Speaker 1: Cowboys dot com. Shaken Bay, we are back, but Rob Phillips,

23
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you start things off. Thirty one, twenty nine.

24
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: It was an instant classic that just came up short

25
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys overall last night. The NFL knew what

26
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: they were doing when they made this matchup. They knew

27
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: about the talent on both sides. And I know we've

28
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: we've we've dissected this team throughout preseason and there's some

29
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: spots where they're not deep, but at the top of

30
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: their roster, they've got some big time talent, especially on offense,

31
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: that can match Tom Brady and this defending champion Bucks team.

32
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: And they did it. You know that that they got

33
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: right to the edge, and man, that game reminded me.

34
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to bring the room down heck, but it

35
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: reminded me of that divisional playoff game against Green Bay

36
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen. Dax rookie year, he's going toe for

37
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: toe with the legend. Take my heart out one more time?

38
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: Why don't you no oh that's the Packer game. Yeah,

39
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: he goes a playoff game here at home. Yeah, he

40
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: goes toe to toe with the legend. And not only

41
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 1: is there's another play where you think you got a

42
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: strip sack on the on the quarterback. I don't know

43
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: how the hell that didn't happen for Dorans Armstrong earlier

44
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: in the game Jeff Heath against the Packers back then.

45
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: But you leave just a little bit too much time

46
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: for Tom Brady and he gets it done. M I'm

47
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: ticked off this morning. I'm so happy everybody else is

48
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: in a good morning. I felt that when I walked

49
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: out this morning, Heck, I didn't even speak to you.

50
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: You didn't and so I'm telling us about that's This

51
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: is a hard one. This is just a tough one.

52
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: And when you say the NFL knew what they were doing,

53
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: I think the NFL tried to offer us up to

54
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: Tampa and they didn't recognize that the Cowboys would come

55
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: into town and a lot of those questions were going

56
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: to get answered that we didn't know from the preseason

57
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: going into the regular season, and I think we realized that, Man,

58
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: all this talk about Dak and his shoulder was because

59
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: they were gonna unveil the Holliser on Thursday night and

60
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: he was gonna have an opportunity to throw it all

61
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: over the park. You know. The one thing that really

62
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: just disappointed me was the fact that we did not

63
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: at all stay with the running game, and I'm just

64
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: gonna point that out. That's the one thing about last

65
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: night that really was man. I was like, what's what's

66
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: at the end of the first half. I kept saying

67
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: to myself, are we literally just going to abandon the

68
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: run for the rest of the game. But you know, again,

69
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: it was a great matchup and you're absolutely right, the

70
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: NFL put to a spectacular first night of action and

71
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: couldn't be more happy about the production of the NFL

72
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: last night, but not the outcome. I think last night

73
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: was positive. I think last night was positive, and that's

74
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: why I'm not coming to being Debbie Downer. That's why

75
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: I'm not coming in here. Soul came on my head

76
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: down and feeling sorry for myself. Last night was a

77
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: positive thing. You just faced the World Champions who brought

78
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: back completely their entire roster and added more depth to

79
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: that roster, and they had all their firepower already for you.

80
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: And you went total toll with them last night. You

81
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: didn't get beat. You lost the game. You did not

82
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: get beat. You lost that game because you had opportunities

83
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: to take advantage of that you did not. We miss

84
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: field goals, we miss big plays. We gave up big plays. Right,

85
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: There is coverage, but we had blown coverage assignments. We

86
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: had bad matchups that we should have never been in

87
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: d Law versus Grundcows. There's a lot of things in

88
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: there that we that we had plenty of opportunities to

89
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: win this game, and we didn't do it. So we

90
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: lost the game, right, we gave it away. And the

91
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: fact that you can walk it out of this game

92
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: for the most part of healthy as far as I know, right,

93
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: Michael gallops gallops, Yeah, I mean yeah, I'm pretty sure

94
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: he'll be okay. Yeah, Right, So we walked out of

95
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: his game pretty healthy. And we know that we went

96
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: toe to toe with the complete champions to undoubted champions

97
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: in this league, aside from you know them in Kansas City.

98
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 1: Those are two dogs in this league everybody has to

99
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: be fearful of. And you know that you gave it away,

100
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: you should be feeling really good about where you're at

101
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: right now. Oh and by the way, your first round

102
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: draft pick is a dog. Michael Parsons was all over

103
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: the place. There were some lapses there and he looked

104
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: lost at times. But you're right. There's no such thing

105
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: as a more ogal moral victory, no, in the NFL.

106
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: But there are positives you can take out of a loss,

107
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: and there were plenty of top positives and one of

108
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: those was Dak Prescott. I mean, you look at the

109
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: way that he threw the football around forty two or

110
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: fifty eight, four hundred and three yards three touchdowns. But

111
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: I kind of want to keep that in mind when

112
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: talking about Heckma's point and abandoning the run. We saw

113
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: that early there were six rushing attempts in the first half.

114
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: There were eighteen total for the game. Why was that

115
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: the case and is that something we can expect moving

116
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: forward with Kellen Moore in this office. Well, look, I

117
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: don't want that to be the case because of what

118
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: you're paying Ezekiel Elliott. I think Kelly Moore was in

119
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: a situation last night where the Tampa defense was loading

120
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: the box. They were daring you to run. Vita Vey

121
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: was a complete nightmare last night, and you have McGovern

122
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: who is who did a great job, by the way,

123
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: but the interior of your offensive line was being tested.

124
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: I still think you have to make defenses, be honest.

125
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: And the Cowboys just saying, well, okay, you're gonna play

126
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: it like this, Well we're gonna Doude's gonna throw it

127
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: all over the park. And Dad did a really good

128
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: job of finding those mismatches in those coverages. Top Bowls

129
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: did a lot to try and confuse Dak Prescott, but

130
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: that may have worked on a rookie quarterback. And Dad

131
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: just did a really good job of manipulating the offense

132
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: and getting those extra yards in the past. Yeah, in

133
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: regards to the run, I think Kellen Moore has an

134
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: attention attention span issue, right, attention deficit when it comes

135
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: to run. He's comfortable with the pass and he was

136
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: in his bag. He said it in the postgame show

137
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: last night, Kellen Moore was in his bag that boy

138
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: came to play. I thought it was one of the

139
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: best called games I've seen from Kellen Moore. He did

140
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: an amazing job from the time, from the from the

141
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: beginning snap all the way to the end. He came

142
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: out with great formations, great shifts, motions. We did a

143
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: lot of twelve personnel. We talked about that this offseason, right,

144
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: a lot of twelve personnel because we have two guys

145
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: that can go out there and make it happen, not

146
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: only to give us opportunity to run the ball, but

147
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: to pass the ball. And we just abandoned the run.

