Speaker 1: a break? Absolutely? Ready for a break? Yeah? And so

5
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: much for that. It's time for The Break on Dallas

6
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys dot Com with Nick Eatman, Brian brought us A

7
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. It is Monday, December twenty sixth,

8
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, Season eighteen, episode number ninety six. Welcome

9
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: to the latest edition of The Break. We are live

10
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: from the s WBC Mortgage Studios at the Star, presented

11
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: by mill of Ltte, the only beer of the Dallas Cowboys.

12
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: We're coming off a big win. Cowboys win forty to

13
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: thirty four. They stay in contention for the NFC East title.

14
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: Lots of things to talk about there because Philadelphia looks

15
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,479
Speaker 1: like they may have lost their their right tackle there.

16
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: They're one of their cornerbacks is now out. I don't

17
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: know if the quarterback's gonna play. There's a lot of

18
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: things going on with Philadelphia, so Cowboys still in it.

19
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: We'll see how this thing goes over the last two weeks.

20
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: And I just read this morning that Tennessee actually their

21
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: game all, their final game of the season, really is

22
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: what counts for them. This game might not matter at

23
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: all for them. Again, lots of things think about. We'll

24
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: get into some of that other stuff later, but today

25
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: we're going to focus on the game and a rehash

26
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: what happened on Saturday afternoon. Let's start the stories of

27
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: the game. Nick, what did you think was the big

28
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: overall storyline coming out of this game? Dak? I thought

29
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott showed the mental toughness that he always preaches,

30
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: and that that that you want your quarterback to have.

31
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: He threw another interception and it's tend to nothing before

32
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: anyone's even settled down, and he comes back, gets booed,

33
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: comes back and has a great finish to that game,

34
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: and he just basically willed the offense to scoring that

35
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: many points. And so you know, I mean, he's got

36
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: his flaws, but the stuff you love about Dak was

37
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: on display there after that pick. Yeah. I mean, there

38
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: are a lot of different guys that stood out in

39
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: that game in general, but I think that Dak absolutely

40
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: takes to win overall because of that. I mean, as

41
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: soon as that interception happened, and that one was absolutely

42
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: all on him. There's no discussion in that. It's not like,

43
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: oh it was somebody, No, this was all Dak. But

44
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: the fact that he has that mental toughness and to

45
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: keep like stay focused and come back and play the

46
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: way that he did, I think he shows the reason

47
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: why he's here and why so many other people back

48
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: him up. And he was able to finish that game.

49
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: In that game, I mean, the defense got a lot

50
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: of takeaways later on, but I think the way that

51
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 1: the offense was able to carry the game was really good.

52
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: And this is a part of the year right now

53
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: where it seems that the offense is going to have

54
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: to keep stepping up their game to kind of be

55
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: able to win games with kind of some of the

56
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: defensive struggles that they've had so far. It's a resilient

57
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: football team. It's very resilient, and they got down a

58
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: couple of different times look kind of bad. Even the

59
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: final drive of the game was just you know, you're

60
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: holding on to everything you got, and you know they

61
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: were able to take advantage as you mentioned, Derek, of

62
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: the right tackle Lane Johnson being out, they put our

63
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: guy Nick Driscoll in there and Driscoll, like Fowler, says

64
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: not today, not on fourth down. You're not going to

65
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: block me today. And so now he's back in Gardner

66
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: Mitchiw's lap and he's you know, basically making him throw

67
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: the ball away. But the way this team is able

68
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: to create turnovers, the way they're able to keep playing,

69
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: they keep shuffling guys in and out of the lineup.

70
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: They're trying to figure out I from McKinsey, Alexander's any good.

71
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: You know it's not his fault. Oh wait, the ball

72
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: goes inside to catch. Okay, get right on the field.

73
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: We're gonna show of Bland back into the inside. I mean,

74
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: they are doing everything in their power. They're taking a

75
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: guy they've had for what ten days and throwing him

76
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: out their receiver on third and thirty and saying, listen, bro,

77
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: you go down there as fast as you can. You're

78
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: gonna have to probably beat an all pro corner to

79
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: get there. And by the way, the safety is going

80
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: to turn the wrong way, so just keep running as

81
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: fast as you can until he turns back around, and

82
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: then the balls down the field. You guys were talking

83
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: about Dak, You're absolutely right about that. It's just a

84
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: very resilient football team to win that game the other day.

85
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: It's interesting they've been talking about resilience as kind of

86
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: the theme throughout the season. He goes back to training

87
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: camp when the coach have been talking to him about

88
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: this term and saying this over and over, and literally

89
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: Week one they lose their quarterback. And so when you

90
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: look at this team and what they've been able to

91
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: do this year, I think resilient is about the best

92
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: way you can put it for them. Let's talk about

93
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: a couple of moments, because I do think Brian, you

94
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: mentioned that last drive, but I think there were the

95
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: two final drives that the Cowboys had where my opinion, well,

96
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: they made some really questionable decisions and some of those

97
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: decisions could have cost them. But I wanted to get

98
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: your opinions. Let's start first. It was following the interception

99
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: by darn Bland, roughly three or six left in the

100
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Games tied thirty four, thirty four, first and

101
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: ten to Philadelphia thirty four. It's an incomplete pass. They

102
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: decided to throw the ball second and ten. They get

103
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: a five yard pass to Brown, so it gets third

104
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: and five at the Philadelphia twenty nine with two twenty

105
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: eight left in the game, again they opt to pass

106
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: in completion. They end up having to kick a forty

107
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: eight yard field though they do take the lead thirty

108
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: seven thirty four, but they leave two twenty four on

109
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: the clock. Nick, and you and I were talking about

110
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: it in the press box. What were your thoughts in

111
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: that moment, because going back to last week, the coach

112
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: said we were trying to be aggressive, we wanted to

113
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 1: go ahead and win the game. Seems like that was

114
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: the same mantra this week. What do you think. I

115
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: don't agree with it. I think that you gotta either

116
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: burn some timeouts for the Eagles or get it to

117
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: the two minute warning or both. And I think that

118
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: the next drive show you just that they have abilities

119
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: to run the football without running it right up the middle.

