I think 27 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 6: we'll at some point in the show. We're certainly going 28 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 6: to get to some of the coaching decisions that were 29 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 6: made yesterday and just talk about that and see what 30 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 6: you guys thoughts are there. Let's start where we always start, 31 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 6: story of the game. For you guys, what was the story? 32 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 8: Game? 33 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 9: Will start with you, Nick oh Man, It's still complimentary football. 34 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 10: For me. 35 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 9: This offense is not helping the defense out at all. 36 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 9: The defense bends and then the offense breaks, and it's 37 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 9: handicapping this team. It's starting to make me appreciate Dak 38 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 9: Prescott winning three games a little bit more just because 39 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 9: without him, I mean, you're seeing lack of efficiency throughout. 40 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 10: The entire offense. 41 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 9: And on a day where Rico Daubdle regresses to two 42 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 9: point eight yards per carry and the attempts go down 43 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 9: and you have to lean on Cooper rush, you have 44 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 9: to lean on the passing game, you don't find any consistency. 45 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 9: And for me, the lack of consistency in the pass 46 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 9: game was pushing the ball downfield. We saw him do 47 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 9: it a couple of times in the second half whenever 48 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 9: they started pressing. But overall, this offense is nowhere close 49 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 9: to being an efficient offense. 50 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. 51 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 8: I don't know whether to blame Mike McCarthy or say 52 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:27,679 Speaker 8: he's a genius all the same thought. Because we talked 53 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 8: about the running game a lot, I'm gonna blame him 54 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 8: for the fact that he's asking guys to do things 55 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 8: they can't do. You're asking Ceedee Lamb on the first 56 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 8: play of the game to block inside on a linebacker. 57 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 8: Ceedee Lamb wants nothing to do with that. He wants 58 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 8: nothing to do. You're asking a thirty five million dollar 59 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,519 Speaker 8: your best player on offense to go wham block a linebacker, 60 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 8: gain to two. It happens more often than not with 61 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 8: this scheme, and I wonder, Mike McCarthy, I'm blaming you 62 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 8: for that, But I'm also blaming you for like, man, I. 63 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 3: Can't run these plays anymore. I can't run the ball anymore. 64 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 8: Because a lot of my stuff is set up with 65 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 8: Now you have some guys that are willing to block. 66 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,399 Speaker 3: You have some receivers. By the way, Mingo, I would 67 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 3: put him at tackle. 68 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 10: He is your best blocking receiver. 69 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 3: My man will crack people. 70 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 2: He didn't put him at tackle. Let's go. 71 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 8: He will crack people. He will block down, he will 72 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 8: block on the edge. That is a mean man. That 73 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 8: is a mean man playing football. And there were a 74 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 8: couple of times or routes where he was actually opened 75 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 8: and the ball didn't go his direction to the knicks 76 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 8: point the offense. You watch it, there's no real rhyme 77 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 8: or reason to it. Sometimes I can understand why Mike 78 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 8: McCarthy doesn't want to run the. 79 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 3: Ball, but I think it's his own fault. I think 80 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 3: he's asked. 81 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 8: It's hard to run the ball when you leave people unblocked, 82 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 8: when you just say, hey, magically, that guy's not going 83 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 8: to be there when we run this play, and then 84 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 8: all of a sudden, magically the linebacker shows up in 85 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 8: the whole gain of zero, gain of two, gain of one. 86 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 8: Because you don't block everybody on the play. Yeah, you 87 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 8: got to make some people miss and stuff, but you 88 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 8: just can't let people. Now they time a safety blitz. 89 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 8: It's a negative play. Okay, that's just chest right there. 90 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 8: Chess match boom. They brought up blitz, you know. 91 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 3: But like I say, Mike. 92 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 8: McCarthy, we complain about your running game, and you say, well, 93 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 8: you know, we get behind. 94 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 3: We can't. I want to do it more. 95 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 8: They need to figure out they kind of got They 96 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 8: got to figure out how to block everybody. And like 97 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 8: I said, that first play of the game. It just 98 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 8: was so evident to me why they don't run the ball. 99 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 8: And it happened throughout this game when guys don't get 100 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 8: picked up and you're asking your best offensive weapon to 101 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 8: go in there and crack on a linebacker and you 102 00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 8: could see he clearly is like. 103 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 3: I'm going and I'm not gonna go. 104 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 8: And then that linebacker steps up and and Rico Duell 105 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 8: gets hit for a two yard game where the rest 106 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 8: of the play is blocked beautifully, beautifully get. 107 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 3: That one block. You got it? 108 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 8: Maybe an eight nine yard game happens a lot. It 109 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 8: happens a lot, and I understand why they don't run 110 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 8: the ball because they're asking their guys to do things 111 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 8: that they can't do, and they can't go back to 112 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 8: it because they see it one time and they're like, man, 113 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 8: that didn't work the first time. 114 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 3: I can't go back to that. And that's part of 115 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 3: the game plan. 116 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 2: I want to say. 117 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 6: Last week, there was a situation where I want to 118 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 6: say it was Tolbert, but one of the receivers they 119 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 6: put in motion and he's like lead blocking and it's 120 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 6: like that's not gonna work. No, you put a receiver 121 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 6: one of these receivers, particularly a situation where they're having 122 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 6: to lead block through a hole in the middle of 123 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 6: the offense. Like there's just like that just doesn't you're 124 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,799 Speaker 6: sko for success? 125 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 3: No, no, and there there does? You know? 126 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 8: Ceedee Lamb is a tough guy, but you're asking him 127 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 8: to go dig out a linebacker. Yeah, And I've seen 128 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 8: scoon maker, hunter Lipke. I've seen guys that should be 129 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,679 Speaker 8: able to go do that, not get that job done, 130 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 8: and you're asking him to go in there, you know, 131 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 8: with a bad back and all that and code block 132 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 8: on a guy. Okay, you get what you you get 133 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 8: what you set up. And I think we're in a 134 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 8: mode right now with this offense. They're asking some of 135 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 8: these guys to do things. I'll tell you another thing. 136 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 8: Where was where was Turpin in this game? It's a 137 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 8: couple of opportunities. The big play they really watched the game, 138 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 8: They didn't really cover him very well. His speed was bought. 139 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 8: Was troubling to those guys. 140 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 10: I saw stat yesterday. 141 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 9: Obviously that big touchdown sixty four yards, Well, yeah, that 142 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 9: that was certain. 143 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 6: That was the big thing fast since twenty two, I 144 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 6: want to say twenty twenty. 145 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 9: Yeah, but it was obviously it was a slant. Do 146 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 9: you want to guess how many slants Cavante Turpin has 147 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 9: run this year? That was his second slant run all 148 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 9: year for the fastest guy on your team. 149 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 10: Yeah, two slants. 150 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 3: Caught him, caught him in, caught him in perfect coverage. 151 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 8: They if you watch the play, they're a cover too, 152 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 8: and they rotate it to go single high. So they 153 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 8: at the snap they dropped this. They dropped the right 154 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 8: safety down and the other safety comes to the middle 155 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 8: and he runs away from the safety. So here's the 156 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 8: safety coming down. Give Mic and them credit for this, 157 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 8: or Cooper Rush or somebody.

