I wasn't as cold as the games I 25 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: played in when we didn't have a heat warmer. But 26 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: when those things go out, I mean cast getting mad, 27 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,639 Speaker 1: cast getting frustrated. What are we doing. We're talking to Bucky, 28 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: We're talking to Mike, like, man, hold on, get this 29 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: thing working. What are we doing out here as cold 30 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: is on? Heck, because when you called, your fingers start 31 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: getting dumb.

So when I when I 33 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: heater goes out, I'm telling you it's clutched. It's clutch 34 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: to make sure you have your old one and always 35 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: goes out in the way games, Like every time you 36 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: go to somewhere else, it seems to always flicker and 37 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 1: go out. I don't know, but I would have been 38 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: frustrated if that thing was off. Listen, and I'm gonna 39 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: just say this all right. Shout out to Mike McCarthy 40 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: for pulling up the guarantee. But I tell you this, 41 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: I'm sure he was holding a real little tighter. The 42 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: end of that game, I'm saying, oh, man, didn't I 43 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 1: didn't feel asleep at halftime, like yeah, defensive roller, We're okay, 44 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: We're good. And then the second half comes around and 45 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: we do our usual thing, you know, start snatching people 46 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: out of the game, don't play inspired as we have 47 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: been playing at the beginning, and then letting some people 48 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: sneak back in the game. And then all of a sudden, 49 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,079 Speaker 1: they guarantee looked like it might have been at risk, 50 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, please, don't do this, the 51 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: big Mike, don't do this, the big Knight, don't do it. 52 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: So I saw a little nerrves on his face, but 53 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: he pulled it out. Man, So shove off the hill 54 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: and shout out to the cowboys to getting the douve, 55 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: and we back on another victory by day. Hey Man. 56 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: At certain point the time, I'm thinking, if I'm a carthay, 57 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: I'm looking at this is kind of where I miss 58 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 1: Bill Parcels because there would have been a confrontation. I 59 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: have to Dick through that interception. They put them, and 60 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: they put Washington in the game. There would have been 61 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: there would have been a confrontation, there would have been words, 62 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: and Mike McCarthy just just held it all in there. 63 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: Most of all, they get the win and no one, 64 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't see any tweets or anything about 65 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: the benches afterwards, though people were trying to play that 66 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: whole thing up because it was forty eight degrees. Okay, 67 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: so they didn't they didn't need defenses. But it's amazing 68 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: about how many people wanted to make that a topic 69 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: and saying that the Cowboys were disrespectful and that they 70 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: inflamed the rivalry. And most of all, as Todd Archer 71 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: pointed out and others later did, was that Seattle's operational 72 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: people told the cow boys, hey, guess what, those benches 73 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: don't work. They went out on us. So, oh well, 74 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: So what did Jerry do as to me as a 75 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: responsible as a good owner. He decided, I'm not going 76 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: to take the chance that Daniel Snyder and the folks 77 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: at FedEx Field will have working benches. The league will 78 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 1: allow us to bring in our own. So he rented 79 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: them from a company in Cleveland, who wouldn't brought them 80 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 1: down to the football game, and then they put their 81 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: they put the cowboy logos on there. So to me, 82 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: this is where give Jerry Jones credit because he takes 83 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 1: a lot of bullets, but give him credit for trying 84 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: to make sure that his players were not who going 85 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: to be in a position of being cold if the 86 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: weather turned a certain direction. I mean, you're right, Jerry's 87 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: always been, you know, a players guy like, he's always 88 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: looked out for his players for the most part. And 89 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,919 Speaker 1: I'm telling you when you it wasn't that cold, so 90 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: it wasn't that big of a factor. But you want 91 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: your players as comfortable as possible when they hit that 92 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 1: football field. I mean they're already putting their bodies on 93 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: the line, crashing into each other, hitting me, getting concussions, 94 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: you know, tearing ligaments. So I mean you gotta make 95 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: them as comfortable as possible. And by having a heated 96 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 1: bench there, I mean, Jerry can afford it. He got 97 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: all the money in the world. So to me, you know, 98 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: it wasn't a big deal. Get him on there, get 99 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: him heated up, and get him ready to roll. Yeah, 100 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: you listen, let me tell yourself, Jerry, Jerry, he remembers, okay, 101 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,679 Speaker 1: that that year we went down to Chicago and everybody 102 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: was freezing. How we went out there and performed, all right. 103 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: So he's like, listen, I'm not giving us no reason, 104 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: and my head coach made a guarantee, so I'm gonna 105 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: make sure that there is no reason or excuse for 106 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: us not to go out here and win this game. 107 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: So shout out to him. He put the pressure on. 108 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,359 Speaker 1: He put his money behind everything that he's talking about. 109 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: It is like, I'm going to do whatever I can 110 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: to get this team to win the Super Bowl, included 111 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: bring our own heating benches if we need to, all right. 112 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 1: So he's cutting no corners in this. So shout out 113 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: to Jerry, and you know he's serious about it. Hey, mccraig, 114 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: Ay mc craig, he was there that year. We went 115 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: to Chicago. We gotta the bus kit, we gotta bus kit. 116 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: But then they cut off the hot water for the 117 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 1: shot afterwards, and we would take it. It was already, 118 00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: you know, close to below zero out there. They cut 119 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: off the heat in the showers. Man, boys couldn't even 120 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 1: take showers. Man. It was. It was one of those 121 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: deflating losses. Man, I was listen, you know, I went. 122 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 1: I went to Chicago the next year. And it's not 123 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: that they cut it off. It was when it's that cold, 124 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: you have to run that water for almost twenty four 125 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: hours for it to be warm, right, So of course 126 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: they didn't go to our side in the locker room 127 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: be like, yeah, we're gonna do the Cowboys a favor. 