1
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: The following. He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football clubs. Are you ready for

3
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: a break? Yes? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely?

4
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: Ready for a break? Yeah, And so much for that.

5
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: It's time for the Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com

6
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagldon.

7
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: Welcome back, guys. You probably don't know why we're laughing,

8
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: but Dave just has his stats sheets just a complete mess. Travel.

9
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: The travel was The travel was a mess. It was

10
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: from just as messy as the game, just as messy

11
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: as the game. The Cowboys lose to well ten against

12
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: the Saints, and that was not necessarily what we expected

13
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: the game to be. I mean, we were talking a

14
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: lot about scoring more points than that, but the Cowboys

15
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: failed to move the ball. There were a lot of

16
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: things that didn't seem quite like the offense that we've

17
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: been seeing so far. Let's just start off with their performance.

18
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, what he wasn't able to get done. You

19
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: know during the game, you know what I thought that.

20
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: You know, you're right, we didn't expect that. I don't

21
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: know why we didn't. I mean last year it was

22
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: kind of that kind of game, but we just thought, well,

23
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: that was kind of different, and it would it would

24
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: open up, and you know, I just kind of felt

25
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: like the offense just thought that, well, now I missed

26
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: that one to Randall Cobble, or we'll come back, you know,

27
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: fumble there. No, that was unfortunate. Before you know it,

28
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: you're in the middle of the third quarter and almost

29
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, you're like, they don't have any points, Like

30
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: it's like that at some point they're gonna get into

31
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: into gear and they never did. And it's unfortunate. I

32
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: thought the Cowboys were a better football team. I mean,

33
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: I thought they were better than that. I still think

34
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: they're better than the Saints. But that's what's embarrassing about

35
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: it is losing a game like that. Yeah, I'm I'm

36
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: I'm aggravated with myself just because I felt like I

37
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: was halfway there, Like a lot of it I did

38
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,399
Speaker 1: expect to see. Like what we saw on the defensive

39
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: side of the ball against the Saints was exactly what

40
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: I expected to see. Like a lot of Ben don't

41
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: break Kamara and Mike Thomas, they got their yards, they

42
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: didn't break the game wide open. Forced the Saints to

43
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: settle for a lot of field goals that played out

44
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: according to script perfectly, and then I just you know,

45
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: I didn't think it would be the most amazing offensive

46
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: performance of the season, but it was. I mean, it

47
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: was basically a no show. They just they looked rough.

48
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: They looked like the first four games of last season.

49
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: Like go throw on the Panthers tape from the season

50
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: opening last year, and that's what it reminded me of.

51
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: Like Zeke couldn't get any running room, That's what. But

52
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: my biggest expectations were to see Zeke running the ball,

53
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: and he only got thirty five yards. Again, I'll sound

54
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: like a douche. I'm sorry, Like I didn't. I didn't

55
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,679
Speaker 1: expect to see that. I said it on the show

56
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: last week. I was like, I don't think you're going

57
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: to have a lot of success charging Zeke up the

58
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: middle against this defense. I know the stats don't look

59
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: good on the Saints part, but I think they're up

60
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: to stopping that. And the Cowboys disagreed with me, because

61
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 1: that's all they wanted to do all night long, was

62
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: just charge him into a loaded front. Well, when you

63
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: have Michael galloping there and then Mark battling with the

64
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: ankle thing. The run game didn't work. The Cowboys receivers

65
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: couldn't get open for whatever, for whatever reason you want

66
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 1: to pinpoint, when you're tight ends or your leading receivers,

67
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: it's never it's not going to be a good thing

68
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: unless you have like you know, Jason Kelsey, Travis Kelsey,

69
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: excuse me, if you have him, then he can be

70
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: your leading receiver. Jason Witten and Blake Jarwin. If they're

71
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: your leading receivers, it's not gonna be a good night.

72
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: And the offense just was bad the receivers. And I

73
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: said it last week and Derek Um we just we

74
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: just got started here talking about how bad it was offensively. Yeah,

75
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: pretty bad. I think from a receiver standpoint. I said

76
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: it two weeks ago. Well, we'll see, is Gallup you

77
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: know that good? Is he making that much you know improvement?

78
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,239
Speaker 1: Or is this offense is so good that the second

79
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: guy is gonna get in there? And I was wrong

80
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: about that. I mean they're missing Gallup, they're missing another

81
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: playmaker because Devin Smith can't really get open. Randall Cobb

82
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: is him or miss with him. It's just like it

83
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: works sometimes. But then another times it's just it doesn't happen. Yeah,

84
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: I thought he had you know, he didn't play. Is

85
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: great that they missed on two big plays Cobb and Dak.

86
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: One of them was on Dak, other one I think

87
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: was really more on Cobbin in the fourth quarter. But

88
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: either way, the receivers aren't getting open, you gotta put

89
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: Cooper in there as well. Are we allowing for the

90
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: fact that maybe the quarterback didn't have his best game

91
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: and so if if it's a part of saying that

92
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: weren't getting open, could it have been a situation where

93
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,799
Speaker 1: they were open more often than they got the ball

94
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: and the quarterback just didn't get them the ball as affect,

95
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: there are there plays going around like social media and

96
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: stuff like that. I haven't seen that. The thing is,

97
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: is there some places where it's like, oh he missed

98
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: that one. Well, I mean it's the cop throw is

99
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: a classic example one no, no, no, the fourth quarter.

100
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, cops should have caught that ball. It

101
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: wasn't well placed passed. It can be both, like everybody

102
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: wants to pick out both. But I think he put

103
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: the ball where he needed to on that place. He

104
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: actually don't I don't put that as much on dec

105
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: because I think if you look at it, Lottimore. I

106
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: think it was a Lottimore that was coming straight for him,

107
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: And if he'd have thrown that ball in front of him,

108
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: the cop would have might not have gotten up. I

109
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: mean he was he was answering. So sometimes the quarterback

110
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: has to protect him from what's around them. And I

111
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: think that was a situation where he threw it behind

112
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: him so that he wouldn't run him right into that

113
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: think to sound like Garrett, but on that play right there,

114
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: and and it happens every time these guys are going

115
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: over the middle receivers. Yeah, they want to be like

116
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: Jerry Rice and just be right there catch it on

117
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: the move. But line one is catch the football. So

118
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: he has to stop and say, all right, that's not

119
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: where I wanted to be, but I've got to catch

120
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: it and then turn up the field and see and

121
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: he kind of tried to do it all they're showing

122
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: the play right there, and you could see you could

123
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: see he was I mean, he had a beat on

124
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: him and he was coming for him. And without that,

125
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: without him he showed and you couldn't see. You need

126
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: another I am a firm believer that at the NFL level,

127
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: if the ball hits both of your hands, it should

128
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: be a catch. Me too, But thank you, he had

129
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: to turn awkwardly, like, even with what you're saying about,

130
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: Latimore could have been a better place ball and Dak

131
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: had a few of those. And the crappy thing about

132
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: this is like, you know when they play the Dolphins

133
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: at noon and we're done with work at seven, and

134
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: you can go home and watch the broadcast again or

135
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: go find stuff on. So I've barely seen anything over again.

