0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:41.720
<v Speaker 1>Never wrote Chris fifteen weeks of the season. They've got

0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:45.040
<v Speaker 1>it on time. Finally, Hey, he's he's a late bloomer man,

0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 1>but I like it. He's good. But he has the

0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:55.400
<v Speaker 1>same philosophy as coach McCarthy. They remember when you get

0:00:55.400 --> 0:01:00.120
<v Speaker 1>to ten wins, Now you can start talking fight song Monday,

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:03.960
<v Speaker 1>fight song Friday. And the Cowboys with ten wins on

0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:07.959
<v Speaker 1>the season in command and the NFC East with a

0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:12.319
<v Speaker 1>chance to clinch the division. Mickey Spagnola Tomorrow night when

0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:19.200
<v Speaker 1>the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington football team tie, got

0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>a Goolnick in the publication. That's the only way I

0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:28.440
<v Speaker 1>figured out that that has a point four percent chance

0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:31.200
<v Speaker 1>of happening. Point four. So you're telling me there's a

0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 1>chance point four point four because there's been one tie

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 1>this year in two hundred and eight games. Well, so

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:43.640
<v Speaker 1>that's it. That's that means we're due for a time,

0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:48.240
<v Speaker 1>due for a tie? Absolutely? The uh the what is

0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:51.160
<v Speaker 1>it the saying that you always have about in the NFL,

0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:55.160
<v Speaker 1>the more you win and lose, the closer yard of time.

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, yeah, stuff is my fucking brain. I'm gonna

0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:05.360
<v Speaker 1>say that about that. While in running the marathon, there's

0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:07.800
<v Speaker 1>been a winner and a loser in two hundred and

0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:11.480
<v Speaker 1>seven games, Beach were closer to a tie? Real, why

0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:15.079
<v Speaker 1>not tomorrow night when Washington plays Philadelphia. I've been hanging

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:18.559
<v Speaker 1>around you guys way too long. We got a doubleheader

0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Monday night and a well sort of a doubleheader Tuesday.

0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 1>There were games we playing at the same time on Tuesday.

0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 1>That's right, So can we watch both of them? You

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:31.400
<v Speaker 1>can tonight tonight now I'm probably at a local sports bar.

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:35.160
<v Speaker 1>You could watch both tomorrow night maybe. Oh so they

0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:39.120
<v Speaker 1>are both on Fox, both on Fox. So if I

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:42.000
<v Speaker 1>have two TVs, I can watch them. Well, you've got

0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.239
<v Speaker 1>to be able to get your in the Central time zone.

0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:46.400
<v Speaker 1>You'll be getting that feed and then you can pirate

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.640
<v Speaker 1>another one. Maybe. But let's get to the story of

0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:53.120
<v Speaker 1>the day, and that is your Dallas Cowboys have ten

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.519
<v Speaker 1>wins they are ten and four right now, a three

0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:59.400
<v Speaker 1>and a half game lead in the NFC East and

0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:04.160
<v Speaker 1>all as well. Right as far as I'm concerned, it is.

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:08.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure there's a bunch of folks out there that

0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 1>don't like how the Cowboys got to ten winning these

0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:18.079
<v Speaker 1>three consecutive games. But they are at ten, and as

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:22.920
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to remind people, just go ask Tampa Bay

0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:25.600
<v Speaker 1>if they would have liked to win that game ten

0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:30.880
<v Speaker 1>to nine, right, Go ask Arizona Baltimore and Arizona in

0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:35.119
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee and all these teams that have had close shaves

0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 1>and lost. Yeah, you'd rather win. However, you can win

0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 1>in these in these close games in December and get

0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:48.119
<v Speaker 1>to ten wins, which is the most wins the Cowboys

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 1>have had, and the second they had ten in twenty

0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 1>eighteen won the division. They had thirteen in twenty sixteen

0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:02.840
<v Speaker 1>and won the division, and they had eleven in twenty

0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:06.160
<v Speaker 1>fourteen in one the division. So if you look at

0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:09.640
<v Speaker 1>what the Cowboys have done over the last eight years,

0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:13.520
<v Speaker 1>they've won four division titles or I'm assuming they're gonna

0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:16.719
<v Speaker 1>win this one. That's more than any other team in

0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 1>the NFC East during that period of time. So I

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:23.640
<v Speaker 1>know all the whoe is us? You haven't won a

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl, But it hasn't been all, you know, just

0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:32.080
<v Speaker 1>a disaster. And how about this? I found this little

0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:39.680
<v Speaker 1>statum during the timeouts the breaks of the game. I

0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:43.279
<v Speaker 1>started researching it. This is you weren't at the game.

0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 1>You were at home. I was at home. Are here right? Okay? Yeah?

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:54.200
<v Speaker 1>This is like Yes. The last time the Cowboys won

0:04:54.720 --> 0:05:00.359
<v Speaker 1>three consecutive games, all played on the road in a

0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:05.960
<v Speaker 1>single season went three and Ozero nineteen sixty nine. Wow,

0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:12.599
<v Speaker 1>was the last time They've played three consecutive games, week

0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:15.839
<v Speaker 1>by week by week on the road eleven times, and

0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:18.920
<v Speaker 1>only three times have they won them all. This was

0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:23.760
<v Speaker 1>the third. The first was nineteen sixty four, and then

0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:27.040
<v Speaker 1>the second time nineteen sixty nine. Dank, So I couldn't

0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:31.159
<v Speaker 1>do it? Huh no? And eighty three. I believe you

0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:36.880
<v Speaker 1>went two and one with that opportunity. And the last

0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:39.640
<v Speaker 1>time the Cowboys had the opportunity was two thousand and

0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.360
<v Speaker 1>six and they went two and one. So you did

0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:47.800
<v Speaker 1>all that research during one timeout, I said, timeouts, that

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:51.680
<v Speaker 1>was plural. He was he was dogged because he continued

0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:56.200
<v Speaker 1>as the Cowboys dominated. Then the next break, he was continued,

0:05:56.640 --> 0:06:00.240
<v Speaker 1>you picked it back up again, right aft. And I

0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.600
<v Speaker 1>believe in this game I was stubborn. I was stubborn

0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:06.600
<v Speaker 1>because I said, you stubborn. I'm surprised to hear that

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:10.880
<v Speaker 1>I could. I could have easily probably emailed Scott A.

0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:13.919
<v Speaker 1>Goulnick and he's got a stat package so site that

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:17.600
<v Speaker 1>he can plug stuff in some research. So after I

0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:20.000
<v Speaker 1>did it all, I said, okay, I need backup now

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.040
<v Speaker 1>in case I missed one. There you go, and he

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:25.200
<v Speaker 1>researched it and that's what came up. So well, it

0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:29.000
<v Speaker 1>was a boring game. Yeah, I love that. I love

0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:32.640
<v Speaker 1>boring games. As a defender. Uh, you know, when we

0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:35.279
<v Speaker 1>played the Flex, we made it way too exciting in

0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:38.000
<v Speaker 1>our secondary. Kind of liked this secondary a bit. We

0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:40.560
<v Speaker 1>made our played that we gave up too many just

0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:44.159
<v Speaker 1>for comfort's sake. When I went to the Giants, we

0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 1>were a little bit more defense oriented. You know. It

0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:50.520
<v Speaker 1>was that old school New Jersey type of playing ball

0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:55.040
<v Speaker 1>and those third down stops. As boring as it looked

0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:58.960
<v Speaker 1>on TV, the culture there, it was exciting for the fans.

0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.240
<v Speaker 1>But when you're watching a game where the defense is

0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:05.520
<v Speaker 1>just dominating, that boying is what you look forward to

0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:08.400
<v Speaker 1>if it's your defense playing as well as I was

0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 1>just playing. I want to talk about that a little bit.

0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:16.760
<v Speaker 1>But first off, your three game stretch in nineteen sixty nine,

0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:19.960
<v Speaker 1>I just looked it up. Those were three straight road games, second, third,

0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:22.960
<v Speaker 1>and fourth week of the season against New Orleans, Philadelphia,

0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:28.040
<v Speaker 1>and Atlanta. So were they all backup quarterbacks the Cowboys

0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:31.680
<v Speaker 1>facing those three games? No? But the quarterback who were

0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:34.760
<v Speaker 1>the quarterbacks have been? I've got them for you. New

0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Orleans started Billy Kilmer. Billy Kilmer was playing for the scene.

0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Probably probably Philadelphia. You probably on crutches, you'll get pill

0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:46.240
<v Speaker 1>you can, you can have a chance of getting Philadelphia's

0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:53.120
<v Speaker 1>quarterback rock close, Okay. In Atlanta's was Randy Johnson. So

0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.640
<v Speaker 1>there you go. So those were like three backup quarterbacks

0:07:55.680 --> 0:08:01.480
<v Speaker 1>and no, well yeah, yeah, yeah, yes they were none

0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.960
<v Speaker 1>though Billy was gone. Man, you laugh at me about

0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:06.960
<v Speaker 1>playing against Jim Hart. Now you're gonna set up here,

0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:11.320
<v Speaker 1>give him some credit, creditation, give me a break, Okay.

