Speaker 4: It is the morning after a thirty one to ten

12
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 4: loss for the Dallas Cowboys up in Buffalo. As we

13
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 4: welcome you into Talking Cowboys, presented by Black Rifle Coffee Company.

14

16
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 4: Kyle Yeomans.

17
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: And it wasn't pretty in Buffalo. It was never pretty.

18
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 4: Buffalo jumps out to a fourteen to nothing lead, Dallas

19
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 4: musters of field goal and really outside of garbage time,

20
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 4: that was about it for the Boys.

21
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: Is uh?

22
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 4: They were down by the biggest tap time deficit nineteen

23
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 4: points or excuse me, eighteen points since they were down

24
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,839
Speaker 4: nineteen against Washington and twenty twenty and then they lose

25
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 4: in this one thirty one to ten with a late

26
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 4: touchdown from Ceddee Lamb, Nick Harris, you were on the scene,

27
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 4: you were there, you watched it. The weather wasn't as

28
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 4: bad as it definitely couldn't have could have been, but

29
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 4: the play on the field wasn't very good.

30
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, that kind of leads into my point. The weather

31
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 7: was not the issue. Jonathan Hankins not being in the game.

32
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 7: I don't think that was the issue.

33
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: Oh that was a big issue. I completely disawreveed. Well,

34
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:46,559
Speaker 1: I like what you're saying.

35
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 4: Hold on, I think you've got an MVP award for

36
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 4: Jonathan Hankins.

37
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 7: Okay, hold on, Jonathan Hankins was not the reason they

38
00:01:58,960 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 7: lost that game.

39
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. Do you think we'll get through

40
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 3: going We can get to it.

41
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 7: The reason that the Cowboys lost this game is because

42
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 7: they don't show up on the road, and it's it's

43
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 7: becoming a theme over and over year after year, these

44
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 7: big games, these big tests on the road, they don't

45
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 7: show up.

46
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 3: There was no physicality.

47
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 7: I mean sure, there's probably a lot you could take

48
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 7: away from these past two games. You can look at

49
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 7: and say, Okay, these two last two games against the

50
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 7: Seahawks and the Eagles, really physical games, probably more physical

51
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 7: top three physical games that the Cowboys have had all season,

52
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 7: So maybe there's a little bit of layover going into

53
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 7: this game. But still you have to show up on

54
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 7: the road against a team like the Buffalo Bills. We

55
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 7: were talking about their offensive line last week. All these

56
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 7: guys are six five plus three twenty plus, and they

57
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 7: all showed that throughout the game. They were getting into

58
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 7: that second level, dominating de Mont Clark, dominating Marqueespell. On

59
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 7: the offensive side of the ball, it was the same deal.

60
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 7: I mean, Dak Prescott was running for his life at times.

61
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 7: And Dak was not great either. I mean, he made

62
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 7: some poor decisions. He wasn't trusting, he wasn't trusting the

63
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 7: timing with Ceedee Lamb and Brandon Cooks. And I'll talk

64
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 7: about the running game really quick, just because I know

65
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 7: that that's already an early talking point here. Jonathan Hankins

66
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 7: being in the middle of the field doesn't prevent the

67
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 7: edge not being contained the entire night. James cook still

68
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 7: runs for probably one hundred and twenty yards last night.

69
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 7: If Jonathan Hankins is in the game. There were so

70
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 7: many running lanes around the edges. It wasn't just the

71
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 7: a gap was the a gap abused absolutely one thousand percent,

72
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 7: but it was coming around the edges and there was

73
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 7: no contain James Cook was breaking tackles looking like Barry

74
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 7: Sanders was.

75
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 3: It was tough from the very beginning.

76
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 7: But I think the biggest issue with this with this

77
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 7: team right now is they can't show up on the road.

78
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 7: And there's another opportunity to do that next week, but

79
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 7: now since you lose that game, you have to figure

80
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 7: out how to do.

81
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 3: It before the playoffs come around.

82
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 7: Yep, because that's it's becoming a certainty now that you're

83
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 7: gonna have to go on the road in the wildcard round.

84
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: Well, it's been a talking point too.

85
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 4: I mean even Mike McCarthy addressed it yesterday talking about

86
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 4: the lack of or the presence of a gap, the

87
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 4: fact that there is a gap between home and away

88
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 4: and hearing your head coach address that, to me, that's

89
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 4: a concern because if you're head coach, a lot of times,

90
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 4: even if it's obvious you have a gap home in

91
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 4: a way, you're not going to address it from a

92
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 4: head coaching standpoint. You're gonna talk to talk maybe within

93
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 4: closed doors within your staff, maybe even not even address

94
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 4: the team in that instance, but he said it out

95
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 4: loud yesterday in the post game. He's like, no, there's

96
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 4: a problem here. And if there's literally, if there's a

97
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 4: full blooded problem of having a lack thereof consistency on

98
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 4: the road, I have zero confidence going into these big

99
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 4: pressure games on the road in the postseason and getting

100
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 4: a win. The only one I can really think back

101
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 4: to in terms of big pressure wins where you got

102
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 4: it done on the road in recent memory was the

103
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay win.

104
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: Last year in the Wildcard round. That was about it.

105
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 4: That was the only time that they've carried that over

106
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 4: from what they do at and T Stadium to what

107
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 4: they do on the road.

108
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: I hear what you guys are saying.

109
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 8: I agree partially with what you guys are saying as

110
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 8: a former player, even though it might very well be

111
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 8: abundantly true that their play is diminished on the road

112
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,799
Speaker 8: versus at home, there's no real justification, you know, like, yes,

113
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 8: that's a factual statement. They have this year played like

114
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 8: trash on the road. At home, they play amazing. The

115
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 8: stats back that up, coach backs that up. But there's

116
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 8: no real reason as to why you will play differently

117
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 8: on the road, and people are going to be looking

118
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 8: for a reason, they're going to be looking for a fix.

119
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 8: There is no fix to that. It's just how it's happened. No,

120
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,239
Speaker 8: you don't have a different approach to the game because

121
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 8: you're not at home. You might have a little bit

122
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 8: more energy, a little bit more momentum at times because

123
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 8: you're vibing off the crowd. Sometimes, depending on the environment,

124
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 8: you might have to go to nonverbal communication because of

125
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 8: the environment. But in terms of your exit cution, there

126
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 8: is nothing about a different environment that changes your execution

127
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,799
Speaker 8: of a play. There's no there's nothing about a change

128
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 8: of environment that changes your assignment or your ability to

129
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 8: execute that assignment. Like there's there's nothing literally nothing about

130
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 8: playing on the road aside from the noise and what

131
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 8: you have to do to account for the noise.

132
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: That's it, Like literally it not the.

133
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 8: You get out there early, you do your walkthroughs, you

134
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 8: find the play clocks.

