1
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:03,080

00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. Cowboys This is Cowboys Storyline,

4
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 2: presented by Gillette, the official shave of the Dallas Cowboys.

5
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 3: Here's Nick Eatman.

6
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: What's up. Welcome to Cowboys Storyline. It's Monday, October thirteenth.

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: I'm Nick Eatman, and let's talk about the Cowboys Panthers.

8
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 1: It's a bad one. It was not a good one.

9
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: There's no other way to really say it. Cowboys fall

10
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: thirty to twenty seven at the final play of the game.

11
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: The defense, unfortunately, the defense kind of does what it does.

12
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: And that's that's the bad part of this thing after

13
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: six games, is that that really was no different than

14
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: what we've seen. Thought maybe it might be better based

15
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: off of the opponent. And when I say the opponent,

16
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the quarterback Bryce Young, who was, you know,

17
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: statistically the worst quarterback in the league going into the game,

18
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: and uh and he allowed him to be comfortable enough

19
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: and run the ball with Rico Dawdle, and you know,

20
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: he told you what he was going to do. They

21
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: said they were going to run it, and they did,

22
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: and they kept doing it. And it was six yards

23
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: and seven yards and eight yards and fourteen yards and

24
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: six yards and they just drove down and won the game.

25
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: So wasted a great opportunity for the Cowboys offense. Offense

26
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: played well, not well enough because they had their issues

27
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: at the worst times, and Cowboys fall thirty to twenty seven.

28
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: They are now two three in one of Coross. All right,

29
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: let's go to the phone. Calls Dylan, Northport, Florida. What's

30
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: up in it?

31
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 4: How's it going?

32
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 5: Bro?

33
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: Good? How are you?

34
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 4: Hey? Hey, I'm good.

35
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 6: I'm good.

36
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 4: So first thing, first, shout out to Joe from Lincoln Park.

37
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 4: I was talking from on Twitter. I wanted to shout out,

38
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 4: just like Lincoln Park once said, I've become so numb

39
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 4: to this defense. The defensive Sailors is not shocking really

40
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 4: at this point, it's almost expected, you know, they're imploding.

41
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 4: And I think that it's getting to the point, not

42
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 4: that it's going to make a difference, but I think

43
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 4: a move probably is coming at some point here. Maybe

44
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 4: on this DC, maybe you get some improvement with like

45
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,279
Speaker 4: moving White Cotton.

46
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 6: Up as the interim.

47
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 4: But if you're firing coaches mid season, that's not indicative

48
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 4: of success. That's just trying to not lose a locker

49
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 4: room typically, So I don't really expect much much to

50
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 4: change in the defense. And I see a lot of

51
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 4: talk about trades, but I don't this team is more

52
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 4: than one player away. Go trade for a big, big

53
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 4: time d that's gonna cost your first round pick. Plus

54
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 4: you're not going to have a big difference on defense.

55
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 4: This thing's not it's not solvable. There's not a light

56
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,839
Speaker 4: at the end of the tunnel for this season unfortunately.

57
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 4: Because is what it is, Bro, I mean, that's all.

58
00:02:58,520 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 4: It is, what it is.

59
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: Thank you for the call, not the one I wanted

60
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: to to start the show, but that's the way it is.

61
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: That's the reality, and you know it is. It is

62
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: six games. I'm glad there are eleven more, but you know,

63
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of where where we stand, uh, Dylan.

64
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: I don't agree with you on all of those points,

65
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: but some of them are you know, are are the case,

66
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: and you know, but you can fix things. I mean

67
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: you can. If your offense wasn't good then then then

68
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: this is not gonna not gonna be a good situation.

69
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: But you can you because your offense is good and

70
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: they're going to be even better here in this week.

71
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: And you know, when you get some of these guys back,

72
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: then then you can fix it. And I'm not saying

73
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: it's it's going to be a top ten dev You

74
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: don't need a top ten defense. So that's why I

75
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: disagree with you that that the defense can get better.

76
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: And if the defense gets a little bit better, you know,

77
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, think about that, if the defense

78
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: got just one inch better, you know, every game they

79
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: they didn't give up this touchdown or this field goal.

80
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: You know, this touchdown was actually turned to a field goal,

81
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,679
Speaker 1: you could make the case that they beat the Giants

82
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: in regulation, they beat the Packers in regulation, they win

83
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: this game, you know what I mean. So so that's

84
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: why I'm not gonna sit here and say like that

85
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: that's not salagable. Well, because because it can be. You

86
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: can get better, and if you get better combined with

87
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: this offense, then then they can win some games. But

88
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: but they got to get a lot better on defense,

89
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: and that's just not what we're seeing right now. Chris

90
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: and Saratoga Springs.

91
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 7: Hey, Nick, how are you good?

92
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 6: Defense? You're right, they got to get better, no doubt

93
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 6: about it. I mean it starts a little bit in

94
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 6: the offseason. You know, I was a big believer in

95
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 6: Drake reen Long getting him in here, and we went

96
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 6: with Sanborne and Marie instead. And I think we're struggling

97
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 6: right now in the middle for sure. I mean, I

98
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 6: know we're gonna get help with Demo comes back. It's

99
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 6: going to be a huge help with him coming back.

100
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 6: But our linebackers aren't playing great. My main concern guessterday

101
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 6: about that game, and you can comment on is fourth

102
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 6: and three and Bland's playing six seven yards off the

103
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 6: ball for that easy completion. Can you please tell me

104
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 6: why we would be playing a defense like that on

105
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 6: fourth and three. It just just doesn't make any sense

106
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 6: to me at all on that call. So if you

107
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 6: can just touch on that part of it, I would

108
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 6: appreciate it.

