00:00What was the ultimate backbreaker for this Cowboys season?
00:18Because I think a lot of them did you want to play the ultimate backfire?
00:23That's Dawson's favorite segment, by the way, because I know I'm sure a lot of people are
00:27going to say before the season even started.
00:29It's not mine, but I'm curious.
00:32What led you down this path?
00:35For all something and purposes, Kevin, this season's over.
00:44They have eight games left.
00:45They will play the eight games.
00:46They have nine people on IR right now.
00:50And their starting quarterback who, listen, you've talked about it a lot.
00:55Not all the resources are gone now, but the resources for the future definitely are in
01:01limbo.
01:02Yeah.
01:03This year, though, the you're you're going, OK, this guy is going to be relied upon to
01:08carry him and see the lamb.
01:10That dude's not there.
01:11And he wasn't playing good before the injury either.
01:14The team wasn't playing good.
01:16And so that a lot of people could probably put it on that.
01:19That's the back.
01:20That was the moment where it finally came to the right.
01:22That's it.
01:23There's lots of pinpoint areas on this team that I think you can look at and say, that's
01:28the moment for me, Kevin.
01:30It might be is a little before the season, but it's right around the time of the end
01:34of training camp.
01:35And that was when you decided to go with two rookies on your offensive line that probably
01:41aren't ready.
01:42And there's a possibility one of the left tackle might move to right tackle next year.
01:46Sure.
01:47And the possibility that maybe that that your center isn't the center for the future.
01:51But he's he's done a pretty good job.
01:52So when you made that decision, and Zach Martin fell off, you didn't know steel wasn't
01:58gonna be you really were like, Tyler Smith's there, baby.
02:02That's the that was the moment that I think broke this season because that is the linchpin
02:07for your offense playing well, that led to Dak Prescott's injury.
02:11Dak Prescott doesn't have to run around if that offensive line is good enough to produce
02:16with their running backs, and they're in their offense in general, he doesn't have to run
02:21around.
02:22He doesn't have to run around because of it.
02:23And the points on the board just weren't there.
