Speaker 1: I watched yesterday at three twenty five, I think my
Speaker 1: life is My life is feeling pretty well. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what it's Uh what a night, what
Speaker 1: a day? Yesterday? You know, I tried to start everything
Speaker 1: out positive. Uh, got the family together, you know, or
Speaker 1: shipping ball that stuff you know, do my day and
Speaker 1: you try to get your day started for your your
Speaker 1: football watching experience. And boy, that hope hoping them that hope. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, it was stick and it just started to
Speaker 1: dissipate little by little, and I realized that my team
Speaker 1: stayed in Dallas. I don't know who those guys, you
Speaker 1: know what they're you know what they're reminding me up?
Speaker 1: Whatever remind you? Man? That reminded me of Alonzo Man,
Speaker 1: that man on training day. He ain't hoping them all
Speaker 1: day hoping m and the Washington Commanders was points staying
Speaker 1: and snatched it right up out of the snatched yea, man,
Speaker 1: bro give me all those I need my money, Jake,
Speaker 1: I need my money. Take that's what you're gonna do
Speaker 1: to me, it's just what you want to do. Shoot
Speaker 1: program twenty four hour lockdown. Yeah, that was what guys.
Speaker 1: Let's get into it. Let's get involved before I must.
Speaker 1: Yesterday was ugly. I will say this, man with you know,
Speaker 1: you know I'm gonna try and spend it the best
Speaker 1: I possibly can, and I just don't see no way
Speaker 1: out today. That was a bad performance. That was a
Speaker 1: bad performance that that was not what I was expecting,
Speaker 1: especially with everything that the team had to play for yesterday,
Speaker 1: I thought definitely would get a better effort. But that
Speaker 1: team looked like they had no intention on plan yesterday period.
Speaker 1: And I think that's the one that is the one
Speaker 1: disappointing thing. And I was really happy to hear Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy and his press conference after the game saying that
Speaker 1: he was obviously disappointed. What else do you say after
Speaker 1: performance like that. But you're twelve and five. You're twelve
Speaker 1: and five. You still have everything to play for. Wait
Speaker 1: a minute, Hold on, wait a minute, you're twelve and five.
Speaker 1: You still have everything to play for. And just like
Speaker 1: I said for the Minnesota the Minnesota game, when you
Speaker 1: went out and you dominated that game, that might be
Speaker 1: a tape that you don't want to watch it. Burn it.
Speaker 1: Don't go back and watch that one. I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: the same thing about this one. Burn it because your team,
Speaker 1: our team obviously had no intention on winning that game.
Speaker 1: They played like they were not gonna win that game.
Speaker 1: Special special teams, misques, and the offense that was down
Speaker 1: right awful. Yea, to be honest with yourself, BRO, the
Speaker 1: last six you think about the last six games we
Speaker 1: came in here every week. Yeah, after the game was
Speaker 1: over with and it started off with sleepwalking, were not
Speaker 1: really should the twelve o'clock game. The last six games, bro,
Speaker 1: go all the way to go and say indie, indie, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's when it sparked it off. Indy. You
Speaker 1: got you exploded in the fourth quarter, But the first
Speaker 1: three it was tight. What was was a signal for
Speaker 1: what was coming. For the next five weeks. You got
Speaker 1: the Texans, you got the Jaguars, you got the Titans,
Speaker 1: you got the Washington Commanders, And every week we came
Speaker 1: in and we were like, oh man, we just playing
Speaker 1: down the competition. We just playing we don't know what
Speaker 1: we do, na, Bro, that's not it. Four and two,
Speaker 1: four and two, over that stretch and um, yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it's not good. Do you want to me? I
Speaker 1: have nothing positive for this other than you you played
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay on Monday night. But we're gonna diagnose this
Speaker 1: because we're here. Yeah, we're gonna dig getting into it.
Speaker 1: Let's let's get into it. Because Dak Prescott once and
Speaker 1: again one more time offered up his services to the
Speaker 1: other team and by way of a pick six, guys,
Speaker 1: this is a this is a problem, Danny you've talked
Speaker 1: about and I'll let you lead off on this, man,
Speaker 1: But your thoughts on on Dak right now in his performance,
Speaker 1: the way that he's playing and how it's costing this team. Yeah, man, Dad,
Speaker 1: I don't know where you go. Um with the way
Speaker 1: that he's been playing. When you think about like a
Speaker 1: full game, right, you're not protecting the ball. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure about the reads or or the accuracy or or
Speaker 1: who you're throwing it too at the time, but we're
Speaker 1: taking a lot of shots to nor Brown. When you
Speaker 1: got see lamb out there, I'm just saying, you got
Speaker 1: seed lamb out there, you got sho. You're trying to
Speaker 1: get t Y Hill to integrate it into the offense.
Speaker 1: I think these are better options for you to test
Speaker 1: out and letting nor Brown be what he's been one
Speaker 1: of those guys who, hey, man, when things fall apart
Speaker 1: and you need to find somebody, he's still somebody who
Speaker 1: can who can get you a first down. But you
Speaker 1: need to get these other guys involved in your offense.
Speaker 1: We're taking too many shots to the guy. I don't
Speaker 1: know what's going on with Dak at this moment, but
Speaker 1: he is not protecting the ball, and that is the
Speaker 1: number one thing your quarterback has to do. You cannot
Speaker 1: be leading the league of interceptions when you miss five games.
Speaker 1: You can't be. Your interceptions are not just interceptions, they
Speaker 1: are pick sixes. You are giving points to the other
Speaker 1: team like you that you cannot win football games like.