120
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: Either it's Dak, it could be Tony Pollard on the outside,

121
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: could be different things. But do something that you can

122
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: still run. Be somewhat aggressive, but at the same time

123
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: you're forcing the Eagles to make a decision. Yeah, he's

124
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: I mean, four minute football is not great for this

125
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: team at times, especially the last two weeks. I think

126
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: you got away with one this week. To me again,

127
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: it's about the condition of your team. It's about the

128
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: condition of your defense. It's like I even Gardner Minshew,

129
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: they're they're really not without Jalen Hurts. You could kind

130
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: of see they're a different running team. They's it was

131
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: three yards to carry without Jalen Hurts. I mean, Dallas

132
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: is so now it turns into all this playing past defense.

133
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: You're trying to figure out the secondary. They've got guys

134
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: at Smith making leaping catches over the head catches Dallas Goddard.

135
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you just don't want to put your defense

136
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: back through that. And so I mean that that drive

137
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: and the last two h seven of the game, you

138
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:08,239
Speaker 1: know where Dak runs out of bounce and you're like, god, why,

139
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: and you know they still got timeouts and there's still

140
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: time left. And I got to the point where we

141
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: were talking about myself and Zach Woolchuk, do you go

142
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: for it on fourth down to just try and kill

143
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: it here? You just try and get to call your

144
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,559
Speaker 1: maybe your best two point play and try and score

145
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,559
Speaker 1: touchdown here and in the game. But kicking the field

146
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: goal was, you know, it was the right thing considering

147
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: how fast Philadelphia moved down the field, you know, so

148
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: that those are the things that give you that pause

149
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: of man, you've got game in hand, you've got the turnovers,

150
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: and now you're putting your team back in harm's way.

151
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: That was tough. I think they got really fortunate the

152
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: way that game ended there. What's confusing to me is,

153
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: I mean, we know the team. They know the team.

154
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: We don't. We don't know them as well as they do,

155
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: but we we got a pretty good hand of the team.

156
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: And to me, when we're watching the game, any game

157
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: and it comes home too like a questionable decision, it

158
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: seems clear to us as we're watching it, all they

159
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: should have done this or they shouldn't have done that.

160
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: I like, why do they not have this? Like why

161
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: do they not see the game as we see them

162
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: see it as as well? You know? Yeah, Well, to me,

163
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: I think it's Coach talked about it last week and

164
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: it is completely different lenses. And by the way, one's

165
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: not necessarily right over the other. It's just how you

166
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: prefer it. He I think, is opting to say we're

167
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: going to be aggressive and and we're gonna say that

168
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: even if it doesn't work out our way, we're going

169
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: for the win. And by the way, sometimes the analytics

170
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: tells you be aggressive. I don't know that I agree

171
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: with that in this situation. I didn't agree with it

172
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 1: last week either, but but at the end of the day,

173
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: it worked out for him this week. Right, Well, he

174
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: told you all you needed to know. He went for

175
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: it on fourth and seven, you know, And you're fortunate

176
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: that t Y Hilton draws a passing or a defensive

177
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 1: holding penalty there, because that's one of those things you're

178
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: kind of like in a game like this, just punt it,

179
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: punt it and see if see if you can hold him,

180
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: see if you can get a stop. But him staying

181
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: aggressive and all that, I mean, it's it. I really

182
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: thought he was going to go for him fourth down.

183
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: I really thought him, like, man, he's calls it, No Moss.

184
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: I thought he was in that no Moss moment where

185
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: it's like, call play, let's see if we can if

186
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: we pin him, we pin him, and we'll see if

187
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: we can play. But that, man, that's a that's a

188
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: rough that's a rough, rough way to operate right there.

189
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: For sure. Ironically, Nick, you were kind of having that

190
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: same kind of back and forth. Should they go for it?

191
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: Here because you were thinking the same thing. What were

192
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: we thought? Well, I was trying to, you know, do math,

193
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: which is never a good thing. But I was like,

194
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: you know, you you kick a field goal, and you

195
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 1: put him to the twenty five and they've got to

196
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: score seventy They got seventy five yards to beat you.

197
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: If you go for it, you could put them away,

198
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: and if not, you put them at the one. Yeah,

199
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: so now one or two. So now you've got to

200
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: go sixty five yards for them to begin a field goal,

201
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: you know, And and they're pinned back, and their play

202
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: calling is not going to be the same play calling.

203
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: It just can't. I mean, especially when you right tackle

204
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 1: the white. That's safety if you if you hold in

205
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: the end zone. So it's gonna be quick, quick, quick,

206
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: and I think that it'll take them a little longer

207
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: to get there. So yeah, I was I was thinking,

208
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: maybe just just try to put it, put it away,

209
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: if you if you would have penned, if you think

210
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: about penning them if they have no timeouts. Yeah, right,

211
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: that's that's the thing that that that's when I was

212
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: going through it in my mind and I try and

213
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: play these games like, Okay, how would like, to me,

214
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,119
Speaker 1: the best that ever was was the Bill Parcels. Parcels

215
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: had a guy named Ray Hanley that was responsible, you know,

216
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: the Giants days, the Super Bowl days where he Ray

217
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: click over, Ray, how many No, I need? How many

218
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: first down I need? You need one coach and need

219
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: won first down and you could carry it, you know.

220
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: And so you're talking through all this stuff. But when

221
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: they have timeouts left, I'm thinking, like, man, you probably

222
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: have to kick the field goal here because you can't.

223
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: You can't just you know, you can't. Just if you

224
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: made them burn them all, then you pin them. Now

225
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: you're it's a little bit different. They've got they can't

226
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: throw the ball in the middle of the field. The

227
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: stuff's going up the sidelines and things like that. So

228
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: that's that's part of not getting all those timeouts off

229
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: the board. Yeah, and you look at that that you've

230
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: that that following drive there where it was after the

231
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: fumble recovery. So they've gotten the field goal, they've taken

232
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: the lead, they get a fumble, Yeah, they get a fumble.

233
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: Two h seven's left, they got a three point lead.

