This He's Talking Cowboys, 0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:22.439 screening live from the Dallas Cowboys World Hours at the 0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:33.560 Star in Frisco. Following list and now your hosts Isaiah 0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:40.640 stand Back, Patrick Walker, and Kyle Yeomans. It is a 0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:44.879 Monday edition of Talking Cowboys, presented by Black Rifle Coffee Company. 0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:49.040 Here from the Star and Frisco in the s WBC studios. 0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:52.559 It is the Monday following a thirty one, twenty eight 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:56.600 Dallas Cowboys loss to the Green Bay Packers in overtime 0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:58.840 up at lambeau Field, and we're here to break it 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:02.240 down for you here over the next forty five minutes. 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:05.319 Chris Beam in the back, Isaiah Standback, Super Bowl Champion. 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:08.080 We've got Patrick no sleep Walker, he got a little 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:12.040 bit of sleep last night. Smith toast and turned all 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:16.479 night replaying the game. And I'm Kyle Yeoman's let's break 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:18.160 this thing down. Let's not waste a whole lot of 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:20.560 time because it wasn't pretty, No, it was not at all. 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:25.199 Cowboys blow a fourteen point lead heading into the fourth quarter. 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:29.120 They led twenty eight to fourteen. Instead, Green Bay rattles 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:33.280 off seventeen unanswered points. The three and six Packers come 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:36.160 out on top, and they send you back home with 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:37.959 your tail between your legs. And now you got to 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:40.640 go up against an eight and one Minnesota team this week, 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:43.080 which of course we'll talk about later on. But Patrick, 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:46.720 you were there on site at Lambeau, you were on 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:49.880 the flight home, you were on the ride home. What happened? 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:55.120 Tell us? He looks angry. Yeah, I'm pissed, And I mean, 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:58.120 there's there's no other way to say it. And you know, 0:01:58.200 --> 0:01:59.720 I'm not one to spin it, so it just is 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:02.560 what it is. I'm pissed at what I saw. And 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.840 you know, and this is when you look at Mike 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:09.360 McCarthy's postgame press conference, the level of frustration that he 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:14.520 displayed is something that's rarely, if ever, seen from Mike 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:18.760 McCarthy publicly in front of a camera. Now, for me, 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:25.480 there are several and I I used the words several loosely, 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.240 there are several reasons the Cowboys lost this game. You know, 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:31.560 gave up a fourteen point lead, and and all of 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:33.720 them matter. So so let me lead by just saying 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:35.760 that first, all of them matter. So for those that 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:39.360 are saying, you know, well, it wasn't the bad cause 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:43.120 or the no cause, Yeah it was, but it was 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:47.639 that in addition to the inability to stop the run, 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:53.120 it was the poor officiating, in addition to give allowing 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:58.400 Watson to go off for three touchdowns for a defensive 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:02.720 secondary that we routinely said and has proven that it's 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:04.639 one of the best in the league. So to allow 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:07.880 a rookie to go off like that, to have a 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:12.840 Megatron day against you when he was basically of no 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:17.200 consequence for the Packers up to this point to lose 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:21.920 this game, it's inexcusable. And to put it in Tryvann 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:24.960 Digs his words via his Twitter he said, unacceptable, and 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:27.000 that's saying the least. At the end of the day, 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.079 this was a game that the Cowboys should have hung 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:34.440 forty plus points on the Packers should have absolutely decimated them. 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:36.720 But you get one interception, what happens the Packers go 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:38.640 down and they score a touchdown off of them, You 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:41.360 get a second interception interception. What happens to the the Packers 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:42.840 go down, they score a touchdown off of that? You 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.560 just gifted them fourteen points. We all know you can't 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:48.640 give Aaron Rodgers extra possessions, and you keep finding out 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:50.600 what happens when you give them extra possessions. And you're 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.360 at lambeau Field, so you have to know there's this 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:58.160 curse that exists there right, be it tangible or non tangible. 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:02.200 And then you see that curse show itself in overtime 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:04.960 if you shouldn't have allowed it to get the overtime 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:07.000 and the Cowboys are moving the ball, and then you 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.320 get the questionable holding call on connomerc govern and then 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:15.080 you get the Jalen Tilbert controversy. Offsides on Jalen tilbrit 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.000 he said he checked with the official. You look at 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:19.960 the broadcast. He was talking to the official, he says. 