It's Monday, December nineteenth, twenty twenty two, Season eighteen, 0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:45.239 episode number ninety two. Welcome to the latest edition of 0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:48.280 The Break Life and Nest WBC Mortgage Studios. At the start, 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:50.720 we are presented by millerlike the only Beer of the 0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:55.800 Dallas Cowboys, and Uh, this game that we saw yesterday, 0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:58.320 there's a lot to take from it, and I'm certain 0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:00.160 that there are lots of people out there listening right 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:03.040 now that are frustrated and probably feel like they don't 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:05.160 even really know what to make of this team at 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:07.720 this point. It's our jobs to give you a little context. 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:09.160 So that's what we're gonna try to do here over 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:10.800 the next forty five minutes, to give you a little 0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:14.000 context of what we thought saw yesterday, what things we 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:16.479 saw that were good and bad, and what things maybe 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:19.319 were about yesterday what things may be bigger picture that 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:22.520 can be problems for the Cowboys. They kind of backed 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:25.240 into the playoffs at this point, so they are officially 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:28.000 going to be in the playoffs, just don't necessarily know 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:30.720 at what spot and with who though he playing in 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:33.240 the first round. But let's start. Cowboys lose forty to 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:36.720 thirty four in overtime. Give me the big picture that 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:39.360 you take out of this game. Nick, Let's start with you. M. 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:43.560 Their defense is not is not what it was and 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:45.800 whatever the reason is, and a lot of it is 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:48.480 because of injury. You can't just keep having injuries. But 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:50.360 but there's it's more to it than that. It's a 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:55.040 bigger problem. And you know, they just couldn't they couldn't 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:57.000 get them off the field there. I mean, the offense 0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.680 has got it it's problems as well, but they scored 0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:02.120 enough points to win that game. And the defense, I 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:05.080 just don't know if they can continue to take some 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:08.000 of these hits that they've got injury wise, and they 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:13.520 have a huge, huge problem at cornerback amber. That's a 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:15.800 lot of stuff, by the way, Yeah, a lot, no 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:17.720 but done, I'm serious, Like that's where we Yeah, that's 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:21.839 what we saw. Yeah, um, I just feel I don't 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.399 know what to think, but I feel like we're kind 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:28.240 of screwed right now. Um. I mean, this was a 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.520 tough loss, but the way they started the game in 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:35.240 the first half, it I thought by by halftime this 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:39.160 was over. Basically they had this in the bag. I'm like, okay, uh, 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.200 they did. They're really good. I thought Kellen Moore came 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:44.839 out with some things that were pretty impressive, but then 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.960 everything just kind of disappeared in the second half. So 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:52.200 that's what really bothers me is the them not being 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:57.040 capable of really kind of being consistent really all throughout 0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:58.799 the season. I think that has been one of their 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:02.560 biggest issues on all offense, just being consistent and stick 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:05.840 into what works and just being able to carry that. 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:11.040 I don't feel good whatsoever on what's happening on defense. 0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:16.960 I'm extremely concerned at corner with Kelvin Joseph and what's 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:20.000 to come. I don't really know how they can fix 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:22.040 that in the amount of time that we have right now. 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:25.120 I don't know how who they could even bring at 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:27.440 this point, and then the guys that they ended up 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:30.760 bringing in when they decided to bench him and sit 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.320 him out. I don't think they're ready either, So I 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:35.960 don't know what's going to happen there. But that's definitely 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:41.640 an area where teams, especially this weekend, the other teams 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:43.800 are going to try to exploit there. So I'm just 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:47.920 it's hard to see the positive side at this point. 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.800 Right now, you get a right tackle, you figured out 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:52.720 the right tackle spot, Just go ahead and play Tyrn 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:56.360 Smith at right tackle. You know, I think offensively, it's 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.040 kind of unfortunate how the game unfolded for you there. 