128 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 1: So they was like, yeah, we let them figure this 129 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 1: out on their own. And that was some freezing. That 130 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: was probably the dirtiest I've been on the plane ride 131 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: back home because I was like taking up one of 132 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: those one of those kid washes. I just put the 133 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: twel under a little bit. Yeah yeah, hit some salt 134 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 1: the tie and he was going ahead, Yeah yeah, yes, 135 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: so that because that's all you can do. I was 136 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: there that day too. That was ridiculous. Man. I think 137 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: it was Josh McCown. Josh McCown had one of them 138 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: crazy days man as the quarterback. But I was, I 139 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: was woof and uh yeah, I made I made shoot it. 140 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 1: I did not go back to Chicago unless I check 141 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 1: the schedule again because I was in December. Games like 142 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: you will not catch me. The Soldier Field and December 143 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 1: ever again, and I think they went back, maybe it 144 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 1: was two years ago. They went back and the weather 145 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,559 Speaker 1: was nice. It was later in the year, but it 146 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: was not anywhere close to what it was before. So 147 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: the Cowboys get the win here, and I think we 148 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: can go ahead and act like hanging with the boys 149 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: in the break and just pat ourselves on the back 150 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: because yeah, you know, dude, the way they always like 151 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: to do that. But we were very right on the 152 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: players lines talking about what we thought the impact would 153 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: be and could be by getting Neville Gallimore, Tank Lawrence, 154 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: Randy Gregory back and how it could help Michael Parson. 155 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: The front seven was absolutely, absolutely ridiculously wicked. Just looking 156 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: at the game here, Washington three or fourteen on third day, 157 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: I'm twenty nine percent. Four turnovers for the defense. Six 158 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: possessions all right, there were fourteen possessions in the game 159 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: for Washington. Offensively, six of those possessions were three and 160 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: out seven punks. You could not really ask you defense 161 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: to do much more than they did yesterday. In my opinion, 162 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: hit FedEx. Yeah, listen, the defensive one out there shout 163 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: out to taking lauds. Also, by the way, who's been 164 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: showing up for the last two weeks. Churches guy double Gallimar. 165 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: He's been hyping them up since last year. Last season, 166 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: A Church said Neuble Galliwar was gonna be one of 167 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: those big time players on the interior defensive line for us, 168 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: and he is showing out. I see the pull a 169 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: vita vea. It runs straight through the center. We want 170 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: to play right. Took it right back into the quarterback 171 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: Randy Gregory. I'd looked like a defensive back trade. Mound 172 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: Diggs is running off on everybody. Boys, I had getting 173 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,199 Speaker 1: Tippins tipping it to him. So you got Michael Carson's 174 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: out here getting multiple sacks. The only thing that could 175 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: have went better, and is Anthony Brown capitalizing one of 176 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: those two interceptions that he had, all right, and then 177 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: let you know that, lets you know that he was 178 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,839 Speaker 1: in position to make the plays. And I'll take a 179 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: PVU before I take a completed pass anything. So I 180 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: think we all around went out there and play and 181 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: as in game, unfortunately, we continue to take our foot 182 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: off the gas at the end and let these teams 183 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: rack up yards and get these trash touchdowns and make 184 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: the game a little bit more interesting. Than it should be. 185 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: But our defense came to play yesterday and I'm starting 186 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: to see this attitude of like, we are going to 187 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: beat the unit to carry us deep into the playoffs, 188 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: not the offense. I think they took offense to everybody 189 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: saying that as long as we had the middle of 190 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: the road defense that we would be okay. They're like, nah, 191 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna hold. We're gonna do more than that. We're 192 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna be the people who carry this team 193 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: into the playoffs and may then have to respect our 194 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: defense when they playing against and saying how they're gonna 195 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 1: beat us. You talked about that too, We talked about that, 196 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: We talked about the two on the shows that the 197 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: defense at this point time is gonna have to carry 198 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: this team. Right now, that's where they're at. Go ahead, Church. Yeah. 199 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: I had to let Danny get that in there because 200 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: he was calling in front of the beginning. Man. He 201 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: called it definitely, you know back in March talking about 202 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: get dan Quinny and how he's gonna impact this defense. 203 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: So definitely, hats off to dan Quinn. Danny called it right. 204 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: This team, this defense, I mean, they're hitting off all 205 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: cylinders right now, and like you said, News, we talked 206 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: about it on the players lounge with the big three, Parsons, Gregory, 207 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,119 Speaker 1: and the law out there. It's like picking your poison offensively, 208 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: Like if you slide the line one way, you're leaving 209 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: all these other guys with one on ones and then 210 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: they just Parsons and Lawrence that you're leaving one on ones. 211 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: If you decided to slide the line to Gregory, like 212 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: you said, you got Neville Gallimore in there. Oh, Digizua, Calos, Watkins. 213 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: They're so deep on the defensive line it's ridiculous. I 214 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 1: mean you could literally have a fresh set of defensive 215 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,199 Speaker 1: lineman rotating there and the play might drop off a 216 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: little bit, but not significantly. So this defense is rolling 217 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: right now. Like you said, Randy Gregory picked off right 218 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: where he left off. I mean he had five sacks 219 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: going into that and then he had injured Mystery Weeks, 220 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,959 Speaker 1: came back, got another sack, forced fumble, got another pick interception. 221 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: The guy is all over the place and would impressed 222 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: me the most about this defense. In this secondary it 223 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 1: was like you said, everybody was in position. There was 224 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: nobody you know, busted coverages. You didn't see anybody complaining 225 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: important fingers. Everybody was there where they needed to be, 226 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: and even if Washington was able to make the play 227 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: or make a catch, it was contested. There was no 228 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: yards after the catch. And what a job Diggs did. 229 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: Or scary Terry McLaurin. I mean that matchup I thought 230 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,119 Speaker 1: was gonna be a little scary for us. But three targets, 231 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: zero receptions for McLaurin until he got hurt. I mean, 232 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: this dude, he did what he hasn't done all season. 233 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,319 Speaker 1: We know he's good for the interceptions. We know he's 234 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 1: good to jump on something, to break on the pass 235 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: or anything like that. But he literally got in mcclaurin's 236 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: face and locked him down. He shadowed him with right left. 237 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: Wherever mcclorin was, Diggs was right there in his hip pocket. 238 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: And I would love to see more of that as 239 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: the season progresses. But this defense, man, You're right, mcfraidy. 240 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: They're carrying the squad right now and right now, this 241 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: is the formula for success. But I don't know if 242 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: it can last too much longer when we start playing 243 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: better teams. We think Dig's gonna get a second contract. Now, Yeah, 244 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: he was right. He was right, nude, he was right. 