00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: I'm Kyle Yeomans. Thirty four to ten Cowboys fall.

15
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: Houston Texans hand the Cowboys their seventh loss of the season.

16
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: They are now three and seven, ten games in. But

17
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 1: there's still a chance.

18
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 2: Kyle, no quarterback, no tight end, no three fifths of

19
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 2: your offensive line, no edge rushers, no.

20
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: Corners, step on the field and you play a game.

21
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: You have a chance to run the table and get

22
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: seventh straight. You have a chance.

23
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 2: So the best case scenario is you roll off seven

24
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: straight and you're ten and seven and.

25
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: You may get in. Yeah, but look at the team.

26
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 4: Look at the teams that you're playing that are left, Kyle,

27
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,559
Speaker 4: there's so much optimism left, and you're.

28
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: Gonna want we scored on that man? Are he's most

29
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: of these teams, Most of the teams playoff team, Most

30
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: of the teams are about to play have losing records. Yeah,

31
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna win some games, but come on, no seat,

32
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: are you?

33
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 3: Yes?

34
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: I like the story of that reality. See yeah, come on, Kyle,

35
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: all listen.

36
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 3: They're even if they know put this in science lab

37
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 3: last week, so check out check it out on the

38
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 3: dot com, ladies and gentlemen. Even if the Cowboys had

39
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 3: won this game, their playoff odds would have gone.

40
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: To a whopping there's a chance.

41
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 3: Because they lost, and it now drops to less than

42
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 3: one percent. They have a less than one percent chance

43
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 3: of making the playoffs. But right, I mean, mathematically speaking,

44
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 3: they have not been eliminated from the playoffs as we

45
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 3: have this conversation. Realistically speaking, don't expect them to be

46
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 3: in the playoffs as we have this conversation.

47
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 4: Listen, you cannot count them moundtil stuff starts falling from

48
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 4: this guy.

49
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: Oh well, I'm not going to hit that. We're not

50
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: going to talk about that. We're not going to talk

51
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 1: about that. But this guy is falling.

52
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely proverbially speaking, Yeah you did.

53
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 5: Yeah.

54
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, things aren't well right now with the Dallas

55
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 2: Cowboys thirty four to ten.

56
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: And I mean, there were good things in this game.

57
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 2: A lot of people were talk talking about all the bad.

58
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 2: There's a lot of bad, don't get me wrong. There's

59
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 2: a spurt of good, but there was a little Yeah,

60
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 2: there's a like in between the first and the fourth

61
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 2: quarters where you gave up fourteen unanswered points, you felt

62
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: decent about your second.

63
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 6: Takes a quarter.

64
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: It's good spurts.

65
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 4: It's more than what we've had in the past. It

66
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 4: felt worse than what it was. I think it was ugly,

67
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 4: but it felt worse than what it actually was. I mean,

68
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 4: you didn't have a bunch of turnovers. You put the

69
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 4: ball on the ground a bunch of times, but you

70
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 4: didn't have a bunch of turnovers. You were in I

71
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 4: don't think you're supposed to do that either. No, you're

72
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 4: definitely not supposed to do that, but I mean, you

73
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,839
Speaker 4: should have had at least at least five interceptions.

74
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: Should have but you didn't, right, but you should have.

75
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 6: One of the most shocking things.

76
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 7: I don't think Houston played very well, and I don't

77
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 7: think they're a really great team either.

78
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 3: I agree with you on both points. I just wonder

79
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 3: if Houston is caught in the in their own hype.

80
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 3: It's like my late grandma used to say, you're smelling yourself, right, Yeah,

81
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 3: I mean the coming off of the playoff berth last season,

82
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 3: and then they kind of raded off to a hot

83
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 3: start this season and the kind of started feeling themselves

84
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 3: and forgot that they got to actually play up to

85
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 3: a particular standard every single week, which is why they

86
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 3: were on the two game losing streak in the first place,

87
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 3: one of those.

88
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: Losses being to the Jets.

89
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 3: Of all teams, they were competitive against the Lions, but

90
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 3: they let the Lions come back in the second half.

91
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 3: But if you saw what they were doing against the Cowboys,

92
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 3: it did feel like they were playing down a bit.

93
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 3: But the Cowboys could have taken advantage of that, and

94
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 3: they just found ways to not take advantage of it.

95
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 3: So you know, whether it be lack of execution. Like

96
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 3: you talk about the the interception from Cooper Rush, which

97
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 3: looked like a miscommunication between Rush and Ceedee Lamb.

98
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't think he got knocked on the rock. Okay,

99
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: six yards deep?

100
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 4: It could have been should have been a legal contact.

101
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: It was definitely six yards.

102
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 2: They were talking about it on the broadcast and they're like,

103
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 2: I could have been and then he was like, no,

104
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 2: I was right on the border of five yards.

105
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, I'm gonna count one.

106
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 4: Sitting right next to Kyle when the game this morning,

107
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 4: I was like, that's a legal contact.

108
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, fair enough, So we'll delete that. But what you

109
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 3: can't delete is the fake punt attempt interception and the

110
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 3: desperation move and the fourth down first, the decision to

111
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 3: go for it on fourth down instead of take that

112
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 3: field goal. You took three points off of the board there.

113
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 3: That's six points that were left on the field if

114
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 3: you include Brandon Aubrey missing, and then I mean we'll

115
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 3: get into the point downhill from there. Yeah, we'll get

116
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 3: into the whole. I don't know, find me a new

117
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 3: table to stand on, because apparently the one I'm standing

118
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 3: on is just not working.

119
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:48,119
Speaker 1: The Trey Lance.

120
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 5: What what?

121
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: What?

122
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: Why not? Why not? Because he's not a good quarterback? Patrick,

123
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: That's where I'm saying he's not a good quarterback. Can

124
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: ask you a question, Yes, okay, you if you believe

125
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: let me free it this way?

126
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,239
Speaker 3: When you're first in goal, yeah, and you can't score

127
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 3: and you can't score, yeah, would you would you prefer

128
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 3: to see Trey Lance in on that situation?

129
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:16,239
Speaker 1: Yeah? Probably?

130
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 3: Okay, So that means in that situation at least he's

131
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 3: the better and that he's a better option.

132
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: He's a threat.

133
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 3: So we can agree, we can split the baby, and

134
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 3: we can agree situations where Trey Lance is a better option, yes,

135
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 3: and yet we are not seeing him on the field

136
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 3: in those circumstances at all.

137
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 7: But McCarthy was very clear in his press conference though

138
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 7: that you know he regrets not putting Tree Lance there

139
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 7: in correct, so.

140
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: Find being for what he did say it. Yeah, I

141
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: he's owning it. That's the thing that we talked about

142
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. I agree with you.

