Welcome to the latest edition of The Break. 10 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: Clear life in that s WBC mortgage studios at the 11 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: Star were resented by Miller like the only beer of 12 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys in today, we have to in the season, 13 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: oh Man, hopefully ended better than the Cowboys did. Cowboys 14 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 1: to lose on the Road to Washington twenty six to twenty. 15 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, twenty six to six. That would actually been 16 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: a more interesting game twenty six to twenty, but no, 17 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 1: it was twenty six to six. And uh, you know, 18 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: I'll open the show first today with asking you guys 19 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: just the general question what happened? Well, I mean that 20 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: called it right, that called it crappy. We had, Yeah, 21 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,479 Speaker 1: we had to bleep it out for the post game. 22 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: You can't use crap on the radio. I think we 23 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 1: know he used the word when I was in there. 24 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: He said crappy, but I guess I missed the first part. 25 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: He missed the first word. Yeah, yeah, yeah, as I wrote, 26 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 1: it rhymes with gritty, which they were not. So they 27 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: got their ass kicked, as as McCarthy said, they got 28 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: punched in the mouth and they got their ass kicked. 29 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: And I don't think they were they were mentally prepared 30 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: to play. So you gotta put that on the coach. Um, 31 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: you know, they said they were they lied to us 32 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: or or they you know. And then he comes back 33 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,079 Speaker 1: said they're human. But whatever, they didn't play well they 34 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: got and they but they do have some issues. I 35 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: think that are going to lead into the playoffs. I mean, 36 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: they can't run the ball. I think Dak played his 37 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: worst game since the first game of the season, and um, 38 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: you know, they still got issues at corner, especially now 39 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: if Blands banged up. I think Bland's gonna be okay 40 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 1: for you. Good. Yeah, I think Bland's gonna be okay 41 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: for you. H yeah, just what I got late late 42 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: last night, So I think Bland's gonna be okay for you. Um, 43 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: what's disappointing and a a little bit disheartening is it was 44 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: a game that you had to go out and if 45 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: you're going to have any chance of winning the division, 46 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: you had to go out and win. You know, at least, 47 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: you know, you never gave yourself a decision to pull guys. 48 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: I mean you never felt good. I'll tell you I 49 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: felt good about the defense at least getting put in 50 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: some terrible situations. And you know the quarterback we talked about, 51 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: you know, the rookie quarterback. I mean, he made a 52 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 1: mistake throwing the ball. He just does one of those 53 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: plays they run it in practice and he throws it in. 54 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: It never gets intercepted, the play is always a touchdown 55 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: and all that. So he threw it with confidence that 56 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: it wasn't be in a triple coverage. But that's really 57 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: what it came down to. But yeah, your defense got 58 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: thrown in some terrible situations yesterday and kind of held 59 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: you in that football game. We all know they can't 60 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: run the football, and they can't run the football. I 61 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: really do believe this is they have these breakdowns and 62 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: it's not always with what goes on with Martin and 63 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: Smith over on that right side. It wasn't a good 64 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: game for McGovern It really really wasn't. And then you know, 65 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: and they tried to run some creative stuff, their little 66 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: reverse runs and stuff like that. They couldn't get Peters 67 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: on the outside to get a block. I mean they 68 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: I think the running aspect of it is the right idea. 69 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: The execution of like, Okay, well there's a hole. Why 70 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: didn't the back cut it this way when it's blocked that? 71 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: You know, does he see a flash of a white 72 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: jersey there? Does it keep them inside? When he shoot 73 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: a backounced the ball to the outside. But you got 74 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: some guys yesterday they to Nick's point, physically got beat 75 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: up a little bit. And and a lot of that 76 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: has to do with you know, with you know, and 77 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: it having to Martin. I mean, I mean Ridgeway, who 78 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: you drafted like back to back plays, was just throwing 79 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: guys around and making tackles there. So that aspect of 80 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: it is really really disappointing. Whender why they don't run 81 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: the ball, it's they do not sustain any blocks at 82 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: the point of attack. They just have not. And I 83 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: think you missed that with steal with him and that 84 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 1: ability to kind of get things sealed off so they 85 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: could at least cut the ball. They have no ability 86 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: to even cut the ball anymore. And that's I think 87 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: that's killing them a little bit in the running game 88 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 1: right now. I thought the protection was okay. Your quarterback 89 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: just didn't wasn't very accurate. I don't think he saw 90 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: the field particularly well. Yesterday. The receivers clearly weren't open. 91 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: They just could not get any separation on the outside. 92 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,359 Speaker 1: They doubled Lamb a couple of different times. That forced 93 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: Dack to have to throw the ball to other people. 94 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 1: Gallop doesn't look really comfortable catching the ball. Brown doesn't 95 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: look comfortable catching the ball. So yeah, I mean, you've 96 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: got a lot of issues on that offense right now. 97 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: That's kind of a little bit of a problem there 98 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: for you. Me personally, I don't really know how to 99 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: feel right now, Like I keep going back and forth, 100 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 1: and McCarthy mentioned he took the blame on himself and said, 101 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: you know, I put it on me, and we just 102 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: need to practice better so it comes out you would 103 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: say preparation. But I still have a problem with that 104 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: because you can talk about preparation and then come out 105 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: and play like crap first half. But how are you 106 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: not able to do absolutely anything in the second half? 107 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 1: Just whatever, during halftime, regroup, do what you need to 108 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: come out and do something that's better than what you've 109 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: been doing in the first half. So that and that's 110 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: remembering like Washington wasn't even doing a whole lot, Like 111 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: if Washington should have had way more score more points 112 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: on the scoreboard than they did. They didn't even take 113 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: advantage of every mistake mistake that Dallas did. So they 114 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: were in the red zone five times, by the way, Yeah, yeah, yeah, 115 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 1: it's crazy. And then I think it was like ten 116 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: times that the Colways went three and out. That's ridiculous. 