You know what that means, right, guys, 0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:41.840 let me tell you, let me say something. Let's say something. 0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:48.040 Let's say. That's all I got from the voices you're 0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:50.120 hearing behind me. Well, this is Kurt Daniels. We are 0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:53.400 hanging with the boys to some degree. I'm sitting here 0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:56.480 in the big boy chair because we're doing another mix 0:00:56.480 --> 0:00:59.880 and match day. Got Isaiah standback on one side. Glad 0:00:59.920 --> 0:01:03.120 to have you on board, sir, and and Nick Eaton 0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:05.880 and also nikod night Nick, good night. How are you 0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:09.200 guys doing today? Good man? Yeah, woke up. That was 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:11.399 a good start. Yeah, that always helps. It is a 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:14.120 great start. That is that the motto. That's it. You 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:16.600 wake up, it's a good start, and you're off to 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:19.520 a you're off to a good day after that. It's 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:22.480 all on you. N That's true. I mean I cannot 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:26.240 argue with Yeah, yeah, no doubt the bar I mean, 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:28.400 and also the bar couldn't be lower. I mean, like 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:30.760 that's awesome. You wake up when I go up from there? Yeah, 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:33.760 men hit by a car. But I mean, you know, 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:39.320 woke up times nice. Well, how did you guys feel 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:42.199 when you woke up? Because Isaiah, as you said before 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:45.759 we started show, a lot happened yesterday, didn't really happen 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:47.640 much around here. Yeah, a lot happened when there was 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:50.480 not one star that showed up on dog on news. 0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:52.720 There nothing nothing about the Dallas Cowboys should have been 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:54.520 the news in that regard. I know there was some 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:58.360 news in terms of Dallas the team yesterday, but um 0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:01.080 in terms of signing anybody off or getting any trades 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:03.560 or there was no action. And I can't say that 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:07.480 I'm surprised. I can say that I'm disappointed simply, and 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:09.280 I think to be disappointed it means that you have 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.320 to have a some level of expectation that's not meant 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:14.320 and you know, so I guess I have slight disappointment 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:16.680 because because I didn't expect them to do anything, but 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:18.800 I wanted them to really do something. I really wanted 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.320 them to pull a move that was going to put 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.359 them over the edge and really give them that advantage 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:25.359 and that extra push to go down, to go down 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:28.480 the stretch like so many other teams seemingly are right now. 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:31.720 And I think this one this year feels more. It 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:33.960 feels more like teams are really going after it. After 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:36.440 seeing what LA did last year, I think teams are 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:38.919 now more willing to give up picks. Teams are more 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.840 willing to sacrifice what so called their future to go 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:44.520 after the bag, right, because that's ultimately what you're playing for, 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:46.600 planning for the future that never comes. It's not a 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:49.280 strategy in my in my opinion, and I think LA 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.080 showed that, and I think other teams now are really 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:53.880 jumping on that bandwagon. But you know, to that point, 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:55.320 I know one of the positions we were talking about 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:57.440 was office a line yesterday and that didn't happen, none 0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:59.560 of it. None of it happened, but receiver as well, 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:01.480 so them not to go out there and get a receiver. 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:03.959 I think that also gave Dallas fans a bust of 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:05.919 confidence in terms of where James Washington must be in 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.240 terms of his health. Yeah, and that and also how 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:10.360 they how they've used certain players. I mean, there's some 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:12.840 reports that they were close to making a couple of 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:15.960 trades here and there, or at least one in particular 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:19.120 with Houston. But you know, I think at the end 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:22.440 of the day, money, money played a factor, and also 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:24.760 kind of what I talked to him before about what 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:27.040 are you looking to do for your whole room if 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:30.440 you do this with CD and and and gall Up 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:33.160 and of course Washington and all that, and so I 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.240 don't think there was anyone out there that they thought 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:38.720 they needed to come in and kind of it'd be 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:41.200 one thing to fit in. But I think for what 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.080 it was going to take for some of these other moves, 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:45.600 it was gonna have to maybe flip it upside down, 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:47.040 and I don't think they were ready to do that. 