Well, 0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:08.959 we're just gonna have to adapt adapt. Yeah, they're gonna 0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:11.200 have to adapt. We're gonna be listening to us. Yeah, 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:16.760 we're gonna be us. That we be us, we as 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:20.440 the Cowboys. We're not back to work. We've been back 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:24.840 to work this week after that loss on Sunday to 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:28.679 the Denver Broncos thirty to sixteen. But the Cowboys after 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:32.240 their Tuesday off or back on the practice field. They 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:37.080 should be finishing up right about now. Move practice indoors. 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:42.200 It was a little bit windy here also, Uh probably 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:44.840 wanted a little bit of privacy, and there was an 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:48.480 there's an impending rain storm on the way, so I 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:51.680 don't think they wanted to take storms here. Yeah, the 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:57.320 storms you've been outside, No, I mean in the building 0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:01.040 with the team. Yes, the storm was the storm with Sunday. 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:06.320 So back to practice and we'll see, uh, you know, 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:09.840 just I guess we won't hear from Mike until tomorrow 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:13.040 to see how practice went. And as you know, we 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:17.160 only get to see the individuals the warm ups, so Chris, 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:23.640 there's really uh we got the other two lines. Really 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:27.560 can't see how the practice went. The Wednesday practice usually 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:32.360 a little bit lighter. Um. Mike kind of intimated in 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:35.000 his press conference that they'd go easy on some of 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:40.760 the veterans that are dealing with injuries. Tyran Smith was 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:43.920 just going to rehab today. And then guys like Zeke 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:46.520 who was on the cords, but he's dressed, he's gonna 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:52.240 do something. Um, Zach Martin, Randy Gregory, m guys like 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:55.160 them Amari Cooper. They were going to probably be limited 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:57.919 just because of veterans kind of take it easy. So 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:02.000 wait to see this this injury, Well, it'll be extensive 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:05.720 and we're going to add two more guys to it. 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:10.200 Cedric Wilson has a little bit of a shoulder deal going, 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.399 so it looks like he was not going to practice. 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:18.760 And Corey Clement, the third string running back, has an illness. 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:22.119 And I know as soon as everybody hears illness, it's 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.960 like COVID, right, but does anyone to get a cold? 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:29.600 It doesn't sound like, Yeah, it doesn't sound like it 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:32.320 is COVID, And you know, the team has to announce 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:36.680 if it's a cold COVID an illness of course, and 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:41.680 so got But you can have a cold, you can 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:45.840 have you know, allergies or whatever, and they just listed 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:48.280 as illness. So that kind of gives you an idea 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:53.520 of the injury report heading into today's into today's practice 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:58.840 and curious ever since, so after, what was your kind 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:03.560 of take when you were playing, after you played a 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:06.760 game that you lost that you didn't think you should 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:10.880 have lost in the fashion that you lost. Yes, Y's 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:15.480 what's it like? Then? The next week in practice just 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:20.080 a little humility. That's basically what it is. You start 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:23.080 to realize, Okay, let's go right back to the way 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:26.440 we practice the first week. You know, that's the attitude 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:28.720 that we need to have. We've got all these wins 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.640 on our belt now, and obviously, and I'm talking as 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:36.479 a coach, obviously we are influenced by those wins. You know, 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:39.040 we are overly influenced by those wins. So now you're 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:42.400 sitting here, we're humbled now, and so where do we 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:43.960 go from here? And that's where the coach has to 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:47.000 make sure that you go right back to the basics. 