How does it look outside? 0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:42.560 Suns came up, the sun came up, and the sun 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:45.960 came up, the sun came It was done yesterday and 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:49.360 I never see it again. And it's a beautiful day 0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:52.280 here at the Star in Frisco, right making, Except we're 0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:58.720 not playing the Cowboys stamped Nope, that would We played 0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:01.280 it Fridays. We played it right to get this team 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:06.080 fired up. No, no, did not pay attention. You know 0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:07.840 what we need to do. We need to play the 0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:13.080 Cowboys Stampede on Sunday morning as they wasn't too early 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:17.000 as they come out onto the field. Wow, that would 0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:20.920 be cool. Uh huh, dwell back, everybody else is come 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:23.520 on try Yeah, you don't forget your roots, dude, that's right. 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:26.360 So how did our picks in our picks to click, 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:30.199 Hey pick to click my pick to click work great 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:37.759 Tony poll on the opening kickoff. From there, the opening kickoff, 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:44.240 I said, I'm gonna willing go to the game ended. 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:47.160 If the game ended after the opening kickoff, I win 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:49.880 the pick to click Tony Pollard. So he didn't think 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:54.800 much of his four carries for eleven yards, no or 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:57.880 one one catch? Wait, you had one catch for thirty 0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:01.280 two yards. There you go. I don't even remember it 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:05.080 was that at the end. Yeah, it was. I do recall, 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:08.800 and it was a drop pass right off the bat. 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:14.239 I do remember that. I remember, I do recall everything 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:17.920 that we said, if it's gonna go wrong, this is 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:22.160 how it's going to happen. Then Denver was listening because 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:25.400 it happened. You know, like I said, quarterback, solid quarterback. 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:28.720 What was the key to Denver's victory? The old line, 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:33.200 the trenches, and they were playing with basically the most 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:36.400 of the entire game with three backup offensive linemen. Well, 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:39.000 their backup offensive lineman did a better job than the 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:44.239 Cowboys and their defensive linemen. Man, I don't know these guys. 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:50.560 I waited. At one point during the game, Tyron Smith 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:53.519 is a pretty good player. Ye there you go, And 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:56.880 Terrence Steele's probably not ready for the Ring of Honor. 0:02:57.000 --> 0:03:00.840 Just just and see. That's why I asked the question 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.000 last week. Are we going to give him the same 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:06.840 help like we've been covering for him? Didn't give him enough? Well, 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:09.960 now the help wasn't good. I don't even know what 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:12.360 to tell you. I don't Well, you can pick this 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:16.400 whole thing apart, but let me tell you this little 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:20.040 story before the game. I use it for my lead 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:23.080 to my column for today. I'm in the press box 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:27.959 about hour before the kickoff and Babe Laufenberg comes walking 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:29.760 by and he looks at me and he goes, tell 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:33.919 me this. He goes, why am I nervous about this game? 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:39.120 That I wasn't nervous all week? Like you know, I 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:42.320 wasn't nervous about this game. Now suddenly I am. And 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:44.920 I said, I'll tell you why. I got tell you 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:49.200 my my little NFL theory. The more you win, the 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:52.320 closer are losing. Right, And he looked at me and 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:56.440 he goes, I like that. I like that the percentages 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:58.920 At some point you as you got a field goal 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:01.200 thing that you on the scene. Yeah, and the more 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.800 you kicked closer yard to lose. So basically you're like 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:07.200 a gloom and doom doo. No, I'm very real thing, 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:11.240 and I don't need analytics to have a number for this. 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:14.320 I just you can just sense it that if you 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:17.360 won sixth straight, at some point you're gonna lose one. 