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:50.080 I think, so, yeah, flip it upside down. As far 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:53.640 as the chemistry in the room, yeah, I mean you'd 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:56.240 be paying a guy, you'd be paying a guy per 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:58.400 year as much as you're paying all of them combined, 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:02.360 and production wouldn't have matched. Then you look at other 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:05.040 moves that were made, like you know, the Bears got 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:08.840 h Claypool from um the Steelers. I mean, you could 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:10.840 look at that and go, why couldn't we have done that? 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:12.800 But you know, would you have wanted that a second 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:16.320 round pick? I mean, yeah, that's that's what I'm saying. 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:18.520 I mean, like, but would you have maybe for some 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:21.360 other the deal they were talking and here and there. 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:24.640 I don't think you're looking I think he's looking at 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:28.000 a first round pick. Really. I think the price was high. 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:31.760 The price was high, um, and then money was high. 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:34.720 And think about it like that. You can always be worked. 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:39.120 It couldn't have been worked before three o'clock apparently yesterday. 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:42.039 But also you're looking at it too, like what this 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:45.039 does for your cap. You've got two defensive players that 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:49.400 are going to break the bank and when you pay 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:52.520 your first round pick. That's what's the beauty of it 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:54.640 first round pick is that they don't make a lot 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.360 of money right off the bat, but if they would 0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:59.440 have made a move like like you know that's been 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:02.440 talked about you yesterday with Houston, you are paying next 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:05.640 year's first round pick a lot of money, which you 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.440 kind of count on having that player, you know, at 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:10.919 this this level right here. That's what happened with with 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:14.360 Cooper when they traded for Amari Cooper the next year 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:16.360 and the year after. I mean, your first round pick 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:18.159 is getting a lot of money, and that's what makes 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:22.200 your cap go upside down. So you brought the name up, 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:24.240 so I'm gonna bring him up now. But I think 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:27.599 I think what happened with Amari Cooper back in the 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:31.200 spring overshadowed kind of what is happening. It's making everything 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:33.719 now worse. I think that that deal just looks worse 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:35.640 and worse and worse the further we get down. And 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:39.400 so I think the fact that Cowboys fans are now seeing, 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:42.400 you know, not only did you bring somebody in, but 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:44.479 you let's you know, yeah, a second round pick for 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:47.400 Claypool and you got a fifth for Cooper, a top 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:50.880 ten receiver. I mean, it's just overall it but it 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:54.640 just doesn't look good. But the reason why that that 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:58.480 happened is because of the contract that I don't mind it, 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:00.680 but that's no. But that's the reason why there's a 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:04.040 difference in in the fifth and the second rounder. That's 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:07.800 that's why his value wasn't higher, because they're having to 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:12.080 absorb this huge contract that the Cowboys paid for. And 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:14.120 that's why the brown that's why the money. It's not 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:17.400 like they were just saying, oh, well, all these other 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:20.160 receivers are better when you when you do a trade 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:23.080 like that, it's the money that you're having to absorb. 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.680 That's why they didn't get a whole lot of value 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:28.080 for him. But I agree with you all, not a 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:30.280 good move. I never wanted to trade to Mark Cooper 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:32.479 far was a cow was never. I didn't like it. Yeah, 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:34.440 and that's I mean, it's a dead horse that I 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:36.240 shouldn't be even bringing up to beat on. But ed, 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:39.360 I think it just fancy that then and then they 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:42.080 see what happened didn't happen yesterday to just kind of 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:47.440 will he's still playing Yeah, yeah, he's playing well. And 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.520 with who's set I mean yeah, I mean you would 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:52.600 like to think he could have been better. I think 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:54.440 it makes the other guys better. He's such a good 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:57.360 route runner, I mean he's yeah, he's a dude. Now 0:06:57.400 --> 0:07:01.360 you you mentioned um kind of the chemistry aspect, and you, 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:04.160 if I heard you right, you were sort of living 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:07.799 in that to the receivers and yeah, you'd be paying 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:09.800 one guy maybe as much as you do all the 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:11.600 other guys. But how do the other guys look at 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:13.920 that in the room? I mean, is your defensive guys 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:17.560 sitting there going why why this offense needs it? You know? 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:19.280 Why didn't we do something here? Is it? Is it 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:22.520 our players looking at that as I think they look 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:25.760 at it and understand the dichotomy of the of the 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:29.160 team in terms of where is the weight being placed. 