Pretty scream and deal. Okay, it's time to offer some Cowboys Twitter, top tweets going viral about America's team. What does Jerry Jones think about making a trade? Okay, Todd Archer with the tweet here. Since 2000, the Cowboys have started one or two or worse six times, and out of those six times, they made the playoffs once. What year was that? That was 2018. The turnaround was fueled by a trade, a trade for Amari Cooper. It's like he arrived and all of a sudden, the offense had relevance once again. It was a glorious finish to the season, and they made the playoffs. So Jerry was asked, what do you think about making a trade here, Jerry? Said, I love our quarterback, love our receiver, like our offensive line, frankly. I like some of the things we're doing in the defensive line. So I like our personnel, I say, all in on personnel. I like our personnel, I don't see personnel changes out here. I see everybody doing better and getting better. And those are the things that I look for. How do you explain Jerry having that sort of a take here? I just love what he said, like, I love our receiver. We have one that we love, and that's pretty clear. And even he yesterday was, I mean, I don't understand the emotional situation that goes on with CD sometimes, but we've seen it now quite a bit. A fumble wrecked him pretty good, I think. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know, though, Jerry's not going to this quickly into the season, admit that the roster he's put together has some obvious flaws in it. What do you guys think about? You know, I think he's just selling, you know, Jerry says it when my lips are moving, I'm selling. What do you think about the CD DAC thing and the Mica tank thing? Are we in consensus that it's just what happens when you lose and it becomes very frustrating? I can only speak from my experience. And I watched, I hated the press box. I hate the press box to this day. I appreciate having a seat. But if you let me watch the game from the field, I have a better feel for it. I have a better understanding of what's happening. I can't tell you how many times I watched players MF each other and coaches, MF players and players, MF coaches during a game to the point where, I mean, you're fearful. I remember one time a coach walked up to me and goes, Brian, I just saw my life before my eyes because he went after a player on the sidelines. And that player, you know, could have ended it for him right there. We've seen players and coaches get into altercations and stuff. It's rare. It's chaos in a way. It's not for the meek down there. And when things are going bad, it's even worse. Cause you, you know, now you're coming off, you're frustrated, you throw a helmet. Someone says, why are you throwing your helmet? And then, and then now you get into it. Now the coaches get into it with the players and the players get it. And, you know, we've seen what happened with what went on in Buffalo with digs and that situation with Josh during the playoffs, him and the coach are trying to make adjustments. And he's standing there screaming at him, you know, and Alan even looking up, he knows. You know, as if I look up and engage in this guy, it's not going to be good. - And that's when, that's when it can become an issue for your football team where it costs you a good player. Like the situation becomes untenable between two of your, your best guys. I, I think Dak and CD will put this behind them. I think Dak's enough of a pro, but when he says we need to be more professional, you can tell he would prefer that CD not do it. And I see Dak's point here. You know, I think CD does need to be more professional. - Well, you know, and the thing about it is Dak, and he has a responsibility. He stands up there in front and takes the arrows when it's good or when it's bad. I mean, he, he's the guy, but he's also, you know, he, CD needs to be more professional about it. You know, walking out after the game and leaving your teammates to have to answer all the questions about why is not a good look. And then today, you know, I don't know, I haven't seen any tweets or anything. - I talked to Nick Harris. He did not talk today either. - He did not, okay. So now he wasn't an open alarm. - Now it, now it gets, you know, now that this keeps getting worse. - Yeah, see that, that's where I agree. - You know, you need to handle the situation right then and there. - Sure. - You don't need to let this thing fester on. And you know, it's a short week and all that, but now what's hanging over everybody's head, you know, that CD hasn't said why. Maybe he's apologized to Dak and the coaches and the team or whatever. But yeah, to me, this-- - Part of apologizing would be coming out and speaking