Speaker 1: you left wherever you live? No, but only because I

16
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: live right down the street. It was freezing when I

17
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: walked from the parking garage to hear this morning. There

18
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: it is. We don't have tay to keep you in

19
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: line today. I'm gonna do that. That's your job. Yeah,

20
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: all right, let's talk some Cowboys. It is the eve

21
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: of Thursday night football. The moment is almost here. Color rush.

22
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: Can the Cowboys end this crazy three game slide there on?

23
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about that over the next hour. Any

24
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: thoughts there off the top? Anybody feeling better about it

25
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: than you did after Thanksgiving? I'll tell you this, after

26
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: I saw what Washington's wearing tomorrow night. They should never

27
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: win a football game? Is that right? I haven't seen it.

28
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: What is it? It's yellow yellow, mustard yellow with the

29
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: burgundy numbers, burgundy helmets doing I mean, yes, that doesn't

30
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: sound very good. That's a new look for them. The

31
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: rumors they're trying to get out of it, well they've

32
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: been out of it. Yeah, you're right. Can't they petition

33
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: the league that we are not wearing this? I think

34
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: Bruce Allen called the uniforms garish? So what what the players? However,

35
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: you pronounced the players saw it and we're like, yeah, no,

36
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: the unit the administration didn't like the color, so get

37
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: ready for it, all right? The Cowboys is kind of normal.

38
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: It's just white with wood pants the one they've been wearing, right,

39
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: blue stars on the numbers. Yeah, it's nothing. I thought

40
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: it was gonna be all white. It's a clean look though. Yeah, yeah,

41
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: but yeah, get ready for that yellow. Everything that happens

42
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: is going to look like a flag gut thrown or something.

43
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: Won't be any difficulty deciphering the teams. No, kind of

44
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: like Thanksgiving where you had two shades of blue. To

45
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: answer your question. Yeah, sorry, I feel a little. I

46
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: feel better over the course of this week just looking,

47
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: you know, you see the amount of guys missing for Washington,

48
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: it's a lot like this first game they played. Seems

49
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: like half their team is out and the ones that

50
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: will play are hurt. You know, Trent might come back,

51
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: but he's not at one hundred percent. It doesn't look

52
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: like Jordan Reid's gonna play. Ari Quanjo's playing left guard

53
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: for them. They're probably gonna be They're on their second

54
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: or third center. They got a lot of issues. Having

55
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: said all that, you know, Anthony Hitchins looks like he's

56
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: gonna play. Their hopeful le Collins is gonna play despite

57
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: not practicing. Having said all that, that deficit of seventy

58
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: points over the last three games is just kind of

59
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: hard for me to overcome in my mind, you know,

60
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I thought that they were gonna thought they

61
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 1: were gonna have their backs against the wall and play

62
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: well on Thanksgiving, and they did the opposite. So little, little,

63
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,119
Speaker 1: little more optimistic than I was over the weekend, but

64
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: still not really sure what to expect. Eight. These are

65
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: two imperfect teams right now, both banged up, as Dave said,

66
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: and both have had losses this season, both five and six.

67
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: But both all of you guys have been to more

68
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: practices around these guys more than a half. What I

69
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: would like to know, what's the fit in of this team?

70
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: Where are they at? Mentally? They just talking, just talking

71
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: to the guys during the week. I mean, give me

72
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: some feed on that I can. I can about to

73
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: tell you, Oh my ass out of that. What's been happening?

74
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: Like the pulse of the locker room? Yeah, what's been happening?

75
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: I mean I don't see a really down group during

76
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: the week. Now we're only in there for forty five minutes, Dave.

77
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't get the feeling that they've lost

78
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: all hope. No, I don't get that. But I think

79
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: there's frustration there though, especially and you know, somebody, we

80
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: just did a mail bag where somebody asked and was like,

81
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: you know, what's what's the deal? Why aren't these losses

82
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: even competitive? And I don't have a great answer, and

83
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: I'm not sure they do either, And I'm sure that's

84
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: really frustrating. I think frustrations. Okay, yeah, they don't seem

85
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: like they're down and out. Dude, would you guys there

86
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: for the beginning of practice yesterday, I can't remember. I

87
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: came in a couple minutes late late, but anyway, when

88
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: they broke after they did their stretch and everything, I

89
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: thought there was a little bit more bouncing their step

90
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: that you know, they were kind of lively and short

91
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: of playing it's the song gets Friday because it wasn't Friday,

92
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: although it was Friday in their schedule. I thought they

93
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: were moving around and I was kind of keeping an

94
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: eye on just what Rob said, and I thought their

95
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: nature was pretty good. Yeah, and see that that's that's

96
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: the only thing that matters if they if they're feeling

97
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: good about this situation, and their body language dictates that. Uh,

98
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: because you you you you're facing two teams where uh,

99
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: they don't have no true identity. Uh, they're going out

100
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: playing the cheffling players. Whether it's injury or whether it's

101
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: the competition thing you chef you cheffling players, so you

102
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: don't know what you're gonna get. But as long as

103
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys come out and play hard, play smart,

104
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: they should be all right. They they're at home on

105
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: Thursday night, the fans that are there should be in

106
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: our favor and just go out and play. Run the

107
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: ball twenty five thirty thirty five times, make a few

108
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 1: jessament is not doing the game. I'm talking. Let's see

109
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 1: some of jestaments as the game go along. You know,

110
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: in the first quarter, try to keep your defense off

111
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: the field. Try your best to keep the defense off

112
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: the field. And the reason I want to run the

113
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: ball not just to say the defense. I want to

114
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: run the ball because I think it gives Dak a

115
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: better chance to be who he can be. Me. Yes,

116
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you this. Let's think about this

117
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 1: question coming in just for you because you're you're the

118
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: former player, you're the six time pro bowler, you're the champ,

119
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: former champion. Have you ever been on a team in

120
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: this type of situation? Like I know you played a

121
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: long time. You're on some bad teams, you're on a

122
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: one in fifteen team. You were on a championship team,

123
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: multiple teams. Have you ever been on a team that

124
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: had high expectations and then something happened in the middle

125
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: of the season, whether it was a suspension, injury, and

126
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, the team doesn't look anything

127
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: like itself, and there's this there's this lull that you

128
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: guys went through, Like if you have you experienced that

129
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,559
Speaker 1: as a player, Nah, because we were either very bad

130
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: very good, and even a year where we had where

131
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: we lost an NFC championship game to San Francisco, we

132
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: never had, Mick, Can you remember what we just had? Yes,

133
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: I got two for you. Your first year nineteen eighty six. Yeah,

134
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: they were six and two. Yeah, they were six and

135
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: two at the halfway point, tied with the Giants for

136
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: first place, and they were playing the Giants and Danny

137
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: White broke his wrist. Yeah, and they won one more

138
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: game the rest of the season. That that right now,

139
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: I was a rookie and I wasn't you weren't, really, Bob. Yeah,

140
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: they you know, everything was moving around me and I

141
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: was just seeing it and I'm kind of like a rookie, like, man,

142
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: I'm just having to be a cowboy. I mean they

143
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: had the number one offense in the National Football League. Yeah,

144
00:07:54,360 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator, um ah, what's out on them? What's amazing?

