9
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: the Star breaking it down, guys, and it's always it's rare,

10
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 1: actually in the last several years that the Cowboys have

11
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: a game left to play and we know what their

12
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: fate is. So this is gonna be a little bit

13
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: of a different show. We're gonna break down the game

14
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: and we can also we can also go big picture

15
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: here what's next for this team as well, although we

16
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: have plenty of time to talk about that. Yeah, like

17
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: nine whole months, yeah least a few, Yeah, a little

18
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: ways to go. That's a good I hadn't thought about.

19
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: That's two years in a row that we head into

20
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: week seventeen without a whole lot of you know, in

21
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: the way of drama. At least last year was obviously

22
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: good this year or not so much. I mean, if

23
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: you go back to twenty fifteen, four and twelve, yeah,

24
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: not a good season. Twenty ten when Jason Garrett took

25
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: over his interim coach, you knew you were out of it.

26
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: But other than that, just about every year you go

27
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 1: into Week seventeen thinking there's something to play for still

28
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: and they found out by losing Nate it's over. Yeah,

29
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 1: it's it's definitely over. Man. When I looked at this game,

30
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: Manu and me and brought us talk, you know, we

31
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: talked during the shows that we do together, and I'm

32
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: saying and I never doubt it kJ Wright and Bobby

33
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: Wagner being bad. I never doubted that. I never doubted

34
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: been it. But I did know their mental makeup was

35
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: not right. This was a game that if the Cowboys

36
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: was just came in execute it, dude, with ahead to do,

37
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: and I turned the ball over that this was a

38
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: game to be had because we and I'm not a mathematician,

39
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: but eleven penaltist for one hundred and forty two and

40
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: your total offensive output is one hundred and thirty six

41
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: and the only thing that beat us with some bad

42
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: play calling and some and three turnovers. We should It's

43
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: no way in the world we shouldn't be sitting up

44
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: in him joking and having funds about talking about Bowl

45
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,119
Speaker 1: games instead of Yeah, where were sitting at Part nine? Unbelievable,

46
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 1: go ahead, hard to win that way, I'm Brian, Yeah,

47
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: I think you wasted a tremendous defensive effort. I think

48
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: going into the game, the one thing and even though

49
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: my gut feeling I picked Seattle to win and I

50
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: felt like they were gonna win because of Russell Wilson,

51
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: it's why. And you know it really wasn't Russell Wilson.

52
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: He made the one big run on a third and

53
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: nine for ten yards that you know, I thought, Man,

54
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna see more that they didn't have a downfield

55
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: passing game. We knew they couldn't run the football. They

56
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: didn't do a very good job of protecting him. I

57
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: thought that Rod Marinelli in that group played as well

58
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: as they can play against that type of quarterback. But

59
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: for them not to get rewarded for that type of

60
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 1: effort offensively, the strength of this team all year long

61
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: we thought was the offense, and it really isn't. It

62
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: isn't the strength. I mean, maybe it's a year when

63
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: we go back and look at this and have that

64
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: reflective show where we misevaluated a lot of guys we misevaluated,

65
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: you know, And I think that if you look at

66
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: this though, was the quarterback exposed during the six games

67
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: where Ezekiel Elliott wasn't playing. That's into something I think

68
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: we need to look at itself. I'm not trying to

69
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: throw Dak under the bus, but I'm just saying for

70
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: some of the things that you needed to do. I'm

71
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: the one guy came on this show and talked about

72
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: Scott Linahan will benefit by having Ezekiel l a back. Boy,

73
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: was I wrong about that? He really was? Well, Scott Lillihan,

74
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: I mean and that and that. No, I'm just saying

75
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: that that to me, you've got to find a way

76
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: to use him to open up other things. And I

77
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: didn't feel like that they had a good enough game

78
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: plan offensively. Now give Seattle some credit for the front

79
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: they have, you know, for the line boxers they have. Yeah,

80
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: they create turnovers, the punch out, all that stuff. But

81
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: you know, overall though Seattle did the right thing. They

82
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: knew that Dallas's offense was so inept that they even

83
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: ran the ball on third down at times just to

84
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: get off the field. They weren't. They weren't, and they

85
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 1: were like, Okay, yeah, we'll play defense today because they're

86
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: not doing anything that'st us. It was not an overly

87
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: aggressive game plan by the Seattle and that's we went

88
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: into it. You know, I wasn't surprised that they lost,

89
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: but if I was surprised by what it looked like

90
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: because you mentioned it. Russell Wilson really had one drive

91
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,239
Speaker 1: where he looked like Russell Wilson. He's seventy something yards,

92
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: scrambled for scrambled for ten when he needed nine. I

93
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 1: think he went four or five for thirty five yards

94
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: and a touchdown, and he drew a big pass interference

95
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: to put him down in the red zone. Other than that,

96
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: I mean, that wasn't that wasn't up to his snuff.

97
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: He ran for twenty nine yards and through for ninety three.

98
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: I mean, if you tell me that's his stat line,

99
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: I assume the Cowboys are gonna win somewhat comfortably. You know.

100
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: The amazing thing about it is, you know, a man,

101
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: And like I said, you know, we've been brought us

102
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: going back and forth between all but you know the

103
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: bad words I was using during the game, and he

104
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: said they wanted to keep it close because of Russell Wilson.

105
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: I'm saying, yeah, I'm great witch, and because they believed

106
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: in their mind, if they overthin seven with two minutes left,

107
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: either way defensively or offensively, they could make the play. Yeah.

108
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: That's a veteran savvy team, a coach that knows this team,

109
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: and they're like, we're not gonna try to make no

110
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: great plays. We're just gonna run it. We're gonna're gonna

111
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: play it by the book. You know, you hear guys,

112
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: let's played this by the book. They played this game

113
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: raped by the book and let us fall apart. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

114
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: Zeke kept saying it after the game. We beat ourselves.

115
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: We referenced, I think David reference earlier, the three turnovers,

116
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: one pick six for Dak So really Seattle gets fourteen points.

117
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: That's all the defense allowed in this game. So that's it.

118
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: That's like Brian said, that's a wasted defensive effort. But

119
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: I don't think you're wrong and saying I think all

120
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: of us felt like Zeke coming back off suspension in

121
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: this game was gonna kind of restore things off posively

122
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: the way the offense functions. Didn't it look like the

123
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: defense did it looked like it was going to in

124
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: the first quarter or something. Yeah, absolutely, I never I

125
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: What happened was three and then again three and then

126
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: a punch out. Yeah. You know, uh you you you've

127
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: played I don't know how many weeks without Zeke and

128
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: will ze Yeah, and I'm talking about Dad. You played

129
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: and you would calm. Now Zeke get back and you

130
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: lose it for some reason. Yeah, you got to keep

131
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: the same calmness because now you'd went out of character

132
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: and it hurts you. Yeah, because wow, you know what,

133
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: you know what and maybe this is a whole other

134
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: thing for a whole other time. But now he opened

135
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: himself up, in my opinion, for the consideration of like, okay,

136
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: what do we need to do with his contract? What

137
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: do we And I know and I know it's not

138
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: just now. I mean I shouldn't say it as that

139
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: just that one game, but now you're in now you're

140
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: in a state where you're going, Okay, it's twenty some

141
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: odd straight games without a hundred yards. You know, it's

142
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: I've said this a couple of times on Twitter, even

143
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: as recently as like Sunday morning. I'm you know, I'm

144
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: sitting there like his receiver really that big of a

145
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: problem for this team, Like these guys can get back

146
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: on track, you know. The funny joke is like, there's

147
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: no way all of them forgot how to play in

148
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: the span of like five months, you know, because i

149
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: mean even they had good training camps. All of them

150
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: did right. Um, And then you see this and you're like,

151
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: how do you defend it? Especially? I mean the twelve

152
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: million dollar elephant in the room is you put a

153
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: game like that on tape and that's the last real

154
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: impression you're gonna make this Eagles game, isn't you know?