109
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: Okay, thanks, And I can't I mean, thanks for the call,

110
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: but I can't because you know, simple maths as if

111
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 1: you're seven yards off the ball and you know only

112
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: need it's four, fourth and four, but then you know

113
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: it's going to be close to get up there and

114
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: make the play. Who cares if he goes twenty, let

115
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: him go, Let him go twenty yards. See if your

116
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: quarterback can complete it to him twenty yards on the field,

117
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: he's averaging five. That's the worst part going into this

118
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: game that Bryce Young was averaging five point eight yards

119
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: per reception, which was the worst in the league for

120
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: starting quarterbacks, and in this game he was eight eight

121
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: point five or so, which you know that that's a

122
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: that's a respectable number. And so you know, and that's

123
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: the thing. Mean, his quarterback rating was seventy nine point

124
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: nine and then this game was like one fourteen. So

125
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's the problem that we're seeing, is

126
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: we're seeing this defense make quarterbacks look way better than

127
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: they are justin fields even looked way back. I mean,

128
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: look what he did last you know, yesterday against against Denver.

129
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: But he didn't you know, he didn't play great against

130
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, but he put up some numbers there late.

131
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams playing way better than he has all season

132
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: when he was with the Cowboys. Russell Wilson didn't even

133
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: a starter. He turns back the clock on Une scores

134
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: thirty seven points. I mean, so it's it's bad. I mean,

135
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. And and and to lose

136
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: to that team, you know, in the fashion that they did. Uh,

137
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: it's it shows that that they have to figure out

138
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: what what those what those changes are going to be. Uh,

139
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: whether there be scheme changes, whether whether they're personnel changes,

140
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: coaching change, whatever they are, you need to do and

141
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: you need to do a couple of them. You need

142
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: to do a lot of them. And you don't have

143
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: a lot of time. You got you gotta get this going.

144
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,119
Speaker 1: I mean, Washington's come to town. Washington's you know, maybe

145
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: they're not as good as they were last year, who knows,

146
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: but they're still pretty good and they still got you know,

147
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels is healthy and dan Quinn wants to come

148
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: here and win. So there's no doubt about it. It's

149
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: gonna it's not gonna be easy. All right, let's go

150
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: j R. Evandale Arizona j R.

151
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 8: Good morning. Next how you're doing all right? Good? So

152
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 8: I can start with some happy news. Uh, Saturday was

153
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 8: my daughter's birthday, my youngest daughter, and she got engaged

154
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 8: on the same day. So what happened about that? Got

155
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 8: a new son in law coming in the family. Saturday,

156
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 8: it was a great day, and then there was Sunday.

157
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 8: I just think. I mean, when you sit there and

158
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 8: talking about the defense, you know it's what everyone's going

159
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,559
Speaker 8: to be talking about. I just don't think you can.

160
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 8: I think that me looking at the scheme, I understand

161
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 8: what the scheme is. I see what you're trying to do.

162
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 8: I just don't think you have the players to play

163
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 8: what he wants to play, if that makes any sense.

164
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 8: I mean, Diggs has always been a man's a man

165
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 8: corner and Alabama when they switched him to corner, save

166
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 8: them plays man to man and that's where Duran Bland

167
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 8: is the best. I don't think those guys can do that.

168
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 8: Donovan Wilson is a box safety. You can't ask Donovan

169
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 8: Wilson to cover and make decisions. He wants to think.

170
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 8: He wants to jump that crosser, he wants to go

171
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 8: make an interception, he wants to go hit somebody, and

172
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 8: guys are running by him. But you can't just change

173
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 8: all these people. So eber Flues has to adjust what

174
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 8: he's doing. And that's my opinion. But I want to

175
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 8: know when does Schottenheimer I go down there and tell

176
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 8: him stop the run, do whatever you got to do

177
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 8: to stop the run. I didn't see them load the boss.

178
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 8: I didn't see him run, buts and they just kept

179
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 8: doing the same thing over and over. So I think

180
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 8: Eba Flues has to very quickly just rinse and clean

181
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 8: out what he's got doing and try to run a

182
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 8: different kind of defense. And now as the offense goes.

183
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 8: I love brock Hoffmin and TJ. Bass, but I think

184
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 8: you saw yesterday going against Brown and Ashawn Robinson. That's

185
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 8: why they're backups. I thought they got man handled. I

186
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 8: thought they got bullied, and a running game just got

187
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 8: stuffed right right at the beginning.

188
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: All right, thanks for that, Thanks for the call, J.

189
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Let's let's keep it, keep it going.

190
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: You're right about the offensive line. Those guys did get

191
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 1: man handled. I think we saw why Carolina didn't want

192
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: to let go of Derek Brown. It's a pretty good player.

193
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: And if that's rumors are true and reports are true

194
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: that you know, Brown was the guy the Cowboys were

195
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: looking at if there was going to be a trade

196
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: to Carolina for Micah. Derek Brown was the one and

197
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: the Carolina didn't want to do that. So and we

198
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: kind of see, we kind of see why. But yeah,

199
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: I mean they they missed Booker. I mean, Booker gives

200
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: them strength. Even though he's a rookie, he still gives

201
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: them this interior strength that I certainly could have been

202
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: used yesterday. And you know, I was kind of on

203
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: the fence with with Hoffman and bb Still I still

204
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: am a little bit that they coaches know that they

205
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: know who's a better player, and so they they That's

206
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: why Bbe has won the job now two years in

207
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: a row. So uh, he obviously is I mean, I

208
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: don't see I don't see that a lot. But as

209
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: far as the big difference there, but man, yesterday was

210
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: was a challenge. They just couldn't They just couldn't run

211
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: it at all. And that's for the defense and even

212
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: Flus and what you said, I agree that you know.

213
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: To me, I've always been told the best coaches are

214
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: the ones that fit the their scheme around the players.

215
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: They don't necessarily fit the player into the scheme. And

216
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: that's the big difference here. You're trying to fit the

217
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: player of Digs and Bland and Wilson into your scheme

218
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: and it can't work that way. It's not working that way.

219
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to fix a scheme and create one

220
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: that goes around these guys. And that's and you know,

221
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: if you know some of the analytics that I saw

222
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: that they blitzed five times yesterday. Five. I mean I'm blitzing.

223
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: I'm blitzing three or four times on a series with

224
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: this defensive line and and these corners and and and

225
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: safety is the way that they're playing. I'm blitzing all

226
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: the time. I mean, what do you do to a

227
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: short quarterback? How about make them shorter? You can make

228
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: them shorter if when you collapse the pocket on him,

229
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: he becomes short. I mean everybody does. He can't see

230
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: over the line, especially when it's getting closer and closer

231
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: that way. So I would have blitzed way more than that.

