It just 30 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: felt good, man, It felt good to see our team 31 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,959 Speaker 1: get a win. And you know, guys play up to 32 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: where they felt like they needed to be at this 33 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: point in the season. And I don't know if you 34 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: guys saw. I mean, there's so much happening with the 35 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: Cowboys right now, and I'm sure you're gonna hit this. 36 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: So I don't want to get ahead of you, because 37 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 1: that's what I do. Maskoyle, Yeah, yeah, I mean you 38 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: do it all the time, but I love it. But 39 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: I mean, there's plenty to talk about whenever he comes 40 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: to the last couple of days because of what Stephen 41 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: Jones said yesterday on one HI five three The Fan, 42 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 1: and then what Jerry Jones said today. And I kind 43 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: of want to get into what Jerry said today, and 44 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: he basically doubled down and he backed up Mike McCarthy 45 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: and he said it would be crazy. His actual word 46 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: was ridiculous on what he would end up or ridiculous 47 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: to even think that Mike McCarthy would not be here 48 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. And that was what Jerry Jones 49 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 1: said today on one h five three The Fan. But Isaiah, 50 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: last week, you were the one that said that you 51 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: didn't think that Mike McCarthy was the right man for 52 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: the job. Does one win change that or is this 53 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: just Jerry completely backing up his guy and doing what 54 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: he needs to do on air talking about what his 55 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 1: head coach is moving forward my steam is last week? 56 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: Or was just in reference to being unsure if he 57 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: is the right guy simply because of the decisions that 58 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: he's allowed to pass through his ranks. The defensive thing, 59 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: the things, the defensive calls or lack there of execution 60 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: or defense which runs through the defensive coordinator in which 61 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: he now he coaches that coach. So he allows that 62 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: the special teams players have come through that he's allowed 63 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: to across his table. Guess what he coaches that coach. 64 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: He allows that. So I do have a lot of 65 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: questions pretending around coach McCarthy. I have no questions about 66 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: his history, his past, but we're not talking about the 67 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: past anymore. Right The past gets you, gets you to 68 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: the present. But right now, presently, we I don't think 69 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: that he's done a good jobs as a head coach 70 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: in terms of being the overseer of all decisions that 71 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: touched them. But one game does not turn that around. 72 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: Absolutely not. We're still at the bottom of the of 73 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: the league and a lot of a lot of different areas. 74 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: So you know, I think he has a long way 75 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: to go. I think, you know, you do owe him 76 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: a full off season. Now. I think that's that's fair. 77 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: I wasn't saying to get rid of him. I'm just 78 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: saying that based off his decisions this year, I am 79 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: definitely not confident, but I'm going to give him. If 80 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: I was a general manager, I would definitely give him 81 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: another year in a full off season to show me 82 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: that what I just saw this year was was not true. Well, 83 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: I think any any other statement about Mike McCarthy in 84 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: twenty twenty would obviously be a knee jerk reaction to 85 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: what's going on with this team. You have to all 86 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 1: things being considered with COVID and what this coaching staff 87 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: has had to deal with. I think that's smart. I 88 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: think you don't attack it any other way, especially when 89 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: you went in to twenty twenty believing that you had 90 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,919 Speaker 1: the right guy and obviously, unbeknownst to you, global Pande 91 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: mc breaks out, and so I think that that's smart. 92 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: I think I didn't expect for Stephen or Jerry to 93 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 1: answer that question any other way. And I think you know, 94 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: not saying being let's be fair, I just feel as though, 95 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: you know you can't just have the okay, let's fire 96 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: this guy now, and realizing that he didn't have his 97 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: full arsenal and he definitely didn't have time to prepare 98 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 1: for the season. But there are some questionable things that 99 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: has happened, Like Isaiah said, all of those calls, a 100 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: lot of the things that he allowed to happen on 101 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: special teams, defensive calls, things like that. He hears that 102 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: offensive calls here, he's hearing again his headset and his 103 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 1: job is to coach to coaches. So when things like 104 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: that go by on your watch, that's just one more 105 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: that they're they're notching and putting under under his name 106 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: to see how he proceeds with this going into the future. 107 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 1: But you know, yeah, I didn't expect it the answer 108 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: to go anything any other way except for we're bringing 109 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: him back next year and Rob, we're talking about Jerry 110 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: Jones and what he said, yeah, or this morning rather 111 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: on one oh five three the Fan just a little 112 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: bit earlier than what you hopped on with Sean and 113 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: r J. They were on with him and he was 114 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 1: basically backing up Mike McCarthy and doubling down there. Do 115 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: you think that was that's exactly what Jerry thinks moving forward? 