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:13.880 out of the norm. This is an aberration for Dak Prescott, 0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:16.200 and I'm I look forward to him repairing it because 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:18.639 I'm confident that he can't. Yeh, yeah, but this is 0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:21.439 not a personnel issue. You can always improve your personnel. 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:25.800 But this this season's failure. Sure, because any team that 0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:27.760 doesn't win a Super bowls failure. I don't care what 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:32.880 you say, right, agreed, it was not personnel. So everybody's 0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:34.920 pointing finger towards a front office. I think that front 0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:37.199 officer doesn't done an immaculate job. Now, have they done 0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:39.239
