WEBVTT - Cowboys Break: What Went Wrong? 0:00:05.120 --> 0:00:07.640 The following. He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:07.680 --> 0:00:19.840 and the Dallas Cowboys Football clubs. Are you ready for 0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:23.560 a break? Yes? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely? 0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:27.880 Ready for a break? Yeah, And so much for that. 0:00:28.080 --> 0:00:33.240 It's time for the Break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:39.559 with Nick Eatman, David Hellman, and bar Garcia and Derek Eagldon. 0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:44.440 Welcome back, guys. You probably don't know why we're laughing, 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:51.440 but Dave just has his stats sheets just a complete mess. Travel. 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:54.680 The travel was The travel was a mess. It was 0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:57.920 from just as messy as the game, just as messy 0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:01.600 as the game. The Cowboys lose to well ten against 0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:07.920 the Saints, and that was not necessarily what we expected 0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:10.760 the game to be. I mean, we were talking a 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:14.560 lot about scoring more points than that, but the Cowboys 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:17.120 failed to move the ball. There were a lot of 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:20.119 things that didn't seem quite like the offense that we've 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:24.319 been seeing so far. Let's just start off with their performance. 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:29.120 Dak Prescott, what he wasn't able to get done. You 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:32.480 know during the game, you know what I thought that. 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:35.680 You know, you're right, we didn't expect that. I don't 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:37.520 know why we didn't. I mean last year it was 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:39.720 kind of that kind of game, but we just thought, well, 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:41.800 that was kind of different, and it would it would 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:43.960 open up, and you know, I just kind of felt 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:48.160 like the offense just thought that, well, now I missed 0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:51.040 that one to Randall Cobble, or we'll come back, you know, 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:54.800 fumble there. No, that was unfortunate. Before you know it, 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:56.600 you're in the middle of the third quarter and almost 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:58.600 fourth quarter, you're like, they don't have any points, Like 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:01.200 it's like that at some point they're gonna get into 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:04.440 into gear and they never did. And it's unfortunate. I 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.680 thought the Cowboys were a better football team. I mean, 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:09.400 I thought they were better than that. I still think 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:11.800 they're better than the Saints. But that's what's embarrassing about 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:14.880 it is losing a game like that. Yeah, I'm I'm 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:18.960 I'm aggravated with myself just because I felt like I 0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:21.320 was halfway there, Like a lot of it I did 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:24.399 expect to see. Like what we saw on the defensive 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:28.240 side of the ball against the Saints was exactly what 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:30.280 I expected to see. Like a lot of Ben don't 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:33.360 break Kamara and Mike Thomas, they got their yards, they 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:35.880 didn't break the game wide open. Forced the Saints to 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:39.079 settle for a lot of field goals that played out 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:42.800 according to script perfectly, and then I just you know, 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:45.840 I didn't think it would be the most amazing offensive 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.440 performance of the season, but it was. I mean, it 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:52.639 was basically a no show. They just they looked rough. 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.880 They looked like the first four games of last season. 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:58.880 Like go throw on the Panthers tape from the season 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:01.400 opening last year, and that's what it reminded me of. 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:04.680 Like Zeke couldn't get any running room, That's what. But 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:08.000 my biggest expectations were to see Zeke running the ball, 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:12.200 and he only got thirty five yards. Again, I'll sound 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:14.560 like a douche. I'm sorry, Like I didn't. I didn't 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:16.679 expect to see that. I said it on the show 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:18.320 last week. I was like, I don't think you're going 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:20.440 to have a lot of success charging Zeke up the 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.040 middle against this defense. I know the stats don't look 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:25.280 good on the Saints part, but I think they're up 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:28.360 to stopping that. And the Cowboys disagreed with me, because 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:30.239 that's all they wanted to do all night long, was 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:33.600 just charge him into a loaded front. Well, when you 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.720 have Michael galloping there and then Mark battling with the 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:40.200 ankle thing. The run game didn't work. The Cowboys receivers 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:43.200 couldn't get open for whatever, for whatever reason you want 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.119 to pinpoint, when you're tight ends or your leading receivers, 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:47.960 it's never it's not going to be a good thing 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:51.680 unless you have like you know, Jason Kelsey, Travis Kelsey, 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:53.760 excuse me, if you have him, then he can be 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.760 your leading receiver. Jason Witten and Blake Jarwin. If they're 0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:58.560 your leading receivers, it's not gonna be a good night. 