00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: only beer of the Dallas Cowboys. And although a lot

12
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: of us throughout the building thought the Cowboys would get

13
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: a win this last weekend, I don't think anybody predicted

14
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: the beatdown that we watched yesterday. Cowboys win over the

15
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,479
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings forty to three. I'm not gonna say, probably

16
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: their most dominating win in quite a long time, certainly

17
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: this season, against what is or what many believed to

18
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: be one of the better teams in the NFC. We'll

19
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: break it all down for you here over the next

20
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: forty five minutes. We might even get into a little

21
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: bit of Giants talk. We got a short week this week,

22
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: coming up with a Thanksgiving Day game against the Giants.

23
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: So let's dive in. Let's go around the table. Let's

24
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: start where we start on Monday's give me your big

25
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: picture storyline, because there were lots of things that came

26
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: out of this game. But what big picture six with

27
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: you following this game? Nicholas start, Well, big picture, the

28
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: Cowboys are a team that can compete and make a

29
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: run for a Super Bowl, as Jerry said, Yeah, and

30
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: that's the big picture. That's where the bar has been raised. Now.

31
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: The bar has been raised because they went out and

32
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: I only know one way to say it. They played

33
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: a perfect game. It was a perfect football game against

34
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: a team that had the best record in the league

35
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: at that time. They don't anymore, but they did, and

36
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: it was a perfect game on the road. They just

37
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: dominated in every facet And so now you know, to me,

38
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: that's where it's like, Okay, well we've seen it then,

39
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: we've seen it in Minnesota. Play like that where you

40
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: can put it all together, you know that's they can go.

41
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: And if they play like that, you can beat anybody.

42
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: You can beat anybody any place. If you play like that, Yeah,

43
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is how the Cowboys should

44
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: be playing football every time this they step on a field.

45
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it's very impressive. And it was very impressive

46
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball. And I know

47
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna break it down and all that, but to

48
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: think we were just recently, you know, talking about the

49
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: wide receivers and all that, and then you see a

50
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: game where you can use a guy like Tony Polter.

51
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: He freaking balled out, balled out running the ball and

52
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: catching the ball. So it's just very very impressive. And

53
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: like Nick said, now you can't take a step backward.

54
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: It's like you gotta keep it up. And maybe not

55
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: every week scoring you know, forty points and all that

56
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: and shutting the other team to just three points, but

57
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: now you gotta you have to maintain it. And you

58
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: mentioned super Bowl, and I was going to ask you

59
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: there when you said big picture. We're talking big picture

60
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: super Bowl big picture or if you want to go there. No, no, no,

61
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: But I love it, love their energy and love the

62
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: way they responded after a loss against Green Bay. They're

63
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: capable of beating really good teams and losing the bad teams.

64
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: That's that's you know. I mean you can you could

65
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: say that the Green Bay game that should have been

66
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: a win. You know that that's which. You know, teams

67
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: that are gonna win championships find ways along the way

68
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: to win those games. You know, whether you're however your

69
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: competition is, and they're capable. They're capable, like we're talking

70
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: about here, playing very well at a high level, making

71
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: somebody one dimensional, putting pressure on them, you know, playing

72
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: to their strengths, using the running back as a wide receiver.

73
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: You know, those are all the things that are capable

74
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: of doing. You know, the week before they didn't do that.

75
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: They lined up off sides, they held, they made mistakes,

76
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: they gave up big plays in the running game, they

77
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: gave up big pass plays. You know, they're capable. That

78
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: That's what proved to me, if you want to know

79
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: a big picture, that's that's the team that's what they

80
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: should be, not the team that could play to the

81
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: level of the team you know that that aren't very good,

82
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: and so you know, yeah, I hope, I hope this

83
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: is the start of more consistency with how this team

84
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: needs to play every week in order to win a championship.

85
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: That's the aspirations. You know, they're clearly capable of doing it. Yeah,

86
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: you look at this offense and I think you know

87
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: you We'll talk about the defense in just a second.

88
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: But offensively, they scored on their first seven possessions. It

89
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: was score after score after score after score. What do

90
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: you guys think was the key to their offense? Being

91
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,799
Speaker 1: able to move the ball so effortlessly down the field

92
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: and doing it in a lot of different way. He's

93
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: using a lot of different weapons. Well, I don't know

94
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: if this is the time to say it, but I

95
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: will say it. I think lost in all of the

96
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: you know, Pollard and Parsons and Maha and all that,

97
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: I think Dak's coming back now, Like this is Dak.

98
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: This type of game was what we've been asking for.

99
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: Get off my back. You're not gonna sack me. You're

100
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: not big enough to sack me. I'm gonna roll over here,

101
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: I'm gonna run out. I'm gonna get it. You know,

102
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say twelve thirteen yards just by making a play.

103
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna fly around over here. I'm gonna fake you here.

104
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: I was faked on one play. I was like, why

105
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,799
Speaker 1: is Pollard not running? He's you know, it was because

106
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: Dak had the ball, you know, Dad, and then and

107
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: then then you throw twenty two out of twenty five,

108
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: and that you could not throw the past to Pollard

109
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: even better for that sixty eight yard I mean that

110
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: was perfect. But he did he was back to him.

111
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: I mean he ran the ball. I mean three for

112
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: sixteen yards. That doesn't really do it justice. I don't

113
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: think of what he was doing running the ball. So

114
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: you throw it like that running, I think Dad, you know,

115
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: and it all starts with Dak, But I think Dak

116
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: was kind of back to vintage him again. Yeah. Another

117
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: thing to help Dac, I think was that offensive line.