143
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 2: I think they should utilize both guys. I think they

144
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 2: should utilize Cooper Rush and Trey Lance. But if you're

145
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 2: telling me Trey Lance is going to make the difference

146
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 2: between a thirty four to ten football game.

147
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: No, it's not to happen, period.

148
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 3: It was never My stance was evaluate them and if

149
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 3: you if your argument, if your argument is that Cooper

150
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 3: Rush gives you the best chance to win, the only

151
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 3: way to prove to me that your goal is in

152
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 3: fact to win that game. If that is that that's

153
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 3: your goal, if that's your take, is in those situations

154
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 3: wherein Trey Lance gives you the better chance of either

155
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 3: moving the chains or getting into the end zone, why

156
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 3: is he not on the field.

157
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 2: Because I don't think McCarthy believes that. I think McCarthy

158
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 2: believes Cooper Rush is the best chance to win.

159
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: Because Ry Jones that it goes back to what, wait,

160
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: does he regret what we've talked about it? I don't know.

161
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 4: J Jones said, again, that's McCarthy's thing.

162
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,239
Speaker 1: We've talked about this before.

163
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 2: This is an evaluation process for everybody that is going

164
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 2: to be around the Cowboys for a significant period of time.

165
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: I don't think you can look at that coaching staff right.

166
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 2: Now and say one of those guys is going to

167
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: be here for a significant period of time. Everyone is

168
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 2: in question. Everyone on the staff on the staff right now.

169
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 2: So if they're not looking to evaluate.

170
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: They're looking to win games. And as sucky as it is,

171
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: you just don't have.

172
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 2: A very good football team, whether it's by injuries or

173
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 2: by depth. We talked about at the beginning of the

174
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 2: year this show. We sat on this show in training

175
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 2: camp and said, the depth on this team is not

176
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 2: very good.

177
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: We do not have a ton of depth.

178
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 2: You said it, You said it, you said it, I

179
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 2: said it. And if there were injuries and specific spots

180
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 2: on the roster, and.

181
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: There were a lot of them, there will be problems.

182
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: We got more.

183
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, yes you're ready for those news, and

184
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 4: but why not since we're just going ahead and your hand,

185
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 4: I'm slapping somebody with the other.

186
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm here for I'm here for playing off of

187
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 3: each other since you break up injuries. So we're not

188
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 3: going to have a ton of information quite yet because

189
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 3: it's a quick turnaround to this show from a prime

190
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 3: time game last night.

191
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: But here's what we do know.

192
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 3: We do know that Jake Ferguson is officially in the

193
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 3: concussion protocol. That does not bold well for the Pro

194
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 3: Bowl tight end. Because this is a short week going

195
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 3: into to the Washington Commander's game, and it is very unlikely.

196
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 3: We'll see how he progresses, but it is very unlikely

197
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 3: that Ferguson clears concussion protocol in time to make the

198
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 3: flight to the nation's capital to take on Dan Quinn

199
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 3: and those guys. Zach Martin, who has been dealing with

200
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 3: several issues, a back issue several weeks ago, shoulder issue

201
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 3: as recently as this week, and an ankle issue that

202
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 3: was prior to going into this game. He was knocked

203
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 3: out of this game with an ankle issue. The other

204
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 3: ankle okay, so future first ballot Hall of Famer. All

205
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 3: we can do is keep our fingers crossed and hope

206
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 3: that those weren't the final snaps for Zack Martin in

207
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 3: a Dallas Cowboys uniform. More information to come on that

208
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 3: as the yes the next several days move forward. Let's

209
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 3: keep it to the offensive line, because apparently fate hates

210
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 3: us so much.

211
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: Tyler Smith.

212
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 3: Not long after you lose Zach Martin to an ankle injury,

213
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 3: you lose Tyler Smith to an injury.

214
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: What was the injury? An ankle injury?

215
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 3: Can't make this stuff up, man, two words. Murphy's long

216
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 3: so Tyler Smith also dealing with the ankle injury. Now,

217
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,719
Speaker 3: I will say Tyler spoke. Smith spoke in the locker room,

218
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 3: and he was in solid spirits in regards to the injury.

219
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 3: He didn't sound too concerned about it. Obviously, he voiced

220
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 3: a lot of frustration for what's going on with the season,

221
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 3: how it's kind of circling the porcelain bowl. But he

222
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 3: said that you know, he's a competitor quote unquote, I'm

223
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 3: not fin a tank. I'm not Finnah go in the tank.

224
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 3: End quote. But nonetheless, we don't know what his availability

225
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 3: will be like on a short week either. So you

226
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 3: have your two guards. That should be it for the offense. No,

227
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 3: that's not it for the offensive line because Tyler Geyton

228
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 3: was also knocked out of the game on a play

229
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 3: that involved not one fumble but two fumbles. Because the

230
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 3: offensive tackles in Dallas like to that. Yeah, they like

231
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 3: to become ball carriers. So on the play we're we're in,

232
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 3: Cooper us fumbled because the pressure was allowed by Tyler

233
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 3: guydon pressure gets there, Cooper Rush fumbles. Tyler Goyton gets

234
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 3: the ball that run and he gets absolutely lit up

235
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 3: and he fumbles and he.

236
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: Did not come back in the game after that. So

237
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 1: shoulder injury is what he entered the game with.

238
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 3: And if you go back and look at the film

239
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,599
Speaker 3: of that hit right dead on the shoulder, on that

240
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 3: exact shoulder. So we don't know that Tyler Gotton will

241
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 3: be ready to go against Washington. So before I give

242
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 3: you this fifth and final injury from yesterday, you have

243
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 3: Tyler Goton, Tyler Smith, Zach Martin. You have three starters

244
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 3: on your offensive line who may or may not play

245
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,599
Speaker 3: against the Commanders as you try to keep three and

246
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 3: eight away. So good luck Marquise Bell. He suffered a

247
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 3: marquis shoulder injury. Shoulder, Yeah, he walked out.

248
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: Yeah bad. Initially it's bad. Yeah, it looks bad.

249
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 3: And I don't want to say probably, we'll wait for

250
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 3: more tests, but it does look bad.

251
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: Does not look promising. Hoping for the best for Marquis Bell.

252
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 6: Not to speculate, but it kind of looked like it

253
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 6: was like a hyper extension.

254
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: It just it looked very It wasn't where it's supposed

255
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: to be.

256
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, a couple So the Cowboys entered this game with

257
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 3: eighteen guys on the injury report and they just added

258
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 3: some more as far as because Marquis Bell wasn't on

259
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,599
Speaker 3: there for one, Tyler Smith on there, but those that

260
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 3: are on there that but it's worse now, So they

261
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 3: didn't escape clean or anything remotely.

