6
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: brought to you by Jigsaw Dating. We are talking playoffs, folks,

7
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: and normally I think a lot of people would be

8
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: excited about that heading into the postseason. Guys. I was

9
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: in Washington for this one, and it was a very deflated,

10
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: very quiet locker room. Clarencehill and I were talking about it.

11
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: Dak just seems stunned after Haley, I know you talked

12
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,639
Speaker 1: to at least one player in the locker room. What

13
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: was sort of their reasoning for the epic collapse not

14
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: on just one phase, but all three phases of the game. Yeah,

15
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: I think they just went into this one kind of

16
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: underestimating what that last game was going to look like.

17
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: I think they really figured that their roster matched up

18
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: better than Washington's roster, and at the end of the day,

19
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: they were a little underprepared and as a result, they

20
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: got smacked in the mouth really early and just never

21
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: really found that rhythm. They never really found that bounce

22
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: back period. But what I will say is I remember

23
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: being in the locker room after the Jacksonville game, and

24
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: I mean that loss probably hurt them more than any

25
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: one of the season. You know, I think the Packers

26
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: was very similar, but the Jacksonville one just felt like

27
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: they were in a funk for a while, whereas today

28
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: I felt like they were a lot more fresh. They

29
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: were a lot more open to speaking. I know he

30
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: spent a lot of time talking to Jayron Curse you

31
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: did as well. He had a lot of spring in

32
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: his step, which is really important. I think he's become

33
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: one of the big leaders on this team. So it

34
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: was positive to know that they recognized that they didn't

35
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: play their best ball. They identified why they hadn't played

36
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: their best ball. They're ready to put that in the past,

37
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: and they feel really confident. I mean, jay Ron, even

38
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: when I asked me, I said, where's your confidence level

39
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 1: after that game? And he goes, I'm thinking, I'm trying

40
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: to think of a way that I can put this

41
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: in the best way. I'm trying to think of the

42
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: best number. But I can tell you it's over one

43
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 1: hundred percent, So I mean, at the very least, they're

44
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: feeling good. They're in a much better spirit. And again,

45
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: as he pointed out, as we've pointed out, they haven't

46
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: lost back to back games this season, so that gives

47
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: me a little bit of confidence as well. Yeah, Hayley,

48
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: he said we didn't have a lot of time for

49
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: woe is me, and that's true, And he also said

50
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: that this is sort of an opportunity for everyone to reset,

51
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: and I think all of us kind of do that, right,

52
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: even we just did a lot of that. A lot

53
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 1: is at the new year. It doesn't really mean much

54
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: that it turned from twenty twenty two to twenty twenty three,

55
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: but sometimes you sort of need a mental reset to

56
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: say today and moving forward is going to be different.

57
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: So let's hope that's what the Cowboys do. But before

58
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: we dive in, let's talk about the daunting stat task

59
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: of overcoming and drawing a team like Tom Brady. That's

60
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: why I thought trying to improve their seating was so

61
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: important because I think it would have been better if

62
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: they'd gone through the other bracket, right, because then you

63
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: would have avoided going through Tom Brady. Tom Brady has

64
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 1: seven and in his career against the Cowboys. We've talked

65
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: a lot about that this week leading up to the game.

66
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: Most wins without a loss by any QB versus the

67
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys all time. Brady has never played the Cowboys in

68
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 1: the postseason, but he's three and oh against Dak Prescott

69
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: in his career. And this was another crazy little stat

70
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: that we had earlier. Tom Brady since two thousand has

71
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: eleven times more playoff appearances than the Cowboys. He has

72
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: more playoff He has as many playoff appearances thirty five

73
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: as the Cowboys in their entire franchise history. So this

74
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: is a guy that knows what the postseason looks like,

75
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: how to win in the postseason. But you know we've

76
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: been talking about this is a different Tom Brady this season.

77
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: He's actually logging worst ever and a lot of statistical categories.

78
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: I just still this is a guy I don't think

79
00:03:53,440 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: you overestimate, underestimate I think more importantly for the Cowboys,

80
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: and I think they talked about this a little bit today,

81
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy. This game is going to come down to

82
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: you less about trying to beat Tom Brady and more

83
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: about not beating themselves. Yeah every week. Yeah, week, we're

84
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: miss saying that every week. Yeah, And I feel like

85
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: they beat themselves with the same mistakes. You have the

86
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: mental focus, the pre snap penalties, of course I've bring

87
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: that up right, but you also have just it seems

88
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: like the miscues and the miscommunication is something I always

89
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: go back to. But it shows when they're all confused

90
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: and schematically, nobody knows what's going on. Guys are missing

91
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: their routes, nobody knows what they're doing. It's just so

92
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: obvious when they are in their own heads and beating themselves.

93
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean this is a What's interesting is

94
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: is I started to deep dive into Tom Brady because

95
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: specifically throughout this season, because it's very easy to get

96
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: caught up in the historic Tom Brady. Like you said, though, Jane,

97
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: this is the first time he's going into the post

98
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: season with a losing record in his career. So I

99
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,239
Speaker 1: got a little curious because all we keep hearing about

100
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: is how this isn't the same Tom Brady. Well why

101
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: is that? I started deep diving into all eighteen weeks

102
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: of the season for the Bucks. The only trend I've

103
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: noticed is this Bucks team will score in the second

104
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: half of these games, so fourth quarter and the first

105
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 1: time that they score a touchdown in the game in

106
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: the second half. That was eight games, five of which

107
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: that they won. They scored the first touchdown in seven

108
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: games this season against any opponent, one being against the Cowboys,

109
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: but they scored first four times that they won. So

110
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: this is going to be a game of who can

111
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: score first. And specifically, I'm not talking about kickers, because

112
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: their kicker he has had a season, he has been

113
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: put to work time and time again. But I'm saying,

114
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: you have to score touchdowns in this game. You have

115
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: to be active in the red zone. You have to

116
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: make sure that if you're the Cowboys and you get

117
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: that possession first or whenever you get your first drive,

118
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: you are scoring that touchdown, because that is going to

119
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: start to help you slay that Tom Brady dragon early on.