118
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: They've done a really good job. They've they've proven that

119
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: they can run block when they absolutely have to. And Minnesota,

120
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: you know that Minnesota's got two legitimate pass rushers and

121
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: they were able to hold up on the edges. That

122
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: wasn't a problem. You know, they had a couple of

123
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: times on some big plays, some throws made. Zeke stepped

124
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: up on one on a blitz pickup that went for

125
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 1: a big play. Polar got run over, but he stepped

126
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: up and made a big blitz pickup. You know, this

127
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: offensive line is starting to kind of figure some things out,

128
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: and you know, all year long, it's it's and we

129
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: got some questions at center and questions that left guard,

130
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: and maybe some questions at right tackle. As a group,

131
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: they're playing really really well right now and that and

132
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: last night was a really good example of when they

133
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: can get things going in the running game and then

134
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 1: it helps so much as the passing game too. I'll

135
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: tell you another thing that was big in this football game,

136
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: and the reason why we talked about going to get

137
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham was to go get a guy that could

138
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: snatch the football makee plays. He had receivers snatching the

139
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: football yesterday and that game. That's the difference. When the

140
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: slants are run, ball high, gallup, goes up, gets it inside,

141
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: tough catch and all that. You had guys going to

142
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: get the football yesterday, and that's that's gonna make a

143
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: big difference going forward. You want to keep, you know,

144
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: keep pressure on opponents, find ways to make tough catches

145
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: in traffic and when you have to extend or you

146
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: get coverage and maybe the ball is a little off,

147
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: go get it. They did that yesterday. Offensive line wide

148
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: receivers making plays in the outside I thought was really

149
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: big in that game. Yeah, I have to go back

150
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: and watch the game. There are a lot of things

151
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: that I feel like I missed because by the time

152
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: I was making a graphic and being done, I look up,

153
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: They're already making another place. So I could hardly keep

154
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: up with what was going on. They were playing so well.

155
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: But to me, credit to Kellen Moore and what he did.

156
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I thought he They just played so much smarter.

157
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: They played to their strength. I thought the combination between

158
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: the passing game like Dak wouldn't have I don't think

159
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: he would have played such a good game had he

160
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: not been for the running game and how he was

161
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: working as well. Credit to them figuring out how do

162
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: you utilize Zeke and Tony Poller. I thought they did

163
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: a really good job. There were a couple of plays

164
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,239
Speaker 1: where okay, the exception, but in general you could see

165
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: this is when you need a guy like Zeke to

166
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: come in. This is when you need a guy explosive,

167
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: dynamic like Tony Pollard to carry the ball. So I

168
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: just think they just played to their strength and played smarter. Yeah,

169
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 1: and you look at the numbers yesterday with Zeke and Pollo,

170
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: Zeke had fifteen carriage for forty two yards two point

171
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 1: eight average, two touchdowns, and I think the two touchdowns

172
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: are key. Polo had fifteen carriage for eighty yards five

173
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: point three average. And if you do what what Brian

174
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: talks about, I call him zekerd the combination of the

175
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: two and two. One. You had thirty carriage, one hundred

176
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,719
Speaker 1: and twenty two yards and two touchdowns. Like that's what

177
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: you want, is that two of them combined. Yeah, you

178
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: don't have to you don't have to have one or

179
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 1: the other. You got buck, and when you've got both,

180
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: you can do what they did yesterday. And you could

181
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: see the variety of what you can get out of.

182
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: You can get a sixty eight yard touchdown pass where

183
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: a guy runs a will route and just out runs

184
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: a defender. You can also get that one yard power

185
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: run to get you into It's gotta be this has

186
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: gotta be over, like, yeah, I mean kill that. We

187
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 1: gotta kill it because we just saw in one drive,

188
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: we saw these are things that Zeke cannot do. He

189
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: cannot do these plays. And then they get down to

190
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: the two and we see these are things that Pollard

191
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: can't do my favorite run and I pointed out to

192
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: you was one. It wasn't It was in the second quarter.

193
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: I think it was like a second or third and two,

194
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: third and one, and Zeke is clearly stopped. Yeah, and

195
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: he just like just keeps the legs drive it and

196
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: just pushes the whole thing two yards. They showed it

197
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: from the aerial and you could see he was stopped

198
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: and it was just like it just the whole pal starter.

199
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: He went horizontal and then but his feet were still

200
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: on the ground and it just he just launched himself four.

201
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 1: That's what he does. And I think you're absolutely right

202
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: about it. You know, they tried to score with Pollard

203
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: on the goal line. They really legitimately tried. Yeah, and

204
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: you know, and let's be honest though, I mean when

205
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 1: you watch it and you guys go back and see it,

206
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: you know they got I mean, Ferguson got just destroyed

207
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: at the point of attack on the first time they

208
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: handed him the ball and then you know, McEwan is

209
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: trying to find a spot and he runs right in

210
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: the back of Ferguson, so now it's all muddy and

211
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: he can't get home. The second one, they don't block

212
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: it really cleanly as well on the second one, but

213
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: still he's like stopped. He can't pattern. Then they put

214
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: Zeke in and here like he just you know, he's

215
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: able to kind of find that gap and finish forward.

216
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: You know. That's the thing. That's that's why having these

217
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: backs the way they are. When you get in third

218
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: and one and you get down on the goal line

219
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: and you hand them the ball, you've got to keep

220
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: drives going. You can't get stopped. And you're right, Nick,

221
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: there's things that that Zeke can no longer do. They

222
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: can't do the stuff we're all of a sudden, they

223
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: check and they run, they run the wheel, you know,

224
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: because they realized that they've got a matchup against a linebacker.

225
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: Dak was looking at He's like, okay, I got my guy,

226
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 1: and they got the safety comer. And great job by

227
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: Schultz running a route to get the you know, to

228
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,479
Speaker 1: get Smith out of the way when Smith and Peterson,

229
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: he gets them both out of the way and that's

230
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: up the sidelines. And that's the stuff that you don't

231
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: get to see with Zeke. You know, when you see

232
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: a one on one matchup, Okay, that linebacker is not

233
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 1: going to cover my guy. He's not and they did

234
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: a great job of doing that. Romo pointed this out

235
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: in the in the in the broadcast afterwards, is that

236
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: the best part of that play was the offensive line.