155
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: It's not a sure meaningful game, so that the lasting

156
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: impression for the year. Of course, people are going to

157
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: talk about. No, he you know, if you look at

158
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: the big picture like Rob was talking about, and you

159
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: evaluate the whole team, that's a position you're absolutely going

160
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: to have to evaluate and you're gonna and as you

161
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: said it, the elephant in the room is that, Okay,

162
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: this guy has paid this to do what And if

163
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: you're not doing what you're supposed to do, then you've

164
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: opened yourself up to that. You know, you open yourself

165
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: up to that, to that that that scrutiny. And you know,

166
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of guys on this team

167
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: that have opened themselves up to scrutiny, which you know,

168
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: and you briefly mentioned the quarterback, and I mean Dak

169
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: Prescott did not play well. No, not at all. No,

170
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: he had a he had a bad you know, I tried,

171
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: I beg and I told everybody when that kid got

172
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: hit the second time against Atlanta, I said, don't do

173
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: this to him. Yeah, that's the first thing hit in

174
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: my mind, I said, because the thing that I called

175
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: Zeke the MVP every time we get on this show,

176
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: because he covered up all of my man's deficiencies. Yeah,

177
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: of being a young quarterback. I'm not saying what he

178
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: won't be in a year from now, but I'm saying

179
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: what happens to most young quarterbacks absence of a run game. Well,

180
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: and that's I guess that's the point I was gonna make.

181
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: Is I just you know, looking around Twitter, looking around

182
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: the different places where you can talk about the Cowboys.

183
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: There's a lot of criticism of Dak Prescott and he

184
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: didn't have he didn't play a good game, and it

185
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: hasn't been a season that was up to the level

186
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: of expectation. But the second year player too. This game

187
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: is a fantastic microcosm of just how bad everybody's been.

188
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: I mean, the pick six is arguably the worst throw

189
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 1: of Dak's young career. Arguably just up there, just missed

190
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: him right trying to dump it off, and just had

191
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: arguably two open men in front of him and Jason

192
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: witch right, so and so the reason I bring that

193
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: up is I'm not trying to absolve Dak of blame.

194
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: But his receiver gets stripped on his first reception of

195
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: the game, his twelve million dollars receiver, let's maybe a

196
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: poorly thrown ball, but still hit both of his hands,

197
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: bounce off for a red zone interception. Um his his

198
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 1: offensive line doesn't do a great job of protecting him,

199
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: His running back doesn't do a great job of protecting

200
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: his offensive coordinator gave him no healthy offensive coordinate like this.

201
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: You know, to sit here and try to pin this

202
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: cluster on one person is a mistake in Maya. But

203
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: it isn't that kind of where this team goes. Isn't

204
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: it where all year long? It's hard to pin it

205
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: on one guy. I think there are some games the losses.

206
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: Do you say, well, Garrett took the blame for the

207
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: lost in Atlanta. There are some games that coaches didn't

208
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: do that very good job. There are some games where

209
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: it's easier than others Atlanta for instance, and then there

210
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: are others where just everything falls. I mean, they looked

211
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: at they looked at the Charger game and said, we

212
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: got to do something the secondary. We can't give up

213
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: a five hundred yard passing game anymore. Yeah, it's funny

214
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: you said that. My father in law and Christmas yesterday

215
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: was talking to me about the Cowboys and the way

216
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: he described it as a fan was whack a mole

217
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: and trying to determine what's wrong with this team. It

218
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: hasn't been just one thing every year, every every week.

219
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: It's been like you said, they they made efforts to

220
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: change up the lineup in the secondary. That helped. With

221
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: Scander getting hurt too, they lost some experience there. But

222
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: those guys have been playing well at times. But like

223
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: Dave said, sometimes it's the receivers, sometimes the offensive line.

224
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: I think you've got to point out the offensive line.

225
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 1: Oh sure, especially you know during that three game losing

226
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: streak when Tyrone was out, he last one series in

227
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: the game with the spring knee, Nate and Byron Bell

228
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: comes in there. Da, It's not all on him, but

229
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: Dak winds up getting sacked four times in this game.

230
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: He was under a lot of duress, you know. And

231
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 1: you know, and uh, I got to tell people, you know,

232
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: I used to fight this hard. You know. I ain't

233
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: talking about the draft until but I totally believe this

234
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: right here and and everybody got their pick. Oh my

235
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: pick is what guy you can find in the draft

236
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: that can come in here and contribute to this team

237
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: in a meaningful way. I don't care what position is it.

238
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: We don't need a kicker, Yeah, we got a kicker.

239
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: We don't need a partner. We got a punt it,

240
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: we got a long snapper. But every other position is

241
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: wide open in my in my book, I mean that

242
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 1: can come in and play and impact this team. Because

243
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: one thing has been proven over the last eight years

244
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: that we cannot absorb one suspension or one injury. We

245
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: can't we can't absorb that one player leaves and it's

246
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: just mass destruction. That's that's disheartened. As a as a fan,

247
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,079
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, we lost one guy. We get this guy,

248
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: but we lost this guy. Now we can't play like

249
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: a game of jinga almost or like a house of cards.

250
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: It is it is, And you know, there's as Nate said,

251
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: there's there's multiple areas they can fix. Yeah, going forward

252
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: to Jerry actually spoke to that on the fan this

253
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: morning specifically about the offense that we've got to look

254
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: at ways to maximize the skills of Dak Prescott, Zeke,

255
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: our receivers. They still feel the strength of this team's

256
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 1: the offensive line. We have a cut of it. Huh

257
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: do we have a cut of Jerry saying that. I

258
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: don't know if we do, but the day after Christmas, Nate,

259
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: We're only gonna know so much. Okay, Well, you know,

260
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: man brought his work, you know, But I think that

261
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: when when that that's where Jerry, I think that's Jerry's

262
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: way of saying, Scott Linahan, why didn't you run the

263
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: ball in the one yard line? Well, he actually said

264
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: that earlier in the segment. Yeah, that he you know,

265
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: and he says, look, I second guess a lot of things.

266
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: He thought they should have gone forward around the goal

267
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: line in Oakland, he was right by the way. Yeah,

268
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: but you know that was his feeling. To your point, Brian,

269
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: about this game the other night, is that pound? It

270
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 1: was Zeke. He's the guy that was getting five yards

271
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: a pop for you earlier in the game. See. This

272
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: is where I think the frustration level of the owner

273
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: was that he was excited to have Zeke back, and

274
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: he was excited to like think, okay, and Dave, you

275
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: sat there over my shoulder all week long. I remember

276
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: I kept turning around saying, wait, look at Jacksonville running

277
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: in here. Oh, look at the Rams running in here.

278
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: Brian likes to mutter his notes to himself while he

279
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: watches tape. Yeah, I kept seeing on the one two

280
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: yard line teams running the football in and I just

281
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: cannot believe. I think the direct quote was, well, these

282
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: guys do not want to stop you on the goal line.

283
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: They don't. They don't, and that's the problem I had,

284
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: you know, And yeah, I like to if you're gonna lose,

285
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna lose it all you know, you're your best player. Yeah,

286
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: that's that. And Nate made that point in our post

287
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: game show. He's like, how could you not hand the

288
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: ball to him? How can you not do that? And

289
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: to me, that's where that's where sometimes and I've been

290
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: accused of this or not accused, I say it all

291
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: the time. Coaches take turn to the trainer, take give

292
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: me the two stupid pills and a cup of gaate

293
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: or aid and let's go. You know, I've never called

294
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: a third down defense. I've never called players. But you

295
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: know what, I always tried to find my guys players

296
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: that could help the coach. And every time I mean,

297
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: they found a player that can successfully get the ball

298
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: in the end zone, why not use him in that situation. See,

299
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: that's where I that's where I have a problem with

300
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: this well, and that's probably Brian. That's probably the hottest

301
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: topic coming out of this game. Decision around the goal line,

302
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: just real quick, just to reset it. Yeah, first in

303
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: goal from the three yard line after the Winton pass. Yeah,

304
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: you're down twenty one twelve midway through the fourth quarter. Yeah,

305
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: they have an RPO run pass option with Dak and

306
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: you can argue that Dak made the right read in

307
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: terms of the way the front looked right. Did they score?