234
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: And then on first and nineteen, great run by Dak Yeah,

235
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: Jack runs out of bound. Yeah, gives them the time out,

236
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: basically basically stopping the clock there. And then you get

237
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: to a situation where's first and goal in Dallas, opts

238
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: to throw instead of run, they get a negative nine

239
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: yards on a sack, and and it just kind of

240
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: to me. I'm looking at that and I'm thinking, that's

241
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: first and goal at the five. Why are you not

242
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: running the ball? Yeah? I mean, do you guys think

243
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: that in some of these instances, maybe they're just not

244
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: im okay with throwing it because it's one second to go.

245
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if it's inca because

246
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: it's close. But but don't take a nine yard sack.

247
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I felt like Dak was getting was thinking

248
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: about last week and being like, oh I should have

249
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: taken a sack or whatever. No, just throw it. Don't

250
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,719
Speaker 1: give nine yards because they probably score a touchdown if

251
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 1: the second down or third down, maybe fourth down. At

252
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: that point, it was hard to get back through there.

253
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: So I think he just had a mental lapse there

254
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: those two plays. Two plays. Yeah, that's also my thought.

255
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: Though I agree with you it didn't matter to throw

256
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: or passing that instance, But the way I look at it,

257
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: is your running game with Zeke Elliott, you can pick

258
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: up those short yards if even if even if on

259
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: that run he picks up two, and now you're second

260
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: and goal at the three. I think at that point,

261
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: I'm just continuing to pound the ball. I already have

262
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 1: a three point lead. My goal at that point is

263
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: to take all the timeouts and to leave the clock

264
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: as much as I can. And if I got to

265
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: kick a field goal, great, but I'm gonna leave them

266
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: in those worst a position as possible, right, you know? Yeah,

267
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: they these officials though with Alex Alex kemp and I

268
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: don't want to make it, but the whole game, you know,

269
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: they let him play. Oh yeah, they really let him play.

270
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: Because on the third and seven call with minute fifty,

271
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz gets called, they hold him, they tackle him

272
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 1: in the end zone, and they don't call it. So

273
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: you're thinking, like, you know, they're probably looking at They're

274
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: gonna watch the tape and see that they're gonna go, well, okay,

275
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: that's part for the course. But Parsons got held. You know,

276
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: Tyrant Smith was holding in the game. It was they

277
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: were letting him play. That was letting him play. And

278
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: so if you're thinking you're gonna get a call him

279
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: third and seven in the end zone that could maybe

280
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: give me the first down to kill that game. No,

281
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: these officials were going to let the players decide it.

282
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead, and oh, real quick before we go

283
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: to break though, I did want to ask this a

284
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: bigger picture question about game management. Are you concerned these

285
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: last two games there have been some bad decisions or

286
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say that, there have been some different decisions

287
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: and what we would have made that being said, how

288
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 1: concerned are you about it? Oh? I'm concerned, just because

289
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: but I'm a media guy. I was once involved with

290
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 1: all if never was a coach. I mean I was

291
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: a coach in college, but not in the NFL level.

292
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: But I've been around enough games to where I know

293
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: how you're supposed to like keep clock moving. The clock

294
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: can be your ally in this way, and you know,

295
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 1: if you can make them burn timeouts and put them

296
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: in a different situation, then you can maybe dictate the

297
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: game in your direction. I'm absolutely concerned because I've seen

298
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: it back to back weeks. One week they got away

299
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: with it, the other week they didn't get away with it.

300
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: And I think that's the thing that you know, these

301
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: games they play, they play the games like this, these games,

302
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: these playoff games are going to be We saw basically

303
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: Tampa last night and their situation and how they needed

304
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: the clock and stuff like that. So yeah, I'm I'm

305
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: a little bit concerned. I understand their mentality, but it

306
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: does scare me because they haven't shown consistency in it,

307
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: and when it comes it's just you're cutting it close. Now,

308
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: we're about to end the season and that's it. When

309
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: you get to the playoffs, that it's gonna come down

310
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: to that. And it scares me that it comes out

311
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: to a moment like that, the last few minutes of

312
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: a game, and they tend to play games are pretty close,

313
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: so you know, those are crucial moments there and some

314
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: of those decisions that seemed clear to us while we're

315
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: watching it. But I get their aggressiveness. I just it

316
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: does scare me, and I hope I don't know, because

317
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: then if they're too conservative too, then you criticize that

318
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: as well. So it's just like it's not a win

319
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: win situation here, so it's just either way you're gonna

320
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: get criticized. So I'd rather them be aggressive. But I

321
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: don't know. It's just well, one week they're aggressive and

322
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: then next week they're not. That's kind of it's you know,

323
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: I mean they went the third and ten. I mean,

324
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: like I say, I'm surprised he didn't go for it

325
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: on fourth down. I think the only reason he didn't

326
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: go for a fourth down because they had that time

327
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: out left. But you could have gotten rid of that

328
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: by the way you sequenced your place. You could have

329
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: made them burn their time. There's a way to be aggressive,

330
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: but also will be a little smarter about it. Nick. Now,

331
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: I'm not really concerned. I think they're you know, they've

332
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: I think a lot of times we look at clock

333
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: management when it's when it's bad, and I think there's

334
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: a lot of times that just when it goes, you know,

335
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: like a Houston game, you go down, you go down,

336
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: you score twenty five seconds to go whatever. Like, you know,

337
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: I think a lot of times it's pretty good. I'm

338
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: not too worried about it. But yeah, like the Amber said,

339
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: it is a balance of being like I want to

340
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: be aggressive, when do I pull back when? And it's

341
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: not the easiest thing in the world to have a

342
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: mentality that that does kind of go back and forth. So,

343
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: I mean, these games are gonna be close. We know it.

344
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: For the playoff game, it's going to come down to

345
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: the end. It's going if it's in Tampa Bay's definitely

346
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: going to come down to me, no doubt about it.

347
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: And so that's just you better not leave. And I

348
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: think you have to be super aggressive there because if

349
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: you don't, if you just give them chances, then you're

350
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: not gonna win. Yeah, you're playing that kind of team. Yeah,

351
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: I think you're right. Yeah. To your point though, is

352
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: if you're Mike McCarthy and you lose that game to

353
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, say in the last and you're like, your

354
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: argument is, or if the media asked, well, why did

355
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: you do this? We're playing against Tom Brady, history will

356
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 1: tell you that man is going to do it. You know,

357
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: fifty percent of his career has been played in Super Bowls.

