1
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 2: Cowboys.

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: This these Cowboys storylines with Nick Eatman.

5
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 2: What is up? It is? Cowboys storyline Monday after the

6
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: Cowboys lose to Arizona. What was that? Don't know? Still

7
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 2: trying to figure that out. Maybe I get some help

8
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 2: from you guys, because I'm sure you are ready to

9
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 2: chime in on the Cowboys twenty eight sixteen loss to Arizona.

10
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 2: Once again, they go to the desert and weird things happened,

11
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 2: because this was a weird one. It was a weird

12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: game all the way around. But the Cowboys just got

13
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: out played, simple as that. I mean they I think

14
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: everyone kind of thought it was going to go a

15
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: certain way and it didn't. And you can say an

16
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 2: fingerpoint to a lot of different things, but at the

17
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 2: end of the day, they couldn't stop the run, they

18
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: couldn't convert in the red zone, and field goals will

19
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: not win games when you're giving up touchdowns. That's just simple.

20
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 2: That's simple football right there, and that's what happened with

21
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 2: the Cowboys. So I want to hear from you guys.

22
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 2: Eight eight eight eight five five two two nine seven,

23
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: and I'm sure you're ready. We already got some people

24
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: on the line. Let's let's let's play let's play nice

25
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 2: here today. Let's let's remember this. I understand a lot

26
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: of people have some things to say, the more that

27
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: we can kind of get the point. Let's go, let's

28
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: move on to other people. We will try to get

29
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: as many calls as we can. I I I understand

30
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 2: there'll be some some ranting going on, and rightfully so,

31
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 2: but let's try not to go too long. Let's try

32
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: to get as many people on the line as we can.

33
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: So that being said, let's just go right to it.

34
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: Joe and Stanford, Joe, what's up man?

35
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 3: Morning? Rather so, Yeah, it's that pretty much. I've got

36
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 3: irrational irrational, So you're right. Is the last two years,

37
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 3: I've watched three games in bars Jackson Bille at the

38
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 3: end of the season, the playoff game against the forty

39
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 3: nine ers, and then yesterday. Needless to say, I won't

40
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 3: be in the bar anymore watching the cap plays.

41
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm stay at home rational.

42
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt, because it was my fault. That's my irrational,

43
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 3: my irrational. Dude, You're right, I don't know what happened

44
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 3: with this run defense? What in the world it's like?

45
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 3: Was Trayvon Diggs making thirty tackles the game? What in

46
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 3: the world?

47
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 4: Man?

48
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 5: You know, I don't get it.

49
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 2: I mean, as I wrote in my story, I get it.

50
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 2: They're all, you know, the hip bones connected to the

51
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 2: elbow bone, all that stuff. I get it. But and

52
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: and certainly having Trayvon out there helps in other ways,

53
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: but the run defen two hundred and twenty two yards, Now,

54
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: he's not making all those tackles. He's not, I mean,

55
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 2: and they got a lot of misdirection. And I'll say this,

56
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 2: I looked at it just from the press box view.

57
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 2: From what I saw, That's what was kind of my

58
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: initial thought. And then I watched a little bit of

59
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: the game last night, and I think we're seeing the

60
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 2: downside of playing linebackers that are converted safeties. Now I'm

61
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: not saying it's always going to be bad, but when

62
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 2: you put a Marquis Bell at linebacker, or even jay

63
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 2: Ron Kurs or Donovan Wilson, you know, people watch Tate

64
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: and they understand physics, and so go look at the

65
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 2: touchdown by ron Dale Moore. Just go watch that one.

66
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 2: If if you if you could stomach it. It was

67
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: perfectly schemed by Arizona to say, you want to put

68
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: Marquis Bell at linebacker. Watch this and they put the

69
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: guard and they have Marquis Bell and Leyton vander ash

70
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: one side at one side. The guard goes to the

71
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: second level completely knocked Marquis out of the way. Rondale

72
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: Moore touchdown and and he's got Layton chasing him. You

73
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: got Layton chasing the running back or receiver type player,

74
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: and you got Marquis Bell taking on the guard. Perfectly schemed.

75
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: And that's that's what they're gonna do. The circle up

76
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 2: and that when the first time jay Ron Curse on

77
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 2: a touchdown, run same thing as I'm watching NFL Network

78
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: and Rondelle Moore scores a touchdown right there. I mean,

79
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 2: so you can put fast little guys and run around

80
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 2: and that'll help in some ways, but if it gets

81
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: blocked by a guard, you're gonna lose. And so I

82
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 2: think we're seeing kind of the downside of that. I'm

83
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 2: sure dan Quinn will talk about that later today in

84
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: his press conference. All right, let's go to the callers.

85
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: Jason from Delaware, what's up?

86
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 6: Jason Nick, how you doing, man? Good to talk to you.

87
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 2: Good to talk to you.

88
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 6: Hey. So so I was just listening to what you're

89
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 6: saying there about the defense, and as bad as they

90
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 6: were and as out coached as they looked, I got

91
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 6: much more faith in dan Quinn Micah and the boys

92
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 6: figuring that side of the ball out. But what's concerning

93
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 6: me right now? Through three games, game number one, we

94
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 6: didn't have to rely much on offense to do anything.

95
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 6: You could say the same for game number two. Well,

96
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 6: this was a game where you know, DAK had over

97
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 6: come a lot of adversity and as well as McCarthy

98
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 6: was just play calling and everything throughout the game to

99
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 6: make something happen, and it just seemed like they just

100
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 6: had no answers for anything that Arizona was doing, as

101
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 6: if it was the first time they'd ever seen, you know,

102
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 6: teams play them like this. So I'm just worried about

103
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 6: McCarthy's played calling, game management. I thought we should have

104
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 6: kicked the field goal when it was twenty one thirteen

105
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 6: to make it twenty one sixteen, because you got a

106
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 6: lot of game left and now a TV would have

107
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 6: put you up. And then Dak's sport, you know, interception

108
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 6: in the end zone there. I mean, if you look,

109
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 6: there's a picture floating around Twitter. He's got the clean pocket.

110
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 6: You know, there's no rush. He had plenty of time.

111
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 6: There's a fourth down left too, so you could live

112
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 6: to play that one more down and he just throws

113
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:41,799
Speaker 6: into triple covers.

114
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 7: Man.

115
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:42,799
Speaker 8: So I'm worried about.

116
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 6: You know, the play calling. McCarthy's game is written Dak's

117
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 6: decision making.

118
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: Yep, thanks for the call, Jason. You know, I you're

119
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 2: not wrong as it any of that. The the red

120
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 2: zone issues, you know, the first game, you know, last week,

121
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 2: it was like, all right, well they were really to

122
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: score a lot there being vanilla down there. Cool. Not

123
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 2: this time. And I thought the play calling, I thought

124
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: they moved the ball pretty well. I mean they had

125
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 2: four hundred and something yards for twenty two. I believe

126
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 2: they moved the ball, you know, but when they got

127
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 2: into the red zone that was the issue. And this

128
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 2: is not a new thing, Like the offensive line just

129
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 2: doesn't have that push. And I say it all the time,

130
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: and Derek Eagleton sits next to me in the press

131
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: box and he knows every time it's first and goal

132
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 2: at the ten, or first and goal at the nine.