245 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: Listen the way that Digs is playing right now, he 246 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: continues this for the next couple of years. Yes, he 247 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: will get he will get a a second contract. And 248 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: that's easy. That is easy if dan Quinn is here. 249 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: Everybody on the defensive getting second contracts, all right, everybody, 250 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: because everybody has elevated their game. What did I tell 251 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: y'all about Tank? Give him the same time that the 252 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: other players on the team have had with dan Quinn, 253 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: who is a defensive line specialist. Give him that same 254 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 1: time and see what take Lawrens you get. And we 255 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 1: are getting the Tank Lawrence that the Cowboys paid for. 256 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: And I can only imagine as he continues to get 257 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: his feet under them and continues to get in football shape, 258 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: how good he's going to look. This is going to 259 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 1: be an amazing defense. We have an opportunity to be 260 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: something really, really special on the defensive end. And I 261 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,079 Speaker 1: think that that one has to go to dan Quinn, 262 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: but two has to go to the players for buying 263 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: in as well. Agree with a one hundred percent one 264 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: hundred percent And I want to emphasize this very much 265 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: and taking nothing away from what Tank and Randy Gregory 266 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 1: did in the defensive defensive in spots because they were fantastic. 267 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: But you saw what Neville Gallimore could do as a 268 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 1: defensive tackle and why I was I was talking about 269 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: how good he had looked at camp, but he was 270 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: their best interior defensive player. How he was moving that 271 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: center around. I mean, and plus he had those those 272 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 1: sweet air Jordans on he got the right right, I mean, 273 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: so you got him on the center. Next thing, you know, 274 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 1: they got Michael Parsons, you know, going in blue, you know, 275 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: blitzed off his hit pocket. I mean, that's what happens 276 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: when you can can have a presence up front that 277 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: interior line. The Gibson here was his numbers. Ten attempts, 278 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: thirty six yards. Man, that's what he did. They just 279 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: as a team. Washington had twenty three touches for one 280 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: hundred yards. But you and I saw it. There was 281 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: nothing affective. They couldn't get their run game going at all. 282 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 1: And Gibson last year was I think he had his 283 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,959 Speaker 1: two career highs against the Cowboys. So they shut that down, 284 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 1: and once you saw that, it allowed in my opinion, 285 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: once you shut the rundown, now they got to throw it. 286 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 1: And this is where you saw a tank. You saw Randy, 287 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: you saw Parsons. I mean, I poor kid out there, man, Taylor, 288 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: How Dicky saw ghost? I mean maybe literally they beat 289 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: him up. He had to leave the game, and that 290 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: Sackra Parsons came in and picked him up and put 291 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: him down. I mean that was vicious, man, that was vicious. 292 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: It was definitely filthy how they did it. And and 293 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: like you said, last year, Antonio Gibson, he rushed for 294 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: two hundred and forty three yards and I think three 295 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: or four touchdowns against US in two games. And then 296 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: this year you fast forward it to what we got 297 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: going on now. That combination of Neville Gallamore, oh, Dicky Zua, 298 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: Carlos Watkins, I mean, Tristan Hilling there, that interior defensive 299 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: defensive line right there, it really sewed it up and 300 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: it allowed like you said that the line depending their 301 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: ears back. What are you gonna do when you have 302 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: a package like that where you got the Law on 303 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: one side, Gregory on the other side, pinning their ears back, 304 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: you got Michael Parsons just rolling in the front line. 305 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: You don't know where he's gonna pressure or where he's 306 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: gonna come. It just leave too many one on ones 307 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: for the offensive mind. And if you don't get that 308 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: ball out quick. I mean, these guys are hunting. They're 309 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: head hunting out there, and it's a scary sight. Matsten. Listen, 310 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: and I'll say this one of the biggest differences that 311 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: you that it's been so obvious when Tak Lawrence and 312 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: when Randy Gregory were not in the game and you 313 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: watch the other teams playing on how they were going 314 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: to attack us in the run. They were attacking the edges. 315 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: People were not standing outside. You would see runs break 316 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: outside all the time because you would see the deepest 317 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: of ends give a little nose and they would peek 318 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: inside and then the room will pop outside for eight 319 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: to ten yards. You were not seeing that anymore. You 320 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: got two veteran guys out here who are playing their 321 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: responsibility and rushing the passer. And I'll say this for 322 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: the defense Church. You named all those guys right, all 323 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: of the Carlos backingsas Tristan's Hills. Right. When you have 324 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: a defense that is playing this way, that puts the 325 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: onus on those guys, those rotational guys to come in 326 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: and make sure that they play up to the standard. 327 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: Right when you looked at it last year, there was 328 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: no standard for the guys to come in and blow 329 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: them too. Now, when you start saying stuff like, hey man, 330 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: we got a guy like Parcels, we gotta pub like 331 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: we got a guy like Tank and Rander Grandy Gregory, 332 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: When when those guys come in the game, they know 333 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: what's expected of them. And I think you can see 334 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: that through the entire secondary, through the linebackers, and you 335 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: can see another the defensive line. I really, I just 336 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: think it's it's it's a total one eighty from what 337 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: we saw last year. And that's that's the exciting part 338 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: about it. All. Right, let's take our first break. There's 339 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: a game ball I want to give give out and 340 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: fans out there won't really notice it, but I know 341 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: when I mentioned who it should go to, Danny and 342 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: Barry will say yes. And what's going on with Dak Prescott? 343 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: Is it mental? Is that what's going on?

