That's lazy. Wait, wait, 19 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 1: don't you haven't even thought about it? About it? Yeah? 20 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 1: Because you aren't on the same schedule as the team. 21 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: In the morning, that score just comes to me. Yeah, 22 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 1: it's like that, yea. And the team is out on 23 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: the practice field okay, outdoors three days in a row. Day, yes, 24 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: three days in a row. Do you understand why? Yeah? 25 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: Because Gronk said that they practiced too much inside. No, 26 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: I was gonna say this thing. Now, do you realize 27 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: this is the first grass game since the second game 28 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 1: of the season. I did not realize that that's why 29 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,799 Speaker 1: they're out there. Yeah, Washington the last one, right, Yes, 30 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: So there's a big sign in the locker room about 31 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: what kind of cleats to use to get used to 32 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: what they're projecting. The field would be at Soldier Field, 33 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 1: so they haven't had to wear any grass cleats since 34 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: Washington week two. That rock that does this? Is it 35 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: that difficult as you tell me? Wow? I just thought 36 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: shoes with shoes changed cleats for change gates. But I 37 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 1: didn't have to practice on grass before I played on glass. 38 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: I grew up on grass. But doesn't doesn't that help 39 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 1: your legs? Though? Glass definitely helps my legs and it 40 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: slows down those little jack rabbit Why to think I 41 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: can figure them out? A little bit quicker, are you 42 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,679 Speaker 1: are you just put that in their minds right, Yeah, 43 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 1: you're slower they are. Having said that the turf is 44 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: a little different than it was back in your day, 45 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: we'll see it. And and my turf my home was turf, 46 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: which put me at disadvantage because trust me, they are quicker. 47 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: They feel quicker on AstroTurf that they just seem to 48 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: have a little bit more bounce. So I have to 49 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: speed up my brain at home, like AstroTurf. Yeah, be 50 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 1: worth stadiums. I believe we're probably with Minneapolis Chicago. When 51 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: your tackle, does it feel like you're landing on the soda? 52 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: Minneapolis chicasogo and wait, Minnieapolis Chicago astrodome. The astrodome was 53 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: the worst. Well you, sunny, you mentioned the astrodome and AstroTurf. 54 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: I would love to ask my sunning laws, who are 55 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: all yeah, age twenty five through thirty three, if they 56 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: have any idea what how the term AstroTurf ever came about, 57 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: or if they've ever heard of the term astro turf 58 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: that follow that, follow that up, if what their interpretation is. 59 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: If you say, yeah, and we're playing on grass, We'll 60 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 1: let me say that Vicky's that's that common side track here, 61 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: Like I said, went over my way, over my head. 62 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: I just got it. You. I don't think you should 63 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: make a huge deal out of Hey, we're playing on grass, 64 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: just we you know, except for the weather, except for 65 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: just you know what mother nature brought. The field itself 66 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 1: was never anything that we had to just master that 67 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: week before we played. You know. But there's different cleats though, right, Yeah, 68 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: it's different cleats. Stop saying that, man, damn it. I 69 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: know it's different cleats. It's like the Mutters we used 70 00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: to play with the high school, right but just it, Um, 71 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: I don't I didn't think it took that much of 72 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: an effort just because you're playing on a different type 73 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: of turf. Let me ask you this, Mickey Um. In 74 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: the past, has Jason Garrett when they played at Washington, 75 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: they always practiced the whole week, not the whole week, right, 76 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: So that's different grass all all training camp too, right way, Yeah, 77 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: I don't think it's. I don't think they're trying to 78 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: mimic the weather this week. I mean it's it's it's 79 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: gonna be sixty degrees today and sunny, and you know, yeah, 80 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: you won't get that. Well, Chicago on Thursday night, you 81 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 1: either here your preference, regardless of whether it's turf or grass. 82 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 1: Would you rather practice in nice weather outdoors or inside? Oh? 83 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: Nice weather outdoor? Exactly? Nice? Weak? Do I mean you come? 84 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: I'm a Texas guy, Like I said, we grew up 85 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: on just grass and so you know, playing all those years, 86 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: you know, teenager whatever. We didn't even know what astro 87 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: turf was when we first got on astro if that 88 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: was like a luxury you're in high schools. I never 89 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: played on it. I didn't play on it until I 90 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: got into college and at by your Classic for the 91 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 1: most part. So that was big time stuff back then, 92 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,919 Speaker 1: and it was nice and new. But then as you 93 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: started getting into it, you realize the dangers of it, 94 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: you know, to your body and also to your psyche. 95 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: If you have somebody running a four three running right 96 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: by you and you're wondering, like, wow, that guy's much 97 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: faster than usual, you know, than he is on glass. 98 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 1: So yeah, that was new then. Now it's just normal. 