00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: Welcome into the SWBC studios at the Star in Frisco.

10
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: It is a somber Monday morning as the Dallas Cowboys

11
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: fall to the San Francisco forty nine ers twenty three

12
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: to seven team at AT and T Stadium in the

13
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: wild Card Round. And really it was a well, let's

14
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: just get right into it, because Cowboys fans are frustrated,

15
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: We're frustrated. The team is obviously disappointed and frustrated in

16
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: their own right. The Cowboys. It was really the same

17
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 1: things that had plagued them all year long. Penalties, bad

18
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: run defense, and the offensive line. I mean that was

19
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: really the three things that came to Fruition, you still

20
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to win the game late, but just

21
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: ultimately couldn't do it. Basically ran out of time. You

22
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: know you did, and you know I think my question

23
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: too to Isaiah is when you have a playoff team

24
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: that comes out and starts flat, and this is just

25
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: from introductions and all of that, who do you place

26
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: that on? Who do you put the blame on when

27
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: just guys don't seem like they were ready. It did

28
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: feel that way. It felt as if they weren't ready,

29
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: or as if they had just woken up from a

30
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: nap and they were trying to get their feet underneath them.

31
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to see he plays the

32
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: blame on one particular person. I think everybody has to

33
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: take accountability for that. I think that I don't think

34
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: that any one position, nor UM, the offense as a

35
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: collective whole, or even the defense for that matter, UM

36
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: really came out and did what they needed to do. Obviously,

37
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: I don't believe from the offense's perspective, I don't think

38
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore about his best game. I don't think that

39
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: brought his best game. I don't think the receivers did

40
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: there is a dude. The office and line obviously did

41
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,679
Speaker 1: not um on the flip side. Like I said in

42
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: the end the pregame show. You know, Dennis Green said,

43
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: they are who they were, who we thought they were.

44
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: We know who the heck for forty nine ers were.

45
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: The forty niners were gonna come out and run this ball. Well,

46
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: the defense didn't appear there. Had to watch enough film

47
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: to understand that that was gonna be the case. This

48
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: is gonna happen. They're gonna come out and throw the ball. No,

49
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna come out. Somebody told you, but we knew.

50
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: We talked about it all week. If they are allowed

51
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: to run the ball, then Jimmy g becomes a problem.

52
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: That's exactly what happened. First drive. They came out, ran

53
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: the dog on ball. A second series, they came out

54
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: play action like crazy, right, and then they got up ahead. Now,

55
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: we also talked about at least at least I have

56
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: and I've been killed in Cowboy's Nation about Dak's not

57
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: gonna He's not the quarterback to throw you back in

58
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: the game. And people don't like when I say that.

59
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: I said, I made a correlation of him and Jimmy

60
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: g in terms of they both rely on the run

61
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: in order to set up their play action pass. If

62
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: Dak doesn't have a run game, unfortunately, regardless of how

63
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: much he's getting paid, he's not the guy to sit

64
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: back there and throw the ball forty two times a

65
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: game and throw you back to a victory. That's exactly

66
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: what happened last night. The run game got abandoned because

67
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: he had twelve or thirty one. I think collectively we

68
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: had seventy yards off or seven yards on the ground.

69
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: They had one hundred and sixty seven yards on the ground.

70
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: That was the difference in the game. Yeah, and I

71
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: think I go ahead. And the reason I defer to

72
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: you on that, man, it's because I saw it immediately

73
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: that we just didn't have any spark, no juice. And

74
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: you know, I put that on Mike McCarthy. It's like,

75
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: come on, bro, you gotta have your team ready to go,

76
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: coach in a situation like this where these guys are

77
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: coming out of the shoot ready and we didn't have

78
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: any of that energy at all. And then defensively that

79
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: first series for the Nines to pretty much just march

80
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: down the field on you, we've had those first initial

81
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: plays for our defense where they've been gashed. But this

82
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: was seven play eighth play drive I believe, seven for

83
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,679
Speaker 1: seventy five and it only took four h six, I mean,

84
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: and it just it didn't even look like it didn't

85
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: even look like we were then. And you know, we

86
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: were talking about this matchup of x's and o's between

87
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: Shanahan and Dan Quinn, and Shanahan just pretty much out coached,

88
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: i mean, outschemed all the way through. Even when it

89
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: looked like we settled in on trying to stop the

90
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: run in the middle of the game, they just figured

91
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: out a way to get things going. And the penalties,

92
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: you know, the penalties obviously there's gonna be something that

93
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: we talk about, absolutely absolutely real, because the thing is

94
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: man like you see bad teams are you talk about

95
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: the immaturity of teams, right, And that's that's all all

96
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: between the ears right there. When those situations happened with

97
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,799
Speaker 1: Randy Gregory on the first freaking play yep, Randy Gregory, Connor,

98
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: when they all were WWE last night, it's just saying, dog,

99
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: it's just it's in those situations and you you hear

100
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: guys after the game echoing that same immaturity you have

101
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: to and it's it does come from higher up than

102
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: we wanted to. But at the same time, it's just like, guys,

103
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: you had every opportunity to start this game fast and furious,

104
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: and you did it. To me, it was a carbon

105
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: copy in a lot of ways of the Arizona game

106
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: that preach three weeks ago, because and the questions are

107
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: well founded post game and we're talking about the last

108
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: play of the game, and we'll get into it that

109
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: ultimately they did not get off that last four verticals

110
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: route that they were looking for instead of a hail

111
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: mary to try to win the game. Amazingly that they

112
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: were still in the game and instead of everything that

113
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,679
Speaker 1: led up to that fact where they didn't give themselves

114
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 1: a chance really to win the football game, just like Arizona, yes,

115
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: misscalled by the refs on the fumble recovery that they had,

116
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: but they lost that game in large doses early in

117
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: the game because they didn't get off to a fast start.

118
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,559
Speaker 1: So all of those things, not just those two games

119
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: in the last three weeks, those have been things that

120
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: have they have struggled with that gave people pause about

121
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: this matchup against against better teams, winning teams, including me.

