I try to 0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:19.080 help you, Rob, seeing what's going down down the bad 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:22.120 path of Nobody on this planet wants to talk about 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:24.399 that game. Nobody listening to this podcast wants to talk 0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:26.200 about You want to talk about the Kicker? They do? 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:28.200 And let's talk about the Kicker, y'all. We are in 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:31.839 week one officially, even though it's a holiday today. Jason 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:34.959 Garrett just not for us and not for not for 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:38.520 Jason Garrett. He's gonna address the media at in an 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:40.920 hour two pm Central time, So it's a primer for that. 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:45.480 And boy, we've got a little question for coach Garrett 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:48.120 that we need to address over the next hour. Right, Yeah, 0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:50.240 what's up with with Dan Bailey? What's up with the 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:55.160 Kicker situation? Why did they do what they did? Does 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:59.040 anybody here know that? Like does it? I don't think 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:04.240 they know that? Yeah? Great point. I mean, okay, another question. 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:05.840 You don't have to. I don't want to put y'all 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:09.000 on the spot, but I mean, this is my sixth year, Rob, 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:11.200 this is like your tenth year. You've been here forever? 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:16.359 You yetimes is that? I mean that ranks up there 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:18.680 for me is maybe the most shocking thing that this 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:21.440 team has done in my time. I don't maybe, I mean, 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:24.040 you know, maybe it's not up there with Maybe it's 0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:26.200 not up there with Quincy Carter. But they didn't get 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:27.760 rid of him. He got hurt. I mean that was 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:31.679 didn't play him ever again. Whatever, you know what out 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.560 of nowhere like a guillotine. They just dropped the knife 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:38.000 and was the biggest surprise that I can remember. Yeah, 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:40.920 I think so. I joking only said something was it? 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:42.800 Do you like earlier in the day, like what if 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:46.040 they cut Bailey and you're like, shut up? Or may 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:48.920 it was you? I remember saying, I've been talking to yourself. 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:51.400 I do that a lot. But if you're talking Shannon, 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:52.959 was you're office, you were talking to yourself. I don't 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:56.840 think you said that to anybody. Didn't accept yourself. Because 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.040 like when it came down, when word got around that 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.160 this was going to shot, we were all like, what 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:05.320 logical sense does this? Man? I got a text. Remember 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:06.960 we're all sitting there. I got a text. I said 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:09.680 they're thinking about cutting Dan Bailey. Yeah, and we all 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:13.440 kind of looked each other the front door. Yeah, Nick 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.040 threw up into his hands. My wife says to her 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:20.920 kids in class fourth grade. Shut the front door. Yeah, 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:24.360 it's okay. It's better than the alternative. That's because the 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:29.040 door's open like that. Yeah, you word got out. And 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:32.200 I know everybody here was shocked. And I can't I'm 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:34.480 with Nick, I can't recall roster move other than like 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:37.280 Quincy Carter, which wasn't a final cuts move. That was 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:40.840 that was always live that one. It shocked everybody. It 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.840 shocked me. The fact when when Larry Laswell told me that, 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:46.200 he goes, hey, we just cut our starting quarterback. And 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:49.000 I go what, he goes, we just cut our starting quarterback. 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.680 I'm like, Quitcy. He goes, Yep, he's out of here. 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:54.280 And I'm like, oh, but yeah, that was the Dan 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:57.440 Bailey one. Because and I think Nick, he made an 0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:01.080 excellent point on Twitter, and I applaud him for an 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:04.320 excellent tweet. Because if there was a if there was 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:08.360 really a competition, you know, why didn't we see a competition? 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:11.120 If if if Dan Billy was kicking for his job, 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:14.280 why why didn't Dan Billy get the opportunity to kick 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:17.120 for his job? It doesn't That's that's it in a 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.520 nutshell right there. It doesn't make any sense because if 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:21.680 he goes out and hits a fifty seven yard kick 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:24.880 against Houston, yeah, everybody's feeling good about Dan even then 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:26.960 they're like, you know what, Okay, he's back, he's good. 