99 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: It's no big deal. I think the first time I 100 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 1: saw grass field, or actually I mean an artificial turf field, 101 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: was between my junior and senior year in high school, 102 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 1: we went to Northern Illinois for a journalism workshop and 103 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: we got to play off like a pick up football 104 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 1: game on their field and was like whatever, I mean, 105 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. It was a middle linebacker. It was 106 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: a gradassket right. You realize how that turf was if 107 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: you fell on it, like all of a sudden, you 108 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: skin your knees up, and it's like, who wants a 109 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: play on this stuff? And in the astro in the 110 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: astrodome you could actually see where the stitching was failing. Yeah. Yeah, 111 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: it was just gaps about the Eagle stadium just as 112 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: bad if worthy. Right. Oh yeah, I believe that was 113 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: can I mean with the why I received his name 114 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: to two acls on the same play, Yes, toward both 115 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: as I want to say, maybe Yesdell Davis from I 116 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: think he was the LSU kid. Oh yeah. It was 117 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: like carpet that had gaps in it. Basically it was 118 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: creat that was painted grain. Michael Irvin can tell you 119 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: all about it. Yeah, um, you know. But in the 120 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: past and in fact for since last year, Cowboys getting 121 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: on a roll. I mean, Jason Garrett is on a 122 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: routine that they are going outdoors for practice on Wednesday, 123 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: and it's inside the rest of the week. And and 124 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: I include that went on this year as well. But 125 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: you know, he is a creature of routine as far 126 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: as that goes, And so it is it's a reason, 127 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: I mean a lot, a lot of it is if 128 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: the team's going, well, we're going to do the same thing. 129 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: You know, it's almost like a superstition. Maybe he's just 130 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: given up on the security part of it. It's like 131 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: anybody watching watch us practice, go ahead, Yeah, we got 132 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: no secrets anymore. Yeah, all right. It was a very 133 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: short Jason Garrett press conference today. The media out of 134 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: questions after about three about about the Jerry Jones on 135 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: the fan making headlines this morning with his spot on 136 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,559 Speaker 1: the fan this morning. I think every question for fifteen 137 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: minutes was about Jason Garrett. Am I wrong, No, you're right, 138 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: just just his faith in Jason and um what he 139 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: needs to do to secure another contract. And Jerry doubled 140 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: down on what he said after the game. Yeah, and 141 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: question we wanted to know what it was, and Jerry said, 142 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: there's no bar. So that for what it's worth, not 143 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: that there isn't a level that you have to get 144 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: to in terms of performance. Yeah, six and ten is 145 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,719 Speaker 1: probably not going to get it done. But look at it, 146 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: all of that makes sense until after the season, right, 147 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: it's all predicating on how far he goes. If we 148 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: do wild card round, yes that's a great win. But 149 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: if you lose the next week in the division opener, 150 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: then he's out. I believe if he goes to the 151 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,959 Speaker 1: to the championship, to the next round NFC Championship, then 152 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: I think we're talking a whole different thing because if 153 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: we're in that NFC Championship, that means things have started clicking, 154 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: and that's the Jason Garrett and the Cowboys that we've 155 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: expected all along. And then Jerry Jones will sit there 156 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: and say, see that's why I waited. Here go Jason, 157 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: this is a contract. Well it Rob told me what 158 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: he said. I said, what was the gist of everything 159 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: he said? And he told me the most important thing 160 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: and I had to wait like seventeen minutes through the 161 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: press conference for the last thing. He said, Jason Garrett 162 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: to be coaching in the NFL next in the NFL. Yes, 163 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: that was the headline maker. Yeah, and then it was 164 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,959 Speaker 1: thanks Jerry. Yeah, they didn't even well, they were out 165 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: of time, out of time, So that was the last 166 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: time I didn't hear it. That was the last thing yourself. Okay, okay, Rob, 167 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: brief us like you something, Man, I have to do 168 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,439 Speaker 1: a good job as well. I mean, I don't care 169 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 1: if you're out of time. You've got the odor. He's 170 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 1: not going to pedalyze the station. That's a cliffhanger. It's 171 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: like a Sopranos ending to five years of shows. Right, 172 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: So when I listened to the archive, I'll have to 173 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: do is go to the n to the end. Okay, 174 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 1: all right? That was that was the money quote. Yeah, 175 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: that is a money quote, Rob, Rob. He summed it 176 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,599 Speaker 1: up perfectly for me. When when I asked him what 177 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: you said, Uh, he said Jason to be coaching in 178 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: the NFL. That is so cryptic. I didn't think Jerry 179 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 1: had that in it. That's very cool. I mean he's 180 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: endorsing Jason as a terrific coach. I mean he said 181 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: he's he's the guy for the job. He also said 182 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: that Paul Mesican. But again it goes back to the 183 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,319 Speaker 1: very last thing he said, and that's what the media 184 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,319 Speaker 1: is jumping on to. Hey, anybody out they want to 185 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:24,679 Speaker 1: take him out of my hands, Like, what is that. 186 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: He's here, he'll be available. Well, the topic column us 187 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: in New York are projecting he'll be the new Giants. 