133
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 2: It is trouble. It's trouble when you can't just run

134
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 2: the football and push them back, go back. In the

135
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 2: fourth quarter, third and fourth quarter, sorry, they had first

136
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 2: and first down or first and goal from the eleven,

137
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 2: from the ten, from the nine, from the eleven, and

138
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 2: they ran the ball all four times on first down

139
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 2: and they got two yards, three yards, two yards and

140
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 2: minus two yards. So your average, I don't know what

141
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 2: that average is, is two, maybe one, you know, one

142
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 2: and a half something like that. But it doesn't it

143
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 2: doesn't help you. I mean, you want to get like

144
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 2: to the five, you want to get four or five

145
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: yards there, because you're still now you're already get behind

146
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 2: the chains. And I think that's the problem. I thought

147
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 2: they did a decent job of moving it throughout, but

148
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 2: in the red zone that's where the problem is. And

149
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 2: you know, you can put an asterisk if you want,

150
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: because of the offensive line and and and you know

151
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 2: who was there and who wasn't, But you know it's

152
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 2: still you know, no one cares. You know they should,

153
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 2: but no one cares about about the offensive line and

154
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 2: and and the injuries that you have. But you know,

155
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 2: The good thing is is that that probably won't be

156
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 2: the case moving forward with with the injury situation. All right,

157
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 2: let's go to Travis in San Antonio for the next caller. Travis, Hey,

158
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 2: how are you man?

159
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 9: I'm still pretty good. I mean, I still think the

160
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 9: defense is going to be five coming out of this game.

161
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 9: I think, if I'm being honest, I think I underestimated

162
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 9: not so much missing digs, but missing I think that

163
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 9: I underestimate the team's emotional readiness for this game. I

164
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 9: think that played a factor into it because I saw

165
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 9: cd Len with the number seven I black, and I

166
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 9: just don't know if they were. It's almost like they

167
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 9: didn't put that to bed. And I'm not saying like

168
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 9: forget him whatever, but I think there has to be

169
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 9: a moment of like he's not going to be able

170
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 9: to help us, Like he's not coming back, so like

171
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 9: we have to move on. I don't think that happened

172
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 9: necessarily during the week, which it's understandable. And then I

173
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 9: know we got out coached, but I think part of

174
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 9: that is like we got out coached in the red zone.

175
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 9: I understand there were no rub routes. There was something

176
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 9: easy down there, which I don't think helps, but I

177
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 9: think the coaching staff may have operated from a standpoint

178
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 9: of the first two games. We relied on our defense,

179
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 9: and we kind of played a conservative game plane because

180
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 9: as soon as I saw Tyron was out, I texted

181
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 9: a buddy and said, here comes with a beven more

182
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 9: conservative game plan, because it's just that makes sense. You

183
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 9: just rely on your defense, do the same thing in

184
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 9: the first two weeks, you should be fine. But it

185
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 9: didn't work.

186
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 10: This time.

187
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 9: You got behind, and so I think they may have

188
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 9: to reassess offense and defense going forward. Right, how do

189
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 9: we want to attack this?

190
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you think, yeah, thanks Travis for the call.

191
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 2: You're right, I mean you can. You can play that

192
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 2: way when you're up, but you know, two touchdowns or whatever,

193
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 2: like they were against the Giants and the Jets, and

194
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 2: and of course they were up by a lot more

195
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 2: against the Giants, but you know, you can play a

196
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 2: different style. You know, does this Is this a great

197
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 2: offense for coming back and coming back in the game?

198
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 2: And you know, I think it is because at no

199
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: point do I think that they really had to abandon

200
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 2: what they were trying to do. I mean, they were

201
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 2: down there with five minutes to go down by twelve

202
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 2: and looking like it was going to be first and

203
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 2: goal at the one. I have no answers for that

204
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 2: of why it wasn't. I just there's no there's nothing

205
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 2: about that play that makes me understand why they picked

206
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 2: up the flag. But whatef somebody wants to call about

207
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 2: that and talk about it, we can. I'll get off

208
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 2: that so bucks there. But I just I mean, and

209
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 2: it was just it was the way that the game

210
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 2: was officiated all day. They had to kind of you

211
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 2: have to to factor that in. I mean, you have

212
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 2: to to play that way, you know, when when you're

213
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 2: when you're both sides of the ball. But yeah, I

214
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 2: think I think if you're gonna come back, you know

215
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 2: you're gonna you're gonna play that kind of offense. I

216
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 2: think it's it's not one that's gonna take big shots

217
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 2: down the field. But I still think that they didn't

218
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 2: have to abandon what they were trying to do. But

219
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 2: it's something to look at, you know, moving forward, because

220
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 2: this this team, uh certainly, you know, we we saw

221
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: that they they couldn't just rely on the defense. They

222
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 2: didn't rely on the defense yesterday. They needed to in

223
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 2: a game like that and it didn't work out. Let's

224
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 2: go to the text line. We've got one from Roquel

225
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 2: Raquel in a Wall Creek, California. I love that. But

226
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 2: he knows he should have never thrown that ball to

227
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 2: Cooks and know the linebacker didn't make a great play

228
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 2: because he threw it into triple coverage. I have faith

229
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: will bounce back next week. Yep, he knows that you

230
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 2: shouldn't throw it into triple coverage. It was he was

231
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 2: forcing it. I'm not sure why, but he did. And

232
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 2: that's that's it. That was a huge play in the game.

233
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 2: All right, fourth caller we've got is David in Pinehurst.

234
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 2: David's up?

235
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 5: What is up?

236
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 10: Nick?

237
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 11: Man?

238
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 12: Hey, let's go with the Bill Parcells quote. I'm not

239
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 12: really in the excuse business. No excuses for this one, man,

240
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 12: I mean freaking pew pew pew. Jonathan Gannon's defense. Did

241
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 12: he unlock some code that Dick Fangio did back in

242
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 12: twenty twenty one? Remember that score was thirty to sixteen.

243
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 12: We were riding high and Vick was like, yeah, it's good,

244
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 12: good out. How to beat the Cowboys? You know, last

245
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 12: week I was early to anoint this defense as doomsday.

246
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 12: But I got to pull that back.

247
00:11:59,600 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 13: Man.

248
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 3: We have got to.

249
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 12: Find a way to stop the run. But what's scary

250
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 12: is I see this as a scheme thing. What's creeping

251
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 12: up here defensively? You know, Gannon was able to do

252
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 12: something with misdirection and scheme fits, and we can't get

253
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 12: this red zone offense going.

254
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 5: Uh.

255
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 12: Last, but not least, this is probably the worst quote.

256
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 12: The media got what they wanted. Come on, Dak, you

257
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 12: got to be better than that. If we win against

258
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 12: New England and we take it to San Francisco, this

259
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 12: game is in the books. That's all I got.

260
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 2: Thank you, David. I yeah, I was. I don't know.

261
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 2: But the no excuses, I mean I don't I don't

262
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 2: know what excuses there are. I mean, I don't know

263
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 2: what what what that's in reference here? I was going

264
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 2: to ask him that what what the excuses? I mean,

265
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 2: who's who's throwing out excuses? I don't know. Uh, you know.