358
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: To think about that, Okay, let's not act like that.

359
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: You know that we're playing like you know, you're you're

360
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: playing somebody different, you know. But anyway, yeah, you can

361
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 1: get away. You have to coach games differently against Brady,

362
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Patrick Mahomes. You have to coach game you

363
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 1: have to play outside the box because your argument is like, hey,

364
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: look who we're playing against. You think do you think

365
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: I want to give them any any time? No, I'm not.

366
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: So you're rooting for the Packers, Yes, I am to. Yeah,

367
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: I would love I would love for there to be

368
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: teams below us in the seating who are good teams

369
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 1: or teams that can knock bigger teams off. I mean,

370
00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: like could go to Minnesota, love San Francisco and be somebody. Well.

371
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: The thing about it is, though, too to me, I

372
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: think the Commanders are that team. The Commanders, what's happening.

373
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: But with their quarterback situation, Now, if they got they

374
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: got they got worked, they got worked in that Giants

375
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: game on a call and San Francisco nobody wants to play.

376
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 1: You know that situation, you will see you get the

377
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: win against the Giants. Put yourself in with the position

378
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: the Giants are in right now. You know they lost

379
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: last week. So you know, if you're the if you're

380
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: the Commanders, you're got the eight wins, you're probably gonna

381
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: go lose to San Francisco. You're probably gonna lose. They

382
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: just did. But but that's the thing about it is

383
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: now to me the commanders of the team that could

384
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: beat Philadelphia. They did it. They went to Philadelphia and

385
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: won a game. So I'm thinking, beat Minnesota, Go go

386
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: be the lower seed, go win the game at Philadelphia.

387
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: I think that's what I was thinking. If Wins isn't

388
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: the quarterback. But it looks like they're going back to Wins.

389
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,479
Speaker 1: I don't think they are. You know, they don't think.

390
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: I don't think they're going back to Wind in this

391
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: last game, I know, but it made they made it

392
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: seem like or at least what I mean, very It

393
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: was like very like. I don't don't read this like

394
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: he was. If they go back to him, I have

395
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: no they won't go back to the way. They won't

396
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 1: go back to Wins. They absolutely will not. The other

397
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: guys are better. He's a better quarterback. For whatever reason.

398
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: He they they've been responded. He's a responsive team. But

399
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: but you're right the way the Packers. The thing about Packers,

400
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: I don't trust them on defense. And even though they

401
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: played well against Miami, Yester Miami was this, It's two,

402
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: Miami's two. It was just what was he doing yesterday?

403
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what that was about there that least two. Yeah,

404
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna take that final break, I mean the second

405
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: first break. When we come back, we're gonna talk a

406
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 1: little bit about the offense, dive into the running game,

407
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: and I'm talking a little about t Y Hilton. He

408
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 1: provided something for this team that maybe they haven't had

409
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 1: to this point. We'll talk about that when we come back.

410
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys dot com Radio. Todd thought it would be

411
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 1: secure to jog and the Cheetah Savanta. Todd believed the

412
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: big Cat repellent he bought online was reliable, and now

413
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: Todd is trying to be faster than this cheetah that

414
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: can run eighty miles per hour. But the good news

415
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: is Todd has a T and T five G. It

416
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: is fast, reliable, and secure, and he learned the best

417
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: thing to do is stop running and toss her the

418
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: backpack with the beef stew at and T five G Fast, reliable, secure,

419

Speaker 1: in particular Yesterday, I mean, I'm sorry Saturday, Zeke Elliott

458
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: ran sixteen times for fifty five yards or three point

459
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,959
Speaker 1: four average and a touchdown. Tony Pollard had nine carries

460
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: for nineteen yards two point one average. After the game,

461
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: when we were talking to Zeke, he made mention the

462
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: fact that the running game just wasn't there on Saturday

463
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: that had forty one. He did, and I didn't bring

464
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 1: that up specifically because that's a whole different conversation for me.

465
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: A good thing about the running game. Okay, I'm how

466
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 1: do you guys feel about what happened with the running

467
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: backs and what was the issue? Was it a situation

468
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 1: where literally it was just Philadelphia was just stopping them.

469
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: I just couldn't get these these tackles and linebackers and ends.

470
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 1: If you don't hold blocks with these guys, they will

471
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: make every single tackle. There will be times when they

472
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: were getting pushed and guys were fallen off and then

473
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: you know, it's like a chance to cut the ball.

474
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: And then this was not one of the better games

475
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: for mcconnor McGovern. It just wasn't. I mean it, But

476
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: he wasn't alone, Tyrn Smith, Martin. They all had those

477
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: one or two plays where it's blocking, blocking, blocking, and

478
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: then you just these guys are so powerful on the

479
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,199
Speaker 1: other side that they get off their block and then

480
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: they make a tackle for a game of two or

481
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: a gain of three. So a lot of lack of

482
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: sustain in this game, and they couldn't get guys up

483
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: sometimes on the linebackers, which really was a problem. That's

484
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: why that they're they're linebacker. Edwards had so many tackles

485
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: in this game, and he had fourteen of them where

486
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: he just they could not get a guy to him

487
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: quick enough. This is why they're thirteen and two. I mean,

488
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: like they're really good because they always have an athletic, healthy,

489
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: fresh defensive linemen out there. I mean there's not just

490
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: four guys that play there for them at seven eight guys,

491
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 1: it's a really good rotation. It doesn't ever seem to

492
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: drop off. I mean you throw in, you know, some

493
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: really talented Pro Bowl type guys that are backing up.

494
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, that they've they've stacked their D line. Well,

495
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 1: you know, they have a problem with the cow was

496
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: struggling in the running game per se, because it showed

497
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: me that they can get it done with the passing game.

498
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: And sometimes I feel that when they struggle in the

499
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: running game, they tend to play bad, like when they

500
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: don't have that kind of balance, they struggle on offense.