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:02.920 And the offense just was bad the receivers. And I 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.560 said it last week and Derek Um we just we 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:09.320 just got started here talking about how bad it was offensively. Yeah, 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:13.120 pretty bad. I think from a receiver standpoint. I said 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:16.280 it two weeks ago. Well, we'll see, is Gallup you 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:18.680 know that good? Is he making that much you know improvement? 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:21.239 Or is this offense is so good that the second 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:24.159 guy is gonna get in there? And I was wrong 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.960 about that. I mean they're missing Gallup, they're missing another 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:30.159 playmaker because Devin Smith can't really get open. Randall Cobb 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:33.880 is him or miss with him. It's just like it 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:38.200 works sometimes. But then another times it's just it doesn't happen. Yeah, 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:41.560 I thought he had you know, he didn't play. Is 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:44.360 great that they missed on two big plays Cobb and Dak. 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:46.880 One of them was on Dak, other one I think 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:49.320 was really more on Cobbin in the fourth quarter. But 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:51.640 either way, the receivers aren't getting open, you gotta put 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:53.920 Cooper in there as well. Are we allowing for the 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.880 fact that maybe the quarterback didn't have his best game 0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.520 and so if if it's a part of saying that 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:02.600 weren't getting open, could it have been a situation where 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:04.799 they were open more often than they got the ball 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:07.400 and the quarterback just didn't get them the ball as affect, 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:10.040 there are there plays going around like social media and 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.039 stuff like that. I haven't seen that. The thing is, 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:13.719 is there some places where it's like, oh he missed 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:17.040 that one. Well, I mean it's the cop throw is 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:20.200 a classic example one no, no, no, the fourth quarter. 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:22.720 I mean, yeah, cops should have caught that ball. It 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.279 wasn't well placed passed. It can be both, like everybody 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:27.360 wants to pick out both. But I think he put 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:29.160 the ball where he needed to on that place. He 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.360 actually don't I don't put that as much on dec 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:33.320 because I think if you look at it, Lottimore. I 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.440 think it was a Lottimore that was coming straight for him, 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:37.520 And if he'd have thrown that ball in front of him, 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:39.800 the cop would have might not have gotten up. I 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:42.080 mean he was he was answering. So sometimes the quarterback 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.040 has to protect him from what's around them. And I 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:45.720 think that was a situation where he threw it behind 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:47.560 him so that he wouldn't run him right into that 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:49.880 think to sound like Garrett, but on that play right there, 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.640 and and it happens every time these guys are going 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:54.719 over the middle receivers. Yeah, they want to be like 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.479 Jerry Rice and just be right there catch it on 0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:00.720 the move. But line one is catch the football. So 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:02.719 he has to stop and say, all right, that's not 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:04.599 where I wanted to be, but I've got to catch 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:06.440 it and then turn up the field and see and 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:08.400 he kind of tried to do it all they're showing 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:10.719 the play right there, and you could see you could 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:12.200 see he was I mean, he had a beat on 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:14.400 him and he was coming for him. And without that, 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:17.920 without him he showed and you couldn't see. You need 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:22.320 another I am a firm believer that at the NFL level, 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.479 if the ball hits both of your hands, it should 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.520 be a catch. Me too, But thank you, he had 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:30.680 to turn awkwardly, like, even with what you're saying about, 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:32.800 Latimore could have been a better place ball and Dak 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:35.719 had a few of those. And the crappy thing about 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.360 this is like, you know when they play the Dolphins 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:41.440 at noon and we're done with work at seven, and 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:43.960 you can go home and watch the broadcast again or 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:47.480 go find stuff on. So I've barely seen anything over again. 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.160 Like we got on a plane. I collapsed into bed 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:51.840 at two forty five in the morning, I got up 0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:53.479 to come to work at eight forty five, and I 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.279 can't wait to see the all twenty two. I haven't. 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:59.400 I almost it's almost irresponsible for me to try to, 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:01.480 like to do a deep dive on what I saw 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:03.360 because I need to see it again. If I see 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.680 any pass interference, I don't know, Kyle, I don't know 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:07.800 if we have that back there, but if we do, yeah, 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:10.000 let me know because I have you know, the offensive 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.280 pass interference? Is that what you ask I haven't seen 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:14.600 those two with Cooper. I saw the first one because 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:16.720 we were in the press box and you know, broke 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:18.240 my neck to look up and see it. And I 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:20.560 didn't think that was a really good call. But the 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:22.160 one on the field, I don't know. I haven't well. 