0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:15.160
<v Speaker 1>And so to your point, what was your point ever?

0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:21.280
<v Speaker 1>I was talking about how boring I was. God, I'm

0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:23.760
<v Speaker 1>on it today. You are you are? And I was

0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:25.920
<v Speaker 1>saying the same thing last night. When I was watching

0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:28.880
<v Speaker 1>what New Orleans did to Tampa Bay, a friend at work,

0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Nate Tarplay. I said, Nate, you enjoy watching the game

0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:34.480
<v Speaker 1>like this, and he said, yeah, I do. And nine

0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:38.560
<v Speaker 1>nothing defensive game like that. I appreciate every play mate

0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:43.440
<v Speaker 1>that Dennis Allen put together once again against Tampa Bay.

0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:45.640
<v Speaker 1>And did New Orleans win that game with a backup

0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:50.160
<v Speaker 1>quarterback the same one he's no longer he's no longer

0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:53.839
<v Speaker 1>a backup quarterback, he's down the starter. And they scored

0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.800
<v Speaker 1>nine points. So the fact that Cowboys scored twenty seven

0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:01.200
<v Speaker 1>against New Orleans might be of HUC twenty, but yeah, yeah, twenty,

0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:05.679
<v Speaker 1>and that's seven, yeah, yeah, yeah, so that's better than

0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:09.880
<v Speaker 1>zero for the first time fifteen years. I remember, as

0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:12.880
<v Speaker 1>I was watching that game against New Orleans, I wasn't

0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:15.920
<v Speaker 1>as concerned about the Cowboys offense because I thought, that's

0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:18.640
<v Speaker 1>New Orleans defense is playing really well as well, and

0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:21.600
<v Speaker 1>they always have tight coverage. That's what we talked about

0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:23.520
<v Speaker 1>doing the game. That was tight coverage at all time.

0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Concerned about the overthrows and weird throws, but the tight

0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:29.320
<v Speaker 1>coverage can make you do that. It will make you

0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:32.640
<v Speaker 1>second guess, especially when the pressure is coming along with that.

0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:37.440
<v Speaker 1>So my point is just appreciate winning, especially in December,

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:41.280
<v Speaker 1>especially on the road. It's not easy, can't And two

0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:44.560
<v Speaker 1>of the games are division games. I don't care what

0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:48.560
<v Speaker 1>their records are going into the games. It's always tough.

0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:52.520
<v Speaker 1>It's not easy. Cowboys has been able to do that

0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:56.200
<v Speaker 1>in fifty three the first time fifty three seasons. You can't.

0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:58.280
<v Speaker 1>You can't dog that. I mean, people can say what

0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:01.160
<v Speaker 1>they want. I'm not listening listens to is the people

0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:04.080
<v Speaker 1>that talk just like that, because this is what we've

0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:07.120
<v Speaker 1>strived for. You know, we talked about last year and

0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:10.440
<v Speaker 1>the years before, can we just get a win, you

0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:13.480
<v Speaker 1>know when we need one. We've got three. We're in position,

0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:16.400
<v Speaker 1>and we're the best position we've been in in a

0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:21.800
<v Speaker 1>long time. And about a month ago, yeah, we were

0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:23.760
<v Speaker 1>feeling a little shady about that. And let's shake you

0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:25.800
<v Speaker 1>about that. And especially when you look at the rest

0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:28.680
<v Speaker 1>of the NFC and where the Cowboys are sitting right now.

0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Forget the division. We'll talk to conference in conference and

0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:35.440
<v Speaker 1>right now number two seed, only Green Bay ahead of

0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:38.880
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys with three games to go, and with what's

0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:41.920
<v Speaker 1>happened with Arizona really the last seven games of the season.

0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.120
<v Speaker 1>It's not just the last couple of weeks with Arizona.

0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.480
<v Speaker 1>They are three and four in their last seven games,

0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:51.480
<v Speaker 1>and they've lost DeAndre Hopkins and and there clearly are

0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:53.320
<v Speaker 1>not the same team that they've been. Of course, the

0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:56.120
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys are facing them here in two weeks, and so

0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:58.040
<v Speaker 1>when you look at the Cowboys schedule the rest of

0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.840
<v Speaker 1>the way, with a Washington team that's going to be

0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:03.760
<v Speaker 1>on a short week and depleted, and then Arizona the

0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:06.640
<v Speaker 1>way they're playing and then closing at Philadelphia, the Cowboys

0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.120
<v Speaker 1>have a really good chance to finish it. As Mike

0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:11.439
<v Speaker 1>McCarthy told the team after the game, they're on this

0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:14.920
<v Speaker 1>upward climb right there, and the trending good chance trending

0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:17.679
<v Speaker 1>to continue that the last and getting that second seed

0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:20.840
<v Speaker 1>is important as well. If you don't get the first

0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:25.800
<v Speaker 1>the second seats, all you have to do is you

0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:28.640
<v Speaker 1>just win. We just keep on winning, uh playing the

0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:32.120
<v Speaker 1>way we're playing. The defense is in playoff mode. And

0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:34.199
<v Speaker 1>the reason they have the second seed right now is

0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:36.920
<v Speaker 1>because they're eight and one in the NFCAT now, so

0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:40.200
<v Speaker 1>there's no top breaker versus Tampa Bay. Then if it's

0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:42.320
<v Speaker 1>a if it's a three way, it's a three way,

0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:45.320
<v Speaker 1>there's not okay, And it is right now, and it's

0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:48.800
<v Speaker 1>a three way tie for second with Dallas, Tampa Bay

0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:51.520
<v Speaker 1>in Arizona, and so Dallas has the tiebreaker for the

0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:53.480
<v Speaker 1>two seed. If the season we're to end right now,

0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:55.920
<v Speaker 1>you go, now, if it comes down to the end,

0:11:56.440 --> 0:12:01.079
<v Speaker 1>and it's somewhat unlikely now since Green Bay's one game ahead,

0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.760
<v Speaker 1>but if they but if they did wind up with

0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.520
<v Speaker 1>a tie with Tampa Bay for the second seed, Tampa

0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Bay would have the two seeds. Yeah, and that is

0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:13.840
<v Speaker 1>likely because Dallas would have beaten Arizona given them another loss.

0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:18.080
<v Speaker 1>And so if if the let's say Tampa Bay and

0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Dallas went out, then Tampa Bay is going to end

0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:24.480
<v Speaker 1>green Bay. Green Bay would have a one seed, Tampa

0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:26.360
<v Speaker 1>Bay would have the two seed, in Dallas the three

0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:30.560
<v Speaker 1>seed because Dallas will knock Arizona down. Yeah. So, but

0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:34.440
<v Speaker 1>if Green Bay loses, if Green Bay loses, then and

0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:37.920
<v Speaker 1>then it becomes a three way tie between Green Bay,

0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.560
<v Speaker 1>Tampa Bay, and Dallas, then Dallas would have the advantage

0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:42.960
<v Speaker 1>because they have a better conference record, although only one

0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:46.400
<v Speaker 1>game better than green Bay. I think Green Bay's like

0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:48.960
<v Speaker 1>eight and two and the Cowboys are eighting. Okay, but

0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:51.480
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys will win out and so though if they

0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:55.520
<v Speaker 1>went out, yeah yeah, so yeah, it's not a bad

0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:59.040
<v Speaker 1>situation as long as you can keep winning. And it's

0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:02.520
<v Speaker 1>not over yet. Three games and we're seeing what's happening

0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:06.800
<v Speaker 1>every time you think, oh, there's Arizona's got this wrapped up, well,

0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:09.080
<v Speaker 1>not too much. Yeah, the Rams got it wrapped up.

0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:12.000
<v Speaker 1>They're looking great. Not so much. It just keeps happening.

0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:14.280
<v Speaker 1>And I know that that, and the Cowboys had it

0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:17.800
<v Speaker 1>wrapped up exactly. We were talking about how the offense

0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:20.440
<v Speaker 1>is carrying the defense at one point at least I was,

0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:23.080
<v Speaker 1>and I was talking about how we're looking at coach

0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.199
<v Speaker 1>McCarthy for Coach of the Year. Then all of a

0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:28.160
<v Speaker 1>sudden play yeah, oh man, Then all of a sudden

0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:30.719
<v Speaker 1>things change, and you know what, to have that luxury

0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.120
<v Speaker 1>to go through that kind of change and for us

0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:35.120
<v Speaker 1>to be right where we are right now, that's a

0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:38.920
<v Speaker 1>testament to this team overall. I'm not just talking about

0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:42.080
<v Speaker 1>one player, one fast the game. Overall, we're doing well.

