00:00I'm going to give you mine real quick. I haven't gone. Um, I don't know the percentages, but
00:06there's a number of people. I think I'm going to name some names here. Uh, John Bates had
00:10a fumble. You just, you're trying to come back in a game that you never should have
00:15been this far down the line and you cannot fumble in that situation. Yeah. We've talked
00:19about it at length with Austin cyber. You were really good before the hip injury. I
00:24don't know what happened yesterday. If it is just a one-off, you know, sometimes it
00:28feels like the world is caving in on you. I know that feeling and it had to feel like
00:32that for him yesterday, but the performance has to be better Kingsbury. Um, you're in
00:38charge of the play calling dude. And there's just, you get gifted field position. The amount
00:44of gifts that were handed to this Washington team in the first half that we're not taking
00:48advantage of is, is just, it's a boring, like it's not winning football. Um, I thought Dallas
00:55did a really good job blitzing and rushing with their front. I, the old line's gotta
01:00be better. I know the injuries are piling up, but I was pretty surprised by that. Noah
01:04Igben Agony to killer pass interference calls, both of which were pretty legit. Um, you match
01:11that with Benjamin St. Juice on the deep ball, the ability for them to get a, I think it
01:16was a field goal just before halftime. Um, you lose three in a row and this one you lose
01:21to a team that's three and seven, the head coach got to take some ownership.
01:25I got DQ on my list. Um, I thought the D line Dallas had not been able to run the ball whatsoever.
01:32And maybe it's an oversimplification to go at the D line for this, but Rico Dowdle, um,
01:39went 19 for 86 average four and a half per carry yesterday. They were able to, they were
01:45able to run the ball pretty well. And that is a recurring theme for the Washington defense.
01:51Um, something's got to be better there. And then lastly, I, I, I suppose this stat exists
01:59somewhere and I could try to look it up, right? You give up not one, but two kickoff return
02:06for touchdowns. That is unacceptable. And I get the last one was it on that side? More
02:13just like Jaden's last interception desperation. I, the last pick that shouldn't even count
02:17to me, but I hear you, but the Turpin one's unbelievable. Yeah, it is. You know, you got
02:22one of the best return men. I don't know. I don't love the decision to kick the Turpin.
02:27I don't love the coverage, all of it. But like the kickoff coverage has to be on this
02:30list and that's it. If the coverage stayed in their lanes, they make that tackle.