116 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: Or what do you What did you make out of 117 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: what Jerry had to say? Yeah, sorry, guys, I ran 118 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: kind of late on the Fan. I was honestly surprised 119 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: that it picked up steam in the mainstream media the 120 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: way it did. To be honest with you, I don't 121 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: think there's any There has never been a question to 122 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: me or I don't I believe Jerry in the Jones's 123 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: mind that Mike's back next year. I mean, one thing 124 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,239 Speaker 1: about Jerry is one regret that he has going back 125 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: to the late nineties in firing. I think it was 126 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: chan Gaily was not giving him enough time to establish 127 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: his program. It's it's one reason why Jason Garrett was 128 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 1: here for ten years because Jerry, Jerry decided continuity with 129 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: your coaching staff is very important. Now they reached a 130 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 1: point with Jason Garrett where they decided they needed a 131 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 1: new message. But they absolutely they're gonna give Mike a 132 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: lot of rope, a lot of chances here because the 133 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: pandemic is one thing. They also it's not based on 134 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: so much to me, what's what's happened this year. This 135 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: year has not been indicative of what he can do 136 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: as a head coach. Part of it's the circumstances. Part 137 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: of it's like you guys said, I mean, he's kind 138 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: of a walk around coach. I think we lost Rob 139 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: on both ends of this. So we'll get him back 140 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: coming up here in just a little bit. But basically 141 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: I like what he was talking to and I definitely 142 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: want him to finish off what he was saying here 143 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: in just a little bit. But Isaiah, whenever it comes 144 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: to listening to Jerry Jones, I mean, it really hasn't 145 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: been a question with Mike McCarthy, right, I mean it 146 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: really hasn't. You never really at any point this season, 147 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: even though no matter what you think personally, you never 148 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: saw this coaching staff and said there's no way that MIKEL. 149 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: McCarthy comes back in twenty twenty one. Correct. Uh, sorry, 150 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: it's a little bit of an echo. So I think 151 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: I got what you got what you said. But uh, 152 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: in terms of just repeat the last sports you said, 153 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: coach McCarthy, it was there any questionations he's coming back. 154 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: There was no question about what Jerry Jones had to 155 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: deal with in terms of bringing him back in twenty 156 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: twenty one. That was never in question. But maybe the 157 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: rest of the coaching staff that was kind of sporting 158 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 1: last week. Yeah. Absolutely, I think obviously coach McCarthy's coming back. 159 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: He you don't. You don't fire a coach after after 160 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: what if this is this is unprecedented. This has never 161 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 1: happened ever in the history of Everingham. Um, so you 162 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: get you definitely, if you were to fire him you're 163 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: the most cutthroat, ruthless individual in the world. If you 164 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: fire the hey coach for that. However, however, you do 165 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: fire coordinators and the defensive coordinator, I don't I don't 166 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: see how they can retain him after this year. I 167 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: think that you'd give it him a Yes, he's had 168 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: a lot of injuries happening to him too. There's guys 169 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,319 Speaker 1: that were supposed to be there, Veterans are supposed to 170 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: be there that he was relying on who you know, 171 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: either got hurt or you know, either got cut. However, 172 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: the cream of the crop, majority of his guys, they 173 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: have been there. He's had a ton of injuries in 174 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: the secondary as well, so he's had to overcome some things. 175 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,559 Speaker 1: But you look at it on the other side of 176 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: the ball, Coach Philman has overcome those things as well, 177 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: and coach philm is not even a coordinator. Kellen Moore 178 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: has made adjustments as well, and he is a coordinator. 179 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: So when you look at those those comparisons, when you 180 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: start looking at history and saying, hey, this is one 181 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: of the worst defensive defenses of all time, it's kind 182 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: of hard to justify giving him another opportunity to come 183 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: back because he hasn't shown you that he can overcome adversity. 184 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: That's That's one thing that I think everybody looks for 185 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: is I hate when those points of adversity really hit, 186 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: when those hurdles show up. How do you get over him? 187 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 1: Do you get over him? Or do you just run 188 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: into them over and over again? And I think that 189 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,599 Speaker 1: our defense has continually ran into the same dog and 190 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: hurt and set up finding a way around it. Heckma 191 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: Isaiah said, ever them, that's that's good. Uh. Mike Nolan 192 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: is Uh. Mike Nolan has had his struggles, and I 193 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: think when you look at the numbers on the defense, 194 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: it's it's it's through, it's off the charts. How bad 195 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: this defense has been on so many levels. And I 196 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: think it's hard uh as a fan base to kind 197 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: of get behind him and say, Okay, let's give him 198 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: another let's give him another stabbath this um, you know, 199 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 1: not making any excuses for him. I just feel like 200 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: he did not He never had the personnel to play 201 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: the scheme uh that he wanted, and I believe he 202 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 1: knew that going into the season. There are so many 203 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 1: injuries that happened prior before the season even started. I mean, 204 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: it seems like that was many moons ago. But there 205 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: were so many guys that we were counting on to 206 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 1: be a part of this defense that that were not 207 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: and you know, with the rookies and and um guys 208 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: that came off the practice squad to be on the defense. 