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:50.080 So is it a lot of yelling and screaming ra 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:54.080 ra or just kind of you get back to normal 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.880 and not over Did you imagine to land yelling screaming 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.400 like hey, Hay, get out here any now? It would 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:07.440 be basically everyone would be re dedicated to just you know, 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:11.039 committing to your crowd. We're not gonna overreact to what 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:13.240 just happened, especially when you see what happened with the 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:16.159 other three teams, and even more than that, when you 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:18.520 when you go throughout the entire week. But you're looking 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:22.799 at just going back to the basics, understanding that that's 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:26.680 wouldn't called the fluke. It is a sign, it's an 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:30.400 omen and that open is this is what you still 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:32.760 need to work on. It was we weren't able to 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:37.120 camouflage all of our weaknesses in this particular game, weaknesses 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:41.200 that are well documented, big plays on against the secondary, 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:46.040 big chunks in the running game, inconsistency sometimes on offense, 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:49.880 especially third down and of course fourth down, which we 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.080 are We've got to be one of the worst teams 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:55.240 in the NFL and going forward on fourth down, and 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:57.240 they have not picked a bunch of them up. And 0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:01.359 we will get to third down on offense and defense. 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:06.359 Because this game was kind of a season lows on 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:09.240 on both sides of the ball. Uh. And I sort 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:13.080 of buried the lead because when I spoke about COVID 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:18.880 Cowboys kicker gregs, I want to ask you tested positive 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:23.080 and he's on the reserve COVID right now. And the 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:28.960 Cowboys are in the midst the leg at Greg the lake. Uh, 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:32.880 they're in the midst of having a kicking contest today. 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:37.000 Try us going on right now. As a matter of fact, 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:42.920 before I came down, the guys were warming up. Former 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:48.760 Cowboys kicker Brett Mauer o that kicked here in twenty nineteen. 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:53.280 And then a guy that came through uh this summer 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:59.680 and second week of the regular season, laram Haiwu Lahu. Yeah, 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:02.600 I remember you scowling that name up then and I 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:07.960 got it right this uh rulaho Haru laho. And those 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:10.640 guys are going to have a kickoff today, and I 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.040 think the hope is one of them wins it, right, 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:15.480 I hope somebody wins. Not only do they have to 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:20.000 do the place kicks, but they got a kick off too. Now. 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:24.880 I think I think Brian Anger can kick off. When 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:29.520 when Fossil talked about the emergency guys on special teams, 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:32.559 he mentioned he would have been like the end game 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:36.200 emergency kicker and kickoff guys. And that's the norm on 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:39.440 a lot of teams. The punter usually is the backup 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:42.600 kick kickoff guy. Right if your kicker is having a 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.080 muscle problem or back problem like Greig was having in 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:48.640 the first game, so yeah, or just dribble the thing 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.160 down the field right now, just kick the line drive. 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:55.640 So anyway, the Cowboys are going through that, and we 0:07:55.640 --> 0:08:01.920 don't want to get fined Green Bay. Fine, jeez, we 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:06.320 will get to that un But so Mauer kicked for 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:11.640 the Cowboys the twenty nineteen season. Uh. He went twenty 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:15.200 of thirty that season, and they finally said, you know what, 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:18.200 we just can't do this any longer. Man. That's like, 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:25.720 oh no, probably, yeah, sixty probably now, you're probably right. 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:30.640 So they ended up moving on from him for the 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:34.120 rest of the year. Um, and I was trying to 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:39.080 remember that they did bring in Kai for Bath, who 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:44.880 finished the season going ten k yeah's Kai, he's got oh, 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:48.880 I think he's probably I think he's kicking for somebody. Now, 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:53.800 remember they brought him back in basically in twenty twenty 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:56.920 and then zero line. They decided to go with zero 0:08:56.960 --> 0:09:03.120 line for Bath. Uh. So anyway, Uh, since that for 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:10.040 um uh, for Brett Maher, he's been kind of kicking 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:14.320 around the league, so to speak. Uh, he's been with 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:21.360 the Jets, Washington, Houston, Arizona, and the Saints uh since 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:24.360 then and so and and like a cup of tea 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:30.559 at all. Yeah. So, but I bet you know that 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:34.040 was all in in basically the end of that year 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:38.840 and then twenty twenty and then training camp this year. So, uh, 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:44.240 he was without a job, and so they're bringing him 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:47.640 in the least they know him, right Uh. And then 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:51.200 uh Hira lahu Um the guy that you know we 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:55.600 talked about when they signed him. It was August eighteenth, UM, 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:59.320 towards the end of training camp. Brought him in when 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:03.320 zerline I was having problems. Was it back? It was 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:06.640 back problems, I think, and yes, that's what it was. 