00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: It is Monday, December twenty third, twenty nineteen, Season fifteen,

8
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: episode number one oh five. Welcome to another edition of

9
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 1: The Break. We are live from the s WBC Mortgage Studios.

10
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: At the start, we're talking about the Cowboys lost yesterday.

11
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: They lose to the Eagle seventeen to nine, and man,

12
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: do we have so many opinions, so many thoughts on

13
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: this game. We got a lot to discuss. Let's jump

14
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: right in, and because there were so many storylines, literally,

15
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 1: there were a ton of storylines coming out of this game,

16
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: I'd like to go around the table and initially start

17
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: the conversation by giving each of you an opportunity to

18
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: have somewhat of an opening statement just about what your

19
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: general thoughts are of this team coming off of that

20
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: loss to the Eagles in Philadelphia. We'll start with you, Nick,

21
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: thank you, and before you say anything, take a deep

22
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: breath and then go. Man. So many places as a start,

23
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: they they're just they're just not They're obviously not a

24
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: good team. I mean, we've seen that for a while,

25
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: and they showed us last week that they can, you know,

26
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: have a good moment, but you know when when it

27
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: was really time, Like I've said all along, I'm just

28
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: gonna stick with the same theme, they don't. They're not clutch,

29
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: and they're not clutching the plays, and they're not clutch

30
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: in the in the moment to go and just take it.

31
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: They've got the hats in the shirts in a box

32
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: under the tables down there. Just go open the box,

33
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: just go do what you gotta do. But they don't.

34
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: They don't because they're really they're not a good team,

35
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: and they're I don't think they're well coached. And their

36
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: toughness was questioned and they lost. They're not they weren't

37
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: tough yesterday. I don't think in both aspects of being tough.

38
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: All right, eber Well, I don't really know where to start.

39
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 1: I think one of the things that really bothers me

40
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: is when we come in here in this show and

41
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: talk about things throughout the season. Clearly, if we were

42
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: talking about it, they should know about it, like they

43
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: should be watching the same game and seeing the same things. So,

44
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: for example, when it comes to Amari Cooper, and I

45
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: know we'll get into depth about him and all that,

46
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: but you know, we talked about him not being good

47
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: on the road, and they should know that. Not that

48
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: they should be preparing for a guy that's supposed to

49
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: be your best white receiver, but you should be aware

50
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: of things like that dacked shoulder. Okay, how do you

51
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: create different plays to help in scenarios like this where

52
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper just doesn't show up in a game, so

53
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: little things like that. It's amazing to see how they

54
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: were able to run the ball last week and then

55
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: this week it was just absolutely on present. And to me,

56
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: it's all about preparation and how do you come up

57
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: with different game plan and different things to do in

58
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: different situations. I just don't get it. But it's all

59
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: about coaching. Yes, the players have a lot to do

60
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: with what happened yesterday, but at the same time, you

61
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: as a coach, you know what you're dealing with, and

62
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: she'd be prepared to attack it, Dave. This is only

63
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: my seventh season covering the team, so my perspective is limited.

64
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: But I've learned a lot about the Cowboys, you know,

65
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: from before my time just working here. I feel like

66
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: I have a good grasp on franchise history in general.

67
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: And this is just the most disappointing Cowboys team in

68
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: recent memory, and certainly among the most disappointing of all time. Um,

69
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: this is this is what I keep going back to.

70
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: It's like twenty seventeen, injuries and legal drama and suspensions

71
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: got in the way. Twenty fifteen you lost your two

72
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: best players. Basically for the year two thousand and eight,

73
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: guys were in and out of trouble and headlines and

74
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: you know all you know, gun charges and legal drama.

75
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: What was the drama with this team? Like what got

76
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: in the way they couldn't play? Yeah, exactly, there's there's nothing.

77
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: There was nothing hindering this team all year long, Like

78
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: nobody was there. Like as far as the NFL teams go,

79
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: like one little drama and they got rid of him Tacoma,

80
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: then they Taco's your biggest drama. You're doing all right?

81
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: And that was the one. Yeah, if Layton vander esh

82
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 1: is your biggest injury. Look at the Philadelphia Eagles. I

83
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: promise you they got lucky in terms of who was

84
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: available for them this year, and none of it mattered.

85
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: Like Tip I always say, like this team's success gets

86
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: in its own way. There's nothing in their way this

87
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,239
Speaker 1: year other than they could not string together good football games.

88
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: And I mean they have to take a hard look

89
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: in the mirror because like there's no outside factor that

90
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: got in their way. They just are a very talented

91
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: football team that is bad and that's frustrating and disappointing.

92
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: This I can't disagree more about that. They're not very talented.

93
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: They're not very talented because they have four Pro bowlers

94
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: that didn't and they're not Pro bowlers. I mean, Travis

95
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: Frederick is not a Pro Bowler. He's going, but he's

96
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: not a Pro Bowler. I mean, they're just not a

97
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: talented team. They're not talented, and they're not tough. The

98
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: one thing I will maybe they're not tough, and I

99
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: can kind of agree with you on that. Where I

100
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: would go different on the talented part is by and large,

101
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: most of these guys were here last year when they

102
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: had a pretty successful season by all accounts, right, So

103
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: there was some talent involved in being able to do that.

104
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: They're one year farther into it with more experience. So

105
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: the expectation was what you saw last year from the

106
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: talent level should have been a little bit better this year.

