They'll get back to practice on Wednesday. 12 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: That's why Spags was on time. That is exactly why 13 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: there's there is no reason to be late today. Why 14 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: are they off? They should be working hard, so said 15 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 1: the old man from the fifties. Yes, is that what 16 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: your Twitter mentioned? Safe this week? Yeah? Right? Him a 17 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: day off, lock him in a room, practice work. Well, 18 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: something's got to get changed, right at six and seven 19 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: and now tied tied with the Philadelphia Eagles for after 20 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: dinner all week. That's right, No deserves nothing. That too. 21 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: Not too about the game last night. Amazing that they're 22 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: tied with that after that last night? What do you 23 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: think of the game? I knew what was going to 24 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: happen there. I didn't even get excited. I just said, 25 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: I know what's going That was a lull there. Well, 26 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: really the entire game, with the entire second half almost 27 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: but that third quarter, that low, that low. You can 28 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: tell the Giants were done. Yeah, you know, they had 29 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: nothing and Philly was still kind of forcing it, you 30 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: know what I mean. And as you looked at the game, 31 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: you had to think, you know, if the Cowboys were 32 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: going to have a resurgence, it would be I would 33 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: take that fashion. I would take it in that fashion, 34 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 1: you know, just just grind, grind, grind. You know, we've 35 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: been taking it for the last three games. We could 36 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: easily take this one and everyone would go, oh, yeah, 37 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: that's what I figured. But they hung in there. Yeah, 38 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 1: I get him a little credit. It was ugly, ugly win. 39 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: But if I'm a Cowboy team, I'll take an ugly 40 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: win like that and hopefully, you know, they'll spurred me 41 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: onto something else. They would have lost one more wide receiver, 42 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 1: Oh my god, I was. I was. I started stretching, 43 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: man start trying to find some flights. I saw it. 44 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: I saw a headline. I didn't get a chance to 45 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: read the story. But the backup quarterback mccount he was 46 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: ready to go into or maybe just a whole third 47 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 1: down full of tight ends. So you know, did you 48 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: say to yourself watching this now it's in overtime right right, 49 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: they drive down to the two yard line, they try 50 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: to run and they didn't get anywhere. And I'm sitting myself, 51 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: this pass is going to zach Ertz, right, it's going 52 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: to Arts. He's wide open. Nobody covered him. Now if 53 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: I'm sitting on my couch, knew what was coming. What 54 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: were they thinking? Hey, you could have done that the 55 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: entire drive, right, That entire drive was ers. If you 56 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: would call even on the scramble, he's wide open. You 57 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: don't drop ERTs, okay, especially when all the other receivers 58 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: are down. What number seventeen, what's his name? I'm sorry 59 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: the wide receiver Jeff Once he went down, that saw 60 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: him sitting on the cart. It's over. I'm gonna I'm 61 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: gonna triple team Oats and just damn anybody they're playing 62 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: the guys I'd never heard of or take up a 63 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: defensive end in past covers looking for fats. That's just 64 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: how And they blew the coverage because there was a 65 00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: safety there and he played zone and but he packed 66 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: them up. It was like indible, you know. And I 67 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: was thinking of you because you said when you were 68 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: talking about Beasily, you gotta have a plan, right. You 69 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: can't just say, Okay, I'm going to cover a man 70 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: to man. They didn't have a plan for anything. Crazy. 71 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: He was just freewheeling down the field. It's like, what 72 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: are you doing? And yet the Giants were up seventeen 73 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: to three at half, and I really felt like Eli 74 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: was going to get Everyone was pulling for it. Yeah, 75 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 1: I didn't think they gained a hundred yards. The second hand, 76 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: they probably did well. Well. What they wanted to do 77 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: was keep touting all the past laws of Eli Manning 78 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: so no one would change the channel. That's why they 79 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: kept bringing up all of this Eli stuff because right 80 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: now he was the only star in town. You know, 81 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: he was the only really really image on that on 82 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: that field, really on TV at that particular time, on 83 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: that on that game, and then the last two drives. 84 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: Whatever the Giants were doing putting pressure on Wentz disappeared. 