I k new we scrugs alone by 394 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:39,199 Speaker 1: joined along aside former Cowboys safeties free agent safeties by 395 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: the way, they need were first round picks. They had 396 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: to earn it with about the blood, as they say 397 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: Danny mcraig. So we all were praised in the defense 398 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: at last segment as we should have. They were outstanding. 399 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 1: A game ball needs to go to Britt Rank because 400 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,400 Speaker 1: Britt Rown, who we've seen as we go do this podcast, 401 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 1: you see out of the Star all the time working 402 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: to get guys back. Neville Gallimore hadn't played since the preseason, 403 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,479 Speaker 1: so not only did they help get him back, Britain 404 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 1: the staff, but you saw him effective. You know Tank 405 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,360 Speaker 1: Lawrence who broke his foot after the first game. I mean, 406 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: he's back and effective. And that's the kind of thing was. Man, 407 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: you gotta give a guy a game ball like that, 408 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: because what kind of price tag can you put on 409 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 1: getting guys back and having them be effective. You guys 410 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: have worked with britt as well, so you know what 411 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 1: he can do. And May the guy's a hell of 412 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: a trainer, man, and that's why, I mean, that's why 413 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: he's been doing it for what twenty five plus years now. 414 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 1: I mean, he's amazing at his job or what he does, 415 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: and it's just amazing because he brought these guys back. 416 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: He had such lengthy you know, injuries. They were out 417 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 1: what I think the Law was out maybe ten weeks, 418 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,640 Speaker 1: Neville Gallimore even more. And you saw out there there 419 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,919 Speaker 1: in durance was good. It wasn't like they were huffing 420 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: and puffing or out there just a long one knee 421 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: can barely go subbing in. And now they were out 422 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 1: there good for me well, and in dire situations. So 423 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: you gotta love his training ability to get these guys 424 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: back in shape and back on the field and having 425 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,919 Speaker 1: some of their best games out there. And I just 426 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: reflect back to when I tore my achilles. You know, 427 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: I did a whole year rehab. What Britt came back 428 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen and had, you know, one of the 429 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 1: best seasons of my career. So shouts definitely goes out 430 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: to Britt Brown and Jim Mower and those boys because 431 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: they definitely know what they're doing and they get these 432 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: guys back as soon as possible and sometimes better than 433 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: they were when they left. Yeah, I'm a second everything 434 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: that Church just said, you know, fill the injuries that 435 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 1: I that I sustained when I was playing. Britt and 436 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 1: Jim and and g Money, they all took care of 437 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: me when I was in there. But I'll say just 438 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 1: to add on, I think one of the most important 439 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: things that they're able to do is get these guys 440 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 1: back when they're ready to come back, right. You don't 441 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: you don't often see us put that pill guys back 442 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: in there when it's too early, and you don't see 443 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: them sitting out for too long. Right. It seems like 444 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: they always come back right on time to where you 445 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: don't see them some for those same type of injuries. Again, 446 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: So shout out to them for being able to do that. 447 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: And you have to gain the trust of the players 448 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: in order for them to be able to have that 449 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 1: belief that you're doing the right thing and takeing care 450 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: of the right way. You don't see a lot of 451 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: people going to get second opinions on the Cowboys trading 452 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 1: staff either, because they trust that what that staff is doing. 453 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: So you know, they're great. To shout out to all 454 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: of them. But they got our guys back and ready 455 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 1: to go. And I'm hyperbout it. Yes, yes, in this defense, 456 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,439 Speaker 1: as we were talking about, may have to go ahead 457 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,120 Speaker 1: and carry the Cowboys down the stretches they get ready 458 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: to go to matlife, stay to face the Giants, then 459 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: host Washington the day after Christmas on NBC Sunday Night Football, 460 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: then host Kyler Murray and the Cardinals before ending the 461 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: season half Philadelphia. The offense, on the other hand, has 462 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: got some issues. I'm just sitting right now looking at 463 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: how they were one and six in the red zone. 464 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 1: There were six punts in the fourteen possessions on offense 465 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,880 Speaker 1: that the Cowboys had in the fourth quarter in five drives, 466 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: there were three punts. In those three punts, they were 467 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,199 Speaker 1: three outs, and then you had an interception. In the 468 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,199 Speaker 1: football game. The Cowboys win twenty seven twenty, but the 469 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: second half was ugly and Dak Prescott completed twenty two 470 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 1: or thirty nine for two hundred and eleven yards, one touchdown, 471 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,439 Speaker 1: two picks with the QB reading of fifty eight point eight. Guys, 472 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: what's going on? Yeah, I'm gonna tell you like this. 473 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,199 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you like this. Okay, I'm gonna keep 474 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: it straight. We've been talking about this run game, okay 475 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: for week one, all right, and if you're not able 476 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: to do it, you're going to continue to be in 477 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: these situations. If you look at that runs a bootleg 478 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: and throws an interception, the linebacker doesn't even look like 479 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 1: he bent on the run face. You know why, because 480 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: you ain't got no ringing. I mean, you're the reason 481 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: that you're able to run bootlegs is because you have 482 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: established the run or the deepest beliefs that you are 483 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: going to run the ball. Same thing with screens. The 484 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: only reason you can run the screen is because somebody 485 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: You believe that somebody's putting some pressure on you, because 486 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: that's that's that's the illusion that you're giving off. There's 487 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: no allusion with our ring game, all right. And the 488 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: thing is even with Zeke Hamper on Sunday, I still 489 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 1: believe that we had a chance to continue to get 490 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: some of those runs. And he wasn't moving as fast 491 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 1: as he as he usually does, but he was getting 492 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 1: some positive some positive runs. You just want to keep 493 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: the defense honest, and I think that still oftentimes in 494 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: drives we've moved away from the run, or we'll start 495 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 1: with a deep pass on first down and before you note, 496 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: you behind the sticks, so you got to throw it 497 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: on second and third and it didn't work out for us. 498 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,439 Speaker 1: Dak has looked off. He just looked off. I'm not 499 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: sure what's going on with him. Some of his placement 500 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 1: on some of the balls have been off, his decision 501 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: making and some instances have been off as well. I'm 502 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: not sure what's going on. And he doesn't trust what's 503 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: in front of him. He needs to be able to 504 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,479 Speaker 1: move in the pocket a little bit better, scramble a 505 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 1: little bit more. It's it's a lot that he can 506 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 1: do to get better. But overall, I think this really 507 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: hinges on the offensive line in our billity running football. Yeah, 508 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: you're right about that. I'm with you on running the football, 509 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: and it's tough, it's tough to because you know, when 510 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: we don't, we don't know when we're gonna get back 511 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: Tony Pollard. He has that foot injury, and Zeke just 512 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,160 Speaker 1: hasn't looked himself since he's been injured. As we can tell, 513 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: he's still laboring around out there, and it's not like 514 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: we can we can rest him because we have who 