188 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: I'm sure are they? I know it's been already, it 189 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: really has. And I would imagine that cryptic statement that'll 190 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: help you they ate. Oh my goodness, Yeah, greaz Well, 191 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: I was listening this morning to a Chicago station trying 192 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: to get a feel on what they're talking about about 193 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: the Bears, and they're they're talking about the Cubs. They're 194 00:11:53,400 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: not talking about the Bears, but because they did Russell, yeah, yeah, 195 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: and so anyway, but they did say they did have 196 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 1: a Bears beat writer to come on, and they referenced 197 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: the Jerry Jones quote and about Jason Garrett, and so 198 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: it's you know, in this day and age, he says 199 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,119 Speaker 1: anything on a Tuesday morning, Jerry Jones is making headlines 200 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: around the nation, if not the world with what he 201 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 1: says on that radio station. Well, I gotta say, I mean, 202 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: there's a few coaches that could be in Jason Garrett's 203 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: same position right now. Chicago coach. Everybody was crazy about him, 204 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,079 Speaker 1: you know, I know they're not putting the trigger this quickly, 205 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: but still the inconsistencies by these teams that were just 206 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 1: lauded last year to be the up and coming, especially 207 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: from the QB positions, and now all of a sudden, 208 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: you know, we've got these same problems that Chicago has 209 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: always had back to where they were. The Rams were 210 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: supposed to be so amazing. You know, head coach is 211 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,479 Speaker 1: supposed to be this genius. He's on talk shows, he's 212 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: probably hanging out with Jimmy Kimmel, and now all of 213 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: a sudden they can't, except for this last game, they can. 214 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: But it's like it's week to week with these teams, 215 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: you know, and Cleveland was going to the super Here 216 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: you go, kitchens Is even had a leg record yet 217 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: and they were going to the super Bow. Well, I 218 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: mean these next three opponents, not to look past the 219 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 1: Bears are a lot of ways it's mirror images of 220 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: each other. I mean, it's three opponents they've got coming up, 221 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: just like the Cowboys, the league playoff teams last year, Philly, 222 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,199 Speaker 1: LA and Chicago that have just struggled to find any 223 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: type of consistency that they had last year. It's not 224 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: just this team, and it's so strange when you look 225 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: at these teams that were just I mean, they were 226 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: just the darlings of the NFL. Trubisky was on as well, 227 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: on his way man, and now all of a sudden, 228 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: they just let you know how how how tough it 229 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: is to be consistent as a player. Okay, you we 230 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 1: take for granted the Georgians, the Lebrons, and the I mean, 231 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: we can just even stay local with the larger starbacks 232 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: that Tony Dorsets, the Image Smiths. We take for granted 233 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 1: their consistency, and we just talk about the interceptions that 234 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 1: we got here that was taken for granted. It's like, oh, 235 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,599 Speaker 1: that's what we're doing around here. I copied off of 236 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 1: Charlie Waters. Somebody else copied off of me. That culture 237 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: will continue, No, man, that is that is not always 238 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: the case. And it's so confusing as to why in 239 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: such a short period of time these guys have showed 240 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: this inconsistency on several teams that we've been looking at. 241 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: You know, it reminded me of that when I saw 242 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: Zekiel Elliott's rushing total and somewhat caught me by surprise 243 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: because I hadn't been following it week to week, he's 244 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: got nine hundred and ninety yards of rushing, so he 245 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: needs ten yards for a thousand yard season, which would 246 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: be three out of four and would have had four 247 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: out of four if not for the suspension. Right, he 248 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: came up to sixty yards short. So I said, oh, yeah, 249 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: what's the record? Why? I said, well, it's Emmett Smith, right, 250 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: eleven consecutive one of thousand yards seasons. Wow. And it's 251 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: not just a thousand, right, any running back these days, 252 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: on us level, on Zeke's level, a thousand, they would 253 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: be disappointed just seventeen. Yeah, way more than a thousand. Yes, 254 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: that's the consistency. That's impressive. That's and that's why I 255 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: always thought that was what made Emmett special, his consistencies. 256 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: And he had always talked about that, what do you 257 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: want to He goes, I don't want to be one 258 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: of these guys where oh I get fourteen hundred, then 259 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: I get eight hundred. I want to be consistent. And 260 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: he worked very hard at being consistent and he probably 261 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: and he came up short three seasons in the nine hundreds, 262 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: so he would have had fourteen if if if David 263 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: Shula would have handled handed him the ball his rookie 264 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: year at ninety he would have had a thousand yards 265 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: his rookie season and then the other last the last 266 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: two that he didn't have. He was in the nine 267 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: hundreds and they were awful those years, so he could 268 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: have had fourteen consecutive one thousand yards seasons. And I 269 