Speaker 1: They don't matter how good your defense is, how good
Speaker 1: your special teams play. If you are giving the way
Speaker 1: the ball at that rate and then also allowing it
Speaker 1: to beat put them in scoring position, or just giving
Speaker 1: them the touchdown, you ain't gonna win no games. You
Speaker 1: ain't gonna win no games against Tom Brady. You might
Speaker 1: not win a game against Baker. May feel like that
Speaker 1: you just can't do it. Bro. You can't do your
Speaker 1: your offense number one, all this other stuff. But it
Speaker 1: ain't like that, all right. We feed off of what
Speaker 1: our defense is able to do. And when you put
Speaker 1: our defense in those bad situations where you already into
Speaker 1: your own territory or you're not even letting them get
Speaker 1: get on the field because you're giving up the touchdown,
Speaker 1: then you can't feed off of your defense. You can't
Speaker 1: get ahead. The pass russ can't get going, you can't
Speaker 1: get the turnovers because the other team doesn't have to
Speaker 1: throw the ball as many times as they would have
Speaker 1: had to if you were ahead. It's just a recipe
Speaker 1: for disaster. We need Dak Prescott to take number one.
Speaker 1: Take care of it. Just that's it. Take care of us.
Speaker 1: Start there, take care of it, no doubt. Man. Look,
Speaker 1: look you hit on a lot of you know, important things,
Speaker 1: and the most important thing was, you know, Dak Presscott.
Speaker 1: Because you know, even though I believe the defense is
Speaker 1: the strength of this team, I still don't feel like
Speaker 1: they'll go as far as Dak Prescott takes him. You know.
Speaker 1: That's I think he's the catalyst of this whole thing,
Speaker 1: and he has to protect the football. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: That's what it comes down to, as simple as that
Speaker 1: he has to protect the football. Fifteen interceptions in the
Speaker 1: amount of games that he's played is just not acceptable.
Speaker 1: I mean, even if you played a full round vorl
Speaker 1: full season, fifteen interceptions, that's extremely high for a man
Speaker 1: of his caliber and the quarterback of his caliber. So
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to protect the football. But you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not here to prow it all on that because
Speaker 1: there's enough blame to go around all around if you
Speaker 1: look at it. Let's start with this receiving corp right now.
Speaker 1: Let's start with it. You're going against a Washington defense
Speaker 1: where I didn't see any you know, prime time out there.
Speaker 1: I didn't see you know, Peterson in in his prime
Speaker 1: at the corner of position. I didn't see any of that.
Speaker 1: They got a lot of solid defenders. But what I
Speaker 1: did see is no separation from Cedee Lamb all the
Speaker 1: way down to Noah Brown. There was no separation. Each
Speaker 1: and every one of those passes that dag through was
Speaker 1: a contested whether it was cod or whether it wasn't,
Speaker 1: it was contested. There was no separation at all from
Speaker 1: his receiving corps out there. So that's number one. And
Speaker 1: then you also look at this offensive line, and I
Speaker 1: understand they're dealing with some injuries out there, but when
Speaker 1: you have a makeshift offensive line like that, people are
Speaker 1: going to be in your quarterback's face each and every
Speaker 1: time he dropped back the past. Somebody was in there.
Speaker 1: We saw big John Ridgeway looking like he was you know,
Speaker 1: me Joe bid or something like that. He was out
Speaker 1: there dominating in it, and it just to me, it's just, man,
Speaker 1: you know, this is the first time where I really
Speaker 1: looked at that offensive line as a whole, and I'm like, man,
Speaker 1: you know, some of their main pieces, some of their
Speaker 1: cornerstone pieces out there kind of looked old, you know,
Speaker 1: and they kind of looked like they had some chink
Speaker 1: in the armor out there. There was some pressure in
Speaker 1: there that we usually don't see from the main guys.
Speaker 1: That's been a part of the I'm talking about that
Speaker 1: offensive line. So to me, I mean, there's enough blame
Speaker 1: to go around offensively, but Dad, you gotta take care
Speaker 1: of the football. The receiving court, which we've been talking
Speaker 1: about that naseum since the beginning of the season. They
Speaker 1: gotta find a way to create some separation out there.
Speaker 1: I mean, ceedee lamb. The first four possessions of that
Speaker 1: game didn't get one target. I mean, this is a
Speaker 1: guy that's been on a tear for the past five
Speaker 1: or six games, really coming into that number one role.
Speaker 1: He doesn't even get a target in the first four possessions.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's entirely too much. We already talked about
Speaker 1: Noah Brown and how he was getting targeted out there
Speaker 1: out the wazoo. But to me, offensively, they just don't
Speaker 1: have an identity right now. They don't have an identity.
Speaker 1: We thought early on, you know, it could be the
Speaker 1: running game. We thought, you know, let's lean on that
Speaker 1: thunder lightning, let's lean on Tony Pollard and Zekiel Elliott.
Speaker 1: That didn't seem to be the case, and Dak Prescott
Speaker 1: was just receiving corps. Right now, they're just not on
Speaker 1: the same page. Whether it's timing, whether it's you know,
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be, they're just not on the
Speaker 1: same page. So right now, this offense, they have got
Speaker 1: to get an identity. They've got to take care of
Speaker 1: the football first and foremost, or this looks like a
Speaker 1: one and done football team. As talented as they are,
Speaker 1: it looks like it's going that way if they do
Speaker 1: not get this thing going offensively. Fourteen of thirty seven
Speaker 1: passing yesterday, one hundred and one hundred and twenty eight
Speaker 1: yards a TD and an interception. That's bad. Those rookie
Speaker 1: those are rookie numbers. All right? Uh did he get out?
Speaker 1: Played by Sam? Him? We talk about the defensive we're
Speaker 1: gonna go. We adopted saying didn't get it out? I'll
Speaker 1: played by Sam? Oh? Yeah, it was. It was there.
Speaker 1: And here's here's the thing for me, because because I
Speaker 1: think what you're talking about with the white receivers is
Speaker 1: a common theme we've been talking about out this all season.