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:22.640 Dak says Jalen said the official told him to scoot up. 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.680 He did, and then he tried to scoop back too 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:28.279 late offside. There you go, blah blah blah. But what 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:35.360 really was the poetic injustice of it all is again, 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:37.240 the Cowboys should have put this game away and put 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.760 it to bid as early as the third quarter, maybe 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:42.920 even the second quarter, without those interceptions. But to lose 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:44.719 the game in the fashion in which they did, and 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:52.320 to me, the icing on the Colonel Cheese was the 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:57.480 non call on Alexander that would have given the Cowboys 0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.799 automatic first down at around the twenty five yard line, 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:04.480 and that probably would have given the Cowboys a more 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:07.400 chance to go ahead and finish this game. But I 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.559 could argue that they didn't deserve that chance because before 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:14.440 that point, you should should have nailed this coffin closed 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:18.120 several times. So I'll throw it back to you guys, 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:21.560 But yeah, I'm pissed. And unlike the Bears game, and 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:23.360 like I said, you couldn't use the Bears game as 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.479 a barometer for the run defense because of what the 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:27.719 score was, and the Cowboys are basically daring you to 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:29.640 run the ball, like, Okay, you can't catch up by 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:31.200 running the ball, that's fine. But what did I say 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.560 in that same statement. I said, if it was a 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:37.680 close game, then yeah, it's a barometer. And they got 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:41.080 absolutely destroyed by Aaron Jones. They just did. And kudos 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:43.520 to the Packers because what they did was used a 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:46.000 lot of shovel passes up front. I think the first 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:49.120 seven or eight pass attempts by Rogers were shovel passes 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:51.960 to the edge to stretch those edges. Which is where 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.719 the Cowboys were struggling and stopping to run. Those linebackers 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:58.520 weren't helping as the Cowboys needed. And then Aaron Jones 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.320 started going up the middle. Now Cowboys are completely off balance, 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:06.839 so Aaron Rogers says, hey, thank you feetball twenty four 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.320 carries one hundred and thirty eight yards in a touchdown 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:13.000 for Aaron Jones. The Green Bay Packers ran for two 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:16.680 oh seven against this Cowboys defense that of course, they 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:18.679 struggled to stop the run. They gave up two hundred 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:21.600 plus against Chicago just two weeks ago, and their fin 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.600 most recent game, back to back games, they've allowed two 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:27.159 hundred plus yards. That's only the third time that's happened 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:31.240 in the last thirty five seasons for the Dallas Cowboys. Isaiah, 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:36.040 what are your thoughts on the loss? Oh Man, Missed opportunities, 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:42.120 can't stop the run, misscommunication, and again with your receiver 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:49.159 slash tight ends and your QB one, that's really what 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:50.760 it comes down to it. I don't I don't look 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:53.400 at referees. I mean there is some there's always gonna 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:55.360 be toss up calls. Yeah, there's always gonna be toss 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:57.400 up calls. People are like, oh McGovern was, that was 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:00.400 a weak call. His hands were outside the pets. I mean, 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:02.480 no matter how much you want to say he held 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:04.120 or he didn't hold, his hands were outside the pads. 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.000 As a very that's one of the main indicators that 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:08.760 they're looking at. You know, Jay Alexander, you know whether 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:10.720 or not that was pr That dude he's turning his 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:12.720 head around, he's getting back around like he's going back 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:15.239 and forth. It's a toss up call, right. There's guys 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.240 pulling and grabbing. I mean, there's there's that going on 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:20.560 on every play. If there was ever like, you could 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:22.840 literally throw a flag on every play if you really 0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:24.760 wanted to. So I'm not going to rest it on that, 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:26.760 but you can rest it on the fact that if 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:28.640 you allow a team to continue to run the ball 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.360 two hundred plus yards per game when you face opponents, 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:32.880 they are always going to have a chance to win, 