1 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 2 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This He's Talking Cowboys, 3 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,079 Speaker 1: screaming live from the Dallas Cowboys World headquarters at the 4 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:32,319 Speaker 1: Star in Frisco. Here are Mickey Spagnola, Brian brought us, 5 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: Rob Phillips, and Bill Jones, and welcome into Talking Cowboys 6 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: inside the SWNBC Mortgage studio. Happy Monday to everybody. It's 7 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 1: a victory Monday out here at the Star. Cowboys thirty 8 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: five New York Giants seventeen in the season opener, and 9 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: I don't think it was really that close either. Dominant performance, 10 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: Rob Phillips, Mickey Spagnola, Brian brought us, Bill Jones will 11 00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: be back tomorrow. But we have so much to talk 12 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: about over this next forty five minutes. Not a bad 13 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: way to start the season. Huh. Took the words right 14 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: out of my mouth. Yes, absolutely, you know, And I think, 15 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: as I when my column gets up, I wrote, they 16 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: answered a lot of questions. I think that we're kind 17 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 1: of swirling around the team as they went into this 18 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: first game, and almost every one of the answers came 19 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: out awfully positive. In a game like that, when you 20 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: dominate an opponent. You should have dominated and go out 21 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: there and do what you're supposed to do. I didn't 22 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: see thirty five points coming, but I thought that they 23 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: were just so efficient and I just don't think you 24 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: could criticize much of anything they did offensively. Yeah, it 25 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: looks like to me a team that actually got preseason 26 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: snaps that were able to get a series or two 27 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: and then kind of parlay that into thirty practices that 28 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: we saw. Some of the things. Some of the questions, 29 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: It's like Mickey talked about, were what kind of game 30 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: was Kellen Morgan a call? And you know, Kellen Moore, 31 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: to his credit, saw a defense that he felt like 32 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: that he could attack, and he attacked it with play action. 33 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: He attacked it with clearly better skill players than what 34 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: the Giants had. We talked about it all week. It's 35 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: why you should listen to the show is we talked 36 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 1: about the Giants lacked of pass rush and even when 37 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: they tried to blitz, they got the pickups. They used 38 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: old Wally and pickups, they used Zeke and pickups. They 39 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: even used Tony Pollard in some pickups. So you know, 40 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: when the Giants tried to answer with some things. The 41 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: Cowboys had their own answers, and you know, give Dak 42 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: Press got a lot of credit clean pocket in front 43 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: of him. Receivers went in on the outside tight ends, 44 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 1: winning when they had to. So overall, offensively, I think 45 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: it was really a very well played game, even to 46 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: the aspect that, like I say, we learned a little 47 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: bit about the player coming out in multiple formations, even 48 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: sometimes getting in twelve personnel and then still throwing the football. 49 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: You know, that's something in the past we've kind of seen. 50 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: Twelve personnel was a Zeke handoff, and you know, but 51 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: here he is. I counted one time where he had 52 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: a play and I wrote about this last night, that 53 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 1: he had a play where he had four players moving 54 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: pre snap, yeah, you know, one after the other, and 55 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: then brought the first player, which was Randall Cobb, all 56 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: the way across the formation and then brought him back 57 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: on the fake on the jet sweep and through the 58 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: screen to Ezekiel Elliott going the other way out the 59 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: back door. So he's trying to show creativity. He's trying 60 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: to show that he can find ways to attack defenses 61 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: when they're just not good enough to handle you. And 62 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: I think that's a very very positive sign coming out 63 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: of that, you know. And one of the things that 64 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: I think was probably with all the things that happened, 65 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: maybe was underscored, was the fact that he went a 66 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: lot of hurry up offense. We didn't see that in preseason, 67 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: and I don't know that we saw it in training camp. 68 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: They would have a session maybe for hurry up, but 69 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: it wasn't like in the concept of just they drive 70 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: down the field. And what I liked the most was 71 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: when they hit him with a big play. There was 72 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: no celebrating. It was get your butt to the line 73 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: of scrimmage and let's go. We're we're we're not going 74 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: to let them regroup. We know we're we're gonna snap 75 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: the ball. And then the other thing, and maybe not 76 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: so much in the running game, but the offensive line 77 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: keeping Dak clean. No sacks. This is a guy that 78 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: was sacked fifty six times last year and he only 79 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: got hit twice. Right, And the other thing is he 80 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: didn't save any sacks by having to run out of 81 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: the pocket. His only two runs were called quarterback runs 82 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: and then to kneel down, So to me, the pocket 83 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 1: was clean. He had time to kind of survey the field, 84 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: come off his first bread, go to the second one, 85 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: sometimes the third. That was the time that he had 86 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: in the pocket. Uh. And you got to credit that 87 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: offensive line that really hadn't played together much at all 88 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 1: during the preseason. Maybe one time. I'm trying to remember 89 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: that second game, but I don't know that because Zach 90 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: Martin probably didn't play in that. He did not when 91 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: they played the starters exactly exactly. Do you