00:00Minshew on second and short will give it to Algier and he breaks through everybody across the 50.
00:05He breaks through Durant. He's still going to the 30, to the 20.
00:09Can you believe it, Algier? To the house. How about that?
00:15How about that for Tyler Algier? 63 yards and we got a game.
00:21Another get-right opportunity. You need to pad your stats. You need to turn into Josh Allen.
00:26You just faced Christian Parker. Star down. Star down. Brought to you by Wild Fork Foods.
00:32Every Cowboy Monday here on Sean and RJ. Wild Fork Foods, your elite game day grilling.
00:39Tyler Algier came into this game with 176 yards on the season.
00:47Per game, right?
00:50176 total in all these games played. And he rips off 113 on two damn plays.
00:59And he owns the Lakers, too.
01:01The Cowboys are effing around offensively. We're good.
01:06You know, what you saw is not Matt Ibraflus-liked defensively.
01:10We're early days Dan Quince. You know, Von Miller's out there. He got a sack. He's our new Micah.
01:14And then all of a sudden, Algier has the 63-yarder to make it 17-10.
01:21That was the worst part of Broaddus' afternoon, though.
01:23When Von Miller did get that sack. That did upset him.
01:26Then on third down, the old New York Giants swing pass to the left.
01:31Algier, he catches that. Sets up first and goal.
01:34And then his third. This man.
01:37So the week before, Saquon has one leg.
01:40Yeah.
01:40He's ripping you apart with one hamstring.
01:45Algier can't breathe.
01:47No. No, he could not.
01:48He's dying out there because of all the injuries that they sustained.
01:52And then on third down, after ripping off the long plays, he goes through Downs and Durant.
01:59Yeah.
02:00Punishes both of them at the goal line.
02:03Caleb Downs eventually in this game leaves with a concussion.
02:07And Durant and his 160-pound soaking wet get run through 24-17.
02:13Algier takes over the game after they switch quarterbacks.
02:16And it's like, there were parts of this game, like, I look at this, when I see you score 30
02:22points,
02:23I can't play on the offense.
02:24And then I see you give up 30 points.
02:25Well, I have to play on the defense.
02:26And I really count it as 23 points, but more on that.
02:28More on that later.
02:30Oh, are you talking about the setup, the short field setup after the interception?
02:33On the five.
02:34I got the ball on the five.
02:35And it still took – look, man, in these moments, I have no faith,
02:41and I think the numbers will bear out how bad they are in the red zone.
02:45That's what Schottenheimer said afterwards.
02:46I want to look at the red zone.
02:49They have nothing that they go to that can work.
02:51They want to run Javante.
02:53And then I don't know whether the fade route scared Schottenheimer early in the season.
02:58I just feel like they are not going to convert.
03:00As bad as Arizona has been on the season, at 1.1 of 12, after Caleb Downs and company stopped
03:07them on the goal line,
03:10the Cowboys, I have a worse feeling about them – the same feeling – about them inside the 10 of
03:16the five
03:16than I do the defense on third down.
03:19And it took, I think, Dak running it.
03:21Dak had to, like, break.
03:22He did.
03:23Yeah, he had to break routine and get that into the end zone.
03:25Otherwise, I was like, here we go.
03:27We're going to have another fourth down failure here or a field goal.
03:30So I view it as 23-point score.
03:32I don't give those seven points to the offense.
03:33But that's just me.
03:34Go ahead.
03:35And that's fine.
03:35Like, it's – you know, but you think when you put up 30, you're going to win that game.
03:40And even 23, you don't think you're going to necessarily – it's not a given.
03:43But – and then you look at the defense, you give up 30 or 33 now, and it's like, okay,
03:49well, you're definitely going to lose that game, and that's on the defense.
03:52And it all comes back to the head coach.
03:54Well, after by far the best you felt after a first half defensive.
03:58Absolutely.
03:58Not even close.
03:59If I told you –
04:00My star up is loaded with defense first half.
04:03If I told you before the game you were going to get Arizona's backup,
04:09they would lose their top two running backs.
04:12They would lose their receiver, who looked like he was going to do work on you early on,
04:17their number two receiver.
04:19And then they would lose their left tackle.
04:21Yeah.
04:22And you still lost to the Arizona Cardinals in Arlington after those five losses.
04:27And you were up 17-3.
04:29And Trey McBride did really nothing for like three quarters.
04:32Absolutely.
04:33I mean, this is such a demoralizing loss.
04:38And, I mean, it could have been avoided simply.
04:41But the problem is it could have been avoided back in June, back in May, back in the offseason
04:47when they were making changes.
04:48Not right now.
04:50Could have been avoided with what?
04:53I'm not saying you're wrong.
04:54I'm just saying with what?
04:55What do you mean?
04:56I mean, different personnel, different coaches.
04:58I mean, there's a lot of things that went wrong.
05:01There could have been avoided.
05:01Well, they got a lot of different personnel and coaches.