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:35.560 always gonna have a chance. If you can't stop a 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:37.800 team and get them off the field and they are 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:40.120 allowed to continually move the chains down the field and 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:42.240 you're not putting up points and you're creating and you 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:44.720 are turning the ball over, teams are gonna have an 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:46.680 opportunity to win ball games, and then you could then 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:50.560 you compound those problems with a head coach that is 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:54.800 makes an emotional, irrational decision in the most important time 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:57.640 of the game, you're gonna lose, and that's going forward 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:01.600 on fourth down and three in overtime. I'm just barely 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.720 into your opponent's side of the field where you're actually 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:07.400 you're within range from mahr. But you like not to 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:09.760 kick it. You elect not to kick the but you're 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:13.760 understand the situational awareness. If if it wasn't overtime, I 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.160 might have been on the same page. Okay, let's if 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:19.880 it wasn't overtime, sure, okay, but it was overtime, and 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:23.720 in overtime you secure the points. And the reason why 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:25.680 you secure the points is because you now put the 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:28.600 opponents back against the wall to where they absolutely have 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:31.400 to score. They have to score. You kick it out 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:33.640 the end zone. You make them go the long way 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:36.040 of the entire field, and you make your you let 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.240 your defense pen their ears back and go ham because 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:40.280 that's where you rest in. That's who is leading this 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:42.200 team right now as your defense, and you take that 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:45.000 opportunity away from them. Counterpoint and this is going to 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:46.800 be the first time and hopefully the last time I 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:49.800 pose this question regarding this this defense that is normally 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:51.920 just stout outside of the run defense that needs to 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:54.079 be figured out. What if, in that situation, because I 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:57.440 mentioned it in regarding Cooper Russian Philly, if you know 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:00.800 that a particular guy or segment of your team is 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:03.400 not playing well, then you should scale that back and 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:05.440 try to protect it a little bit from themselves. That 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:07.400 was the Cooper rush situation in Philly. And what if 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:10.200 that was the situation in Green Bay on yesterday and 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:13.760 Mike McCarthy not deciding to kick that field goal because 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:15.560 he probably I'm not going to say he probably, but 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:18.360 what if he felt like, because his defense had been 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:21.040 giving up these big plays both on the ground and 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:24.000 in the air the entire game, he's saying a field 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:25.840 goal is just not going to do it. There's a 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:27.960 chance that, because of the way the defense is playing, 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.160 Aaron Rodgers marches down this field and scores a touchdown 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:32.880 and finishes the game. Anyway, So if that was the mentality, 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:34.599 I'm not mad at it. I'm not mad at it 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:36.440 at all. The only thing I would be mad at 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:38.719 is Obviously the execution then would happen on the back 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:40.720 end of that play. But if that in fact was 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.520 his thought process, then I'm not mad at that aggression. 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:47.160 I am why because statistically, I don't think Aaron Rodgers 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:48.880 goes down and scores hitt and he did anybody by 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:50.839 the way. I mean, yeah, he did that anyway. I mean, 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.000 but the thing is like, it's all about what position 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:54.720 are you going to put them into. It creates a 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:59.040 totally different mindset. The response from Green Bay is substantially 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:03.280 different if they know that they have to score, if 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:06.719 they absolutely have to score, right It's different from your 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:09.079 mindset saying we gotta go score a touchdown to win 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:11.480 this game, versus we just got to get to that 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.480 point right there because we got we got Crosby. We 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:16.200 just need to get right there, that's all. We don't 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:19.480 even about thirty yards. It doesn't matter. It's still Crosby 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:21.600 at all matters. It doesn't. It's just like having Justin Tucker. 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:23.120 If you have a Tucker on your team, you know 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:24.920 that you're good, Like you know you just get to 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:26.520 certain parts of the field where you know you're good. 