122
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: Now we all picked them, but I think there's a

123
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: reason why that game was a toss up, even though

124
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: they were playing at home, and you you hit on it.

125
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: Everything that they've struggled with down the stretch reared its

126
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: ugly head. Everything that we worried about with the forty

127
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: nine ers, all of that stuff, and hes right. Like

128
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: Mike said after the game, they kind of look jittery early.

129
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: What does that mean? Well, I think I don't think. Well,

130
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: we can talk about preparation. I do think, um, I

131
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: saw a team with championship pois, especially that first drive.

132
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a team that struggled last year with

133
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: a lot of injuries. They went to the super Bowl

134
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: two years ago. They went out like a team. They

135
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: started the game like a team that has won playoff games,

136
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: big playoff games. Cowboys were not in it early. And

137
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: maybe it's youth call whatever, but the slow starts offensively

138
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: or nothing new, they're nothing new, you know. I felt

139
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: as if this is this is what I want to

140
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: think about. You guys know him as a visual guy.

141
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: I felt as if the forty nine ers they knew

142
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: who they were. Yeah, they had an identity and they

143
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: owned it. Right. There's no question around the league. You

144
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: play at forty nine is you know what you're gonna

145
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: get When you used to fight Tyson back in the day,

146
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: guess what you know what you're gonna get. You gotta

147
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: get somebody who gonna come out swing, he gonna bust

148
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: you in the mouth early on. Everybody's gonna plan to

149
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: everybody gotta has a plan today to get hit in

150
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: the mouth. Right. We talked about this leading up to

151
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: the Arizona game. Everybody was all hype winged to Arizona game,

152
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: and I had a little and I was like, what's wrong?

153
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: Like I want to see them do it against Arizona? Yeah,

154
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: because Arizona was a winning team, right, And I felt

155
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: as if Dallas still had a question mark over their

156
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: head in regards to can we perform to that level

157
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: up against teams that are confident enough to win ball games?

158
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: Totally fair, And I felt as if that was a

159
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: case then, and I felt as if that was a

160
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: case last night. So if forty nine ers were Tyson,

161
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: when people came out of fight against Tyson, did they

162
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: come at Tyson or did they catch right? They kind

163
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: of let me, let me, let me get hit. And

164
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: when they get hit, they're like, oh crap, this is Tyson,

165
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: this is what he does. That's what happened last night.

166
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: The guys came out, they were flat, they got busted

167
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: in the mouth. There crap. These are the forty nine ers.

168
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: This is what they do. And it's like, how can

169
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: we get going? Mum? Oh crap they scored again. Oh shoot,

170
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: I don't what do we do now, coach? And that's

171
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: what it was like. This was not a team of

172
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: confident individuals. This is a team that was threatened and

173
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: that was catching and receiving instead of going out there

174
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: initiating the blow. Well, and we talked about it earlier

175
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: in the week as well. Three and four against playoff

176
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: teams this year, the two teams that you beat in

177
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs got destroyed in the first round of the playoffs.

178
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 1: New England got just kind of slapped around by Buffalo

179
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: and then Philly of course, falling in emphatic fashion to

180
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. But you kind of knew that was the

181
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: case going into it. That's why there was such a

182
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: question mark around this team, despite the twelve and five records,

183
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,719
Speaker 1: despite what they had done inside the NFC East. You

184
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,599
Speaker 1: knew going into this game San Francisco was going to

185
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: bring something different, and I completely agree with hecma. The

186
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: first time they were challenged, they backed off. They did,

187
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: they received, like you said, if it's a boxing match,

188
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: they received because seven plays for seventy five yards in

189
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: four minutes, You're right. I mean, it was the perfect

190
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: start for San Francisco and it was the worst possible

191
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: start for the Cowboys defensively, but I will say defensively

192
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: they got back in it. They did twenty I talked

193
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: about this with Helmet on the on the long walk

194
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: back after the game. Twenty three points allowed. That should

195
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: be enough with what statistically is the number one offense

196
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: going into the playoffs. Now, stats and the eye tests

197
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: are two different things, but weren't they averaging twenty four

198
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: twenty five points a game? Like that's what they do, right,

199
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: That's about what they normally scored. Yeah. Yeah, it's just

200
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: amazing and we'll have time to talk about this, but

201
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: it's amazing how the identity of this team flipped halfway

202
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: through the season, where you know, it took finally a

203
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: takeaway to get them back in it. The offense became

204
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: so reliant on those extra possessions and it's just crazy

205
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: how they I mean, six games in they look like

206
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: the machine. Offensively, we're talking about everybody's coming into this game.

207
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: Was talking about bullyball, right, the forty nine ers. Bully ball.

208
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: That was the buzzword that was going around right, Well,

209
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: forty nine ers. They reason why they received that name

210
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: is because of the fact they come out there and

211
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: they just pop you in the mouth and they're gonna

212
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: come downhill. They don't care who you are, They're gonna

213
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: run the ball, kind of like the identity of Tennessee Titans. Right.

214
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: Brought that up early on, right, bully Ball for Dallas

215
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: Cowboys was beat up on the team that you're supposed

216
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 1: to beat up and beat up on a little bros,

217
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: beat up by the little guys around the leade, beat

218
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: up bout then NFC East. You know that was they

219
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 1: were bullies to those guys. But when they faced the

220
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: big dog, like Michael Parson said, right, every every gym

221
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 1: has a bully. When they faced that bully yesterday, they

222
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: back down. And and I love the Mike Tyson analogy.

223
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: And people that don't really hadn't seen Mike Tyson in

224
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 1: the eighties. It was most of the time people were

225
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: beat from the ring wall. Absolutely. You know, he's just

226
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: he walked in his only one guy show up with

227
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: air force ones and no no robe or nothing like.

228
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: That's a cutoff towel, you know, and there's a guy

229
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: sitting there. It's like, Oh, I'm gonna die in here,

230
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: you know. And he came with that kind of swagger.

