That's a tough deals your first So 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:04.000 I'm gonna do without you. Oh gee, I don't know. 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:06.920 They might actually try it, they might actually do better. 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:10.280 I figured you might be one of those honorary tea 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:12.480 shot guys where you just sit on a hole and 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:16.720 you hit a tea shot for guys and shake hands. Yeah, well, 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:20.800 that would be very dangerous for the surrounding holes. Want 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:23.280 that you want me to be in different places at 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:26.400 one time. If I'm in the same spot, na, that 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:29.040 could be dangerous for people around me. All right, So 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:32.000 that's going on. And I assume there are former cowboys 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.640 that are involved in in the golf tournament out there. 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:38.200 Where are you? We're at this Shaw Creek. I believe 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:42.440 it's called Shaw Creek out here in Weatherford. Okay, that's right. 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:46.080 That's the ray Field was Rayfield Stumping Grounds out west 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:48.919 of Fort Worth and Weatherford. That's right. He always did 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:52.600 love this this area. And you know it's Squaw Creek 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:56.720 Golf Club out here in Ranch House Roads. All right. Well, 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:01.040 so we got a lot to talk about. Yes, so 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:04.320 much to get into after a twenty two to ten 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:09.240 win over the defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:14.800 and next up those Philadelphia Eagles Sunday night football coming up. 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:17.760 But a lot to talk about from what happened yesterday 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:21.360 out in La at Sofi Stadium. You know what I 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:27.400 told you on Friday about defending team champions. That's not 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:31.320 the same team that won whatever they're defending. This is 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:37.080 not boxing. This is and I saw on a couple 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:42.560 of the graphics this morning that my nineteen ninety one 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:46.600 Giants we will as far as offensively at this point 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:49.280 of the season, we were one of the lowest scoring, 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:57.000 returning or defending champion offenses in history in nineteen ninety one. 0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:00.320 Because you didn't have you still didn't have Bill there, right, 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:03.520 we did. We didn't have either bills. Yes, he had 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:06.360 both bills. They both left and we were stuck with 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:14.880 Ray Hamlet and he it turned out just like it sounds, 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:19.160 badly and he made the wrong decision at quarterback, Yes 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:24.479 he did well. The Cowboys are surviving with the only 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:28.000 decision they could make at quarterback with Dak Prescott out 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:34.440 because Cooper Rush continues to lean on that defense of 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:37.400 this Dallas Cowboys team. And when you can do that 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.800 and everybody's like, well, how's he doing it, I said, well, 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:43.279 all he's got to do is score eleven points because 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:46.480 the last two opponents they held to ten. So that 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:50.280 doesn't happen very often. And you can actually win a 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:54.960 football again game making only ten first downs in a game. 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:58.000 That's that was an amazing stat that Bill came up with. 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:02.520 I looked at the stats, I said yesterday. I looked 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:04.960 at the stats at the end of the game on 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:07.159 my app and I was like, well, wait a second. 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:10.960 It says Rams had fourteen first downs that Cowboys had ten. 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:17.159 This must be the halftime stats. And then no, that 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:21.240 was the in the entire game, the Cowboys had ten 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:26.480 first downs. So I quickly did sixty two years worth 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:31.520 of research. And the last time that a Cowboys team 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:36.040 won a football game with only ten first downs made 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:41.000 was Christmas Day nineteen seventy one, a playoff game against 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.839 the Minnesota Vikings in which they won twenty to twelve. 