515 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,199 Speaker 1: we have behind Clement. I mean Clement, he came in 516 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,119 Speaker 1: and did a couple of good things, but is he 517 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 1: a featured back. Is he a guy who can turn 518 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: around and hand the ball off two twenty five times 519 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: a game? I don't know. I mean, he's never had 520 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: that type of situation in his career. But we've got 521 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 1: to find somehow, some way to at least have the 522 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: threat of running the football. I mean, it's just but 523 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 1: right now, with our two lead backs hurt, it's a 524 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 1: hard thing to do. And like mccraie said, when when 525 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: you don't have any type of threat of the running 526 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: game and you're trying to get the ball out of 527 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 1: your quarterback's hands quickly, the whole defense is just sitting 528 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: back and watching. You can't really, you know, do an 529 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 1: RPO or fake to run and do a quick bubble 530 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: screening because nobody's gonna bite up on that. And like 531 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: that that that bootleg McCrae was talking about, he had 532 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 1: a defender in his face, but it's like the linebacker 533 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: got so much depth under there because no but he 534 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 1: was forced to bring him up he had. If you 535 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: watch it, he didn't even take one step towards the 536 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. As soon as the ball was snapped, 537 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 1: he turned and knew something was coming his way and 538 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: got underneath that overwrought by Dalton Scholtz on that one. 539 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 1: So I don't know if it's the creative play call 540 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: from Kelly Moore, if defensive coordinators have caught up to 541 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: him and caught up to how he likes the call plays, 542 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 1: or whatever the case may be. But something has to change. 543 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: And like mcraie said, Dak Prescott looks off, you know, 544 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: ever since that calf injury. I'm gonna say it. I mean, 545 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: he just hasn't looked right. Whether it's accuracy, just timing 546 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: with the receivers, whatever the case may be, he just 547 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: has not looked right. Because if we're being honest here, 548 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 1: he should have thrown four interceptions yesterday. I mean that 549 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 1: first drive going out there, he hit the corner dead 550 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: in his hands. I mean it looked just like Anthony 551 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: Brown out there. He dead in his hands, was nowhere 552 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,119 Speaker 1: near the receiver on that one. And then you fast 553 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: forward to i think the third quarter, and he threw 554 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 1: that screenplay when you when you know as a quarterback, 555 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 1: And I'm sure he knows this if the screen is 556 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 1: covered up, if d lineman or all over it, you know, hey, 557 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: we don't have a play here, Let's just throw it 558 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: in the dirt instead. He trying to take a risk, 559 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: and I don't know if he try to side arm 560 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: it in there. I don't know what he was trying 561 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: to do, but hit the d line in writing the numbers, 562 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: and thank goodness he dropped the football. But he could 563 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: have had foreign receptions out there. I'm not sure what's 564 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: going on because it doesn't seem like he's getting a 565 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: lot of pressure. Like I feel like, you know, maybe 566 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: there's opportunities here and there where he has to run 567 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 1: a little bit, but it's not like he's getting running 568 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: for his life out there. I feel like he has 569 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: he has a pocket enough to do some damage out there. 570 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,199 Speaker 1: So I'm not so sure if it's the receiver's not 571 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: getting open if it's the play calling, but whatever the 572 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 1: case may be, that that definitely needs to step his 573 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: game up if we're gonna think we're gonna have a 574 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: long playoff run, because I tell you now, once we 575 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,679 Speaker 1: get to the playoffs, we're not gonna run into too 576 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: many Taylor Heinekes. There's gonna be a lot of Aaron Rodgers, 577 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 1: Tom Brady's and those sorts. So we're definitely gonna need 578 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: an a game from Dak Press Scott. I'll say this. 579 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: I'll say this too, man. You know when you want 580 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 1: to help out the quarterback and you want to if 581 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: you're not going to run the ball, you want to 582 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: give us some easy throws. And I just as I'm 583 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: watching the Green Bay Packer game yesterday, and I'm looking 584 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,880 Speaker 1: that Aaron Rodgers and DeVante Alice and how the game 585 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: becomes so easy for them, right when you have that 586 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,640 Speaker 1: number one guy who you can depend on to get open. 587 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: You see the quick slant in his own easy pass, 588 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: you don't even have to call a play. Hey, then 589 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: we got DeVante one on one, He's gonna run quick slant. 590 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 1: He's gonna catch that ball in his own same thing. 591 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: At the end of the game, quick out. You know 592 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,400 Speaker 1: he's gonna be open. It's easy throws for a guy, 593 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,199 Speaker 1: so he could give into the rhythm, and I just 594 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: hadn't seen us be able to do that, which is 595 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: why I always HARKing on this Amari Cooper being on 596 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 1: number one receiver. You have to have a guy who 597 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 1: when when things are going bad, you can lean on 598 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 1: this guy, say this guy's gonna be open, and we 599 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: have not. It looks like we haven't schemed scheme that, 600 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 1: so you don't see it when we get into these 601 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: situations where hey man, you've gotta have it. What are 602 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: we gonna do? It seems like it's a schemed up 603 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: play concept versus hey man, this is our player who 604 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: we're gonna lean on to get us get us this 605 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 1: first down. Ah. There are definitely some things that's gotta 606 00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 1: get fixed around there. Confidence is obviously one thing for 607 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott had Jack Taylor on my TV show last 608 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 1: night and Jack said at a conversation he had with 609 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott that Dak talks about, Yeah, you know what, 610 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: I can't lose confidence. He says, you know, we're all human, 611 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,719 Speaker 1: and I think something where fans don't always want to 612 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: acknowledge is quarterbacks are a lot like pictures. You're gonna 613 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: go through some bad streams. Okay you are. It happens, 614 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: and it's how do you get out of that? And 615 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: so I don't know whether this is the combination of 616 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 1: Kelly Moore helps Um the offensive coordinator, or whether it's 617 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: the offensive line. When we come back, there is an issue, 618 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: possibly two issues with the offensive line. Is they get 619 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,239 Speaker 1: ready to face the giants. They got to go up 620 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: to MetLife stake and will dive into that with Danny 621 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 1: McCray Barry Church, I'm new he strugs.