0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Defense is playing well, of course, but we have just

0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:49.240
<v Speaker 1>a bit cut down on the turnovers. Offensively, we cut

0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:52.000
<v Speaker 1>down on the mistakes, and our turnover ratio was going

0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.440
<v Speaker 1>up if I'm not mistaking the last few games. That's

0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:56.480
<v Speaker 1>the kind of thing that kind of keeps you in

0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.760
<v Speaker 1>those ugly games, that keep you winning those ugly games.

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Our fourth quarter turnover ratio remains the same on offense. Yeah,

0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:07.160
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, that's for a later segment. So here's why

0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:13.200
<v Speaker 1>it was boring. Here's why it was boring. The Giants

0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:16.480
<v Speaker 1>they started Mike Glennon. That's why I was Mike Glennon.

0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:20.080
<v Speaker 1>In sixty one plays, they had three hundred and two

0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:27.360
<v Speaker 1>yards in three plays. Of that three h two, they

0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:31.360
<v Speaker 1>had one hundred and ten. So if you take three away,

0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:34.160
<v Speaker 1>fifty eight plays for one eighty two and then the

0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys give up twenty eight thirty six thirty one plus

0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:43.560
<v Speaker 1>fifteen on a horse collar tackle, which is forty six.

0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:47.640
<v Speaker 1>So three plays ended up with more than a third

0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:51.360
<v Speaker 1>of their yards. And that's how well this defense was planned.

0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Had they not had those those three plays they got

0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:58.800
<v Speaker 1>away from them, so pretty impressive. And the fact four

0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:03.000
<v Speaker 1>more takeaways, So how about this, four more takeaways. That's

0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:06.480
<v Speaker 1>three games in a row with four thirty one for

0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:12.880
<v Speaker 1>the season, twenty three interceptions. It dawned on me that

0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:16.880
<v Speaker 1>because I I don't believe in defense wins championships. I

0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:18.680
<v Speaker 1>think you got to score points when you get in

0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:23.000
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs to win. So it was like, Okay, nineteen

0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:25.720
<v Speaker 1>seventy seven the Cowboys won a Super Bowl and that

0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:34.600
<v Speaker 1>defense was pretty darn good. They were number one Doomsday two. Yeah,

0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:37.520
<v Speaker 1>they were the number one defense. And it's a fourteen

0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:40.560
<v Speaker 1>game season right now, fourteen games right now? You know

0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:44.320
<v Speaker 1>how many takeaways they had that year? Thirty one twenty

0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:50.920
<v Speaker 1>one interceptions? Was that males interception year seventy Probably not

0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:54.200
<v Speaker 1>because they was on that was on his last legs,

0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah he was, it was probably. It's probably around the

0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:58.320
<v Speaker 1>time to play the coach. It was the end of

0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:01.160
<v Speaker 1>the sixties. I think he had ten. So now, yeah,

0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:07.040
<v Speaker 1>so twenty three interceptions so far, Digs with ten, meaning

0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:12.120
<v Speaker 1>only three guys in this organization have had double digit interceptions, Digs,

0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:16.920
<v Speaker 1>renten fro and Edwards Walls. He's got one to go. Huh,

0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:20.480
<v Speaker 1>one to go? What did I say? Thirteen? Yeah? What'd

0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:24.000
<v Speaker 1>you say? I thought he'd get eleven. I don't remember

0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:26.480
<v Speaker 1>what you said. Twelve. I think Okay, I think you

0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:29.720
<v Speaker 1>said twelve and that was a pretty sweet interception. I

0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:33.240
<v Speaker 1>didn't think he got it, Oh I did he did, Yeah,

0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:36.280
<v Speaker 1>he said by the way, Yeah, by the way. And

0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:38.240
<v Speaker 1>so I was looking at the other way. If that

0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:41.960
<v Speaker 1>was a receiver for the Cowboys, they probably would have

0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:44.560
<v Speaker 1>taken it from us. I was looking at it. But

0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:48.120
<v Speaker 1>if it was a green baby, and that's just kind

0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:49.680
<v Speaker 1>of how I was looking at it, like, man, would

0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:52.320
<v Speaker 1>they give that to a receiver? He caught the ball.

0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:55.120
<v Speaker 1>He hit the ground with the ball in his possession,

0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:58.240
<v Speaker 1>he's down and then the guy swiped it out of

0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:01.720
<v Speaker 1>his hands. I thought they he caught the ball. The

0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:04.399
<v Speaker 1>guy came in late and got it out. But it

0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:08.240
<v Speaker 1>was more than a swipe. It was a tough tussle. UH.

0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:11.439
<v Speaker 1>And I keep I always look at this UH interception.

0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:15.159
<v Speaker 1>This touchdown by UH from Detroit was a big guy's

0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:20.040
<v Speaker 1>name Johnson, John Calvin Johnson. He caught the touchdown. This

0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:22.520
<v Speaker 1>when they first started this crap about that. Yeah, he

0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:26.040
<v Speaker 1>caught the ball and I think it hit the ground

0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:29.080
<v Speaker 1>or something. It was easily. You could tell he had

0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:31.879
<v Speaker 1>it in his control because his hands are huge. And

0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:34.600
<v Speaker 1>they called that back. You remember that they yes, and

0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:37.240
<v Speaker 1>so I always look at that as a worst case scenario.

0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:39.280
<v Speaker 1>So I was just surprised that they gave it to

0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:42.840
<v Speaker 1>him and not to get done uh off of this.

0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:46.600
<v Speaker 1>But speaking of big hands, what about Barkley's catch? You

0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:49.720
<v Speaker 1>saw that? That's crazy? How big all his hands? How

0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:53.680
<v Speaker 1>do you mean? Yeah? What what they happened the end

0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:56.200
<v Speaker 1>of the ball at the back? I mean he swiped

0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:58.880
<v Speaker 1>at it. He did. It's almost like he just swatted

0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:01.360
<v Speaker 1>a fly away like he was. It's like a tennis ball. Yeah,

0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:05.919
<v Speaker 1>he just got a snatch. And but anyway, yeah, no,

0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:09.040
<v Speaker 1>I thought, hey, I'm I just I just tried to

0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:18.280
<v Speaker 1>search saquad Barkley. I put Charles Barkley, come on. I

0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:22.080
<v Speaker 1>just thought he completed the catch to the ground before

0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:24.960
<v Speaker 1>the guy knocked it out of his hands. And it

0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:28.080
<v Speaker 1>was a good challenge, Oh, no, doubt good chald I

0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:31.440
<v Speaker 1>was surprised, but pleasantly surprised that they gave us that one.

0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:37.840
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, yeah, nine and a half inch hands, which

0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:43.680
<v Speaker 1>that yeah, that's not huge. It is compared to mind,

0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:46.479
<v Speaker 1>you know what he's got. He's got strong hands. Yeah, yeah,

0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:49.480
<v Speaker 1>that's not a measurement of how strong your hands, right, Yeah,

0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:53.840
<v Speaker 1>so digs three games to go one or what the

0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:56.440
<v Speaker 1>odds are in Vegas on that? Can you get three

0:18:56.480 --> 0:19:03.240
<v Speaker 1>and three games? Sure? Oh? Why not? Backup quarterback Kyler

0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Murray will throw it up for you. Will and who

0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:09.760
<v Speaker 1>knows will be starting Jalen Hurts if he gets Jayalen

0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:12.000
<v Speaker 1>the last game and put him on the Heisman Heisman

0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:14.600
<v Speaker 1>guy put him on his teammate. Well, they all teammates,

0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:16.960
<v Speaker 1>the guy that should have been at the Heisman ceremony.

0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:20.400
<v Speaker 1>Cd um. All right, you got our picks to click

0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:23.440
<v Speaker 1>from pigs to click? Yes, Uh, start off with mine,

0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:27.120
<v Speaker 1>which is the closest, by the way, a score wise God,

0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:29.200
<v Speaker 1>every time I try to give us some O mine

0:19:29.320 --> 0:19:31.720
<v Speaker 1>was not the closest score. No, we're going to come

0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:35.720
<v Speaker 1>to you last. Yeah, I had thirty one ten. Score

0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:38.639
<v Speaker 1>was twenty one to nine. Right, Well it's twenty one

0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:42.200
<v Speaker 1>six six six. That's funny. You said nine because I

0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:44.040
<v Speaker 1>did a TV thing and I had to redo it

0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:46.240
<v Speaker 1>because I said twenty one nine for some reason, for

0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:49.159
<v Speaker 1>some reason, I had nine in my mind. So I

0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:52.240
<v Speaker 1>had Javon cursed with ten plus tackles for us fumble.

0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:55.000
<v Speaker 1>None of that happened. He had like six or seven tackles.

0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:58.280
<v Speaker 1>Still had a good game. Uh spags, you were thirty

0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:02.280
<v Speaker 1>four to ten and you pig Parsons. He got an

0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:05.440
<v Speaker 1>assistant tackle. Yeah he did, he did well. He did well.

