The second 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:19.600 thing is the penalties. 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:20.279 Guys. 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:23.440 They're the most penalized team the National Football League. It 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:27.520 has stopped the penalties. They had extended drives. They were 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:31.800 good yesterday Buffalo was they were good and you gave them, 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:34.800 you know, gave more opportunities and they beat you solidly. 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:37.640 This was a cream puff. Just beat them down. 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:38.320 Beat. 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:40.399 It was like Bud Crawford and we're gonna beat you up, 0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:43.000 beat you up, beat you up, send you home, beat up. 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:46.080 And there's nothing that you can say, in my opinion, 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:48.080 to make this thing look good. 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:48.880 It was bad. 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:52.960 It's bad, man, Daddy, Come on, man, it's gonna give me. 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:54.560 You're gonna give me first hour. You're gonna let me 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:59.400 get you know what you no lies told and everything 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:01.920 that you said you started off last week when we 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:05.240 went to what were our issues in this matchup, and 0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:08.080 that knew way you started with penalties. You didn't even 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:10.519 talk about what you thought maybe our ace and a 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:13.359 hole to get a win. It was we got to 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:17.520 stop the penalties, and finally we saw on three particular drives, 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:21.240 penalties extend drives and get us down twenty one to 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:24.040 three in the first half. We dug we did ourselves 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:27.359 no service in that matter. As far as the penalties, 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:31.160 and it seems to be the same guys around the penalty. 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:31.800 Flat every time. 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:35.120 It's just it's crazy how that happens. Right, never in 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:39.680 the accident, but always around the accident. Right, So call 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:42.520 them kas of sat You a usual suspect, find you 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:47.560 the It just happens that I don't know how, you know, 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:50.440 but every time there's trouble, you get near it, and 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:53.320 you know, I tell you what, man, you start to 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:56.079 ask your self questions about this defense. And that's what 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:58.960 for me that was the most shocking thing. The defense, 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:02.799 not making tackles, defense making bonehead plays. The same thing 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:05.520 that you were talking about last week, as far as 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:07.560 the te stunts and the way that you played, and 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:10.079 not leaving those gaping holes and on the back end 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.720 open for running backs to run through. You go into 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.400 the buffalo and you do the exact thing that you 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:17.200 knew last. 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:18.760 Week would get you beat. You do it this week. 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:22.239 And we talked a lot about James Cook, and I 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:24.640 don't think a lot of people really knew about James Cook, 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:27.960 but you know his name now and it was gonna 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:31.120 be on our linebackers. What were our linebackers gonna do? 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:35.440 And Danny, I can't wait to hear you your take 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:39.280 on guys that Marquis Bell and DeMont Clark because we 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.400 knew that they were gonna have their work cutout for them. 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:46.120 Set now, but you knew they were gonna have. 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:49.920 Their work cutout for them, and you saw Buffalo game 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:53.760 plan to put our linebackers in bad positions, and they 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:59.640 did it the entire game. Yeah, it was a very 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:03.080 tough game to watch and even even more difficult to 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:07.200 rewatch from the end zone perspective, right because as I'm 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:10.440 watching the game, I'm thinking, man, it's D line is struggling, 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.560 like okay, because that's naturally when somebody's running the ball 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:16.400 against you like that, and how the Cowboys have been 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:17.880 set up? Right, you go draft the guy in the 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.240 first round. D line has been struggling. We're trying to 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:22.000 figure out a way to stap the stop the San 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:23.599 Francisco type running attack. 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.279 And you say, okay, man, a D line just not 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:26.719 showing up. 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:28.599 And then you go watch the ultimately two you watch 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:30.120 from the en zone view and you say, wait, hold on, 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.640 you know they like they didn't play great, But I'm 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:37.000 looking at the linebackers in the safeties of hey, man, 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:41.200 are we a gap sound defense? Because we like, As 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:43.960 I'm watching it, I'm saying, all right, maybe we got bullied. Right, 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:46.040 that's the thing, man. They came out here and they 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:47.960 just ran up and down, up, up and down the field. 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:51.039 They bullied you, right, you couldn't hold point whatever. And 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:52.960 I'm watching the tape and I'm like, no, we just 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:57.599 we're out of position so many times. The same problems 0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:01.039 that we had against San Francisco, pulling guards, pulling tackles, 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:04.640 we're laid on reading those. Right, You're having two guys 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:08.479 in the same gap multiple times. He if the guard pools, 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:11.440 the A gap moves right. So now if you don't 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:13.240 go over the top, it's two guys in the A 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:15.200 gap and on the opposite side of the ball. You 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:18.279 don't have enough. And you saw it over and over 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:21.560 and over again. First quarter. They ran to the bubble 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:25.320 the entire first quarter, which is where you have the 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:27.760 B gap open. For those who don't know what the 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:30.960 bubble is, they just continue just running straight to the bubble. 