We are done with Christmas and the Cowboys 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:53.240 have given everyone's a really really nice Christmas present. Yesterday. 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:56.000 They gave Amber that game, as she's been asking for 0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:59.240 for the last several weeks, a fifty six to fourteen 0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:03.360 beat down of the Washington football team. Benches in all 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:06.720 and uh and I like Nick's tweet bench please like 0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:08.920 that was really? That was that? We should have used 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:11.560 that as a headline after the game. That would have 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:14.520 been pretty pretty perfect. But we're gonna break down the 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:16.280 game for you guys, tell you guys what went right 0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:19.200 and if there was anything that went wrong for this team. 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:21.480 So let's start nick. We didn't get a chance to 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:23.240 get eighty four last week because he didn't get a 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:24.840 chance to do our show. You want to give me 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:26.520 an eighty four and eighty five real quick to get 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:28.679 us kicked off here. I always been a big fan 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:31.520 of Joey Galloway, Yeah, eighty four. I know there's some 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:33.800 other great tight ends, and there were eighty four, but 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:36.920 I like I like Joey Galloway myself. I love how 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.800 our personal things kind of filter into things sometimes. I 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:45.480 got no issues with Doug Cosby, like Cosby eighty five. Yeah. 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:51.000 Remember Ernie Mills, Yes I do, Yeah, or Arnie Mills. 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:53.120 I liked him, I did too. How long was he 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:59.280 here for? Like? Two years? Years? Noah Brown? Sorry, Dave 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.800 Keepson real was who's here that? Yeah? I think he's 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:05.080 the only guy that's warrant that I can think of 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:08.640 the whole time I've been here about Darren Chefferini, I 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:11.520 remember the name? I remember? Then? All right, all right, 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:15.840 let's get right into this. Craton was a good eighty four, 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:17.440 it was. It was one of my favorites. I like 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:19.760 Patrick just as a person, cool guy. All right, all right, 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:23.200 let's jump right in Cowboys win fifty six fourteen. Uh, 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:25.880 it was a it was a game that was um, 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:28.240 I don't know, just everything about it just seemed to work. 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.040 But let's start first with some storylines, big picture storylines. 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:32.799 What do you think coming out of that game? Games over, 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:35.519 Cowboys win fifty six fourteen. What's your first thought? Nick, 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.600 they get win the Super Bowl if they play like that? 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:40.880 I mean, I'm sorry, I mean you can though, I mean, 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:43.320 that's that's not too far fetched. If you play like that, 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.760 you're gonna beat any team, maybe other than the AFC 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:48.880 Pro Bowl squad. I mean, that was that was an 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:52.280 absolute perfect type game. That doesn't mean they're gonna play 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.919 like that all the time. There's better quarterbacks, better teams, 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:57.200 better offense that will challenge them them. But if you're 0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:02.240 gonna dominate on offense, defense and specialty, dominate all three. 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:04.919 This team, this is a team that can go and win, 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:07.920 win games and get into the super Bowl. That's that's 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:09.960 how good that they are. Well, they do it when 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:11.920 it counts the most we'll see. But man, they have 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:15.520 they put it out there. Amber it ain't that hard, 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:23.120 is it? When you have the talent exactly exactly That's 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:26.120 what I've been complaining about. We know the talent that's 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:30.160 there on offense, on defense, even special teams. They showed 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:33.080 up last night as well. Kellen Moore. We know he 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:37.080 has talent. So this is what I was waiting and 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.760 complaining to be to see, to see finally, and it's 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:44.960 not that complicated. Once they're clicking, it's freaking amazing. And 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:48.840 I was probably that was probably the game I've enjoyed 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.960 the most, just sitting there, I have my feet up, 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:56.040 my laptop on my legs, watching the game and enjoying it. 0:03:56.560 --> 0:04:01.720 No sweating, no nothing. So I expect the Cowboys to 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.360 take this win and carry it over the next few 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:08.640 weeks and hopefully that's something that's that doesn't go away 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:12.000 with Arizona coming up next week and I know we'll 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.480 talk about it later in the week, but this is 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:19.800 a great start to end the final regular season. Dave 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:22.960 Mbar reminds me of my dad a little bit, and 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:26.960 that sounds weird, but my dad is only happy if 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:28.960 his team is just blowing the doors off, or the 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:32.640 other days, if it's if it's remotely close. He's like, 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.000 these guys are stressing me out. I can't watch this. 