266
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 2: Then again, I mean a lot of times a lot

267
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 2: of callers come in and then they hear what they

268
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 2: see on you know, social media and stuff like that,

269
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 2: so you know, like that's the narrative, and I don't

270
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 2: know I mean, I don't know what the excuses are.

271
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 2: I mean, they had a lot of a lot of penalties.

272
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 2: Uh and most of them we were legit, you know,

273
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 2: there was some you know, the way the game was

274
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 2: called was just it was didn't favor the Cowboys. The

275
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 2: way that they play, the way that their style is,

276
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 2: the offensive line. That's a thing. I mean, that's not

277
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 2: an excuse that that's a thing that that is, that's

278
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 2: a problem. You can't play with two guys that have

279
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 2: never you know, started a game before, and then you know,

280
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 2: Cheumny Dogo on the left the left side, which we

281
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 2: can get to here in a second, but that's that's

282
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 2: a that's a legitimate difference in what you're trying to do.

283
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 2: So we can just stop that right now. About anybody

284
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 2: that thinks that that's that's all, you know, there's no excuses,

285
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 2: that's a that's a problem, okay, you that you have

286
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 2: to factor that in. They get down in the red zone,

287
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 2: they didn't move the ball. And if you don't think

288
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 2: it's a problem, then you know what, maybe those guys

289
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 2: don't need to be on the team, you know, I mean,

290
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 2: maybe we just won't put Zach Martin back in or

291
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 2: or or Tyler Biadish. I mean, I mean, listen, remember

292
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 2: what you're saying. I mean, like, there's a reason why

293
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 2: these guys get paid the way they do, and it's

294
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 2: hard to have backups. I tweeted this out. They lost

295
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 2: nineteen Pro Bowlers from Week two to week three. Nineteen

296
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 2: combined Pro Bowls in one week. I mean, that's that

297
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 2: is not an excuse. That's just the reality of football

298
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 2: is when you have quality players that are making a

299
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 2: lot of money, the backups is a huge drop off.

300
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 2: And it is a big drop off when you lose

301
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 2: three OFFENSI lineman in one week. Okay, should they have

302
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 2: lost the game because of that? I still think they

303
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 2: could have won the game, and I think that they

304
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 2: should have won the game. The defense didn't rally like

305
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 2: we wanted them to. But let's not sit here and

306
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 2: say that it's not a factor, or it's not whatever

307
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 2: you can call it, excuse whatever. It's a factor. But

308
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 2: they didn't overcome it. And that's what you have to

309
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 2: do in this NFL. Overcome it that that quote. Listen

310
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 2: to the entire press conference. If you can listen to

311
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 2: the entire press conference, listen to the question don't just

312
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 2: listen to the answer they get put out on Twitter.

313
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 2: Listen to the question. The question was you guys were

314
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 2: on top of the world. What happened? And Dad said,

315
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 2: y'all put us on top of the world. We didn't

316
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 2: do that. We know where we are, and you know

317
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 2: whatever he said about the media wants this, just listen

318
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 2: to the whole thing. I mean, don't. I wouldn't just

319
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 2: take one quote and say you got to be better

320
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 2: than that. The question could have been better as well.

321
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 2: All right, a couple of let's go to the phone

322
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 2: call here Steven on New York. Steve, what's up my

323
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 2: quick lance?

324
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 13: I know everyone you know getting on DAC with the

325
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 13: throw and the red zone, with the lineman out, I

326
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 13: get it. But bottom line, the Cowboys got run over. Okay,

327
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 13: James Connor, Joshua Dobbs, and Rondel Moore ran us sober

328
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 13: period and listen, you can make excuses this guy's out,

329
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 13: but the Cowboys ran for one hundred and what eighty

330
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 13: yards plus and he only got sacked twice. This wasn't

331
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 13: a chance green game, right, I mean it wasn't.

332
00:15:59,120 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 2: You know.

333
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 12: I thought the.

334
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 13: Offensive line, all things considered, they weren't terrible.

335
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 14: They really weren't.

336
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 2: They weren't terrible. They just didn't They didn't weren't as

337
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 2: good as you needed to be in the red zone.

338
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 2: But you're right, they they kind of they hung in there.

339
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 13: They did, and it just real quick. I wanted your

340
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 13: opinion a call we hit on it earlier. What was

341
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 13: your take on going forward on board that. I thought

342
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 13: that was a horrible decision.

343
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 2: Didn't like it? You didn't like it, Thanks Steve for

344
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 2: the call I got. I didn't like it, and I

345
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 2: Derek and I were kind of talking about it. You

346
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 2: know again, I'm referencing that and the press part. We

347
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 2: didn't like it, like when they're under center, like I

348
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 2: like this, I like this, and then after the incomplete pass.

349
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 2: It was funny how a lot of people are like

350
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 2: that was terrible. You know, I'm throwing out analytics and

351
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 2: all that, but no, I didn't like it because the

352
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 2: momentum of the game was continued. I mean, just keep scoring,

353
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 2: just keep scoring, and you know, think about how different

354
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 2: it is if it's you got three more points, if

355
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 2: it's twenty eight to nineteen and you're driving there late,

356
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: you don't have to be as aggressive trying to throw

357
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 2: into triple coverage. You just kicked the field goal, make

358
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 2: it twenty eight, twenty two, and then you kick off.

359
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 2: So the three points would have been really important, I think.

360
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 2: And you know, if you would have stopped them back

361
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 2: there and then they punted, that's one thing. But you didn't.

362
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 2: You didn't. They got a deep ball from their own

363
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 2: end zone and through through it out, so you know, yeah,

364
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 2: in hindsight there it didn't look good. But I didn't

365
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 2: like it at the time either. I thought you just

366
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 2: kind of keep keep going, keep getting field goals there

367
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 2: because they weren't proving that they could score there in

368
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 2: the red zone.

369
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 10: All right.

370
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 2: Then go to another text question text message, why put

371
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 2: Idoga at left tackle? This is Steven Vermont. Why put

372
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 2: Adoga at left tackle? He was so much better at

373
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 2: gar I can't understand why you put him in that position.

374
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 2: I'm not excusing the way you play. He was put

375
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 2: in that position by the coaches, he says. Notre Dame

376
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 2: loses them last play with an awful sports weekend. Yeah,

377
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 2: I'm with you on that one awful sports weekend for sure.

378
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 2: The only thing I could think of of why he

379
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 2: was at left tackle? Is just because Tyler Smith had

380
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 2: been I mean, coming on, you could say, okay, Awesome

381
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 2: Richards or him. I think that they just felt like

382
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 2: he was better than Awesome Bridge Richards. Why not Tyler

383
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 2: Smith out there? Tyler Smith coming off a hamstring injury.

384
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 2: I no one had told me this. I just feel

385
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 2: like if he's coming off a hamstring injury, it's a

386
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 2: little tougher to play left tackle then it would be

387
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 2: left guard as far as the mobility that you need there.