148
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: You know, to your point, we abandoned the run. We

149
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: talked about it on this show last week. You're not

150
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: getting anything up up front, up the middle. It's a

151
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: wasted play. I said that, right, it's a wasted dog

152
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: on play. So when we ran outside, guess what zeke stretch? Stretch,

153
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: stretch or stretch. He put his foot in the ground.

154
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: And you saw the work he put in this offseason

155
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: and his explosiveness. You saw him put his foot in

156
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: the ground and get three, four or five yards at

157
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: a pop. Right, we saw Pollard in corporation of Pollard

158
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: being able to get the ball in his hands, getting

159
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: him moving. And then what happened. Kellen Moore, the add

160
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: came in and he said, I'm just gonna throw the ball.

161
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: It's not that we couldn't run the ball, is that

162
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: we abandoned it. Yeah, And I think one thing that

163
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: the way the game is change too. The short passing

164
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: game can function as a suffer the running game, and

165
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: they tried to do that, and they really tried to

166
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: attack the edges because like you said, hey, they didn't

167
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: want to run into a brick wall. And the thing

168
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: about this Cowboys offensive line, they're still very talented, but

169
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: there they were young up the middle last night on

170
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: the interior, and when they have been a great running

171
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: team the last few years. They had Travis Frederick at center,

172
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: they had Zack Martin at right guard. Zach obviously did

173
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: not play in this game because of COVID, and it

174
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: was just a different a different game for them. I honestly,

175
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: I thought both teams saw the same game offensively, Yeah,

176
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: they saw matchups on the outside that they loved. We'll

177
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: get into Tom Brady what he saw on the outside.

178
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: And you know, when Sean Murphy Bunting went down for Tampa,

179
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: they looked at and yeah, and they see the box

180
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: loaded said, look, we love our receivers, we love these matchups.

181
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: So I'm with you, like you don't want to fifty

182
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: was it fifty eight? Fifty eight pass attempts? I mean

183
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: that's that tied his career high for DAK that's that

184
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: is too much. But they found other ways to try

185
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: to agree. Mimic the run game with some short passing

186
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: game and hey, we saw some two back sets with

187
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard in there too. Based on this game, Tony

188
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: Pollard is going to get a lot more run than

189
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: he did last year. And I believe he should and

190
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: and I think he's a difference maker. And then you

191
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: look around the NFL, A lot of teams have that

192
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: thunder and lightning set from their running backs. Um, but

193
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: going back to what you said about the tight ends

194
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: and twelve personnel, Yeah, use twelve personnel when you have

195
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: tight ends that can block. You know, I think our

196
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: tight ends if you just spot like that, I think

197
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: Jarwin did a kind of mediocre job and blocking and

198
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: because but that's what I'm saying when you compliment the

199
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: formation is what I'm saying. I think that adds a

200
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: different wrinkle when you have guys that can actually block

201
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: and get you that extra So look, that was the

202
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: main thing for me. That was you know, when I

203
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 1: when I look back up looked at the game again

204
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: last night, I was like, man, we missed some opportunities,

205
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: especially in one on one matchups, the the option route down,

206
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 1: the flipout to to Zeke where jarwin. All we need

207
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: you to do is get that block man and Zeke.

208
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 1: You gotta win that one on You gotta if you're

209
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: one on one in space, you gotta win that matchup.

210
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: That I mean, it comes down to the red zone again,

211
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: Like they still missed their opportunities in the red zone

212
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: as good as they've been moving the ball, but I

213
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: just looked at the rushing statue real quick for Tampa.

214
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette had nine carries. Tampa had fourteen carries total

215
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: in the game. Cowboys actually had eighteen carries if you

216
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: factored four rushes by Dak. So it was just kind

217
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 1: of that kind of game. And honestly, the league is

218
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: headed that way too, where it's it's it's turning into

219
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: a track meet when you especially when you have two

220
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: great quarterbacks. And after this performance, I think Dack's in

221
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: that category for people to show for people that don't

222
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 1: think he is. He's in that top tier of quarterbacks

223
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: at this point in the NFL. I think no doubt.

224
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: I mean, that was a gutsy game from Dak Prescott

225
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: and then he's gonna have to be gutsy moving forward.

226
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about that in a little bit.

227
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: But I want to go back to the missed opportunities.

228
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: There were four points easy left off the port a

229
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: pat and a thirty one yard field goal that were missed,

230
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: and Zerline took took blame for that. After the game,

231
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 1: he was very upfront, he said, I can't miss kicks

232
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: like that. I mean, he made the big kicks, made

233
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: the big kicks. He missed those two and that's four

234
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: points off the board, and gosh, those four points would

235
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: have been nice later on. Yeah, I mean, yeah, everybody's

236
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: gonna point to Zirline. Right. You have one job to do,

237
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: and that's the kick, kick extra points and kick field goes,

238
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: and yes he has to score. He has to make those. Um.