135
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: You know exactly where or everything's at, you find where where.

136
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 8: Your sidelines at, and all the kind of information that

137
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 8: you need in terms of identification. Outside of that, you're

138
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 8: playing ball. So this narrative of you know, cowboys playing

139
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 8: like trash on the road, and we got to find

140
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 8: out why there's no why there is no why.

141
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 4: Could it just be as simple as this this team.

142
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 4: Maybe there's an inexperience, Maybe there's an immaturity with this team.

143
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 4: I think there's a lack of discipline, because that was

144
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 4: my that was my number one thing yesterday was lack

145
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 4: of discipline.

146
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: Penalties, bad assignment. Yeah, I mean, but penalties are going down, frustrating. Yeah, yeah,

147
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: there's three prints.

148
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 8: There were three bad penalties, right, personal foul penalties that

149
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 8: obviously when they happened, they had a dire effect on

150
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 8: the game. However, the penalty mark has been going down.

151
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 8: I think we were at fourteen twelve seven five now, right,

152
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 8: so that number is going down.

153
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

154
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, they're very impactful, right, So, yes, some of those

155
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 8: stat lines that you wanted to address, they're going in

156
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 8: the positive direction now. The impact that those that number

157
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 8: still has on the game is obviously is showed up

158
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 8: in the game obviously, but again, as people were trying

159
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 8: to dive in and trying to figure out this role

160
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 8: versus home, I'm telling you, as a player, you ask

161
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 8: any players outside of the alterations that you have to

162
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 8: make and to account for the noise and the communication

163
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 8: to how that noise affects your ability to communicate effectively

164
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 8: in the game. There is nothing else that's different. Cowboys

165
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 8: are not playing, they're not practicing on their home field,

166
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 8: they're at that home field eight times a year. Whatever

167
00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 8: it is, like, there's no true advantage out side of

168
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 8: the fact that.

169
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: Your crowd is there.

170
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 8: Like that's it, And I would love to hear anybody

171
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 8: else that says differently, because there's no You can't find

172
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:10,239
Speaker 8: an excuse.

173
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: You just got beat up.

174
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 8: And the teams that are willing, that have the physical

175
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 8: ability to beat you up and have the determination to

176
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 8: be resilient and to be just unwavering in their approach

177
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 8: to expose your weaknesses, they have beat you up. And

178
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 8: that's something that you have to acknowledge. That something that

179
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 8: you have to identify and you got to find a

180
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 8: resolution for it.

181
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 7: I think if you look at three of these four

182
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 7: road losses, I'm gonna leave Philly the Philly loss out

183
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 7: of this equation just because I feel like they were

184
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 7: in that game. It's completely different. I'm looking at Arizona,

185
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 7: San Francisco and Buffalo. They didn't bring physicality to either

186
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 7: of those three games. They didn't bring discipline to either

187
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 7: of those three games. So when you're trying to figure

188
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 7: out where the road woes come from, I think you

189
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 7: have to look at those two things first. Is it

190
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 7: a home versus a way situation? You know, like, is

191
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 7: there a lot to put stock into when it comes

192
00:08:58,920 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 7: to that.

193
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 3: Probably not. I think there's some truth in that.

194
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 7: But I think there's a big difference between sleeping in

195
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 7: your own bed the night before, being able to pull

196
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 7: up to the stadium on your own accord, and having

197
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 7: having a little bit of juice, having that little bit

198
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 7: of fresh feel, and knowing in the back of your

199
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 7: head you don't have to get on a flight back

200
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 7: home after the after the game, whereas going into Buffalo,

201
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 7: you're coming off a hotel bed.

202
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 3: You're going into the stadium with your.

203
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 8: Entire before Anyways, you know what I'm saying, Like, I

204
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 8: don't know what they're doing nowadays, but.

205
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 3: This year they've been sleeping in their own bed.

206
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 7: Yes, it's been a big talking point about the home,

207
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 7: you know, home success and things like that. I don't know,

208
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 7: I think there's something to put in there. Sure did

209
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 7: it not maybe not work for the seasons that you

210
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 7: were playing, for sure, But you have to look at

211
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 7: what's different about this team. What the difference about this

212
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 7: team is they are sleeping in their own beds this year.

213
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 7: They are not bringing the physicality or the discipline on

214
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 7: the road. You have to look at those things whenever

215
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 7: you're trying to evaluate the problem, because those are the

216
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 7: only things that are different between this and times past.

217
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 8: I just think that they're getting beat up. They just

218
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 8: getting just getting beat up. I mean, people are trying

219
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 8: to the physicality. That's that's what's happening. That's you have

220
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 8: an undersized team. You're your team is undersized, that's the reality.

221
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 8: And teams that have the personnel to beat you up

222
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 8: and bully you they do.

223
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: So. The forty nine ers are more physical than you.

224
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: They beat you up.

225
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 8: Philadelphia, you went out there, you had a competitive game.

226
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 8: You lost the game. Okay, cool, Arizona caught you off guard.

227
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,479
Speaker 8: You weren't read, you didn't show up for that one. Okay, Buffalo,

228
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 8: we're bigger than you. We're bigger than you. We're more

229
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 8: physical than you. Who's the biggest guy that you have

230
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 8: on your defensive line last night versus thirty huh? Two

231
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 8: ninety versus their three sixty. The lord, the smallest guy

232
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 8: they had on their line was McGovern at what three fifteen.

233
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 8: We're bigger than you, we're bigger, we're more physical. Show

234
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 8: us that you can stop us. Forty nine ers do

235
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 8: the same exact thing. We're bigger, we're bigger, we're stronger,

236
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 8: we're more aggressive than you. Show us that you can

237
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 8: stop us. Teams that have that adrid that have that

238
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 8: personnel number one, have the attitude and and have the

239
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 8: gall to simply just punch you in your mouth.

240
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: You gotta punch back. And if you can do so,

241
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: then guess what I'm I.

242
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 8: Am literally more physical than you are, and there's nothing

243
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,719
Speaker 8: you can do about it. It's no different than if

244
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 8: I had a basketball team and I had a bunch

245
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 8: of seven footers.

246
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: You know what I'm doing. We're going post game the

247
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: whole game. We're going post game. You know why, because

248
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 1: you can't do anything about it.

249
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 3: We're not putting them no shots, Yeah, no shots, you're.

250
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 8: Six three, I'm seven foot We're going post game, right.

251
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 8: So it's it's a physicality thing. So how do you

252
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 8: address that? Well, first of all, they need to figure

253
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 8: out who the heck could come in this building and

254
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 8: start warming up.

255
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 1: As Jonathan Hankins is gone. That's number one. And I

256
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: know you talked about the edges. You're absolutely correct about

257
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: the edges. It's not just a minute.