231
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: We had none of that coming. I mean, we were

232
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: around wound up like a three dollars clock. You could

233
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: tell the pressure was solely on us and we were

234
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: at home. Who came in and played loose? The forty

235
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: nine ers did who knew who they were? Identity watch

236
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers? Did you saw that? And it

237
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: just like you just said, Pete, Like the way that

238
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: they came out and ran the ball was indicative of

239
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: who they were this entire time. They didn't change any

240
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: of their spots. I think Jimmy g with his completion

241
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: ratio and you know the number of balls. They stayed

242
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: right in their wheelhouse. They didn't deviate from who they

243
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: were not at one point, but when we looked to

244
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: the sideline, like what do we do now, we did

245
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: not have an answer, and that is the most troubling

246
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: part of it. We didn't have an We did not

247
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 1: answer that aggression, that scheme. Nothing from top to bottom.

248
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: I think the questions that Cowboy Nation right now have

249
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: to be how could we not? How did we not

250
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: respond to that? And it looked like they had chances

251
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: to respond to that too. You dropped down thirteen to nothing, which,

252
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: by the way, that's not a recipe for success any game,

253
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: especially in a playoff game when you're playing against the

254
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: team is talented as San Francisco. You dropped down thirteen

255
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 1: to nothing, and then you had the answer of Mark

256
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: Cooper back of the end zone. Great throw from Dak

257
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: put on the money, Cooper rails it in and you

258
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: find a rhythm. Then from that point forward you couldn't

259
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: close in within six. Then we get all the way

260
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: down to the end. And somehow, some way, even after

261
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: you had a drive stall out when you had four

262
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: minutes to go, plenty of time, chance to go tire,

263
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: take the lead, and then you stalled out, you somehow

264
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: get the ball back. Yeah, and you still had at

265
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: least a sliver of a chance. Let's talk about the

266
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 1: final play, the quarterback draw up the middle from Dak.

267
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: Prescott tried to get up and spike it, couldn't do

268
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: so ran out of time. Rob What did you see

269
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: on that play? How did it turn out? It shouldn't

270
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: have really been in that situation in the first place,

271
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: but the fact that it actually happened was certainly a

272
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: big talking point moving forward. Yeah, so I referenced it

273
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: right off the top. So Dak scrambles for seventeen yards

274
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: to the twenty four yard line with fourteen seconds left,

275
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: and so this is a play. They talked about it afterwards.

276
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: This wasn't desperation. They actually scripted this play. This is

277
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: what they wanted to do because the outsides were shut down.

278
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 1: So what's open the middle? Go take it and get

279
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 1: up on the line of scrimmage and spike that thing

280
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: with one second left. That was the goal. It didn't

281
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: work out that way, obviously, and so there was a

282
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: pool report about it because the official bumped Dak initially

283
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: handed the ball to Tyler. Beatis the center. The official

284
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: has to touch the ball for it to be spotted

285
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: and then start the play. I don't know exactly what

286
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: the refs did wrong, other than were they too far

287
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: off and not in position enough to get that ball

288
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: spotted Dak. But the guy was haul and asked to

289
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: do it. It just it just didn't work out. I

290
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. You guys might have a

291
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: different opinion about it. But the bottom line is they

292
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: didn't get the playoff, and you know, very very frustrating. Obviously.

293
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: Is it frustrating in the fact that he didn't get

294
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: the playoff or is it frustrating in the fact that

295
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: a scripted play call with seventeen seconds left and they

296
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: get or less than that fourteen seconds left in the game.

297
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: They stuck by it. Mike McCarthy stuck by it. It It

298
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: was the right call, now, I think what you can argue,

299
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: and Dak even said this afterwards, I ran too far,

300
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: I let too much time go. So that's up for debate. Obviously,

301
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: that's I leaned towards that too, because it's risky. It's

302
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: risky with no timeouts left. Man, this is a kind

303
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: of eerie because this reminds me of my senior season

304
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: against USC inside Dogland Coliseum and very similar thing happened

305
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: when after Are made a great pass down Aaron right

306
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: inside the twenty yard line was about to beat. See

307
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: one hundred and some thousand people standing up, and the

308
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: referee stopped us at the line of skirmish about the

309
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: ball or whatever it was, when over to go, my

310
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: good my coach got something. As soon as I want

311
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: to go talk to my coach. Referee put the ball

312
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: down and ran the clock out. End of the game,

313
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: very much like this. But I think the one second

314
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: that that ended up killing the Cowboys then prevented them

315
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: from being on the spike. It was when that referee

316
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: bumped into him. Yeah, people are gonna be pissed off

317
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: about that. That's the reality. I like. I actually liked

318
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: the play call. Not a lot of people are gonna

319
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: say no, Well, if he threw the ball, people would

320
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: be happy about it. It's the same thing. You're trying

321
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: to get the yardage right you're now the ball would

322
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: have got there quicker. That's not as fast as the

323
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: ball traveling in the air, so that'd be amazing. Yeah, exactly,

324
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: So that ate up some clock. If that was more

325
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: athletic than obviously it would have been less than more

326
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: time available. But it just didn't work out. There's nobody

327
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: to be mad at. It just didn't work out. It

328
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: just wasn't your The whole night just wasn't your night.

329
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: So you were hopeful. I mean, they were lucky to

330
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: even be in that situation, even have an opportunity. First

331
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: of all, especially after kicking the field going trying to

332
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: have a three possession game at the end of the game.

333
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: That was crazy to me. I don't don't know if

334
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: we're gona talk about that or not, but but it

335
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: gave them opportunity to add to have a shot, and

336
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: the referee did bump into him. But like you said,

337
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: the referee was hollingtail, he has to touch the ball.

338
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: I hate the fact that he has to touch the ball,

339
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: but the rules of the rules, and they just didn't

340
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: go Cowboys Nation way, you know, recoup Cowboys are mad.

