I hadn't done about three shows today. 16 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 5: I'm sorry. 17 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 3: It's all of the. 18 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 6: Place almost really. 19 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 7: Yes, it's Victory Monday's doing awesome. 20 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 3: It's a good thing. 21 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 2: We are doing awesome, just like the Cowboys winning in 22 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 2: a week sixteen. 23 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 3: We love to see it over Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 24 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 2: Indeed indeed spoiling them actually because they thought that they 25 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 2: was gonna at least be in the runnings for the 26 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 2: NFC South and clinch a playoff spot, but unfortunately for 27 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 2: their case, they did not. So now the Cowboys, of course, 28 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 2: the pride that they showed on Sunday and Sunday Night Football, 29 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 2: just talk about that, and just the grit that. 30 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 3: They showed against the Tampa Bay Buccaneer. 31 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 8: That's the thing that made me happiest about the game. 32 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 8: I mean, yeah, the two takeaways at the end were 33 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 8: crucial late in the fourth quarter, and it was a 34 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 8: great performance by the Cowboys offense, particularly the passing game 35 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 8: in the first half. But you know, four hours before 36 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 8: kickoff you find out that mathematically you've been eliminated, and 37 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 8: yet that was not reflected in what we saw on 38 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 8: the field. They acted like they were playing, you know, 39 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 8: for seeding, and that's what was impressive. And also, you know, 40 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 8: we had more injury situations, but as we've seen throughout 41 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 8: the year, it wasn't just some of the young guys 42 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 8: that had an opportunity to step up, like the Marris 43 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 8: Leaphus of the world, but veterans as well, like Nick 44 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 8: Vigil filling in for Eric Kendricks. And so that's one 45 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 8: of the things that I've liked about this team all 46 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 8: year is you have that balance of the young guys 47 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 8: and the you know, veterans coming in and mentoring and 48 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 8: helping each other. And that was reflected in the linebacker 49 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 8: corps last night, decimated by injuries, and so it just 50 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 8: makes it a much merrier Christmas to come away with 51 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 8: that win and show the resilience that they showed. 52 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,559 Speaker 9: I anticipated we'd see a lot of great from the Cowboys, 53 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 9: just the way they've been talking the past few weeks. 54 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 9: There was so much emphasis on professional integrity, playing the 55 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 9: right way, having pride in themselves. I anticipated that they 56 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 9: would come out and play hard. Now we didn't know 57 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 9: that that would look like. And last week we talked 58 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 9: a lot about some of the things that we were 59 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 9: a little bit concerned about. So I was actually really 60 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 9: excited to see how people stepped up, not only in 61 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 9: attitude but in ability. 62 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 6: I think two things. 63 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 9: That we discussed when we're talking about Cooper Rush last 64 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 9: week was one, at. 65 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 6: Least I said it. 66 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,239 Speaker 9: I said I didn't want him to wait until the 67 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 9: second half to get going, and he didn't. And we 68 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 9: talked about the need for him to be confident, and 69 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 9: that that touchdown to Jalen Tolbert when when the Cowboys 70 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 9: went up tend nothing like Vidavea was in his face 71 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 9: and he was like, I don't care, I'm getting this 72 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 9: ball up, you know. And so seeing seeing something like 73 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 9: that from Cooper Rush was really good to see, seeing 74 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 9: the way the secondary stepped up. Something else that we 75 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 9: that we also talked about that would be important against 76 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 9: the Bucks and just watching them not just play harder faster, 77 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 9: but just the way that they were hitting and literally 78 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 9: just going after the ball like, no, we are going 79 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 9: to get this ball. So I think it's one thing 80 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 9: to show up and still play hard and still you know, 81 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 9: try to win in the ways that people expect you to, 82 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 9: but you will actually do things that cause people to 83 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 9: actually look at you a little bit differently. Because there 84 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 9: are people this morning who are looking at Cooper Rush different, 85 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 9: who are looking at Marsluafile different, and that to me 86 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 9: is really special. 87 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 6: Yeah. 88 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 10: I agree that there's something to be said about going 89 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 10: up against the number four offense in NFL and really 90 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 10: giving them trouble. I mean when you look at them statistically. 91 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 10: Even so, the whole bucket ever into sixty eight yards 92 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 10: on sixteen carries impressive. You know, he had a few 93 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 10: breakout runs. Evans had a few breakout runs, but I 94 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 10: thought the Cowboys defense contained well until y'all's point. 95 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 5: I ain't even gonn hold you. I ain't gonna lie. 96 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 5: Y'all know I heard you. 97 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 3: I said it. 98 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 5: I was like, I don't know about them winning this game. 99 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 10: I was worried about the Cowboys' ability to score points, 100 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 10: especially with I knew that Tampa was good. 101 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 5: At stopping the run. 102 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 10: It was going to force Cooper Rush to have to 103 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 10: pass the ball at a high clip. 104 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 5: You talk about, you know, the way that this offense moved. 105 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 10: I thought Cooper Rush delivered the ball better than I 106 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 10: maybe have ever seen him deliver the ball. And we've 107 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 10: talked about, you know, guys getting comfort in this system 108 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 10: and stuff like that. I think that Cooper Rush having 109 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 10: real playing time, having this because when he filled in 110 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 10: for Dak a few years ago, it was cool, but 111 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 10: he I don't remember him having this much freedom. And 112 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 10: when you watch him throw the ball, he's thrown with 113 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 10: the anticipation. He's his balls aren't as high as they were. 114 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 3: He just seemed. 115 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 10: Confident, as you said, Jazz, And so to your point, 116 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 10: I think that this Cowboys offense, it sounds like Mike 117 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 10: McCarthy opted changed his opinion to take the ball to start. 