All right, guys, let's 669 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 1: let's talk about the offensive plot. There's there's one thing 670 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 1: that you guys are gonna be happy about, and that 671 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 1: is how the line responded. When Dak Prescott got pushed 672 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: on the sidelines, Lell Collins came to his defense, threw 673 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: a punch, and he was ejected. I was a lot 674 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: different when we saw last year where Andy Dalton was 675 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: getting thrown around and he was just like looking at 676 00:32:50,440 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 1: him like, oh right, Now here comes to issue. As 677 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: you start to get ready for the thing it gets 678 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 1: New York. Will the NFL suspend college with a punch, 679 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 1: and so that means if he's suspended, you got a 680 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: right tackle issues. Tyler Smith left the game, has an 681 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: ankle injury. If he doesn't play, then you're gonna need 682 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 1: a left tackle. So you could need two tackles, which 683 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 1: the count was, Oh, by the way, had their backup 684 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 1: tackles out there the end of the game. They could 685 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 1: need two tackles going into this Giant's game. So Bellas 686 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 1: is something to think about, especially as we talked about 687 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 1: trying to get the one game fixed with two running 688 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 1: backs who are not help Danny. I was, I know 689 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 1: you better not be giving a layoff college no, no, 690 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 1: no points, but going out throwing the punch again me 691 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 1: take it all right, I know you better not be 692 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 1: doing that. Yeah, I'll have enough by different attitude. Oh, 693 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 1: none of that. It's a different way to get that 694 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: type of stuff handled. You ain't have to throw no push. 695 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 1: You know why you don't need to throw no push 696 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 1: because you're already missed five games. Never miss five, you're 697 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 1: just five already. What are we doing? Like? What are 698 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 1: we or it does not make sense, It doesn't make sense. 699 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,400 Speaker 1: I've seen players defend their quarterback and not get ejected 700 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 1: from games. I've seen it happen. You do not have 701 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 1: to get ejected to show that the offensive line is 702 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: there for their quarterback. You don't have to do it because, 703 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 1: like you said, now you have an issue where you 704 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 1: possibly don't have either tackle right you're talking about you're 705 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,319 Speaker 1: talking you're talking about going on a run. You're talking 706 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,760 Speaker 1: about making it deep into the playoffs, getting the offense 707 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 1: back on track. This is this is what you're trying 708 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 1: to do with. At the same time, you're also missing 709 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 1: players who are key parts of it. Where where the 710 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,359 Speaker 1: coaches put you in a position to say, you got 711 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,279 Speaker 1: your starting job back because we don't know why, but 712 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,239 Speaker 1: you got it back. And man, and now and now 713 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 1: now you might be suspended again. I mean, I just 714 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 1: it don't make sense to shout out to help and 715 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 1: having back back and Zeke and all that stuff. I 716 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 1: just wish he would have found a different way to do. 717 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,279 Speaker 1: Do a chess bump, do something you ain't got to 718 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 1: You ain't got to punch nobody. Man. The funny the 719 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,320 Speaker 1: funny part about it, man, is when they closed stuff, 720 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,400 Speaker 1: when they did the close up on him, he was 721 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 1: he was his heart. He was trying as hard as 722 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 1: not to swing like he was like, oh I can't, 723 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 1: and then just the instincts and just I don't know 724 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 1: what it was just took over. And when I dud 725 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 1: ducked his head, he definitely swung a little uppercut in 726 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,400 Speaker 1: there and caught him one. But like you said, he 727 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 1: could have did with Zeke did ran in there, just 728 00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 1: gave him a little chess bump, push, push, and just 729 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,879 Speaker 1: you know, separated things like that. We've seen it all 730 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,479 Speaker 1: the time in practice, when guys really don't want to fight, 731 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,600 Speaker 1: they just kind of grapple each other, hold each other 732 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 1: up by the by their jersey, like, oh no, you 733 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 1: swing first, you swing first, take your helm and off. 734 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 1: He could have did one of those, but the instincts 735 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 1: took over. He decided to take that swing and hopefully 736 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 1: the NFL doesn't swing and try to suspend them. So 737 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 1: it puts us in a shaky situation. But he's been 738 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 1: doing this before. They put us in a shaky situation 739 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 1: earlier in the season when you know, we know what happened. 740 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: So man, he just can't seem to find his way 741 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 1: out of trouble. I'll say, who started the downfall on 742 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 1: his officive? Lite? Who did it? Okay? I want I 743 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 1: want to I want to see him play. I'm just 744 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 1: saying this is this started. Okay, we had a we 745 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 1: had a bad left guard, you know what I'm saying. 746 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,280 Speaker 1: But he did go against some some top knots competition. 747 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 1: He was getting walked back into the into the quarterback. 748 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 1: But but but as far as shuffling the guys and 749 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 1: trying to figure out how we're gonna protect east Side, 750 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 1: we know when it started. Well, you disagree game game one, 751 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,399 Speaker 1: when when Zack Martin missed because of the COVID. The 752 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,360 Speaker 1: there's just been one issue after another with this offensive 753 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,440 Speaker 1: line all season long. If we just come going back 754 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,600 Speaker 1: to Game one of not being able to have the 755 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,359 Speaker 1: guys who thought you'd have out there, and then we'd 756 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:41,839 Speaker 1: put some of the guys out there, you're like, oh, 757 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 1: we got a problem the left We got the problem 758 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 1: with the left guard, and then you got issues with 759 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,479 Speaker 1: the center. I mean, um, this when the season ends, 760 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 1: it'll be very interesting to see him kind of conversations 761 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:56,920 Speaker 1: Joe Philbin and Mike McCarthy and Will McClay have because frankly, 762 00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 1: I thought this unit would be a lot better than 763 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 1: what it's been that Um, so there's issues. And look 764 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,279 Speaker 1: there's another issue coming up this week, and it's about 765 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 1: who's going to be available and who will be healthy 766 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,960 Speaker 1: if they are available for this football game. So, um, 767 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:14,120 Speaker 1: they think we're going against the Giants. Man, So this 768 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 1: offensive line, the quarterback, you and then the running backs 769 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 1: aren't healthy. So this offantastic issues right now, guys, and 770 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,439 Speaker 1: you just hope and this is where you're paying people 771 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:28,279 Speaker 1: a lot of money as coaches fix it, figure out 772 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 1: how you fix it, and get with your players, because 773 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 1: right now, what you have it's not going to take 774 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 1: you very far in the playoffs. I see it right now. 775 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,320 Speaker 1: I saw Temple Man they were firing that that blitz 776 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,239 Speaker 1: up against Buffalo. I'm just telling you it's it's it's 777 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 1: some defenses you do not want to see if your 778 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:52,319 Speaker 1: offensive line is not at full strength. All right, moving 779 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,080 Speaker 1: into the playoffs, when you start playing some of these 780 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,319 Speaker 1: better teams we've seen, We've seen us have struggle with 781 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,320 Speaker 1: teams in the AMC. We're seeing us have trouble with 782 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 1: the Saints offensively. If you look at a team like 783 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 1: like Tampa right now, who is they're starting to can't 784 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,759 Speaker 1: fire a little bit on defense? This is not a 785 00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,319 Speaker 1: recipe for successful us. We have to find a way 786 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,439 Speaker 1: to get the five best play and make sure they're 787 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:20,719 Speaker 1: healthy and ready to go. This is the challenge, and 788 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:22,600 Speaker 1: this is why you pay coaches a lot of money. 