120
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: So you're saying ten three a game is not what

121
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are aiming for. Swbrady, Please, no, no, you

122
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: you brought up the point about them. Um, well, I've

123
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: really been looking, like to you, I've been looking at

124
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: their offense and just how different it was it is

125
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: from even at the beginning of the year. But really, um,

126
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: when they can play the Cowboys because they they can

127
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: run the ball. Their offensive line, just like the Cowboys,

128
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: has taken a lot of hits, and um, I know

129
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: they possible year are going to be getting some guys

130
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: back here soon, but it's really their inability to take

131
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: to run the ball puts a lot of pressure on

132
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: their offense to have to pass. So coming into this game,

133
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: I really feel like that's that's what they're gonna intend

134
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: to do. And even so even what they're passing, they're

135
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: gonna try and do intermediate stuff. They're trying to get

136
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: the ball out of his hand quickly because throwing down

137
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: field is just not the most conducive because you don't

138
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: want him getting lit up, so him don't like that. Um.

139
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: So that's that's really what is different to me with

140
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: this offense specifically now from the last time you played them,

141
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 1: is that they ran the ball very easily for the

142
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: most part. And um, and you couldn't Sorry, I mean

143
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: that sound a terrible didn't articles, But yeah, not like

144
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: this is very dramatic. Oh no, it wasn't it to

145
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: be dramatic. But now you couldn't run the ball, well,

146
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: you didn't run the ball because Ezekiel Elliot ran the

147
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: ball fairly decently last I watched it last night and

148
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, and then it was just passing

149
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: the ball, passing the ball. And then their linebackers told

150
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: you they knew the plays that you could tell that

151
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: the defense knew what was going on. I talked about

152
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: this on our show earlier. To your point about the

153
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: run game, they want to establish the run. They want

154
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: to be a run first game, but they want to

155
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: be able to run efficiently. And when you start seeing

156
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: them move away from the run game, it's because they're

157
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: not being able to do it efficiently, and they're not

158
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: being able to do it efficiently lately because of some

159
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: of the offensive line shifts. And you know, sometimes we're

160
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: watching the game, we're not really looking closely at check

161
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: why things are collapsed, why the pockets collapsing, why the

162
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: run games not getting going, And as it was explained

163
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: to me, not having Tyler Beotish there really is a

164
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: problem because it's not just Tyler Beodish. When you've got

165
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: to pull Tyler Beiodish out of the game, you're putting

166
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: Connor mc government in a position that he doesn't play

167
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: that much. Then you're moving Chase and Peters to a

168
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: position that he's barely played the season, and then you're

169
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: asking your rookie to kick out, you know, kick inside

170
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: rather to left guard, while Peters goes to left tackle.

171
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: And so three different guys that are typically not on

172
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: that line. It's their fourth offensive line combination this season.

173
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: It creates a problem for communication. And then what they're

174
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: noticing across the line is these last minute defensive line shifts.

175
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: So they're showing you a look like, oh, I'm going

176
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: to rush through the B gap or the A gap,

177
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: and then they're quickly changing it, and that offensive line

178
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: in the runners can't adjust in time. And apparently that's

179
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: been a problem a lot this season with some of

180
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: the injuries. But I was told Tampa is particularly good

181
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: at doing a defensive line shift at the last second.

182
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: And then the linebackers for Washington were running right at

183
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: the run back the running backs. I was told the

184
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: problem when you're dealing with Tampa Bay is these guys

185
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: are really physical. They're really aggressive. So if you are

186
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: aggressive as a running back, you're going to get beat

187
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: on some swim move. They'll swim move on you. And

188
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: so that they're saying, you know, the message to the

189
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: running backs this week is be patient, have a good

190
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: base underneath you anchor make sure it's all about the fundamentals.

191
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: And yeah, I think all of us kind of think

192
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: it's kind of a throwaway when they talk about it, simplify,

193
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: get back to the fundamentals. But when they've lost games

194
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: like the Packers game, we've talked about their response, Remember

195
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: it was after that we just got to get back

196
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: to the fundamentals. And then they right, yeah, And so

197
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: it's a possibility to do it here because for the

198
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: reasons we've talked about, Tom Brady is a bit of

199
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: a boogeyman as it relates to the Cowboys, but he's

200
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: also doing things he's never done before this season, things

201
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: that have been uncharacteristic of them. And we were even

202
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: kicking around on media match this might be one of

203
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: the worst teams that Tom Brady has fielded. Oh yeah,

204
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 1: and especially when you're talking in terms of the O

205
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: line and the struggles they've faced this season, because what's

206
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: interesting enough is this is going to be a game

207
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 1: of O line against O line really when you look

208
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: at it, specifically in that center position, because the Bucks

209
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: are also struggling with their center and what does that

210
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 1: lead back to? That leads back to the miscommunication that

211
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: you've seen. Even on the Cowboys said the Balls if

212
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: you want to relate anything to that, Tyler Biodish was

213
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: great with the communication and that factor alone, taking that

214
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: away that showed in the Washington game. But the Bucks

215
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 1: are dealing with the same thing. I mean, Robert Hainsey

216
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: also had an injury that Todd Balls is being very

217
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: mischievous about. And that also brought up the question for

218
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: Ryan Jensen is he coming back? There's been a lot

219
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: of speculation what's going to happen with that? Can he

220
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: come off of IR? He has to by the end

221
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: of the week. So you're either going to be facing

222
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 1: Ryan Jensen, who is coming out of this IR situation

223
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: being expected to take all of these snaps in a

224
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: full workload, where you're going to be facing a third

225
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: string center for the Bucks, which they don't really have

226
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: other options. So to me, when I look at this

227
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,079
Speaker 1: whole game, it's going to come down to O line

228
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 1: and O line specifically, which center can communicate more and

229
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: healthy offense as a whole. All right, Well, let's go

230
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: ahead and take our first break. When we come back,

231
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: we talked a little bit as some of the offensive

232
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: line woes. Let's talk about some of the defensive challenges

233
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: because in the last five games we are not seeing

234
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: pressure upfront. And what you need to do with Tom

235
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: Brady is make sure that he's filling pressure in the pocket.