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: like that. I like the way he did it versus 270 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: say La Damian Thomason. You know, everybody made that big push. 271 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: He made the big push for two thousand. Well after 272 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: the two thousand man he was done right, you know, 273 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: you push for that two thousand, that's great, you know, 274 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: but Emmett was clearly more consistent, and that's what puts 275 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: him at the top, because you know, you start going 276 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: for these mercurial and hook your leading efforts with two 277 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: thousand yards, you don't realize how much your body is 278 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: taking on. I don't care what size you are, I 279 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: don't care how big the opponent is. You run for 280 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: two thousand yards, that means you're getting a whole lot 281 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: more hits. You're getting a whole lot more hits, and 282 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: you don't realize it because of the euphoria of what 283 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: you're doing and all of a suddenly in the offseason 284 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: and then the next season comes around, it's just something's gone. Yeah, 285 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: something's depleted. It's like you played two seasons in one. Wow. 286 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: It might have caught up with DeMarcus Murder DeMarco, DeMarco Murray, 287 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: DeMarcus DeMarco because he had those three I think it 288 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: was three in a row thousand, but he hit that 289 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: what was in seventeen eighteen hundred and my favorite guy, 290 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: by the way, nothing after one of the most day. 291 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: He had a ton of touches in college too. Yeah 292 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: that was this is pro. That's post knee surgery as well, 293 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: because in college he was much faster. But yeah, when 294 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: he got here he had to change his whole style 295 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: of running. Amazing to me, he was real pro. Yeah, 296 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,199 Speaker 1: he really was. I love that guy. Yeah, he was 297 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: one of my favorites. All Right, we continue with more. 298 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: We'll dive into these Chicago Bears when Talking Cowboys continues 299 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 1: in a moment.

You know 351 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: OU played TCU two your great last year. It was 352 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: OU in Texas. I mean that thing and what a 353 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: scene that was the year before TCU against Ou, and 354 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 1: it was I was very surprised how there were so 355 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: many more OU fans there than TCU fans there or 356 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: TCU bit now it's smaller school or whatever. But they, 357 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: you know, the city of Fort Worth didn't jump in 358 00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,360 Speaker 1: like they normally do. But I think every Virtue, every 359 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: Baptist in North Texas is going to try to be 360 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: at this one because I think Baylor's got a good 361 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 1: shot at Battista A Law. That's the thing. That Baylor's got. 362 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: They've gave got quite a clientele out there. Okay, So 363 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: so every Baptist in North Texas be at at AT 364 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: and T Stadium because it could be this could be 365 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 1: the biggest win in Baylor football hit. Baylor's had a 366 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: lot of football, great football wins. But Baylor has a 367 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 1: chance to make this college football playoff if if Oregon 368 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 1: knocks off Utah on Friday night, they'll know before the 369 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: game on Saturday that if they win that game, they 370 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: got as good a shot as anybody I'm getting in 371 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 1: that four team playoffs since Alabama got beat on Saturday, 372 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 1: four spots up for grads, up for grass Right in 373 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: the seat geek dot com.

That's 379 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: a monster game in McKinney at two thirty on Saturday. 380 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 1: Finally lost to that tought. Yeah, but Lone Star's got 381 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 1: a quite a team. Frisco lone Star and that went 382 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: went to overtime Love Texas High School. Yeah, it's great. 383 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: So when do the other conference championship? When are they played? 384 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: PAC twelve is Friday night its word to get in 385 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: Utah SEC, which is Georgia and LSU is at two 386 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 1: thirty on Saturday afternoon. The ACC game, which is Clemson 387 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: versus Virginia, is at six o'clock Saturday night, and Ohio 388 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 1: State in Wisconsin the Big Ten title game is seven 389 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 1: o'clock Saturday night. So if I went to the Big 390 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 1: if I went to Baylor, Oklahoma, that's an eleven AM, 391 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 1: I would not get home in time to watch the 392 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: start of the SEC. Although you can record it, right, 393 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,640 Speaker 1: Yes you can. They do have that feature available for you, Vicky. 394 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: They don't call it recording any more. Yeah, right, like 395 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:10,399 Speaker 1: like grass grass, Yeah, okay. What is it that should 396 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,400 Speaker 1: give Cowboys fans hope here in the month of December? 397 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: What is the what's the biggest thing that gives them 398 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,199 Speaker 1: hope that this thing can be turned around and they 399 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: can make a run. I think you touched on it earlier, 400 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: and it's about the the problems with the teams that 401 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: they're that they're going to be playing. Everyone's in the 402 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: same position. The parody hate that word. I hate the 403 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: outcome of it all as well. The parody in this 404 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: league is uh, the hope that the Cowboys have that 405 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: they can win out, they can win out and also 406 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 1: the incompetence of the Philadelphia Eagles definitely something that they 407 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: can look forward to five and seven. I mean, I 408 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 1: you know, Doug Peterson said after I think disgusted was 409 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: the word he used. I mean, you know, I don't 410 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: know if the Cowboys gonna win this division by default, 411 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 1: but it's possibly that's what's gonna happen. But they Jason 412 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: witn't spoke about it yesterday. They can't have that mindset, 413 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 1: you know. He said, we just we have to play better. 