85 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: It's like, where'd y'all going? They were tired, man, you 86 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 1: know I read that too. Yeah, they were tired. They 87 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: looked tired in the second half. They were they were 88 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,119 Speaker 1: doing it in the first half. In the second half, 89 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: your offense not doing anything right on the field a 90 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 1: long time, right, and then those penalties that kept prolonging it. 91 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: How many plays was that drive from Gold to Gold? 92 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: I mean it had to be. It went from like 93 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: the five right, and just the time itself that it 94 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: took because of they were just taking that time Nickel 95 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 1: and diamond third downs. Everyone went to third down extended 96 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: by penalties. It just got to be that. That was 97 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: the lull there where I said, Okay, Philly's got this 98 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: under control. That's when I knew they had taken over 99 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 1: the game. Okay, So you have two teams tied at 100 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: six and seven for first place in the NFC East 101 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: and they're not going to recede the playoffs? Is Adam 102 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,359 Speaker 1: Schefter broke on Sunday? So the winner of the division, 103 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: the revelation just because we're that bad? Is that why 104 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: they're thinking of doing this. That was a report on 105 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: Sunday just because the NFC East is that bad. Yeah, 106 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: And I think the last time a team with the 107 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: losing record got in. I think it was Seattle in 108 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: twenty ten with a seven and nine record, and they 109 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: won their home wildcard game against the Saints. They did. 110 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: Did you read my column? I didn't read through all 111 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: of it. I glanced. I did read it in nineteen 112 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: said that in nineteen ninety the Cowboys came within a 113 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 1: couple seconds of making as a wild card team at 114 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 1: seven and nine? Was that the Romo No. Nineteen ninety? Okay, oh, 115 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: this is before they got were there? Babe Laberg came 116 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: in right for Troy. So they were seven and seven 117 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: playing against the Falcon seven and seven. They had two 118 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,359 Speaker 1: games to go. If they won one and the Saints 119 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: lost one, they were going to get in. Well, the 120 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: Saints and Game fifteen beat San Francisco by I think 121 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: it was twenty seventeen. It was San Francisco's No. Thirteen ten. 122 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: It was San Francisco's second loss of the season. Wow, 123 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: what that wasn't going to happen? Right? So the Cowboys 124 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: had to win one more. Well, Troy separated his shoulder 125 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,239 Speaker 1: in Game fifteen at Philadelphia in the first quarter. Babe 126 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: Laffenburg has to come in. He didn't do so well. 127 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: I think that was nice. That was nice, very nice 128 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: way to put that. He stuck up the joint and 129 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: I love it. But gosh, and then I remember, I 130 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: remember pulling for you guys, and I'm in New York, 131 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: I'm straight. And then in the last game of the year, 132 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: they had to go to Atlanta. It's pouring down rain 133 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: and they no showed. I mean, the whole team no showed. 134 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: And Babe was even worse than he wasn't exactly got 135 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: beat twenty six to seven. I think d On had 136 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: an interception return for a touchdown or punt return for 137 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: a touchdown. So now at seven and nine, if the 138 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: Saints lose the final game of the season to the Rams, 139 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: they're gonna go to the playoff as the third wildcard 140 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: team at seven and nine, right, well, the game, the 141 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: Rams drive in the last minute or so, they tie 142 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: up the game seventeen seventeen, and the Saints drive down 143 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: it's five seconds left. They're going to kick a twenty 144 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: nine yard field goal for the win. The Rams block it, 145 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: but they're offsides. Oh god, this is the playoffs. Maybe 146 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: this playoff. Martin Anderson kicks the twenty four yard field 147 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: goal with two seconds left and the Rams win. So 148 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: it went. It was a Monday night game, so it 149 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: went to the It went to the last seconds of 150 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: the last game of the possible year to say finished 151 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: eight and Nate had the Cowboys finished eight and night 152 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 1: they were gonna win because they beat the Saints earlier 153 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: in December, right, So where are we going with this? 154 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: So seven to nine they almost made the playoffs. Rob 155 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: just woke up. He just came out of his nap okay, 156 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: So that the worst record that would have hackered. Yeah, 157 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: the worst record to win the NFC East is nine 158 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: and seven. It happened twice, and the Giants did it once, right, 159 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: and that was when they beat U New England. Yes 160 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: and stopped there. Yes, Well they were a wild card team, 161 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: aren't they? Yes? They were, Yeah, and they were horrible 162 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: during the year. I think during that year Eli had 163 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: played in Minneapolis and they I think he threw like 164 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: five interceptions in one game or some crap. They were 165 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,959 Speaker 1: ready to fire everybody, think Washington ever ready fire everybody 166 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: that year Coughlin was under major fire, no question. Washington 167 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 1: won it uh in twenty fifteen at nine and seven 168 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: because they beat the Cowboys in the No it was 169 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,439 Speaker 1: that was the other year, but they won it nine 170 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: and seven. Okay, So, so I was talking NFC with 171 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: Seattle and that that was the Big Beast mode run 172 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: by Marshawn in twenty ten to beat the Saints. It's happened. 