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:28.680 He never even got the chance to do that. Now. 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:30.520 The only question that I have, and no one can 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:34.120 answer this for me, did he want to kick? You know? Sometimes? 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.479 Did he want the competition? No one has told me 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:38.800 either way. That's the only thing I can think of 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.680 that maybe he didn't really want that. The reports are 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:45.159 that he's in New York to try out visit with 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:48.960 the Jets, So there's competition right there. Yeah, I mean Chargers, 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:51.640 another team use a kicker. Yeah. The fun thing for 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.680 me is like, you know, we're smart, we're plugged in. 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:57.679 God for yourself. Thanks, well, we did go to LSU, 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:00.800 but we're plugged in. Then the there are other people 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:02.840 that are plugged in, Like around this beat, there are 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.279 people that know what's going on. And at some point 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:07.960 in the six weeks since we started these practices, all 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:11.000 the way back in July, don't you think they were like, 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:14.080 can't you just see like the report that like, you know, oh, 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:17.960 like Cowboys, the depth charted the kicker position might not 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:19.599 be as settled as you think it is. Like the 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:21.640 cowboys are, you know, they're kind of impressed by this 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:25.800 Brett Maher kid like, nothing like that ever happened. It was. 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:29.520 I mean, Bailey kicked every other day, which has been 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:31.880 his schedule for years, to rest his leg, and Maher 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:34.039 got you know, he had his own days. How do 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:38.120 you pronounce the kicker's name? How do you pronounce it? Maher? Yeah? Well, 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:40.760 if it was a real Trey Man told me, mar See, 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.480 that's my point. If it was a real competition, wouldn't 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:45.640 we would know? Yeah, yeah, this was really a battle. 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.280 I felt better when Todd Archer tweeted Todd Archer of 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:50.800 ESPN Dallas that he did what I did. And that's 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:53.960 when it was Maher's chance to kick in practice every 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:56.880 day for three weeks in ox and Hard Watch. I didn't. 0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:59.279 I mean I might watch, but I didn't chart it. Yeah. 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:02.680 I charted by every day because especially after you know, 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.480 Brian and I did a point counterpoint first weekend ox 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:08.800 Nard after two days where he struggled and okay, is 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:11.560 it time to hit the panic button? Right? Well, he 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:14.840 righted himself. They didn't go out and look for other competition, 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:17.200 and I think everybody felt like this guy was signed. 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.600 This guy was a puncher as well in practice, he's 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:23.520 got to spell. Bailey's there to spell Chris Jones. Oh, hey, 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:25.640 trust me. Maybe that fifty seven yard or at Houston 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:27.760 the other night. Yeah, but it was just a forty 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:31.880 what something forty seven eight yard kick in San Francisco. Yeah, 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:35.479 you know. And so you're sitting there thinking, But I'm 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:38.479 with Nick, if if, if there was a competition, I 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:42.040 never saw it. Yeah, And this could very well come 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:45.080 down to whether you believe it or not. This could 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:47.719 come down to just absolute confidence in Dan Bailey as 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.000 a kicker. Yeah, I really mean that's what they're That's 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:53.000 what they're saying. I mean, I don't money. No, it's 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.000 coming down to they do not want to go through 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:58.800 what they went through last December when Bailey came back, 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:03.960 which is totally fine, but like that, that's I just 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:06.599 made the dumbest noise ever because I can't even articulate. 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:09.840 We never saw that thought process play out on the 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.960 football field, Like and you think it was money. No, 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:15.320 I don't think. I hope it's not, because if it is, 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:17.119 that that's gonna piss me off. What are they saving 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:19.080 their money? They don't need, they don't need, they don't 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:22.600 need caps. They had fifteen million on Saturday. This would 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:24.960 bothers me too. And this would bother me if I 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.760 miss Jason Garrett. I keep talking about Garrett wanting to 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:30.160 get everybody in here that can help him win games. 