He might have run the 175 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 8: wrong route concussed on the interception. I think he took 176 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 8: his man into where they were throwing the slant because 177 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 8: of where the collision where uh where uh lamb wran 178 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 8: it was rented and and his and you see you 179 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 8: see Ferguson running out. 180 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 2: I don't know if you think he defend after on 181 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 2: the sidelines, you. 182 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 8: See Linda Wells is like, you know, trying to explain something, 183 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 8: and then we didn't see him the rest of the game. 184 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 3: So I don't know. 185 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 2: I mean that might be better actually got it. 186 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't know. 187 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 8: I mean he might have got it, but then he 188 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 8: was but he didn't play after that and was maybe 189 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 8: he was disoriented. 190 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 3: I don't know. 191 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 8: I'm that's probably reckless to my part, but it looked 192 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 8: like to me, the way the route designed the combination, 193 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 8: that they got something wrong there which allowed which got 194 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 8: lamp picked. 195 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 3: Off by the flat route. Yeah, so I don't know. 196 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 3: I mean, it's something that probably need to dig into 197 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 3: a little bit. 198 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, I just feel like you don't know your players, 199 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 5: Like I like, you don't really know. 200 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 11: Who your players are. And I hate it's weird. 201 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 5: I hate saying this because who the heck am I 202 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 5: to be saying this when they're the ones out there 203 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 5: with the players every single day. But watching the game 204 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 5: sometimes and like you just questioned some of the positions 205 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 5: that they put their own players in and you're like, wait, 206 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 5: that doesn't make sense or why'd you do that? 207 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 11: Or why didn't you do that? So it's just confusing. 208 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 5: And with the play calling, and we've talked about it 209 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 5: all along, but again it's a combination of play calling 210 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 5: and bad execution. It comes to the players too, where 211 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 5: they just can't I mean some of those throws that 212 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 5: Cooper Rush was throwing, You're like, what the heck? 213 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 11: We know you can do better than that. What are 214 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 11: you doing? And I know, heading into this game, I'm like, Okay, 215 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 11: I know what we've got. You know, I'm not expecting 216 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 11: much at this point. 217 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 5: But at the same time, I can't help but still 218 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 5: get frustrated when you see yourself having a chance, and 219 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 5: you're so close, and you're like, Okay, you're in the game. 220 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 5: A lot of other things are working in your favor 221 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 5: when it comes down to you. A lot of those 222 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 5: penalties you got away with, so with having so many 223 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 5: extra chances, but you still couldn't do anything from it. 224 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 5: So that's the frustrating part. And when you see how 225 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 5: the defense is playing, and I'm seeing the score here 226 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 5: on the TV right now, the final I mean like 227 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 5: that score doesn't truly illustrate what happened in the game, 228 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 5: which is the story of the season. Like every score 229 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 5: of every game doesn't really tell the story of how 230 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 5: the game was and how many times you actually did 231 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 5: have a chance, but you just cannot for the life 232 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 5: of you. I don't even know the Americans saying here, 233 00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 5: but you're gonna. 234 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 10: It was a Spanish saying, you just can't do. 235 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 5: Anything offensively to score those points. And then I'm like, 236 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 5: we have seven games left. Are you gonna have enough 237 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 5: players to play games? At this point? They just keep 238 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 5: dropping and dropping, and the injury list just keeps getting 239 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 5: longer and longer. And you see how much that affected 240 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 5: the offensive line. When two of your guys came out 241 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,199 Speaker 5: of there, and you're like, oh, my gosh, so I 242 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 5: it's concerning knowing that you are about to play another 243 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 5: game and then quickly turn around for Thanksgiving. So that's 244 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 5: another area of the game that you're just like, how 245 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 5: are you gonna be able to manage to keep playing 246 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 5: these games at this rate? 247 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 9: I think you made a really good point in there, 248 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 9: and I give credit to the people who taught me 249 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 9: the game very early on, and this is something that's 250 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 9: kind of stapled in my brain. One of the top 251 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 9: responsibilities as a play caller KYP know your personnel, know 252 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 9: what your guys do best, and put them in positions 253 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,119 Speaker 9: to play to their strengths. Having seen Crack a linebacker 254 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,319 Speaker 9: not handling stunts well, and so you throw in a 255 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 9: guy like TJ. Bass was not handled stunts well, my 256 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 9: first guy would have been brock Hoffman in there at 257 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 9: right guard. 258 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 10: Personally, But that's that's very minuscule. 