414 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,719 Speaker 1: We can't fight, and we can't focus on what other 415 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,880 Speaker 1: teams are doing. And he said a lot he said 416 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: something inustrying. He said, executions a broad term that everybody's 417 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: been thrown around. You know, there's you just gotta play better, 418 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 1: and there's got a level you have to meet to 419 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: be able to execute better. And he put a lot 420 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: of the responsibility on the players to do that because 421 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: they turn on the film and they see what a 422 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,199 Speaker 1: large large group of these guys were here last year 423 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: that won ten games. They can do it. The problems 424 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,199 Speaker 1: We've been talking about this for weeks now that there 425 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: are plays to be made that they haven't made. Can 426 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: they do that? Can they rally together in a month 427 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,400 Speaker 1: and do that? That's the question. I mean. I saw 428 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 1: teams and this is I tried to do this weekend. 429 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 1: I tried to see teams that have the same hiccups 430 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: that the Cowboys had throughout the season and how they 431 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,239 Speaker 1: overcome it. If they overcame it, and you know, did 432 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: they do it defensively? Was it sometimes just Murphy's law? 433 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: They finally got a good bounce. Wasn't the fact that 434 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: they were just so determined as a team, that's so 435 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: unified as a team to where one hiccup dudn't cast 436 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:24,360 Speaker 1: this cloud over our huddle offensively or defensive. One hiccup, Yeah, 437 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: just play right on through it, guy, No big deal. 438 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 1: We've done this before. We're gonna play through it. I 439 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 1: saw the Ravens defense. That's how they react to everything negative. 440 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 1: Because Lamar Jackson didn't have a great game. They played 441 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: against the heck of a team. We have another great defense, 442 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: but their defense was determined to show that theirs was better. 443 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 1: Regardless of how San Francisco defense held down Lamar Jackson 444 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,640 Speaker 1: VPA one hundred five yards passing, maybe a one hundred 445 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: rushing held them down, no big deal, putting moves down 446 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:59,360 Speaker 1: on everybody. San Francisco still hunging there defensively. But Baltimore's defense, 447 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: you could see the swag that they had, the attitude 448 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: of the body legs that they had to wear no 449 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 1: matter what happens, We're going to overcome this game and 450 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: just take last night's game that wasn't perfect by either 451 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 1: any means by either team. Right busted coverage, two busted coverages. 452 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: One for it was. It was exciting but sloppy. Yeah, 453 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,959 Speaker 1: there's guys running down the field twenty yards open, wide open, 454 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 1: and and then the cornerbacks looking around like where's my help? 455 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: And I'm well, the safety's on the line of scrimmage. 456 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: He was in front of you, right, he thought it 457 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: was the Skies. Yeah, but then guess what, Rhodes comes back, 458 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: creates a fumble right with a great hit. I mean, 459 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: that wasn't he didn't stumble into that. He came back 460 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 1: with You could tell that he was trying to put 461 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: his shoulder on that ball deliberately because that's the kind 462 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,679 Speaker 1: of skill set that he has. And then Russell Wilson, 463 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: as good as he is, he gets a pass batted 464 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage and he tries to bat crap, 465 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: he tried batted down on one of his guys that 466 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,439 Speaker 1: had popped up in the air and where back up 467 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: in the air. Yeah, it's kind of shot. Like you say, 468 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: he's right, he tried to go down, it went up. Yeah, 469 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: And so you know, down right, perfection is not out there. 470 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 1: But you have to overcome those things, right, because if 471 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: that had turned the whole game around, you can say, well, 472 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: that was a weird play. How do we get beat 473 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: by that? So what gives a Cowboys fans hope? Because 474 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: this this team is still talented. Now they got to 475 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 1: play to their level of talent they got to The 476 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: offense has to play to their level of yards they gain. 477 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: They're still leading the league and yards per game and 478 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: it's not even close, but they're the touchdowns aren't even 479 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: close compared, right, And then I looked and see what 480 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: the Bears were doing, and so what have they played 481 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 1: twelve games? Six and six They've scored twenty four touchdowns 482 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 1: basically to a game. Cowboys are at thirty six and 483 00:27:54,960 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 1: we're thinking they're not scoring enough. Yeah, so you just 484 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 1: got to play to the level of your talent and 485 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 1: what you're capable of and not let these weird things 486 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: beat you. That's what Witten was trying to say. Yeah, 487 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: that's what he was trying to Yeah. I think what 488 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: gives him hope is Dak Prescott. I was going to 489 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 1: say the same thing, and I remember two years ago. 490 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 1: I think I've said this before, after that awful month 491 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,400 Speaker 1: of November two years ago, and for some reason, Dak 492 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: was doing a charity event or something, and I had 493 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: an opportunity to talk to him one on one. It 494 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 1: was on a player's day off, and I came away 495 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: from that interview saying, this guy truly believes that they're 496 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: going to turn this around. I mean, he had the 497 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: confidence that just exuded from him, and I could imagine 498 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: what it would be like in the locker room with 499 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 1: him leading the troops. And sure enough, in twenty seventeen, 500 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 1: they won for out the last five games. They got 501 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: Zeke back, and they lost to Seattle right before to Christmas. 