want to 92 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: retract that this is a sky Wars offense? It is 93 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: one way you said that back in camp. Don't expect, 94 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: you know, Mike Leach offense necessarily for this team. And 95 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: I get your point because Dak said it after the 96 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: game was over. We're not running necessarily a bunch of 97 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 1: new plays like you said, Brian. They're presenting things a 98 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: little bit differently pre snap, making the defense guess and 99 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: dialing some things up at the right time. That's you know, 100 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 1: you know it's it's dialed up right when a couple 101 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: of these touchdowns, I mean, there's nobody within ten yards 102 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: of these guys. Blake jarr went on the opening touchdown 103 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: from twenty eight yards out, etc. Yeah, they caught. They 104 00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 1: did a nice job when you have a lot of 105 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: weapons like they have, or players that can make plays. 106 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: You know, guys like Randall Cobb in the slot. We 107 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 1: saw what he's capable of doing. But when you have 108 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: guys that that demand coverage on the outside and guys 109 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: that demand coverage inside, you can't. You know, it's like 110 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 1: the old you know, put your finger in the in 111 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: the damn there to keep the water from coming out. 112 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: There's just more holes. And I think the Giants got 113 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: caught in a situation yesterday where there were so many 114 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 1: trying to put their fingers and holes to stop the 115 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: leaking that it just the flood hit them. And you know, 116 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: that's that's that's the idea of how you build your 117 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: football team. You put as many weapons out there as 118 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: you can. You have a quarterback that, like Mickey said, 119 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: the quarterback had a command of what was going on 120 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: as far as they're able to play with pace. You know, 121 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: he's like making a play and he's like, let's go, 122 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 1: let's go, let's go. And you know, that's that's kind 123 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: of where we that the game is evolving to. When 124 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: it is about playing with pace, it's about making big plays, 125 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: it's about chunk plays and the Cowboys had their share 126 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: of those big chunk plays that really affected the way 127 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: that the Giants were. The Giants didn't have an answer 128 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: for them in the secondary. The kid DeAndre Baker will 129 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: be a great player for them one day, He's just 130 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: not right now. Janoris Jenkins, they feel like that they 131 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: got better at safety. I don't think they got better 132 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: at safety. I really don't. I was talking yea yeah, 133 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: Brill Peppers and that they are not good. I mean, 134 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: Jabrill Peppers, I think is an okay player. But but 135 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: they you know, for them to think that they can 136 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: line up Antoine but they against against Mary Cooper and 137 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: the slot and play at one on one with no 138 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: safety help in the middle of the field. Is that's 139 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: that's just that's not having an answer right there. Anna 140 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: Mari's touchdown in the game was with DeAndre Baker, their 141 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: first round draft pick, lining up on just a great throw. 142 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: Just a great throw, yeah, absolutely great throw and a 143 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: great and a great pickup inside. Matter of fact, it 144 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,119 Speaker 1: was Connor Williams. They run a blitz off the left side, 145 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: and Connor Williams not only helps Travis Frederick with his guy, 146 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: but here the young man having some awareness to bump 147 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: outside pick up the bootsk Tyren Smith had to go 148 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: get the blitzer and then here's Connor Williams sliding over 149 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: to pick up the guy and now the balls out 150 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: of your hands. So maybe Connor Williams last year would 151 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: not have been aware and then all of a sudden, 152 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: Dak would have been hit and much like Manny got 153 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: hit on you know with Lords, and the ball would 154 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: have been fluttering down the field. But that wasn't the case. 155 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: They had to get a great job of managing the 156 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: twist stunts that they had up front. They managed to 157 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: pick up the blitzes and then press Scott made them 158 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: pay for their lack of coverage on the back end. 159 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 1: You know. I was talking to Kellen Moore afterwards and 160 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: asked him if Dak had checked to that play and 161 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: he said no, he goes that was the play that 162 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,439 Speaker 1: was called and if we got the coverage we were 163 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: looking for, that's where we were going right it. And 164 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,559 Speaker 1: he looked because he could see the blitz was coming 165 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 1: and he saw and I saw it from the press box. 166 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: I said, oh, he's in single coverage. Yeah, the safety's 167 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 1: way in the middle of the field. Yeah, go for it. 168 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: Dad did a great job of holding Peppers in the 169 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: middle of the field. He never he never looked. He 170 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: never looked to his left until Connor, until the blitz 171 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: got picked up. And when that blitz got picked up, 172 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: then he looked as he looked to the left, and 173 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,439 Speaker 1: then that that kept Peppers right in the middle of 174 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: the field, like Mickey said, deep in a way. And 175 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: that was just a whole shot right there, the one 176 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: I wanted him to hit. I wanted him to hit 177 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: the older Walley one. How many times have we seen 178 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: that one? And wheel route, the wheel route. Yeah, I 179 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: was always afraid to talk about it to practice. You know, 180 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:24,719 Speaker 1: it's one of those things like, oh, they tried to 181 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: run olda Wally on the wheel where you