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:11.040 And then that had him come in with nice Wander. 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.680 They kind of had a little kickoff, I think. So 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:18.080 he was here a week and then when Nice Wander 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:23.080 went to Ruh, they ended up bringing him back on 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:27.160 the practice squad for a week uh and then released them. 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:31.320 So what do kickers do, uh, when they they're not 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:33.199 on a team, they know they're gonna get kick. I 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:37.319 got a kick, You got kicks? Shame in shape? Keep 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:41.000 kicking uh normally Yeah, because you never know when the 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.079 phone's gonna ring at the last minute, you got to 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:45.080 go try. I've never seen a kick or do anything 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:47.560 but kick. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I don't see 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:50.960 him lifting weights. I don't see them, you know, jogging 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:54.240 doing any type of cardio. I just always see kickers kick. 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:57.920 So when I came down here, so the team was 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:02.840 practicing indoors um, because you know there was rain on 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:05.600 the way. It was pretty windy right when we mentioned that, 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:10.679 So they were indoors. So the kickers were warming up outdoors. Uh. 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:13.000 And I said, oh, I'm gonna get the spy on 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:16.679 the kicking contest right. Well, they moved him indoors, so 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:19.680 they were very trying out right now, Yeah, you don't 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:24.320 need that. We're indoors. We're gonna be indo and get 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:26.920 give those guys a fair channel. I think it was 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:28.880 pretty windy up it is now. You don't want to 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.080 put them under that kind of stress. Not now. Yeah, 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:33.400 let them get their legs literally, get their legs up 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:36.920 on them. So we'll see how that turns out. You know. 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.800 I think, as Mike McCarthy said, the hope is one 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:43.520 of the two performs well enough to say, okay, you're 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:47.040 you're our kicker. Uh. And just to remind everybody about 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:52.920 Hira lahu Um, he's of of Kosovo Albanian descent and 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:58.320 when his family migrated uh to the to I should 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:02.400 say North America, because they ended up in Canada, Okay, 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:05.920 and that's where he ended up going to school and 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:09.479 then he ended up kicking six years in the CFL 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:17.760 for Winnipeg, Toronto and Hamilton. So he's an outdoor kicker, Yeah, honestly, 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:21.360 because yeah, that guy, all those things were outdoors. So 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:24.839 do you know the nicknames of all those teams Winnipeg 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:30.120 the Blue Bombers, Toronto the Argonauts, and of course Hamilton 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:33.840 Tiger Cat. Yes, that I knew, all right. So, uh 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:35.959 so he almost went to Canada. Man out of out 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:40.360 of no way, man, Willie Wood. He comes Toronto, old 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:43.440 pack he told, the old packer defensive back. So he 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:46.480 comes to this old this new Grambling defensive back. He 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:49.840 lets me know, man, they're not going to sign You're 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:52.920 not And he knew what he was talking about before 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:55.000 the draft. Before the draft, he said, man, they are 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:56.400 not going to draft. You need to sign with the 0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:59.719 with the with Canada right now. Come to the CFL 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:01.880 and I'll make sure you're taking care of How could 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:05.400 have been a superstar yeah Canada. Well yeah, it'd be 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:08.640 a superstar here. But how would my life be Well 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.840 that would have been a little bit crazy. Man. How 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:16.000 would have been speaking French? Well, depending where you landed, right, Hey, 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:19.000 I was speaking French, brother, if I'm be in Canada. Yeah, 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:21.680 but that's only the eastern part of Canada and the 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:25.480 western part. Well, you gotta you might have to learn 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:28.120 their second language. That's crazy, man, I could have been 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:33.840 in Canada, living in Canada. You and Mark, Yeah, we'd 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:38.280 be dealing together, right Yeah. So uh so after um 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:43.880 uh he they had some problem. He was going to 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:48.080 try out in for one of the NFL teams and 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:51.760 it had something to do with he had been with 