9
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: it's kind of a mark. I don't know of another

10
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: m word. Maddening munday, bady, do what we can't say here?

11
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: That's about to say. We can only say certain things

12
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: on the airways. We classify the today as Murky's murky

13
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: because there's so many questions. Can't see what's ahead of you. Yeah,

14
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: you gotta look through something kind of slush and work

15
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,559
Speaker 1: through it. No, uh yeah, okay, that's fair. That's probably

16
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: better than marvelous. All right, let me start over here.

17
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: We going three two one. It is a murky Monday

Speaker 1: you got a game? Huhep. You do have a game today? Um,

25
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: and I hope the Cowboys use would uh what they

26
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: what happened on yesterday? Combine it with would almost happened

27
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: to my dogs against against Ohio State. Do not play

28
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: with your freaking food. My my dogs life flash before

29
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: the very eyes they heard all all season and this

30
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: is why. And you guys know from offline conversations, UM,

31
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: so many people will no see. You know, your dog's

32
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: gonna run through everybody. Nobody's gonna beat your dogs. What

33
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: was my reply to all of that? I said, stop

34
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: stop saying that. Stop saying it, because you say that

35
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: Georgia had a warning shot. They smelled the game, They

36
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: smelled themselves, They started smelling themselves and it almost ended.

37
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: Oh well, let's let's kind of transition that to the NFL.

38
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: Then let's transition transition to that into the regular season finale,

39
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders take down the Dallas Cowboys twenty six

40
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: to six. Cowboys took down the Dallas Cowboys, and Dallas lost.

41
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: They lost that game. They were bad, lot, they were bad.

42
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: Washington did what they needed to do. Twenty six to

43
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: six was the final saint, the one to say it though.

44
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: I'm saying, but if we're always gonna say no, we're

45
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: not always gonna say, we're gonna say when you say

46
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: the team just beat when it applies. Okay, So so

47
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: you're telling me that the Commanders were good enough yesterday.

48
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: They their coverage was incredible. Yesterday they did. Their coverage

49
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: was all over the place. You had zero separation, you

50
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: had a ton of pressure. I'm not saying they weren't.

51
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: They didn't have their good moments. What I'm saying is

52
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: if the Cowboys play even remotely service, they did it.

53
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 1: Your question to me, Isaiah, was when are we going

54
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: to say that a team actually defeated the Cowboys? Okay,

55
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: yesterday was not that day. Of the five losses, which

56
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: game did Dallas get beat Philadelphia? Okay? With a backup

57
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: quarterback back of Philadelphia, they took the ball away Tampa Yeah,

58
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: Tampa Verse Week one in Week eighteen are doppelgangers. It

59
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: was the worst performances of the year Week one in

60
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: Week eighteen. No coincidence to Cowboys lost those particular games.

61
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: So if you look at yesterday, for example, you start

62
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: the game um solid return by Kavante Turpin, callback because

63
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: of the penalty on Tyler Coil, and let's keep it

64
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: to special teams. Brian Anger fumbles to snapper, Covers gets

65
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: tap code, Washington gets the ball in the red zone.

66
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: Keep it the special teams. Kavante Turpin must the second

67
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: point of the season, loses it, Washington recovers the ball

68
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: in the red zone, and that's just special teams. Yeah.

69
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: Then you go over and you look at the offense.

70
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: You talk about the drops picked by Kendall Fuller. Okay,

71
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: well let's try him again. Bad idea, mister Prescott pick

72
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: six on the very next throw, and that is one

73
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: hundred percent accountable to Deck and he knows it has

74
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: to own it, and he does on it. But the

75
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: list goes on and Norm couldn't get the run game established.

76
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: We talked about it in the preview. We said that

77
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: this defensive front is one of the best in the

78
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: league as far as the Commanders goes, and you were

79
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: going to have problems establishing the run. So then when

80
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: you if you did have that problem again this week,

81
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: where are you going to be able to pass the ball?

82
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: Cowboys couldn't pass the ball, couldn't run the ball, couldn't

83
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: pass the ball. When you pass the ball, you made mistakes.

84
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: Special teams were making mistakes. The defense was the only

85
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: ones that showed up to play, with the exception of

86
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: the unbelievable struggles of Trayvon Mother. And we wanted to see.

87
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: We wanted to see what that that backup cornerback position

88
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: looked like opposite Bland and Digs, and we know what

89
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: Nishan could do, but they showed his Trayvon Mother. They

90
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: gave Mother more snaps yesterday than they gave Nashan right

91
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: because they wanted to see if he was viable in

92
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Well, now we know that he is not

93
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: because from the penalties to you know, not getting his

94
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: head around and then there was a DP I missed

95
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: over the middle that would have been in the end zone,

96
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: would put the Commanders on the one yard line and

97
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: flag Mullin did not have a good game. So now

98
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: you know it's Nashan, right, and then we'll see who's

99
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: backing up right between Alexander and some of these other guys.

100
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: Xavier Roads is in the building, Big XS in the building,

101
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: former pro bowler, from former two time All Pro. He

102
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: gets it done, We'll see if he can get it

103
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: done for the Cowboys. But all I'm saying is all

104
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: of that is to be said, or is for this

105
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: to be said. That game yesterday was absolute trash, absolute trash.

106
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: I'm proud of you, absolute trash. I'm proud of you. Know.

107
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: I know I'm proud of you because normally you wouldn't

108
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 1: say that. You would give a reason normally as to

109
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: why they, Yeah, gave several because the Cowboys. What I

110
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: said before Mike's went hot, and I didn't, I'll change

111
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: the word. The Cowboys pissed in their own bed and

112
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: then rolled around in it for four quarters. That's basically

113
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: what they did in Washington, and it needs to serve

114
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: as a reminder of what's coming up. There's no more mulligans.