today though, you know. - You guys feel like they owe us anything on that though? - No. - You never do. See, that's what I always wonder because we say, I'm the same way. I'd like, well, you need to come out and say something. And then I think, well, he really doesn't owe me anything. You know, he's doing his job. I mean, if we have a bad show and I'm yelling at Eric, you know, I don't, I don't know anybody in response, but it's between Eric and I. - Sure. - If I start, you know, you wonder the longer he doesn't talk and say it's fine, the more it's like, is this a Josh Allen Stefan Diggs type spot? - I totally agree, but I'm just saying I, you know, in reality, he doesn't owe us that. - No. - But to-- - He owes his teammate that. - He owes Dak his leader back. - Exactly, it goes to that's part of being a pro, right? And that's what that's what that's saying. - That's what you're now paid. You've got your contract that that's part of your job responsibility, right? And to me, I agree with you overall where, and I said in the post-game show, I liked seeing some life and some passion and some frustration. Like, this isn't okay, we're getting our ass kicked. This is two weeks in a row at home. Like, I like to see that. I'm glad somebody showed it, but if it's then going to mentally frustrate CD to where he's now taking himself out of the game, basically, then that's where there's a problem. - Yeah, yeah, you know, and it's a, it's a story. If, you know, the guy looks at Dak and thinks I don't trust you to be good enough to get me the football. He obviously wants the football. He believes in himself. The Ravens showed up with a game plan to make sure CD lamb didn't beat them. And guys like Tolbert and Brooks couldn't win enough to make him pay off that Ferguson. Definitely won quite a bit. You know, that was one of the positives of the game. - Yeah, I saw Matt Owen and he put out the next gen numbers, the average. - Hey, Mike Vlinny here.

(upbeat music) - League separation, yards of separation for wide receivers is just under three yards of separation. And there wasn't a single cowboy that even hit that number. - Wow. - They were all either, I mean, branding cooks less than a yard of separation. Jalen Brooks barely over a yard. Jalen Tolbert two yards and CD two yards. So there's no separation. Your average players can't get it. And even your great wide receiver one couldn't get separation yesterday. And so some of that has to fall back on your design and your route concepts and how much as a play caller are you helping your wide receivers get open. - And ultimately, you know, it's going to come down to your defense being better. Michota with a tweet here from the athletic. Opposing quarterbacks combined pass a rating versus the Cowboys in the last three games at AT&T. 147.1. - Ooh. - But 158.3 is perfection. Nearly giving up. - They're flirting with it. Opposing starting running backs which is Jones, Camara, Henry averaging 128 rushing yards and three touchdowns per game. And the Cowboys, the defensive frustrations reaching new levels. I can't stop the run over the pass. - If I'm Dak, I'm like, dude, just chill out, bro. Okay, we got to aim our frustration at the defense. We're good. We'll get this figured out, right? I need a better number two and number three wide receiver. We need a running back. Until those things happen, chill. We're gonna be fine. But this is not the type of year where we need to get at each other's throats and ruin what's a good thing. We're quarterback and receiver of the Cowboys for the next half decade. Unless you're such a Richard, then I got to tell him to get rid of ya. We don't want that. Nobody wants that. This isn't a winning year. We have nothing at running back. Our defense is horrible to you. Just chill out, Brian. What do you think? - No, I think you're onto something. I mean, I think-- - Dak saying don't jump off the bandwagon. - Yeah, the thing-- - He's trying to rally the-- - That's publicly-- - Yeah, he's saying do. Please, please. - He's saying do. - He's saying do it. Please do. - He said if you want to jump off, jump off. - And then watch what happens, okay. - Can I be critical of how bad you guys suck without jumping off the bandwagon? Do you have to have like that? - I don't think you can't-- - It's funny to have that energy. Like, they're the victim here. - You can't talk about it how it comes to death. - You guys have embarrassed yourselves and the entire country, your America's team. And all you do is just - S in your helmet for the last three times that you've had a game at AT&T Stadium. - Yeah, the thing that bothers me the most is what I heard in the post game was the stuff about preparation. You know, and when the head