236
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: So this is the week to do it, Cowboys players.

280
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: we're sort of giving nobody wants to hear excuses. Right.

281
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: There's plenty of teams that are in the postseason that

282
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: have had to overcome a number of injuries to their

283
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: starters and certain players, and they've done so admirably. The

284
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys have had a number of injuries this season, specifically

285
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: to key starting positions, and look at them. They're still

286
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: twelve and five heading in the playoffs to face Tom

287
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: Brady and hopefully survive in advance. But as much as

288
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: we talked about the offensive line and some of their struggles, defensively,

289
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: we've seen a lot of rotating on the defensive line,

290
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:11,719
Speaker 1: particularly the interior defensive lineman. And as was explained to me,

291
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: I said, why aren't we seeing more pressure on the

292
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: quarterback lately? And I was told they're not cohesively rushing

293
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: as a unit. And some of that is because of

294
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: some of this interior line change, and some of that

295
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: is on the one hand, you're finding out who you've

296
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: got and what they've got before you get in the playoffs. Okay,

297
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: so you're dan Quin's doing a little bit of a

298
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: sample size there, right. The other issue is you've had injuries, right,

299
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: But as I was described to me, is when you've

300
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: got these two interior defensive linemen pushing the unit and

301
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: you're not rushing as a unit cohesively, you should be

302
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: getting three to five steps. That's what these guys should

303
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: be doing. And what you're doing is you are you

304
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: are collapsing the pocket around the quarterback, getting pressure to

305
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: them instead of giving them time. And so that's why

306
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: in recent weeks we've seen Josh Dobbs and Sam how

307
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: looked so good? Is they got a lot of time

308
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: back there in the pocket. And in the last five games,

309
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are giving up ten more points a game,

310
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: and I think they through averaging two point eight less sacks,

311
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: and so I think that when you've got a guy

312
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: like Tom Brady, this is the week you need the

313
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: pass rush to step up. This is a guy who

314
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: is going to hurt you with his arm, and so

315
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: I just thought that that was really really interesting. We

316
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: talked about the fact that Jonathan Hankins is going to

317
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,239
Speaker 1: come back. That's going to be huge. I think specifically

318
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: when you consider you've got Leonard Fournette, who Leonard Fournette

319
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: has not had a huge season, but when he's had moments,

320
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: he's had moments and taken advantage correct And I think

321
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: it's also key that you're getting Laton Vanderesh back right,

322
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: and so they have been missing key pieces. And we'll

323
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: get into the cornerback position here in a little bit,

324
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: but when we're just talking about that sort of front seven,

325
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: that's been one of the areas of concern. I used

326
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: to know, you look at a lot of the tape,

327
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: what are you seeing when you look at that defensive

328
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: front and some of the struggles that they've had in

329
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: recent weeks. Now you mentioned it, you hit on the head.

330
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: We talked about it earlier this week. With the rotations

331
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: sometimes you have with Dank trying to figure out what

332
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: he has and what he doesn't have. He's been playing guys.

333
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: Some of the gentlemen you see playing DT. Some of

334
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: them are better pass rushing, some of them are better

335
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: you know, actually two gaping or whatever. And you so

336
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: when he's doing these mixes and stuff, you have some

337
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: guys doing things that they're not accustomed to doing or

338
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: doing well. So with the injuries, you have to have

339
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: guys fill in also too. You have to think about

340
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: the amount of reps that guys are getting that they

341
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: typically maybe wouldn't the beginning before. So I am looking

342
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: at obviously with them getting healthier, them having more flexibility there.

343
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: But Mike McCarthy mentioned just how important Laton vander Rush

344
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: is to this defense, and he said something that totally

345
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: I totally forgot about is that he is the green dot.

346
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: And when that when he put in that put that

347
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: in perspective for me. I thought about the fact he

348
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: was like Malie Cooker and jay Ron Curse have had

349
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: to you know, take the green dot and when you

350
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: look at even what's going on with the secondary, the

351
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: idea of Layton being able to come in and man

352
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: the front seven and the secondary being able to just

353
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: be quarterbacked kind of as a unit again and not

354
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: having a word those guys having to worry about what's

355
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: going down in the box. I feel like that could

356
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: also you know, you know, I guess pivot the conversation

357
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: from how the defense is going to be defending the

358
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: run and stuff, because it's tricky when you've got guys

359
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: in the secondary that are having to come up front,

360
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: set your your defense and then run. But Eric Weddle

361
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 1: used to do it a lot for the Ravens. I

362
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 1: remember talking to him about that they don't have a

363
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,239
Speaker 1: lot of guys doing that for a reason, and jay

364
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: Ron Curse did a great job of it. But I

365
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: think Mike McCarthy talked about, you know, Layton vander Esch

366
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: said a great season. I remember when they were sort

367
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: of playing with Jaylen Smith wearing the green dot and

368
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: then they would send it back to Laton Vanderesh. But

369
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: Layton does seem to have a really good handle on

370
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: this group. I think jay Ron Curse did a great job.

371
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: But I think it allows the flexibility. Because I was

372
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: asking Mike McCarthy, I wasn't looking at it from from

373
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: that viewpoint. I was thinking it was just freeing up

374
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons to be able to have a little bit

375
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: more freedom and flexibility to play them on the ball

376
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: or off the ball. I didn't even think about how

377
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: it allows some flexibility and you know, allowing guys like

378
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: Jay Ron Curs and Willie Cookerd focus on their assignment

379
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: as versus getting the guys set. Yeah. Absolutely, and just

380
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: even with Malik just having you know, obviously with the

381
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: cornerback two stuff, I know, just him being able to

382
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: help out there and not have to worry about helping

383
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: out in the box. But also to the cornerbacks, these

384
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks, to Ron Bland Nisham right, those guys coming

385
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: up and tackling and run support, I think is going

386
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: to continue to help you. Especially with Hankins coming back

387
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 1: and that size being there. It's going to allow your

388
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: linebackers to be free and your dbs to be free

389
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 1: and really try to contain these edges, which is what

390
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: they gotta do in this game because Leonard tore them

391
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: up last time. Yep. Yeah, I think it'll be nice

392
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: just to get that sense of normalcy back. I think

393
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: that's really what's been missing over the last five weeks.