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.440 Cooper did say after the game he was being very 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:27.000 careful with his words, but he said the first one, 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.840 he said, hey, I can understand where they would make 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.240 that call. Um the second one he said, he really 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.080 didn't understand it at all. And I don't know if 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:35.480 this is the first one or the second one that 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:38.560 was on the fourth quarter of the fourth quarter, it's just, 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:42.360 you know, yeah, Cooper's calling for the flag, like yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:46.360 flag him. Okay, how was that not on the defense? 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:49.320 Like they were hand fighting? There were some really bad calls. 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:53.960 Expert showmanship by Lattimore is what that is. But the 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:56.720 problem is Lattimore was already grabbing him. So that's where 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.560 I'm like, at the war, I mean, best cases, there's 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:01.720 a no hauled there because they were both hand fighting. 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:04.000 And that's where, you know, it seems like this year, 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.440 at least, it seems like there's more this emphasis on 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.680 calling these offensive pass in affearences where there is a 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:11.720 time when you wouldn't get that hardly at all. And 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.240 again I'm not trying to say that the offense should 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:16.160 have an unfair advantage, but I think when they're both 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:18.600 hand fighting at the best case show, you don't you 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.240 just don't call at all. I thought the officials were 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:24.360 absolutely terrible. I think I can say that right. I 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:27.600 mean to say they were terrible. They were terrible for 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.120 both whoever lost that game. If the Cowboys get in 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:33.000 position getting another five ten yards kick a field goal, 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:35.880 the Saints are sitting here going that was terrible because 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:39.199 they got bad calls too. I mean, just be consistent, 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:41.839 Just be consistent. I mean, if you're gonna call a 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:46.400 tikie tack these quarterbacks slide the last second and Dak 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:48.840 barely gets hit and you're gonna give them fifteen yards, 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:51.599 then give Bridgewater fifteen yards. When Jalen Smith does it 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:55.240 even worse than that, that's just terrible. I mean, like 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:59.200 the inconsistency of that and the fumble no fumble, the 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:04.920 OPI which I hate. I really hate complaining about the 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:08.320 refs because they it ain't change. Well, not only that, 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:10.800 it ain't gonna change, and I really do believe like 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:14.240 it evens out over time, like it's it, but they 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:18.160 called that game really terribly, like they were inconsistent, they 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:20.160 ruined the flow of the game, like it felt like 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:22.560 there were stretches where there was a flag every other 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:26.439 play for six seven minutes at a time, and they 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:29.040 just sucked. They were bad. They were bad. And tomorrow 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:31.199 maybe we can talk about some things. I mean, I've 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:34.680 I've got some some opinions on the refs and we 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:36.120 can talk about some of these things. I don't know 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:37.880 if we want to bog down the show today with it, 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:41.080 but there are some things that I really think they've 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.800 got to figure out this past interference thing, and and 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:47.280 we'll talk about tomorrow. I just feel like you've got 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:49.760 to be able to challenge everything. If you can challenge 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:51.680 it all, you should be able to challenge throughout the game. 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:55.120 I mean, especially in the like that, Like I guess 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:57.000 that Garrett didn't have a time out, but you've got 0:09:57.000 --> 0:09:59.240 to be able to challenge that. And I just think 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.079 they've got to figure this out because it's a judgment 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:06.040 called this isn't out of bounds, this is maybe it is, 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:08.439 maybe it isn't, And those guys upstairs aren't going to 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:10.079 sell out their guys down there and be like, yeah, 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:14.040 I'm gonna call it unless it's a crazy spearing Saints 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:16.240 Rams play. But that play we just saw, I have 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:18.720 a hard time thing even if they could have reviewed that, 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:21.240 I have a hard time thinking they reverse it because 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.000 they still look at it and say, well, it still 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:26.920 looks like Cooper pushed out and it still looked like 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:30.000 the defensive back gut pushed back. So regardless of what 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:32.760 really happened, regardless of all the hand fighting before, I 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:34.720 don't think they're going to overturn that, even if you 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:36.319 could review it. So I don't know if that necessarily 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:40.280 even solves your problem. But I don't want to get 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:42.440 off the rails because we can actually talk about the game. 