209 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: It just seemed to me like this defense never had 210 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: an opportunity to get that continuity that we thought they 211 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:12,959 Speaker 1: would have in the front line, linebacker wise, dvs. And look, man, 212 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: that's that's the story all on its own, and just 213 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: how bad that has been for us, especially at the 214 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 1: safety position. We have to do something there, and so 215 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: I don't know, I kind of I hesitate to place Blaine, 216 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: especially when you know coaches are not coaching guys to 217 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: with on tackles and not attack the line of scrimmage 218 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 1: or not break on balls. These are things that guys 219 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: have been playing their whole entire careers. And so look, 220 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,319 Speaker 1: I just feel as though, even with that, even with 221 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: all things being considered, maybe we you know, approach this 222 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,319 Speaker 1: with caution and say, look, man, let's let's come back 223 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: to it the defense in the off season. Let's get 224 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: some of the personnel in there. So that we can 225 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 1: play the kind of defense that Nolan wants to play, 226 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: because right now he doesn't have the dogs to do it. Wow, 227 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: So Isaiah, you're keeping him all right? Excuse me, Isaiah, 228 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: you're moving on and then heckma, you're keeping him Rob. 229 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: I see you back on our WebEx side of things. Sorry, 230 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: I'm agree with Mike Nolan. I don't know what they're 231 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: gonna do. I mean, I think you know. He was 232 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: asked directly last night via conference called by the media, 233 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: Mike Nolan was you know, do you expect to be back? 234 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: And he said he's not thinking about it, and if 235 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: when that time comes, we'll deal with it if there 236 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: is a change. So like, look, he's aware of how 237 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: bad the defense has been this year. He knows it. 238 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: I mean, when you look at the numbers, it's it's 239 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,839 Speaker 1: historically bad. And it was a step in the right 240 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: direction on Sunday. But you know, I hear what you're 241 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: saying about, you know, not having the pieces necessarily to 242 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: play what you want, but then play a four three, 243 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: you know, don't be as multiple. And they did scale 244 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: some things back as the season went along, but he 245 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: has done both schemes throughout his career, and we heard 246 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: about them trying to you know, Taylor scheme to the personnel. 247 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if they've really done that this year. 248 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: They tried to fit it around what they wanted to do, 249 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: and it hasn't. It hasn't worked, And some of it's 250 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: personnel and some of it is executing you know, simple assignments. 251 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: You know, we've talked about that, Isaiah talked about that 252 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: during the season. There's been basic coverage as they've blown 253 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: and then in the personnel game too. Look, they haven't 254 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: they didn't replace certain players well enough clearly Byron Jones, 255 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: Jeff Heath, MALIEK. Collins. You can go down the list 256 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: you would. When people say it's, oh, it's it's the 257 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 1: same defense as last year, No it's not. You know, 258 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 1: they're missing guys that did a good job for them 259 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: last year. So it's a lot of different reasons. But 260 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: as I said on the fan a few minutes ago, 261 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: I mean they're gonna have to ask some hard questions 262 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: after the year about scheme, why didn't it work? And 263 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 1: obviously Mike Nolan's going to be a huge part of that. 264 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: We know Mike McCarthy has a lot of faith in him, 265 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 1: but you know, something's got to change. Whether it's drastic 266 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 1: changes in scheme or whether it's a change at the 267 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: coordinator position. I don't know what they're gonna do. And 268 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: I think that's something that's significant is is a lot 269 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: of people are I mean, that's kind of where I 270 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 1: hear that excuse come in and it's it's, oh, this 271 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: is the same personnel group. And I've said it before, 272 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: it's very similar of a personnel group that the Cowboys 273 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: had last year on defense. But one guy that's not 274 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: out there's number thirty one and Byron Jones, and you 275 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: don't have Byron Jones back out there. So it's a 276 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 1: combination of the personnel, it's a combination of the scheme. 277 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: There's a lot of things missing out of this defense 278 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: that have to be found this offseason for the Cowboys 279 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: to start having a little bit of success. And by 280 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: the way, I am watching the periscope chat because it 281 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: is fans on the fifty Tuesdays, So once again, if 282 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: you have questions, send in your questions on the periscope chat. 283 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 1: I like this comment from for Dizzel and I love 284 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: the name to for Dizzele. He says, bring Wade Phillips back. 285 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: Best defense we've had it forever. Where anybody want to go, 286 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: get it? Get Wade Phillips back, Isaiah, you played for 287 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: the man. Yeah. Coach Phillips is an amazing human being. 288 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: First of all, he's not I wouldn't classify him as 289 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: an amazing head coach. He's he's a great gentleman and 290 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: nice guy. But I think he's an amazing defensive coordinator. 