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:33.880 Every time one four was over there. Michael Parsons over. 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:36.000 It didn't matter. It just continue running to the bubble. 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:38.440 And then dan Quinn tried to make some adjustments, and 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:40.680 then they figured out a way to run away from 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:42.799 the bubble to the bubble. They just started pulling guards 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:44.640 and tackles and we couldn't find a way to fit it. 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:46.360 And I think, to me, that was the story of 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:49.000 the game for the defense. It was, hey, man, if 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:51.960 you're not gonna show us that you figured out how 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:55.400 to stop what San Francisco did to you, we're gonna 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:56.640 come in here. We're just gonna make sure we do 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:58.760 it over and over and over again. And all through 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:00.640 the week, I talked to you all about Joe Brady 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.920 right and calling this offense. Now he wants to run 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:06.080 the football, and I just went back and I'm like, 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:08.279 you know what, I remember watch LSU in twenty nineteen. 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:11.039 I remember why Clyde it was Hilaire got drafted in 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.680 the first round because he found ways to utilize this 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:16.839 guy running the football and out of the backfield. And 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.320 now you got Cook out here who's doing the exact 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:21.960 same thing. That is the story of this defense. Safeties 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:25.160 didn't play well. Linebackers did not play well, you didn't 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:27.680 even give your secondary a chance to get out there 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:29.440 and make any plays because they didn't have to. This 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:31.600 is the second time we giving up two hundred yards rushing, 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:35.520 Like we are building the team to stop teams like 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:38.200 this in San Francisco from being able to put us 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:40.680 out of the playoff race, and that game right there 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:44.279 just makes you feel like we're not any not even 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:47.839 a step closer to being able to handle that, specifically 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:48.320 on the road. 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:53.360 So San Francisco one hundred and seventy yards of rushing 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:58.040 on the Cowboys, Arizona two hundred and twenty two yards 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:01.160 of rushing on the Cowboys in Buffalo two hundred and 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.560 sixty six yards. If you want to beat the Cowboys, 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:07.080 do what you said run to just run right there, 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:10.000 So that's one thing, and then watch them commit a 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.720 bunch of penalties and shoot themselves in the foot there. 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.960 And you saw, you know last weekend, you saw Nick 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:20.280 Bosa in front of his locker telling Cowboy fans like, hey, 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:23.080 you want to beat Philly, We're giving you the blueprint 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:25.240 on how to do it. Nobody from Buffalo went out 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:27.400 and said that, But like you just said, they're showing 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:29.400 you they're giving you a blueprint on this is how 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:31.200 you do it. In the same theme in that San 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:35.160 Francisco game, same thing in an Arizona game is blockers 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:40.320 being able to get to the second level our defensive line. Look, 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:43.760 I don't know how big the Hankins injury is, but 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:47.360 it looks significant yesterday. With the way that Monsie Smith 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:49.360 was playing in the middle, we just we couldn't find 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:51.800 an answer to them in the running game. Whether it's 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:55.520 the bubble, whether it's the tackle coming all the way 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:58.560 back backside and cracking back on these guys. 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:02.600 They couldn't figure it out. And for some reason we. 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:04.880 Dan Quinn has gotten away with it with playing Marquise 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:08.160 Bell out of position because, look, he's a lot faster 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:10.600 than people giving credit for it, and he can just 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:13.040 kind of run around the block. But when he has 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:16.560 pressure on him, there is nothing he can do. And 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.040 Damon Clark, to me, it's like I never looked at 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.160 him as being undersides. I know he's a big guy, 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.120 but when you're just getting scooped out of the middle, 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:27.280 you just getting scooped out of the middle. You're not 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:31.080 giving yourself an opportunity either. But I just got to say, 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:34.520 like when I see like a Jirrunk curse, there's a 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:39.840 play James James Cook is coming to basically to that side, 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:43.959 basically scream scream to that side, are basically sweep to 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:47.640 the to the white side, and you see durrun curse, 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:50.040 jerrun curse coming up. But at the same time he 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:53.319 takes a bad angle. And you see that multiple times 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:56.320 when you one on one safety with a running back, 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.480 and that's going to open the flood gates every time. 