262
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: Things just continue to get worse for the cous.

263
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 6: And only have five days to play the next game.

264
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,839
Speaker 1: Right before travel. Yeah, and then you turn around you

265
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: play on Thursday too, So three.

266
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 3: Years, all of all the times to have this new spurt,

267
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 3: you like spurts, this new spurt of injuries.

268
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 6: Were getting spurted on for sure.

269
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's about right.

270
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 2: So that brings my conversation piece to kind of what

271
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones said on the Fan today because he had

272
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 2: some updates on one oh five three the Fan.

273
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: Initially earlier this.

274
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 2: Season, he was asked how do injuries affect your evaluation

275
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,599
Speaker 2: of the coaching staff, and he, at least in the

276
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 2: initial interview, said it doesn't affect it. We're going to

277
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 2: evaluate the coaching staff as its own, as its own entity,

278
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 2: as its own thing.

279
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: Injuries are a part of the game, so we're going

280
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: to evaluate as such.

281
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 2: He was asked the same question today and he had

282
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 2: a different answer to He said, absolutely it does change.

283
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: The way that we look at the coaching staff.

284
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 2: So I don't want to talk about jobs or lost

285
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 2: thereof or anything like that, but just from a microcosm

286
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 2: of the twenty twenty four season, how much can you

287
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 2: put on injuries because it's starting to become unbelievable the

288
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 2: list that is being rolled out there a week to week.

289
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 7: I like what Isaia said a couple of weeks ago,

290
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 7: where it's like the when you're losing like this, the

291
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 7: injury lists tends to grow.

292
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 6: I think that's an apt.

293
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 7: Reasoning behind a lot of it, and obviously a lot

294
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 7: of bad luck too. I don't know what we did

295
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 7: god to deserve the injury bug that we've been bitten by,

296
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 7: but it is disheartening when you see your best players

297
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 7: go down like this. It's disheartening to see a player

298
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 7: the caliber of Zach Martin struggle to stand up after

299
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 7: taking another injury to his different ankle, right, it is

300
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 7: really really disheartening.

301
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 6: I mean, it's just, yeah, it's not going our way, man.

302
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 7: And I don't think you can necessarily say it is

303
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 7: just the injuries, because before this, even at New York,

304
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 7: when you were at full strength for the most part,

305
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 7: it wasn't looking great. Granted he won that game, granted

306
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 7: you won Pittsburgh. It just it just felt like a down,

307
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 7: downward spiral, even with full health. I just don't think

308
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 7: this team was built to withstand the season. Like we

309
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 7: talked about death coming into the season, and here we

310
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 7: gorease its head again.

311
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 3: That's where I am with it. The last thing, the

312
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 3: least portion of what Josh said, is kind of where

313
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 3: I am with it. First of all, it's the NFL.

314
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 3: Every team deals with injuries, and I get it. Every

315
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 3: team deals with different levels of injuries, different magnitudes of injuries.

316
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: I get it.

317
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 3: That being said, they were playing bad football before the

318
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 3: injury started to ravage them. So for me, that means

319
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 3: it's a wash for me because you were really low

320
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 3: on your playoff percentage as far as possibly making the playoffs.

321
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 3: You were almost out the door before you lost that Prescott,

322
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 3: before you started to lose some of these other major guys.

323
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: So you can blame some of this on the injuries.

324
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 3: But once this season is in the books, anyone who

325
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 3: comes up to me and tries to hang whatever this

326
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 3: final record is solely on injuries, say, oh well, no,

327
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 3: see it was because I'm going to laugh at you

328
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 3: that no injuries at after you got past the event

329
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 3: horizon of virtually being eliminated from the playoffs, that's when

330
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 3: the injury bug really or when you were teetering there,

331
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 3: that's when the injury bug really started to kind of

332
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 3: make sure that you wouldn't make the playoffs. But you

333
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 3: got there before the injury bug went crazy. So yeah,

334
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 3: I think that's a watch for me.

335
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 6: What the Ravens did do you It's like that that

336
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 6: was what the Saints did do. That's that's the team

337
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 6: that Yeah, that was weak.

338
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: Two. Well, I completely agree with that sentiment because.

339
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 2: I think going into the Atlanta game, I'll say, going

340
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 2: into Atlanta, you probably thought that this is a normal

341
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 2: level of injuries outside.

342
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: Of maybe your edge rushers. Your edge rushers, you got

343
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: decimated for sure, Yeah, all the way through.

344
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 2: And you didn't have DeMarcus Lawrence, Sam Williams, Michael Parsons,

345
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 2: those guys. You you had one position that was overly

346
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 2: decimated with injuries. Other than that, you have a healthy

347
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 2: offensive line, you had a healthy running back room, you

348
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 2: have a healthy wide receiver corps except for Brandon Cooks.

349
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: You've got a healthy linebacker corps. For the most part,

350
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: your corners are banged up, but.

351
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 2: At that point you only were really missing Doron Bland

352
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 2: as a guy that was going to be.

353
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 1: A starter moving forward, So your running back corps was whole. Yeah,

354
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: I said that.

355
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 2: So there's I think there's ways that you can look

356
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 2: at it and say, yeah, they were decimated by injuries

357
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 2: throughout the season. Absolutely in certain spots, but there are

358
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 2: a lot of parts of your football team that just

359
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 2: weren't having success with or without injuries previously. Now it's

360
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 2: snowball significantly, and it's not just like what Isaiah said

361
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 2: last week where he was saying there's a difference between

362
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 2: being hurt and injured that I think that plays a

363
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 2: factor in a season like this. There are just a

364
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 2: lot of guys that are actually injured, especially yesterday, Martin.

365
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,239
Speaker 1: Being one of them, Bell being another one of them.

366
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 2: Jake Ferguson Jerry Jones said this morning that he has

367
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 2: some concern, a level of concern whenever it comes to

368
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 2: the concussion because it was an immediate thing where he.

369
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: Was pulled out of the game.

370
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 2: So this is this is a not only is it

371
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 2: a bad football team from what we saw previously, but

372
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 2: now it's a bad and banged up football team. That's

373
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 2: where we are for the twenty twenty four Dallas Cowboys.

374
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 4: And yet I still think that there's a glimmer of hope,

375
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 4: young fellas.

376
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: I don't believe you.

377
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 4: It's okay, Kyle's I'm not here to convince you.

378
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: I'm just here to tell the truth. I want you

379
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 1: to convince me. I don't need to convince you, Kyle.

380
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: The facts that are facts.

381
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 4: These guys, if they can figure out how to muster

382
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 4: up some form of offense, this defense is starting to somewhat.

383
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: Look like they're respectable.