341
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: I mean they're mad because because it wasn't I guess

342
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: it wasn't reviewed by New York Keck. And also Mike

343
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: said he was under the impression they were going to

344
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: add more time to the clock and they didn't do either. Yeah,

345
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: that impression wasn't good. And another another you know, it's

346
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: just you know, it's one of those players that I'm

347
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: sure two minute drill, you practice this and you go

348
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: over it all the time that this is something that

349
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: they start, even the OTAs going over executing this at

350
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: the end of a game. Poor execution. You know that

351
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: you can't give the sin of the ball to spot it,

352
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: that referee will have to touch it whether it went

353
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: to You never forgot that though. It was something that

354
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: and it's something that you go over and over and over.

355
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: Fourteen seconds you should be able to execute two plays

356
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: and the fact that we were not again it just

357
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: goes back to poor execution. And look, everybody wants to

358
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: put there's some people as a contingent that says the referees,

359
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: you know, sera, fall this side, fall, whatever it is.

360
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 1: You shouldn't leave it up to chance like that with

361
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: fourteen seconds. You have to bring your best execution. You

362
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 1: have to be able to get that because you know,

363
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: if you don't win, no timehouts, time is gonna run

364
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: out and you won't have an opportunity to take a

365
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: shot to the end zone. That's that's the one part

366
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 1: about it that's maddening. We never took that shot to

367
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: the end zone. I agree with you they were taking

368
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: away the sidelines. If there were like three plays before

369
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: that where they were and we were able to get

370
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 1: up to that point. But once they took away the sidelines,

371
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: the only play that you had was in the middle

372
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: of the field. You just got to be able to

373
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: clock it and get another playoffs. I don't know about y'all,

374
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: but I actually I don't. The odds aren't great. But

375
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: from the forty one yard line, yeah, take a shot

376
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: with I'm at that point. You know, I wanted to

377
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: get closer instead of a hail Mary situation. But you know,

378
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: I get getting closer. That's fine. I understand they had

379
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: to do that dinking dunk all the way down the

380
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: field sideline the sideline to keep the clock stopped and

381
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: then to keep the ball moving. But when you get

382
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: into that realm, when you have a quarterback like Dak Prescott,

383
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: who already connected on a forty plus part yard pass

384
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: earlier in the game, I would rather take a shot.

385
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: And with fourteen seconds left, you probably have two shots

386
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,479
Speaker 1: to the end zone. And I was saying that when

387
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: we were getting ready for postgame, take a shot to

388
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 1: the end zone. That's what's most maddening to me and

389
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: frustrating to me is they never even had that opportunity.

390
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,959
Speaker 1: You never even got close to throwing it down the

391
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: field and finding something there. Very fine line though, because

392
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: I know most people would like to see that opportunity

393
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: for a touchdown in that situation. But the reality of

394
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 1: matter is when you get in that situation right there,

395
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: as a defender, your job is to take away their

396
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: ability to get out of bounds. So if you go

397
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: back and look at a screenshot of that play, they

398
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: are literally on the sideline. The defenders for the forty

399
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: nine ers say, hey, you're not getting out of bounds. Okay,

400
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: where the other guys that, Well, the other guys are

401
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: going to be along that end zone line to say,

402
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: you're not throwing the ball in the end zone, So

403
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: you're not It made like a little like an open

404
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: ended rectangle. Well, yeah, the open indirectangle where you're not

405
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: getting out of bounds, you're not getting in an end zone.

406
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 1: So I am not against the play call. The time

407
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,959
Speaker 1: management aspect of it just has to be tightened up

408
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 1: because you're hopeful in that situation that you could throw

409
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: a ball across the middle. Any other team's gonna throw

410
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: a ball across the middle because that's where's vacant at

411
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: and then they're gonna hurry them get up to the

412
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: ball and they're gonna spike it because now they're closer,

413
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: and now that playbook opens up. Now those guys can't

414
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: defend the goal line like they could back forty yards ago.

415
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: Now they have to defend the goal line twenty yards away.

416
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: And guess where my guys could get there in a

417
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: quick fast, in a hurry. So it just didn't work out, right.

418
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: I am not against a play call at all. It

419
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense when you look at it strategically.

420
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: It just didn't work out. And there's no guarantee even

421
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 1: if they do get the spike off and there's one

422
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: second left that they convert and they get into that situation.

423
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: You got to keep that in mind too. They were rolling,

424
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: the momentum was there, but at the same time, you

425
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 1: had to convert on a miracle play after that to

426
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: have something happen as well. It was frustrating from beginning

427
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: to end. The Cowboys put themselves in a tough stitue

428
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,959
Speaker 1: and allowed for that scenario to play out, and they

429
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: ultimately fall to the forty nine ers twenty three to seventeen.

430
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: Let's take our first break. When we come back, Let's

431

Speaker 1: of the season, who is to blame and where do

433

Speaker 1: no more for Rob Phillips real quick, because I just

481
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: I want to amend what I said in the first

482
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: segment about that last spot. Man Dak got bumped. He

483
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 1: got bumped bad, and we're seeing new footage of it. Yeah,

484
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 1: another angle and like what Dak said was in practice

485
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: when they've got officials there, it's just a quick pat.

486
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: It wasn't this pick up, put down, pick back up

487
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: and put it in a different direction where it already

488
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: was in a souplex like WW style you know where. God, Yeah,

489
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: that's I understand why they thought more time, But I mean,

490
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: why is this guy coming from thirty yards away? What

491
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: is he doing? What is he That's the other thing.

492
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: Why did it take so long? Yes, yeah, I'm out

493
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 1: he's hauling. But hot put the ball down. When Dad

494
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: got the ball to be Hodest put the ball down,

495
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: there was three seconds left on the clock. The referee

496
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: then takes the ball, puts it underneath be Hodest just

497
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,479
Speaker 1: to bring it back, and then backs out of the way.

498
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: That whole process right there too. Three seconds. Three seconds.