136
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: Like we got on a plane. I collapsed into bed

137
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: at two forty five in the morning, I got up

138
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: to come to work at eight forty five, and I

139
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: can't wait to see the all twenty two. I haven't.

140
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: I almost it's almost irresponsible for me to try to,

141
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: like to do a deep dive on what I saw

142
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: because I need to see it again. If I see

143
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: any pass interference, I don't know, Kyle, I don't know

144
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: if we have that back there, but if we do, yeah,

145
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: let me know because I have you know, the offensive

146
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: pass interference? Is that what you ask I haven't seen

147
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: those two with Cooper. I saw the first one because

148
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: we were in the press box and you know, broke

149
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: my neck to look up and see it. And I

150
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: didn't think that was a really good call. But the

151
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: one on the field, I don't know. I haven't well.

152
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: Cooper did say after the game he was being very

153
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: careful with his words, but he said the first one,

154
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: he said, hey, I can understand where they would make

155
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: that call. Um the second one he said, he really

156
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: didn't understand it at all. And I don't know if

157
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: this is the first one or the second one that

158
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: was on the fourth quarter of the fourth quarter, it's just,

159
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, Cooper's calling for the flag, like yeah, yeah, yeah,

160
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: flag him. Okay, how was that not on the defense?

161
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: Like they were hand fighting? There were some really bad calls.

162
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: Expert showmanship by Lattimore is what that is. But the

163
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: problem is Lattimore was already grabbing him. So that's where

164
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, at the war, I mean, best cases, there's

165
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: a no hauled there because they were both hand fighting.

166
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: And that's where, you know, it seems like this year,

167
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: at least, it seems like there's more this emphasis on

168
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: calling these offensive pass in affearences where there is a

169
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: time when you wouldn't get that hardly at all. And

170
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: again I'm not trying to say that the offense should

171
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: have an unfair advantage, but I think when they're both

172
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: hand fighting at the best case show, you don't you

173
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: just don't call at all. I thought the officials were

174
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: absolutely terrible. I think I can say that right. I

175
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: mean to say they were terrible. They were terrible for

176
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: both whoever lost that game. If the Cowboys get in

177
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: position getting another five ten yards kick a field goal,

178
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: the Saints are sitting here going that was terrible because

179
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 1: they got bad calls too. I mean, just be consistent,

180
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 1: Just be consistent. I mean, if you're gonna call a

181
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: tikie tack these quarterbacks slide the last second and Dak

182
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: barely gets hit and you're gonna give them fifteen yards,

183
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,599
Speaker 1: then give Bridgewater fifteen yards. When Jalen Smith does it

184
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: even worse than that, that's just terrible. I mean, like

185
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: the inconsistency of that and the fumble no fumble, the

186
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: OPI which I hate. I really hate complaining about the

187
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: refs because they it ain't change. Well, not only that,

188
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: it ain't gonna change, and I really do believe like

189
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: it evens out over time, like it's it, but they

190
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: called that game really terribly, like they were inconsistent, they

191
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: ruined the flow of the game, like it felt like

192
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: there were stretches where there was a flag every other

193
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 1: play for six seven minutes at a time, and they

194
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: just sucked. They were bad. They were bad. And tomorrow

195
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 1: maybe we can talk about some things. I mean, I've

196
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: I've got some some opinions on the refs and we

197
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: can talk about some of these things. I don't know

198
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: if we want to bog down the show today with it,

199
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: but there are some things that I really think they've

200
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: got to figure out this past interference thing, and and

201
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: we'll talk about tomorrow. I just feel like you've got

202
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: to be able to challenge everything. If you can challenge

203
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: it all, you should be able to challenge throughout the game.

204
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: I mean, especially in the like that, Like I guess

205
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: that Garrett didn't have a time out, but you've got

206
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: to be able to challenge that. And I just think

207
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 1: they've got to figure this out because it's a judgment

208
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: called this isn't out of bounds, this is maybe it is,

209
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 1: maybe it isn't, And those guys upstairs aren't going to

210
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 1: sell out their guys down there and be like, yeah,

211
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call it unless it's a crazy spearing Saints

212
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: Rams play. But that play we just saw, I have

213
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: a hard time thing even if they could have reviewed that,

214
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: I have a hard time thinking they reverse it because

215
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: they still look at it and say, well, it still

216
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: looks like Cooper pushed out and it still looked like

217
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: the defensive back gut pushed back. So regardless of what

218
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: really happened, regardless of all the hand fighting before, I

219
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: don't think they're going to overturn that, even if you

220
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 1: could review it. So I don't know if that necessarily

221
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: even solves your problem. But I don't want to get

222
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: off the rails because we can actually talk about the game.

223
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: But like the stuff that happened in the Green Bay

224
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: Philly game on Thursday night just convinced me concrete in

225
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: my mind. They put that rule in to bail themselves

226
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: out of another Saints Ram situation, like if a horrible

227
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 1: only if a horrible call is going to dictate who

228
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: goes to the super Bowl. They gave themselves and out

229
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: and they're not going to use it anywhere else, Like

230
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: they're they're just not going to Like I think it

231
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: was you know it was past interference on Avante Maddox.

232
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: I think it was Valdez scantling one of those Green

233
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: Bay receivers. Like it was the most obvious past interference

234
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: I've ever seen, and they didn't reverse it because they

235
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: don't want to open that Pandora's box. I like, they're

236
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: just not going to do it unless it is something

237
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: and absurd like we saw in that NFC Championship. You

238
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 1: don't think that fumble with Zeke, I mean, I guess

239
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: I don't understand the rules of what what is coming

240
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: out the balls coming out or the balls out because

241
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 1: the ball was sort of coming out when he was

242
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: when his elbow was down. I always understood it as

243
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: the player is losing control of the ball. I don't

244
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 1: think he was losing control of the ball at the

245
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: time his elbow was down. I thought he still had

246
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: the ball. Now, whether it was moving or not is

247
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: irrelevant if he still control the ball. And and so

248
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: in my opinion, and that's what I understand. I don't again,

249
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: when you start talking rules in the NFL, it gets

250
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: so detailed out. I just honestly don't know it did.