Speaker 1: No separation by the receiving call. We've been looking for
Speaker 1: a steady number two. As now Ceedee Lamb has started
Speaker 1: to emerge, there's still some space. And I'm sure you
Speaker 1: can go back and look at that game and go,
Speaker 1: what the hell you know? Come on, guys, we had
Speaker 1: drop balls all over the place and Guy's just really
Speaker 1: kind of disappearing at a at a bad time. That
Speaker 1: body language. I know, y'all saw no, no no, no, all
Speaker 1: of that. Some of those bad habits. Again, a real
Speaker 1: current theme is what we've been talking about all season,
Speaker 1: especially when adversity strikes. But when it comes down to
Speaker 1: Dak and just circling him right now, these these turnovers
Speaker 1: are happening at the wrong time, and they're happening in bunches.
Speaker 1: All right, it's not this one is followed up by two.
Speaker 1: He kept this one the one, but it was a
Speaker 1: pick six. It was dropped right before right before Payer,
Speaker 1: you dropped out. You know, let me get my change
Speaker 1: man right right him and going back to him again. Now,
Speaker 1: you guys, seriously, as as former players, you have those
Speaker 1: anecdotal stories about that quarterbacks that you played against that
Speaker 1: you know are prone to chuck. Ain't gonna give it up, right.
Speaker 1: We played with Romo, okay love, Romo had the Rome time,
Speaker 1: he had bad timing sometimes when he came to the
Speaker 1: interception and especially against Washington his pick six. So for
Speaker 1: you guys right now, I mean, after evaluating the again,
Speaker 1: you took it from I believe the Indianapolis game the
Speaker 1: last six games, but it's been his last seven games
Speaker 1: that he's turned it over going into the playoffs. As
Speaker 1: as defenders, as guys that played in this league, how
Speaker 1: does that set you off in your mind? I'm talking
Speaker 1: about for the other team. For what Tampa's thinking and
Speaker 1: what this defense is thinking about Dak Prescott and his performance. Well,
Speaker 1: if you're talking about from a Tampa perspective, I'm telling
Speaker 1: you right now, when you when you're in those meeting rooms,
Speaker 1: whether it's the full defense or whether it's just your
Speaker 1: secondary coach one on one of y'all sitting there talking
Speaker 1: their truth Dak Prescott right now, as though, like how
Speaker 1: we used to do you know a Carson Wentz or
Speaker 1: an Eli Manning or somebody like that, talented player, and
Speaker 1: if he gets hot, he he has the capability he's
Speaker 1: of tearing your defense up. But if you remain patient
Speaker 1: and stick with the game plan, he gonna throw you one.
Speaker 1: He gonna throw you one. And I'm telling you that's
Speaker 1: what they're talking about these beatings right now. Oh just wait,
Speaker 1: just way, just be patient, don't give up any cheap ones,
Speaker 1: make him go to long route, because eventually, in that
Speaker 1: twelve game or that twelve play drive down the field,
Speaker 1: he's gonna eventually give you one. He's gonna turn the
Speaker 1: ball over. So that's what they're talking about. Defensively on
Speaker 1: the other side of the field, in your own locker room,
Speaker 1: you gotta continue to half faith because because you've seen
Speaker 1: the guy pull you up from you know, just mediocrity.
Speaker 1: You've seen the guy, you know, all everything's down in
Speaker 1: the dumps. Man, we need to drive, and we've seen
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott be able to orchestrate one of those you know,
Speaker 1: amazing immaculate drives within the two minutes and all that
Speaker 1: good stuff. So you gotta continue to have faith in
Speaker 1: your guy. But I'm telling you, if it comes down
Speaker 1: to a continuous three and out and you're turning the
Speaker 1: football over and your defense is playing well enough to
Speaker 1: keep you in the game, but the offense continues to
Speaker 1: turn them football over, you're gonna start getting some side eyes.
Speaker 1: You're gonna start getting some guys coming to the sideline
Speaker 1: looking like it, because I mean, this is this is
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Man. This ain't we ain't we ain't in
Speaker 1: training camp right now. Man like this, you don't get
Speaker 1: the re up. You know what we need, We need
Speaker 1: you the ball. So they're gonna continue to have faith
Speaker 1: in him and hopefully he's able to get out of
Speaker 1: this rut. But don't side eyes, man, if he continues
Speaker 1: to throw them picks they're gonna start coming. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take it one still further. All right, this is what
Speaker 1: you're gonna get from tie bowls. All right, you're gonna
Speaker 1: get this, hey man, we are loading up the box.
Speaker 1: We are going to stop the run because what we
Speaker 1: see from our offenses, if we can't run the ball,
Speaker 1: then we're putting it all in Dak Prescott's hands. And
Speaker 1: you said our receivers can't get any separation. So if
Speaker 1: I could put eight in the box and I know
Speaker 1: that you can't get separations from my defensive backs, I'm
Speaker 1: bringing pressure and I'm trying to force you to make
Speaker 1: those mistakes. Hey, I think you're gonna see a lot
Speaker 1: of man to man or a lot of that playing
Speaker 1: at nine trying to get a three step read and
Speaker 1: then breaking on the ball, kind of how you see
Speaker 1: it from Washington. So I think I think that's gonna
Speaker 1: have to throw us into a witness this week because
Speaker 1: our running game, especially from Tennessee to now, just has
Speaker 1: not been where we had hoped it would be. Because
Speaker 1: during at the beginning of the season, we were leaning
Speaker 1: on the run game. Tony, all of this zea, let's
Speaker 1: do a third and short thunder lightning and for the
Speaker 1: last few weeks just have been happening. When Tennessee was there,
Speaker 1: Tony Pauler was out. I think Zeke average two yards
Speaker 1: to carry, and then we go into this game. We
Speaker 1: can't get the running game going. So that's something that
Speaker 1: we really need to focus on our notice because we
Speaker 1: have problems on the offensive line, but that is like
Speaker 1: a focal point of the week. We got. We don't
Speaker 1: play until Monday. We need to be working on how
Speaker 1: we can get creative in our run game to get
Speaker 1: us going. Because we know our quarterback and struggling at
Speaker 1: the moment. The quickest way to get them back on
Speaker 1: track is to get some long drive going third and
Speaker 1: short and get them some easy throws so we can
Speaker 1: get out there and make some noise against him. Let
Speaker 1: me ask you real quick, heck, I mean, I know,
Speaker 1: you break down a lot of film. We need color analysts.