258
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 8: They didn't play well either, but there is a gaping hole.

259
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 8: And I said it on the show on Friday. If

260
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 8: I'm the Buffalo Bills, I'm turning around and I'm handing

261
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 8: the ball off the cook and I'm coming downhill until you.

262
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: Show me that you can stop it consistently. And they

263
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: did it, So why would I change anything else.

264
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 8: It just so happens that they ran into a office

265
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 8: a coordinator that was willing to keep handing it off

266
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 8: forty nine times out of sixty four plays.

267
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 4: That's the difference. That is literally the difference, by the way,

268
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 4: just based off of weight. And this is on the

269
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 4: Cowboys official roster. This is not what they're playing at

270
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 4: right now. I can guarantee you that. But Mazzie Smith

271
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 4: is listed as the biggest player on the defensive side.

272
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 4: Three thirty seven is what he's listed as.

273
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 1: There's no way he's MASSI Mozzie might be two ninety

274
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: five right now.

275
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's maybe he's slimmed down a little bit, by

276
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 4: a little bit, I mean significantly. But then you've got Hankins, who,

277
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 4: of course was out three twenty, and then after that

278
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 4: it goes all the way down the Neville Gallimore at

279
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 4: three zero two. So yeah, you're right. I mean there

280
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 4: was a size discrepancy. I said it on Cowboys Game

281
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 4: nine last night. This was a bludgeoning in Buffalo, is

282
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 4: what it was. They continued to run the rock, they

283
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 4: continued to expose Dallas defensively in the run game, whether

284
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 4: it was inside or outside. I do agree with you

285
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 4: in the fact that it wasn't all Jonathan Hankins. He

286
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 4: played a significant factor. Him being in the middle there

287
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 4: would have completely changed things. I fully believe that because

288
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 4: it would have allowed the linebackers to play better. Dimone

289
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 4: Clark did not.

290
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: Have a good day.

291
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 4: It would have allowed for the edge rushers to possibly

292
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 4: be able to pin back and have some more success

293
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 4: getting outside, because I mean, they were double gapping everywhere.

294
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 4: And I would love to go I can't wait to

295
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 4: go back and look at the film today and really

296
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 4: see how much he was missed in the middle.

297
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 1: Because he was missed significantly.

298
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 4: But the other part about it is the offense had

299
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 4: no rhythm because the defense was playing downhill as well.

300
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 4: Just because the offense was playing downhill, James Cook was

301
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 4: playing downhill, and there was a way for them.

302
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: To be successful there. Defense did the exact same thing.

303
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 4: They weren't scared of what Dallas brought offensively, and you

304
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 4: could see that it was one of those games. And

305
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 4: you can't blame one person. You can't blame Jonathan Hankins missing.

306
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 4: You can't blame Dak Prescott. If you're blaming Dak Prescott today,

307
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 4: and I know there are some fans out there that

308
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 4: are doing so, that's a lazy take. This is coming

309
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 4: from from Isaiah's book. He calls it the book of

310
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 4: a Bonyx. Everybody got beat yesterday, Absolutely everyone had and nobody,

311
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 4: nobody did their job to a perfect extent yesterday, maybe

312
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 4: with the exception of Brian Anger and Brandon Aubrey, and

313
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 4: even that's a stretch.

314
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 8: This is the game of football, and in the game

315
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 8: of football, if you can't win the trenches, you don't

316
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 8: stand a chance.

317
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: And they got beat, you don't stand a chance.

318
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 8: This is the reason why whenever I put on my

319
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 8: GM had I would spend all my dog on money

320
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 8: on the bullies up front, and I would fill in

321
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 8: the gaps everywhere else.

322
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: Because defensively, defensively, you couldn't get.

323
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 8: Home against their offensive line, no, right, and first of all,

324
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 8: they only threw it fifteen times. Second of all, you

325
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 8: couldn't stop their run. So defensively, you were undersized, you

326
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 8: got beat up, you got bullied. Flip it on the

327
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 8: other side, Okay, their defensive line. We talked about how

328
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 8: this was going to be the most athletic defensive line

329
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 8: that Dallas has faced to date. Right, San Francisco has

330
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 8: a freaking really good defensive line. Right, So that's up,

331
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 8: that's up for argument. But these guys are right there

332
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 8: with them in terms of athleticism across the board, right

333
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 8: in terms of every guy being able to beat you

334
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 8: all the way from Olive other and on the inside

335
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 8: all the way to Leonard Floyd on the outside. We

336
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 8: didn't even talk about von Miller last week, and von

337
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 8: Miller really didn't have an impact on the game that

338
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 8: you still got to respect them, right, So these guys

339
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 8: are athletic, and everybody was getting beat up front, and

340
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 8: it killed you. When Zach Martin went down so we're

341
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 8: talking about guys going down and then your team still

342
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 8: having a confidence and a mental strength to overcome those adversities.

343
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 8: I'm not sure that Dallas has gotten to the point

344
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 8: where they can overcome major adversities and major losses in

345
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 8: the game. You're missing your big dog on the inside

346
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 8: on defense, You're missing your big dog on the inside

347
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 8: on offense.

348
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: Didn't overcome it. We've talked about that before, absolutely have.

349
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 3: And even with those two guys, it would have been

350
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 3: a blood bath in the chrenches like it would.

351
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: Still I'm talking about from this point, I'm talking about

352
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: the mental.

353
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely, and then take those two guys out and

354
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 7: that's when a mental really corts.

355
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 3: It comes to equation. But I mean, I have to

356
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 3: give it a TJ. Bass. He didn't play poorly.

357
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 7: It's just I feel like whenever Zach Martin got pulled

358
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 7: out of the game offensively, they just they did what

359
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 7: they did in Arizona or it was like, okay, everything

360
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 7: quick game, but we have to get the ball out quick.

361
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 7: And the timing wasn't there. Because a secondary for Buffalo

362
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 7: played so well last night. I mean they were on CD,

363
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 7: they were on Brandon Cooks. Those guys were not able

364
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 7: to create. It's on a separation and it threw Dack

365
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 7: out of sorts, and the offense just never found consistency

366
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 7: until that final drive. And I was kind of tracking

367
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 7: like before that final drive they were on trend to

368
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 7: have like a top ten worst total offense performance in

369
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 7: franchise history, but then that final drive kind of pushed

370
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 7: it along and got them outside of that range. But yeah,

371
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 7: it was tough, man. It's a really good team. Buffalo

372
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 7: is a really damn good team. It's they're not eight

373
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 7: and six, like they're eight and six, but they're not

374
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 7: an eight and sixteen. That's a nightmare of a team

375
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 7: to catch in the wildcard round.