384
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 4: M There's there's actual flashes there. Now you have Demo,

385
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 4: you have Micah. Those guys are adding pressure. Those guys

386
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 4: are causing problems for all the quarterbacks we were able

387
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 4: to see on third down situations. Demo, you know obviously,

388
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 4: now when you walk have Michael Parsons and a Demo

389
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 4: and the other guys up there Kendricks on the field,

390
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 4: and now all of a sudden, that double a gap

391
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 4: looks a little bit better, it looks a little bit

392
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 4: more effective. I'm not saying up here trying to sell

393
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 4: wolf dreams at all. Woof tickets. But I think if

394
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 4: you can get something going on offense, you will see

395
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 4: a spark.

396
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: I truly do think that you.

397
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 4: Will see a spark because right now you're seeing flashes. Right,

398
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 4: it's like dog going like your car just won't turn over,

399
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying.

400
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: Like this offense will turnover.

401
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 4: I mean, but like if they can figure that out, right,

402
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 4: if they can figure that out, I never seeing about

403
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 4: talking about trade.

404
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: And I think you're obviously Cooper has not had He's

405
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 1: had two bad games. He was offline yesterday. He was

406
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: throwing stuff all over the place. I don't know what.

407
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 4: He's just trying to find himself in this off servers

408
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 4: a lot. He's trying to find himself in this offense. Right,

409
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 4: we can't compare him to We can't say to five

410
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 4: and three. Uh now, now five and three Cooper Rush,

411
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 4: that office was different. This office is sputtering, to say

412
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 4: the least. I mean, this is like one touchdowns past

413
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:54,479
Speaker 4: Dak was in here.

414
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: It's bad.

415
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 4: So now you have to put that in Mike McCarthy

416
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 4: and Brian Sharton Himer's lab. Right, So you're not your Yeah,

417
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 4: you're not going to get that play from your QB.

418
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 4: So now what can I do play call wise that

419
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 4: can at least enlist some positivity consistently, right, we have

420
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 4: to get something on. The running game is not going

421
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 4: your office of line you're missing three, you're starting offensive

422
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,479
Speaker 4: lineman now. So now it's on the coaches more than

423
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 4: ever to create something. And I truly believe with this

424
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 4: schedule that you have coming up, you have a chance

425
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 4: to go forur and on the next four games. And

426
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 4: I know that sounds crazy coming off these last two games,

427
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 4: but I'm just looking at it into being.

428
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: Real with you. You're crazy. You're crazy, man. If you

429
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: can get that going this week.

430
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 4: And coach McCarthy, you got to go borrow somebody's Christmas

431
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 4: bag and dig down there and grab some toys and

432
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 4: get some layaway like we should do at kmart back

433
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 4: in the day.

434
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: Get some layaway toys.

435
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 4: Do that, okay, And Schottenheimer getting your bag as well,

436
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 4: and you guys put together one hell of a game

437
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 4: plan that puts your playmakers in a position to be successful.

438
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: You saw I talked about Cavante turpind weeks ago.

439
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 4: I said, if you can get him going and get

440
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 4: him confident in the slot, heck, weapon. All of a sudden,

441
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 4: you put him in a slide and you get him

442
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 4: on an over route. Uhah, he just runs. I think

443
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 4: it might have been the fastest time in the league

444
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 4: this year.

445
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: In the last four years. Yeah, he's real here.

446
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 4: So that's a weapon. Right, So you're building confidence with

447
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 4: that guy, right, Brandman spam Ford even got.

448
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: Some touches yesterday. Right, So you're getting some guys going.

449
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 4: If you can mustard up something offensively, you just might

450
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 4: get that transmission and the ending to turn over just

451
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 4: a little bit, and then this defense might actually come

452
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 4: to play a little bit because you're starting to see

453
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 4: a little bit of a spark there. But when you

454
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 4: have one side that's having some spurts and then the

455
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 4: other side lets you down, it's like playing it's like

456
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 4: playing full court press, and you got the point man

457
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 4: at the top of the game and he's up there hustling,

458
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 4: but everybody else is just kind of sitting back.

459
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: What's the point in two straight games too? Yeah, it's like,

460
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: what's the point in both games?

461
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 2: A one score game at halftime going into the halftime

462
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 2: break against the Eagles and the Texans because of your defense,

463
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 2: your defense helped serve and the defense gives you a shot.

464
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 7: Like you said, I like what you said about the

465
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 7: defense and how they're there's something there, right, but look

466
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 7: at the circumstances and situations that the offense and now

467
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 7: special teams.

468
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 6: Are putting them in. It is insurmountable.

469
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 7: So the mistakes that they're making on both sides, on

470
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 7: special teams and also.

471
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: Not complimentary ball.

472
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 3: It is not it is not to what you just

473
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 3: said and what I've been saying that in comparison to

474
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,400
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, this is a different outfit for Cooper Rush.

475
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 3: This outfit does not put him in the best position

476
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 3: to succeed because the offensive line it did better last night,

477
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 3: I will say that, but for the most part, they've

478
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 3: had protection issues up front. The rushing attack did him

479
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 3: no favors last night. Rico really struggled last night, and

480
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 3: then so did everyone else. I give a lot of

481
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 3: that credit to the front seven. Oh, that's fair, but

482
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 3: Houston was a really good he didn't have a rushing attack.

483
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, to Lean, they weren't great on the secondary side

484
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: of things.

485
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 3: And then Cooper himself, he was not making good throws,

486
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 3: like a lot of the throws on those cross the routes,

487
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 3: they were behind receivers, they were behind ceed lamb and

488
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 3: things like that. But and I hate to be hate

489
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 3: to be this guy. But let's say they win four

490
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 3: games of the next seven. Okay, do you know what

491
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 3: it does for their playoff lots? I kid you not,

492
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 3: liter really nothing, it would they if they win it.

493
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 3: This is via playoff status dot com. Uh, fantastic sight

494
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 3: if you guys want to keep tracking interesting, if the

495
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 3: Cowboys win four of the next seven games, they still

496
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 3: have less than a one percent chance of making the playoffs.

497
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 6: And it hurts your draft position.

498
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 3: And it hurts you draft position. Now you're wondering based

499
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 3: on what I just said. Well, no, see, how many

500
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 3: do they have to win for it to actually matter?

501
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 3: For it to actually matter, you have to win six

502
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 3: of the next seven. But that only increases you to

503
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 3: fourteen percent. You have a fourteen percent chance if you

504
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 3: want six nine, seven. Correct, That is not winning. That's

505
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 3: not even great. But at least that's conversation. You have

506
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 3: to win seven seven.

507
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 1: I get it, I get it.