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.520 I'm like, you chose the wrong league to be a 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:39.960 fan of if that's the only way you're gonna be happy. 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:43.240 But you're right they I mean, that's about as perfect 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:45.160 as you can play a game of NFL football. And 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.560 like they've beaten down four or five teams this year, 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:51.279 and this still felt like it was in a different 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:55.679 stratosphere than those games just beginning to end. Ass whipping 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:59.400 um that you just you get. You typically get those 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:02.279 like once a generation in the NFL, and it's special 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:05.200 that the Cowboys have managed to do that a handful 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:07.400 of times this year. I mean that, don't take that 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:12.640 for granted. Knicks totally right. You had the wonderful analogy 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:14.640 last week or whenever it was that it was like 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.160 they were playing a guitar out of tune. Well they 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:21.000 tuned up, they tuned up. And yeah, I mean with 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.640 what the defense is doing. I wrote about this last night, 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:27.080 like whole hum, whole hum. They only had two takeaways 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:30.240 and still scored a defensive touchdown, So like they're still 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:34.239 doing that and the offense did what it was supposed 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:36.479 to do, didn't even really have to change that much. 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.080 Like CD makes some tough catches instead of dropping the ball, 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.880 Dak throws some fans. He puts it on the money, 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:44.599 which is something he hasn't been doing is consistently. But 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:48.000 it was there last night. And when they play even 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:50.400 close to that level of potential, I just I think 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:52.960 they could beat anybody in the NFL. Yeah. My big 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.719 picture from that game is really just this defense is great. 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:59.159 They are great, and I love watching them play. I 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:02.400 tweeted during the game, you know, after they score the 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:04.320 first touchdown, I was like, all right, I don't really 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:06.240 need to see the offense anymore. Just put the defense 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:08.080 out that arrest of the game, and I just want 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:10.400 to see him because every play you're looking like, who's 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:12.040 gonna do something, Who's gonna do something? Like? They are 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:14.960 so much fun to watch because they have so many playmakers, 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:18.440 and all their playmakers are making plays all the time, 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:20.400 and so it's just a it's just a fun team 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.599 to watch from a defensive standpoint, and the part I 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:24.800 love the most about this team, and I think it 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:26.960 was on display last night. When the defense is clicking, 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.679 I think everything else will click. I think this defense 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:32.000 has the ability to be able to be the catalyst 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:34.640 for everything else. It started with that interception with Treyvon 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:37.279 Diggs and from there the route was on. Yeah, and 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:39.280 that's what I love about this defense. This has become 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:42.359 a defensive team and that travels in the playoffs. I 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:44.560 love that about this team right now. I don't think 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:46.640 the Covers are going to get a Defensive Player of 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:49.560 the Year award this year. I don't think it's going 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:52.120 to happen. I think they got two guys though, that 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:54.640 are worthy of it, that are probably gonna split some votes. Yeah, 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.359 because I think Treyvon Diggs. You know, we see what 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:00.480 Parsons is doing, but Diggs should get some concern iteration 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:04.560 as well. Um, obviously, eleven picks is amazing. Tis the 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:08.320 Cowboys a record with Everson Walls, which I'm sure he'll 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:10.760 have some things to say today on mix shots about that, 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:14.600 but um, you know, he traveling with their best receiver. 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.440 He's taken away your best option, or at least trying 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:21.360 to and so that right there is helpful. And then 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:24.200 you're getting picks on top of it. I mean, he 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:26.920 should get some some votes as well. You know that 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.800 he had they had between the two games they've played 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.800 against Washington the last three weeks, there have been ten 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:36.840 targets to McLaren. McLaren only played the first half of 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:38.600 that last game. He got hurt in the first series 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:41.720 of the second half. But they've had ten targets him. 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:46.440 He's at one in one completion. I mean, yeah, exactly. 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:49.200 So I mean this is this is you talk about 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:51.120 taking the top guy, and he was doing it earlier 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:53.120 this season too. He was taking the top guy every 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.640 week and none of those guys were having great games. 