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:00.640 And like those are things that I'm one to you 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:05.160 and asking like maybe Dad Quince schematically may be wrong, 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:07.200 but he can't be drawing it up that bad where 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:09.520 you have an opportunity to get to stop and you 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:12.680 just take a bad angle over and over and over again. No, 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:16.320 I'm telling you it's it's guys not being gap sound 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:18.760 and I'm not I don't want to take anything because 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:20.680 I don't know exactly how it is right, but I 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:23.320 know if you're playing to run as a defender right, 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:27.040 and dan Quinn's scheme may be okay, the first player 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:28.880 that gets there has to hammer, which is they have 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:30.800 to knock it back in and they have to make 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:33.440 sure the ball doesn't get outside and outside, essentially setting 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:35.320 the edge. Now, if the guy that's coming in to 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:37.640 make the tackle on the inside is expecting you to 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.080 set the edge and you don't, your angle is bad 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:42.600 because now it has to change from you going inside 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:45.199 shoulder to now having a bubble around to go outside. 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.840 And you watch that film, it happened over and over 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:50.520 and over again. We're talking about where somebody expected for 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:53.120 you to hammer the ball back in and you were 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.440 coming into the sea gap and then they stick their 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:57.400 head in the sea gap. Now you have to try 0:09:57.400 --> 0:10:00.240 to replace it to the de gap is gone right, 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.559 or or somebody's crack blocking you on your outside shoulder. 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:06.120 You're supposed to stay inside of it with fight, but 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:08.240 you stick your head on the outside. Now, now the 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:12.400 sea gaps open and it's over and over and over again. 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:14.720 If you cut the fens, I'm telling you, it is 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:17.920 all over the tape. Great thing about it is, okay, 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:19.880 there's a there's a chance for you to say, all right, 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.880 all week, we're just gonna focus on run fence, because 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:25.760 that is what killed us in this game. Horrible thing 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:28.000 about it is you've been dealing with this for years 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:30.840 and you haven't figured out a way to handle teams 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:33.319 that are going to make sure that you are sound 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:36.000 when you're pulling guards and pulling tackles. The problem that 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:39.120 I seen with Dimont Clark and Marquis Bell is they 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:42.720 just late. So Mark you, I won't say he's undersized, 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.640 but if you're late in the in the a lineman 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:48.240 has a chance to get in position and you're still 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:49.720 trying to figure out where you're supposed to be at, 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:51.160 you're gonna look like that all the time. 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:54.120 You can't, can't, you can't be right. I'm seeing them. 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.320 I'm seeing them dropping in the past, drops when it's 0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:58.000 a pulling guard and you're supposed to be going to 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:00.440 the other side of the formation. Like that's how That's 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:01.079 how off. 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:02.240 They were in this game. 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.440 And hopefully you can get that fixed because you got 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:06.720 Miami and you got Detroit. And what we know about 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:08.480 both of these teams is they can run the football. 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:11.160 They can run the football and oh yeah, by the way, 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:14.640 in the playoffs, you're gonna play teams possibly on the 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:18.079 road they're specialized in running the football. 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:21.040 So I mean, yeah, you got some work to do, man, 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:21.840 got some work to do. 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:25.880 Moster e cheam coming up in the South Florida. Yeah. Yeah, 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:28.200 it's a problem. Is it is a big problem. 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:31.960 Coach Soul came from that Shanahan tree, so he's going 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:33.800 to run the ball. They're committed to running the ball, 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:35.640 and they have speed on the outside. 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:39.560 The Cowboys have questions. 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:41.160 They've got to get answered, and they've got to get 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:44.320 some answers real quick, because getting on the plane to 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.079 go down to South Florida on Christmas Eve is coming 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:49.520 up real quick. By the way, we were all wrong 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:51.680 about this game except Barry Church. 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:53.320 And this is the day he's not here to glow 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:54.800 about it, which is. 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:57.440 Pick the Bills twenty eight to twenty four. I went 0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:01.680 Dallas twenty four to twenty three. Heckman, you went seventeen fourteen, Danny, 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:04.440 you went Dallas twenty four to twenty one. 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.840 Yeah, man, yeah, man. 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:10.559 One thing about when he pick against the Cowboys, he 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:11.400 usually be right. 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:12.040 It's logic. 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:12.760 It's logical. 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.760 And you know, so when we left, when we left here, 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:21.000 that was that was when I got the whole weather change. 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:24.040 It's gonna be raining. I'm like, oh oh, because we 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:24.520 were already off. 