239
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: Unfortunately he didn't. But that was not the only thing

240
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: and only opportunities that we had. Ceedee Lamb had what

241
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: two drops? Yep, Ceede Lamb had two exactly, So he

242
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: had two big drops. Um. You know, there were some

243
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: other past completions that were still left on the left

244
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: on the on the table out there, and I think

245
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: that was in regards to Dak and his hesitation to

246
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: really try to drive the ball in there. His timing

247
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,719
Speaker 1: was off in that first half, and we had a

248
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: lot of opportunities there. So it was a collective effort

249
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: in terms of opportunities. Um it, everybody's gonna point the

250
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: finger as zirline and I get it. I get it,

251
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: But don't be don't be just a fan being an

252
00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: analyst for a second and look at it and say,

253
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: there's a lot of other things that we could have

254
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: done that would have kept us out of a position

255
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: to where we needed those four points. So I'm gonna

256
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: be a complete fan here. So it doesn't matter because

257
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: the and I think the coaching coaches do that. You know,

258
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: you shouldn't have to rely on a kicker to win

259
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: you the game, but that's what they're there for. And

260
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: a lot of times you drive the length of the

261
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: field and you get close enough and you have a

262
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: kicker that you understand can get you that a thirty

263
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: seven yard field goal miss. Come, you can come on, bro,

264
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: excuse me, excuse me. Minus six you get. You'll get

265
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: no argument from me. Let's go back to the pat

266
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: you gotta get that. I mean, these are things that

267
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: are differences in the game, and let's just talk about

268
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: the fine points of coaching and just being able to

269
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: make end game adjustments things like that. And that's when

270
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: you look around the league, you look at coaching, and

271
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: you could recognize those coaches that make those adjustments in

272
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: game when we can't. I feel, your brother, I feel.

273
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 1: All I'm saying is just to address that question. It's

274
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: not it wasn't just Zeroline. We needed those points and

275
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: he should have had those points. Let's put that on

276
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: the cops battle. They did, everybody battle. But there were

277
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: other opportunities there work. There were plenty of other opportunities

278
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: that put us in a bad position. That's all I'm saying.

279
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: It was not solely him. Should he do his job

280
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: appster frequently, but that's not the only person who did

281
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: not accomplish what they needed to take care of. I mean,

282
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: I didn't expect him to miss a thirty one yard

283
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: or but I mean Russ or whatever. It seemed like

284
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: that's some kind of technical issue because he was pulling

285
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: the ball. He was going left until if you missed

286
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: the thirty one, then you come back and you've hit

287
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: the He was going to sixty after the guy just

288
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: mixed the thirty one? What else would you do in

289
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: that situation? Man, I don't know. I wouldn't pick put

290
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: the guy out there that just missed the thirty one

291
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: yard field goal to try and make a sixty yard

292
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: field goal. Gonna pun it, Man, you're gonna. I'm not

293
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 1: gonna put that guy in that situation. I don't. I

294
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: don't fault them for that, for attempting that. Yeah, I

295
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 1: really don't either. I don't. I don't. It didn't turn

296
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: up into points the other way, luckily, but it did

297
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: give an opportunity for it to turn into points the

298
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: other way. Yeah, that was my issue with it. Yeah,

299
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: it's it's Tom Brady's only needs a couple first downs

300
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: and there you go. So that's what we're talking about.

301
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: We're talking about what if. But that's what your whole

302
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: thesis is based off of. About what if? No no no,

303
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: no, no no, no. My thesis is on taking care of

304
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: what you're responsible for doing. That's what I'm talking about.

305
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: He didn't. Zerline did not take care of his job,

306
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: but he had not, and there were other guys that

307
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: didn't take care of their jobs. And because they didn't

308
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: take care of their jobs, it gave the other team opportunities.

309
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. I'm not talking about what

310
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: if scenarios. I'm saying CD should have caught those balls,

311
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: Zeroline should have made those field goals. Daks should have

312
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: been on time with some of the pass cousins. No,

313
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: but I'm saying, but if had they done what they

314
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: were supposed to do, those were completely Okay, That's what

315
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: I'm saying. That's their job, right, You're talking about Zerline,

316
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: his job is to make field goals. Dak's jobs do

317
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: the ball on time. CD's jobs to catch the ball,

318
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: our jobs to tackle, our job on special teams and

319
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: then not give up thirty yard freaking returns. You know

320
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So like, those are jobs, that's what

321
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: you're paid to do. And they and unfortunately, there was

322
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: a lot more than just those two kicks that guys

323
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: did not complete their complete their responsibilities. Yeah. No, I'm

324
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: just looking at the missopportunities and you miss you mentioned

325
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: and I think see on the first drive, I think

326
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: you could call it a drop by CD, but Dak

327
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: kind of left it a little short. We mentioned the

328
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: Zeke pitch out where they settled there in the red

329
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: zone there. You know, you get an interception at the

330
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay twenty one, you kick field goal. I mean

331
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: those are the kind of things you look back and

332
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: you're like, damn, you know, yeah, it is more than

333
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: the field goals for sure. Yeah. And you can look

334
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: at blown coverage on the defensive side of the football

335
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: on a couple of occasions. There are some veterans I

336
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: think at the cornerback spot that you might want to

337
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: take a look at. But we're gonna talk about that

338
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: coming up later on when we come back. How how

339
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: did Zak Prescott look in his return to action his

340
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: first game and eleven months, three hundred and thirty three

341
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: days put up four hundred plus yards. What did we

342
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: think about him and the offense in general? When we

343
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: return here with Talking Cowboys presented by Tostitos, Honey, Big News, Gary,

344

383
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:13,959
Speaker 1: a lot of sad faces around here. There's a lot

384
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: to take away from this game as positive. People got

385
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 1: to see the positive insurance situation. Yeah, a lot of

386
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: positive to see. We again, we lost. We lost the game.

387
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: We didn't get we didn't get scraped up. I think

388
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 1: fans have to look at this game and be like positive,

389
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a fun Come on, man, Yeah,

390
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: if we stay healthy, be excited the offense we have

391
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 1: and maybe the defense continues to get better. And like,

392
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: can I just say this real quick, yep, that the

393
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: weather was a factor, like the humidity. You saw a

394
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: post game pre game in the everybody. I mean, you

395
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: know Cowboys tried to mimic that out here. But the

396
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: defensive line they played every guy, I mean even Bradley

397
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: and I got ten snaps in the game. So I

398
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: thought they fought defensively for what they had to deal

399
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: with with the humidity and you know, missing some key

400
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: guys on offense. So can I say something everybody that

401
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: feels feels really sorry and sad right now TV twelve,

402
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: I can say as a teammate, he doesn't blow smoke.