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:18.920 You know what I have I you in one note, 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:25.680 number two defense in scoring remember that. Yeah, yeah, we 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:28.920 talked about that last way. That's crazy. Number two scoring 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:32.159 defense in the league. Vic Fangio's unit at Denver, and 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:35.760 he was pretty fired up. He was especially Okay, well, 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:39.960 just you've mentioned or Everson did about the kicking field goals, 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:44.400 So just go right to the second possession for the Cowboys, 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:46.320 fourth and two at the twenty yard line. What do 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:49.120 you do, Mickey? That was the That was the play 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:52.080 where Fangio was so fired up after the incompletion, and 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:53.920 I got some things I want to read to you 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:58.760 about all that. Um I I was, I was good 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:02.000 going for it. I know you probably should take the 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:05.039 field goal there, but you got the number one offense 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:08.400 in the National Football League, the number two rushing offense, 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:14.000 and the number three passing offense. And I'm I'm not 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:17.400 kicking a field goal that close. I gotta go. And 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:21.640 even after even after the other one and the first one, okay, 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:23.760 take back to the first one. I had no problem 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:26.000 at all going forward fourth and one after that one 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:30.200 because and even from a strategic standpoint, okay, it was 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:33.640 like Pollard's kick return was your punt. If you didn't 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:37.560 make it, you know, you took over the position. Yeah, yeah, 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:39.360 now you can make the case where you can punt 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:42.560 them down or whatever. But I had no problem at 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:46.160 all on that one the second one. So here's what 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.960 kind of got in my mind. After they missed the 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:55.400 second one. I started thinking, Oh, guess what Denver's thinking. 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:58.800 They disrespected us. They thought they were just going to 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.839 come in here and everything's gonna wear us, right everything, 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:05.680 We're not good enough. So I didn't see this until 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:09.280 this morning. So let me read you a couple of 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:13.280 these things. Tim Patrick. I had no idea who Tim 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:17.240 Patrick was until he catches a forty four yard touchdown 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:23.160 pass digs L Defensive Player of the Year the year. 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:27.120 So here's what he said about when he was asked, 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:36.880 Yeah right, still anyway, here's what he said about the 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:42.080 fact that they actually went for the fourth downs disrespectful. 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:47.760 That as disrespectful. They're trying us, and that's what happens 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:52.120 when you try us. Teddy Bridgewater, you take the field 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:55.240 with a little anger, honestly said of the team going 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.400 for it on the fourth down, it's like, hey man, 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:00.640 they're going for it because they're saying our offense is 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.200 not going to score or something. We talked about it 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:06.159 in the huddle. We use that as motivation. It was 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:09.160 one of those deals where you take the field and okay, 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.720 you have a little added motivation to it. You can 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:16.680 see that today. And then Fangio says, everybody wants to 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:19.680 go for it on fourth down, right, fourth and one, 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:22.720 fourth and two. They cite all the numbers, so on 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:26.400 and so forth. But when you don't get them, it hurts. 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:30.400 And we were the beneficiary of the hurt. And he 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:33.000 took advantage of that after they and that's why he 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.200 was so fired up after they stopped him on the 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:39.000 fourth and the second, fourth and two, and so they 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:41.679 played and smart coaching, I mean smart for the team 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:44.560 to and you know part of that too. Even coming 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.720 into the game. You know what they were hearing in Denver. 0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:52.160 They just traded away the face of the franchise, and 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:56.160 and those players, they're not waving a white flag. And 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:58.360 they can't beat a team with at least a five 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:03.320 hundred record. They excuse me. They lose to all the 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:05.600 teams that are five hundred or better, and they beat 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:08.760 all the teams with losing records. And I'm sure they 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.600 heard all of it. And when that those those fourth 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:14.520 down plays and then they stopped him on third and 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:18.880 one also forced the punt that time, I'm sure that 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:23.280 they were fired up, and it added motivation. I gotta say, man, 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:27.080 you know as a form of player that that kind 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:29.720 of kills me, It really does. I just got a 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:34.439 problem with this, uh selected motivation. Yeah, well I understand, 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:39.480 but losses me. Come on, but but but in the game, yeah, 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:42.680 the game four, I don't I don't go for you 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:45.320 get telling, those are the four games that you lost. 