232
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 1: And when you saw him get a little rattled, the

233
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: ball went everywhere. It went in completed, when in the

234
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: stands it went, I mean, he got rid of the football.

235
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,719
Speaker 1: They didn't make him do that enough. I thought that

236
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: was a very very bad way of attacking that offense.

237
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you this, if any quarterback in

238
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: running back are both trying to get to two hundred yards,

239
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: that's not a good offense. And your defense should be

240
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: able to capitalize with that. If Rico's trying to get

241
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: two hundred rushing yards and Bryce Jones also trying to

242
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: get two hundred passing yards, maybe should take the running

243
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: part away and see if this guy can beat you,

244
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: because they shouldn't be equal like that, all right, Josh

245
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: and Princeton?

246
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 9: Hey, what's going on?

247
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 4: Nick?

248
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: How are you?

249
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 10: I'm doing good.

250
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 9: Haven't been able to call the last few weeks, traveling

251
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 9: and work stuff. But in spite of what happened yesterday,

252
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 9: I've been wanting to call him and say and give

253
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 9: back his props and his flock hours for being prepared

254
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 9: this season and the way he's looked. I've been a

255
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 9: critic of that.

256
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 10: You know, when he hasn't looked so good. So I

257
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 10: want to do, you know, be fair and give him

258
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 10: credit when credit is due. I know mostly everybody is

259
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 10: gonna talk about the defense today and how bad they look.

260
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 10: I won't spend too much time on it. But if

261
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 10: the offense.

262
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 9: Has to be perfect in score every.

263
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 10: Time they get the ball, I just don't see how

264
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 10: we can win many games.

265
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 7: And that's all I got, all right, and they won't.

266
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: They won't then win many games if you have to

267
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: do that every time, like your offense is not going

268
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: to be perfect. I say that, you know, I did

269
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: go to the Arkansas and Notre Dame game and their

270
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 1: offense was perfect in the first half. That was scored

271
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: every time, and so it's very similar. I'm dealing with

272
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 1: the same type of teams on Saturday and Sunday. Then

273
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: it's not it's not fun when because you do feel

274
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: that way, you feel like your offense has to be

275
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: perfect and so uh, and they weren't. You know, the

276
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: biggest drive of the game, Cowboy's biggest drive of the

277
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: game that that defense finally gets a stop down there

278
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: forces a punt, you in great field position, and Manda,

279
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: this does this team miss Turpin? I mean, seriously, Turpin's

280
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: an All Pro. He's been an All Pro and he

281
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: is an All Pro. He's All Pro return man for

282
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: the last three games now with him being out or

283
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: has it been two games? Uh, but two games feels

284
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: like three. But there's so many opportunities to get these

285
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: returns and and and nothing's happening, and you know, like

286
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: you just you just know that he can make a big,

287
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: big difference and so hopefully he'll be back this week.

288
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: But But my point is the offense gets the ball

289
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: and and I really believe that Schottenheimer when he got

290
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: the football, I guess it was with eight minutes to go,

291
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: maybe nine, when they got the ball back. I think

292
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: that he thought that, you know, maybe maybe would run

293
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: a little clock here, and they didn't, you know, I mean,

294
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: they got the ball eight eighteen to go, and they're like,

295
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: all right, we're at the worth. They're at their own

296
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: forty six yard line, you know, with eight eighteen to go,

297
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: and I mean, you need and you got the wind,

298
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: so you're looking you're looking for a field goal. I mean,

299
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: you're looking for a touchdown here obviously, but you're you're

300
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: trying to bleed some clock. And I think that's what

301
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: went into a short pass to Javante for minus five

302
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: short pass the Javante for minus seven US twelve yards

303
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: right off the bat, with this magnificent field position the

304
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: forty six yard line with eight eighteen to go, you

305
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: turned it into a third and twenty two at your

306
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: own thirty four and you have four yard pass the

307
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: lipke and you punted to the Carolina fourteen yard line.

308
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: That's that's the game, you know, it's the game. And

309
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: also the times you're down there in the red zone

310
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: twice down inside the red zone after a big play

311
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: by Pickings gets you down there and you mess around

312
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: and you kick field goals, and so those field goals

313
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: ended up, you know, losing you to the game, those

314
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: field goals and then that that drive. So you know, yeah,

315
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: I hate to say the offense lost the game, but

316
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, in the situation that is, you know,

317
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: the way it is, they have to score more, and

318
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: they have to score almost every single time. All right,

319
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: Michael and Utah's next.

320
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 11: Hey Nick, how are you doing to day? Hey Michael

321
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 11: oh Man, this is uh, this is frustrating. I feel

322
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 11: like it's definitely a personal problem, but I think it's

323
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 11: also a coaching problem coming from the standpoint of I mean,

324
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 11: we're hearing the same thing out of shot and Hammer

325
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 11: almost every single week, saying, oh, well, we need to

326
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 11: do better and we'll fix that, and I feel like

327
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 11: we're just running into the same problems. You think something

328
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 11: like this is fixable with our defense as bad as

329
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 11: it is, and then our offense not doing what it

330
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 11: needs to do versus a team like the Panthers, Like

331
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 11: I feel like we should have won by twenty points.

332
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I don't know about twenty points. I mean,

333
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: I you know, I thought it was gonna be a

334
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: tougher game, but I did think that that the Cowboys

335
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 1: could have won, And then watching it, I thought that

336
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: they should have won. I mean, I just that's that's

337
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 1: what that's so bad about this is that you know,

338
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 1: when the games are are like close like that, usually

339
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: the better quarterback is gonna win you the game, you know.

340
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: And that's and that's the thing, and and that did

341
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: not happen in this case at all, And so that

342
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 1: that's that's another frustrating aspect of it.

343
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 11: All right, Well, I'll just lead off with this. Are

344
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 11: we gonna make any trades? Or are we gonna run

345
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 11: with this team? And do you think it is fixable

346
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 11: with what we have on the roster getting everybody back

347
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 11: with injuries? And yeah, where do we go from here?

348
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: All right? All right? Thank you, thank you for the call.

349
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: I say it several times already, I've said about the trade.