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:44.640 But like the stuff that happened in the Green Bay 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:48.800 Philly game on Thursday night just convinced me concrete in 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:52.480 my mind. They put that rule in to bail themselves 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.160 out of another Saints Ram situation, like if a horrible 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:58.079 only if a horrible call is going to dictate who 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:00.440 goes to the super Bowl. They gave themselves and out 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:02.680 and they're not going to use it anywhere else, Like 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:04.520 they're they're just not going to Like I think it 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:07.040 was you know it was past interference on Avante Maddox. 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:09.680 I think it was Valdez scantling one of those Green 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:13.280 Bay receivers. Like it was the most obvious past interference 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:15.760 I've ever seen, and they didn't reverse it because they 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:18.600 don't want to open that Pandora's box. I like, they're 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:21.160 just not going to do it unless it is something 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:24.040 and absurd like we saw in that NFC Championship. You 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:27.679 don't think that fumble with Zeke, I mean, I guess 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:30.600 I don't understand the rules of what what is coming 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:33.480 out the balls coming out or the balls out because 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:36.319 the ball was sort of coming out when he was 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:39.280 when his elbow was down. I always understood it as 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:42.520 the player is losing control of the ball. I don't 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:44.199 think he was losing control of the ball at the 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.600 time his elbow was down. I thought he still had 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:48.920 the ball. Now, whether it was moving or not is 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.840 irrelevant if he still control the ball. And and so 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.400 in my opinion, and that's what I understand. I don't again, 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:57.160 when you start talking rules in the NFL, it gets 0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:59.920 so detailed out. I just honestly don't know it did. 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:02.880 It didn't look like a fumble when I saw it, 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:05.840 and again, like it's so funny, Like if you're listening 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:08.079 at home, you have a much better view of what 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:11.280 was going on. We're two miles up in the press box. 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:14.920 The jumbotrons are one hundred and fifty feet away in 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:17.120 each direction, so you have a view, but it's nowhere 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:19.200 near as good as you do watching on a fifty 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:22.640 inch TV. The ball he had the defenderant put his 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:25.240 hand on the ball, but it wasn't out, it wasn't coming, 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:28.800 like he hadn't caused the he hadn't called Zeke to 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:30.640 lose control of the ball at the point that the 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:33.440 elbow is the amount of seconds that you have to 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:37.880 have like hold the ball after your elbow is down, 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:41.160 or just like your elbow is down, the play is over. 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.120 Once the elbows down, the play's over. It's that word. 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:47.400 It's the word stands. The you know, the call stands 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:49.920 as opposed to the call is confirmed. And then and 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:52.400 this is and did they say stands? And this is 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:54.680 the issue. I'll just say it now because we're talking 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:57.240 about this. The problem that I have is the officials. 0:12:57.240 --> 0:12:59.320 I don't know if anyone saw the Detroit Kansas City 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:02.480 game where there was a fumble, and now the officials 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:05.400 are they don't want to blow the play dead, so 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:07.160 they're like, well, if we blow it dead, then we 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:09.360 might kill one hundred yard touchdown return. So they just 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:12.280 kind of let everything stand and see what happens and 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:15.160 all that. I get that that's fine, but then don't 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:17.720 come back in a replay and say, well, what was 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:19.760 the call on the field? The call in the field 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:21.480 was a fumble. No, the call in the field was 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:23.760 a funbel because you're saving your ass, so that's not 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.160 really the call. You just did that, so you didn't 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:28.200 so you have a backup plan. Why don't you just 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:30.840 open it up, be you know, objective about it and 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:32.720 go was it a fumble or not? I mean, they 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:35.680 should really have a guylin that Tony Romo Corona commercial 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:38.640 just sitting out there and just not even watching the 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:42.199 game and say hey, oh wake up, okay a college 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:44.160 rule like in how they're doing college Like there's a 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:46.199 person that's sitting in the boot that should be just 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:48.839 watches the game and says, oh, I don't know about that. 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:50.959 Let's do something different here, And I think that might 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:53.199 be the right way to do. Undertake the challenges out 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:57.600 who killed Lees. College's system is way way way better. 