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:32.280 You understand now as a defender, if you didn't already know, 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:34.440 you already knew as a defensive player on the Dallas 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:36.200 Cowboys that you were bearing the weight of this team 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:39.200 right now. You had the hope that they were going 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:41.480 to start figuring it out. And you also had the hope, 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:45.200 based upon your depth chart issues right now at certain positions, 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.920 that they would have tried to help themselves out, right, 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:50.239 Because right now everything's hope. We hope that our offense 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:51.760 are is getting back to where they were last year. 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.200 We hope that somebody's receivers get healthy, right, We hope 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.160 that everybody that gallop gets back to being what he 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:59.080 was last year. Like, it's a lot of whole hope, tyrants, tyrants, 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.640 the whole tyrant. You knows, hope is not a strategy. 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:04.040 Hope it's not a strategy. So I think as a 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:07.040 defender on this team, you're like, all right, it's on us. Yeah, 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:09.120 it's on us. You know, we have to start finding 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:11.240 ways to create turnovers like we did last year. We 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.280 have to start figuring that out because right now, for 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:16.120 aside from last week, our team hasn't not put up 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:17.800 a lot of points. And you can't put a lot 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:19.880 of weight on last week. I mean, they're a professional 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.320 football team. But it's the Bears. Yeah, you know, but 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:24.440 I mean they were number one and you know, with 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:26.360 top top three in the league in past defense. So 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:28.520 that was the accomplishment in terms of what you did there. 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:30.840 But overall, you're right, you chop it up as this 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:32.400 is the Bears, right and do we have it? And 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:34.840 you have no choice but to start making comparisons to 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:37.680 some of the teams that you're going to face that 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:39.960 you have already face. You talk about the Philadelphia Eagles. 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:42.560 You see what they're gonna do offensively, you know they're 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:43.920 gonna be a problem. I don't care how great your 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:46.480 defense is, They're going to still get some points. It 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:47.920 just is what it is. And you want to be 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.440 prepared on the opposite side of the ball to be 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.840 able to make up for that for that gap. I 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:55.680 think Hope is a strategy, really, I really do a 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:58.240 good one. I think that's that's the way we live 0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:01.080 our lives. Honestly, I think we do. I look out 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:04.120 of that way. You do have to hope, especially when 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:07.440 in a contract situations like this with money involved, you 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:10.319 hope that these things fall into place and and and 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:14.120 because that's again that that's how we live. You know, 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:16.360 when you're driving down the street on four way stop, 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:18.040 I mean you're hoping this guy and this guy stopped 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:19.960 and hit the top sign. You know, you're hoping that 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:21.480 the plane lands when you do. I mean that's what 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:24.360 you hope for. I mean, that's the strategy. That's how 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:26.640 you live. And you hope that Tyrn Smith I paid 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:28.680 this money. Hope he comes back. I hope James Washington 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:31.200 is what he is, because we've already invested into it 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:35.360 um and and you don't want to just get it 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.640 I get it from Nest stampoint. I guess that when 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:42.080 you when you are in a position to control the outcome, Yeah, right, 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:44.280 when you're in a position to control one element of 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:47.560 the of this equation, you would like to think that 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:51.000 your your organization would do so, especially coming off of 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:53.679 last year. They have history to look at, right, you 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:55.640 have history. Now if you if you didn't have anything 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:58.160 to look at it, you had no no, you know, perspective, 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:00.360 then that's one thing, right, But you literally just look 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:02.640 back six months, yeah, you know, look back and see 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:05.560 what happened, right, what happened. You had an amazing team, 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:07.520 Your team was healthy. You couldn't have dreamed to be 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:09.319 healthier than you were going into the playoffs. You couldn't 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:11.040 have dreamed to have, you know, your offense playing better, 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:13.440 like everything was going to wait that you ever write 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.640 it up, and it still wasn't enough. Right, So understanding 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:19.120 that and understanding that you're not even where you were 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:23.000 last year as a team, you would have liked to 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:25.760 see some moves made. Yeah. Yeah. And I think though 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:29.520 that if this would have happened like a couple of 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:32.439 days later, I think maybe Cowboy fans would have said, 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:34.880 all right, well they did something. I mean, they did 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:37.040 go get Hankins. And I think I don't think that's 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.679 a bad move because, like you said, you're going back 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:41.920 to the forty nine er game. They got their ass 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:43.560 beat in that game. They got beat up at the 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:46.880 line of scrimmage. I don't think he's just one guy. 