145
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: But they were they Herschel Walker, Tony Dorset, yeah, Tony Hill.

146
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: I mean they had it going and then they lost

147
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: the quarterback and Steve Pullur couldn't keep them together. And

148
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: then the other one that comes to mind is nineteen

149
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: ninety seven. You know, this team had been to the

150
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: playoffs from ninety one through ninety six, so six straight years,

151
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: had won the NFC East title five straight years, and

152
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: they get to the middle of the season, if I

153
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: remember correctly, they were struggling some six and five, and

154
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: you went to Greeny yeh man, freezing cold and got

155
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: the snot beat out of you and it fell out.

156
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: It would win another game. Let me say this, man,

157
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: see the bad things like that, you forget them, You

158
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 1: get rid of them quick. And I remember that game.

159
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: I remember too, because I got I got hurt. I

160
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: got hurt rep foot a half, I hurt my knee

161
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: and when the wheels to come off and we we

162
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: Switzer was our coach and his last year, yeah, Switzer

163
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: was our coach and even though I love him to death,

164
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: he had no control. The wheels had to came off.

165
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: So but this is I think it's different here. I

166
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: think the coach is secure, he has a whole of

167
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: his team. He can still talk and relate the guys.

168
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: Where it's coach Switzer, it was like, yeah, right, okay,

169
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: you know, and we were old and we were at

170
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: the end, so it was man just to just to

171
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: grind away on those games. What was was living, you

172
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: know what I mean, just to grind away. But these

173
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: guys here, nobody should be feeling that way. And just

174
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: my outside looking in, like I said, I don't I'm

175
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: not that close to the team, but nobody should be

176
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: feeling that way, you know. Uh. Now, my my biggest

177
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: question is and I hated to pose this question, that's

178
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: it to my phillies yesterday. Are we good enough? You know?

179
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: Are we That's that's been a question posed on our

180
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: show this week, A million dollar question. Yeah, I would

181
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: have said, I mean, I think I'll sit right here

182
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: and say I thought, I'm pretty sure. I said four

183
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: and two in the six games that Zeke wasn't here.

184
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: Well that's not doable anymore. Now you're just trying to

185
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: stick at five hundred, which will take some doing. And

186
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 1: it's three wins in a row, two of which are

187
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: on the road, so it's it's gonna be tough. I

188
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: don't and I don't. I mean, like I said, I'm

189
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: still a little shell shocked at the way this thing

190
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: has gone. I mean, to lose three games is not

191
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: a big deal. To lose them in this fashion is

192
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: not something you see in the NFL. The first game

193
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: back home without Zeke Philly, I felt like they kind

194
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: of emptied the bucket, at least in the first half.

195
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: I mean the not that they don't anything left this season,

196
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: but they gave it everything they had emotionally in the

197
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: first half, five straight three and ounce and then Philly

198
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: just kind of swarmed him in the second half. And

199
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: maybe that speaks to that's a nine and ten and

200
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: one football team talent wise. It's just a different story

201
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: when you're missing Zeke, when you're missing Sean Lee, things

202
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: of that nature. I felt that more that the Eagles

203
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 1: find found themselves. They were rushed in the first half,

204
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: and I find I figured that the coach said, come on,

205
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: let's let's run the ball, let's get ahead, let's stay

206
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: even or get ahead of the chains and then let

207
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: our quarterback. Though, let's don't let our quarterback try to

208
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: win this game. Let's let's let the team win the game.

209
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: What what what I feel is this right here? You

210
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: cannot go away from what you think you are just

211
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: because you're missing a player you you have if you're

212
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: going to impose you will as a coach. And people say, well,

213
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: he's not making no adjustments, but he don't want to

214
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: make adjustments. He wants his team to stay as it is. Okay,

215
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: if you're gonna stay, run first now more than ever,

216
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: you have to become run run first. And I'll go

217
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: back to what I said earlier two reasons. For your

218
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: defense sake and for your quarterback sake, you have to.

219
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: I don't care if if it's first in ten, run

220
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: the ball. If you get two yards, so big, it's

221
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: the second and eight, run the ball. If you get

222
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 1: two yards, you're throwing anyway. Don't start getting fans since

223
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: that all we're gonna throw the first down or we're

224
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: gonna throw the second down because these guys are not

225
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: up the party yet as the offensive line. So guess

226
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: what now? You you third and twenty five because we

227
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: don't got a penalty here, we don't got a sack

228
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: over here. I'd rather go down the field with thirty six,

229
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: third and five and trying to complete that then the

230
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: thirty nine, the third and eighths to third and fifteens.

231
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: Run the ball for two reasons, to keep your quarterback

232
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: standing and to keep your defense giving them a chance.

233
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: You got the best partner in the league. He's doing

234
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: it right. Job. That's an interesting thought because I feel

235
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: like most people would say, and I hear you, but

236
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: I'm same. You could also argue you're setting yourself up

237
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: to be punting a lot if you're just trying to

238
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: run into a concrete wall. And the running game hasn't

239
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: been bad at all over this three game losing streak,

240
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: but coupled with what the passing game doing is, you

241
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 1: can't say it's been good enough, can you. I think

242
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: they're averaging four point seven yards of carry without Zeke

243
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: the season, so it's not bad. That's not bad. Mickey's

244
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: point is that how many times have they run it

245
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: into for a touchdown? None, I believe, or well, Dak yeah, no, oh,

246
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: you're right, well Rod yeah, but it was a two

247
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: yard run yeah, yeah, right, And what was Dax It

248
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: was inside ten Yeah, something like that. And they started

249
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: that drive at the twenty and the one time they

250
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,719
Speaker 1: did with an explosive play, he got called back for

251
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: holding last week. Yeah, I'm one with you, mag I agree.