501
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 1: So the fact that they came out with what was

502
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: a forty points total, that makes me very happy to

503
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: see that they can keep it going and make it

504
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 1: work with just relying mainly on the passing game and

505
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. I'm glad they kept trying. I was. I

506
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: wasn't against it, and like you say, if the big

507
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: difference in this game too was you know, when you

508
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: watch the Eagles play, Jalen Hurts gets fifty sixty eighty

509
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: one hundred yards running and then all of a sudden,

510
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,160
Speaker 1: it supplements what they're doing in the running game. Well,

511
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 1: running game looks terrible with your running backs, but then

512
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: your quarterback is escaping, he's scrambling, he's getting eleven yards,

513
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: he's getting ten. You know, he's getting yardage. You know,

514
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 1: on the on the final drive, he's getting yardage on

515
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: that play. You know, I'm fine with that. You know

516
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: it just keep after it, just don't complete. I think

517
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: there was an administration before that might have just abandoned

518
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 1: this thing and said, okay, we got to throw it

519
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: every down now, and then you might have been fine.

520
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: But you also might have been in a situation where

521
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: your quarterbacks getting hit like he did and the balls

522
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: flying up in the air and luckily Beotis just rips

523
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,239
Speaker 1: it out of the guy's hands on the ground. So

524
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: you don't have a turnover at midfield. Yeah, play at

525
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah you don't get that you did not win. Yeah,

526
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: I mean that's I mean literally Tyrn Smith, I mean

527
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: they both tackles get beat and the ball's flying in

528
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: the air and you're like, going, this is not good

529
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: and Tyler Beyodist on the ground just rips it out

530
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: of the guy's hands. But you keep putting Dak back

531
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: there passing against this this a defensive line. I would

532
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 1: rather just keep trying to run two, three four yards

533
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: a shot. That fourth and one play was really creative too.

534
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: But but what they did with the you know, putting

535
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: the putting the tight end right there like they were

536
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: going to run it off tackle, run it inside, because

537
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: you get collapsed and then all of a sudden, now

538
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: you got four guys blocking two and now the ball's

539
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: out the sideline. So it's creative ways of running the

540
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: football when you have to and it's not going. Yeah.

541
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: I really liked that play because a lot of times

542
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,719
Speaker 1: they bring these tight ends. They're like all right, jumbo,

543
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: you know, r beef against yours and it's not it's

544
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: not good enough. But those tight ends. But Queen Hendershot Ferguson.

545
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: They're leaping over into the kettles. I mean they they

546
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: they're athletic, they can move like that, and that is

547
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: a good play for them because they got them on

548
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: the move. Yeah, touchdown would seek? How they block would

549
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: even beautiful? That was so clean. They moved over the Eagles.

550
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: They opened that hole perfectly for seek. So it knows

551
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: where only play a job there, Jason Peter, Yes, is

552
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: only play of the game comes in and they kind

553
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,199
Speaker 1: of gotten for a legal motion. Oh he was. He

554
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: was kind of kind of laned a little bit. He

555
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: was kind of got down in a four point stance

556
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: and he lost his balance and he went forward as

557
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: the ball was basically being snap. Billy Bob did that

558
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 1: in varsity. He did. Yeah, that could be a problem.

559
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: He had a concussion, so that a little different, a

560
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 1: little different. Yeah, all right, let's let's talk about t

561
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: Y Hilton fifty two yr reception on third and thirty.

562
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: Everything about that is ridiculous. Defensive holding on fourth and

563
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: seven two Yeah, yeah, I will say this, and I

564
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: looked at the game. I went back and watched that

565
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 1: play after the game because there was a lot of

566
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: talk from the Eagles fans about that play, and Darius

567
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 1: Slaven said something about it, basically saying, if you don't

568
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: know football, don't don't comment. He blamed Jasie. What he

569
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 1: was saying was that basic Scott he was in he

570
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,479
Speaker 1: was in zone coverage, yeah, and it looked like he

571
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 1: did have his zone coverage there and didn't necess It

572
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: wasn't a Cover four. It looked like it was kind

573
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: of covered two and he just kind of was gonna,

574
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: you know, be there a little closer in and then

575
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: the safety was supposed to get over. If that's the case,

576
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 1: it was just a great play. That mean, just a

577
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: great call because in cover two, that is a part

578
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: in the zone where you can actually if you can

579
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 1: hit them before that safety can get over there, you

580
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: can get a big play on the outside. I don't

581
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: know if Darius Slay was necessarily the culprit. Either way,

582
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 1: great play for the Dallas Cowboys. Big play and to me,

583
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 1: and the question for you guys is is that what

584
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton can do for you on a consistent

585
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: basis that adds something this offense doesn't really have. But

586
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: if I told you guys, on that play, your wide

587
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: receivers were gallop Turpin, Hilton Schultz and then Zeke No no, no,

588
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: Lamb on the field at that play. Okay, No, that

589
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: was that was okay. So you're trying to get it.

590
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: I mean you're you're by putting Hilton and Turpin on

591
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: the field. You're trying to get sometimes get there. Sometimes

592
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: it's the checkdown, Charlie. It's a seven yards and you punt. Yeah,

593
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: that particular play, and it was a really good pick

594
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: up to by Zeke, you know, being in there and

595
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: helping pick up. But yeah, the inside, the safety to

596
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: the inside was Scott number thirty three, and he initially

597
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: looks like he's good, like he's gonna help, and then

598
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: he flips the other way and he was completely lost.

599
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: And that's where that's where he tries to adjust. By

600
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: him looking the other way, it got Hilt and far

601
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: enough down the field to where he couldn't come over

602
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: and make the play. So sometimes Slay was blaming Scott.

603
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: I'll give you the name. He's blaming the guy. He

604
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: was blaming the guy. And hey, if you know football, yeah,

605
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: but he was the original Shaggy. It wasn't me, you know.

606
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: So that's that's that's sometimes you have to catch breaks,

607
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: you know, third and thirty. I mean two percent chance.