0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:08.840
<v Speaker 1>Uh side note, Randy Greggy didn't have any tackles. I

0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:12.560
<v Speaker 1>know that's crazy, but he had one back hit. He

0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:17.680
<v Speaker 1>had hit that was very unusing. And Bill William Jones

0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:23.159
<v Speaker 1>had god fifty two to seven. He at least he's

0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:26.680
<v Speaker 1>close with the seven. But he did have digs as

0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:29.399
<v Speaker 1>to as a player and picked a click player and

0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:32.119
<v Speaker 1>he got he had two picks. I had him with

0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:34.639
<v Speaker 1>two picks. Two picks, all right, here was my stick

0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:37.199
<v Speaker 1>on it. Okay. The reason I said fifty two to

0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:40.440
<v Speaker 1>seven was Okay, I had Treyvon was going to get

0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:44.320
<v Speaker 1>two picks to match Everson Wall's record because they're playing

0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:47.520
<v Speaker 1>at the play with what was the two teams that

0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:50.920
<v Speaker 1>two of the three teams at Everson plays, Okay, Dallas

0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:55.120
<v Speaker 1>in New York. And so then I put Everson's number

0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:58.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty four Jersey number and his number twenty eight New

0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:05.200
<v Speaker 1>York number together. That's how I arrived. Yeah, this explanation

0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:08.320
<v Speaker 1>is a waste of time, but you got the jigs

0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:11.600
<v Speaker 1>with one pick and also Diggs had two pass defense,

0:21:12.000 --> 0:21:14.240
<v Speaker 1>so he was he was playing I want I want

0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:20.719
<v Speaker 1>credit for Michael Parson's past coverage. Man, you like that, huh?

0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:23.840
<v Speaker 1>On the play that Anthony Brown got picked off the

0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:27.159
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver and he had Booker and he had the

0:21:27.200 --> 0:21:30.879
<v Speaker 1>foresight to go with Galladay down the field seventeen yards

0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:34.280
<v Speaker 1>into the end and he went quickly. It was defuickly

0:21:34.440 --> 0:21:37.280
<v Speaker 1>step yes, and screened him off what would have been

0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:40.360
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown pass. And I liked him. He saw the movie. Yeah,

0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:47.320
<v Speaker 1>he made the movie and he had hands out very

0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:52.960
<v Speaker 1>exaggerated love. But that was that was pretty sweet. So yeah,

0:21:52.960 --> 0:21:55.600
<v Speaker 1>it was impressive. I wish he would have gone off though,

0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:58.760
<v Speaker 1>ye because you know you think, well, I think lt

0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:02.720
<v Speaker 1>was in jail that point yesterday, but uh, I think

0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:05.200
<v Speaker 1>he uh, it would be nice for him to go off,

0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:07.800
<v Speaker 1>you know at the meadow Lands. That would be very cool.

0:22:08.119 --> 0:22:10.399
<v Speaker 1>But they used him in a different somewhat of a

0:22:10.400 --> 0:22:12.879
<v Speaker 1>different role because they had him playing more linebacker and

0:22:12.920 --> 0:22:15.760
<v Speaker 1>passing situations and he was kind of hovering there and

0:22:15.840 --> 0:22:18.119
<v Speaker 1>they had to spy on Glennon yeah, make sure he

0:22:18.160 --> 0:22:21.720
<v Speaker 1>didn't take off on him. I think I do think

0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:24.960
<v Speaker 1>that they were kind of prepping for a more traditional

0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:26.600
<v Speaker 1>role for him on the way out. I think they

0:22:26.600 --> 0:22:28.680
<v Speaker 1>were season I think they were trying to bait him

0:22:28.680 --> 0:22:31.640
<v Speaker 1>into some bad passes too, because they had all those

0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:34.960
<v Speaker 1>other guys going they they had moved bash them inside.

0:22:35.000 --> 0:22:38.440
<v Speaker 1>They moved to Marcus Lawrence inside at times in a

0:22:38.520 --> 0:22:41.480
<v Speaker 1>four man rush. Well, what are your keying on on

0:22:41.520 --> 0:22:46.200
<v Speaker 1>the Giants offense? Probably game Parkley. Yeah, And so there's

0:22:46.240 --> 0:22:48.159
<v Speaker 1>a Penn State guy on a Penn State guy, and

0:22:48.240 --> 0:22:52.679
<v Speaker 1>so he's playing the more tradition in at and T State. Well,

0:22:52.680 --> 0:22:54.320
<v Speaker 1>he got hurt, messed up his ankle and was on

0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:56.560
<v Speaker 1>the play. They went to him. All right, we have

0:22:56.640 --> 0:22:59.000
<v Speaker 1>got to get to a break here. There's so much

0:22:59.040 --> 0:23:01.600

0:25:55.160 --> 0:25:58.560
<v Speaker 1>to Salto Cliff, Hi school, my man. Yes about good stuff,

0:25:58.680 --> 0:26:00.359
<v Speaker 1>good stuff. That was a hell of a game. I

0:26:00.359 --> 0:26:02.080
<v Speaker 1>did not get a chance to go to the game

0:26:02.200 --> 0:26:06.440
<v Speaker 1>ship game, but I watched every bit of it. Pretty exciting,

0:26:07.200 --> 0:26:09.479
<v Speaker 1>pretty exciting. A matter of fact, I didn't watch every bit.

0:26:09.520 --> 0:26:13.200
<v Speaker 1>I was back and forth between the Celebration Bowl with

0:26:13.440 --> 0:26:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Jackson State. They played out Carolina State, Yes they did.

0:26:17.200 --> 0:26:20.280
<v Speaker 1>Dion was feeling pretty good before the game. He and

0:26:20.280 --> 0:26:22.480
<v Speaker 1>his son did not have a good day, all three

0:26:22.560 --> 0:26:25.320
<v Speaker 1>of many of the two sons. I did not know.

0:26:25.400 --> 0:26:27.800
<v Speaker 1>He had a son that played defensive back as wealth

0:26:27.840 --> 0:26:30.600
<v Speaker 1>in Jackson State. I didn't know. Yeah, so he's he's

0:26:30.640 --> 0:26:33.600
<v Speaker 1>pretty good. But they had a tough one. Yes, Deon

0:26:33.760 --> 0:26:36.240
<v Speaker 1>needed to be at at and T State in the

0:26:36.320 --> 0:26:41.520
<v Speaker 1>stadium recruiting Low South Oak Cliff. And yes there was

0:26:41.560 --> 0:26:46.119
<v Speaker 1>some defense being played in those games. Well, I enjoyed all.

0:26:45.880 --> 0:26:49.720
<v Speaker 1>I watched two games. I didn't watch the Austin game.

0:26:50.000 --> 0:26:52.439
<v Speaker 1>Boston Westlake and didn't guard. Didn't guard put up a

0:26:52.480 --> 0:26:56.320
<v Speaker 1>really good effort against Austin Westlake. It was in fact,

0:26:56.359 --> 0:27:00.480
<v Speaker 1>they had the lead, uh twenty one twenty the third

0:27:00.560 --> 0:27:04.440
<v Speaker 1>quarter and uh Westlake kicker, you know, Justin Tucker kicked

0:27:04.440 --> 0:27:06.800
<v Speaker 1>at Westlake. Yeah, so he pulled it Justin Tucker and

0:27:06.880 --> 0:27:09.359
<v Speaker 1>kicked a fifty three yard field goal that was actually

0:27:09.400 --> 0:27:12.520
<v Speaker 1>the turning point in the game and Westlake one, which

0:27:12.600 --> 0:27:16.520
<v Speaker 1>was Todd Dodge, the outgoing coach. Retiring coach was to

0:27:16.560 --> 0:27:20.480
<v Speaker 1>retire on the south of a career yep, seventh state championship. Yeah.

<v Speaker 1>state that year. And you know who their star player was, Uh,

0:28:06.960 --> 0:28:10.240
<v Speaker 1>don't tell me, the Vidman girl. Yes, yes, Dennis Rodman.

0:28:11.200 --> 0:28:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Dennis Rodman went to South o'cliff. He did not play

0:28:13.600 --> 0:28:15.720
<v Speaker 1>basketball in high school, though, I don't know what he

0:28:15.760 --> 0:28:17.679
<v Speaker 1>was doing in high school. There's no telling what he

0:28:17.760 --> 0:28:20.399
<v Speaker 1>was doing in high school. Quick ste he's that's his

0:28:20.440 --> 0:28:25.240
<v Speaker 1>alma mater. I'm at Gambling, I'm about to graduate. And

0:28:25.320 --> 0:28:29.960
<v Speaker 1>the Lttech. The Widman girl with the Lttech they come

0:28:30.000 --> 0:28:33.720
<v Speaker 1>to I was campus trying to Buffalo US and I

0:28:33.840 --> 0:28:36.960
<v Speaker 1>was doing That's how that's the guts that they had

0:28:37.440 --> 0:28:39.840
<v Speaker 1>because the Latte girls at that time they were winning

0:28:40.160 --> 0:28:42.880
<v Speaker 1>national championship. So she was a teammate of Kim Mulkis

0:28:42.920 --> 0:28:45.800
<v Speaker 1>then because Monkey would have been at LA Tech. So

0:28:46.920 --> 0:28:49.120
<v Speaker 1>we had to check that out. But they're having a parade.