376
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 4: It's going to be a shame if they do miss

377
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 4: the playoffs. And Chris Collinsworth or not Chris Collinsworth, whoever,

378
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 4: the old Greg Olsen said it yesterday and he said,

379
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 4: if they sneak in, watch out for Buffalo. I agree,

380
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 4: And we knew that going in. We talked about that

381
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 4: significantly last week. Don't look at the record, don't look

382
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 4: at seven and six. This team's not seven and six,

383
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 4: and especially when they have a run game that can

384
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 4: do that around Josh Allen. And then you have the

385
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 4: ability of Josh Allen, who we talked about all week

386
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 4: and he threw seven completions. I mean, we talked about

387
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 4: Josh Allen at nauseum last week, thinking this was going

388
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 4: to be a shootout, it was going to be him versus.

389
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: Deck and it was back and forth. That wasn't the case.

390
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 1: They took the air out of the football.

391
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 4: James Cook had an incredible day, twenty five carries a

392
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 4: buck seventy nine and then he had.

393
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 1: Forty two through the air six percent rushing.

394
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's ridiculous, most or least amount of completions in

395
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 4: a win in Josh Allen's career seven completions at.

396
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 7: Least amount of passing attempts by an opponent quarterback for

397
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 7: the Cowboys since like two thousand, I think it was.

398
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 3: It's yeah, my entire lifetime.

399
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's bad. All right.

400
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 4: When we come back here on talking Cowboys, we're going

401
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 4: to continue deep diving into the thirty one to ten loss,

402
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 4: even as painful as it may be, and we're going

403
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 4: to take a look at the offensive side.

404
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: I like what Nick you just.

405
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 4: Brought up about the changing of mentality from a play

406
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 4: calling standpoint, is this something to be concerned about moving

407
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 4: forward or is it something that could change based off

408
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 4: of the learning that you did here in week fifteen.

409
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: More Talking Cowboys continues.

410
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 9: In a moment, Todd thought it would be secure to

411
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 9: jog in the cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big cat

412
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 9: repellent he bought online was reliable, and now Todd is

413
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 9: trying to be faster than this cheetah that can run

414
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 9: eighty miles per hour. But the good news is Todd

415
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 9: has AT and T five G. It is fast, reliable,

416
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 9: and secure, and he learned the best thing to do

417
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 9: is stop running and toss her the backpack with the

418
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,479
Speaker 9: beef stew At and T five G. Faster, reliable, secure,

419
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:29,800

466
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 4: Is just a peek behind the curtain a little bit

467
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 4: some of them. Sometimes the best conversations that we have

468
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 4: are the weeks following a loss like this, because coaches

469
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 4: want want there, they want to air out their dirty

470
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 4: laundry from the week before. They want to talk about

471
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 4: something specifically. This morning, there was not a whole lot

472
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 4: of talking.

473
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 11: You know.

474
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 8: I saw coach Slari this morning. He had a pepper

475
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 8: his step and Coach Laras was walking around. He was

476
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 8: I've been around for a long he's been around for

477
00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 8: a long time, and I think he was surprising people

478
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 8: by the energy that he had, you know, because everybody's

479
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 8: kind of walking on eggs shows a little bit this

480
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 8: morning and Coach Salari comes in, he says, it gets better,

481
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 8: it gets better, it gets better than I'm like, all right, coach,

482
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 8: I see you, like, yeah, the loss sucks, and you

483
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 8: learn a lot about yourself and losses.

484
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: If you're able to acknowledge.

485
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 8: Where you were short where your shortcomings were, you learn

486
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 8: a lot about yourself, much more about yourself in losses

487
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 8: than you ever would and wins. And it's very important

488
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 8: that this team identifies this consistent weakness that they have

489
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 8: in their approach to games.

490
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 1: It is not a capability.

491
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 8: It is a willingness to be relentless and to be physical,

492
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 8: regardless of the adversities that you have in the shortcomings

493
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 8: that you have. In terms of size, some teams are

494
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 8: just going to be bigger than you. That's why I

495
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 8: do not look at a previous game from one team

496
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 8: versus another team and say, oh, we're going to do

497
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 8: this because they lost to them. Like matchups matter, Yeah,

498
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 8: matchups matter, And unfortunately Dallas size, size, and aggressiveness hasn't

499
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 8: been their theme. They can beat you a lot of

500
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 8: different ways. But if you have the personnel and you

501
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 8: have the relentlessness, relentlessness to just just bang your head

502
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 8: against the wall all day long, you're probably gonna have

503
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 8: some success, some success success against Dallas. And that's something

504
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 8: that they have to identify and you have to find

505
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 8: a way, Like how do you work around that? Like

506
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 8: not every team that you're gonna face is gonna have

507
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 8: that capability, but the teams when the teams that you

508
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,719
Speaker 8: do face that have that personnel and have that that approach,

509
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 8: you have to find a way.

510
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 3: I'm with you.

511
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 7: One good thing. Massie Smith got a sack last night.

512
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 7: It was credited to Golston whenever I left the press box,

513
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 7: So this is news to me. I'm just stop checking.

514
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 3: Wow that was that was wild? But yeah, it's it's

515
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,360
Speaker 3: it's we talked about it in the first Segment's first Way. Yeah,

516
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 3: it's his first sack of his career.

517
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 8: What do you want to see change from this past

518
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 8: week to this coming So that was kind of my

519
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 8: question was was they haven't lost back to back games

520
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 8: since week eleven and twelve back to back in the

521
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 8: same season.

522
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 4: I might add since weeks eleven and twelve of twenty

523
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 4: twenty one, so it's been a while since they've lost

524
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 4: back to back games in the same season. That means

525
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 4: back to back CRUs from this one, like you said,

526
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 4: from where this loss was and how bad it was

527
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,959
Speaker 4: on the road, and from Nick points in that first segment,

528
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 4: from your points there about learning lessons, is that number

529
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 4: one lesson learned physicality. And then my follow up immediately

530
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 4: is can you learn how to ramp up physicality in

531
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 4: the span of seven days. Yeah.

532
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 3: I don't think there's a way you can just be tough.

533
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 3: You know, you either are or not, you know, so.

534
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: Is that a problem?

535
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 3: I don't think it is, though, because we've seen this

536
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 3: team be tough.

537
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 7: I love going back to watch that Seattle game and

538
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,400
Speaker 7: parts of that Philadelphia game, because that was a team

539
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,479
Speaker 7: that came in Seattle specifically, came in and was more

540
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 7: physical than you at the very beginning, and then they

541
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 7: are able to match that and exceed that by the

542
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 7: end of the game, especially they're late in the second

543
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 7: half when they needed to put a run together to

544
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 7: win that game, and they did. So I've seen it

545
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 7: from this team before. You've seen it whenever they're dominating

546
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 7: opponents at home, and we can even look at a

547
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 7: couple of road wins like Carolina that game got sneaky

548
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 7: physical in the second half. We've seen it from this

549
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 7: team this year. I just it's it goes away sometimes

550
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 7: and it kind of feels like it's felt like for

551
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 7: the last four or five years. You can watch a

552
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 7: Cowboys game and within the first eight minutes you know

553
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 7: how it's gonna go because it's the physicality is either

554
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 7: matched or it's not. The intensity is matchless or it's not.