251
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: It didn't look like a fumble when I saw it,

252
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: and again, like it's so funny, Like if you're listening

253
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: at home, you have a much better view of what

254
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: was going on. We're two miles up in the press box.

255
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: The jumbotrons are one hundred and fifty feet away in

256
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: each direction, so you have a view, but it's nowhere

257
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: near as good as you do watching on a fifty

258
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: inch TV. The ball he had the defenderant put his

259
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: hand on the ball, but it wasn't out, it wasn't coming,

260
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: like he hadn't caused the he hadn't called Zeke to

261
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: lose control of the ball at the point that the

262
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: elbow is the amount of seconds that you have to

263
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: have like hold the ball after your elbow is down,

264
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: or just like your elbow is down, the play is over.

265
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: Once the elbows down, the play's over. It's that word.

266
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: It's the word stands. The you know, the call stands

267
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: as opposed to the call is confirmed. And then and

268
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: this is and did they say stands? And this is

269
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: the issue. I'll just say it now because we're talking

270
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: about this. The problem that I have is the officials.

271
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if anyone saw the Detroit Kansas City

272
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: game where there was a fumble, and now the officials

273
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: are they don't want to blow the play dead, so

274
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: they're like, well, if we blow it dead, then we

275
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: might kill one hundred yard touchdown return. So they just

276
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: kind of let everything stand and see what happens and

277
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: all that. I get that that's fine, but then don't

278
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: come back in a replay and say, well, what was

279
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: the call on the field? The call in the field

280
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: was a fumble. No, the call in the field was

281
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: a funbel because you're saving your ass, so that's not

282
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: really the call. You just did that, so you didn't

283
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: so you have a backup plan. Why don't you just

284
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: open it up, be you know, objective about it and

285
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: go was it a fumble or not? I mean, they

286
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: should really have a guylin that Tony Romo Corona commercial

287
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: just sitting out there and just not even watching the

288
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 1: game and say hey, oh wake up, okay a college

289
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: rule like in how they're doing college Like there's a

290
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 1: person that's sitting in the boot that should be just

291
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 1: watches the game and says, oh, I don't know about that.

292
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 1: Let's do something different here, And I think that might

293
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: be the right way to do. Undertake the challenges out

294
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: who killed Lees. College's system is way way way better.

295
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: It doesn't slow it down in the game to me,

296
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: and college games go on longer than But I love football,

297
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: so I don't care. Just don't really care conspiracy theory

298
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: as long as we're whining about stuff that's not the

299
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: actual game, Like the NFL cares more about games going

300
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: quickly than whether they're right. Like that's what they care about.

301
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: It true. That's so anyway, they did actually play a

302
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: football game, they didn't win it. They looked pretty bad.

303
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I don't think we're sitting here whining

304
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: about what The Cowboys didn't lose the game because officials.

305
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: I just thought the officials were absolutely terrible. They lost

306
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: the game because they just they just kept making mistakes

307
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: and thinking that it was going to get better, and

308
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: before you know it, it's the fourth quarter and you've

309
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: only scored ten points. All right, So I got a

310
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: bigger picture perspective question, and I'm gonna take We're gonna

311
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: take a break, but when we come back, I want

312
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: you guys to tell me, is this really no different

313
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: than what happened last year with Cowboys versus Saints From

314
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: the standpoint of the nature of a close game, the

315
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: difference being the home team ends up edging out because

316
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: a lot of things look very similar to me. Let's

317
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: talk about that when we come back. This is Dallas

Speaker 1: Cowboys dot Com Radio. While a player could look good

319
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: on paper, it's one he's out on the field that

320
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: you really find out what he's made of. That's why

321
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: the Cowboys rely on more than just stats and scouting

322
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: reports when building their team. When picking a tractor, it's

323
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: why you should rely on more than just specs and features.

324
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,520

00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 1: The Break live s WBC Mortgage Studios at the Star.

356
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: We're talking about the Cowboys loss last night, the first

357
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 1: loss of the season. They now finished the first quarter

358
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: of the season three and one. But just before the break,

359
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask the question, how much how much

360
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: of this is similar to what we saw last year?

361
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: Last year when the Cowboys played the Saints, it was

362
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: a defensive struggle. Both teams defenses played really well, both

363
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: teams offenses didn't really get much going. Seemed to be

364
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 1: the exact same thing this year. From that standpoint. The

365
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: only difference is in both instances, the home team ended

366
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: up being able to have just a little bit more

367
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: than the road team. How many how much of a

368
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: of a parallel do you see between those? I mean,

369
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: it's just on the surface, it's eerie. I mean it

370
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: was one point off of the same score home team one.

371
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 1: We were arguing about this a little bit before we

372
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: came back. It's like, I can't go all the way

373
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: there with you. I think for starters, I'm looking at

374
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: I pulled up the box score, like the Cowboys played

375
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: such a better game, even on de fence, Like they

376
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 1: allowed one hundred and seventy six yards to that team,

377
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: and that was with Drew Brees. U Kamara had fewer

378
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: yards on more touches than he did last night. Um,

379
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 1: that mean, I said it at the time. I still

380
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: believe it's one of the greatest defensive performances I've ever

381
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: seen in the NFL. And the defense played really well

382
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: last night. They played well enough to win. They did

383
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 1: not play like that, especially considering it was a different,

384
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: lesser quarterback in the game. Is that also though, the

385
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: difference of being on the road versus being at home

386
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 1: to some degree. Possibly, Yeah, No, I mean that's definitely

387
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: got something to do with it. And I think you

388
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: can't convince me the Dome didn't have something to do

389
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: with how well the Saints played on defense. It was loud,

390
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: it was insane. Yeah, Derek's got a freaking noisemeter on

391
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: his Apple watch that was reading one oh five on

392
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: the field three. I thought I saw one oh five.

393
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 1: Now they were on their big Boy they were saying

394
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: one thirty, and so it was like, yeah, I'm gonna

395
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: call BS on that. But yeah, it was it was loud. Yes,

396
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: we could stop with the fifty fifty. They were wrong.

397
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: That article was wrong. It was more like, may have

398
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: at ten percent. Well maybe there were a couple of plays. Yeah,

399
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: it did get loud. I said, you know, we leave

400
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: to go down to the field in the fourth quarter,

401
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: and I'm walking through the I was walking through the

402
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: back of the press box to get to the elevator

403
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: when Robert Quinn sacked Teddy on you know, to force

404
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: whatever based on I was just gauging it purely from

405
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: crowd noise. I was like, okay, the Saints picked up

406
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: the first down because like everybody's cheering, and then the

407
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: stadium announcers like Bridgewater sacked. It was like, holy crap,

408
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 1: like that many people were excited about that. Like there

409
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: were some Cowboys fans there, just not fifty percent. Not

410
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: see is a beast and we got to talk about

411
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: that I for real quick. Though, Even like even in

412
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 1: that thirteen to ten game, the Cowboys offense played better.