107
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: And so you're absolutely all talent means is do you

108
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: have the ability or how good is your ability to

109
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: be able to do your job? And I think that

110
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: they are. There are a number of guys on this

111
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: team that if you go player by player, position by position,

112
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: and you're talking about them in context of players around

113
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: the league that do their job, I think you could

114
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: say a vast number of them are considered to be

115
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: talented enough to be up there with the top ten

116
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: guys at their position, top five guys at their position. Right,

117
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: So from that standpoint, I'll give you a good example,

118
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: and I think this will crystallize what you're saying. And

119
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to this guy, but Amari Cooper. I

120
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: don't think any of us disagrees that MARII Cooper has talent.

121
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: Then I start getting to the part where you talk

122
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: about where does he have toughness? Does he have that

123
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: mental thing that makes him just go for it like that.

124
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: That's just he's all in. You know. That's the part

125
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: where you have either you got a great point, like

126
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: they just don't seem to have enough of those guys.

127
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: And that's and I'm completely agree for the most part.

128
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: And I think that's been the season long conversation, like

129
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: they're not good, but I don't know how you can

130
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: argue that they're not talented, Like Amari Cooper is a

131
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: talented player, DeMarcus Lawrence is a talented players. Even if

132
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: they haven't played up to their standard. There are so

133
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: many teams that would want this offensive line. They did

134
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: not play well, and you can chalk that up to

135
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,679
Speaker 1: toughness of the physical and mental variety. You can chalk

136
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: that up to chemistry, because it sure doesn't seem like

137
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: this team has any, which is weird because that's always

138
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: been like a calling card of the Jason Garrett era.

139
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: This doesn't feel like a cohesive team at all, and

140
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: I feel like that's why they're seven and eight right now.

141
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: But four thousand yard passer, a thousand yard rusher, two

142
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: thousand yard receivers, first time the Cowboys have had two

143
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: wide receivers hit a thousand yards in a season since

144
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: two thousand and six. That screams talent to me. It's

145
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: just not translating to good football. Yep, that's just my opinion.

146
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: Then talent is an overrated word. Then it's like stats,

147
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: I mean all this time. That's why it's the ultimate

148
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: team game, right. You can have the most talented team

149
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: in the world and it's not going to always bail

150
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: you out, especially in the NFL. And it's the same

151
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: thing as the Cowboys right now being the number one

152
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: offense in the league. We know if you've watched the games,

153
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: they're not the number one, but but according to that statistic,

154
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: yeah they are. And so that's where I think it's

155
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: You're right, Talent doesn't really mean a lot at the

156
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: end of the day if you can't assemble it in

157
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: a way to where it actually works together. But game,

158
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: that's what makes this so baffling and frustrating. I just

159
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: I think they have the pieces to be a good

160
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 1: football team. And it's not even that they're not good.

161
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: They're actively bad. Yeah, that's a good way to put it. Actively.

162
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's a difference between not good

163
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: and bad. They're bad. Let's let's go ahead. When talking,

164
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: I mean these these pieces, these pieces to win and

165
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: stuff like that. We need to talk about that and

166
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: see how many of those pieces are really going to

167
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: be back. Yeah, well, let's let's do this. That's not

168
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: today's show. But let's go ahead and take our first break.

169
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: That's probably not today's show. But I do think from

170
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: the context of how they played yesterday, I do want

171
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: to talk about some of these pieces. I want to

172
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: talk about the running back. I want to talk about

173
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: the wide receiver or a few of the wide receivers.

174
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the quarterbatting. And then we

175
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: got to get to what happened on the offensive line

176
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: and what happened on the defense, because I think there

177
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: were some interesting things that happened throughout this game that

178
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: does make you question, you know, what's going to happen

179
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: with the future of this team and with the future

180
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: of some of these individual players. We'll do that when

181
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: we come right back. This is Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.

Speaker 1: and uh and all of the above. All right, so

224
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: let's get back to this talk. Um. I want to

225
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: dive into some of the individual parts of this game,

226
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: particularly from the player standpoint. Let's start first with the

227
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: running back. Yesterday, Zeke gets thirteen carriages forty seven yards

228
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: or three point six average. Coming off a game last

229
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: week where you got two one hundred yard rushers and

230
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: by the way, Polot this week got two carriages for

231
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: zero yards, and let's throw in a fumble for good measure.

232
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: But coming off a game like what they had last week,

233
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 1: what was the difference this week? Because arguably they played

234
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: a tougher defensive front. Last week, you could argue that

235
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: they were at least as good as this defensive front,

236
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: what was the difference? I think the Rams do what

237
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: they do, and they that's the scheme that they play,

238
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 1: and if you can get you a hat on a

239
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: hat and run the ball and have some success, then

240
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 1: it opens up everything else. I think the Eagles went

241
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: into the game saying, you know what, that's not practicing

242
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 1: all week. He hasn't, so let's make him beat us,

243
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: and we're gonna load it up. And you know, and

244
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: I still think you could run more than what you did,

245
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: But I think that they made it more of an

246
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: effort to try to stop the run and force the

247
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: Cowboys because they know the Cowboys are going to do that,

248
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: gonna just kind of take what they what they get,

249
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: and then you know, whoever's on the field or regardless,

250
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, I like this matchup. I see Schultz

251
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: out there. He's called two passes this year, but I

252
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: like it and I'm gonna throw it to him, you

253
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: know what I mean. They just do what they do. Yeah,

254
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: I think. I mean, the Eagles clearly made an effort

255
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: and it's funny, like sounds dumb to say, but like,

256
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I'm not sure the Cowboys played it

257
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: the wrong way. Like there were plays to be made

258
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: in the passing game. That was We talked about that

259
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: last week. Like they're not a good secondary, they're banged up.

260
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,599
Speaker 1: They give up a lot of yards and points outside.