0:28:49.320 --> 0:28:51.480
<v Speaker 1>When's the last time the city of Dallas had a

0:28:51.480 --> 0:28:55.200
<v Speaker 1>parade for a football champion? Nineteen fifty eight. No, I'm

0:28:55.200 --> 0:29:02.160
<v Speaker 1>talking for any football champions. Five oh you mean yeah,

0:29:02.480 --> 0:29:07.560
<v Speaker 1>So they are having a parade tomorrow morning that we'll

0:29:07.640 --> 0:29:11.760
<v Speaker 1>wind up at south Old Cliff High School. So it's crazy. Yeah,

0:29:11.760 --> 0:29:14.160
<v Speaker 1>it's a neat story. Yeah, d I s shout out

0:29:14.160 --> 0:29:16.720
<v Speaker 1>to Michael Down's. Well, you know what, it just goes

0:29:16.760 --> 0:29:21.480
<v Speaker 1>to show you upgraded facilities, a graded equipment and it

0:29:21.600 --> 0:29:26.120
<v Speaker 1>can pay off. That's right, that's right. And uh okay,

0:29:26.320 --> 0:29:31.160
<v Speaker 1>so where were we going next with this Cowboys team?

0:29:31.280 --> 0:29:36.040
<v Speaker 1>And you know, one shout out from yesterday's game. He's

0:29:36.040 --> 0:29:38.720
<v Speaker 1>been a little quiet here recently. But how about the

0:29:38.760 --> 0:29:42.640
<v Speaker 1>game Dalton Schultz played? Yes, I loved it. Let him

0:29:42.640 --> 0:29:47.160
<v Speaker 1>in receptions eight for sixty seven yards and a touchdown,

0:29:47.320 --> 0:29:50.160
<v Speaker 1>and his touchdown was pretty sweet that he kept that

0:29:50.320 --> 0:29:54.840
<v Speaker 1>play alive. And he ended up being if eyes mean anything,

0:29:54.960 --> 0:29:58.200
<v Speaker 1>the third look because he looked he here, he looked

0:29:58.240 --> 0:30:01.240
<v Speaker 1>there and then he saw Schultz back across the middle

0:30:02.520 --> 0:30:05.360
<v Speaker 1>of the back of the end zone and yeah, and

0:30:06.000 --> 0:30:08.280
<v Speaker 1>he helps solve some of your red zone issues, yes, right,

0:30:08.600 --> 0:30:10.600
<v Speaker 1>And you know what else helps salve your red zone

0:30:11.440 --> 0:30:17.000
<v Speaker 1>when you can run the ball into the blocking yards, now,

0:30:17.120 --> 0:30:19.680
<v Speaker 1>it helps a lot. Did you see that hole? That

0:30:19.840 --> 0:30:22.880
<v Speaker 1>was beautiful and Zeke ran it so well. I mean

0:30:22.920 --> 0:30:25.960
<v Speaker 1>he hit off of every block perfectly, and then the

0:30:26.080 --> 0:30:28.600
<v Speaker 1>surge into the end zone was amazing. Zack Martin, I

0:30:28.640 --> 0:30:30.440
<v Speaker 1>don't know how he did it, but he came from

0:30:30.520 --> 0:30:33.800
<v Speaker 1>right to left and then sealed off. That's the that's

0:30:33.800 --> 0:30:36.120
<v Speaker 1>the last one he needed. That was the last seal.

0:30:36.280 --> 0:30:39.560
<v Speaker 1>But they ran one in the end zone, not from

0:30:39.600 --> 0:30:43.080
<v Speaker 1>one or two yards and other than Pollard's fifty eight.

0:30:43.400 --> 0:30:45.600
<v Speaker 1>The last time they did that from that far was

0:30:45.720 --> 0:30:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Zeke thirteen yards. Oh, it was like around the Giants,

0:30:52.560 --> 0:30:58.040
<v Speaker 1>Giants somewhere in that Giant's Atlanta stuff the first time around. Um, well,

0:30:58.080 --> 0:31:01.520
<v Speaker 1>when you look at what we're what Dak is looking

0:31:01.560 --> 0:31:04.760
<v Speaker 1>at every week, it's covered too, right, We got they're

0:31:04.760 --> 0:31:07.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna be running covered too with two safeties high until

0:31:07.960 --> 0:31:11.160
<v Speaker 1>we show them that we can run the ball right consistently.

0:31:11.720 --> 0:31:16.160
<v Speaker 1>So now you're going to have close coverage by every

0:31:16.160 --> 0:31:19.320
<v Speaker 1>defensive back that's on the wide receiver because you could

0:31:19.320 --> 0:31:22.880
<v Speaker 1>be much more aggressive in a two safety high than

0:31:23.000 --> 0:31:26.520
<v Speaker 1>one safety high because you are covered almost all over

0:31:26.560 --> 0:31:30.400
<v Speaker 1>the field. So what is left to be open. That

0:31:30.440 --> 0:31:33.120
<v Speaker 1>would be the tight end and the running back position.

0:31:33.600 --> 0:31:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Those are the ones that are vulnerable defensively to cover.

0:31:37.200 --> 0:31:40.800
<v Speaker 1>So that's why you've got Sholts being so prominent in

0:31:40.840 --> 0:31:44.320
<v Speaker 1>these last few games that we've had because these guys,

0:31:44.600 --> 0:31:47.520
<v Speaker 1>the close coverage is there. For the cornerbacks, we love

0:31:47.600 --> 0:31:50.760
<v Speaker 1>running crossing routes. If you're playing the two men inside,

0:31:50.760 --> 0:31:54.000
<v Speaker 1>there's your responsibility, so they're gonna be close on everything.

0:31:54.040 --> 0:31:56.040
<v Speaker 1>If you try to run a comeback, then we're gonna

0:31:56.080 --> 0:31:58.520
<v Speaker 1>be under that as a cornerback because the safety is

0:31:58.520 --> 0:32:01.000
<v Speaker 1>over the top. So the the running back and the

0:32:01.080 --> 0:32:06.280
<v Speaker 1>tight end they are as extremely important down the stretch

0:32:06.480 --> 0:32:09.719
<v Speaker 1>until we all show them that we are able to

0:32:09.800 --> 0:32:13.600
<v Speaker 1>run the ball. So it was the Giants game. Zeke

0:32:13.680 --> 0:32:17.360
<v Speaker 1>had the final touchdown against the Giants, thirteen yard touchdown.

0:32:17.520 --> 0:32:24.960
<v Speaker 1>The passway it says, well, it sounds like it's a

0:32:25.080 --> 0:32:32.840
<v Speaker 1>run because it doesn't say last ten plus yards. Did

0:32:32.840 --> 0:32:35.400
<v Speaker 1>he catch a pass on that you're talking about the

0:32:35.440 --> 0:32:38.760
<v Speaker 1>first Giants game. Yeah, that's when they did the high

0:32:38.800 --> 0:32:41.080
<v Speaker 1>stepping in the last the last touchdown, he did the

0:32:41.120 --> 0:32:43.600
<v Speaker 1>high stepping in the end zone with a pass out

0:32:43.600 --> 0:32:46.840
<v Speaker 1>of the backfield. I thought that was a thirteen yard run.

0:32:47.080 --> 0:32:49.440
<v Speaker 1>It was a run. It was a run, Okay. So

0:32:49.600 --> 0:32:56.080
<v Speaker 1>there they also tried to run it in on third

0:32:56.120 --> 0:32:58.800
<v Speaker 1>and eight at the eleven yard line, up six to

0:32:58.880 --> 0:33:00.880
<v Speaker 1>three in the second quarter, and that did not fare

0:33:00.880 --> 0:33:03.880
<v Speaker 1>as well well because they were going to have two plays,

0:33:04.000 --> 0:33:05.600
<v Speaker 1>two plays to pick it up. They were going to

0:33:05.680 --> 0:33:08.880
<v Speaker 1>go for it on fourth down, and they didn't. Only

0:33:08.880 --> 0:33:11.440
<v Speaker 1>picked up two yards, picked up three yards. Three yards

0:33:11.480 --> 0:33:13.720
<v Speaker 1>created a fourth so if it was fourth and three,

0:33:13.800 --> 0:33:16.120
<v Speaker 1>they would they were hoping, they were hoping that they

0:33:16.120 --> 0:33:19.160
<v Speaker 1>would get closer to like a six yard pickup instead

0:33:19.200 --> 0:33:21.400
<v Speaker 1>of a three yard pickup on the run exactly. And

0:33:21.480 --> 0:33:24.040
<v Speaker 1>that's what he said after the game, by the way,

0:33:24.240 --> 0:33:26.680
<v Speaker 1>that that was the idea. It was a two play,

0:33:27.280 --> 0:33:30.400
<v Speaker 1>two play deal, and they didn't pick up any yards,

0:33:30.400 --> 0:33:32.440
<v Speaker 1>and so it's like, okay, let's kick the field goal.