502 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: That year, and that burst the bubble, but they did 503 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: turn it around from from the probably I would say 504 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 1: the worst three games stretch a Cowboys team has ever 505 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 1: had in the month of November that year, especially with 506 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: the talent that was on that team, even without Zeke 507 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: all right, and they had injury issues, but that's beside 508 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: the fact. But if you look at what's happened after 509 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving in all three seasons that Dak has been the quarterback, 510 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:20,239 Speaker 1: how has this team performed. In twenty sixteen, they went 511 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: three and two. They were three and one until I 512 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: believe what was a meaningless game the season finale at 513 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 1: Philadelphia Day. Okay. Last year after Thanksgiving they went four 514 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: and one, okay, or two years ago four and one. 515 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: Last year they went four and one after Thanksgiving. So 516 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: they are eleven and four after Thanksgiving every year that Dak, 517 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: which is always almost crucial part of our season, especially 518 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 1: coming off of this weird schedule of three games in 519 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 1: so many days and things of that nature. That's why 520 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: it's so crucial. Yeah, and so, and they're in the 521 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: same position they've been the last three years, where they're 522 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: in position where they can win the division. Okay, and 523 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: I think so much of it in the NFL is 524 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 1: you know, we talk about these teams it's a you 525 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 1: have to play consistently week to week. Well the Cowboys 526 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: obviously haven't been consistent week to week, but you got to. 527 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: You gotta just steady the forces and the troops and okay, 528 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: now it's winning time and not panic right the way 529 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: everybody else outside the building is. And I like what 530 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 1: he said yesterday about we've done enough talking. You know, 531 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: it's time to play. Talk is cheap, you know, he 532 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: and even with the point of he goes, the only 533 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 1: reason I'm talking is because I have to be out 534 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: here with you guys, he goes. But that's it. We're 535 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: done talking. We got to play. And everybody talks about well, 536 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 1: destiny's in our hand. Okay, fine, well it better not 537 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: be that piece of jello Jerry talks about. Right there, 538 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 1: you go, don't, lou Man, I'm trying to worry about you, Spad. 539 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: You got a lot of stuff going on. He does 540 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of fluids. But you you 541 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: nailed on it, though, Mick that Kellen said it yesterday. 542 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: They got to score more points. They have still been 543 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: able to move the football, but in those six loss 544 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 1: the red zone. They are seven of eighteen ze two 545 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 1: of six and these last two losses in the past week, 546 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 1: and so takeaways are great, they need more of those, 547 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: but they've been in position to score and they haven't 548 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 1: been able to do it. And that it's as simple 549 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: as that finishing drives. It's what we talked about side 550 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: the red zone, because every time we get in the 551 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: red zone, we just get things just get tense. That's true, 552 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 1: we just kind of lock up. I kind of relate 553 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: this too, back to the twenty fourteen season where after 554 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving they went to Chicago, Okay, and that team, I 555 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: think they were eight and four at the time, but 556 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 1: they had lost three out their last five games. They 557 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: were coming off a thirty three to ten loss to 558 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: Philly and they go to Chicago and I believe it's 559 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: a Thursday night game, yes, and they put up forty 560 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: one points a game. And I remember from the outset 561 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: of that game, the first drive of the game, Jason 562 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: Garrett going for it on fourth and one, maybe even 563 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 1: a couple of times on the opening drive, and it 564 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: set the tone for a four game wedding streak to 565 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: win to what happened on the Sunday Thursday turnaround that year. 566 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: Sunday Thursday turnaround, Yeah, which was a Sunday night in 567 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 1: New York twenty eight And then what happened on we 568 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 1: got back at four thirty five in the morning on Monday, 569 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: And what happened on Thanksgiving? They lost to Philly thirty 570 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: three to ten, the worst loss of the season. They 571 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: had nothing, They had absolutely nothing in that game. Their 572 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 1: legs were gone. Now I'm not suggesting that that New 573 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: England game took a lot out of them, but with 574 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 1: that weather and getting home probably not to bed the 575 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 1: three in the morning. Brad Sham brought it up in 576 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 1: the press conference the other day. He asked the question. 