499
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: So now New York, New York. I don't know how

500
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 1: New York the reviews things and how they overrule, but

501
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: if they have the power to do that, they should

502
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: have done that. I don't know how that operation works, though,

503
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 1: Usually you would from when the official touched the ball, right,

504
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: it would start from there, so it'd be three seconds,

505
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: and then you would snap it and you'd spike it,

506
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: so that'd probably take it down to one. That's I mean,

507
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: once again, it goes back to what we said in

508
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 1: the first segment. Cowboys shouldn't have been in that situation

509
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: in the first place. Penalties, bad run, defense, slow start,

510
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: all of those things led to that situation. And then

511
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: it wasn't even a guarantee if they would have had

512
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: that spike, If they would have found the end zone

513
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: on the next play either. However it does. It is

514
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: frustrating to look at it both because we're looking at

515
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: the all twenty two and then we're also looking at

516
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 1: the close ups of the way that the official bumped

517
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: into Dak Prescott and Tylely. Be honest, you ran through

518
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: both of them and we're being honest. Uh. And I

519
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: took a steel shot right here and cool head of

520
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: steam he did. He might want to put some pads on.

521
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 1: I took a steel shot. The referee has his hand

522
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: on the ball with three seconds left. Hm, that's tough.

523
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: So to the Pool report with referee Alex Kemp said,

524
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: the umpire spotted the ball properly and he spotted it

525
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 1: three times. It's so funny if you watch it. No,

526
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: I knows the ball right times, you're right, and that's

527
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: how it goes. But wow, we'll talk about that, I'm

528
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: sure a couple more times throughout the week. Is unfortunate, man,

529
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: Reports and stuff come out and we'll see what ends

530
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: up happening. But what happened on the offensive side of

531
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: the football the back half of the season. Where is

532
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: the weakness? What went wrong? Who is to blame. Uh hackma,

533
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: I'll start with you on this holding call on Connor Williams.

534
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: Up there we go, Dad, What do you want? Is that?

535
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: What's the blame? I don't know. Just just it's somewhere.

536
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: Conor Williams is holding. I don't know. I just wanted

537
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: to go ahead and say it. Connor Williams just holding somewhere.

538
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: Let's go. Who is the blame for the offensive performance yesterday? Yeah,

539
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put this one where it needs to go,

540
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: and that's on Keller Moore. Uh, Keller Moore called a

541
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: shit hey game yesterday, and it was. It was pretty bad, um,

542
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 1: and Dak looked bad. And y'all know that I'm I'm

543
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: I'm all for for what I'm all for for. Y'all

544
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: know I defend for with my life, you know, and

545
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 1: I will I will argue you down. I know about

546
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: my dad. We do it all the time. But he

547
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 1: looked bad yesterday. Man, he was. He was missing missing throws,

548
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 1: throws were off. The one interception, man, that that was

549
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: that was horrible. That was a bad that was bad

550
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: read bad play. Um. But just you know, we talked

551
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: all year long about Connor. Now excuse me, Connor's on

552
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: my mind. But uh, guys, this is hard, okay, Kelly Moore,

553
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,360
Speaker 1: As we talked about him being in his bag all

554
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: year and play development and structure, it just we didn't

555
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 1: have any of that man going away from the running

556
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 1: game the way that we did and we were never

557
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: out of it, you know. It just we just did

558
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 1: not go back to Tony Pollard at all. I mean,

559
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: And that's the part to me when we're trying to

560
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 1: when you see the way that Dak was getting sacked with,

561
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 1: you know, backs out of the backfield, we did not

562
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: go to any of those things that would have gotten

563
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 1: us some momentum in this game at all. And when

564
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: it really what it boils down to, it's just ceedee

565
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: lamb Amari Cooper. These guys have got to be scratching

566
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 1: their heads right now about what can we do, what

567
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: do we have to do to put this team in

568
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: position to be successful because we didn't have any of

569
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: that man, We didn't We just didn't. Offense wasn't there.

570
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 1: There is a lot of self evaluation that needs to

571
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 1: take place this offseason. I've been saying it for a

572
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: very long time, and I've been cursed out by heck,

573
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: I've been cursed out by Calboy's Nation, by everybody right

574
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: by being too critical. Dak has not been an accurate

575
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: passer this year, regardless of what his stats show. And

576
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: I've stood on my own little amount to the top

577
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 1: and said that he and that showed up last night,

578
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: and I hope everybody can see that, and I hope

579
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: he can see that, because I know he's gonna he's

580
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: gonna watch this film one thousand times to try to

581
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 1: pick a part in and address those problems as offseason.

582
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: That's what competitors do, and I have no doubts that

583
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: he'll do that. But this year showed up last night.

584
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: Dak wasn't accurate. Kelly Moore was unwilling to commit to

585
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: the run game. Kelly Moore was was unwilling to put

586
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: his team in situations to get first downs by just

587
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: working their way down the field. You go back and

588
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: watch the watch the film. Forty Niners were playing Cover

589
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: four and Cover three almost the entire night. Cover four

590
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: is two high safeties, and the cornerbacks were playing eight

591
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: to twelve yards off but instead of running a five

592
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: yard route and taking the easy throw as if the

593
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: finders were never even on the field, he still wants

594
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: to push the ball down the field. Right, Dak didn't

595
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: acknowledge the fact of hot routes. I'm not sure if

596
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: they have hot routes in their in their in their offense,

597
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: you would think so. Right. But when they went three

598
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: by one sets or even three by two sets and

599
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,239
Speaker 1: empty sets, the inside receiver or whether it be most

600
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: of the time it was Dalton Shots had no man

601
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: over him. Instead, that man that's supposed to be responsible

602
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: for him was a linebacker which was four yards inside,

603
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: sitting in the box playing the run when he had

604
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: what we called that in football and uncovered. Dalton shows

605
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: a lot of times was uncovered last night, and they

606
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: were unwilling that Cowboys were to simply take the easy

607
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: short for sure thing passed because they were giving you

608
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: that they were on the last drive. Absolutely, it took long.

609
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: It took too long, but that that was available all game.