308
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: They didn't score. Mate. Now, the question that fans and

309
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: observers are saying, Nate is do you take it out

310
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: of your quarterbacks hands and say let's just run the foot?

311
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: Who was your best player, Zeke? See that's what And

312
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: we've seen the RPO backfire a couple different times. Nate

313
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: feels a type of way about this. We feel. We

314
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: saw the RPO struggle at opening day against the Giants.

315
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: We saw the art. This same sequence happened against the Giants. Yeah,

316
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: and then the RPO failed against the Packers where you

317
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: should have run the ball and kept the clock going,

318
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: where they threw the fade to death. I understand in

319
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: the in and oh my god, if you if you

320
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: have somebody other than Ezekiel Elliott running the ball, I

321
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: understand the RPOs. I do I get it. I would

322
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: even and I'm not trying to defend it. Please God,

323
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: don't think I am. But it's it's worked. It's at

324
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: times this year throws to Beasley, throws to Witton, But

325
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: you did, but that's without that's six games a lot.

326
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: It's worked this year. But without Ezekiel in the lineup?

327
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: Am I right about that? I want to say they

328
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: did it against Green Bay when Zeke was there, and

329
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: then the Chiefs for that matter, They've done it in

330
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: games where he was there because he's a hell of

331
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: a he's a hell of a bait. This No, he

332
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: is a bit. But the problem, the problem is the

333
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: problem is though you didn't need to be cute. And

334
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: that's that's that's where I fall on it. This is

335
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: a game, this is a game where you weren't going

336
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: to have a whole hell of a lot of opportunities.

337
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: You've got to score right there. You cannot. If I

338
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: would rather go down, I would rather die. Yeah, I

339
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 1: would die handing the ball to my best guy. And

340
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: again I would trying to make fifty fifty throws. I'm

341
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: I'm not interested in defending it. I think maybe maybe

342
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: I defended a little harder. If it's the first quarter,

343
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: if it's a scoreless game, but you're down two possessions

344
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: and in crunch time, do you need that touchdown? Keep

345
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: it simple? Stup? Yeah, you know, Nate, I don't have

346
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: the audio for you, but when we come back, I'll

347
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: read you The quote from Jerry Jones about that faithful drive,

348
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 1: the end of the drive in the fourth quarter, with

349
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: the Cowboys trailing twenty one twelve, the ultimately lose and

350
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: are knocked out of playoff contention. When we come back

Speaker 1: twelve the Seattle knocking them out of the playoffs. All right, Nate,

405
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: I got your quote for you, okay, Jerry Jones about

406
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 1: that drive near the goal line. Fourth quarter, Cowboys drive

407
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 1: in inside the three yard line. He says, yes, hindsight,

408
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 1: he would have run the football with Zeke. He said, quote,

409
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: I think those are our best opportunities in those short

410
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: yardage situations, even though they've got their lines stacked. I

411
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: think those are our best opportunities to use what we

412
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: do best. Our strength is our offensive line. We've got

413
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: Dak in there. Our strength is to make short yardage plays.

414
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: Zeke is probably the best in short short yardage weapon

415
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: we've had in many, many years around here. End quote.

416
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: I was on the fan this morning, so run the

417
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 1: damn ball pretty much. That's on the head coach though, too.

418
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: Head coach has the ability to click over and say, Scott,

419
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: what he got? What are we doing here? I'm thinking

420
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 1: about going sprint right, No, Scott, we need to run

421
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: the ball here. Let's come on, let's pound it in

422
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 1: there a couple of times, see we got let's go.

423
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: You know, that's on the head coach. I understand that

424
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett likes to let you know, Scott linahand called plays.

425
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: I get that, you know, don't don't always be an

426
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: observer there and and may hey, you know what Maybe

427
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: I might be totally wrong about this. Maybe he clicked

428
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 1: over and said, hey, run the ball and Scott talked

429
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: him out of it. I don't know that, but I

430
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: do know the head coach has to manage the game

431
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: and he and that's a responsibility. There. You're seeing how

432
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 1: your defense, you're you have got to feel like if

433
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: you're if you're if you're Jason Garrett, if you get

434
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: a touchdown there, you can get a stop and get

435
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: the ball back and maybe score again. They've been playing. Yeah. Absolutely,

436
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: the way the defense held held up in that game.

437
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes I always give Garrett, I get on him about

438
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: this because he doesn't know the condition of his team.

439
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: He should have seen the condition of his defense was

440
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: in a good in a good way. It's a good

441
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 1: point like we Yeah, you can talk about Green Bay

442
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: where you need to be. You need to see that

443
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: your defense. Defense can't get a stop at the end

444
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,239
Speaker 1: of the day. They were up to yesterday, there were

445
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: Sunday they were That's what I'm saying. It is a

446
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 1: head coach. You've got to walk over to the OC

447
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: or click over and say hey, we need a touchdown now.

448
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 1: Civil civil question. You know, if they were to kick

449
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: from the three yard line. How how far would that

450
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: field goal would have been? Twenty yards? Twenty yards? You

451
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: had twenty one yards? What was the miss or yeah?

452
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: Yeah if yeah, for you had a thirty four one

453
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: and a forty eight both. Because Brides was saying, hey, Nate,

454
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 1: you hey, they still miss the field goal. I said, well, Bridess,

455
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: now you're kicking the field goal extra fourteen fifteen yards. Yeah,

456
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: I mean that that could have been a difference. Man,

457
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 1: if you'd just say, hey, man, we ain't running the ball,

458
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: let's just kick this field goal and we'll truck go

459
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: for on side, right. I mean, it's just it's just

460
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: too many scenarios that favors the Cowboys taking a chance

461
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: and dominating this game and taking them just too many

462
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: chance as they had. We the coach likes to talk

463
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: about putting players in players in positions to make plays.

464
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,959
Speaker 1: We'll do it. Then be that guy, you know, if

465
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: you if you, if you're gonna put put your running

466
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: back in a position and make play well. And also

467
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: the thing that gets me about it is, okay, yes,

468
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: the way the look was RPO. All right, you go

469
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,679
Speaker 1: to a pass read, I got it. But how many

470
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: times have We seen them line up on fourth and

471
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 1: one they did in Oakland, even without Zeke in the game,

472
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: and say, we don't care. Yeah, our offensive line is

473
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: gonna move the pile. And that's what they do with

474
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: Zeke in the lineup. What ze got the lineup they don't.

475
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: They don't care if you're paying your offensive line the

476
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: money they are. And I mean, I know Tyron wasn't

477
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: in there, but Zach and Travis were. And you're you're

478
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: you're paying your running back a lot top four money,

479
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: five four point five five million dollars a year. Just

480
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: do it like that's I could I could picture it

481
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,959
Speaker 1: with Crystal clarity. Jason Garrett said, you know, it's it's

482
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: hard to run in those situations like this is the NFL. Well,

483
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: you supposedly have the best in the business in that

484
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 1: type of You created doubt in the quarterback's mind on

485
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: the throw because what you did was on the RPO.