Speaker 1: You break down a lot of film. When you when
Speaker 1: you're watching Dak Prescott out there and you see, you know,
Speaker 1: pre snap and all that good stuff, is it? You know,
Speaker 1: he's not like they're confusing him with the disguise and
Speaker 1: then post snap he's he's you know, he's he's he's
Speaker 1: locked in on one target. He's like, no matter what
Speaker 1: the defense shows, I'm throwing that or like, what what
Speaker 1: do you see out there in him? As far as
Speaker 1: why he's throwing these balls into coverage, I mean, it's
Speaker 1: not like, you know, he's throwing man, it was a
Speaker 1: barble it. He's throwing it right into the coverage of
Speaker 1: the flat corner was sitting right there. So in your
Speaker 1: mind you're breaking down film, what do you see? Why
Speaker 1: is he turning the ball over like this? You know,
Speaker 1: he played to me, he plays like a quarterback that's
Speaker 1: getting touched a lot, you know. And when you see
Speaker 1: a guy that's getting touched a lot, he tends to
Speaker 1: harry in the pocket, happy, happy feet and then he
Speaker 1: starts to pose because he doesn't trust what he's seeing.
Speaker 1: That so he's got two things working at the same time. Um,
Speaker 1: I go back to the interceptions. I watch him all
Speaker 1: he has to see, you know, all right, So who's fault?
Speaker 1: Whatever is this? And it's a it's always a combination
Speaker 1: of both. You know, either the ball is thrown behind
Speaker 1: the receiver or it hits the receiver, bounces up in
Speaker 1: the air and next thing you know there's a turnover
Speaker 1: on the last one to one the two interceptions that
Speaker 1: he threw in the one one was dropped. Um, I can't.
Speaker 1: I still can't decide. And I wish I could ask
Speaker 1: no or Brown what kind of route was that? You
Speaker 1: know what? Because of the angle that he took, I
Speaker 1: thought it was a bad route, but it was equally
Speaker 1: a bad ball. And so two things true at the
Speaker 1: same time. And you you can't you can't throw that. Nah,
Speaker 1: you can't throw it, you know. And I see quarterbacks
Speaker 1: from high school, the college level, pro level, it always
Speaker 1: ends the same way. When you're late in a way,
Speaker 1: yea late in a way. It always it's going on
Speaker 1: the way, d on head, behind the head. That guy's gone,
Speaker 1: the band stands up and starts playing. It's over with.
Speaker 1: And I don't know. Sometimes Dak is at the point
Speaker 1: where he believes in his arm. I just don't know
Speaker 1: if his arm is as strong as he thinks it is.
Speaker 1: Because the confidence to throw that knowing that the guy
Speaker 1: is sitting back and can drive on that pass, it's like,
Speaker 1: damn you, you really think you got can't even know
Speaker 1: if that's confidence. I think that's just a bad that's
Speaker 1: just a bad, bad decision about the quarterback. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: got other places to go with the ball, and you're
Speaker 1: athletic enough to run it. If you don't have nothing there,
Speaker 1: throw it away, get out the tackle box. You can't
Speaker 1: be giving away pick sixes like that, bro. And you
Speaker 1: should already have that scare, right. What happens when you
Speaker 1: get that initial scare? Hey man, you're driving right, you
Speaker 1: see the police. You were texting the driving, and then
Speaker 1: the police get behind you. Now you're aware. Now you're
Speaker 1: aware right all the way home. I'm just saying. And
Speaker 1: then you ain't gonna do it again, at least not
Speaker 1: on that drive. Yeah. Man, No, that's no that that's shocking.
Speaker 1: But the thing about it, and dany I opposed to
Speaker 1: both of you guys, is have you seen in his
Speaker 1: seven year career him be a turnover machine like this
Speaker 1: now said, I mean rookie year. He came in twenty sixteen,
Speaker 1: And that's what we apply to them so much for Like,
Speaker 1: that's why the team kind of got behind him as
Speaker 1: a as a starting quarterback because he one he took
Speaker 1: care of football and two he kind of just took
Speaker 1: with a defense. There was no forcing like now I
Speaker 1: feel like we see a lot of this forcing into
Speaker 1: tight windows and all that other stuff. Back then, it
Speaker 1: was kind of just let me dump this thing off
Speaker 1: in the flat, Let me dump this off the witten
Speaker 1: real quick. If the shot was there, he's gonna take
Speaker 1: the shot. But he didn't force anything in. Right now,
Speaker 1: I just don't see the disconnect on why we're, you know,
Speaker 1: throwing these tight windows and throwing in a double coverage.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I can't put my finger on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can't remember seeing it this bad. Um. I do
Speaker 1: remember us turning them all over in an alarming rate
Speaker 1: when Nolan was here. I think that was Mike McCarthy's
Speaker 1: first year nineteen. It was fumbles twenty. It was picks
Speaker 1: from Dak, fumbles from Dak. But we haven't I haven't
Speaker 1: seen them make bad decisions, like like some of them
Speaker 1: are like, okay, sack, force fumble, are you running? You're

Speaker 1: pick says. We're not gonna start the week off like this.