know, I 182 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: was thinking, Okay, that's one of those secretive type plays 183 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: you really don't want to talk about. You know. The 184 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: coaches would walk up tea and go, hey, Brian, please 185 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: don't be talking about stuff. You're watching it practice that way. 186 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: But yeah, the older Walley route, that's that's one of 187 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,199 Speaker 1: those plays that you know, they got what they wanted to. 188 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: They had an outside linebacker who was really a rush 189 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: defensive end that was in coverage and if they could 190 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 1: have got the ball a little bit further down the field, 191 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: I think older Walley would have made that play, but 192 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: it was It's It's a play that they'd been working 193 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 1: on a couple different times in practice, and they actually 194 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 1: hit it a couple of times because they got some 195 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: of the they got the linebackers and coverage on that 196 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,839 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys and we're able to hit it. So 197 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: looking play. Kellen Moore, I've said it before when we 198 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: first talked to him back in OTAs, oh While he 199 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: was one of the first guys he mentioned in terms 200 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: of a versatile guy that did a lot of stuff 201 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 1: in Oakland, and people might chuckle at it because he's 202 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: the fullback, but he is versatile. And you know, Dad 203 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: completed passes to seven different receivers that very well could 204 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: have been eight. It's just an example of using all 205 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: the guys that he's got and a lot of talented guys. 206 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: And I think they sent a message to the next 207 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: opponent in the rest of the league that this isn't 208 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: a one man receiving corps. And I think you're picked 209 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: the click Michael Gallup, Yeah, it worked out that you 210 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: stole from me. I worked out. Okay, we usually give 211 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: you first choice. I know, and I let him go 212 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,599 Speaker 1: because I knew where he was going. Well, he was 213 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: seven catches for one hundred and fifty eight yards and 214 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: and boy was he good and not It wasn't just 215 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: nine nine routes. He was running those slants. He was 216 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: catching the ball in traffic, guys on him. H that 217 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: was a heck of a game. And I think that's 218 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: what we were expecting. That's what we've been seeing. We 219 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: have the benefit of getting the privilege of watching all 220 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 1: these practices going back to late July, and he has 221 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: been dominant at times in practice. And he looked at 222 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: Cooper in practice, he was he was there all the time. 223 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 1: You gonna talk about this defense? Yeah, you do it. 224 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: After the break, Uh, we got a couple more minutes. Quick. 225 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: Everything wasn't perfect now exactly. We'll get to that when 226 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 1: we come back, but real quick on Dac, just to 227 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: recap his day, twenty five or thirty two, four oh five, 228 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: four touchdowns and the Cowboys had touchdowns on five straight drives. 229 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: I believe time since two thousand they had done that. Yeah, wow, 230 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 1: perfect quarterback rating, Mick. That's the first time second the 231 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: first with more than twenty attempts, and one of four 232 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: players in NFL history to get four hundred passing yards 233 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: four touchdowns in a perfect rating. Yeah, I mean it 234 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: was unbelievable. Yeah, I mean it was could have drawn 235 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: it up any better. I mean, he was on spot, 236 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: he was seeing the receivers, he was given time. His 237 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,319 Speaker 1: four hundred and five yards. When I looked it up, 238 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: it's eleventh most in club history. He was two yards 239 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: short of being ninth because there was a tie for 240 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: ninth at four oh six uh. And I kidded with 241 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: Kellen Moore afterwards, I said, so did you quit callin 242 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: passes that fourth quarter to preserve your seventh spot with 243 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: four hundred and thirty five yards passing? And he laughed 244 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: and he goes, yeah, I probably should have thought of that. Also, 245 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: it was the most yards UH in a season opener 246 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: by a Cowboy quarterback in history. J. Troy Aikman owned 247 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: the record at three sixty two, but he needed overtime 248 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: in ninety nine against the Redskins, and those came on 249 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: the winning touchdown fast first day the back with the 250 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: with the Cowboys with ye rocket ishmael uh and they 251 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: they had named the play a rocket red glare. Yeah, 252 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: it was a nine route and rocket ishmail just burned 253 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: him down the field. And it was the same pass 254 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 1: they had thrown to him earlier in the game and 255 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,839 Speaker 1: he had dropped dropped it, and this time it was 256 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: an eighty yard touchdown pass to win it. But yeah, 257 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: if you think about all the games they've played, all 258 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: the great quarterbacks, and this was the best season opener 259 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: by a Cowboys quarterback. We mentioned Cooper and Gallup, they're 260 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: the first receiving duo on this team since twenty fifteen 261 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: to get both one hundred yard receiving games. And we 262 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: talked about you mentioned chunk plays. Brian five completions of 263 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: over twenty five yards and there you go, and you 264 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 1: know a lot of games playing that way. Yeah, you're 265 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 1: two for two in the red zone, which is a 266 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: encouraging dating from dating back to last season. But you 267 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: also didn't have to put yourself in that situation with 268 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: all the chunk plays they had offensively. And then let's 269 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: not forget Randall Cobb, who made a couple third down 270 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: catches to get first downs, and none more so than 271 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: the one on third down when they were at the 272 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 1: sixteen yard line. I think they needed eight yards or so, 273 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 1: and he not only caught the ball on and out, 274 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: but he broke the tackle, got the first down, and 275 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: got it to the five yard line, had set up 276 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: Witten's touchdown. So Randall, Cobb and Brian we've been talking 277 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: about this, his ability to run with the ball after 278 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: the catch and he turns into a running back. And 279 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: he did it. He did it a couple times, so 280 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: I didn't lose anything having him playing in the slot. No, no, No, 281 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: disrespect to Cole Beasley, and that's gonna be the last 282 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: time I say that, because you know, we all we 283 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: all respect Cole. But this is a different cat. This 284 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: is a guy that's the guy that's been there. He's 285 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: a bad ball catcher. You know. He's a guy that 286 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: can adjust. He can make the plays when he's contested. 287 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: You saw what he can do. He's he stopped four 288 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: yards short of the sticks and Hamilton tries to get 289 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: him on a low tackle and he just says, no, 290 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: you're not gonna get me. He put his hand in 291 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: the middle of his chest and stopped his momentum and 292 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: then just him to his side and then put his 293 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: shoulder down to get through bethet to get the first So, yeah, 294 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: this is a different cat with the ball in his hands. 295 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: He's a big time player. He's always been a big 296 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: time player. And you know, is the pro department. You 297 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: go out, you try and find those guys. You should 298 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: go out and try and find a guy that maybe 299 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: for one season he plays out of his mind and 300 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, now you've done a good 301 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: job of helping your football team win games because you 302 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: got guys like him on that team and it only 303 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: cost him five million dollars. Talk about that heck of 304 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: a signing, probably probably one of the best in the 305 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: entire league this past spring. All right, let's take our 306 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: first break.

But we are back inside the SWBC 349 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:15,360 Speaker 1: Mortgageio breaking down Cowboys and Giants. All right, you guys, 350 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 1: thoughts on defensively how Dallas looked giving up seventeen points 351 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: although one touchdown came late. What were your thoughts. Overall, well, 352 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: thank goodness, they made some big plays holding them to 353 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 1: ten points. Sure, because the overall performance from a yardage 354 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: standpoint giving up four hundred and seventy yards, which is 355 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,439 Speaker 1: the most yards they've given up in the last twenty 356 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: two games. And what's troubling to me is if you 357 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 1: look at what this defense had done over the last 358 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 1: two games. Going back to the Rams playoff games, the 359 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: Rams had four hundred and fifty nine yards against them. 360 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: If you add that together, that's nine hundred and twenty 361 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: nine yards they've given up in the last two games, 362 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: a long and four hundred and twenty four of those 363 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 1: are rushing yards, So one fifty one yesterday to the Giants. 364 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 1: And we don't need to keep tract of how many 365 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: games they've played without giving up a one hundred yard 366 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: rusher because they did it already with se Quon Barkley. 367 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: So to me, when you've given up four hund and 368 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,399 Speaker 1: twenty four yards rushing in two games, that's kind of 369 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: a troubling sign. And I know the games are nine 370 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 1: months apart or whatever, but still you gotta do better 371 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: than that. And I'm sure Rod and Marron Nelly's Barking 372 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: in there today, Well said Mickey. Well said on that, yeah, 373 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: I think to me that the game playing clearly was 374 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: to try and stop Barkley and to stop Evan Ingram, 375 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: and you failed both in both. If you really want 376 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 1: to look at it, you know, you can allow the 377 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: others to make plays, but you know that part of 378 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: it didn't kill you. They talk about they talk about 379 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: they would rather they're okay with the yards as long 380 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: as they don't give up the points. The thing that 381 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 1: was troubling to me was we talked about tack and 382 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: it looked like at times it was really really poor. 383 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: You know, so maybe that's something that will see to go, 384 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 1: you know, as we get into the season, that will improve. 385 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 1: But you know, yeah, you look at the if you 386 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: look at the overall numbers of who had to make 387 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: the tackles, Xavier Woods was your leading tackler with eleven. 388 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: It's never good when your safety's having to make eleven plays, 389 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: it seemed like. And two, I think the Cowboy was 390 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: very fortunate the game wasn't close, because they would have 391 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 1: just steady dieted you. With se Quon Barkley, I don't 392 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: think they had a real answer for him at all. 393 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: I just don't. And we made the Barry Sanders comparison 394 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 1: did too during the week. It's absolutely true about him. 395 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: And you know, if he would have I think Dallas 396 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: took him out of the game as far as the score, 397 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,360 Speaker 1: took him out of a game because if that thing 398 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,640 Speaker 1: was close, I mean, they just kept handing the ball, 399 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: handing the ball, and you're thinking, like, man, they have 400 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 1: not really stopped him yet. Day. You know, Anthony Brown 401 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: had a mistackle that could have been a minus play 402 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 1: spun off goes down, you know, Yeah, the fifty nine 403 00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: yard was a hell of a play by a Woozier 404 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: to run him down from the other side of the field. 