237
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: And I think he pointed to Zach Martin specifically, but

238
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: because to get him out in the wheel route that

239
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: takes a little bit of time, you know, And so

240
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: that was great. And then you mentioned Schultz on that

241
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: play running down the field, which was impressive. But I

242
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: couldn't get over the fact on the first touchdown past

243
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: the Pollard. I mean, Schultz is not just walls off yea,

244
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,839
Speaker 1: but he I mean he checked him off thirty He

245
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: sat him on the bench. Yeah, he was like, you're

246
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: with the cheerleaders. Yeah, like you're hanging out over here. No,

247
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: it was you know that That's the thing. I think

248
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: that when you look at Schultz overall, you know, he

249
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: gets a lot of criticism and flack for the way

250
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: he blocks. I think these young guys have helped him

251
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: along the way, you know, develop a little bit more. Okay,

252
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: I just can't be a liability as a block or

253
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: he's done it much better. He was really good yesterday

254
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: in that game. Yeah, all right, let's move on. Let's

255
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about the defense. You look at yesterday,

256
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: the fact they held him to three points. Again, Nick,

257
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: going back to your perfect game scenario. The offense scores forty,

258
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: the defense as into three. They had seven sacks, and

259
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: you're not even done. Yeah, I'm not even done because

260
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: you got you gotta do the third level the special teams.

261
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well we'll get to that. I'm just saying

262
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: it was made it perfect. Yeah, we'll get to that.

263
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: But but looking at the defense again, seven sacks and

264
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: a lot of that. Once they got to the second

265
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 1: half and they had this this lead, devil was really insurmountable.

266
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: Then it was like, all right, now they get to

267
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: do what they always what. Parsons didn't want to come

268
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: off the field. Yeah, you like, this is sounding to

269
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: sack up some numbers, you know. And the problem, by

270
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: the way to that ablem, somebody's got to get they

271
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: won't take his helmet away. That kid he wants to play.

272
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: I love that about him. Well he realizes he realizes like, okay,

273
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: now I get to rush the pastor I don't have

274
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 1: to play the run. I don't have guys diving in

275
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: my leg I've earned the right at that point, because

276
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: that's what they kept talking about last week. Earned the

277
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: right to pass rush once you're able to get a

278
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: lead and once you put a team in a situation

279
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: where they can't run the ball. They had that yesterday.

280
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: But I will I do have this question for you

281
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: because I say something real quick sure about the defense.

282
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: I think you learned a big picture thing yesterday that

283
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: you can travel diggs no matter what you can't. You

284
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: can travel digs no matter what you mean. Let's not

285
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,959
Speaker 1: act like anymore it's like, well, you know, I don't

286
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: know if they really want to do this. No, if

287
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: the other team has a star player, you can function

288
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: by traveling digs and everybody else will adjust. That defense

289
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: did a great job in the secondary of playing for

290
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: each other. They really did. And we always talk about, well,

291
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: assignments were bad here. They didn't twist tier, they got

292
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: a step here, they got to fill there. You know,

293
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: you look at the first the very first play when

294
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: you talk about the secondary, they're gonna try and run

295
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: the very first pass that Minnesota throws. They're running pick

296
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: routes and they're dragging feeling across the field. Jay run.

297
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: Curse is standing right there, and what happens. What is

298
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: that quarterback sees that He's like, I can't throw that.

299
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: He's expecting that thing to be clear across nobody there.

300
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw the ball. They cover for each other,

301
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: and then now it's now it turns into moving pocket

302
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: and now number eleven running from the backside. Good luck

303
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: on that. Yeah, So you had a secondary yesterday that

304
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: really played for each other. They did, they led, and

305
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: that number seven he traveled. He went with that guy.

306
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: And you know, other than I could say there was

307
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: one pass on the outside to Osborne that he could

308
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: have that went on the out that he could have.

309
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he just a little bit better out. But

310
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: that's that's nippicking right there. If you want to talk

311
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: about it, you know, it's I've seen him make the play,

312
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: come downhill, drive on the ball. But he traveled with

313
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: that guy. So we you'd never ever, ever not The

314
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: question should be if they have a great receiver and

315
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: it takes taking him out of the game, that number

316
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: seven can go walk with him and play with him

317
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: anywhere in the field. I love that. Yep, that's right.

318
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: Another thing that was that was really evident, and even

319
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: on the Vikings drive for a field goal, But if

320
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: you go back and watch it, they knocked the crap

321
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: out of that team, Like even on the Cooks seventeen

322
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: yard run that got a few more yards because it

323
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: was a holding whatever. Donald Wilson just blasts them out

324
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: of bounds and then another time tank and curse. I mean,

325
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: they are flying around. They hit them hard like they

326
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: were And Dad said it in his post a post game,

327
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: he was like, I knew this was gonna be a

328
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: problem because they were running around in practice whole week

329
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: like that. They were pissed off, said it. I asked

330
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: Stephen Jones before the game, you know, I said something

331
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: about I've never been in the jungle, but I would

332
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: imagine a pissed off Lions gotta be worse than anything.

333
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: I mean, And that's what it felt like. The whole

334
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: team was that way. They hit harder on the Vikings. Yeah,

335
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: you look at those numbers. I mean, it just was

336
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: amazing what they were able to do against an offense

337
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: that many thought were was one of the better offenses

338
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: in the league, if not the best offense in league.

339
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: Right up there were you could feel as the game

340
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: wore on the anxiety of Kirk Cousins. You could feel it,

341
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: you know. His it was the throw and duck throw

342
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: and duck and moved throw, you know. I mean he

343
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: was he knew that he was compromised, you know, even

344
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: with Derissau in there. I mean the play that he

345
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: got hurt on was a sack. I mean, he got

346
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: driven right back into I mean it was a great

347
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: job by Armstrong and just driving him and then there's

348
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: all kinds of you know, problems there. But yeah, I mean,

349
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: this is the great thing about this defense when they

350
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: when they know that they can rush the passer, it

351
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: makes a defense is a whole different defense the way

352
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: they play. Yeah, and I'll throw this outjestra perspective. You

353
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: talked about Digs traveling with Jefferson. Yesterday, Jefferson had three

354
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: catches on five targets for thirty three yards. Absolutely, I

355
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: didn't go back to look at his season, at every

356
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: game from his season, I'm guessing that's going to be

357
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: on the lower end of he hates playing the Cowboys.

358
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 1: Got five for fifty five. That's what he's got previous. No,

359
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: that that's what he's got against the Cowboys for two years. Yeah,

360
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,239
Speaker 1: he hates. I mean, there's something about this book and

361
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. We should never never ever say that.