252
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: If if if everything was intanch is Zeke was going

253
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: and everything was attack, I agree with you one hundred percent.

254
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: Everything ain't intact. They mentally not on par I got

255
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: to make it as simple, you know, and as easy

256
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: as I can, because you know, at the end of

257
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: the day, when this season is over, it's one guy

258
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: that I got to have that's one hundred percent ready

259
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: to go. That's Dak. I got to have him ready

260
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: to go. And and I know from playing in this league,

261
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: it don't take year. Offensive lineman, you can beat me

262
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: down over the year. You know. That's what I'm built

263
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: to do. I'm built to get with you, right. I

264
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: don't think quarterbacks are built to be hit the way

265
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: this kid is being hit in this second year now.

266
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: Troy Aikman survived it. Yeah, and you know pay for

267
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: it at the end. But I don't want Dak, and

268
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: I know he has supreme confidence, but man, I want

269
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: him more than that after the season. So and that's

270
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: kind of being seven as Nate being seven, I think

271
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: I think opposing defenses are just fine with the Cowboys

272
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: running the ball. They almost hope they just run the ball.

273
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: And the longest run Nate last week was nine yards.

274
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: They're not getting anywhere. And I understand being persistent, but

275
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: at some point, when the game gets away from you

276
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: in the second half, you can't just keep running for

277
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,479
Speaker 1: three or four yards. And the other teams scoring touchdowns

278
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: from forty two yards out, well, they abandoned the run

279
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter last time. If you're behind by

280
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: twenty eight to six, what are you gonna do? If

281
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: they were hind by thirty seven to nine, are you

282
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: gonna do? I'm with you, I'm with you, I'm with you.

283
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: But Jason Getty, we was ten to seven this and

284
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: then Jason Garrett said, we disclose so seconds. So the

285
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: second half we felt good about what we were doing

286
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: until the game becomes a blowout. You got to run

287
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: the ball until it Once it becomes a blowout, then

288
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: you do whatever you gotta do. And it's a thin

289
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: line between when do you decide the game is to blowout.

290
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: I've seen us be down ten twelve points and I

291
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: know it is. Zeke is there. So we don't consider

292
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: the blowout because we feel we in every game, well,

293
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: you know what, we got to keep that same mentality

294
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: because and I'm saying that, I'm saying it's from a

295
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: purely selfish point of view. It's gonna come a point

296
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: with Dad gonna say no more. Whether he want to

297
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: say it out loud, he gonna say it any way.

298
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: He started to throw that ball, I promise you. I

299
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: don't have the number, but I guarantee you in the

300
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: first half of these last three games, I bet it,

301
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: it's been very close to a fifty fifty split and

302
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: I'm the ball, and I need for it to be

303
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: that same way in the third quarter until it becomes

304
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: a blowout. Almost like you're just you're game planning for

305
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: an eventual blowout. You're like, well, let's run the ball.

306
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 1: You have to know it, like well trying you're trying

307
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 1: to keep him off a dock. To some he's been

308
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: sacked twelve times in fourteen fourteen twelve times in how

309
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 1: calm twelve quarter or something like that, because we've not

310
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:23,239
Speaker 1: been pass blocking well in fourteen sacks and twelve, our

311
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: receivers ain't been getting open. If the same guys that

312
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 1: aren't pass blocking, well are they run blocking? Well they

313
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: run blocking? Are good enough? Because you know? And I'm not.

314
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: And it's always the eye test, because that's what the

315
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: coach is looking at. Right, Jason Garrett is looking at

316
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: the eye test, and I'm with you. I'm with you.

317
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 1: It comes a point where you gotta pass the ball

318
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: just to stay even, or you gotta pass the ball

319
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: to win the game. The question is, if you got

320
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: a defense that ain't stopping nobody, you got to slow

321
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 1: the game down. Be it by you break the hubble

322
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: with ten seconds left? Are you get are you run

323
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: the ball? However you want to do it? You gotta

324
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: save your defense. You gotta save your defense because no

325
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: matter what you do, teams have been able to figure

326
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: out that we got we can get them doing this

327
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: and doing that is Uh. A Woozier is a combination

328
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: of woods and all the competition is supposed to have

329
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: them gonna gonna make that change. I don't think so. Uh.

330
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 1: It's about giving guys opportunity and trying to figure out

331
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 1: a way to win the game. I agree with you.

332
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: If Ezekiel Elliott was playing running back right now. But

333
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 1: I just don't know that they have the juice in

334
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: that running game to try to dominate the game that way.

335
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 1: And I get you know, it's football one on one

336
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: that you don't want to have your quarterback get hit.

337
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: But this guy's built like a truck, Nate. I mean,

338
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: if anybody can handle and it's twenty four year old

339
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, Like I think, yeah, you gotta give you

340
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: gotta give him a chance, you know, I gotta, I

341
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: gotta rap, I gotta raptor. And long as I'm running

342
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 1: over VW bugs, I'm pretty good that Matt eighteen will

343
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 1: have hit me by eight times. I'm gonna be like,

344
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 1: oh my god. But I'm not saying don't throw it.

345
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: I'm saying, give us a better percentage. Third and eight

346
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: is way worse than third and five or third and four.

347
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: Give us a better percentage. You're right about that. Yeah,

348
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: that's all I'm axing for. I'm not saying we can't

349
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: throw the ball, but give us a better percentage. They

350
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: do need to get some chunk plays down the field.

351
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: I'll say that they've had three of twenty plus yard

352
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: passes in the last three games, and La hit eight

353
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: on them alone on Thanksgiving. They've got to be able

354
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: to stretch the field to some degree and eight and

355
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: and be balanced. I agree with you there. Let's take

356
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 1: our first break on hanging with him there too. Yeah

357
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: we are, Yeah we will now. Oh, I got some

358
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: numbers to combat you. Nicky's got those when I'm going

442
00:24:58,400 --> 00:24:59,920

Speaker 1: it looks like Lele Collins has not practiced the past

456
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 1: three days. They only gave us two days of injury report.

457
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: But I think maybe they're trying to get them to Thursday,

458
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 1: not to get wear and tear on that back. So

459
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 1: we should find out today what the official game day

460
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: designation is. My question. My guess it's to be questionable.

461
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: Unless you guys disagree with that. I completely agree with you.

462
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: Malik Collins limited all week. I think he'll be good

463
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:13,479
Speaker 1: to go. Jason Justin Durant still in concussion protocol, has

464
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 1: in practice all week. I think he's out. I don't

465
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: think he makes it back. Anthony Hitchins a little optimism

466
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: yesterday after missing practice a couple of days with the groin.