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:28.240 That's why we talked about the field goal. That's why 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:30.800 we talked about the kicker all off season. That's why 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:32.960 we're talking. That's why we're talking about it being a 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:35.640 decision now. It's because you have Brett Maher. That's why 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:37.760 it was a decision in the first place. Because you're 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:39.760 not gonna punt that ball away, not from that point 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:41.560 of the field. You're either going to kick the field goal, 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:45.280 try it and put points on the board, or you're 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:47.600 gonna go for it one of the two. That's where 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:51.440 you're going putting my head coaching head on. I feel 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:54.800 like there are two reasons that McCarthy decided not to 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:56.280 kick that field goal. One is the one I just 0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:58.520 laid out. I feel like he saw his defense getting 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:01.200 gashed in the air and on the ground the entire game, 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:04.679 and normally it's just the ground and not in the air. 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:07.439 So if it was a normal game in that capacity, 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:10.160 then you could say, Okay, well, if we get this 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:12.559 field goal, they're gonna have to score a touchdown. That 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:14.760 means they're gonna have to get chunk plays after the kickoff. 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:17.360 So I put trust in my secondary. But the secondary 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:19.560 wasn't showing you much outside of Trivon Diggs for the 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.240 most part. So you're like, hey, my defense isn't playing well. 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:23.600 I'm going to try to protect them and get more 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:26.080 aggressive and go for this touchdown. So now the boats 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:28.839 they can do is match serve and then try to 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:31.839 two point conversion. That's pressure in and of itself, but 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:34.760 also the area of the direction of the field they 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:38.040 were traveling in. That's the same direction that Crosby missed 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:41.280 the field goal earlier in the game. And we're also 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:43.840 talking about a head coach of Mike McCarthy that knows 0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:46.960 the dynamics of Lambou field very very well. Maybe he 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:48.960 felt like there was some type of swirl effect down 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:52.160 there that helped lead to Crosby missing that field goal 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:54.000 that he didn't want to put Maha in a fifty 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:57.200 plus yard situation to potentially do the same. And then 0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:59.360 guess what, Rogers gets the ball right where he got 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:01.199 the ball anywhere, and he goes down to scores as 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:05.760 he went down the scored anyway. So so many things 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:08.840 that I could list that I have a problem with with, 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:11.040 you know, that went wrong over the course of the game. 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:13.400 That's just not one of them. I'm fine with that call, 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:16.920 but you shouldn't that call never exists. Butterfly effect, that 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:21.000 call never exists if you can if you communicate well 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:24.360 with your wide receiver one and that's not an interception 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:26.720 in the end zone, or don't show that, don't shoulter, 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.640 if you communicate well with your wide receiver one and 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:31.640 that interception across the middle of the field where you 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:33.760 thought he was going to cross face. Going back to 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:36.480 the Chicago Bears, when Eddie Jackson did it, and he 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:38.360 didn't cross face, he took the shoulder, he took the 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:41.280 outside shoulder, he didn't flatten out his route. Another interception. 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:45.240 Those types of mistakes, and of course the run defense. 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.800 And you know, we all know how much we love DQ, 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:50.120 and I love DQ to death. But when I see 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:53.400 that Anthony Barr is out and Damon Clark finishes with 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:58.240 only seven defensive snaps in a game where the opponent's 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:02.280 rushing attack is just massacring you, I just I have questions. 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:05.400 I have questions. I think everybody has questions about the 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:08.280 run defense and what's been going on there and how 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:11.480 do you fix it. Whenever I went back and watched it, 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:13.200 and we'll talk about the defense here in a couple 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:16.120 of moments, But I wrote down just three sentences or 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:20.120 three thoughts. I said, sloppy stunt work, lots of man coverage, 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:22.520 and poor gap discipline and tackling. That's kind of what 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:25.640 I had for this defense overall. And that's not an 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:30.079 easy one week fix either. That's a long term overhaul 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:31.480 that you would have to take in order to try 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:34.280 and stop the run. Now, I want to talk about 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:37.880 this fourth down and four decision a little bit more 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:43.960 because from what I'm hearing, you're more upset Patrick at 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:48.400 the execution, the execution of it, rather than the call. Correct. 