291 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: That's just one thing he does well. I think he's 292 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: stepped out of his element a little bit when when 293 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: m P. I'm grateful because he brought me on. Um. 294 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: But but but um, I think I think he's he's 295 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: a much better defensive coordinator. And I don't think there's 296 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: anywhere he's been where he hasn't been well respected, where 297 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: he hasn't gotten the most out of that out of 298 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: the out of those players, out of that defense. Um. 299 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: He brings a lot of a lot of range, a 300 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: lot of diversity, the diversity, a lot of chick curveballs, 301 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: you know. In terms of his defensive schemes, He's able 302 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: to run the three four, He's able to run the 303 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: four to three no matter what personnel He's had, He's 304 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: found a way. And I think that's my biggest issue 305 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: with with with Mike Nolan this year is everybody knows 306 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: that you've had injuries. Everybody gets it. Everybody gets that 307 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: you've had injuries. Everybody gets that you brought veterans in 308 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: that that you knew we're going to play an integral 309 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: part and they didn't show up the way that you 310 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: expected him to. We get it, We totally understand. However, 311 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: as a coach, as a player, right you're judge based 312 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: off of how you can overcome those things. How can 313 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: you how can you change course? If this is your 314 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: course and you run a dog on boulder comes off 315 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: the mountain and blocks your road. Do you just sit 316 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: there and say, well, I'm just gonna wake this one out. 317 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: Or do you say, you know, let me find a way. 318 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: Let me start looking around. Can I go up that way? Now? 319 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: Let me see if I can go around this way? 320 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: You start changing things that you have to get creative 321 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: because this is your personnel, this is what you have. 322 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: Either you go have a conversation with Will, with Will 323 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: McClay and Jerry Jones and you say, hey, I need 324 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: to get this guy out of here. Give me, this 325 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: guy right here that I see blah blas blase, or 326 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: you say, these are my guys that I have on 327 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 1: my current roster. What the heck can I do to 328 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: make sure that these guys are effective and efficient? I 329 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: don't care if it's even something that nobody's ever seen before. Shoot, 330 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: when I played for New England, Rex Ryan used to 331 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: run a one one five five defense one to five five. Hey, 332 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: what the heck is a one five five That's never 333 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: been done ever in history? But guess what, that's the 334 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: personnel group he had. He trusted one defensive linement. He 335 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: had five good, really good linebackers in five dB. So 336 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: what did he do? This is what we're going with. 337 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter whether or not his tradition or not. 338 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: Find a way to make it happen. Find a way 339 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: to throw off the opposing team and be successful. And no, 340 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: and I'm sorry, Kyle, I just want to say that, 341 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: you know, I agree with that, and I think that 342 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: you know, obviously you got to play to the strength 343 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 1: of the guys that you have. But in the NFL, 344 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 1: if you stay with us a look too long, teams 345 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: will pick you apart. And he had to be multifaceted 346 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 1: with his defense and his coverages. If you're looking for 347 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 1: just talk about Tank Lawrence, right, a guy that we've 348 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: seen that come in through the draft that it was 349 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 1: a little raw. We have to work on this game. 350 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: Leon Lett worked on him to know end and he 351 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 1: turned out to be a player and got the contract. 352 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: Incomes Mike Nolan changes what we were doing before from 353 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: the four three to the three four, and now instead 354 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 1: of being a guy that's in the three down, he's 355 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 1: in a bicycle stand right, and that changes the dynamic 356 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: of the way that that guy had been coached up 357 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,239 Speaker 1: all of those years. I just and then let's go 358 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: back to the fact that multiple interviews with Steven Stephen 359 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 1: Jones saying that, look, we have the guys on campus 360 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: to get this done. We haven't seen that those guys yet. 361 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: Right back when we were trying to get other guys 362 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: from other teams, and I don't even want to get 363 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,640 Speaker 1: Isaiah started about this, but I just feel as though 364 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 1: we had multiple opportunities to bring in guys to help us, 365 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: but we felt like the group that we had was 366 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: good enough. And I think that going back and looking 367 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: at the film, we realized that we didn't have it. 368 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: That's so frustrating, it really is, because there were guys 369 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: out there that can potentially help you, or at least 370 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,199 Speaker 1: you thought so, and they just haven't been able to 371 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 1: bring any any of those guys in. Rod. But those 372 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: names sound good in names theory, right and right. But 373 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: look at who the Cowboys brought in and name it 374 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,400 Speaker 1: sounded great too, you know, Everson Griffin, don Terry Poe 375 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: didn't work. Yeah, so, I mean there was no guarantee there. 