555
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: And it was it was.

556
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 7: It was that way yesterday, and it's gonna have to

557
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 7: be fixed before you go to Miami next week, because

558
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 7: I'll get to you because that's a really physical team

559
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 7: and it's a really fast team, and those are two

560
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 7: things that I think when you pair those things together,

561
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 7: I worry about a lot.

562
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: Yes, your next two games, Okay, let me start here.

563
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 8: Your most recent game was against the number six rushing

564
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 8: team in the league. Your next two games or against

565
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 8: the number four rushing team and the number two rushing

566
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 8: team in the league. How do you fix what is

567
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 8: apparent that you need to address right now.

568
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a huge concern.

569
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: It's a huge San Francisco's number three, Okay, you lost

570
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: to San Francisco. They beat you up.

571
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 8: Arizona is number seven. You lost to Arizona. Buffalo is

572
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 8: number six. You lost to Buffalo. Okay, So three of

573
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 8: the top seven teams you lost to so far. There's

574
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 8: two more teams that you still have to face, Miami

575
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 8: and Detroit that are in the top five.

576
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 4: So what's the highest ranked rushing team that they've beaten

577
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 4: so far? Philly and you lost to them once two?

578
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: Yes, what are they? Their number ten? So you have

579
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: not beaten a team this year inside the top ten

580
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: and rushing. I don't like that.

581
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 7: And the difference too, when you look at these next

582
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 7: two games is, yeah, James Cook was awesome last night,

583
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,360
Speaker 7: but he carried the ball twenty five times. And when

584
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 7: you look at the difference with Miami and Detroit, they

585
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 7: have two headed monsters that will be fresh, that will

586
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 7: be you know, rotating in.

587
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 3: It's gonna be it's gonna be tough. They're gonna have

588
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 3: to figure that one out.

589
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 4: Phillies number nine, Phillies number nine. Okay, so you have

590
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 4: beaten the top ten rushing attack.

591
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: That's good.

592
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 8: So of the top of the top nine teams in

593
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:33,360
Speaker 8: the league you have already played, You've already faced one, two, three,

594
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 8: four of those top nine rushing teams, you lost all

595
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 8: of them.

596
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: You still have the number two and the number four

597
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: to go.

598
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 7: Yeah, without Jonathan Hankins most likely, yes, almost certainly in Miami,

599
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 7: and then it's gonna be I think it's gonna be

600
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 7: kind of.

601
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 3: A game time thing Detroit, but or against Detroit rather so, Yeah,

602
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 3: it's it's tough. I think.

603
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 7: I think the biggest thing is, you know, you look

604
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 7: at the guys that are replacing Jonathan hank It's Mazzie Smith,

605
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 7: Neville Gallimore. And you want to ask, Yeah, those guys

606
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 7: have to step up and improve.

607
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 3: Yes, they do.

608
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 7: I need it more from de Monk Clark because I'm

609
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 7: not expecting it from those two right now, but I

610
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 7: expect it from de Moonk Clark. So De Monk Clark

611
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 7: had a very rough game yesterday, so I'm hoping that

612
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 7: he can feel running lanes a little bit better.

613
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 3: Stop guessing that.

614
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 7: That was a big thing for me, especially once it

615
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 7: got down in the red zone, that's where James Cook

616
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 7: had most of his success.

617
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 8: It felt like, So, I just think those guys at

618
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 8: the second level, including Damont Clark, anybody else, who decides

619
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 8: to walk down here, they have to be more decisive.

620
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:34,239
Speaker 1: Right.

621
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 8: Even when Van der Esh was playing, Van deer Esh

622
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 8: would choose the wrong hole relatively often. But you just

623
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 8: have to be decisive. The reason why it's important to

624
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 8: be decisive even if you choose wrong is because now

625
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 8: the players behind you know exactly where to go. So

626
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 8: if you go right, even if you choose right and

627
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 8: they go left, guess what as a safety Now, I

628
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 8: know I have to feel left.

629
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: Right, I'm playing off of you.

630
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 8: But if you're playing any you know, any menie Mighty Mo,

631
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 8: then you're trying to, you know, trying to decide on

632
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 8: what direction you want to go. Now I'm left in

633
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 8: no man's land, and now I have to hesitate right

634
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 8: because I don't know where to go. Because I'm the

635
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 8: last line of defense. The defensive line has to play

636
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 8: better because they can't allow guys up to the second

637
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 8: level is the reason why we talk about how important

638
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 8: it is to have big boys up front. Talked about

639
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 8: this many times. Up to the trade deadline, I was

640
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 8: beating against the table. I'm like, get another Hankins, get

641
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 8: another Hankins in here, because if Hankins goes down, you're screwed.

642
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 4: There were two spots we were hanging for the trade deadline.

643
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 4: It was interior defensive line up and interior off office

644
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 4: lin line.

645
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 10: Ye.

646
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 8: But the one thing that we knew was that if

647
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 8: you don't have a big boy presence up front, your

648
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 8: second level is done.

649
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: They're toast.

650
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 8: So you're talking about Damon Clark, the player that everybody

651
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 8: keeps watching, where he got hemmed up. Well, you got

652
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 8: a two hundred and forty pounds Damont Clark. You know,

653
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 8: he's built like a football player, all those things. But

654
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 8: there's a three hundred and sixty pound offensive lineman that

655
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 8: has his hands on his chest. You're not getting off

656
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 8: of that. Why is there a three hundred and sixty

657
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 8: pound office a lineman at the second level.

658
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was Dion Dawkins, but he was really at

659
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: the end.

660
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 8: Because DeMont Clark came out to the outside right he

661
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 8: came all the way on the outside left side.

662
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: He got locked up, cut up inside, and he just

663
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: couldn't get off the block. Yeah. Right, So you have

664
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: to address things in waves.

665
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 8: The d line is supposed to be the first wave,

666
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 8: the linebacker's supposed to be the second wave, and then

667
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 8: your safeties are your last line of defense, right, And

668
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 8: everybody has their roles that they have to play. Yes,

669
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 8: the second level has to play better. They have to

670
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 8: play more aggressive. They have to come downhill. They got

671
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 8: to hit their office the lineman in the mouth. They

672
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 8: got to get shed blocks right. They have to do

673
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 8: a better job of shocking and releasing because right now

674
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 8: we're seeing as a lot of guys getting caught, right,

675
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 8: and those little shoulder pads that come down. Once the

676
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 8: big guys grab on, I don't care how strong you are,

677
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 8: You're going for a ride. There's this the NFL. Once

678
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 8: those guys lock on, Andy, put those little vice grips

679
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 8: on you, you are going for a ride. That is

680
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 8: bench press range. Once you're inside my shoulders and I

681
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 8: grab you goodbye.