117 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 1: It wasn't that's embarrassing. It's absolutely ridiculous that you were 118 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: so inefficient, like nothing. It was embarrassing. And everybody keeps 119 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: saying this was an embarrassing game. And the thing is 120 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: you go back to other games where they've lost or 121 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: even one, and they even times that they played bad, 122 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: they come out and do something that gives you some 123 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 1: kind of hope. You're like, well they were able to 124 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: do this or maybe you know, in the second half 125 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: they were able to start moving the ball and nothing 126 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 1: was working. The running game was absolutely gone, which is 127 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: one of my main concerns going into next week. It's like, uh, 128 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: it's completely and that's now. How many games are we 129 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: on now? For they haven't been able to last the 130 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: last three. I mean when you look at when you 131 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: look at it, though, they didn't run the ball against Philadelphia, 132 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: surely against Tennessee you didn't run the ball. And then 133 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: this last week you've played three teams in a row. 134 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: They're not gonna let you run the ball. And by 135 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: the way, you got one coming up, it's not gonna 136 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: let you run the ball. Yeah. So that's that's a 137 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: big concern of mine and we'll see. You know, part 138 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: of me I'm like, okay this in a way, I know, 139 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: I hate to say this. I'm not happy or glad 140 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: to see them lose or anything like that, but in 141 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: a way it makes me have a little bit more 142 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: hope that they will prepare a lot better for this week. 143 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: They're they're gonna be mad and upset and just the 144 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: preparation wise, they're gonna be more upset how this game went. 145 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: Because if it was like one of those games where 146 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: they kind of play good bad then they end up 147 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: with the way and it's like, okay, well they still 148 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: managed to win, but the fact that they were so 149 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: embarrassed by the way they played against the team like Washington, 150 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: against that quarterback, and still the defense wasn't able to 151 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: give you as much as you And I'm sorry Brian 152 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: the quarterback. I mean, he wasn't that great at instance, 153 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: Like you know, I've seen plays and he did a 154 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: couple of things, but at the end of the day, 155 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: he was still making mistakes and the Cowboys defense wasn't 156 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: able to take advantage of that either, and the pressure 157 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: wasn't there. So it's just I expected a lot more. Well, 158 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: you know, I think the thing about it is, I 159 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: mean I think really the key here they weren't prepared. 160 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: And to me, the preparation also showed itself in the 161 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: fact that there were so many just mistakes, unforcedairs, you 162 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: got the punter dropping the ball, you got muff punts, 163 00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: you've got bad snap on extra point. There's there's just 164 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: all these things that to me, what it represented for me, Nick, 165 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: you talk about it all the time. What were you 166 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: doing on Wednesday and Thursday? And it felt to me, like, 167 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: this team on Wednesday and Thursday of last week felt like, 168 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: of course we're gonna win this game. And Seed even 169 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 1: said it after the game, he was like, we all 170 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: win this game. Thing, we were gonna win, and we 171 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 1: didn't show up and play like that. And so it 172 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 1: says to me they felt like, well, Washington isn't playing 173 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 1: a lot of their guys, so we should be able 174 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,079 Speaker 1: to roll the ball out there, get a couple scores, 175 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: wrap it all up, and head onto the bust and 176 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: headoff into the playoffs. And that's not what Washington planning 177 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: to do. Washington came out, gave him their best effort, 178 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: and Dallas on the flip side, was not prepared. And 179 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: that's how you get a game like what we saw yesterday. Well, 180 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: the Commanders lost their playoffs shot the week before because 181 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: they played like Dallas played against the Browns and then 182 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: you know, they made a switch at quarterback and that 183 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: killed him and that you know, they they totally, you know, 184 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: lost everything there as far as that coast. But you 185 00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: know the thing about it is, you know the league 186 00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: is a hole through the whole thing with the Hamlin thing. 187 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: Those players all went through that and some teams handled 188 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,319 Speaker 1: that obviously pretty well getting through it, and other teams didn't. 189 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: And I'm not using it as an excuse, but you 190 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: just don't know. I mean, I'm not I'm not out 191 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: there on the practice field. I'm not in there every 192 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,079 Speaker 1: day in the locker room and listening to the players 193 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: talk about it, and maybe they got affected by it. Maybe, 194 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: like you said, the CD felt like that, hey, we 195 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: just kind of can roll our helmet out there and play. 196 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: But you know, they they they they they just for 197 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: a team that the intent was to go try and 198 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: win the game. If you're intents to go try and 199 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: win the game and you play like that, you're you're 200 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 1: going to get beat in the playoffs in the first 201 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: round if you're intent. Now, it's one thing if you 202 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: rest everybody and say Okay, we're not going to play 203 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 1: and you lose the game. But man for them to 204 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 1: have the intent going in that they were going to 205 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,239 Speaker 1: try and win this football game and play like that, 206 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 1: that's that's a big indictment on this football team. Nick. Yesterday, 207 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: after the game, you were in the locker room amber, 208 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: you were in the locker room as well. What do 209 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: you think was the mood of this team? What would 210 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: you call how would you characterize the mood of the 211 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: team in the locker room postgame, just you know, in general, 212 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: how what was the mood? It definitely was like a 213 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: frustrating loss. It wasn't like, well, all right, you know, 214 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: let's let's get past this and get onto the season. 