350
00:17:58,400 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I think if there's a trade that were

351
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 1: works beyond this year, then then go ahead and do it.

352
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't make you know, I'm not trading for somebody

353
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: with that's going to be a free agent at the

354
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: end of the year. And if you do that, if

355
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: you know, if you if you make that kind of move,

356
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: then you're not talking about a first round pick. I

357
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: mean you're talking about a you know, fourth round, fifth

358
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: or something like that, you know, for a guy that's

359
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 1: just just renting at this point and the season's already

360
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: you know, six games into it. So uh, you know,

361
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: if if you were to get a guy like that,

362
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 1: then then you know, you're then you're you're trying to

363
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: maybe put a band aid on it and see if

364
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: there's a situation of somebody that that can help you.

365
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: And and that's why, you know, I'm not trying to

366
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: to to say, oh glass half half full here, let's

367
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: let's just throw out the facts. Okay, this is this

368
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: is what you have. You have an offense that can

369
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: put up a lot of points. Okay, they can put

370
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: up a lot of points, especially if they were getting

371
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: some help on defense, getting short fields and and maybe

372
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: a turnover or two every now and again, a sack

373
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: force fumble like when that happens, you know, then they

374
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 1: can they can take advantage of it. They did get

375
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: an interception and the Coupboys went and scored, So give

376
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: them credit for that part. But but that's it. But

377
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you know, this defense is going to

378
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: struggle the offense though, the thing about the offense is

379
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: is that they are capable of scoring points. And so

380
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 1: when you ask questions of can they fix this thing,

381
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't need them to start, you know,

382
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: going from averaging thirty points allowed to ten, You don't.

383
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: I don't need that. I mean, we really don't. You

384
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: need a couple stops. You need to get off the field.

385
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: Turn that touchdown into a field goal, turn that field

386
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 1: goal into a punt. I mean things like that, and

387
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 1: and and that is a scheme fix here and there.

388
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: Imagine imagine what taking ten points off the board for

389
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: a game would be. I'll just do it seven points

390
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: off the board, you know. And and that's that's where

391
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 1: that's where you are. This team, this offense can go

392
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 1: score with anyone, but you got to you gotta give

393
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: them some stops and give them some opportunities. You know

394
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: that that Chicago game, well the reason why that they

395
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: didn't get I mean, Cowboys were down there several times

396
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 1: through a couple of interceptions there late. They also had

397
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: a ten minute drive. The Bears had ten minute drive.

398
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys just couldn't get off the field. You know, one time,

399
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 1: two times, three times, get off the field. That could

400
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: change everything. Let's go to break here real quick on

438
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 15: Good morning, Nick.

439
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: How are you doing?

440
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 16: That?

441
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 15: Could be better?

442
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 5: Yeah?

443
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 1: Are we all good? Yeah?

444
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 15: But I just wanted to say a couple of things

445
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 15: real quick, Like you said you've already been talking about.

446
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 15: I think this is an all hands on deck situation

447
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 15: for the defense. Like we're way past like having hurt

448
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 15: feelings here at this point. I don't know if Dylan,

449
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 15: you know, Dylan was talking about promoting white cotton. I

450
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 15: don't know, promote white cotton, sorens and get with the guys,

451
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 15: Say do you guys want to play? If it's a

452
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 15: man a man press, you know, people will say they're

453
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 15: going to get beat anyways, Like I'm cool. Then they're

454
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 15: just going to get beat faster and we get the

455
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,719
Speaker 15: ball back to our offense. That's what they were doing

456
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 15: at the end of the game when they were trying

457
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 15: to let them score. So you just got to think

458
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 15: you got it all hands on deck. I think Nick,

459
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 15: there's a buyingbacker in the Bayou that played for a

460
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 15: quarterback that or for a coach that we used to

461
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 15: have that you know would probably be a Day three pick,

462
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 15: that he would be a rental Nick, but he would

463
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 15: certainly help because he'd be a dude in the middle

464
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 15: of this defense. And then, lastly to the two plays

465
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 15: you were just referring to. I was disappointed in those

466
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 15: two lateral screenplays or sideways plays just because of what

467
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 15: Shotty Hid said about it's about players over plays. And

468
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 15: my only issue with it, Nick was Pickens had been

469
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 15: Pickens and Ferguson had been chewing them up all day

470
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 15: and I just my thought, processing those two possessions of

471
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 15: those two plays, I'm going to Pickens three times in

472
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 15: a row if I have to right and make them

473
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 15: stop it. I don't think they could. So that was

474
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 15: my disappointment there.

475
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 7: Just just want to see what you thought, all right, Bro,

476
00:23:59,560 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 7: thank you.

477
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: I I totally agree with that that part there. Again,

478
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: about that drive, I kind of feel like he was

479
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: trying to slow play it. But yeah, at that point

480
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: in the game, I think he got to go with

481
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: with what's working, and what was working was was Pickens.

482
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 1: I mean, they couldn't they couldn't cover them, and it

483
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: was everything that's been the most oppressive part about Pickens

484
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: is that he's he's run so many different types of routes. Slants,

485
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: slant for a touchdown, about that, I mean, just just

486
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,199
Speaker 1: slant for a first down, but just beat all the

487
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: angles from the other defenders and go and score touchdown.

488
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,679
Speaker 1: Thirty four yards thirty four yards slant for a touchdown.

489
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: That's like Jerry Rice. That's what I think of is

490
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 1: I think if Jerry Rice catching a slant and then

491
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: just taking it right up the middle for a touchdown.

492
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: So that type of play, and then like the comeback route,

493
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: where then he's just gonna spin and go and spin

494
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: and hurdle and jump and do all kinds of things.

495
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he just has so many different types of routes. Yeah,

496
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 1: I mean I think that they could have done that

497
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: and that, and that drive and and and and then

498
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: you know, and obviously in hindsight they should have. But

499
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: nothing to Javonte was working. I mean nothing, even the

500
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: little dump off passes. I mean he was getting hit

501
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: and and tackled there, and I mean he just there

502
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: was no yards after the catch with him. It was

503
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: a complete opposite of what we had seen before against

504
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,479
Speaker 1: the Jets. Had really all season. I mean all season,

505
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: we hadn't seen that type of running from him, and

506
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: it's pretty unfortunate when you look at the Miles Sanders injury.