403
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: Right when he's talking to the media, right Hill, Hill,

404
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: gas guys up, just just because that's what the Bill Belichick,

405
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: you know, new Patriot way of doing things. But when

406
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: he's interpersonally, he doesn't blow smoke. What did he say

407
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: to Dak when they went to go shake hands? What

408
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: do you say? You guys know what you guys said?

409
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: He said we'll see you guys again, Tom said. Tom

410
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: said to him, yeah, Dak said yeah, yeah, but Tom

411
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: guess what Tom said it too, We'll see you guys again.

412
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: That's a fact. Feel good about that. Feel good about

413
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: that from bro. Hey b we're talking about come on,

414
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: we're talk about We're talk about the greatest player of

415
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: all time. We're talking about the greatest player of all time. Undisputed, undisputed.

416
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: You have to you have to acknoledge the fact you

417
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 1: have to think, yeah, that's undisputed. You have to acknowledge

418
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: the fact that this dude respect he respected the performance

419
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: that put out. He know, they gave up opportunities. That's good.

420
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: They gave up opportunities that allowed us to even have

421
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 1: a chance to win the game. So let's let's let's

422
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: let's be honest. Both teams had mistakes that they don't

423
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 1: that they don't feel good about. Yeah, Tampa Bay ran

424
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: the ball less than we did. So I mean, I'm

425
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: looking at both of these teams and so it's not

426
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: a glass half full kind of situation we had. They asked, absolutely, Zad,

427
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: we was about to beat them, do you talk coming

428
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: here and you was about to have a long face.

429
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: We had a face you don't see me with on face.

430
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 1: You don't think TV twelve was mad about a guy

431
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: when dropping the touchdown. You don't think T twelve was mad.

432
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: You don't think he was mad about freaking Fournette dropping

433
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: the dog on easy path that he caught into a

434
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: two quarters later. You don't think he was mad about

435
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: that tip all interception. There's plays that they said too

436
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 1: that that would have put them in a better situation,

437
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 1: that would have opened up their lead. Oh, cowboys plus

438
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: three and the turnover, Come on, we've been asking it

439
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: for a pee. I know you could argue that they

440
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 1: should have won this game comfortably, or at least by

441
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: by a touchdown. We had we had two real takeaways.

442
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: We had two takeaways. We had two gifts, two takeaways

443
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 1: and two gifts right there, two of them were There

444
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: was two take Kazy had had to take away. De

445
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 1: Law had to take away both of those guys forced fumbles.

446
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: The tip ball Fournette, that's a gift. They fell filling

447
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: your hand, yes, okay, the hail Mary interception, that's a gift.

448
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: So we had two real takeaways. We have four turnovers.

449
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: We'll take it. How we get it. No, don't get me,

450
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 1: don't getting wrong. But we took the ball away twice

451
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: and we got the ball two other times. I agree

452
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: with you, Hail Mary, all right, hail Mary. But the

453
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: tips they count in football, that's that's tips and overthrows.

454
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: Got to get those absolutely. But guess what. You didn't

455
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 1: do anything to take that away from that person. The

456
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: ball fell in your arm, said gift. However it goes

457
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:27,360
Speaker 1: and we'll say that stuff turnover turns, come on, that's

458
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: being a fan. Turnover is turn that turnover as a turnover.

459
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: But if somebody drops the ball and it falls in

460
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: your arms, you didn't do anything to where do you

461
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: go in the column as an interception? It does? And

462
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,479
Speaker 1: I say that it turnovers a turnover, and where does

463
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: it go in the wind lost column? And goes in

464
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: the loss You could have put You could put little

465
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: heck Man in that position in the ball. He would

466
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: have caught that. I don't know. The only thing I

467
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: will say is there you know guys in the past

468
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: past defense is like I'm thinking about Xavier Woods, Guys

469
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 1: that had chances to make plays like that and couldn't

470
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: do it, didn't come up with it. So like Okay,

471
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: different teams, but yeah, you're gonna you're gonna took middle

472
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 1: school student and a tip ball. Would he would have

473
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 1: copped that. Accept your gifts, accept your game, accept your

474
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: gifts and guess what and put them put them in

475
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: a stat sheet, because guess what, No matter what, it

476
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 1: was four turnovers and you feel good. Even if it

477
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: was just two turnovers, I would still be sitting here saying,

478
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: good freaking job defense because we have an actually, we

479
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: have a character on that side of the ball. Now,

480
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: those guys were flying around, they were rotating in and out.

481
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: We talked about how are they going to cycle those

482
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: guys through? Their linebackers were coming in and out like

483
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: they were a freaking defensive lignement. Right, So if we

484
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: had a lot of positive things, what I'm saying, take

485
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: the turnovers. Heck, but don't don't. Don't say that you

486
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: that you earned that dog on that tip ball to interception.

487
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: It goes down as an absolutely it does. But you

488
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: didn't do anything to earn that. That's all I'm saying.

489
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 1: It's just it's amazing. It amazes me how the goalpost

490
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 1: moves when it comes down to what's it turnover? What's not.

491
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: What's a wind already said if we don't hear me,

492
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: I don't not. Now you hear me, but you're not

493
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: listening to me. Oh god, that's a great way. You

494
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: can't hear j heck mccarn't hear Jimmy as a white

495
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: man and jump reference for those that don't know what

496
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. You hear me, but you're not listening

497
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: to me. I use that in my house and I

498
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: sleep on the couch for at least a month, so

499
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: I appreciate that you have a nice couch though. Yeah

500
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: I do, But that's crazy. We were gonna talk Dak

501
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: Prescott in a segment segments half. I'm gonna push that back.

502
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do that in the final segment. We're gonna

503
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: keep it at defense. And you mentioned the rotation Cowboys

504
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: defense on the field Thursday against the Buccaneers. How about

505
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: the snap distribution from the linebackers and Michael Parsons fifty one,

506
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:35,199
Speaker 1: Neil fifty Jalen Smith saw sixteen snaps, saw sixteen snaps.

507
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: It's twenty five percent of the snaps after playing ninety

508
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: five percent or more in the past. Layton Vanderesh saw

509
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: fourteen snaps twenty two. When I think about that, I

510
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 1: didn't think it would be that like as much as

511
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: Tom and the Bucks spread everybody out. I mean, that's

512
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: that's their sub packages is counter Neil and Michael Parsons.