215 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: It was more like what was that? You know? And 216 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: and you know, as I said on the radio this morning, 217 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: like that's a I mean shocker, but that's that's a 218 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: one of the worst locker rooms, you know. And and 219 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: it's not it's never good, you know, it's it's crammed 220 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,959 Speaker 1: in there and it's not big enough for an NFL team. Um, 221 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: but but it's so it's never a good mood win 222 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: or lose in that locker room. And so you know, 223 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 1: it was just one of those that I think that 224 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: it was. It was so it was such a crappy 225 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: game for them. Um, You're just trying to figure out 226 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: what was going on. And I bet the players are confused, 227 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, because were they were they really 228 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 1: trying to win? I mean, because think about it, you 229 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:03,719 Speaker 1: can say you're trying to win. But Terry McLaren had 230 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,599 Speaker 1: caught like two passes against this team in like three games, 231 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: like he doesn't catch passes and against the Cowboys against Diggs, 232 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: So why is Diggs not on him? If Diggs isn't 233 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: on him, then are you just trying to throw Trayvon 234 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: Mullin out there to see if he can play? Just 235 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: see something? You know? There were some times third and 236 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: five first series, run up the middle to Pollard, here's 237 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: another one fourth and inches. Dak is the guy that's 238 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: supposed to be like, hurry up to the line when 239 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: as Pollard pushed anyone like as Pollard going to be 240 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: the guy that give Dak some some you know. It 241 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 1: just there was just different combinations of lineups that you're 242 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: just thinking, Okay, you say you wanted to win, but 243 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: oh no, you make a good point because with the 244 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: with the score thirteen to six and the second half, 245 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: you're you're looking at Mullen playing left corner. Yeah, you know, 246 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: you're looking at me. You're looking at a lot of 247 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: different guys. They played three different corners yesterday, three different 248 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: left corners yesterday, is what they That's the part that 249 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: doesn't make sense to me. Let's assume for a second 250 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: that maybe they were trying out new things they were 251 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: trying to do all these whatever just figuring stuff out. 252 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: To me, I would rather say, if you're gonna do that, 253 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: then just say, hey, we're not worried about whatever is 254 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,079 Speaker 1: going to happen with the division. We'd rather just sit 255 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,559 Speaker 1: our guys and rest some of our guys, and you 256 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: could test out all those guys, those other guys as 257 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 1: much as you want you run third and five with 258 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: Molie Davis, as much as you want on you know, 259 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: up the middle, like that doesn't matter. You would at 260 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: least had the benefit of taking some guys who maybe 261 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: needed some rest, like a Michael Parsons, and giving them 262 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,599 Speaker 1: some rest. If you're gonna play everybody, then play the 263 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: freaking game, right. Yeah. See the thing, I think greg 264 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: Olson made a really good point. And I know in 265 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: the press box you guys don't get to hear the audio. 266 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: Greg Olsen said, He goes, it's now become a point, 267 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: with the way this game has gone, that you might 268 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: have made it worse. That you know, by playing your 269 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: guys the way you did and trying and keeping Doc 270 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 1: in there and keeping CD, keeping everybody in there, that 271 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: you might have made it worse. You might have created 272 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: even more, doubt more problems you think the Giants have 273 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: that Like, no, you know, But the thing about it is, 274 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:12,079 Speaker 1: what's what really sucks is that Giants game turned into 275 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: a six point game. Yeah, you know, and all of 276 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,439 Speaker 1: a sudden you're kind of going, oh, please, this is 277 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: because Hurt started getting hit in the game, and he 278 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: clearly was not They're not the same when he's getting hit. 279 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: And so now you're sitting there thinking, Oh, if the 280 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: Giants somehow pull this thing out and you're messing around 281 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: and and and and just getting would That's what I'm saying. 282 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: And so to me, I agree with what Nick sand 283 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: Where was the intent of going out there and winning 284 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: this football game? You know it? It looked like to me, 285 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: you were out there with the intent of winning a game, 286 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: and they they just beat you up. I mean they controlled, 287 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: they controlled the line of scrimmage. They let her rookie 288 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: quarterback make a few plays. First plus he ever throws 289 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: in his career, it's a touchdown, you know, he throws it. 290 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: He throws. He throws a bomb on a backup corner, 291 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: a backup, backup corner for thirty something yards to McLaurin 292 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: or more than that down the sidelines, you know, So 293 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: I mean, where was the you know, I don't know. 294 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: I think Nick is onto something like, where were you 295 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: in this game where you where half of you trying 296 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: to play like it looked like it OsO Diggi, Zowa 297 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: and Armstrong were like interested in playing football yesterday and 298 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: everybody else was kind of interested that moan Clark and all, 299 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: you're not a bar. You didn't look like you were 300 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: ready to play football yesterday, you know, I mean no. 301 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: And that's the thing about it is, you know, you 302 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: watch these receivers and the routes and who's open and 303 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: who's not open and who's you know, it's just, you know, 304 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: it's disappointing that that part of it was that you 305 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: just go out there and I didn't know what the mission. 