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:01.840 You know, with the drive I hated it came down 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:05.360 to that final trying to kill the clock. You know, 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:09.480 with the play, the play call, maybe the fifty fifty ball, 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:12.960 you throw it to Gallop. He's made incredible catches doing that, 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:16.760 draws pass interference calls. You know, maybe you get one 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:19.240 on that. I think you scored enough points to win 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:22.400 this football game, for sure. The problem is when you 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:26.240 don't get pass rush or you don't have the opportunity 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:28.479 to affect the other team with pass russ you're a 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:33.880 very ordinary defense and the cornerback spot. You know, I'm 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:36.000 one of these guys that talks about Kelvin Joseph and 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:39.120 needing getting opportunity. The play that he was beat on 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:42.279 was off coverage, with him having to make a decision 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:45.359 on do I drive do I not drive? You know, 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:48.560 at the double move stuff. For him playing off coverage. 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:50.960 We've talked about that a bunch on this show. It's 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:54.680 not his suit because he has to think about you know, 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:56.960 he has to think about, Okay, do I drive on this? 0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:58.880 And if he drives on it, maybe there's a chance 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:01.640 for contact, maybe there's a chance for you know, all 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:04.440 kinds of bad things. You know, that's a little bit 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:07.440 on coaching though, you know, when you can't just totally 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:09.960 play man coverage the whole game or play him up 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:12.880 the whole game. But that's the problems that you're gonna 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.320 run into when you you know, now, defense had a 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:17.600 chance to get off the field at the end of regulation. 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:21.040 You know, if you somehow Armstrong when they hadn't they 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:24.000 got one sack in this game, Armstrong has a chance 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:26.679 to get Lawrence down. He doesn't tackle him, he doesn't 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:29.760 get the sack. Laurence flings the ball to the back 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.200 and the back gets out of bounce. You know, that 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:35.680 could have been killer for them right there. Sack clocks moving, 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.120 have to maybe use a time out. You know, now 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:41.799 you're in a whole situation. Ball goes to the other side. 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:43.760 Now it's going out to curse. He's got him on 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:47.040 the numbers. You know, basically try and break his leg 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.600 if you have to. I'm sorry it sounds brutal, but 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:52.000 it's but you got to just drop him right there. 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:55.279 I mean, you gotta do the Dak Prescott, I'm breaking 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:57.560 your ankle move is and I'm sorry, I don't mean 0:05:57.600 --> 0:05:59.960 to sound brutal about it, but that's what you have 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:02.240 to do. You cannot let him drag you from the 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:05.400 numbers to the out of bounds. You can't do that. 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:09.320 That's another situation right there. So you know, this game, 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:13.800 the way it materialized, there were some positive things about 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:16.880 this there really really was. But the things when you 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:21.800 absolutely needed to finish them, you couldn't do it. That's 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:25.919 my concern is how do you finish these teams? You know, 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:29.479 when you get a chance to either pass rush or 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:34.440 tackling or getting her first down. That's the biggest concern 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:37.920 I have about this football team because they can't do 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:41.719 it right now and going into the playoffs, that's something 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:43.960 you're gonna need to have You're gonna need to have that. 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:47.120 Maybe some of the games earlier we saw that, but 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:50.919 now you don't have that ability. That's two weeks of 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:54.760 bad football. I mean, they walked out of the game 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.680 against the Texans with the win, but that's two weeks done. 0:06:57.720 --> 0:06:59.760 Now we see them struggling at a part of the 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:02.760 reason that you kind of need to be kind of 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:06.520 in your best moment and going with some building some 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:10.280 type of momentum, and it's just it's hard to to 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:16.600 have some hope of what's to come. Well, especially this 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:19.000 week in Christmas. I'll tell you what. In the overtime, 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.640 you know, on the interception, it ended the game. I 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:23.840 love the play call. I wish they had done the 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:26.440 play call on third and ten when they had the 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:31.040 opportunity because I'm always about like try and set guys 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:33.800 up to get them open. Now people say, well, why 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.720 are you throwing the ball to Noah Brown? Well, and like, 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:39.720 if really in this game then second half, they weren't 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.440 going to let Ceedee Lamb catch the football. They just weren't, 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:44.960 you know, but you could set it up where they 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:47.200 were killing and I'm just talking about off the