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:49.160 But I don't think they're gonna be moving him around, 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:52.080 I think. And they drafted that way too. They drafted 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:55.320 bigger guys, tougher guys. They tried to go for size 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:57.319 that way. I don't know about the offensive side of 0:10:57.360 --> 0:10:59.920 the ball. They're not really bullying people around on offense yet, 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:03.400 but they they try, you know, with Peters, and you know, 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:05.320 we'll see, we'll see how it all shakes out. But 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:07.679 I'm just saying I think they have tried to say, 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:10.679 all right, we got to be a physical football team. 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:13.160 That's why we got bounced in the first round last year. 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:15.680 And I think they've made an effort to think they're 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:18.600 more physical now. I do. I think that they're They're 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:21.320 more physical their offensive line, though, I mean I think 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:24.839 it's it's I mean, they drafted Tyler Smith. I mean, 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:28.400 he wasn't ready to be like a polished tackle guard, 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:31.880 but he's a big, big man. Strength is what he's 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:34.760 got and he'll develop into that. But you know, he's 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:38.240 not getting pushed around. He's getting some technique here and there, 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:39.800 and he has some penalties, but I think as far 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:43.440 as strength goes, he's they've added strength with him so. 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:45.719 And I'm not in the front office, obviously, but it 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:48.760 feels as if some of these teams in around the 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:53.640 league are piecing together their teams based upon what they 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:56.080 may face in their division and what they may face 0:11:56.160 --> 0:12:00.240 in their conference going towards the playoffs, right, And that's 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:02.160 how I see like a lot of these organizations now 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:03.840 are kind of scheming their team like, okay, all right, 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:05.880 we're forty nine ers for saying, okay, let's go out there. 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:08.600 Let's how can we just make things impossible for defenses? Oh, 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:10.760 let's get him a cap free, right, Okay, think about 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:13.360 the affility of the Eagles. How can we make Dallas one? 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:15.280 We know Dallas likes to run a lot of play action. 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:16.880 How can we just take away their running game? Well, 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:19.200 let's just load up the front end the big boys, right, okay, 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:20.880 and then guess what, that's not enough. Let's go out 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:22.840 there and get a defensive end out there that can 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:26.240 go chase after that. Teams are literally piecing together teams 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:29.600 to handle the organizations and handle the franchise that they 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:31.640 know that they have problems with and that they need 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:34.720 to take down. And I feel like everybody is starting 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:38.080 to do that, but Dallas, I don't feel like Dallas 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:41.800 has put together now. Defensively, Dan quinn Is is a 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:44.280 genius and in terms of pass rushing, you force any 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:46.920 team to throw the ball, then you you're in a 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:50.120 great situation. But in terms of what we do, what 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:52.640 teams do in the NFC East, they run the ball, 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:55.880 and I don't think that they have done enough there 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:58.600 to overthrow that. And if you know that you can't 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:00.240 stop teams running the ball, then you or on the 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:02.080 other side of the ball being able to score, to 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:04.400 keep up to give your defense a chance. And I 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:07.720 don't think that they've addressed it in that in that regard. Yeah, 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:10.760 with the last two playoff losses that they got ran 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:13.240 over literally one right over, and then we saw that 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:15.040 in the Eagles game when it was time, it was 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:19.680 go time in the fourth quarter, they just crazy. And 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:23.880 so yeah, I guess not. I just I keep going 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:25.520 back to the because I do think they've gotten more 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:28.920 physical and that Hankins move was definitely huge, But I 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.360 don't know it just I think the Hankins move was 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:34.440 directly because of that Eagles loss. Yeah, you know, and 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:37.040 it was did you see the splits on on the 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:41.440 average yards given up rushing with him. Yeah, it was 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:43.600 it was like two yards different. I was, and I 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:46.320 was tweeting this out, like, I mean he was active 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:49.000 for the game. He hadn't played yet. In that first 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.320 drive when when the Bears were scoring and they got 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:54.600 third and goal from the four or whatever, third and 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:56.480 two from the four, and they ran in Montgomery up 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:58.240 the middle for two, and I'm thinking, why is he 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:00.360 nine in the game. I mean, like, if you traded 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:02.199 for him, you've made him act him. He's got to 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:05.120 be ready to play. Why is he not here? I mean, 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:08.480 Digizo was getting moved over here, and I mean did 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:10.360 he play more than you thought he was gonna play. 