coach talks about it, Dak talked about it, you know, you've got-- - You mentioned not practicing well all week. - Not practicing well all week. - We got to be detailed. - Yeah, see, that to me is the most concerning thing. The fact that you have guys, especially after what happened in the Saints game, that you have a situation where, and the Ravens aren't an easy team to play. But still, when you get three or four different people talk about preparation during the week, that to me is the big, this whole yelling at each other and all that, that's fine. But if you're telling me that they're not getting ready for games every week, that's more of a problem. - Bad look. - Lamed up coach. Maybe they're already tuning them out. - What fault is that? - I mean, I'm surprised. - That's Gary Jones's fault. - No question, no question. And we thought the Mike Zimmer stuff was gonna have it be more detailed, more buttoned up, more sound, more fundamentally. - Oh, those were all things I said. - No, no, I'm not saying you. I'm saying me. - No, I have to say that. - No, I said that I. - You did, yeah. - Absolutely. - It's just surprising that we're a couple of weeks in here. - It's not been buttoned up. They haven't done a very good job when it comes to playing run defense, and it's they don't play it in a way that you have to be, when you take chances or you make a blitz or you bring a guy down inside, you have to replace those things. You have to replace, if somebody is going to go, if all of a sudden Mike Parsons is on that crash, somebody's gotta replace him. Somebody's gotta be there 'cause if the ball spills backside to him, then you've gotta have somebody there. And they're not doing that. And that's on Mike too. That's on Mike, it's on him, it's on his players, and it's on the way they teach. If these players aren't getting it, there's something fundamentally wrong. And that's coaching. - Yeah, do you think Jason Garrett was saying this with a smile last night on NBC when he was talking about the Cowboys saying they're not a physical football team. Everyone understands this about the Cowboys now. You have to go in there and run the ball. The last two years, they were dominated home. I think teams have found the formula, run the ball, get ahead, and that's what silence is that pass rush. - He's right. If you've been that way for 12 years, he must have been. - He's this team. - Oh, another one. - He's been a lot of players that've come and gone in those 12 years. - They're built to play against 11 personnel. They're not built to play against 12. 21, 22. They're not built to play against teams that have full backs and big tight ends. The Ravens didn't motion you yesterday. Look at the motion numbers. Ravens had less motions than you did in that game. What do they do? They lined up and they kicked your ass. That's what they did. - The Cowboys will tell you we have to choose, right? Are we gonna build a beefy team or a fast team that rushes the passer and covers speedy wide receivers? They don't believe it's possible that you could have everything. And that's why they can't win playoff games. - You're not going to play against a quarterback like that every week. You're just not. I mean, that's why that guy's a two-time MVP. - Well, they looked lost. - They looked unprepared for him and his ability to run the football. - But that's fine. And if you get into, if Elvison, San Francisco, brings back Colin Kaepernick to play like that, then I'd be worried. You know, I would be worried. But to me, they have got to figure out how to play against teams that play with full backs and tight ends. That quarterback is rare. He is rare, but if you get somebody that could really, really run the football like the Saints did and they play with the full back and they play with tight ends, that team's going to put Dallas in a lot of trouble. - Golly, I hope they can beat the teams with more traditional offenses. You know, I think you can lean on that and see seven, eight, nine victories out of this year, but the schedule's tough. And there aren't a ton of winnable games. Other than the division, I think you look at Carolina. Well, if you look at, if you look at coming up, Pittsburgh. - Well, it's supposed to be a little bit easier, but now. - Yeah, look at Pittsburgh with that quarterback. You think they're going to watch your film and think, "Oh, let's just not run our quarterback." - No, Phil, it's going to roll over you. - Yeah. - Let's see how that works. - Well, let's see how crusty's corner goes today, buddy. What do you say? - Yeah, we've got to talk about some of these things I saw on the tape. We'll do that next. - Hey, Mike Vlini here. Hosted a cash to ticket alongside my partner, Jim Costa.