118 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 10: That's the energy were talking about that like their first 119 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 10: and you could tell that they practiced well this week 120 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 10: because the script was good. They looked on time, they 121 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 10: looked like they were confident, and they really like we 122 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 10: were going to talk about the defense. 123 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 5: The defense did their thing, they did, but the offense. 124 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 10: Really put the defense in position to be able to 125 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 10: do that by coming out early, being aggressive, and I 126 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 10: think they kind of hit Tampa Bay in the teeth. 127 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 10: I don't think Tampa Bay expected for the Cowboys to 128 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 10: take it to him, take it to the take it 129 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,119 Speaker 10: to them from a passing aspect. But like I said, 130 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 10: this is a just a defense that likes to blit. 131 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 10: So Cooper Rush made them pay well. 132 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 2: They also scored on five of their six possess whether 133 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 2: it was field goals, whether it. 134 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 3: Was offensive touchdowns. 135 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 2: But I think it says a lot about Cooper Rush. 136 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 2: I mean, going back to all of you Olls's point, 137 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 2: you're seeing the confidence there a little bit. You're seeing 138 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 2: the trust between him and CD and him and Jalen 139 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 2: Tolbert and. 140 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 3: All those guys. Hell, even Ryan Flinoy even got a little. 141 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 2: Action in there, but it was good to see him 142 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 2: even scrambling a little bit out the pocket. 143 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 7: That's what that's like. 144 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 5: That's what I've noticed about him. 145 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 10: And I think, again, that's that comfort because I've never 146 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 10: seen Cooper rush offensive line. 147 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 5: Get off of his square, move his feet. 148 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 10: He's making passes on one leg. I mean, I just 149 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 10: I'm just this is I think, this is why you 150 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 10: give guys a chance. 151 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,559 Speaker 5: She think he is. 152 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,559 Speaker 10: There was a couple of times where I was like, cool, 153 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 10: but even too when you look at his numbers, this 154 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 10: is a hell of a fishing day. If you cover 155 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 10: up his picture, don't look at the name and say 156 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 10: twenty six or thirty five, two hundred and ninety two 157 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,679 Speaker 10: yards a touchdown, no picks, say. 158 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 7: Justin Herbert stop she is but stateline. But here's the thing. 159 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 8: They started off that first series the first five completion short, short, short, short, 160 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 8: like little jabs, and then but uh, as the game, 161 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 8: as the first half progressed, we saw, oh my gosh, 162 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 8: down the field passes, including to Brandon Cook's crossers. 163 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 5: We saw crossings, Oh my gosh. 164 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 8: So so it was it was great, but you know, 165 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 8: you could you could see. I'm not saying that Cooper 166 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 8: Rush is not confident in himself, but you could see 167 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 8: the way that they started that it was just the 168 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 8: short stuff, but. 169 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 2: Then they were testing it out a little bit, trying 170 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 2: to see what they could get from this Tampa Bay 171 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 2: Buccaneers defense. But then even Cooper Rush on that first 172 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 2: drive he was six for six. 173 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 8: Yeah, and and again short short, short, short, but then 174 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 8: it opened it up to to hit him long. 175 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 9: They definitely seemed like that was by design because Rush 176 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 9: talked about making them pay. He talked about the fact 177 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 9: that they were loading the box and so he was like, 178 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 9: all right, we wanted to attack them in the passing 179 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 9: game to to make them pay for that. You could 180 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 9: even see to your point about the scripting the way, 181 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 9: you know, Cavante Turpin had that good run that got 182 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 9: them the first down, and that's actually what led to 183 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 9: Brandon Cook's being available for that longer pass after that 184 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 9: with the play action. So like the scripting was on point. 185 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 9: And I know you said that you don't think Cooper 186 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 9: Rush isn't confident, but I do think he wasn't as 187 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 9: in the past, he hasn't been as confident as he 188 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 9: was last night, And I think that's just facts and 189 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 9: you've heard Schottenheimer kind of reference it, You've heard Mike 190 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 9: McCarthy kind of referenced it, just like, oh, he needs 191 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 9: to be more comfortable. They've talked about issues with protection, 192 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 9: They've talked about his chemistry with certain players. Schottenheimer's talked 193 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 9: about how conversations with his receivers have improved that. 194 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 6: So, yeah, I don't think it. 195 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 9: Would be out of line to say, like, Okay, he 196 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 9: did need his confidence to improve, not that he had 197 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 9: like low self esteem or anything. But last night was 198 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 9: the first time we saw him play the way he played, 199 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 9: And I think it's also the first time I saw 200 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 9: him at the podium really breaking down what the offense 201 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 9: was doing the way he did, and so it seemed 202 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 9: like a whole different rush to me. 203 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, you mentioned protection, I mean, yeah, to talk about it. 204 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 10: Yes, this this Tampa Bay defensive line again, they have 205 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 10: they have multiple guys that can get after the quarterback 206 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,959 Speaker 10: and just to give up one sack with a back. 207 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 5: With a you're rotating your left tackle. 208 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 10: You you have a backup right guarden, and you don't 209 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 10: give up on one sack. I mean you that was 210 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 10: half of the reason you mentioned the protection. That was 211 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,199 Speaker 10: a lot of the reason, Like this, Couyboy's offensive line 212 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 10: from the beginning of the year has struggled with stunts. 213 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 10: They struggled with blitzing. You got some young guys across 214 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 10: the line, the communication. We were talking about it earlier 215 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 10: this week, the declaration. Obviously Todd Bowles. 