Speaker 1: We're not, we all said. And then the second and

Speaker 1: got CD out there, like I said, you got shots,
Speaker 1: you got t y and whatever we said about tis dropped.

Speaker 1: This is the Players Lounge. I got Danny mccraigberry church
Speaker 1: in the place to be and uh yeah, man, just
Speaker 1: you know, good vibes all around here. I saw slip
Speaker 1: some positives. Yeah man, come on, man, you're already reneguing
Speaker 1: on your New Year's resolution. Already some positive light? What
Speaker 1: is it? Danny? No, listen, we're gonna finish the niggai
Speaker 1: even get Oh no, he ain't gonna get to no
Speaker 1: positive right now. We gotta cover the defense and the
Speaker 1: special teams, which wherever y'all want to go first is
Speaker 1: all right with me? Because I'm telling you. I will
Speaker 1: say this for the defense, they were not put in
Speaker 1: advantageous positions all night long. And with the ten was
Speaker 1: it ten three and ounce? Ten three and ounce? In
Speaker 1: that game? At some point the you know, the damn's
Speaker 1: gonna break tea ready team ready, And we saw a
Speaker 1: lot and we saw a lot of that. The one,
Speaker 1: the one thing that just completely worries me right now
Speaker 1: on the defensive end is the other cornerback. Oh you
Speaker 1: said it, you know, the back number two. Now, I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna say this, guys. And I don't know if
Speaker 1: you guys noticed this during the game, but I did.
Speaker 1: I saw Dotson and McLaurin fighting to go to the
Speaker 1: other side. Yeah, the last one I didn't. I didn't
Speaker 1: like that. I did not like that for number thirty him. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm like, you are not gonna fight to go over
Speaker 1: to the other side of my man, Okay, but that
Speaker 1: was not a good look. That was not a good look.
Speaker 1: At the end of the night, I think Terry McCloy,
Speaker 1: especially Dotson, could have definitely gotten a PI for sure,
Speaker 1: that should have been a PI. But as far as
Speaker 1: the receiving game, man, we gave up a hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty nine yards receiving. On the rushing end, we gave
Speaker 1: up one hundred and fifty one yards on the ground,
Speaker 1: and all things being considered equal, you know that this
Speaker 1: will get you beat next week, dude, without a doubt
Speaker 1: to me. You know, there was three things that kind
Speaker 1: of kind of alarmed me a little bit about this defense.
Speaker 1: And we all understand. You know, these past couple of games,
Speaker 1: they haven't been playing, you know, like we saw them
Speaker 1: earlier in the year. And I attribute a lot of
Speaker 1: that to injuries, which they do have some injuries out there.
Speaker 1: But number one, you're talking about you going against a
Speaker 1: fifth round quarterback. I believe in Sam how never had
Speaker 1: a snap in the NFL at all. Most of the time,
Speaker 1: he was probably on practice quad the entire year because
Speaker 1: they were going from Winz to Heienik and all that
Speaker 1: good stuff. This is another example of this defense going
Speaker 1: to get somebody with little to no experience and making
Speaker 1: that quarterback why he belonged, but he could be a
Speaker 1: starter in the National Football League. The man went eleven
Speaker 1: and nineteen for one hundred and sixty nine yards. He
Speaker 1: looked efficient out there, and what else did we see
Speaker 1: from this quarterback? The athleticism. When he can be able
Speaker 1: to run out just a little bit, just a tad,
Speaker 1: it gives this defense multiple fits out there. I mean
Speaker 1: the guy rushed for a touchdown as well, And so
Speaker 1: to me, it's like, man, how is this defense as
Speaker 1: good as they can be? Making these guys Sam How
Speaker 1: Josh Dobbs, the guys from the Houston Texans, Davis Mills
Speaker 1: and was guys make them look like they belong out
Speaker 1: there like this. This defense should be able to put
Speaker 1: their foot on this team's throat and guy should have
Speaker 1: been done by halftime. But how kept the chains moving?
Speaker 1: Was out there was able to be efficient, which is
Speaker 1: extremely surprising to me. You already touched on one hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty one yards rushing and that's why. And it
Speaker 1: wasn't even they were without Gibson, with out Brian Robbins
Speaker 1: and their two top backs, and these guys still were
Speaker 1: able to put up one hundred and fifty one yards
Speaker 1: rushing on the ground against this vaunted DQ defense out there.
Speaker 1: And last but certainly not Leash, you touched on it
Speaker 1: a little bit. Heck, the number two corner spot, no
Speaker 1: matter if it's Mullin, no se right, I don't care
Speaker 1: who you through out there. They were under attack and
Speaker 1: like you said, they're fighting for the routes out there.
Speaker 1: Let me get them this time. No, no, McLaren and
Speaker 1: I got them this time, going deep on these guys,
Speaker 1: and it looked like to me, like like they couldn't
Speaker 1: play the game before. Right, your longest heck, you're one
Speaker 1: of the longest corners in the game. You use your hands.
Speaker 1: My guy was just out there shadow and letting these
Speaker 1: guys get free. Released and we've seen it time and
Speaker 1: time again. Mcclorin and Dotson, they got too much speed
Speaker 1: for you not to get your hands on them. The
Speaker 1: same thing with mullin. He's an experienced guy in his league.
Speaker 1: I think it was a former second round big and
Speaker 1: he was out there getting abused. All right. This is
Speaker 1: this is this is definitely worrisome to me because you
Speaker 1: talked about Tom Brady. He gonna look over there, but oh,
Speaker 1: then you're straight over there. I even gonna mess with you.
