1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: Coming to you live from the Cowboys headquarters in Frisco,

2
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: deep in the heart of Texas. It's the Star Night. Wow,

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: dramatic much. Why are you getting in the way of

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: my intro? You mean our intro? We're your hosts. I'm

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 1: Kelsey Charles and I'm David Hellman. Okay, let's just start

6
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: this show now. Hello everyone, and welcome to the addition

7
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: to the Start Night. We're your host Kelsey Charles and

8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: David Hellman. Dave, I don't know about you, but I'm

9
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: not feeling too great coming off this weekend. I'm sitting

10
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: like this to disguise my sense of unease and my

11
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: sense of foreboding about where we are right now. All right,

12
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: I feel comfortable where we are, I should say, I

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: look comfortable. You do, look thank you. But this DAAs

14
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys team lost to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, and

15
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: I need to hear from you, David, how concerned we

16
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: all should be, because, let's face it, there are a

17
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: couple elements of that game that we're less than impressive,

18
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: a couple a couple elements. The whole thing played out

19
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: in a way of what people have been afraid of

20
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: for the last month. That's what makes it so terrifying

21
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: is all of those concerns came to light in one game.

22
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: All right, well, let's just go ahead and dive in

23
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: and roll up our sleeves and dig into a little bit,

24
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: if you will. Let's start with the offense. Okay, I

25
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: mean this was probably the number one thing that I

26
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: personally came out of this game being concerned about. They

27
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 1: looked sloppy with seven points through three quarters. I mean,

28
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: it was just it was nothing to even go about

29
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 1: it at all. Not much of a word for it.

30
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: Is they looked like they never played that Washington game,

31
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: which where all my momentum people at where all my

32
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: rhythm people. Because the momentum and the rhythm that was

33
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: supposed to be established beating the crap out of Washington

34
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: did not manifest itself. In this game. You go to

35
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: half time with one touchdown, you don't get rolling till

36
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Reminded me a lot of the Thanksgiving

37
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: loss to Las Vegas, where it took you three quarters

38
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: to get in gear. I don't blame anybody that's concerned

39
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: about this offense's inability to consistently drive the field. Yeah,

40
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: I mean It was definitely one of those things where

41
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: I looked at guys like Dak who were just making

42
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: errant throws and plays. It just felt very uncharacteristic. You know,

43
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: the big Zeke run gets called back because of a

44
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz penalty. I mean, it just felt all around

45
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: like it no one really had a great game. Let's

46
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: be honest and again that if you are feeling uneasy today,

47
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: the reason why is because it did look characteristic. It

48
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: looked characteristic of what we've seen since the bye week.

49
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 1: If it wasn't Dak with a bad throw, it was

50
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: a drop over the middle. If it wasn't a penalty,

51
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: it was bad blocking. Like they just couldn't get on

52
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: the same page until it was too late. Not to

53
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: mention being all excited about Michael Gallup getting that great

54
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: touchdown and then of course, like in true fashion per

55
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: this game, it he tears his ACL. I mean, it

56
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: was just like, we can't have nice things, can we.

57
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: It's such a bummer for a guy as great as

58
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: Mike Hey rooting for a recovery for you, my dude,

59
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: amazing catch. He tore the ACL before he came down

60
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: with that catch. Yes, he made it. He tore it

61
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: on the jump up to come down with that amazing

62
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: effort by him. But all things considered, it's about the

63
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: best thing I can say from an otherwise sloppy sloppy performance.

64
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: All right, well, let's talk about the other side of

65
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: the ball here for a minute, because this Cowboys defense,

66
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: I think we've talked about it. We felt like they

67
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: have quite frankly carried this team and based on what

68
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: we're looking at statistics wise, at least they didn't have

69
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: a turnover in this game, so it felt like they

70
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: didn't really truly have some of their best showing. But

71
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: here's a fun fact for you. The Cowboys are one

72
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: in three this season when they only cause one turnover,

73
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: and they're also zero and two when there's none. So

74
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: is it really all on the defensive shoulders to keep

75
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: this team in the game well, and they're also losing

76
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: the turnover battle in some of those games, like games

77
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: where they aren't getting one where the offense is giving

78
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: the ball up one or two times. The thing for

79
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: me is, I know this sounds weird. The defense played

80
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: well enough to win like twenty five points from Kyler

81
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: Murray and a ten win Cardinals team You'll take that

82
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: every single time. But again it goes back to what

83
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: have we've been saying for the last month. It's not

84
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: going to be Mike Glennon forever. It's not gonna be

85
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: Taylor Heiiniki forever. You don't play quarterback backs like that.