216 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 5: Is gonna blitz his a word off, and. 217 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 7: They didn't care. 218 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 10: They stood in there, ric o'daddo hunter Lifkey, they passed 219 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 10: protected furiously. I mean you just the effort that you 220 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 10: saw from them was just impressive. Like Christy said, given 221 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 10: that they really don't have nothing to play for, but 222 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 10: to me, they seemed like they had a lot to 223 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 10: play for. 224 00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 5: And I think it had a lot. 225 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 10: To do with the dignity the pride, and they know 226 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 10: that people watching, and they're probably tired of being told 227 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 10: that they're not good. 228 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 9: Like sure, yeah, not only were they not only were 229 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 9: they not scared, they actually made adjustments, like they didn't 230 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 9: go completely away from the run. Like I thought, it 231 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 9: was really interesting that Rico Dawdle started, you know, going 232 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 9: towards the edges, and I made a post about it 233 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 9: and I was like, oh, I see, he's not going 234 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 9: up the middle as much. And I wasn't trying to 235 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 9: say it is criticism or anything, but people were in 236 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 9: my comments like well, yeah, because of Vida Van and 237 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 9: I'm like, well how about. 238 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 6: Yah Ya though, who was also a problem. 239 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 9: But even with both of them going at Dowdell in 240 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 9: various ways, they still stay committed to the run. You 241 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 9: saw the offensive line kind of tried different things over 242 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 9: a couple of things where I know, I don't know 243 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 9: the word, but it's like they were like, all right, 244 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 9: we're just gonna take everybody and push them to the right. 245 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 6: A couple of us are gonna go to the left. 246 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 9: And it worked though, but it was so good to 247 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 9: see them be like, Okay, we know this is an issue. 248 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 9: We're not not only are we not going to let 249 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 9: them bully us, but we're actually going to adjust to 250 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 9: actually maintain our position in this game. 251 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 6: That was really dope. 252 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 2: At what point did y'all know that the Cowboys had 253 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 2: this game won in the first thing? 254 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 3: You very much so may have not had a point, 255 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:09,959 Speaker 3: but I just want to know. 256 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 9: The first half was really significant to me because it 257 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 9: was I remember thinking to myself, this is special because 258 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 9: it's not just the offense taking advantage of the defense 259 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 9: doing cool things. Like there have been games in the 260 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 9: past few weeks where it's like how the defense, Yeah, 261 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 9: where the Cowboys defense was getting takeaways and forcing turnovers 262 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 9: and getting sacks and doing these really spectacular things, and 263 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 9: the offense just needed to go out there and take 264 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 9: advantage just enough to get the lead and not mess 265 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 9: it up. But this was a game where the defense 266 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 9: they were keeping the Bucks from scoring, but it wasn't 267 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 9: anything like out of the ordinary, you know. And so 268 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,839 Speaker 9: to see that the offense actually go out there and 269 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 9: earn that first half lead to me, that was what 270 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 9: said like, Okay, unless they do something terrible, unless they 271 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 9: mess up royally, they're actually they're actually gonna win this. 272 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 9: I would say probably halfway through the second quarter, I 273 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 9: was like, oh, the Cowboys aren't see gonna gonna come 274 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 9: out here. 275 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 6: Yeah. 276 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 8: Similar timing when CD caught it down the right sideline 277 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 8: and set up the and then it looks like he 278 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 8: had scored on the eleven yard catch and it was 279 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 8: reviewed and put down at the one yard line and 280 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 8: then Zeke boy, good day for Zeke only one carry 281 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 8: and yet goes in for a one yard score. So 282 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 8: where Rico's getting his head pounded and probably sitting in 283 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 8: the cold tub now. 284 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 7: But yeah, I feel good. 285 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 8: Although I will admit that in the fourth quarter after 286 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 8: when the because the let's. 287 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 7: Let's say the offense did struggle in. 288 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 8: The second half did and when they and when Anger 289 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 8: Anger punted for the fifth time. 290 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 7: I was like, oh, man, here we go. 291 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:45,079 Speaker 8: And uh, I will admit that I was nervous at 292 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 8: that point, but to come with a second huge takeaway 293 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 8: late in the game, I mean that that interception by 294 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 8: Jordan Lewis was absolutely incredible and then uh, you get 295 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 8: it back for your offense, they can't manage to first down, 296 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,559 Speaker 8: you have to punt it again. It's like, oh man, 297 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 8: you've only got a two point lead, and Baker's going 298 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 8: to be Baker. 299 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 7: And then for Deron Bland on the very. 300 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:12,119 Speaker 8: First play with that, yeah, that was. That was absolutely incredible. 301 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,479 Speaker 8: And the thing it was just so joyous on the sideline, 302 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 8: you know, and you don't get that many times in 303 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 8: the season where you have that catalytic play like that 304 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 8: working in your favor, at least this season, but man, 305 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 8: that was that was very nice celebration. 306 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 5: I think for me, it was the fourth and three 307 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 5: Bucks went for early. 308 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 10: You could tell like they felt some pressure, they felt 309 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 10: some aggressiveness. Dallas came out and hit him in the teeth, 310 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 10: you know, at first drive, and they was like, oh, 311 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:40,839 Speaker 10: we're going for it on fourth and three. 312 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 5: Three, and Dallas wasn't. 313 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 10: After that, I was like, oh, okay, because that was 314 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 10: more so what I was more worried about was how 315 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 10: this offensive line was going to deal with and defensive 316 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 10: line was going to deal with, how they moved their front, 317 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 10: how they do shifts and things like that. And so 318 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 10: after that fourth and three I was like, Okay, the 319 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 10: defense is here to play. 320 00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 5: I can't remember who was I think it was jay 321 00:13:59,320 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 5: Ron Curse. 322 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 10: He said, uh, their will was stronger than ours, was 323 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 10: greater than ours. Cowboys will was greater than theirs, and 324 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 10: it was you could tell from like the physical aspect 325 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 10: of it. 326 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 5: First snap, they were hidden out there. 327 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 10: The defense definitely was trying to make a statement and 328 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,319 Speaker 10: they were not. They refused to give up anything deep. 329 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 10: They were playing underneath and they were just coming downhill, uh, 330 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 10: taking good angles. 331 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 5: So for me, that's when it That's when. 332 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 10: I thought like, Okay, they they obviously have they're trying 333 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 10: to make a point. 334 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 5: You can tell what somebody trying to make a point, absolutely, 335 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 5: and that was that.