467
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: I think they were trying to just rest him up.

468
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 1: He was limited yesterday. I saw him doing those individual drills.

469
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 1: He seemed to be moving just fine, so I think

470
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: he's got a chance. Sean Lee still gonna be out.

471
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: So he'll miss his fourth consecutive games. Zach Martin, if

472
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: he's good today, I say he's out of the concussion protocol.

473
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: They'll probably list him as questionable, but I think he'll

474
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: make it. Tyrant Smith still trying to play through the

475
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: groin and back and he sure looks stiff yesterday, but

476
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: they've got him limited and then he'll go again. And

477
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: then Ryan Switzer still limited with an ankle, and um,

478
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: you know he was kind of moving around. I thought,

479
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: did you? Yeah? He, I mean he was moving. He

480
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: was making his cuts and doing the little donuts that

481
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: they like to do before practice really gets going. If

482
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: I had to guess, I think we'll see two outs

483
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 1: and a bunch of questions. Yeah. And I think the

484
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 1: two outs, I mean, obviously those two guys are out,

485
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: and I think most of the questionables should should be

486
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: ready to go. We'll find out about Leil Collins. Yeah,

487
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: Redskins wise Dave mentioned Jordan Reid being banged up this week.

488
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: Could see more Vernon Davis for them. They've got to

489
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: see this list, yeah, get you. Eleven guys either limited

490
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: or did not practice, and five of those guys in

491
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 1: that category are their starting offensive Lineman. Yep, so including

492
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: two starters Rulier and if I'm pronouncing it correctly, and

493
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 1: Trent Williams. No, they're all starters. Sureff No, I mean

494
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 1: guys that sat out there. Oh you mean did not? Yeah,

495
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: two guys did not, but the other guys were limited.

496
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 1: Is Ryan arrogant plan? Yep, it's zigger hood plan. Yeah,

497
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: Junior can let plan? Yes, Josh Norman back, yes, Okay,

498
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 1: tell you something, man, let me tell you something. That's why,

499
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:22,239
Speaker 1: that's why we have to be careful in how we

500
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: handle that rock. We can't put it on the ground.

501
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 1: And I'm talking about offensively. We can't put it on

502
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: the ground. We cannot have those holding penalties, we cannot

503
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: have no off sides. We have to play nice, solid

504
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: offensive football. I mean, because I'm telling you their offensive

505
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: line coach gonna have a scheme that he can deal

506
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: that his offensive line will be able to deal with.

507
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: That's just how good he is. So I'm not worried

508
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: about them, Jamison Crowder, It's come to life. Their quarterback

509
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: is lighting things up. So I'm not worrying about the

510
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: offensive line. What I'm worrying about is if this team

511
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: and I'm sticking to what they said, and what they

512
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: told is this team was built an our team offensively

513
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: to take the pressure off our defense. We gotta make

514
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: sure we've keep the pressure off of our defense so

515
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: they can compete. All right. So having said that, yes, sir,

516
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: it was three nothing at halftime, Yes it was. Cowboys

517
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: had to kick off. Chargers had the ball for nine minutenutes. Yes, sir,

518
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: I'll do it, and now it's nine nothing. That's right,

519
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys get the ball. They drive to a first

520
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: and ten at the forty. One of the charters did

521
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: a little passing. Most of it was passing. First down,

522
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: Alfred Morris gains five yards. Second down against the Blitz,

523
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: he gets two yards third and three at the thirty four.

524
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: They run dak On a read option keeper for a

525
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: touchdown holding call thirteen. All right, what are you gonna

526
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: do on third and go? All right? Got as what happens? Uh?

527
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: He gets pressured, Uh, and he has to throw the

528
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,479
Speaker 1: ball away. You punt, all right? You can't even kick

529
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: a field goal? Right? The Chargers get the ball back

530
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: and the next time the bout Cowboys touched the ball,

531
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: it's sixteen to nothing and there's one forty two left

532
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: in the third quarter. Cool, So now what do you do.

533
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: You run Morris for five yards, you throw uh an

534
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: out pass, and you get a hold on Collins. Now

535
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: it's second and fifteen at the fourteen right now, and

536
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: see what they did second and fifteen. They threw a

537
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: screen pass to Morris for thirteen yards. Now it's third

538
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: and well my numbers, So off third and two, they

539
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: get a first down, they drive down two and they

540
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: score a touchdown. All right, but now there's twelve forty

541
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: eight left to go, and it was the school okay,

542
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: so they had to get out of the running sixty.

543
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: We got a sixteen and six, okay, and then the

544
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: Chargers make it twenty two to sell. Well, that's what

545
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: happens when you give up scoring drives of seventy seven

546
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: ninety two yards, seventy five yards. Not only are they

547
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: building a lead, but they're they're wasting time off the

548
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: clock seventy five, eighty five and ninety against the Eagles

549
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: if you want to take it back four days. And

550
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: you can't blame that on the offense. The defense not

551
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: getting off the field, they're not putting pressure on opposing quarterbacks.

552
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: I know that it's first of all, I don't know

553
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: that this would make all the difference in the world

554
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: based on the way they've been playing, and ill it's

555
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: also not completely up to them. I mean, it's a

556
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: fifty fifty shot. But might we see a different strategy

557
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: at the coin toss in this game after the way

558
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: the last two have gone. I would be in favor

559
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: of that, I think, But I and I loved. I

560
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: loved the strategy of taking the ball to start the

561
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: game last year because it was working. It's not working now.

562
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: It last year reminded me of Nate's old teams. You

563
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: get the ball to start the game, you have a

564
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: five minute drive, you score touchdown, it's seven nothing. That's

565
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: what you guys did every week. But maybe I'm oversimplifying,

566
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: but Mickey just spelled it out for you, like a

567
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: nine minute scoring drive that it results in a touchdown

568
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: and puts you down by two possessions right off the

569
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: bat in the second half. And how many games this

570
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: year have we seen something like that happen? So what

571
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: if that happens with the first possession. It's every It's

572
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,719
Speaker 1: entirely possible, And like I said, it's entirely possible. That

573
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: the other team wins and defers and then there's nothing

574
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: you can do. I get that, but if you're put

575
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: in that situation, I think you try to maximize the

576
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: strength of your team. The Cowboys forced five three and

577
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: outs against the Eagles. They managed to hold the Chargers

578
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: to three points. Even if they had made that missed

579
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: field goal, you're still talking about six points. They've been

580
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: much better at getting stops in the first half than

581
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: the second. I don't think you can argue that. So

582
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: I try to play with the strengths of my team. Again,

583
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: would it make a huge difference. I don't think you

584
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: can say that they've lost these three games by seventy points,

585
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: but hey, makes it up and try for something. Okay, okay,

586
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: what's the strength of your team right now? Who? What's

587
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: the strength of your teams? A great question. I think

588
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 1: they're trying. They're trying to figure that out. Right, it's

589
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: your offense, Well, it's supposed to be okay right now.