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.480 There was it was in the media match that they 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:29.640 were just in the locker room talking to the Bucky 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:33.120 and about how he's got all the gear changing everything. 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:36.319 It's like they it's going to be bad, Like oh boy, 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:37.000 oh boy. 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:37.120 So. 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:43.120 Was it bad? From from watching it were like on TV? 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:45.560 It just it didn't look bad like the Carolina, not 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:46.840 at the start. 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:49.760 But then once they you know, once they they put 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:51.360 it in the second quarter started coming down and then 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.719 it was just okay, you can't throw, you're behind, you 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:57.200 can't throw. We know you have to throw. Its rainy, 0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:00.240 and it just it just wasn't fitting it. And look 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:04.080 they it was. This was the the while. It wasn't 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:08.200 the cold cold Buffalo wanted. This was just good. You 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:11.040 know it's it's rainy weather. We got you down. You're 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:13.160 shooting yourself in the foot. You can't stop the money 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:14.320 we got you on the road. 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:16.040 And and I. 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:18.720 Don't know about you guys, but I felt like once 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:22.839 that that third the personal file ledge was touched on it. 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:25.679 They not only can you not beat them, you out 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:28.599 here beating yourself. This is done, This is right, This 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:32.400 is just done. You can't beat them and you're helping them. 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:36.000 You can't win like this. It's for me, it's frustrating, 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:38.559 just frustrating and and dog going it. 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:42.480 Man, you know you was upset with Sam. Come on, 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:45.680 come on, you was upset with Sam. 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:48.880 But I think I think we're talking about the same name. 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:51.640 But listen, but. 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:56.319 Before we get the special teams, like, I just want 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:59.520 to we all did sit in here, Okay, I think 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:01.000 all of us did, or most of us. I'm not 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:03.319 sure who didn't, and we said, hey, listen, the key 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:05.920 to to victory in this game is you want to 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:10.160 make sure that you put everything on Josh Allen. All Right, 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:14.360 make Josh Allen beat you with his arm or whatever 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:17.160 it is. Make sure it's Josh Allen. If you don't, 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:19.720 this is the type of game you're gonna have. If 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:21.520 you let these dudes come in here and run the 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:25.520 football against you, you're going to have a very long day. 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:28.120 Well, it definitely wasn't on Josh Allen because he was 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:29.119 seven for fifty. 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:34.200 Got the game ball, got the game ball, dude, go 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:36.440 out there and river for one seventy. You get a 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:39.000 game out to the quarterback? Yeah you sure what he said? 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:41.120 What he said? Listen on the video. 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:44.240 It was like I felt like I passed it, got 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:45.560 an A on a test. How didn't do nothing. 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:47.240 He telling the truth. 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:48.720 Yeah, why would you do? 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:51.080 I didn't do anything to day. I just handed it 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:52.920 off ran a couple of times, you know, I mean 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:55.720 it was easy for him. This It was basically a 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:58.520 laughers what joshaid, it was a laugher. And you know what, 0:14:58.600 --> 0:14:59.880 I'm fooled again. 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:03.160 That's my fault. Fooled again, fooled again. I went back 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:05.280 here to the sheet of integrity, back here. 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:07.000 At the beginning of the year, I had as a loss, 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:10.560 I had this, I had you know what, and this, 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:11.800 This is what I had going down. 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:14.520 I had a win against Philly. Then I had a 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:15.400 loss at Buffalo. 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:18.240 Then I had a loss at Miami, had a win 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:20.960 against Washington and a win against the Detrouge. So I mean, 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:22.920 right there, man, right there, I had to two l's 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:23.840 had twelves. 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:26.720 Man, I got to sit eleven and five, right, No, 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:30.720 that's you must have six eleven and six. I had 0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:31.800 twelve and five, I think. 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:34.520 And originally you went twelve and five. 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:36.560 And then and then I think I switched that up. 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:39.920 So originally you went twelve and five, hect whan you 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:42.600 went thirteen and four and then Church and I were 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:44.920 sitting here at ten and seven. That's what originally when 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:47.600 the schedulings came out, that's what we were sitting at here. 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:51.440 And then I had changed I changed mind to think 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:52.680 I went twelve and five. 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:54.960 But this this this game. 0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:58.880 The thoughts that I had before I should have stayed 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:01.160 with it, which was this is a tough place to play. 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:07.560 And then we went off there when I found when 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:09.360 I heard about the rain, I was like, man, this 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:12.920 is bad because this is it just it just didn't 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:17.160 I didn't like that sense of just the elements because 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:17.800 they like to throw. 