05:04That's the right ones.
05:04I mean, I do think yesterday the people who play, like, I do think stuff yesterday,
05:08the example of like this was going okay at times was like people they have acquired in the last year.
05:13Like, Porter, Downs, I think Abonia's played well.
05:16Quinnen had some moments.
05:17Like, it is the people they've acquired.
05:20Stardown, Stardown, defending all of a sudden.
05:25Jamal Anderson.
05:26Well, wrong team.
05:27Arizona, Atlanta.
05:29Trying to think of a good, give me a good Cardinals back.
05:31Larry Centers.
05:32You turn Algier into Larry Centers all of a sudden.
05:35Stardown.
05:35Yeah, I mean, again, you can go across the board right here.
05:38I'm going to go Stardown to pass protection.
05:40I think that that was a big problem late in this game.
05:44Like, I mean, they were having some issues in general with pass protection throughout the day.
05:48It was never, we looked up at one point, and I think Dak was like 12 for 14.
05:52And we're talking about in the press box, like, this feels like he is not anywhere close to 12 for
05:5714.
05:57This feels like 20 incompletions.
05:59Could not agree more.
06:00I heard you say in the post.
06:01As I said, I tweeted at halftime, offense, get your head out of your ass.
06:05Do your damn job.
06:07Schottenheimer and Dak, try to show some semblance of an adjustment.
06:10And you come out in the third quarter.
06:11And then people are like, the announcer guy just said it was like his most efficient half in four years.
06:16And I was like, I don't care what the announcer guy says.
06:18It did not feel like it was whatever it was statistically.
06:22It just didn't feel it.
06:24And I heard you say that in the post, Bobby.
06:26And there you go.
06:28But forget about run.
06:30I mean, forget about just pass blocking.
06:32I mean, the offensive line overall deserves a big, fat star down.
06:36Absolutely.
06:36And you want to microcosm on the Cowboys' season.
06:38How?
06:39How could you play like that against Philadelphia and blow them off the ball and get Jalen Carter trade talks
06:48restarted in filthy
06:50and then come out and run block like you did with Javante?
06:54How?
06:55No.
06:56How could the offensive line have that much of a 180-degree performance with Javante?
07:01And it's not like this is some elite Arizona defense.
07:04I mean, they allowed 30 points in six games this year.
07:07Like, it's not a great defense at all.
07:09And they got way too much pressure on Dak, especially the second half.
07:14And it felt like it was your interior.
07:16Yeah.
07:17And Brian Schottenheimer, it reminded me of Garrett just, we're going to brick by brick break this thing down.
07:25I don't care what it takes.
07:26I'm going to ram my scadaboo head into these cement blocks, and it's going to crack.
07:33And I don't care how long it takes.
07:35We're going to expand the crack, and we're going to break it down.
07:37I thought Brian Schottenheimer said he wasn't going to bang his head into a wall.
07:42I thought we just had a discussion and talk about when to abandon.
07:48We just talked about it with him on Friday, and last week he just talked about not banging his head
07:53into a wall.
07:53That was the most maddening thing possibly offensively is the inside, straight-up-the-gut handoff to Javante.
07:59No possibility running outside.
08:02Nothing outside the tackles whatsoever.
08:04Right up the middle for nothing.
08:06A 2.1 to carry?
08:06It wasn't great blocking.
08:08It wasn't great blocking, but Javante Williams was either worn out or hurt.
08:13That dude was running.
08:14You would see stuff, he'd get the ball, and it's like, why does he look like he's running in sand?
08:18He looks so slow right now.
08:20And I know he's not super explosive, but he doesn't usually just hit the hole with no burst at all.
08:25They were at 2.4 a carry.
08:26I feel dirty rounding up to 2.5.
08:29I feel really dirty about that.
08:31I mean, and it's all over and over and over and over again.
08:35The same thing.
08:37Yeah, that same play, and there's no creativity with it.
08:40I know we get bogged down with creativity.
08:42I saw Chip Kelly run a play this week in college.
08:45He had a triple eye behind the tight end.
08:48Like, just something.
08:49Give me something unique.
08:50Just give me something more fun.
08:51Star down defensive penalties, man.
08:55That they had, I mean, all the freaking off-sides penalties in the first half by the defense.
09:04Getting duped on hard counts or whatever they were.
09:07Porter bailing them out on a third and 13 with a pass interference or defensive hold, I should say.
09:13Rashawn Gary.
09:14Gary, the helmet-to-helmet on Minshew.
09:16Rashawn Gary, it would have been fourth and 10.
09:19And he roughs the quarterback.
09:21First, it would have been fourth and 10.
09:24And McBride is wide open.
09:27Is it Wilson?
09:28Yeah, Michael Wilson.
09:29Wilson and McBride, wide open for their touchdowns as the McBride one made it 27-24 after Rashawn Gary was
09:37such a...
09:38I was thinking about giving Rashawn Gary a star up for this game.