362
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: Like listen, if you're going into a game and the

363
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: other team has a star player, that should never be

364
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: something that Dan Quinn doesn't automatically think about it. And

365
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: you know what, and it's more than just that star players.

366
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 1: There's not beeny. I mean, they've already faced i think

367
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: the best receiving tandem in the league, like in Week

368
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,959
Speaker 1: two when it was Chase and then Higgins and Boyd

369
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: and all that. So it's going to be really hard

370
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: pressed to find a better receiver that you're gonna face

371
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: with a complimentary two that that Minnesota has, you know,

372
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 1: I mean, and that's the Philadelphia game on Christmas Eve

373
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,719
Speaker 1: will be the one where you have to deal with

374
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: size and Smith and all that kind of you know,

375
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: and depending on if the tight ends back you know

376
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: that tight well he might be he might be Yeah.

377
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 1: So that's you know that that will be your next

378
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: time where you're gonna have to say, Okay, is it

379
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 1: going to be how do you match them up? You know?

380
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 1: But like I said, there should never be a question.

381
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 1: Now it shouldn't be like anbar at a press conference.

382
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: Haven't asked a question about were you gonna travel with

383
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: you know, well, you know traveling takes a lot. No,

384
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: you proved you could travel with the best receiver in

385
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: the National Football League and go find a way to

386
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 1: do it. When you mentioned the tight ends yesterday, it

387
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: was clear that Minnesota went into that game thinking Hockintson

388
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: was going to be a target that they wanted to

389
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: try to exploit. He had nine targets, only five receptions

390
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: for thirty four yards. Cowboys did a really really good

391
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,959
Speaker 1: job on him. Yeah, different curse. Yeah, sometimes they were

392
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: in zone. Sometimes they had a guy on him, like.

393
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: They did it in different ways, but they were not

394
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: allowed way to really get away. Curse got through. Well.

395
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: Hawkinson dropped the ball in the back of the end zone.

396
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: I mean that that was a drop. Yeah, but the

397
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: way that kur we've throw that pick and that's what

398
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: they were trying to do, that was a pretty That

399
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: was impressive play. I don't I'm not saying he made

400
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: the difference in there because Hawkinson's a first round time.

401
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: It could have been an easy throw. It could have

402
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: been a lot easier throw if he doesn't travel'll get

403
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: through the trash to get to the back of the

404
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: end zone. Yeah, but yeah, I thought, I thought curse,

405
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: And there was a couple times and and I didn't

406
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: even see the place it was blitz. The blitz that

407
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: he got the sack on. I mean, he's like, he's

408
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: acting like he's in coverage, and it just goes to

409
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 1: show you tank during max protection and it's the two

410
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: tight ends end up taking tank. Both of them go

411
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: for tank, and now he's got to free run it

412
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: at Cousins. That's when you gotta do with his defense.

413
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: If people are going to make mistakes blocking, you take

414
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: advantage of that. Don't let them. Don't let them get

415
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: away with a mistake there. And they made a big

416
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: one on that one. We're gonna take our first break

417
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: when we come back. I want to talk about the

418
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: fact that the Vikings didn't run the ball quite as

419
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: much as I thought they should have. We'll talk about

420
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: that and how much that factored into the result that

421
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: we saw yesterday. I will help when we come back.

422
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio. Todd thought it would be

423
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: secure to jog in the Cheetah Savanta. Todd believed the

424
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: big cat repellent he bought online was reliable, and now

425
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 1: Todd is trying to be faster than this cheetah that

426
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: can run eighty miles per hour. But the good news

427
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: is Todd has at and T five G. It is fast,

428
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: reliable and secure, and he learned the best thing to

429
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,439
Speaker 1: do is stop running and toss her the backpack with

430
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: the beef stew at and T five G. Fast, reliable, secure,

431
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: It's not complicated. Five G requires compatible plan and device.

468
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: from the s WBC Mortgage studios. At the start the

469
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: segments presented by blockchain dot Com. Let's talk about the defense,

470
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,719
Speaker 1: because the defense, you look at their numbers overall, they

471
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: played really well, obviously holding their opponent to the three points.

472
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 1: When you start really digging into the game, Dalvin Cook

473
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: had eleven carriages for seventy two yards. He was averaging

474
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: six point five on the ground. But Minnesota was throwing

475
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: the ball way more than they were running. And I

476
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: don't know that they were in a situation where opponents

477
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys have faced so far have decided to

478
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: keep running the ball rather than abandoning it. In the

479
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 1: first half a loan, Minnesota ran in fifteen pass plays

480
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: only nine runs. Do you think the Dallas run defense

481
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: is better or do you think they just face an

482
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 1: opponent that just loves to throw the ball and that

483
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: played right into Dallas's hands. I think that's part of it.

484
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,479
Speaker 1: I did question that if the Vikings were going to

485
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: go into a game and go, like, you know what,

486
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: this is what we're gonna do. We're gonna run the ball.

487
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:21,479
Speaker 1: We're gonna run the ball, because that's not the way

488
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 1: they're built. I didn't think they were gonna they were

489
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 1: gonna stick with that. I think they were gonna kind

490
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: of do the we're eight and one, we do it

491
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: our way. They can't stop whatever we may a facials

492
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: opponent exactly. And it didn't. It didn't work out. I mean,

493
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: he had eight for forty five in the first half,

494
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: but I mean it was twenty three to three at

495
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 1: that point, and so you know, they're not gonna they

496
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: feel too good about their passing game down twenty to

497
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: just run the ball that way. Yeah, it was surprising too,

498
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: But if you're those folks that believe in analytics, they're

499
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: the team that doesn't. They don't run a lot. That's

500
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: their kind of their thing, and you wonder. I think

501
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 1: the calb I think the Packers did it out of

502
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: necessity because they felt like, you know, I think the

503
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: Packers played the Cowboys smart, you know, I mean you learned.

504
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: If you're the Vikings and you're watching this game today,

505
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: you're saying, why are we throwing the damn ball? I mean,

506
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 1: the biggest problems they had during the game was them

507
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: throwing the football. And the Packers, on the other hand, said,

508
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: we probably can throw the ball, but we don't have

509
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: these receivers that are worth a damn So the two

510
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: backs are our strength. Let's just try. And you know,

511
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: I don't know how anybody would just let the Cowboys

512
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: tea off and pass rush yet I really really don't.