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:18.880 They're throwing team. 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:22.080 Yeah, well they did the same thing in Philadelphia, and 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:23.800 look at the games that they played against Philly. It 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:26.120 was a wet, rainy game and they still had a 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:28.320 commitment to try and throw the ball. They tried to 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:30.600 go with James Cook, and Philly did a better job 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:34.160 of stopping James Cook than obviously we did. They didn't 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.080 have to, they didn't have to change that game plan 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:38.560 because of the weather. They had already saw Brady your 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:42.000 what Brady the office coordinat he was just checking off, like, oh, 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:45.280 y'all not stopping that backside check, y'all not stopping this 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:46.400 outside run check. 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:49.760 Oh oh you're not. You're not getting any help over 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:51.240 here for number four to check. 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:54.800 And as the game started to go, you just you 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:57.680 started seeing certain things that they were doing where here 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:00.480 get they're getting to the second level when nobody's evening them. 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:03.120 He's getting he's getting on that last on that last 0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:06.400 TV run by James, the ugly one, the ugly one 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:09.240 that that was like, that was the whole game in 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:12.879 one play. We could do nothing, changing directions, head back 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:14.960 the other way. There was nothing that we could do 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:16.760 about them. And I'm telling you it's like one of 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:19.639 those games that I'm sure that nobody is wanting to 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:21.720 sit in film study and see that. Well you better, 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:23.840 all right, you better. You know that's a bad place 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:25.760 to be. You better cut that film on and say, hey, 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:26.960 this is what happens when you do that. 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:28.720 Stand in your gap. This is what happens when you 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:29.760 are not gap sound. 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:31.399 It makes it look like you and I think got 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:34.280 punched in them out and essentially to me, you are 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:37.600 just out of position, like you are not playing discipline football. 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:39.879 As far as hey man, we gotta we have to 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:42.200 earn the right to rush the passer. It looks like 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:44.800 you are past rushing on rundown. You know that they 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:46.840 want to run the ball. They got one hundred and 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:48.359 fifty on you already. 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:50.159 And gods to run the right by the right back. 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:53.960 Ain't no more pass rush. Like it's over, It's no 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:56.000 more pass rush. So I just put your head in 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:58.399 your gap and make sure that the ball comes to you. 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:02.160 You there to make the play. They just couldn't figure 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:03.720 out a way to get that done, which is like, 0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:06.200 are you just hard hited or it's something that you're 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:07.720 just not gonna be able to change, because if not, 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:10.400 you're finna have a rough next next two games. 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:11.600 Because the two teams that. 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:15.760 You were about to play specialize, okay, and being able 0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:18.640 to run the football, and they both got two big 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:20.719 time weapons to be able to do it both up 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:24.280 Man got two, but Detroit got too. 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:29.680 They got Gibbs in Montgomery. Yeah, they don't run the ball. 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:32.200 Oh oh, by the way, they also have a top 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:34.640 five receivers on each one of those squads. Yes, Oh, 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:38.399 and don't forget the tight end. I mean, I mean 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:41.919 easier you just like I understand you saying, hey man, 0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:46.159 you feel a way about it because the weather and 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:49.639 how it may be. No, I did not expect us 0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:51.560 to come out and give up two hundred yards plus 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:56.119 rushing and one seventy plus the one player. Yeah, the 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:58.159 offense could come out and be a little shaky, but 0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:00.720 then I'm figuring, okay, both teams are trying to step 0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:02.760 up on defense and play play a little bit better. 0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:05.479 I never would have expected our defense to come out 0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:07.320 and get that type of running performance up to. 0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:09.000 Cook, we trusted him. 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:14.159 I know, I still trust dan Quinn, but I mean, goodness, 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:16.760 that like that, that's something that you we've been trying 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:19.840 to figure it out. That's trust, right, that's trust right there, 0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:24.360 you you dug ya. I mean, listen, listen. The percentage 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:26.360 of games that the defense is played, well, it's still 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:29.360 higher the percentage that they've not been able to play 0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:31.760 as well. Even in the playoffs, we haven't played. Blamed 0:19:31.800 --> 0:19:33.640 it on the defense not being able to do something 0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:35.639 against the forty nine ers. We're like, hey, where's the 0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:38.119 offense at this time? You hold the forty nine ers 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:40.560 to twenty one twenty four points, you assume that this 0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:42.320 is still going to be a close game because the 0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:44.720 defense kept you in it. So I'm still gonna trust 0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:48.280 dan Quinn in that aspect of like he it hasn't. 