Morning, Ed.

0:01.4

Good morning, gentlemen.

0:02.5

How are we?

0:03.6

Doing well.

0:04.9

You've seen a lot of different games over the last 30 years or so around here.

0:10.5

That Cowboys Giants game, man, what an upside down game that was.

0:17.0

And I guess one that the Cowboys were fortunate to win.

0:22.1

Well, it was certainly an entertaining fourth quarter with 41 points being scored and seven lead changes, which tied the most in NFL history.

You don't want to say must win in week two, although I did.

1:31.1

But I thought it was definitely essential for Brian Schottenheimer to be holding that game ball

1:36.7

and celebrating his first NFL victory under the circumstances.

1:41.0

So from what you've seen through a couple of weeks now, and in particular, this Giants game,

1:46.4

what is at the root of the problem or problems right now for this Cowboys defense?

1:52.0

Well, I think the first thing, you know, you have to keep in mind is that they were a terrible defense last year.
