Speaker 1: Following a twenty one to six win over the NFC's

12
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: phone New York Giants, Hey there, everybody, Hey, what's happening

13
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: really fun today? Huh oh? Absolutely? Ten and four? Ten

14
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: and four? Can you believe this? I mean, even going

15
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: back to the early parts and we'll get into the

16
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: nitty gritty. We know it wasn't a pretty win. We're

17
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: gonna talk about it, but ten and four is pretty

18
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: remarkable when you look at where this team was a

19
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: year ago, what the offseason looked like, and all the

20
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: uncertainties that were surrounding. Sometimes you just got to take

21
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 1: a step back from a season like this and say, wow,

22
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: you've got ten wins and you've still got three to play,

23
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: and all three of those are winnable as well. When

24
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: I was on my way end this morning, I had

25
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: a little conversation with myself. I was thinking about where

26
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: this team came from last year. And now you know,

27
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: you know how I feel about this win. But it's

28
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: a win. But in terms of where this team was

29
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: last year and what they had to overcome, is coach

30
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: McCarthy up for coaching a year. Man, you are gonna

31
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: get just throw stuff thrown at you. I'm wondering because

32
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: I'm wondering. I mean, I'm just saying I agree, I

33
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: completely agree you talk about the turnaround from last year

34
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: this year. That's valid. Yeah, that's only means. I don't

35
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: know about some of these other coaches, but I mean that,

36
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: just that that thought process came in my mind. I'm like,

37
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: he it hasn't been pretty, but it is what it is.

38
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 1: We're gonna that. We're gonna notte that. So when the

39
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: national media starts talking about that, we'll just say, hey,

40
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: I'm talking Cowboys. Isaiah stand Back said it. He said it,

41
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: he got it in the news cycle. Yeah yeah, like

42
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: ray J. So you think there's members of Cowboys names

43
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: oh Man, Okay, two forty five into the show. Yeah

44
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: that's too Jesus okay, I keep going quickly. So you

45
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: think there's members of Cowboys nations? They're like, I don't know,

46
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,839
Speaker 1: Coach of the Year, pe. It's a lot of people

47
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: who probably have their doubts about play call, not only

48
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: play call, in game management, clock management, all of those things.

49
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: He's been played with. But you're attending four. Your defense

50
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: is playing out of this world. I mean, obviously we're

51
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: gonna get into the offense. And what whoa having birthdays?

52
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: Nate new Birthday? Having birthday? Nate, Hey your birthday? Come on,

53
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: Nate Birthday night. There may have to take Rob's camera

54
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: for this. Absolutely once again we got this whole loud

55
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: brother again going over the mountain to you having birthday

56
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: many the Great Nate Newton the Great. So here's why

57
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: are we always screaming. I don't know why we're screaming,

58
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: but the thing because we won. We won. But the

59
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: podcast studio, So the Dallas Cowboys, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the

60
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals, the Green Bay Packers. Those are the top teams,

61
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: those are the division leaders in the NFC. Three of

62
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: those four have been there recently, or at least are

63
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: expected to be there. Arizona you could argue hasn't been

64
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: there recently. Cliff Kingsbury could be in that conversation. But

65
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: the fact that the Cowboys are in that conversation, they

66
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: were up at the top of the skit standings there.

67
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: I think it does throw Mike McCarthy into that, at

68
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: least into the realm of possibility. Yeah, I think if

69
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: the I think if the Cardinals get the one seed,

70
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: it's probably Kingsbury because he's a young coach and he's

71
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: he's rising and all that, and they also are way

72
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: more improved than they were in twenty twenty as well. Yeah,

73
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: could be Belichick with the rookie quarterback. But but that's

74
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: you're right, Like he's he's done a great job. He's

75
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: hired assistance that have come in and done. Dan Quinn

76
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: specifically has done a fantastic job this year. I was

77
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: just to your point when you started the show off.

78
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: I was looking at December December twenty twenty twenty Cowboys

79
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: were four and nine. They were this year's New York Giants. Basically,

80
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: so health helps a lot. But we talked about culture

81
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: a lot on this show, defensively especially the culture is

82
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: completely flipped. And now, right now, at this moment, it's

83
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: the strength of your football team. Hey, you say it again.

84
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: It's the strength of your football team right right this minute.

85
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: And if last year, last year, this time I said

86
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: to you, your defense is going to be the strength

87
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: of your team. And they're gonna be the strength of

88
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: your team, and you're gonna have thirty takeaways. I mean,

89
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: no way you would have believed that, No way from

90
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: from where we had come from. And now and Nick

91
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: Eatman's article are ready yesterday, just talking about how this

92
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: defense is the show you want to you want to

93
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: hurry up and see what they're gonna do. What is

94
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn going to bring next? What is Michael Parsons

95
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: going to do next? And just man Tank Lawrence and

96
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: the addition of him and Randy Gregory, all these guys together, Man,

97
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: that front seven is man. They are devastating. Question, go ahead,

98
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: do you look forward? This is kind of weird. Do

99
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: you look forward to seeing the defense more than you

100
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: look forward to seeing an offense. Yeah, I look forward

101
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: to the third downs now. I want to see who's

102
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: line up, where, what Mike is doing? Is he dropping,

103
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: is he coming? Where's Lawrence lining up? Like? Yeah, it's fun,

104
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: it's it's it's everything they told us it would be.