590
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: I think the strength of your team is that you

591
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: can still run the ball fairly effectively, and you have

592
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:31,479
Speaker 1: a versatile quarterback that hasn't been playing great, And why

593
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: don't you want to put them on the field because

594
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 1: they haven't because you've been because yourself at a disadvantage.

595
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: With the way these games have been, the third quarter

596
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: by far has been their worst quarter. Receiveless we get open,

597
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: we wouldn't be having his issue. You think that's the

598
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: main issue. I catch the ball when when when it

599
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: does hit the hand. First of all, we dealing with

600
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: a quarterback that's still finding his way in the NFL.

601
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: He is a safe quarterback. So when he see a

602
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: window that normally Philip Rivers have learned and Tony Romo

603
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: have learned, any quarterback that is better than the average

604
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: have to learn. He's still deciding, Okay, is that open now?

605
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: He said, okay, what I don't have the opportunity? Now

606
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 1: I don't. It's like I gotta throw this ball. So

607
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,479
Speaker 1: now he's trying to get it out of his hand.

608
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: So you have to make plays for him. He's still

609
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: a young quarterback. You have to make plays not that

610
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: fifty to fifty. Forget him throwing the deads and he

611
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 1: got the back shoulder. I'm talking about just him fitting

612
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: into a window. You know, now you got to come

613
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: up with some of those plays. You have to come

614
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: up with some of those plays and because now he

615
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: don't know he got pressure coming from the rush, he

616
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: got even smaller windows. So what do you do? What

617
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: do you do? Receive us have to make play. If

618
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,240
Speaker 1: you I don't mind, I would probably have a different

619
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 1: attitude if we were catching the ball. If we were

620
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: catching the ball, I would have a different attitude. But

621
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: you're not catching the ball. What are you doing to

622
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,479
Speaker 1: your quarterback? It's some of that the Zeke effect too, though,

623
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: that they've taken away that big play element and maybe

624
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: in the play actions not as much of a factor

625
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: as it was, and it's not as easy as for

626
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: the receipt I agree one hundred percent. I agree one

627
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: hundred percent. But still as a wide receiver, you gotta

628
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: you gotta catch some of those balls, and maybe maybe

629
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: it's something hey hould have been a great catch, will

630
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: make the great catch you you At the end of

631
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,720
Speaker 1: the day, it's one person that's got to be standing.

632
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 1: Do it. If this man ain't standing, now, you got

633
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: to go out and find another one, Rain Dakota, this

634
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: guy yeah, number four, Yeah, if he ain't standing. At

635
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,399
Speaker 1: the end, and when all of this clears, when all

636
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: of dust settle and Zeke is back and and I

637
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: ain't teking I this year. I'm to my year going

638
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: into whatever we're going to if that man there ain't

639
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: standing and feeling strong and standing at the podium saying

640
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna find out what's wrong and I'm gonna figure

641
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 1: it out. Did you get the impression just talking to

642
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: him the other day that his confidence is shaken. No,

643
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 1: he's he's he's he's the same guy. He doesn't ever

644
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: strike me as not confident. He's a walk of life.

645
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,879
Speaker 1: He's the most even killed guy I've ever been around

646
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: five in the last two games. And I gotta tell

647
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 1: people a lot of times, it ain't about what you say,

648
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: It's about what you're doing. Well, that's fair. No, that's

649
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: one hundred percent fair. And I'm not sitting here trying

650
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 1: to tell you that it's playing well. But I think

651
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: his response to it has been the response that you

652
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: that you would like to see at least. Yeah, I'm

653
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: with that. I'm with that. I mean, I'm with what

654
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: y'all saying. That's why I ask y'all, what are y'all?

655
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: But as time go on, we gotta throw I'm not

656
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 1: I'm not one of the people that oh no, no, no,

657
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: we gotta throw. But if it's if it's third and

658
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: four or five or third and two, I don't run it.

659
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: And if you have to get up the field, so

660
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 1: be it. We get out the field, well then that's

661
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: more pressure in your defense to get stops. And you're

662
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: facing a guy Kirk Cousins that he will make mistakes,

663
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 1: he will make turnovers, but he also can rack up

664
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 1: yardage and score points on you. So they got one,

665
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: they got one, They got one and a half receivers.

666
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: They got a Crowder who's playing nice. They got Dotson

667
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 1: who is coming along well, they got a tight end Davis.

668
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: Who's who's doing it as an old man? Read is

669
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: I don't know is he playing or is he questionable? Read?

670
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: Who's that? Is? He? It doesn't And you got a

671
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 1: guy and Pete Ryan that will put the ball on

672
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: the ground. They've lost. They stood running back in practiced

673
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: all week. I don't think you got a guy that

674
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: can put the ball on the ground. You got a

675
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,280
Speaker 1: guy that can put the ball on the ground. Pete

676
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: Rynder put the ball on the ground. Don't let him

677
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 1: get started. I think he got one hundred yards ord

678
00:37:56,280 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 1: one hundred yards last week. But Jason Jamison Crowder. He

679
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: had a decent game against US, fast time this time,

680
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:09,919
Speaker 1: he he but he's not Keenan Allen. You know, he's

681
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: not Keenan Allen. So he's you know, I talked to

682
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:17,399
Speaker 1: somebody and you know, a defensive back, and he made

683
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 1: it seem so simple. He say, you know what, shouldn't

684
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: win man the man to put a guy on top

685
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,280
Speaker 1: of him? No, goddess, well he be. He say, whether

686
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 1: it's like, say, is it that simple? He say, well,

687
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 1: the where I play, it's that simple. But maybe the

688
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: way we do it over here is not that simple.

689
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: Way way too much zone. I thought, one man, one man,

690
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,359
Speaker 1: should not this dude. This dude is not the dude

691
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. Other dude, other dude. That's what still is.

692
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 1: He's not that guy. But he is a good receiver.