259 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 9: I'm just saying, from top to bottom, it doesn't feel 260 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 9: like either side of the ball really knows their personnel 261 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 9: to the best right now. 262 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 5: And also, how come we didn't see tree Lance like 263 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 5: that's confused? That was confusing to me, especially how the 264 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 5: previous game against the Eagles, how they played that and 265 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 5: they threw him in there, and then this game you 266 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 5: don't use him at all. And it's just like, okay, 267 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 5: when you would think, my opinion, when you get guys 268 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 5: on the offensive line that started coming out and you 269 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 5: see that Cooper Bush will not run. I mean, he 270 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 5: had a couple of times that he tried to, but 271 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 5: he he doesn't have that in his game to run 272 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 5: and escape. Throw somebody out there that can actually run 273 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 5: and run for his life. 274 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 2: You know. 275 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 6: Actually that's where honestly, if you look at it, and 276 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 6: I know, Brian, you and I talked last week about 277 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 6: the the know, hey, do you just flip this into 278 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 6: a college kind of offense. I don't know that they're 279 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 6: going to do that, but I'll tell you where. I 280 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 6: do think they missed an opportunity if you're at fourth 281 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 6: and two. First of all, I disagree with the decision 282 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 6: to go for it there. I think when you got 283 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,079 Speaker 6: a team a compromise game, right, when you got a 284 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 6: team miscompromise, you keep them in the game. That's that's 285 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 6: priority number one. So you take the three points. There's 286 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 6: no question about it in my mind. But if you're 287 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 6: just want to be aggressive and you're like, we're going 288 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 6: to go for it and fourth and two. 289 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 2: That's the kind of thing where I'm like, if. 290 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,559 Speaker 6: You're crea, I know, I know, But if you're creative enough, 291 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 6: you had you've had two weeks now to figure out 292 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 6: I got a fourth and two situation. If I can 293 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 6: use Trey Lance out there, this is a great situation 294 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 6: fourth and two. I can show them something a little different, 295 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 6: something that's not on tape. What can I do with 296 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 6: Trey Lance that I can't do with Cooper Rush? That 297 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 6: can pick up two yards for me to extend this play. 298 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 6: That's where I'm like, you missed an opportunity, and it 299 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 6: shows me that that you're not thinking creatively enough to 300 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 6: be able to take advantage of this guy's skill set 301 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 6: in situations where you can use it. It doesn't mean 302 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 6: you got to give him a whole series because Mike 303 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 6: talked after the game and said, you know, I really 304 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 6: wanted to get him a series. 305 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 2: You don't need to get him a series. 306 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:16,839 Speaker 6: There were opportunities in that game rate when you could 307 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 6: have put it out there for a play, because in 308 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 6: that play, in that situation, the defense would be like, Okay, 309 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 6: this is different. 310 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 2: This is something we haven't seen. 311 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 6: How are we going to adapt? And if you're creative enough, 312 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 6: you can draw up the right kind of play. Pick 313 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 6: up two yards, bring him right back off the field, 314 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 6: put Cooper in, try to see if you can convert 315 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 6: your touchdown. 316 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 2: So that's where I have more of a problem with 317 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 2: not using Trey Lance. 318 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 6: It wasn't so much about getting making him the starter 319 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 6: or playing him a lot. 320 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I just think it were opportunities. 321 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 6: Where you should have been able to come up with 322 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 6: something creative, a creative way to use him and to 323 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 6: be able to help this team win. 324 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 9: That's that's another point of just knowing your personnel. I 325 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 9: think if Trey Lance is in the situation there, then 326 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 9: you're not cutting off half the field on a Cooper 327 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 9: rush rollout to the right. I just there was so 328 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 9: many things about that play call that I just completely hated. 329 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 9: But is an opportunity for this team seven games remaining. 330 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 9: They might not know their personnel right now, but they 331 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 9: can learn their personnel and it'll give them a lot 332 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 9: of clarity this offseason whenever they have to ask these 333 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 9: important questions. They have seven games to answer those questions 334 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 9: right now. I think It's an opportunity for this team 335 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 9: that you know some contenders might not have, because if 336 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 9: you're contending for a playoff spot, you want to have 337 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 9: the best chance at winning. I say, right now, you 338 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 9: throw all fifty three guys on the field, give them 339 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 9: legitimate playing time. 340 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 10: Over the course of the next seven find out. 341 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 3: Figure out what everybody played in that game betray Lance. 342 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 3: Figure everybody that dressed. Everybody that dressed played betray Lance. 343 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 9: See he was the only one starting Josh Butler at 344 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 9: outside corner, starting Israel mcwama slot, putting Ryan Flinoy at 345 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 9: outside corner, giving him all those options. Bingo, Brevin span Ford, 346 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 9: throw everything out on the field.