Speaker 1: Did Let me look over here with see what we've
Speaker 1: got going on over here, and he's going to dot
Speaker 1: apart that side of the field, especially if this pass
Speaker 1: rush can't get going. Now, that's the one positive. I
Speaker 1: will say about this defense yesterday, they were able to
Speaker 1: get after the quarterback. They have three sacks out there,
Speaker 1: was able to pressure them a little bit. But I'm
Speaker 1: telling y'all, man, if they don't figure out that cornerback
Speaker 1: spot or at least a game plan to where they
Speaker 1: can help that man out there buzzing under the flats
Speaker 1: or having a safety overtop, they're gonna get picked apart
Speaker 1: by Tom Brady. They are gonna get ridiculously picked apart
Speaker 1: out there. So quarterback number two, you're under attack. This
Speaker 1: defense overall, they've got to step it up. They got
Speaker 1: and I'm tired of this. You know, Hey, we're playing
Speaker 1: against Sam How let's get our you know, we're playing
Speaker 1: down to the competition. Now, how man, that's a mind say,
Speaker 1: you gotta go out there, whoever's that, don't care if
Speaker 1: it's the Goat or Sam How, We're gonna stop this
Speaker 1: team out. But you don't see that, you see him
Speaker 1: playing down to the competition or like you said, d
Speaker 1: Mac last week, maybe that's just who they are. Maybe there,
Speaker 1: you know, it is not a you know, switch or
Speaker 1: level to this. Maybe that's just who they are. And
Speaker 1: it's slightly concerning especially heading into the playoff next week.
Speaker 1: But listen, actually got one question. Have we learned how
Speaker 1: to stop the run? Is? This is the catalyst to
Speaker 1: every problem that you have on defense. This is why
Speaker 1: Sam Howe could come in there and go eleven for
Speaker 1: nineteen hundred and sixty nine yards eleven nineteen passes because
Speaker 1: they're running the ball on you. He's running the ball
Speaker 1: on you. How many advantageous third downs do they have? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can't stop the run. You can't do nothing that
Speaker 1: everything is open to the offensive coordinator when he's calling
Speaker 1: the plays. When you cannot stop the run, now you
Speaker 1: on your hills because you gotta figure out one. You
Speaker 1: gotta add extra resources in there to try to stop
Speaker 1: the run. Or you got players who are cheating up
Speaker 1: a little bit because they know that you are having
Speaker 1: an issue with getting the run game stopped and that
Speaker 1: ain't letting you get to your pass rush. So if
Speaker 1: you can't figure out, I know we'll get into Tampa.
Speaker 1: If you can't figure out how to stop Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: from running the ball, the game is over before it starts.
Speaker 1: It's over before it starts. Mike Evans Godwin playoff, Lenny whoever,
Speaker 1: it is if you can't stop the running, we ain't
Speaker 1: been able to do it for the last five weeks.
Speaker 1: Did Tennessee have Derek Henry? Did they run the ball
Speaker 1: on us? Did Jacksonville run the ball on us? Something
Speaker 1: we have not. You have to figure out a way
Speaker 1: to stop the run or you are going to struggle
Speaker 1: on defense, especially when you play against better competition. This
Speaker 1: was not better competition. But you gotta stop the round.
Speaker 1: I don't know how they do it. Lady Vanders coming back, hopefully, Hanks,
Speaker 1: that'll be something that will hopefully get you ready to
Speaker 1: stop the run. But until you do that, you're gonna
Speaker 1: keep running into these same issues. That's why your second
Speaker 1: cornerback is always gonna be an issue because they don't
Speaker 1: even know what they what they're looking for when they
Speaker 1: get out there. Hey man, it's it thirty long and
Speaker 1: third and short's And that's my question to you guys,
Speaker 1: ask former dvs in the NFL. When you see tray
Speaker 1: von Mullen already with the ninth nine yard cushion and
Speaker 1: then he gets beat, what does that tell you? As
Speaker 1: you know, former dbs in this league, you know and
Speaker 1: not it. It just happened to him. It happened to
Speaker 1: Kelvin Joseph too, the same way, the damn near identical route,
Speaker 1: except for that one didn't go to the house. What
Speaker 1: do you say when you see two guys get beat
Speaker 1: the same way? Man like, I gotta see I gotta
Speaker 1: resee it on the film. I gotta know of his
Speaker 1: eyes are back inside on the quarterback? What coverage are
Speaker 1: they playing? Are you playing one, cover two, cover three?
Speaker 1: Is it a mixed coverage or is this you just
Speaker 1: getting beat man to man? Are your eyes supposed to
Speaker 1: be on your guy? You playing nine yards off and
Speaker 1: somehow you get ran by. If that is the case,
Speaker 1: then you have a problem. If they're trying to read
Speaker 1: to the one and the cover three or figure out
Speaker 1: zone coverage or route concepts, then that's something you could
Speaker 1: possibly fix. My calling man a man. But if you
Speaker 1: just getting beat man a man like that by playing
Speaker 1: nine yards old, yeah, then you're just probably not the
Speaker 1: guy for the job. Yeah, And I can't really put
Speaker 1: my finger on it because I would go to coaching.
Speaker 1: But again, it can't be coaching because if you see
Speaker 1: what you know, Digs and Bland and those guys are
Speaker 1: able to do from out here junior or our Harris
Speaker 1: out there. Then it can't be the coaching. Maybe you know,
Speaker 1: it could be into the film, studdy, not looking at
Speaker 1: your indicators where the wide receivers lined up, because that's
Speaker 1: half of the battle. If you understand the indicators and
Speaker 1: where the wide receivers lined up, you understand it. He
Speaker 1: only has maybe four or five routes from wherever he's
Speaker 1: lined up at. But you know, I can see in
Speaker 1: Mulla's case, Hey man, I just got here. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to pick up the defense. We're trying to
Speaker 1: do all that stuff. So I can't really dive into
Speaker 1: the film like I want to. But man is man's
Speaker 1: own his own. Yeah, you got you gotta read the room.