115
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: There's no more if we don't get this right, Okay,

116
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: we'll bounce back next week. No, you're watching the Tampa

117
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: and you play even remotely as poorly as you played

118
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: in Washington and you're fishing can't happen. What do you

119
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: think as there? I think they showed what we expect

120
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: of them at this point in time of the year.

121
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: I mean, unfortunately, they are a team that you just

122
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: don't know what you're gonna get from week to week.

123
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: And it sucks because when they're good, they're really freaking good.

124
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 1: But when they play teams that they're supposed to beat

125
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: up on, they don't. And it's very indicative of a

126
00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: I would classify it as a mentally immature team in

127
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: the sense that they're not approaching every game the same

128
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: and they're not performing at the same level or above

129
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: that level every week. And I know if fans are

130
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: probably tired of it, I just look at it as

131
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: inconsistent ball, and they're going to have to have a

132
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: complete one eighty. This is not the first bad game.

133
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: I sat here last week, the week before, even though

134
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: they were getting victories and some of those games, and

135
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: I'm still saying that they're not playing good football, and

136
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: people were like, oh, you're just hating. Okay, cool, they're

137
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: not playing good football. You call it what you want

138
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: to call it. You can win the ball game and

139
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: have an ugly win. It's still a win, but it's

140
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: an ugly win because you're the level of ball you're

141
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: supposed to be competing at, and when you don't play

142
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: to that level, you just fall into some victories just

143
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: because you're more talented than teams. But when there's days

144
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: like this, this is very indicative of what this team

145
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: has been doing, putting on the film for the last

146
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: six weeks, and it's very unfortunate, and you hope, but

147
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: it is an h word. It's a hope that they

148
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: can turn it around. There's nothing that shows any level

149
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: of consistency in any three fastest of this team right now.

150
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: And it used to be your defense. That's not the

151
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: case anymore. We knew this as a defensively led team.

152
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: Offense has not shown you much confidence at all in

153
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,239
Speaker 1: terms of what they're capable of doing on a consistent

154
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: week to week basis, and then now it's rolled over

155
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: into special teams. So at what point what are you

156
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: leaning on to give you confidence to say, this element

157
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: of our game, we know it's going to be president

158
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: every single week. We can rely on this to be

159
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: president every week because that's that's where we're that's where

160
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: we're laying our head on. Yeah, there's nothing. There's nothing.

161
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: So everything now turns into hope. You hope that your

162
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: team shows up in plays. No, you're exactly right, because

163
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: let's run it down. Let's go all the way top

164
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: to bottom. This was a team loss, much like the

165
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys have had team wins throughout the season. Let's run

166
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: it down. Who did their job right yesterday? Quarterback? No,

167
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: not at all. Fourteen to thirty seven. Sorry, guys, if

168
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: you're if you're a Dak fan, I'm a Dack fan.

169
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: If you watch the game, then you know the answer

170
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: is no. It's no. If. Even if you're a Dak

171
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: fan and you defend Dak, you're doing him a disservice

172
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: by saying he's doing his job lately. He's not. Fifteen

173
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: interceptions in twelve games is not acceptable. And then you

174
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: come out and you throw fourteen completions in thirty seven

175
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: tries not going to get the job done, especially not

176
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: against the Washington Commander. It's just wait until you face

177
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers, the forty nine ers, the Philadelphia Eagles. If

178
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: you get a chance to get past Tampa Bay, in

179
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: Round one. Running backs, did they do their job yesterday? No? No,

180
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: they did not. Ten yards for Zeke, nineteen yards for

181
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard. Congratulations to hit a thousand yards, but there's

182
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: still a long way to go. Tight ends no, not

183
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 1: at all. Offensive line, no, not even a little bit.

184
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: Jason Peters really struggled yesterday at left tackle. Connor McGovern

185
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 1: had his lapses. I thought Zack Martin even struggled a

186
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: little bit. The guy who you can rely on more

187
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: than anybody, he even struggled and let up a couple

188
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:04,839
Speaker 1: of plays yesterday, A couple of pressures. Defensive line maybe

189
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: as close as you can get. Yes, I'd only I

190
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 1: think I would say a solid neutral. I would give

191
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: it a neutral. I wouldn't even say yes. I didn't

192
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 1: look at that defensive line yesterday and say, wow, Sam,

193
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: how is under pressure consistently fair? The Yeah, they didn't

194
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: go obviously they didn't go mall Sam Howe, But which

195
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: they should have? Did they get back to the old ways?

196
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: I think they'd hack now, Okay, I don't think that

197
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: they looked at How's tar heel tape and they somehow

198
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: forgot that he has legs, he can run, He can run.

199
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: He took off and burned him a couple of times.

200
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: But I mean they were certainly positive to take away

201
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: from the defensive line. Chauncey Ghost and for example, he

202
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 1: stood out Ohsa Diggi Zul. He had some plays um

203
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: but as far as not defensive even Osa sack that

204
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: was Sam how blowing the play call. So I mean

205
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: defensive line, they were above average. We'll say we'll give it,

206
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: We'll give it a halfwayfty yards giving up on the ground. Yeah, okay,

207
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: not good. Well, contextually speak, and when you're tasked as

208
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: a defense with going up against that time of position

209
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: because your offense goes four and eighteen on third down

210
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: plus one for one for three on fourth down. Yeah,

211
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: and unfortunately we talked, we talked about a guy like

212
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: Treylon Mullin, and not to beat up on a guy,

213
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: but the secondary as a whole. And you know, sure

214
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: the glaring light is on treyvon Mullin. But because Sam

215
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: Howe was able to extend plays being with defensive pass

216
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: interference and or big you know, catches to Terry mclurin.