789 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:26,840 Speaker 1: This is where Mike McCarthy and Joe Philbin and Skip 790 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,360 Speaker 1: Pete and Kellen Moore and Doug and Dust Meyer, I 791 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,600 Speaker 1: mean all this group of guys, these coaches, man, this 792 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 1: is where they've got to go ahead and figure out 793 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 1: how how they addressed the warts murder. Talking to Duck Collins, 794 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,360 Speaker 1: the former coach of the Chicago Bulls and He was 795 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:43,839 Speaker 1: working at T and T at the time and talking 796 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 1: to a group of people and he said, hey, guys, 797 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:47,800 Speaker 1: your job as a coach is to buying the warts 798 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,160 Speaker 1: and cover up the warts. Sometimes you can't fix everything 799 00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 1: because you know, it's just how sports works, and sometimes 800 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 1: your players and what you have is what you have. 801 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,319 Speaker 1: So how do you cover it up? And that's to 802 00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,360 Speaker 1: me the challenge for the Cowboys right now on offenses. 803 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,640 Speaker 1: Just figure out how do you cover it up? And 804 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,120 Speaker 1: maybe you can become what Kansas City has become. Because 805 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:05,920 Speaker 1: one the thing I noticed, and I don't know how 806 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 1: chew guys have watched this, So you saw Kansas City 807 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,800 Speaker 1: struggling with the defense. They get guys healthy, get guys healthy. 808 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:12,799 Speaker 1: Now boom, now they're playing well. But at the same time, 809 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:14,920 Speaker 1: the offense is going through a couple of issues. And 810 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:18,000 Speaker 1: then yesterday against the Raiders, the office just broke out 811 00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:19,919 Speaker 1: and they went crazy. Now you look at Kansas City 812 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:21,840 Speaker 1: and you say, you know what, man, that could be 813 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 1: a team that could win the Super Bowl the way 814 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:26,839 Speaker 1: they're playing on both sides of the football. Had seen 815 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,160 Speaker 1: their defense play that well in the last three four years. 816 00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 1: So kay, yesterday and yes, they did and maybe it's 817 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,719 Speaker 1: Maybel and Tea didn't normally like to run the ball, 818 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 1: So maybe the Cowboys and these next four football games 819 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,360 Speaker 1: can find some of that. And guys, let's be honest, 820 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,759 Speaker 1: if they go beat the Giants and they beat Washington 821 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,840 Speaker 1: and then you get into a great shootout with Arizona 822 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:51,440 Speaker 1: and come away with that one, you're gonna look at 823 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 1: this team a whole lot different, a whole lot different, 824 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,800 Speaker 1: because now they're gonna be sitting here with three more wins. 825 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,439 Speaker 1: You now they're talking about a team with twelve wins 826 00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 1: in the back. What I doubt you're gonna look at 827 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,960 Speaker 1: them different, especially if they're able to rattle off these 828 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,560 Speaker 1: next three because Arizona, it goes New York, Washington, Arizona. 829 00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,799 Speaker 1: Am I correct with that? Yes, yes, sir. Yeah. So 830 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:12,960 Speaker 1: if you're able to rip these next three off and 831 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,600 Speaker 1: it puts you in great position to even challenge for 832 00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,040 Speaker 1: that number one spot as far as the NFC contender 833 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,080 Speaker 1: is in the playoffs, then we are looking at this 834 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 1: team totally different. Now, the question I want to ask 835 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 1: both of y'all is do y'all feel like, let's just 836 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 1: say we do rattle these off, we rattle these wins off, 837 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 1: but we're having that same type of formula where the 838 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,080 Speaker 1: defense is carrying us. They're taking the football away. Offense 839 00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,719 Speaker 1: has been so so, but they haven't really, you know, 840 00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,400 Speaker 1: just cost us the whole game. Do you feel like 841 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 1: that formula could work and it lead to a long time, 842 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 1: a long term playoff room. I do. I mean, like 843 00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:49,000 Speaker 1: I said in my opinion, you have to have something 844 00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,719 Speaker 1: to lean on when you're when you're I say, when 845 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,520 Speaker 1: you're passing games now not working. But you can't lead 846 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,759 Speaker 1: on your offense at all, then your defense has to 847 00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,319 Speaker 1: be able to make some type of plays for you. 848 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 1: What we know about our defense is they're giving us 849 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,560 Speaker 1: extra possessions. They can't even score the ball. What we 850 00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,120 Speaker 1: know about our special teams is at any point that 851 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,920 Speaker 1: you know, bones, as much as he does some crazy stuff, 852 00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,520 Speaker 1: we can block a punt, we can get we can 853 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 1: get some type of faith going. So we still have 854 00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,120 Speaker 1: opportunities to make stuff happen. But as long as our 855 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,400 Speaker 1: deepest can keep us in the game, I still have 856 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,759 Speaker 1: faith that our offense can can get a score when 857 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 1: they need to. I mean, I don't think we have 858 00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,200 Speaker 1: to score. It's it's great for us not to happen 859 00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,560 Speaker 1: to score thirty to win. So I think the recipe 860 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,520 Speaker 1: for success for us is that that New York Giants 861 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,759 Speaker 1: type of type of defense that you talked about when 862 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:36,879 Speaker 1: they had those four guys up front and they can 863 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 1: rush for the four and then and then just play 864 00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,200 Speaker 1: coverage on the back end and shut guys down. I 865 00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,759 Speaker 1: think that if we're able to do that, we got 866 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 1: a chance to be just about anyone. The red zone 867 00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,640 Speaker 1: efficiency is a problem with guys, and that even you 868 00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 1: go back and you look at New England win that 869 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,120 Speaker 1: they had of a Fox brow Um, the Cowboss just 870 00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,040 Speaker 1: got to be better in terms of getting point to 871 00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:00,400 Speaker 1: mean one of six yesterday in the red zone. That's 872 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,280 Speaker 1: just that that's good enough to be a Taylor Heinekey, 873 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,160 Speaker 1: but that's not good enough to be you know, a 874 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,160 Speaker 1: Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers or some of these other 875 00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,480 Speaker 1: folks that you can potentially face in the playoffs. So 876 00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,239 Speaker 1: they got it fixed in just looking here at the 877 00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:15,480 Speaker 1: ball possession and drive chart in the second just in 878 00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:19,399 Speaker 1: the second half alone, the first one was a nine 879 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,800 Speaker 1: play drive which ended in a punt. Then it was 880 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 1: a four play drive which ended in a punt. Then 881 