86
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: In the playoffs, the defense was solid, but they were

87
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: getting turnovers and sacks in chunks. They get one sack

88
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: on Sunday and no takeaways. It was good enough, but

89
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: it wasn't dominant. It's hard to dominate a guy like

90
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and that's who you're going to see in

91
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: the postseason. So they either need to step it up

92
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: to an either higher level or more realistically, the offense

93
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,239
Speaker 1: needs to play a much better game. All right, So

94
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: obviously it wasn't the best game that we've seen thus far,

95
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: but we've got a bit of a shot of truth

96
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: for you all. Stay tuned for that coming up next.

97
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,840

Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys coverage. Another beer, Aaron, Sorry, Aaron's gone Okane,

104
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: What are you doing behind the bar? Let's just say

105
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: that Cardinals game really affected Aaron, actually affected all Cowboys fans.

106
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: If you can't tell lately he quit over the course

107
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: of one game, were you talking about? I mean, I

108
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: was a pretty bad lost, Dave. A lot of fans

109
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: aren't taking it that well. I take it Aaron didn't

110
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: teach you how to pour before he left either. Good lord, No,

111
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: but oh, just walk me through this. So they're eleven

112
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: and five, they won the East, they got the whole

113
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: postseason out in front of him, and one game everybody's

114
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: just jumping ship. I mean, Dave, that's probably the best

115
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: team they've played in a long time. And they looked

116
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: like crap the first three quarters. I mean it was

117
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: the offense, wasn't it. Yeah? I mean it looks pretty bad, Dave.

118
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: You're supposed to be getting ready for the playoffs. They

119
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: don't look playoff ready to me last time I checked.

120
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: The regular season's not over though, right, there's no there's

121
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: no value in beating a playoff team in Philadelphia. There's

122
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: no value in that for you. It's the Eagles, though,

123
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: are they really? I mean, I get it, but who

124
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: is the Who is the Eagles beating? Give me that? Look,

125
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: I understand, Okay, it's it's easy to lose a little

126
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: bit of confidence with what we saw. So the best

127
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: team they're gonna play until the postseason starts. But look

128
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: around you, man, with the exception of maybe Green Bay,

129
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: who's not playing for three weeks, by the way, they've

130
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: got the buy forget about them. Who else do you

131
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: feel confident about in this NFC? Oh, Tampa Bay did

132
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,559
Speaker 1: struggle with the Jets, and the Rampa Bay barely beats

133
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: the Jets. Antonio Brown quit on the team, by the way.

134
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: Who's playing wide receiver for the Buccaneers? Who else we got?

135
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: Who else we got? Rams haven't looked good with Mett Steffs.

136
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: Rams almost lost to Tyler Huntley in Baltimore the other day.

137
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford's just begging to give the ball away. And

138
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: you're trying to tell me they lose by three to Arizona.

139
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: You don't think they could give them better effort at

140
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: home in two weeks. I've just I've been burned too

141
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: many times. Dave. That's what it's all about, Kayden, That's

142
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: what it's all about. People are just afraid to get

143
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: their hopes up. They don't want to get burned. Well,

144
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: guess what it's gonna happen anyway. You're in it, baby.

145
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: We're two weeks away from the playoffs. Talking down like

146
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: they're not any good. It's not gonna make you feel

147
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: any better when the playoffs get here. But guess what,

148
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: they're a talented team. I know I sound like a

149
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: Homer saying that right now, but Green Bay is probably

150
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: the only team in the NFC right now that is

151
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: a significant step up from this Cowboys team. So just

152
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: take a deep breath, maybe grab a beer. There it is, Kaden,

153
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: there's that confidence I need, get some of that liquid courage.

154
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: We're on the ride, man. All you can do is

155
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: see it through to the end. Maybe you'll be a

156
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: little bit better than we think. I'm feeling good, No, Dave,

157
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: thank you. Hey, you're supposed to make me feel better bartenders.