217
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: Because they kept targeting Mullin. That stretched the field so

218
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: you can't drop down and try to, you know, add

219
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: that extra man in the box to stop the run.

220
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: So so yeah, there you go, let's keep going. Linebacker, No,

221
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: not at all. Damon Clark, Anthony Brown did not play well.

222
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: Anthony Bark, excuse me. And and Damon Clark did not

223
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: play well. Hanks hankins yit. They're gonna need him back

224
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: coming back. Corners no, no safeties. Hooker, yes, he had

225
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: the pick in the end Zoe took. He was out

226
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: of position on the He was out of position on

227
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: the huge completion to uh Dotson number one. Uh that No,

228
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: that one. That one was with Nashan and coverage. I

229
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: saw one. There was a deep one he was also

230
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: out of That was with mclauren. Mclauren's big completion was

231
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: with Mullen and coverage, and Hooker was was trying to

232
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: get there. It's time. So even then you have a lapse. Kicker, no,

233
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: no punter, non return kick returner. So every single piece

234
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: of this Cowboys roster has some sort of The blame

235
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: is absolute, every single piece. You cannot get past anybody

236
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: and say all right, man, hey, great job didn't work

237
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: out for you today. We'll see you next week. We'll

238
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: try and do better around you. Nobody zero, everybody in

239
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: that locker room has a chip on their shoulder right

240
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: now because they were all bad, all of them. And

241
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm the one that usually defends these guys.

242
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: You can't after that much like Week one against the

243
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, not so coincidentally, um, as we get

244
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: ready to face them here in the next few days,

245
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: it was, like you said, it was a total team loss.

246
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: All three phases just went to hell. Um. And and

247
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: that's how I mean, even Brett Mayer. You know, you

248
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: talk about Joey Slot missing his kids, right, but Mars

249
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: Mara he missed a point after and that that's really

250
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: when you know you're in the twilight zone where it's

251
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: just like, I don't know what's going on here, but

252
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: it's going on and this ain't pretty. So let's just

253
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: try to get out of here. Hold and then now

254
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and kind of a quick news and notes

255
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,239
Speaker 1: tip bit de Ron Blanchester injury. He will be evaluated

256
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: this morning. He was in good spirits on the flight back. UM.

257
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 1: Rumor floating around that right now is that that's just

258
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: the coaches. That was a coach. I'm totally fine, and

259
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: I mentioned that in the Updates dot Com yesterday that

260
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: it was most likely precautionary. But we'll get an update

261
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: from he came back in in the third quarter. Yeah,

262
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: but because he played a little bit so. But that

263
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: combined with the fact that he was in good spirits

264
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: on the plane. Not good in the aspect of smiling,

265
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: but good in the aspect of that. There wasn't any

266
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: sense of concern on his face for whatever the injury

267
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: might be. So it's not like he was being jovial

268
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: on the plane or anything. You know, he just had

269
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: a you know, not so downtrotten facial expression as if

270
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: Home Grammer season. So it wasn't that kind of vibe

271
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: coming off him. So that's that's good news. We'll get

272
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: more update on Darron Bland. But I can't get over

273
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: how and Nick even put it very well when we

274
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: walked into the locker room. He said, this, this has

275
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: been a full full circle regular season. You you ended

276
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: the regular season exactly how he started. Signs you know,

277
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: injury to Dak Prescott. But yeah, you went to bed

278
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: in week one, you went to bed in week eighteen,

279
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: and and now the Cowboys, who usually well I'm not

280
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: gonna say usually this season, some of the time has

281
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: responded very favorably to getting punched in the mouth. All

282
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: we can do is look at that and say, they

283
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: have demonstrated with resiliency. Let's see it again, because you

284
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: gotta have it now. I mean hope. Yeah, it's it's

285
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: it's hope based on evidence, because they've not suffered the

286
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: two game losing streets, so it's not phantom hope. It's actual,

287
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: evidential based hope. They lost to Tampa Bay, most people

288
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: said the season was over, Wrap it up, it's done.

289
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: We lost Dak Prescott. It's a rape. They beat the

290
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals with Cooper Rush and they went on a

291
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: you know, four game win street before dropping to the

292
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles. They lose the Green Bay. They've mall Minnesota.

293
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: See now that that is what I'm expecting to see

294
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: from the Cowboys. You got you didn't even necessarily get

295
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: punched in the mouth by Aaron Rodgers. But the fashion

296
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: in which you lost that game shouldn't have happened. Fourteen

297
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: point collapse, you bounce back, and you just destroy Minnesota. Vikings.

298
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: This question, go for it. What aspect of the of

299
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: the game of football. Do you know for sure will

300
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: show back up for the Cowboys next week? You want

301
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: to be honest, absolutely, I do. Well, I know the

302
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: defense is going to show up. Hell, they showed up

303
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: yesterday until they got gassed, and trayvon Mullin is not

304
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: going to be you know CB two. It's going back

305
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: to Nashan, right, So I think so showing up means

306
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: defense is going to show up and do what you

307
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: pay them to do. Get pressures, hopefully, get some sacks,

308
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: get some takeaways they leave the league and takeaways. So

309
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: I'm hanging my head on the defense under four hundred

310
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: yards that, like, I'm trying to understand, like what is

311
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: what would you doing their job? Showing up against Tom

312
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: Brady and all, well, give me, give me showing up

313
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: for me against Tom Brady and those weapons would be

314
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: three sacks on Brady, um an interception, uh, forced fumble, slash,

315
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: fumble recovery, all those. Yeah, that's not You're not asking

316
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: a lot from a defense that showing you it can

317
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: do it. And I didn't say, I'm just, of course

318
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: I would love six or sevens asked this three. I

319
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: asked this question because you just don't know. So that's

320
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: why utilize the term hope facts and nobody likes that

321
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: term because hope is not a real it's not over

322
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 1: real thing. I hope I hit the lotto. It's not

323
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: a strategy. That thing's over at Billy right now. I

324
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: hope I hit the relative because what's what's been your success?