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:57.960 And so people can talk about his stats and he 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:01.640 gives up yards and all this care The guy gets turnovers, 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:04.960 he makes plays. He has over twenty past defenses, which 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:07.400 is I think that's the first time in NFL history 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.520 someone's had eleven interceptions and twenty past defenses in the 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:13.640 same season. Like, he is having a remarkable season, Nick, 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:16.360 And but for the fact that he's overshadowed, shadowed by 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:19.280 Michael Parsons, I think he would be like there would 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:21.560 be a lot more people talking about him in that discussion. 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.440 That's insane and I agree with you, but that's insane though, 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:28.160 to say that he's being overshadowed by anybody because he 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:31.880 has a chance to tie an NFL record that has 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:34.880 stood since before the Super Bowl. I mean, that's the 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:38.400 type of territory that he's in. And it's crazy the 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:41.080 degree to which he's kind of been discredited, and I 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:43.199 think aig in my opinion, a big part of it's 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.719 just that he plays for the Cowboys. People, if you 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:47.600 don't love the Cowboys, you hate him and you're like, oh, 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:52.480 so what if he's got picks he gives up and 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:56.280 he's just eleven I mean eleven interceptions. I'm looking at McLaurin, 0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:59.199 got targeted six times last night, caught it once, just 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:01.600 coldal on factor in that game. And I get it. 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:04.520 The Washington didn't really have a great quarterback situation, but 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.120 I don't care if it's impressive. Yep, well you got 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:10.000 surprise they went after him that first play. Yes, yeah, 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:13.479 and the way they not only did they like Washington 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:16.680 ran double goes Kelvin Joseph was carrying the exact same 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:19.320 route on the other side of the field. First NFL start, 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:23.240 first snap out there, at the very least, test him, Yeah, like, 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:27.160 test the rookie. Not the thing. It's gonna be all 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:29.280 pro when the season's over and you're just like, yeah, 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:31.439 we got this, We're gonna I'm just gonna check it out. 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:36.400 Stupid and everybody Digs couldn't believe it. I think every 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:38.200 player got asked about it and they were all just 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:40.600 like why would you do that? Like why? Why? Why 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:42.839 even chance it? If you're gonna test him, you think 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:44.640 you try to bait him, like you try to work 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:46.840 him throughout the game and then get him into a situation. 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:48.920 You got him thinking one thing and then try to 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:50.480 get him. I don't know why they thought that would 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:52.760 be a good idea to start the game, but fourteen 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:54.800 is the record. I think he's gonna get there. He's 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:57.559 got two games, he needs three interceptions. I think he's 0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.760 gonna get there. That's a lot in two games. Night 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:05.000 Lane Lane. Seriously, like that record has been around since 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:08.080 like running back. It's amazing just to just to say 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:12.800 Treyvon Diggs at night train Lane. Yeah, that even sounds funny. Again, 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:15.679 I mean three and two games would be wild, but 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:20.080 Kyler and I would be surprised. But I'm not gonna 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:23.560 bet against him. Why Yeah, Kyl, you know he's had 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:26.360 he had three against hers last year. Give it to you. 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:29.360 That would be fun. I'd like to just him to 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:31.760 get twelve for sure. You know, break the record for 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.480 the Cowboys. That would be cool. And Everson Walls we 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:38.960 did talk to him about a last week and he said, hey, 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:42.280 get it, but no one's ever gonna take my rookie record. 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:44.720 You know. He said, no one's gonna break that. So 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:47.920 because Everston got eleven as a rookie, so he's got 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:50.520 the record and a rookie record. He's like, so nobody's 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:53.760 coming into the league. I'm not being erased from the record. No, no, yeah, 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:57.000 being there will no, there will not be another player 0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:58.840 to come in as a rookie to get eleven. And 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:02.000 if he is, I guarantee not undrafted from Grambling. Like 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:05.160 that ain't happening. All right, We're gonna take our first break. 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:07.200 When we come back.

More importantly, what was 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:13.600 different for him yesterday, because it did seem like there 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:15.280 were some things that were a little different. We'll talk 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:17.040 about that we come right back. This is Dallas Cowboys 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:21.000 dot Com Radio at ATNC.