261
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: And the plays were there, weren't they. I Mean, Gallop

262
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: drops a long ball, Dak overshoots Tavon on a long ball,

263
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: Cooper drops, Cooper drops one, Gallop drops in a crossing route,

264
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: that Wit drops a wide open pass. How about Um,

265
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 1: I know I'm forgetting a big one. Oh the it

266
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: was like a comeback. Dak clearly overshot Cooper, but Cooper

267
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: like the most half assed effort you've ever seen to

268
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: go up and get it one. Yeah, the player, the

269
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 1: plays were there to be made. Dak was bad, and

270
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: so were literally all of the receivers and tight ends

271
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: for that matter. Throw them in there too. So I

272
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: like you can sit here and say, like, well, Zeke

273
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: is the ninety million dollars back, like feed him, feed him,

274
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: which I appreciate that they're not just going to bash

275
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: their head into a brick wall if they don't have to,

276
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: but make a play, make a play in the passing game.

277
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: And like, I know Dak's shoulder probably hurt, and I

278
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: know Amari's got nineteen different ailments at this point in

279
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: the season, but neither one of them. Cooper wasn't even

280
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: on the injury report on Friday, and Dak was designated

281
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: as like there was no doubt. He's a full go.

282
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: He's fine, and so I have to take him at

283
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: his word, and I expect you to play better than

284
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: that if you are worth the payday that you're heading for. Yeah,

285
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: he actually is. He in my opinion, played like he practiced,

286
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: which he didn't practice, and you could tell in the

287
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: game that he wasn't sharp. He went twenty five or

288
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: forty f or fifty seven percent completion, two hundred and

289
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: sixty five yards, zero touchdown, zero interceptions, is seventy four

290
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: point five rating. At this point, are you looking at

291
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: Dak differently from the standpoint of the contract than you

292
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: did is say, even four or five weeks ago. Yes,

293
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: in what way? He's not worth the money he's so

294
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: what do you do? I'd pay him in the money

295
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: of fift top fifteen, top fifteen to twenty quarterback because

296
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: that's what he's been. You know, you can you can

297
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: say all you want to about the yards. Yards don't

298
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: mean anything. I mean he's about he could break Tony

299
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: Romo's franchise record of forty nine hundred yards and they

300
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: went eight and eighth that year. In twenty twelve, Winston's

301
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: got yards quarterback rating, I think he's like twelve thirteen touchdowns.

302
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: He's right in there, and then the record is seven

303
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: and eight. So he hasn't done anything to make me

304
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: think that he is in the elite status of quarterbacks.

305
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: And so, but quarterbacks get paid. I mean, they still

306
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: get paid. So I think whatever Stafford Derek Carr's money,

307
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, I think that's where needs to

308
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: be you pay a member. I just I don't know

309
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: the whole thing. It's so difficult for me to make

310
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: a full evaluation of him, just because I have a

311
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: lot of questions about the coaching and it makes me wonder,

312
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: really with the better could he be better with a

313
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: better coach, if he is trained better and put in

314
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: better situations in the game. I just don't quite know,

315
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: And it's frustrating because this is his fourth year here

316
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: and I feel like I still don't really know where

317
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: Dad could get to because he's been under the same coaching.

318
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: We saw some improvement with John Kinnett coming in here,

319
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: and to me, he has improved tremendously this year, but

320
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: it hasn't been enough so that it's a difficult one

321
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: for me. Am I willing to offer him a long

322
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: term deal. I think as of right now, I would

323
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: want to put him under the franchise tag for a

324
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: year and see how that goes with a different coach.

325
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 1: You agree, Dave, It's tough because honestly, I feel like

326
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: the whole body of work is worth him being the

327
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: quarterback of this team in the long term. Like I

328
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: don't buy like he's not bad. He's not bad. Quarterback.

329
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: He's good, but it's totally fair, like he hasn't lifted

330
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: this team, like he has not played like a quarterback

331
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: who can overcome all of all of the problems surrounding him,

332
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: much like Carson Wentz did yesterday. And like Wins, he's

333
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: not the diaper. Yes, Wins wasn't even amazing yesterday. He

334
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: just made the plays that were available to right. But

335
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: sometimes that's what it takes. And you know you mentioned Romo.

336
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: It's it's kind of fitting in a way. It's like, guys,

337
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 1: let dack down yesterday, like a lot of guys did,

338
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: but does anybody care. Nobody cares make the plays like

339
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: pick your team up, win the game, and they're probably

340
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: not going to make the playoffs now because he wasn't

341
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: good enough and it's not just his fault, but again,

342
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,959
Speaker 1: nobody cares. He's the quarterback, and so I think the

343
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: full body of work is worth a payday. But fast

344
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: forward to a month and we're back at the negotiating

345
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: table and it's like, well, Dak wants to be paid

346
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: here and the Cowboys are here. It's hard for me

347
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: to say, well, the Cowboys should just meet his demands,

348
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: Like where is his proof that he's worth playing hardball

349
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: where he's like I want thirty seven or I'm sorry,

350
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: that's what I want. Like why should the Cowboys have

351
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: to capitulate to that? Like where's the proof that that's

352
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: worth it? But I also hate the idea of like

353
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: a franchise tags. I hate that. Everything you said I

354
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: agreed with about his development and all that, and maybe

355
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: a new coach and all that, but I don't know

356
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: about the franchise tag because I think I gotta I

357
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: think I gotta give that to MARII. The only reason

358
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 1: I have to give that to him is because he

359
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 1: is my first round pick from last year. So if

360
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: you if you start losing first round picks, they already

361
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: lost one in the Taco, they're gonna feel They're gonna

362
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: start to feel it here, you know, So you're gonna

363
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: lose that. And I think I would try with maybe

364
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: with the coaches, to have one more year and all that,

365
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: but like, because as of right now, I mean, maybe

366
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: it's just because of last night. I mean I think

367
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: the Cowboys need to seriously think about not having Cooper.