105
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: And he kind of at one point the season you

106
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: almost kind of rolled your eyes, like, well, are they

107
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: really gonna get everybody back? Yeah? You know they actually

108
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: were missing two defensive tackles yesterday and still got it crazy. Yeah,

109
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 1: And to that point, I mean earlier in the season

110
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: and even going back to the early parts of the season,

111
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: the first six weeks or so, when Dak Prescott was

112
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 1: coming off the sideline, you looked at Dak Prescott and

113
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: you say, Okay, what's coming up next? Are they gonna

114
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 1: hit CD or are they gonna hit him? Mark Cooper?

115
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: Is Michael Gallup? I guess during the opening game of

116
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: the year, is he gonna find his way open? You

117
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: felt that intensity. It's the same thing on defense now

118
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: because at some point during that drive, someone's gonna make

119
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: a play. And that was adamant again yesterday. I mean,

120
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: I think one of the things that's happened. Is so

121
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: many outstanding things that happening on defense. I'm sitting on

122
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: the edge of my seat because I don't know when

123
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: trey Von Digg is gonna take one to the house.

124
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: All right, I mean, well, way, this is something special.

125
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: I mean, we're defensive Player of the Year. I mean,

126
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year was a Trayvon Diggs

127
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: and the what he was doing, and then it switched

128
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: to Mica. But it's just managed ten interceptions in the season.

129
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: That's that's special, man. Cowboys with the first team since

130
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: the two thousand and seven Chargers with one player with

131
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: ten plus sacks and one player with ten plus interceptions.

132
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: So it's been a long time since you've seen the

133
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: defense like that. Can we throw Everson's name out there?

134
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: Can we tell the NFL world to put some respect

135
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: on Everson Walls's name, the great, the great Everson Walls.

136
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: Because we're talking about Treyvon Diggs and the amazing year

137
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: that he's having and how he's killing it. But then

138
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: when you look at that list, Everson Walls is on

139
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: that list twice eleven interceptions and nine interceptions, Am I correct?

140
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: All right? And we talking about Trayvon. He's in between

141
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: those two right now. He's going he's going after Everson's record. However,

142
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: Everson's done it twice and he's not in the Hall,

143
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: and in an era where they didn't throw the football

144
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: early as much, he's not in the Hall. Somebody please

145
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: put some respect on my unk's name. That's a great

146
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: point because he was a finalist in the last couple

147
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: of years, but not I don't think last year. But

148
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: this actually kind of brings his profile back to the surface.

149
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: So that's great. Yeah, and deserving trey vonn With his

150
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: tenth interception. During the game, Micah's sack, Street comes to

151
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: a close, which is unfortunate. Cowboys didn't really have the

152
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,559
Speaker 1: sack numbers. What they have one two sacks on the game.

153
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: I guess just one sack. They had a combined between

154
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: Gallimore and Dorance Armstrong, but you didn't need it. You

155
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: felt like they were in the backfield. Glennon had zero

156
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: time to throw. I mean, Mike Glennon was not very

157
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 1: good first off, but thirteen of twenty four ninety nine

158
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: yards and three interceptions under a twenty five passer rating.

159
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: I mean, what did you think about the way this

160
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: defense played and you got to take it with a

161
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: grain assault because it was against the Giants, but they

162
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: did what they needed to do and they executed. Now

163
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: we've been we've been talking about all season, when is

164
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: this defense going to be the reason that we win

165
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: the game? We've been looking for that. We've obviously pretty

166
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: much put it in our heads that the offense is

167
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 1: going to be what leads this team to have any success.

168
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: And now that tides a turn. I think it just

169
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: shocks everyone to see the defense balling outline game. Man.

170
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 1: I mean, not the three straight road games and twelve

171
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: turnovers in three I mean, come on, I mean that's outstanding.

172
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: And so at some point, Pete, we've had this conversation

173
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: about the defense obviously winning us some games, but we've

174
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: seen this three consecutive weeks where they've done this. And look,

175
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: the one thing I think, my pet peeve is with

176
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: this victory is there used to be a time we

177
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: talked about the culture difference between some of these things

178
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: and the cell phones last week last Friday. There used

179
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: to be a time in the NFL where you win

180
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: by fifteen points and you run four one hundred and

181
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: twenty four yards. That's great, everybody's satisfied. But we win

182
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: by fifteen points and we still got to defend the offense.

183
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,719
Speaker 1: And to me, that's crazy. I know the question was

184
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: about the defense, but there used to be a time

185
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: where these numbers were satisfactory, but it's not anymore. Yeah. Yeah,

186
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: And you watch two games last night, and you watched

187
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: the Bucks get shut out for the second time ever

188
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: in Tom Brady's career. Yeah, first time since two thousand

189
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:05,119
Speaker 1: and six. You watch the Cardinals get blasted by the Lions, blasted,

190
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 1: just destroyed, one eleven and one Lions, And I think

191
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: it does highlight the fact. And Isaiah knows better than

192
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 1: anybody in this room how hard it is to win

193
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: a football game in the NFL, regardless of Again, they,

194
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: like Keck said, they've played some quarterbacks that are not

195
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: highly productive quarterbacks Mike Lennon, Taylor Heineke, and Taysom Hill

196
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: the last three weeks, but they get the job done.

197
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: And these stats, these takeaway stats are ridiculous. They have

198
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: four takeaways yesterday, third straight game with four plus. The

199
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: last time that happened was ninety four. And what some

200
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: of what they're doing defensively and Jerry talks about this stuff,

201
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: and yeah, those are great, great dynastic teams, but that

202
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: is their defensive line pressure is like championship level right now.