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:32.640 If he's part of this decision. And all of a sudden, 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:36.600 we're Week four and they blow one against Detroit. You 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:39.840 know that's on Garrett, that's on the staff, that's on 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:43.560 the front office. This kid was pretty good in the CFL. 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:46.120 That's what you That's what we're going into the season with. 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:49.000 Pretty good CFL kickers never made a kick in the 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:52.040 NFL before. Here's the thing, long, wait, wait, excuse, are 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.760 you wrong about Dan Bailey? Is are we seeing there? 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:56.880 We seeing the end of Dan Bailey. Here's the thing. 0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:01.800 It's always it's the nick fole, that nick fole, the nile. 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:04.400 We could be but we don't know. That's the thing 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:06.560 that I don't understand because and actually you remember we 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:08.840 talked about it a lot. He had two practices in 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:13.440 Oxnard where we all doesn't started watching. He was pretty three. 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:16.160 He missed from like the three yard line. He missed 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:18.080 four kicks in two days and it was like a 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:20.880 five alarm fire, but he settled in and I don't 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:23.000 believe he missed another kick the rest of camp, or 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:25.240 if he did, it was one one out of like 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:28.360 what twenty five and he missed He made his only 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:33.040 attempt in preseason, which does That's what doesn't get I 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:37.120 don't understand is how how long we're gonna ask these 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:39.080 questions we're gonna find out like how to get an 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:42.199 answer you think we'll see not a satisfactor this big? 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:45.280 This is my question, Like how long did they have 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:50.960 the idea of Brett Maher in mind, because in hindsight, 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:53.800 you're letting him kick five times in preseason as opposed 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:57.160 to one for Bailey, Like we're all along. Were they thinking, okay, 0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:58.920 let's we need to see what this guy can do 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:01.320 in a game situation. Or did it come down to 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:04.360 the last game and they said okay, Because if if 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:06.680 Dan Bailey's not kicking in preseason, that told me and 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:08.920 I think everybody else, oh he's there guy. They feel 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:10.560 good about that. They don't need to see him. Oh hey, 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:12.400 I got reminded of it. You ever getting reminded of 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:18.240 tweets from people. The people. Yeah eight three, twenty eighteen. Uh, 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:21.280 mayor mar as a strong doesn't have as strong as 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.280 like as Bailey. That was kind of a just observation 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:25.280 I made, you know, somebody asked me a question. Yeah, 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:27.800 I said, he just doesn't. It doesn't look it doesn't 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:29.800 look like the boss coming off his foot as well. 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:33.160 And so I mean it's just some observation of practice 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:35.720 and you know, hearing now the guy makes the team 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:38.560 makes a fifty seven yard field goal. But I just 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.719 I never, I never thought that Dan Bailey's job was 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:46.680 in jeopardy. Nope, I never. I mean, anybody, Nick and 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:50.600 I got yelled at for, you know, implying that, you know, 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:54.560 there was other reasons why Dan Bailey was struggling, you know, right, 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:58.280 And you know we got ripped for that within the organization. 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:01.839 And I mean, like, okay, we'll tell me, give me 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:03.800 a reason. Then give me a reason. Now all of 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:05.599 a sudden, the guys gone give your reason. This is 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:07.920 an interesting point that I thought of though, which you know, 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:09.680 we talked about this all the time, Like these guys 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:13.160 are people away from football too, with their own problems 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:16.280 and their own issues that they sort through just like 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.200 we do. And one thing that I would say is, 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.360 I mean behind the scenes, we're not in those meetings. 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:25.400 We're not part of that. And if if a special 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:27.840 teams coach too, if a guy doesn't have it from 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:30.120 a mental aspect, maybe you noticed that you know what 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:32.600 you do, and that's maybe you maybe you pick up 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:34.720 the reason they're gonna gets the reason they're gonna give you. 