So Saturday night was the final one, 392 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 8: and so I'd gone to the first one back in 393 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 8: November and went again on Saturday night and ran into 394 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 8: mars lea foul and Marist we knew he was going 395 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 8: to have a great opportunity again this week starting it 396 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 8: stepped in as the starter after Jamarvon over Shown suffered 397 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 8: the knee injury. 398 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 7: But I think most Cowboy. 399 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 8: Fans know that he played at Notre Dame, but he's 400 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 8: actually originally from Honolulu, Hawaii and great kid. And ran 401 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 8: into him and he said that seventeen of his family 402 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 8: members had flown in from Honolulu for this game, playing 403 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 8: to be here for the holidays. 404 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 7: And then I saw him again just before the game. 405 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 8: I said, did all seventeen survive the show last night 406 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 8: make it here today? He says, yes, Plus I got 407 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 8: two more family members from Oregon and my girlfriend is 408 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 8: also here, so he had twenty people last night at 409 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 8: the game. And it reminded me that back in Cleveland 410 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 8: for the regular season opener back in September, so it 411 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 8: would have been Maris's first regular season NFL game. And 412 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 8: they didn't tell Marist, but his parents had secretly flown 413 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 8: in from Honolulu to Cleveland. And when we arrived on 414 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 8: the team bus Saturday night, when we arrived at the 415 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 8: team hotel for that weekend's game, they surprised him. 416 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 7: He walked in the hotel and there were his mom 417 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 7: and dad. 418 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,199 Speaker 8: So, yeah, I had a feeling that Marris was going 419 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 8: to have a good game. You know, just did all 420 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 8: the prep and stuff and the way he practiced last week. 421 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 8: But when he told me Saturday night about all his 422 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,919 Speaker 8: family being here, it's like, well, if anybody makes a 423 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 8: good play on Sunday, please let it be Marist. And 424 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 8: so he put on a show for his twenty friend 425 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 8: members of friends and family that were there. 426 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 2: Absolutely, we were just talking about how they was playing 427 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 2: physical out there. 428 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 3: He was laying, oh my gosh. 429 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 2: Out Mary's leufile with seven tackles a past offended force fumble. 430 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 3: He's actually pretty much really grown. 431 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 2: Into his own I'd say, in such a short amount 432 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 2: of time. 433 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 3: Not really. 434 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 2: It's week sixteen, so technically it's been a long time. 435 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 2: But this defense though one of course slowing down the 436 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 2: run game and two Headed Monster and Bucky Irving Rashad 437 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 2: Why doing a really good job there for the most part, 438 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 2: and Mike Zimmers defense seems to have just come along 439 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,479 Speaker 2: very well the last couple of weeks. Do you feel 440 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 2: like this was the best that this defense has played 441 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 2: all year? 442 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 8: Well, the fact that they were able to do what 443 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 8: they did without their leading tackler. So Eric Kendricks, the 444 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 8: starting medal linebacker who's played eighty eight percent of the 445 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 8: defensive snaps this year. He truly was a game day 446 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 8: decision regarding that calf injury. He had missed two days 447 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,919 Speaker 8: to practice last week, was limited on Friday, and it 448 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 8: wasn't until two hours before the game as to whether 449 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 8: or not they new they had him playing, And unfortunately 450 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 8: for Eric, he was unable to go, and so Nick 451 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 8: Vigil stepped in to take his place at linebacker. But 452 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 8: the Cowboys coaching staff had the option for the green 453 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 8: dot that's the radio helmet, the one who's relaying the 454 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 8: calls from the defensive coordinator to teammates in the huddle. 455 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 8: Would they go with Vigil or would they go with 456 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 8: marys lea foul and Vigil is a nine year veteran 457 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 8: who's played in this defensive scheme previously Soda for Zemmer, 458 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 8: previously in Cincinnati for Paul Gunther. So he had the 459 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 8: experience and the know how. But the coaching staff trusted 460 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 8: Leafel to have the responsibilities for the green dot last 461 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 8: night and was it perfect? 462 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 3: Probably not there. 463 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 8: I know there was one time where they took a 464 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 8: time out for the for the defense, but to show 465 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 8: that faith in him and for the communication go as 466 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 8: well as it did, I think that speaks a lot 467 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 8: for marist. 468 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 9: I think when Jay Lou commented on that, he he 469 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 9: did admit that it wasn't a perfect situation, but that 470 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 9: he felt like Maris did a good job. And for 471 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 9: anyone taking on a role that's a game day decision 472 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 9: and you find out that day like, oh, I'm going 473 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 9: to have to do this really important thing for the team, 474 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 9: I would say that that's a good feedback to get 475 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 9: from someone as respected as jaylu And Maris has had 476 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 9: the green dot before, so it's something that I think 477 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,679 Speaker 9: when he got it before, he didn't know that it 478 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 9: was going back. 479 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, he was kind of surprised. 480 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 7: Yeah, he didn't He didn't have to use it in 481 00:21:59,000 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 7: the in the game. 482 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 8: So you know, like you you designate three players and 483 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,959 Speaker 8: only one of them can be on the field at 484 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 8: a time. So yesterday the three designees were Marist and 485 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 8: he's been designated before, but he hasn't had to wear 486 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 8: that helmet. If you're a green Dot designee, and it's 487 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 8: usually a linebacker, you have your regular helmet and then 488 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 8: you have a green dot helmet which has the radio 489 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 8: receiver in it. So because Kendricks plays most of the 490 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 8: snaps and is the green dot when Marist is out, there, 491 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 8: he's in his normal helmet, the one that doesn't have 492 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 8: the green dot. DeMont Clark was the third designee for 493 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,679 Speaker 8: green dot yesterday, but Vigil was the second one. So 494 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 8: I really thought that Vigil would probably get the duties, 495 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 8: but again they went with the rookie, and so, yeah, 496 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 8: it is a lot of responsibility. 