203
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: It really, it really is. But again again it comes

204
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 1: back to expectations of what we've seen this offense capable

205
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: of doing what this offense needs to do in order

206
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: to win games in January's and that's you know, that's

207
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: the other side of it. If you want to got

208
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: it'd be a little more critical, and that's our job,

209
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: I guess yep, and I am missed a critical And

210
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 1: I think that the defense, obviously, the defensive line is

211
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: playing amazing. The secondary is getting more opportunities because of

212
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: the defensive line play, and you heard Digs you know,

213
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: obviously allude to that yesterday in this postgame interview. But

214
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: with the one glaring spot, I think we can't ignore,

215
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: you know, I'm always want to highlight it. Run defense,

216
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: run defense, run defense, run defense. The Giants came in

217
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: yesterday with the intense and with the intent to run

218
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: the ball down the throats of Dallas Cowboys, and they

219
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: were being successful with that. Now it gets to a

220
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: certain point where the game gets out of hand and

221
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: you got to get out the side of your game plan,

222
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: but their initial game plan was being executed to their liking,

223
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: and that is something that we have to figure out.

224
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 1: We have all our guys back in terms of the

225
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: pass rush and and we were missing some guys in

226
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: the interior yesterday, which obviously doesn't help you with your

227
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: run defense. But that is an area that teams are

228
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: highlighting now. It's just like teams on offense. When they're

229
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: going to get our offense, they're like, hey, this offensive

230
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: line we talked about in the pregame show the left side.

231
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: We could let these boys right, we can put some

232
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: pressure on them now on defense or like, where's the

233
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: whole at crap, let's run the ball. And that's something

234
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: we gotta shure up. No, I mean, you make a

235
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: great point about that, but you know, I thought that

236
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: the run defense was solid all the way up until

237
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: that thirty one yard run by Booker. You know that

238
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: that was the one run that I thought that I

239
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 1: looked back over the game and like, if you don't

240
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: give up that when you hold him to less than

241
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: one hundred yards, to be ninety one yards or whatever

242
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: it would have been at that time. But you're right,

243
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: I mean, the run defense is something that has to

244
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: be fixed, the big playability. You still have the questions

245
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 1: in your head, is this a championship level defense? Yeah,

246
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: And you got to continue to ask yourself that over

247
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks because it seems like if

248
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna continue with the offense at this pace, you're

249
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: gonna need that defensive output and you're gonna need them

250
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: to get more stops and not allow those big runs.

251
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: I'm on your side, whereas I don't think the run

252
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: defense was as bad as Isaiah's kind of eluding it

253
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: to be, because you were talking about this in the

254
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: studio and we disagreed in studio about this because Sequa

255
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: Barkley was the game plan truly on I mean threw

256
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: it to him, They ran it with him. He went

257
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: fifteen carries for fifty yards. He didn't have a carry

258
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: than six. He was done. They destroyed him Without Tristan

259
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: hill in Osa di Gizo, who arguably aren't some of

260
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: your better defensive tackle strengths in terms of stopping the run.

261
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 1: Booker had his lumps. He was able to run a

262
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: little bit better, kind of like that changeup of Ezekiel Elliott,

263
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: Tony Pollardy was a changeup, and Booker definitely had the

264
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 1: thirty one yard run. I believe he had another one

265
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: that was like fifteen or so. I feel okay with

266
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: how the defense played yesterday, But again, this is against

267
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: a struggling Giants offense, against the struggling offensive line. If

268
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: that's up against let's say, Denver, it might have been worse.

269
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: If that's up against some of these other teams that

270
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: can run the football a little bit better, might have

271
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: been worse the Green Bay Packers. Let's just say that.

272
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: I see where you're coming from. And it kind of

273
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: goes back to that conversation of is it expectation or

274
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: is it just unsatisfied fans. It's definitely the expectation at

275
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: the point. You want them to be able to stop

276
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: everyone on the run. But they did stop the Giants yesterday. Yeah. No,

277
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: I mean what the main priority they had was obviously

278
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: stopping sae Quon Barkley, and they did that, right, that

279
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: was the number one model. If we bought up se Kuon,

280
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 1: we went boom facts. Okay, but I don't like those

281
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: little holes. I just personally I don't like those little

282
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: holes because for the Giants to come in and say

283
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: we can run the ball on you, Like, what the heck? Yeah,

284
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: are you serious? Right now? What's you know, what's the

285
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: stop the dog on you know, Green Bay from coming

286
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: in with Jones and dealing and saying, let's see, I

287
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: figured that out about you, ASA, is that you're not

288
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: You're you're looking to the future. Yeah, you're not. You're

289
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: not even dealing with right now right And the whole

290
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: time I've been thinking that you're dealing with right now

291
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: and that ain't where you are you're talking about I

292
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: don't know, yeah, same page now, yeah, all right. So

293
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: in defending a win, uh and the and the defense,

294
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, man, if you can do that

295
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: against SA kuon Barkley and bottle him up, what's the

296
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: say who else in the NFC that you're worried about?

297
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: From a running back standpoint? Green Bay obviously has Jones? Yeah,

298
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: and who got hurt last name? I'm not and again

299
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: I'm not when when we talk about this NFL, I'm

300
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: not so concerned about the talent at the running back position.

301
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: I'm more so worried about the schemes. Right, I'm worried

302
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: about the schemes because I honestly think that in this

303
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: NFL they're running backs that are substantially better than the

304
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: other running backs. But for the most part, if you

305
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: have a solid running scheme, you can plug and play.