388
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 2: So I feel like that's where they wanted to put

389
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 2: him back there. But if you're going to play a

390
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 2: doge at tackle, in my opinion, he's got to be

391
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 2: at right you know, he's got to be on the

392
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 2: right side. He's got to be at right tackle, not

393
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 2: left tackle. And that's not good for Terrence Steel. But

394
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 2: he's got to be on the right side where Dak

395
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 2: can see that. You've got to see that. I mean,

396
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 2: Rumlin used to say it all the time. I'm about

397
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 2: to his right tackle, don't hold I can I'll get

398
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 2: you know, I can make this guy miss. But Dak's

399
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 2: got to be able to see that. I don't think

400
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 2: he's he's the left tackle. I think he's a guard.

401
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,719
Speaker 2: I think they got to figure that out. But you know,

402
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 2: he he he fought through it. I mean he had

403
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 2: some he had some some plays that weren't so great,

404
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 2: but you know, he kept he kept battling. There. Let's

405
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 2: go to the called David in Pennsylvania. Hey are you

406
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 2: good man?

407
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 4: How are you frustrated? I think, like most Cowboy fans right.

408
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, I feel you. Man, what's the most frustrating part?

409
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 4: I'd say, honestly, it was not playing complimentary football. Now

410
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 4: we lose three offensive linemen going to this game. We

411
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 4: knew he had no Tyrant's not gonna play, and the

412
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 4: defense just comes out completely flat from the start. I mean,

413
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna put blame on Michah Micah's Micah, but

414
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 4: watching him still, it seemed that nobody wanted to contain

415
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 4: the outside. You know, you see Dante Faller just coming

416
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 4: up off the edge. Nobody was trying to.

417
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 7: Hold it in.

418
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 4: Micah was just kind of flying around, just looked like

419
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 4: a wild child in a sense. But and there wasn't

420
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 4: anything that our defense could do in that first half

421
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 4: to stop him for some reason. But you look at

422
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 4: the opposit side of the ball, I mean, I'm sorry,

423
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 4: but see, you've got to go for that ball in

424
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 4: the end zone. You can't try to play for the

425
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 4: penalty there. Like des Brian would have gone up and

426
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 4: caught that ball, he would have gone through that person.

427
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 4: He's not dead, but he's got to have a little

428
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 4: fire like on.

429
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 2: I think I agree, Yeah, David, I appreciate a good

430
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 2: call too, because yeah, these you know, Micah Parsons is Micah,

431
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 2: But there is there's a flip side to everything. The

432
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 2: guy quoted parcels earlier. Here's another par Sales quote. There's

433
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 2: two sides to that pancake, and there's always good. That's

434
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 2: the way it is when you want to be an

435
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 2: aggressive defense that you want to just live off sacks.

436
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 2: Let's get to the quarterback rush rush rush, Well, they

437
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 2: can play against that as well. And that's you know,

438
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 2: that first first play of the game or the first run.

439
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 2: I was at Dobbs on the outside. I mean, it's

440
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 2: it's Micah's mentality to go get the go get the

441
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 2: quarterback all the time, or go get the ball, and

442
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 2: sometimes you can you can use their aggressiveness against them,

443
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 2: and I think that that happens at times. And then

444
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 2: there's I'm not saying that you can fault them for that,

445
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 2: but but you have to also be at the same time,

446
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 2: you have to be contained. It's controlled chaos. You can't

447
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 2: just fly to the football all the time because that's

448
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 2: going to, you know, get you exposed. And I think

449
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 2: that's what happened. Arizona did a nice job of playing

450
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,479
Speaker 2: against that. Right now. You got to give their coaching

451
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 2: staff and their players credit for the way that they said,

452
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 2: all right, two games on film, we've seen the way

453
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 2: Dallas wants to play. The best way for us to

454
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 2: combat that is to play it like this, and it

455
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 2: did work. It worked for them. Let's go to another

456
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 2: text message, John from New York. It seemed to me

457
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 2: the whole entire scheme of the offense is designed for

458
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 2: Deck not to lose the game and avoid interceptions. Hard

459
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 2: to win unless defense is lights out your thoughts defense,

460
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 2: I mean, the defense doesn't have to be lights out

461
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 2: that they weren't close to that. I mean that the

462
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 2: every light was on in that game. I mean, like, so,

463
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 2: I don't know if the defense has to be lights out,

464
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 2: it's just it's the defense has to be has to

465
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 2: be better than that. You know, the offense, you're trying

466
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 2: not to turn the ball over. I mean, that's that's

467
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 2: that's a key thing. You don't want to turn the

468
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 2: football over. You want to play at smart kickfield goals

469
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 2: and all that. But but I think the defense could

470
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 2: have played better than twenty eight points. I mean, they're

471
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 2: averaging five points a game going into that and they

472
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 2: give that up in the first quarter. So you know,

473
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 2: it wasn't complimentary football. Like one of the callers said earlier,

474
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Johnny on the phone line.

475
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 2: Johnny in Ridgeville, South Carolina. Hey there, how are you doing, Hey, Johnny,

476
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 2: are you big?

477
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 11: It's a hard knock wife being all fan and a

478
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 11: Cowboy fanous.

479
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a tough one. It was a tough one.

480
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 6: Yeah.

481
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 11: Yeah, Well, I'll tell you what. I called you a

482
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 11: couple of weeks ago, and I told you I was

483
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 11: afraid the Cowboys was going to start smelling themselves just

484
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 11: a little too much. And I think they walked in

485
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 11: there yesterday thinking how good they smell, and it showed

486
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 11: on the field because it wasn't a matter of cawns.

487
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 11: It was a mentality that they didn't have. It was

488
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 11: a mentality that I can just do this, and the

489
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 11: fits were terrible. I mean, I know, you know, when

490
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 11: I'm coaching my high school kids, I can get them

491
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 11: on the sideline and I can read them the riot act.

492
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 11: He's are grown men, right, And you know at what

493
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 11: point did the coaches say, I can't get him back? Well,

494
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 11: he never did. He never got him back. When you

495
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 11: got him in third and long and they throw a

496
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 11: fake against your best corner when you really need to stop,

497
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 11: you know, things aren't going well that day. I don't

498
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,199
Speaker 11: think that means Dallas. Dallas is a bad team. And

499
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 11: everybody who thinks this is gonna complain about Dak. You

500
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 11: know what, tell the wide receivers to get open. That

501
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 11: that makeshift offensive line gave him time. A lot of

502
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 11: times he couldn't find anybody open.

503
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's truth to that.

504
00:23:59,000 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 15: Get open.

505
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 11: You know they ran the ball efficiently, but guys don't

506
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 11: get open defense, you know, they they've played like a

507
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 11: team that you know, I get it, you lost your

508
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 11: best your best corner, I get that, but you get

509
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 11: you know, this is a profession. You got to you know,

510
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 11: cowboy up and go do your job.

511
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 10: And they didn't do it.

512
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 11: And they got what they they got what they deserve.

513
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 11: Do they learn from it? Probably so. But this is

514
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 11: what Dan Quinn coached this week, and this is what

515
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 11: Mike McCarthy coached this week.

516
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 8: You are what's y'all?

517
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, all right, thanks for the call, Johnny, you

518
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 2: are what you are. It's a lot of parcelssm's going

519
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 2: out this for this game.