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:50.280 It hasn't been the reason that we came out of 0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:52.680 it saying, oh man, well yeah, we don't have no shot. 0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:55.440 It's it's the other side of the ball. Who've I've 0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:57.440 been looking at and saying, Okay, in the big time games, 0:19:57.480 --> 0:19:59.959 we need Dag and Tony Pollard and the cd lam 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:01.960 to be able to show up in those situations and 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:03.080 make those big time plays. 0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:05.159 So I still trust them. But it was that's a 0:20:05.320 --> 0:20:07.359 it's a it's a rough go man. 0:20:07.400 --> 0:20:09.879 Two hundred plus rushing man multiple times in the season 0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:12.320 and then a little under two hundred against US A 0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:15.960 Frand you're trending, he's trending, and you look at the 0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:17.440 games that you just said it the games that we 0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:19.000 lost is a common theme there. 0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:21.760 Yeah, runner, let's take a break. 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:23.200 Let's take a break. 0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:28.520 Let's do it now.

They sent you to close your tail 0:23:51.440 --> 0:23:52.520 out into forty five. 0:23:52.800 --> 0:23:54.080 Yeah, go to a brunch place. 0:23:55.560 --> 0:23:57.560 Yeah, you've done it. 0:23:57.640 --> 0:24:00.399 Too, done it too, Dak Prescott tw they one to 0:24:00.440 --> 0:24:04.439 thirty four, one thirty four yards and interception touchdown passes 0:24:04.520 --> 0:24:07.080 yesterday as the Cowboys go down thirty one to ten 0:24:07.240 --> 0:24:10.040 in Buffalo. There now in second place with a ten 0:24:10.119 --> 0:24:13.399 and four mark. Philadelphia takes on Seattle tonight on Monday 0:24:13.480 --> 0:24:14.040 Night Football. 0:24:14.240 --> 0:24:15.360 I'm on Seattle. 0:24:17.200 --> 0:24:19.639 Brock Party with a nice day for the forty nine ers. 0:24:19.720 --> 0:24:22.000 Christian McCaffrey the next day for the forty nine ers. 0:24:22.080 --> 0:24:30.400 So Dak Prescott's MVP candidacy took a massive hit yesterday. 0:24:31.520 --> 0:24:32.240 Massive hit. 0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:38.919 In my opinion, Are you a correct You are already 0:24:39.000 --> 0:24:41.520 on the Christian McCaffrey train about it? Okay? 0:24:41.640 --> 0:24:44.440 And what he did yesterday? No, listen, but we, like 0:24:44.480 --> 0:24:46.680 I said, we know it's a quarterback driven you know whatever. 0:24:46.960 --> 0:24:50.480 That performance definitely didn't help, didn't help. Massive hit. But 0:24:50.640 --> 0:24:52.479 that's the thing about the NFL. You go out here 0:24:52.480 --> 0:24:55.240 and you do it against Miami, you do it against Detroit, 0:24:55.560 --> 0:24:58.080 then you're right back in because Brock Party have a 0:24:58.160 --> 0:25:00.280 bad game or Christian McCaffrey. 0:25:00.119 --> 0:25:02.840 It's fluid, that's it. 0:25:03.359 --> 0:25:05.960 You go. So he has and he has an opportunity 0:25:06.000 --> 0:25:07.600 to still go out there and do what he needs 0:25:07.640 --> 0:25:09.560 to do. But to me, that's the least of your 0:25:09.600 --> 0:25:11.920 words at this At this you need to figure out 0:25:11.960 --> 0:25:15.080 how to finish the month out strong, the season out strong, 0:25:15.160 --> 0:25:17.199 because at this point where you five seed looking at 0:25:17.359 --> 0:25:19.840 going on going on the road again. 0:25:19.840 --> 0:25:21.320 Probably twice back to back. 0:25:21.800 --> 0:25:24.159 Yeah, like you need to figure out a way to 0:25:24.359 --> 0:25:26.719 make sure that your team is going to show up 0:25:27.119 --> 0:25:28.960 on the road and be able to play because you 0:25:29.000 --> 0:25:30.879 put yourself in position to have to go on the 0:25:30.960 --> 0:25:33.359 road to win the playoff game, multiple playoff games, probably 0:25:33.400 --> 0:25:35.960 throughout whatever run you plan on making to get to 0:25:36.000 --> 0:25:38.399 where HECMA. He just can't stop saying it. Man, you 0:25:38.400 --> 0:25:42.159 don't worry, it'll stop coming up and stop saying it. 0:25:43.200 --> 0:25:44.880 But yeah, know that is rough, But I still think 0:25:44.880 --> 0:25:46.760 he's I think he has a shot. Like this is 0:25:46.800 --> 0:25:49.240 the Dallas Cowboys is gonna be primetime football. You're gonna 0:25:49.240 --> 0:25:52.200 get two more opportunities to play against really good football 0:25:52.280 --> 0:25:54.800 teams to show that you deserve to be you know 0:25:54.960 --> 0:25:57.240 in that m v P. Right, so opportuniti you's got 0:25:57.240 --> 0:26:00.520 two playoff teams right here coming up. This vision leader, Yeah, 0:26:00.560 --> 0:26:04.560 this is what your expectation, I think. And Dak was Okay, 0:26:04.640 --> 0:26:07.399 the defense doesn't have it. Can Dak and make the 0:26:07.480 --> 0:26:10.200 plays to get us over the hump? There were opportunities 0:26:10.280 --> 0:26:12.639 in the game that you saw one big play to 0:26:12.760 --> 0:26:14.320 Brandon Cook that didn't happen. 0:26:14.520 --> 0:26:15.280 You laying that one. 0:26:15.520 --> 0:26:19.400 You're still on the runway for talking about the MVP conversation. 0:26:19.560 --> 0:26:22.480 I look, I always thought from the beginning the people 0:26:22.520 --> 0:26:25.399 were not sincere about this whole Dak MVP. They were 0:26:25.440 --> 0:26:28.160 just wait building him up to bring it right back down, 0:26:28.320 --> 0:26:30.479 and as soon as he has a bad game, they 0:26:30.600 --> 0:26:31.720 want to remind you all, this. 0:26:31.760 --> 0:26:35.240 Is bad Dak. This is Dak throwing an interception, he's misreading. 0:26:35.359 --> 0:26:38.000 Can he read all the different things that guys like 0:26:38.320 --> 0:26:40.440 won't even say their name on the show, but guys 0:26:40.520 --> 0:26:44.000 that repeatedly look at every mistake that these quarterbacks make. 0:26:44.359 --> 0:26:46.760 But when I look across at this whole MVP waste, 0:26:46.760 --> 0:26:49.199 so guys like Purty, he's having a hell of a year. 0:26:49.280 --> 0:26:53.320 Four touchdowns yesterday, two hundred and fifty yards. He's playing 0:26:53.400 --> 0:26:55.440 within the constructs of that offense. And whether you want 0:26:55.480 --> 0:26:57.920 to call him a game manager or whatever you want 0:26:57.960 --> 0:27:00.080 to call him, he's good enough at doing it that 0:27:00.160 --> 0:27:01.920 he does it well. And at a high level, and 0:27:02.000 --> 0:27:04.320 that offense when it's running, it looks like no one 0:27:04.480 --> 0:27:08.359 can beat it. Our offense yesterday, which to me I 0:27:08.480 --> 0:27:11.639 didn't see happening because whether it was the rain, whatever 0:27:11.720 --> 0:27:15.080 it was, we just couldn't get any type of rhythm 0:27:15.160 --> 0:27:18.120 going yesterday. Once we got down and it was clear like, look, 0:27:18.160 --> 0:27:20.720 we're twenty one to three and a half, we're gonna 0:27:20.720 --> 0:27:22.920 have to lit certain things about the running game go 0:27:23.200 --> 0:27:25.560 all right, unless it's gonna look like garbage time, but 0:27:25.760 --> 0:27:28.000 we have to get those connections between the tight end. 0:27:28.080 --> 0:27:29.879 We have to get the short running, and they were 0:27:29.920 --> 0:27:33.119 sitting on it. They were waiting Buffalo pretty much in 0:27:33.200 --> 0:27:35.600 that second half. We made that game plan easy for 0:27:35.720 --> 0:27:38.919 them because everything that our go to they were standing 0:27:39.000 --> 0:27:41.200 right in the gap and there was no way that 0:27:41.240 --> 0:27:43.639 we could get any rhythm. There was no more continuity 0:27:43.720 --> 0:27:45.879 and Mike McCarthy's play calling and there was nothing he 0:27:46.040 --> 0:27:48.359 was fooling the other defensive coordinator with. 0:27:48.880 --> 0:27:50.680 Yeah, I think that was off a little bit. Yesterday. 0:27:51.040 --> 0:27:53.400 I think Buffalo did a good job of playing playing 0:27:53.520 --> 0:27:58.040 zone defense and taking away the specific routes that Dad 0:27:58.160 --> 0:28:02.400 and CD Cooks and everybody that they had been being 0:28:02.520 --> 0:28:04.720 really successful on for the last five or six weeks. 