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:47.480 The last time they won a football game with less 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:52.360 than ten first downs was November first, nineteen seventy against 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:55.160 Philadelphia twenty one to seventeen, a game in which they 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:58.719 had eight first downs, and I wonder if they had 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:02.279 more than two hundred thirty nine total yards. When's the 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:05.560 last time you've seen a team win a game ten 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.760 first downs, no more than two hundred and thirty nine 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:13.760 total yards, and your quarterback is ten of sixteen for 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:17.640 one hundred and two yards passing. And we spoke of 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:24.400 the doomsday, that very doomsday defense on Friday. Correct, we did. 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:28.040 And I mean, you're come build with this with a 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:31.159 little nugget of information, which I really appreciate it, but 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:33.920 it sounded kind of like a call to arms, because 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:35.880 you know, I have to come up with this this 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:41.720 new defensive name. Oh, I think I have it for me. 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:44.640 I think it sound like you were throwing some bait 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:48.240 out there for me. Bill, I don't know that directed 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:52.039 for me or not. Well, I think I have it 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:58.480 for you. Compliments of DeMarcus Lawrence. Okay, he had shelled 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:05.080 the video on Twitter of his uh touchdown return and 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:13.920 it was hashtag hashtag underdogs d A W G S. Wow, 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:19.640 that's not now here's the name right, It's got a 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:24.000 little got a little roto During the game yesterday Douglas 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:27.280 barricklow in that room right over there, and I came 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:32.360 up with the nickname. All right, it's a combination of 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:42.880 Doomsday and Nobody's Underdog spelled dawgs. This is the Doomdogs 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:55.000 defense Doom Dogs, the Doomdog's defense Underdogs. I came up 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:57.920 with mine, and you had a few appres. Some guy 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:01.000 came up on Twitter with the most Waters, which you know, 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:04.200 kind of cool. But now that it's just two, you know, 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.880 I think it needs to have two names. It's not. 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:11.640 It is two names. It's two names. It's dooms and 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:15.760 it's dogs dooms Dogs. Now mine's too, it's under and 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:19.640 it's dogs. But even with that, both, y'all still suck. 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.000 You meet the criteria, but yet it still sucks. We'll 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.360 keep working on it as long as they keep playing. 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:30.920 I got it right here. Okay, okay, don't don't strike 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:34.880 out now you're already with twice. Yeah, that's true, that's 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:39.560 so true. Okay, I'm coming with You can't get better 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:42.160 than doomsday, right, that's just the way that is. You 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:44.160 can't get back, So you have to have some like, 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:47.959 somehow a derivative of that. So with Doomsday I go 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:54.920 d w A Doomsday with attitude. It's new school. It's 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:59.599 new school. It speaks to the different cultures of doomsdays. 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.480 You know, back then you have the more conservative Tom 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:07.880 Landry solid I mean just methodical, right. But these guys, 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:10.480 I mean, they're new school, you know what I'm saying 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:12.839 that they're the three point that we talked about, and 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:16.480 we started talking about, you know, the the u n 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:20.080 WA and how they brought this change to the music genre. 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:25.040 These guys are bringing a change as well. Doomsday with 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:34.599 attitude just wa, no Doomsday two two attitude. All I 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:40.800 gotta say, if you gotta explain it, it's not work. Well, well, 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:44.000 I think I just heard three explanations from somebody else 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:50.680 already this morning. All of us really fun. Well, whatever 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:57.120 it is, this team has it on defense. They you know, 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:02.160 they were three plays away for totally shutting down the Rams. 