306 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: I thought was to try and go win a football 307 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: game and see what happens with the New York Philadelphia game. 308 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: But nah, that wasn't that wasn't the mission. They're just 309 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: trying to fool us, you know, they're just trying to 310 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: full Tampy and come outig and punch him in the mouth. 311 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: Uh No. You know one thing that I thought was 312 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: interesting that Mica said was I guess him realizing and 313 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: him saying, you know, you're you gotta take advantage I 314 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: forgot the exact quote he said, but basically, you gotta 315 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: take advantage of the now. Like he realizes he's starting 316 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: to notice like he's not gonna stay young. He's starting 317 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: to feel it in his body. He's not gonna stay young. 318 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: And the time is now, and you got to look 319 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: at yourself in the mirror and figure out exactly what 320 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: is that you want as a team and as an 321 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: individual as well. So it's there's literally zero positive of 322 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: that came out of this game. I don't know as 323 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: who would you say of a single person that had 324 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: a good game. Well, the two that I watched it 325 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: like an Osa and Osa and and and then Armstrong, 326 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: they were they were into they were into playing your 327 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 1: game yesterday. Do you have a quiet eleven tackles for 328 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: Gholston too? And yeah, like I didn't think, I don't 329 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: know that was on the radar of eleven. I think 330 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 1: the only positive is if dron Bland is pretty good, 331 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: you know, and I think you'll be fun then that 332 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: that you know, that was one of them. Because you're 333 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: playing the game, you're hoping you don't have any further 334 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 1: injuries for this week because you got to turn around 335 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: and play a physical, you know, the physical team against 336 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: the Tampa So at the same time, you're hoping that 337 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: those guys that you've been missing Hankins, Lvee be hottish. 338 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,360 Speaker 1: You're hoping that they're getting healthier so that you might 339 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: have it right down the middle. Yeah, you're hoping you 340 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,479 Speaker 1: get those guys back because you're gonna need them. You're 341 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 1: gonna need them. You definitely need Hankins and and and Layton. 342 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 1: I think that well, that that's hottish as much too. 343 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: I think yeah, I think too. You need to get 344 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 1: this offensive line back to what it was and not 345 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: what it is right currently the last couple of games, 346 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 1: which is almost that's the weird part from me because 347 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: I actually thought once they had this injury and they 348 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 1: kind of had this new line up out there, I 349 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: was like, Man, this line, I'd be it's hard to 350 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 1: believe you're gonna have three Hall of Famers on an 351 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: offensive line and they won't be at least as good. 352 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 1: But they're not. Right now. It's not there's not much 353 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: cohesion between Smith, Tyrn Smith, and Martin when it comes 354 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: to run blocking. The fourth and one play we saw 355 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: this with Dak was the quarterback sneak kind of into 356 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: the game. I mean I think it was sweat. I 357 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: mean he's just he's just basically not tiring back. Yeah, 358 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: not that happened much. Not the same not the same player, 359 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: not the same player out there playing tackle. And you 360 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 1: know there was a couple of times where the quickness 361 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,360 Speaker 1: got him, you know, he was late to get out. 362 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: It might be because you're playing a road game and 363 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 1: stuff like that. It's like a lot of Dallas fans there, 364 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 1: so maybe it wasn't too loud with Jacksonville. Yeah, it's 365 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,199 Speaker 1: crazy that that that guy. I think we're starting to 366 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: see the I think we're starting to see the end. 367 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 1: I think we're starting to see the end, you know, 368 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: of a guy that and I really believe that I 369 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: thought they would be more powerful over there. It passed. 370 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 1: Protection wise, I think that they do some better things, 371 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: but they miss Steele as a run blocker. Yeah, they 372 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 1: really really do. All right, we're gonna take our first break. 373 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 1: We're gonna come back. We'll dive a little deeper into 374 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: this game, see if there's some things we can kind 375 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: of take from it. We'll do it when we come back. 376 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys dot com Radio.

Like? 425 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: I think so, Teddy bad Luck Cowboys are officially owen one. 426 00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 1: When I when I high five the mascot of their 427 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: team that that could help, we got into so many 428 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: different little I thought that was so hilarious. That made 429 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: my first song. And we first saw him was like 430 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: he was coming and then and then no, Nick, He's 431 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,199 Speaker 1: walking across the field and Nick's like today Teddy and 432 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: Teddy didn't pay attention to him. And then Tuddy's coming 433 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: back and Nick's like, so, what's up? And then he's 434 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: like like he's his whole old friend and comes rolling 435 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: over to Nick high five, let's get a picture, and 436 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 1: the whole thing inside there. Every time he walks or something, 437 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 1: he keeps having to readjustice belly, like he's picking up 438 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,479 Speaker 1: his bell and like readjusting. It's so bad. It's like 439 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: it's like he's like he walks around with like an 440 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: inner tube. Yeah. Well but they just kind of it's 441 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: almost like they stuffed him with like cotton or something, 442 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: but it keeps falling, so he's having to kind of 443 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: pull his belly up. Probably the most solid guy there 444 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: is that those those those mascots have to be in 445 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: great they really do. Yeah, the that's kind of the 446 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 1: only thing that was wrong with their team yesterday though. 