376 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 1: I don't really you know, nobody signed her Old Thomas 377 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: this year for whatever reason. I'm not saying he can't 378 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: play anymore, but nobody did so. Isaiah mentioned Rex Ryan. 379 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 1: It did get me thinking about Rob Ryan coming in here, 380 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:03,120 Speaker 1: and there's there's a similarity. Like after Wade's tenure, rob 381 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 1: Ryan comes in as DC and we heard about being 382 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: multiple and doing all this different stuff and it's it 383 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: sounds great, but if you can't apply it on the field, 384 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 1: that's when you have a problem. They had substitution pattern problems, 385 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 1: you know, with with Rob Ryan, and that's they try 386 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 1: to do too much. You know, Jerry said it um 387 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: and guys aren't comfortable on the field, then that's that's 388 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: where your primary job as a coach is making your 389 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 1: players comfortable on the field, and they have yet to 390 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: do that consistently. And that's why the rankings are where 391 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: they are, and the Cowboys are at the bottom of 392 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 1: the barrel whenever it comes to those rankings. And this 393 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: will be You're welcome, guys. I just wanted to let 394 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 1: that be known. But I mean, this is gonna be 395 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: a conversation not only this week, but next week and 396 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 1: the week after and in to the offseason, because that's 397 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 1: how the conversation is going to continue to unfold. And 398 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: these last three games, I mean we talk we mentioned 399 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: yesterday players playing for their jobs. These coaches are coaching 400 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: their jobs as well, and they're trying to find a 401 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 1: way back here in twenty twenty one, or at least 402 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 1: somewhere on an NFL roster, in NFL staff, somewhere throughout 403 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: the league. But when we come back, you're on Talking Cowboys, 404 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: will continue this conversation.

I'm in the various streaming website Kyle Yeoman's 447 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: alongside our resident Super Bowl champion isaias Dan back, We've 448 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: got the great Cowboys inside, or Rob Phillips and at 449 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 1: college and pro football, Harrison here on talking Cowboys and 450 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: whether you're a beast.

So guys mentioned this a little 455 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 1: bit earlier in the week, but we didn't really get 456 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: a chance to go into it. But we saw Reggie 457 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: Robinson for one play, hey, for one stamp. We saw 458 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: him as a warner and it was a run play 459 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 1: to the other side. And we also saw another inactive 460 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 1: Bradley And I my question is to you, guys, what's 461 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 1: holding this back now? I mean, because earlier it was 462 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: kind of a fun little joke. It was a bit 463 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 1: of a bit let's let's see these guys. We want 464 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: to see him play. But whenever you're four and nine 465 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: and you're in the position where you are, where you're 466 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: a half a game from being eliminated out of the 467 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: NFC East Hunt, why is Reggie Robinson not available, and 468 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: where is Bradley and I at the same time, because Isaiah, 469 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 1: rob I don't I don't know. I don't know at 470 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: this point anymore where they could be made these something's 471 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: holding them back, Isaiah. Do you think of anything specific 472 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,239 Speaker 1: that could potentially be the case with those guys not 473 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: even remotely seeing snaps, especially right now without having seen practice. 474 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 1: The only thing that I could even remotely even point 475 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 1: to would be just their comprehension of the playbook, that's all. 476 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: And again that's just me guessing. I have no idea, 477 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: But if I had to guess anything, it would be 478 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 1: the comprehension of the playbook. Because we have literally went 479 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 1: down at least at the at least at the safety position. 480 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,880 Speaker 1: We went down to Dan. They're picking going to rob 481 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 1: Pee Island and grabbing somebody and and and he still 482 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: hasn't found a way to be on the field. So 483 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,360 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what's going on. I wish I could 484 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: see practice that have a better understanding Bradley and I. 485 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 1: I think there's just there's just too many guys in 486 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,639 Speaker 1: front of them right now. Honestly, I mean Randy Gregory 487 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: coming off of coming off suspension, on us of that 488 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: that obviously pushed him down even more. So. There's a 489 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 1: lot of events. There's a lot of guys that are 490 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: getting paid a good amount of money. You got guys 491 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 1: like Crawford that are in there, they're getting paid good 492 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: money that they have to play. They have to play 493 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,400 Speaker 1: them because they're paying them. So you know, unfortunately he's 494 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: just he just gets a red shirt. Ear But in 495 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 1: terms of the Robinson ordeal, I have no idea. Heckma, 496 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: so you go one play with Robinson and automatically you 497 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 1: get the hook and pull them out. That's a and 498 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: to me, I mean in similar situations like that, it 499 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 1: just see it sounds like what I said said, the 500 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 1: coaches don't trust them, and but how do they trust 501 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: those other guys that we see getting beat on just 502 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: simple slam routes. You know, look, I've always been that 503 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,360 Speaker 1: person that felt like the coaches and as much time 504 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: as they spend evaluating players that I know I'm starting 505 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: to sound like a broken record on this, but that's 506 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:47,640 Speaker 1: just how I feel. I think they do a good 507 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: enough job Monday to Sunday doing the evaluations and to me, 508 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: if that guy had anything in them that they felt 509 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: like would be useful on game day, he'd be in there. 