368
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: Let me, let's table that for just a second, because

369
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 1: I want to finish the conversation Dak and I, because

370
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: that's it is, it is playing. And I will say this,

371
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 1: I actually agree with Amber from the standpoint in the

372
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: franchise tag because the amount of money that you have

373
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: to commit to a quarterback, I actually would want to

374
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: see one more year and I'd like to see one

375
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: more year with a different voice in his head, right,

376
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: with a different game plan, with a different with different schemes,

377
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: see if maybe you can get him. Because because I

378
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: do agree, there have been some things we've seen this

379
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: year that suggests he is a better quarterback than he

380
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: was last year, and then he was a better quarterback

381
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: than he was the year before. Like every year, I

382
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: think he's gotten a bit better than he was before.

383
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: I would love to see one more year before I

384
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: have to commit big money to him, commit big money

385
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: to him. Right, So I do want to have that

386
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: conversation on the wide receiver, and you're right, the two

387
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: do kind of they kind of intermingle. But I kind

388
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: of like the idea of getting another year to be

389
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: able to see a little bit more about Dak before

390
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: I make a big book. What kind of year are

391
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 1: you getting? And I say this because how many second

392
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: half comebacks has he had this year? Zero? He has

393
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: not brought his team back, and lord knows he's had

394
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: chances to bring them back. So Klutch put it on

395
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,360
Speaker 1: da like everybody else. But he's been that before. Though,

396
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: he's been that before. So that's why I say year

397
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 1: that before. But what But how many press conferences did

398
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: he have this year where he talked about contract especially

399
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: early on in the year. Almost every one you want

400
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: to do this again? Do we want to do this again?

401
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 1: Where now he's making twenty eight million a year on

402
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: the tag or whatever it is, and he's playing every

403
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: throw is playing for this payday. If you if we

404
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: think that all this stuff is like, yeah, he's got it,

405
00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: let's give him a new coach and all that, then

406
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: pay pay him. He didn't deserve top five money, but

407
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: he's he can be up there and and get it

408
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: out of the way. But you're saying that like like

409
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: he doesn't have a choice. I don't know that he's

410
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 1: signing a deal. This got him, you know, paid like

411
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 1: a thirteen fourteen ter back. Maybe he should go somewhere else.

412
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 1: He can't do that. No, you can't, app can't lose

413
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 1: him right now. He can't do that. Right, but he's

414
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: gonna show stalemate, right, Yeah, but he's gonna show up

415
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: at some place and be like, where's the Pro Bowl

416
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: alightement Oh you got one? Oh you've made a Pro Bowl?

417
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: But now you're thirty eight? Okay, who's my back? But

418
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: the point but that's a great point. But the point is,

419
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: though he still does, he still has to at some point,

420
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: they gotta if they're gonna low ball, and there I

421
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: shouldn't even say lowball. If they're gonna keep him around

422
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: that thirteen fifteen range, they still got to give that

423
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: offered him, and he's got to decide if he says

424
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: I don't want it, they're not gonna just let him walk.

425
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: So they gotta franchise him at that point. And that's

426
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: why I think that ends up being an option. I

427
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: don't say this to sound and passive aggressive. I legitimately

428
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: mean that. Somebody said this to me last night on Twitter,

429
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: and I was like, I actually I want to know

430
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: this guy was like, don't resign Dak and let Cooper walk.

431
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: And I was like, in all sincerity, what's your long

432
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: term vision for this team if you're doing both of

433
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 1: those things? Because even if you're franchising Dak. You need

434
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 1: to be thinking about drafting his replacement. Maybe not in

435
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: the first round, but like you got to be building.

436
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: I despise the idea of tagging Dak doing nothing at quarterback,

437
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: and I'd be like, well, maybe this year will be different,

438
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: and then next year is very similar, and you're like, well,

439
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: we wasted a year of his career. We still have

440
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: to pay him this contract or let him walk, and

441
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: we haven't done anything about the future. So I think

442
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 1: I'm with Nick, And that's kind of my point is

443
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: I'm not convincing. I'm not trying to convince you. You You

444
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 1: have to be in love with what Dak has done,

445
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: but you might as well sign him. And again, like

446
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: nothing has changed in the sense of like Mahomes is

447
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: still coming, some of these other young quarterbacks are still coming.

448
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,239
Speaker 1: Like he'll be a bargain quickly, and maybe you just

449
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: pull the trigger on it and get it out of

450
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: the way, rather than keep spinning your wheels saying like, well,

451
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: we're not going to commit to him, but we're not

452
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: going to do anything about the future of the quarterback position.

453
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: But the part that gives me pause on that though,

454
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: is I've seen some improvement. But I've also seen this.

455
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 1: To me, it seems like a trend this year where

456
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: they've been more than a few games where he's just,

457
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, just off. And so it becomes a

458
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: question of do I think that he can ever get

459
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: to a point where his accuracy is good enough to

460
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: where it's worth paying him, where he can be my guy,

461
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: where he can be my Russell Wilson, where I say,

462
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: and I can let all these other guys kind of

463
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: walk and I can fill in the pieces because my

464
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: quarter quarterback is good enough to be that diaper that

465
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: Nick talks about. I don't know that right, So to me,

466
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: give me another year to maybe see that, because if

467
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: you don't see it by next year, the likelihood of

468
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: him becoming that at some point is probably relatively small.

469
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: But what are you, like, what are you gonna learn?