486
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 1: The best RPOs they've had this year have been with

487
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 1: throwing the ball. Who Jason Witton or Beasley? Yeah, well

488
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,239
Speaker 1: Witton stays in the block. Yeah, Witton's block, and now

489
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: you got Beasley. So what you did was, though, where

490
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: the where the safety was where the safety was playing.

491
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: He said even in the post game, he said that

492
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: the read wasn't clean. He didn't he had doubt and

493
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: why even create doubt in his mind? See take the

494
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: doubt away. That's the other thing. Okay, it's hard to

495
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: run down by the goal line, probably pretty hard to

496
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: throw down there with it'll get Beasley did a great

497
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: job getting open. The problem Earl Thomas is playing. Yeah,

498
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,959
Speaker 1: you know, you get a guy flashes right for your

499
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: face on the read. The Frank Clark goes so far

500
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: down inside and now there's the linebacker standing right there,

501
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: so he's not gonna be able. Prescott's not gonna be

502
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: able to run the ball. You know, he's not gonna

503
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: be able to run it in like we've seen him

504
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: before off the read option stuff. And now you've got

505
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: Earl Thomas standing in the middle there in the in

506
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 1: those lines of sight. So you've created doubt. To me,

507
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: what's the most simple thing to do? Hand the ball

508
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: to Zeke, Let everybody far off the ball and try

509
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: and score. It's been a theme for this year, I

510
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: think is outsmarting yourself. That's what I'm saying. This was

511
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: a time you didn't need to outsmart yourself. You know,

512
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: if you want to look cute and all that on

513
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 1: National TV Game of the Week and all that, do

514
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 1: it when you're up by fourteen. Do it when you're

515
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 1: up by seventeen. That's not a time to be cute.

516
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: That's a time to go get the touchdown. Let's let's

517
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: take it. Let's keep as much time on the clock

518
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: as we can get the points. And our defense is

519
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: playing out of their mind. That's a bad play call

520
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,479
Speaker 1: by Scott Linehan because he should know what the defense

521
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: is doing. He gets points there, he gets a touchdown there,

522
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 1: He's like, damn, I'm gonna get this ball back. I'm

523
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 1: gonna get this ball back with a chance to win

524
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: one nineteen with how many minutes to play? Yeah, what

525
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: did you see on film? What our receivers? Man? What

526
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: did you see? Because what did you see? I said

527
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: this morning on Twitter, this quarterback does not have faith

528
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: throwing a contested ball. He really doesn't, you know. And

529
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that they were covered every single play,

530
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: but he's just not going to throw a contested ball.

531
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: He's seen it clang up in the air too many times. Yeah,

532
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 1: He's like, well, Dak's got this problem. Dak is not perfect.

533
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: He's a second year quarterback. He's got a lot of

534
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: he's got a lot of faults. But he's got a

535
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: lot of good things about him too. The mobility, the toughness,

536
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: the willingness to try and make plays. Is his mechanics good. No,

537
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,719
Speaker 1: we talk about that. The coordinators try and make him

538
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: play from the pocket. Yeah, he's played well from the

539
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 1: pocket at times. But you you his receivers. You know,

540
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: if if he's got no confidence in throwing a tight

541
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: window ball, he's not going to throw anybody open. You know,

542
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: that's a problem. It's a big problem. There's no separation there.

543
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: He throws a ball, he throws a ball to to

544
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 1: Brian in the flats and eight yard game, he gets

545
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: punched out. Here's a ball inside mean to Terence Williams.

546
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: Actually made a couple of plays where he had some

547
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 1: good routes, a couple where where he was able to

548
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: separate and gets that's what you gotta have. Ball was

549
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 1: a little high a couple time Terrence was able to adjust.

550
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 1: But to throw a contested ball with these guys, every

551
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: time it's happened, he's been punished. M that's a problem.

552
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: He's not an accurate quarterback. He's not accurate to I mean, now,

553
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 1: the biggest problem with him is when he's not throwing

554
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: well on the move. Now you've got issues. Yeah, that's

555
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 1: his game. That is his game. And you talked about

556
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 1: how they adjust, teams adjusted against him without Zeke in

557
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: the lineup. Zeke comes back, maybe you get some of

558
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: that boot waggle stuff going a little bit. Seattle did

559
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: a good job of taking that away. Yeah, well, ball

560
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: he threw, he threw a ball, he threw a contested ball.

561
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: He booted to the right, threw a contested ball to

562
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: Noah Brown on the sideline. Noah Brown, can you know,

563
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: couldn't come up with it. But the corners all over him.

564
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: There's nothing there. He they bring, they bring Terrence Williams underneath,

565
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: he's covered. I mean, it's you know, the things that

566
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: the things, the strength of his game. When they get

567
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: taken away, then all of a sudden, now you're in

568
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: trouble offensively. So why not why not just hand the

569
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: damn ball off on the goal line and get a score.

570
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: We bring it right back around. No, but that's what

571
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: it really is. See coaches like to say, oh we

572
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: you know, we want to just put our players in

573
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: best positions to make plays. Okay, if you do call

574
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: a successful play, or you do call a play that

575
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: should work and the players aren't doing it, then that's something.

576
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: That's something because that's that that happens. But but but this,

577
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: this was inexcusable on the goal line because your defense

578
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: was playing well enough to win that football game. You

579
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: could have got to stop, you could have got a

580
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: ball back. Heck, maybe maybe they punt it to you,

581
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, switcher get you twenty twenty

582
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: five yards on a return. Now you're now you're in business.

583
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: You didn't even give it. You didn't even give yourself

584
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: a chance. How do you feel about the way Zeke

585
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,719
Speaker 1: ran overall leading up to that series. I didn't think

586
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: he was in great shape. Myself started off fast. Yeah,

587
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: but do you think it's the game war on? I

588
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: think I think he got you ever see Elliott come

589
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: off the field football shape? Yeah, he's not running sands all.

590
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: You can run sand dunes, you can get out of

591
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: hour doesn't and run the sand was about a side

592
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: hitting you. Yeah, it's a different story. I thought ball

593
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: shape was. That's like he was nice physical shape. Yeah,

594
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it looked good, but football shape. No,

595
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: how many carries? Twenty six? Is that what we said?

596
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: I think so I didn't bring my stats. I think

597
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: I say that that's what I thought it would get.

598
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: Game I was sending everybody said he about twenty six

599
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: cares and people like, man, I give it to him

600
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: thirty twenty four for ninety seven he had eleven. As

601
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,239
Speaker 1: you mentioned, Dave, in the first quarter, he wasn't even

602
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: probably playing this week. Well that's another we could have

603
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: next segment. What happened next week? Nah? Would but maybe not.

604
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you're out for six weeks, maybe you're

605
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: not in football shape. I thought I thought he was good.

606
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: I thought he I would saying he's bad. I'm just saying,

607
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: though it looked like how many times did he kind

608
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: of take himself out of the out of the game? Honest, Like,

609
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I hadn't really thought about this un till

610
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: we start talking about and no, no, in the second

611
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: half at least two or three times at least that

612
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: it's not like but it's not but six weeks off

613
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: and what twenty eight total carries? I'm not going to

614
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: kill him for that. And you should. But they should

615
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: have handed to him again one more time down on

616
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: the goal line. How how similar is this game to

617
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: to that Giant's game to open the season, with the

618
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: difference being that the Cowboys didn't gift the Giants twenty

619
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: one points. He was a shop or running at first.