Speaker 1: If the man is coming steaming at you, you got
Speaker 1: the deep third, You give up all that comeback stuff.
Speaker 1: But make sure you get on your horse and make
Speaker 1: sure you're on top this guy, him and right, both
Speaker 1: of those guys getting ran by Rambaut. I know McLaurin
Speaker 1: got speed. I understand that he's a fast dude, but
Speaker 1: that should you should read that. Understand that. Look who
Speaker 1: you're going against. This man can take the top off
Speaker 1: of building. Let me go ahead, and get back in
Speaker 1: that third. If you catch these underneath Ross, all right, Fan,
Speaker 1: we'll rally up and tackle it. But those big explosive plays,
Speaker 1: those are the plays that are gonna destroy your defense.
Speaker 1: It's especially when it comes down to a quarterback. Brady
Speaker 1: and Mike gets You gotta understand who you're going against
Speaker 1: and where you're out on the field, Shot Jones, all
Speaker 1: that good stuff. So so so you're saying the linement
Speaker 1: of the receivers can help you. This is this is
Speaker 1: I don't play cornerback, but I'm saying we all been
Speaker 1: in the locker room. We've been a locker room before.
Speaker 1: Defensive back. Locker room formations can tell you a lot.
Speaker 1: Yes one all right, you line up at three by one,
Speaker 1: you playing zone, You start to see guys disappear. It's
Speaker 1: just you. You You gotta get back there. You know your
Speaker 1: safety is leaning. If you on the backside of three
Speaker 1: by one, is just you. The one thing you know
Speaker 1: is I can't get beat deep. Everything that gets caught
Speaker 1: gets caught in front of me. Is okay, it's okay.
Speaker 1: But if you get beat over the top and those
Speaker 1: type of coverages, where ain't nobody back there to help you?
Speaker 1: That's what you lose that. So these are the type
Speaker 1: of things where you like, hey man, the one thing
Speaker 1: that cannot happening, cannot happen. It's happening, and you gotta
Speaker 1: find a way to get that fixed. On defense because
Speaker 1: Mike Evans is coming at you. God when it's coming in.
Speaker 1: So you can't take Bland out there and put him
Speaker 1: at number one at the number two spot because he
Speaker 1: needs to be in the slot. So you gotta fig
Speaker 1: this thing out. You got till Monday. Now. I left
Speaker 1: us enough runway to end on a positive note. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna take our last break. Ye take, We're gonna
Speaker 1: take our last breaking. I would allow these guys to
Speaker 1: get pull out there the crystals, their rocks or whatever
Speaker 1: positive positivity they balk rocks. Yea, my wife, guys, there's
Speaker 1: positive rocks. Anyway, we'll be back with more playflouds chatter.

Speaker 1: hear that, I'm a torrential downpour. Torrential what does that

Speaker 1: let's go. And I didn't hear a lot of positivity
Speaker 1: during the break, So let me just say how we're
Speaker 1: gonna get there. Bro, We're good. Maybe we're gonna do
Speaker 1: everything that we possibly can't. And also we did not
Speaker 1: mention the special teams. Um obviously Anger you know bought
Speaker 1: his fumble fingers to the party yesterday. Who else? Uh?
Speaker 1: And Cat Turpin not the Pro Bowl? He thought he
Speaker 1: was getting cut Bowl. He must be maybe maybe he
Speaker 1: knows something we don't know. Careful, he already was on
Speaker 1: the on the slippery ice. He already could feel the hatchet.
Speaker 1: I don't know. You better be careful, bro, you lose
Speaker 1: a game like that. Has anyone ever? Has anybody ever
Speaker 1: been cut in the Pro I guess he came now,
Speaker 1: but and the like he can't made the Pro Bowl
Speaker 1: and get cut in the same I'm sure some dudes
Speaker 1: and got dirty like that. You fumbling the playoffs like
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised, especially he's got to get the
Speaker 1: stuff right, man, look at my herb. It was you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess you're looking for some positive, maybe a little bit.
Speaker 1: I trust, even my her didn't come to trust, but
Speaker 1: I trust my kickers still. I don't know. I trust
Speaker 1: he makes the big time kicks up the season. So
Speaker 1: you want to be positive? Okay, all right, there you
Speaker 1: go there? That is yeah. I like CJ still, so
Speaker 1: shout out boss man fan actually made a play. He
Speaker 1: was hustling on teams, he's bostling fat into and he
Speaker 1: makes it. Okay, yeah, he made a player. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to give him some positive. You ask for positive, I'm
Speaker 1: getting you positive. All right, You got CJ. You still
Speaker 1: got Kelvin Joseph out there, who as long as he's
Speaker 1: not making foolish penalties, he's still an impact player on
Speaker 1: special teams. And I still have trust faith in my
Speaker 1: kicker that we have to put the game in his hands,
Speaker 1: which it may come down too, because you know, it's
Speaker 1: just what it is when we play Temple, that he
Speaker 1: may be able to make the play. The Cowboys have
Speaker 1: never lost back to back games. It's a positive. We're
Speaker 1: searching for positives here. Damn talk about from the game.
Speaker 1: I'd let you talking about positives the game. I'm talking
Speaker 1: about a positive. Come on, I just dug in the
Speaker 1: crate for that. We have it. Bro, we're still talking
Speaker 1: about Washington. You're talking about back to back game all
Speaker 1: season the trends. That trend is irrelevant and we lost
Speaker 1: back to back. I got a positive. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: So this is just the first game in a while,
Speaker 1: and I'll be it against Sam How and all that
Speaker 1: good stuff. That that that defensive line was able to
Speaker 1: get home three different times on three different occases, they
Speaker 1: were able to get sacks. So that's at least trending
Speaker 1: in the right direction. A previous to that, it was
Speaker 1: what one sack in four games, So you know they
Speaker 1: got some positives in that regard. You to that third down,
Speaker 1: I'll be it against you know, Sam How. They held,
Speaker 1: you know Washington. I believe with three of fourteen or
Speaker 1: three of eighteen, that's a percentage you can live with.