306
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: You can plug and play. And I truly believe that

307
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: San Francisco exactly, especially when you have a quarterback who

308
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: can throw the thing all over the play. So, yes,

309
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: you're asked, absolutely correct, I am like my competitive level

310
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: is is I don't I don't know to make people

311
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: more competitive than me, right, So when I think about competition,

312
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about what is it going to take to

313
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: get the ultimate goal, like satisfaction and get into the playoff.

314
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: That's not satisfaction, right. We might be in the playoffs

315
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: as of tonight, right, but we don't. That's not satisfaction.

316
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: What is the ultimate goal, and that's to get that

317
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: dog on ring. So when you start thinking about the

318
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: areas that you need to shore up, who are the

319
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: teams that you were that you may face that you

320
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: have to face in order to get that dog on ring?

321
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: And is that level a player that you currently at

322
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: right now good enough to get you there? And the

323
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: answer has to be no. In certain areas now they're

324
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: other teams are gonna have their off days too. Yeah, right,

325
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: they're not gonna be They're not gonna be one hundred

326
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: percent on every single thing that they're doing. But that's

327
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: that's the approach that you have to take Tampa Bay yesterday.

328
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: Not on there, Absolutely not at all. It was ever

329
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: a point in this game where you felt as though

330
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys didn't have control, No, and we're gonna

331
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: get into the offense. But I thought it in certain

332
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: spots it was reflective in the play calling where they

333
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: felt like, ah, we don't have to go too deep

334
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: in the bag necessarily because we just take the points,

335
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: don't take a sack. I'm thinking of the third down

336
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: before halftime. Yeah, I didn't feel like it was And look,

337
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: I mean that's the run defense stuff. That's the kind

338
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: of thing Dan Quinn's gonna point out in the film

339
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: room today is that we gotta sharpen this up. We

340
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: gotta sharpen that up. To your point, you take away

341
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: that thirty one yard run by Booker and it's I

342
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: think it's four yards of carry that they got in

343
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: the game, but it counts, you know, the fifty eight

344
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: yard run by Tony Pollard in New Orleans changed the

345
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: game for the Cowboys. Didn't run it really well outside

346
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: of that, but it counts. So you get in the playoffs,

347
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 1: you got to tighten those things up. No lots of

348
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: good points all over the place, because I mean that's

349
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: the thing is the offense still hasn't hit that ceiling

350
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 1: that we've seen them hit previously. We're gonna talk about

351
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 1: that when we come back on the other side of

352
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: the break. Can this Cowboys offense continue to take positive

353
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 1: steps after yesterday? Because I think yesterday was a positive

354
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: step and we'll tell you why. Well, we come back

355
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: right after this. There's nothing as unique as our eyes,

402
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: I was like, damn, they listen to talking Cowboys. When

403
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: I hit on thirty five North, I see like three

404
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: of them. Wow, they have a lot of real estate.

405
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: Good job, caliber collisions. They've been all over the place

406
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: for quite some time, and they they they're very adamant

407
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: about advertising in sports. It's the Cowboys, and they do

408
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: it at baseball, basketball. See it all over the place now.

409
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 1: But I'm right there with you. But glad you're with

410
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: us here on talking Cowboys. It is a victory Monday.

411
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys are ten and four and thanks to the Lions,

412
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: thanks to the Saints that a Will Ferrell, not so

413
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 1: much to the Ravens. They almost did your favor. They

414
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: almost got you there. But the Cowboys are the number

415
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 1: two seed in the NFC at the moment, and they

416
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: are pretty much a win, a tie, a loss, I

417
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: mean one game away. Their magic numbers at one for

418
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,199
Speaker 1: the NFC East Division, so plenty to think about. What

419
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: would it take to have the number one seed at

420
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 1: that exact just looking at it, it all it would

421
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: take is for you to win out and for Green

422
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: Bay to lose one. That's all it is. They got left.

423
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: They've got hold up. I just had it, Miss Chris,

424
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 1: She's got the Browns Cleveland yet Browns next week. Then

425
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: they've got Minnesota in week seventeen at home, and then

426
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: week eighteen they're on the road against the red hot

427
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. That'd be two of those three are tough. Now,

428
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 1: which two the Minnesota and um, yeah, and no in

429
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: the Browns Cleveland, but they just beat Arizona thirty to

430
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: thirt Cleveland. Cleveland is if they can get that defense

431
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: is nasty and it is. That game is indeed in

432
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: Lambeau as well. So they've got two of their last

433
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 1: three at home, much like the Cowboys do. Um, it's

434
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: gonna be tough to see them up ended. But it

435
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: is the NFL and we saw it just like it

436
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: was yesterday with the much rather have our schedule than theirs.

437
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: I would agree with that. Maybe the Cardinals, that's tough.