510 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,439 Speaker 1: So you know, maybe this is a red shirt year 511 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 1: for him to pick up the playbook. And you know, 512 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: all things being considered when we talk about Mike McCarthy 513 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: and Mike Nolan and all the coaches that are gonna 514 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,199 Speaker 1: come back, we have to keep put into consideration that 515 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: guys like Reggie Robinson may have benefited greatly from OTAs 516 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: and everything else that he was not a part of. 517 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: So look, I just feel like and even we're going 518 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 1: to Bradley and nine, I think again, Randy Gregory emerging 519 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: on the roster and also Dorrence Armstrong. I think they 520 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: believe more in those guys and you see them staying 521 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: with them. But again, even those young guys are getting 522 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,120 Speaker 1: reps on special teams. So it's not all for nine. 523 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,439 Speaker 1: And we still have a couple more games left and 524 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 1: you may get your wish, Kyle, I hope. So yeah, Kyle, 525 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a little Lloyd Christmas here. So 526 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: you're saying there's a chance because because Mike Mike Nolan 527 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,439 Speaker 1: kind of left the door open yesterday. He said he 528 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 1: said they talk about him every week like they have 529 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,959 Speaker 1: the discussion should he be up, should they give him 530 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 1: an opportunity? And it's what you guys said. Mike basically said, 531 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: you know, when Randy came back, they played the same position, 532 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 1: so uh, it's a it's a numbers thing. Unfortunately, they 533 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,360 Speaker 1: said it's nothing he's done wrong in practice, he's practiced well. Uh. 534 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: I didn't get the same vibe when when Mike Nolan 535 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: was asked about Reggie Robinson yesterday, he talked about how, um, 536 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: let me give you the quote. I wish we actually 537 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 1: had the cut, but he said, um, you know, he 538 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 1: just needs to continue to practice, work hard, and when 539 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,120 Speaker 1: his opportunity strikes, he needs to answer the bell, which good, 540 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: we will. Yeah, that's not good. That's good. That sounds 541 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: like I mean and we're reading the lines, but that 542 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: sounds like you're not seeing enough on the on the field. 543 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: The other thing, the other thing that Mike Nolan said though, 544 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,919 Speaker 1: was that they're working him at corner and safety. And 545 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 1: I know that Mike McCarthy has said since training camp 546 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: they want their dbs to be able to play everywhere. 547 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: But but you know, if you have a rookie that 548 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 1: that a draft pick coming in who played corner his 549 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 1: entire college career. Uh, maybe maybe pick one and let 550 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 1: him get comfortable one thing. Maybe that's maybe that's you know, 551 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,919 Speaker 1: affecting his development a little bit. I don't know. Stephen 552 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 1: Jones was on the fan yesterday and said, look, just 553 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 1: remember Tristan Hill. We talked about the same stuff with 554 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,159 Speaker 1: Tristan Hill last year, and look how he developed. So 555 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: give him time. He might very well developing him. I 556 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 1: could talk to that because when I got drafted by 557 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, I was a quarterback and I came in 558 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: and I show up and I was still injured, and 559 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 1: by the time I touched the field, it was camp 560 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 1: and they didn't have time to teach me how to 561 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,640 Speaker 1: play receiver. They didn't have time. They had to get 562 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 1: guys ready, right, had to get te O ready, Terry Glenn, 563 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: you know, you know Patrick Crayden, you know Sam her 564 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: Miles Ass and all these guys. All these guys had 565 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: to get ready to play in the game. They didn't 566 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: have time to be teaching the rookie how to play receiver. 567 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 1: So a lot of that stuff I had to try 568 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: to figure out on my own. So if he is, 569 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: you know, obviously he's coming in as a safety. But 570 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: he's playing, you know, coming in as a corner and 571 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 1: going too safety. It's a it's a whole new it's 572 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 1: a whole new area, right. A lot of peoples like, oh, 573 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: it's still just a secondary. It's totally different. Your reads 574 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: are different, your eyes are different, your rank, you're you know, 575 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 1: you're you're space, you're you're where you're adding space or 576 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: pro reception, all that stuff is different. So um, you know, 577 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: give Hi, give him some time, give him some time. 578 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 1: It'll come around. But you know they don't. They didn't 579 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: have the offseason to give him reps to get more 580 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: comfortable there. But when your coach tells you you need 581 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: to answer to Bill when when your numbers call it, 582 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: that sounds like he's probably laying an egg in practice somewhere. Yeah, 583 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: I talked to UM. I talked to Reggie's position coach 584 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: at Tulsa a few months back, Aaron Fletcher, and he said, 585 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 1: I mean he was I think he was a safety 586 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: in high school, but yeah, he was a he was 587 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 1: their top corner. Like go go just whoever the best 588 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: receiver is, go cover him and shut him down. Cortland, Sudden, 589 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: whoever it was in that conference he's a corner, you know, 590 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: and so if you're trying to convert him to safety, 591 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: I think that's probably part of it. But yeah, you 592 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: know you've got to heck, you said it. I mean, 593 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: you gotta do enough in practice to where the coaches 594 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: trust you, and that probably is not the case. Shit, 595 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: And I think that's where I'm frustrated because with Bradley 596 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: and I kind of get it right, You kind of 597 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: get it because there's people in front of you. Either, 598 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: there's other guys. There's Randy Gregory, there's Dorn's Armstrong, There's 599 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 1: guys there. So if he's not getting snaps, then it's 600 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: because those other guys are earning those snaps. But with 601 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: Reggie Robinson, like Isaiah said, we're going out to rob 602 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 1: Pe Island to grab a guy. I mean, we were 603 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: a couple. We were one more strained calf away from 604 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 1: putting the team manager out there to play corner. So 605 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: why is Reggie Robinson last on that list? That's just 606 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: where I have that confusion, And like you said, maybe 607 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: it is. I mean that's pretty uh, that's pretty worrisome. 