447 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: Pretty much. Yeah, everything else works. You were the mascot 448 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: was trying to get everything right yesterday. Everything else worked 449 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: for the day. Yeah, so take that win. This wasn't 450 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 1: the fattest one in that picture either. It's Clote borderline, 451 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 1: it's Clote fair. But they didn't get two tuddies. Yeah three? Yeah? 452 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:32,120 Speaker 1: Was it three? It was like Dak was like, no, no, seriously, 453 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: I'm throwing it at you. You're not gonna catch it, 454 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: do it again, do it again, run it again. There 455 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: you go, you guys, run this back. That wasn't any 456 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: logic on that play. Yeah. The first the first one 457 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: that was amiss. He was trying to throw it. He 458 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 1: was just trying to like he was throwing off his 459 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: back foot and it was like he was trying to 460 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: just throw it maybe to throw it away, and it 461 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: ended up out there. And like you know, Dad's always 462 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 1: going to try and make a play. That's Dak off 463 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 1: back foot trying to throw. The second one is though 464 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: they're playing what they call that cover two look with 465 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 1: the two corner to squats the corners quarters. Responsibility is 466 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: the flat. If they if you run a route to 467 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: the flat, that's that's his play balls right there. That's 468 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: I mean, that's just you know, that's covered two look, 469 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,360 Speaker 1: you know. And I put that in as a five 470 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 1: place to remember. I mean, this is the one that 471 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: Dak probably would have liked. The first guy to catch. 472 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: He intercepts the ball, you'd like to think you'd like 473 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: to think Gallup touches him at the twenty two yard line. 474 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: Then what they've already thrown a pick sly can't make 475 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: it field goal at all. I mean, like, would they 476 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: have even scored, you know, I mean it was it, 477 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: But the second one, the second one was I just 478 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: don't know why you would run an out into a 479 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 1: cover two look with a guy just squatted down the 480 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: end of the sticks. Right. Yeah, it was third, Yeah, 481 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 1: it was third. It was third and five, Okay, okay, yeah, 482 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 1: but I still think it was it was right at 483 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: the sticks. I don't Oh no, that's like to say. 484 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 1: He just he said, we're gonna try and throw this 485 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: ball to the sideline to Noah Brown and hope for 486 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,919 Speaker 1: the best, you know. And the thing about it is, 487 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: you know, it's funny with this this receivers and stuff. 488 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: Even even even t Y Hilton had what a couple 489 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: of drops. I mean, the second one, the long one 490 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: down the sidelines, he get his hands on it. You know, 491 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: we've seen him make long plays like that before. But 492 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: the one inside that he dropped and hit him right. 493 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: I was just a clear drops hit him right in there, 494 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,239 Speaker 1: no hands. Yeah. I mean, you're like, okay, so your 495 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: quarterback's not playing great and you're dropping balls and you're 496 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: not getting open and he's kind of throwing it to 497 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: the other team and you know, it's just I like 498 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: this guy as a person. I really do might Gallo, 499 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:41,640 Speaker 1: but he is demeaner on and off sometimes. I mean 500 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 1: he's there's been things he's kind of said in the 501 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: past where you just think, you know, the fire the dog. 502 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: It's like not always there. Sometimes he makes some great plays, 503 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: and then sometimes it's just kind of whatever, you know, 504 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 1: And and that's I think that's he is. He is 505 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 1: not necessary your typical number two receiver, and he's getting 506 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: paid like it. Yeah, but I think they need more 507 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: from him, They really do that. You've got a guy 508 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: getting one hundred and seven catches on the other side. Yeah, 509 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: I mean, see the thing about it too, is like 510 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: with him, it's just every time it's just like even 511 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 1: the slants and stuff, it's just bad body position. You know. 512 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: It's like he gets caught between do I want to 513 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 1: cradle this thing or do I want to catch it? 514 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 1: And as the ball gets closer, it just makes him 515 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: kind of do weird things with his body to try 516 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,400 Speaker 1: and you know, you're like, it's just not a good 517 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,719 Speaker 1: position to catch the ball. And I'll tell you there 518 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: was one you remember, third down play. It was like 519 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: a third and long play where they throw the ball 520 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: in the middle of the field to Noah Brown and 521 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 1: he's like it's just crushed, like you know, it's not 522 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 1: even close. And this is Doc, this is this is 523 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: what you learn about Doc loves Brown. That's I'm saying, 524 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,159 Speaker 1: Noah Brown, he's going to throw it into the teeth 525 00:26:54,200 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 1: of just disaster. But you've got Lamb and also Shoult 526 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: standing there and you throw it to them. It's a 527 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,679 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a twelve yard game in a first 528 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: down and you're wondering, like, bro, you had it right here. 529 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 1: I mean, and this is where Dak, I think gets 530 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 1: in trouble. I think it's like predetermined, I'm gonna fit 531 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: the ball here and I'm not gonna look it here, 532 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna look it here. And you can 533 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: see during the game that Ceedee Lamb's like looking at 534 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 1: him like palms up, like ooh. There's one time a 535 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 1: two throw another ball where it goes inside and they 536 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 1: run a double move with Lamb and if if Dak 537 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: just hangs with it, just lets him clear, it's gonna 538 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: be a huge play. And he just he's like, nah, 539 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: I'm throw it over here, you know. And the plays 540 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 1: designed to and they get the get what they want, 541 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: but he doesn't throw it to where you know, if 542 