158
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: That's what I get coming here. But hey, you know what,

159
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: not a bad start, and when we come back, we're

160
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: going to solve some of the other Cowboys ills. We'll

161
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: be right back after this. This segment was brought to

162
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,559

164
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,599
Speaker 1: segment is brought to you by Academy Sports and Outdoors,

00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: that being said, We're going to run you through a

168
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: very fun and brief exercise love Twitter on weeks like this.

169
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: It's so much fun to toxic at all. So let's

170
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: just dive in. I'm going to give you a tweet

171
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 1: and in a couple options to fill in the blank,

172
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: and then we'll discuss seems fare. I can't wait. It's

173
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: not like I've spent my whole week doing this anyway,

174
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: all right, So preece Akaden, Let's get the first one

175
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: up here, please? All right? So this person I came

176
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: and read because I'm old and decrepit at this point,

177
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: but believe that's azy boys fan. Asy boys fan, so

178
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: you know he's mad. Bottom line, we don't blank run

179
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 1: the ball enough do anything right, beat teams with winning records.

180
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna outproduce your caden. I do know the answer

181
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: to this because I've been prepping for it because it

182
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: pisses me off. Like this talking point is not as

183
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: interesting as people think it is. The answers see, it's

184
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: beat teams with winning records. And here's do y'all understand

185
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: the way that this league works, Like only like twelve

186
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 1: teams finish with a winning record. It's hard to beat

187
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: teams with winning records. The Cowboys are three and four

188
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: against teams with winning records. Not great. Guess what New

189
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: England's four and four. Indianapolis is five, four and five.

190
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: The La Rams, who I'm sure everybody thinks would kick

191
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: the Cowboys ass right now, are three and four against

192
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: teams with winning records. The Bills are like three and

193
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: five the Buffalo Bills, who are going to win the

194
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: ass East. It's hard to beat teams with winning records,

195
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: and most teams don't Sorry, I don't know, Like saying

196
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: is healthy competition is what the NFL is all about.

197
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: It's the most even league in the world. Yeah, I

198
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: mean it would have been awesome if they won the game.

199
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. It's not surprised that they didn't.

200
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: All right, Well, um, let's move on to the next one.

201
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: I hope you're equally as fired up with this one.

202
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer to this one, all right,

203
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: So here's here's one. Mike made for the first blank

204
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: ever time management usage of herky jerky. Great phrase, by

205
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: the way, and see poker face. He did say herky

206
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: jerky about ten times on Monday. I think that was

207
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: like his subtle way of saying the refs sucked in

208
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: that game. It is fair, Okay, I'm gonna guess time

209
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: management probably because the fumble came back to bite him

210
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: at the end yet left. Yeah heyo, two for two.

211
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: Way to go? Do you agree? Though? I feel like

212
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 1: it's my talking point all season, at least in the media.

213
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: I do like I think Mike made a few mistakes,

214
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: like the gaff on the fuel goal where you had

215
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: to call time out because you weren't sure if they're

216
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: going to kick or not. Yeah, it definitely wasn't clean.

217
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: But the thing with the fumble, I'm sorry it shouldn't

218
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: be Mike McCarthy's fault that he had to call a

219
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: time out an hour ago and that's why you don't

220
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: get to review a close call like that, Like that

221
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: shouldn't be the way that this works. You should just

222
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: review every review at all college How does college football

223
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: get this right? But pro football sucks so bad at it?

224
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: So look, I'm not trying to like completely absolve Mike McCarthy.

225
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: I thought there were some mistakes on Sunday, that's not

226
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 1: one of them. That's just crappy rules on the NFL's part.

227
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: Wasn't it like two forty left when you use the

228
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: last time out? Though? Like that, I think a lot

229
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: of people were just saying, like it's so close to

230
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: when you could actually use well, but you've also like

231
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: you've got to consider that the two minute warning is

232
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: like a timeout, so you want to call that time

233
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: out and still be able to use the two minute warning.

234
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 1: How's Mike McCarthy supposed to know that a game turning

235
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: fumble is going to happen forty seconds before the two

236
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: minute warning, which, by the way, referee, if forty seconds

237
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 1: go by, then you magically look at it. They're like,

238
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: this is not okay at two forty, but at one

239
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: fifty eight we're looking at it. It's asinine and I

240
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: hate it. All right, Well, we are getting our money's

241
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: worth this segment out of this one. Okay, let's move

242
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 1: on to the next. Here we go, Young Angel, Young Lion.