513
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: And I was talking to people in Minnesota up to this,

514
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: leading up to this game, and they're like, we're that's

515
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 1: like Nick says, we just we believe in keeping Dalvin

516
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: Cook fresh. And you know, there were times when Mike

517
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: Zimmer would run Dalvin Cook into the ground and stuff

518
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: like that, and it would just be carry after carry

519
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: after carry. This is Kevin O'Connell. It's a different, different

520
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: way he calls the game. But I don't know how

521
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: you could sit there and say, let Dallas rush the

522
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,360
Speaker 1: passer on us and let's see if we can get

523
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: away with it. And I they they clearly didn't respect

524
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: Dallas's ability to do that. Yeah, I was surprised too

525
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: the fact that they didn't run the ball a lot more.

526
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: But the way that the game started. I mean, to me,

527
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons making that sack to begin to start the game, right,

528
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: I mean, that sets the tone that I think that

529
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 1: was a huge play, and you just build off that

530
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: energy with the whole defense, which makes me wonder, why

531
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 1: don't you carry? But I don't care. I don't care

532
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: trying to figure that out. The Cowboys played the way

533
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: that they did, and going back to an earlier conversations

534
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: that you guys were having about the defense as a whole,

535
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 1: I was very curious to see how they were actually

536
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 1: going to be able to channel that energy that was

537
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: building up throughout the week. I mean, that was the

538
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: first time that they really got embarrassed in national TV.

539
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:58,719
Speaker 1: You're everybody talking about them, so some finger pointing started

540
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: to happen, and all that out where they're gonna be

541
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: able to handle. So to see everybody doing their job.

542
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if the run defense as a whole

543
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: is fully improved, just because we weren't able to actually

544
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 1: see that happening with this opponent. But if I mean,

545
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: we'll have to see with a different team that runs

546
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: the ball a lot more. But just all in all,

547
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: I didn't see anything that well, it's quick and the

548
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: Giants everybody, well everybody know the Giants loss. So we'll

549
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: see with what kind of energy they come to at

550
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: and T Stadium and how they play as well. I mean,

551
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: I think that you go back to that the first

552
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 1: drive of the game for the Vikings, not not the

553
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 1: one that they got the fumble, but the second time

554
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: they came out and they're down three to nothing. That

555
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: right there just goes to show what they don't they

556
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: don't do. They don't play this way. They come out

557
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: throwing on first down and there's a and there's a

558
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: past interference on Joseph and then they run for two

559
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: and then they pass for a first down. So on

560
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: first down, then they run for seventeen yards and so

561
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 1: they're rolling here. What do they do on the next

562
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: time they pass? Pass, pass, and they get a first down.

563
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 1: Then Cook goes for eight to the sixth. They're running

564
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: the ball with Cook. They got second and two from

565
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: the sixth past the Hawkinson past the Hawkinson kick a

566
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 1: field goal. That right there, I mean, that's like they're

567
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: not watching tape. They're not watching what Aaron Rodgers did. Yeah,

568
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: it's ro It's been a bunch of buns. The Parsons

569
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 1: sack fumble was a third and three and as you mentioned, Nick,

570
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 1: the next opportunity, they get down third and two, and

571
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: what do they do They throw the ball again, you know,

572
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 1: And that's some teams which is like, hey, this is

573
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 1: what we do. We don't we don't we're going to

574
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: throw the ball. We don't think you can cover. I

575
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: don't know how you can watch the Cowboys and not think,

576
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: what's the one thing defensively that would scare the hell

577
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: out of you? Them rushing the passer. It ain't defending

578
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 1: the run. I mean the running is something that you're

579
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 1: kind of like, that's the biggest question mark about this defense.

580
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 1: It ain't the pass rush. Minnesota and Kevin O'Connell just

581
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 1: kind of said, you know what, hey, we don't think

582
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: you can cover. Well, then again, it's like, yeah, we

583
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: don't have to cover because your left tackle is giving

584
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: up sacks, your left guard's given up sacks. You know,

585
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: we don't have to We don't have to cover because

586
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: of the pressure. Again, I hey, thank you Vikings for

587
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: playing the way, you know, but the Cowboys offense put

588
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: pressure on him to have to score though, too. Yeah,

589
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 1: and that was big. The Cowboys just kind of starting

590
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: starting fast, starting right away. But to your point, like, oh,

591
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: do you not watch film? Yeah, I think. I mean

592
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 1: we've seen it happen with the Cowboys as well, where

593
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: they go in and they just keep doing something and

594
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: we all clearly see that it's not working. So in

595
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: this case, it finally worked in the Cowboys advantage this time. Yeah,

596
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: the Packers got down fourteen points and still were running

597
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: the football. They're kind of like, okay, well, see the

598
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: problem was Dallas's offense wasn't as good in that game.

599
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: They didn't the Cowboys offense didn't make Green Bay pay

600
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: like they made Minnesota's offense pay for their lack of

601
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: getting things done. I got a kind of another big

602
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: picture thing. I think it needs to be mentioned. And

603
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: you know, Cowboys get a lot of criticism for not

604
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: doing things in free agency or the way they handle things,

605
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: don't make splashes. I think it's it's got to be

606
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: pointed out that by not signing Randy Gregory and they

607
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: tried to sign him, wanted to, Yeah, they wanted to

608
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,239
Speaker 1: So that's not acting like that was a decision. I mean,

609
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: Randy made the decision to leave, and then they came

610
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: after that and signed Dorn's, Armstrong and Fowler together, they

611
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: have twelve sacks seven and five, and they're getting overshadowed

612
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: because number eleven runs around and he's got ten and

613
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: he's not gonna he's not gonna let them have more

614
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: sacks than him. So that's that's just the thing. They

615
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: have seven and five and you know, Randy's played five games,

616
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: he's got two sacks, and he's banged up and whatever

617
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: it is. And I'm not saying the same thing what

618
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: happened had he been here because he didn't have Michael

619
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: Parsons also rushing. I get that. But and they traded

620
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: away the other rusher bunch up, so it's a little

621
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: different scenario. But you gotta give the Cowboys credit for

622
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: that and dan Quinn and all that, I mean, Fowler's

623
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: haven't he looked at it and said, hey, we can

624
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: make work with the with these guys. And Sam Williams

625
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: is coming around too. I mean, you got to figure

626
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: out ways to get him on this year. I mean

627
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: dan Quinn did that last year. Too, So it's something

628
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: he's he did it. He did it with Gregory like

629
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: like I think that that he's to be mentioned. He

630
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: did it with Gregory like Gregory hadn't ever had a

631
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: season like that before, so he can do it with

632
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: someone else. Yea. And even with that, what he have

633
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: five sex last year I think he had he had

634
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: six and again his career I is six, you know.