513
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: But I thought I thought Vanderesh might have more than

514
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: fourteen naps. But but they look, they played their nickel

515
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: and that's that's what they had to do again in

516
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: this in this matchup, it might change more, but it

517
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 1: may not because this is the way offenses play, you correct,

518
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: I mean this is the way the league's going now. Yeah,

519
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: so yeah, they matched personnel. I mean I would have

520
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: never I would have lost all my money if I

521
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: would have bet that that's that would have been a

522
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 1: distribution playing time. Um. But you know, to the point,

523
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: these guys the personnel called for a certain called for

524
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: them to have a certain personnel. And if you would

525
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 1: have put you know, vander ash and Smith out there

526
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: against some of the guys that we were facing last

527
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: night in more situations, there would have been more mismatches.

528
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: So I think the coaches did the right thing. It's

529
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: just we just didn't expect that. Yeah. Chris Collinsworth kept

530
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: pointing out those sub packages as well, and just saying

531
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: that anytime that that Jalen and Layton were on the field,

532
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: that was their run heavy h defense. And so I

533
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: think Tom actually noticed that as well and started getting

534
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: backs out of the backfield and you know, so those

535
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: things if I guess, as the game progressed, I kept

536
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: saying to myself, Look, Mike is doing a really good

537
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: job in the running game. Also, So if you're taking

538
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: this guy out of the game because you think he's

539
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: weak against the run, he's showing you otherwise. He was

540
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: shooting the gap doing a lot of great things. I

541
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: think look for a rookie linebacker, if you're gonna grade him,

542
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: you know it's gonna be a B minus based off

543
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: of where he was in past coverage. Uh. And a

544
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: lot of people were pointing out that Michael looked like

545
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: his head was spending and that's Tom Brady. That's Tom

546
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: Brady and not playing a game for a year also,

547
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: and that and all of that. But he but I'm

548
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: I'm saying as far as just him sideline the sideline,

549
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: his hustle, he's showing you that he is a dog.

550
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: But at the same time, coverage wise, he's gonna have

551
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: to clean that up Kean O'Neill, and look, these guys

552
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: are going against brounk Kowski and some one of the

553
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: guys one of the best tight ends in the game.

554
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 1: But you know, again, I think those matchups and where

555
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: they were defensively, when you talk about Tank being man

556
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: to man on Grunk in the goal line, you have

557
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: to have inside protection for your defense once you get

558
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 1: that close, and then when you may you go cover

559
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: zer Dahn. Tom made him, like Tom is a coach

560
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: on the field, and he made him pay. You're talking

561
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: about the safety blitz. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's not even

562
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: cover zero and safety dress. Tom seen that a couple

563
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: of times in his career. How many how many plays

564
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: did those guys have again, so it was fifty one

565
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: for Parsons, fifty for Neil, sixteen for Jaln s Manth

566
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: and then fourteen for Layton Banners sixteen and fourteen. Tampa

567
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 1: Bay had fourteen Russians. Yeah, yeah, and look, I mean

568
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 1: Jeron Curse gets forty snaps in this game, you know,

569
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: And so they're playing kind of three safeties, kind of

570
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: helping with the tight ends like you mentioned O. J.

571
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: Howard and Gronkowski. It was match personnel. That's what they

572
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 1: what they had to do. That's what dan Quinn said

573
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 1: he was going to do this offseason. He said, Hey,

574
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna play it like a basketball team. I mean, yeah,

575
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 1: we're gonna have positions, and yeah, we're gonna have starters.

576
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: And that's why it was surprised. Israel mccuama wasn't act.

577
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: How did you guy, How did you guys feel? I mean,

578
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 1: obviously there was so much drama in this game, but

579
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 1: how did you feel overall about dan Quinn's The defense

580
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: last way better than last year. Yeah, it was competitive.

581
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: My opinion, it was competitive competitive. I thought they flew around.

582
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: I thought, you have your guy at the cornerback spot. Yes,

583
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: Trayvon Diggs is a dude. Ye. I mean the way

584
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 1: that he locked down Mike Evans was pretty fantastic. I mean,

585
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: I gotta find the actual We're not even talking about

586
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 1: their best receiver. No, no, I mean because he wasn't

587
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: a factor. Well, well, no, you other three. You understand

588
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: aceptions for twenty four years we played, man, you understand

589
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 1: that Tom is gonna play pennatail on the donkey, right,

590
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 1: He's gonna find the weakest Lincoln that's what he did.

591
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: All they told all games, let's find I'm gonna take

592
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 1: what you give me at this point because I realized,

593
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: you know, Aidan's dad is over there locking down. Takes

594
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: the A and M guy. But you know, look, ab

595
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: and I'm talking about Antonio Brown. One hundred and sixteen

596
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: yards after the first half. That's unacceptable. That's unacceptable. It

597
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: is unacceptable as a defensive coordinator. However, as a defensive coordinator,

598
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: you told these guys, and you've shown them, we're going

599
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: to play man. I don't care what are who our

600
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: opponents are, I don't care what their personnel is. I'm

601
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,199
Speaker 1: gonna depend on you to play man to man and

602
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna challenge you as a man to get in

603
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: their grill and stick in their hip pocket. I don't

604
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: care who it is. And that's what they did. So

605
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: guess what. You took your best defensive back and you

606
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 1: put them on their best receiver, and guess what he

607
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: did a heck of a job. But then guess what, Unfortunately,

608
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,239
Speaker 1: this team number two receiver is really a number one

609
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: receiver and our number two dB is not a number

610
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: one dB. Right, So Antonio Brown versus Antonio I mean, sorry,

611
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown, ju I mean god Win versus Jay Lou.