325
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: I get it, I get it, but you just okay

326
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: with this team. To go with your point though, going

327
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: back to last year, come on, I'm not going back

328
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: to red I am because the red flags were there

329
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: all the way throughout. To go back to the history,

330
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: we got to go back to history. You were twelve

331
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: and five a year ago. We're talking about them right

332
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: now in the NIXT But those who don't learn from

333
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 1: history are doomed to repeat it. And I'm trying to

334
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: say that moving forward. Come on with twelve and five

335
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 1: last year, you had red flags all the way throughout.

336
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: Where do those red flags rare their ugly head against

337
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: San Francisco? It's correct, you have red flags all the

338
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: way throughout this game. This season in a twelve and

339
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: five record, great, congratulations, you won twelve regular season games.

340
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: You've got to limit the turnovers. You've got to find

341
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: a way to run the football against Yes, and you

342
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: gotta find a way to get back to your identity defensively.

343
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: All of those things haven't been working lately. So how

344
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: can you sit here and tell me that it's going

345
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: to all show up magically whenever you play one of

346
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: the better teams you've played all years? Or did I

347
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: you want to run that back? Did I say it

348
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: was all magically going to show up? You just told

349
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: me the defense is going to have what they help

350
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 1: you that I expect. He asked me, what do I expect?

351
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,479
Speaker 1: Which phase do I expect to show up? Of the

352
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: three phases, which do I most expect to show up?

353
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: And you said, and I said, the defense, That's what

354
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 1: I most expect to show up. Do you expect anything

355
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 1: else to show up? I expect Dak Prescott to bounce

356
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 1: back in the passing the tap. I expect that to happen.

357
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: I do expect the Cowboys to have a difficult time

358
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: establishing to run against the Detapa frontempt. I expect that

359
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: to happen. But I expect Dak Prescott to show me

360
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 1: that he can bounce back as he showed me in

361
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: the past. My point being, I'm not saying it's magically

362
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: going to show up anymore than I'm trying to apologize

363
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: for yesterday. Run the tape back. What did I call

364
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: the outing from yesterday? I said it was trade They

365
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: peed in their own bed and then rolled around in

366
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: it for four quarters. That is what I said. That

367
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: is all true. We just sat here and went position

368
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: group by position group, and we failed most of them

369
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: and just gave an average grade to the defensive line.

370
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: I agree those are my grades. They're all true. What's

371
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,479
Speaker 1: also true is there's evidence that the Cowboys have been

372
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 1: punched in the mouth this season and have come back

373
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: and have come back and won the very next game

374
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: and going on runs more often than not. That is

375
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 1: also true. That's what I'm saying. So I'm not apologizing

376
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: for what happened because it's indefensible against that Washington team.

377
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 1: But I'm also saying we can't see we can't look

378
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: at the macro of what happened over the course of

379
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: this season, and a week ago talk about how McCarthy

380
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 1: and this coaching staff has fought through adversity and losing

381
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott and all these injuries and losing Hankins and

382
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: losing lt Vanderesh and losing Toron Smiths before the season

383
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: move a rookie first round picked Tim with Smith and

384
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: left guard after not having him take any reps there

385
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: and training camp. The list goes on and on, and

386
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: still they find ways to not lose two in a

387
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: row en route to a twelve and five season. There

388
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: is evidence there that this team can bounce back. So

389
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is that's what I expect to happen.

390
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,959
Speaker 1: That's what they need to expect and demand of themselves

391
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: in the locker room, in the meeting rooms, on the

392
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 1: practice field every day this week, and when you get

393
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: on that field against Tom Brady, you have a chance

394
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: to not only bounce back from an embarrassing, nauseating loss

395
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 1: against Washington, but to hand Brady his first loss loss

396
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 1: against this franchise and possibly retire him in the process.

397
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: The stage is set. Go do your job, because we

398
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: know you can do your job. That's what I'm saying.

399
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be this frustrated if I didn't think you

400
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: were as elite as I think you can be. But

401
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna say it like I would when

402
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: I'm coaching, and you know, coaching Little league and things

403
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 1: like that. These are grown man. But coaching is coaching.

404
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: Parenting is parenting. It's the same thing. If I've seen

405
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: that you can be great, I no longer accept anything

406
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 1: less than what you've shown me. Bottom line, and you've

407
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 1: seen it, and I've seen it. If I if I

408
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: didn't see it at any point this year, I would

409
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: be sitting here saying, you know what things are? Things are?

410
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 1: You know, go ahead and wrap it up. We're gonna

411
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: get blown out in Tampa Bay. I understand Isaiah makes

412
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 1: valid points. You make valid points. Anyone who saw the

413
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,199
Speaker 1: game and actually watches film over the course of this

414
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: season knows that there are valid points to be made

415
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: for having concern about this Cowboys team going into these playoffs.

416
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: All of that is true. What's also true is anyone

417
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,719
Speaker 1: who's watched this season, watched the film from this season,

418
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: knows that there's also a chance this Cowboys team might

419
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: benefit from being punched in the mouth. As much as

420
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: we hate that they that it had to happen. That's

421
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I hate that they lost that game

422
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: in Watchington, I hate the fashion in which it happened,

423
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: But if it had to happen if if Week eighteen

424
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:49,919
Speaker 1: had to be the sacrificial lamb to get to the

425
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: promised Land, and they put the head off that goal

426
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 1: manad off that I've got a stat that's gonna back

427
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: your point up here, and I've got a stat that's

428
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 1: gonna destroy the point at the same time. And fourth,

429
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: I mean, depending on how you want to take it,

430
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: perception is reality. I'm going to give it to you.