243
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: This looks like my zanga name right, Like I'm laughing

244
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: at the choices more so than that was a blank

245
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,719
Speaker 1: delay of game B fumble and see far from the

246
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: How would we know if there was a fart in

247
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: the booth? Also, yeah, Young Angel, Young Lion, sounds like

248
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: something you would come up like hashtag like chocolate eyes

249
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 1: with the Z and sunsets and selfies. Um it, I mean,

250
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess it's be we all. It was a fumble.

251
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: It wasn't fumble, everyone knows, but it's not gonna help

252
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Now, all right, let's go. Oh. I love

253
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 1: a good emoji U stage. I respect it quality. Yeah,

254
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: I mean it was a fumble. But do you feel like,

255
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: in general, how controversial was the officiating of this game?

256
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: And do you feel like listen, Yeah, that was a

257
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: bad call, But like Micah Parson said, don't leave it

258
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: in the hands of the referee. Yeah, I don't care

259
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: about the flags. The Cowboys lost the flag battle ten

260
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: to seven. There were some questionable calls. Guess what the

261
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: refs have sucked all season, like, and that's not just

262
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, that's every game in the league. They've just

263
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: been bad this year. So I don't really want to

264
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: hear that. That's just sort of something you have to

265
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: deal with in the NFL right now. But but this,

266
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: this is easily avoidable. This is not something that should

267
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: happen in a league that's worth however many billion the

268
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: NFL is worth. That's my problem, more so than with

269
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: the Flags. Island comfortable with this call in a big way.

270
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: They don't like it. It's just not good. They don't

271
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: like good. I hope, I hope somebody offers to pay

272
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: to Marcus Lawrence. Is fine because he's probably gonna get

273
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: one for posting about it on Instagram. Yeah, it's totally fine.

274
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,239
Speaker 1: All right. So let's talk about something that triggers me personally,

275
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: and that is the special team's unit. Oh it scoot

276
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: hire scooty. He said we will lose a playoff game

277
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: because of blank so play calling. Anthony Brown and Greg Zerline,

278
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: I think I just gave it away. Gotta be greggy, Z.

279
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: I mean, even if you hadn't said that, like Anthony

280
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: Brown maybe not his best game on Sunday, that ain't

281
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: why they lost. Greg Zerline, you can make the case,

282
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: and I am. Look, I'm the one that doesn't normally

283
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: worry about this, like extra points. It's hard for me

284
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: to get fired up about forty three yard field goals indoors. Yes,

285
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: against playoff caliber teams. Again, to go back to my guy,

286
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: a z Boys fan against teams with winning records. You

287
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: have to make kids like that have one job. It's

288
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: it's troubling. I know, like, just sound off, Kels, I

289
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: know how you feel about twenty eight or thirty four

290
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: on field goals, thirty six and out of forty one

291
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: on extra points this season. I just feel like, I

292
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: really do think special teams is a mental game. I

293
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: think we got really spoiled when it came to having

294
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: a guy like Dan Bailey on his team. He's basically

295
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: was Justin Tucker before Justin Tucker, right, and so it's

296
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: just one of those things like I'm not sure that

297
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: this kind of consistency exists in the league right now

298
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: outside of Tucker other than Justin Tucks, to be quite frank,

299
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: So I don't know the solution because I'm not happy

300
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: with what I have right now, but I also don't

301
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: know where I can get anything better. So I'm gonna

302
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: go cry in the corner. Basically, I think the solutionists

303
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: to cross your fingers and hope for the best. All right, Well,

304
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna go ahead and cross our fingers because this

305
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys team is taking on Philadelphi Eagles this weekend.

306
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about it. If we think they should

307
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: rest or play some of their key players. Stay with us.

308
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: This segment is brought to you by Academy Sports and

309
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: Outdoors Officials, Sporting Goods retailer of the Dallas Cowboys. So

310
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: I will not put you on a full blast, but

311
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: I will say, Dallas Cowboys are about to play your

312
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: other favorite team come this weekend. That's rich other favorite team.

313
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I've got you might be an undercover

314
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: fan a little bit. I've got friends in Philadelphia. I look,

315
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: I am, I operate on a higher plane. Let me

316
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: take out of this real quick, lowly divisional arrival reach.

317
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: That's not really really that's that's really amazing a you.