413
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: They were fifty percent on third down. Zeke had seventy

414
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: five yards. He only averaged three yards three and a

415
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: half yards per carry, but he ground out yards Like

416
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: none of that, none of that translated last night, like

417
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 1: the offense looked and it's, for lack of a better word,

418
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think they moved the ball fairly well.

419
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: They just kept I mean, when you think about how

420
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: the drives ended, the drive ended with an incomplete pass

421
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: in the end zone. Cobb is there, he just misses it.

422
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: Whitten fumbles that's on Witten. Doesn't happen a lot, but

423
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: it happened at a bad time. Yeah, that's on Zeke

424
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: and d midpoint of the the field. They had opportunities. I

425
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: mean that fumble was Zeke was big because it's what

426
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: six to three, got a chance to get points four

427
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: half to him say you know what we're getting this?

428
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: They got it and then I mean it's a six

429
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: point swing because they're probably gonna go tie the game

430
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 1: with a field goal instead it's nine to three. Yeah,

431
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: I can big one at two point loss. Jason Garrett

432
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: is going to say this later today, and I'm not

433
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: making fun of him because it's true. Like it's something

434
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: covering this team has taught me that. It's like, you know,

435
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: when you're watching the game at home, it's like a

436
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: three and a half hour marathon, but it's I mean

437
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: it's nine possessions, like it's so few possessions and one

438
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 1: of them end's in a mistouchdown pass, two of them

439
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: in didn't fumbles, Like all of a sudden, that's three,

440
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: you know, thirty percent of your drive where you had it.

441
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: You know, it looked like you had a good chance

442
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: to get points. One was in the end zone, tour

443
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 1: at midfield, take away a third of that. If you

444
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: even get field goals on all of those, then all

445
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you've got nineteen points. Yep, I mean

446
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: it matters. And that's not to let anybody off the hook,

447
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: but you know, yeah, if they I mean, there were

448
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 1: several untimely mistakes that drastically swung the way that looked.

449
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 1: You know, I had to feel I knew this was

450
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: going to happen at some point. The whole fact of

451
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: them not starting very fast and then coming back in

452
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 1: the third quarter and moving the ball, and that's exactly

453
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: what happened last night. It just wasn't enough and they

454
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: weren't able to keep that going. It's unfortunate to see

455
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: the mistakes that they caused themselves, you know, in their

456
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: own fault. But we keep talking about killing Moore and

457
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: what he's been able to do in the offense and

458
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: being creative do it that, Yeah, it didn't happen like there,

459
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: You're right, it did, right, And I've been super excited

460
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: with what he's been able to do. But yesterday they

461
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: faced the real challenge. I was telling Dave before. When

462
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: you look at the teams that they've played, the previous

463
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 1: three teams, two of those teams haven't even won a

464
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: single game this season, So it's like, Okay, you start

465
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: really seeing what these teams are made of. And then

466
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: now you face a team like the Saints. We all

467
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: knew it wasn't gonna be easy, but at least use

468
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: your guys differently. You got so many different tools even

469
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: without Michael galloping there. It's disappointing to me knowing that

470
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: ezekularly it got paid. And then you look at this

471
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: thirty five yards that usually when he's able to run

472
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: the ball here and there at the end of the game,

473
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: it adds up and we see that in the stats

474
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: and how he was able to help. But when you

475
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: look at this, it's really upsetting just the way they

476
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 1: used him. I thought, even though the run defense is

477
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: really good, I just personally feel they could have used

478
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: him a lot more. We're watching here this play like

479
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: there were even that one he was open on that

480
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: play that they didn't complete to Cooper. But I don't know.

481
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: It's just very upsetting to see the outcome of this game,

482
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: even though you you mentioned, oh, it's against the Saints

483
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 1: and they when you look at them holding them down

484
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 1: to ten points, when you get beat by a team

485
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: that only scored field goals, that's ridiculous. Yeah, do you guys,

486
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: Do you guys think that that was coming into this game?

487
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: The strategy offensively was We're going to run the ball

488
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: because we want to take this team. We want to

489
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: take the crowd out of this game, and we feel

490
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: like we can match up well to be able to

491
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,959
Speaker 1: run it effective. I think they always feel like they

492
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: can run the ball. I think that that's just not

493
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: an ego thing, but they think this team is built

494
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 1: to They didn't do that. It didn't seem like they

495
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 1: did that early in the season. It seemed like they

496
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 1: came out way more great and when I say more aggressive,

497
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: I mean more aggressive from the standpoint that they were

498
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: passing more to set up opportunities to run. It seemed

499
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: like yesterday, they came out with the intent we're gonna

500
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 1: run to hopefully set up the pack. I think that

501
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: they try to take what's there. I mean, I really

502
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 1: believe that they you know, without Gallup, Uh, they don't.

503
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: I don't think that they have as much confident in

504
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 1: the passing game. And you know, we saw it with

505
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: Cobb on on a player before. I mean, I don't

506
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: know if Cobb and Dak are on the same page

507
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: as much. I mean, obviously they're not gonna be on

508
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: as much as as Beasley or whatever. But I still

509
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: think the Cobb situations a little you know, she said

510
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: earlier's just hit or miss, and that was the way

511
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: in camp too. Like he had some ten days a

512
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: camp where he dropped balls unexpectedly, just random balls. Yeah,

513
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: I mean he's not very smooth. He there are plays that, yes,

514
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: he'll be perfect, they connect perfectly, but there are some

515
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: that he he just doesn't react fast enough to where

516
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: it's completely in sync with Dak. You know, you've seen

517
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: like for example, and Maria Cooper, Michael Gallup, they seem

518
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: to be like on the same page for the most

519
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: start with for the most part with Dak, but with

520
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 1: Randall it's and I think I think too. I mean,

521
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: let's don't let's don't give Himara Cooper a pass too.

522
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 1: I mean, he's supposed to be that. He is one

523
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: of the best receivers in the NFL, and he's gonna

524
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: get paid that way. But I mean, I think Lattimore

525
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: beat him. You know, I think Lattimore got matched up

526
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: a lot and Lattimore outplayed him. And you know, he

527
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: kind of whipped Xavian Howard last week. Uh in you know,

528
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: we thought it was going to be very similar, but

529
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,479
Speaker 1: I thought Lattimore, you know, won that. If they if

530
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: they're doing the top ten players like we're doing, I

531
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: think Lattimore probably should be number one or two on

532
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: that list. He played a really good game. I just

533
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: and you know, I want to watch it again to red.