470
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 1: Because I assume you can't predict anything to a certainty,

471
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: But like the cast of characters is going to be similar,

472
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: like I would maybe maybe not, I would assume Amaria

473
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: will be here, Seeks not going anywhere, or like the

474
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: offensive line will still be here. So it's still gonna

475
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: question about whether Cobb will be here and gall will

476
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: still be here. But Gallup's a good piece. Right, So

477
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: maybe Cobb isn't here, Maybe you replace that with a

478
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 1: young guy that you draft who is a more dynamic

479
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: player in the slot that can catch more frequently. But

480
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: right is a good piece for being the number two receiver. Right.

481
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 1: But you know, but Ma's gonna be your next year.

482
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: You just said he was your first round pick. Lass.

483
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 1: I mean you gotta bring him back. You got it

484
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: only as a franchise thing. I'm not paying him because

485
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: here's the thing. You can change out your receiver, change

486
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: out your quarterback, change everything out. It doesn't matter, none

487
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: of the new coach, nothing matters if you don't have

488
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: it inside you on fourth and eight to say, hell no,

489
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: I'm on the field, not like okay, I'm out. Somebody else,

490
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 1: come in. I just ran a go route. Now I'm tired.

491
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: It's fourth and eight. The game, slash season is on

492
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: the line. You can't tell me Jerry Rice, Michael Irvin

493
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 1: and Chris Carter in those guys ever did that. Okay,

494
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: that's crap. That is absolute crap. And him and Cob

495
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 1: both and Jason Garrett should have called a time out,

496
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 1: should have called it time out and put it. Let's

497
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: bring it back to the micro because we really haven't

498
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: gotten into what a cluster that fourth quarter was. And

499
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 1: that's exactly I'm gonna We're gonna take a break when

500
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: we come back. I want to talk about that, but

501
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 1: I want to talk about that in the context of

502
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: this whole team, because they're not the only two to

503
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: do that. No. Last week we saw the exact same

504
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: thing happened to the defensive line. This has been something

505
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: that's been going on with this team for a while.

506
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a break, We're gonna come back, We're

507
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: gonna talk about that. This is Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio. Ready, Okay? Yes? Oh?

508
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: Are we gonna win? Just okaying is not okay whether

509
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,720

538
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: Welcome back. It is the final segment of The Break

539
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: Laugh in s WBC Mortar Studios at the Star, we

540
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: were talking about the Cowboys loss seventeen to nine Philadelphia Eagles.

541
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: At this point, they are no longer in control of

542
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: their own destiny. The Eagles win this weekend. The Eagles

543
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: represent the nfcast in the playoffs. If they lose and

544
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 1: the Cowboys should win, then the Cowboys came back into

545
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: the playoffs. We'll see how that goes. But all all

546
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: that being said, like everything was righting from them, is

547
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 1: Nick said in the first segment of the show, and

548
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: they just basically didn't go get it. Find me a

549
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys fan who isn't related to a coacher player who

550
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: wants them to make it. At this point, that's the

551
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 1: overwhelming reaction that I'm getting from fans is they're just like,

552
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 1: let it be over. Well, fast forward to Sunday and

553
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: then find me one that isn't I think. I think

554
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: that's done. Honestly, I really do. I don't think so.

555
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 1: If I mean obviously don't think, then then they're not

556
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: a real real die hard fan, because I think the

557
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: die hard fans would want your team to make it

558
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. They sure not after this year? Where

559
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: were you going with it? They sure as heck don't

560
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: want the Eagles to do it? Right, you know, differ

561
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: nothing else, just not the Eagles. That doesn't think that.

562
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean that they think that the Cowboys would

563
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: go far in the playoffs. It's just and if you

564
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: were there last night and saw what I saw, like,

565
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: you just don't like the Eagles, Like, it's just you

566
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: just don't. You just don't like the Eagle. So if

567
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: for nothing other, for no other reason, then the Eagles

568
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: go sit at home and then you just kind of

569
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: go in and what happens in the player world, Bratt

570
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: little kid that's sitting there that doesn't like his toys

571
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: and all that until the other little kid comes over

572
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: and you know, and then he starts playing with him.

573
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: It's like wh whoa, whoa, whoa, those are my toys?

574
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: No link, yeah that's mine. So yeah, I don't want to.

575
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: I don't want this at all. Then the Eagle, the

576
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: Eagles are going in the playoffs. They're like, nah, if

577
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: that like, we're in. So let's go back to that

578
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: conversation we were having just before the break. We were

579
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: talking about Amari Cooper, Um, you get to fourth down

580
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: Cowboys season on the brink, fourth and eighth, fourth and eighth,

581
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: both Cooper and cob both on the sideline. Um. I

582
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: mentioned before the break last week it was late and

583
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: I think it is last week. They were late in

584
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: the game, and uh, the defense was on the field

585
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: and Michael Bennett they called a time out, right, and

586
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: uh and Schogar game and Michael Bennett is on the field.

587
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: But you got Tank off the field, you got Quinn

588
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: off the field, and Bennett is literally saying, no, y'all

589
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: need to get onto the field because this is a

590
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: critical down. And just all of that just makes me thinking.

591
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: And they asked Jason Garrett about it last night and

592
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: the postgame presser, and he was like, well, you know,

593
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: that was just the rotation. You know, we we rotate

594
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: those guys because you know, we got so much going

595
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: on a lot of plays we're running so rotting those guys,

596
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: and he just happened that they were off the field.

597
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: My problem with that is just that I feel like

598
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: the player does have some saying that. I also think

599
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: the coaches are being a little too. I don't know

600
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: if naive is the right word, but to think that

601
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: we could just send Ventral Bryant, Ventrel Brian, whatever his

602
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: name is, onto the field instead of Amari Cooper when

603
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: it's fourth and eight to keep the season going, like

604
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: to me, just something about that, because if not, then

605
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: go ahead and pay Briant the money, right, why do

606
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,479
Speaker 1: you need to pay Cooper? You know, right? I mean,

607
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 1: it just doesn't. The whole thing doesn't make sense. Next

608
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: man up. You know, Jason's got a lot of saying.