635
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: But I mean Dorian's armstrong, you know, And that's that's

636
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: what a credit to them stopping the run because that's

637
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: not his thing. He's not he's not going to stop

638
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: the run and he's going to rush the passer and

639
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: do his thing. When when they get to that point.

640
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: Fowler too. They got a lot of guys that they

641
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: like to rust the passer, but they they they they've

642
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: stopped the run. First, as we said, they ate their vegetables.

643
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,239
Speaker 1: They were able to have dessert. If you don't do that,

644
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: then you can't do all that stuff. And I just wonder,

645
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: I want and I think we're gonna see it, and

646
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: not even so much this week because this week is

647
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: an interesting thing just because the giants like you have

648
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: a different kind of running attack. You gotta deal with

649
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: you gotta deal with just a beastly runner, and then

650
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: you gotta deal with a quarterback that can run. But

651
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: I'm even more interested in see what happens against a

652
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: team like Indianapolis that has since they've made the coaching change,

653
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: has kind of rediscovered its running game and now they're

654
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: running the ball really well. That'll be an interesting test

655
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: as well. I don't know if you guys got to

656
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: see that game yesterday, because I was doing pregame show

657
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: and it was up the Philadelphia, so I was keeping

658
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: an eye on it. If Matt Ryan has continued to

659
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: play the quarterback, I played ten in the box because

660
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: he's not gonna be He looked like he was a time.

661
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: He looked like he was a thousand years old yesterday

662
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: playing quarterback. And but for the running game they got

663
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: in that game, Yeah, I know that, you say. I

664
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: guess I was watching him. I was thinking, how old

665
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: is things? No, he it was like a thirty run

666
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: week before they get a turnover. They get a turnover

667
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: in the start the second half, they get a turnover

668
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: on a sack strip and you know it hit hurts

669
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: and the back balls on the ground. It's Indianapolis ball

670
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: and they run three of the worst plays you can

671
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: ever imagine to kick a field goal, and they missed

672
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: a field goal along the way that cost them. You know,

673
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: you know, just Saturday went for an opportunity and they

674
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: didn't get the field goal. You know, Philadelphia was beat

675
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: But but if you're if you're gonna play with that

676
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: running game, great, fine, just put ten in the box

677
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: because Matt Ryan is not gonna beat you throwing the phone.

678
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna yeah, exactly. Pierce is not a bad

679
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: player for them, But that's the whole issue. Though they

680
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: can't they can't manufact Now, this is what's going to happen,

681
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: in my opinion, this weekend. Real quick, you're short week.

682
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? Short game plans, small game

683
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: plan kind of have, you know, can't work on a

684
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: lot of things, can't even practice, Gonna have to walk

685
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,239
Speaker 1: through some things. This is gonna be about a little bit,

686
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: I think of you know, the fact that you have

687
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: some familiarity with both teams is a great thing. But

688
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: the fact I think that you can't practice a lot

689
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: and do a lot of crazy ass things that we

690
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: generally see during the week. I think this is going

691
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: to be about both teams trying to kind of run

692
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,479
Speaker 1: the football and the waggles the boots and things like

693
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: that to kind of keep the game plan tight and small.

694
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, you got to be ready for them to

695
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: run the football in this game. They they they're gonna

696
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: look at your team and say, well, this is the

697
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: only chance we have because if we make Daniel Jones

698
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: have to deal with your pass rush again like you

699
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: did the last time we played, we're gonna lose this

700
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: football game. We're gonna take our final break when we

701
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: come back. We got to talk about a guy that

702
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: I think deserves some credit yesterday, the kicker. He is

703
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: doing a phenomenal job. We'll talk about some of the

704
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: numbers of what he's putting up this season. Just mind

705
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,000

749
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: WBC Mortgage studios at the Star were sent about Miller Light,

750
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 1: the only beer of the Dallas Cowboys, and it's almost

751
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: a shame other than the fact that it was such

752
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 1: a great game and so many guys played well, that

753
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 1: we're into the third segment and haven't mentioned the name

754
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: of Brett Maher. He did. He had I think a

755
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: really monstrous game when you just think about what his

756
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: role is on the team. Obviously, the kicker is still

757
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 1: to kick for that fifty three yard field goal in

758
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: Green Bay. Yeah right, I'm just kidding that that kick

759
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 1: was probably not gonna know. But but but you start

760
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: thinking about what he's done. He's done some things this

761
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 1: year that are abnormal for a kicker. Sure, and certainly

762
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: when you look at East nineteen of twenty one, it's

763
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: only missed two field goals. Both of them were fifty

764
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: plus fifty nine. Both of them were fifty. But but

765
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: what we also find out yesterday is that doesn't mean

766
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 1: he can't make it because he made sixty twice. And

767
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: I think we have to talk about the second line

768
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: he had to say it really was that might have

769
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 1: been Yeah, I don't know what the league is saying

770
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: or whatever. If that was a closer game, that would

771
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: have been probably something that the pool reporters talks about.

772
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: But that's embarrassing for what the NFL did. The end

773
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,720
Speaker 1: of what the NFL did is ridiculous, and they somebody

774
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 1: should be held accountable for that. You have one job.