394
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: You mentioned the offensive line being in four different combinations

395
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: so far this season. I think that speaks to the

396
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball as well. You've had to

397
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: make a lot of adjustments. And I've said this for

398
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: weeks now, you never know what you have until it's gone. Yeah,

399
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: and now, how much do you appreciate some of these

400
00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 1: guys Layton Bandress, Hargadly be honest, like these starting Terrence Still.

401
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: I think just from a mental standpoint with these players,

402
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: I think you know the schematics, the details of it,

403
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,959
Speaker 1: they've had it. It's just been difficult because they've been

404
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: moving around, jumping from place to place, trying to adjust

405
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: or maintain if you will. So I think not only

406
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,679
Speaker 1: do you get your leader back in Laton Vanderesh, but

407
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: you just get that sense of normalcy, that comfortability back,

408
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: and then you can kind of get you know, the

409
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: question of well this is this defense still elite? Now

410
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 1: you kind of see when it was elite, why it was,

411
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: and now you get that back and you get an opportunity.

412
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: I think you mix in the motivation factor of last

413
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: year's playoff that they talk about but not so much

414
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 1: talk about. You know, you get the motivation of starting

415
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: the season with the Bucks and now they get to

416
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: start the playoffs with the Bucks. I think there's just

417
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: a lot of factors that go in that help. From

418
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: a confident standpoint as well. Oh yeah, that confidence is

419
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 1: going to be more than important because you were just

420
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: talking about Adah and I'm giggling as I'm reading my

421
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: notes because I swear sometimes we have the same exact things.

422
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette Week one against the Cowboys, that was his

423
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 1: best game, his only one hundred yard rushing game of

424
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 1: the season. And you know, it's interesting when you see

425
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: kind of how this Cowboys defense has to operate. They

426
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: just have to go back to the basics. And you

427
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 1: just said that, Jade. It sounds easy, right, but you

428
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: have to collapse that pocket, get in Tom Brady's face

429
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: because you've seen time and time again when he has

430
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: that pressure on him, that's when he is, you know,

431
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: kind of on Tom Brady like that, you can get

432
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: very frustrated. You've seen it more this season than I

433
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: think you've ever seen in his career, and that's what

434
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: people need to play on. That's what the Cowboys need

435
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: to play on, is get him frustrated and get in

436
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: his face early. And what I really like to credit

437
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence for is he puts his hands up and

438
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: bats the ball down, and putting your hand in his

439
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: face is going to be so important because the more

440
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: you can do to mentally distract him and physically get

441
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,959
Speaker 1: in there, that is your key to starting early. Score First,

442
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: get in Tom Brady's face and again, yes, rush the edges,

443
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: but also you have to collapse the pocket at all

444
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: points and you got to key in on that center position.

445
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: You have to key in on that because right now,

446
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: either way, yeah, I mean, I'm not saying Ryan Jensen's

447
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: not a great player. He is. I will absolutely give

448
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: him that credit. But when he's coming off fresh and

449
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 1: we've seen how Mike McCarthy handles a ramp up phase,

450
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: there's a reason for that because expecting a player to

451
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: come in and play all of these snaps all at once,

452
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: I'm not going to see the same player that you

453
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: saw pre injury. So again, play on the weaknesses and

454
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: the defense that d line needs to do their job.

455
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: Get in the trenches, be physical, be quick because Tom

456
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: Brady is going to try to expose that cornerback to

457
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: situation very quickly. That's where I was going with this.

458
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: I feel for Dan Quinn because I feel like he's throwing.

459
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 1: There was a I had to laugh. It was a

460
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 1: meme on the internet and it was a brick wall

461
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: and it was just throwing you know what at the

462
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: wall to see if anything would stick. And that's what's

463
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: felt like the cornerback position. I mean, so many people

464
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: trashed Anthony Brown, and so many people trashed Jordan Lewis.

465
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 1: I gotta put my hand up. There were times that

466
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: I was critical of their play. I think what was

467
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 1: key is they were so good about the eye discipline. Right,

468
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: we've talked about in a couple of weeks. I think

469
00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:59,959
Speaker 1: that's still what some of these young guys are struggling with.

470
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: I caught up with in Sean Wright. He says he

471
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: feels like he's playing better, and he is. But I

472
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 1: think the addition of Xavier Roads, which I gotta get right.

473
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: I keep saying Xavier Woods, who was here in twenty

474
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: seven days, but Xavier Roads, you know, Jerry Jones alluded

475
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: to it, don't want to fight through the fan that

476
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 1: we were going to see more of them. He got

477
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: sort of acclimated over the weekend. They didn't have a

478
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: real practice today, so they'll see more tomorrow. But now

479
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: Sean said, not dissimilar from seeing t Y Hilton in

480
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: the wide receiver's room and Jason Peters on the offensive line,

481
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 1: Anthony Barr. You know with even some of the linebackers.

482
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 1: Having a guy like Xavier Woods, who remember it was

483
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: like all roads closed when he played for the Vikings.

484
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 1: He just talked about his handle of the defense, his

485
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 1: ability to talk to them. I think it helps, and

486
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: I think that's it's a young team, and I think

487
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: that's that's been great for them because I've covered teams

488
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: where it was one of the oldest locker rooms in

489
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: the league. But I think in some rooms they've been

490
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 1: missing sort of that veteran presence, and so I love

491
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 1: that they've been able to get some of these guys

492
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: off the street to come in and help fortify that area.