431
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: On the other side of the break, We're going to

432
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: continue with more talking cowboys right after this. When you build,

447
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 1: I bet you've probably done something investoristic and f G

448
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: and know what that is. It's a nonpunchable token something

449
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the

450
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

451
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 1: online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be

452
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

453
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: But the good news is Todd has AT and T

454
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

455
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

456
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and

457
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,800

477
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 1: We've got our Black Rifle rolling, We've got the coffee flowing,

478
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: we got the energy here. Because the Cowboys fell twenty

479
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: six to six in the regular season finale against the

480
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: Washington Commanders. So I want to go back and talk

481
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: about Patrick's point in that first segment and valid points

482
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: across the board, because, like I said, perception is reality.

483
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: Right now, where right now, you can perceive this Cowboys

484
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: team as they've got the weapons, they've got the talent.

485
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: If they play their best football, the only team that

486
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: can beat them is the Star And you saw that

487
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 1: again yesterday. They can bounce back, absolutely, they can. They

488
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: can bounce back. And yesterday I put this out on

489
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,719
Speaker 1: Twitter actually for this point, because there are six games

490
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: from the start of last year that I have had

491
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: as losses, six losses that stick in the back of

492
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 1: my mind. Twenty twenty one against Denver, Week nine, get

493
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: blown out at home against a bad different the Blueprint game,

494
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 1: Week twelve, which is Thanksgiving against Las Vegas last year,

495
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 1: penalty penalty, penalty, penalty penalties, and that was even an

496
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: overtime loss. You should have won that game, you didn't.

497
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: And then the wild card game in twenty twenty one

498
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: against San Francisco. This year, the three games are Week

499
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: one against Tampa Bay, Week fifteen against Jacksonville when you

500
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: were up by seventeen, and now twenty twenty two, Week

501
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: eighteen against Washington. The part of that stat that's going

502
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: to go toward Patrick's point, what did they do in

503
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: each of the weeks After all of those games they won,

504
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 1: They won every single one of the weeks after that.

505
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: They were six and oh following those six games, those

506
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: are the games that stuck out in my mind as

507
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 1: signature losses. Absolutely just did not play well. Performances across

508
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: the board bad. They won all six games after that, which,

509
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: to their credit, that's huge. So for everybody that's saying

510
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: this guy is falling, let's tup, let's tap the brakes.

511
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: They've got a game next week. You can say it

512
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: next week. If they lose, you can say sky is falling.

513
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: So we'll tell me Isaiah. Then, from your standpoint as

514
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: a player, how much do you have to rely on

515
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: your own motivation? Because the motivation wasn't necessarily there in

516
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: week eighteen, but now it is. It's either win or

517
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 1: go home. Your motivation can't be dictated upon the opponent

518
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: that you're facing. That's first off, Then why is it?

519
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: Why is it? See, you can't speak to that because

520
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: I weren't. I was not in locker rooms that that existed. Okay,

521
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: so I cannot speak to that mindset. I can identify it,

522
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: I can I can acknowledge it and say that that's

523
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: I've played teams that are that are wishy washy and up, up,

524
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: sometimes down, sometimes going with the tide, you know, but

525
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 1: you gotta remain steadfast as as a team, as an organization.

526
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: You got the right mindset, and unfortunately this team has not.

527
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: To date, they have not been a pinnacle of consistency

528
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,239
Speaker 1: in any facet of the game. I guess you can

529
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: say Special Teams has probably been the most consistent out

530
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: of out of all the units, and that fell apart yesterday.

531
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: So I can't speak to their mindset, but I can

532
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 1: speak and say this is what needs to take place

533
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: going for it. Yesterday was yesterday. I don't even know

534
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: if they're going to review the tape. I probably wouldn't.

535
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't view the table watch on the flight.

536
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure. Yeah, But once you land be done with it. Yeah,

537
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: And that's yeah, once you land be done with it,

538
00:27:55,560 --> 00:28:00,360
Speaker 1: because now it's all about film study going forward. If

539
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: you don't, if you have to get up for a

540
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 1: playoff game, you just should not be in the locker room.

541
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 1: So I'm not even going to I'm not even gonna

542
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: project that anybody on the roster has to get up

543
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:10,919
Speaker 1: for that game. I'm not gonna put that out there

544
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: because I don't think they have those type of competitors

545
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: on this team. I do think that collectively they need

546
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: to come together and figure out what the ultimate, real,

547
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: the realistic goal is for this team. It's easy for

548
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: every single body to sit in the locker room at

549
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year when coach walks in and says,

550
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,400
Speaker 1: we're going for the Super Bowl this year, We're going

551
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: NFC Championship, then we're going you know, we're you know,

552
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,239
Speaker 1: we're going to Division championship, NFC Championship, and then we're

553
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 1: gonna win a super Bowl. Everybody says it, Okay, cool, Ray, Ray,

554
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: what's your realistic expectation? What what's the identity of your team?

555
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: And you can know I talk about culture and identity

556
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: a lot because when it comes down to the nitty griddy,

557
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: like we just saw yesterday, like it matters who want

558
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: So when I ask the question, you know, to no ce,

559
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: not to not being a jerk, I'm just saying, like,

560
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,719
Speaker 1: what do you truly expect to that you know you're

561
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,479
Speaker 1: gonna rest your head on, You're gonna yeah, what can

562
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: you teams that have such a church? Isaiah and I

563
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: sit on the postgame show yesterday, there are certain teams

564
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: that have that have an identity. He's not really a joy.