508
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 4: Control the controllables. I'm just I'm just speaking literally from

509
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 4: from what I'm seeing, and it's really bad on offense, right,

510
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 4: now if I'm just telling you, if you heard your

511
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 4: no no no if. But again, I'm putting that on

512
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 4: the lap of McCarthy or shot himri. The're coaching for

513
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 4: not only this job, they're coaching for the for the

514
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 4: jobs in the future. That's just the reality.

515
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're not.

516
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 4: It's the probability of them returning here is low. I'm

517
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 4: just gonna say it out there. Okay, it's low. Right,

518
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 4: I'm not calling those shots, but this is this is

519
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 4: keep let's keep it real, Okay. So they're coaching for

520
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 4: for opportunities in the future, whether that's here or whether

521
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 4: that's at another location. That's what they're coaching for. Regardless

522
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 4: of what's going on with this season. They have a

523
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 4: reputation as a coaching staff. People are gonna look back

524
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 4: and look at their film and their decision making. So

525
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 4: I'm putting it in their laps to put together a

526
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 4: game plan that utilizes the resources that they have right

527
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 4: now in their hand. Their old line has beat the crap,

528
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 4: but you have some young guys behind them that are hungry.

529
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 4: You have a hoffman who likes to fight every play

530
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 4: you have. You have a bass who likes who likes

531
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 4: to get after it right, and not just being underwater.

532
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 4: You have some dudes that can get after it. Okay,

533
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 4: you got two money dough. You got some dudes out

534
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 4: there that can play. You don't have no no, no

535
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 4: punks behind them. These guys can step up and play.

536
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 4: But you have to give them purpose. You have to

537
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 4: give them some motivation. You got to give them some encouragement.

538
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 4: And if you do an if you find a way

539
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 4: to mix in some trey lands to get some spark

540
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 4: and move the chains from here and there, you might

541
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 4: just find something. But again that's on the coaches. You're

542
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 4: not gonna You can't just keep calling your game like

543
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 4: normal and expect your players just.

544
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 1: To pick it up. It's not the case, right.

545
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 4: You have to figure out something. And I think if

546
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 4: you do, if you win these next two games, then

547
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 4: guess what Deron Blam might come back right then? Obviously

548
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 4: d Law might say, hmm, maybe I want to come

549
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 4: back now, right, Maybe I want to, Maybe I don't.

550
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 4: Maybe I don't want to sit out here with my

551
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 4: family in this suite. Maybe I want to get out

552
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 4: there and get on the field.

553
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 1: Right. So, now you have some guys that step up there.

554
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: Now all of a sudden your defense. You look around

555
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: your life.

556
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 4: Oh crap, these guys are rolling right, and again, what

557
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 4: that does for your playoffs? That's not in your that's

558
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 4: not your control.

559
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: You control, you control. Again, it's the same offensive players.

560
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna keep this conversation rolling into the second break

561
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 2: because we've got to take her first one. When we

562
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 2: come back, we'll continue this conversation talk about the schedule

563
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 2: ahead and some of the winnable games that are there,

564
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 2: and how do you get there. That's my question is

565
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 2: what is that game play and what does it look

566
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 2: like when we come back right after this. If you're

616
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: No, it's not Kyle Quaker. Don't do that. Don't you

621
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: All right?

622
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 2: Well, just because of that, let's look at the next

623
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 2: four games. We're talking about four games that just.

624
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: Look to just look to just look at the nixt two.

626
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 4: if you look too far in advance, you know you're

627
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 4: gonna lose.

628
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: You're gonna lose. Hope, look at the next two. All right.

629
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 4: If you can't get up for a game against your

630
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 4: former defensive coordinator, then go just sit out at the crib.

631
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 2: There's seven and four. It's a noon kickoff on the

632
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 2: road against the Commanders.

633
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 6: This Commanders.

634
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: You know, D's gonna be hype.

635
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 6: He's gonna be high.

636
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 4: You know he's gonna be hype. And I'm honestly he's

637
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 4: looking to bring it. He's gonna bring the heat. And

638
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 4: I like, obviously I love Dan Quinn. I'm not one

639
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 4: hundred percent convinced with their team.

640
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 6: I don't think they are either.

641
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, honestly, I'm serious.

642
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 6: I had a hot start, but man, yes.

643
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 4: I'm not one hundred percent convinced with their team. And

644
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 4: I think that the one player, right the one player

645
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 4: that really makes their thing go. Okay, they have too

646
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 4: offensively really right, you got the B B. Robinson obviously

647
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 4: at the running back position, and then you have Jayden Daniels.

648
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: If you can Terry McLaurin.

649
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 4: But but if, but if you can get it, if

650
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,959
Speaker 4: you can get to Jaydon, yeah, I think I think

651
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 4: if you get to Jaydon, he's frail, that he's I'm

652
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 4: not I don't wish nothing on nobody, but with what

653
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 4: you're seeing. But yeah, absolutely what you see between between

654
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 4: between Demo and freaking Mike. I'm telling you that combination

655
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 4: is nasty. I'm gonna keep saying it. You'll can get

656
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 4: tired of me saying that that combination is ooh wee.

657
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 4: I don't think it's ooh freaking wi. I'm telling you

658
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:58,959
Speaker 4: what one guy is like, Okay, he's a problem. When

659
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 4: there's two of those jokers, Jason, it's all.

660
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 6: We can hang our hand hat on right now. But

661
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 6: even yesterday, please keep saying.

662
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 4: Better yesterday. If you watch so, I'm telling you it's

663
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 4: you could turn it on and turn it off as

664
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 4: a player. I don't know if fans know that, right,

665
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 4: and just I'm just gonna say some stuff that people

666
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 4: probably don't want to hear.

667
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: The check hits the same whether you win or win

668
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: or nice it does.

669
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 4: The check hits the same those eight over those eighteen weeks,

670
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 4: whether you win or not, you're gonna get paid the

671
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 4: same exact amount as a player. Now, with that on

672
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 4: the table, I can either be motivated to go play

673
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 4: or I can say, eh, I'm just going out here

674
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 4: just trying to survive.

675
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna count down this clock every game and I'm

676
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: gonna wait for that check to hit.

677
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 4: That's the mindset. That is the realistic mindset. Sorry for

678
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 4: those that think that that sounds terrible, that's the reality.

679
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 2: It feels more so like the ladder, at least yesterday

680
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 2: after the game was over and kind of the field

681
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 2: going into lockerroom, if they would have laid down, if

682
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 2: they would have laid down, They did not lay down.

683
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 4: I don't feel like they laid down. I feel like

684
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 4: the game got away from him, and I feel they

685
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 4: crazy stuff happened. Tyler Guiding thought he was a running back.

686
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: I'm here's the proof.

687
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 3: They didn't lay down. They were almost literally still fighting. Yeah,

688
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 3: I mean fighting. They're fighting.