612
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 1: I mean we talked about this. Their receivers are better

613
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: than our dbs. Facts, And when you play, when you

614
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: have that matchup and you decide to play man to man,

615
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: you're going to give up plays and you say, I'm

616
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: gonna take out your number one, your number one dB

617
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: stepped up and did that. Cou doze to you. Great job,

618
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: dig second year you took out Mike freaking Evans. That's

619
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: a heck of an accomplishment. But unfortunately there we don't

620
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: have another trade on digs on the other side, which

621
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: is why we talked about how we should have made

622
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: an investment into a big boy receiver that can go

623
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: out I'm a big boy dB that can go out

624
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: there and lock up the other side, didn't. We chose

625
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: not to. Those don't grow on trees though, and they

626
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,479
Speaker 1: don't grow on trees, and and it takes in the possibility, right,

627
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: We looked at the possibility and there really wasn't a

628
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: huge possibility outside of the draft. But but but to

629
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: my point, we were talking about off the air, name

630
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: a defense that has a number two cornerback that can

631
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: shut down Ab. Oh, wait, all Chris and god one's

632
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: like a one A receiver. Say this guy's got three

633
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: dogs out there. These aren't These aren't like okay receivers

634
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: like these are number one receivers on any other team. Yeah,

635
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: And if they're that and if they're that good, it's

636
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: as good as you're saying that they are. Obviously, this

637
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,959
Speaker 1: is going to be a repeat year for Tampa and

638
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: these guys are gonna get gold jackets at there. Because

639
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,959
Speaker 1: if you do one sixteen after the first half and

640
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: you're getting paid a salary to be a DBS coverage,

641
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: there's something coverage or not. I'm saying. If I pay

642
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: you to do a job and you're getting one sixteen,

643
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: you're getting baked at halftime. What's the adjust What do

644
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: you what do you do with that? Because because out

645
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: of the tunnel? Absolutely correct, But guess what you get

646
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: your you can't. What's what's the definition of of crazy? Right?

647
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: He's doing the same insanity, doing the same thing over

648
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: and over again. So if you guess what if you

649
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: keep stepping up to Ab thinking that you're gonna get

650
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: your hands on him at the line of scrimmage, try again.

651
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: If you think that you're gonna come up to ab

652
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: and just shade the inside because you think that you

653
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: got the sideline as your help on this particular guy,

654
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: man to man, try again. So if you're gonna get

655
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: torched every single time, so guess what? You might want

656
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: to play a little bit off. Maybe you might want

657
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: to play cover one. You co coach called cover one.

658
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm five yards off and I change up my

659
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,959
Speaker 1: linement a little bit. Maybe I change it. Maybe I'll

660
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: maybe I'll flash my hands and act like I'm gonna

661
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: jam them up up and just say hold him up

662
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: for a hot second. You have to try different things.

663
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: Guess what he may not his bag like Kellen Moore

664
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,959
Speaker 1: winning his bag. Guess what, Hey, Brown may not have

665
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: his bag. Isn't that deep? His bag's not that deep.

666
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown has been around for a minute. He's he's

667
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: he's baptized many guys. He's embarrassed many guys. And I

668
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I know you called for this last week,

669
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: but you know, look, Calvin Joseph's on IR for two

670
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: more weeks minimum. The other option is Greece Kennedy, who's

671
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: mostly been a slot receiver or slot corner. I'm sorry,

672
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 1: slot corner throughout training camp, in preseason and Nashan right,

673
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: so I gives up one sixteen say it's a rookie yard.

674
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: Let's say if you come out, say we meet these

675
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: guys in the playoffs. We meet them in the playoffs.

676
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: You can't play man to man. You can't do the

677
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: same thing and expect a better result just because it's

678
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: later on in a season. Your personnel can't stop their

679
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: personnel man to man. It's not going to happen. That's

680
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: the reality, is why they regardless of what you're getting paid.

681
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: He this was like, this is like looking in the

682
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: mirror honestly. I mean yes, I mean it's really the

683
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: same things that everybody says about the Cowboys every week,

684
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: like how are we going to game plan for these receivers?

685
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: It's why Tampa. I mean, Tampa's got the same same

686
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: matchup nightmares. That's what made this game so fun. I mean,

687
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: it's really the same, the same offenses in a lot

688
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: of a lot of regards. The difference for Tampa is

689
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: they've got more of a veteran defense with guys who

690
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: can really get after you, and the Cowboys are still

691
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: developing that with dan Quinn absolutely Even with Anthony Brown's

692
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: five receptions for one twenty one and Chris Godwin's nine

693
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: receptions for one oh five, they still were not the

694
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: best receiver on the field. The best receiver on the

695
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: fish shut down. No, are you talking about Coop? Was

696
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: talking about him? Yeah, Coop. I'm talking about what Coop

697
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: did last night and the way that he played. Ceedee

698
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:11,719
Speaker 1: Lamb had a couple drops, but he had a really

699
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: nice night as well. How did the passing game? Look,

700
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: I'll tease it again. We're gonna talk about it. Don't

701
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: you derail my seconds next time. Gentlemen, when we come back,

702
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: you're on talking cowboys. Hey, these boys can get paid

703
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: whatever they want to. You can't match up against these casts.

704
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: And that's why they won last year. Yeah, that's why

705
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,719
Speaker 1: their defense play well and their offense did what they did,

706
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: and you got tight ends and they got a good

707
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: old three title. Are we in the break? I hope so,

708
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: if not, we're still talking. You know, that's why they won.

709
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: That's why they won. They had They had a defense

710
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: that stepped up and played right. Their defense and their

711
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: offense did what they did. They create mismatches all over

Speaker 1: Chris Beam got home last night at four am, and

762
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: he was back up here by the man up here

763
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 1: by six. He is a legend. So we want to

764
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,359
Speaker 1: give the props to Chris Beam and everybody who showed

765
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: up to work this morning and are joining us early

766
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: in the morning on talking cowboys. Let's talk Dak Prescott

767
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: forty two of fifty eight ties, a career high in

768
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: passing attempts, four hundred and three yards, three touchdowns, the

769
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,919
Speaker 1: one interception that ironically might have been the best throw

770
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: of the night that he had. I mean, he put

771
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: it on the money into triple coverage right in the

772
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: middle of the hands for Ceedee Lamb went off his

773
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: hands and then was intercepted subsequently. But a good night

774
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,399
Speaker 1: statistically for Dak Prescott. Rob What did you see from

775
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: him in his first game in over eleven months. I

776
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 1: can't express really how impressed I was with it, because

777
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: it's not just the numbers. And yeah, I mean, I

778
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 1: know y'all mentioned that maybe there's some some plays early

779
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 1: in the game where he was still kind of feeling

780
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: a rhythm or trying to get into a rhythm. But

781
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: you just think about how long he missed and how

782
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: much time he missed in training camp, and he goes

783
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: out there against that quality of a defense and is

784
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 1: just kind of unfazed. You know, the touchdown, I think

785
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: it was the first touchdown pass to Amari bad snap

786
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: by Tyler Biads, No big deal, you know, pick it

787
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: up and let's go. And even you know, he wasn't

788
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,879
Speaker 1: wary of running. You know, they used him a little

789
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:00,959
Speaker 1: bit in the red zone with some with some zone

790
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: reads stuff like that done in the past. That's a

791
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: top five Dak Prescott performance that I've seen in his career.