520
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 13: Man.

521
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 2: Where to start from that? Yeah, I mean the defense,

522
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 2: I mean they're on Bland replacing on Diggs. You know,

523
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 2: he didn't have his best game for sure, and that's

524
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 2: that's gonna be a challenge moving forward because that that's

525
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 2: the thing. The defense is more concerning to me than

526
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 2: the offense because Diggs isn't coming back. This is it.

527
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 2: This is what you've got. You've got to figure out

528
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 2: how to play like this. And they're going to be

529
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 2: better than Josh Dobbs and James Connor and ron Dale Moore.

530
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 2: It's going to be better than that. I mean, it

531
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 2: just will. And so you've got to figure out how

532
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 2: to combat that on offense. Yeah, it you know, get

533
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 2: open and and be better in the red zone. You know, again,

534
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 2: at least you have something, at least you can say, well,

535
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 2: they're gonna they're they're gonna be they're gonna have better

536
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 2: offensive linemen than that. They're gonna be able to run

537
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 2: the ball better, hopefully down in the red zone. But

538
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 2: but they've got to fix some things too, and I

539
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 2: think you put some on the receivers too. They need

540
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 2: to be more aggressive to go get the football text

541
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 2: message from the two one OHO number. The interference non

542
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 2: call on Gallup wasn't that The same play was called

543
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,880
Speaker 2: on Anthony Brown against the Raiders a year or two ago.

544
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 2: I don't remember that. It's the same call that's called

545
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 2: on every cornerback that doesn't turn his head and puts

546
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 2: his face or his helmet right in a guy's chest

547
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 2: before the ball, and it wasn't a non call. It

548
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 2: was a call. That's the thing that's frustrating to me

549
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 2: about it because you're playing it one way all game.

550
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 2: They're calling it. There's thirteen flags in the game. They

551
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 2: call one on Land. They called it offensive interference on

552
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 2: CD which was a huge play in the game. So

553
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 2: they're calling it this way all game long, and they

554
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 2: called it there. That's the issue that I have is

555
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 2: the guy with the best eyes right there through the

556
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 2: flag and then they get together, maybe they talk to

557
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 2: New York, not sure, and they go out and they

558
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 2: just say it it was a PI, it's throw down,

559
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 2: Like you got to explain that. I'm sorry, you have

560
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 2: to get on there and explain what the thing was.

561
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 2: That was a terrible non call. And you know, again

562
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 2: not throwing out the excuses. It's just be consistent. Just

563
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 2: be consistent in how you're calling the game and and

564
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 2: let the guy. And also if you're not, if you

565
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 2: don't need seven officials, then then don't don't use them.

566
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, if you're not gonna say, hey,

567
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 2: you see the play, you're trained for this, throw it.

568
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 2: And I just didn't understand why that one got picked

569
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 2: up when they've called it that tight all game long. Uh,

570
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 2: So that that one was a little bit, I mean,

571
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 2: that was a lot. I mean, I just that was

572
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 2: shocking to me. I didn't understand that one. So they

573
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 2: should be frustrated with that. All right, let's go, jim,

574
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 2: Jimmy and l Passo. Are you next, Jimmy and al Passo?

575
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:38,439
Speaker 2: What's up?

576
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 16: Jimmy, Hey, Nick, good morning, how you doing.

577
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 2: I'm good you good?

578
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 15: Good?

579
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 16: Love your show man' been following you for the longest time.

580
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 2: Thanks man, I appreciate that.

581
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 16: Yeah, I know everybody's saying that, you know that the

582
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 16: Cowboys are you know, they had a bad they had

583
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 16: a bad game. I get that, but they're still positive

584
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 16: that came out of that. Number one was a scal us.

585
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 16: He had a he had a real.

586
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 8: Good, solid game.

587
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 16: I hope he continues the same RICO very very good

588
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 16: game as well. And if if Turpin would have h

589
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 16: would have run that without a penalty, we would have

590
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 16: probably been in a better situation. But uh, I think

591
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 16: the next thing, burn the tape and on with the next.

592
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I don't you know what. Thanks for the call.

593
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 2: I appreciate that. And I hear that a lot burned

594
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 2: the tape. I don't want to burn it just yet.

595
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 2: I want I want them to see what the Cardinals

596
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 2: did to them. I mean, because they have to fix that.

597
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 2: The Cardinals out schemed them in a lot of ways,

598
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 2: especially with that defense, the way the way the Cardinals

599
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 2: ran the ball at them, and and so they're going

600
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 2: to have to figure out other teams are going to

601
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 2: do that. We we see it all times. Copycat league. Uh,

602
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 2: somebody made the call about Denver a couple of years

603
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 2: ago how they came in and and and did some

604
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 2: things on defense to to really slow down the Cowboys offense,

605
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 2: and it kind of changed throughout the year. So, uh yeah,

606
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 2: that was that was Gallup had a nice game, and

607
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 2: it's kind of what we said last week is that

608
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 2: it goes like that they're going to play CD differently.

609
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 2: Gallup's gonna get a chance to step up, and he did.

610
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 2: So that's good. Rico Daddles showing that that he is

611
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 2: a really good number two running back. He does a

612
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 2: nice job, catch the ball out of the backfield, scored

613
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 2: that touchdown. He runs hard, So you know, I think

614
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 2: I don't know if if they're really missing a whole

615
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 2: lot there, you know, with not having that power back

616
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 2: yet Hunter Luke got the carry, went nine yards, and

617
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 2: they're giving him more and more. Turpin play was big.

618
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 2: It was not included in my five plays article mainly

619
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 2: because they got down there ninety seconds later. I think,

620
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 2: I mean, they were down there, it looked like a

621
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 2: big play and then they went all the way back.

622
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 2: But in a matter of three or four plays, they

623
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 2: were back there even further and had a chance to

624
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 2: go score. So it as much as it looked like

625
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 2: it was a sixty five yard penalty, but they they

626
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 2: were right back in position to do that just few

627
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 2: seconds later without a lot of time taking off, so

628
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 2: didn't affect them as much. Sure it sure seemed like

629
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 2: it did, but they were able to score. Anyways, Let's

630
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 2: go to the phone lines against Sebastian and Savannah Georgia. Sebastian,

631
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 2: good morning.

632
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 5: Good morning, mister Ema. I put a shout out.

633
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 14: To Whale Jazzy and Spem making it work in the

634
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 14: back every single day.

635
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 8: These guys work hard.

636
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 2: Definitely do thanks for saying that.

637
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 14: I really enjoy the fact that we have a lot

638
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 14: of level headed callers today. You know, at the end

639
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 14: of the day, I think this is one of those

640
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 14: situations where a team is better than their records, and

641
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 14: I think they surprised us. I don't know if they

642
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 14: you want to say, you know from verbial cheese that

643
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 14: they like to throw out or filling themselves in the

644
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 14: first two wins, but they came out flat and I

645
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 14: haven't seen that since a lot of times, like when

646
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 14: we faced the Niners that first time around, we were

647
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 14: kind of flat. I was surprised by the fact that

648
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 14: coaching couldn't help out in this game at no level

649
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 14: special teams, defense and offense coordinator. It seemed like they

650
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 14: had no answer.