620
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: It was tough running for Zeke. I think he finished

621
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: with one oh weight he had. His long on the

622
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: day was probably eleven. Dak had accuracy issues, couldn't get

623
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: on the same page with Dez. They goofed at the

624
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: goal line and had to settle for how many field

625
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: goals did they kick in that game? It's nineteen. I

626
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: think they've kicked four field goals and scored a touchdown. Yeah,

627
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: sounds a lot like what we watched on Sunday, except

628
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,479
Speaker 1: that they didn't goof the hell up and give them

629
00:31:55,760 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: basically fourteen easy, very easy points. It's just just inconsistent

630
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: and inefficient across the board. I know, we keep going

631
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: back to this last series and it's a huge one

632
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter or the one in question down

633
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: around the goal line. But you know, you start in

634
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: the first quarter and you look at the way Zeke

635
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: was running. Yeah, it was it was their third series

636
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: where they first got a field goal to go up

637
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: three zero five yards, six yards, six yards, four yards,

638
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: five yards. I mean, it was like he was killing them.

639
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: It was like, Okay, they're not gonna stop him. And

640
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: it felt like at some point these five yard runs

641
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: we're going to turn in the second half, turn into

642
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: eight nine, maybe breaks a big one. But never had

643
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: that opportunity. No, not really. But we're talking about you know,

644
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: that goal line play at the end and that that

645
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: first scoring drive at the start of the second quarter.

646
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: They get to the eighteen yard line of Seattle and

647
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: they go empty and they throw two passes and wind

648
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: up with a field goal. So I mean, if you

649
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: want a second guest play calling, you can look at

650
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: that one too. I guess the other well, the other

651
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: thing that's funny there is and it feels like it

652
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: happens every week for one reason or another. And I

653
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: can hear Jason are talking about it is like, you know,

654
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: the circumstances dictate what you do, so you go empty,

655
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: you kick that field goal. Next time you get the ball,

656
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: Deaz loses the ball on the first down or second down,

657
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: whatever it was. That's a whole possession where Zeke's not

658
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: playing a role. Yeah, then you get the ball back

659
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: and you're in a two minute situation and you're minimizing

660
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: Zeke just because of the circumstances of the game. So

661
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: for a variety of reasons, you've taken your best player

662
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: out of most of the second quarter after featuring him

663
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: for the entire nose. Right. The shame of it all

664
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: is the shame of it all is we're still waiting

665
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: I want to receive to make a serious play. Yeah, yeah,

666
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: two big your two chunk players, we're both pis. That

667
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 1: was your best offense for a large stretch there, and

668
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: that was Dak running and throwing for Hope because yeah,

669
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: and it got to the point in the late in

670
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter was like, okay, you need something at

671
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: that final drive, just chuck it up because they're calling

672
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: that flag. But hey, Nate, to your point, yes, did

673
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: get a big thirty three yard completion. Yeah, on the

674
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: crossing route them up. What happened on the next play exactly.

675
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: That's that's been the issue with this offense, is just

676
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 1: that consistency part of it is uh and out. You

677
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: could say Dak couldn't throw a great ball but it

678
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 1: was two hands with Dez and Argue should have caught

679
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 1: the pass. My issue is this, we got receivers and

680
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: and and I don't know what Sanu is. I don't

681
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,479
Speaker 1: know what the guy for Atlanta is, the second team

682
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:37,359
Speaker 1: guy for Atlanta, Uh, the second Mohammed Sanou Yeah, he's

683
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: your two. And then behind Jones. Yeah, yeah, so it's

684
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: another guy that uh Cincinnati. They let both of these

685
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 1: guys go. Yeah. Uh, and I think he plays for Detroit.

686
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: I could be wrong, Marvin Jones. You don't when you're

687
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 1: number two receiver, one thing you don't do is dropped

688
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 1: the ball. Yeah, that's you know, because you're taking advantage

689
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 1: of single coverage. Now my my question, I'm trying to

690
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: find some answers. Did you see a lot of doubling

691
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: and it gets out of received? Was this past game?

692
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:16,240
Speaker 1: Was they with they did? Okay? Okay, so what was Williams?

693
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: Wis Williams See Williams I didn't think was terrible? He

694
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:26,800
Speaker 1: was he was all right a couple first down if so.

695
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: I'm what I'm trying to figure out. Was the quarterback

696
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: just that bad quarterback wasn't good? Okay, So let's let's

697
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 1: be honest, here, what option really is Terrence Williams in

698
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 1: this offense? Four or five? Is he really a two? No?

699
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: So I'm saying he's if he's your fourth or fifth option? Okay, okay,

700
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: well who was it? I'm not trying to I'm not

701
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 1: trying to jump out no, no, I'm a great with you.

702
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,760
Speaker 1: Then Okay, that's and I'm trying to find answers. Yeah, okay,

703
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: if he's if he's the fourth option, who was the

704
00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: second option behind? This is probably probably Beasley or what happened.

705
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. See, that's exactly right. I'm through with it.

706
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 1: Is Dad's gray. It's this crab who who needs to

707
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: be the guy? Who needs? Who needs to? You know

708
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: what I'm saying if we look at the one one

709
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: guy and it's taken away that you can't cover everybody.

710
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is you have to

711
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 1: be an athlete at some point and say I'm getting over,

712
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: I'm getting over. Yeah, I'm making this play for my quarterback.

713
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 1: Because Tony Romo wasn't fortunate enough, he had to learn

714
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 1: with subpar receivers. Yeah, then once he learned, he helped

715
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 1: his receivers. Now it's time for our receivers who's been

716
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: here for four years, three four. Now it's time for

717
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 1: you to help the young quarterback by by some time,

718
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 1: not all the time, but by sometime catching some of

719
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: these passes. Fair point name this can be. I mean,

720
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: this is little big picture for two days after Week sixteen,

721
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: we're not even technically done with the season. But that's

722
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: that's a baffling. That's a puzzle that this team has

723
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 1: to figure out. Because I can look everywhere else on

724
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 1: this team and I can kind of come to a

725
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: really logical conclusion about what they need to do. All right,

726
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: Your your linebacker depth was really tested this year. You

727
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: need you need to sign if you want to resign

728
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 1: Anthony Hitchins or draft a guy or bring in a

729
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: free agent. You know, Uh, your your defensive linemen that

730
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: have had successful seasons are coming up on contracts. You

731
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: gotta tag them. You gotta figure out what you want

732
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,359
Speaker 1: to do with David Irving. Put a tender on him.

733
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: You're gonna let him go for a draft pick. You're

734
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 1: gonna bring him back. All that's really easy. Uh, You're

735
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: you're running back. He had a suspension, he's he's been

736
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: overly scrutinized by the league. You're one strike away from

737
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: big problems. You're one of your running backs is a

738
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: free agent. All right, you need to figure that out.

739
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 1: All of this is really easy. Look at your wide receivers.

740
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,240
Speaker 1: All of them are are under contract for good money.

741
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 1: There there's not an easy way away from any of them.

742
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: And yet I think we can all agree that that

743
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,919
Speaker 1: that's a problem spot for this team. Right. I don't

744
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: think Terence Williams was terrible in this game. He wasn't

745
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,359
Speaker 1: four targets for catches forty four yards, no, five yards.

746
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: He wasn't terrible. I mean, is he was? That it

747
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,320
Speaker 1: was a problem I think lives that if if he's

748
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 1: the best performance among your he was better than your one.

749
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. If that, if four for forty

750
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: four is the best day of your receivers, that's what's

751
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: not good. See that's that's that's the Nate's point. I believe. Yeah,

752
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: you it comes a point where you as a coaching

753
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:40,359
Speaker 1: staff for scout and staff, Hey you got every team

754
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: Locke for Seattle. What's the other kid? Is? No his

755
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: main receiver? Can't? I mean, I promise you and I

756
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: could be wrong. But when Seattle has had a little

757
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: bit better offensive line, ballwin has came up. B Yeah,

758
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 1: when he's had a little bit better well, we got

759

762
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,279

763
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 1: suspension and make everything better and it wasn't. At twelve points,

764
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 1: four field goals for Dan Bailey, I thought he was

765

Speaker 1: is a new watch. It's not set. Did you just

825
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:23,959
Speaker 1: like put it out of the box on your wrist?