507
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: Now Miles is out for the season. They put him

508
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 1: on season ending I r because he's gonna he's gonna

509
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: need I think a knee surgery. So Jayden Blue hasn't

510
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: really shown anything yet, so you kind of wanted to

511
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 1: have a little bit of help for him. And Miles

512
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: Sanders had been that guy, had been the best one,

513
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: and a lot of people wanted to see Blue. You've

514
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: seen him twice. Now you can't be in pres just yet. No,

515
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: he's a rookie. He's going to get better, but I

516
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: mean he needs to play and needs to kind of

517
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: get in the mix. We know he's got some speed

518
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: to him, so we'll see, well, we'll see what he

519
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: does there, and you know, if they've got any other options,

520
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 1: but for now, you know, it's it's Gravante's show, and

521
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: and and yesterday they just couldn't really lean on him.

522
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: That was that was unfortunate. All right. Gabe is in Knoxville, Tennessee. Gabe,

523
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 1: what's up?

524
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 7: Hey?

525
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 17: Not much rough Monday, And I'm sure feeling disappointed like

526
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 17: everybody is.

527
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, but.

528
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 17: You know, I think there's obviously good things to take

529
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 17: from this team, even on the defensive side. We've got

530
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 17: good players. It's just disappointing how it feels disappointing how

531
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 17: they're being used. I guess, yeah, we got guys. I

532
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 17: was listening to one of five point three that this

533
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 17: morning and they were kind of saying, how Donovan Wilson,

534
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,719
Speaker 17: which is bad, just overall bad. I thought, yeah, he

535
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 17: had some he had some good he had some good plays.

536
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 17: I thought, you know, it was when he was close

537
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 17: to a line of scrimmage. It was when he was

538
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 17: working in the flat, or when he was covering lower

539
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 17: as soon as they made him cover you know, the

540
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 17: middle third of the field or do that sort of

541
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 17: cover defense, that's.

542
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 7: When he.

543
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's an interesting player. He's because he'll he'll make

544
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 1: some some really good plays for both teams. And so

545
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: that's that's the problem with with him. I I still

546
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,479
Speaker 1: don't know if if every if there's a coordinator out

547
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: there that knows exactly how to play him the best way,

548
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,959
Speaker 1: because you know, he's one of those it's like one

549
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: of those basketball players that's just a mismatch every time.

550
00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: On this end, he's a mismatch because he can do

551
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: that in this and score. But down here he's maybe tougher,

552
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, He's that type of guy.

553
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 1: Where do you play If you played him at linebacker,

554
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: they'd run at him all the time and he probably

555
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 1: couldn't hold up all the time. You put him in

556
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,439
Speaker 1: the deep part of it, he's just going to give

557
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: up plays, you know. I mean, I hate to make

558
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: this comparis. It's a lot like Roy Williams actually back

559
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: in the day at safety. You know what, Where do

560
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: you play him the right spot? Because he can make plays,

561
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: just not always consistently right.

562
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 17: So it feels like it comes down to, I like,

563
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 17: I don't know, manage your players, better put them in

564
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 17: the situations that.

565
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 7: They're going to do best. Yeah, you know, And it doesn't.

566
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 17: Feel like he's done that. It doesn't feel like he's

567
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 17: making the adjustments he needs to.

568
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 8: It makes you know, I miss I.

569
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 17: Miss Wade Phillips. When's the when's the last time we

570
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 17: had a defensive coordinator? I feel like where.

571
00:28:55,040 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 7: We were just Dan Quinn, Yeah, Dan Glinn, right, I

572
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 7: mean he was the guy.

573
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: That you were like, oh my god, he's gonna leave

574
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: and take a coaching job, like he didn't take it,

575
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: so you know it's it's.

576
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 17: But even Dan Klint had issues too though. Yeah it

577
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 17: started off great when the pass rush is working well,

578
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 17: he has Michael Parsons. But then if the pass rush

579
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,479
Speaker 17: wasn't getting home well then And I know a lot

580
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 17: of it has to do with the players too. Sometimes

581
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 17: they're just not executing well, they're not doing their job.

582
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: But I'm just gonna I'm not gonna try to argue

583
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: with you, but I'm just saying, let's just point this

584
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: point out too. Wade Phillips, Right, did he have a guy?

585
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: I mean, did he have a pass rusher because I

586
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: kind of thought he did in demarkets where I mean,

587
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: I feel like Dan Quinn kind of had a pass

588
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: rusher in Michael Parsons. And that's the thing, right, And

589
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: this guy does not have a pass rusher. He does

590
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: not have anybody that can rush the past consistently. And

591
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: I am not saying, hey, it's okay, eber flu, No,

592
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: it's not. It hasn't been good. It hasn't been good enough.

593
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: We know that everybody likes Matt everyone that's known to

594
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: me while here the first time. Everyone likes this guy

595
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: and I'm included, and that's what makes this thing tough.

596
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: But if we're gonna be fair and just compare other ones,

597
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: just know the biggest issue is that do not have

598
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: a pass rusher, and they don't. They don't generate pass rush,

599
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: they don't blitz, they don't do anything to make the

600
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: quarterback uncomfortable. And these two, these guys are too good

601
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: Hunter Renfro. Those guys are just too good to find

602
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: an open spot and say, boom, there it is. I mean,

603
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: it's just you. It's too long. These guys have way

604
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: too long. Absolutely, all right, all right, all right, thank you, Gabe,

605
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: appreciate that. Let's go to Bryce. He's in Burlston, Texas. Bryce, Hey, Nick,

606
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: how are you good?

607
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 7: How are you good?

608
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 8: So?