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:52.520 But the execution wasn't there a all game long, So 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:57.360 you're talking about the lack of execution from the defense 0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:00.480 stopping the run. Isaiah. They weren't necessarily moving the football 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:02.840 at will either, especially in the second half going into 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:06.280 that that fourth quarter. They had no rhythm whatsoever on 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:10.240 offense in the fourth Yeah, I'm I can't even get 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:12.160 up my allow my mind space to do, my head 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.080 space to go to that point. Like, I can't even 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:16.000 get there, because to me, it was such a no 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:18.880 brainer decision to take the point, to take the points, Yeah, 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:21.000 like it really was, and or at least try for 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:23.240 the points because it wasn't an easy, feel easy field goal. 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:25.800 But where if you there's a lot of questions about 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:28.840 Brett maher right and whether or not he can make 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:33.520 the forties and thirties. Nobody questions the fifties. Nobody questions 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:35.720 whether his ability to kick fifties. That's just that's his 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:38.760 comfort zone. Like that's just his thing, right, everybody has 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:41.560 their thing. That is his thing. So I felt very 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:43.360 confident with his ability to score those points. And I 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:45.400 felt like you had a good drive. You drove the 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.240 ball down there. Boom, Okay, they stops you right there, 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:49.760 bone kick the dog on field goal. Take those points. Defense, 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:52.160 you know what to do defense, You know what to do. 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:54.400 His backs against the wall. You know the point of 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:55.960 the field that he needs to get to to win 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:58.760 this ball game. Don't let him get there. Don't let 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:01.000 him get there. That's a totally different mindset. Then crap. 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:03.920 The entire playbook is open to Aaron Rodgers now, and 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:06.280 he knows that all he has to do is marching. 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:08.800 However many yards it was thirty yards, whether forty yards, like, 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:11.160 that's all he has to do in his head. I 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:12.600 just need to get to right there now, And they 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:14.640 got it. All on one completion to Lazard over the 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:17.920 metal Branford extra yardage, got inside the twenty, and then 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:19.480 of course they took it down to the ten, took 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:21.920 a knee, and it was a pat. That's what we're 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.720 going to your point of execution. It's also in real 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:27.600 time as well, because in real time your offense was 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:31.760 moving the ball on that drive, So that drive specific 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.400 right that on that drive specifically, your offense was moving 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:38.360 the ball. So therein lies the confidence in Mike McCarthy 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:40.240 to say, hey, we might not have been moving it 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:43.080 well over the course of the back half of this game, 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:45.520 but hey, look we're moving it right now. So let's 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:47.520 take advantage of us being able to move it right now, 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:50.400 and then toss in the other factors that I mentioned 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:52.440 a little bit ago, and I just I don't have 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:54.320 a problem with the car. I have a problem with 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:57.120 the execution. But to your question, well, if you've not 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.800 been executing all, well, like the defense hasn't. With a difference, well, 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:03.000 it's in that particular moment the offense was actually executing, 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:06.720 so I would be again, I'm fine with the decision. Now, 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:10.880 we could argue the play call itself and the execution, 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:13.720 but the decision to go forward, I'm that I'm completely 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:16.600 fine with. I have an extra grind in several other 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:20.400 areas of the game, but that's that's well, first of 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:24.640 all the secondary and of course the second that the 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:27.320 success of the secondary is always going to be, or 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:29.560 almost always going to be, predicated upon the success of 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:32.960 the pass rush. Pass rush could not consistently get home 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:36.400 and shouts out to DeMarcus Lawrence. Seems of gloween read 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:40.120 I mean glowing golden circle from yesterday. He played out 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:42.840 of his mind both in run defense uh when it 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:45.760 came to his side and in the pass rush arena. 