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 1: he throws it far enough to the out, it's a 543 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 1: big play. So what do you think? What do you 544 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 1: guys think is happening with Dak? Because I don't think 545 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 1: he's the thing about Dak turnover, let's be freaking him out. 546 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: They are, but let's be honest. There have also been 547 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: some games here in December where he has played really, 548 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: really great football. There have been some games where it's like, 549 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: what the heck was that? And then obviously to see 550 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 1: a game like yesterday where nothing went right, like he 551 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: just had probably his worst performance, as you said, Nick, 552 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 1: since the way he started the season against Tampa. Was 553 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: he bad against Houston in that game for up until 554 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: like for fifty eight minutes the Houston game, we weren't 555 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: very good, right, No, I mean that's exactly. It's been 556 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: kind of up and down. It's been up and down. 557 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: So what do you guys think is going on with 558 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 1: Dak at this mo? I just I mean I wanted 559 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:35,120 Speaker 1: the turnovers I think are huge just because I think 560 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: it's reckless. I think there's just some I mean ball 561 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: clanging off guys, not his fault, but every diame it happens. 562 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 1: We're standing at the podium saying I need to do better, 563 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: I need to do better, and then we get the 564 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: fans calling him on our show last night, on the 565 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: postgame show, going why is it the same speech? Tell me, 566 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: you tell me every week you're doing better, and you're 567 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: not doing better. You're still making some of the same mistakes. 568 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 1: I don't think he sees the field all the time. 569 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: I think he gets fooled. I think he gets in 570 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 1: the games and thinks I can throw it there, and 571 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: he gets fooled on the coverage. I really do. I 572 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: don't think he sees the secondary all the time and 573 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: it comes and goes, Which is maddening because the throw 574 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 1: he made for the touchdown was a great read. He 575 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 1: knew exactly the spacing between the corner and then what 576 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: was going on in the middle of the field and 577 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 1: and and Lamb ran a great route and stopped and 578 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 1: he fired it in there, and you're going, ha, he saw. 579 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: I think that is the one spot in that press 580 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 1: box where we were like great view, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, 581 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: literally you're seeing it from the and you said it 582 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 1: immediate venue. That was that was he hadn't done on 583 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: all this. That's the thing that's the That's the thing 584 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: that's maddening about him is that you see you see 585 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: a throw that he made, maybe with the greatest throws 586 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 1: I've ever seen. I've seen a lot of them. The 587 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: Giants game at the Meadowlands in the season, the Cole 588 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 1: Beasley across the back of the end zone. One of 589 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: the greatest throws I've ever seen in the end zone 590 00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: in my life. I mean, just the way he threw 591 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: that ball. You're like, that's it, that's what he can do. 592 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: And then he does stuff where he throws that on 593 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: that out and things or he doesn't see and you're going, 594 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 1: why wait, wait, you saw that. Why didn't you see that? 595 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: You know? And that I think that's the thing that's 596 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: the It's the inconsistency about how he sees things and 597 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 1: how he reacts to things, and how he executes and 598 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 1: how he throws the ball. You know, his rookie year, 599 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: he wasn't throwing interceptions. He didn't have to. Zeke was 600 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 1: Russia for sixteen hundred yards and he had a lot 601 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: of help. That offensive line was was was protecting him, 602 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: and it was at a point where he could kind 603 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: of throw it to the right guy and all that, 604 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 1: and I just think, now you know, they're not running 605 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: the football very well, and the routes aren't great either. 606 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: Now aren't as good? So are we all right? Back 607 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: to the same conversation we started with, which is without 608 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: Amari Cooper, they just don't I just wish t Y 609 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 1: Hilton wouldn't have dropped those balls yesterday because I'm the 610 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: guy champion in t Y Hilton. Make him plays, and 611 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 1: we've seen him make plays. I worry about Gallop and 612 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: I worry about now Noah Brown, I don't. I think 613 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 1: it's like when when you don't have some success catching 614 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: the ball, and Gallop, I mean, he hasn't had great 615 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: success this year catching the ball. I think he's fighting 616 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: that thing right now and the quarterbacks trying to help him. 617 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 1: But sometimes the ball's here, sometimes it's low, sometimes it's 618 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 1: you know, he threw a ball to Schultz across the field, 619 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 1: and Schultz had the kind of you know, Schultz is 620 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: like throws his hands behind him, put it in front 621 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: of him. Yeah, you know, but I get it. You 622 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 1: don't probably have a lot of confidence that Jason Peters 623 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 1: is going to hold up over here at left tackle, 624 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 1: so I've got to kind of throw the ball that way. Yeah, 625 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 1: it's just there's so many things going on, and this 626 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,239 Speaker 1: offense is good and it could score points and it 627 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: can look great. But when they look bad, they look 628 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: really bad. We talk about we talk about his wings 629 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: from one end. Oh my god. Like, there's only one 630 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: other team I think of right now that's in the 631 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 1: playoffs that's worse than Dallas at that nest Minnesota. Like 632 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: Minnesota can be really great, they could also be extremely bad. 633 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: I don't think else is that bad yet, but certainly 634 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 1: like they're on that trajectory of when they're good, they're good. 635 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: When they're bad, man, it can be just a really 636 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: really poor performance. All right, we're gonna take off. But 637 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 1: I was gonna say I think the fact that they've 638 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 1: been winning games has affected kind