826
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 1: I just grabbed it out of my addresser on my

827
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: way to work and didn't think of one more segment.

828
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 1: I looked at at Dave's watch. It, I grabbed it

829
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: and I put it on and I went to work,

830
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: and I didn't even think about the fact that it's

831
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: what movie was you watching before you left the house?

832
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: Friday at thirteenth? Why would I be watching Friday? Grab

833
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 1: a shirt with Jason? What's going on here? Everybody? I'm sorry, Dad,

834
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: I just at the time and I looked down just

835
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: because I didn't want to look at my one, Bob,

836
00:42:56,560 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: you shake? What the sixteen? Wait? But when you buy

837
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 1: a new watch, do you have to set the time?

838
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: Or do they you usually have to set? He got

839
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 1: his fresh out of the box. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

840
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: You didn't get his stocking stuff for it, and he

841
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 1: just didn't even You know what happened is I wore

842
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 1: the last time I wore this was in Oakland and

843
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: it was set to California time, and I hadn't touched

844
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,879
Speaker 1: it since, and now I put it on without thinking

845
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 1: about it. Okay? Is that okay? But it wasn't even

846
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: close to California time. Yeah, it says midnight right now?

847
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 1: It it was? It was at ten o'clock, right, and

848
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 1: it's twelve here, it's twelve fifteen. Whatever? Why are we

849
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: doing this? I just I was just because I didn't

850
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 1: want to look at my watch, you know, I didn't

851
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:37,879
Speaker 1: want to look down at my watch, so I thought

852
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 1: I'd just look at yours. And then that's lazy. That's

853
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: that's what you just say. It was to look at

854
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 1: your own watch instead of mine. How about that? You

855
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 1: know what? Nates? You know Nates though, Nates the guy.

856
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,879
Speaker 1: It's got a twenty five thousand dollars watch and looks

857
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 1: at his phone for the time. He just worse than

858
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 1: me looking at the guys watch across what I feel like,

859
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: that's what we all do now. I feel like watches

860
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: are just decorated. It's yeah, it's an accessory. It's an accessory.

861
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:03,320
Speaker 1: I don't look at this thing to tell time. I

862
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: just didn't want to be rude and look at my

863
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: watch in front of you. Well, you got the TV's

864
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: cut off because you sit in a stare at the

865
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: TV's that's rude. And they got a show to do.

866
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:19,479
Speaker 1: At least. I don't look at my phone. Staff do that. Well,

867
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 1: that being said, we still got we're a bunch of

868
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 1: haters right now. I just checked the time. We got teams,

869
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: all right, let's go for it. I'm sorry about that.

870
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 1: Didn't mean to draw your off side. Oh you're good man.

871
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,839
Speaker 1: We still got a call Kent who we got online? Yeah? Nick,

872
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: go ahead, Hey guys. A long time listener, first time caller,

873
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 1: uh Brian the NFL A Shirley Strange, Lady Nate A

874
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,399
Speaker 1: happy played birthday. One of my favorite all time fair

875
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: players all time. Um Yester or the other day. It

876
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 1: was definitely a heartbreaking law. I feel like the Cowboys

877
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: they've you know, they've done this past a few seasons

878
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: where when they're when they're on, they're really on, and

879
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:01,439
Speaker 1: sometimes they just go out there and lay an egg

880
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 1: and they they were definitely they're definitely a better team

881
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 1: than than Seattle Seahawks. I'm not I'm not looking for

882
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:12,359
Speaker 1: the head coach to be fired. Um, you know, both

883
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:16,359
Speaker 1: coordinators are really good. I think Mary Nellie gets all

884
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: all that he can out of the guys, and um,

885
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 1: you know, for the offensive coordinator, they can go on

886
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 1: there and put up thirty points and then uh, you know,

887
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 1: other games they just they just don't show up. But

888
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: I'm really disappointed with with dead this season. You know,

889
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 1: when when he's having those off games, last last game

890
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 1: is pretty much just shut down on the on the sideline,

891
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 1: and you know, we've all wanted him to be the

892
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 1: next Michael Irvin and uh, I was kind of disappointed

893
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 1: down his motivation. I was hoping that he'd be pumping

894
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,839
Speaker 1: up the guys and getting everybody back into it. Um.

895
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 1: So I think that the team really needs to look

896
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 1: at a new number one and Ternson Williams after he

897
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: catches the ball, He's got to keep moving. He catches

898
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 1: the ball, kind of looked at the marker and then

899
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: he goes down. He needs he needs to keep it,

900
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 1: keep it moving to his yards after yards after the catch,

901
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 1: and uh, I'll hang up and listen. Thanks guys, Thanks Nick,

902
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 1: thanks for holding in. By the way, he brought up

903
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett just wanted to point out Jerry on the

904
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 1: fan this morning. Reiterated Jason quote his job is not

905
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 1: an issue here at all. End quote. So Jason Garrett

906
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,839
Speaker 1: will be back. I know there was speculation maybe Jerry

907
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 1: would look at a head coaching change. Not gonna happen,

908
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 1: but he mentioned he covered a lot of ground there.

909
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 1: He covered Dez, he covered Terrence Williams. I'm gonna say

910
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: that's that's about as complimentary as I could expect a

911
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 1: fan call to be bait. Like, I don't know what

912
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: y'all's mentions have looked like the last two days. Mind. Yeah,

913
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 1: they're trying to they're trying to fire the security guards

914
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 1: here at the Star my mentions, so yeah, I don't

915
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 1: know where to start with that. I mean, job status

916
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 1: is what it is. I do. I mean, if you're

917
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 1: reading between the lines. Jerry Jones has twice now said

918
00:46:57,560 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 1: that Jason that he feels good about Jason Garrett. He

919
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 1: has not extended that confidence to any other coach on

920
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: the staff. He has not said, you know, I feel

921
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 1: good about this guy or that guy, or I like

922
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 1: where our offense or our defense is YadA, YadA, YadA.

923
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 1: So you know, you can read between the lines with

924
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 1: that if you want to. I don't know. I mean,

925
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. But I wouldn't be

926
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 1: surprised if there's some type of change on the coaching

927
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 1: staff at some point in the next few weeks. I

928
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 1: think naturally they'll be changed, and that's just the nature

929
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,800
Speaker 1: of the business. Yeah, you have guys that are currently

930
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: it will be not under contract. I'm not going to

931
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:31,800
Speaker 1: get into names and stuff, but I do know for

932
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 1: a factors six or seven guys right now they're in

933
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 1: the last year of their deal. And again it's something

934
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 1: that the you know, the organization doesn't speculate about it

935
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:44,439
Speaker 1: and or talk about contracts, and so I don't feel

936
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: it's my place too that, but I do know that

937
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 1: there are several guys I would not be surprised if

938
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 1: there's turnover. I don't know if he'll come from the

939
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: coordinator spot. Yeah, but several of the position coaches are

940
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 1: in that mode right now where they do. They're in

941
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 1: the last year of their contract, and it might naturally

942
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:03,359
Speaker 1: be a way of the team saying, okay, we want

943
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 1: to move on. Just give an example. We want to

944
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 1: move on from wide receiver. We want to move on

945
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 1: from defensive back, we want to move on from linebacker.

946
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: I mean, there's others. There's ways to move on, you know,

947
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 1: with could just because of naturally the contracts not being there.

948
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 1: So I do think there's gonna be some changes. I

949
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 1: think there's I think this when we get to next week.

950
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 1: This time next week, there'll be a lot of coaches

951
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,840
Speaker 1: around the league. Oh yeah, so back Monday. Yeah, the

952
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 1: Cowboys will be able to say, Okay, what coach you

953
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 1: know from another team, does Jason Garrett, you know who

954
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: fits this? Who fits that? And then you can go

955
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 1: from there. Be laughing about over there, Nathaniel, because I

956
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:48,800
Speaker 1: believe this. If a player can't get open, our player

957
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:50,760
Speaker 1: can't do this, there's no doubt about that. A player

958
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:52,720
Speaker 1: can't do his job, you get rid of a player.