689
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 4: So that's why when when Jerry Jones gets out there

690
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 4: in the postgame it says that I don't there's no

691
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 4: quit in those guys.

692
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with him at least saying regards to

693
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: this game. I don't think exactly.

694
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think they quit in this game, but

695
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 2: I think they were looking at it in a similar

696
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 2: way that everyone is looking at it, and they're saying, Okay,

697
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 2: now you gotta win out now, that's it.

698
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 4: It's your only hope. And even that is a slim chance.

699
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 4: You know what it starts with, call it starts with one.

700
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 4: And I'm not I'm not being I'm not trying to

701
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,239
Speaker 4: be super overly optimistic. I'm just being realistic. Right now,

702
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 4: I'm saying, you're.

703
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 6: Like one of those motivational posters.

704
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: No, it's just it's just it's the reality of everybody's

705
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: playing for their job.

706
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 4: Like, even though it sucks, somebody has to have a

707
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 4: conversation with these guys right now and say, hey, coaches,

708
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 4: if you guys ever want to coach again, y'all might

709
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 4: want to figure it out. Ye players, you guys these

710
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 4: I don't know if y'all notice, but you're kind most

711
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 4: of y'all contracts are not guaranteed. I remember when coach

712
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 4: Willingham came into to University of Washington and he told everybody, he's, y'all,

713
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 4: don't do know that your scholarships are one year renewable contracts, right,

714
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 4: and players like what and he started cutting guys, you're

715
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 4: not guaranteed anything beyond this year. So if you put

716
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 4: bad film out there, you're hurting yourself. Right if you're

717
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 4: if you're if you're just hanging it up and just

718
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 4: kind of just kind of trying to coast through. Two

719
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 4: things are gonna happen. You're gonna put out bad film.

720
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 4: It's not gonna help you try to get a contract

721
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 4: somewhere else or even here next year. And you're gonna

722
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 4: get injured because playing at anything less than one hundred

723
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 4: percent in this league will get you hurt when the

724
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 4: other guys playing at them exactly so saw some injuries

725
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 4: pop up. I'm not saying that's how they came, but

726
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 4: I'm just saying that you'll start seeing more of that

727
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 4: if guys are start trying to just you know, call

728
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 4: it in. So if you have a spark and it

729
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 4: starts becoming fun again, that's when you'll see you guys

730
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 4: start turning it back on. You're starting to see it

731
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 4: on defense. You're starting to see it on defense. It's

732
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 4: on the coaches now offensively, and they have to keep

733
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 4: building defensively. Don't think that I'm letting those guys off

734
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 4: off the hood. Sure they got to figure some things

735
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 4: out still, they'll continue to get better, Jesus. But they'll

736
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 4: get better as long as they continue to make plays

737
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 4: and get more motivated, get more excited. Has some celebrations,

738
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 4: all those all that step stuffs happening to guys want

739
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 4: to play together offensively, you have there has to be hope.

740
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 4: There has to be hope outside of the players. Outside

741
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 4: of the players, there has to be hope. Get the

742
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 4: ball on Turp's hands in space. Oh look what happened?

743
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 4: Yeah that works right? What are you asking him to

744
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 4: do what he does best? Maybe don't try it downfield,

745
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 4: that's exactly. Let's not throw it to him fifteen twenty

746
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 4: yards down.

747
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 6: Maybe he's just not a good body in the air, yay.

748
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: Maybe get it in in a position to be maybe

749
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: block put him in a position to be. Society novel

750
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: or you call duzvon up for this game. You sit

751
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: down hundred lifting and run him in the winning attack

752
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: and you run him in between the tackles. That's not creative.

753
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 4: That's running your same offense with a different personnel and

754
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 4: expecting different results. That's not being creative. Yes, be creative.

755
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 4: I don't care if you gotta go watch Shanahan tape.

756
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 4: I don't care if you gotta go watch old killing

757
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 4: Moore tape when he used to empty out his bag

758
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 4: in the first three games.

759
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: Of the season. I don't care if you gotta go

760
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 1: watch Ben Johnson.

761
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 4: Please go watch all these cats or whatever you gotta

762
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 4: do to spark some some into some innovation so that

763
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 4: you can get these guys playing Prevens van for.

764
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 1: When you get in the red zone. He's freaking six nineteen.

765
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,280
Speaker 1: Put him in the post. At least six nineteen.

766
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 4: Put him in a post. You know what I'm saying, Like,

767
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 4: that's not your normal guy that you throw the ball to.

768
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 4: But guess what, he's huge. You go to him and

769
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 4: you say, hey, hey, bro, you're taller, you're bigger, you're

770
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:41,839
Speaker 4: fasten all these cats.

771
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna go down there. You post up in the

772
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: goal line. I'm throwing it up to you. Make a play.

773
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 6: He's got hands. Yes he was catching that mean that

774
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 6: was his best game.

775
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: So far of his career.

776
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 4: Maybe Jonathan Mingo Mingo Mingo was open what he was

777
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 4: four times zero zero completion kitch and he.

778
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: Was open Booty button neked Op running around.

779
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 3: Was which goes to my point. Offense just ain't it

780
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 3: so as much as the defense. You're right, as much

781
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 3: as the defense it effected the last two games. Actually

782
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 3: they're showing you something.

783
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 2: They're showing you some times, but still inconsistent enough to

784
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 2: give up thirty four points.

785
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: Because the situation exhausted.

786
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 3: Against the Eagles, they gave you a great first half

787
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 3: or taking the ball away. Third quarter got away from

788
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,399
Speaker 3: them because time of possession flipped this time around, time

789
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 3: of possession started, not even start to flip. Texans own

790
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 3: time of possession the entirety of the game from the

791
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 3: first drive when they went, you know, three and out.

792
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 3: But yeah, defense, I believe defense is showing you life.

793
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 3: I think the defense can and probably will get better

794
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 3: over the next several games. Problem is the offense is

795
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,879
Speaker 3: not showing me any life. Regardless of who they put

796
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 3: in there.

797
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: You're winning.

798
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 3: You trade a fourth round pick for Jonathan Mango, you

799
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 3: get him in his debut game four targets. You tried

800
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 3: to get it. He's open, you try to get it

801
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 3: to him. The routes were there, the play call was there,

802
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 3: the ball wasn't there. So again, I say, the offense

803
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 3: is just too far gone to be able to repair

804
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 3: themselves over the course of a seven game stretch in

805
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 3: which they need to win at minimum six to have

806
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 3: a conversational chance, but seven to have an actual chance.

807
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: I hear you, so yeah, I agree.

808
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 3: Defense, they might make things fun going forward, but they're

809
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 3: gonna get gassed time and again because the offense just

810
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 3: can't can't get it.