609
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: Some of them are, okay, next man up is dumb.

610
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: It's dumb. It's dumb, and it's a lie. It's a lie.

611
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: It's not next man up. You can't do that. It's not.

612
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: It's not. If you did that, then rotate your quarterback,

613
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: which might have been a good idea the way he

614
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: was throwing some passes. I'm just saying, you don't do that.

615
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: So it's not it's not the next man up. It's

616
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: not and it needs you need to call a time out.

617
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: And Dave and I talked about this before. If you're

618
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: not calling your timeout and you're saving him, you're telling

619
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: everyone that you're gonna fail because we need these because

620
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: we're not gonna get this, so we're gonna fail. Why

621
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: don't you just call time out and tell your offensive coordinator,

622
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: who was called a very bad game to that point,

623
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,959
Speaker 1: to figure out what the best play is and the

624
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: best guys on the field, Get them all some gatorade

625
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: and let them go and run a route where we

626
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: can do and if they don't, if it doesn't happen,

627
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: then it doesn't happen this season. Right here. Make a play,

628
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: Make a play, Make a freaking play. Yeah, that's just

629
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: I put that on the coach. But I hate that

630
00:31:58,120 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: you have to put it on the coach too. I

631
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: put it on the coach. You know. It's like it's

632
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: more blamed. Look, it's more the coaches that made the

633
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: decision that they were going to rotate that and not say, oh,

634
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: this is a critical situation. I need you back in,

635
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: or the player that's willing to come off the field

636
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: when the rotation says they should come off the field,

637
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: even though it's a big moment. Maybe the players are

638
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: checked out by this point. I mean, yeah, But at

639
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: the same time, it's like, you know, I have mixed opinion,

640
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: because yes, I do agree that Cooper should have been

641
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: on the field at that specific time, but at the

642
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: same time, it makes me wonder. I'm like, Okay, he

643
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: only caught four passes out of twelve. Clearly he wasn't

644
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: having a good day. They're needing to get someone out

645
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: there who can catch a ball, and you know, I'm

646
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: just again, I'm not saying I agree, but at the

647
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: same time, I can kind of understand why you maybe

648
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: want to switch it up somehow. And I'm not saying

649
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: Bryant is a better player than Cooper, obviously, but since

650
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: he wasn't having a good game at all, I mean,

651
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: why not try something else. That's what you try, though,

652
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: in my opinion, in the third quarter, in the fourth quarter,

653
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: do or die, I'm giving the guy that I'm considering

654
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: paying a ton of money every opportunity to save me

655
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: from myself, Like, this game has not been good for you,

656
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: this game has not been good for our team. I

657
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: want to give my best players the opportunity to make

658
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: a play to win this ball game. It's hard. It's

659
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: hard to get it's hard to get to the bottom

660
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: of these things, like in season when everybody's still kind

661
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: of rowing in the same direction. But it just feels

662
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: like there's an accountability issue on this team, and like

663
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: that's a perfect encapsulation of it. Is like we just

664
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: talked about it. They're on the twenty three yard line,

665
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: Amari runs a go. He comes out. He walked right

666
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: past us. We're down there to shoot our postgame videos.

667
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure he was tired, like he wasn't rushing to

668
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: get oxygen on the sideline. He just kind of goes

669
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: to the sideline. And I can imagine the conversation where

670
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett's like, where's nineteen. They're like, oh, he came out,

671
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: And then Garrett's probably like rolling his eyes, like Okay,

672
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: we'll put get Tavon out there. Fine, whatever, We'll do

673
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: what we gotta do. And it's like player checks himself out,

674
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: which is bad, but coaches don't call him on it.

675
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: But which is all He checked himself out? Or was

676
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: that what he was told? This is our rotation after

677
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: next number of plays. If come, yeah, we put our

678
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: other guys. I don't care how bad of a game

679
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: he played, Like, shouldn't your best players be on the

680
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: field in do or die time? That's and that's the point.

681
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:24,959
Speaker 1: But it sounded like from what Garrett was saying after

682
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 1: the game, that was just their normal operation when they

683
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: get into that part of game, they're rotating their guys,

684
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: and it was his time to be off. The feel

685
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: I don't buy that crap. I don't something that you

686
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: just say, Yeah, that's just something that he just said

687
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: it in a nice way to put it out. Oh

688
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: maybe that's he didn't like calling out and Mary Cooper

689
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: and he just said, Oh, that's just how we rotate

690
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: our guys. That's kind of That's kind of My point

691
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: is like right now, it's hard to get to the

692
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: bottom of that because you're gonna get company line. You

693
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: can still make the playoffs. But but but Maria didn't give

694
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 1: the company line. Mari said, I'm coaches pulled me out

695
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: of the game, and he's asked, were you tired? No,

696
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: I'm talking I'm talking about coaches and front office and

697
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: all that type of stuff. I think it's not gonna

698
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: be like next week, but it could be at the

699
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: owner's meetings or the combine. But like we're gonna hear

700
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,800
Speaker 1: stuff in the coming months about, you know, not everybody

701
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: was bought in. There was conflicting messages like the you know,

702
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: some guys they know who they are, weren't really given

703
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: it there all, and like that. I'm always not trying

704
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: to finger point at anybody in particular, but can't you

705
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: just kind of feel that that's the case. He said

706
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 1: in the locker room Amari Cooper, I forgot what he

707
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: said exactly, but he was talking about, Oh, I feel

708
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: like maybe we should have run this type of play.