792
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: And I need to go back and watch the game.

793
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: It might be higher just because of because of the

794
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: team that he was facing. Where he's been m really

795
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: really impressed Isaiah. Yeah, I think, I mean overall in

796
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: in his entirety, I believe that Dak had had a

797
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 1: good game. I really do think that he had a

798
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,839
Speaker 1: good game. He came in, he battled, he was made uncomfortable,

799
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 1: and being uncomfortable, he still found a way to make plays.

800
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 1: We all know that he didn't want to run the ball.

801
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 1: We knew that Dac didn't want anything to do with

802
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: it having to get off the pocket and run. But

803
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: guess what, he did it because it was necessary. We

804
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 1: knew that Dak didn't want guys jumping around his ankle

805
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: right and coming in on his knees. But guess what,

806
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: he still sitting in the pocket and delivered the ball

807
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,479
Speaker 1: now in the first half. I will be the first

808
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: one to say that he was not Dak in the

809
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 1: first half, I think, and I think he was in

810
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: his own head in terms of what he was able

811
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: to do his the velocity on the ball. I don't

812
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 1: care all you get, all the fans and everybody was

813
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: can curse me out all they wants. The velocity was

814
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: not there. Balls were dying out. And again this is

815
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,800
Speaker 1: a very analytical quarterback perspective that I have. Yeah, but

816
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 1: you played the position. Balls were dying out, right comebacks,

817
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: the balls where we're not on the right location, fade routes,

818
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: the balls were in the wrong you know, wrong shoulder.

819
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things like that that most people

820
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: don't see that I saw in the second half. He

821
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: was thinking more about the game situation. The game situation changed, right,

822
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: it was a lot more intense. So guess where his

823
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: focus was. It was on moving these change it was

824
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: on these other things. Not to say that he wasn't

825
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 1: thinking about those things in the first half, don't take

826
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: that literal. But he was more focused on the game situation.

827
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: So the last thing he was thinking about was what

828
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,760
Speaker 1: his shoulder. Last thing he was thinking about was his ankle.

829
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: I don't think he was really ever, ever, really bottomized,

830
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 1: but I think but I think in the first half,

831
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,919
Speaker 1: the shoulder was in his head, and I think his

832
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: his velocity, his accuracy, some of those things in that

833
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: first half. I think he wished he had some of

834
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: those passes back. But we saw that velocity change, and

835
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 1: you can go back and watch the timeline of the

836
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: game as the game progressed as you go into the

837
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 1: second half. That but that thing has some sting on it, right.

838
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: He was driving the ball into holes. He was making

839
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 1: passes that you were like, oh, first half, he was

840
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 1: that ball when't even had a chance. So it changed

841
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: and he became better as the game progressed. So kudos

842
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: to Dak overall. Heck of a game, heck of a

843
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,720
Speaker 1: battle time that he had off all that stuff to opponent.

844
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 1: Absolutely great job, Dack. I don't want to cut you

845
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: out on behalf of the fans. Yeah, you know, I

846
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: just felt like, you know, Dak came out and Tom

847
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: Brady too. I think both of them showed rust in

848
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 1: that first quarter. But I thought Dak he was a

849
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 1: whole dog in the first half. He found open receivers.

850
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 1: You're talking about location and you're also talking about mechanics,

851
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: and I think those naturally are things that quarterbacks in

852
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 1: their first quarter are going to struggle with it. Maybe

853
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty four days away from playing football,

854
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: that's the byproduct of it. I can go with that.

855
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: But I think as far as just his the mental

856
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: aspect of his game, I saw no slippage in that

857
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,240
Speaker 1: the rust that we were expecting to see, I didn't

858
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: see a whole lot of because he capped off the

859
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: drive with a touchdown and you saw him do all

860
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: the things that you were wondering could he do after

861
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: he got hurt against the Giants, I think he answered

862
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: those questions for you right off the bat. Second half again,

863
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 1: he made all the quality reads. Look, Ti Bows threw

864
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,240
Speaker 1: a lot at Dak. He wanted to test him out early.

865
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 1: And I know, I'm like everybody else out there that

866
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: when Dak was pressured in the pocket, you're like, oh,

867
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 1: you know, get your legs out, guys holding on to him.

868
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,439
Speaker 1: I just feel like mentally he showed that he man,

869
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: that's one tough son of a gun. And for him

870
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: to go out and play the way that he did

871
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: with that gruesome ankle injury, not really in his head

872
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: and play and you say he didn't want to run,

873
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: He ran four times just so he did it when

874
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: he needed to and it wasn't like he took it

875
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: out of his repertoire like you would have seen like

876
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 1: Alex Smith and for the Washington football team out that

877
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,760
Speaker 1: he had his industry injury, which was both gruesome, but again,

878
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: he didn't want no smoke. He didn't want to get

879
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: out there and get out in the open field. But

880
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: Dak just showed you that he's deal has it. And

881
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 1: I loved his game. I love the way that he

882
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: battled back. I loved everything about what I thought. Mentally,

883
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 1: it was one of the best performances I've seen from

884
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: a quarterback because you think about everything that he went

885
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 1: through this offseason, you think about the ankle, and then

886
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 1: turn around the first padded practice he comes out he's

887
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: got a shoulder injury. I'm with Isaiah and I had

888
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: a great conversation last night on Twitter, And by conversation

889
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: I mean I was pretty berated by a couple of

890
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: fans who had great points, and I completely agree. But

891
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: I saw the same thing. In the first half. The

892
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: ball was dying out, the velocity wasn't there. In the

893
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,919
Speaker 1: second half, he was able to just rely on coming back.