565
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: I'm just joke. Yeah, I mean we watched everybody, everybody

566
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: at home set there and watch that Detroit in Green

567
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: Bay game yesterday for the most part, and that team bald.

568
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: One thing you know about Detroit is what they're gonna

569
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: They're gonna freaking fight. They're gonna bust you in the mouth.

570
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: That's their identity. It doesn't matter if they win or lose.

571
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: You're gonna leave. You gonna leave LIMPN. Everybody's not going

572
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: back healthy. But that's the identity of a team, right,

573
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: And there's certain individuals and certain cultures that are established.

574
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: And I'm just waiting to see Dallas is we know

575
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: that Dallas is fully capable of being a freaking amazing

576
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: team when they play all together, when they figure it out,

577
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: when they when they come together, it can't play. Oh

578
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: they're they're a problem. And everybody knows that. Everybody league

579
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: knows talent wise, based upon the roster, based upon their

580
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: coaching staff, the capabilities that that Dallas possesses. But it's

581
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: a mindset to go out there and put that on

582
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:02,479
Speaker 1: the show every single week. So you have to go

583
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: back and watch a crapload a film. I mean there

584
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: is no video games, there is no TV, there's not

585
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: even no reading. Okay, this is all you're when you're

586
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: on the toilet, you're watching film. When you're when you

587
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: should go you should go to bed falling asleep to film,

588
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: wake up first and you grab your tablet watching more film.

589
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: Like everybody has to be on one accord, and then

590
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: you have to have meetings on top of meetings. I

591
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: go back to our time on our on our Super

592
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: Bowl run, and we would have we would watch film

593
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: like crazy. Then we would have installed, and we have practice,

594
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: then we have walkthroughs, and then we will come back

595
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: and in Eli would have a whole other film of

596
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: the package that he had put together, and he'd bring

597
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: all the people who are gonna catch a ball and

598
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: we would sit in a room and we would watch

599
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,479
Speaker 1: film based upon from his perspective, and you would just

600
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it was so much so that we were

601
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: all on one accord, so that the non verbal communication

602
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,719
Speaker 1: was one on one accord, all the install, everything that

603
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: you were seeing, everything that I was seeing, we were

604
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: all seeing the same exact thing. That's where this team

605
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: has to get to within the span of seven days,

606
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: and they just happened to have to do it against

607
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: the best dude to ever touch the touch the football field,

608
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: who's had his own share of struggle. Absolutely. Yeah, And

609
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: here's what I'm interested in, the same um you mentioned

610
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. So let's talk about the back end

611
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one for a quick moment, and as

612
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: it relates to the back end of twenty twenty two.

613
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: The seasons wise, Cowboys went into Week eighteen against the

614
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles last season and just walk the dog. Yeah,

615
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: they did fifty plus points. Walk the dog. Everybody was

616
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: feeling good. Everybody was feeling great, from the fandom to

617
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: the analysts to everybody inside of the building feeling great,

618
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: feeling wonderful going into the playoffs twelve and five on

619
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: the heels of that kind of a win against the

620
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: division rival. Absolutely let's goal. And then what happened in

621
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: the wild card Fast forward to now, the exact opposite

622
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: has now taken place. The Cowboys are still at twelve

623
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: and five, exactly what they were last season, but they're

624
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: entering the playoffs having been punched in the mouth in

625
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: Week eighteen. Okay, it'll be very interesting to see if

626
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: they can flip the script. Maybe they were riding too

627
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: high off of that fifty point bomb against the Eagles.

628
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: In Week eight, team went into a ten t against

629
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers and thought, oh, we got this.

630
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: They can come in with their boomboxes and whatnot. We're

631
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: gonna walk oh and and oh right, So maybe, and again,

632
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: nobody wanted to see that. We all predicted this team

633
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: would win in big fashion against Washington. Nobody wanted to

634
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: see what we what we watched at FedEx Field on

635
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: yesterday that said, it will be very interesting to see

636
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: because that we've seen the Cowboys going to the playoffs

637
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: twelve and five, you know, hanging a fifty brisket? Is

638
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: that what we're doing? Fifty brisket fifty hanging a fifty

639
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: brisket on a divisional rival. Well, now you're going into

640
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: the playoffs. You're still twelve and five, just like last season,

641
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: but you're you're missing some teeth, So now what are

642
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: you gonna do? Okay, let me just play at Devil's

643
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: Advocate here though, ye playing Devil's Advocate here yesterday When

644
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: you went into that game, you had everything still on

645
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: the table at kickoff, and now of course that that

646
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: left it at halftime, right, you had everything still on

647
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: the table, could have been the top seed in the NFC,

648
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: could have won the division at least go into and

649
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: following in your favor exactly. The last game of the

650
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one season where everything mattered for the Cowboys,

651
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: or something outside of seating mattered, was Arizona Week seventeen.

652
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: You got beat in that game. You got beaten that

653
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: same game, So yesterday was the last game everything mattered

654
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: in the regular season. Just so happy to be the

655
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: last game in the regular season. You went into that

656
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: Week eighteen matchup against Philly resting guys. Are talking about

657
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: resting guys. Now they didn't. They played in the first half,

658
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: and then you won fifty one twenty six. So I've

659
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: I've always looked at that Philly game as false hope,

660
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: fool's goal old because you didn't play in the game

661
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: that mattered most against Arizona the finale last year, correct

662
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:10,760
Speaker 1: as fools gold because you you went into Arizona needing

663
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: a win to improve your seating. You could have been

664
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 1: the two seed in the in the NFC at that point,

665
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 1: and you didn't win that game yesterday, same thing. You

666
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,760
Speaker 1: went into it. You needed a win to improve your seating,

667
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: and you didn't win it. So that's my that's my

668
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: one devil's advocate point there of talking about you were

669
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 1: riding high, sure because you won fifty one twenty six,

670
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 1: but was it really did it really feel the same Isaiah?