318
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: Congratulations for that. All right, So they are playing to

319
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: you to speak in so go ahead and take a

320
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: look at this really quickly before we dive in. They

321
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: got a pretty significant list of people that are on

322
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: the reserve COVID nineteen lists. Yeah, they got themselves a

323
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: nice little outbreak here. I mean, because of the new protocols,

324
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: a lot of these guys could still wind up playing

325
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: five days. But when you consider that the playoffs are

326
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: on the horizon and they already have a spot, I'm

327
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: not going to be surprised if a lot of these

328
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: guys don't suit up on Saturday night. Okay, So I

329
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: want to talk about that for a minute, because that's

330
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 1: a topic of conversation that actually you brought up on

331
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: the social media machine this past week. And I want

332
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: to know, realistically, speaking with both these teams, securing their

333
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: playoffs positions doesn't make sense to you know, I don't know,

334
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: maybe have a little rush hour action this weekend. Well,

335
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: speaking of the speaking of the fun of social media

336
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: after a loss, somebody said I should be fired for

337
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 1: this opinion. So we're gonna tread lightly here. Look, because

338
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: of the way the NFL structure, like this isn't college

339
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: football where you can sit all twenty two of your

340
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: starters anyway, that's not my point. But the Cowboys, I

341
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: think you do have to keep in mind that your

342
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: options are limited here, Like, yes, you can climb up

343
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: to a higher seating, but that's not in your control.

344
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: And so you think about that. You have a chance

345
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: to rest and Ezekiel Elliott who's been banged up, a

346
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: Tyrant Smith who's got an ankle injury. Maybe even throw

347
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: in Tony Pollard who's been dealing with the sprained foot.

348
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 1: They have to play because of the roster constraints, sir,

349
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: but you can get them some time off. Maybe pull

350
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: some of these guys at halftime in the third quarter.

351
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: Do I want dak out there playing in the dying

352
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,199
Speaker 1: minutes of the fourth quarter? Not really, not for me, right?

353
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: Is there anyone who you are just solely saying, listen,

354
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: love you, you can you need to take a seat

355
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: the entire game. He would be pissed, and I apologize

356
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: to him, but that man right there, Micah Parsons, Sorry, buddy,

357
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: you're not going to get the rookie sack record. You're

358
00:18:55,600 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: too important to the playoffs. I'm not like I couldn't.

359
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: I would love to see that conversation if the Cowboys

360
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: try to talk to him about it. I just think, again,

361
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 1: you have to play people to get through the game.

362
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: But this is a time to be smart and preserve

363
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: your roster heading into the postseas. Okay, if there was

364
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: an argument for playing though, and just you know, this

365
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: is a normal game, we're gonna go out and lay

366
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 1: our guys like what is it? And that's a valid

367
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 1: argument because they need to get out there and get

368
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: reps the offense in particular, after that showing you want

369
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: to improve your communication, maybe doing so in a hostile

370
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: environment at Lincoln Financial helps you kind of get clicking

371
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: a little bit. I get that, and that's why I

372
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: think they should play, just maybe not the whole game.

373
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: All right. Speaking of the Eagles, you will never believe

374
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: what happened to them this past weekend. We're gonna show

375
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: you that a little bit more coming him next. Cowboys

00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,239
Speaker 1: that I love to laugh at the expense of our

382
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 1: NFC spos and this is no different, especially because the outcome,

383
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: well it wasn't awful, and it really could have been

384
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: would have been. What in the FedEx field is going

385
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: on here? You really scared me with what in the

386
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: f But I look, I've been to this place. It

387
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 1: only opened in nineteen ninety seven. It is a dump

388
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: that poop water coming from the ceilings, the railings are

389
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: falling over. Figured out good on Jalen hurts that That

390
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: warms my heart. These guys could have ended his season,

391
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: and he not only helps him up, but like poses

392
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: with him. I know he plays for the Eagles, but yeah,

393
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: I like Jalen Hurts man. Yeah, I mean, listen, you

394
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: can like a player and hate the team, but I

395
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 1: can't help a look at that and be a little

396
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: nervous about just you know the nature of our health

397
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: situation right now, and how all these fans are like

398
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: falling on this page. You're important player, so the jab

399
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: baby anyways out there? No, no, hey, it all worked out.

400
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 1: All's well, that ends well. But any opportunity I can

401
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,479
Speaker 1: get to say FedEx Field sucks is one well taken.

402