693
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: I steal is a solid receiver. I spent all last

694
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: week saying that about Keenan Allen, and he made me

695
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: look like an idiot. So you know, I mean and

696
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I agree with you. I agree with you.

697
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: But the way that they've been the way the opposition

698
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: has been hitting these chunk players is not we It's

699
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: a fine line with all of us say, it's a

700
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 1: fine line. How much do you run? How much do

701
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: you pass? But it still goes back to this right here.

702
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: And I've asked everybody asks me. I've asked you, and

703
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 1: I've asked you defensively. Are we just blowing smoke because

704
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: they're just not good enough? Well, let's answer that question

705
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:26,760
Speaker 1: when we come back. Well they are for a half.

773
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 1: have never. I would have never he'll go to Apple

774
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,879
Speaker 1: on you take away you wheel. I never would have

775
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: guessed that Nate Newton would talk to me about Assassin's Creed.

776
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 1: You played the video game or the movie? I watched

777
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: a movie? Man on it to tymplally get to apple Man,

778

Speaker 1: can we do it this way? There you go getting

779
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 1: more like Obi wan Ye waking bro Elichick style. I

780
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: like it. I like it all right. Let's answered Nate's question. Defense.

781
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 1: They play well for a half. I think they've had

782
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 1: a lead in one of these three losses, and then

783
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,280
Speaker 1: it's a close deficit at halftime, and then the damn

784
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,760
Speaker 1: breaks and it's the offense involved too. But it's seventy

785
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 1: two to six in the second half of the last

786
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 1: three games. How much you put on the defense? And

787
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: what's wrong? Besides not having Sean Lee? We all know

788
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: that's a problem. So a big problem is that everything

789
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: is it just like not having Zeke. It can't be everything, right,

790
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 1: I mean, like the results tell you that it's everything,

791
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: But how can that be? So how can you be

792
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: good enough to hold the Chiefs to seventeen points one

793
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: week and and everything that's come after? You know one guy,

794
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 1: and I know how good Sean Lee is. I know

795
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: he's an all pro. I know he's a tackle machine.

796
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 1: I watched him rack up like twenty five against the

797
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 1: Giants last year. He single handedly won the Eagles game

798
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:26,280
Speaker 1: at home in twenty sixteen. It's stuff like that where

799
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:28,879
Speaker 1: he pushes the Eagles out a field goal range, which

800
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: sets up the offense to tie the game, to go

801
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 1: to overtime. Like he's a big time player, But how

802
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 1: can it go from above average to nothing? Well without

803
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 1: one guy. I'll just say this, you guys chime in.

804
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: The biggest correlation to me when he hasn't been in

805
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: the game has been run defense. Yeah, been bad when

806
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: he hasn't been in the game specifically, But you know

807
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: the Chargers, I don't know. Did they not have to throw?

808
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 1: They run? They ran a courtesy They gave you all

809
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 1: some courtesy. Run They did not run. They didn't have

810
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: to run. They ran five yards per carry. They had

811
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: eight at half time, ran thirty three times for eighty

812
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 1: one yards, and they held Melvin Gordon to three yards

813
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 1: of care. That's about what he's been averaging this. No

814
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, no no. The quarterback held him quarterback.

815
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 1: They only had eight yards in the first half. Of

816
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: the first play of the second half, they ran for eleven.

817
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: Where I was going was Shaun Lee wouldn't have stopped

818
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:21,879
Speaker 1: all those chunk plays in the passing game last week.

819
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,439
Speaker 1: Most likely not not everything, but they were seeing I

820
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 1: bet if you go back and look, the majority of

821
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:32,479
Speaker 1: those plays were busted coverages. They weren't like getting beat,

822
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 1: they were busted coverage. And see that that that's what

823
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 1: irritates you to death, and that and that, and that's

824
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: part of not being good enough. One thing you should

825
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 1: the first thing a young player should understand about this

826
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 1: league is my technique. Technique may be bad. I may

827
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 1: be not the greatest tackler, but I'm at least know

828
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:59,879
Speaker 1: where to line up and who to get now you

829
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 1: and that takes some inner inner thought. Okay, I at

830
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:07,439
Speaker 1: least know it's third and fifteen. Okay, I'm not gonna

831
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:11,839
Speaker 1: get third and thirty back off of this guy, even

832
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: though it's a zone. I'm gonna move up a little close.

833
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: And if I pass off a guy, I'm gonna least

834
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:22,359
Speaker 1: make sure, Hey, switch switch switch and call it guy Nay,

835
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 1: you're switching to Jones. Switch switching Jones, Jone. I learned

836
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,719
Speaker 1: him on something. Jones should be saying, Hey, I got you,

837
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:33,240
Speaker 1: got you joining, I gotta switch somebody. Part of being

838
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 1: good enough is knowing what to do. So do you

839
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 1: think shuffling in the secondary this week does anything? Because

840
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: it looks like that's what's gonna happen. I'd be interested

841
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 1: to see how they play those guys, Yeah, because I

842
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: think from a rookie standpoint, they're better off playing man

843
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,359
Speaker 1: than they are zone. I agree. I mean, I don't

844
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,239
Speaker 1: know what they were playing on that first series of

845
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 1: the second half, because they got him to third and two,

846
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:08,280
Speaker 1: and then they got durant on Eckler is that his name? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

847
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: and he did a stop and go on him and

848
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: nobody helped him. Yeah, and you got, you know, your

849
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: ten year veteran linebacker trying to run with their speedback.

850
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:21,240
Speaker 1: That's a great scheme on LA's part. It's like they mismatch,

851
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 1: they hit him with something, you know. And then the

852
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 1: next time they had him fourth and one, and and

853
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 1: then there was the previous series at the end of

854
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:32,760
Speaker 1: the first half and they got the it's it's third

855
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 1: and four, third and five, and they got the interference

856
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:41,360
Speaker 1: call on on Anthony Brown. They run a similar offense

857
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 1: fourth and one and it gets interference call. They run

858
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:47,800
Speaker 1: a similar offense to hours. Pieces of their offense fits

859
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: into offense. Fellow, I'm gonna be honest with you, Please

860
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 1: do nay. They they they they they did not run

861
00:47:54,840 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 1: the magnificent scheme. It's just guys got to care enough

862
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 1: to least compete in line up. You know you got

863
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: you got to line I see you. It stirred and

864
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 1: whatever I got you, Yeah, you got if you motion away,

865
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,320
Speaker 1: if you motion away, and I have to seal down

866
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: because I can't go all across the field. I got

867
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: to seal down. I'm gonna let somebody know it's called communication.