Sorry with you, 418 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 5: because he's still the same play caller right, and when 419 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 5: you look at the players that you had, I mean nothing, Yes, 420 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 5: you've had players that have changed, but nothing that's extremely drastically. 421 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 5: If you look at the running backs you're running, you 422 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 5: didn't have a great running game last year. 423 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 3: Answer. 424 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 8: You know exactly what his answer is about the baby 425 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 8: go ahead offensive line. 426 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 2: It's the offensive line. 427 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 6: I mean, it's to me, it's so clear by the way, 428 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 6: it's not just the personnel. It's the fact that the 429 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 6: personnel you had last year is not playing well. They're 430 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 6: not playing to the standard dat last year. 431 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 2: And I am. 432 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,679 Speaker 6: Convinced, and I know this is going to probably this 433 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,679 Speaker 6: might get me in trouble, but I am just convinced 434 00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 6: something more has got to be going on with Zach. 435 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 6: This is not Zach Martin. And I just look at 436 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 6: him and I'm like, this is not the Zach Martin 437 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,199 Speaker 6: I know. And I don't know if there's more that 438 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 6: he's dealing with. I don't know what's going on, but man, 439 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 6: when he was down yesterday and Nick and I were 440 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 6: looking at this when he went down the game, he 441 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 6: was on that knee and you could just see him 442 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 6: just like shaking his head no, And I'm like thinking, 443 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 6: Nick was like, man, I don't know if we're going 444 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 6: to see Zach Martin playing anymore at this point, Like, 445 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 6: I don't know if this is just a breaking point. 446 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 6: I just there's no I've not seen a player of 447 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 6: his caliber. And when I say his caliber, I'm talking 448 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 6: a clear Hall of Famer that's going to Hall of 449 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,199 Speaker 6: Fame probably first ballot. He's da caliber player. From the 450 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 6: moment he showed up at the Cowboys, he has been stellar. 451 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 6: To go from that to what we've seen from him 452 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 6: this year, I just don't I don't know how you 453 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 6: can make that make sense to me other than something 454 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:54,479 Speaker 6: else going on. 455 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 9: I think he knows his body is catching up, Yeah, 456 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 9: because whenever he talks at Ota is talking like, yeah, 457 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 9: my body, my body, and this could be the last year, 458 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 9: you know. And I think maybe we should have taken 459 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 9: that a little bit more seriously, all of us, you know, 460 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 9: I think. But it is sad to see because it's 461 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 9: it's trending towards a situation where he's not going to 462 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 9: get a full run at this thing and throughout his 463 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 9: entire career. So I said it yesterday, like, if this 464 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 9: is the end for Zach Martin, it's really sad to 465 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 9: see it in this way. 466 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 2: No doubt. 467 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 6: But I guess back to your point, Amber, when you 468 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 6: look at the right tackle who's not playing as well 469 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,400 Speaker 6: as he played last year, you look at the right 470 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 6: guard not playing as well as he did last year, 471 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 6: the center position, which is brand new and having to 472 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 6: adapt to the NFL, the left tackle position brand new 473 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 6: having adapt to the NFL. And then as they were 474 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 6: talking about I think I was Jerry talking about it 475 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,880 Speaker 6: this morning, talking about how because they have so much 476 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 6: newness on the offensive line, it has affected their communication. 477 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 6: So you factored that in to the fact that they're 478 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 6: also not playing well. Everything else stems from that. 479 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 2: If you can't. 480 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 11: Puch a drastic regression. 481 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,360 Speaker 6: Yeah, but it's the regression happened on the offensive line. 482 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 6: And when that happens, now the quarterback isn't this comfortable, 483 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 6: so he's not passing as well. 484 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 2: There is no running game. 485 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 6: The receivers aren't able to get open because they don't 486 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 6: have enough time because quarterbacks got to get the ball 487 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 6: out quick. So it affects everything else on the offense. 488 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 6: When the offensive line's not playing well. 489 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 3: It could it could also be affected. 490 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 8: Mike McCarthy calling place yep, that he has no confidence, 491 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 8: you know. I mean he could, they could talk about it. 492 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 8: But it's also his responsibility, like Nick was talking about, 493 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,199 Speaker 8: to make sure that you do things that or that 494 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,919 Speaker 8: can help your personnel. Don't ask this group to do 495 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 8: things that they can't do. And you know, maybe that's 496 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 8: some of it right there, But I think I think McCarthy, 497 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 8: if if you know, if at the at the end 498 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 8: of this, you know, whatever it is, if it's this 499 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 8: year or another year, I think if you asked him, 500 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 8: he and you asked me, like, what really affected you 501 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,360 Speaker 8: the offensive line? Offensive line I just did. I had 502 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 8: no confidence that I could call any plays. But I'm 503 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 8: also pointing out, like I did earlier in that ran 504 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 8: I went on that you're also asking your players to 505 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 8: do things they probably aren't comfortable doing. Receivers, blocking inside online. 506 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 8: You know they're not comfortable doing that. And if your 507 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 8: plays are predicated on that, then you're you're. 508 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 3: Doing the wrong thing. You're just doing the wrong thing. 509 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 8: And if he doesn't have confidence in this offensive line, 510 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 8: you know, he has a say in this. You know, 511 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,199 Speaker 8: head coaches, I've worked in this in this front office before. 512 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 8: Head coaches have a say in what type of rosters 513 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 8: they have, you know, they really do. Some take the 514 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 8: opportunity of Bill Parcells takes the opportunity. 515 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 3: Some don't. 516 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 8: Dave Campbo really you know, Hey, whatever you guys want 517 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 8: to do, let's you know, we'll do it. 518 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 3: You know. 519 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 8: So you know, head coaches can come in here and say, hey, yeah, 520 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 8: let's play with young offensive linemen. Let's do this. But 521 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 8: you also got to make sure that when things are 522 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 8: not going well, that you try and find things like 523 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 8: Nick was talking about, that they can do well. And 524 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 8: I don't think they've done that. I don't think they've 525 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,360 Speaker 8: done that at all this season, to be honest with you. 526 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 8: You know, you know they've switched out offensive line coaches. 527 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 8: Has that made a difference. I mean, at right tackle 528 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 8: doesn't like the same guy, you know, and you could 529 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 8: talk about last year when he was coming off the 530 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 8: injury and stuff, and you know it didn't even look 531 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 8: like the same guy out there blocking right now, you know, 532 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 8: and for sure the right guard doesn't look like the 533 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 8: same guy. 534 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 10: Ye let me ask you a question. For all three 535 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 10: of you. 536 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 9: Let's say you're picking number seven, number eight, and I'm 537 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 9: not throwing any guys out in particular. But let's say 538 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 9: you've got a left tackle sitting there that you believe 539 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 9: in could. 