534
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: But man, I would I could have can. I would

535
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: have believed this was the game plan for the Dolphins

536
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: because like the added, like the the vibe that I

537
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: got from the Cowboys is like, we're gonna line up

538
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 1: and our eleven are better than you're eleven, and we're

539
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 1: just gonna bully you and do what we want against

540
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: the running defense that hasn't given up a hundred yard

541
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: rusheran like what thirty games and like no so and

542
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: like that'stically Like I was talking about that with Brian

543
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: this morning. Is like stats lie I said it last week.

544
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: I was like, they're twenty sixth in the league against

545
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: the run. It looks bad. I don't think you're gonna

546
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 1: have a lot of success just trying to plow the

547
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 1: ball on these guys. The teams that have had success

548
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: against them did a lot of misdirection, did a lot

549
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 1: of readoption. I said that at the end of the

550
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: game last night is what the Cowboys wanted to do,

551
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: Like where down the defense so that the four yard

552
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 1: gains start turning into eight and ten yard gains. The

553
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: Saints did it, But did you ever get the feeling

554
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 1: like they were just smashing into the line for no reason? No,

555
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: they were running screens all night. They you know, Taysom

556
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: Hill had that fantastic read option keeper. They were keeping

557
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: the Cowboys guessing and getting to the edge on them

558
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: and getting them off balance. Like where where was that

559
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 1: from the Cowboys? Like that was the difference? Where where

560
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: was that? Why did Dak do none of that? Why

561
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 1: did Tony Pollard cease to exist? Why were all of

562
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: Zeke's carries in the A and B gaps? Doesn't make

563
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: any sense to me, Like it looked like nineteen fifty five.

564
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: And I was thinking about this while y'all were talking.

565
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: What was Dak's best pass of the night, like easily

566
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 1: did what was that? It was up the middle of

567
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,959
Speaker 1: the scene. But it was a play action pass, wasn't it?

568
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: I mean? And they did do a few of those,

569
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: but like it just it did not feel like he

570
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,479
Speaker 1: did it fifteen times against the Giants, fifteen play action passes.

571
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: He completed fourteen of them again. I need to see

572
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: the game again. I struggled to believe. And they even

573
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: came close to approaching that un they're smashing the run

574
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: like that, then play actions what you have to do? Yea.

575
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: I wish we had this play on a highlight because

576
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if if they do. But I thought

577
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: the reverse to Tavon Austin, was it really been like

578
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: the one time they tried something like that it worked.

579
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: I mean it didn't go for forty yards, but he

580
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: got it didn't work, you don't think so? No, he

581
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: got seven yards six on a night when they averaged

582
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: two and a half I mean the average and giving

583
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 1: him too much credive second and five and it was

584
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: a reverse to Austin. He gets three yards and they

585
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: third two was the incomplete pass the cop And you know,

586
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Dak needs to play offensive line, but

587
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: but he did miss the block. He didn't get in

588
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: the way. He's like he should have if he can

589
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: get in the way, And I think Tavon goes around

590
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 1: the corner, and that could be a really big play.

591
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: It was just a small little thing in the game,

592
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 1: but he couldn't get his body around to get in

593
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: front of the defensive end. Tavon's probably gonna go ten

594
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: fifteen yards. It would have been a difference there. I

595
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: should have put that one in five places. But my

596
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 1: thing about that is really it goes back to as

597
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,199
Speaker 1: as far as a running game is concerned, there are

598
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: more creative ways to run the ball, and you don't

599
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: have They didn't have to just rely on Zeke just

600
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: running straightforward. They could have done some of those things

601
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: where Dak could have gotten the ball and run a

602
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: little bit more. In design runs, you could have gotten

603
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: Pollard involved a little bit more. You could have been

604
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: done a little bit more in your jet sweeps. You

605
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: got all these different weapons, why not use them in

606
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: order to be able to pick up yards in a

607
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: running game? And if nothing else, it forces a defensive

608
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: respect the fact that, yes, we're gonna run, but we're

609
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: not gonna run the way you think we're gonna run,

610
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: and that opens up more opportunities for you to be

611
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,719
Speaker 1: able to run laze because you're they don't They're an

612
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,719
Speaker 1: outlet guessing right. They don't know who's going to get

613
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: the ball at any given moment and where it's going

614
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: to come from. You know, ESPN does those next gen

615
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: stat charts and it's out there on Twitter, like you

616
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: can see every touch of Zeke's game and where he

617
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: went with the ball, and it's all it's just like

618
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: twenty five little squiggly lines in between the guards basically,

619
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: like it just looks gross watching some of them now.

620
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: And I don't know what, you know, I'm so confused

621
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: because you see the Cowboys doing so many things in

622
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: the first three games of the season, and then you

623
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: get to this opponent and you've it's like they were

624
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: intimidated in a way. They're like they backed down a

625
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: little bit from doing what they've been doing and just

626
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: trying to be more explosive, more dynamic, getting everyone involved. Yeah,

627
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: I understand that certain place that was more on the

628
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: fault of the play, you know, just missing it or

629
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: doing something wrong. But at the same time, it was

630
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: they just didn't seem aggressive enough. No. I agree with

631
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: that because I mean, why is it Devin Smith on

632
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: the team, Like he's on the team because he can run.

633
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: It's not because he's this great polished route runner or whatever.

634
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: He's on the team because he could be a track

635
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: guy and he can fly. They don't take advantage of that.

636
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: And if they're if they're stacking the run like this

637
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: and all the like Dave said, play action more and

638
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: utilize why Devin Smith is in the game. He's not

639
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: there to sit there and run passes over the middle,

640
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: like least throw it deep and be aggressive and back

641
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: them off. Yeah, and I thought that that was a miss.

642
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: They're not throwing the ball deep down the field. But

643
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: I will say that the fact of the matter is,

644
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: and I was talking to Brian about this, he was

645
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: able to go back and watch it, and he was

646
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: saying they were in Cover two a lot last night, which, again,

647
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: if you know Cover two. You know, the best way

648
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: to beat it is right up the seam. That's where

649
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: they had their big play. The fact that they didn't

650
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: go to that consistently again, whether they're going down filled

651
00:30:58,080 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: with with Devin or not. You know, maybe they just

652
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: side and cover two. That's not the best option, but

653
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: at least you could still get chunk plays up the same.