868
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 1: Two years ago you're here, Uh the Devon's accordity to say,

869
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:35,240
Speaker 1: it's all about communication, It's all about talking, being alert.

870
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:40,400
Speaker 1: That's where my man is so great. He's babbling, he's talking,

871
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,320
Speaker 1: and I'm talking about Sean. I'm talking about Sean Lee.

872
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 1: He's talking. Somebody's got to be talking. Somebody's got to

873
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: be saying, fella's alert to this, alert to that. Rod

874
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:53,799
Speaker 1: spoke to that during the week. He said, there's got

875
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 1: communication breakdowns and obviously technique is part of it too.

876
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,399
Speaker 1: And you have situations too like the forty two yard

877
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen touchdown and run. That's the one that I

878
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,840
Speaker 1: can't stop thinking of. Well, I mean, it's just guys

879
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:08,319
Speaker 1: trying too hard to make a play hit, you know,

880
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 1: get the big hit instead of just making the tackle,

881
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:12,799
Speaker 1: and you miss five tackles on the way of the

882
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 1: end zone. You know, those those things are correctable at least, right, Mick.

883
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:21,280
Speaker 1: Does anybody ever play zone against the Cowboys? Sure doesn't

884
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 1: seem that way, right, It's always man with safeties over

885
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: the top. Yeah, Yes, the Cowboys are playing this zone

886
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 1: stuff and guys are running you got the tight end

887
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: running wide open across the field, you know, and don't

888
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 1: play it well. Going going all the way back to

889
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, I feel like that's been They're they're better

890
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 1: in man than they are in zone, right, Okay, been

891
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:45,399
Speaker 1: a theme for years. So we may see a lot

892
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:48,359
Speaker 1: more a cheetoh this week. Yes, what do you guys

893
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 1: think of him as a man corner? Seeing enough? Well,

894
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 1: I know, yeah, I know you have him and he's big.

895
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 1: He's big and athletic, which would typically mean maybe he

896
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 1: could be a good man. But I have seen enough

897
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 1: of him to know how I should feel. And he

898
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:07,879
Speaker 1: can run. Yeah, exactly. I tell y, it's here. Tell

899
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 1: 's here, and I'm gonna tell you what make what

900
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 1: change the face of what's going on. If our two safeties,

901
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:22,720
Speaker 1: we're good. If our two safeties were good. I mean better,

902
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 1: not just good, but better than good. It'll be a

903
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 1: whole different It'll be a whole different atmosphere out there.

904
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:34,319
Speaker 1: It just would. I mean, you can't be guessing as

905
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 1: a safety because you are to clean up. You clean

906
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: up all messes. But when you are part of the mess,

907
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:47,400
Speaker 1: it just looks worse. Just you. You saw the player

908
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:52,359
Speaker 1: on Brown where the safety came late, where Woods came

909
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, he got caught underneath. This is the

910
00:50:56,760 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 1: This is what bothered me is I looked at the him.

911
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 1: Phillips dropped back and he didn't look at nobody, just like, okay, safety,

912
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:14,240
Speaker 1: I can see it. I know they bet underneath. No,

913
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 1: you're right, I think I'm not. We're gonna need to

914
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 1: get Nate a headset. That's true. Nobody. Nobody's gonna confuse

915
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:23,879
Speaker 1: Barry Church with Darren Woodson. But you miss a guy

916
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 1: like that in a season like this. There were fewer

917
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 1: big plays when he was in the game. Last year

918
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 1: when he had the broken arm, there were an increase.

919
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 1: They didn't they didn't give up chunk players. I gonna

920
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:40,319
Speaker 1: tell you what, don't see that That the reason I

921
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 1: refused to bring up these guys name is because that's

922
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:47,839
Speaker 1: just wished for thinking and and we had Zeke, so

923
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 1: we ain't got Zeke. These guys gotta understand line up.

924
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 1: See if step one, I'm gonna know what to do

925
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 1: and I'm a tack on my guy, you will be

926
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 1: amazed if we just know what to do and tack

927
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:08,439
Speaker 1: our guy, how much difference in the the landscape will look? Well,

928
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 1: this is versus not knowing what to do and then

929
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 1: you ain't tackling too because that that don't that don't see.

930
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 1: I got you gotta get me past the basics first. Okay,

931
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 1: this is where you line up. This is how you

932
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 1: handle this. If they go in motion, this is what

933
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 1: you do because these coaches go over every ounce of that.

934
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 1: Yeah they do. So this is what you do. You

935
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 1: you don't tell me at eleven ten eleven games in

936
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 1: you don't understand that. Now it's the effort of do

937
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 1: you want to tackle? And when and when and when?

938
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 1: This keenan Allen got ran through five people. I put

939
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:54,839
Speaker 1: my clothed, my pad, y'all zip close your pad. Yeah

940
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:58,280
Speaker 1: we got five stop stop right? And I told Brodest,

941
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 1: I said, Brodest, you keep charting. I want to. I

942
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 1: want to watch a game with you and brought us.

943
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 1: That's the saddest thing about being at the stadium is

944
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:08,360
Speaker 1: that I don't want to get to watch with y'all.

945
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:10,879
Speaker 1: I want to know what that's like. You just well

946
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:14,359
Speaker 1: see we sit two different places. See, because I don't

947
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 1: want to brod Us always give me. You know that

948
00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:19,240
Speaker 1: was fifteen yards. You know I've dated the first half

949
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 1: of last year. Hey, fifteen yards. You know we charted

950
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 1: the plays and so he given me. I'm We're on

951
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:28,040
Speaker 1: the other side of the room, and I just tell

952
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 1: Brad said broder no, not you. You have to know what.

953
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 1: That's enough for me. Thanks, that's enough. Fight. Now you

954
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 1: can dispute me on everything. Me and Mick will go

955
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 1: back and forth, Me and you will go back and

956
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 1: forth about whether we should run a pass. But you

957
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:48,920
Speaker 1: can't dispute me on You should know your plays and

958
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 1: you should have the gotta be assignment sound on this game,

959
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,359
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Let's go to take a phone call.

960
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:58,360
Speaker 1: Gene and Philly still in the line, Kent Yep. Sounds

961
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 1: like hey, Jeane, yes, hi, hi, hi, Hey, this quick question. Um,

962
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:07,400
Speaker 1: don't you think that where we're sitting right now is

963
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:11,320
Speaker 1: because of the salary cap. I mean, where's Terrell McClane,

964
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 1: he's in Washington. Where's Barry Church He's on another team.