493
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: So I think you're gonna see Xavier Woods play a lot,

494
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 1: especially because he's got postseason experience. JK told me today

495
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: that he was teammates with Rhodes up in Minnesota, and

496
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: I said, what do you know about him? Like, how

497
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: good is he going to do? Because we saw a

498
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: Trey von Mullins audition and maybe we want to look

499
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: at some other auditions. And that's my favorite thing about

500
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 1: Jayron is like I can call to him like keep

501
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: it straight, and he's in keeping straight with me. And

502
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: I said, you know, obviously like he's new, he's still learning,

503
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: but like, how do you feel about him coming in?

504
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: He said, that's my boy, Like I have no doubt

505
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: that he's going to come in and make an immediate impact.

506
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: And so again it just goes back to that confidence

507
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: standpoint that you have. I think when you have a

508
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 1: young team, it's tricky because this is the first time

509
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 1: that a lot of these guys are doing these things.

510
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: You know, this will be the first time some of

511
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: these young guys have played in the postseason. This is

512
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: the first time that they played, really played against a

513
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, against a Bucks team that's been successful in

514
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: the playoffs since twenty twenty when Tom Brady joined the team.

515
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: And so you may not see, you know, all of

516
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: the snaps go to roads in this game, but you

517
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: at least can feel confident knowing that you're getting a

518
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: guy in here who's been there before who can come

519
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: in and provide some relief when nishan Right maybe is

520
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: it has missed or kind of like we talked about yesterday,

521
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: there's that confidence level of you know, like if he's

522
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: not gonna settle in correctly or whatever it is. Now

523
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: you have Xavier Rhoads, a guy that not only the

524
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: coaching staff feels comfortable about, but the guys on the

525
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 1: field also feel good having him come into And what

526
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: I like about having that veteran presence is the ability

527
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: to diagnose things quickly, because I think that's been a

528
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: very big issue for the defense as a whole, and

529
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 1: that showed when Layton was gone specifically with that safety position. WHOA,

530
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 1: that was rough. But I think having Xavier helps diagnose

531
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: things quicker and again gives those younger guys like nation

532
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: Right the ability to work with somebody who can help

533
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: them accelerate that skill set a little bit more too,

534
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: because that's so important as being able to read things

535
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,719
Speaker 1: quickly and diagnose it and act on it, and you know,

536
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: not take that side step puts you off for one

537
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 1: second and then the play's gone, so I think that

538
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: will help a lot too. Well, we're going to take

539
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: our second and final break here, but when we come back, ladies,

540
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: I want to ask you this, what concerns you more?

541
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: As we start talking about the coaching carousel, it was

542
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: obviously black Monday and a lot of positions to fill

543
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: this offseason in the NFL, both dan Quinn Kellen Moore

544
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: getting opportunities go interview for head coaching jobs. Who concerns

545
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: you more the loss of Dan Quinn or Kellen Moore.

546
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:30,919
Speaker 1: Fans will ask you to think about it, and perhaps

547
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: way in here we'll have that and more on Girls Talk,

Speaker 1: the field. What I'm talking about is trash, and it's

579
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: But first, just steps away from the Dallas Cowboys World

Speaker 1: headquarters in Frisco, visit the Star District your destination for

Speaker 1: at the Star. All right ahead of the break, I

584
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: pose the question to you, ladies, what concerns you more

585
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 1: as we start talking about coaches getting opportunities to go

586
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: and interview for head coaching positions, which I believe is January.

587
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: When's it right after the playoffs is when they can

588
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: start having these conversations. So when you look at Dan Quinn,

589
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore, dan Quinn, obviously we're to have interests. I

590
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: think once again with the Broncos, I think maybe they

591
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: should have probably hired him last time instead of Nathaniel Hackett,

592
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: although I think a lot of people thought maybe Hackett

593
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: could get Rogers there. You've also got Kellen Moore, that's

594
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: that's been asked to go talk in Carolina who concerns

595
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: you the most next season? This is just a hypothetical.

596
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 1: What concerns you the most the loss of Dan Quinn

597
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 1: or the loss of Kellen Moore. He wants to go first.

598
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,400
Speaker 1: I think Dan, and I think Dan not just from

599
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: what he does on the field when it comes to

600
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: I mean we joked about it earlier with like just

601
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: throwing everything including the kitchen seek to get at the

602
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: job done. But when you think about how coaches can

603
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: impact players, I think if you were to go into

604
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: that locker room and you were to pull the defense

605
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: and you were to ask them that question, they would

606
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: tell you how much Dan means to them. I've been

607
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: talking about JK all day because I spent a good

608
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: chunk of my time talking to him, But that's one

609
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: of the big players available by Yeah, that's one thing

610
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: that he said today. They you know, he was asked

611
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: that like if you if Dan were to leave, what

612
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: would that mean to you? And he literally said, when

613
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: I'm done playing, when this is all said and done,

614
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: dan Quinn is going to be a guy who I remember,

615
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: who I can attest my career too. And to me,

616
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: that speaks louder than anything Dan has done on the

617
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: field because you know, and they say it all the time,

618
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: like coaches don't do this for the money, they don't

619
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: do this for you know, the impact on the field.

620
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: It's building leaders off the field. I think that's one

621
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: of the Cowboys six that Mike McCarthy always talks about.

622
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: And I just think that the reason why this defense

623
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: has been so successful, why it's been so resilient this year,

624
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: is because of the impact and the leadership that he provides.

625
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: Not to say that Kellen doesn't provide that same leadership,

626
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: but unfortunately, I think Kellen has a tendency to be

627
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: very coaches speak, very to the point, very just this guy.

628
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: I don't know how well he is connecting with his

629
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: players in the way that Dan quinn connects with his players.

630
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: And I think that's why people are so interested in

631
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: him being a head coach, because he can provide. Even

632
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: when he was with the Falcons, he was providing that

633
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: as well. That's a good point. Yeah, I think when

634
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: people think of Kellen Moore, for instance, a Carolina team,

635
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: I think they're hoping they can find a Kevin O'Connell

636
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: or a Sean McVay or one of those guys. But

637
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: I'm with you when I when I listened to the

638
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: guys talk about Kellen Moore, it's with a lot of respect.