405 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 1: Just a great effort because if a Woozier doesn't come flying, 406 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 1: they still scoring the drive, but just the effort to 407 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,239 Speaker 1: get over there. But yeah, they were blocked badly on 408 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 1: the play. There was nobody in the alley the ball 409 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: when it went out of there. It was you know, 410 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,239 Speaker 1: it was on he was setting sales. So yeah, I 411 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 1: think that you have to worry about I think you 412 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 1: have to worry about the pass rush. I don't think 413 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 1: it was nearly now that we talked about the Giants 414 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,400 Speaker 1: had had improved some with their with their pass protection. 415 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: It was clear that was something they wanted to do, 416 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: but I just, you know, it just wasn't It seemed 417 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: like the best pass rushes they had were when Eli 418 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 1: Manning got outside the pocket. That's when they that's when 419 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: they were the most effective. When when Pat Shermer was 420 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: making some ridiculous calls on third and four down, instead 421 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: of handing the ball to that number twenty six, you know, 422 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: he says, oh, let's get cute and try and do 423 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 1: something near on the outside. So you got some help there. 424 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,360 Speaker 1: Smart played by Woods, by the way to tackle that 425 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: guy on the goal line when the ball got outside. 426 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: I thought that was a brilliant play on his part. 427 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,679 Speaker 1: But yeah, overall, I think if you're the Cowboys, you 428 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: have to be concerned that the two best players for 429 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:14,479 Speaker 1: the Giants you did not really control. And you know 430 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 1: that that's you know they're I think they're gonna play 431 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,360 Speaker 1: better offenses. I think they're going to play teams with 432 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: you know, with I don't know if they have a 433 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: better running back, but just as good as tight ends 434 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: and even better receivers down the line, and a better 435 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 1: quarterback for sure. Now a lot of a lot of 436 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: Ingram's came in the fourth quarter and they were trying 437 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,439 Speaker 1: to keep everything underneath and they were just dumping, dumping, 438 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 1: dumping to him. But the sequon Barkley part just really 439 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,400 Speaker 1: worried to me that the defensive tackles weren't holding down 440 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: the fort in the middle. And then the linebackers, like 441 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: on his big run, Vanderish got caught looking inside and 442 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: he's chasing the ball instead of staying in his gap. 443 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: And they knew that this guy will jump cut on 444 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,679 Speaker 1: you and don't over pursue. That's what got him in 445 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 1: trouble against the Rams. They started over pursuing angles. Gotta 446 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: do better than that. And he was finding creases right 447 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: up the middle. You know. It wasn't like he was 448 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 1: speed to the outside. It was creases in the middle. 449 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: So yeah, that's gotta that part's gotta improve. And as 450 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: Brian said, you know you got one sack. That was it. Oh, 451 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: Tank was not happy after the game talking, I mean said, 452 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: it's not good enough. You could tell those guys were 453 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: not happy with the overall performance. Now they did get 454 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 1: off the field, yes, two of eleven. I think the 455 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: Giants were off third downs a couple takeaways. So there 456 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: were some good things there. Got off on fourth down two, 457 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: fourth down, big play by Tank there as well. Obviously 458 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: the terrible call. Yeah, I just you know, I mean, 459 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,120 Speaker 1: what are you thinking? I don't know. That's why that 460 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 1: that to me the Giant that's where you know, you 461 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,360 Speaker 1: have a you have a you talk about Kellen Moore 462 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: and the way he uses his weapons or way he 463 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: used the weapons yesterday. You know, when you take the 464 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: ball at Saquon Barkley's hands, that to me is a 465 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: that's just a sign of stupidity right there for Patton, 466 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: And if you're the Giants, you have to be sitting 467 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 1: there going why do we do this? Why do we what? What? 468 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 1: What are we doing here? Why are we trying to 469 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: do it? Happened twice right downplay when he when he 470 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 1: was getting hit and Vanderish hit him and they called 471 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: him for intentional grounding, right and then the fourth down 472 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: play fourth and one, and you're going to roll him out. 473 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 1: The best pressure they got, like I said, was when 474 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: they when they got when they got manning outside in space, 475 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 1: that's the best. But to get one set and I'll 476 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: tell you what something is a little disappointing to me, 477 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: just you know, because we've talked about the depth on 478 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:38,199 Speaker 1: this roster, especially the depth on the defense. It was 479 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: not you know, you watch guys like the carry Hiders, 480 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: and you watch the Joe Jacksons, and you watch the 481 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: backup guys. You know, if you're counting on these guys 482 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: to play, and it's late in the game, and I know, 483 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 1: maybe it's the score is not what it needs to be, 484 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: But if you're counting on Carry Hider and you're counting 485 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: on Joe Jackson and all those guys and any all 486 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: the other backups that were in that game or Armstrong, 487 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,640 Speaker 1: they did not affect that game or make a play 488 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 1: that the Giants just went down the field to get 489 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: that set that last touchdown. And a lot of that 490 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: was on guys that you're talking about being, hey, this 491 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 1: is the depth and these are the rotational players, and 492 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 1: this is you know, we And yeah, I'm guilty. I'm 493 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,919 Speaker 1: guilty of this because I'm sitting there telling you, well, Okay, 494 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 1: Kerry Hider can do this, and Doorg's Armstrong could do this, 495 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 1: and but those guys didn't show up like they needed to. 496 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: If they're going to rely on them to be rotational players, 497 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 1: they have to play better than what they played in 498 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,439 Speaker 1: that in that second half or that fourth quarter in 499 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 1: that in that game yesterday, it's not just shoot, everybody's 500 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: talked about the depth on that line. Yeah, two high 501 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: draft picks that were healthy scratches made an active in 502 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: the game. Maybe maybe have to rethink that might be 503 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:53,199 Speaker 1: Taco dying. Yeah, exactly, because my Armstrong got one quarterback hit. 504 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: Otherwise he zeroed out, didn't even make a tackle. Yeah, 505 00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: So to me, if you're gonna play the guy thirty snaps, 506 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: that's forty three percent of the plays and that's all 507 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 1: you get. I just and they tried moving him around 508 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: to the point finally they started a couple of times 509 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,239 Speaker 1: they moved Lawrence over to the right side. Yes, they 510 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: weren't getting any plas over there. They weren't. That's where 511 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: they tried to take advantage a little bit of Nate 512 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,679 Speaker 1: Solder and Nick Nick Mickey was right about that. Then, 513 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 1: you know, take advantage of that. But you know, the 514 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: best player, the best player on the field with all 515 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: that young group playing was was Tyren Crawford playing as 516 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 1: the under tackle. I mean, he was the one guy 517 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: that was actually and you know, he's a starter, and 518 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: there's a reason why he's a starter, but the guys 519 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 1: around him were not showing up, and that that that 520 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: part of it is disappointing, because they throw you out 521 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 1: there for a reason, you know, and if you're if 522 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: you're incapable of getting pressure or making tackles or making plays, 523 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: then maybe the thought about, well, wait a minute, you 524 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: got you guys mentioned, we got Hill here, we've got 525 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 1: Taco here, as time to say, okay, well let's let's 526 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: see what's going on here. Let's really see what's going on. 527 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: Because that was inexcusable the way that those guys played 528 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 1: and allowed the Giants just to just to go down 529 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 1: the field, the way they did score that touch. You know, 530 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 1: when I'm looking at the tackles, you got to get 531 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: to four the eighth guy in tackles antoine Woods with 532 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: two and Covington with two, and that was it on 533 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 1: the defensive line. So you got to do a better 534 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,120 Speaker 1: job than that. Somebody's got to do something. Now, they 535 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: tried to. They said they were going to rotate the 536 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 1: guys and not give them that many snaps. So Lawrence 537 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:39,879 Speaker 1: ended up playing thirty two of the snaps, so thirty 538 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: two of the sixty nine snaps and Crawford end up 539 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: playing thirty of the sixty nine. But again, the idea 540 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: was to get more versatile guys there. Well, they may 541 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: have to rethink that and get a pure pass rusher 542 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 1: in there on one of those sides opposite to Marcus Lawrence. 543 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: We'll see if the approach changes going into week two. 544 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: All right, let's take our final break. We come back. 545 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 1: We'll keep breaking down this game.

We've only got a few 601 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 1: minutes left in the show. So speaking of get going, yeah, 602 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: number twenty one, Yes, you want to touch on him 603 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: before we get out of here. He got going, ended 604 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,959 Speaker 1: up with We kept talking about twenty twenty five snaps. 605 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 1: He ended up with thirty seven snaps in the game. 606 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 1: A couple drives went a little longer for it, That's 607 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: what Jason said. He pointed out that, okay, we had 608 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 1: this thing going and they weren't taking much time between 609 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 1: plays the substitute, so they left him in there no 610 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: worse for wear, and that thing I think physically look fine. 611 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: I think towards the end there that drive when he 612 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: ended up scoring the touchdown, he looked like he was 613 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: getting a little bit more in rhythm, that he was 614 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: seeing the holes a little bit better, and he was 615 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 1: I think he was really conscious of making sure he 616 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,719 Speaker 1: hung onto the football in a lot of those instances 617 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 1: because he hadn't been hit right. So that's a great point. 618 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: He got to be careful. It's one thing to be 619 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: in shape, but that's one thing you're missing when you're 620 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: not here or just getting banged around. Why he would 621 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: at least got you know, touched up in the training cas. Yeah, 622 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: but I thought that that drive when he scored the 623 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 1: touchdown on the ten yard run, he kind of showed 624 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: I go, okay, that's Zeke, and the run before that, 625 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: oh okay, I'm starting to zee Zeke. So they did 626 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: a good job, but I'm not sure how well they 627 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: did run blocking. I don't know if the run blocking 628 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: on the offensive line takes a little more coordination. You know, 629 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 1: it's funny that, you know, there was so much success 630 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: throwing the football, and it's amazing even not running the 631 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: ball well, the threat or the potential of having a 632 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 1: Zekiel Elliot and there affected the way the Giants played 633 