965
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 1: Where's JJ Wilcox, Where's Brandon Carr? Where's Moo? I mean,

966
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:24,400
Speaker 1: decisions were made by management based on the salary cap.

967
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 1: We couldn't keep those people, and all right, Zeke, we're

968
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 1: gon We're gonna be based on Zeke. And now Zeke

969
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:34,400
Speaker 1: is gone, and now we're seeing all the flaws come

970
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:38,319
Speaker 1: out of the woodwork because the salary cap is what

971
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:41,840
Speaker 1: is handicapping us. And just like to get your thoughts

972
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:44,439
Speaker 1: on that. So thank you, Thanks Jean. That's a great calling.

973
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:46,719
Speaker 1: You've been the best call all week. I don't know

974
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 1: if we have maybe all season. I don't know if

975
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,320
Speaker 1: we have three minutes to I mean answer that question.

976
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 1: It's because it's a great share we do well. It's

977
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 1: a philosophical question that really it affects. Yeah, it is,

978
00:54:57,160 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 1: and it affects everybody in the league. Everybody's had to

979
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:02,360
Speaker 1: deal with the But the cap is there so that

980
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:04,920
Speaker 1: stuff like this happens and the league is unpredictable. That's

981
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:08,279
Speaker 1: exactly right, that's what they want. They want. Every team

982
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:11,240
Speaker 1: in the league except for maybe two or three knows

983
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 1: going in. I don't know. I don't know what they was.

984
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 1: I don't know what philosophical and all that, right me?

985
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 1: But I bet you just philosophical to omit reality here

986
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:23,360
Speaker 1: what the data is called? No, it is, It is

987
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 1: philosophy because you have to you have to make a decision.

988
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:27,839
Speaker 1: You have to side on guys you want to keep

989
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 1: and guys you don't want to keep. And they made

990
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 1: a decision to let a bunch of veteran dbs go

991
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 1: and draft younger players to step in and fill their roles.

992
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 1: And what's happening is you're seeing young guys and some

993
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 1: of which missed a lot of time in preseason and

994
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:43,239
Speaker 1: during the season, are now put in position late in

995
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 1: the year to make plays. Which that's part of the

996
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 1: life in the NFL these days. This is this is

997
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 1: the epitome of hindsight. But you could argue that you

998
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 1: could have seen you you could have seen this coming,

999
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 1: that the decisions they made in twenty seventeen would set

1000
00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:58,840
Speaker 1: them up to take a step back. They would have

1001
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 1: needed a lot of things to go their way to

1002
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 1: maintain the momentum of a thirteen and three seasons. Okay,

1003
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:05,880
Speaker 1: the big question, sorry, the big question is going to

1004
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:08,880
Speaker 1: be is do those decisions set you up to maintain

1005
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 1: that success moving forward? Do these young guys become good players?

1006
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 1: Do your you know, do those basic your decision to

1007
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 1: get younger and move on? Is that going to work

1008
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:18,359
Speaker 1: out in the long run? And I don't think these

1009
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:21,879
Speaker 1: struggles indicate that that can happen. But like I said,

1010
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:23,880
Speaker 1: you could have seen the writing on the wall that

1011
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:27,399
Speaker 1: trying to turn over your defense and part of your

1012
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 1: offensive line, et cetera was gonna make you take a

1013
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 1: help if you had zeke for a full sea of course. Yeah, okay,

1014
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 1: what was your prediction at the beginning to year? What

1015
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:38,439
Speaker 1: was your roocort? I believe I said ten and six,

1016
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:42,880
Speaker 1: Say ten and six nine seven ninety seven. See, because

1017
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:46,720
Speaker 1: I factored in that with the loss of these guys,

1018
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 1: I've been factory in that they would be injured. But

1019
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:54,279
Speaker 1: still I will go back to this right here. If

1020
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 1: you know where in the line up and and I

1021
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:02,480
Speaker 1: don't care if you catch a twenty yard as tackled

1022
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:08,040
Speaker 1: a guy if he's there tackling him. Now you get

1023
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 1: a chance to line up again and let him through

1024
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:13,840
Speaker 1: another twenty yard pass and we'll tackle him again. But

1025
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:17,240
Speaker 1: if you don't know who to get, this is what

1026
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 1: happened in the second half. You don't know who to get,

1027
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 1: you don't want to tackle nobody. This is what you

1028
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:27,439
Speaker 1: get blowouts in the second half. You tackling the first, well,

1029
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:29,439
Speaker 1: you can't tackle in the second. They're five and six

1030
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:33,800
Speaker 1: right now. Yes, if Zeke and this is the epitome

1031
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 1: of hindsight, I get it. But if you have Zeke

1032
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:38,720
Speaker 1: for a whole season, you're at least probably six and

1033
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:40,720
Speaker 1: five right now, right and seven and four is not

1034
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 1: a totally ridiculous idea. Yeah, hypothetically you're approached tread the

1035
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:48,439
Speaker 1: thought of having Zeke. I mean, he does a lot

1036
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:50,400
Speaker 1: to help you patch over the problems with this team

1037
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 1: as we saw. I mean, that's a huge part of

1038
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 1: the reason. I think that's fair to say that they

1039
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 1: were winning games earlier in the year. That's why that

1040
00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 1: Lady huf Huff philosophical is out of it, because I think, yeah,

1041
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 1: because because you made a decision and a decision and yeah,

1042
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 1: I'm just saying you have to you have to have

1043
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 1: you have I got to have a philosophy with your team.

1044
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 1: Got you gotta decide you want to spend bigger, got

1045
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 1: to go through the draft. And they're trying to do

1046
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 1: the right thing, I think. But what they've got, they're

1047
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:23,760
Speaker 1: playing a lot of young players on defense, and they're

1048
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 1: paying for it. And I'm glad that I have no

1049
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 1: problem with. My only problem is and and I've did

1050
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 1: shows what you guys before, and I and I line

1051
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 1: up if you want to impress the coaches, line up,

1052
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:40,840
Speaker 1: know who to get and tackle that person on defense

1053
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 1: because they have been shown a willingness. We will take

1054
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 1: a big play here and there, will will take a

1055
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:50,920
Speaker 1: chunk play here and there. But if you tackle these guys,

1056
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 1: it gives us a chance to line But you can't

1057
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 1: just back to back, you know, walk off the field.

1058
00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 1: I got you and do that, But think about think