671
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: Or is what was it? Again? Back to the hope

672
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: that we're talking about as hope, it's always hoping until

673
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: you show me that you can consistently give me the

674
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: same performance. Yeah, it's always old, always, and the people

675
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: a goat as a bad word. It is a bad word.

676
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: It's just like saying somebody has potential, because that's what

677
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: we're talking about. Dallas has the potential of showing up

678
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: next week and smacking Tampa upside to head. They got

679
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: the potential, absolutely, but you don't have the confidence in

680
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,280
Speaker 1: it right now. And anybody who says they have confidence

681
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: in it right now is because you're hoping, because you

682
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: don't have any any work over the last five weeks

683
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: to show that. Yeah, these boys show up and they

684
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 1: do this every single time. You don't. So if you

685
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: don't know that, there's no coach that's gonna pick a

686
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: player that you don't know what they're gonna get every

687
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: single game. Okay, So here's Devil's advocate. So now I'm

688
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: gonna play that. I'm gonna piggyball devil. Advocateness, new word,

689
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: go with it, different advocacy, Let it work. Um. I

690
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: don't think hope is a bad word unless it's blind. Okay, Right,

691
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: So I have to I keep harping on the fact

692
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 1: that there is evidence to support the fact that you

693
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: if you choose to have hope, I can tell you

694
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: if you or not. We just put the facts out

695
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:45,800
Speaker 1: there and you see it with your own eyes and

696
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: then your terms what you want to do. But if

697
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,720
Speaker 1: you choose to subscribe to hope, I choose to subscribe

698
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: to hope. Here's why I choose to subscribe to hope. Again,

699
00:35:55,040 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 1: Cowboys have shown a proclivity to bounce back after losses

700
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 1: this season. That's one. Two. You're getting Jonathan Hankins back,

701
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: Hankins back for the playoffs. You're getting a key player

702
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 1: and your defensive play caller and laying Vanderesh back, And

703
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: there's a very good chance to put a pin in it.

704
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: But there's a very good chance you get your starting

705
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: center back for a super wild car weekend. Combine those

706
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: variables into a cauldron. Sprinkle in some coaching staff praise

707
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: that we've been giving as far as overcoming adversity and

708
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: the hope. It's not a bad thing, because to me,

709
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: it's not blind. If the Cowboys had shown you nothing

710
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: to believe in back their way into the playoffs, then

711
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: you could probably say, you know what, Okay. You could

712
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:47,919
Speaker 1: look at the Giants, for example, say well, they backed

713
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: their way into the playoffs that season and then they

714
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: went on the running. There you go. You just gotta

715
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: get hot at the right time. Fair. But even that

716
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: was closer to blind hope than anything. Because they backed in,

717
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: they didn't look great on the back end of that

718
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: season or for the majority this season. This Cowboys team,

719
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: which goes back to my frustration, this Cowboys team has

720
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: shown that when they come to play and when they

721
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 1: don't play down to the level of competition, they can

722
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 1: beat every other team in the league. Now show me

723
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 1: once again that you can take a punch in the

724
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: mouth get up off of the mat. But now the

725
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: task is more daunting because now everything's on the line

726
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 1: against Tom Brady on his field. So yes, degree of

727
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: difficulty through the roof exponentially higher. But the hope is

728
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: not blind. It's what I'm saying. I like your point.

729
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: I like your point, and we'll talk more about this

730
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: album obviously as the week goes on, Cher, then I

731
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: have to go and I'm not This is no set

732
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,839
Speaker 1: conclusion for me, right, I still have a ton more

733
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: film to watch and a bunch of other stuff, right, yea,

734
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:54,240
Speaker 1: As of right now, what's the strength of your team?

735
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,320
Speaker 1: What portion of your team is a strip? It's supposed

736
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: to be your pass, your pass rush? Okay, Tom Brady

737
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:04,720
Speaker 1: hold the ball. Okay, they get it out pretty quick. Okay, Um,

738
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,879
Speaker 1: where's the weakness of your team right now? Secondary? Okay,

739
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,760
Speaker 1: where's the strength of their team? So as we're looking

740
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 1: at this Hope and then we look at the matchup, right,

741
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: that's where my mind's going with it. I'm not in again,

742
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: I'm not set on it. It's not Friday. I haven't

743
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: said it with my chest in terms of where I'm

744
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: going whatever. I'm just looking at the reality, Like the

745
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,360
Speaker 1: areas that we suck right now is the areas that

746
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: they excel in the portions that you think that you

747
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,760
Speaker 1: can usually take advantage of the game. You can't because

748
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: he's not gonna give you an opportunity to get there, right.

749
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,959
Speaker 1: So you start looking at it and you start saying, okay, well,

750
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: where else can we can we figure things out? Okay,

751
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: we gotta be able to run the ball. Well, they

752
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: got some dudes that kind of make it hard to

753
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: run the ball right. And then you start looking at okay, well,

754
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 1: when we thought the ball on it right, we got kill.

755
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: The more we got that, we got that, and you

756
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:58,879
Speaker 1: start thinking some of the decisions that are being made.

757
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: So I hear you on the hope, But it's the

758
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: same reason why you wouldn't put Russell Russell Westbrook on

759
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: your your basketball team right now. You know, you she's

760
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: showing you what he's capable of, but you know, but

761
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,240
Speaker 1: you know what he's capable of, right, you've seen it before.

762
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: I'm saying, but you've seen it before. You know what

763
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: he's capable of. But he's not somebody that you're gonna

764
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: pick out your roster right now because you're hoping that

765
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: the old school Russell Westbrook shows up. Hope's not a strategy.