654
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: My point is they just weren't doing that at all.

655
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: It didn't seem like and maybe it was because they

656
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: called it. There were opportunities. Dak didn't see those guys open.

657
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: Dak didn't get the ball there. And that's why I

658
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: said at the beginning of the show, until I have

659
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: to until I can go back and watch it for myself,

660
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: I can't rely on the fact that Dak had the

661
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: right the best game either, Like you can't just say

662
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: I don't think we can just say that the receivers

663
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: weren't getting open. This could have been a situation where

664
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: they were getting open as much as they normally do

665
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: and just for whatever reason, the quarterback had a bad

666
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: game and the offensive line got beat. I mean, and

667
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: that's something we don't see a lot of. I'm not

668
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: you know, Travis Frederick really there was a couple times

669
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: where he was struggling, he was missing place. I don't

670
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: know what to think about Zach Barton right now. I

671
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: don't know if I mean, he's not practicing very much

672
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: because of a back injury. There's no way it magically

673
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: feels better on Sunday. I think that there's an issue there.

674
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: And then to make it worse, we haven't really talked

675
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:59,479
Speaker 1: about I don't talk about it. Well. I mean you

676
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: know that that that was probably the worst play in

677
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: the game in so many levels that like the Arizona

678
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: game years and years ago, right, And it's so weird

679
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: that you think you say that, no, because as soon

680
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: as they got that sack, and I'm like, wow, this

681
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: is now they do it is go get a field goal.

682
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: I even thought about that Arizona game in two thousand

683
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: and eight, like, maybe this is not as good. Maybe

684
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: they should have just kicked it to go up five.

685
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: Then you get the twenty five yard line, you gotta

686
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: go score touchdown. But as it turns out, the sack

687
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: was a terrible decision by Dad. Gotta let it go.

688
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: Then it gets thrown into Tyron Smith. Well he's out

689
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: what probably three or four games, I mean, maybe we'll

690
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: see Tyron is the warrior of warriors. But didn't look good,

691
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: not just in the he got to walk one hundred

692
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: and fifty yards to the bus. That's awesome. Thanks, no

693
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: golf carts available there, Like it's and intends not just

694
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,719
Speaker 1: he got he got carted off the sideline, tried to

695
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: walk off the field and like fell to his knee

696
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: after about ten feet and like it's not good, which

697
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: costs them ten seconds? It did, and seconds would have

698
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: been big think about. Yeah, but if you've got you know,

699
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: what was the final play? What was the four seconds

700
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: on that final Yeah, it was two seconds left, I

701
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: think two seconds when he spiked it. Three, it's just three.

702
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: If I could if I could go for the guy

703
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: running the clock, he's pretty fast, so you get quick.

704
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm sure that if I could go, if

705
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: I could go back in time, and it's like all

706
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:22,719
Speaker 1: of this is gonna play out, Tyron's gonna get hurt,

707
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: You're gonna get to midfield. You can spike it. You

708
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: have like a fifty percent chance to win this game

709
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: thirteen to twelve, or you can just kneel it and

710
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: lose and have a one hundred percent chance of losing.

711
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: But Tyron Smith is still healthy. I'd take that and

712
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 1: be like, give me Tyron Smith. And that's why we're

713
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,719
Speaker 1: talking about the O eight game against the Cardinals. They

714
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: make a fifty three yard field goal to force overtime,

715
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: and you're like, wow, they came back. Now it's in overtime.

716
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: And then in overtime they only play. Then ran three plays.

717
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: Romo breaks his hand on one of them. Then they

718
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: pumped the ball and it's blocked for a touchdown, and

719
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: the punter breaks his foot and he's out. He's an

720
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: All Pro punter. So you lost your quarterback for three

721
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: games and your punter. You would have just missed the

722
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: field goal. We lose the game. We lost anyway, so

723
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: help me on this. I will say that the thirteen

724
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: ten Saints win that we gush so much about Cam

725
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: Fleming started at left tackle, So like, I mean, he's

726
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: not He's not a horrible tackle. And trust me, we've

727
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: seen horrible tackles. He's not Tyron Smith. No, but he's

728
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: not a horrible tackle. You can figure out ways to

729
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: make this work. But I did have you must you

730
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 1: started doing the combination of Okay, now, Tyron, now you

731
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: got Sack Martin dealing with something, Travis Frederick who didn't

732
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: necessarily have the best game, So all your Pro Bowl

733
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 1: guys kind of having to deal with something. It will

734
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: be night before you get to that point. I will

735
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: say this, and I understand that you know you played

736
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: a team without Hall of Fame quarterback, so you know

737
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: you could have won that game. But injuries are are

738
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: testing the depth of this team. I mean, without Tyrone Crawford,

739
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: without Antoine Woods, I think Antoine Woods in the middle

740
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 1: there that that's a that's a loss. And then of

741
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 1: course Gallop too. You're starting to see and we'll find

742
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: out when Cam Fleming comes in there too, like they're

743
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: getting they don't have great depth in some of these

744
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: areas too, and it's starting to be tested. Question I

745
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 1: have for you guys, the play that that Witten ended

746
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: up fumbling, that was up the same correct or. Was

747
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: it like an end route? I don't remember what the

748
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: route was. I just know we ended up in the

749
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: middle of the field. I don't know where the route.

750
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,240
Speaker 1: I think they already ran it they I mean it

751
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 1: it was like an in It was an incut, Yeah,

752
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: it was. It was one of those plays. Where I

753
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: was like for the fumble, I was like, man, old

754
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: man still making I mean, it was a nice play

755
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: where it was like just kidding, well, you know, and

756
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: then he fumbles. I mean the only reason I'm saying

757
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: that is because you look at that play, you look

758
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 1: at the jar one play, you even look at the

759
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: play that was the second to last play to Cob

760
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: where they got its position, all of that in the

761
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: middle of the field. It just screams the fact that

762
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: the Cowboys missed opportunities but not taking advantage of I

763
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 1: take the Cob play kind of out of it because

764
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: you know, the Saints are guarding the sideline, so that

765
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: that's going to be absolutely absolutely But I guess the

766
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: point I'm making no is I do think especially if

767
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: they were in cover too and I have to go

768
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: back and watch this, but again talking to Brian, he

769
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: says they were in covered too quite a bit last night,

770
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,280
Speaker 1: and it just seems to me that is a natural

771
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: opportunity for you to be able to hit the seams

772
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: and to try to take advantage of the middle of

773
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 1: the field, and it just doesn't seem like they were

774
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: doing it, and they did see them their most success

775
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: it seemed like happened in the middle of the field.