682
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, Yeah, it's a wrap after that, and then that

683
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 7: just keep again another physicality point yep, that's all.

684
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: This and I mean, de Monk Clark had a tough

685
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: task anywhere last night.

686
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 4: Because there wasn't just the one play where he was

687
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 4: getting pushed back by Dion Dawkins and he was getting pushed.

688
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: All the way into the goal coverage on Cook.

689
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 4: He had to play in coverage multiple times and James

690
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 4: Cook routed him up.

691
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you know it's not even that's not even

692
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: a real running a corner, right He cooked him? Yeah,

693
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: he cooked them. But that's not even a fair.

694
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 8: Matchup right right, Like that's like you have, that's an

695
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 8: unrealistic expectation.

696
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 4: I mean, linebackers in this day and age of the

697
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 4: NFL are expected to cover running backs out of the backfield,

698
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 4: not as fast as Cook.

699
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: I completely agree, I get it mismatched. There's there. I'm

700
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: not disagreeing.

701
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 4: I'm just saying from de mont Clark's standpoint, he's expected

702
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 4: to do.

703
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: That from a scheme standpoint. That's why they draft guys

704
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: like that.

705
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 4: That's why, I mean, honestly, if you go all the

706
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 4: way back to twenty twenty one, that's why they drafted

707
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 4: a guy uh like Trabrill Cox because he had coverage ability.

708
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 4: Then he got her and then that coverage ability was

709
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 4: significantly hindered because of it. So there's there's ways that

710
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 4: these linebackers are put in position that are either going

711
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 4: to put them in a spot for success or a

712
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 4: spot to fail. And it felt like last night he

713
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 4: was in a spot.

714
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: Coach Brady drew that up. He knew once they came out,

715
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: they knew.

716
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 8: He said, Hey, when we come out in this formation,

717
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 8: Dallas plays man ninety sei percent of the time. Right,

718
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 8: it's like first first in the league or second in

719
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 8: the top three I know for sure in the league

720
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 8: in terms of man coverage. So when we come out

721
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 8: in this personnel, I know, based upon this alignment that

722
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 8: Damon Clark has cooked man to man, and I know

723
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 8: that my office a line is going to give Josh

724
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 8: Allen time. That's how confident they were, so much so

725
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 8: that I'm gonna take my running back who is lined

726
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 8: up five to six yards behind the line of scrimmage

727
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 8: next to my quarterback in the shotgun, and I'm going

728
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 8: to run him on a twenty yard corner route, a

729
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 8: twenty yard corner route from the backfield, and I'm gonna

730
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 8: have time to get it there, and he's gonna have

731
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 8: time to get up on that linebacker and run right

732
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 8: by him because it is a mismatch.

733
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: They're first in dime and their first in man. That's

734
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: what it was.

735
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 8: They are you know what I'm saying, So like that

736
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 8: has to be addressed too. If we want to play

737
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 8: so much, man and man, you're not don't do it

738
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 8: this week.

739
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: If you thought cook was bad, gosh man, yeah, something.

740
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 8: I'm just saying, like, yes the moon Clark had a

741
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 8: bad night, But like some things are just unrealistic expectations

742
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 8: of players as well, and that's the reason why you

743
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 8: have to there's there's certain personnel groupings that you have

744
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 8: based upon personnel that comes in somebody something to me.

745
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 8: So many teams sit up there and they wait to

746
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 8: see who's coming into the game on a substitution for

747
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 8: the office so that they could put their guys in

748
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 8: because you want the right matchup. Putting Damon Clark inside

749
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 8: the box linebacker on a four to three running back

750
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 8: asi ye.

751
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: But just a bad idea. Eight eight eight eight five five.

752
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 4: Actually that's the phone line. We're not taking phone calls today, sorry, guys.

753
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 4: We're taking them tomorrow. Eight one seven two nine zero

754
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,480

Speaker 9: online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be

796
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 9: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per

797
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 9: But the good news is Todd has at and T

798
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 9: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

799
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,320
Speaker 9: learned the best thing to do is stop it running

800
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 9: and toss her the backpack with the beef stew at

801
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 9: and T five G. Fast, reliable, secure, It's not complicated.

814
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 4: a flood of text messages. Goodness, you guys are right

815
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,439
Speaker 4: on top of it. Eight one seven two nine zero

816
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 4: three two nine to eight real quickly you were talking

817
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 4: about about Joe Brady and scheming up against the moon Clark, yes,

818
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 4: and how he was able to put him in some

819
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 4: spots there bines the Monk Clark was or was recruited

820
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 4: by Joe Brady, right, no matter he was, I mean

821
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 4: not recruited by Joe Brady, specifically by his staff at

822
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 4: LSU at a fat time.

823
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: So they know each other very well.

824
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 4: And I mean he was putting some tough positions last night,

825
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 4: all right, from the five to nine. Why didn't Dan

826
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 4: put any bigger guys on the offensive line and move

827
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 4: Micah back to linebacker?

828
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: So, yeah, I had this question a lot. A couple

829
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: of people have sent this the same question.

830
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 8: Anybody who tweeted me. I apologize, I'm not really on

831
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 8: Twitter like that, But Michael Parsons is not a linebacker.

832
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,879
Speaker 8: I'm sorry to tell you guys, that is true. He's

833
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 8: an amazing athlete, amazing athlete, one of the best athletes

834
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 8: that you can ever imagined and touched the football field.

835
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: But he's not a linebacker.

836
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 8: Just because your an athlete doesn't mean that you can

837
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 8: do everything to the level of people who that's all

838
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:55,359
Speaker 8: they do. Michael Parsons, much like we're talking about people

839
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 8: choosing the wrong holes and hesitating and things of that nature.

840
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 8: Michael Parsons, I don't think would hesitate in terms of

841
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 8: trying to fill a gap, but it may not be

842
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 8: the right gap. Michael Parsons in coverage has not been

843
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 8: great from what we've seen. He looks like a fish

844
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 8: out of water in that space. So I would hate

845
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 8: to take your best athlete on your team and put

846
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 8: him in a position where he cannot be intentional, and

847
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 8: put him in a space where he has to hesitate

848
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 8: and question his decision making and question his abilities all

849
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 8: that stuff. Just let him do what he does. He

850
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 8: needs he needs more help, but he's not. The answer

851
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 8: is not putting him at linebacker. And you don't have

852
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 8: any bigger guys. You don't have any bigger guys to

853
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 8: put it at the defensive line position. The biggest guy

854
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 8: that you had, you have one of those guys. And

855
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 8: that's why this podcast was screaming for another one of him,

856
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 8: just because you need a backup plan.