811
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 4: The defense is only gonna have fun and make things

812
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 4: interesting if the offense can start playing, and if the

813
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,919
Speaker 4: offense does not start making plays, the defense will shut

814
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 4: it down.

815
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the players. Which one's more likely.

816
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 2: We'll answer that question when we come back right after this,

817
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:36,760
Speaker 2: because more talking cowboys.

818
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 8: Smooth Todd thought it would be secure to jog in

819
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,760
Speaker 8: the Cheat of Savannah. Todd believed the big cat repellent

820
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,879
Speaker 8: he bought online was reliable. And now Todd is trying

821
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 8: to be faster than this cheetah that can run eighty

822
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 8: miles per hour. But the good news is Todd has

823
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 8: at and T five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure,

824
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,399
Speaker 8: and he learned the best thing to do is stop

825
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 8: running and toss her the backpack with the beef stew At.

826
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,560

873

Speaker 1: a chance of life. Give me a preview of the effigy.

874
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 7: You're thinking of a eulogy, and effigy is just like

875
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 7: a fire like he's still statue.

876
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:23,760
Speaker 1: What is a statue?

877
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:25,720
Speaker 6: So it's it's an effigy.

878
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: Those spirit fingers fers. Yeah, it's like a pire.

879
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 7: It's a it's like a statue that you burn in

880
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 7: the mamorialization of a person or.

881
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 1: Something's going full of vikings right now. Yeah, it's pretty cool. Yeah,

882
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: So so no preview, Yeah, no, flo you gotta wait.

883
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 2: You just bought that thing, I know, right, Uh, But

884
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 2: you asked the question prior to the break of I

885
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 2: want to see which ones more likely. The more likely

886
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 2: side of things that the offense is able to click

887
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 2: or that the defense runs out of gas, which one

888
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 2: is more likely.

889
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 1: Between the two.

890
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 4: Can't separate it, I honestly can't separate it because if

891
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 4: the offense, if the offense does not start getting some

892
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,839
Speaker 4: positive consistent play, the defense will run.

893
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 1: Well, they would just stop. It's not ever run out

894
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: of gas.

895
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 4: Is the players will not even like a putter. Yeah, no, no,

896
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 4: no no, They'll just hit the break. The players would

897
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 4: just be that What am I here for? I'm just

898
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:26,439
Speaker 4: being genuine, being real with the people.

899
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 1: Right now.

900
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 4: If the offense drivers, yeahak, by the way, whatever you need, Okay,

901
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 4: whatever you need.

902
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:33,800
Speaker 1: What's to say they haven't hit them handbrake already?

903
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 4: Because you saw a fight yesterday. You saw fight, You

904
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 4: saw guys flying around, you saw cats fighting smoke. Yeah,

905
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 4: well Kavante wanted it first before.

906
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, Marquise Bell was in the face mask of like

907
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 3: multiple guys and the guys are guys for the one.

908
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,359
Speaker 2: See but the But that's the thing that I'm I'm

909
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm convinced by the fact that

910
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 2: you're willing to push and show of an imposing team.

911
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 6: No, it's just frustration.

912
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 1: Correct. I don't know if that to me says oh

913
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 1: these guys are fighting, they're just shows that you're not

914
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: checked out, is what he's saying.

915
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 3: It's it's because if you're completely checked why do you

916
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 3: care enough to even I understand, but I.

917
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:21,759
Speaker 2: Argue that you fighting in that moment is just you

918
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 2: know what, I am checked out? This season is over.

919
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: Anyways, You're not gonna punk me because I'm this guy

920
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 1: and here we go.

921
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 4: I see you taking it that way. But that's not

922
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 4: what we saw, Okay. I I don't disagree that we've

923
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 4: seen that in the past. Who fighting?

924
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 2: The guys that are showing fight quote unquote are guys

925
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 2: like Brock Kaffman, Marquise Bell exactly. But there it was Brockkaffman,

926
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 2: Marquis Bell, Cavante Turpin who was another one.

927
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: Who else got that penalty? It was a group Smith Smith.

928
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 2: These are all guys that haven't been your cornerstone players. No,

929
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 2: they're not not your cornerstone guys to help you win

930
00:41:58,600 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 2: football games.

931
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: Mark there could be one of your best tacklers.

932
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 4: Last year, he was one of your most impactful players

933
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 4: last year safe in this system.

934
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,760
Speaker 1: Yes, in this and this should have been a backup

935
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:10,959
Speaker 1: in last year too.

936
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,839
Speaker 4: And dan quiz system, he's a starter at line back

937
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 4: out of impact, out of necessity and impactful one he

938
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 4: made didn't He was impactful, but not by choice.

939
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:28,479
Speaker 1: It was buying who led the team in tackles? Yeah, due,

940
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: it was You could.

941
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 4: Have led the team in tackles last season if you

942
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:35,399
Speaker 4: would take away from guys what they show on film.

943
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: He was playing out of position. It was not pretty.

944
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 4: You can't take away his production just because he's he

945
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 4: has a versatility to play out of position.

946
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: Yes, which is rare. And he showed up for him

947
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 1: and he's and.

948
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 4: He hurt himself yesterday doing what flying around the hit

949
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 4: and throwing exactly body.

950
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,839
Speaker 1: He should have been getting defensive snaps. Yeah. Absolutely, there's

951
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: a lot of guys. There's a lot of guys should

952
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: have been getting defensive snaps. Clark, Yeah, huh. De moont

953
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: Clark led last season those Marquis lest year and Marquis

954
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: was second with So Marquis, who's your backup safety one

955
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: of those? Gay and de mont Clark.

956
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 4: De mont Clark is sitting on the sideline yesterday, and

957
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 4: Marquis Bell, your second highest tackler from last year, just

958
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 4: happens to be just a special teams guy for you.

959
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: Now, I love Marquis Bell, don't give me this is

960
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 1: the scheme that has Donald playing backwards. Don't get me.

961
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 2: Wrong, I love Marquis Bell. But if we're saying Marquis

962
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 2: Bell is a cornerstone of.

963
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 1: This defense, I didn't say that. I'm just saying that you.

964
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: That was my point is, these are guys that are

965
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 1: not cornerstones. Okay, So how many cornerstone guys do you have.

966
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 2: You've got Micah, You've got Demarvion Overshown. I would call

967
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 2: him a cornerstone a defense right now. On the offensive side,

968
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 2: you've got CD Jake Ferguson. Any of your offensive linemen

969
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 2: that are still healthy, I mean, you've.

970
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:51,800
Speaker 1: Still at this point.

971
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 6: Is your cornerstone.

972
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

973
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 2: Rico Dawdle was He's got to be your cornerstone, even

974
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 2: though they don't give him the football and he had

975
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 2: a rough game yesterday.

976
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 1: None of the impact players.