all 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:50.000 twenty two. They were in a double pick, you know, 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:53.280 and it's it's works and Dak put the ball in 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:55.640 a good spot because earlier in the game, early in 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.760 the game, before Noah Brown's touchdown, he caught a ball 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:02.560 literally the same way. So you're like going, we've seen 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:05.280 this before. Yeah, we've seen this. So you know, when 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:08.360 you when you want to talk about being clutch at 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:12.280 that right moment, you know, that's the that's the thing 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:16.400 that eludes this team sometimes. And that's again that's my 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:18.960 bigger problems. And I think frankly that I know a 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:20.600 lot of people last week were saying, why are the 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:23.600 Cowboys are looking at the wide receiver position. I think 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:28.400 that showed me why right now you're not getting the 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:32.120 consistent production. And in that situation, Dak put that ball 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:33.760 right and I hate that it has to go on 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:37.000 dat stat line as an interception, but that he put 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.400 the money, the ball right on the money and and 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:41.320 just couldn't come up with the catch. And I think 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:43.880 having a more experienced guy maybe t why Hilton can 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:46.200 be that that more experienced gab Brian, You've been talking 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:48.960 about this for a few weeks. In that last situation 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:50.440 where you just need a guy to be able to 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:53.080 make that clutch catch. Maybe t why Hilton is a 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:55.760 better option than Noah Brown. Let's let's dive into some 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:58.040 of the smaller details of the game. I do want 0:08:58.040 --> 0:08:59.720 to talk about that moment, Nick and you and I talk. 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:01.840 Nick and I talked a lot about this in the 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.640 press box, and even before it happened, Like as soon 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:06.440 as they made the past we both were like, that 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.400 was a bad decision. But the situation was fourth quarter, 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:12.839 minute twenty left, third and ten at the Dallas thirty eight. 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:17.200 Jacksonville has one time out left. Dallas opts to throw 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:20.400 a deep pass to Noah Brown on the left side 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:24.080 of the field. It's incomplete. They end up in a 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.880 situation where they don't have to use that timeout, which 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.600 later in the game, ironically, they get into a situation 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:31.720 where they have to review that to get them the 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:35.200 time out back. And that shows you just how valuable 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:37.120 it was. Nick, you were in there listening to coach 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:39.000 McCarthy after the game, What do you have to say 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:44.439 about why they made that decision? He kind of avoided 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:47.480 the question a little bit. He just talked about He's 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:49.320 I don't know, I can go back and listen because 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.079 he said something like he had they had they had 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:53.760 a time out, so they were going to use it, 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:58.360 and we're just trying to be aggressive there. I don't know. 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:00.840 I kind of was like, I didn't I didn't agree. 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:02.439 There wasn't not going to be an answer that that 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:07.120 got me to agree with that. It's not um And 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:09.040 I wrote in the article, I'm not throwing that to 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:12.480 Randy Moss, I'm not or Jerry Rice. That's not That's 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:14.319 not what I'm I'm trying to do there. I mean, 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:17.120 it's that's not the place, certainly not the North Brown. 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:20.200 And again I say this, Dak. I love what Dak. 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:23.160 He played a good game to yesterday. To me, I 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:25.360 think he played a really good the touchdown throw that 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:27.079 could have been the game winner. I mean that was 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.439 a spin out. I mean that was a great play. 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:33.040 But that is not his thing. Standing back there and 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:35.439 just making the deep throw. He's good on the run 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:37.160 and all that, but just the deep throat. That's why 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:39.200 I've said I don't think that's his strong suit. The 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:42.360 bat wasn't even in bounds. It's not a smart call. 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.520 And I don't care. I'm not calling Kellen Moore on 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:46.640 that one. The head coach has got to say, run 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:49.320 the football three times. It doesn't have to be right 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.600 up the middle, run to the outside pitch. You didn't like, 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:55.280 you didn't like the idea, but I'm fine with turfen 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:58.000 taking reverse as long as you don't go out of bounds. 