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:49.400 You weren't motiva. You weren't motiva. We're just gonna it's 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:52.160 like the uh what they called the frog in the 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:54.040 the crab in the in the water. Yea, you just 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:58.000 heat up slowly, Okay, we just he we disrespect you slowly. 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:00.760 So then you're just gonna lay down. Let's kick your butt. 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:02.840 But we turned up to fire a little bit and 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.559 disrespect you out rightly. Then all of a sudden, you're 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:07.960 fired up. So we'll okay to lose as long as 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:11.360 you don't disrespect us. So we're okay with Lucy the 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:15.920 the But those things that got that team excited. Not 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:21.199 only that, but half the crowd was Bronco fans, Cowboy 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:25.040 fans sold out. There was more orange than that. I 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:27.400 thought it was Halloween all over again. They looked like 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:30.079 a bunch of that's the first time that happens. I mean, 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:33.400 Jerry's world is a vacation. No, it's a it's it's 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:36.800 the cowboy fans selling out to make money on a 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:39.560 game they weren't interested in. Yeah, I was there, and 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:45.560 I was interested until I wasn't. You know, it's bad 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:47.960 when they kick a field goal and you can't tell 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:50.840 if it was good or not by the crowd reaction 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:54.720 because both sides were cheering one way or the other. 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:59.800 And that was that was a that was shameful. Okay, Okay. 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:03.079 After the fourth and two, what at Denver do they 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:07.280 drove eighty yards for a touchdown? Eighty yards and eleven plays, 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:12.160 and eight of those plays were running plays. Yep. That 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:15.360 was the key to this victory is Denver's ability to 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:18.240 run the foot. They ran for one hundred ninety two yards. 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:22.600 That's right. I have here in my notes Melvin Flash, 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:25.160 Gordon and I didn't say this. I'm listening to what 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:28.480 you guys said last week. Melvin Flash over one hundred 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:30.439 I think a four hundred yards on the season. He's 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:35.920 right right under Williams four hundred yards. He has over 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:39.120 four hundred, just a little under Gordon. But it was 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:41.920 both about both of them. We talked about. These are 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:45.800 the notes I took coming from you guys Mouth, Jeffonte, 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:51.120 Matt Truck, Williams, Man and Man. I remember leading up 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:53.400 to the draft. Leading up to the draft, I was 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:55.720 looking at his North Carolina tape. I was going, Wow, 0:10:56.120 --> 0:11:00.120 this guy is and then Will McClay showed me on 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:03.120 the tellustrator three plays if you watch the Mike McCarthy Show, 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:06.439 and is available on Dallas Cowboys dot Com the Athleticism 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:11.000 and he was on display on Sunday afternoon at at 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:14.640 and T Stadium too. So they paid the players on 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:19.720 the other team, Well, yeah, absolutely. Stephen Steven pointed that 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:25.719 out this morning too. By the way. But again they 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:31.680 took advantage of what would be our normal worries. Right. 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:37.240 They took advantage of Terrence Steele at left tackle. We 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:41.560 saw Lell Collins okay, and then as the game wore on, 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:45.280 he looked like he wore down too, and everybody wanted 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:48.080 to know, well, I didn't he play last week? Right? Well, 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:51.000 you got your answer, right. And then the other thing 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:55.480 we've been worried about was the and we thought they 0:11:55.600 --> 0:12:01.200 solved it in Minnesota the way they played defensively, right, Well, 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.080 all of a sudden, as I said, just when you 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.920 thought it was safe to come out in the dark, 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:10.080 the Boogeyman got you right. They couldn't stop the run 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:13.800 on the edges. The defensive ends got taken advantage of. 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:18.640 You know, they sort of stayed away from Randy Gregory's side, 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:22.320 but boy, they attacked whoever was playing defensive end on 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:27.280 the other side. We thought, you know, Goldston was coming along, Armstrong, 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:32.520 all oxnar right, bash them. Those guys couldn't. They couldn't 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:35.720 hold the edge against the run. And they were making 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:40.480 a concerted effort to go right there. So and you 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:44.520 had your linebackers working there, yes, and they were on 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:47.680 their own because the offensive line was getting to them right. 