00:00 The Cowboys have their playoff berth. What do you think is their biggest weakness as they eye the postseason?
00:05 You know, we talk a lot about the running game.
00:07 And that's got to be... I think it not only has to be crisp.
00:13 I think one of the things that's lacking, if you remember Tony Pollard last year,
00:16 it wasn't just, "Sure, he can run between the tackles." He proved that, which he did.
00:20 It was the explosives. 20, 30, 40, 60.
00:25 And those are fun to watch, too, if you're a fan.
00:27 Right. And they tilt the field, they tilt the scoreboard, and they're demoralizing for the opponent.
00:34 It's a quick score on the ground. It's a conservative quick score.
00:37 The Cowboys haven't had a mountain of those this year.
00:41 Can you fix that? If you can, do it.
00:44 And then the penalties, especially pre-step penalties, that in some cases come as a result,
00:50 "Oh, maybe it's because I'm so intense. Maybe it's because I lack focus."
00:53 And we've spent a lot of time on Micah Parsons. We've talked a lot to Micah Parsons.
00:57 And I think the organization might need to talk to him, too.
01:00 It's really fun and funny that you've got a podcast, and you've got social media,
01:04 and you've got jokes about officiating and criticisms of this, and Taylor Swift.
01:10 Who should be the MVP? Focus. Focus, and maybe we won't jump off sides on a critical play against Detroit.
01:18 Pre-step penalties, penalties in general, this has over the course of Mike McCarthy's time here,
01:23 and this is one of the few negative trends, they are among the penalty leaders all the time.
01:29 And that won't do in the playoffs either.
01:32 Nope.