577 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: He goes, do you think your team looked tired the 578 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: second half? It's like, I don't know. They didn't play 579 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: very well the second half. It was thirteen seven. It 580 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 1: should have been thirteen ten at halftime if the ball 581 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: doesn't get deflected the field goal at the end of 582 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 1: a half, and then the second half they didn't play, 583 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: So I don't know. I would not making excuses. I 584 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 1: would imagine the physicality parties. You know, it's probably their 585 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 1: pretty physical game too. It's also these guys dragged down. Man. 586 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: That is all we keep thinking about is our failures. 587 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 1: That's all we hear about. Uh. And I know as 588 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 1: I watch a game, I compare every team to the Cowboys, 589 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 1: as I mentioned earlier. And you just as players. They 590 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: I'm sure they're doing the same thing. They're watching the game, like, man, 591 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 1: that guy Shaw got a lucky bounce. You know, I 592 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 1: missed that tackle. I had a guy all over me 593 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 1: when I caught my sideline, I didn't take mine to 594 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 1: the house and I got called exactly. And then you 595 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 1: have a couple of turnovers on offense and defense held 596 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 1: them one time not the other time. And then you 597 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: have a couple of missfield goals and that takes the 598 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 1: life out of it. And so it physically you could 599 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:06,480 Speaker 1: be an aspect, but also the mental aspect. People just 600 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 1: don't realize how mentally in tune you have to be 601 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,799 Speaker 1: throughout this entire season. That's what least of the consistency 602 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 1: is your mental approach to a game. It's just as 603 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,799 Speaker 1: important as your physical approach to a game. That's why 604 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 1: this game against the Bears is really important because then 605 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 1: you get the break in days. The need to get 606 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 1: this w first.

Yes, but there they have 658 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,960 Speaker 1: shampoo and then they have shampoo and condission. And I 659 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 1: was out of beardloob and so it worked great. That 660 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 1: morning I ran out of beard loop. I used my 661 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,840 Speaker 1: little free tube of beer loob this morning. Your beerloob 662 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:55,720 Speaker 1: or what I'm confused? Killing me too? It's got folm 663 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:59,840 Speaker 1: on it. SuDS. Those are SuDS, all right? With the 664 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 1: Chicago Bears? Is this a concern? Mitchell Trubisky was awful 665 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:08,080 Speaker 1: and the Bears fans will They were shouting from the 666 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,360 Speaker 1: rooftops that he was awful the middle part of this season. 667 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,680 Speaker 1: Is it a concern that this last game against Detroit 668 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:16,839 Speaker 1: he was twenty nine out of thirty eight for three 669 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:18,920 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty eight yards and three touchdowns. Did he 670 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,839 Speaker 1: get back on track a little bit? But Dak threw 671 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,680 Speaker 1: for almost five hundred against that Detroit secondary too so. 672 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:29,640 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean he's got the talent. Dak had 673 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,520 Speaker 1: a big Day's shot back to reality right there. That's 674 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,600 Speaker 1: a good stuff. Dak had a big, big day against Detroit. 675 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,319 Speaker 1: But it was gonna win. It was a win. He's 676 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 1: got talent. Trubisky's got talent. I think the accuracy has 677 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,880 Speaker 1: been something that they've they've really harped on with him. 678 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:48,240 Speaker 1: But he's he's another quarterback that they're facing that's mobile, 679 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,759 Speaker 1: he's athletic, Christoph shards Day. You got to keep him 680 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 1: in the pocket and get some consistent pressure on him, 681 00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,120 Speaker 1: and they've got to find a way to get takeaway, 682 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,880 Speaker 1: strip the ball, get the ball back to the offense. 683 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 1: I think the thing to me really stands out in 684 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,320 Speaker 1: this game, guys, is the running game for the Bears. 685 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 1: They can't It's like the Detroit game, they've struggled running 686 00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,200 Speaker 1: the football Chicago has cannot allow that to get going 687 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,919 Speaker 1: and then get Trubisky kind of settled in a comfort zone. Everson. Yeah, 688 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,399 Speaker 1: they've got a team that is uh like you said, 689 00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,279 Speaker 1: just like I was. You've got a couple of guys 690 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:21,560 Speaker 1: that the game breakers, little Cohen. I believe it's North 691 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,600 Speaker 1: Carolina Central, if I'm not mistaken the heck of an 692 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,279 Speaker 1: HBCU school. I think they lost in the Black CAUs 693 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 1: National Championships. This guy's a star. He's a star, and 694 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,319 Speaker 1: thank you. He's one of those guys that he can 695 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 1: be a problem for at a position that has been 696 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:44,000 Speaker 1: a problem for us, using our strengths against us. They're 697 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 1: gonna run the screen pass because we're always ears back 698 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 1: uh d laws going for it, Buness going forward, They're 699 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,040 Speaker 1: gonna run the screen passes. This guy can beat any 700 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 1: linebacker or strong safety that they put on him. He's 701 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,800 Speaker 1: gonna have to be double team. He would be. He 702 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,400 Speaker 1: would be as close to their Cole Beasley as you 703 00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:08,400 Speaker 