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:38.440 I mean, I doubt they would say that. Well, not 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:42.720 not the hit coach. See like if I'm McKell McKay 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:45.480 or Katie Cannon or some receiver, and they might got 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:47.920 cut said you know, I didn't get enough reps or 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:50.440 I didn't get this, And that's probably the case. And 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:52.440 that's just the way it is. Those guys haven't really 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:57.120 earned those the reps to go out there and do that. 0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:00.120 But Dan Bailey has Bailey has earned the right if 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:03.120 he's if he's got a confidence problem, he deserves the 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:05.560 right to go to a game and miss and like, Okay, 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:08.600 he's not hurt anymore. This truly is a problem. But 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:11.080 we never got a chance to see Dan Bailey missus 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:15.240 or Brett Maherr missing. What do you mean missing? I mean, 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:17.000 which do you feel better? I mean, you don't feel 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:19.000 good about any of missing, but I mean would you 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:22.839 rather Dan Bailey try? And I worked out like Nick saying, 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:24.640 I think we've I agree with him. Think we said 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:26.520 it all the way through the preseason. It's like and 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.640 even even the week that he was struggling in Oxnard, 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:32.880 I didn't see enough of a drop off to where 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.000 I was worried about him, you know, like I still 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:38.200 thought of him as rock solid. Yeah, And somebody tweeted 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:40.760 me the Nick Foles comparison that you brought up, Brian 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:45.920 two thousand and nine. Folk, I'm Nick Folk starting for 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:48.839 Philly on Thursday. Yeah, he's ahead, He's a super bow 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:52.080 quarterback guy. Yeah. Nick Folk was cut in two thousand 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:54.480 and nine after they beat New Orleans on the road, 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:57.440 that big win. That was the middle of a playoff race, right, 0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:00.280 and they decide, all right, we gotta cut base. We're 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:02.240 trying to make a playoff right here. They went the 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:05.400 entire off season with Dan Bailey saying he's okay, Yeah, 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:08.040 he's okay, And they brought in a guy who no 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:09.920 disrespect to him. He's never had a kick in the 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:14.040 NFL regular season right, So they didn't go for tryouts, 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:16.120 they didn't go that route, right. Apparently this guy just 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:18.000 impressed the hell out of it. And I respect the 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:20.600 coaching staff's opinion. They, like Dave said, they know more 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:23.000 than us. They're around the players more than sure. But 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.560 we did watch virtually every practice. Yeah, and I didn't 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:27.760 see it art difference. Yeah. And you started having to 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:31.160 pay attention to kicking because of the two days where 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.760 Bailey was awful. Yeah, so all of a sudden, now 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:37.480 Rob Phillips's charting and Todd Archer's chart every charting kicks, 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.120 which we never did. You kind of didn't have to 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:43.120 back in the day. Yeah. Do you think the kickoffs 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:44.920 have anything to do with this? I mean, do you 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:47.600 the new kickoff rule that if you don't, you know, 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:49.480 smash it out of the end zone, then it's gonna 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:51.560 be you know, you have a chance for bigger returns. 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:53.200 Do you think this has anything to do with that? 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:57.439 I mean, I don't know if this other guy is 0:12:57.440 --> 0:12:59.520 a better kickoff. That's a good question. But I don't 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:00.880 have a great and I don't need I hate when 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:03.120 I have a bad answer. Well, that's a good question 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:05.719 for two PM. Yeah, I mean, that's that's that is 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:08.480 a good question. Maybe yeah, maybe, I mean, what how 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:10.120 many times you're gonna kick off in a give an 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:14.800 NFL game, like five to eight? Yeah, yeah, you hope, 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:19.400 but maybe maybe you know, with Dan's injury history, you know, 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:22.200 that's a strain that if somebody he might not hold 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:23.880 up to, if they come out and tell us it's 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:28.080 a confidence issue. Okay. Can you picture Jason Garrett saying 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:31.600 