438
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: Cardinals is gonna be tough even with their injuries. Philly

439
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: game in week eighteen, well, Cardinals game too. Cowboys have

440
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: not swept the division since nineteen ninety eight and against Minnesota,

441
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 1: UM yeah, I just that game up. There is always

442
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: a pan the end of it. Yeah, but he said,

443
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: I think Heckma was the one that pointed it out

444
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 1: back in But schedule release time in May, and he

445
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: was like, oh, of course they're gonna throw us in

446
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: Philadelphia in the middle of January, and not even December. January,

447
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: it's the second week of January. They're gonna throw the

448
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: Cowboys up in fil and hopefully we have it all

449
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: locked up done by them. Yeah, wepe, Yeah, that would

450
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: be nice. But first round by is everything, man, especially

451
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: this year, especially everything now that they've moved into the

452
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: seven team format. You, I mean, only one team gets

453
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: that buying two games two game win streak is a

454
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: lot better than a three game win streak when it

455
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: comes to the playoffs. Would much rather only have to

456
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: win two That it's is It is a game changer,

457
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: So you don't care about the rust stuff, but rest

458
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: first rust and that No, heck no, would you know

459
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: the level of competition that you're gonna have from the

460
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: first week of playoffs up into the NFAC Championship. You

461
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: want to play two games. You want to play one

462
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: game NFC Championship. That's all. You want to do one

463
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: game NFC Championship. You do not want to have to

464
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: go through one two games and then go to that

465
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: championship game. Does that? How does that work with Tampa

466
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: beating us as far as the time. That's why I

467
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: asked that question. Yeah, it's conference record, right, it is, right, Yeah,

468
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: So it's a three way tie. It's conference record. If

469
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 1: it's head to head, it's I mean if it's one

470
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: of two teams, meaning like and the Cowboys have the

471
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: best conference record out of anybody in the NFL. They're

472
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 1: eight and one against in the NFC's undefeated in the

473
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 1: NFC since the opener, since the open two, Tampa eight

474
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: straight against the conference. Green Bay's eight and two. Tampa

475
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: Bay is six and four against the NFC, so all

476
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: four of their losses have come in the conference. And

477
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: then Arizona's also six and four. So Cowboys look really

478
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: good in terms of tie breakers. You just need that

479
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: one more win and then also you gotta talk about

480
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: business away. God man, they were one play away from

481
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: getting it done. So you're watching it like this, My wife,

482
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: My wife is trying to talk to me. I was

483
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: liked on hold on, hold on, hold on hold on

484
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 1: right now. If the if the season were to end today,

485
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys would be the two seed, Green Bay

486
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: would be the one seed with the buy the two

487
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: seed would play the seven seed and that's the New

488
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints at the moment, which we saw what their

489
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,199
Speaker 1: defense did yesterday. That by man, so you want that

490
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: by San Francisco's the sixth seed, Los Angeles five, Arizona four,

491
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay three, and then of course Dallas team. So

492
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: that by that Saints win looks a little bit better

493
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: after last night. I think it definitely there going into

494
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: New Orleans. The defense is really good. I'm not saying

495
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: the offense is where it needs to be, but that

496
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: winning that game three straight road wood runs are impressive.

497
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: Struggles with New Orleans they struggled last year. That's the

498
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 1: That's the thing that's erie about them losing too to

499
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: the Saints. This year. They look it looks just like

500
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: last year. They struggle with the les. You know, I

501
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: told Nick on the plane, I would maybe it was Nick.

502
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 1: I said, it's interesting because if you beat Arizona, you

503
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: actually lose a seed. What how does that happen? Well,

504
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 1: because right now you're tied with Arizona Tampa Bay and

505
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: uh it's US, Arizona Tampa Bay all the same record, right, Yeah, Okay,

506
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: Well if you beat Arizona, now you and Tampa Bay

507
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: have the same record, and it's head to head, it

508
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: goes back to head to head, and you flip, what

509
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 1: why what about conference record? Why would you go back

510
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: to head when it comes to head? Okay, the first

511
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: the first tiebreaker is head to head. If it's a

512
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: three team, does that make sense? Yes, then it goes

513
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: to conference record because there's three teams involved. If it's

514
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: two teams, it's head to its head to head Tampa Bay.

515
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 1: We flipped tyrone, Willy, how about that? That's very interesting,

516
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 1: huh because yeah, right now, since it's three teams, it's

517
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: conference right. Wow, that's wild. So if you if you

518
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: get to head to head, my brain hurt. Thanks Chris,

519
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: it's crazy. Yeah, thank you for pointing that out, because

520
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: that's prettybody that week. All right, let's talk about this offense.

521
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: Cowboys yesterday running for two or excuse me, running for

522
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: one hundred yards one twenty five to be exact. And

523
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: they also threw for two hundred or over two hundred.

524
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott two seventeen, a touchdown, no interceptions, had his

525
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: quarterback rating back up. Heckmo, when you look at this offense,

526
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 1: did you think it was a step forward to getting

527
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: back to the explosive side as much as it was

528
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,719
Speaker 1: just another game against the bad defense. Man. I think

529
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: you see the difference immediately on the offensive line, what

530
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 1: Connor Williams did being able to show up and make

531
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: sure that we could run the ball. I think Zeke,

532
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: when we talked about him all week and his health,

533
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 1: and that's the first time that we've seen Zeke play

534
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 1: that he actually looked healthy. And I don't know, man,

535
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 1: I don't know much about plantar fascitis and all that,

536
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: but it don't look like Tony Pollard has any residual

537
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: going on with that injury. But look, let's just deal

538
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: with the elephant in the room. The passing game. It

539
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: still doesn't look like it's on track. Dak still looks

540
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,199
Speaker 1: as though he missed some throws. But there were some

541
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: key drops in this game, guys, that you know you

542
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 1: cannot ignore. And there's so much just being made a

543
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 1: by QB percentage and YadA, YadA, YadA. But when you

544
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: drop the ball, when you have bad throws like that,

545
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 1: and also defenses are just saying, dude, you're not gonna

546
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 1: air us out. We're gonna take away these deep passes.