651
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, like they didn't you.

652
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 14: Know, as a professionals to them to watch this hate

653
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 14: and haven't answered for jock jobs. But you saw this

654
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 14: in the first two weeks watching it. Has an amazing defense.

655
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 14: They blaze watched his defense for three quarters and then

656
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 14: blew it. Sometimes you get hit in.

657
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 5: The mouth and you can't come back from it.

658
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 10: Yep.

659
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 14: Well, then I want to see more from CD. I

660
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,239
Speaker 14: don't like how he got so emotional. You see him

661
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 14: on the bench with his head hanging low. That's what

662
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 14: takes you out of that top five for me. Yeah,

663
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 14: if you have you have to realize that some days

664
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 14: just aren't going to be your day. Pump up everybody

665
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 14: else on that sideline, help your quarterback out. I saw

666
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 14: very little separation. I saw very little effort, it seemed

667
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 14: like at times. And then all I want to see

668
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 14: for the red zone, clean it up, Clean it up

669
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 14: a little bit. It's very jumbled down there. Run the ball,

670
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 14: loosen it up. You don't have to have everybody flying

671
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 14: into the end zone. Because you saw it so many times,

672
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 14: four or five people in the end zone, no one

673
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 14: to go to. Yeah, all right, you got to have

674
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 14: a great.

675
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 2: DA Yeah, thank you, thank you. A lot of stuff there.

676
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 7: You know.

677
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 2: One thing that was a little disappointing is and I

678
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 2: saw this a lot of training camp and I was

679
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 2: really excited about it, and I haven't seen it as much,

680
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 2: is how much they spread out the defenses and they don't.

681
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 2: They don't seem to do that as much. Again, sometimes

682
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 2: I feel like there's an ego that gets put out

683
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 2: when the coaches they want to go big, like let's

684
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 2: go jumbo, let's go three tight ends, two tight ends, whatever,

685
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 2: big on big, and you're not big enough to do it.

686
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 2: That's one thing that just always drives me crazy when

687
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 2: teams want to play big boy football and they don't

688
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 2: have the biggest boys to do it. So when you

689
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 2: get out physical at the line of scrimmage, like why

690
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 2: are you surprised? I mean, like, like, so, don't go

691
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 2: that way. There's a there's a play that they did

692
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 2: an option pitch to CD. They have three receivers on

693
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 2: the right side CD. One of them cooks in gallop.

694
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 2: They're not going to win any like awards for blocking.

695
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 2: I think cooks that have a nice block. On the

696
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 2: touchdown from Dad'll the guy slipped and then he kind

697
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 2: of buried him into the ground. But on this played

698
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 2: down by the goal line, they did pitch out to

699
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 2: to CD, and it's so you put three receivers over there.

700
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 2: The Cardinals have four defenders, so CD has the ball.

701
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 2: So now it's four defenders on two guys, and you're

702
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 2: and you're he's supposed to make all these guys miss

703
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,719
Speaker 2: you on a short field and what do you expect

704
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 2: to happen? I mean, like that doesn't make any any

705
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 2: sense to me, So I mean spread spread it out

706
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 2: a little bit more. Your tight ends don't have to

707
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 2: be guys that are just gonna maul people because that's

708
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 2: not really their game. So that that was a little

709
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 2: bit disappointing to me. It's just that they're so jumbled

710
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 2: in there.

711
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 10: All right.

712
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 2: William in Nebraska is next on the phone line.

713
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 17: Hey, Nick, how are you doing?

714
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 2: I'm good? How are you I'm doing?

715
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 17: Okay, man, I'm up here in Nebraska. I'm sure with

716
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 17: a couple of other uh, you know, all five or

717
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 17: six of us disappointed Cowboys fan.

718
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 8: But it's more than that, I wanted to touch on.

719
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 17: A couple of things. First was like running back usage.

720
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 17: I talked about a little bit in the red zone.

721
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 17: But one of the things I think that we miss

722
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 17: without Zeke around is we don't have that running back

723
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 17: that's going to go and get five yards on you know,

724
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 17: first and ten or first in goal, and so I

725
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 17: don't understand why they're not using lift key or dabble there.

726
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 17: Daddle had a great game, it felt like, and was

727
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 17: making some guys miss and breaking tackles, but then you

728
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 17: see Pollard in there and things go backwards while he

729
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 17: tries to kind of find the hole. And then the

730
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 17: other thing was just defensively. I think Mike is an

731
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 17: outstanding player, but he kind of seemed off yesterday. I mean,

732
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 17: he got that sack I think in the third, but

733
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 17: and he touched on already really early in the game.

734
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 17: He comes off the corner and had a free, you know,

735
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 17: free shot at Dobbs before he takes off, or like

736
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 17: fifty yards and he just let Dobbs go right.

737
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 5: Next to him.

738
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 17: So I'm not sure if if he just didn't come

739
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 17: ready to play or if that was an assignment thing

740
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 17: that was miss there. What have you. But I don't

741
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 17: know that you you know, we need him to be

742
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 17: a game breaking, you know breaker. You know that that

743
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 17: level of superstar on the defense, and when you're just

744
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 17: letting qbs run right by you. You know, it's kind

745
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 17: of hard to do that.

746
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, well thanks for the call. I mean

747
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 2: it's tough to criticize your your best player, I mean

748
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 2: because he he is. I mean, Micah is your best player.

749
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,839
Speaker 2: But you know, we saw it in times last year.

750
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 2: We're seeing it. We saw it yesterday as well. I mean,

751
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 2: teams are going to scheme against him and figure out

752
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 2: what he's trying to do and use it against him.

753
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 2: And that's kind of what it is. I mean, he

754
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 2: is focused on getting the ball in the backfield and

755
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 2: there's going to be times when you can kind of

756
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 2: sneak a guy around him. So that's he's going to

757
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 2: have to do that. Play better with his eyes a

758
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 2: little bit.

759
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 3: Uh.

760
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 2: He's not perfect, and he wasn't perfect yesterday. Uh, but

761
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 2: he is his rushes. I mean, they they also schemed

762
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 2: against him. I mean, he he had a lot of

763
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 2: double teams that he was fighting through and still does

764
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 2: a nice job of doing it. I mean, like he

765
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 2: gets there, like he was closed yesterday. That's not good

766
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,399
Speaker 2: enough all the time. But he was there. I thought

767
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,439
Speaker 2: he played a pretty good game, did get the sack

768
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 2: and all that. But again, you know, teams aren't just

769
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 2: gonna let you just oh, well, he's he's great. We

770
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 2: can't do anything about it because he's Mica. Like they're

771
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 2: gonna say, well, let's let's do this, you know, let's

772
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,320
Speaker 2: see if we can kind of offset it that way,

773
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 2: and they did. All right. Phone line again, Al from Merkle, Texas. Al,

774
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 2: what's up, hey man, what's going on much? How are you? Oh?

775
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 8: I'm good. I played on starting my call today with

776
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 8: the well the sun was shining, but actually it's not

777
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 8: shining him Aria.

778
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 2: Okay, sun didn't come up.