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:49.200 But outside of DeMarcus Lawrence and Sam Williams shots out 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:52.840 to Sam Williams, he had todown. He did absolutely outside 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:54.920 of those two guys. And I don't have to go 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:57.160 back and watch the film, but I don't know if 0:16:57.320 --> 0:17:00.880 it was because Michael wasn't one hundred percent and or 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:04.320 if he just couldn't get off on yesterday. But whatever 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:07.159 the case may be, the Packers did not feel the 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:10.239 impact of Michael Parsons, not only with sacks but with 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:13.400 disruptions overall. We didn't see the disruptions from Michael Parsons 0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:15.720 and that allowed Aaron Rodgers a little bit more time 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:18.800 to do what Aaron Rodgers does. So the pass rush 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:23.240 outside of Sam Williams and Marcus Lawrence was mostly ineffective. 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:25.240 I have an extra ground with that. You're the best 0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:27.520 pass rushing in the league, pass rushing the league, and 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:29.560 you didn't show up yesterday for the most part. That 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:32.760 made it more difficult for your secondary against a quarterback. 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:37.239 You know, if he has time, he's going to torch you, 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:40.520 and that's exactly what happened. Trayvon Dixlay played mostly well, 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:43.280 but we saw what him with Anthony Brown, you know, 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:45.120 and then he ended up leaven with a concussion After 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:48.399 that big play from Watson, Covid Joseph got targeted early 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:51.359 once he became once he came in for that, Kelvin 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:54.919 almost had a game breaking force fumble on Aaron Jones. 0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:59.600 But it just nothing broke right for the Cowboys. It 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:03.920 just feeling like the one play that they needed was 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:06.359 always right there. They were always right there on the 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:09.720 event horizon, but it just couldn't go. It just couldn't. 0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:12.040 It couldn't make that leap. Where were your some of 0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:17.000 your bones to pick for this Cowboys loss, I mean 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:25.399 the miscommunication Dalton Schultz was responsible for. I mean, back up, 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:29.160 Dalton Schultz ran the wrong route on the red zone interception. 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:31.880 He firstally got knocked off his route, he ran the round. 0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:35.560 I'm just saying that's his explanation of it, and I'm 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:38.080 not explaining it for him, And I'm saying it was 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:42.040 a drive. It was a drive concept. Drive concept. The 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:44.240 two receivers on the right side run clear outs to 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:47.400 turn to try to just just back to the secondary off. 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:50.080 Cede Lambs was running about a twelter fifteen yard and 0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:52.800 right on the goal line, and Dalton shots is supposed 0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:54.120 to be the low man to run a drive ride 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:57.080 across well, Dawson Schultz run the same exact route as 0:18:57.160 --> 0:18:59.760 CD Lamb. Right, you know who was supposed to run 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:02.240 a rout based off alignment alone. Ceede Lamb was off 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:04.399 the ball off the ball Man's never gonna run shallow, 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:06.399 He's always gonna run a deep route. Then on the 0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:09.360 ball man's was running shadow. Okay, he ran the wrong route. However, 0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:12.760 Dak Prescott seen that you don't throw the freaking ball. Yep, 0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:18.640 you don't compound a problem with another problem. So all 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:20.600 the way wrong in that room came the receiver order 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:22.480 in the tight end room messed up, and then the 0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:24.720 QB one didn't make it any better by throwing it 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:26.800 and then throw your hands up and get frustrated. Cool, 0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:29.399 that's one bad decision what I have drawn up on 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:32.080 my tablet right now. And teams are starting to do this. 0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:36.240 They know that when they see Ceedee Lamb in the 0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:40.439 slot that a lot of times he's either running an 0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:43.080 over route okay based upon play action, or he has 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:45.240 a read route on the inside where he's his read 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:48.399 is middle of field open or middle of field closed. 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:53.200 Teams are starting to show single high and then playing 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:57.120 a dual coverage, so instead of playing one or three 0:19:57.200 --> 0:20:00.359 was single high, they're showing single high priests and in 0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:03.639 post snap they're going to cover two on one side 0:20:03.640 --> 0:20:07.160 and cover four on another side. And it is creating 0:20:07.359 --> 0:20:10.320