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:50.560 And then the other thing that I'd been harping on 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:54.599 all year last week it disappeared, but boy did it 0:12:54.679 --> 0:13:00.240 come back, giving up chunk plays, big plays. And as 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:05.720 I counted here, they had seven plays of nineteen yards 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:12.640 or more. And let me count them for you. Teddy 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:19.240 Bridgewater forty four yard touchdown pass to Tim Patrick. Who, Yeah, 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:24.000 I'll give you another. Who Tendy Bridgewater over the middle 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:33.319 forty yards Kellen hinting, Kendall hitting, See sorry, Kendall, thank 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:42.120 you for Javonte Williams thirty yard run. Jerry Yeah, that 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:47.280 was where he dragged he like Jim Brown, I just 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:50.120 hate that thing. Okay, by talking about the peanut tilman 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:52.920 punch or whatever. You gotta have the guy on the 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:56.439 control before you start trying and they're grab you. Gotta 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:59.199 get you, you take you, get him under control, I 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:02.559 come and punch you. Gotta be coordinated. If we're doing 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:08.520 it that way, you're never getting a bunch yet. Javonte 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:15.040 Williams run twenty yards, pass to Jerry Judy twenty yards. Oh, 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:21.520 Tim Patrick pass nineteen yards, seventeen yards, seventeen yards, sixteen 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:25.960 yards That's what I had worried about up until Minnesota 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:28.840 because they lived in them to three plays of twenty 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:32.760 yards or more. And in this game, it they didn't 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:38.280 get any takeaways right, and the defense just couldn't hold up. 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:42.080 But if Bill has a chance, go back to the 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:46.720 eighty one season, we were going well, so so well, 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:49.880 you know, we lost maybe a game or so, and 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:53.240 my season was going well, you know, interceptions and all 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:56.600 of that. You know, he gets some, they get song. 0:14:56.640 --> 0:15:00.480 That's Tom Langie's quote. We went up there and to 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:04.800 Campbellstick Park nineteen eighty one mid season. Who were they 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:08.200 laid it on us so bad? That was it was 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:11.040 this game. It was like we were I think we 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:13.440 had They had thirty plus points, songs before we could blink. 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:16.680 First time we'd ever seen the West Coast offense. There 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:18.920 was week six weeks said first time we've ever seen 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:23.240 the West Coast offense, and that thank god for the 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:25.440 experience we had on the team and things of that nature. 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:28.400 But man, they ride home, that flight home, that was 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:30.880 a tough flight home, and you could we were kind 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:34.360 of jacking joking about it, but you could tell underneath 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:38.000 that it was that shook us. Final score was forty 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:41.560 five to fourteen. That shook us bad in a season 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:47.600 that they finished twelve and twelve and four. But we 0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:52.800 had experience, okay, we had a special team also, of 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:55.960 course the veterans coming along with us young guys. This 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:58.400 is this is the this is the moment where we 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:01.600 always talked about it for this game and weeks before. 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:04.359 How are you going to handle this type of situation? 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:11.440 So there's always a unique hurdle to clear. This is 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:14.200 one of those moments, and obviously the most crucial of 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:16.360 this season. Where do you go from here? You know, 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:18.400 we can say all we can forget about it, and 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:20.360 I was gonna come in joking about what game that 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:23.280 was gonna be my joke to that, because games like that, 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:26.280 you coaches don't even want to watch them anymore, So 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:28.280 how are they going to handle this from from here? 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:30.640 That's what coaching comes in on this and some leadership. 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:31.800 You don't have to see that. And you know what 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:35.040 you did the next four games after that San Francisco 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:37.560 game or what's that You're won and then you lost 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:39.440 one and then you won four more, so you won 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:41.880 eight of the next nine games, and of course made 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:45.800 it to the NFC Championship. Yeah, so there you go. 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:48.960 The more you win, you're gonna lose one at some point. Yeah, 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:51.880 she's not gonna win them all. And how do you 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:56.400 count for all the goofiness? Right, all the goofiness that 0:16:56.480 --> 0:17:00.520 took place. Um, you know, we'll get to the punt. 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:05.159 That's probably a segment on its own. Teddy Bridgewater on 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:09.240 the quarterback sneak for the touchdown, he's not going anywhere. 