608
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: It was a better percent chance of throwing an interception there. Yeah,

609
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: thinner is completing that ball, and it's a better it's

610
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: a really bad percentage to say, hey, gold catch this

611
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: ball fifty two yards down the field and don't use

612
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: your hands. Yeah, that's it, right off your wrists. Yeah,

613
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: I know. And I get this every game, every time

614
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: Dak throws a deep ball. I get this because I

615
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: have made the statement that I don't believe that Dak

616
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: is a great deep ball thrower. That might have been

617
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: his best deep throw he's ever had. I mean, he

618
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: chunked that thing something bad. He really did. He threw it,

619
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: and I mean he was like, I'm throwing this as

620
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: far as I can and as hard as I can.

621
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: And that's what That's what makes that catch even more impressive,

622
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: because he stood in there and chunk. To your point,

623
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: he kept him in bounce too. We've seen Dak makelong

624
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: sidelines throws where the guys it's too why it's too near,

625
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: you know. So, And let's also be clear about this.

626
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: I think for a when you have a guy like

627
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton, it makes the deep ball throw an

628
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: easier throw for the quarterback because it's like Randy Moss.

629
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: It's those kind of receivers where basically the receiver's like,

630
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: just chunk it, I'll go get it. And t w

631
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: I talked about it after the game. He was like,

632
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,239
Speaker 1: he just threw it out there to me, Yeah, and

633
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: then I gotta go get it. And so when you

634
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: got a guy that has that kind of crazy speed,

635
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 1: he can go get it, and so it makes it

636
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: looked like it's a great throw when really the quarterback

637
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: just has to literally back up, take your drop. Well,

638
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: just sling it and let the receiver run. I guarantee

639
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: you that's the only deep ball that Dak has thrown

640
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 1: to t Y Hilton since he's been here. You think

641
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: in practice they ever aired one out like that. You know,

642
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: to me, that doesn't seem like one of those that

643
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: you would like. Okay, it just run as fast as

644
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: you can and we're gonna throw it down there. Well,

645
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: the players has said in practice that, yeah, he's he's

646
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: definitely showed he still had to speed. I don't know

647
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: if he was throwing it yeah, okay, but somehow he

648
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: showed the play. Maybe I just the players are like, yeah,

649
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: we got something here, yet I don't know if it

650
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: was dak On it to him. Yeah, I just wonder

651
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: about that sometimes. You know, it's crazy that you but

652
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: they set the play up. They put personnel on the

653
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,959
Speaker 1: field that could all run see And so I love

654
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: Turpin in the slot like that because then that's that's

655
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: what you can play in the safety all you want to.

656
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: But that guy knows number nine's coming up, he's got

657
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: to pay attention to him a little bit, so that

658
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: even if it's just a second late getting over, it's

659
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: because you put in the slot. And I love about that,

660
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: and you start thinking about what you can do with

661
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: stuff like that when you got you know, the guy

662
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: on the outside, it's t Y and he's going on

663
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: a nine route and then you you run basically a

664
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: post route with the guy in the slot with Turpin.

665
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: And let's assume for a second you put CD on

666
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: the field and you got him over on the other

667
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: side of the field, what are you gonna do defense like,

668
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: because somebody's gonna get open here and you can make

669
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: some you can get some big hits at some players

670
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: like that. I think that's where t Y Hilton adds

671
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: a new dimension to this offense that we really haven't

672
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: been able to see this point. Yeah, it's like Bakham, who, no,

673
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: just get it. I'm still salty about the whole situation.

674
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: But no, that's exactly what the Cowboys were missing and

675
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: they got it. And it's impressive. Now, he said, the

676
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: bar very very high, and I expect nothing less than

677
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: catches like those. So keep it up. And it's exciting

678
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: to have a guy like him with the speed that

679
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: he has, because that is the one number, like Nick mentioned,

680
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: that is the one thing that all of these guys

681
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: have commented about him, is how fast this guy is

682
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: and the fact that he showed the ability that he

683
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: still has without playing all year basically right, Yeah, he's

684
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: being out of recovery and so that just shows. Imagine

685
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: him getting a few more weeks of work in. I

686
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: bet he's a lot better once the playoffs get here,

687
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be making those plays I think I

688
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: always were lacking. I think you have to use him

689
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: stuff in the underneath too. I think he's so capable

690
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: of making those plays. Third and four, third and five,

691
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: you get in those kind of those what we gonna

692
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: call run pass kind of things. And you play action

693
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: it and you hit him out of a bunch formation

694
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: someone's trying to chase him. He's he's really good at

695
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: those kinds of plays as well. And the thing about

696
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: that is at fifty two yard pass that's gonna defensive

697
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: will be watching that and they're thinking I'm playing off

698
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: like I'm not necessarily going up tight. So that's going

699
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: to create those openings for some of those underneath throws.

700
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, he's got I think he adds a new

701
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: dimension to your offense and gives you just one more

702
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: playmaker that you get the ball in his hand in space,

703
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: he can do something with it. Um. This is always

704
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: funny because it brought us. Was like, hey, you know

705
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 1: who's gonna make a play on third and four for you?

706
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: And I was just like, well, third and thirty, you

707
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: know who's gonna do it? Third and thirty. I mean,

708
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: I sit next to Todd Archer from the ESPN and

709
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: he charts every play and the guy had announced third

710
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: and thirty and he goes, the Cowboys are seven and

711
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,959
Speaker 1: fifteen on third downs and he goes, I'm just gonna

712
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: write seven and sixteen right now because they're not they're

713
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: not getting this and it's usually checked down Charlie, like

714
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: I said for eight Yeah, you know, no or draw topic,

715
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: I mean, not completely off topic. But I kind of

716
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 1: feel bad for James Washington. I mean why, yeah, poor guy,

717
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: what do you mean why? I mean, I mean, because

718
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: it's it's the crazy party. Well I shouldn't say crazy part.

719
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: We all know that. No, No, it is what it is.