09:41I'm noticing seven.
09:42I see seven.
09:43Maybe it's just the number that's jumping out to me.
09:44I had flashbacks.
09:45I was like, come on, Diggs.
09:46I'll see it over there.
09:47I'll see what PFF says in the morning about Rashawn, but...
09:50Oh, baby, let's go look.
09:51My God.
09:52Mind-numbingly stupid and undisciplined to go ahead and give him...
09:56And the Cowboys got more breaks in this game.
10:01Yeah, they did.
10:02With injuries and drops in the first half.
10:05The fumble.
10:07The ball where the Cowboys fumbled to get your own fumble and pick it up in the end zone?
10:11Yeah.
10:11I mean, that's a break.
10:12I have never heard of that player.
10:14I had no idea who he is.
10:16He had just been added to the roster.
10:18He'd been on the practice squad.
10:19I had to go ahead and look at it.
10:20Like, you have your quarterback in all this junk.
10:24You have a healthy quarterback.
10:26You are getting the majority of the breaks in these games, outside of the Giants game,
10:32with all the fumbles on the ground.
10:34And you're still just butchering it.
10:37You're peeing it all away.
10:40And they're just not good.
10:41I've always been saying it for weeks.
10:44It's not like...
10:44And I don't think any of us have pretended that they're good.
10:47It's like, all right, can you make the best of an awful division and bad situation?
10:52But more penalties, lining up, and then Rashawn with the person.
10:56Yeah, and then, you know, I don't generally put the penalties on the head coach.
11:02You know, there are some where, like, the play is not designed properly,
11:06or they've never run it, and they didn't prepare the guys well enough or whatever.
11:10But for the most part, I put the penalties on the player.
11:14This team seems to get penalized an awful lot, though.
11:17877-881-1053.
11:19In order to hit us up on the Franklin LaFranco injury attorney text line.
11:22It's going to be really hard not to pay Joey Porter after yesterday, either.
11:27Because I was just trying to look over exactly, like, I was just charting,
11:30looking at what his plays were.
11:31So they were getting gashed defensively in this game,
11:35especially in the second half.
11:36When Joey Porter was on the field yesterday,
11:39they allowed 92 yards on 34 plays.
11:42I mean, they were, like, they were pretty much locking them up.
11:45And that's the difference in terms of when they talk about,
11:48oh, how he can play defensively when he's in there.
11:50When he left the game after that,
11:51I got to see what the exact numbers,
11:53but, I mean, it was something obscene in terms of the amount of yards
11:56they were allowing per play.
11:57Well, it's always something with him so far.
12:01And I'm not making any Mooligeta accusations,
12:05but I wish he would have, like, sat on the bench
12:08and watched the rest of the game.
12:09It's something about just standing there while your team is getting bludgeoned,
12:13and I'm like, gut it out.
12:14Like, try to get out there, please.
12:17Please, Joey, I'm begging you.
12:18But I guess this is the ankle that we've been hearing about.
12:22But whether it's throwing up in a trash can,
12:24he gets sick, then an ankle, then a lingering ankle,
12:27and then he's back fine, and then he's back out again.
12:30And when he and Downs were not out there, it was over.
12:342.7 yards per play with Porter on the field, 8.5 with a moth.
12:38Just watching him stand up there, I'm like, come on, fight.
12:40Get out there.
12:41Get out there.
12:41Come on.
12:42Tolos on the fan text for stardown, stardown, Pepe.
12:45Yeah, all stardowns except for one.
12:472-1-4 says, start up to the cameraman,
12:48catching Jerry, saying the S-bomb at the end of the game there.
12:51So 6-8-2, stardown, Deron Bland.
12:536-8-2, stardown, Dax.
12:557-9-7-2, stardown, offensive line.
12:572-1-4, stardown to the whole team.
12:59Stardown, Blake Elliott, for sitting in the press box,
13:02literally right before the ball was snapped
13:04and Algier broke off the first touchdown.
13:06He said, this is pretty good.
13:06Finally broke that streak of allowing 20 points per game.
13:09And then, from then on out, it was screwed.
13:12Deron Bland, lowest graded player on PFF.
13:16Starter.
13:17Initially.
13:18They'll revise it this morning, and he may be 20 points different.
13:21I heard Jesse Holley say,
13:22I never want to see you play a game with the uniform again, Deron Bland.
13:27Get out.
13:28Please.
13:29Like, it shouldn't be that helpless
13:31that you go to that highly paid a guy
13:34that we thought was going to be the Diggs' number one replacement,
13:36and they're just, like, you have a mere speed out there,
13:40and you got dead bodies out there,
13:42and they're still going,
13:44Bland, where's Bland?
13:46We're targeting him.
13:48You would think, payroll-wise,
13:51that they'd go, like, even a little bit away from Bland
13:54when Joey Porter's out.
13:55Like, let's not go towards the guy making the most money.
13:57They did.
13:59Nonstop success.
14:00Nonstop success.