709
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: What was he said? He said, based off the go

710
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: ball was the route to run tonight. They didn't take advantage,

711
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: he says, they didn't take advantage of how they could

712
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: have taken advantage of that secondary the routes that they

713
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: were running with, routes that those those defensive backs can

714
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: cover pretty well. He said, the deep ball was the ball.

715
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 1: Say something, you know, I mean, say something. Stop playing

716
00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: chess all day in the locker room and get up

717
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: and talk to sound j Law and figure out the

718
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,919
Speaker 1: right play. Like I think when she said something about

719
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 1: checked out, I think he's checked out. Any of those

720
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 1: guys that were checked out need to be out. They

721
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: need to be out. I mean, I mean, yeah, you're

722
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: head coach. You're taking a lot of the starters out

723
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: because a lot of them to dynamite this thing, take

724
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: out the whole team out. Wow, So we're gonna go

725
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: from all the way from starting seas where we thought

726
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,879
Speaker 1: to just like blow the whole thing up. I don't

727
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think we're there. I know

728
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: everybody's probably I want my wide receiver to I don't

729
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: care what. There's not a coach out there that's like,

730
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: you're out. You're out. You ran seventeen yards a year out,

731
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 1: this is the play of the season, but you're out.

732
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: I think I think Jarwin can do what you're supposed

733
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: to do or Witten can do No. No. In fact

734
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: that they went to twelfth personnel, I mean that that

735
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: in itself was like, why why would you do that

736
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: in this situation? Jason said, it was the look they

737
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: wanted all they that's all they have though, is sure,

738
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 1: twelve personnel, But who else? Vintel Bryant, that's I have

739
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: any other receivers? Right? So, but but you saying both

740
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 1: Cobb and Cooper just pull themselves out. They walked to

741
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,720
Speaker 1: the sideline like you would do in the second quarter

742
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: because they're a little wind But it's different. But I

743
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: get that. I'm saying though, I think that, and it

744
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: sounds maybe I'm getting this wrong, but it sounds like

745
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: you guys are putting less of this on the fact

746
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: that the coaches. This is kind of the way that

747
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 1: they do things. This is their operation. Yes, it should

748
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: have been different, And I'm the first one to say,

749
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: if you're ja Jason Witten, there's no way we saw

750
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: him for fifteen years that we saw How many times

751
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: did we see Martellis runner on the field and he

752
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: ran right back off the field because Jason was like happening. Yeah.

753
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: So so my point is, so my point is that

754
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: those guys definitely if they if they understood the gravity

755
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: of the situation, they could have stayed in the game.

756
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: And they especially Mark, he could have stayed in the game.

757
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: My point, though, is I still have to give some

758
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 1: culpability to the coaches because it sounds like this was

759
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: their normal operation. I honestly, I don't think much of

760
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: this coaching staff. I think I've made that abundantly clear

761
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: over time. But I've seen the Cowboys drive to tie

762
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 1: and win like a lot of games, and I could

763
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: be wrong, but I can't remember a time where they

764
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: were driving in a situation like that fourth quarter down eight.

765
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: Ventel Bryant and Tavon Austin were their wide receivers. It

766
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: wasn't even just Coop, it was both of those guys.

767
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 1: And I some Eagles fans were yelling at me because

768
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: I tweeted it. I was like, that's who's in the

769
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: game when you're driving to save your season, and they

770
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: were like, big whoop the Eagles. You know, we've got

771
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: all these injuries, like you just got to deal with.

772
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's not the point, because there aren't any injuries, right.

773
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 1: That is who they are willingly putting on the field

774
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: with the season on the line. And to me, it

775
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: almost makes me want to exonerate the coaches because, like,

776
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,800
Speaker 1: I don't think they're that dumb to do that because

777
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 1: we've never seen him do that before. But your starters

778
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 1: are always in the game when that game was on

779
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: the position. Well, that's not actually true because I know

780
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: for many years, Nick, you and I have talked about

781
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: this for many years, there would be those kinds of

782
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 1: situations and DeMarcus where it would be standing on the

783
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: sideline like rotating their normal rotation. It's like, why is

784
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: DeMarcus not on the field. I know, like this has

785
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 1: been happening throughout Garrett's career. It's two minute it's two

786
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: minute drill, and you want your guys to be fresh.

787
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: I guess I get that. But Fintel Bryant has one

788
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 1: catch this year. I agree, No, I don't. I don't

789
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: buy it. And it is a touchdown. I mean there's plenty,

790
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 1: it's precedence, it's saying it's fifty fifty. But I just

791
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: there is there is a disconnect within this team between

792
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:40,359
Speaker 1: like the messaging and the what you know what I'm

793
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 1: trying to say, like, there is a disconnect. It's mainly

794
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 1: I think it's been on defense this year, but it

795
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 1: bled over into the offense last night, at least from

796
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 1: my outsider's perspective. And I just think in the coming

797
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 1: weeks and months, you're going to hear people kind of

798
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 1: be willing to get our detail about it. I think

799
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: last night, if you listen closely to Tank after the game,

800
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: Amar after the game, Zeke after the game, I think

801
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: they all said little things that make your thoughts start

802
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 1: to question how they're viewing. Is because DeMarcus. One thing

803
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: DeMarcus said that stuck out to me, he was like, well,

804
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: you know they were. He was asking about why there

805
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: wasn't enough pass rush. He was like, you just gotta

806
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:18,800
Speaker 1: go watch the film. You'll see there's a lot of

807
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: balls coming out real quick. And my first thought was,

808
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,879
Speaker 1: if you're if the issue is that the balls coming

809
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:28,320
Speaker 1: out real quick, then is there not something that's happening

810
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 1: on the back end where the ball is able to

811
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: come out real quick? And Nick, you and I talked

812
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: about this, the cushion that they give these receivers, both

813
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: from the linebacker sandboy, from the safety standpoint, even from

814
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 1: the corners. At times it is third and five and

815
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 1: they are off the ball seven yards, right. It's like,

816
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 1: I do believe that maybe maybe you're starting to hear

817
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 1: some of that from the players, like hey, there's some

818
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 1: schematic things that we're doing that are not helping our

819
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: pass rush. Right, That's when I heard when he said that.