though I can't. We just didn't trust him anymore. Okay, 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:34.760 if he maybe waves us off. Yeah, he's turning those 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.880 I think they need to rethink this Monday afternoon press 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:42.880 conference on you know, we we go to the training 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.480 camp and he talks every single day in practice. He 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:47.880 then he talks again in the walk off, and then 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:51.320 it all comes down. Everything you're seeing comes down to 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:56.040 this September two, Saturday, Like they finally cut thirty six 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:58.800 guys and then it's just silent for two days. Yeah, 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.360 Like I don't esupposedly want to cut like this. Most 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:03.079 of the teams in the league got a conference call 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:06.960 on Saturday. Now, Yeah, so really, yeah that would be good. 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:09.480 That's what they should do. And you making people mad. 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:13.120 I didn't like seeing that email, just Dan Bailey Oklahoma State, 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:15.920 like among thirty six cuts. I just think he deserved 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:18.760 better than that, and we just is a captain, Yeah, 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:20.760 you cut a cat. You're right, you cut a captain 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:24.000 from your team in a Pro Bowl? Was a captain too? Right? 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:29.520 Come on, we're just throwing shade at everybody. You're just 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:35.240 feeling feeling feeling good because the Tigers got the win. No, 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:38.480 I'm not, And I don't think that Garrett talked about it. 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:40.560 Right then? Did he send out a release did he 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:44.320 say we're you know, we appreciate everything that Orlando. No, 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:48.120 So okay, that's the way it is. Then it's a 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:50.840 it's a it's a head scratcher man because just think 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:52.960 of I mean, look this team. He's fighting to win games. 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:56.480 That's that's and that's why which a guy. He's fighting 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:58.720 to win games and he cut a Pro Bowl. That's 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:03.000 the most accurate. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:07.280 Everything is going against him. You know, if I've told people, 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:09.520 if I was him, I would be in Jerry Jones 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:13.320 office every day, ask him about rural Thomas. I'd be 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:15.840 there every day, which, hey, maybe you know to go 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:18.720 back to my point, maybe the flip side it. Maybe 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:21.920 behind the scenes, it's been in the last six weeks 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:23.960 with Dan. Maybe they're just convinced that he doesn't have 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:26.800 it anymore, and they go like a baseball pitcher, they 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:29.400 are bound to have a more informed opinion than we are, 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:31.160 and they see a twenty eight year old guy who 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:33.480 maybe he's on the upswing, just who just nailed a 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:35.800 nearly sixty yard or in preseason. I'm just trying to 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:39.960 think about thought process exactly. He's twenty eight, twenty, he's 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:42.280 been in CFL most of his career. Actually went to 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:47.720 camp right here in thirteen and he was Bailey's reserve guy. 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:49.800 He was there to keep Bailey from having a kick 0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:53.440 all all the time. Yeah, it's great. I always thought 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:55.960 if they had to make a move at kicker and 0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:59.840 replace Dan Bailey, we would have a tryout of like 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:03.200 four guys that have been through the league. We've seen 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:05.800 this before, We did it last year when he was hurt. Yeah, 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.720 something like that. It's harder to replace him or Witten. 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:14.640 And I mean, m I just give an idea for 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:18.080 I'm hard. Jason Witten is going to the Hall of Fame. 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:21.760 But it was not obviously not down the second half 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:23.960 of last season, but for most of the seven years 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:27.000 he was here, Scott Linehan used to say he'd sit 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:29.280 on the bench, they'd make adjustment to sit down, you know, 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:31.360 and he would they send the field goal team out. 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:32.920 He knew they were gonna get three points. That's what 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:35.160 I'm saying. They just immediate every he starts, they start 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:37.120 their little talks with the quarterbacks because they new three 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:39.120 points was gonna be up on the board from fifty five. 