0:33:32.920 --> 0:33:34.640
<v Speaker 1>Well what about it at the end of the half.

0:33:34.720 --> 0:33:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Everyone same thing. Everyone's you know, on his case again,

0:33:39.160 --> 0:33:41.360
<v Speaker 1>talking about how we could have managed it better. Deck

0:33:41.400 --> 0:33:44.120
<v Speaker 1>seemed like he wanted to call that time out before

0:33:44.160 --> 0:33:46.280
<v Speaker 1>the half to just take one more shot, and he

0:33:46.360 --> 0:33:49.000
<v Speaker 1>basically said no, yeah, it wasn't like, oh, I don't

0:33:49.040 --> 0:33:51.920
<v Speaker 1>know what to do. He waved him off because he

0:33:51.960 --> 0:33:55.000
<v Speaker 1>wanted the three points. He didn't want There was a gift.

0:33:55.440 --> 0:33:59.080
<v Speaker 1>DeMarcus Lawrence gave him a gift by punching the football

0:33:59.120 --> 0:34:02.520
<v Speaker 1>out from Barkley with forty one seconds left and a half.

0:34:02.560 --> 0:34:05.400
<v Speaker 1>And so you have to come away with points there.

0:34:05.520 --> 0:34:08.560
<v Speaker 1>You can't, especially since the Giants were going to get

0:34:08.600 --> 0:34:12.879
<v Speaker 1>the ball right to end to start. So but at

0:34:12.880 --> 0:34:15.720
<v Speaker 1>the time, if I'm not mistaken there with ten seconds

0:34:15.800 --> 0:34:19.239
<v Speaker 1>left after the right when they've spotted the ball, you

0:34:19.280 --> 0:34:21.800
<v Speaker 1>don't think they can get one play in in ten seconds.

0:34:22.560 --> 0:34:25.759
<v Speaker 1>Take a shout in the end zone and see what

0:34:25.800 --> 0:34:28.160
<v Speaker 1>you can do. Got him on the votes. What if

0:34:28.160 --> 0:34:30.920
<v Speaker 1>you get sacked and fumble could be I think he

0:34:31.000 --> 0:34:34.040
<v Speaker 1>was playing. Here's what he kind of explained it. It's

0:34:34.080 --> 0:34:37.200
<v Speaker 1>like he didn't say this, but here's what he's thinking.

0:34:37.680 --> 0:34:41.279
<v Speaker 1>All right, I got three points here. This team is

0:34:41.400 --> 0:34:44.400
<v Speaker 1>not going to score much if at all. Oh, you

0:34:44.480 --> 0:34:50.719
<v Speaker 1>know he has I'm playing to the defense, right and see,

0:34:50.719 --> 0:34:54.319
<v Speaker 1>and that's where that's where the whole analytics thing comes

0:34:54.320 --> 0:34:57.000
<v Speaker 1>into play there, Right, you have to factor in everything,

0:34:57.040 --> 0:35:01.440
<v Speaker 1>including especially the opponent and does that opponent have the

0:35:01.480 --> 0:35:05.120
<v Speaker 1>ability at all? Yeah? And so go ahead and just

0:35:05.200 --> 0:35:07.880
<v Speaker 1>get the points and get enough of a lead on him.

0:35:07.960 --> 0:35:11.319
<v Speaker 1>And where let's look at this as well. I'm glad

0:35:11.320 --> 0:35:16.600
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned that. So could you say that offensively, we

0:35:16.680 --> 0:35:20.040
<v Speaker 1>are being a little a lot more conservative considering how

0:35:20.080 --> 0:35:22.879
<v Speaker 1>well our defense is playing. I think he's said doing

0:35:23.160 --> 0:35:25.600
<v Speaker 1>who we play. I think he's playing to the defense

0:35:25.760 --> 0:35:29.680
<v Speaker 1>and playing to who you're playing and knowing that that

0:35:29.760 --> 0:35:34.080
<v Speaker 1>wind is pretty tough and it's probably hurting the passing

0:35:34.120 --> 0:35:38.279
<v Speaker 1>game too, trying to throw deep. But yeah, he had time.

0:35:38.320 --> 0:35:40.279
<v Speaker 1>He could have called time out and got one more

0:35:40.400 --> 0:35:43.160
<v Speaker 1>play in. And he did this before. I can't remember

0:35:43.239 --> 0:35:45.600
<v Speaker 1>which game it was, and he decided, no, let's just

0:35:46.000 --> 0:35:48.680
<v Speaker 1>kick the field goal and get out of here and

0:35:48.800 --> 0:35:52.839
<v Speaker 1>go up fifteen three instead of messing around. And maybe

0:35:52.920 --> 0:35:55.279
<v Speaker 1>it's twelve three and they get the ball and a

0:35:55.320 --> 0:35:58.560
<v Speaker 1>touchdown in two point conversion. Now it's twelve eleven, so

0:35:58.680 --> 0:36:02.080
<v Speaker 1>on that on the extra point. You know, you guys

0:36:02.120 --> 0:36:03.640
<v Speaker 1>know about the draw bridge. I told you about the

0:36:03.680 --> 0:36:09.239
<v Speaker 1>draw bridge. Yeah, I think the draw No, we're gonna

0:36:09.239 --> 0:36:11.920
<v Speaker 1>go this way like it too, right, I have to

0:36:12.000 --> 0:36:14.480
<v Speaker 1>tweet it's my bridge, guys, I know that. And it

0:36:14.640 --> 0:36:16.799
<v Speaker 1>was on that end of the field as well. That's

0:36:16.800 --> 0:36:19.879
<v Speaker 1>the open area of the stadium. So it's too funny

0:36:20.600 --> 0:36:24.399
<v Speaker 1>different into the field from on the other end. There's

0:36:24.440 --> 0:36:27.200
<v Speaker 1>no opening. Yeah, yeah, right, that's no opening on this end.

0:36:27.200 --> 0:36:30.360
<v Speaker 1>That's where the opening is and that's where the breezeway

0:36:30.440 --> 0:36:34.719
<v Speaker 1>can be caused. So so not calling the time out

0:36:34.800 --> 0:36:38.800
<v Speaker 1>doesn't give them the opportunity to change the draw bridge

0:36:38.880 --> 0:36:41.200
<v Speaker 1>as well. Yeah see there you go, there you go.

0:36:41.280 --> 0:36:42.640
<v Speaker 1>You want to do it quick when we need to

0:36:42.640 --> 0:36:44.760
<v Speaker 1>go ahead kick it out. Don't give them the chance

0:36:44.800 --> 0:36:47.919
<v Speaker 1>the effect. Well, no, they ran it down the three

0:36:47.960 --> 0:36:52.680
<v Speaker 1>seconds right, all right, we continue with more mix shots

0:36:52.680 --> 0:36:56.080
<v Speaker 1>at the moment. The Medal of Honor is our country's

0:36:56.160 --> 0:37:00.000
<v Speaker 1>highest military award for valor and combat. More than forty

0:37:00.000 --> 0:37:02.680

<v Speaker 1>left on this Monday Victory Monday edition of Mix Shots.

0:39:28.280 --> 0:39:31.680
<v Speaker 1>And how about that defense for the third straight week

0:39:31.719 --> 0:39:37.520
<v Speaker 1>with four takeaways? Absolutely to me amazing that you can

0:39:37.600 --> 0:39:41.480
<v Speaker 1>continue on this streak and you know, you get an

0:39:41.520 --> 0:39:46.279
<v Speaker 1>interception and then the punch outs DeMarcus Lawrence. That was

0:39:46.320 --> 0:39:48.160
<v Speaker 1>heck of a game. That was sweet. He just had

0:39:48.160 --> 0:39:49.480
<v Speaker 1>a heck of a game. And see, well he has

0:39:49.520 --> 0:39:53.080
<v Speaker 1>got extra incentive, doesn't he? Yes, he does. How is that?

0:39:53.200 --> 0:39:55.000
<v Speaker 1>And I was going to give you his line before

0:39:55.080 --> 0:39:57.960
<v Speaker 1>you went to the extra sent of but for his

0:39:58.160 --> 0:40:02.439
<v Speaker 1>third game, back to Marcus Lawrence with five tackles, one

0:40:02.520 --> 0:40:06.400
<v Speaker 1>tackle for a loss, two quarterback hits, a pass defense

0:40:06.640 --> 0:40:10.600
<v Speaker 1>and a forced fumble for a defensive end. That's what

0:40:10.719 --> 0:40:16.239
<v Speaker 1>you were missing, not just pass rush all around. So

0:40:16.320 --> 0:40:20.399
<v Speaker 1>now it's here the challenge issued from d law to Dak.