857
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I've said this a few times. I don't

858
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 7: want to take your my best pass rusher away from what.

859
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 3: He does best. And I'm not going to do that.

860
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: Five.

861
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 7: If I'm coaching the defense, I'm not gonna pull Michael

862
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 7: Parsons away from what he does best to put him

863
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 7: in the linebacking corps, even if that linebacking corps is

864
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 7: heavily struggling.

865
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 3: I'm just not gonna do that. Not me, not this guy.

866
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 4: You know, you guys, you guys, we don't always agree,

867
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 4: we don't, we don't always agree.

868
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: But I agree with both of you.

869
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 4: That's why you got this one right. Guys, I'm right

870
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 4: good with you, But I appreciate the comment. Yeah, No,

871
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 4: I think it's a concern. I mean, I think it's

872
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,399
Speaker 4: as you're looking for answers. You're searching for answers because

873
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 4: Dallas sure as hell.

874
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: Did not have an answer yesterday. They did not defensively. Especially.

875
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 4: I think there's there's options there, but that's not an

876
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 4: option to me. I don't think that's one where you

877
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 4: can make it happen. Stanley in North Carolina says does

878
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,760
Speaker 4: Dan Quinn. He called him Daniel Quinn need to stop

879
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,479
Speaker 4: being so stubborn with man coverage and mix in zone

880
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 4: at times.

881
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 7: Nick Harris, Yeah, I think that. I think that's pretty valid.

882
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 7: But I that's not a problem that was specific to

883
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 7: this game, I don't. I don't see that as an

884
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 7: issue from last night, that the passing game. I mean,

885
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 7: it didn't even have to get tested, so I'm not

886
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 7: looking at that.

887
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, if you're playing primarily zone or I'm saying not

888
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 8: primarily if you're rolling in zone coverages, which he does,

889
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 8: but he just percentage wise plays the most man in

890
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 8: the league. If you're playing zone as a Dallas Cowboys,

891
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 8: most likely you don't have as much run support. So

892
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 8: if last night you had the most run support because

893
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 8: you were playing man, what do you think would have

894
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 8: improved in the last night's game by taking a safety

895
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 8: and moving them in and back into coverage.

896
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 3: I don't think I heard your question correctly.

897
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 8: Single high safety man coverage, yes, Dallas runs, okay, meaning

898
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 8: that you always have eight guys near the line of scrimmage. Okay,

899
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 8: eight man box, Okay, by playing more zone okay, there

900
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 8: are single high zones, but there's not many of them.

901
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: Okay.

902
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,720
Speaker 8: Majority of the zone coverages are played with two high shelves.

903
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 8: So if you take if they to answer the question,

904
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:55,879
Speaker 8: if you take one of those safeties that is down

905
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 8: near the box, near the line of scrimmage, and move

906
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 8: him back into coverage. You have less and support than

907
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:04,800
Speaker 8: you had last night, So to appease this question, you

908
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 8: would have been worse off had you played more zone.

909
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 7: Well, if we're talking split safety looks, they were forced

910
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 7: to do a lot more split safety looks last night,

911
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 7: and they came out I believe if it was right

912
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 7: off the top of my head, four of the first

913
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 7: six plays and a split safety look with Donovan Wilson

914
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 7: and one Yea Thomas not having Mollie Cooker, it kind

915
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 7: of forced them to figure out what to do with

916
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 7: the safety is there. You know, typically Mollie Cooker is

917
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 7: that single high guy that they trust up there on

918
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 7: that island. You saw Jaron Curse back there at times,

919
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 7: you saw one of you Thomas back there. At times,

920
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 7: you saw even Donovan Wilson back there. That leads me

921
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 7: to believe that there wasn't confidence in having that single

922
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 7: high look. So they were forced back into split safety

923
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 7: look and that takes one more guy out of the box.

924
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 8: But for fans out there, right, quarterbacks, if you have

925
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 8: most quarterbacks have two plays going up to the line

926
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 8: of scrimmage.

927
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:49,359
Speaker 1: All right, I come out. There's usually a pass play

928
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 1: and a run play.

929
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 8: If I come up to the line of scrimmage and

930
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 8: I see single high coverage, okay, depending on.

931
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 1: What I believe, it is most likely I'm going to

932
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: pass the ball. It's not what you want.

933
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:58,760
Speaker 8: You don't want eight guys near the line of scrimmage

934
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 8: for your six seven guys blocking, Okay. So but if

935
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 8: I come out and I see too high, even if

936
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 8: I have a pass called, most likely I'm going to

937
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,760
Speaker 8: change it to the run because there's less run support.

938
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 8: We have a greater probability of having success on a

939
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 8: running play when there's two safeties back and.

940
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: Not one of them near to line of scrimmage.

941
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 8: So, in terms of what you want to see a

942
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 8: mix in of Morris's own coverages, there's a method to

943
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 8: the madness. If you can have more guys near the

944
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 8: line of scrimmage for run support and still be able

945
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 8: to handle your responsibilities and coverage, that is the best

946
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 8: situation possible.

947
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 4: It's interesting to hear all of the different possibilities there,

948
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 4: and I think there were multiple things wrong.

949
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: We said that early everybody got beaten. There were multiple

950
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: things wrong.

951
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 4: But that's one thing that you can maybe do to

952
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 4: remedy a bit of what happened, especially whenever you play

953
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 4: against the speed of Miami coming up this upcoming week.

954
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 1: I just had to say it.

955
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:50,320
Speaker 4: Huh, he just had to say it. A couple questions

956
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 4: about the penalties. I'm going to try and merge these

957
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 4: questions together here. How big of an impact do you

958
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 4: feel like the three personal foul penalties had on the

959
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 4: overall mindset of this team?

960
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: Do you think it played? It a significant factor? I

961
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: certainly did.

962
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 7: Some just flew in my eye right as I was

963
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 7: like trying to get to that point. But yeah, absolutely, yeah,

964
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,839
Speaker 7: I know. The three touchdown drives, Uh, the three first

965
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 7: touchdown drives in the first half, the first one aided

966
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,720
Speaker 7: by the DeMarcus Lawrence roughing the passer call, which.

967
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 3: Week, Yeah, I didn't love it.

968
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 1: It was weak.

969
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 3: I didn't love it.

970
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 7: I didn't love the call, but you know it got called.

971
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 7: It was late, it was a high. It was late,

972
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 7: and it was high. So I was like, I understand

973
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 7: it to a certain point that gave them four points?

974
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 7: Is high that that gave them four points?

975
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 2: Uh?

976
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 7: Then you look at the Sam Williams of roughing the kicker,

977
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 7: roughing the punt or whatever.