0:13:57.600 --> 0:13:59.160 It doesn't slow it down in the game to me, 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:02.880 and college games go on longer than But I love football, 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:06.400 so I don't care. Just don't really care conspiracy theory 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:08.280 as long as we're whining about stuff that's not the 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:11.200 actual game, Like the NFL cares more about games going 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.720 quickly than whether they're right. Like that's what they care about. 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:17.360 It true. That's so anyway, they did actually play a 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:20.600 football game, they didn't win it. They looked pretty bad. 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:23.080 I'm telling you, I don't think we're sitting here whining 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:26.040 about what The Cowboys didn't lose the game because officials. 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:28.640 I just thought the officials were absolutely terrible. They lost 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:32.760 the game because they just they just kept making mistakes 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:34.600 and thinking that it was going to get better, and 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:37.160 before you know it, it's the fourth quarter and you've 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:38.760 only scored ten points. All right, So I got a 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:41.160 bigger picture perspective question, and I'm gonna take We're gonna 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:42.560 take a break, but when we come back, I want 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:45.480 you guys to tell me, is this really no different 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:48.560 than what happened last year with Cowboys versus Saints From 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:51.840 the standpoint of the nature of a close game, the 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:55.040 difference being the home team ends up edging out because 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:57.040 a lot of things look very similar to me. Let's 0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:58.440 talk about that when we come back. This is Dallas 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:01.480 Cowboys dot Com Radio.

That's why 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.800 the Cowboys rely on more than just stats and scouting 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:13.520 reports when building their team.

It is a second segment of 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:05.160 The Break live s WBC Mortgage Studios at the Star. 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:07.600 We're talking about the Cowboys loss last night, the first 0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:10.400 loss of the season. They now finished the first quarter 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:13.840 of the season three and one. But just before the break, 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:16.640 I wanted to ask the question, how much how much 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:19.480 of this is similar to what we saw last year? 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:22.080 Last year when the Cowboys played the Saints, it was 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:25.720 a defensive struggle. Both teams defenses played really well, both 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:28.879 teams offenses didn't really get much going. Seemed to be 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:32.199 the exact same thing this year. From that standpoint. The 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:35.240 only difference is in both instances, the home team ended 0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:37.200 up being able to have just a little bit more 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:39.040 than the road team. How many how much of a 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:41.800 of a parallel do you see between those? I mean, 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:44.320 it's just on the surface, it's eerie. I mean it 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:47.119 was one point off of the same score home team one. 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:50.159 We were arguing about this a little bit before we 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:51.840 came back. It's like, I can't go all the way 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:56.119 there with you. I think for starters, I'm looking at 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:58.359 I pulled up the box score, like the Cowboys played 0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:00.600 such a better game, even on de fence, Like they 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.160 allowed one hundred and seventy six yards to that team, 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:07.520 and that was with Drew Brees. U Kamara had fewer 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:11.200 yards on more touches than he did last night. Um, 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:13.360 that mean, I said it at the time. I still 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:16.080 believe it's one of the greatest defensive performances I've ever 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:18.240 seen in the NFL. And the defense played really well 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:20.680 last night. They played well enough to win. They did 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:23.919 not play like that, especially considering it was a different, 0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:26.359 lesser quarterback in the game. Is that also though, the 0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:28.640 difference of being on the road versus being at home 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:30.879 to some degree. Possibly, Yeah, No, I mean that's definitely 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:32.399 got something to do with it. And I think you 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:34.399 can't convince me the Dome didn't have something to do 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:36.760 with how well the Saints played on defense. It was loud, 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:40.240 it was insane. Yeah, Derek's got a freaking noisemeter on 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:42.520 his Apple watch that was reading one oh five on 0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:47.320 the field three. I thought I saw one oh five. 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:48.880 Now they were on their big Boy they were saying 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:51.000 one thirty, and so it was like, yeah, I'm gonna 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:55.399 call BS on that. But yeah, it was it was loud. Yes, 0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:57.160 we could stop with the fifty fifty. They were wrong. 0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:00.480 That article was wrong. It was more like, may have 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:05.160 at ten percent. Well maybe there were a couple of plays. Yeah, 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:08.240 it did get loud. I said, you know, we leave 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:09.960 to go down to the field in the fourth quarter, 0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:12.200