0:40:22.080 --> 0:40:24.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm important with it to turn that first turnover into

0:40:24.239 --> 0:40:26.919
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown. Yeah, I mean it was huge. It was huge,

0:40:26.920 --> 0:40:28.640
<v Speaker 1>as I mean, I wish we would have turned all

0:40:28.680 --> 0:40:31.680
<v Speaker 1>of them into touchdowns obviously, as I say, but it

0:40:31.719 --> 0:40:33.759
<v Speaker 1>was huge. Um, we had we have a little bat

0:40:33.840 --> 0:40:37.279
<v Speaker 1>going on. Um I'll let everyone know defense is kicking

0:40:37.320 --> 0:40:40.400
<v Speaker 1>our ass. But it's turnovers versus touchdowns that we've we

0:40:40.520 --> 0:40:43.080
<v Speaker 1>created this week and they obviously won this one, but

0:40:43.160 --> 0:40:46.160
<v Speaker 1>we'll make sure that they carry carries over and uh yeah,

0:40:46.160 --> 0:40:49.200
<v Speaker 1>they're they're doing a great job getting the ball. Uh.

0:40:49.400 --> 0:40:53.239
<v Speaker 1>Front sevens, attacking back ends, getting their hands on balls. Uh.

0:40:53.280 --> 0:40:55.880
<v Speaker 1>And it's impressive. It's it's great to be a part of.

0:40:55.960 --> 0:40:57.520
<v Speaker 1>But as I said, we've got to reward these guys

0:40:57.520 --> 0:41:02.839
<v Speaker 1>with touchdowns that they do he said. They also had

0:41:02.840 --> 0:41:05.200
<v Speaker 1>a follow up question and said something like, how you're

0:41:05.200 --> 0:41:07.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna pay up? When you're gonna pay up? He goes,

0:41:07.400 --> 0:41:10.680
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna roll it over. I'll keep it going and

0:41:10.680 --> 0:41:15.040
<v Speaker 1>then we'll figure it out. Yeah, just a one game.

0:41:16.239 --> 0:41:17.799
<v Speaker 1>They want to take this all the way. They want

0:41:17.800 --> 0:41:20.560
<v Speaker 1>to take a streak the Super Bowl. So right now

0:41:20.600 --> 0:41:25.680
<v Speaker 1>it's thirty one takeaways. How many touchdowns does this team have? Well, Bill,

0:41:25.800 --> 0:41:28.640
<v Speaker 1>I could look that up. Okay, during the next time out,

0:41:28.680 --> 0:41:30.080
<v Speaker 1>you will look it up and you'll have it for

0:41:30.160 --> 0:41:33.360
<v Speaker 1>us tomorrow. Yeah, that would have to you want to

0:41:33.400 --> 0:41:38.560
<v Speaker 1>be here, will thirty they have forty four? Forty four

0:41:38.920 --> 0:41:41.440
<v Speaker 1>okay plus two? All right, so if you if you

0:41:42.080 --> 0:41:44.640
<v Speaker 1>grandfather did back to the beginning of the season, he

0:41:44.680 --> 0:41:46.960
<v Speaker 1>would have the lead. But right now from when the

0:41:47.040 --> 0:41:50.040
<v Speaker 1>bet was issued, the challenge was issued from d Law

0:41:50.840 --> 0:41:53.960
<v Speaker 1>the defense and as the advantage. Right, as long as

0:41:54.000 --> 0:41:56.040
<v Speaker 1>there's a w at the end of the discussion, I

0:41:56.040 --> 0:41:59.160
<v Speaker 1>don't think anyone cares who wins that battle. I love

0:41:59.200 --> 0:42:04.880
<v Speaker 1>the competition starting for the Washington's Nick Mullins would be yours. No,

0:42:05.000 --> 0:42:08.600
<v Speaker 1>no for Washington. I thought you meant for Cleveland, because

0:42:08.680 --> 0:42:10.920
<v Speaker 1>that would be and Alan are out. You know, they

0:42:10.920 --> 0:42:14.680
<v Speaker 1>signed Garrett Gilbert off the Patriots of practice squad, but

0:42:14.840 --> 0:42:19.680
<v Speaker 1>it was was on their practice squad, right, and so

0:42:19.960 --> 0:42:23.480
<v Speaker 1>they have both been rolled out for tomorrow's Hunekee and

0:42:23.600 --> 0:42:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Alan okay, and then Mullins is starting for Cleveland at

0:42:28.160 --> 0:42:32.200
<v Speaker 1>four o'clock this afternoon against the Raiders because Baker Mayfield

0:42:32.800 --> 0:42:36.480
<v Speaker 1>and case Keenum are both out with the COVID. I

0:42:37.320 --> 0:42:40.600
<v Speaker 1>get ready for the game, man, I was. If I

0:42:40.640 --> 0:42:42.960
<v Speaker 1>was the Cowboys, I'd just tell Cooper Rush to just

0:42:43.040 --> 0:42:46.880
<v Speaker 1>go lock yourself in the house. You don't need to practice.

0:42:47.360 --> 0:42:50.640
<v Speaker 1>You can zoom in the meetings, don't be here, don't

0:42:50.719 --> 0:42:55.840
<v Speaker 1>let anybody in your house, and just stay safe. Okay,

0:42:56.600 --> 0:43:00.880
<v Speaker 1>you want tuck CD briefly, Yeah, up of minutes. You know,

0:43:02.800 --> 0:43:06.400
<v Speaker 1>our good friend Nate Newton compares a drop past to

0:43:06.520 --> 0:43:11.080
<v Speaker 1>a turnover, and he had four of them. Man, was

0:43:11.120 --> 0:43:15.279
<v Speaker 1>it four? I believe? So one of them was okay,

0:43:15.440 --> 0:43:20.000
<v Speaker 1>looked like the sun was in his eyes, and then

0:43:20.040 --> 0:43:21.920
<v Speaker 1>the other ones. It's like he's trying to run with

0:43:21.960 --> 0:43:24.680
<v Speaker 1>it and do something fancy before he catches it. Just

0:43:25.040 --> 0:43:28.719
<v Speaker 1>catch the ball, and you know what, he admitted it

0:43:29.520 --> 0:43:32.680
<v Speaker 1>trying to do too much. And see that's where if

0:43:32.719 --> 0:43:35.200
<v Speaker 1>you look at this team as we go down the stretch,

0:43:36.000 --> 0:43:39.440
<v Speaker 1>the leadership has to be strong because you have young

0:43:39.920 --> 0:43:43.440
<v Speaker 1>players on this and we forget that. We do forget

0:43:43.480 --> 0:43:46.200
<v Speaker 1>that because they're they're operating at such a high level

0:43:46.360 --> 0:43:49.880
<v Speaker 1>right now and they're working together as a nice young group.

0:43:50.400 --> 0:43:52.839
<v Speaker 1>But there are times when you need a veteran out

0:43:52.920 --> 0:43:56.040
<v Speaker 1>there to right the ship when things start going wrong.

0:43:56.320 --> 0:43:59.560
<v Speaker 1>And there are times when a young team, especially defensively,

0:44:00.040 --> 0:44:01.960
<v Speaker 1>they may not be able to wrap their head around

0:44:01.960 --> 0:44:04.480
<v Speaker 1>the game plan against them and to be able to

0:44:04.520 --> 0:44:08.319
<v Speaker 1>make the adjustment to come back. That worries me a

0:44:08.360 --> 0:44:11.400
<v Speaker 1>bit as we go down the stretch. It happened to

0:44:11.480 --> 0:44:14.640
<v Speaker 1>us in eighty one, and it could happen to this

0:44:14.680 --> 0:44:17.080
<v Speaker 1>team as well. The youth in the second day. It

0:44:17.160 --> 0:44:21.759
<v Speaker 1>can sometimes, Uh, we can be overwhelmed at times and

0:44:21.800 --> 0:44:23.759
<v Speaker 1>you have to be careful with it. Let tear whatch

0:44:23.840 --> 0:44:26.960
<v Speaker 1>CD had to say about the drops? How do you

0:44:27.000 --> 0:44:29.440
<v Speaker 1>feel that you played today? You had a couple of Now,

0:44:29.440 --> 0:44:31.800
<v Speaker 1>I played terrible to be honest, isn't no, It's no,

0:44:32.360 --> 0:44:33.560
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying. I thought I could have

0:44:33.560 --> 0:44:38.360
<v Speaker 1>played better had three drops something like that. Yeah, I

0:44:38.440 --> 0:44:41.360
<v Speaker 1>thought I could have played better, and he could have,

0:44:42.280 --> 0:44:46.160
<v Speaker 1>and he and he ended up. I mean, when did

0:44:46.200 --> 0:44:49.720
<v Speaker 1>he finished with six catches for fifty yards? A couple

0:44:49.719 --> 0:44:52.759
<v Speaker 1>of sweet runs that he turned in short passes that

0:44:52.800 --> 0:44:56.279
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't have been a first down into first downs. UM So,

0:44:56.440 --> 0:44:58.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, give him credit there, but it could have

0:44:58.239 --> 0:45:03.520
<v Speaker 1>been more. UM breaking news from Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide

0:45:03.560 --> 0:45:08.160
<v Speaker 1>receiver Chris Godwin out of the season, torn ACL. They

0:45:08.160 --> 0:45:09.960
<v Speaker 1>thought it was an angle at first, and then they

0:45:10.000 --> 0:45:13.520
<v Speaker 1>thought it was an MCLA, and now the probably had

0:45:13.560 --> 0:45:18.960
<v Speaker 1>an MRI today, torn ACL, no playoffs. Did you see it?