776
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: Sportswriter's curses that, Like I watched the Saints Seahawks game

777
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: and I was like, A J. Klein's not a very

778
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: good linebacker, Like that's a favorable matchup for the Cowboys,

779
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: and like that might be the play of the game.

780
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: Balls at midfield with seven to play, you can run

781
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: whatever offense you want, go tie the game or maybe

782
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: take a lead going in a halftime. And he just

783
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: popped it out against the goat, and it's just you know,

784
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,399
Speaker 1: it's not your night of Jason Witten's fumbling at midfield. Yeah,

785
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna take our final break when we come back.

786
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: Let's talk a little defense. We gotta get some props

831
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: Cowboys Hour. I believe that's a six pm, six or seven,

832
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: so I think it's six six six, six six o'clock. Yes,

833
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: six pm. All right, let's jump back into this thing. Um.

834
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: Let's talk about this defense. They held New Orleans to

835
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: no offensive touchdowns. There are only four field goals allowed.

836
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:37,280
Speaker 1: They had five sacks, one interception. Uh. They own allowed

837
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty nine passing yards. Although Kamara seemed

838
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: like he had a really I think it seemed like

839
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: he had a bunch better game than he did. When

840
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: I saw the statue, I was actually surprised he had

841
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,399
Speaker 1: as few yards as he did. Seventeen carries for sixty

842
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: nine yards. Again, not a bad day, but I thought

843
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: he actually it seemed like he had way more production

844
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: than that. Also had three catches for twenty yards. I

845
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: guess when you look at this overall, what were the

846
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 1: positives that you can take from a performance like this,

847
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: because obviously the defense played pretty well. Just as a team,

848
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: thinking about how well the defense played, we've been waiting

849
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 1: to see this defense. What positives do you take well

850
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: to five sacks and an interception? Though the two things

851
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,919
Speaker 1: that you know you wanted them to do. To become

852
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: an elite defense, you had to have more pressure, more sacks,

853
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 1: get the turnovers, keep him out of the end zone.

854
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: They did all those things. They did enough things where

855
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 1: they should they should have won the game. And if

856
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have five of those play, if they had

857
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: two of those five that they score and they're you know,

858
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: made a field goal and a touchdown, then you know

859
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 1: they win that game twenty to twelve or something like that.

860
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,320
Speaker 1: That's where it should have been. But they did everything

861
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: they could to win. Robert Quinn and Jayal and Smith

862
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: did a great job after the game of saying, you know,

863
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 1: this is a team effort. We're not pointing fingers. There's

864
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 1: more we could have done. And good on them. It's

865
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 1: week four, they're three and one. There's no reason to

866
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 1: throw people under the bus. But they did do enough

867
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: to win. They didn't need to do more. I mean,

868
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 1: five sacks, got to take away no touchdowns. That is

869
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: a winning effort in the NFL. I'm sorry, and I

870
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: mean sure, theoretically they could have done more. They could

871
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: have scored a defensive touchdown, whatever, but like they you

872
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: cannot put that on them. And he I mean Kimara.

873
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: He started to have more success in the first in

874
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 1: the second half, you saw him. They didn't have a

875
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: bad game tackling, but he you know, it's that's why

876
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett is so insistent on running the ball, because

877
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:25,240
Speaker 1: it gets easier as a defense gets more tired. Even still,

878
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: he had eighty nine yards of offense. They held him

879
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: to half of his production against Seattle. Mike Thomas had

880
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 1: ninety five yards. Most of it was pretty quiet by

881
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: NFL standards. Like I said that last week, He's like,

882
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: if he has ninety yards but you keep Kimara in

883
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: check and they're not going crazy, then you did your job.

884
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 1: I don't know really what you could criticize them for.

885
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,280
Speaker 1: Can you talk to me a little bit about DeMarcus

886
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: Lawrence and how much he was out of the game

887
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:51,919
Speaker 1: last night. I know we were watching quite a bit

888
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 1: in just different situation where he wasn't out there, and

889
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 1: it was in moments where you would think, hey, this

890
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: is your best player, at least from a stampoint. How

891
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: much money you paid him, Why is he not on

892
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 1: the field? What do we know about that? You know,

893
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:07,399
Speaker 1: I asked Jason after the game, and he didn't really

894
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 1: give me a good answer at all. He looked kind

895
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 1: of pissed about it actually, because I asked him he

896
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,959
Speaker 1: wasn't playing in the fourth quarter on a key drive,

897
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 1: the biggest drive of the game, and he wasn't playing,

898
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: and then he kind of got in there late and

899
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,280
Speaker 1: then he got hurt. So I said, was he playing?

900
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,840
Speaker 1: Was he hurt throughout the game? Was he rotating? He's like,

901
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna be fun. Okay, Well, that we didn't answer

902
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: the question at all. It needs to be asked again.

903
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, like you said, and you were like, well,

904
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 1: maybe he's not one of the best players, and I'm

905
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: like no, I mean that was You're like, the best

906
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: players gotta play. Well, maybe they don't feel like he is.

907
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: And I'm like, obviously they do. But but it wasn't

908
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: just him. There were other guys too on the Differenceive, yeah,

909
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: but nobody was missing the amount that he was. I mean,

910
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,240
Speaker 1: Jalen there. They've made it clear in these last couple

911
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: games that Jalen they'll sit him down for a series

912
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 1: or two. I mean it's almost like the running backs

913
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 1: that he'll have a series where he's out of the

914
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 1: game and no have somebody else in there, or there'll

915
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: be times no, just put somebody else in. I don't

916
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 1: know if they're trying to keep him fresh or what,

917
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: but they they're doing that with Jalen, But last night

918
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 1: it was to Marcus apparently say it was it was

919
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: even more than that with DeMarcus last night it seemed like, hey,

920
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: more than anybody else was out of the game. And

921
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 1: situations where you would think your best players should be

922
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 1: in the game. Five minutes to go, you're you're down

923
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: twelve to ten, your field position game, you need a

924
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 1: field goal, and you know they paid him twenty one

925
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,800
Speaker 1: million dollars a year to go and make for moments

926
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 1: like that, and so either either just say he's hurt,

927
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 1: he's banged up, or what I mean, but don't play

928
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 1: Joe Jackson over him, and then just trying to say,

929
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 1: well we're rotating, that's that's false. You don't do that

930
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: because you don't need a twenty one million dollar guy

931
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:42,800
Speaker 1: to do that. Because if that's the case, then and

932
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:44,800
Speaker 1: also say well, at that point of game, we should

933
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 1: put Pollard in. They don't do that, do they. Zeke's

934
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 1: out there, and Zeke's gonna be out there. There was