of their mentality and 639 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 1: the way they attack things. That's why you get Dak 640 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 1: at the podium every time saying, well, we're gonna keep 641 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 1: being aggressive and I'm taking away obviously those two less losses, 642 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: you know, this one and then the one in Jacksonville, 643 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 1: But in general, every game it's been a trend where 644 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 1: he turns over the ball and then you go into 645 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: after the game question, Oh, here we go again, the interceptions, 646 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: blah blah, And in every game he has made one 647 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 1: or two or three plays that are like really good 648 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: passing and you're like, okay, well that's why you keep 649 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 1: trying to be aggressive and at the end of the game, 650 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: you guys manage and find the way to win. So 651 00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 1: I think that has affected the whole and I'm just 652 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,719 Speaker 1: trying to look for a reasoning because, like you said, Brian, 653 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 1: we hear the same speech speech every game and it 654 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: doesn't change, and they don't go out saying, you know, 655 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna be more careful with the ball or anything. 656 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: It's not.

The question was, are we through 712 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 1: past the injury for a Michael Gallup is part of 713 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,319 Speaker 1: what we're seeing a result of the fact that he 714 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,280 Speaker 1: just isn't completely back from from his injury and recovering 715 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 1: from it. I think that would be a really convenient 716 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 1: thing to say. I think that, you know, there was 717 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 1: some probably early in the season, he didn't want to 718 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,719 Speaker 1: play in that game, the Monday night game in New York. 719 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 1: I really do think that he was like, listen, let 720 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 1: me have one more week, let me get this singer, 721 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 1: you know in my mind right and all that. I 722 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 1: think that very early in the season he struggled with that, 723 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 1: and I don't think the Cowboys wanted him to play 724 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 1: in that game. There's a lot of history on that turf. Yeah, yeah, 725 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,919 Speaker 1: it's a bad. It's a bad. You're absolutely right about 726 00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 1: I think it's a combination. I mean, all it takes 727 00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 1: is one person putting it in your head, yeah, or 728 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 1: one of the then it's like whoa wa. Yeah, I 729 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,719 Speaker 1: mean just visiting with people like you guys do it 730 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,319 Speaker 1: was not it was not a game. But I think 731 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,359 Speaker 1: we're past that point. I do two. I think we're 732 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:12,800 Speaker 1: past that. And you know, I mean they're he's just um, 733 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,640 Speaker 1: he's inconsistent. I mean, because there are sometimes he makes 734 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,680 Speaker 1: some great catches. I mean, if you're throwing the ball 735 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,279 Speaker 1: on the sideline, I think I wanted to go to 736 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 1: him more than any other player. But he's just it's 737 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what it is about him. 738 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 1: It's just not always there. And that's what a number 739 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,719 Speaker 1: two receiver probably is. If you look around the league 740 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,880 Speaker 1: at all number two receivers, do they have the ability 741 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,880 Speaker 1: to go for one forty and two touchdowns? Yes? Do 742 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 1: they also can can they go one for four four 743 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 1: yards and and not? You know, and maybe four or 744 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:46,000 Speaker 1: five targets that incomplete? Yeah, that's what a number two does, 745 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 1: or you'd be a number one. So I think all 746 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:53,279 Speaker 1: number two receivers are pretty inconsistent with you know, they 747 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 1: they're highs and lows, I mean, and they you want 748 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,319 Speaker 1: them to be somewhere in between. What has been as 749 00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 1: high what we say is as high this season as 750 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,879 Speaker 1: he had as high Yeah, I mean my yards. I'm 751 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,399 Speaker 1: just saying in general game, and you're like, man, he 752 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 1: was the difference here too high? Well, I mean plays 753 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 1: that he's made. I remember the play I think it 754 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 1: was against the Colts where Dak sprints was right, He's 755 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 1: a stationary receiver in the middle of the field and 756 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 1: he takes off running with Dak and he throws in 757 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 1: the ball and then he skirts in. I think that 758 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,360 Speaker 1: was against the Colts. He had to play against the 759 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 1: Philadelphi Eagles in the corner at the pylon. Nick's right 760 00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,200 Speaker 1: about that sideline plays where it's not a contested but 761 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,840 Speaker 1: it's all about him kind of getting hands to body 762 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,799 Speaker 1: to ball to tow sixty three. Yeah, I mean, those 763 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,759 Speaker 1: are those are all those three? That's his best five 764 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:39,359 Speaker 1: cats to sixty three against the Giants on Thanksgiving and 765 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:44,000 Speaker 1: which that wasn't really that memorable. You know what, I'm 766 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,320 Speaker 1: really really pissed right now. Yeah, this is what I 767 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,279 Speaker 1: was waiting for. The ladies should not be using the 768 00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,759 Speaker 1: word piss but I am. And the thing is, you 769 00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,920 Speaker 1: know what bothers me is why are we talking about 770 00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:59,200 Speaker 1: the wide receiver group right now at this point of 771 00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 1: the year when this is exactly the conversation we were 772 00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:05,000 Speaker 1: having a training camp. These were issues and we've had 773 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,799 Speaker 1: opened the ups and downs with the wide receiver group. 774 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,239 Speaker 1: I think Noah Brown did a really really good job 775 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:14,239 Speaker 1: during his time with Cooper Rush and all that, and 776 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,120 Speaker 1: that was working. So there were times where you thought, Okay, 777 00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:22,080 Speaker 1: they're doing okay, enough enough to get you by because 778 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,919 Speaker 1: also how the defense was playing for you. Now that's 779 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 1: not the case. Now you need the offense to play 780 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:32,040 Speaker 1: a lot better than what the defense is helping you with. 781 00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 1: And now even though they got Tye Hilton and he's 782 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:40,279 Speaker 1: shown some things, it's still not there yet, not there 783 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,799 Speaker 1: as a group at the wide receiver position. And it's 784 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:47,440 Speaker 1: just that's it makes me mad that we're literally at 785 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,880 Speaker 1: the time where you think you should have most of 786 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:54,000 Speaker 1: everything figured out, you don't. And we're going headed to 787 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,560 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay next week. Here kind of saying, well, Michael 788 00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,440 Speaker 1: Gallup hasn't been the guy that he needs to be. Well, 789 00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,400 Speaker 1: now you're throwing passes and Noah Brown, who according to 790 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:08,520 Speaker 1: Nick is the best base volleyball player in the United States, 791 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:18,200 Speaker 1: but they're competing for big screen. Oh my gosh. No. 792 00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:22,560 Speaker 1: But it's it's just upsetting when we have seen this, 793 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,600 Speaker 1: and this is a topic of conversations since training camp, 794 00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:28,880 Speaker 1: and here we are sitting at the end of the season, 795 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,160 Speaker 1: heading into the playoffs, still kind of having this conversation. 