766
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: I understand the hope from the beginning. I understand it

767
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,760
Speaker 1: not being blind hope as well, but you also don't

768
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 1: want to be You don't want to be negligent to

769
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 1: what could come. Absolutely, because the red flags are there,

770
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 1: They're all there again, and they're waving right in front

771
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 1: of your face, much like it did last year. We

772
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: chose to ignore it and then went right into it.

773
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 1: Patrick's wearing the Georgia red the day walking red flag.

774
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: Now I'm just kidding. Uh, when we come back, we're

775
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: gonna wrap things up. We're gonna turn the page a

776
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: little really, okay, let's do It's playoff week, please, No,

777
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,560

778
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,799

779
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:08,120

782

783
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 1: is trying to be faster than this cheetah that can

784
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: run eighty miles per hour. But the good news is

785

Speaker 1: Todd has at and T five G. It is fast, reliable,

786
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 1: and secure, and he learned the best thing to do

787
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 1: is stop running and toss her the backpack with the

832
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 1: a little bit more than that, Broncos have requested permission

833
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 1: to interview Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn for their head

834
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 1: coaching job. Perch Soorts that has reports from Adams are

835
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 1: talking to every week. Everyone is Sean Payton, dan Quinn everywhere. Ryan. Yeah.

836
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 1: Now they're talking to everyone. Demko's already waved off. They're

837
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 1: gonna call you next. Demicos already waved off that job

838
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 1: in South Texas. I don't want no parts. It's like no,

839
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you. All right, if you had to

840
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,320
Speaker 1: pick one area of improvement that you want to see

841
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 1: from Week eighteen to the wild card, you only get one,

842
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 1: get one card. Where are you gonna play it? Where

843
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 1: do you want to see the Cowboys in order to

844
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 1: get a win against Tampa set, not even in position

845
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: collective mindset. Okay, what would you want to see? I

846
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: want to see a killer instinct. I want to every

847
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: facet of others game. These guys, every player that takes

848
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 1: the field has to not only understand their assignment, execute

849
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,839
Speaker 1: their assignment, and be relentless in their approach to the game.

850
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: That's what I need to see. That's what we have

851
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: not seen across the board. Where does that start? Does

852
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 1: that started? Your coach started your quarterbacks and always starts

853
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: with your coach. But the only thing is your coach

854
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,439
Speaker 1: can't make players play, okay, so it starts with your coach.

855
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 1: He can, he can have all the meetings he wants to,

856
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 1: he can instill all the practice. You know, scripts and

857
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 1: schemes and you know everything else. But at the end

858
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 1: of the day, that your players have to make the

859
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 1: decision to go out there and be dogs. That was

860
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 1: a huge talking point in the off season when they

861
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: were drafting, when they were adding free agents. We want

862
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: to go out there and add dogs. We want to

863
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 1: add guys that have that killer instinct, that have that

864
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 1: second hand mentality of we don't care who you are

865
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: on the other side of the football. We're going to

866
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: do our own thing. I haven't seen that. Over the

867
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,800
Speaker 1: last month and a half. They've been winning games great,

868
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 1: they haven't been showing that. It hasn't been that killer

869
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: instinct yet. The playoffs you have to have an etching

870
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:12,919
Speaker 1: sketch mentality, wipe and repeat every player. That happens. Oh

871
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 1: that was nice, Okay, shake it off. Next one for me,

872
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not concerned with the mindset in the

873
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 1: aspect of all season, we've been concerned that this team

874
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 1: has been playing down to his competition. Valid fair, We've

875
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 1: said it, we've seen it, we've criticized it. Side. On

876
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: the flip side, they're theoretically no bad teams in the playoffs. Yeah,

877
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 1: so I'm not worried about you playing down to your

878
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: competition because you know what true you know tru up against.

879
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 1: So here we go locking low. But to answer your question,

880
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: passing the tech passing offense from Week eighteen to Super

881
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 1: Bowl car weekend, passing offense has to get it has

882
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: to get firing. There were so many miscues in Washington,

883
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: and some of it, a good bit of it was

884
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: accountable to Dak Prescott. You saw some arrant passes I

885
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: remember one in particular the shows that kind of sailed

886
00:45:57,960 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 1: over that would have been a first down over to

887
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 1: the left hand side. Uh. Um. But then also in

888
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 1: the passing attack, uh talk about the MISSQ to Ezek

889
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 1: Elliott out on the screens. He didn't even know the

890
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 1: ball was coming his waist so he didn't turn around.

891
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: Um and Zeke can make that play. But I wonder

892
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: why Paula wasn't there so kind of looking at Kellen

893
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: Moore for that one. Uh t y one of the

894
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:22,879
Speaker 1: more shorthanded pass catchers in the history of the game.

895
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: Two drops I registered and one of those was on

896
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: the big third down play. Would you know he had

897
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:30,760
Speaker 1: to climb the ladder, hit him right in the hands.

898
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 1: Right passing attack. That means the quarterback Dak Prescott has

899
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 1: to play cleaner football, has to make better decisions. I'm

900
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: not saying no, it's all passing attack. And like I said,

901
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 1: you took you took an umbrella with the question too,

902
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 1: so he can take take an umbrella. He took more

903
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 1: than umbrella, the whole team putting the tarp the top

904
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 1: over the over the building. But no, for me, it's

905
00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: passing attack. Dak Prescott not saying anyone needs to new

906
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 1: to him. We say that last week. That's not what

907
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,839
Speaker 1: we're saying. But be smarter with your decision making. Make

908
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 1: better throws than what we're made in week eighteen. On

909
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,360
Speaker 1: the opposite side of that, receivers, get your hand on

910
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: the ball. Catch the ball, because those possessions are going

911
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 1: to count in a big way against Tom Brady, because

912
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:18,319