775
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: You're sitting up there, you're watching the game. In the

776
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 1: final two minutes, I mean, I think the Vikings players

777
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: were saying no incomplete, So it should just be alerting,

778
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: alerting you. Right, then, let's look at this play. Is

779
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,359
Speaker 1: his feed in bounds? Did he catch it? Just look

780
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: at the play. The Cowboys gave you a timeout. I'm

781
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: not really sure why they called it. I think the

782
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 1: play clock was rolling down. They called the timeout. They

783
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: give you more time to look at it, and then

784
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,359
Speaker 1: you go and you freeze the kicker right when he's

785
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: about to kick it. If the coach does it, it's

786
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: one thing. If the league does it, that is excusable.

787
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 1: And another thing about that is like, you don't have

788
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: to stop it because you're sure. You have to stop

789
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: it because there's a question. Right. So, so the people

790
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 1: in New York or whoever was reviewed doing this to

791
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: make the decision, hey we're gonna check this out. Oh

792
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 1: you need it was a little bit of suspicion to think, hey,

793
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,240
Speaker 1: this this might be one that we need to review

794
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 1: you stop play, right, So the fact that they had

795
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: all that time to say, yeah, this might be one

796
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: we want to look at, that's the weird part to me,

797
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: what happens. And someone on Twitter asked me this too.

798
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: It's like it's all about perspective. Would you have been

799
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 1: mad if he missed the field goal? And if he

800
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: missed the field goal then he got a chance to

801
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 1: kick another one? And I responded, I bet you if

802
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: he missed that field goal, they would have walked into

803
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: the locker room. They wouldn't have done anything. They wouldn't

804
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 1: have said we're not even looking at this, we're going

805
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 1: in because the kick had already happened. Yeah, I'm talking

806
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 1: about it was. It took fifteen seconds for jim Nance

807
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: and Romo to finally say wait, wait, hold on, man,

808
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: hold on, like this is not going you know what

809
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 1: I mean? If he just missed the kick poorly or

810
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: missed you know, I bet you they go into the

811
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: locker room and say, we're not even looking. And did

812
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: they have anything that showed any of the rests actually

813
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 1: waving it off before it actually was kicked. No, No,

814
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 1: I didn't see anything on I didn't see to see.

815
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 1: The thing about it is and I don't know how

816
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: you even challenge it because his hands when he caught

817
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 1: the ball. When you see the final, his hands are

818
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 1: under a cupped under the ball. They're cupped, you know.

819
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: And so they're saying, well, maybe the feel you know,

820
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: maybe gene stair stores like, well, the you might have

821
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 1: used the ground. No, his hands were cupped under the ball.

822
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: That's that's how you know it's a catch. That's what

823
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,760
Speaker 1: you look for when you know you're making these decisions.

824
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, to to to not buzz down quick enough

825
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 1: with all that was going on, I mean that that's

826
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: that's inexcusable. I mean if and if you lost a

827
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: game because of something like that happened, oh my god,

828
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: that would be the NFL. Now now you're starting to

829
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 1: talk about the fixes in Yeah, now you're now you're questioning, Okay,

830
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: why do we have all this technology? What are the

831
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: you know, what is why is the the buzzers not

832
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: going off? What official responsible for that? What was the

833
00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: sideline official doing that's responsible for reviews? You know, there's

834
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 1: all these questions that you now have. But you know,

835
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,359
Speaker 1: Maher getting back to him, and I'll focus on him

836
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: let's give if you want to give front office credit.

837
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: How many times and you guys don't have to do it,

838
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: I'll do it. How many times have we seen the

839
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:18,359
Speaker 1: Cowboys and certain players to say, no, Garabay is going

840
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: to be fine. We love Garabay, We loved him in college.

841
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,800
Speaker 1: We think he's the next Tucker from you know, we

842
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: think he's this, we think he's that. He's he's better

843
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 1: than you know, the kicker that the Chargers have, Dicker.

844
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: They're better than him. You know that they there's so

845
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:35,839
Speaker 1: many times where they would just let this thing roll

846
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: and they evaluated, they really did evaluate that Garabay and

847
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: hire a lot who they weren't good enough. They weren't

848
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 1: good enough. And because we've seen plenty of times, they

849
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: just no, no, it's okay, he'll he'll work his way through.

850
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,399
Speaker 1: He'll work his way through. This kid that they they got.

851
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they're fortunate did it worked out.

852
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 1: He wasn't terrible for the Saints. He wasn't terrible. But

853
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: see people have the memory of him missing extra points.

854
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: It wasn't the long field goals that were that were

855
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: ever questioned. It was like, well, from forty to forty nine, right,

856
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: what was happening there? You know, what was happening on

857
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: the thirty white? WHOA what was that all about? So,

858
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,479
Speaker 1: I mean everybody was pretty you know, like, oh, let's

859
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: wait and see. But let's be honest. This whole Special

860
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: Teams thing has been money the whole year. The returner's

861
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: been money, the punter's been money, the kicker's been money.

862
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,800
Speaker 1: They've done a great job with this crew. They have

863
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: legitimate weapons with all three of those guys that can

864
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 1: that can switch a game or flip a game your

865
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: direction to look, I mean, y'all, do not want to

866
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: know what's going through my head right now? I absolutely

867
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: want to know what's going through your mind right now.

868
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 1: The fact that you said that, I'm like, I definitely

869
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 1: want to hear what was going on in your mind

870
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 1: right well. You know, I'm just sitting here and things

871
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: started coming up in my head, different thoughts, and you

872
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 1: know you talk about that, Brian, just the talent and

873
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 1: and I've mentioned it a couple of weeks ago. How

874
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: something that's impressive to me is this coaching staff being

875
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: able to make those decisions and me kind of moving

876
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: past the mentality the Jason Garret mentality of when he

877
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: was still here, and I know that not every decision

878
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: comes down fully to the coordinator, but I was just thinking,

879
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, huh, I've been pretty good about like everything,

880
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: Like I trust them in the types of decisions they're making.

881
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,919
Speaker 1: For example, we talked about the Kickers specifically, we knew

882
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 1: the issues, the issues that were there. They eventually decided

883
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: to make a move, they did it, and it shown

884
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 1: to be the right move. But taking it even further,

885
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 1: you can apply the same thing with dan Quinn what

886
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 1: he's doing on defense, and I'm thinking, Okay, I trust

887
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 1: what they're seeing in everything. But then I'm like, okay,

888
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: what's an area that I'm still like kind of raising

889
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: my eyebrows or just you know, wondering well wide receiver,

890
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 1: which is a position we've been talking about. Then that

891
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: leads me to Kellen Moore, which then this is just

892
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 1: how my brain is working. Then that leads me to well,

893
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore, he was with Jason Garrett and he still

894
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 1: got a lot of you know, from all of that.