610
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: If they would have went to Dalton Shots like they

611
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: should have, he would have had a hundred fifty yards

612
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: receiver off of five yard passes and they didn't do

613
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: it would have forced San Francisco to make it, to

614
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: make adjustment, they would have to make it just did

615
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: make that change, because they did do it on the

616
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: final drive and they absolutely got to that point. And

617
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: if you take what the d defense gives you there,

618
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: that's the reason why Tom Brady's so dangerous. Right, Everybody's like,

619
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: how is Tom so good? He's one hundred and seventy

620
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: two years old, how is he so dug good? Tom

621
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: doesn't force anything you want. You want to play off

622
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: cool running back, thank you, tight end, thank you. Whatever

623
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: you want to give us, we'll take it. And then

624
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: when you try to make an alteration, right, you try

625
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: to make an adjustment to stop that. Now I got

626
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: my matchups. Now you gotta roll your coverage and you

627
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: gotta go single high safety, and now I get Coop

628
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: and Ceedee Lamb by themselves. Now I can let my

629
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: boys work. But as long as I'm not gonna run

630
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: the ball versus too high, I'm not running the ball

631
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: versus two high. There's literally seven men in the box.

632
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: That's what you want as an offense. Give me six

633
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: and seven men in the box. I'll run that ball

634
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: all dog on day. Dallas won't do it. Kellamore. That's

635
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: not as natural, that's not as instinct. Right, we talked

636
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: about this last week. Right, It's instinct is what throw

637
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: the ball because I'm from Boise State and I like

638
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: to throw the ball, right Shanahan will Clothley, we say

639
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:55,239
Speaker 1: he was cut from the running running cloth the round. Yea.

640
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: So it's it's it's a lot of self evaluation and

641
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: everybody has to take responsibility. CD and Coop they there

642
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: was they didn't play their best game either. Now they

643
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: didn't get the opportunities that they want it right, but

644
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: they didn't play their best game either. There's plenty of

645
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: opportunities there where they didn't sit in the right hole

646
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: where they were coming out, and it made Dac look

647
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: like he threw a bad ball when in reality they

648
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: should have been sitting because it was zone all night long. Yeah,

649
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: you guys are right. I think this game was a

650
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: microcosm of what we've seen denver on with the exception

651
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: of certain games against teams that are poor defensively. So yeah,

652
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: you got to be able to scheme things up and

653
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: adjust if you're killing Moore Dak twenty three or forty

654
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: three with that interception, not a good game from him, clearly,

655
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: the run game three point seven yards of carry. We

656
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: found out last night that Zeke specifically playing with a

657
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: partially torn PCL. And I understand there's plays where in

658
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: past protection they need him on the field. You know,

659
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: he's he's the best at doing that. But Tony Pollard

660
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: four carries in this game. I just I don't understand that.

661
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: And I think the other thing to me that really

662
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: stands out with this this offense down the stretches the

663
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: offensive line. I mean, I know Dak didn't play well,

664
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: but he got sacked five times. He got hit fourteen

665
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: times by San Francisco. They have not won the line

666
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: of scrimmage consistently for ten eleven weeks, yep. And it's

667
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: it's been a huge factor in their struggles offensively. And

668
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: when you're looking towards the draft, I'm looking somewhere at

669
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: the offensive I mean, yeah, Connor Williams is a free agent.

670
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: They've got to add something to this offensive line. Welcome

671
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: into the Dallas Cowboys dot Com YELP show. I'm kind,

672
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: but yeah, no, you're right. I think offensive line certainly

673
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: is a place on that offense that needs to see

674
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: an immediate impact. And there were plays yesterday where Dak

675
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: Prescott had open receivers and had chances and yeah, it's

676
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: not all yeah, all that's not it's not all on

677
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: the line. But yeah, but even that has to be

678
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: in the back of his head. No, I know, even

679
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 1: on plays where it's schemed up right and you miss

680
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: a guy, you miss a receiver here. I know there

681
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: was one of Ceedee Lamb late in the game that

682
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: I really liked him. Might have turned into six if

683
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: he would have hit him. He didn't. There was a

684
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: little bit of a frustration on CD's face. But maybe

685
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: that's in the back of his head. Maybe he knows,

686
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,479
Speaker 1: because what if we talked about all season long with

687
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: other quarterbacks, it's not the edge pressure that's annoying, it's

688
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: the interior pressure. And where is the pressure coming for

689
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott in his face? Right in his face. Yeah,

690
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: And like I don't have this esoteric evaluation of Dak's

691
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: performance yesterday. I just felt as though, especially when you

692
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: two safeties high cover four that's pop wanna coverage. And

693
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: when you have guys that are running free in the

694
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: tape shows that you missed them. You just didn't hit them,

695
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: you didn't see it. That's a problem. That's a problem,

696
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: and we could put a lot on Kelly Moore as well,

697
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: but the Dak's guy has to shoulder some of the blame.

698
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: And right now they're watching the film if they didn't

699
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 1: last yes last night and just saying, oh my god.

700
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's Dalton's shows running all by himself

701
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: and he's found got found his way. They tried to

702
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: scheme up and hide a lot of the coverage that

703
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:03,959
Speaker 1: they but they they didn't do a lot of it.

704
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 1: They only blitzed once yesterday. One time they did exactly

705
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: and their supreme confidence in their front, to me is

706
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: what is so troubling because we're gonna say every week, oh,

707
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:21,760
Speaker 1: we have an elite offensive line, elite where Nick Bosa

708
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: went out and I thought the pressure got cranked up

709
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: after he went out, thank you. I said, well damn

710
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: did Nick come back? Yeah? Did he come back? It

711
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: was crazy. So I think the best way to sum

712
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: it up because we all hit different points. It's everything.

713
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: It's been disjointing, it's it's and they've had stretches where

714
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: it looks like they got out of it. I mean

715
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: week eighteen, regardless who they were playing, they looked like

716
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: the offense they can be. But we we have not

717
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: we have not seen it. I gotta ask this question,

718
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: after the the fake punt and the delay a game,

719
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: after the fake punt, what was that? What what was

720
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,800
Speaker 1: the what was what were we? What were we? What

721
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,479
Speaker 1: was the point of that? You get the us down?

722
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: All right, mission accomplished, bring your offense back out? What

723
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: does it come on? Pete being helped me here? Okay,

724
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: they wanted they wanted to substitute, right, but well so

725
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: Anger said that told us what they were trying to do.