779
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 8: Huh yeah. I just want to make two points. I

780
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 8: think we have the best and the worst fans in

781
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 8: the world, because when we were winning a call that

782
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 8: I could get in right away, I thought, call before

783
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 8: you're still started, and I will finally be able to

784
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 8: get in thirty minutes from now. So we just have

785
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 8: a bunch of complainers, which that's okay. We lost, we

786
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 8: got our butts kicked. Yeah, it's one game.

787
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:11,879
Speaker 10: And like uh.

788
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 8: Dak said, the media is the one that puts them

789
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:18,760
Speaker 8: on top and then puts them on the bottom.

790
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 2: That's that's what the media does. I mean that that's

791
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 2: what you do. You build them up to break them down.

792
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,800
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what That's the way this thing works.

793
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 2: Power of the press, I mean it works.

794
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 8: I want to They want to build you up so

795
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 8: they can tear you down.

796
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 2: That's it's okay.

797
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, but we'll be all right, we'll be okay, we'll

798
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 8: figure it out and we'll be there.

799
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 10: We'll be there.

800
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 8: It's all good. Yeah, but it's training right now. But

801
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 8: the sun's going to shine.

802
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Well, I appreciate it. I'm going to

803
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 2: disagree with you a little bit though. I mean, I'll

804
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 2: say this, I mean, mondays after the game it's been

805
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 2: like this where there's been a lot of calls. It

806
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 2: was like this after forty to nothing and the Giants

807
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 2: it was like this last Monday, it's like this. So

808
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 2: and also if you go back and just listen to

809
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 2: the calls, you guys haven't been that way. You guys have.

810
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, everyone's frustrated and they should be, but

811
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 2: it's not to the point where it's it's that negative.

812
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 2: I mean, we're they're they're you know, they should be

813
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,359
Speaker 2: disappointed after a game like that, But I have been

814
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 2: proud of the way that the calls have gone here

815
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 2: so far. Craig and l Paso, you're next.

816
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 15: Hi, Nick joined the show very much with your history.

817
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 15: I was getting the impression of I remember DeMarcus where

818
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,720
Speaker 15: when they first went against RG three and he would

819
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 15: take that inside fake bite and they would just run

820
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 15: around him. I mean they teamed him run out of

821
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 15: the play, didn't have to block him. Do you think

822
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:40,800
Speaker 15: our defensive guys are so intent on sacks, quarterback pressures

823
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 15: and hits that they just charge up field and then boom,

824
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 15: guys are going the other way. The quarterback doesn't even

825
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 15: have the ball.

826
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 13: Yeah.

827
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 2: You probably can't see me, but I'm nodding my head. Yes,

828
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,919
Speaker 2: that is a thing. Yes, that is a huge thing.

829
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 2: That's what's happening. You've got to play different than that.

830
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 2: You can't worry about leading the NFL in sacks. Sacks

831
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 2: will if you if you just play play your sound defense.

832
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 2: But they're never going to pass the ball if they

833
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 2: just keep having to run. For two hundred and twenty

834
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 2: two yards. So, so, yeah, you have to stop the

835
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 2: run first. That's what is being said on Sunday mornings

836
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 2: before the games. That's what's being said on Saturday, before

837
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 2: college games Friday night, and then the JV games on

838
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 2: Wednesday and Thursday night. That's being said, stop the run.

839
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 2: Craig still there, No, that's what happens.

840
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 15: That's what happening. Uh to uh our guys just charging

841
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 15: up field. It seems like that's what's happening.

842
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree that that's what that's that's what happened

843
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 2: in that game. They got to fix that. It's run

844
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 2: first and then go get the quarterback, and so they

845
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 2: have to They're a little bit backwards there. They got

846
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 2: to get back to. That's just that's just getting back

847
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 2: to the basics. Well, thanks taking Thanks Greg, appreciate it.

848
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,479
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Brian in Kansas City. Brian,

849
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 2: what's up?

850
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:53,720
Speaker 7: Heynck, Good morning morning.

851
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 3: Hey.

852
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 7: You know something that surprised me yesterday? Well, a lot

853
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 7: of things described me yesterday. One of the things that

854
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 7: surprised me was when when they realized Tyrone wasn't gonna go.

855
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 7: I was kind of surprised that they didn't kick Tyler

856
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 7: Smith outside and put a Doga in bass inside. Did

857
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 7: you think what did you think when you saw that

858
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:17,280
Speaker 7: that decision.

859
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,919
Speaker 2: I thought, and I've said this a little bit earlier

860
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 2: in the show, I just think that it had something

861
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 2: to do with Tyler Smith coming back from a hamstring injury.

862
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 2: Probably easier for him to play more on the inside.

863
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 2: That's where he's practiced, and and let's let's you know,

864
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,919
Speaker 2: instead of putting him out there and really exposing him

865
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 2: to having to to, you know, kick out a lot more.

866
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,399
Speaker 2: And that might not be great for a guy coming

867
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,439
Speaker 2: off of a hamstring injury. That's my only my only

868
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 2: take there. I think he Doga is better at guard

869
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 2: than he is a tackle, and I think Tyler Smith

870
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 2: can play pretty much either one the same. So I

871
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 2: was a little surprised. My only thought was just had

872
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 2: to be something with the injury.

873
00:40:56,760 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, it could be. Well, so Mike, question is,

874
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 7: is you know the red zone obviously is a little

875
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 7: bit of a problem. Well, you go ahead.

876
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 2: More than a little. I mean it's where we're at

877
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 2: a stage where it's a lot it's a big problem

878
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 2: right now.

879
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, no question. So you know, maybe just in your

880
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 7: opinion break down where you think the problem lies and

881
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,720
Speaker 7: how much of it and this is just my opinion,

882
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 7: how much of it is. Maybe McCarthy is going to

883
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 7: take a few, you know, a little bit of time

884
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 7: to get back in the flow of being a down

885
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 7: in and out play caller. And I'll hang up and

886
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 7: have a great one man.

887
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 2: Thanks Brian. I think I think we say this all

888
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 2: the time, and Brian brought us it. Says this, I

889
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 2: pointing because he's probably right out here ready to do

890
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 2: the Cowboys break here in a second. He says it

891
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 2: all the time, and I agree with him that coaches

892
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 2: have to know their football team. You have to know

893
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 2: what you have. It's one thing to learn about another team,

894
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 2: but you got to know your own team. And I

895
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 2: still think we'll figure bring that out. You know, there's

896
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 2: preseason games are really irrelevant when when it comes to

897
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 2: these guys. So it's three games in, you still haven't

898
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 2: figured out, you still haven't got consistency on the offensive

899
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 2: line and trying to figure out what they can do,

900
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 2: what they can call. I think he wants to run

901
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:16,839
Speaker 2: the ball, run the ball, try to run it in

902
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 2: in the red zone. That's not working right now. Next week,

903
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 2: if the guys come back in the air at full strength.