547
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 1: We're gonna try and let you take everything underneath. And

548
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: you saw a certain point. I don't know if it

549
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: was the second quarter, but they're jumping those slant routes.

550
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: They know that the Cowboys are trying to get to

551
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 1: the middle of the field. But Shultz drift kings, but Shultz, somebody,

552
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 1: somebody came through clutch And finally we've been begging with

553
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 1: the tight ends to have some you know, some effect

554
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: on the game. I think even Sprinkle uh, he had

555
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: a few catches that were key. Um. I think the

556
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: blocking was a little bit better, but still, man, I

557
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: think we still have some things to fix, and we

558
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: have time to fix them. Agreed. Agreed. I think the

559
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: drops have to stop. I don't know. I know there's

560
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: probably two of those drops. I think CD said that

561
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: he couldn't see because of the shadow, the shadow and

562
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: the sun kind of coming through. I mean that's what

563
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 1: he said. I'm just going off of what the visual.

564
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: So two of those drops and he has he has

565
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 1: a three four total, rob is that an official number?

566
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: He said three? CD had three two seems sun related.

567
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: One was yeah. One word he tried to one hand.

568
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: It looked like yeah, exactly oh three for CD. I

569
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: was talking overall. I want to say there was probably

570
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: four or five, yes, at least four. And if you

571
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: have those four or five, the two seventeen looks a lot.

572
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: He's probably yeah, yeah, exactly, So those drops have to

573
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: go away. Uh. To Heckman's point, even with those say

574
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: take those drops out of it, Dack, still it doesn't

575
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: look like Dack. And it was better. It was better

576
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: his his his movement in the pocket, and when we're

577
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: watching the game live, his movement in the pocket was

578
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: substantially better. He looked more compete, he looked more confident

579
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: moving into pocket. Now his decision making was still had

580
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: a little hitching the guinea up. Okay, he had a

581
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: little hitching to guea up. But I was I was

582
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: very elated to see his movement in the pocket, you know,

583
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: being a lot better because it positions you as a quarterback.

584
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: Your footwork is better. You know the play where he

585
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: moved into pocket and then threw back across his body

586
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: to gallop. That was an amazing play. Nobody's looking at

587
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: that play. That play is freaking tough for in terms

588
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: of how he moved into pocket, working his way to

589
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: the left and throwing back to his right. That was

590
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: huge in terms of his confidence. And I hope that

591
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: he he circles that plays like okay, that that looks

592
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: like me and right, and he allows himself to really

593
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: build off of that play. Yeah, there was another play too,

594
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: moving to his left, pocket breaks down and he's able

595
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: to buy time and throw to the he was to

596
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: the left the CD quick completion on third down keep

597
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: the drive going. I was like, that's that's Dak's command

598
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: and poisons move and all that. So that, yeah, encouraging

599
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: run game helps. I think that probably helped him kind

600
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: of feel a little more rhythm with the offense. We

601
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: got to talk about the red zone. The red zone

602
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: is still a huge problem. They were two of five

603
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: in the game yesterday, one for six the week before,

604
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: three for eleven the last two games, and I don't

605
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: I'm not sure why. I don't know. I think ultimately though,

606
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore has got to scheme some things up to

607
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: figure it out. I mean, I think his job as

608
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: play caller and he talks about this kind of stuff.

609
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: We'll talk to him today. They've got to figure something

610
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 1: out schematically to get guys open to do it. But

611
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: heck Wright like generally shell coverage giants making him throw sideways,

612
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: making him throw underneath. And that's why those drops are

613
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: big because when you those chances present themselves where there's

614
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: some holes in there, want to see these drops that

615
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: would have been a huge completion twenty thirty yards. He

616
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: might have still been running, So you can't have that.

617
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: I think Kellen Mooren in again, this is in my opinion,

618
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: I believe that Kellen Moore is resting assured too much

619
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: into these guys' ability to get open and just just

620
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: straight up routes routes on air right, just being a

621
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: line up and say I can run a better route

622
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: than you can defend. I think he has to get

623
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: back to some misdirection. He has to get back to

624
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: some switch releases, some bunch sets, things of that nature

625
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: to create confusion within those defensive schemes. Because right now

626
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: he's literally just lining up and saying, okay, running this

627
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: route and you should win. And that's the thing that

628
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: really surprises me because you would think that that's what's

629
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: being handled from Wednesday to Sunday from you know, those

630
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: are the reps that these guys are taken. Whether you

631
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: don't have a padded practice or not. Like you said

632
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: on air, you just have to make sure that we

633
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: are executing that which is not executing well enough. And

634
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: you see that. I've seen a few times where last

635
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: week the past that was intercepted by the linebacker for

636
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: the pick six, he went right back to at this

637
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: game and it was tipped by the linebacker this time.

638
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: Just not able to drop that ball in the way

639
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: that they're making him throw the ball. It's literally those

640
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: throws that are in between defend and I think we're

641
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: having problems with those. And you saw that on the ball.

642
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: They're saying that the ball got caught up in the

643
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: win on the one to Michael Gallop on the sideline,

644
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: but again he's having to drop that. That's what they said, Isaiah.

645
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: Come on, now, he got caught in the win, but

646
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: it was behind him and it was in between two defenders.