0:28:04.760 --> 0:28:06.520 They said, hey, listen, we're gonna make sure we're gonna 0:28:06.560 --> 0:28:09.160 we're gonna play zone, but we're gonna lean our zone 0:28:09.480 --> 0:28:11.679 to your the route concepts that you usually run. We're 0:28:11.720 --> 0:28:14.240 not just gonna run the regular coup of three. We're 0:28:14.240 --> 0:28:16.440 gonna say we usually run seams. So instead of you 0:28:16.520 --> 0:28:18.159 being right here on the hash, we're gonna get you 0:28:18.200 --> 0:28:19.920 two yards out to make sure you carry that and 0:28:19.960 --> 0:28:22.160 see if they have something else to be able to throw. 0:28:22.200 --> 0:28:24.639 And I think they played really good football when it 0:28:24.720 --> 0:28:27.520 came to taking away specifically what we like to do 0:28:27.680 --> 0:28:30.120 on offense. And then also with that Dak being out 0:28:30.280 --> 0:28:32.600 off a little bit, then the offensive line kind of 0:28:32.600 --> 0:28:35.040 struggled a little bit here and there you lose Zach Martin, 0:28:35.280 --> 0:28:37.520 and it was just like the perfect storing for our offense. 0:28:37.600 --> 0:28:40.920 But I want to give Tony Poller some credit because 0:28:40.960 --> 0:28:43.800 I thought that he was running the football really well, 0:28:44.400 --> 0:28:46.680 like what you expected to see out of Tony Poler 0:28:47.000 --> 0:28:48.920 coming out of last year and into this year, a 0:28:49.040 --> 0:28:49.880 healthy Tony Pouler. 0:28:49.920 --> 0:28:51.120 I was like, oh yeah, all right, here we go 0:28:51.560 --> 0:28:55.360 five six, seven, seven. I like to see it. 0:28:55.400 --> 0:28:57.640 So I want to give him a shout out. But yeah, man, 0:28:57.680 --> 0:29:02.280 I think Buffalo offensively, defensive and on special teams. Wow, 0:29:02.520 --> 0:29:05.280 not so much special, I mean offensively and defensively. They 0:29:05.320 --> 0:29:07.360 had a really good game plan for what we had 0:29:07.400 --> 0:29:10.200 been doing really well over the last five or six weeks. 0:29:10.280 --> 0:29:14.000 And Ed Oliver from Houston, Texas. Yeah, yeah, Westfille High School. 0:29:14.000 --> 0:29:15.320 That's my that's my school right there. 0:29:16.000 --> 0:29:20.120 Ed Oliver. I didn't know Ed Oliver. 0:29:20.520 --> 0:29:23.880 I mean, once he's up, we were talking about but 0:29:24.040 --> 0:29:26.200 we were talking about other guys, Vaughn and all those 0:29:26.200 --> 0:29:29.200 guys that they got going. But man, Ed number ninety 0:29:29.240 --> 0:29:32.240 one is a headache in the middle and he is 0:29:32.400 --> 0:29:35.160 hard to deal with. Two people one didn't matter who 0:29:35.400 --> 0:29:37.880 was on him. He was just clogging up everything. We 0:29:38.000 --> 0:29:40.440 did a good job of maneuvering around him because he 0:29:40.560 --> 0:29:43.120 was not allowing us nothing early in the game. All right, 0:29:47.680 --> 0:29:49.680 go ahead, man, contemplation. 0:29:50.000 --> 0:29:51.800 Go ahead. I want to know what you thought about 0:29:51.800 --> 0:29:52.280 the offense. 0:29:53.520 --> 0:29:57.680 I thought about the offense. You thought Sean McDermott had 0:29:57.760 --> 0:30:03.160 something for him last week? This week the fan Jumanji. 0:30:04.120 --> 0:30:09.120 I can't wait to see Vic van Jel. That was 0:30:09.160 --> 0:30:13.080 the kell, That was the Kelling more that was print. Yeah, 0:30:13.280 --> 0:30:15.560 and that blueprint then following him all the way up to. 0:30:18.680 --> 0:30:22.040 Still working. They got that scroll scroll out there. 0:30:22.160 --> 0:30:23.840 They hang it up at all the restaurants and that 0:30:24.640 --> 0:30:30.920 blueprint is out. He ain't been the same since. No, 0:30:31.480 --> 0:30:33.920 So yeah, but no, it's gonna be another tough one. 0:30:33.920 --> 0:30:35.840 It's gonna be another tough one because I think I 0:30:35.920 --> 0:30:38.320 think that Buffalo is now put it out there to 0:30:38.440 --> 0:30:41.160 show you, listen, this is what they like to do. 0:30:41.680 --> 0:30:44.160 Make them do something else, all right, and we're gonna 0:30:44.240 --> 0:30:47.360 run our coverage, but it's gonna be kind of it's like. 0:30:47.480 --> 0:30:51.000 Customized right for your route, because said Rob. 0:30:50.880 --> 0:30:52.320 Brown used to do it all the time, and he 0:30:52.400 --> 0:30:54.680 would be successful in taking away certain stuff that you 0:30:54.840 --> 0:30:56.560 really like to do and then make. 0:30:56.480 --> 0:30:58.360 It force you to do other things. And that's what 0:30:58.560 --> 0:30:59.200 Buffalo did. 0:30:59.240 --> 0:31:01.520 Thus, so you got Fangio on that, and then you 0:31:01.680 --> 0:31:04.200 got you know, coach Sole who was with them two 0:31:04.320 --> 0:31:05.680 years ago in the playoff game. 0:31:09.000 --> 0:31:11.480 They ran They just from from the opening drive. They 0:31:11.600 --> 0:31:12.360 just ran. Man. 0:31:12.480 --> 0:31:16.120 So I mean coach coach so go get you know, 0:31:16.240 --> 0:31:18.160 he get fancy too, man. He tried to get the 0:31:18.200 --> 0:31:19.760 style points, got the shades off. 0:31:20.200 --> 0:31:22.560 But but you know what Christmas soul glow on him. 0:31:24.160 --> 0:31:25.600 He's but he is going to run the ball. 0:31:25.640 --> 0:31:27.920 You'd have to be stupid to come up against this 0:31:28.000 --> 0:31:31.040 Cowboys defense and not run the ball. I would the 0:31:31.160 --> 0:31:33.600 attention to detail or running the ball would be eight 0:31:33.800 --> 0:31:36.840 every single week, like you just said, until y'all stop it. 0:31:37.160 --> 0:31:39.560 You don't get a full dose of this every single week. 0:31:41.160 --> 0:31:41.440 Running. 0:31:41.880 --> 0:31:44.600 I'm never going to stop running the behind it never 0:31:44.680 --> 0:31:45.480 gonna stop running. 0:31:46.280 --> 0:31:48.000 Like why? Like why? 0:31:48.160 --> 0:31:50.840 But now, the thing is, it's not every run scheme. 0:31:51.560 --> 0:31:55.040 It's specific run schemes that Cowboys have issues with. And 0:31:55.200 --> 0:31:58.680 until they figure out a way to cover up that 0:31:59.080 --> 0:32:01.720 and make sure that they can read pulling guards, read 0:32:01.800 --> 0:32:04.520 pulling tackles, make sure that their gaps sound when you 0:32:04.680 --> 0:32:07.000 have those issues, because when you run, when you play 0:32:07.000 --> 0:32:10.000 against a team that runs straight zone like, it's easy, right, 0:32:10.040 --> 0:32:11.640 it's right in front of you already, I got I'm 0:32:11.640 --> 0:32:13.640 staying on the outside of this, of this shoulder. When 0:32:13.640 --> 0:32:15.960 you start getting pulling guards and counters and all that, 0:32:16.480 --> 0:32:19.440 then it switches. It's like on the run, you gotta 0:32:19.520 --> 0:32:21.640 be able to see, all right, my gap was here, 0:32:22.080 --> 0:32:24.160 he pulled. Now I got to get over the top. 0:32:24.240 --> 0:32:25.640 And if you're not, like I said, you're not fast 0:32:25.720 --> 0:32:28.000 enough or accustomed to doing that. Then you having a 0:32:28.040 --> 0:32:30.000 hard time covering covering those runs. 0:32:30.000 --> 0:32:31.720 All right, let's get a break here, come back, let's 0:32:31.720 --> 0:32:33.440 go over special teams, and we need to make our 0:32:33.480 --> 0:32:37.960 Monday night pick as the Philadelphia Eagles are at Seattle 0:32:38.000 --> 0:32:40.680 and they've made some major changes in the coaching operation 0:32:40.840 --> 0:32:41.920 there in Philadelphia. 0:32:42.280 --> 0:32:46.640 Barry Church like Maharrison, Newie scrugs, Danny McCrae. 0:32:48.080 --> 0:32:49.800 Yeah, Church ain't here. 0:32:50.520 --> 0:32:52.160 I just I just but you know what, Church is 0:32:52.240 --> 0:32:53.160 just texting me his pick. 0:32:53.880 --> 0:32:56.160 Yeah, yeah, he's not here though, But I just gott 0:33:03.720 --> 0:33:04.120 I hate you. 0:33:07.000 --> 0:33:09.880 To kick off the twenty twenty three NFL season, Hugo 0:33:09.960 --> 0:33:12.840 Boss teamed up with the NFL and Micah Parsons to 0:33:12.960 --> 0:33:18.960 launch an iconic apparel collection featuring hoodies, crews, T shirts, polos, joggers, 0:33:19.040 --> 0:33:22.360 and more.