608 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: Hearing from Mike Nolan saying that he has to take 609 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 1: advantage whenever those opportunities pop up, because I mean, that's 610 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: coach peak for saying he hasn't taken advantage, you know, 611 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: but yeah, absolutely right. But you know when you're playing 612 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: a game such as we just played where you where 613 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: you blow a team out like that, and you you 614 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: you know you can afford a couple of plays like 615 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 1: even though you're playing a soft show defense anyway, guess 616 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: what you play corner, Get out there, play there, get 617 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 1: out there. I can say there's times in a game 618 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 1: where they threw me out there at gunner. They threw 619 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 1: me out there at all different positions and I've never played, 620 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: ever played. I can remember playing in a play playing 621 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 1: for New England, playing against the dog on Saints, and 622 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: we're in there in that place as rocking as you 623 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 1: guys can imagine, and somebody somebody got hurt and they're like, 624 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,479 Speaker 1: I said, here, get in there, get in there on 625 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: the front line a kickoff return. I'm like, I've never 626 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,719 Speaker 1: even taking one repid practice in this he So they 627 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: showed me a piece of paper, They're like, hey, do 628 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 1: this right here. I'm like, all right, so I'll run 629 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: out there, and a guess you run out there and 630 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: guess what. I went out there and I handled and 631 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: I did exactly what I was supposed to do. So 632 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: guess what I played the rest of the year. Do 633 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 1: you hit a guy? You know what I'm saying, Get 634 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: not just I mean, i had never in my life 635 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: taking a rep and I'm playing on the front line 636 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: a kickoff return. It's hard usually as a kickoff returner, right, 637 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: but playing on the front line a kickoff return I was. 638 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: I was because of my size and my speed. I 639 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 1: could be a returner, I could be in a front line, 640 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 1: I could whatever. So they put me on a front 641 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 1: line on that play and I had to run back 642 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: set my feed. There's a lot of technique that's associated 643 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 1: with playing that position. It's hard. It's not like that 644 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: NFL now where seventy eighty percent of the kicks go 645 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: out the end zone. This was every every kick was 646 00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 1: dating there being returned and I made I made the 647 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 1: play right. I do what I was supposed to do. 648 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 1: I did my assignment, do your job, nothing special, just 649 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: did my job. And from that one play that I 650 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: had never practiced before, I played that the rest of 651 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 1: the year. So you know, put him out there. So 652 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: what he's so what he hasn't handy reps at corner 653 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: this year. Guess where that's what he did. That's what's 654 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 1: his DNA. If you're blows a team out, throw him 655 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 1: out there, let's see what he has. Let's just see 656 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: him compete. They didn't even see him compete. Yeah, that's all. 657 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: That's called answering the bill. That's called answering. The bill said, yeah, 658 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 1: answer the bell. And I just don't think that this 659 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 1: coaching staff has the confidence that he will answer the bell. 660 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 1: I mean, you think about the quarterback position, and you 661 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: said it in a blowout? What could possibly go wrong 662 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: if you're in zone coverage and your guy goes across 663 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 1: the field and a crossing route, you know to stay 664 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: in your zone. You've been playing that since high school? Right, No, 665 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: I don't know that. There has to be some other 666 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 1: things going on, And I think in the off season 667 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: will have a better opportunity to evaluate this player. True, 668 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: And when we come back here on Talking Cowboys, we're 669 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 1: gonna talk about the potential and the percentage that the 670 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: Cowboys could win out and get back to seven wins. 671 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: And maybe Reggie Robinson's a part of that. Maybe Bradley 672 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: and I is probably not. We're probably not gonna see 673 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 1: them if we didn't see him against Cincinnati, so my 674 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 1: my hopes are shot. But we're gonna talk about percentages 675 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 1: when we come back.

Now 717 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:00,720 Speaker 1: I want to give you, guys. We've only got about 718 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 1: four or five minutes left in the show, and I 719 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 1: want a percentage from you guys. What is the percentage 720 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 1: that the Cowboys win out the final three games of 721 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,440 Speaker 1: the season San Francisco Sunday, New York next week, and 722 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 1: then we've got Philadelphia coming up or excuse me, I 723 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,719 Speaker 1: flipped those Philadelphia's next week and then New York to 724 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 1: round out the season. But what is the percentage that 725 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 1: the Cowboys went out? And then I want a second percentage, 726 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,279 Speaker 1: what's the percentage that they win to division which means 727 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 1: that Washington would have to lose out as well. And 728 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,279 Speaker 1: this is just to get a gauge going into the 729 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,759 Speaker 1: rest of the week in our preparation of San Francisco 730 