540 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,360 Speaker 10: Start Day one. Are you taking that guy? 541 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 2: Sign me up. 542 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 10: I think I'm taking that guy. 543 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 3: Look. 544 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 6: I heard you talking last night on the post game show, Brian, 545 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 6: and you were mentioning like at this point where Dallas is, yea, 546 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 6: take the best player that's available, with time to pick 547 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,439 Speaker 6: wherever you are. 548 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 2: And I agree with. 549 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 8: That in a lot in the first round, yeah, in 550 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,120 Speaker 8: the first round, yes, the mitigate the bus. 551 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,440 Speaker 2: Yes, So you want to get the best player possible. 552 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, My prayer. 553 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 6: Is that that's a tackle because the way I look 554 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 6: at this is I think that again, if I think 555 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 6: offensive line is my biggest problem, then there are probably 556 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 6: two things I'm looking at. Number One, I need to 557 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 6: get a tackle, and then I'll figure out what I'm 558 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,160 Speaker 6: gonna do with Guy, and i'lligure out what I'm going 559 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 6: to do with Steele, figure out what. 560 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 2: I'm gonna do with Smith. 561 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 6: I also need to talk about my offensive line coach, 562 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 6: because I think that's another big piece to this thing 563 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 6: that that has changed. And so everything, like you said, Amber, 564 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 6: what's changed, that's another thing that changed that's changed. You 565 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 6: gotta look at that and say, were we better coached 566 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 6: last year on the offensive line than we are this year? 567 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 2: Was that a part of at. 568 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,640 Speaker 8: Least a part of the players that's adapting to the coach. 569 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 8: Maybe not being better coach, but are the players adapting 570 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 8: to the new coach? 571 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 3: Right? 572 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 6: So there's I think both those things have to be examined, 573 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 6: and you might come up with answer either way on both. 574 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:36,679 Speaker 6: But my point is you got to examined both the 575 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 6: personnel and the coaching when. 576 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 2: It comes to the offensive line. So yes, I take 577 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 2: a left tackle if he's there. 578 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,479 Speaker 5: It's interesting, though, because do I see them making that 579 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 5: kind of decision. 580 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 11: I don't know. I don't think I do. 581 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 5: Why not, because there they've shown over the years that 582 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:02,679 Speaker 5: they're gonna stick to their guy, like the whoever they 583 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 5: dropped like but not high is that? 584 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 6: But let me be clear, I'm not saying they're going 585 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,439 Speaker 6: to get rid of Guidon no Nona. They're gonna look 586 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 6: at Guiden to say maybe maybe he should be a 587 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 6: right tackle because that's what he was in college, and 588 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 6: we know there's a problem right now. Right tackle you 589 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 6: kind of solve two things with one. So I think 590 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 6: they still stick with their guy. They just kind of 591 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 6: flipping around. 592 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 8: Cap savings and stuff like that too, you know when 593 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:29,399 Speaker 8: you started jesting like that, I that's interesting because I 594 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 8: know that I've seen a lot of people. 595 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 3: Have you. 596 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 8: Have you looked at a couple of tackles or what, Yeah, 597 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 8: is the LSU tackle your best tackle? 598 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 4: Uh? 599 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 9: No, No, I think the Texas kid is. But I 600 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 9: think he's a guard. 601 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. 602 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I kind of think that that's why too. 603 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 8: I mean, I I love the kid as a player, 604 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 8: but you know, and police folks, don't get me wrong, I. 605 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:50,679 Speaker 3: Know l s U. 606 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 2: That's when we're talking about Banks at Texas at Banks. 607 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 8: Yeah, and you know, and so to me, I just 608 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 8: kind of like, I'm just kind of curious. But if 609 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 8: people were they were going to play Banks. I mean, 610 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 8: I think he's a guard myself. So, but he's damn good, 611 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,199 Speaker 8: you know, he really really is. So the best tackle 612 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 8: in this draft might not be the best player on 613 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 8: your board. You know, maybe Carter the linebacker or the 614 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 8: end from Penn State something like that. I just, like 615 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 8: I said, I am, I am interested if I'm picking 616 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 8: in the top ten. I did do everything in my 617 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 8: power to eliminate mistake, just eliminate you know, just figure out, okay, 618 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 8: because you're going to have you're going to have the 619 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 8: you know, the whole basically the whole field to pick from. 620 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 8: It's a lot different drafting players at twenty six and 621 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 8: twenty seven than it is drafting players at five or six. 622 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, it really really is. 623 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 2: Throughout the draft, like yeah, throughout the draft. 624 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 3: It's just it just the draft kind of like flows 625 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 3: to you. 626 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 8: Yeah, like well that guy, yeah, that guy, Yeah, here 627 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 8: we go. 628 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know that kind of thing. 629 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 8: You know, that's when you're picking at the bottom of 630 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 8: that board that it's a little bit of a different 631 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 8: challenge for you to have to do.

Yeah, 696 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 8: he's the defensive coordinator at Michigan. Their defensive players don't 697 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 8: play like the harrorball regime play they played differently. They 698 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 8: play up the field, they attack, they play sideline. 699 00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 3: The sideline. 700 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 8: They're not extend and look and look and go find 701 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 8: the ball. They're actually quick off the ball. They try 702 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,479 Speaker 8: and be disruptive. They get up the field. When you 703 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 8: watch Michigan play, and they actually have a tight end too. 704 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 3: It's a pretty good player. 705 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 8: But that's but don't think of like, oh, don't look 706 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 8: at the helmet and then think it's the same scheme. 707 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 8: It's a different scene. It's a different scheme. When you 708 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 8: watch this player this he gets off the football. You 709 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 8: know he's a tackle. Yeah when you talk, yeah, three 710 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 8: hundred and twenty pounds. 711 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 9: The reason I bring it up is because I think 712 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 9: the root of these problems with this team start in 713 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 9: the trenches and the spine of your defense. Yeah, you 714 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 9: got you gotta figure out that offensive line and if 715 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 9: it's moving two guys off of it next year, move 716 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 9: two guys off of contracts, be damned. 717 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 10: I think. 718 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 9: I think at this point you have to figure out 719 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 9: what you have again for these remaining seven games, so 720 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 9: you can know what you need in the draft come 721 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 9: that time.