At the start, we're talking about 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:42.160 the Cowboys victory over the Washington football team. They win 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:46.440 fifty six to fourteen. That still just sounds like I'm 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:48.960 want to college football show that that is not an 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:52.160 NFL score. That's how I felt last night, was like, 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:56.400 you know, LSU's playing Sam Houston State, and like midway 0:13:56.400 --> 0:14:00.520 through they of course not sorry direct should know you. 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:03.080 It doesn't I'm not picking on anybody, but you're just 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:04.920 they're like, all right, let's get the freshman in here. 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:06.959 Let's see what the young guys can do. And they 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:09.720 even scored. Right. He gat Malakue Turner out there, just 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:12.480 like running up and down the field. Belie Turner, I 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:15.240 thought he was gonna house that thing. Yeah, he was 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:18.839 not gonna go down. Yeah. That was the other That 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:22.840 was just the epitome of like the Washington's checked out 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:26.200 of this game. They're demoralized, and Malik Turner's like I'm 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:31.160 putting stuff on, yeah, things to accomplish here. Let's talk 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:34.400 about one. Dak Prescott though, I think yesterday we got 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:36.760 to see Dak. If you thought he was in a slump, 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:38.280 which I don't know if i'd call it a slump, 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:40.840 but if you thought he wasn't playing his best football, 0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:43.360 yesterday he got a little back, a little bit closer 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:45.000 to where he was earlier in the season when he 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.480 was playing really great football. He was twenty eight at 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:50.120 thirty nine seventy two percent completion, which is I think 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:53.080 the most important thing. Three hundred and thirty yards, four 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:56.080 touchdowns and no interceptions. Talk to me about Dak Prescott, 0:14:56.800 --> 0:15:00.560 he's back, baby, which I just I laugh the kind 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:04.080 of quibbling and they'd almost sound superstitious where he's He's like, 0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:07.040 I never called it to slump. Y'all called it to slump, 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:09.360 but I haven't been playing my best football, and now 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:12.760 I would what that means. But hey, whatever whatever makes 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:17.400 feel better. Um yeah, But now he was incredible. He 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:19.800 looked I mean, that was that was Dak at his best. 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:23.200 That was Dak playing like an MVP candidate. That was 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:25.760 the guy that we saw for the first seven eight 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:29.200 weeks of the season, including Atlanta. But even like they 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:31.640 beat Atlanta down, he didn't play that great I mean, like, 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:34.240 I mean, he played very well against Atlanta, but he 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:36.160 that was maybe his best game of the year, or 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:41.680 certainly top three, along with like New England and Tampa probably. Um. 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:44.120 I mean, he he was putting it on a dime. 0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:46.640 He had had that throw to CD the crosser over 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:50.160 the shoulder. I don't know what else you're gonna say. 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:54.280 He looked, he looked amazing. Goody. I just thought he 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:57.720 was a complete quarterback too, you know. I mean when 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:01.080 we noticed it very early in the game, even though 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:04.160 it doesn't doesn't just jump out on the statuet, the 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:07.680 runs him running the ball for a first down here 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:09.640 and stepping up in the pocket and getting your seven 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:11.920 eight and slide and getting out of there, and I 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:15.200 thought all of that was kind of back to what 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:17.760 type of quarterback he can be. He does not have 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:20.600 to be this this dynamic runner that's gonna go and 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.160 get one hundred yards rushing and all that stuff. He's 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:24.720 just got to be a guy willing to do it. 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:27.640 And I thought last last night he did that. And 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:29.480 then that opens up a lot of things. I Mean, 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:33.560 the best play on top of that is the third 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:36.440 and seven. It's like twenty one to seven. The game's, 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:39.120 you know, is Washington's trying to get staying alive in 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:43.000 this and he looks like he's gonna run, defense sucks up. 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:45.080 He throws it over to Gallop for forty one yards 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:47.640 and then that kind of led to another touchdown. I 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:50.800 just thought his ability to run was important last night. 