894
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: He had to just play football again and it was

895
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 1: an opportunity to do that. And I thought Kellen Moore

896
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 1: called a hell of a game to be able to

897
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 1: keep it underneath that Tampa Bay defense. Whether that was

898
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 1: because the defensive line in the front seven was getting

899
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: pressure or whether that was just the fact that he

900
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 1: couldn't press the ball down the field. But I'll I'll

901
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: tell you these stats. I look this up because of

902
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: the conversation. Dak Prescott last night through six balls beyond

903
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 1: twenty yards, which is a significant drop off of a

904
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: percentage of his throws that were beyond twenty yards out

905
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,399
Speaker 1: in those excuse me, and it was seven throws. In

906
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: those seven throws, he went two for seven with that

907
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: touchdown on the right side to Amari Cooper, and he

908
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: had the interception which was actually a really good throw

909
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,399
Speaker 1: over the middle that was dropped by Cede Lamb. Just

910
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 1: sixteen of his fifty eight pass attempts last night went

911
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,919
Speaker 1: more than ten yards down the field, and in those

912
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: sixteen balls, he was fifty percent, which is a thing

913
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,839
Speaker 1: where ten to nineteen yards as he's had in the past,

914
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: according to Next Gen Stats, he's usually right up around

915
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: sixty seven percent. He was at fifty percent last night

916
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 1: and included not as many pass attempts there as you

917
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 1: would normally see. I don't know if that's the case

918
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 1: because of the line. You were just trying to get

919
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: the football out quickly. However, I just think there might

920
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: be a bit of a timidness from Dak Prescott and

921
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: this offense to really stretch the field, because we didn't

922
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: see it at all last night. Some of it's the

923
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: pressure too, I mean, and some of it was by design,

924
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 1: Like I mentioned some of that stuff. I mean, they

925
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: were kind of using the short passing game to kind

926
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: of function as a surrogate running game where you're not

927
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 1: running into the defensive front and you're and you're stretching

928
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 1: him out. I think that was sort of what they

929
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 1: were doing game plan wise, And I liked what Drew

930
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 1: Brees said at halftime. He said, you know there, the

931
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys have a good game plan. They're keeping him off balance.

932
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: Just be patient, And that was the one thing for me.

933
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: The interception good throw, I mean in terms of the

934
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: velocity on it, but it was a it was an

935
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,319
Speaker 1: aggressive throw and it felt like he was pressing there

936
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: where he didn't have to. But if you noticed late

937
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 1: in the game, it seemed like the and I need

938
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,359
Speaker 1: to watch it again, it looked like the Bucks kind

939
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: of blitzed less and just went with front four. Some

940
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 1: of that's Viavea just pushing the pocket, but some of

941
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 1: that too, is is Todd Bowle saying, you know, he's

942
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 1: he's dealing tonight and we're trying to get home with

943
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 1: the blitz and it's not working because he's busting it.

944
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 1: I thought he was tremendous overall taking with the fence

945
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 1: gives you, and I think he played smart and he

946
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 1: was very resourceful in that way. And I think in

947
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,439
Speaker 1: your first game back, you have to be, especially knowing

948
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: the kind of the caliber of the defense that you're

949
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: up against. The one throw to CD lamb if that

950
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: was considered a gamble, I'll go with that. But it

951
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 1: hits CD in the hands, and that's the catch you

952
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 1: gotta come down with, even when you're in double coverage.

953
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: And I think CD even alluded to that after the game,

954
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: they like, he gotta catch that. You gotta come down

955
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 1: with balls that hit you in the hands. And I

956
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: think that, you know, I don't think that they came

957
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: out with a conservative game plan. They just came out

958
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: with a game plan of look, man, everything that they

959
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: give us, we're going to try and explore. And I

960
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 1: feel I felt like Dak did a really good job

961
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 1: of doing that and not pressing when he didn't have to,

962
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: and there were plenty of times in this game where

963
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 1: he could have made that mental error by trying to press.

964
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: He didn't, and that's a veteran move. He also did

965
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 1: other things by changing up his cadence and making those

966
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: guys jump outsides, recognizing coverage, looking off safeties, doing the

967
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 1: great things, and finding the man the man situation on

968
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: his offense. So you gotta give the gold star and

969
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 1: smelly stick at a number four for that as well.

970
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: He deserves all of that, he really does. It was

971
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,799
Speaker 1: a fantastic performance. And last night I think it was

972
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 1: more of the characteristic limit on Twitter that kind of

973
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 1: got me in trouble because if I could have put

974
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: the word early in my initial tweet, it would have

975
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 1: stayed with you from last night. Oh I did. Yeah, No,

976
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 1: I didn't sleep a whole lot last night because I

977
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 1: was thinking about it. You know, I slept fine. It

978
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 1: was the first half that that kind of concerned me

979
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:30,839
Speaker 1: a little bit. It was the second half that made

980
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 1: me feel a lot better about it. We're gonna see

981
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: going into this week how he looks against the Los

982
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 1: Angeles Chargers, because there's not gonna be nearly as much

983
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 1: as much pressure from an entire front seven. I mean

984
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 1: Boss is gonna get after him. I mean there's gonna

985
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 1: be some some guys getting after him as well. But

986
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: I want to see what the play calling looks like.

987
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 1: Will they stretch the field, will he be able to

988
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: throw a downfield with the shoulder injury, or like Isaiah

989
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,320
Speaker 1: said previously, is this going to be something that lingers?

990
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:57,719
Speaker 1: And that's not something I want to think about in

991
00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: terms of Dak Prescott because he put up the stat

992
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 1: but the eye test was a little shaky in the

993
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 1: first half. Second half was much better. Moving on, But

994
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 1: that's gonna do it for us here on Talking Cowboys

995
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 1: presented by Tostidos. So glad you've been with us here