Wow, you've survived a lot. 834 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,279 Speaker 10: Yes, this is off the rails. 835 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:47,480 Speaker 2: I love it, way off the rails. 836 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:47,759 Speaker 19: All right. 837 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 2: We did have a couple more things I wanted to 838 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 2: get to in this final segment. 839 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 6: We didn't get a chance to hit a lot of 840 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,840 Speaker 6: different topics so well, some of them later, But I 841 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 6: did want to talk a little bit about a couple 842 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 6: of the coaching decisions. Sure, and and I kind of 843 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 6: teed it up a little bit in my thoughts on 844 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,239 Speaker 6: the fourth and two. I would love to hear your 845 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 6: thoughts on, first of all, the decision to go forward 846 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,760 Speaker 6: on fourth and two. Well, first the decision to allow 847 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,400 Speaker 6: the penalty to take points off the board after you 848 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,920 Speaker 6: already hit the sixty four yard field goal. Then second 849 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,120 Speaker 6: to get to a fourth and make it Yeah, well 850 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 6: it was that old Deacon Jones kind. 851 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 3: Of Deacon Jones. Poor Steele was like, boom right, he 852 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 3: got he got a club. 853 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:25,839 Speaker 2: Yeah. 854 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,800 Speaker 6: But then also it was and then the next decision 855 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 6: fourth and to the decision to go forward and not 856 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,239 Speaker 6: take the field goal, and then obviously the play call 857 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 6: and how it all ended up. 858 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:37,960 Speaker 2: So let's go across to say, what do you guys 859 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:39,440 Speaker 2: think about that whole sequence? 860 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 9: I in the in the moment, shout out to Lawrence Stowe. 861 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,719 Speaker 9: He works with me out at the fours Artillery, and 862 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 9: we were talking about it in the moment, specifically the 863 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 9: fourth down and two. It's like, I'm taking the points here, 864 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:50,759 Speaker 9: and he asked a very good question. He was like, 865 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 9: but do you think your offense is going to get 866 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 9: back down here? 867 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 3: That's that's the question you have to ask yourself. 868 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:55,719 Speaker 10: That's a good point. 869 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,240 Speaker 9: I was like, I still stuck with my original conclusion 870 00:37:58,280 --> 00:37:59,880 Speaker 9: that they probably should have taken the points because it 871 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,239 Speaker 9: down to a one possession game. You can figure it 872 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,200 Speaker 9: out from there, maybe you find another big play. But 873 00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 9: he made a great point in being like, do you 874 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:06,880 Speaker 9: think your offense gets back down here? 875 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,440 Speaker 10: I'm like, oh, probably not. So I don't hate the 876 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,919 Speaker 10: decision to go for it. I really don't. I hate 877 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 10: the play call because you. 878 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 9: Roll Cooper rush out right, you cut off half the field, 879 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 9: and then you muddy everything up on the right side 880 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 9: of the field, and then you're going for a guy 881 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 9: who just got signed to the team last week, and 882 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:24,160 Speaker 9: he didn't. 883 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 10: There was a miscommunication there. 884 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,760 Speaker 9: There had to be, because a rush threw it completely 885 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:29,800 Speaker 9: out of the way of Mingo, so much so that 886 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 9: it almost ended up in CD's hands on the back 887 00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 9: of the end zone. I just I hated the play caff, 888 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:36,880 Speaker 9: but I didn't hate the decision necessarily. I would have 889 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:37,920 Speaker 9: been cool with either decision. 890 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,640 Speaker 8: I like your colleague and what he said, you have 891 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,839 Speaker 8: to question whether they were going to get back down there. 892 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 8: I would have made it a one score game myself, 893 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,000 Speaker 8: but I would have also in my back of my mind. 894 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,359 Speaker 8: I'm sicking. You maybe have to take the chance here, 895 00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,239 Speaker 8: you know, you maybe have to try and get some 896 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 8: momentum here. I don't like the play call at all. 897 00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,560 Speaker 8: If you look at the tape, they Houston had three 898 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 8: guys ever in two no chance, and then you know 899 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 8: what happens is Rush can't set his feet. I mean 900 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,800 Speaker 8: he's moving, he's looking on the outside, outside, outside the 901 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,600 Speaker 8: whole time. And then Mingo comes on the break and 902 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,440 Speaker 8: he's he's open. But Skoomaker's gonna get called for holding. 903 00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:19,120 Speaker 8: He tackles, he tackles Hunter, they call that. 904 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 3: That was going to be. So what's gonna happen is that. 905 00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,480 Speaker 8: You know if you even if you maybe the decision 906 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,480 Speaker 8: was if you score, it's going to be holding. 907 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,680 Speaker 3: It's gonna be backed up. Now you kick the extra 908 00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:32,960 Speaker 3: or you kick the field goal. 909 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,600 Speaker 8: That's maybe that if you could have just scored, that 910 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,840 Speaker 8: could have maybe made the decision because you are going 911 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 8: to get called for holding on the play. But I 912 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:45,400 Speaker 8: don't like the play call. I understand the decision because 913 00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:50,400 Speaker 8: the offense just it it doesn't flow the way it 914 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,160 Speaker 8: needs to flow, and you don't know if you're going 915 00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:53,040 Speaker 8: to have another chance. 