935
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: this is your guy, get him out. There was a

936
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,760
Speaker 1: pretty clear pattern at like it was like Carrie Hider

937
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,399
Speaker 1: was the first and second down and the DeMarcus would

938
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: come in on third. And I'm like, I know Rod

939
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 1: likes to rotate his guys, but this is crazy, Like

940
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 1: unless I mean, unless he's hurt, it's weird. And I

941
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 1: don't know what else to say. And I still I

942
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,360
Speaker 1: take issue with the people that say he's not playing

943
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: well when he is out there, because I again I

944
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 1: think they're that's hidden stats, Like you could see him

945
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:16,800
Speaker 1: occupying double teams, blowing up the left side of the

946
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 1: or the right side of the Saints line. He did

947
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 1: it a few times, and I would argue, if you

948
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: don't think he's part of what's leading to Robert Quinn's success,

949
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:28,839
Speaker 1: I think you're crazy. Still, what was that like, if

950
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: he's healthy, he needs to be out there more often. Yeah,

951
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: And I kept I kept looking at the sideline to

952
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 1: see if, like if they took his helmet away or

953
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: if he looked up said and I didn't really notice

954
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 1: anything out of the ordinary, and it's it's just confusing.

955
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 1: And for that matter, I think it's weird with Jalen

956
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: t I mean, it's it's almost like they pay him

957
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: an in They're like, let's take care of them, right,

958
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 1: Let's let's protect them once you pay him. And I'm like,

959
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:56,959
Speaker 1: that's the point when you let's go like they're paying guys,

960
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: let's get him out there. And this is this always

961
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 1: creates weird situations like this happens. There's way there's always

962
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 1: more to the story than we know. Like there's so

963
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: many interesting things that go on that never make it

964
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: to the public, not even to like insiders like us,

965
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: but they keep those things a secret, and it leads

966
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 1: to all this speculation and it's like, well, what's wrong

967
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 1: with DeMarcus? Does he suck now? Like is he hurt?

968
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: Is he dying? Like what's going on? And like, I

969
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:28,359
Speaker 1: know I'm exaggerating for to prove the point, but like

970
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:32,760
Speaker 1: it creates this firestorm and maybe you'd be better served

971
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 1: by just telling the truth. Like it's kind of like

972
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley, nobody still knows why he wasn't played the

973
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 1: end of that last year, but they just basically what

974
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 1: didn't have him out there? And I feel like it's

975
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: kind of a similar thing going with saying maybe you'd

976
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 1: be better served by saying this is why we're doing it,

977
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 1: and we think it's a good idea because of this,

978
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 1: and we'll go from here, and instead they don't, and

979
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 1: there's this firestorm about like what's wrong with Jay Lenner,

980
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:58,879
Speaker 1: what's wrong with DeMarcus? And I don't have a great

981
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 1: answer for you, but everything we know about DeMarcus and

982
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: how fiery is and how much he seems to love

983
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: to play the game, it suggests to me that there's

984
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 1: a reason why he's not out there, like he is

985
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 1: not the kind of guy that has traditionally in his

986
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:13,320
Speaker 1: career been a guy that's out of place, like towards

987
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 1: the end of DeMarcus DeMarcus Ware's career here he was

988
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 1: out of game significant amount of time, like he would

989
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:22,760
Speaker 1: be on the sideline during plays that were pivotal plays

990
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 1: in the game. That has not been what Tank has

991
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:27,439
Speaker 1: been to this point, and so it makes me think

992
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: that something has changed, whether it's it's either that the

993
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 1: team has decided they want to, you know, kind of

994
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 1: rotate him more, or there's something going on with him

995
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,839
Speaker 1: and we have to figure out which one. I mean,

996
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 1: maybe this goes back to the part that he didn't

997
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: have a preseason and again, you know, coming off surgery, right,

998
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: and you know not to make excuses for the guy,

999
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: but like you know, maybe they're trying to work these

1000
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:52,760
Speaker 1: other guys in who have had more of an offseason

1001
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 1: in better condition and blah blah blah blah blah. But

1002
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 1: again none of them as good as him, No, of

1003
00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:59,879
Speaker 1: course not. But we're we're just spitballing here. And again

1004
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 1: it creates all these crazy side stories and it's definitely weird.

1005
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:08,399
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no way his snap count. I mean,

1006
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 1: he usually plays up near seventy percent, and I just

1007
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 1: I don't buy that his snap count was anywhere near

1008
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 1: that last night in a game you needed him, you

1009
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 1: really needed him, all right, Just real quick, before we

1010
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 1: in the show, I did want to We talked a

1011
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:21,400
Speaker 1: little bit about Tyren Smith, but give me a rundown

1012
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: on the injuries Tyran, Xavier Woods, Cavan Frasier. Do we

1013
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 1: know anything at this point about those three guys who

1014
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 1: all left the game at some point for it, dude,

1015
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:36,360
Speaker 1: injuries not anything concrete. It's a significant ankle sprain situation

1016
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,839
Speaker 1: for Tyron, which again I mean, he's like they'd say,

1017
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:43,720
Speaker 1: the dreaded high Jared Jerry Jones said it's high ankle.

1018
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 1: He didn't say sprain, like you know, it's high ankle. Yeah,

1019
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:49,839
Speaker 1: high ankle. So I mean Tyron's like the toughest dude

1020
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: I know. So I know you never want to put

1021
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 1: a definitive timetable on that, but he was moving pretty bad.

1022
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 1: Doesn't seem like something that he's gonna be able to

1023
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: play with. On Sunday, Michael Gallup is on the chords,

1024
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:04,879
Speaker 1: which means you know it's getting close to coming back.

1025
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 1: I still don't think he'll play this week, but we

1026
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 1: haven't I've been told that at all. I just feel like,

1027
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:15,759
Speaker 1: probably not. Antoine Woods. I don't know about that one.

1028
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:17,919
Speaker 1: I don't know if he if he's ready to come back.

1029
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: I know they need him for sure. And then for

1030
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 1: Cavon Frasier, pectoral injury out so significant, I mean just

1031
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 1: quickly ruled out in the game. I think that usually

1032
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 1: is a significant injury for it. I mean, maybe even

1033
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 1: I are I hate to throw that out there, but

1034
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 1: it could be. Let's see its Most teams do their

1035
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 1: Monday wrap up press conferences earlier in the day, whereas

1036
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: we're later, so four or five pm. You cool with that, though,

1037
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: You like the night press conference. I love I love

1038
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 1: the night press conference, especially coming after a night road game.

1039
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 1: It's my favorite. Yeah, just sit around and wait, Sit around,

1040