720
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,240
Speaker 1: It is what it is. But I'm saying I feel

721
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: I feel bad because he's been since training camp well

722
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: something but out of sight, out of mind though. Yeah, yeah,

723
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,479
Speaker 1: they got to the point where they were been thinking

724
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,240
Speaker 1: about if he was available. Maybe they don't talk about

725
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,359
Speaker 1: going to get t Y Hilton or maybe they don't

726
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 1: talk about Odell Beckham, but they kind of realized that, man,

727
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: we need something here. And you know, it's it's really

728
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 1: out of sight, out of mind, I mean, you know,

729
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 1: you mean, it's unfortunate he breaks his foot and they

730
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,240
Speaker 1: and they were to the point where, well, he's ready,

731
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: he's ready, but they were not interested. I mean they

732
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: were thinking something completely different from him. Well that's the thing,

733
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: is I they've held onto him this long, he's been

734
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: healthy for a while, and then they used him two

735
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 1: weeks ago. What was it for like one player he's

736
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 1: only played. I'm just saying, I'm listen, I haven't He's

737
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: not my type of receiver. But the thing is, it's

738
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,879
Speaker 1: just I do feel bad in the way that it's

739
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,720
Speaker 1: the business. Well you wonder now if he's the fifty

740
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: third player. Yeah, if they if they have to go,

741
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: if they have to elevate somebody, or they have to

742
00:35:56,160 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: go in position now with Hilton, I mean everybody, it's oh,

743
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: hey look at this shiny new toy we have over here,

744
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 1: and hey, look at this guy. We've only given three

745
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 1: games too, or two games too. You know, we know

746
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: what he is. Now we need to move back over here.

747
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if they needed a player. I'm

748
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 1: not saying. I'm just saying he's probably the guy that

749
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,760
Speaker 1: they would look at first if they had to bring

750
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,320
Speaker 1: on somebody off the roster or on the roster and

751
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 1: they needed a spot. That's just my opinion. It makes

752
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,240
Speaker 1: me think that something they saw at some point, whether

753
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: it's camp before he got hurt or since he's been

754
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: healthy and not playing, something they saw made them say like,

755
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: he ain't really the guy that we need, right now

756
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 1: because they still were out there and they were looking

757
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: for other options. So to me, it just kind of

758
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: says they weren't they weren't impressed enough, and this is

759
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: just the result of what happened. We were all watching

760
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: those OTA and mini camp practice him and Tolbert, they

761
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,440

762
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 1: you never got to feel for like, well, could he

763
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 1: be that guy? Could he be the guy? And then

764
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you don't see him all of

765
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: OTAs in mini camps. We get out to Oxnard. The

766
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,800

774
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: they were talking about Odell Beckham and then they went

775
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: and got this guy. All right, we're gonna take our

00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,800
Speaker 1: s WBC Mortgage Studios at the Starless Stock defense Saturday.

822
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 1: This defense gave up or they allowed and I'm sorry.

823
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: They actually had four turnovers that they forced, but they

824
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 1: had zero sacks. Should have had five turnovers. Bar dropped

825
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: a ball he should have had. Yeah, Oh, no doubt

826
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 1: about that. They had five, zero sacks, zero quarterback hits

827
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: and allowed three hundred and fifty five passing yards against

828
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,800
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew. So give me your thoughts on this defense.

829
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,839
Speaker 1: After watching that game, I'll tell you what. That ball

830
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: they would get into their twist stunts and the ball

831
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: was gone. That's how fast it was going to in

832
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: this game. And teams to figure that out. Don't let

833
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 1: this team pass rush you and it doesn't matter. You

834
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 1: can move Parsons around and stuff like that. Uh, you know,

835
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: there was some pressure Minshew was having to move around.

836
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: He made some incredible throws playing backwards, you know, he

837
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: made some of the throws that final drive. They kind

838
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: of got to him. You started to see when when

839
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: Lane Johnson came out of the game, you started to see, Okay,

840
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: now some problems are happening for this. But yeah, I

841
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 1: mean it's a it's a it's an excellent offensive line.

842
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: The skill players are tremendous, you know, the way with

843
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: brown Smith the tight end. Any ball in their direction

844
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 1: they're gonna catch. But as you watch, I'm trying to think,

845
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,439
Speaker 1: why why is no pass rush? Why no pass rush?

846
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 1: Their line is good, but the ball is getting out

847
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: so quick. I swear I was watching it there and

848
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, I kind of maybe four or five times

849
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,240
Speaker 1: where Cowboys are running a twist stunt and the stunt

850
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: didn't even have a chance to get completed. I mean,

851
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,919
Speaker 1: it was like, in the infancy of it, just move,

852
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: move ball out and you're like, ohing, Okay, I'm getting

853
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: what's going on here, especially and you're you're compromised on

854
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 1: the back end. I think the combination of right, you

855
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,839
Speaker 1: know and Bland, I think that's the one they need

856
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: to stick with because they covered better when those two

857
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: were playing in the in the game. But yeah, it's

858
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: tough when the ball's coming out that quick. It really

859
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 1: really is. And there were times now that you mentioned that,

860
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: maybe that was it what I was watching, because there

861
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 1: were times where I was looking at it and I'm like, man,

862
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 1: they look slow the defense, the defensive black when they're

863
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 1: rushing or like going Even Mica Parsons, there were a

864
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: time where he was he just looked slow coming up,

865
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: you know, with the snap. But uh, maybe that's the

866
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: reason why, because of the quarterback getting rid of the ball.

867
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 1: So it is it's it's it's not the it's not

868
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: it's it's it's my best reasoning right now. It's my

869
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: best reasoning. If you get up and play press coverage

870
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: and make guys have to win. They're not. Teams are not.

871
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: The receivers are in routes and the ball is out.

872
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 1: I mean it is like whether it's out a slant,

873
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: you know, curls. I mean, they're getting the ball out

874
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: so far and that Gardner Minshew and the times when

875
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: he was, like I said, he was going backwards, he's

876
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 1: throwing its side arm and he's you know, he's on

877
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: back foot he's throwing it over the middle and Smith

878
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: makes a great catch. Or I'll tell you something about Mica.

879
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: He wore Dallas Goddard out in the Running game, though

880
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard in ball block him one time. In the

881
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: Running game. There are several times where he was just

882
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: you know, slant slant slant coming in working around him.

883
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: But you know, I mean that's the pass rush. Yeah,

884
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:03,879
Speaker 1: it's something you have to get. But if you can't

885
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 1: hold up, it's hand in hand. If your guys in

886
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:10,320
Speaker 1: the back aren't holding up, then it's a problem because

887
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: your rush can't get home to effect the pass. Yeah.