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:05.160 The Rams ended up with three hundred and I think 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:09.319 it was six three hundred twenty three yards. Three plays 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:14.559 attributed to half of that. So they had three plays 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:19.600 for like one hundred and sixty four yards sixty three yards, 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:24.360 and they had sixty one plays for not even two 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:29.199 hundred yards, So they were nearly perfect in that game 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:34.000 and holding him to ten points back to back ten 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:38.199 point games, and PR tweeted out that that hadn't happened 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:44.160 since two thousand and nine, two thousand nine, and when 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:46.880 was the last time the Cowboys started the season with 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:49.760 five straight games limiting an opponent to less than twenty 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:53.720 point nineteen seventy two, I believe, I think so they 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:58.360 are no same guy keep popping up. Yeah, that same 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:01.160 doom they keeps popping up. And here's another one that 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:05.880 popped up, and you can verify this for us, um 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:10.679 it was the one from nineteen eighty Oh, I know 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:16.600 what it was, starting the season off with twenty sacks 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:22.880 in the first five games. Now the most they needed 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:25.040 to put an asterisk by it because it incurred in 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:28.920 nineteen eighty seven. Don count three of those games were 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:33.360 replacement games. So to me, the record for the first 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:37.440 five games was nineteen eighty five, when they had twenty 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:39.959 four sacks in the first five games. So I want 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:42.600 to know how you ended up with that many sacks 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:46.800 in the first five games of eighty five. Hey, they 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:50.160 had to hold the ball longer. That's why the coverage 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:55.480 coverage we were. They knew if they threw it, it 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:57.720 was gonna get picked off. So they just took a sack. 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:01.040 That was the last thing I ever league interception. I 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.600 was out there like a vulture. Mike Down was waiting 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:05.960 out there like a hawk. Come on, man. They had 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:08.439 nowhere to go, baby, no where to go. And I 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:13.600 think the all times season record for sacks. I looked 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:18.160 it up. It was nineteen eighty five with sixty two. Yeah, 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:20.200 and remember that we talked about that, I think two 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:23.160 years ago. And then the Cowboys right now are on 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:29.160 pace for sixty eight because they're seventeen games. So that's 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:31.440 gonna have to have an asterisk by that because it's 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:37.000 a seventeen game season, right, But however you want to 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:40.959 slice it, they won a game with twenty two points 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:47.439 that the offense only scored one touchdown two actually two 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:50.599 field goals because they got a defensive return for a 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:55.760 touchdown and a block punt that turned into a field goal, 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:59.760 and they only on that possession gained four yards, so 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:05.720 nine nothing and your best player was playing on one 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:08.520 and a head leg. Yeah, well that fooled the Rams 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.120 because that year didn't look like it. You know what 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:12.920 the thing is about him Samone will say, well, he 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:17.400 only had two sacks. Well, he gets these sacks at 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:21.240 critical times, right. He closed out the game with a sack. 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:24.480 He closed out one of the drives in the fourth 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:26.840 quarter with a sack. I think it didn't end up. 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:30.760 They had to attempt a field goal because of it. 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:37.720 Michael Parsons, unbelievable. He was creating sack for other people. Yeah, 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:41.240 or pressures that were creating They should they should come 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:45.079 up with a stat for a pressure that that creates 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:51.400 an incompletion yeah, or an incompletion assist, because there were 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:54.719 times where he was just getting rid of the ball. Uh, 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:58.880 and somebody was probably getting a target or two. Okay. 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:02.840 So this game reminded me in some ways of a game. 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:05.640 And we talk about the limited number of first downs 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:09.000 just ten first downs, right, you asked, Okay, when was 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:11.839 the last time that a team won a game with 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:15.720 so few first downs and so few total yards? Right? 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:18.680 I got a game for you, you do, And Nate 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:23.920 Newton just walked into the something to say, But Nate 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:30.120 Newton was there on December fifteenth, nineteen ninety one, in Philadelphia, 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:35.120 a twenty five to thirteen win over the Eagles that 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:39.680 won the NFC East for the Cowboys thanks to Calvin Martin. 