895
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 1: So I'm you know, it's it's just I'm going down

896
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 1: a rabbit hole of I'm not saying Kellen Moore is

897
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 1: a problem and he needs to get out of here

898
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: or anything. But I just wish that that same mentality

899
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 1: of what we've seen so far on special teams and defense.

900
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: And maybe they are and maybe they'll be surprising us

901
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: at some point. But if there's still one area on

902
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 1: the team that I'm still wanting to see a change

903
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 1: in or something extraordinary happening would be wide receiver. But anyways,

904
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: we're talking about kickers specifically, and I think he's been amazing.

905
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: He's been surprising me. Definitely didn't think he would be

906
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: playing the way that he is when they signed him back.

907
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 1: You know, you look on Twitter and even because you're like, okay,

908
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 1: we already you were already here, you were let go

909
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 1: or whatever for a reason, why are you bringing back

910
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:06,360
Speaker 1: the same guy that you already had. But he's refreshed

911
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: and he's been doing an amazing job so far. You

912
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: know what thing I will say is, if you want

913
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,359
Speaker 1: to talk about the offense, they have made one big

914
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: significant change in my opinion, that is very in my opinion,

915
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 1: not Garrett like, and that is playing Pollard n Zeke

916
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: playing Pollard enze We saw it for so many years

917
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: where they were like serious three you talked about, like, yeah,

918
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 1: you put him in for serious three. If things don't

919
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: go well, you don't see him till the second half.

920
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:30,840
Speaker 1: They have incorporated him into the offensive game plan now

921
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: and we saw it yesterday with Zeke back where he

922
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 1: is a focal point of this offense. And that doesn't

923
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 1: mean Zeke doesn't get curious and they don't use Zeke

924
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: in the ways that you can use him best. But

925
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 1: now he is a weapon. And if you're going to

926
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: play the Cowboys, you better be prepared for Tony Pollard

927
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 1: and all that he can do. And showing that wheel

928
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: route yesterday just adds one more component where defenses have

929
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,400
Speaker 1: to be aware of what he's doing. Well said, but

930
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 1: he's also running the ball at the middle. No, none

931
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: of that works if you don't show that he can

932
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:58,879
Speaker 1: be running back and run the ball up the middle.

933
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: Not all the time because that's not his forte. But

934
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:03,800
Speaker 1: you can't do all the other stuff if he doesn't

935
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: play that kind of stuff. So that both of it

936
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: is is if we go back and count how many

937
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: games has Zeke and Tony had the same amount of carries? Yeah,

938
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 1: they both had fifteen in this game. I mean, I

939
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: don't know that. I don't think there's many games you

940
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: could say it got close. It's been close, but I

941
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 1: think this was one of the first ones that we've

942
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 1: had where they both got the same amount of carries.

943
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 1: And I want to mention real quick about you. We

944
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:31,320
Speaker 1: talked about the special teams. Turpin is becoming a really,

945
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 1: really good all around returner. And I'm not just talking

946
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 1: about a guy in space. A lot of guys can

947
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 1: do that. I'm talking about we saw it in the

948
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 1: press box. Really short kick, and that's because they're stared

949
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 1: at him. Really short kick. He flies up there, it

950
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 1: gets everyone out of the wayfair catch and makes that catch,

951
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: doesn't let it bounce where it could hit a player,

952
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 1: hit Joseph or somebody right go up there and catch

953
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: the ball. And he does that. He's the surehanded guy.

954
00:45:58,360 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: Well he did drop it. He did drop that one.

955
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 1: I guess he got it. He got it back. Yeah,

956
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 1: I don't really put that on your legend. I'm okay

957
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 1: with with what he's done. He's become a really all

958
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:08,839
Speaker 1: around returner. That is a weapon that that teams are

959
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:10,839
Speaker 1: scared off. To your point, they tried to set him

960
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: up on that play. The Paul that CD caught on

961
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 1: the sidelines, the Terrence Williams toe tap looking play. They

962
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 1: you know, they pull the center and get him in space.

963
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:23,280
Speaker 1: They're running, They're running Turpin on a go on the outside.

964
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: They're gonna try and launch that thing down the sideline.

965
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 1: Turpins in the game, Yeah, he just went he went vertical,

966
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 1: and what happened is you had to tight end underneath

967
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: and then CD a little further up the field. But

968
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: then they tried to run Turpin and set it up

969
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 1: to where they can get launch a launch point from

970
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 1: Dak all the way down the field on the Schultz

971
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: incomplete in the end zone. The first drive of the game,

972
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 1: they held his arm one arm, that's why. But also

973
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:52,839
Speaker 1: they also Turpin was flying around on the right side.

974
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 1: I don't I couldn't tell exactly what the safety was,

975
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: but I'd like to have seen him just throw it there.

976
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 1: And then it has been one on one in space

977
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: and I'll take a take Turpin on whoever's out there

978
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 1: with him one on one to the end zone. So

979
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to seeing how much better he how

980
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,800
Speaker 1: much more he improves next year, because right now I

981
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,439
Speaker 1: still think his game is he's just like a little

982
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 1: too anxious and too like come down, you know, there's

983
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,800
Speaker 1: some chaos, and the way he's coming off a second season,

984
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,319
Speaker 1: like that's also what people find. Yeah yeah, he had

985
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:23,720
Speaker 1: like twenty games in a yeah yeah, which is crazy.

986
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 1: But it's just he's like it. And I don't want

987
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: to necessarily use the level, the maturity word or anything,

988
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:35,839
Speaker 1: but just what comes with experience, the calmness that comes

989
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: with experience, because at the same time that anxiousness is

990
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: as part of his game and what you like about

991
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 1: him and what creates his amount of speed. But he's

992
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,879
Speaker 1: just he's so good and he just needs to kind

993
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: of polish a little more and then he'll be a

994
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:56,360
Speaker 1: freaking amazing special teams player for you. All right, appreciate