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:13.160 I think he finished like thirty snaps or something like that. 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:15.800 He did. He didn't play early as much as I 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.200 wanted to get him. I mean, can play the snaps 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:21.200 you want, well, I mean first quarter or second I 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:23.400 think it a second quarter. It was like why why 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:25.800 give them a chance? I mean that's like this is 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:27.920 this is a tailor made play for him. I mean 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.080 third and goal from the two and they ran the 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:33.600 ball right up the middle. You know. So anyways, he played, 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:35.200 and he'll he'll get accustomed to it. I don't know 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:38.440 what all them, you know, reasons for different packages that 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:40.520 they have, but I do think that he's a guy 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:42.640 that will help them in the middle, especially helped him 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:46.040 on those RPO read options. Yeah, but again, as far 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:48.080 as as guys, you went through a few of these 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:50.920 trade deadline days, Guys in the room, it wasn't it's 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:54.560 you know, you don't feel that there's any remorse or 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:56.880 what happened, or we should have done this or that. 0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:01.360 I just think that I think, don't know, man, I don't. 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:03.320 I don't. We don't know what happened in the front office. 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:05.040 We don't, right, I mean, you know, you probably have 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:06.720 more insight than anybody in terms of some of the 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:10.080 things that happened. But you know, obviously they cut Tristan Hill. 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:11.760 I would imagine that you would have tried to they 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:13.400 didn't try to trade him. I'm sure they try to 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:15.440 trade him and they couldn't, right, That's how it works. 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:18.400 So I mean, but I don't know, man. I just 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:21.120 as a defensive player right now, I'm like, we need points. Man. 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:23.760 You know, we understand that we're beasts, we're dogs on 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:25.720 the side of the ball, but crap, there's gonna be 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.000 our there's gonna be those days. They're going to be 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:30.640 those days. And when those days are happening, we much 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:33.400 rather have a lights out offense that that that just 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:35.800 lights up the scoreboard and you have and you you 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:37.840 know that you're capable. That's the thing. A year ago, 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:40.840 you were literally the best team at that. They might 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:44.360 have that game against the Bears might have hurt the man, 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:47.320 hurt themselves. You know, like wait a saying we really 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.280 need to be We just scored forty forty two on offense, 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:53.880 forty nine points the Bears. You know, the Bears won't 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:56.440 be making the playoffs, you know, like there's gonna be 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:58.480 better team tams. They still put up some good points too. 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:02.440 Yeah they didn't, you know what I mean, like yeah crap, 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:06.120 yeah yeah yeah. I really believe that games take a 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:09.240 life of their own. I think sometimes, you know, like 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:12.200 that that Lions game, you know, when it was ten 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:13.600 to six and the fourth quarter, I think if the 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:16.440 Cowboys had scored twenty more points, I think the Lion score. 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:19.200 I just think sometimes you're sential urgency changes a little bit. 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:22.800 It's rare to get these forty nine to nothing. I mean, 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:25.440 when to one team is scoring, the other team scores, 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:27.200 and this is kind of the way the game goes. 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:30.240 The game a punk. Yeah, all right, Well, let's take 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:32.400 our first break. Um, maybe we'll move on to some 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:34.040 other things. Maybe we'll take some calls. You want to 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:37.040 give us a right eight five five two two nine 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:41.200 seven eight eight eight five two two nine seven. Um, 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:43.560 some other questions you mentioned, Tyron Smith, I might have 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:45.720 a question for you. We've been talking defense. Might run 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:48.280 through that a little bit more. So give us a 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:50.280 call and we'll be right back on hanging with the boys. 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:55.360 I'm Dak Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys.