Everything lead to feed hand spread out, not 0:39:51.200 --> 0:39:54.720 running through like everything that you would all the exits. 0:39:54.760 --> 0:39:56.919 You know, you have those posters and it's like don't, don't, 0:39:57.000 --> 0:39:59.360 don't and then do do do when you get your instructions. 0:39:59.640 --> 0:40:02.560 He did all the dun'ts on that. And I'm saying 0:40:03.040 --> 0:40:06.880 you you you got a chance to really change and 0:40:07.000 --> 0:40:11.680 pain there in a positive way, and instead because you 0:40:11.800 --> 0:40:13.680 did not do what you were because that type stuff 0:40:13.680 --> 0:40:17.000 to get coaches fired, like not Fossil, I'm not saying that, 0:40:17.120 --> 0:40:19.479 but like, oh man, this dude is he not coach? 0:40:19.600 --> 0:40:22.440 Will not no, no, they told you how to do it. Okay, 0:40:22.520 --> 0:40:23.920 But for some reason you went out there and you 0:40:24.000 --> 0:40:26.640 lost your mind when you got through there, maybe too excited, 0:40:26.760 --> 0:40:29.040 whatever it was, and then you and then not only 0:40:29.120 --> 0:40:31.880 did that happen, then you missed it all right, at 0:40:31.920 --> 0:40:34.160 least if you're gonna do all that wrong and you're 0:40:34.160 --> 0:40:36.680 still in a position to make the play to go out. 0:40:39.600 --> 0:40:43.759 You know that jump through missing in this pow over 0:40:44.320 --> 0:40:47.600 first down the other way touchdown game. 0:40:47.600 --> 0:40:48.120 And that and that. 0:40:48.320 --> 0:40:50.839 See, an unfortunate part about that is when you play 0:40:50.880 --> 0:40:53.680 special teams and that has become like what you have 0:40:53.800 --> 0:40:55.560 been known for now because you did block a pun 0:40:55.600 --> 0:40:58.440 and you're playing gunner. It erases all the other good 0:40:58.480 --> 0:41:01.080 stuff that you've done, and people's like, you can still 0:41:01.080 --> 0:41:03.239 be a really good especialty player. And then you see that, 0:41:03.640 --> 0:41:05.800 and then the game ends the way that ends, and 0:41:05.920 --> 0:41:07.759 you say that is a turning point in the game, 0:41:08.000 --> 0:41:10.600 then people like they have a tendency to forget that. 0:41:10.719 --> 0:41:12.960 Oh, this dude also made some really good plays on there. 0:41:13.120 --> 0:41:17.480 But that is one of the worst punk block opportunities 0:41:17.600 --> 0:41:20.360 miss that I've seen since I've been watching football. And 0:41:20.480 --> 0:41:22.399 maybe because of the Cowboys and how we got beat 0:41:22.560 --> 0:41:25.040 but that was bad. But no way, I just got 0:41:25.160 --> 0:41:28.280 to say, like, you see the good teams make those plays. 0:41:28.560 --> 0:41:30.800 You see the good teams not make the bone headed 0:41:30.840 --> 0:41:34.760 plays to extend drives. You see the good teams making 0:41:34.960 --> 0:41:36.840 doing all the right things. It's a winning that's a 0:41:36.880 --> 0:41:39.560 winning attitude. And I think for where we're trying to 0:41:39.760 --> 0:41:42.800 get to, it's that part of the evaluation of the 0:41:42.840 --> 0:41:44.680 game that you have to return to and say, look, 0:41:44.719 --> 0:41:47.279 we had an opportunity right here, had we made that play, 0:41:47.360 --> 0:41:49.400 And it's just that it's that kind of stuff when 0:41:49.440 --> 0:41:51.480 you go back to San Francisco, you go back through 0:41:51.560 --> 0:41:55.040 all of those road losses, there were opportunities that we 0:41:55.160 --> 0:41:57.920 didn't take advantage of. There was a conversation going on 0:41:58.040 --> 0:42:00.759 between Mike McCarthy and Bones Fossil right after that play, 0:42:00.880 --> 0:42:02.400 and I swear to God, I wish I was just 0:42:02.480 --> 0:42:04.719 a fly on the wall just to hear what that 0:42:04.840 --> 0:42:07.879 conversation could have been, because you, like you said, people 0:42:07.920 --> 0:42:09.719 get fired for doing stuff like that. 0:42:09.880 --> 0:42:12.799 That's one of those things like that, does he know better? 0:42:13.239 --> 0:42:17.040 And Fossil saw something to call it, so you know, 0:42:17.160 --> 0:42:20.600 he saw something, and you know, and they almost had 0:42:20.600 --> 0:42:21.040 another one. 0:42:21.320 --> 0:42:23.319 It was another one, Listen. That's the thing though, That's 0:42:23.320 --> 0:42:25.480 the thing about a guy like Sam Williams. It wasn't 0:42:25.520 --> 0:42:28.120 even a special call. He was rushing over the center 0:42:28.200 --> 0:42:30.520 and then left a gap and it was him using 0:42:30.640 --> 0:42:33.440 his pass rush move, which you usually don't see guys 0:42:33.520 --> 0:42:35.839 with that type of talent on a punt rush team. 0:42:36.520 --> 0:42:38.480 But you see a guy like Sam Williams who is 0:42:38.520 --> 0:42:40.880 accustomed to rushing the passer and he's over the center 0:42:41.120 --> 0:42:43.600 and he literally just olays him and gets straight through 0:42:43.600 --> 0:42:45.360 the same one he did on the last one. And 0:42:45.760 --> 0:42:47.400 when you looking at it, you say, listen, I have 0:42:47.520 --> 0:42:49.960 a guy who can make those type of plays. 0:42:49.960 --> 0:42:50.879 So what do you do next game? 0:42:50.920 --> 0:42:52.440 Do you tell him not the rest, not the rest 0:42:52.480 --> 0:42:55.280 of punter? When you know that he has the talent 0:42:55.360 --> 0:42:57.160 to be able to put that type of pressure on 0:42:57.560 --> 0:42:59.439 a punt team to go make that type of play, 0:43:00.360 --> 0:43:00.880 it's it's. 0:43:01.040 --> 0:43:02.960 And then we know the statistics of what happens when 0:43:02.960 --> 0:43:05.000 you punt is a block of punt. I mean, just 0:43:05.239 --> 0:43:07.360 use the opportunities to win and go up. But because 0:43:07.360 --> 0:43:09.000 it's it's like it a turnover. 0:43:08.680 --> 0:43:10.719 Because he blocks that, that's a block and probably a 0:43:10.800 --> 0:43:12.520 touchdown because he made the play. 0:43:12.840 --> 0:43:14.880 Yeah, it's just his technique. At the end of it 0:43:15.320 --> 0:43:16.719 was just really bad technique. 0:43:16.880 --> 0:43:18.960 But you can't erase the fact that he was back 0:43:19.000 --> 0:43:21.879 there again in the position to make that play, which 0:43:21.920 --> 0:43:24.000 makes it like, which makes it like a very tough 0:43:24.080 --> 0:43:26.280 thing to do because you you, especially coach, you're. 0:43:26.160 --> 0:43:30.200 Like, well, wow, you know, really good, really good is here. 0:43:30.640 --> 0:43:32.520 But then you know the really bad is And I 0:43:32.560 --> 0:43:34.400 think the best thing about it is everybody on the 0:43:34.440 --> 0:43:37.480 team played bad. So so so what are you gonna say, Right, 0:43:37.560 --> 0:43:39.440 you got curse out here, you got d law out here, 0:43:39.440 --> 0:43:41.600 everybody you got Yeah, you got everybody playing bad, Like. 0:43:41.760 --> 0:43:44.319 Everybody collectively has to has to eat this With Mike 0:43:44.360 --> 0:43:46.480 McCarthy coming up at three thirty and one things I'm 0:43:46.480 --> 0:43:46.719 going to. 0:43:46.719 --> 0:43:49.400 Ask Mike today is about the penalties. 0:43:50.000 --> 0:43:52.239 The most penalized team in the league. And you've told 0:43:52.320 --> 0:43:57.560 us before by fixing things to dot to die. No, no, man, 0:43:58.000 --> 0:44:02.040 this is this is who you are and you cannot 0:44:02.320 --> 0:44:06.239 expect to go win playoff games on the road if 0:44:06.320 --> 0:44:08.680 you are going to have penalties like what we saw 0:44:08.719 --> 0:44:11.480 in Buffalo. And I want to hear what Mike hast 0:44:11.560 --> 0:44:16.080 to say, because it's it's out of control. This is 0:44:16.160 --> 0:44:19.399 the culture of who you are. You're a team that's undisciplined, 0:44:19.600 --> 0:44:22.160 that will shoot themselves in the foot. And you can't 0:44:22.239 --> 0:44:24.759 beat anybody good like this, You just can't. I mean, 0:44:24.800 --> 0:44:27.120 you got to forty nine ers, forty two on you, 0:44:27.239 --> 0:44:29.080 forty two to ten. This is thirty one to ten 0:44:29.840 --> 0:44:33.759 and you're helping with bad penalty Tyler Smith Love Love 0:44:33.800 --> 0:44:37.359 there's another drive killing penalty he did here where they 0:44:37.520 --> 0:44:37.960 weren't that. 0:44:38.520 --> 0:44:40.719 It's like, dude, this ain't the time for that, just 0:44:40.840 --> 0:44:43.680 like the Philadelphia game six yard line, same time for that. 0:44:44.440 --> 0:44:46.800 They got to fix this, And I want to know 0:44:46.880 --> 0:44:50.000 from the head coach, how come it hasn't been fixed? 0:44:50.400 --> 0:44:52.120 Why is this still happening. 0:44:53.040 --> 0:44:55.319 Yes, you've gone taking this team to the playoffs three 0:44:55.360 --> 0:44:58.280 straight years, but you gonna find yourselves out the playoffs 0:44:58.640 --> 0:45:01.120 in one or two games if you keep doing this, 0:45:01.320 --> 0:45:03.719 because it's gonna be real hard to beat somebody on 0:45:03.800 --> 0:45:08.240 the road playing like this. All right, heck man, thank you, Danny, 0:45:08.400 --> 0:45:11.400 thank you.