639
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: There's a lot of love for him, and but that

640
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: love stems from him being a guy that was in

641
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: the room with them. Yeah, right, Like, don't forget that

642
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: Dak's first year, these two were in the quarterbacks room

643
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: together and so and so Zeke speaks of him highly

644
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: in that way too. But what stood out to me

645
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: was last year in OTAs, right when dan Quinn had

646
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: gotten here, unprompted, the way these players would talk about

647
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: dan Quinn. And obviously it was like night and day

648
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: from Mike Nolan to DQ. But even today I'd caught

649
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: up with to your point, Stefon Diggs, Stefon Diggs, Trayvon Diggs, Man,

650
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 1: I'm having a day Treyvon Diggs and jay Ron Curse

651
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: And what jay Ron Curse said, pennyback, piggybacking off what

652
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: you said. He said, he's brought a brotherhood to this

653
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: locker room. And I said, is he a hugger? Is

654
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: he a texture? He said, He's both. And so that's

655
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: the sort of stuff I think that really resonates with

656
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: a lot of guys. But more importantly as is the

657
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: way he believes in me. People can say they believe

658
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: in you, but he goes but then he shows that

659
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: to me, And I think that's huge, right because when

660
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: I think of and I'll talk to both of you ladies,

661
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: I didn't play sports in high school. I mean I

662
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: played on the B team in golf. But I don't

663
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: know if my computer let teacher qualifies as a motivating coach.

664
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: But when you look at your coaches over the years, Haley,

665
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: what was the coach that stood out to you and why?

666
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: I think the coach that stood out to me most.

667
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,959
Speaker 1: Let me think I would probably have to say one

668
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: of my assistant coaches at North Texas, Daniel Dobson, only

669
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,719
Speaker 1: because I was a grad transfer there. I feel like

670
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: when you're a grad transfer, it's different because you're so

671
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: much older and you know, you're just kind of there

672
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: because you have eligibility left, usually especially in a sport

673
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: like soccer. But Daniel really made me feel like a

674
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: part of the team, like instantly, you know what I mean.

675
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: I think he believed in me. Because UNT, for those

676
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: of you who don't know, like the soccer program at

677
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: UNT is the best program at the school. And that's

678
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: not even me saying that because I played on it.

679
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: John Headlin has been there for thirty years and has

680
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: yet to have a losing season. I think he's up

681
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: to like nineteen or twenty conference championships in three different conferences.

682
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: So it's a competitive program. And you know, like you

683
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: don't just get playing time just because you're older. So

684
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: from the very beginning, like he was very adamant about,

685
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: you know, letting me know, like keep working like you're new,

686
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: like just keep getting your minutes, and then eventually worked

687
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: my way into the lineup and even still he was

688
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: very helpful in that regard. But I think that's why

689
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: I have that attachment to dan Quinn and that relationship

690
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: because it does make a difference. You know, it does

691
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: matter because you know, you're sure you're coaching football players,

692
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: but they're people too, And we always say that on

693
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: this like people and when you can tap into that

694
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: people mentality, it makes such a difference. And that's the

695
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: way you latch on because now you know, if I

696
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: have a relationship with you, now I have an interest

697
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: in you helping me because I can understand that you

698
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: care about what I want to do it and how

699
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: I want to grow and what I want to be,

700
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: and I can recognize that you want to help me

701
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: get there. Yeah, I think when I look in that

702
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: aspect too, I had a high school dance coach, Nicole Gomez,

703
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: and interestingly enough, her husband is a he works for

704
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:25,719
Speaker 1: the RAMS in some way, he's one of the one

705
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: of the RAMS coaches. But you know, talking about the

706
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: people aspect of it, it's also it has nothing to

707
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: do with the sport at some point, it's there are

708
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: the times I remember with Nicole or times I was

709
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: crying and having a bad day and she knew without

710
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: even me having to say a word. It was you

711
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: know me on that level because you care to know

712
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: me on that level, and that pushed me on days

713
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: I didn't want to be at practice, or days I

714
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: didn't want to go and push myself to the to

715
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: the fullest, be like, Okay, well I have to do

716
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: it for Nicole at least if there was nothing else

717
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: to fall back on, it was I need to do

718
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: it for that person. And so I think when you

719
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: look at the relationship that dan Quinn has compared to

720
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore, with these guys, it's more of a family

721
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:08,439
Speaker 1: aspect and instead of the the you're my friend kind

722
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: of situation, it's more of a I see dan Quinn

723
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: as an uncle more than you know Kellen Moore, who's

724
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: who's like a brother, which is a weird comparison. Not

725
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: about analogy, but it's it's you have a different respect

726
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: in that matter. So when I think of, you know,

727
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: my uncle, I'll talk to him very differently than I

728
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: talked to my brother. And it's I feel like that

729
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: is kind of the comparison you have with them. And

730
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: I think for dan Quinn, not only you know last

731
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: year you saw the success he had with the defense

732
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:37,720
Speaker 1: and at the end of the season, it was, oh,

733
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: can he mirror that? Can he can he do that again? Yeah?

734
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: And he did even better this season. There was better

735
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,439
Speaker 1: numbers than there was you know, his his first year.

736
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 1: And I think something too that's very imperative to remember

737
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: as far as the defense is, they're very young. This

738
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 1: is a young defense that's very impressionable. So having dan

739
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 1: Quinn here for the long haul and you know, moving

740
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: forward as you get that dan Quinn stan mp on it.

741
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore's offense and the offense right now, it's an

742
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: older offense, you don't. You have a couple of young guys.

743
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: But for the most part, those guys are set in

744
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: what they're setting. They're gonna play like they play already.

745
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: That defense is very multible and very shiftable right now.

746
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: So that's what kind of worries me about losing dan Quinn.

747
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: That's a good point. Um. Another thing about dan Quinn,

748
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: I remember when I first hired him, I was on it.