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:57.360 him too far into the season. Yeah, the NFL wasn't 0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:00.560 allowed to mess with him. So his last team, Hamilton, 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:04.120 allowed him to. They released him so he can go 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:06.840 try out for the Rams. And he was in a 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:11.720 basically a kicking duel in training camp with Sam Sloman, 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:15.560 who ended up they ended up choosing him. Okay, and 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:19.080 I think he's still there kicking. I don't know much. Yeah, 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:22.000 and so, and then he had, you know, a brief 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:25.400 stay in Carolina as the futures, and then the Cowboys 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:28.320 brought him in for those two weeks and here he 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:31.800 is again. He could be kicking on Sunday against the 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:35.280 Atlanta Falcons. That that that CFL thing is kind of 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:40.920 weird because they only allow so many Americans. Yeah, correct, Yeah, 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:42.880 I don't even know what the percentage is it used 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:44.480 to be. I don't know if they've changed it now. 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.360 They have not changed the way at all. It's like 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:49.760 it's like winning the lottery if you get a chance 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:53.240 to go to Canada, and only because it's like you 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:56.440 got to know somebody. You can't just call somebody, you 0:14:56.480 --> 0:15:00.280 know the scouts in CFL and get a tryout. You 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:03.280 gotta know somebody. And it's always it's always very tricky 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:05.320 to try and get a play up in the CFL. 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:09.760 It's like it's like a goal. Yeah, I mean you're 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:13.560 searching for gold. Yeah right, I mean it's ridiculous trying 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:15.320 to get somebody up there. Well you would have had well, no, 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:18.320 he didn't get here until later. Bob Accles would have 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:22.520 been an end. Remember the Cowboys former pro personnel uh 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:27.280 so that he was here with Jimmy like the early nineties. 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:33.280 He was a CFL guy, so many people probably calling him, Hey, 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:36.840 I got a guy, yeah right and and so um 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:39.040 and he was he was huge in the league. He 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:43.400 had uh And then he retired in Seattle. I'm not Seattle, 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:47.400 Vancouver And he would always tell me about Vancouver and 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:54.160 he retired there and living it is unbelievably beautiful, like 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:57.840 like Seattle, it's even better. Yes, And because they got 0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:00.520 you know, the bay right in the mountain going down day, 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:03.320 they got jazz, all the great food. Yes, I mean, 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:07.680 come on. And Bob and his wife they were living 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:10.440 in a high rise downtown and he had a boat 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:13.760 that they docked in the in the bay area there 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:18.320 and then unfortunately he passed away several years ago. Yeah, um, 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:23.040 but yeah, he he just loved he loved it up there. 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:25.720 So anyway, by the way, the player rules, by the way, 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:32.720 twenty American players only of forty six, just less than half. Yes, yeah, 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:34.720 that's more than I thought. Yeah, yeah, I think it 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:38.200 used to be less than that. Right, So anyway, we'll 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:40.800 see what happens with the kicking deal. And somebody asked me, so, 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:43.440 what are your what's your confidence in either of those 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:48.120 two guys, And I said, score touchdowns. Yeah, yeah, we'll 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:50.320 worry about the extra point. But you know, and that 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:52.920 makes it a little more difficult. Now it's not the 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:55.360 old extra point, right, it's a thirty three yard or 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:59.960 steal the field goal, right, that's goal. Yeah, that's interesting. 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:02.640 So if you if you miss one, if you miss one, 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:06.360 I'm just going for two. Right, We're gonna play football. 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:09.600 Everybody says, all, let these kickers decide games, right. You 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:11.560 know what this game reminds me of this is this 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:15.280 is a game that the Baltimore Ravens would love because 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:19.320 they're always against the odds. There's always something going on 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:22.040 with that playfor we gotta go for two on every score. Now, 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:25.080 that's the kind of stuff that Baltimore would really thrive in. 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:27.480 That's why I always liked about that team. They have 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:30.879 no excuses. And this is the way this team was 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:34.480 reminding me of up until last week. You had no excuses. 