726
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: After the game, they did have a play on for them. Okay,

727
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 1: they're not gonna They didn't tell us what the play was. Okay,

728
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 1: but they wanted to do is get they had the

729
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: other They had fifteen players on the field, meaning San Francisco.

730
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: They shouldn't have held the ball up. They did because

731
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: they didn't substitute. So they can go in because San

732
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: Francisco was substituting their defense back on the field. Right,

733
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 1: but they can't do that. What do you mean you're

734
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: saying they were substituting their defense, but we had so

735
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 1: we they held us up. We should have been able

736
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: to snap the ball when they had fifteen players on

737
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: the on the field exactly. So they held us up.

738
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,280
Speaker 1: That was the that was the play call that the

739
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,280
Speaker 1: referee should not have held us up. That's what happened.

740
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,240
Speaker 1: And then he moved like two seconds when like two seconds,

741
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 1: and then we get a delay of yeah, and then

742
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: it was there right, Yeah, it's really that was yeah.

743
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: I think I think what they're trying to do is

744
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 1: their information ready to go and they should have thrown

745
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 1: the flag because they had too many, too many men

746
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 1: on the field. McCart sorry, Chris McCarthy said, I think

747
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: we had a players step on the field in celebration

748
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: after the fake punt. They recognized that. I was told

749
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 1: afterwards as we were trying to substitute, because obviously we

750
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: didn't substitute because we lined up immediately, so then there

751
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: was confusion after that. So that's where they were trying

752
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 1: to do. That's very odd. It was, I mean, it

753
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: was an interesting play and it didn't go in favor,

754
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,919
Speaker 1: but two false starts, two false starts in a row

755
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: at home, I mean, just things like that. The penalties

756
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: fourteen for eighty nine, a franchise record and penalties in

757
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 1: a playoff game. And my question is how many seconds

758
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: went off of the clock with that play? You know

759
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: that this I don't know, man. So much of this

760
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: game seemed weird. This was a weird game from the beginning.

761
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: The rhythm of this game was just off everything. The

762
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,240
Speaker 1: defense just did not seem there. We didn't we couldn't

763
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: get any pressure on Jimmy g And we talk about

764

Speaker 1: don't do me like that. But we don't need to

826

831
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,359
Speaker 1: year with that. Yeah, we'll go the next season next year.

832
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: Yea off season is here. I'm not gonna blow that.

833
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 1: Are you guys ready? No? No, no, no, no, we

834
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: were expecting couple. It's frustrating. Let's frustrating me because the

835
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: defense had their handsful. But the defense played well enough.

836
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: I'll put it that way. I agree the defense played

837
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 1: well enough. They had their handsful. They know what you're

838
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: gonna get. But they played well enough. If you look

839
00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 1: at the other offenses that were are in the same hemisphere, ye,

840
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 1: right as the Dallas Cowboys. What did they do in

841
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:09,720
Speaker 1: their playoff games? Tore it up, tore it Kansas City, Buffalo, Tampa, Tampa,

842
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: ripped it all of them. How many points they scored

843
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:18,720
Speaker 1: forty plus Dallas Cowboys seventeen and you needed you needed

844
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,439
Speaker 1: seven of those to come after an interception in short field,

845
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:26,320
Speaker 1: you needed twenty four points. That's from the number one offense.

846
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 1: That's my thing. And and look, I mean look, their

847
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: run game did what they wanted to do. They got

848
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:32,760
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy yards on the ground and Deebo

849
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: Samuel all the Yaks out. I mean that was as advertised,

850
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 1: but still twenty twenty three points. And the defense get

851
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: you a takeaway late that leads to a touchdown. Every

852
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 1: time you needed them to either force a field goal

853
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: or to get you the ball back late, they did so.

854
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: I mean, they're sure. There was the three play scenario

855
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 1: where the sack from DJ Jones Dak Prescott taken down.

856
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:00,760
Speaker 1: This is in the third quarter. They were down sixteen

857
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,879
Speaker 1: to seven. At the time Dad got sacked. Next play

858
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 1: he was pressured. Then Kawan Williams came over the top

859
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 1: and had that interception, and then the next play Deebo

860
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: Samuel's run. It ran it in for twenty six yards

861
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 1: out the bang bang bang, three straight plays from the

862
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. Outside of that, from the first quarter on,

863
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 1: I thought the defense played really well. It was that

864
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: one twenty six yard run late that really they made adjustments.

865
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: The defense made adjustments to offense barely made adjustments. I mean,

866
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: like I just finishing on rob piece some stuff. This

867
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: should have been a routes on air day. It should

868
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: have been a said what did he call it? I

869
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: would have even go nine on seven drill all day

870
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: long offensively in turns of running the ball. You run

871
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: a nine on seven drill and practice so that you

872
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 1: can get your running scheme going, and then you go

873
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:46,839
Speaker 1: seven on seven and routes on air to get your

874
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: past game going in practice until you do the full

875
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: team drills. Right, you're know all about a Robbie. That's

876
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 1: what it should have been last night. It should have

877
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: been a clinic of running the ball because they wanted

878
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,359
Speaker 1: to be too high when they wanted to go single high.

879
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: You should have torched him, just like you did with

880
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: a Marie Cooper on that. It leaves you man no

881
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: man atch ups when they want to go too high

882
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 1: in defense. Guess what I could torch you all day

883
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: long outside because you're playing eight yards off a Ceedee

884
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 1: Lamb and a Marie freaking Cooper. How dare you? How

885
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: dare you play seven eight yards off a Marie Cooper

886
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: and Cede Lamb? Are you serious? All right, I don't

887
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: need to run body. I'm giving the ball right now

888
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 1: and let them. Let them show you what they do

889
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: with jack yardage, calling Mariot some more to do. I'm

890
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 1: frusture because when you think about the other high caliber

891
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: offices in this league, there's no question mark. If you say,

892
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: can you score me twenty four points? Josh allen In,

893
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: come on man, especially Mahomes, Come on man, Tom Brady,

894
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: come on man, that's playing that soft in coverage and

895
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: we didn't give them anything to think about and you

896
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 1: say nine on seven, Hell, I'm just thinking half lines.