749
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: I was immediately like yes, because I understood like what

750
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: he when he immediate when he got hired, what he

751
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 1: was capable of. But I also noticed that there's connection

752
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: through these locker rooms, Like through the locker room like

753
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: George Edwards he brought in I'm sure he had a

754
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: part in bringing in Jay round Curse and and even

755
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: even some of the guys that were drafted here, there's

756
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: ties to all the Viking guys think about it and

757
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: uh Savior Roads. Yeah. But even like even with some

758
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 1: of the conversations with the draft, there's some guys that

759
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 1: were like, yeah, I met him in high school, like

760
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,760
Speaker 1: on this roster right now, that knew him even before

761
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 1: this time here. So when guys get and you're come

762
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: play for you and really are like, I want to

763
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 1: come play in that program. We also too, We've seen

764
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,760
Speaker 1: him kind of in some ways revamped some guys M careers,

765
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 1: you know, like said we robbed on Anthony Brown all

766
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: that time. But I mean I felt like his play

767
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: improved just because of the level of coaching and the

768
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: staff that they brought in, you know, behind him. But

769
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,240
Speaker 1: in regard to the question, I had a drill sergeant,

770
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 1: my first drill sergeant UM. Her name was Jie Sarran Paulin.

771
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: She's from Miami. She was no joke. And one thing

772
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 1: that I see in Dan dan Quinn that I saw

773
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: in her was that she was not afraid to get

774
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: out there and do it with you, and sometimes she

775
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: would do it better than you. And I was a

776
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: really big into pt physically fitting stuff, but she was fit.

777
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: She was a purple heart, and she would outrun us.

778
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 1: She would outdo everything with us. And when I would

779
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,720
Speaker 1: see her doing that, I wanted to compete. I wanted

780
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 1: to compete. And that's something that this locker room is

781
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: thrived off of. When c DQ doing Bull in the

782
00:36:55,600 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: Ring and his NiPd the putting on helmet just to

783
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: show people, show the players how you're going to be

784
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:07,800
Speaker 1: getting chipped. Those are the when you're superior or whoever

785
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: is okay with getting dirty with you and getting out

786
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: there and showing you how it was done. You automatically

787
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 1: gain a different respect for them. And that's something she

788
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: did with me and it made me, I felt, I know,

789
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 1: it made me a better soldier because I wanted to

790
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 1: be better than even what she was, and she expected that.

791
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: He tried to make Mike McCarthy better in the off season, right,

792
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: Like he said, he had put on some weight because

793
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: of the stress that comes with the job. He had

794
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: him in the boxing, you know, boxing in the off season.

795
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,359
Speaker 1: I'm with you, ladies, and where I find myself. And

796
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: this is not to discredit what Kellen Moore has done

797
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: here as an OC, because I mean, one of the

798
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: top scoring offenses in the league the last two years, right,

799
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 1: But I find myself wondering when I look at Dan Quinnon,

800
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: and again no disrespect to Georgia Edwards or Joe Witt,

801
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: who could be guys. I don't see them going outside,

802
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: But I do wonder if Dan would take any of

803
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 1: his guys with him going somewhere else. But if if

804
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: George was here or if it was Joe Wit and

805
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 1: I would submit. I don't know Joe as well as

806
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: I know the reputation of George Edwards. It was Harrison

807
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: Smith who when I asked me a pro bowl a

808
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: couple years ago when dan Quinn was coming, George Edwards

809
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: is coming here, He's like, oh my gosh, they're getting

810
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: a great like. The adoration for George Edwards was off

811
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 1: the chart. And even when Mike Nolan was struggling with

812
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 1: that locker room Mike McCarthy's first year, it was rumored

813
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 1: that George was going to get promoted because the guys

814
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: really sort of looked to him. But I find myself

815
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: wondering if these guys are going to be as motivated

816
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: with a George Edwards or a Joe as we've seen

817
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 1: with a Dan Quinn. And so when I start looking

818
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 1: at that, and then I think to myself, Okay, well,

819
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: who would they bring in for OC. I mean, there's

820
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: guys that you can bring in from OC. And by

821
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 1: the way, Mike McCarthy can also call place. I mean

822
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 1: he didn't in Green Bay. He said he didn't do

823
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: it here because he found that it was better over

824
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: the years to delegate right. So I don't know what

825
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: that dynamic would look like, but I do know that

826
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 1: Jerry at least is worried enough about it that we

827
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: all know. While that no one got a hold of

828
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: the contract, there was something done for dan Quinn to

829
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: make him stay here in Dallas so that he wouldn't

830
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: go to the Broncos last season. Yeah, he has a

831
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: I mean you saw was in put on the draft.

832
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: You saw like what he's what he's capable. I feel

833
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: like these last couple of drafts especially have been you know, successful,

834
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: and he just has a plan like that. That That

835
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 1: was what was really dope about him too, is like

836
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: when he first got hired. I remember him coming in.

837
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 1: I could be mistaken, but ota rookie Minicamp one hundred attendants.

838
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, it was you could see just

839
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: that we typically see that's track around here in Dallas.

840
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: But I think more importantly it's the guys he's gotten

841
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 1: off the street to come and play for Dallas. I mean,

842
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,919
Speaker 1: think how important guys like Mali Cooker, Jay Ron Curse

843
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: had been. I mean even Tach McKinley. A lot of

844
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: these guys came here because of dan Quinn. Yeah. Yeah.

845
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: And also, I mean, you have to have a certain

846
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: presence to you. And there's just some people in this

847
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: world that they walk in a room and they have

848
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: a presence and you feel it and you can see it.

849
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: And Quinn doesn't demand presence. He's not the kind of

850
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,839
Speaker 1: guy that's look at me, do what I say. He

851
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: walks in and hey, guys, how are you doing? Before

852
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:09,919
Speaker 1: any press conference, that's the first thing he asks, even

853
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: just reporters, how are you doing? How are you feeling?

854
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: And it's just this automatic respect you get from even

855
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: talking to him one time. I mean, I always go

856
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: back to this late in Vanderesh interview that I saw

857
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 1: during training camp where he was talking about somebody asked him,

858
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:26,839
Speaker 1: you know, how did you know Dan was the guy?