647
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: But those are the kind of players that you have

648
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: to make in the playoffs. You have to make those

649
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: in order to move the chack. You get maybe two

650
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: or three os a game, right, and they seem I mean, yeah,

651
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, you're right, like they seem content not

652
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: to have to force it down the field because I

653
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: think they they didn't have They had plenty of confidence

654
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: that they could win this game with twenty points, which

655
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: is kind of what they've been averaging in December. Offensively

656
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: right now three though, No I know, but I'm saying

657
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: that that's a credit to their defense, so that there,

658
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: Do they feel like we don't have to force things? Yeah? Absolutely?

659
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: With that being said, do you feel like it is

660
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: a conservative effort to be conservative to take your foot

661
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: off the gas? Is that something that Kellen Morris thought

662
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: about as Hey, we went deep into that bag and

663
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:01,719
Speaker 1: they're really parts of the season to see what we

664
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: have to go back to the workshop. Do you want

665
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: to come back to me? Needs to go back to

666
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: the workshop and low it up before Christmas is Saturday,

667
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: and he's a low back up. Get back ready to

668
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: build that bag back up, because I don't think that's

669
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: the case. I don't either. Somebody looking at it might say, oh,

670
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: maybe they're just saving a little bit, but I know

671
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: what you're doing. You're playing on words here. But how

672
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: did you feel about the play calling at the end

673
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: of the first half. Oh, I did not like it.

674
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: I also didn't like the fact that they let the

675
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: clock run down and they kicked the field goal and

676
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: called the time out, calling time out there, you're inside, like,

677
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: what would have had ten seconds? You would have nine seconds?

678
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: Take one shot to the zone, falls incomplete, It falls incomplete,

679
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: Trust your quarterback to not turn the football over there,

680
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: and then go for the end zone. Yeah. I wanted

681
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: to see a long drive, sustained, methodical working down the field,

682
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: and that needs more tension than this getting Because when

683
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: I remember we watched that live, I was yelling in

684
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: the Doggon studio, I'm like, what the heck coming time out?

685
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: You got ten seconds, you got one shot to the

686
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: end zone. If it's if it's there, freaking take it.

687
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: If it's not there, throw it out the back of

688
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: the end zone, and then kick a field goal. The fact,

689
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 1: the fact that you just let the time run down

690
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: and just say we're gonna kick a field goal. But

691
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 1: what what is that? What does that communicate to your

692
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: team in terms of your confidence level? But would that

693
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: have been the case if it was the same scenario,

694
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: same timing, same score, and it was the Arizona Cardinals

695
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers on the I don't give a

696
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,760
Speaker 1: dog all I would know if it would be But

697
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: in your approach. I don't care who your opponent is

698
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: in your approach is simple game management. It's simple game management.

699
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: We got ten seconds left. Guess what we got timeouts

700
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 1: to burn? Freaking call the time out. We're taking a shot.

701
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 1: We're taking a shot now, I'm I'm Now it's up

702
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: to me as a play caller to put us in

703
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: a position to have a nice shot at the end

704
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,919
Speaker 1: zone and make sure that hey, you got you don't

705
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: have two reads. You know it's not one to two.

706
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: If you got one read, if it's there there, drive

707
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: it to them, get to touchdown or guess what it's

708
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: gonna be incompletion, and now we still have the field goal. Right,

709
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: You don't play around, get all all all creative in

710
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: that scenario. But I did not like that he just

711
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: let the time right now, because that is communicating to

712
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: you guys. Yeah, let's not let's not risk anything right here.

713
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: Let's just go ahead and take these for sure points

714
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 1: with an offense that needs I mean, look at him

715
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 1: versus hardball last night. No to two different sides. Now,

716
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: that's a great point, and I'm only asking for perception wise,

717
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: you're saying that that can be perceived by your team.

718
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: Is that a lack of trust in your offense? But

719
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: what if it says I have full trust in my defense.

720
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: If you're up fifteen to three, you're not. You hadn't.

721
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 1: They hadn't gotten anything going at that point. They didn't

722
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: feel threatened. They I don't feel threatening, So you don't,

723
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: So you don't want to No, No, I know what

724
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: you're saying. I know, and I agree with. However, what

725
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: is your job as an O coordinator school to ensure

726
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: that you get points? Right? And it's too ensure that

727
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 1: you get points. So that's getting the field goal clocking

728
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: right down to three. That's ensuring that you get points.

729
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: But you're also your job is to get as many

730
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: points as you can. So get as many points as

731
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 1: you can if we have an opportunity to and guess what,

732
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: we make sure that we have the play call as

733
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: such that we don't take any point points off the board.

734
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: Yeah right, So I'm gonna take my shot, but I'm

735
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 1: gonna take a shot that is that is a high

736
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,399
Speaker 1: percentage play and if it doesn't score, then it's out

737
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,320
Speaker 1: of bounce. And guess what, then, I still ensure that

738
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: we get our three points. And that's all. I was asked,

739
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 1: that's all I was looking at in that scenario, and

740
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 1: it I was frustrated because I'm sitting I don't give

741
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: a dog on'y. If we're up by sixty, you still

742
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 1: take your shot. Mike was asked about it. He said,

743
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,240
Speaker 1: we were right on the threshold of the yellow zone.

744
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: Instead of going one more play and then kick it,

745
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: I just wanted the three points there. I wanted to

746
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: make sure we got the three points out of there.

747
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: What's three points even automatic at that point in the

748
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: ball game. But by saying that, read that last part again,

749
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: I just wanted to what. I just wanted to make

750
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: sure I got the first three points out of there.