977
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 4: What I'm saying is, Okay, you can put whatever title

978
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 4: you want. You have very capable players on this roster

979
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 4: that are healthy you have guys who are capable of

980
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 4: being impact players on this team that are being underutilized, Yes,

981
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 4: substantially underutilized. And again because of that, regardless of what

982
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 4: they've done in the past, regardless of what they're doing

983
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:23,919
Speaker 4: right now.

984
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 1: They're capable.

985
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 4: They are so capable, and you have to give them

986
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 4: a reason to be confident and give them a reason

987
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:31,919
Speaker 4: to run around there and play.

988
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: When you see guys like Juyyat.

989
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 4: Making plays yesterday, first person that grabs them or Butler,

990
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:37,760
Speaker 4: it was Butler that made a play yesterday.

991
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: First person that grabs us is who Al Harris and

992
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: gases him up.

993
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 4: And then as he's walking away from Al Hares, you

994
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 4: can see him literally just feel with just encouragement.

995
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 1: You can see him feel with encouragement.

996
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 4: My coach is invested in me and he's gassing me up. Yeah,

997
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 4: he's my hype man. So guess what now, O, Yeah,

998
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 4: I could do that. I can make plays. There's no

999
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 4: different than Hardball talking to we talk about quarterbacks. Harball

1000
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 4: does the same thing to Herbert all his quarterbacks. He

1001
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 4: makes them fee like they're the greatest people on earth.

1002
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 4: It's the coach's responsibility to reinstill encouragement and confidence of

1003
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 4: these players.

1004
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 1: Even though these guys are paid, they still have coaches.

1005
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 1: If they didn't need coaches, then the coaches wouldn't be there.

1006
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:16,720
Speaker 1: You still got to instill confidence.

1007
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,399
Speaker 4: So I'm putting it on these coaches laps to give

1008
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,839
Speaker 4: these guys an encouragement that they need to go out

1009
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 4: there and make plays. And if they don't, if you

1010
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 4: keep taking guys and just rotating them in and just

1011
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 4: putting them through your system and being so bullheaded that

1012
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 4: you think your system is so strong that it's gonna

1013
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:33,839
Speaker 4: work out, you're gonna get the same result. Guys can

1014
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 4: keep hitting their head on the wall, and guys are

1015
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 4: gonna start saying, you know what, I got seven checks left, and.

1016
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: Everything you just said is kind of how I see

1017
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 1: it playing out right now. I don't that's.

1018
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:49,280
Speaker 3: Exactly how I think the bottom line is, because yeah, coaches,

1019
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 3: they need to really step in and keep these guys

1020
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 3: like as locked in as possible and over these last

1021
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 3: seven games and.

1022
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 1: He's called and he's so called leaders sit their butt

1023
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 1: on the side. We also talked about the depth chart.

1024
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 3: You're in dire straits, brother, Yeah, I mean like at

1025
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 3: a certain point the falloff from the talent level levels

1026
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 3: at this point is just not going to match up

1027
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 3: and line up against the best of the best in

1028
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 3: the league other pro For example, the Washington Commanders you have,

1029
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:21,879
Speaker 3: they have some guys hurting, but for the most part,

1030
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 3: they're mostly whole. So that talent differential between what you're

1031
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 3: going up against in a Washington Commander's team and what

1032
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 3: you're able to feel this weekend as a Cowboys team

1033
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 3: that is just killed obliterated by injuries. Coaching needs to

1034
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 3: do exactly what Isaiah is saying. Yes, but it's also

1035
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 3: true that the ceiling has now fallen all the way

1036
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 3: down here as far as what they can coach up,

1037
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 3: because you're not coaching up Brandon Cooks, he's not on

1038
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 3: the field yet. You're not coaching up DeMarcus Lawrence. He's

1039
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 3: not back on the field yet. Dron Bland not back

1040
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 3: on the field yet. Might not be Zach Martin, might

1041
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 3: not be Tyler Smith this weekend, might not be, might

1042
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:00,360
Speaker 3: not be My not be.

1043
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 1: So at a point, you just don't have the horses.

1044
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 3: So you can coach up these horses as best you can,

1045
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:08,839
Speaker 3: and you need to because that's what you're getting paid.

1046
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 3: To do, agreed, But if we're talking Derby type stuff,

1047
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:17,399
Speaker 3: if your horse has three bad hoofs and his horse

1048
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 3: is a prize winner and it's fully healthy, you're going

1049
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 3: to the race.

1050
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 4: The reason why I said, look at the next few games. Yeah,

1051
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:25,399
Speaker 4: I get it, look at the next few games, because

1052
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 4: after that you help might be in the way. And

1053
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,919
Speaker 4: if and if you're in, if you're winning, guess what, oh.

1054
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 1: You know what this. I feel a little bit better today,

1055
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 1: you know, feel a little bit better today, you know,

1056
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 1: and give me back out there. Let's go break get

1057
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,800
Speaker 1: those bands. Anything less than seven wins and all you

1058
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 1: did was hurt the draft position.

1059
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 4: Currently players, listen, players aren't playing for that, this coaching

1060
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 4: staffe saying, I hear you, I hear you, But this

1061
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 4: those casts on that side of the building don't give

1062
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 4: a dog off.

1063
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 1: They don't care.

1064
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 2: We can't and I think we're if we're sitting here

1065
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 2: and saying that this team, even prior to the injuries,

1066
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 2: was like kind of to Patrick's point earlier, was playing, Well,

1067
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:04,320
Speaker 2: we're fooling ourselves.

1068
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 1: We're talking about guys like Marquise Bell and brock hot

1069
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 1: and and Josh Scott.

1070
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 2: We're playing I mean, these are guys that are not

1071
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 2: overarching the quality of player you need to win a

1072
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,319
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. And at the end of the day, when

1073
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 2: we went into this season, the one goal on the

1074
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 2: mind of this franchise was get back to an NFC

1075
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 2: championship and win a Super Bowl.

1076
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,399
Speaker 1: And you that was the goal. If we were wrong

1077
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 1: in assessing that, that's fine. But we're fooling ourselves if

1078
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: we're saying, even.

1079
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:38,360
Speaker 2: Without the injuries, this team was good enough to do

1080
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 2: that with what we've seen in the sample size we've

1081
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 2: seen in twenty ten.

1082
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 1: Right now, you don't have the horses. I put a

1083
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 1: lot on coaches. I do too.

1084
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 4: I mean to do because because there's a thing called development,

1085
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 4: player development, Like that's a real thing, and I'm sorry

1086
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 4: for fans out there, that thing that you just get

1087
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 4: the player that's just amazing all of a sudden just

1088
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:57,839
Speaker 4: comes in, just magically, just shows up really to ball.

1089
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:00,480