897
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: Rig Yeah, you know, we gotta put there has to

898
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,760
Speaker 1: be some pride put into running the ball, and especially

899
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 1: when you're not out of the game, and you just

900
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: need a couple of first downs to change swing the momentum,

901
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 1: change the field. We just couldn't get that part of it.

902
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: Six man boxes, heckma, six man boxes. You have five

903
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 1: officsive alignment, six man box, seven man box, you feel good?

904
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: Six man box. That should be taking canny from a baby.

905
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 1: They refuse to commit to the row we say in

906
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: the pregame last show. But as I say, commit, just commit.

907
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 1: That was your key, That was my key to number

908
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,359
Speaker 1: one thing. Commit to the run. Unwilling to do so.

909
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: That is something that has to be addressing. In Yes,

910
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:26,840
Speaker 1: the offensive line playing a bunch of other stuff has

911
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,359
Speaker 1: to be addressed, but but it starts with the leadership. Man,

912
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 1: It starts with leadership. You have to put us in

913
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: position to be successful, and that was not the case

914
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 1: last night. Cowboys Nation, y'all have every reason to be

915
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 1: pissed off. Things have to be addressed. This team will

916
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: not look like this next year. That sorry for That's

917
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:48,240
Speaker 1: the thing. And Jerry was understandably visibly upset. Extremely extremely

918
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: disappointing is what he said. And I think part of

919
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: his frustration, a large part is what you just said,

920
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 1: Like there's a lot of impending free agents. They got

921
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: decisions to make who they have coaches, Yeah, got two

922
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,439
Speaker 1: quarters naters up for jobs and other places. I've lost

923
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,919
Speaker 1: count of how many teams want to interview them. So

924
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 1: it's going to be a different team. He yeah. I

925
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: think that's the other disappointing thing is is that I

926
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: was really pulling for these guys that have had these years,

927
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: these relationships. I mean Dak and Zeke, uh Tank and Randy,

928
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: these guys have been playing together for a very long time.

929
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 1: And you know, when you have this kind of talent

930
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 1: and people throw so much shade of Jerry and all that,

931
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: but he did everything to get this roster together, and

932
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,800
Speaker 1: this was the most talented roster that you could put together,

933
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 1: and healthy and healthy, all these things, and so I

934
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:41,720
Speaker 1: feel I feel bad for those guys that have worked

935
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 1: so hard to get to this point and then to

936
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: go out there and laying I don't want to say

937
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: laying an egg. I feel bad for j because as

938
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 1: a man in his position, what are you also? What

939
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 1: are you supposed to do? I put together the perfect roster.

940
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 1: I put together the perfect roster. Training staff did the

941
00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: amazing job of getting all the guys healthy, I gave

942
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: two coaches that have won super Bowls on the roster right,

943
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: head coaching assistant head coaches. Two coaches that have won

944
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 1: the Super Bowls and know how to win it and

945
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 1: how to lose it, right, and they have both perspectives.

946
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 1: What else is Jerry supposed to do? Yeah, everybody out

947
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 1: there like they need to replaces. Jerry did everything he

948
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: needed to do to put this organization in a position

949
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: to be successful at his position. Right now he is strapped.

950
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: I don't know what else to do. I can't put

951
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 1: together a better coaching staff, I can't put together a

952
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 1: better roster. And next year is not going to be

953
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 1: this good. I'm sorry, the roster will not be this

954
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 1: good next year. So a couple of things. First off,

955
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: just based on your point, think about the way this

956
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 1: was felt, This had felt going into the playoffs. Going

957
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: into that matchup, you thought, what about it? Not only

958
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,399
Speaker 1: do you get a couple shots going into playoffs right

959
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,359
Speaker 1: throughout a player's career in a certain amount of time,

960
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:47,360
Speaker 1: but you felt like this had a chance to be

961
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 1: special year. So that shows exactly what the roster makeup

962
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 1: and the health and everything the situation was there for

963
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,360
Speaker 1: the Cowboys to take it, and they didn't. They just

964
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 1: plain simple did not the opportunity. Secondly, based off of

965
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 1: your fact on saying that the roster is gonna look different,

966
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,879
Speaker 1: twenty two unrestricted free agents for the Cowboys. You're ready

967
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 1: for this list? Come on, Randy Gregory, Michael Gallup, Connor Williams,

968
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz, Doran's Armstrong, Jaron Curse, Layton vander esh Key O'Neill,

969
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 1: Cedric Wilson, Demante Kzy, Carlos Watkins, Malie Cooker, Noah Brown,

970
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:17,399
Speaker 1: so on and so forth. I mean, I don't even

971
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 1: really want to keep on at the game. Yeah, Like,

972
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 1: like you know, Layton's kind of become a big brother

973
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 1: to me, and man, I don't know if I would

974
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: play with him again, And because he's an unrestricted guy,

975
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 1: Layton is and so the other part of it too

976
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 1: is I want to say Stephen said this. I could

977
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:32,879
Speaker 1: be wrong. I'm pretty sure he's sit on the radio.

978
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 1: I know we're run out of time, but there's a

979
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:39,280
Speaker 1: window when you have great young players on rookie contracts.

980
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,840
Speaker 1: And I know there's some years left with Mike on

981
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:44,839
Speaker 1: his rookie deal, but Trayvon's got he's I think he's

982
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 1: eligible for an extension after next season. Like there's a window.

983
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you saw it, the paid Dak, the big money.

984
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 1: It's not gonna look the same with the pie all

985
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: the time. So there, they missed out on a huge

986
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:59,800
Speaker 1: opportunity this year. From that perspective, they did They definitely

987
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:03,319
Speaker 1: did it. It's frustrating. It's frustrating for the fans. Noably so,

988
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 1: it's frustrating for those across the room. It's frustrating for

989
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 1: us and here at the Cowboys Fall twenty three to seventeen.

990
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: But before we go, there are a lot of people

Speaker 1: that are watching this show and listening to this show

992
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 1: that probably don't normally listen, just based off of the

993
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 1: frustration that is there. I want to let you know