497 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 10: Yeah, he was drafted to be the mic talking to 498 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 10: the scouts timon when they came in during draft, even 499 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 10: hearing some of the talk about him being at the 500 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 10: Senior Bowl and some of the things he was able 501 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 10: to do there. I think it was a Senior Bowl, 502 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 10: one of those bow. Uh, he was there, and uh, 503 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 10: you know there were reports coming down just like this 504 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,479 Speaker 10: guy's like Q is crazy, the processing is crazy, and 505 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 10: so this is this is some auditioning for him as well. 506 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 10: I'm pretty sure that you know, the coaches were able 507 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 10: to get some information on because you know, obviously Kendricks 508 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 10: is on a one year. 509 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 5: Deal, no guarantees he's going to be here moving forward. 510 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 10: You're going to be looking for Mary's leafile to kind 511 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 10: of be, you know, that guy that's control of. 512 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 5: That front seven like that. 513 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 10: As far as how the Cowboys play, like how it 514 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,919 Speaker 10: felt like the defense played. I think Mike Zimmer may 515 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 10: be called this best game, and I think that he's 516 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 10: just been trending up, trending up as far as how 517 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 10: he deploys guys. The he he realized weaknesses within that 518 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 10: offensive line and he would at them. I mean we 519 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 10: saw corner blitzer, safety blitzes. There were sometimes he had 520 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 10: a free blitzer. I mean Marshawn Kneeland came free off 521 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 10: the line right now. 522 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 5: Just that's play calling. 523 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 10: That's a coach. That's a coach looking at what they're doing. 524 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 10: And because we Lee Cohen, the offensive coordinator for the 525 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 10: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, does a great job, absolutely does. 526 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 5: A great job. 527 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,439 Speaker 10: A lot of creativity and how he uses spacing to 528 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 10: get his guys. This is a Yak team, so he's 529 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 10: aware of that. He does a lot with spacing and 530 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 10: to get. 531 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 5: His guys uh free looks. 532 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 10: And when you talk about what they do with their 533 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 10: their backfield and some of the things they do, if 534 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 10: I'm not mistaken, without without Baker Mayfield's forty two yards Russian, 535 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 10: which got on my nerves. 536 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 5: Without his forty forty two yard Russian. 537 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 10: Fortywo yards Russian, the copways helped them under one hundred yards. 538 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 10: So some of those big run plays that Bucky Irving 539 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 10: it kind of did you. There were moments where he's like, dang, 540 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 10: he he's such a player, y'all. 541 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 9: The way definitely did his thing, but I think not 542 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 9: of the volume livelig he normally does. 543 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 10: Yeah, because they felt pressure to pass, yeah, like they 544 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 10: they didn't have I mean, Dallas put the pressure on 545 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 10: them early like hey man, like the Dallas's seems like 546 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 10: they're gonna go score. And then also to what was 547 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 10: really funny to me is just Tampa Bay was that 548 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 10: like Dallas is forty or something. 549 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 5: They had something go on. They had the punt cowboys. 550 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 3: Is trotting Brandon Aubrey out there. 551 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 10: And last night was one of the times that I 552 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:11,360 Speaker 10: really realized, we know, Brandon Aubrey's amazing. But the luxury 553 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 10: because even when Dallas was struggling in the second half, 554 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 10: Tampa Bay was struggling in the second half. In the 555 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 10: first half, they couldn't even get three on the board 556 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 10: because they don't have him as a weapon, and I 557 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 10: just I just want to point that out. But as 558 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 10: far as the defense goes, I thought they tackled pretty well. 559 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 10: A lot of rally to the ball, and they set 560 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 10: the tone. They let them know very early this ain't 561 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 10: about to be no cakewalk for you. We understand that 562 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 10: you go into the playoffs, you're gonna be thinking about 563 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 10: us when you get there. And I appreciate that energy 564 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 10: from the defense. 565 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 3: They maybe bucks really work for everything. I agree. 566 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,239 Speaker 2: No receivers hit over the whole receiving Coral didn't hit 567 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 2: over one hundred seventy seven yards. No receiver hit over 568 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 2: seventy yards. There we go, and you had in the 569 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 2: first quarter alone. At the end of the first quarter, 570 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 2: they held Tampa Bay to seven rushing yards, one first. 571 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 3: Down, one of three on third down. 572 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 2: I mean, they were controlling the time of possession. Bucky 573 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 2: Rvy only had one carry, Soda Rashad White. So it 574 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 2: says a lot about the emphasis that they had specifically defensively. 575 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 2: But that goes into complimentary football that we've talked about 576 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 2: so much this year, and how it feeds, how they 577 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 2: feed off of each other. 578 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 3: Brandon Aubrey is gonna do butter things because he's butter. 579 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I mean, it is a luxury to 580 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 2: have a guy like Brandon Aubrey. But when you talk about, 581 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 2: let's say Chauncey Golston. 582 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 3: That's my guy four sacks now this season. 583 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 2: Before coming in to this year, he only had three 584 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 2: and a half, so he's already surpassed his career this 585 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 2: defensive line. What has or what kind of step do 586 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 2: you feel like they took from last week to this week. 587 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,880 Speaker 9: Well, one thing I was gonna say when I brought 588 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 9: up the blitzing and specifically Marsha and Niland, I know 589 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 9: we're talking about Chouncee and we'll get that, but I 590 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 9: really liked seeing the different things that Zimmer. 