820
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: But I think those those kinds of statements that were

821
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: helping happening throughout the locker room last night. That point

822
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: too a little more than that's than than just what

823
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: you see on the same I mean, and if you

824
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: go back and watch it. I mean, the only reason

825
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 1: the Cowboys had a chance to stay in the game

826
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: was because of Doug Peterson. Yeah, he's got a Super

827
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: Bowl Trophy. Congratulations. He coached a terrible game yesterday. He

828
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: was terrible. That is true. He's almost really bad. I mean,

829
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys still couldn't take it, take advantage of it. But

830
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 1: I mean he did some really bonehead type decisions about

831
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: the fifty five yard field that was one of it.

832
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: Third and one and fourth and one, and they're they're

833
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:32,800
Speaker 1: down there, they're driving and then then they'll all of

834
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 1: a sudden they just started throwing the ball. I mean,

835
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 1: but they I don't know. Nobody wanted to run on

836
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: third and one yesterday. I mean, well, Cowboys wanted to

837
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 1: run on third and one. They just wanted to pitch

838
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 1: it to Tony Pollo. Have I guess the play for

839
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 1: Zeke we're on set on the Actually this is when

840
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: when Zeke called out of the out of the game

841
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: after he had a play and then the fallow I

842
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 1: think it was a following play when came in on

843
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: third and one, yeah, I'm sorry. Pollard came in on

844
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 1: second and two and got one yard and third and

845
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: one he got the pitch. Okay, I thought we had it.

846
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 1: But anyway, we were all talking about Zeke because we're

847
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: talking about whether Zeke pulled himself out at a time

848
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 1: when you need him in the game. It's third, you know,

849
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,359
Speaker 1: second and two, whatever it was you're driving, you need

850
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: him to be in the game. Um, and you said

851
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 1: that there was it looked like he kind of got

852
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: banged up a little bit and that's why he called out.

853
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,319
Speaker 1: But either way, it just seems like to me, there's

854
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 1: not enough. I think the word you guys use early

855
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: was accountability. You know, it just seems like everybody's not

856
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 1: on the same page, and everybody certainly doesn't have the

857
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 1: same level of urgency that you should have had in

858
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: a game like that where the division is on the line,

859
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: you have every opportunity to just take control of it,

860
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,360
Speaker 1: win the division, and take yourselves in the playoffs. Cowboys

861
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: just were not able to do it. You're gonna well

862
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: it's equivalent at this point. But like you know, people

863
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 1: dogging Tony Pollard for the fumble, which, like I mean,

864
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: don't fumble in that situation. But that play called hasn't

865
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,800
Speaker 1: worked all year. And it was also like the first

866
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:06,879
Speaker 1: significant moment of Tony Pollard's game two hours into it. Yeah,

867
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: and it's it's beyond frustrating that as well as he

868
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: played last week and as well as he's played at

869
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 1: times this year, that it took Zeke getting hurt. I

870
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:17,280
Speaker 1: mean he said he took a blow to the helmet.

871
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: It took him getting hurt in a crucial situation. And

872
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 1: they were like, okay, let's run this bizarre play as

873
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 1: our first look at Tony Pollard tonight. There's the play there.

874
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: It was, it went there, It wasn't. It's it just

875
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 1: all around f like coaching playing Christmas is gonna go

876
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 1: come up? Kai for Bath played really well, that's what

877
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: I was shown. Really well Kai for Bath had and

878
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: he went three or three which goals? I get Dak

879
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: checked to this play at the line is this thought,

880
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 1: Oh no, that wasn't the option my bed un. That's

881
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 1: one Zeke goes, somebody lands on and that's fine. So

882
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 1: he didn't take himself out because he didn't want to

883
00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:59,399
Speaker 1: want the ball on third and one. Yeah, and that's

884
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 1: got hurt yeah, don't. That's how people saw it they

885
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: I mean, how many how many third and fourth and

886
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:06,839
Speaker 1: shorts have they run that option play? I know they

887
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 1: did it against the Jets and it failed. I know

888
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: they've done it two or three other times. Why are

889
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:13,720
Speaker 1: you still trying to make that happen in this moment

890
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: with a guy who hadn't touched the ball yet all night.

891
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: But you open up a whole head cannon worms when

892
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: you start talking about the play call, because you go

893
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 1: back doing the Rams game and there was a ton

894
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:24,839
Speaker 1: more creativity and what they were doing, the stuff they

895
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: were doing with Tavon and moving him into the backfield,

896
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: like there was just a whole different level of creativity

897
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 1: in that game than this game. You talk about this game,

898
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:33,879
Speaker 1: there was none of that, no Jets sweep, nothing that

899
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:35,879
Speaker 1: was out of the ordinary. It was all the same

900
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: stuff that you'd normally do. Which to go back to

901
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: Cooper's comment about not running the go ball like they

902
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: coached conservatively on the road, it's been a trend all year. Yeah,

903
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 1: it might be the reason when they played conservative. I mean,

904
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,279
Speaker 1: think about it. I think Dak is afraid to throw

905
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 1: the ball sometimes down down the field and those you know,

906
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 1: tight tight coverage. I mean I think when it when

907
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:57,359
Speaker 1: it really comes down to it, I think he likes

908
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 1: to throw it deep and out of bounds. And you

909
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,719