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 1: and kind of how we're looking at things and maybe 731 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,800 Speaker 1: even from a coaching staff conversation standpoint. But heck no, 732 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,920 Speaker 1: We're gonna start with you. Where is your percentage right 733 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: now in terms of the Cowboys winning out and winning 734 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 1: to the division. I'm standing in Tostito's plaza right now, 735 00:36:55,000 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 1: going back to the FunTown RV. Man. That's it's a 736 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,719 Speaker 1: tough one. Um. I don't have a lot of faith 737 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 1: that we win out. It just I just don't. And 738 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:06,879 Speaker 1: I feel like the other teams they have so much 739 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 1: more to be playing for. UM. So I mean I 740 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,759 Speaker 1: give it, oh god, man, like twenty five percent. I'm 741 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,719 Speaker 1: just I'm just throwing out a number on that to 742 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 1: win out no to to no? Yeah, okay division? Yeah, okay, 743 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,399 Speaker 1: Well I was asking for two separate numbers there. But 744 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,279 Speaker 1: that's okay, Isaiah, where are you going? Where are you 745 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,280 Speaker 1: going with on this one? I'll take thirty three percent 746 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 1: and five percent? Sir? Okay, okay, explain your reasoning. Uh 747 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 1: thirty three percent, I think we win one of those 748 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 1: three games, um, and then uh five five percent because 749 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,920 Speaker 1: if we if we do win, uh you know, a 750 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,359 Speaker 1: game or two. I don't think I don't see any 751 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,239 Speaker 1: of all those other teams losing out I don't see Washington, 752 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 1: in New York and Philly all just losing out. So 753 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 1: the chances are really slammed that will win win a division. 754 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:03,920 Speaker 1: What's the game that we would win out of those three? Philadelphia, 755 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 1: really that would have probably been the one, one of 756 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:08,839 Speaker 1: the ones that I would say that you wouldn't win, 757 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,000 Speaker 1: especially if Jalen Hurts still plays the way that he 758 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 1: played last week. Yeah, I think they find a way. 759 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,239 Speaker 1: They find a way. I think they I think they're 760 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,240 Speaker 1: they're discontent. Their displeasure of the Giants will will carry 761 00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:26,080 Speaker 1: them through. Okay, okay, Rob I went to a M 762 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:27,759 Speaker 1: so I don't I'm not good with percentages, but I 763 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,279 Speaker 1: would say, um, you know, I think they got a 764 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:31,920 Speaker 1: chance to win two out of three. I really do. 765 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 1: I think they can win their last two division games. Um. 766 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 1: I don't see New York is is playing better, but 767 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 1: from a from just a personnel standpoint, I don't. I 768 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:43,959 Speaker 1: don't look at their roster and say they can't beat 769 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:49,200 Speaker 1: that team. Um. Same with Philly especially. I think Jalen Hurts. Definitely, 770 00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,560 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts has given them a spark though, so they 771 00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,920 Speaker 1: might be a very different team in two weeks. The 772 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: San Francisco game I worry about because the way they 773 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 1: run the football no matter who's back there, So that's 774 00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,880 Speaker 1: gonna be And when Mike Nolan said yesterday that their 775 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:08,920 Speaker 1: scheme is like Cleveland scheme, like Washington scheme, I'm like, 776 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 1: oh boy, okay, well see how that goes. But look, 777 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,360 Speaker 1: they took a step forward last week, So we'll see 778 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,800 Speaker 1: what was the percentage on the second one, just winning 779 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,440 Speaker 1: the division? Just winning the division. I'll go with Isaiah 780 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,919 Speaker 1: like five percent. Like all all it takes is one 781 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,480 Speaker 1: win by Washington and if and if Alex Smith is 782 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,200 Speaker 1: going to be back and healthy, I like their chances 783 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:32,040 Speaker 1: of winning another game. They're starting to put it together. Defensively, 784 00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:36,080 Speaker 1: they look pretty good. Yeah, it's pretty incredible to see 785 00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 1: what kind of defensive fronts that the NFC East is 786 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 1: kind of putting together. And I'm gonna ask the question 787 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,879 Speaker 1: tomorrow because I think we need more time on this, 788 00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,799 Speaker 1: but is the defensive fronts that we've seen from Philadelphia 789 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:51,879 Speaker 1: that dominated New Orleans on Sunday, from Washington that we've 790 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,040 Speaker 1: seen all year? And then also, I mean New York's 791 00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,279 Speaker 1: defensive front is not not too shabby as well. And 792 00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,200 Speaker 1: I'm going to ask the question tomorrow is this in 793 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,719 Speaker 1: retaliation or not retaliation? But is this an adjustment made 794 00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:07,520 Speaker 1: by the other divisional opponents to what our offensive line 795 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:11,080 Speaker 1: looked like previously, in what the Cowboys had as an 796 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,080 Speaker 1: offensive line in the past. And so we're gonna talk 797 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,239 Speaker 1: about that a little bit tomorrow. But that's gonna do 798 00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:19,239 Speaker 1: for us here on Talking Cowboys on this Tuesday. So 799 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,960 Speaker 1: glad you've been with us here over the last forty 800 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,800 Speaker 1: five minutes, make sure and join us again tomorrow nine thirty. 801 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,799 Speaker 1: We'll take a look at the offense of San Francisco 802 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,960 Speaker 1: and how they've been faring over the last couple of 803 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,920 Speaker 1: weeks and how they could go up against this Cowboys 804 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,680 Speaker 1: defense that maybe getting some guys back this week, and 805 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,560 Speaker 1: we'll talk about that as well. But for Heck Harrison, 806 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,200 Speaker 1: for Rob Phillips and isaiahs dan Back, as well as 807 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,480 Speaker 1: Chris beam Back at the Star holding Down the Fort 808 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 1: on Kyle Yeoman saying so long from the s WBC 809 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:51,520 Speaker 1: Mortgage Studios.