591 00:26:59,320 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 6: Through with them. 592 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,919 Speaker 9: And it was because and I know some people might 593 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 9: be actually critical of the of the tackling, because I mean, Becky, 594 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 9: everyone's doing what he does. 595 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,199 Speaker 6: He's slippery, and. 596 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 9: And I would I would challenge people to just kind 597 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 9: of we're. 598 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:22,400 Speaker 10: Traumatized, like what we went through something. 599 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 9: I was just kind of, you're not wrong at all, 600 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 9: because like there were definitely people on social media who 601 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 9: were like, if only we had a fourth round draft 602 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 9: pick so we could have maybe maybe impact ended up 603 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 9: going different conversation though, but I'm like, I would challenge 604 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 9: people to kind of just put that whole situation out 605 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 9: of their mind and look at everything else. Because just 606 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 9: even when in the beginning, when they were having trouble 607 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 9: getting to Baker Mayfield, because that was one thing I 608 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 9: noticed in the very beginning, was at that old line, 609 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,640 Speaker 9: exactly what you said they were not going. They were 610 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 9: so good at manipulating the d line like once they 611 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 9: got hands on somebody and not just like they would 612 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 9: get hands on Mica Parsons and Ode Gizua and affect 613 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 9: where they were going and stop them from getting to Baker. 614 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,199 Speaker 9: But some of the adjustments that they made were just magnificent, 615 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 9: Like Marshawn Neeland and I was trying to find my 616 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 9: notes on it, but there was a pass where just 617 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 9: how fast he was coming off the line was impacting 618 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,399 Speaker 9: Baker Mayfield. You could see where he didn't even get 619 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 9: a good hold on the ball because he's like looking 620 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 9: to his left like he saw him coming. And that 621 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,879 Speaker 9: ended up being another incomplete pass. So even though statistically 622 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 9: in some areas it didn't look like they were necessarily 623 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 9: showing up, you could tell they were getting in the 624 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 9: bucks heads. They were getting the Baker Mayfield's heads. They 625 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 9: were causing the receivers and the running backs to kind 626 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 9: of re evaluate how they were approaching the game, and 627 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 9: even when they weren't necessarily getting the tackles on everybody, 628 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 9: they were slowing guys down. They were hitting hard, and 629 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 9: they were coming at them, and eventually in the game, 630 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 9: as we all saw, they just resorted to like, Okay, 631 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 9: I'm just going to knock you down since y'all want 632 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 9: to like slip through our arms and stead, we were 633 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 9: just gonna put you on the ground, and that's going 634 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 9: to be that they punished. 635 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 10: They were punishing to them. Again, we talked about this, 636 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 10: this is a yack team. How do you how do 637 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 10: you slow down a yack team? Obviously you tackle them, 638 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 10: but I mean some of those hits were like it's 639 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 10: like because those guys were like turning to run or 640 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 10: like before they're possessing the ball, and Dallas was like 641 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 10: none of that, None of that today, And I mean, 642 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 10: I think that says something about them. I want to 643 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 10: point out Michael Parsons. I want to point him out 644 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 10: because when you go turn on the tape, he must 645 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,239 Speaker 10: have been in his study really serious this week. Not 646 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 10: saying he's not normally, but I'm just saying like he 647 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 10: was reading everything with them, and. 648 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 5: I know he was ill. 649 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 3: You could see that. 650 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 10: He was a little little hampered. Yeah, that he was 651 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,719 Speaker 10: a little slower breathing, a little heavier, and there were 652 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 10: times you was. 653 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 5: Just like a tick there. 654 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 10: But I wanted to we I know, I'm guilty of it. 655 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 10: Sometimes you just kind of take for granted how he 656 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 10: plays and what he the tension he draws and stuff 657 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 10: he does. But from watching it game last night, you 658 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 10: knew like he really and again, this offense is complex. 659 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 10: And that's something I wanted to say about the defense 660 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 10: as well, is that you can tell they were in their. 661 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 5: Study this week. 662 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 10: They read I mean even the plays from Donovan Wilson 663 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 10: coming downhill, that's him reading and knowing where that ball 664 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 10: is going, understanding how this offense is run. Jordan Lewis like, 665 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 10: I just felt like they must have really took seriously, 666 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 10: you know, preparing for this game, and it showed. 667 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 7: Yeah, it was. 668 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 8: It was a very well disciplined defense. And I don't 669 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 8: just mean discipline in terms of you know, staying in 670 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 8: your gap and things like that, not over pursuing. But yeah, 671 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 8: I love your point, Ayesha about the preparation and everything 672 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 8: the way talking about the yards after contact for Tampa. 673 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 8: One of the defensive line coaches. I was talking with 674 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 8: him two hours before kickoff. We were just talking on 675 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 8: the sideline and I asked specifically about Bucky Irving and 676 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 8: the way that he described to He said, he gets 677 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 8: sneaky yards. Sneaky in terms of that's the yard after contact, 678 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 8: that's the falling forward, that's and I said, well, that's 679 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 8: basically what Rico Doubtell has been doing the last few weeks, right, 680 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 8: get you know, get taking the three yard run and 681 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 8: turning it into this seven or eight yard run. And 682 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 8: so this coach was saying, you know, when you have 683 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 8: a player who can run with power and some niftiness, 684 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 8: and he said, Rashad White is a lot like this too. 685 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 8: They get those sneaky yards, and so it's going to 686 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 8: be all hats to the ball and to your point 687 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 8: about you know, swarming and tackling. And I thought they 688 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 8: responded beautifully and followed the coaches directive. 689 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 4: I'm not gonna lie. 690 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 2: I think Donovan Wilson deserves some flowers today because we've 691 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 2: all we've all been talking about how obviously his strength 692 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 2: is helping in the run coverage, run stop, but his 693 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 2: improvement in terms of coverage yesterday, Yes, took. 694 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 3: A huge leap. What did you like from Donnovivils? 