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:01.000 Just something wide. They just stretch, maybe you bust it, 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:04.480 maybe something happens. You just tell your guys absolutely, do 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:07.400 not hold because if you get a hold. Yeah. The 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:08.880 thing about it is if you're going to throw the 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.800 ball in that situation, throwing them first down, you know, 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.840 get in you know, because they you basically by formation, 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:17.319 you show them what you were going to do throwing 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:20.240 the football, you would you basically kept the tied end 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:22.120 in the back end. And it's almost like it was 0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:25.199 a punt protection kind of a throw is really what 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.480 it was. But you know, and then you know, you 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:29.600 get the pressure and stuff. So yeah, I mean it's 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:33.080 it's it's a tough call. It really really is. To me. 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:36.680 I know, you're in a situation. I understand they're trying 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:39.160 to end the game. Because I always get on coaches 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:42.600 about this. They don't know the condition of their team 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.559 and the condition of your defense. In the second half 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:49.120 was not good. Now I'm thinking to something like, Okay, 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:51.040 if we can get a first down here, we're gonna 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:52.680 end this game and I'm not going to have to 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:56.440 put my defense back out there again. I understand that. 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:59.959 I appreciate that. I just didn't like what you die 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.400 piled up there. I just didn't you had a better chance. 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:04.920 I can say with the with you, look what Jacksonville 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:08.120 and Doug Peterson, We're able to do. The picks, the rubs, 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:12.120 the things make these officials call a penalty if it's 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.800 if you're gonna run a like I say, the ball 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:17.120 to Noah Brown should have been a first down. It 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:19.200 should have been a first down and the drive should 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:21.880 have kept going because it was a good call. I mean, 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.280 they got what they wanted they got there. It just 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:28.280 ball clanged off the receiver. That's the issue there. So 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:32.680 to me, I like the idea of trying to trying 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:35.680 to not put the defense back out there again. I 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:38.719 hate the play that they used to try and get 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:41.960 to that. A fifty fifty ball to Noah Brown to me, 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:45.240 is not a great option there. It's just not And 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.880 that's my thing. I don't have I honestly don't have 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.120 as much of a problem if they opted to say 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:53.560 we're going to be aggressive and go for the first down, 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:55.520 which means we're probably going to throw the ball here. 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:59.239 Right if you tell me I got this one play 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.880 that we have been work exactly. We know we can 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:03.959 make this, We know we can get You can't give 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:05.920 me the best play call. Yeah, you can't tell him 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:08.199 me that a deep ball to Noah Brown down the 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:10.760 left sideline is the best thing you got to throw 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:12.720 up in that kind of situation. If it is, shame 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:15.240 on you. Yeah, like shame on you. That's just to me, 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.920 that is that is not they didn't give themselves the 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:20.920 best chance if they wanted to be aggressive. But you's 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:22.839 gotta be aggressive. You gotta have the right see running 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:25.720 the football there and burning the timeouts. That's not a 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:29.600 bad That's not bad, not bad at all. The problem is, 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.080 like I said, I'm I'm just looking at a defense 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:35.440 that you know hasn't really stopped anybody. You know, I'm 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:38.040 saying the second half and I'm thinking, damn, if they 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:40.960 could just get one first down, this think's over, you know. 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.240 But I would have thrown the ball first down like 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:45.800 a waggle or a boot you know, hard play action, 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:48.640 booted out there, throw it to Schultz. It's like eight 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:52.200 nine yards and now you're second and one, and now 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:55.000 they're burning timeouts. Now you're running the ball. You know, 0:13:55.360 --> 0:14:00.360 it's just the sequence of run and then a toss 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:03.400 and then you know, and then the deep pass. It's like, 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:08.120 the sequencing of plays just wasn't right for me. And 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:10.920 I'm not a coach, but I've seen enough football where 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:14.360 I know this is how teams, like the really creative teams, 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:17.520 they end games. They think, Okay, we're gonna load them, 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:19.520 stop the run here, and then you go heavy play. 