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:42.320 Kelvin Martin had the pup return in that game. The 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:46.800 Cowboys in that game and ate the Cowboys yesterday had 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.400 ten first downs and won the game. It's been fifty 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:51.960 years since the Cowboys team has won a game with 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.960 that few first downs. But in nineteen ninety one, that 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:58.040 win against the Eagles with a backup quarterback with Steve 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:02.240 Burline at quarterback, and it was, oh man, how cold 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.200 was it that day? Was cold? Yes, I was in 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:08.240 my bad rap though, uh huh. And Cowboys had eleven 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:12.320 first downs, won the game twenty five to thirteen. Cowboys 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:15.640 had eleven first downs and two hundred ten yards total 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:19.960 offense in that game, and uh and won the division. 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:24.680 And I just remember the locker room afterwards, two two 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:27.600 hundred and ten total yards. And so yesterday it was 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:30.920 how many to what was the time of possession? Well, 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:35.920 I'll have to click on this and that game that's 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:39.800 one of the gutsiest wins the Cowboys have ever had. 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:42.480 I was playing with the Giants at the time, and 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:46.440 I remember looking at that game, I thought you knew 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:50.080 that they were they had arrived. After that game That 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:53.920 was their signature game, and Eagles actually had thirty two 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:57.360 minutes and forty four seconds. Cowboys had twenty seven sixteen 0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:01.400 in that game. I remember Jimmy telling, uh, Steve Burlin, 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.320 I was telling us before the game go ahead. You know, 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:07.320 I don't care, do not throw the interception. I don't 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:09.240 care if you have to get rid of it. I 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:11.160 don't care where you throw, but just don't throw it 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:13.400 to the other team there. Don't take a sack, and 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:15.960 don't take a sack. Well, that was on us because 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:18.680 that the game before that they got them level and sacks. 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:22.360 That the Leving sack game that season. Yeah, and I 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:25.600 remember Jimmy telling us when we went into the meeting 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:27.480 that coming week when we was playing them for that 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:30.360 victory there, he told, I don't care if you gotta kick, 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:36.200 scratch goug hold. We don't want our quarterback getting hit, Okay, 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:39.840 And he told them, I don't care if you finished 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:43.400 the first half over eleven. Yeah, just do not take 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:46.080 a sack and get these people all right Troy. So 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:49.880 Troy was sacked eleven times earlier that season. Third game 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:52.320 of the year, it was twenty four nothing Philadelphia win. 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:56.240 Cowboys had eight first nouns in that game. Ninety total 0:16:56.400 --> 0:17:01.360 yards of offense, that's right, and four turnovers. But Burline 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:05.200 was nine out of thirty one in this game no 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:10.359 picks and won the game and won the game. But 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:12.919 it was a nine of thirty one for one hundred 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:17.040 and forty five yards, one touchdown, no interceptions. What was 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:23.199 Cooper Rush yesterday? Ten of sixteen o two. Burline actually 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:27.880 threw for forty three more yards than Cooper Rush did yesterday. 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:34.120 The key stat no picks, we one sack, one sack, 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:37.000 and I gave that up.

Okay, 0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:58.680 let me set this up with this little stat. We 0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:05.280 talked about it on Friday against Sean mcvay's Rams, when 0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:10.000 the Cowboys have played against the Rams the last four times. Now, okay, 0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:14.520 the importance of the run game, yes, absolutely two thousand. 0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:18.440 You remember twenty eighteen, I remember it well, playoff game 0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:23.120 at LA T. CJ. Anderson and Todd Gurley went off 0:21:23.200 --> 0:21:26.399 on the Cowboys. The Rams had two hundred and seventy 0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:29.719 three yards rushing and the Cowboys had fifty yards rushing. 