859
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: He said, I talked to him for fifteen minutes and

860
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: I knew. And sometimes people just have that presence to them,

861
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: and Dan Quinn is one of those guys that just

862
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: has that factor. All right, So final question, and we've

863
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,320
Speaker 1: got three minutes to cover this be where we wrapped

864
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: this one up. When we look at this game ahead

865
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: on Monday, what area is most concerning to you when

866
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: it comes to beating Tampa and advancing. Why did you

867
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,879
Speaker 1: look at me? I don't know. It stressed me out

868
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah, we talked a little bit about

869
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: this yesterday. I don't know if it's so much of

870
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 1: a concern to earn for me, it's a question mark.

871
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,879
Speaker 1: I asked Mike McCarthy this today, where Michael Gallup has

872
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 1: been and so I'm very interested to see just how

873
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 1: the wide receiver room kind of figures itself out a

874
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 1: little bit. I mean, I think CD we've talked about

875
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 1: how he's been finding his groove. I think that's great.

876
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 1: I think t Y Hilton coming in has been beneficial.

877
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: But Michael Gallup's targets over the week, in relation to

878
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: his receptions and what he's been able to accomplish on

879
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,320
Speaker 1: the field, it's just been like piss poor to be blank.

880
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: And so I'm interested to see, you know, how they

881
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: work him in. Mike told us today, Yeah, he's a

882
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 1: super important part of our lineup. He's a super important

883
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 1: part of our offense, and so I'm curious to see

884
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 1: how they address that and if it really is important.

885
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: I was saying this on Media Mash. If you don't

886
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 1: follow Brian Baldinger, who works at my network Baldy's breakdowns

887
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: he did. We've been talking about Deck's interceptions this season,

888
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 1: right and you know, chemistry with his receivers. But there

889
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: was some concerning stuff on tape against Washington. Now they've

890
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: got a really dynamic front seven, great defense. We talked

891
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: about that heading into the game, but Michael Gallup's ability

892
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: to get open was concerning at times. And also Dak's

893
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: seeing guys that are open and moving away from them

894
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 1: and either taking a sack or throwing the ball away

895
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: was concerning. So that's interesting. I'm still for me, it's

896
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:20,280
Speaker 1: the cornerback position. Yeah, I just I think Tom Brady

897
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: is going to exploit that all day long, and so

898
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: I think that's an area that I think is very,

899
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: very concerning. And if I might add, special teams, you

900
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: don't want to start the game off with one of

901
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,800
Speaker 1: those muff punts like you did, because what I felt

902
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: like was the Cowboys it's sort of you you knock

903
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,399
Speaker 1: them in the mouth early, they were struggling to get

904
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 1: past him. Of the adversity of that on the road,

905
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 1: at least we've seen them come back from it at home,

906
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 1: but on the road on grass, that's gonna be tough.

907
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: It was also twice in a row. Yeah, yeah, it

908
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 1: was also I mean like there's there's coming back from

909
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 1: stuff and then it's like come on, you know, like

910
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: that's that's something different. But I guess makin's I'm not

911
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,919
Speaker 1: even seconcern I stressed me out. What I'm looking for

912
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,760
Speaker 1: in this game is the offensive line play just because

913
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 1: it's just it's just pivotal to what you do. Is

914
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 1: you want to be able to run the ball well,

915
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: and um, I think that's just gonna make the difference

916
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,399
Speaker 1: in this game, as it does all the time when

917
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 1: your quarterback is forced to pass the ball whole bunch

918
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 1: because you can't do anything on first and second down. Yeah,

919
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:25,879
Speaker 1: for me, it's it's I think, again not the most concerning,

920
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: but something I want to see be more productive during

921
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: this game. Is a better way to put it, is

922
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: what they do on first and second down, and you

923
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 1: segment that's so good for me, Um, I swear we

924
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 1: we talk way too much outside of this. That's we're

925
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: on the same length, um, but first and second down plays,

926
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to see any more short runs by Zeke.

927
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 1: I'm just it's the predictability factor. I need the play

928
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: calling for this game to be less predictable and go

929
00:43:55,520 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: back to what works, because again, first down those yeah

930
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 1: a second, and you know that's what happens every single

931
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 1: well and I have talked to people about that. You know,

932
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: the thing, in order for the running backs to have

933
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 1: an efficient game, you want to get them going early.

934
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: So that's why you sort of feed them early and

935
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 1: get them into a rhythm. The problem is when that

936
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: offensive line start creating some of those holes for you

937
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: and you're sort of running up against a wall, that's

938
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:21,399
Speaker 1: when they move away from it. And then that's where

939
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: you're also getting back into some trouble where he's throwing

940
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: some of those picks. So everything is it's like the

941
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 1: hip bone's connected to the niebo and all of those things.

942
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: So I mean, you're not wrong on that. It's gonna

943
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,280
Speaker 1: be I'll be interested to see the game that Kellen calls,

944
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna be really interested to see how Dan

945
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 1: calls the defensive side of the ball against Tom Brady.

946
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 1: I will be headed to Tampa on Saturday for a

947
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 1: four day run. Very disappointed that the weather is ridiculous.

948
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 1: Iquanas are going to be falling from the trees this

949
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: weekend Saturday Saturday, a high of fifty four a low

950
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,360
Speaker 1: of thirty six. Game time is gonna it's gonna be

951
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: great football weather on Monday seventy three of a high,

952
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,919
Speaker 1: low of fifty but on Sunday game Day morning high

953
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 1: of sixty three, low forty three. If you see me

954
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 1: wearing a winner jacket and a brown see me wearing

955
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: a puffer jacket on Sunday, mind your business. It's cold

956
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: in Tampa. Let's hope that this is a cold game

957
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 1: for Dak Prescott, that he shuts down the Tampa Bay Bucks.

958
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: So I guess what I want to say there is

959
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 1: it's a hot game for him, but yes, but but

960
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: a cold, cold win for him. Hopefully we're talking about

961
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: that on Monday. But you guys still have another show tomorrow.