959
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 1: If a player needs help and getting open and being

960
00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 1: who he needs to beat. As the coach's job. Get

961
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 1: Das Bryant who me. Yeah, I don't know what they

962
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 1: do with Das, but I do know this right here

963
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:09,920
Speaker 1: that you can't repeat what just happened this season. I agree,

964
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 1: you can't slept himself. He's his his his performance this

965
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:16,800
Speaker 1: year has left himself open. You can't that for that

966
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 1: for that question, absolutely, and that that happens. But you

967
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:22,240
Speaker 1: can say about a lot of guys that that happens

968
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 1: anytime in football. I mean, that's that's the business of

969
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 1: the league. Is here. Because he's been hurt, yep, Okay,

970
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 1: it quite impossible. But do you judge just performance off

971
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: of okay, because the last few years he's been hurt.

972
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 1: So okay, he had a down year, but the second

973
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 1: your quarterback. Yeah, so you blame it on on on

974
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:46,840
Speaker 1: the quarterback. But let me say this right here, just

975
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:51,279
Speaker 1: because this is what I do believe, is you either

976
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 1: expand your route tree and be a better receiving and

977
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:59,360
Speaker 1: plus catch the ball. Are you becomes you become a

978
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 1: role player. Role Players don't make twelve point five million nullus.

979
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 1: Role players don't make that and It's like, I mean,

980
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 1: you're either you're either overperforming a cheap contract or underperforming

981
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 1: a big contract. In the NFL, like how many guys

982
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 1: are just like adequately paid and nobody really thinks about it.

983
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 1: Tony Brown, Yeah, no, that's fair. Do you worry about

984
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:25,320
Speaker 1: paying the Marcus Lawrence? Am I worried? Like am I

985
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:27,399
Speaker 1: worried about their ability to do it? Worry about handing

986
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 1: him seventeen million dollars on a franchise? Tach? Well? Yeah,

987
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: really one year guaranteed one year. Who's been more consistent

988
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 1: to earn their contract? Dez or de Marcus Lawrence over

989
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 1: the course of the year or this year? I mean,

990
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 1: just to get the big deal. Now, now you could

991
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 1: probably I didn't use Tyrn Crawford because that's that's a

992
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 1: little bit of a different that's a different that's a

993
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:50,360
Speaker 1: different oversation. I mean, the resume that does put up

994
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 1: to earn that contract is far superior. I mean, you're

995
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 1: talking about four years worth. Were blaming him or we

996
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 1: blaming the quarterback for him? I think, like I think,

997
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: as with everything else in football, it goes hand in

998
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:03,239
Speaker 1: hand a little bit. I mean, I think would be

999
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: a better player with a more veteran confident quarterback, like

1000
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:08,439
Speaker 1: a Tony Romo, And I think when they signed that deal,

1001
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 1: they expected him to have Tony Romo for two or

1002
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 1: three more years, and he got two games. I think

1003
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:15,719
Speaker 1: that's worth pointing out. But then I look at it

1004
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 1: at the same time, and I think about New York

1005
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 1: when Dak put it right on his face mask and

1006
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 1: it went right between his hands, And I think about

1007
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: Sunday when they were down near the red zone, and

1008
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 1: I don't care if it wasn't a perfectly thrown ball.

1009
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 1: Go find the screen cap where it bounces off both

1010
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 1: of his hands. Yeah, we're making twelve in his hands. Yeah,

1011
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:37,400
Speaker 1: both hands plural with an S like I can't. I

1012
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:39,880
Speaker 1: don't care if it wasn't a well thrown ball. Catch

1013
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:44,440
Speaker 1: the ball. Jeff has the same thing. Okay, you can

1014
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 1: say that this quarterback for Philadelphia is better than Dak,

1015
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:53,319
Speaker 1: that's fine, But Ashanz, jeffers to me, is Daz He's

1016
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 1: catching the ball, brother, which, well, all right, go back

1017
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 1: one year. Was anybody Dez did not have a year

1018
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:01,239
Speaker 1: that measured up of that type of contract, But was

1019
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 1: anybody killing him for it? He had what fifty receptions

1020
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:07,399
Speaker 1: for seven hundred, eight hundred yards and eight touchdowns. It's

1021
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: a couple of games, three games, I think, and was

1022
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:13,279
Speaker 1: he was a deep threat. He had big gains against Pittsburgh,

1023
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 1: He had big gains against Minnesota. It was his last

1024
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 1: hundred yard game right this year. I think he went

1025
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 1: for one hundred in the playoffs, didn't he? And I'll

1026
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 1: say this, to some degree, no straight games, and to

1027
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 1: some degree, when Zeke is the focal point of your offense,

1028
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 1: you gotta look at number receiver numbers a little differently.

1029
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: He knows he's been a running offense. Yeah, you know.

1030
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 1: And I guess that's my point is he did not

1031
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 1: have having none of this. He did not have mind

1032
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:41,680
Speaker 1: boggling come out last year. Last year, let me hear it,

1033
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:46,399
Speaker 1: doesn't it comes? Doesn't it come? Become a point though,

1034
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 1: where your number is called and you are that guy

1035
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 1: and we're saying, we're saying the same thing, saying the

1036
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 1: same thing last year. He was not putting up those

1037
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:00,840
Speaker 1: types of numbers to justify that money, but you felt

1038
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 1: that it was still worth it because within the framework

1039
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:05,399
Speaker 1: of the offense, he made plays when he was called

1040
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:08,400
Speaker 1: upon all that he didn't drop obvious catch at all

1041
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 1: that type of stuff, and then this year it just

1042
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 1: it hasn't looked anything like he is. He getting paid

1043
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:15,719
Speaker 1: for an offense that isn't suited to his talents. But

1044
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 1: that's my point. It's not but he made it work

1045
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: last year. Nobody felt bad about Dez. Last year. I

1046
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:25,720
Speaker 1: thought everything combined between the rookie quarterback, between the injury,

1047
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 1: between the style of offense they wanted to run. I

1048
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 1: thought he was solid, like he was a good number

1049
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 1: one receiver. He gave you a big play threat. He

1050
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 1: made big plays when they called his number. He hasn't

1051
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:37,719
Speaker 1: done that this year. He's right though, I mean when

1052
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 1: your numbers call, go make a play. I mean he's right,

1053
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:42,759
Speaker 1: He's yeah, And you look at the game. Would you

1054
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:44,760
Speaker 1: agree with would you agree with me that the difference

1055
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 1: between even last year and this year is like night

1056
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:48,880
Speaker 1: and day. Oh yeah, it doesn't even look like the

1057
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 1: same player. Like last year, he looked like Dez in

1058
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 1: an offense that wasn't suited for him. Right now, he

1059
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 1: just I don't know what he is. He's It's been

1060
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 1: a terrible year across the board. Let's one more call

1061
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:05,399
Speaker 1: before we get out of here. Kent, Hello, Kent. Hello,

1062
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 1: who we got? Go ahead, Brian Ken Who do we got? Brian?