0:21:30.040 --> 0:21:32.720 The next year, the Cowboys hosted the Rams one forty 0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:35.560 four to twenty one and out rushed the Rams two 0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:40.400 hundred sixty three to twenty two. The next year, close 0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:43.440 game twenty to seventeen. Rams won the run game one 0:21:43.560 --> 0:21:47.280 fifty three to one thirty six. Yesterday Cowboys win twenty 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:50.920 two to ten. Cowboys ran for one hundred sixty three 0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:55.399 yards and the Rams ran for thirty eight yards. So 0:21:55.560 --> 0:21:59.040 there you go. And that was what we were worried 0:21:59.040 --> 0:22:02.840 about before game right that the Rams would run right 0:22:03.160 --> 0:22:07.320 over them. And you know they had thirty eight yards 0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:13.480 and it was fifteen carries. Fourteen carries were for twenty 0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:16.840 five yards. There you go, all right, Nate Newton, we're 0:22:16.880 --> 0:22:21.159 talking run game. Let's talk Zeke. You know I did 0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:23.040 I do this on my show every week, you know, 0:22:23.280 --> 0:22:28.800 every if you're looking for identity and everybody. Every time 0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:32.960 we got beat last year, Oh they were more physical 0:22:33.040 --> 0:22:35.639 than us. Oh they ran the ball better than us. 0:22:35.960 --> 0:22:40.320 All of these things that we having one guy on 0:22:40.520 --> 0:22:43.520 this team, we went out the draft of the young 0:22:43.640 --> 0:22:47.400 guy from Tulsa who we said was physical, he liked 0:22:47.440 --> 0:22:51.240 to run the ball. And so now you got two 0:22:51.320 --> 0:22:53.439 guys on the team that want to be physical. Your 0:22:53.560 --> 0:22:57.280 love tackle and your and your main running back, Zekiel Elliott. 0:22:57.720 --> 0:23:01.399 Yesterday you went into a hostile territory with a great 0:23:01.520 --> 0:23:06.000 all world defensive tackle that can move all over the field, 0:23:06.400 --> 0:23:11.440 and you in your first three series featured Zeke, and 0:23:11.600 --> 0:23:14.480 all of a sudden you soften them up. Game is close, 0:23:14.800 --> 0:23:17.520 they go up, they put Pollard in and all of 0:23:17.520 --> 0:23:20.680 a sudden he just breaks through. How How was that 0:23:20.840 --> 0:23:24.879 so easy? Because Zeke for three series took on the 0:23:25.000 --> 0:23:28.320 blunt of all they had to give, and he softened 0:23:28.400 --> 0:23:33.440 them up and he made a big play for this kid. See, 0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:35.800 people don't understand that. And then when you have when 0:23:35.840 --> 0:23:38.639 the quarterback later on any game in the first in 0:23:38.720 --> 0:23:41.600 the first half, when the quarterbacks points to the mic 0:23:41.680 --> 0:23:46.920 backer and then to Jalen Rams at number five, saying one, two, 0:23:47.320 --> 0:23:51.200 these are me and your guys. He told, this is 0:23:51.280 --> 0:23:55.840 me and your guy right here and right here the 0:23:56.000 --> 0:24:00.879 linebackers sideways. He don't come forward. He stepped side polo 0:24:01.000 --> 0:24:04.280 looking at the linebacker. He's come Jalen baring down and 0:24:04.440 --> 0:24:08.400 almost broke your quarterback back. And now you're gonna tell 0:24:08.440 --> 0:24:10.680 me about a fifth seven yard run when you bought 0:24:11.400 --> 0:24:19.200 give a second quarterback, no, sir, thank you. To emphasize 0:24:19.400 --> 0:24:23.040 what Nate was talking about, if you go to the 0:24:23.160 --> 0:24:28.080 fourth quarter, yes, it was the Cowboys second possession, full 0:24:28.160 --> 0:24:31.200 possession in the fourth quarter. They were up nineteen to ten. 0:24:31.800 --> 0:24:34.120 They got the ball at the forty eight yard Yes, 0:24:35.400 --> 0:24:40.280 two tight end five yards, two tight end three yards, 0:24:40.960 --> 0:24:46.480 three tight ends seven yards all Zeke. Then they bring 0:24:46.600 --> 0:24:49.920 in Pollard and I saw this. They hit Pollard in 0:24:50.000 --> 0:24:53.000 the same hole that Zeke had been running in. But 0:24:53.240 --> 0:24:57.000 his speed fooled him. He popped through there and they 0:24:57.119 --> 0:24:59.800 weren't ready for the chain, thank you right, and he 0:25:00.119 --> 0:25:05.600 hit it for eight yards. So they had one, two, three, four, five, six, 0:25:06.240 --> 0:25:11.359 seven eight plays in a row with two or three 0:25:11.520 --> 0:25:15.720 tight ends or a fullback in the game, and they 0:25:15.960 --> 0:25:22.600 ended up driving all the way to the field goal 0:25:22.760 --> 0:25:26.280 that gave them the twenty two to ten. In that series, 0:25:26.800 --> 0:25:29.920 I think they threw maybe one pass the whole time. 0:25:30.280 --> 0:25:34.399 They just ran, ran, and ran. They threw one slant 0:25:34.480 --> 0:25:37.320 pass the CD and then on top of us, Everson 0:25:37.400 --> 0:25:41.920 in you guys, and we was down. Maybe they was 0:25:42.080 --> 0:25:45.639 leading the time of possession, but they came in and 0:25:45.680 --> 0:25:49.159 they pounded that ball and we came within a minute 0:25:49.520 --> 0:25:54.120 of having thirty thirty thirty. If our defense can play 0:25:54.240 --> 0:25:57.960 thirty minutes or less a game, we will be in 0:25:58.200 --> 0:26:03.399 every game. But the fear for me is is that 0:26:03.840 --> 0:26:06.879 we started giving up from thirty two minutes thirty two minutes, 0:26:07.080 --> 0:26:10.959 and it's gonna hurt our defense. But yesterday, at certain times, 0:26:11.240 --> 0:26:15.240 my hat's off to kill him. Yep, this this dude. 0:26:16.520 --> 0:26:18.960 And last year when I said this, we went away 0:26:19.000 --> 0:26:21.040 from the run. But this dude has figured it out. 0:26:23.400 --> 0:26:26.000 Now you're talking about people looking at you in a 0:26:26.080 --> 0:26:28.960 different light, because I know everything in his heart want 0:26:28.960 --> 0:26:31.440 to throw that ball. Hey hey, well hold up, you 0:26:31.520 --> 0:26:34.080 got stuffing right there? What did you say? Bill? And 0:26:34.240 --> 0:26:39.560 I will always remember that it's in his DNA. Yes, yes, 0:26:40.320 --> 0:26:42.879 when you said that, that just cleared everything else. He 0:26:43.160 --> 0:26:47.400 can't help himself, but when you fight against your instincts. 0:26:47.480 --> 0:26:50.640 The way I know he's been and the way he's 0:26:50.640 --> 0:26:54.359 been handling this team, especially when Dak went down to me, 0:26:54.560 --> 0:26:56.920 that says a lot about him, And I'm glad you're 0:26:56.920 --> 0:27:00.639 saying that about Zeke as well. This is a guy 0:27:00.720 --> 0:27:02.679 that can pick up block better than any running back 0:27:02.720 --> 0:27:05.200 I think I've ever seen. I mean, he is putting 0:27:05.240 --> 0:27:07.280