0:45:19.320 --> 0:45:21.360
<v Speaker 1>I didn't. What do you think of it? The head's

0:45:21.400 --> 0:45:25.200
<v Speaker 1>the consequences of the rules themselves. It's just the way

0:45:25.239 --> 0:45:27.560
<v Speaker 1>it is. You don't want to get them. I mean,

0:45:27.800 --> 0:45:30.240
<v Speaker 1>these guys have to go low. You'll catch a receiver

0:45:31.080 --> 0:45:33.440
<v Speaker 1>when you're trying to hone in on him, and the

0:45:33.520 --> 0:45:37.080
<v Speaker 1>receiver may go down to catch a ball. All of

0:45:37.120 --> 0:45:38.960
<v Speaker 1>a sudden, you think you have a safe hit in

0:45:39.040 --> 0:45:43.040
<v Speaker 1>his torso and you're making the head shot. So DB's

0:45:43.120 --> 0:45:45.760
<v Speaker 1>now they're just playing a safe and they're just staying

0:45:45.760 --> 0:45:47.839
<v Speaker 1>as low as they can get so that they won't

0:45:47.880 --> 0:45:50.840
<v Speaker 1>have any more unnecessary in faction. Was there a report

0:45:50.920 --> 0:45:57.880
<v Speaker 1>on sterling Shepherd Achilles? Ye know, ye, you know he

0:45:57.920 --> 0:46:02.239
<v Speaker 1>knows thinks. Yeah. I saw where he grabbed and they

0:46:02.239 --> 0:46:07.319
<v Speaker 1>were like and it's like, oh, no contact he tore

0:46:07.400 --> 0:46:09.400
<v Speaker 1>as Achilles. You know what that reminds me of like

0:46:09.440 --> 0:46:11.799
<v Speaker 1>when the guy gets hit down low Yeah, and we

0:46:11.880 --> 0:46:14.440
<v Speaker 1>all feel it. Yeah yeah, right, that was you you

0:46:14.680 --> 0:46:17.279
<v Speaker 1>ye Achilles went and you felt you didn't you? I said,

0:46:17.320 --> 0:46:20.759
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I finally, I finally took my little

0:46:20.880 --> 0:46:23.520
<v Speaker 1>kneel down scooter out of the room where I had

0:46:23.520 --> 0:46:25.480
<v Speaker 1>it and put it in the garage. And I was thinking, oh,

0:46:25.520 --> 0:46:28.799
<v Speaker 1>if he needs one, I could help him out. He

0:46:29.000 --> 0:46:32.120
<v Speaker 1>I think he's twenty eight years old and he's had

0:46:32.160 --> 0:46:34.200
<v Speaker 1>a cup to he's an old twenty didn't he miss

0:46:34.239 --> 0:46:40.560
<v Speaker 1>all last? Yeah? He missed last. Yeah, everything's lower legs. Yeah,

0:46:40.600 --> 0:46:45.200
<v Speaker 1>and really has made the most of his abilities and

0:46:45.239 --> 0:46:47.919
<v Speaker 1>so forth, and he really hoped that he can come

0:46:47.920 --> 0:46:50.399
<v Speaker 1>back from it. But at twenty eight, I mean, it's

0:46:50.440 --> 0:46:53.160
<v Speaker 1>not ancient. It's not ancient at all. But like you say,

0:46:53.200 --> 0:46:55.239
<v Speaker 1>he's got he's got a lot of wear. Until Kaz

0:46:55.520 --> 0:46:58.520
<v Speaker 1>came back, Hooker came back, yea, and they both did

0:46:58.560 --> 0:47:02.720
<v Speaker 1>it within a year. So Casey came back quicker than Hooker,

0:47:02.760 --> 0:47:05.880
<v Speaker 1>did you know, as far as so and Hooker. Actually

0:47:06.040 --> 0:47:09.480
<v Speaker 1>I saw him make plays. Um, no, he had it

0:47:09.640 --> 0:47:12.239
<v Speaker 1>might have been his best game, had the interview. And

0:47:12.560 --> 0:47:18.040
<v Speaker 1>so for Kazy, his occurred in October and he was

0:47:18.080 --> 0:47:20.920
<v Speaker 1>back playing the next season and now. But for Shepherd

0:47:21.000 --> 0:47:23.759
<v Speaker 1>had happened here in December, and so he's going to

0:47:23.800 --> 0:47:25.520
<v Speaker 1>be very much in question. I don't know what his

0:47:25.560 --> 0:47:28.680
<v Speaker 1>contract status is for, whether he's pre agent or what.

0:47:28.880 --> 0:47:34.080
<v Speaker 1>But I knew his mother. Yeah, she passed. Uh. She

0:47:34.200 --> 0:47:38.680
<v Speaker 1>lived in Odessa. My relatives live in Odessa. Her older

0:47:38.680 --> 0:47:42.240
<v Speaker 1>brother Tony Ford was an amazing football player in Odessa,

0:47:42.760 --> 0:47:46.960
<v Speaker 1>and their legends and the Shepherd family brothers Darryl and

0:47:47.000 --> 0:47:50.160
<v Speaker 1>Woody Shepherd were great football players as well or his

0:47:50.280 --> 0:47:54.200
<v Speaker 1>uncles that would be Sterling's uncles, but Derek, his dad,

0:47:54.800 --> 0:47:57.799
<v Speaker 1>was the youngest of those Shepherds whatever. And of course

0:47:58.160 --> 0:48:02.239
<v Speaker 1>Derek died tragically racquetball when he was an assistant coach

0:48:02.280 --> 0:48:05.560
<v Speaker 1>at the University of Wyoming and so chef Dog. Yeah,

0:48:05.640 --> 0:48:07.640
<v Speaker 1>and of course he played for the Cowboys, which is

0:48:07.719 --> 0:48:11.120
<v Speaker 1>amazing because when we were back at the ranch and

0:48:11.200 --> 0:48:14.280
<v Speaker 1>he was with the Cowboys. It was in the off season,

0:48:14.560 --> 0:48:19.040
<v Speaker 1>and remember the racquetball courts there. They needed a fourth right,

0:48:19.160 --> 0:48:21.799
<v Speaker 1>And I came walking by and Chef goes, come on, man,

0:48:21.840 --> 0:48:23.799
<v Speaker 1>you're playing. I know what you mean. I plan. He goes,

0:48:23.800 --> 0:48:26.759
<v Speaker 1>your plan. I said, I hadn't got any tennis shoes on.

0:48:27.160 --> 0:48:29.359
<v Speaker 1>He goes, just take your shoes off, play with your

0:48:29.400 --> 0:48:33.160
<v Speaker 1>socks on. So I did, right, and he took over

0:48:33.200 --> 0:48:36.279
<v Speaker 1>the game for us and we had no problems. Yeah,

0:48:36.320 --> 0:48:38.960
<v Speaker 1>he was a hell of an athlete. As a matter

0:48:38.960 --> 0:48:43.719
<v Speaker 1>of fact, when I interviewed Sterling at the Senior Bowl,

0:48:44.120 --> 0:48:47.959
<v Speaker 1>I told him the story. But me and your dad playing, Wow,

0:48:48.520 --> 0:48:51.719
<v Speaker 1>that's cool. Yeah. And one other note before we get

0:48:51.719 --> 0:48:55.400
<v Speaker 1>out of here. Jalen Smith has now been signed for

0:48:55.440 --> 0:48:59.120
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the season. Four tackles got him a job, right.

0:48:59.600 --> 0:49:02.600
<v Speaker 1>He didn't not practice with the Giants in plays against

0:49:03.800 --> 0:49:06.200
<v Speaker 1>at him because he was having too much fun out

0:49:06.239 --> 0:49:10.080
<v Speaker 1>there with the Cowboy players like it was practice or something.

0:49:11.680 --> 0:49:14.360
<v Speaker 1>So he's gets three more checks in the next three weeks.

0:49:15.200 --> 0:49:17.440
<v Speaker 1>That's good for him. Though, that's good for him. He'd

0:49:17.480 --> 0:49:21.000
<v Speaker 1>just be glad that they ran the ball thirty times. Yeah,

0:49:21.040 --> 0:49:24.600
<v Speaker 1>they didn't get him isolated in coverage. All right, We

0:49:24.680 --> 0:49:29.360
<v Speaker 1>will let Mickey go off more on that tomorrow on

0:49:29.440 --> 0:49:32.759
<v Speaker 1>the next edition of mix Shots, and we will chat

0:49:32.800 --> 0:49:37.400
<v Speaker 1>at you later. Go Cowboys. This has been a production