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:54.160 He looked like himself in my opinion. I mean, he 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:57.000 ran for twenty one yards and yet, like we've been saying, 0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:00.560 you don't have to need Dak Press got to run 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:02.920 for more than ten fifteen yards in a game, but 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:06.080 the ability to do that to extend plays, and then yeah, 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:09.240 the scramble throw to Gallop, I mean, I just think 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:11.760 that's such a staple of his game that we haven't 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:14.280 been seeing consistently over the last five or six weeks, 0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:18.320 you know, and trying to figure out what was different. 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:21.359 It makes me wonder, Okay, did he play better because 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:24.720 everybody else was playing better in the offense as a whole, 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:29.399 or did everybody else play better because that was playing better. 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:31.840 But then at the same time, you're like, Okay, you 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:35.120 don't necessarily need to put the two against each other. 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:37.320 You know, they're a whole unit. They play as a whole. 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:40.719 I think that everyone was just working right. You had 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:43.080 the running game, you had the tight end position doing 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:49.520 well as well, the old line. Nothing stands out. Do 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:52.280 you guys have anything that stood out that was ness? 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:55.560 I mean, there was one play, but in general they 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:59.200 did a pretty nice job. Steel getting in the end zone, 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:02.600 there was making amazing. There's so many things about that 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:06.040 that was just awesome, like so many. I mean Steel 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:11.399 scoring a touchdown, um spiking it into the stands. I 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:13.359 think the best part is that if you saw on 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:15.359 the TV. I don't know if you saw it on 0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:18.880 the on that on the TV's um the angle when 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:21.840 they're kicking the extra point. Zeke is in the end 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:25.880 zone running across because he went and fetched the ball 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:27.840 from the fans and told the fan, we're gonna get 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:29.760 you something else or whatever, because make sure he got 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:32.520 the ball for Steele. You know something that Steel wasn't 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:34.439 thinking about in the moment. I'm so excited. He just 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:37.280 scored a touch down and spikes it into the stands 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:39.760 and he's gonna want this ball, right. I think Zack 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:44.200 Martin said that last year, Um Zeke scored and gave 0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:46.639 him the ball and he kind of you know, just 0:18:46.680 --> 0:18:48.280 kind of threw it down and spiked and they were 0:18:48.320 --> 0:18:51.760 all getting onto him about that was a terrible spike. 0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:56.320 I mean, you know, bring some authority, all right. You 0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:59.160 know he said he catches that he's never dropped that 0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:02.840 pass and in the you know, in practice or whatever. 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:07.520 But I thought seventeenth person to catch a touchdown at 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:11.160 the time, Yeah, to have a touchdown. No, d Law 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:16.040 broke the record at seventeen. Okay, the record was sixteen seventeen, 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:22.720 Steel was eighteen nineteen. Now Colston was nineteen. So I 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:26.320 got McGovern in the only twelve of the nineteen playoffense 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:31.840 seven different non special record. I'm guessing that has to 0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:37.119 be a record. Right are we doing? You want to? 0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:40.080 Can we do? Can we do it? Joe Burrow segment? Danny, No, 0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:42.760 We're not doing it. Joe Burrows segment. Get out of here? Amazing, Like, 0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:47.000 what are y'all talking about? Get out of here? Hey, listen, 0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:53.240 Danny McCrae, you have been saying, we looked I got 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:55.240 nothing to say, although they didn't. Couldn't hear him on 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:59.320 the mic? That was Danny McCrae interrupting our show? Is 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:01.840 that called a show? Bum? No? We're all, yeah, well, 0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:06.919 you just think we're sitting around the table having a conversation, Danny, 0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:12.200 we do the show in the studio, right, He's right, though, 0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:14.639 he is right, But behind that conversation, the three of 0:20:14.680 --> 0:20:17.080 us have Danny and I have been arguing about this 0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:19.720 defense since training camp, Like every day I come into 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:22.960 work and He's like, top ten, top ten, and I'm like, okay, buddy, 0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:25.000 And like over the course of the season, I've been 0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:27.719 like okay, and now I'm just like, you're You're right. 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:30.320 I got nothing. Let be honest. I don't think even 0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:33.160 he thought they would be as good as they are, right, No, no, 0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:35.439 he did. Anybody could have imagined. It goes back to 0:20:35.680 --> 0:20:38.879 what I mean, even even the people that were banging 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:42.760 the table for Mica, like the big diehard draft Micah people, 0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:45.040 even they had no idea what was coming. I mean, 0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:48.160 you could never have predicted how successful they've been. Yeah, 0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:52.520 Dan Quinn is just a remarkable defensive Quinn. I don't 0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:54.159