00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,400 Speaker 1: they got the football off a fumble at the Washington 882 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,759 Speaker 1: twenty five and then only went fifteen yards and had 883 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,000 Speaker 1: to kick a field goal. Then you go into the 884 00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:39,200 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, Cowboys three and out punt, next possession three 885 00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:42,120 Speaker 1: and out punt. Then they get the ball at their 886 00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:47,680 Speaker 1: own twenty two pick. Then the next possession three and 887 00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,759 Speaker 1: out punt, and then they got the ball after a 888 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,560 Speaker 1: fumble by the defense, and then it was the they 889 00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,759 Speaker 1: ran the clock out. Um, you know, five drives and 890 00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:00,480 Speaker 1: a fourth quarter, three of them punts and a pit No, 891 00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:02,919 Speaker 1: this is where the offense has got to go ahead 892 00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,480 Speaker 1: and fix these things. And maybe Washington I've watching it, 893 00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,799 Speaker 1: but maybe New York is the excellent opponent to go 894 00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,160 Speaker 1: ahead and start fixing these things. But that's what I 895 00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,880 Speaker 1: look at, guys, when I just see what has to happen, 896 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,280 Speaker 1: is that got to be better about using the clock 897 00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 1: and generating points. When they get in the red zone, 898 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,239 Speaker 1: your defense is out here giving you the football back 899 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,040 Speaker 1: and you're only giving them three points. I mean, that's 900 00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,560 Speaker 1: that cut it yesterday. But if you're trying to talk 901 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,520 Speaker 1: about having any kind of playoff runnings, it's lasting longer 902 00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:33,480 Speaker 1: than a game that those areas have got to improve. Yeah, 903 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,719 Speaker 1: you got to improve in your red zone, and like 904 00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,720 Speaker 1: we talked about earlier, they got to improve on first down. 905 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,160 Speaker 1: I mean, when you can get in, you know, three 906 00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,640 Speaker 1: four yards on first down, second down, get some more 907 00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,560 Speaker 1: positive plays, it makes it a lot easier when you're 908 00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,040 Speaker 1: third and manageable. When you're in third and three, third 909 00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,640 Speaker 1: and four, third and five, you can have a high 910 00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,200 Speaker 1: percentage of third down conversions when it's that low and 911 00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,719 Speaker 1: not manageable. But what we've seen in these past couple 912 00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,600 Speaker 1: of games with the runna being where it's at those 913 00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,680 Speaker 1: first down, those first down, those first down plays, they're 914 00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:03,840 Speaker 1: not very positive. You may get one or two yards, 915 00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:05,719 Speaker 1: then you're looking at the second along and then ends 916 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:07,680 Speaker 1: up being a third and long. And that's when we've 917 00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,200 Speaker 1: been suffering at these third down conversion races when it's 918 00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,319 Speaker 1: over five yards or where it's over ten yards. So 919 00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,800 Speaker 1: I feel like, if we can get better on first down, 920 00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,319 Speaker 1: maybe find a way to get this run game going. 921 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,080 Speaker 1: I'm not sure how we do it. I'm not gonna 922 00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:20,640 Speaker 1: lie to you. I don't know how we're gonna do it. 923 00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,640 Speaker 1: But if we're able to find some way to get 924 00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,280 Speaker 1: that going, I think it's proved dividends for this offense. 925 00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,160 Speaker 1: But right now they're they're staggering there, they're stuck in 926 00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:32,560 Speaker 1: neutral right now, how do you get your run game going? Listen, 927 00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it like it like it's easy. I'm 928 00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,160 Speaker 1: no offensive coordinator, but I can tell you one thing. 929 00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:42,120 Speaker 1: When you're playing defense, misdirection and the illusion of the 930 00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,319 Speaker 1: ball going one way and then you hand it off 931 00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,560 Speaker 1: to somebody else that can help you. Like jet sweeps 932 00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,799 Speaker 1: can help you. When they're teams are running zone, they're 933 00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:54,520 Speaker 1: running man and you get somebody jet sweep across the formation, 934 00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:57,600 Speaker 1: it changes everything, right, So you're gonna have to get creative. 935 00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:59,080 Speaker 1: You gonna have to get some of that show Nick 936 00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,040 Speaker 1: Big type of stuff on to where you're kind of 937 00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,920 Speaker 1: confusing the defense, making them check their reads, making them 938 00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:05,719 Speaker 1: just slow down just a little bit to gear that 939 00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,000 Speaker 1: extra extra piece of space. And I haven't seen us 940 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:10,719 Speaker 1: do it since cde Lamb I think came out of 941 00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:12,560 Speaker 1: the backfield, and I think you might to score a 942 00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:15,080 Speaker 1: touchdown in that place, but I'm not sure. But we're 943 00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,359 Speaker 1: gonna have to get creative with our ring game. All right. 944 00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,200 Speaker 1: Sounds like Kellen Moore's got some work to do because 945 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,680 Speaker 1: special piece trying to get a head coaching job after 946 00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:27,120 Speaker 1: the season national Football Leagues. So offense has got some 947 00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,359 Speaker 1: issues and the quarterback's got to be a little bit better. 948 00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:31,520 Speaker 1: But right now Dan coint of the defense. It also 949 00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,640 Speaker 1: bones the special teams units that got the Cowboys playing 950 00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,200 Speaker 1: at a at a level that has nine wins and 951 00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:40,920 Speaker 1: the three game lead in the NFC East. So all 952 00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,239 Speaker 1: the victory Monday, let's not lose sight of that as 953 00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:46,520 Speaker 1: we wrap up the shelves. Cowboys are in there. They 954 00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:49,399 Speaker 1: are where they want to be. There's areas to fix, 955 00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:53,080 Speaker 1: but right now they're where they want to be here. Listen, hey, 956 00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:54,880 Speaker 1: and before we get off in here, Okay, because I 957 00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:56,680 Speaker 1: know Church you wanted to say, Joe Burrow had a 958 00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:59,720 Speaker 1: hell of a game yesterday. Okay, he left his team. 959 00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,000 Speaker 1: He left his team on the field, right, They left 960 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:04,960 Speaker 1: the field with the league and his and his defense 961 00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:06,799 Speaker 1: couldn't get him, right, you know, he brought his team 962 00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,480 Speaker 1: all the way back him with Jamarche single handedly got 963 00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,080 Speaker 1: him in the game. He had three hundred and forty 964 00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:13,880 Speaker 1: eight yards twenty four for thirty two something like that. 965 00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:15,120 Speaker 1: He had a hell of a game and they just 966 00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:19,560 Speaker 1: didn't win. Joe Herbert got to do. Congratulations him, But 967 00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:22,200 Speaker 1: what happened with Burrow? And then when it was zero zero, 968 00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:24,440 Speaker 1: when the game was right there in the balance, he 969 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:28,160 Speaker 1: should have had to bring him back like that. Bro, Herbert, 970 00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,200 Speaker 1: herbody ain't doing none of that. He's starting it from 971 00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:32,359 Speaker 1: the jump. Man. You see what he's doing out there, 972 00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:34,359 Speaker 1: and you know what you know. I don't gotta say, 973 00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:36,759 Speaker 1: you know, her Birst speaks for itself. Who these first 974 00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,960 Speaker 1: two seasons, he's definitely been better than Burrow. We'll see 975 00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,799 Speaker 1: going forward. That's not true. Right now, Herbert has been 976 00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,520 Speaker 1: better these first two listeners. Herbert has been better. Let 977 00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:46,920 Speaker 1: me tell you this.