1: can get a little quick guy. If you don't bottle 704 00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:09,880 Speaker 1: them up, he can take it all the way to 705 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:11,719 Speaker 1: the house on a little short pass. And these are 706 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,200 Speaker 1: the kind of things that we are wiped for because 707 00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 1: if I'm Chicago, I'm gonna say, all right, I running 708 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 1: game has been going. Well, let's go, let's get it 709 00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,279 Speaker 1: going today, Let's get it going this week. This team 710 00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,759 Speaker 1: is wipe for for us to take advantage of. Now. 711 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,480 Speaker 1: Taylor Gabriel is another guy, a little guy who to 712 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 1: Cole Beasley type out of Mesquite Horne High School. But 713 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,160 Speaker 1: he was out with a concussion last week. I'm not 714 00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,839 Speaker 1: sure what his status is, uh for this week's game. 715 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,840 Speaker 1: I also like the running back David Montgomery, a rookie 716 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,239 Speaker 1: out of Iowa status used to be with the Packers. Correct, No, 717 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,880 Speaker 1: he's a rookie this year. Okay, I'm talking about the 718 00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:49,439 Speaker 1: guy that just kicked off the team that converted wide 719 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 1: receiver from Stanford. It was also a Dallas Guys, they're 720 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,759 Speaker 1: a rushing stats just haven't I mean no, they haven't been. 721 00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 1: It hasn't been productive. They've only rushed for one hundred 722 00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,319 Speaker 1: yards twice all season. Now, you mentioned this last game 723 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 1: with Trubisky in his passing, Uh, they've actually two games 724 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,160 Speaker 1: in a row. He went for two seventy and three 725 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 1: thirty one net passing. So that's kind of an improvement 726 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,840 Speaker 1: that was against the Giants the week before. Yeah, and 727 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,680 Speaker 1: in the last two games they've they've scored five of 728 00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:20,400 Speaker 1: their twenty four touchdowns, so like twenty percent of their 729 00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,359 Speaker 1: touchdowns were scored in these last two games. Again, two 730 00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,799 Speaker 1: defenses that aren't very good, right, and then and then 731 00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,160 Speaker 1: the other game that they had a big touchdown game 732 00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,520 Speaker 1: against was earlier in the season. I believe it was 733 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:36,800 Speaker 1: Washington and their stellar They had four touchdowns. So nine 734 00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:41,160 Speaker 1: touchdowns of the twenty four have been in those three games. Yeah, 735 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,120 Speaker 1: and it would be I don't want to put the 736 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,520 Speaker 1: ink gloom in doing but I just I don't look 737 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:50,960 Speaker 1: forward to us proving Chicago right right, you know, I 738 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,160 Speaker 1: don't look forward to it. I want this team. And see, 739 00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,080 Speaker 1: that's what you have to worry about as a team. 740 00:41:56,160 --> 00:42:02,160 Speaker 1: As a defender, you worry about Wow, Okay, they trounced Detroit, 741 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:07,080 Speaker 1: trounce Chicago. Are we gonna be bad defense? Are we 742 00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,439 Speaker 1: there defense that can be easily maligned? That's that's gonna 743 00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 1: be the question. And actually that was one of the 744 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,799 Speaker 1: things Jerry brought up today about the defense playing better, 745 00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 1: that they haven't played as well as they needed to defensively. Oh, 746 00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:23,240 Speaker 1: it's eleven forty three. We gotta make picks. What. Oh well, 747 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:29,320 Speaker 1: all right, you're ready? No, okay, Rob, you're ready, sure ready. 748 00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:34,640 Speaker 1: Somebody was more ready that flew by. It was what 749 00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:38,400 Speaker 1: I said. They've got to be able defensively to not 750 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:40,839 Speaker 1: let what's been kind of a weakness for Chicago become 751 00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:44,440 Speaker 1: a strength. Stop the run game, get Trubisky uncomfortable. I 752 00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,640 Speaker 1: don't poke the bear, don't don't bear. Come on, I 753 00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,160 Speaker 1: like it. I like it. I like it. I got Dallas. 754 00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:51,759 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a little bit of a 755 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:55,840 Speaker 1: low scoring game. I'll go twenty one nineteen Cowboys in 756 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:57,680 Speaker 1: a in a kind of a dog fight, kind of 757 00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:04,200 Speaker 1: a rob good store. There's like a historical Sorry, I'm sorry, 758 00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:09,360 Speaker 1: got some historical It was twenty three to nineteen, the 759 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:15,319 Speaker 1: famous quarterback shuttle game in nineteen seventy one. We were 760 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:19,600 Speaker 1: stop where Landry have even got me on that star 761 00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:23,520 Speaker 1: boing Morton shuffling in plays. He did every other play, 762 00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:26,200 Speaker 1: and they lost that game twenty three to nineteen in 763 00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:30,239 Speaker 1: Chicago against the Bears. The next Monday, he named Stobock 764 00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 1: the starting quarterback in Super Bowl. Bill is here to 765 00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:34,920 Speaker 1: tell you. They won ten straight games and won the 766 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:36,759 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. You could have done more than that, but 767 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:40,279 Speaker 1: so there you go. Who's your pick? My pick is 768 00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,279 Speaker 1: the Cowboys always, Okay, I'm sorry. I'm gonna always pick 769 00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:45,320 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. And the reason I'm gonna pick them is 770 00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,800 Speaker 1: because we're finally offensively not worried about the defense. I 771 00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,480 Speaker 1: think we're gonna return to what we do offensively. We're 772 00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,000 Speaker 1: gonna control the pace of the game, not defensively. I'm sorry. 773 00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,560 Speaker 1: They're gonna feed off of our offense as they always 774 00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,320 Speaker 1: have done. Have you got it, Mick? Yes, I do 775 00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:04,120 Speaker 1: twenty out of the way. I'm sorry, twenty I got 776 00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:09,520 Speaker 1: twenty three. Twenty kicks the winning field goal.