904
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 2: Maybe that will work. Maybe you can kind of go

905
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 2: play it that way. You know, I understand running it

906
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 2: on first down, because if you can get four to

907
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 2: five yards, it probably means you're gonna be on four

908
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 2: down territory. So I understand doing that. It's big on

909
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 2: first down. But it didn't work. It didn't work. So

910
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 2: they're gonna have to figure out ways to pass the

911
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 2: ball in the red zone and still be safe. Still,

912
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 2: you know, still make sure that Dak is thrown it

913
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 2: to the right team, you know, I mean, obviously there

914
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 2: was an interception there. I mean, I don't I mean,

915
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 2: it was not a great look, of course, but I'm

916
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 2: not faulting him for that. I mean, it's late in

917
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 2: the game. You're trying to you got to make a play.

918
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 2: You know, you're not getting the past interference calls, you're

919
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 2: not getting that, your receivers really aren't getting open. You

920
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 2: have to go make a play, and so he was

921
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 2: trying to do that. Fred in Virginia, Fred might be

922
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 2: the last caller here. Fred, what's up?

923
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 10: Oh, I'm one of the lottery. Hey. So one of

924
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 10: the things that I appreciate about the coaching staff. Is

925
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 10: they see the big picture, Like, I don't mind that

926
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 10: they messed out that they set out three linemen. To me,

927
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 10: this is like, if it mattered, they would have played.

928
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:36,280
Speaker 10: But it's week three. It kind of matters. Of course,

929
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 10: you only get seventeen. But I like the fact that

930
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 10: when we go into the playoffs, but McCarthy, we generally

931
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 10: go in healthy and this is part of that. You know,

932
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,919
Speaker 10: there was sacrifice for the president in order to game

933
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 10: for the future, and that's kind of what I saw yesterday.

934
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 10: It hoped because Arizona was playing with injured DEPHYSI linemen

935
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 10: that they had enough. They probably did have enough, but

936
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 10: it just didn't execute the way. And the other thing is,

937
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 10: let's be real, this is like week three of the

938
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 10: preseason for the starters because nobody played in the preseason,

939
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 10: so they're still trying to figure out what they got.

940
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 10: Even though they're playing with games that count that first

941
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 10: quarter of the season, they're not, you know, they're still

942
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 10: trying to figure it out. So yeah, I don't have

943
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:25,959
Speaker 10: any qualm. I mean that, of course it sucks they lost.

944
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 10: I don't even have any qualls the approach. It sucks

945
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 10: with the result but it's all part of the formula,

946
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 10: which so far has been I mean, twelve wins and

947
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 10: two seasons has been successful. So I'm riding with mccarfield

948
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 10: and hopefully we'll get it straight.

949
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 2: Well, I appreciate the call. And and that's a you know,

950
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:48,280
Speaker 2: that's an optimistic look. It certainly is just just remember

951
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 2: this though you can't you can't play it like that

952
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 2: all the time. You want to give one and you

953
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 2: want to say, well, we probably could have played, but

954
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 2: you know, we think we can be the Arizona. I

955
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 2: think I think everyone kind of understands now that you

956
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 2: you can get beat. I mean, if you're gonna get

957
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 2: beat by the Cardinals, Josh Jobs and those guys are

958
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 2: gonna get beat on the road, then you can pretty

959
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 2: much get beat by anyone. So know that going in

960
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 2: And so I, yeah, you're right if these guys aren't

961
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 2: healthy to play Center Mountains and you know, next men up,

962
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:18,839
Speaker 2: not man, it's next men up. See if you can

963
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 2: go with win the game and they couldn't. So I

964
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 2: think that you know, you can have that mentality every

965
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 2: once in a while. You can't have it a lot

966
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 2: because you're gonna lose games. I mean simple as that.

967
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,760
Speaker 2: Let's go. Last phone call here is Maurice and Tacoma, Washington.

968
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:33,720
Speaker 9: Hey, what's up, hey buddy?

969
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 2: What's up?

970
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 5: Hey?

971
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 10: Man?

972
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 5: There's a few things. My first one that is, I

973
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 5: think that people need to pay more attention to the

974
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 5: kierries heel of our defense and the way quarterbacks are

975
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:45,879
Speaker 5: getting plenty of yards on us. It's something that's hurt

976
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 5: us pretty bad and might have set the toll for

977
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 5: the game. And this second, people had a lot to

978
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 5: say about our office a line and how that should

979
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 5: have still been able to be successful. But you think

980
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,879
Speaker 5: about it, if the trust wasn't there and that clock

981
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 5: was really ticking on deck, especially in that result. And

982
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 5: then last Varn, you know, if we're not gonna play Varn,

983
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 5: we're gonna suit him up, then why don't we go

984
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 5: get us a bruiser like Fournette and use him as

985
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 5: some of those redsols shortyardist players because we're just wasting

986
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 5: a jersey at that point.

987
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 2: Appreciate it, Nick, all right, appreciate it. Uh, You're right,

988
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 2: quarterback runs is a problem. I mean it's three games now, uh,

989
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 2: and three guys that you know that that are that

990
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 2: are mobile. But these aren't considered the three, you know,

991
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:31,319
Speaker 2: three or four top runners in the league. So yeah,

992
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:33,919
Speaker 2: that's a that's a problem, I mean, and it goes

993
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 2: back to the aggressive style the Cowboys play there, all right,

994
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 2: another thing offensive line? Trust Yeah, I think I think

995
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 2: the the sure I mean what, you're not gonna trust

996
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 2: him the same? Uh? And they didn't give you reason

997
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 2: to really. You know, they they played well from like

998
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 2: twenty to twenty, but you know, inside inside the twenty

999
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 2: it was it was tough, and I think Dak felt

1000
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:01,320
Speaker 2: that as produced it said. He played, I don't remember

1001
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 2: him playing. He might have played on special teams. I

1002
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 2: didn't really see him out there. Yeah, I mean that

1003
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 2: that won't continue to happen. They won't continue to have

1004
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 2: him if he's not going to be a factor there.

1005
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:13,399
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't. I never saw a play where

1006
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:15,479
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, man, do should have been out there?

1007
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:17,359
Speaker 2: So right now it's kind of hard to find a

1008
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 2: role for him. I think Rico is doing a really

1009
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 2: good job. Hunter Lipke's doing a nice job as well.

1010
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 2: It's hard to get a fourth running back in there,

1011
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 2: so I think it's gonna it's gonna be tough. I

1012
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 2: think to get him some snaps. But you know, they

1013
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,720
Speaker 2: they figured out some ways to do it in the past.

1014
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 2: Maybe they will in this game as well or in

1015
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 2: the next few games coming up. Great job, fifteen calls,

1016
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 2: that's a lot. You guys were really good. You know,

1017
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 2: it's tough. It's a tough monday. I understand that. But uh,

1018
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 2: you know, I think I think the vision of moving

1019
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 2: forward here, it's gonna be fun. Like like we've said

1020
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 2: last week, let's let's not look at the teams down

1021
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 2: the road. Let's look at why, you know, right in

1022
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:59,840
Speaker 2: front of this team, because anybody can beat him, and

1023
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,359
Speaker 2: I think we found that out. And so it's gonna

1024
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:03,840
Speaker 2: be it's gonna be a fun season. It's gonna be

1025
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 2: a long season though, uh, and it'll be It'll be

1026
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:08,839
Speaker 2: great to keep talking about it. We'll be back tomorrow

1027
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,359
Speaker 2: on Cowboys Storyline. Make sure and stay with us right