751
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 1: So by not taking a shot, you're saying, you know

752
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. By by not even taking an opportunity

753
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: to get a touchdown, you were threatened by the fact

754
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: that something bad may have happened. The only thing that

755
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 1: gives me bubble guts about that whole thing is the

756
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 1: message that you're saying. They're sending the message that you

757
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: don't trust something you know. And I think that you

758
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: talk about conservative play calling and the fact that this

759
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: team up until that point was completely dominating this game,

760
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 1: and the Giants had no rhythm at all on offense.

761
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 1: I think it. I'm personally thinking that maybe it sends

762
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 1: a message that we're putting this on our defense to

763
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 1: carry us through it. They took up. Don't you flip that.

764
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 1: He just told you in that quote that I wanted

765
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: to ensure that I got three points, so by taking

766
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: a shot at the end zone, I would have ran

767
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 1: the risk of something bad happened something. That's what he's saying.

768
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: Something bad did happen on a previous drive third and

769
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:32,280
Speaker 1: four earlier in the second quarter, ball on the Giants twelve.

770
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,760
Speaker 1: He got sacked for a twelve yard loss. Yeah, that's true,

771
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,439
Speaker 1: and it forced them into a forty two yard field

772
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: goal with those conditions, and he just let's just take

773
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: the point. That's because a lot of the players that

774
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: Keller Moore's calling right now. We talked about this in

775
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: studio too, is that the plays are too long. The

776
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: duration of the players are entirely Yeah, these guys are

777
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:50,879
Speaker 1: taking it's taken too long to develop. Dack's having being

778
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: forced to hold the ball and on compounding the issue

779
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: of him not making sound decisions and quick decisions, he's

780
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: holding the ball and waiting for guys to get all

781
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 1: the way open. All right, So that's the issue in itself.

782
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: But the fact that you didn't say, the fact that

783
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: he said, I want to make sure I got out

784
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: here with three points. Bro take your shot, drop back,

785
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: get the dog on snap, take a shot on a

786
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: fade route. If it's they're awesome. If it's not out

787
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: of bounds, let's kick the dog on field goal. But

788
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 1: you took a shot. As as much as I agree

789
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 1: with everything you just said, I still think if this

790
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 1: was a different scenario, if this was a different week,

791
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 1: I think it would be different. I'm not saying that

792
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: should be the case Tooey. You play the way you

793
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: play all the way through, all right, don't play down

794
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: to your opponent. But at the same time, I feel like,

795
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 1: if this was a different week, at different scenario, I

796
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 1: think it would have been a different so hard I

797
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 1: was like, what, hey, hey, are you letting it right

798
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: down to three seconds? Are you taking a shot? I'm

799
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 1: taking the shot. Are the shot? Ye taking a shot?

800
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 1: Thank you very what's the risk of that thing? All right?

864
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:58,240
Speaker 1: Last week it was guys like Michael Parsons to Marcus Lawrence,

865

869
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,280
Speaker 1: don't know who you guys have, and this is interesting.

870
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with Tank Lawrence, who thank Lawrence

871
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: balled out yesterday man, and he was bringing the heat

872
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 1: as all of the offensive linemen now are starting to

873
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 1: key in on the Bazuka. They are forgetting that number

874
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 1: ninety may take your running back's head off if you

875
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,760
Speaker 1: don't block them. So this little kiwik hey lookle kiwik

876
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: kiwi Tank I got you out, forced fumble, pretty much

877
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: forced the first interception to happen as well as he

878
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 1: destroyed Mike Glennon and Jordan Lewis was able to get

879
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:52,919
Speaker 1: that pick he flattened Mike. You got, Isaiah, I'm gonna

880
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:56,280
Speaker 1: continue to roll with my guy Dan to the freaking

881
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: Quinn boy. And I'm gonna go a little great fruit

882
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: right here, I believe right food orange one or the two.

883
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: Either way, if you squeeze this hard enough, Okay, it

884
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 1: would get in your eye, all right, I begin your

885
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: eyes going burne juice. So I think that's a line.

886
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 1: There's no way that's a freaking line. I'll be there

887
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:12,359
Speaker 1: either way, any of those three. Okay, I think it's

888
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: in the eye. It's gonna sting, Okay, right now he

889
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: is stinging every offense that he steps up against. Yes, right,

890
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna ahead and get this d q aka

891
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 1: dan Quinn. Put there right at there, put there right

892
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 1: on the top of the Christmas tree, right thing. He's

893
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 1: gotten a couple of those. Don't let that juice juice?

894
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 1: Oh who are you going with? People? Well, you know,

895
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 1: I don't think you can get ten interceptions in a

896
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:40,359
Speaker 1: season with three games left and not get a smelly sticker. Oh,

897
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:42,240
Speaker 1: we already got the same one up here. That's okay,

898
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: Trayvon Dicks, get another gigantic strawberry. We're not gonna have

899
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 1: any room on this helmet anymore. He is just the

900
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 1: second player in the last ten years eleven years to

901
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 1: get double digit interceptions in a season. Zay Howard had

902
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: ten last year, and now Trayvon Dix does and he's

903
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 1: back in conversation for NFL Defensive Player of the Year.

904
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: I think, how about picks is nuts no matter who

905
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:13,720
Speaker 1: it is, how it happens. I've got this little peach.

906
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 1: He's got some strong hands right here. Strong, He's got

907
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: some strong hands. It's him. He's flex it a little bit.

908
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 1: He's flexing a little bit. And the reason why I

909
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:32,399
Speaker 1: work with strong I work with children mostly. That one

910
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: over there or that guy, he's a child. Look at

911
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 1: this dude, Chris, can you put his camera on real quick?