1063
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:14,759
Speaker 1: What's up right there? Hey? Sorry about that. Hey, it's

1064
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 1: a preas you're talking with gentleman today. I just I

1065
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 1: wanted to say a quick thing to a Cowboys nation

1066
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 1: because I know Dave kind of mentioned that, you know,

1067
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: your Twitter mentioned are um looking pretty you know, dumpster

1068
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 1: fiery lately? Um? And I just wanted to say, you know,

1069
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 1: it's it's one thing to take a game so seriously

1070
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:38,279
Speaker 1: that we that you know that we had the other

1071
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:41,400
Speaker 1: day and that was an awful game. It's terrible. But

1072
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 1: you know, just consider this, Consider how great it is

1073
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 1: that all these people have the luxury of being upset

1074
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 1: over a football game. You know a lot of people

1075
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:56,440
Speaker 1: in the world don't have that privilege, that don't have

1076
00:54:56,560 --> 00:55:00,080
Speaker 1: that luxury. So that's um, you know, that's someth and

1077
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 1: definitely to consider UM in the relative scheme of things,

1078
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:06,920
Speaker 1: for sure. So it's a season and all that. For that,

1079
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:11,400
Speaker 1: thank you. My question is what would be your preference

1080
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:16,280
Speaker 1: for the first round pick wide receiver, linebacker, Rollklan Smith,

1081
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:19,399
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley. You know what, what would you guys look

1082
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 1: at the strongest at the first round and I'll hang

1083
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 1: up and listen. Thank you, guys. One days to the

1084
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 1: draft week. The age old question. You want to make

1085
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 1: that call in one minute? You don't want to name

1086
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 1: the first round pick. Well, it's that's what I tried

1087
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:35,920
Speaker 1: to get into a minute ago. Is he's trying to

1088
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:38,240
Speaker 1: get a position. I didn't. I didn't want to believe

1089
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:40,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver was that big of a need. And I

1090
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 1: feel like I have to reconsider everything I thought. Um,

1091
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:47,439
Speaker 1: and it's you can't just pinpoint one position four months

1092
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 1: in advance. But what about you picking in right now? Dave?

1093
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:53,240
Speaker 1: I mean I said teen. Uh, I think it's technically

1094
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 1: nineteen right now. Okay, depending on what happened, you're on

1095
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 1: the cusp. N you can't be out ate here. You

1096
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 1: can't climb any higher than about sixteen. Yeah, okay, hear

1097
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 1: me out on this one. If you sit there in

1098
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 1: the nineteenth hole, you're on the cusp of not getting

1099
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:07,719
Speaker 1: a first round player. Yeah, you're on the very edge

1100
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:10,120
Speaker 1: of getting And I've only done about twenty five guys

1101
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 1: right now in terms of grades first round grades, and

1102
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 1: this group traditionally will have between eighteen and twenty two

1103
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:20,799
Speaker 1: guys on that board. If it's you're right on the cusp,

1104
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 1: but not getting a first round guy. If it's me,

1105
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 1: I've been saying linebacker in safety for a month, and

1106
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 1: I think you have to throw a wide receiver into

1107
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 1: that mix at this point, having seen what we've seen,

1108
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:32,880
Speaker 1: is that does that sound about right? Look at the

1109
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 1: look at the issues. Look at the issues you have

1110
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:37,439
Speaker 1: at linebacker. You have to look at Shaun Lee's health.

1111
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 1: You have to look at Jalen Smith. What's his health situation? Yea,

1112
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 1: And you're likely not and Anti Hitchins is likely gone.

1113
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:47,040
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to draft linebackers here. Yeah, and you

1114
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 1: can't and you get and you've got to make sure

1115
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:51,279
Speaker 1: that you hit on those linebackers. And with the with

1116
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 1: the thing with Smith from Georgia, he's a will linebacker,

1117
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:57,359
Speaker 1: he's an off balls. They can get on the field, Yeah,

1118
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 1: and contribute. I don't I don't care what they are

1119
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 1: as long as but no Mo sitting on the bench

1120
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 1: for eight, nine, ten games. Taccoy, our guy, our guys

1121
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:10,759
Speaker 1: played pretty well the last two or three weeks. Though.

1122
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:14,479
Speaker 1: That's because they're letting him play. Yeah, they're letting him play,

1123
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, let the guys play man, You

1124
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 1: don't they these they did these these corners in safety,

1125
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:24,800
Speaker 1: those guys out there, Yep, they sure did. The one

1126
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:28,439
Speaker 1: guy they really didn't let play is is Switzer. Yeah.

1127
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 1: Surprised by that. Aside from returns offensively a lot they

1128
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:35,600
Speaker 1: had him that they wasn't gonna take the tight end

1129
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 1: off the field. Yeah. Yeah, that's what it comes down

1130
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 1: to a lot of times. Right. So you're saying linebacker.

1131
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 1: Just I want a firm answer from you. Yeah, no, linebacker,

1132
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 1: And I think, yeah, you look at the position, but

1133
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 1: you you made a good argument for wide receivers, so

1134
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 1: didn't Nate? You know, you made you very I think.

1135
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 1: But the problem is you've got you've got guys that

1136
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 1: are contractually tied to you. I don't know what to

1137
00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 1: do about that. Yeah, they have a position, they can

1138
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:02,920
Speaker 1: help us. I'm tired of getting one injury and we

1139
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 1: we can't play. I mean, we missed one player and

1140
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:12,080
Speaker 1: we can't play. Nate's going best available. Just play him. Yeah,

1141
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 1: help this team win immediately, so when we have an injury,

1142
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 1: we won't. We lost Sean Lee and all of a sudden,

1143
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 1: we're putting up the biggest bill boll Hey, well, you

1144
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 1: know what, we don't want to have the team without

1145
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:25,200
Speaker 1: Sean Lee. Oh we got this guy back. Oh, but

1146
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 1: we're missing Tyron. Come on, man, you mentioned to Marcus

1147
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:32,439
Speaker 1: Lawrence and I will say he's back. I mean, whether

1148
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 1: it's a franchise tag, whether it's an extension, you've got

1149
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 1: to bring him back. Do you think that's worth it?

1150
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. If I don't know, if you have

1151
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 1: so many tacos, Taco, don't do that. I see what

1152
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 1: you're doing. You're doing seventeen million dollars. So what else

1153
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 1: you gonna do? You're gonna tag him. Finally, you finally

1154
00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 1: have a pass rush that is at least respectable, if

1155
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 1: not outright good, arguably your best defensive player this year.

1156
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 1: You're talent well, I mean sure, blinding him long term?

1157
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:07,360
Speaker 1: Figure that out. I don't know. I'll figure that out.

1158
00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 1: Just but you can't. Nobody hates offseason talking more than Nate.

1159
00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 1: It just bothers me that you got, you got where

1160
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 1: we got. We need a team for once, for three

1161
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:23,640
Speaker 1: years where we just don't have. Everybody heard these guys taggle. Hey, man,

1162
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 1: let's part your game. War of attrition, Nate. That's how

1163
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:30,120
Speaker 1: I understand that, but some teams get fortunate. What it's

1164
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 1: a war of attrition. Hey, yeah, tell you this though, Nate,

1165
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 1: a bunch of Philadelphia. They might have won home field,

1166
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 1: but nobody's scared going up there and playing. Yeah, but

1167
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:44,480
Speaker 1: nobody go up there. Yeah, what we're gonna be doing. Yeah,

1168
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna up there. We're going up there. But nobody,

1169
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:50,360
Speaker 1: nobody's scared play with that quarterback. Yeah. If ever there

1170
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 1: was a year where sneaking in as the six might

1171
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 1: have worked out, that would have been worked out. Fine.

1172
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:56,120
Speaker 1: It was all set up too and it didn't happen.

1173
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:59,440
Speaker 1: On Christmas Eve, Cowboys lose. They're out of the playoff contention.

1174
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:04,040
Speaker 1: We do go to Philly one more game. Cheese steaks

1175
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 1: for everyone. That's the plan. Thanks for everybody for joining us.

1176
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 1: Thanks to Nate, Dave, Brian Kent producing. We'll get back

1177
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 1: to our normal shows on Wednesday. See then, have a

1178
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:13,880
Speaker 1: cheese steak.