609
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 18: I have actually a couple questions for you. So my

610
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 18: first question of force is on the defense. Obviously, it's

611
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 18: very frustrating watching what we're seeing this season. Do you

612
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 18: think Jerry should use one of those number one draft

613
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 18: picks to go get a pass rusher? Just because I

614
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 18: think right now, well we don't have an identity and

615
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 18: with playing man's zone, going back and forth. These players

616
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 18: are just not clicking. They don't have the IQ to

617
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 18: play zone in my opinion. And you know, Trayvon Diggs,

618
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 18: he's wanting to play man more often, but in order

619
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 18: to play man consistently, you have to have a legitimate

620
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 18: pass rusher, right. And then my second question is with Pickens,

621
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 18: don't doing so good because in the past we didn't

622
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 18: have a second wide receiver that would step out when

623
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 18: CD or number one would go out. Would you resign

624
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 18: him like right now before obviously the market hits.

625
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: Well, we talked about this a little bit last week

626
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: and that question has come up a little bit. And

627
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: you know, don't forget Pickens's agent is in the same

628
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: group as Mike's agent with athletes first, and so you're

629
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: not gonna sneak anything by anyone. Now you're gonna have

630
00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: to pay for market. And you're gonna have to pay

631
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: for what he's doing. I mean, because the agent's gonna

632
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: project out his season. So he hasn't he's had a

633
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: touchdown now what five weeks in a row or four

634
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: weeks in a row or something. He's got six touchdowns

635
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: through six games, So they're gonna probably put that as

636
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: a seventeen touchdown season. So you know what, what kind

637
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: of contract is that. I don't I don't think you're

638
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: gonna get a steal that go for it. I'd like

639
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: to resign them, be great, but I think you're gonna

640
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: have to definitely pay for it, and as it stands

641
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: right now, you're paying for top dollar. I mean I

642
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: even thought about that on the way home. I thought,

643
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: I wonder if they might consider franchising him, you know,

644
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 1: just just to see that that could be the case,

645
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: because he has been he's been better than he's.

646
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 5: Ever play at dow Yep.

647
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: Well, it's the best quarterback he's he's probably had consistently

648
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: too and and correct. Yeah, so it's a great situation.

649
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: I bet he would love to be here. But you know,

650
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: he's he's playing like he's on a contract year and

651
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,719
Speaker 1: he's he's been great because the best situation for him

652
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: has happened. Not only has he got to play some

653
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: on the opposite side of CD, but he's also got

654
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: to be the number one guy. And by the number one,

655
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: he looks every bit the part of a number one receiver.

656
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 18: Awesome, sounds great, Bright, Well, thank.

657
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: You appreciate it. And the first thanks for your call.

658
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: Your first question, you know, we we have talked about

659
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: it several times, you know, and without really throwing out names,

660
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: I mean, do you go get a pass rusher? Do

661
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: you trade one of your picks to go get a guy?

662
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it's got to be the perfect situation, like

663
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: like honestly, like Green like Green Bay, that's what they had.

664
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: You know, you need a younger pass rusher who's still

665
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: going to be around for a while, and they already

666
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: know that it's not gonna work out where at their

667
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: at their team, their initial team, it's just not gonna work,

668
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: So let's move on and maybe get something for them.

669
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: I mean, how many scenarios like that are there? I mean,

670
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: obviously there was one with the Cowboys and they had

671
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: to pay top dollar for it, so you're obviously not

672
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: gonna get that kind of guy. But is there another

673
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,479
Speaker 1: guy that that are you already know is not going

674
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: to re sign with his team and and that they

675
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: can trade him and it's not going to be a

676
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: huge hit on their on their cap. I mean, there's

677
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: probably some guys out there, but man, it's got to

678
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 1: be somebody that can make a difference. If not, then

679
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: don't don't do it. Go get your younger draft pick

680
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: and whatever position and do that. I mean, this got

681
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 1: to be a proven player, and most teams like to

682
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: hang on to those, you know, but we're watching it

683
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 1: that it's happened here, so we know it can't happen

684
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:31,879
Speaker 1: Rich in California. Rich.

685
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,359
Speaker 4: Hey, Nick, how's going good are you?

686
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 19: But you know how I'm feeling today.

687
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 6: I'm still feeling blue.

688
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,959
Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, well, and I.

689
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 19: Say that because to the point you made on our

690
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:47,399
Speaker 19: running back situation. Yes, Sanders went out, but we need

691
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 19: to get Blue going north and south, not east and west.

692
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 19: And you can see the success that paulard a dad.

693
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 19: He hasn't done too bad out there. You see what

694
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,479
Speaker 19: Dwell has done not too bad. So again, we can't

695
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 19: give up on a guy on two games. And again

696
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:05,879
Speaker 19: we need to start going north to south the same

697
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 19: way we're doing with pickings, same way we were doing

698
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 19: with persons. We can get Blu that way we'll be

699
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 19: all right.

700
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'd like to see him a little bit more.

701
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: I mean I think we all would, because you know

702
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: he's got speed. I mean, you know, if he gets

703
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 1: into the open field, you know he can he can

704
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: be dangerous. I mean, you know, this guy played like

705
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: four snaps in the preseason, did not get to play

706
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: a lot. He was hurt and then he just wasn't

707
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: ready to play. And so he's practiced some and it

708
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 1: sounds like he's practicing well, but it's not game situation now.

709
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 1: He did have a nice kickoff return going north, like

710
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: you said, and against the Jets, that was a good return. Again,

711
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: I'd like to see him back there with Turpin, but

712
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: that means he's gonna probably have to block some and

713
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,240
Speaker 1: and and if Turpin and if they kick it to Blue,

714
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: then Turpet's gonna have to block some. I don't know

715
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 1: if you really want that either, but I do think

716
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 1: that he just needs to keep playing and he just

717
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: needs to break one, you know, like just kind of

718
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,359
Speaker 1: you and I don't mean eighty yards, I just mean

719
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,879
Speaker 1: ten yards, fifteen twenty yards A run like that kind

720
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: of give him the confidence that he needs that. All

721
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 1: backs need that, all players need that at all positions.

722
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: So he's going to get that opportunity. I mean, that's

723
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: just there's no doubt about it. He's going to definitely

724
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: get in there. All right, let's go to Brian in

725
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 1: Kansas City.

726
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 20: Morning, sir, how are you, oh Man tough? First thing

727
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,280
Speaker 20: I said to Chris Man that sucked.

728
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 1: Yeah.

729
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 20: Well, so here's where I'm missed at with the defense.