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 1: their linebackers. You know, they were so conscious of stepping 634 00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 1: up and trying to fill that. That's those slants and 635 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 1: stuff were coming off the back. I mean their play action, 636 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: he fakes the inside handoff and you've got full flow 637 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 1: going one way and the next you know, they got 638 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 1: one on one on the back side with nobody in 639 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: that hole. I wouldn't have I wouldn't have run the 640 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: ball either. I mean, if if they're gonna give you that, 641 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 1: if they're gonna give you ten twelve yards every shot 642 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 1: doing that, Now you know that what I saw was 643 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 1: with the with the run blocking though is there was 644 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 1: It's it's gonna be more about getting Zeke back to 645 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: the flow of okay, when when we get the push here, 646 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 1: making that cut here again? You know, I think he 647 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: the timing of some of their runs wasn't as good 648 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 1: as it needed to be, But that will come. That 649 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 1: will come with practice. He just needs to get back 650 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 1: in the flow of okay when we when they pushed 651 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 1: the front side here wears it on the back side, 652 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 1: Where do I need to make that cut? I think 653 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: I think Zeke was instead of trying to cut the 654 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 1: ball back and make runs, he was more about let's 655 00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 1: just press the hole, get what we can and go forward. 656 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 1: Just keep That's his mindset. Wasn't about try and make 657 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 1: the huge. It was just trying to get what I 658 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 1: can get there, get what I can't get there, you know. 659 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,440 Speaker 1: But throwing the football. Hell, I wouldn't. I wouldn't have 660 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,319 Speaker 1: run the ball at all if I'd known I was 661 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 1: gonna protect as well as I did and have receivers 662 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 1: went on the outside like they did. You know that 663 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 1: drill they do in training camp where Gary Brown basically 664 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 1: the running backs coming at Gary Brown and they have 665 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: those garbage cans set up and then he gives them 666 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:30,919 Speaker 1: the number, the whole three to cut. Yeah, and I'm 667 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 1: sure they didn't do that in Cabo right right, unless 668 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 1: they lined up Margarita's and then it's like, okay, go 669 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 1: this way, go that way. He said he did try 670 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: to simulate plays, and I don't know exactly how he 671 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,759 Speaker 1: did it, but they probably didn't have the garbage can 672 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 1: zee probably not. And you know, and that's one thing 673 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: the running backs got to see. Kind of keep your 674 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 1: head up and you got to look for where the 675 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 1: whole at the last minute. But bunts open. I mean, 676 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 1: that's what Barkley was doing awfully well, by the way. 677 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 1: So yeah, but other than that, you know, from a 678 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 1: physical standpoint, they were right. He was in good enough shape. 679 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 1: How many touches he ended up having thirteen runs in 680 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 1: one catch? Is that right? Yes, and one drop. Yeah. 681 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 1: Screen was pretty screen they set up. I talked about 682 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 1: all the movement, the pre snap movement they had just 683 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 1: to get to a screen. I mean that's you know, 684 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,400 Speaker 1: and I think you'll see more. I think you'll see 685 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,760 Speaker 1: Ezekiel at once again feel more comfortable with making those cuts, 686 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 1: the violent cuts we've seen in you know, the Giants 687 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,880 Speaker 1: they were committed to try and like I said, step 688 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 1: up and try and make tackles. They were not going 689 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 1: to let him dictate this game. The problem is, like 690 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,920 Speaker 1: I said, they they let the they let the receivers 691 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,880 Speaker 1: and tight ends just abuse him in this game. And 692 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:39,919 Speaker 1: you know, with no pass rush. I mean that that's 693 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,319 Speaker 1: that's a that's inexcusable for them. They've got they've got 694 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,400 Speaker 1: a lot of issues on that that that defense for 695 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 1: the Giants, they really really do. I mean, it was 696 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,839 Speaker 1: almost like they made this bet that, by golly, we're 697 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 1: not letting Zeke beat us or Tony Pollard beat us. 698 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 1: Dak and you beat us, well, you know what, you 699 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: lost the bet. You lost the bet he did and 700 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:04,239 Speaker 1: after the game, you know, the contract talk was unavoidable. 701 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 1: And what did you hear from that in the locker room? 702 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 1: Or outside the locker room with Jerry and Stephen. Yeah, 703 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,239 Speaker 1: the only thing that you know, it sounded like because 704 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,480 Speaker 1: when Jerry was asked about it right away, he kind 705 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 1: of parried the question away and we're not talking about it, 706 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 1: and I guess later he said, yeah, it's imminent, So 707 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,400 Speaker 1: we'll see what imminent the definition? What does that exactly? 708 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: You mean like it's a it's it's right or way 709 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:31,719 Speaker 1: like maybe tomorrow, but we'll see, you know, everybody the 710 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 1: question everybody keeps asking as well, Okay, how much did 711 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,879 Speaker 1: that game cost to Cowboys? Because the price went up. 712 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 1: But I'm thinking if you were that close to a contract, 713 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 1: they're not going to sit here all of a sudden 714 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,399 Speaker 1: and rip everything up and accomplished and start again and say, 715 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 1: oh wait a minute, now you know what, we got 716 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,400 Speaker 1: a perfect quarterback? Well I need ten more million dollars. 