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:40.840 And then you get on the other side of that 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:43.840 star is at and t that thing's going home. That's 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:47.680 exactly so. All due respect to Jason Witten, but that 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:49.360 is a hell of a nice thing to have in 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:52.000 your back pocket. But it wasn't the case last half 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:56.840 of last year. Right missed five field goals, two extra points. 0:16:56.880 --> 0:17:00.280 I'm trying to, I'm trying to rationalize what's happening. Puts 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:05.359 on a tie. He can feel us, okay, Scrob McClay. 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:09.560 Every year, Brian is feeling it, today's feeling it. I'm 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:12.880 trying to. I'm trying to work us through this. There's 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:16.760 no logical answer. Is do I think it's a risk? Yes, absolutely, 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:18.960 especially because you're going to play a good football team 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:21.600 on the road this week, and how many games in 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:26.840 Jason Garrett's career have been decided by I'm gonna go 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:28.800 look that up and I'm gonna tweet that out. Yeah. 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:30.879 The other thing that I think is worth bringing up 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:35.119 to is like Brett Maher has done nothing wrong. Whatever, 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:40.240 we'll figure it out this week. He has done nothing wrong. 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:43.400 He has done what all football players dream of doing, 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:45.520 which is like play well enough to earn a roster spot. 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:47.720 I feel like I feel like people are going to 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:50.439 be against this guy because of what the Cowboys did. 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:53.040 It's not his fault. It's the same thing with those 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:55.760 tight ends. Yeah, I'm swaying those guys. None of those 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:59.720 guys could play worth the damn because Jason least Jason 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:02.480 wit and retired. Imagine if they just cut him because 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:08.440 they felt good about Swainmore. Uh So, I'm I am 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:11.680 now rooting for it for Brett because there's gonna be 0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:17.280 so what's going on The first time Garon's gonna go 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:21.440 for it? Like the first time this twenty four yard 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:24.080 field goal is like, Okay, he's good. Unless this guy 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:26.800 hits his first ten in a row all through the 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:29.040 season like his. I mean, if his first miss is 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:30.879 in the first three weeks of the season, like as 0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:34.119 Dan Bailey twenty four yard miss San Francisco, he misses 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:36.719 a Yeah, that's true if he misses from like but 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:39.120 Dan had a chance to redeem himself later in the game. 0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:41.320 He was gonna get cut if he didn't get that chance. 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:45.119 Twenty seven twenty seven yard field goal or freaking thirty 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:47.640 five yard field goal shanked left and like week one 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:51.440 in a tie game at Carolina, it sounds like a nightmare. 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:54.560 It's gonna be It's gonna be four guys working out 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:58.600 on Tuesday. Oh yeah, Dan Bailey was gonna be one. 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:03.119 Oh man, I don't we all think he's gonna have 0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:06.080 a job fairly quickly? He's working out. He's working out 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:09.520 with the Jets today. Job. Yeah, you know what, that's 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:11.880 a really good point. Yeah, this is a good many 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:14.480 Oakleoma State guys are on the team now. I tweeted this, 0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:18.360 boyse's the new jam? Now is the news? Is there 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:24.359 a single oaky steak guy left? Yeah? There was seven 0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:30.920 of them at one point in time. Or lemon, Oh boy, 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:33.800 life comes at you fast. It sure does well. We 0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:35.920 thought we were going to break down the biggest news 0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:38.720 coming out of Stady's cuts was gonna be like six 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:42.000 receivers versus five versus seven. We got a little Dan 0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:45.280 Bailey news that took up twenty one minutes the first show. 0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:46.679 You got some other news. You want to do that 0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:48.680 after the break, Yeah, let's take her first break. We'll 0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:51.760 come back with some roster moves that have been made today, 0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:54.119 some stuff that was made over the weekend in addition 0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:56.840 to Saturday's cuts, and get into what that fifty three 0:19:56.960 --> 0:19:59.000 looks like next. It can be hard to find the 0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:02.680 right resource for learning about important financial matters. You search 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:04.840 how to build savings, you end up reading about the 0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:08.160 one weird ingredient from supermarkets that can make you taller. 0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:11.679