Speaker 1: Then you can do that on a regular basis. You
Speaker 1: can live with that. And then lastly, um, you look
Speaker 1: at Tony Poller. The man had his first season as
Speaker 1: a Dallas Cowboys. He rushed over a thousand yards. All right,
Speaker 1: the man got over a thousand yards against uh, you know,
Speaker 1: Washington out there for the full season. So to me,
Speaker 1: you know that that's so positive, you know, But he
Speaker 1: went over, Hey, I'm just saying, man, that's what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: try again, try again, positive from this game. Okay. It's
Speaker 1: the comments that I read that curse made. He's like,
Speaker 1: hey man, I don't know what's going on, but we
Speaker 1: we just don't know what to do to get it right,
Speaker 1: which to me, it shows awareness that y'all need to
Speaker 1: figure something out. They are aware that this ain't This
Speaker 1: ain't acceptable, you know what I'm saying, Not just like,
Speaker 1: hey man, it was we gotta excuse we don't really
Speaker 1: know what the hell's going on with the number one
Speaker 1: and two see none of that. Hey man, we don't know,
Speaker 1: but it's our job to go ahead and figure it out.
Speaker 1: That's true. And you know, Chris, tell me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: But did Michael Parsons say something about, hey man, if
Speaker 1: you out here playing for Pro Bowls and all the
Speaker 1: other stuff and the stats and he said that and
Speaker 1: then see they see see and I, like Mike, I
Speaker 1: just don't understand that gives people the opportunity to come
Speaker 1: in and say who who we talk about? Yeah? Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: but see, but that's the type of frustration that sets
Speaker 1: in when you go five games to playing the way
Speaker 1: that you've played on defense. We need to get it together.
Speaker 1: I trust that that Curse is one of the leaders
Speaker 1: on the defense, can help this defense get back on
Speaker 1: track at least at least for this this game against Tampa.
Speaker 1: And I think the Marcus Lawrence can get them ready
Speaker 1: to play too as them follow me with my gameplay,
Speaker 1: not by what I say. If you want to know
Speaker 1: how to play the game, I got this from the
Speaker 1: Marcus where hopefully Hall of Famer this year, follow me,
Speaker 1: watch I'll play and play like me. So hopefully that's
Speaker 1: what they're getting. Like this is one of them wake
Speaker 1: up moments. I don't know if they woke up for
Speaker 1: the last five games. I don't know if it was
Speaker 1: like because they got away with for them m I
Speaker 1: don't know if they woke up. Hopefully this time they
Speaker 1: woke up, so I think that'd be a possible. Hey man,
Speaker 1: we don't play right, we gotta ask whoop, just like
Speaker 1: we just got whooped this week. So hopefully that is
Speaker 1: a positive for them, and they know that they can't
Speaker 1: sleep walk in in a game versus Tampa Bay on
Speaker 1: Monday night in Tampa. In Tampa, they're making us wait
Speaker 1: seven days. And I think you without asking y'all, I
Speaker 1: feel like y'all have belief that they can fix this
Speaker 1: in seven days. Danny, you do believe they can fix
Speaker 1: these problems Saturday, Bro, you gotta ask me that on Thursday.
Speaker 1: Ask you what I saw in that game. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you cannot. We have not shown that we
Speaker 1: can stop the run. They're getting some help, you know what.
Speaker 1: I need them to tell me that they made them.
Speaker 1: But I said, bro, if if you line up in there,
Speaker 1: get Tom Brady to run about forty times when you, Bro,
Speaker 1: they don't. He don't have to throw five hundred yards.
Speaker 1: He will check run on you every time. We've seen it.
Speaker 1: When they played with the paper, they would check run
Speaker 1: on you all day. And that's been the thing about
Speaker 1: Tampa this entire season. That running game has completely failed
Speaker 1: them and that's why they are in the pickle that
Speaker 1: they are in right now. But just give me the
Speaker 1: playoff game. No, well, just like just like us, you know,
Speaker 1: just like us. But the last game that we played
Speaker 1: against him. Just to give you some context to that
Speaker 1: last matchup, one hundred and fifty two yards on the
Speaker 1: ground for Tampa Bay and two hundred and twelve yards
Speaker 1: in the air. That sounds like a hell of a
Speaker 1: RUSSA game. Yeah, one hundred and fifty two uh Leonard
Speaker 1: Leonard for NETT twenty one one twenty seven. Tell you
Speaker 1: six yards average per carross coming in. Don't stop the round.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you we'll be right back here for the
Speaker 1: last players. The season happened quick, Yeah, quick, it happened quick.
Speaker 1: And and dak fourteen of twenty nine, one thirty four
Speaker 1: and an interceptions, and that game we only had seventy
Speaker 1: one yards rushing and one hundred and ninety eight yards
Speaker 1: in the air. So ugly game by the Cowboys. One
Speaker 1: of the most forgettable games that we played all season.
Speaker 1: Then we played this one last night and we had
Speaker 1: to put both of those together. But we got seven
Speaker 1: days to get this thing together. As you do know,
Speaker 1: Newi Shrugs is in Los Angeles getting ready for the
Speaker 1: National Championship with his TCU horn Frogs, going up against
Speaker 1: the Georgia Bulldogs. This is going to be a hell
Speaker 1: of a matchup tonight. We hadn't got picks on this show,
Speaker 1: so I will ask you, Danny, who do you have
Speaker 1: for tonight? They gotta make us look good. Baby, I'm
Speaker 1: going with George. I think Georgia are gonna win. Am
Speaker 1: My rooting for them? No, I'm actually rooting for TCU,
Speaker 1: but