730
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 20: If you look at our defensive backfield, our starters, and

731
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 20: I know Hooker is not in right now, but just

732
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 20: to bear with me one second. Yeah, if you take

733
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 20: those four guys, they're all on their second Cowboys contracts.

734
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 20: Other coaches and their schemes have gotten the best out

735
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 20: of them to the point that they've all been re

736
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 20: signed by the Cowboys. This scheme doesn't fit those guys

737
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 20: at all. And I know, like I said, I know

738
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 20: Hooker's not there right now, but it's very obvious that

739
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 20: that's it's not a talent issue in the backfield. Now

740
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:27,280
Speaker 20: in the front seven, I think it's wholeheartedly a talent issue.

741
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 20: Our line. We don't even have one one good linebacker

742
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 20: right now, you know, not based on their play so far.

743
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 20: And Demo's one guy. I mean, you know, he's probably

744
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 20: going to be better than anybody we got, but he's

745
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 20: only one guy. You know, we don't have anybody else

746
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 20: to pair him up with. Ye he does come back.

747
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,399
Speaker 20: And then in the front line, I don't know for sure.

748
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 20: I don't know a lot about why. That's not why

749
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 20: they're not generating any pressure at all except for the

750
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 20: Jets game. And I wanted to just throw this out there,

751
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 20: get your opinion with pickings. I think he's playing himself

752
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 20: out of Dallas. He's too good. He's already too good

753
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 20: for us to pay. He's going to get top dollar.

754
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 20: Do you think we'll get a third round comp? I

755
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 20: know it's possible to get a third round comp. I

756
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 20: don't know how that works if he plays like this

757
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 20: and he's not going to have the same stats because

758
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 20: CD's coming back, but based on how he's playing, he's

759
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 20: going to get a top tier contract. Do you think

760
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:29,280
Speaker 20: we'll get a third round.

761
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 17: Pick coming back out of that?

762
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 20: And maybe it's a break even rental? And I'll hang

763
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 20: up and listen to that one man.

764
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of stuff there, Brian. You know when

765
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: you go in to your defensive back stuff. You know.

766
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 1: The question that I have is, and I think I

767
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: asked this last week and just kind of said it

768
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: out loud, but are we sure that Hooker and Bland

769
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: and Diggs and Donovan Wilson are we sure that this

770
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: isn't who they've always been. They just got covered up

771
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: by by Micah Parsons.

772
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 7: You know.

773
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: That's that's where the Micah Parsons. That's why I'm recreating

774
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: the diaper, you know, or two point oh diaper two

775
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 1: point oh? Maybe it is Micah. He covered up a

776
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: lot of stuff. Are we sure that these guys weren't

777
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: weren't that way? I mean, I'd like to think that

778
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: they they're they're great on their own, But what my

779
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 1: point is, without a consistent pass rush, and he gave

780
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: you a consistent pass rush, without that, would we have

781
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: ever seen the play that we saw from them. So

782
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 1: I think what I'm saying is is maybe maybe it

783
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,720
Speaker 1: is needed to go get a pass rusher. Maybe that

784
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: that's what you have to do to save yourself. And

785
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: it's got maybe a couple of guys. And I don't

786
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 1: know if anyone's ever going to play their way out

787
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: of Dallas or out of out of any kind of

788
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: you know, any situation, any team. If you keep playing

789
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: the way like you play, I don't know why you

790
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 1: would ever. I mean, we've already seen it one since

791
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: the Cowboys traded away an outstanding player. Now that now

792
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: that they miss him dearly. I don't know if you're

793
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 1: playing like this, figure it out. I know you signed CD,

794
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 1: but we figured figure it out because because that's that's

795
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,359
Speaker 1: where you are. You have an offense that that can

796
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: put up a lot of points. So uh, maybe maybe

797
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: it is something worth worth keeping. I just don't know

798
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: if I believe that he's playing so good that you

799
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: can't keep him. He's playing that good, figure it out,

800
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: because I don't know if the Cowboys are in the

801
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: business of letting these franchise type players go again. Let's

826
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,760
Speaker 1: a couple more calls. And it's been a tough, tough

827
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: monday here on Cowboys storyline has to be expected. What

828
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 1: happens when you lose a game like that? That just

829
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,399
Speaker 1: didn't feel like that was one the Cowboys should have lost,

830
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: but they did, and they did because they got out

831
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:21,359
Speaker 1: played out, hit out, our physical all that still didn't

832
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: feel like they were going to lose the game. So

833
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 1: that's what's kind of crazy about it, all right, Robbie

834
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 1: and Cocoa Beach, Florida.

835
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 5: Hey, I'm drinking out of my Yettie cup right now,

836
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 5: the one that's this Cowboys storyline.

837
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 7: Nice, all right, Yeah, that's yeah, man, I love it.

838
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:40,839
Speaker 5: So you know, we always talk about how crappy things

839
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 5: get when we lose, and it does. It sucks, man,

840
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 5: But you know what, it was still a damn good game, man.

841
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:49,240
Speaker 5: I mean except for our defense, but but that offense,

842
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 5: they played their hearts out. I mean, I like what

843
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 5: you said. And RJ said the same damn thing in

844
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 5: the fourth quarter. He was like, Dad, why didn't they

845
00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 5: throw it to the pickens? And I agree with what

846
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 5: you said. You know, they're doing one to the side,

847
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 5: one to the side, and the little thing to lip key.

848
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 18: Yeah.

849
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 5: But but it was still a great game, most of

850
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 5: it really. You got interception and I know I'm a homer, man,

851
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 5: but I enjoy the ride. I like to watch the game,

852
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 5: and it was fun with my kid, and maybe that's

853
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 5: why I'm na join it more. But yeah, boy, I

854
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 5: sure like to see us win at the end, you

855
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 5: know what I.

856
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 8: Mean, Nick, It would have made it.

857
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 5: Quite a bit better. But maybe there's still hope at

858
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 5: the end of the thing. I wish I was like

859
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 5: Dylan or you are, you know smart like to me, guys,

860
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 5: I just don't even know what we can do to

861
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 5: get better with the coaching. Is that the players I'm

862
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 5: talking defense obviously, yeah, who knows man, pass rush, safety, middle, linebacker,

863
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 5: all of them. All right, you tell me what you

864
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 5: think we can fix it, and I listen, All.