978
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 3: It was a penalty.

979
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 7: That is the most Sam Williams penalty of all time.

980
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 7: I tweeted it out when it happened. That was like,

981
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 7: first off, how did he miss the block? He was

982
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 7: there by like a second second. Yeah, we broke it down,

983
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 7: So that's.

984
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 3: That's that's seven points, So that's we're looking at eleven now.

985
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 7: And then the third touchdown drive had both the fumble

986
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 7: where Marquis Bell forced it and good job by Buffalo

987
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 7: getting back up to the line realizing that no.

988
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 1: Hand cooking there. You can get a replay, didn't get

989
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 1: a look.

990
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 7: And then it also it was also aided by the

991
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 7: curse fifteen yard penalty on those second and nineteen in

992
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 7: completion that would have forced a third and nineteen was

993
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 7: also weak, I'll give you that. So that's eighteen points

994
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 7: there in the first half. That's pretty much almost entirely

995
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 7: aided by penalties. And you go to the half down

996
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 7: twenty one.

997
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 3: To thirteen, which is eighteen points.

998
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 7: So yeah, absolutely that killed the mentality I think from

999
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 7: a certain point, and when you're battling mistakes and battling

1000
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 7: shooting yourself in your own foot, then yeah, that's always

1001
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 7: going to be a tough battle to overcome when you're

1002
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 7: having to fight both the other team and yourself.

1003
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1004
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,800
Speaker 4: Final question this is from Ashley and san Diego, a

1005
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 4: loyal listener, and she asked about the offensive play calling,

1006
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:55,320
Speaker 4: and by Ashley standards said vanilla offensive play calling in

1007
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 4: the way that it happens whenever Lineman goes down. We

1008
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 4: kind of addressed that a little bit earlier. Do you

1009
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 4: feel like that's a concern moving forward, the change in

1010
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 4: mentality in the middle of a game, or is that

1011
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:10,479
Speaker 4: something that is a normal thing for a play caller

1012
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,800
Speaker 4: like Mike McCarthy to go through in the ebbs and

1013
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 4: flows of the game.

1014
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 3: All an Isaiah Star here, It's a tough question.

1015
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 8: I'm not sure that I agree that it was vanilla.

1016
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 8: I don't like the things that I didn't like from

1017
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:24,720
Speaker 8: last night's play calling.

1018
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 1: Really just go to the the swapping of running backs.

1019
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 1: I want to see more Tony power.

1020
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:38,359
Speaker 8: Tony Poller had had what thirteen touches yep on the night,

1021
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,479
Speaker 8: eleven on the ground, two I think in the air. Okay,

1022
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 8: that's you got to have more. He's you got to

1023
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 8: have more. He was just dude, was he was killing it?

1024
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 8: He had what five five and a half yard averagewe.

1025
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 3: Around there four point seven, but that's still solid.

1026
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 1: So five yard carries. I mean, you know, like give

1027
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,320
Speaker 1: him the rock. So I think you need more of that.

1028
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 8: I think the situation of the game, the game management

1029
00:44:58,120 --> 00:44:59,359
Speaker 8: took you out of some of the things you wanted

1030
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 8: to do, but I think that you could have still

1031
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 8: continued to strike them with your running game. Dak miss throws,

1032
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 8: Dak miss some throws. Yeah, I mean that's reality as well.

1033
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 8: He wasn't perfect, but he did not have a good day.

1034
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 8: That's back to back not great days for games for Dak.

1035
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 8: The last week wasn't great, but you were able to

1036
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 8: handle some business otherwise, and then this week was just

1037
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 8: not was in a good situation. So that's something he

1038
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 8: is gonna have to go back and look at himself

1039
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 8: in the mirror as well.

1040
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's unfortunate.

1041
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 7: I think the MVP campaign kind of died yesterday with

1042
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 7: this loss, but nevertheless, it was still a great year

1043
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 7: so far. Talking about the play calling, yeah, I think

1044
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 7: there's a lot of truth in it being especially when

1045
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 7: Zach Martin went down. I mean I talked about it

1046
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 7: in the first segment. I feel like when Zach Martin

1047
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 7: went down, everything got simplistic again, and they ran back.

1048
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 3: To the problems that they had back in Arizona.

1049
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 7: It just kind of the offense felt almost exactly how

1050
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 7: it did in that second half against Arizona. Yeah, that

1051
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 7: was the first thing it reminded me of. It wasn't

1052
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 7: as bad as San Francisco because San Francisco it was

1053
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:53,959
Speaker 7: just they were forced.

1054
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:55,800
Speaker 3: You just got that point. Yeah, that was just that

1055
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 3: was completely different. But like if you're.

1056
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 7: Ranking how bad it was, from like a one to

1057
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 7: ten scale, one being the worst, ten being the best,

1058
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 7: like San Francisco was one, this is a two, so

1059
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 7: and I'd put you know, Arizona second half in that

1060
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:08,399
Speaker 7: two range as well.

1061
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you mentioned the m VP conversation.

1062
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 4: I think if if Dak balls out and they win

1063
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 4: these final three games and he goes on just a

1064
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 4: tangent and somehow you win the division, I still think

1065
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 4: it's a live But man, I agree, And if you

1066
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:27,760
Speaker 4: have Philly win tonight against Seattle.

1067
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 1: You can go ahead and kiss the Seattle go by,

1068
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:30,919
Speaker 1: I hope.

1069
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 7: So well, even if phillyp beats Seattle tonight, if the

1070
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:37,240
Speaker 7: Giants beat Philadelphia one of those two times, the Cowboys

1071
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 7: are leading the division.

1072
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not gonna happen.

1073
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 3: I'm saying. I'm just saying, I love your positives.

1074
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: Your your positivity.

1075
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:49,280
Speaker 7: I'm Seattle not as daunting as it seems.

1076
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 3: It's not as Dante.

1077
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 8: Seattle will win in Seattle tonight and Seattle krack and

1078
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 8: will win tonight.

1079
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 1: Against the Stars. Yeah, there's no way on that one.

1080
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 1: That's the one tonight.

1081
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:00,080
Speaker 4: I have far more confidence in the Dallas Stars to

1082
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,879
Speaker 4: get it done tonight. You crazy, mean, yeah, far more,

1083
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 4: far more.

1084
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 1: All right, that does it for us here on talking Cowboys.

1085
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,879
Speaker 1: It's okay, fellas, We're good. We okay, guys at all

1086
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 1: We fine?

1087
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,320
Speaker 7: I wrote I wrote on five Takes last night the headline,

1088
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 7: believe it or not, the sky is not falling.

1089
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 1: This guy's not falling.

1090
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 3: Look, there's a lot that can still be worked on.

1091
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: There's a lot about the Truman Show.

1092
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 3: Got three more we not chicken little, you know.