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:13.040 What happened to forward progress? Right? And then he reaches 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:16.200 up and the ball gets knocked out and you still 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:19.440 can't tell if he broke the main all of a sudden. 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:23.159 They're so good at getting it right. Yeah on the 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:27.159 gold line, how did they see even the overhead you 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:32.520 can't tell. But no, stop forward progress, just let him 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:35.840 keep going nowhere and then he leaps and the ball 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:39.600 gets knocked out. But that was typical of what was 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:42.960 going on that day. I know we got to go 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:45.480 to break, and I'll lead you to break by saying, 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:48.719 even when you block a punt, it didn't turn out well. Okay, 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:51.439 sounds like Mickey wants to talk about the block punt 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:55.520 when we come back here on Mix Shots.

You 0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:32.400 listened to Stephen Jones on that I did I did 0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:39.439 anything of note? Uh. He said that, um, there's a 0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:45.520 possibility that they can get Tyrn Smith ready to get 0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:52.840 back in the game this week. That's a priority. And 0:20:52.920 --> 0:20:58.040 he says, and you know if he improves upon um 0:20:58.080 --> 0:21:00.760 that early in the week, maybe he'd get in the practice. 0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:04.719 He also sounded like, uh, they can get Michael Gallop 0:21:04.840 --> 0:21:09.800 back this week. So he said, we missed Tyring yesterday 0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:13.280 and get Michael Gallop back this week. So and they 0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:15.159 have to make the move this week because this is 0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:17.800 his third week of practicing. And then you got to 0:21:17.840 --> 0:21:22.000 make a decide who Michael gallup because he's on Indian reserve. 0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:27.359 So you said Thanksgiving, Remember I asked you about you 0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:31.840 really want Tyron Smith to play against Atlanta. Yes, we 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:37.760 don't need to remember back to A twenty seventeen. The 0:21:37.800 --> 0:21:41.359 guy made all the money he needed to make that 0:21:42.600 --> 0:21:47.440 because he got a big five, No, five, four or five? 0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:50.520 They had seven, I think seven or eight. I think 0:21:50.720 --> 0:21:55.320 he seemed like I thought he had sixteen. I thought 0:21:55.359 --> 0:21:59.600 he had more than I thought. It was five and 0:21:59.600 --> 0:22:02.240 and and they weren't all on Chaz Green because the 0:22:02.240 --> 0:22:06.720 backup came in and yeah, he didn't do nothing. Yeah, 0:22:08.160 --> 0:22:13.159 he went backup, back up to the back. How he 0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:15.359 did look like, hey, so here's the thing before we 0:22:15.359 --> 0:22:18.560 move on into the punt. What the heck is going 0:22:18.560 --> 0:22:21.119 on with dad man? What the heck? Was not a 0:22:21.200 --> 0:22:26.240 good talk? To me? A conspiracy? I just just to 0:22:26.880 --> 0:22:30.520 uh on clay Adrian Clayborne. It was six sacks, it was. 0:22:30.680 --> 0:22:33.480 It was six sacks against the Cowboys. So well maybe 0:22:33.480 --> 0:22:35.919 it was six, but it wasn't. They weren't all against 0:22:36.000 --> 0:22:39.840 chen Yeah, I'm sure I think he was. He got 0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:42.520 four on Chaz Green, one and another guy and then 0:22:42.600 --> 0:22:47.480 one was just he looped into the middle and they 0:22:47.480 --> 0:22:50.160 didn't pick it up. So how many did they finish 0:22:50.240 --> 0:22:54.240 in the game? Then it was it eight? Yep, yep, yep. 0:22:54.320 --> 0:22:57.240 I remember that magic number. No, No, Well, I'll have 0:22:57.320 --> 0:22:59.600 to look it up. It's longer. That's okay, never mind, 0:22:59.640 --> 0:23:02.440 now go ahead. I was asked about what the heck's 0:23:02.480 --> 0:23:05.199 going on with Dak and these throws. Well, I mean, 0:23:05.359 --> 0:23:07.399 I know that there was pressure a bit, but there 0:23:07.480 --> 0:23:11.120 were times when you know, you expect so much more, right, 0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:13.919 and now of course you're gonna want deal. Okay, Well 0:23:14.280 --> 0:23:17.800 do you trow with your your calf or do you 0:23:17.359 --> 0:23:20.880 use your hips more? And well was that part of it? 0:23:21.160 --> 0:23:25.480 See he moved well enough to dispel what I was 0:23:25.560 --> 0:23:28.720 thinking early because he was high, and I'm thinking, when 0:23:28.720 --> 0:23:31.679 you throw flat footed, you're high, right because you're not 0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:36.919 pushing off your back foot. But the times he scrambled 0:23:36.960 --> 0:23:40.040 and moved around the one to ceedee lamb, I just think, 0:23:40.119 --> 0:23:43.639 let's touch down. But see, here's the deal. Some of 0:23:43.640 --> 0:23:47.520 those that other than the fourth was at the fourth 0:23:47.520 --> 0:23:50.199 and two one he missed. He came short, and he 0:23:50.320 --> 0:23:53.680 kind of explained that he changed his arm slot because 0:23:53.680 --> 0:23:57.080 he thought he was gonna hit the other guy, so 0:23:57.880 --> 0:23:59.520 it was almost like a one hop. But some of 0:23:59.520 --> 0:24:03.200 those that you thought he'd hit, like, you don't make 0:24:03.240 --> 0:24:06.879 a living on throwing the ball on the run. And 0:24:06.920 --> 0:24:09.680 the reason he's throwing the ball on the run. Was 0:24:09.720 --> 0:24:14.960 the pocket continued to break down? Yes, yes, and and 0:24:15.480 --> 0:24:18.520 so okay, yeah, he threw the ball on the run 0:24:18.600 --> 0:24:22.080 for the winning touchdown passing overtime against New England. But 0:24:22.119 --> 0:24:24.520 you're not going to make a living off of throwing 0:24:24.560 --> 0:24:27.880 those passes. And he was off, He was long so 0:24:27.920 --> 0:24:31.399 many times, and just watching him in the pocket, I 0:24:31.440 --> 0:24:34.280 don't think he ever got comfortable. There were very few 0:24:34.320 --> 0:24:37.159 times he stood in the pocket, look, look, and then 0:24:37.240 --> 0:24:40.959 stepped in and through because he didn't have time for that. Now, 0:24:41.040 --> 0:24:43.520 while he didn't get all those sacks in there, he's 0:24:43.560 --> 0:24:48.160 the number one passer with pressure well, and this pressure 0:24:48.560 --> 0:24:54.159 I know, but this pressure just seemed to and they 0:24:54.200 --> 0:24:56.399