796 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:35,280 Speaker 1: And I love what t Y Hilton has done since 797 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,440 Speaker 1: the moment he got here, but it's not to the 798 00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,319 Speaker 1: he's not there every play like, it's not to the 799 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,879 Speaker 1: point where now that's your guy and you're fully giving 800 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 1: that responsibility to him. Just yeah, if you feel better 801 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,759 Speaker 1: about t Y Hilton, then you do Gallop, then you 802 00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,879 Speaker 1: probably need you probably need more reps from t Y Hilton, which, 803 00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 1: by the way, I do expect in the playoffs, get 804 00:40:56,560 --> 00:41:00,040 Speaker 1: more last week's game. Last week's game, he was a 805 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,560 Speaker 1: guy that they were relying on on third downs, particularly, 806 00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 1: so I expect in the playoffs you're gonna see a 807 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,759 Speaker 1: lot more of that. With CD you have, you guys 808 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,440 Speaker 1: thought about with the playoffs here, what about like Odell 809 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,760 Speaker 1: you know what with about a minute and forty five seconds, 810 00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,200 Speaker 1: let me ask you this, about a minute five seconds 811 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:24,359 Speaker 1: left in the show. You really just drop that out there? Yeah, yeah, 812 00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,040 Speaker 1: tomorrow and maybe he'll be asked about it. More concerned 813 00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 1: about the cornerback situation, the wide receiver situation. Cornerback, No doubt, 814 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,120 Speaker 1: it's not because because like you said, they'll find those 815 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,919 Speaker 1: bad players. Yeah, if you can exploit them. And Mike, 816 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:40,680 Speaker 1: Mike Evans, I mean the quality, the quality they've tried 817 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 1: to fix the cornerback spot. They've brought every corner that's 818 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,399 Speaker 1: been on the street, they've brought in. You know, we'll 819 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,920 Speaker 1: see what happens with Xavier Rhodes, Mike. Guys in the league. 820 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,879 Speaker 1: Tell me listen, he's he's a long player. Dan likes 821 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,239 Speaker 1: those kind of guys. He's a tough guy. He can't 822 00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,480 Speaker 1: run as well as he once didn't. You know, so 823 00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,560 Speaker 1: now maybe you throw your situation out there. He's a 824 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:03,360 Speaker 1: veteran guy. George Edwards knows him from his days in Minnesota. 825 00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,400 Speaker 1: They've thrown everything. I don't expect Mullin or any of 826 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 1: these other guys to play anymore, not right too far 827 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,040 Speaker 1: into the matchups, though. This is where I look at 828 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,040 Speaker 1: Xavier Rhodes and say, can you put veteran against veteran? 829 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,880 Speaker 1: Put him out there with Julio. Julio is a guy 830 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,359 Speaker 1: I worry about in a playoff game because he hasn't 831 00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,560 Speaker 1: been a guy who's been killing teams all season. But 832 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:23,480 Speaker 1: you get those kind of vets who just have that 833 00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:27,320 Speaker 1: natural raw ability into the playoffs, Like, I start worrying 834 00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,319 Speaker 1: a little bit about that, and I think Xavian might 835 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:31,680 Speaker 1: that might be somebody could put out there to handle 836 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:33,840 Speaker 1: him a little bit other than Tom Brady, of course, 837 00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:37,719 Speaker 1: And even though he has a play great this year, 838 00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:39,719 Speaker 1: he's still I mean still, he gets it done at 839 00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,520 Speaker 1: the end, and that's a credit to their defense. But 840 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 1: the guy that worries me the most is for Nett 841 00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:49,880 Speaker 1: to me seem Tom Brady in Week one didn't have 842 00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,320 Speaker 1: to be Tom Brady. Leonard Fournette had one hundred and 843 00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,399 Speaker 1: twenty eight yards and it looked and him six yards 844 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,880 Speaker 1: a shot. And I still haven't seen the Cowboys consistently 845 00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:59,799 Speaker 1: be able to stop the run. Every time we think 846 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:01,480 Speaker 1: they maybe getting a little better at it, they have 847 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,840 Speaker 1: a game where it just brings you right back to it, 848 00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:05,400 Speaker 1: like I don't think they can stop the run, and 849 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,760 Speaker 1: Layton vander esh are huge in this game. They they've 850 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,360 Speaker 1: got to come back and we come back an immedia, 851 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,640 Speaker 1: come back ready to play, and your your quarterback has 852 00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:17,040 Speaker 1: to He played so badly against Tampa in Week one, 853 00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,280 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, and hopefully this is the pressure. 854 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,520 Speaker 1: Do you remember in that game? And I know the 855 00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,960 Speaker 1: defense and even Tom Brady looked very different than what 856 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,160 Speaker 1: they are now, But I don't remember. I don't. I 857 00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,840 Speaker 1: just still had about four false stars. He was awful 858 00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,880 Speaker 1: because that was the first week terrible. Yeah, that was 859 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,440 Speaker 1: the first week that I remember thinking because people were going, well, 860 00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,279 Speaker 1: the broaders, you're right, because I was the guy that said, oh, 861 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,480 Speaker 1: he's gonna be a liability. And then he played like 862 00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,400 Speaker 1: that in week one and you're kind of like thinking, Okay, 863 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,839 Speaker 1: maybe I wasn't so stupid. But now he played better 864 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,279 Speaker 1: since then, So yeah, I mean, you gotta go back, 865 00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 1: but we gotta do. If you can watch you all 866 00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:52,640 Speaker 1: twenty two, go watch Cincinnati, go watch the games that 867 00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:57,600 Speaker 1: they like, because they Cincinnati really disrupted the way Tampa's 868 00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,960 Speaker 1: offense looked. So maybe that's something that Dallas can draw 869 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,319 Speaker 1: from in this football game. All Right, guys, we appreciate you, 870 00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 1: John Us. We'll be back on tomorrow.