888
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that it does come down to

889
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 1: these corners as well. When you're facing these receivers that

890
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 1: are playmakers, I mean DeVante Smith, A J. Brown, they're playmakers,

891
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 1: will get the ball to them quickly, and that's where

892
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: the advantage is. Not everybody obviously has the those two guys,

893
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: but Jacksonville had some enough to throw it quickly. And

894
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 1: I think it just comes down to the cornerbacks playing.

895
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: You know, it's got to be the scheme, but the

896
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: cornerbacks playing close to the line script and making the tackle. Yeah,

897
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 1: because if you could do that and then you you know,

898
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 1: even that is going to be a minimal two three

899
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:46,879
Speaker 1: yard game, it's still going to put them in third

900
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 1: and long some of the time. So I think it

901
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,919
Speaker 1: still comes down to the cornerbacks, to the cornerbacks making

902
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 1: tackles on the outside. Well, the Cowboys aren't getting any

903
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: penalties either too. They're not getting any like holding calls,

904
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: and they got some calls earlier. You got some holdings

905
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:01,879
Speaker 1: and you set teams back. They're just not getting those

906
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: calls that they were earlier in the year. To say,

907
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 1: somebody Nishan Wright, he to me is very impressive with

908
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 1: the fact that he's a smart player. Like you can

909
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 1: tell he did some things the last two games. You

910
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 1: just you can just see a guy that's a young

911
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: player that knows the rules, understands he knows if I

912
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: hit him, if I just make contact before he goes

913
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: out of bounds, that clucks. That clock's gonna keep going.

914
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: He may he's making the move. Last week against Jacksonville,

915
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: the guy makes a catch on the ground, he lets

916
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: him get up and then tackle him more seconds more time.

917
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: YEA not saying about anybody else. I'm just saying he

918
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 1: is a smart, young football player Scott size. He's he

919
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: might be they're tall to play the position, but he

920
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 1: handles it pretty well. I will say this, and I

921
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 1: mentioned this to you in the game as well. It

922
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 1: was a similar thing from the standpoint of him providing

923
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 1: run support. He's a really good tackler out there on

924
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 1: the outside. They're better with with Wilson and Bland and

925
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 1: those guys playing in the second you got curse. Heck,

926
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 1: they put four they put four safeties out there in

927
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: the field one time. You know, I'm trying to just

928
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: trying to mix some things up and and and try

929
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: and help. But you've got you've got corners that that

930
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:14,720
Speaker 1: can make up if if seven is not always interested

931
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 1: in tackling, the other dudes in that secondary are and

932
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 1: I think that helps you. Would you would you in

933
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,240
Speaker 1: the off season? Would you entertain the thought about Israel

934
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 1: mcquama as a corner You've been saying that since camp.

935
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I wouldn't be against it because I think

936
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 1: they gotta they gotta think about their cornerback position because

937
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:35,319
Speaker 1: after next year, they may not have Brown, they may

938
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:38,399
Speaker 1: not have Lewis, So I think they gotta start thinking about,

939
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,839
Speaker 1: like where's his best and you've got enough safeties. I mean, yeah,

940
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,399
Speaker 1: you got enough safeties. Maybe it is a thought. Well,

941
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 1: you know, Donovan Wilson is a free agent, so that's

942
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 1: I'm thinking they're resigning him, right well, I mean I

943
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know. I don't know. Well, I

944
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 1: think you do bring back Joseph. That's just me. I

945
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: tweeted this out earlier. I think he's your special teams

946
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 1: guy now, but I think you give him one more run.

947
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean people saying he's a bust and

948
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: all that, I know, but to me, to me, it's

949
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: just that's where he drew the most penalties. Just special teams.

950
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 1: Just give it a go. Give it. I mean, like

951
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,319
Speaker 1: and at this at this point, I will say this, Brian,

952
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 1: you give it a go and he busts again in

953
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 1: the preseason and you could just move on. Or maybe

954
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:22,720
Speaker 1: he's a better Maybe he becomes your your your Godwin

955
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 1: or a Goodwin whatever, like a Goodwin as the you know,

956
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 1: the special team c J Goodwin guy. Maybe he becomes

957
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 1: that guy. Is this about the fact that, oh, I'll

958
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 1: put it to you like this, if he was not

959
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: a second round pick, would you be thinking that or

960
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: is this one those things that you're like, hey, that's

961
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: I just gotta give it one more trot because at

962
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:38,839
Speaker 1: some point somebody thought he could play. I don't think

963
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 1: if we all trust Dan quinn and Will McClay, those

964
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 1: are the two guys that they didn't go down to

965
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,720
Speaker 1: San Antonio. Ut San Antonio and look at the Woolen

966
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:49,879
Speaker 1: kid who's doing it great things up there. He's the same.

967
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,720
Speaker 1: He's a long, tall corner that they would have probably

968
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 1: absolutely loved. Woolen is a Pro Bowl player at Seattle.

969
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 1: They went to a workout in Lexington, Kentucky. I'm gonna

970
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 1: be willing to give them the benefit of the doubt

971
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 1: in this way that if you think that this guy

972
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: could play, we'll give him an We'll give him one

973
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: more year and go from there. If it doesn't work,

974
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 1: we'll move on. There's Nick will remind you of every

975
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,840
Speaker 1: second round pick that never ever played here, you know,

976
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 1: and he'll just be on the list. If that's exactly

977
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: Tony Dixon. How about that tackle we drafted that Parcels

978
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: drafted from a USC J. Jacob Rogers never played that.

979
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: Every time we think about moving from left tackle to

980
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: right tackle, I think about him because it took him

981
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 1: an entire year. Ye, like he wasn't going to do

982
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 1: it in a whole year. It took him, and it

983
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 1: was just like like he couldn't play. Parcels was told

984
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 1: he's everything you hated an offensive lineman, and he still

985
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: drafted him. I never played, never played. All right, appreciate

986
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 1: you guys, Johns. We'll be back tomorrow. We're gonna actually