695 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 9: Exactly what you just said, And this is going to 696 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 9: be a very general thing, so I'll leave this specific 697 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 9: see all. But just overall, I'm impressed with Dono because 698 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 9: of the fact that he did experience so much criticism 699 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 9: earlier in the year, and a lot of it had 700 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 9: to do with him having to take on a different 701 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 9: role than what he was used to than what he 702 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 9: was used to playing. Zimmer was using him in a 703 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,959 Speaker 9: different way. And I've come across athletes and competitors who 704 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 9: would let that get to them and they would kind 705 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 9: of resign to being mediocre. Oh this coach isn't going 706 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 9: to let me do me. Well, I guess this is 707 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 9: just gonna be a bad season whatever. But he's done 708 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 9: the opposite, and he's turned himself into a monster that 709 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 9: now has even more tools in his tool belt. 710 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 6: Like it's no more. Oh, you know, he's a guy. 711 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 9: Put him in the box, you know, Like now he's like, oh, 712 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 9: I can play forwards and I can play backwards. Like 713 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 9: he's he's adopted so many new skills to make himself 714 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 9: even better and stronger. With what's been asked of him, 715 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 9: and I've got to commend him for that because that's 716 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 9: just something I feel like, that's something that like, as 717 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 9: fans are looking at the scene, that's something they should. 718 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 6: Be inspired by. 719 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 9: Like, all right, you want to be disappointed about the playoffs, draft, whatever, 720 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 9: but like, there are so many stories that should be 721 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 9: inspiring fans who are actually watching these players, and what 722 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,959 Speaker 9: Donovan Wilson did this year is one of those stories. 723 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 5: I agree. 724 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,719 Speaker 10: That's where this that's where your empathy comes in, your 725 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,480 Speaker 10: understanding comes in. I know a lot of people are 726 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 10: fixated on draft capital and do all these things, but man, 727 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 10: these are people. 728 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 5: They have plenty to play for. 729 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 10: And to your point, I didn't at the beginning of 730 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 10: the season, I had a lot of questions about where 731 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 10: Donovan Wilson fit in this Zimmer system. Zimmer really values 732 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 10: the rangy free safety type guy. Does he want his 733 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 10: guys to come down in the box? Sometimes? 734 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 5: Absolutely, but that is not what he asked. 735 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 10: What he specifically asked his safeties and defensive tackles to 736 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 10: do is different than what dan. 737 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 5: Quyn asked them to do. And this was a big 738 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 5: change for them. 739 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 10: And I feel like with Donovan Wilson, I mean coming 740 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 10: in I remember watching this film from Texas, A and M. 741 00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 5: He had range. He was a guy that had that. 742 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 5: That's how he got our. 743 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 10: Attention is the interceptions in preseason and showing off some 744 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 10: of his sideline the sideline range and stuff like that. 745 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 10: But he hasn't tapped into that in a long time. 746 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 10: He hasn't had to do that. And I do agree 747 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:13,840 Speaker 10: with you. I think it did take him some time 748 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 10: to be comfortable, free and stronger some different monsters, to 749 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 10: be honest, and so. 750 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:21,319 Speaker 5: For me, I agree with you. 751 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,720 Speaker 10: I feel like he has found comfort in this system 752 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,839 Speaker 10: the past. Rush is helping these guys out a lot. 753 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 10: But also too, he got some help because Katotten didn't play. Yeah, 754 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 10: and let me tell you something, it was much simpler. 755 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 5: To not have to deal with. 756 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,479 Speaker 10: And again a lot of respect for Paye Durham watching 757 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 10: him in the draft, but Katotten and it has been a 758 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 10: serious part of what they do offensively. If they're running 759 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 10: eleven personnel, he out there. He's that important to their offense. 760 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 10: So him not being out. 761 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,760 Speaker 5: There little cushion, little cushion. 762 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 10: But I do think that Donovan Wilson has to your point, 763 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,320 Speaker 10: shown improve and him showing that versatility to me is 764 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 10: not even want to help him with you know how 765 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,279 Speaker 10: this season ends out A coach to your point, look 766 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 10: at that and say, hey, this guy isn't just a 767 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,879 Speaker 10: box guy. He's not just a guy that can help 768 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 10: them run. He's a guy that I can have faith 769 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 10: with going out there disguise and plays and coming down 770 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 10: and slashing and making tackles as well. 771 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 8: You mentioned his film from Texas A and m. The 772 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 8: one thing that I didn't like yesterday as a as 773 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 8: A Texas A and m Alumna was that Aggie on 774 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:27,399 Speaker 8: Aggie violence on Mike Evans. Holy smokes, what a That 775 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 8: was the hit of the game personal versus a. 776 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 3: Nasty but but but I. 777 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 6: Think Michael needed a second to like walk to the side. 778 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 8: Yeah, and maybe just because it was more like in 779 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:42,880 Speaker 8: the open space and right in front of me on 780 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 8: the sideline. And I love Mike Evans because you know, 781 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 8: a fellow Aggie and we're both from Galveston, and combined 782 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 8: do we have what ten consecutive thousand yard seasons so 783 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 8: much in common? 784 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 7: And combined? 785 00:35:58,360 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 3: That's vie. 786 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 7: But wow, that was that was That was. 787 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,479 Speaker 8: A great hit and and I remember, you know, early 788 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,560 Speaker 8: in the year with the podcast, I was saying that 789 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 8: I thought that Donovan would eventually thrive in this system 790 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 8: and they make the catalytic plays, and I will admit 791 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,239 Speaker 8: that it's hard being patient to see it come to that. 792 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,359 Speaker 8: So and and I think I used to make an 793 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 8: excellent point about the pass rush because because that that's 794 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 8: a key to it as well. 795 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,880 Speaker 2: And it's also probably and this is something that of 796 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 2: course I'm just assuming that it is, is the trust 797 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 2: that Zimmer has built with Donovan Wilson and the willingness 798 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 2: kind of going back to your point of Donald wanting 799 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 2: to show that he can do that because of the 800 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,960 Speaker 2: way that this Tampa Bay offense runs in the different 801 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,480 Speaker 2: ways that they attacked us the secondary. So certainly kudos 802 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 2: to Donovan Wilson. Shout out for Doran Bland as well. 803 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:51,400 Speaker 2: I'm not doing it. 804 00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,480 Speaker 3: Just just asking me to do anything but Bland, but 805 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,920 Speaker 3: I'm not doing it.