865
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate it. I mean, I wish I had

866
00:43:56,760 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 1: the answers to but I mean, for me, it just

867
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: feels like the quarterbacks are way too comfortable and and

868
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 1: and I'm okay giving up what you have to give

869
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: up to blitz. Like I'm okay with that. I mean

870
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 1: because I think I think my guys can get there,

871
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: you know, and go back to the No. No, I'm sorry.

872
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: I think that they can cover, is what I'm trying

873
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 1: to say. You can blitz, but I think that they'll

874
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 1: cover long enough. You don't have to cover forever when

875
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 1: you're when you're blitzing, you know, we go back to

876
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:32,840
Speaker 1: that Philly game. In week one, the defense looked they

877
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,760
Speaker 1: couldn't stop anyone early. Then then they kind of figured

878
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 1: it out. And if you remember, Diggs was blitzing off

879
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 1: the edge, Bland blitzed. I mean, they just showed different

880
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: things to Jalen Hurts that we hadn't seen, and they

881
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 1: got a field goal in the second half. Now the

882
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: offense couldn't score because they didn't have they didn't you know,

883
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,359
Speaker 1: there was adjustments made by Philly as well, and they

884
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 1: fumbled inside the ten. But but my point was is

885
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: in that game, we saw all different things that didn't

886
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: make Jalen hurt so comfortable, and I just I'm not

887
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,399
Speaker 1: seeing that. I'm not seeing that here at all from

888
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: the what they're doing with Carolina. Let's get this last

889
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 1: caller in Michael in Ohi, California.

890
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 22: Hey, how's it going?

891
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: Hey, how are you?

892
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 22: I'm living a dream dream?

893
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 20: Yeah.

894
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 22: I called in last week and I feel like I

895
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 22: shot myself in the foot by mentioning shot. He's coaching

896
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 22: up the injuries and whatnot, and then you know, here

897
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 22: we go and have kind of a dud. But I

898
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 22: wanted to try to be very kind of positive question

899
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 22: and positive here.

900
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 5: I don't know why.

901
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 22: I assume you have the Lanner Thomas doc about him

902
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 22: and his brother. Basically, I know it was about the

903
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 22: whole game, but I just wanted to give a shout

904
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 22: out because that was pretty awesome and I know it's

905
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,800
Speaker 22: a good piece of film. When my wife is excited

906
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 22: to watch something football related, that was pretty cool. Yeah.

907
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 22: And then I want to throw out there because we're

908
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 22: talking a lot about the coaches, how much do you

909
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:09,240
Speaker 22: think our DBS are missing Al Harris right now? Because

910
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,319
Speaker 22: nothing against the guy that we have right now, but

911
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 22: I feel like there's just been a shift. Obviously the

912
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 22: changing coordinators, you're gonna have a shift, but even just

913
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 22: with the way that the guys are playing in their positions.

914
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 22: And then I guess to end on a positive note,

915
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:26,840
Speaker 22: I do feel like if there's anything to take away

916
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,399
Speaker 22: from what's been a really huge roller coaster right it's

917
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 22: that we got a lot of young guys and you're

918
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 22: going to have a bit of a roller coaster as

919
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:36,760
Speaker 22: they're learning. Like when you look at the linebacker corps,

920
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 22: the most senior guy I think is what Kenneth Murray,

921
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 22: and he's in his fourth year and he's in a

922
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 22: new system now, so there's a lot of learning, and

923
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:49,280
Speaker 22: I guess that they should be able to handle simple

924
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:50,319
Speaker 22: schemes and whatnot, but.

925
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 8: I don't know.

926
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 22: I guess each week I'm trying to care, not care,

927
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:58,239
Speaker 22: but react less to the outcome and look more for,

928
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 22: you know, what can hopefully be a growth opportunity for

929
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 22: each of the guys, and hopefully by the end of

930
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 22: the season we have an identity considering that's going to

931
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,759
Speaker 22: be the biggest concern right now, and then you know,

932
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 22: see what they can do and not to write the

933
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 22: whole year off, but then seo, we can do a

934
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:13,879
Speaker 22: year two and I'll hang up and see what.

935
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: You think you're ta Nicole, Thank you, Michael. I mean

936
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 1: you're right. I mean there is a lot of games left.

937
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: And that's kind of goes back to the very first

938
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: caller of the show, Dylan, you know, and you can

939
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 1: definitely tell the frustration there on his voice. A lot

940
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 1: of a lot of you guys about, you know, how

941
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 1: do you fix this? They've seen six games, like it's

942
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: not getting fixed and it's not going to get fixed

943
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: or whatever. Which my point is that you know, I've

944
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,720
Speaker 1: seen I've seen teams that can kind of turn things

945
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 1: around as far as is turned turn around, you know,

946
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 1: a couple of things on on on just one side

947
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 1: of the ball, and that's that's what That's why I

948
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 1: have some hope that it's not lost because the offense

949
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 1: is so good. The offense is good, and they are

950
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 1: scoring enough points to win games. I mean, even twenty

951
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 1: seven points is enough to win a game. They should

952
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: have scored more, but it's still enough to win a game.

953
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 1: You just need this defense to chip in a lot

954
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,319
Speaker 1: more than they've done. And that's just getting off the

955
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: field a couple more times. Give me a couple more

956
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:24,239
Speaker 1: stops a game, and that I think could give the

957
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 1: offense even more field position to go and do what

958
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna do. So that's why I still have some

959
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 1: hope here because I do think you've got something great

960
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 1: going on offense, and it's been just as bad on

961
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:40,919
Speaker 1: the other side on the defense. So if that part

962
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 1: can get fixed and cleaned up just a little bit,

963
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 1: then I still think there's hope that you're gonna be

964
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 1: in every game. That's one thing. We know you're gonna

965
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 1: be in every one of these things. So as the

966
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 1: running back said, buckle up and not just in this game,

967
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,360
Speaker 1: but for the entire season, because that's the kind of season.

968
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: It's gonna be all right, tough Monday, but you guys

969
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 1: did a great job. Appreciate that. I'll do it again