916 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:57,879 Speaker 5: Yeah, I absolutely hated the play call, but thus far 917 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:01,560 Speaker 5: as the decision is one of those things that either way, 918 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 5: what had you kicked it for the field goal or 919 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 5: did what you did, whichever one, you can still be 920 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,920 Speaker 5: criticized for it because when you look at it, I mean, 921 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,000 Speaker 5: what's two yards? Right? You feel like you can get that. 922 00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:21,080 Speaker 5: But that's where I'm gonna go back to knowing your team, 923 00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:24,640 Speaker 5: Like based on the history and everything that you've seen 924 00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 5: so far this season. I love that you have some 925 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 5: kind of confidence in yourself here. But if you're the 926 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,919 Speaker 5: type of guy that look at statistics and you rely 927 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:41,080 Speaker 5: on all these numbers and trends and analytics, yeah you 928 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,319 Speaker 5: should have known. Somebody should have study in your ear. 929 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:47,880 Speaker 5: Hey buddy, we don't do well in these situations, so 930 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 5: let's just kick it, kick for the field goal that 931 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 5: you most likely will get the three points there. So 932 00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:57,520 Speaker 5: it's just again I fall back into the whole thing 933 00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,799 Speaker 5: of like knowing your team. You should know your team 934 00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 5: better or you should know that in that situation, it's 935 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,560 Speaker 5: most likely not gonna work out, and it will obviously, 936 00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:06,239 Speaker 5: didn't I. 937 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,840 Speaker 8: Think, to be honest, that's what he's done all along, 938 00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,520 Speaker 8: hasn't he that kicked so many field goals this year. 939 00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:16,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, he he really doesn't trust, but then 940 00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,280 Speaker 3: he trusts, Yeah, exactly, and then then you call that play. 941 00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:19,719 Speaker 8: Yeah. 942 00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,440 Speaker 3: But to me, that's just not the best. I mean, 943 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 3: there's there's other ways to I think to attack that. 944 00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:29,400 Speaker 3: It's just running, you know, putting Cooper Rush. 945 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,600 Speaker 8: On the move probably not a great idea, you know, 946 00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,120 Speaker 8: as Nick says, Cluttering an area and trying to kind 947 00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 8: of sort that out. 948 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,560 Speaker 3: Probably not a good idea, you know. 949 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,640 Speaker 8: I mean, it's just to me, it's you're down there, 950 00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,240 Speaker 8: maybe you go, what's your best two point play? What's 951 00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,880 Speaker 8: the play if you're gonna throw the ball? Throw the 952 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:52,000 Speaker 8: Pittsburgh game. When he touchdown, play mesh mesh that thing 953 00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,399 Speaker 8: and just and then hit, you know, try and give 954 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,520 Speaker 8: Cooper Rush the whole field to look at and not 955 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:02,680 Speaker 8: an eight yard little box, yep with extra defenders down 956 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:03,040 Speaker 8: in there. 957 00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,360 Speaker 6: I just I look at it and I say, this 958 00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,520 Speaker 6: is a team that, going into the game was compromised 959 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:10,640 Speaker 6: due to injury. And when you have a team like 960 00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,120 Speaker 6: that and you're playing up against the team that that 961 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,759 Speaker 6: on paper looks to be much more talented because they 962 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:18,640 Speaker 6: don't have the level of injuries. 963 00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,000 Speaker 2: That you do, and they got back a big player, 964 00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,360 Speaker 2: So you're looking at it from that standpoint. 965 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,440 Speaker 6: My thought is you want to give your team as 966 00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:29,600 Speaker 6: much reason to believe we still got a chance as 967 00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,600 Speaker 6: possible for as long as possible, and you keep stringing 968 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:34,640 Speaker 6: that little game and hope that you get to the 969 00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,400 Speaker 6: fourth quarter and it's like, here's our moment where we 970 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,640 Speaker 6: just go all in because we've kept ourselves in the game. 971 00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,480 Speaker 6: He basically, in my opinion, made a decision that if, 972 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:46,719 Speaker 6: by the way, if you weren't compromised, if you had 973 00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:50,320 Speaker 6: your quarterback back there and and everything's been flowing, your offense, 974 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,439 Speaker 6: is your offense fourth and two at the eight yard line, 975 00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 6: go for it, let's do it. 976 00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 2: Let's but that's not the situation. The situation, in my opinion. 977 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:03,080 Speaker 6: Dictating, you give yourself the three points and you say, okay, guys, 978 00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,400 Speaker 6: that's a win. We got down to the eighth, we 979 00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,680 Speaker 6: end up with three points, that's a win. Where within 980 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,319 Speaker 6: a score, let's keep playing football. And they were playing 981 00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,520 Speaker 6: up to that point, they were playing equal football with 982 00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:14,680 Speaker 6: them like they were playing football. So that's my thing 983 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,879 Speaker 6: is it's about again, would you guys say no, your 984 00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,960 Speaker 6: personnel know the situation. I just think that was a 985 00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,960 Speaker 6: bad call based upon the people that he had available 986 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:24,920 Speaker 6: to him in that game and where they were mentally. 987 00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:28,040 Speaker 6: I'm a big believer in the idea of momentum, and 988 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,640 Speaker 6: not because momentum is some magical thing. I think it 989 00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 6: actually is about the chemicals in your brain. When good things, 990 00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,400 Speaker 6: positive things happen, your brain responds a certain way. When 991 00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:39,840 Speaker 6: negative things happen, your brain when you. 992 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:41,640 Speaker 5: See the finish I mean, I'm not a runner, but 993 00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:43,320 Speaker 5: you are. When you see the finish one, you're like, 994 00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:45,320 Speaker 5: oh yeah, yeah, you start running faster. 995 00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,240 Speaker 6: A lot of a lot of it, you talk about running. 996 00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,280 Speaker 6: A lot of the ability to do long distance running 997 00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 6: is about the mental. 