717 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,799 Speaker 1: It just maybe it helps you resolve a little bit. 718 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,319 Speaker 1: I think it speeds up the process. Maybe it helps 719 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,480 Speaker 1: the little things that you haven't agreed to yet. Yeah, 720 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 1: it helps you resolve a little bit more. Maybe it 721 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,359 Speaker 1: solidifies your thought. They're like, okay, we're handing this hand 722 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,319 Speaker 1: this young man a lot of money and we're going 723 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,280 Speaker 1: to make him the future of our team, a future 724 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,479 Speaker 1: for our franchise, and maybe that gives you a little 725 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 1: bit more of a Okay, we saw some of those things. 726 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,640 Speaker 1: That's what we always talk about. Scouts and first front 727 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,919 Speaker 1: office guys always want to see players perform well. And 728 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 1: you know, clearly with him and Kellen Moore and the 729 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 1: way that this, uh, this offense looked yesterday throwing the football. 730 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 1: You know, that gives you some hope that all the 731 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 1: things of working with John kitt and all the things 732 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,160 Speaker 1: they did this summer, all the extra work, everything about 733 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 1: that was at least for one game, was very very positive. 734 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 1: And the other thing I think it does is reinforce 735 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,359 Speaker 1: your thoughts that, Okay, I'm gonna make this purchase. Think 736 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,440 Speaker 1: about when you've made a big purchase and then you 737 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,239 Speaker 1: sit there and do it and you go, God, what 738 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 1: did I just do? And then you know, once you 739 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 1: get whatever you had and it's what you thought it was, 740 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,480 Speaker 1: you're going, Okay, this was good. So maybe this gives them, 741 00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 1: you know, no buyer's remorse here when you seems like 742 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,759 Speaker 1: absolutely anything off periscope that's cooking. Brian. Before we get 743 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,440 Speaker 1: out of here, any guys want to touch on that 744 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 1: we haven't touched on. Now. They're just they're out, They're 745 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,880 Speaker 1: they're concerned about the the they were wondering what we 746 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 1: thought about the linebacker play overall. I know, I think 747 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:16,840 Speaker 1: vander Esh was second on the list in tackles the nine. Yeah, 748 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 1: and then you know with Jalen, you know, to me, 749 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: I was I was expecting a bigger game from those guys. 750 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 1: I know, because Layton Vanderus was like my guy, my 751 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 1: pick to click guy. Because because I didn't feel like well, 752 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,880 Speaker 1: I didn't feel like though that the Giants would be 753 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,319 Speaker 1: able to get to the linebackers. I thought all I mean, 754 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 1: I thought all three linebackers were going to play really 755 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,120 Speaker 1: really well in that game. But you know, vander Esh 756 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,319 Speaker 1: other than Mickey, talked about the one time that he 757 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:43,200 Speaker 1: got got hooked pretty good. But yeah, I think that 758 00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 1: they as a group, they would probably watch that tape 759 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:46,440 Speaker 1: and see they need to play a little bit. I 760 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 1: think the front seven and as a whole probably feels 761 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:50,759 Speaker 1: like they need to play a little bit better. And 762 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:54,240 Speaker 1: then again, you know, people are also asking about Anthony Brown. 763 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 1: They're saying, hey, when does Byron Jones get back into 764 00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,360 Speaker 1: the into the mix, and I wrote last night this 765 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,240 Speaker 1: this could be the week that we could see Byron 766 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,000 Speaker 1: Jones back there. It is starting right cornerspack spot because 767 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 1: now he's got some time to practice. He got some 768 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 1: work in the dime and the nickel and stuff like that. Yes, 769 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,239 Speaker 1: a matter of fact that the one he had some 770 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,719 Speaker 1: coverage on Evan Ingram was was incomplete. So it was 771 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 1: good to see him back doing those kinds of things. 772 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,279 Speaker 1: But uh yeah, this could be the week that we 773 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,480 Speaker 1: see them flip that that out now and go back 774 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,399 Speaker 1: with Byron Jones after he made it through this game. 775 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,839 Speaker 1: What do you get, Mick, like twenty snaps twenty five? 776 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:34,000 Speaker 1: Who's at Yeah? Uh eight? Not bad? And you know 777 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,920 Speaker 1: what the one the one play the Brown if I'm 778 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:41,960 Speaker 1: remembering correctly, the catch Foler made on the sideline. Yeah, 779 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,360 Speaker 1: I mean that was just a great effort. Oh no, 780 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:49,120 Speaker 1: no questioning you can do. But I thought it was 781 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,040 Speaker 1: it was on the left, Yeah it was, he was right. Yeah, 782 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 1: so I thought it was Brown. Brown missed one tackle. 783 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,960 Speaker 1: He got blocked on that one run. But I mean 784 00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,080 Speaker 1: it wasn't like that, you know, it didn't seem like 785 00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 1: they were just a ripping them down the field. Ye, 786 00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 1: but yeah, I think Jones helps out and Brown goes 787 00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 1: back in the slot and Jordan Lewis got beat a 788 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 1: couple of times in there. But a lot of the 789 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,560 Speaker 1: stuff they did, you know, a lot of it was 790 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,680 Speaker 1: just dump off stuff and they had to come up 791 00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:20,400 Speaker 1: and rally to the ball. All right, Well that was 792 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,440 Speaker 1: a quick wrap up, huh. We rallied to the end 793 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,080 Speaker 1: of the show. A lot to talk about flew by quickly. 794 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 1: We'll be back tomorrow to continue breaking down what you 795 00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,200 Speaker 1: saw in week one. Maybe look ahead to the Redskins. Skins, 796 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,560 Speaker 1: appreciate you guys joining Which half do you want to 797 00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,960 Speaker 1: look forward to? I've watched both so far. Yeah, I 798 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,000 Speaker 1: was gonna say there's a lot first half. For the 799 00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,200 Speaker 1: second half, there's a lot to unpack there as well. 800 00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,239 Speaker 1: We'll see you guys on Tuesday. The break is next. 801 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 1: This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 802 00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:49,800 Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