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:37.600 No matter what. I don't I don't call Baltimore ever 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:40.800 being blown out the way we were this year, and 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:42.560 I think that kind of gives them to me in 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:45.600 regards to these type of games. They just have this 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:49.760 ability to come together. After they lost against Kansas City, 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:54.320 I believe that was opening Sunday night, Monday night, I'm saying, yeah, 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:59.000 I think you're right, Lamar Jackson just just messed up badly. 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:02.960 That next game they were going to win, and they 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:05.439 came back and they got themselves together. And you know 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:09.320 the weird thing you mentioned about going for two and 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:11.760 we'll when we take the break, we'll come back and 0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:14.560 talk about third and short and fourth and short. But 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:18.359 on uh, after they scored their two touchdowns right now, 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:20.320 I know it was garbage time at the end of 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:24.840 the game. They converted both two point conversions, couldn't pick 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:26.960 up a fourth and one, couldn't pick up a fourth 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:29.680 and two. But it was backup dbs. They didn't know 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:34.560 what they were doing yet. I don't think Fangio called 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:38.640 off the dogs. That's a good point. I think he 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:41.600 wanted shot out out. He wanted a good point point 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:46.080 because everyone was assuming, yeah, that that was the backup secondary. Yeah, 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:48.160 in there doing the last Yeah, how come he didn't 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:51.560 take his his starters out? They could have got hurt, right, 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:53.320 I have to take a look at that, did he 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:55.479 or did he not? That aspect, we would have to 0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:57.399 take a look at that. We would have to you 0:18:57.440 --> 0:19:01.200 know what, um, I think I have the snap rundown 0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:03.119 snap yea there, so we can take a look at 0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:07.760 that when we return here for mick shots.

You know he's this is 0:22:01.920 --> 0:22:05.080 his moonlighting job, the real one said, and we're having 0:22:05.240 --> 0:22:09.000 meetings today and you need to be he yeah, right, 0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:14.760 probably put on his new shaved shaved yesterday hairca absolutely 0:22:15.000 --> 0:22:17.800 his nose hairs. I was proud of them. Okay, so, uh, 0:22:18.240 --> 0:22:20.640 we're gonna get into a few more things. But when 0:22:20.720 --> 0:22:28.080 we left off there momentarily we talked about guys, you know, 0:22:28.320 --> 0:22:32.440 the Cowboys sort of getting criticism for uh playing Dak 0:22:32.560 --> 0:22:36.040 the whole way. And I said, yeah, and I said, whoa, 0:22:36.400 --> 0:22:39.880 it doesn't look like Fangio backed off, and everything says, 0:22:39.920 --> 0:22:42.240 well did he or didn't he? Well, I got the 0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:48.159 snap counts here and Justin Simmons their free safety of 0:22:48.240 --> 0:22:51.280 the snaps, So it wasn't like the Cowboys were scoring 0:22:51.320 --> 0:22:55.520 in time against the third team, right. Uh, these weren't 0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:57.480 the freshmen that they put in at the end of 0:22:57.520 --> 0:22:59.600 the game when it was thirty to nothing. By the way, 0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:05.080 Brandon Browning starting linebacker one hundred percent, Kareem Jackson's strong 0:23:05.200 --> 0:23:09.320 safety ninety eight percent, Kyle Fuller cornerback ninety seven percent 0:23:09.400 --> 0:23:13.600 of the plays, Ronald Darby cardon back ninety four percent 0:23:13.680 --> 0:23:17.439 of the place, Jonathan Cooper, who gave the Cowboys fits 0:23:17.680 --> 0:23:23.159 rushing the quarterback ninety percent of the plays. Weatherly defensive 0:23:23.280 --> 0:23:26.639 end eighty nine percent of the plays. So, yeah, he 0:23:26.760 --> 0:23:29.200 didn't say, Okay, this one's over you guys. This is 0:23:29.359 --> 0:23:31.960 so personal to him, wasn't it. Yeah? Oh it was. 0:23:32.400 --> 0:23:34.360 And you know what, and one of the things well, 0:23:34.520 --> 0:23:36.840 and I think Bill brought it up, you know, Uh, 0:23:37.000 --> 0:23:40.959 Fangio and and McCarthy have gone up against each other, 0:23:41.119 --> 0:23:45.800 so they got a probably little bathing. It was going. 0:23:45.880 --> 0:23:50.200 He was pretty attend I like McCarthy's response. He's like, yeah, 0:23:50.240 --> 0:23:52.879 the winners get to beat the drum. Yeah, I get that. 0:23:53.080 --> 0:23:54.959 And I love the way, you know, we know how 0:23:55.000 --> 0:23:56.639 to be humble, right, I mean, you go ahead and 0:23:56.680 --> 0:23:58.920 you do your thing. Well, we'll see how your season turns. 0:23:58.960 --> 0:24:01.520 Out and I finally got to live us into Kellen 0:24:01.600 --> 0:24:05.879 Moore's interview on Monday and they were asking about, you know, 0:24:06.119 --> 0:24:09.399 did they find some sort of secret how to stop 0:24:09.440 --> 0:24:13.600 the Cowboys offense the blueprint and he and he basically 0:24:13.840 --> 0:24:18.399 very nicely pointed out, He goes, we missed some big opportunities. 0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:22.280 That is it. We beat ourselves right there. And you 0:24:22.400 --> 0:24:25.560 have to give credit to defense that they they they 0:24:25.800 --> 0:24:29.760 they maneuver you into beating yourself right great, and it 0:24:29.880 --> 0:24:33.280 was perfectly for them because we were off. It's not 0:24:33.400 --> 0:24:35.760 that you on. Yeah, we were off. We just didn't 0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:38.520 play well at five drops, which is two or three 0:24:38.640 --> 0:24:44.120 four bad throws, bad throws, yeah, yeah, absolutely bad offensive line. Uh, 0:24:44.280 --> 0:24:46.920 just what they weren't ready at all. I think we're 0:24:46.920 --> 0:24:48.720 gonna have to go back to that same old scheme 0:24:48.760 --> 0:24:51.480 to what We're gonna have to give them a little 0:24:51.840 --> 0:24:55.399 more help because Tylan's coming or not coming back. He 0:24:55.920 --> 0:25:00.200 basically was rehabbing on the chords, uh during practice, so 0:25:02.680 --> 0:25:05.000