998 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:53,359 Speaker 2: You're gonna get. 999 00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,080 Speaker 6: You're gonna get to several points as you're running that 1000 00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,000 Speaker 6: race where your mind is going to say, you know, 1001 00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:00,640 Speaker 6: I don't know I can do this. I don't know 1002 00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,520 Speaker 6: if I your ability to be able to say this 1003 00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:07,240 Speaker 6: is good, I feel good and convince yourself I feel 1004 00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,520 Speaker 6: good even though you don't feel good. That's how you 1005 00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,120 Speaker 6: get through it, and that's how you actually exceed at it. Right, 1006 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 6: And it's no different with any other sport thing. The 1007 00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,320 Speaker 6: mental is a big part of it. So the moment 1008 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:20,919 Speaker 6: you have something like that, when you've met you drive 1009 00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,279 Speaker 6: all the way down the field, you get to the 1010 00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:26,839 Speaker 6: eight yard line, and then you say we're going forward 1011 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:27,800 Speaker 6: on fourth down. 1012 00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,160 Speaker 2: And then you come away from that empty handed. The 1013 00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,680 Speaker 2: mental of that starts to creep in. Man, I don't 1014 00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:36,000 Speaker 2: know if we're gonna be able to do this, And. 1015 00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:39,400 Speaker 6: When that starts to happen, it changes how you play it. 1016 00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,239 Speaker 6: Shange and by the way, the flip side happens, Houston says, 1017 00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,160 Speaker 6: they had all this opportunity, they got all the way 1018 00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:47,719 Speaker 6: down here, when we stopped them, they got nothing out 1019 00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,000 Speaker 6: of it. So I just I think in that situation 1020 00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:53,160 Speaker 6: the mental is just as important. And I think he 1021 00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,680 Speaker 6: didn't do himself. He didn't do his team any favors 1022 00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:57,880 Speaker 6: by going forward in that situation. And I think you 1023 00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,319 Speaker 6: could have got the same kind of positive moments out 1024 00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:01,480 Speaker 6: of that by just kicking. 1025 00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:01,719 Speaker 3: The field goal. 1026 00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,920 Speaker 9: That was the first of three things that happened in 1027 00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,160 Speaker 9: a five minute sequence. In my eyes, it was the 1028 00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,600 Speaker 9: last two minutes of the third quarter, first three minutes 1029 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:11,960 Speaker 9: of the fourth quarter. It's three things in that sequence 1030 00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,640 Speaker 9: that wrote them off from there. So it's twenty to ten. 1031 00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:16,440 Speaker 9: When that happened, you could have cut it to one score. 1032 00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:18,640 Speaker 9: Let's say that they score, that's seven points you leave 1033 00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:20,960 Speaker 9: off the board. Houston gets the ball back, they drive 1034 00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:22,320 Speaker 9: down the field a little bit. They get to a 1035 00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,439 Speaker 9: third and one on their own thirty four yard line. 1036 00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,360 Speaker 9: And if y'all are all twenty two nerds, please go 1037 00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,040 Speaker 9: back and look at this play the fourteen forty one 1038 00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,080 Speaker 9: left in the fourth quarter. Yeah, it's a it's a 1039 00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,399 Speaker 9: third and one. It's a throw right to Tank Dell 1040 00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,400 Speaker 9: and C. J. Stroud throws at probably two yards behind. 1041 00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:43,759 Speaker 9: If you have Deron Bland, Yeah, that's not only a pick, 1042 00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:45,879 Speaker 9: that's a pick six. That's that is a pick six. 1043 00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,279 Speaker 9: But no discredit to Josh Butler. Josh Butler played well, 1044 00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,520 Speaker 9: especially being his first career start. But Deron Bland is 1045 00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,680 Speaker 9: looking back at that ball, he's taking it to the house. 1046 00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,520 Speaker 9: That's that's another seven points. And then on the ensuing 1047 00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,440 Speaker 9: Dallas drive is when the tyler got in, disaster happens, 1048 00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:02,319 Speaker 9: and that gives Houston seven. So that's a twenty one 1049 00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:09,400 Speaker 9: point swing man on a row on Mike McCarthy almost 1050 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:11,400 Speaker 9: ripped them a new one in the press conference. I 1051 00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,200 Speaker 9: can only imagine what he actually said to him. But 1052 00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:15,400 Speaker 9: if you do go back on film and watch that 1053 00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:18,040 Speaker 9: Butler play, he walks off the sideline and Al Harris 1054 00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:19,920 Speaker 9: goes immediately to him. And I don't want to assume 1055 00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:21,719 Speaker 9: what people are saying on the sidelines because you can 1056 00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:23,200 Speaker 9: get muddy, but I can almost. 1057 00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:24,640 Speaker 10: Guarantee what he was saying in that situation. Look back 1058 00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:25,000 Speaker 10: at the ball. 1059 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,520 Speaker 8: Well, it's funny because, like you say, the route Dell 1060 00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,680 Speaker 8: ran out. I mean, he's clear, but the ball was 1061 00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:35,320 Speaker 8: so poorly thrown. They gave Butler a chance to spin 1062 00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,480 Speaker 8: and get back to it, but the ball hitt him. 1063 00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:38,960 Speaker 10: I mean you never got back at it. 1064 00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:42,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's right. If Blane catches it, that's going that's 1065 00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:45,719 Speaker 3: going the other way. That's such a poorly thrown pass. Yeah, 1066 00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:48,040 Speaker 3: on a third and one play to an open receiver. 1067 00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:48,799 Speaker 3: Yeah too. 1068 00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:50,600 Speaker 6: All right, I appreciate you guys. You want to We'll 1069 00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:52,520 Speaker 6: be back tomorrow. We'll do a little more deeper dive 1070 00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:54,080 Speaker 6: into some of these things. I think there were some 1071 00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,960 Speaker 6: topics that came up from yesterday's game that are worth 1072 00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:57,560 Speaker 6: talking at. 1073 00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, talk about that. We'll be back tomorrow. Till then, 1074 00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:02,200 Speaker 2: for Nick Harris.