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:21.880 You go heavy play action and a guy just leaks 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:23.160 out of the bell and they just full and they 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:25.280 hit it and it's a nine yard game. And then 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:27.320 now the clocks move, and honestly, all you really need 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:29.000 it was positive yards right there on that first down 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:31.360 one they got negative three. Yeah, that kills you right there. Yeah, 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:33.960 But if you're getting six seven yards even that sets 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:36.160 up a whole different scenario. And then you still get 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:38.840 them to burn those timeouts. And as you're getting yards 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:41.880 and making them burn timeouts, the closer you get down 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:43.680 the field, and then now you punt it get an 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:46.400 all an All, a Pro Bowl punter, you know, you 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:47.920 maybe pin it down there and make them, you know, 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:51.160 have to deal with all that. But man, that was 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:53.920 his punt could have been better than yeah, no doubt, 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:56.040 no doubt, high enough, And they got too much of 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:58.200 a return on that one. And that guy's a good 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:01.720 punt returner. Two, I'm not kicking the by him handing 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:03.520 the ball in the jet sweep, So throwing it to 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:05.960 him was big, you know for these guys, you know, 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:09.360 with what they were able to do, that's tough. All right, 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:11.120 We're going to take our first break when we come back. 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:14.240 Let's talk about Dak Prescott had an interesting day. You 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:16.440 look at his numbers. He had, I think, as Nick 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:19.520 pointed out, a really good day. There were they interceptions. 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:21.120 We'll talk about those when we come back at Stas 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:24.600 Cowboys dot Com Radio.

It's It's interesting how I've 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:58.080 heard people say when you talk it out, you feel better. 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:00.560 I already feel better after that first segment. I don't 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:04.280 know about you, guys playoffs. It's not like I'm starting 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:06.480 to feel it better. Not necessarily better about this team, 0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:08.719 because I still feel like they got some real issues, 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:11.120 but I'm starting to just like the weight of what 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:13.359 I was feeling this morning and starting to be lifted. 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:16.240 I feel, to me, I look at it like everything 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:21.880 that goes up, you're making no sense. I feel this game, 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:24.320 we keep talking about it, and in fact, you will 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:26.440 make me even more mad if we keep talking about 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:32.520 I just I feel like everything that goes up comes down. 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:38.520 I believe that, and we've seen that. They've seen that. 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:45.080 Thank you well proven. You should have gotten your ass 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:48.120 kicked by Houston. You got lucky to win that game. 0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:51.399 You played the crap and you lost, but you figured 0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:54.040 out a way to win. You figured out a way 0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:57.080 to lose this game. You shouldn't have lost either one 0:18:57.119 --> 0:18:59.560 of those two teams. But they're not playing at that level. 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:02.320 And so you know what, if you keep putting your 0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:06.040 hand inside like the aquarium where the snake is, they're 0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:08.080 gonna bite you at some point that they may not 0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:10.480 want too right then, but they did. And then Jaguars 0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:13.639 came back and did a lot of analogies there. But 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:16.360 I like it. It's good. That's what I do. I'm 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:19.080 you know, I'm about a three hundred hitter when it 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:21.600 comes to those analogies, about three out of ten. All right, 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:23.960 all right, let's talk about Dak Prescott. Yesterday. He was 0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:28.000 twenty three or thirty seventy seven percent completion rate, really good, 0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:30.639 two hundred and fifty six yards, three touchdowns. That's usually 0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:34.360 a storyline right there, right, two interceptions, that's that's where 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:36.760 the story he starts to change. One hundred and seven 0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:39.119 point one rating. And he also had five rushes for 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:40.880 twenty yards, which, by the way, I loved how he's 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:42.719 running the ball yesterday. He was running the ball like 0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:45.280 old school Dak. Yeah, that was like if you're coming 0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:48.000 you better come, and I think that's what this team 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:50.199 needs from him. That being said, let's go back to 0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:53.920 the two interceptions. What happened and who was at fault. 0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:55.480 We talked a little bit about the second one. What 0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:57.320 happened on the first one particularly, I think he is 0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:01.200 he double pumped the ball. He when he went back, 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:05.640