Early in the season, I said that that 886 00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,160 Speaker 9: might happen just because from watching him for so long, 887 00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:42,400 Speaker 9: you kind of get used. So when he says in 888 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,799 Speaker 9: the offseason he's gonna do something, he does it. But 889 00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 9: up to this point everything had been physical, like a skill. 890 00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,520 Speaker 9: And I feel like this year in March, when he 891 00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 9: said that he wanted to be a better leader and 892 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:53,920 Speaker 9: be more emotionally mature, a lot of people were kind 893 00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,080 Speaker 9: of like, yeah, right, well, especially after like what happened 894 00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,120 Speaker 9: on the sideline earlier this season. But I hate that 895 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,279 Speaker 9: it took an injury for people to see it. But 896 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 9: he's done it in several different ways, and I'm just 897 00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:05,840 Speaker 9: truly truly proud of him. 898 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:07,400 Speaker 3: Lout of respect we all. 899 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:10,880 Speaker 8: Jordan Lewis made me smile because that interception was just 900 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:12,680 Speaker 8: absolutely incredible. 901 00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:13,800 Speaker 7: And I wrote this. 902 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:17,080 Speaker 8: For my posting for Sports Day Dallas Morning News is. 903 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,000 Speaker 8: I know it doesn't technically count as a pick six 904 00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,279 Speaker 8: because he didn't take the interception and return it for 905 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,840 Speaker 8: a score for six points. That was a pick six 906 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 8: because that was six points for Tampa. That was a touchdown. 907 00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:32,520 Speaker 8: The guy had it in his arms and if Lewis 908 00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,720 Speaker 8: had not ripped it away from him, that's six points 909 00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:39,839 Speaker 8: for the Bucks. So really that was a six point play. 910 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:44,040 Speaker 8: Absolutely incredible, and I'm glad that it was primetime on 911 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:49,440 Speaker 8: Sunday Night Football so that NFL watchers around the country, 912 00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 8: around the world can finally realize what everyone in this 913 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 8: building knows. That Jordan Lewis is an incredible player. 914 00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,640 Speaker 10: It is baffling. He goes under the radar, and that 915 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:05,000 Speaker 10: obsessed me. It legitimately ticks me off because I sit 916 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:06,280 Speaker 10: up here every year. 917 00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:06,879 Speaker 5: Now two years. 918 00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:08,080 Speaker 10: I'm just gonna say it, this is two years and 919 00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:09,719 Speaker 10: I've just been doing draft two year. Ain't gonna get 920 00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:10,480 Speaker 10: too over zealous. 921 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:12,799 Speaker 5: Two years we go through the. 922 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:17,160 Speaker 10: Draft, all I hear about is how important nickel corner is. Like, 923 00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:20,319 Speaker 10: we look at boundary corners and I'm more proud to them. 924 00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:21,480 Speaker 5: You need boundary. 925 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,040 Speaker 10: Corners, But baby, that nickel corner is an extension of 926 00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,399 Speaker 10: your front seven. They're asked to do the dirty work, 927 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,600 Speaker 10: they're asked to tackle. He comes up and sets the 928 00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:33,080 Speaker 10: edge like this is. And the fact that he's tenured, 929 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:37,840 Speaker 10: he's a veteran, I don't understand why this, Like, I 930 00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:39,800 Speaker 10: don't know why the rest of the league or whatever 931 00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,239 Speaker 10: the case may be, has not acknowledged that this is 932 00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,839 Speaker 10: one of the best nickel corners in this NFL right 933 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:46,840 Speaker 10: now and he hasn't gotten the recognition. 934 00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,440 Speaker 3: So to your point, I hope that somebody did. 935 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 5: Notice, But at this point, who cares? Just let him 936 00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:53,640 Speaker 5: keep playing good football. 937 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,839 Speaker 10: And I don't know that just it frustrates me because 938 00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,160 Speaker 10: nickel corner is so hard to come by. 939 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:00,560 Speaker 5: We and played how many. 940 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:01,760 Speaker 3: Games this season? Fifteen? 941 00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,400 Speaker 10: I can make me name two good nickel corners that 942 00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,479 Speaker 10: you have played against every game. 943 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:07,239 Speaker 3: I come in here and. 944 00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,040 Speaker 10: I say, you could take advantage of this guy in 945 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:10,880 Speaker 10: the slot. You could take advantage CD. He could take 946 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,279 Speaker 10: advantage of this guyden slot. People shouldn't be saying that 947 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,719 Speaker 10: about the Cowboys because he gonna make you pay. 948 00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:17,360 Speaker 7: And I just I don't know. 949 00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:21,640 Speaker 4: It's frustrating the defense. Yeah, so what football is yeah, 950 00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:22,080 Speaker 4: and the. 951 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,280 Speaker 8: Only thing that he's better at than his on field performance. 952 00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,799 Speaker 10: Is as a This is a person, and like, I 953 00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,000 Speaker 10: don't know how he hasn't gotten elected for the Walter 954 00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:31,320 Speaker 10: Payton Man of the Year Award. 955 00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:32,440 Speaker 5: I'm not being funny. 956 00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 3: I'm serious. 957 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 10: Like when you talk about an example, this is an 958 00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:37,360 Speaker 10: example football player. 959 00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:38,600 Speaker 6: If you even just sit. 960 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,359 Speaker 10: Down and listen to him talk about his family and 961 00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,200 Speaker 10: how he is. This is a representative of the game. 962 00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,680 Speaker 10: And I just feel like it's long overdue that he 963 00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:47,360 Speaker 10: gets his respect. I would love for him to be 964 00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,839 Speaker 10: here in Dallas next year, but I hopefully somebody see, 965 00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:51,759 Speaker 10: somebody see that he's what he is. 966 00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,040 Speaker 2: I think he gets overlooked just because he's not like 967 00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:58,160 Speaker 2: that raw, raw guy. 968 00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,880 Speaker 3: He's good, married, which is good, it's very good. But 969 00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,720 Speaker 3: he talk a lot of mess, you know, he he does. 970 00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:08,319 Speaker 9: But unfortunately talking isn't as marketable as you know, just 971 00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,120 Speaker 9: being that happy, go lucky. I always say the right 972 00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,160 Speaker 9: thing in front of the cameras. I think everything that 973 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,880 Speaker 9: you're saying is true. But like that, first of all, 974 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,600 Speaker 9: let's be real.