173 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: I mean, if they were going to receive the playoffs, 174 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 1: I think that would have been discussed in the offseason 175 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: before they make that decision. And it's not going to happen. 176 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: The winner of this division is going to get in 177 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be one of these two teams. And 178 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: as we probably we probably said this couple months ago, 179 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: ever since that December twenty second game is going to 180 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 1: decide the division. And that's crazy. And so who do 181 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: the Eagles plague? And they will they play Washington, the 182 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: Cowboys and the Giants. I don't have any confidence in 183 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: the Eagles at all. I have less confidence in the 184 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: Eagles than I do the Cowboy. Yeah. Are they gonna 185 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: win four straight? I don't think so. No, they're not. No, 186 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: So I don't care how easy that scared. Basically what 187 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: the Cowboys have to do. If they beat Philadelphia and 188 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: win one more game, they're in. I think phil If 189 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: Philly loses one other game other than the Cowboys and 190 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: the Cowboys beat them, the Cowboys are in. They'll be 191 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: in at eight and eight because they'll win the tiebreaker. 192 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: Their final game is at home against Washington, who's three 193 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: and ten. We haven't talked about the Rams yet this week. 194 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: We'll get to that probably more Wednesday. This Sunday, that's 195 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: the first game ahead. And like Mix said, I mean, 196 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: maybe you win two games and of these final three 197 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: and you're in. They just need to win though, right, 198 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: They need to win this Sunday, regardless of playoff position. 199 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: They've got to stop this slide, regardless of the styles 200 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 1: as well. Like I said, right, if I'm if I'm Cowboys, 201 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: I would take a Philly win like that that last 202 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: night's Philly win. I take it in a heartbeat. I 203 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 1: would back out, like my boy used to say, I 204 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: back out like I stole something and just go right 205 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: on back to the locker room and be just as 206 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: happy as I don't know what. This is a very 207 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: unusual outcome for the Cowboys when you look when you 208 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,319 Speaker 1: go all the way back to the signing of all 209 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 1: the alignemen, to the signing of Zeke, you know, to 210 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: Dack's improvement. He's got his little pregame dance, and you 211 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: go back to all of that and the optimism that 212 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: we had. I mean, we're we're like NFC NC Championship 213 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: game a bust. This is it, this is what we're 214 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: going to be there And he started off three. You know, God, 215 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: those are such good times now a long time ago 216 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: to squeak into the playoffs. It's like we felt we 217 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: fell asleep and we're having a nightmare, you know, right 218 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: in between the good times, and we won't wake up. No, 219 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: we won't wake up. And if they don't wake up, 220 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: then they're in trouble. But at like I said, you 221 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: can make it at eight and eight, but they could 222 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: only lose one more game and it can't be to Philadelphia. 223 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: Who's the Eagles remaining schedule again, Washington. Um, they're going 224 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: to lose the Skins, Cowboys at home and at the Giants, 225 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: so they have you know, winnable games ahead as well. 226 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 1: But the Cowboys due too. I mean, I still look 227 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 1: at this Cowboys team and I say, I my eyes 228 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,199 Speaker 1: did not deceive me in training camp. There's still talent 229 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: on this football team. Why they're not playing to their level? 230 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 1: I I mean, Dak said it after the game. I 231 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: can't put my finger on it. Mantal aspect of sports 232 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: is extremely underrated. Let's just say it, guys, if you're 233 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 1: extremely underrated, you're the man to talk about it too, 234 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: because I mean I had to play with mine because 235 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: I had so many physical limitations. And so when you 236 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 1: look at these guys that have so much physical abilities, 237 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: and you know, all this knowledge and technology. Now we've 238 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: got the you know, we've got the numbers going. Now, 239 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: we've got the quality of control going. We never even 240 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: thought about that kind of crap when we played. You know, 241 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: I don't think I can't see Pittsburgh Steel is really 242 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,439 Speaker 1: worrying too much, you know, stealing teams of the seventies, 243 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: really worrying too much about you know, if I shade 244 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 1: myself to the left a little bit, then I won't 245 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: get this pump blocked or you know, worried about tripping out. 246 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 1: They didn't care about all that crap. You know that 247 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 1: there was no mental letdown doing some of the most 248 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: physical aspects and the most physical eras of sports. No 249 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: one cared about. No one really put so much on 250 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: the mental aspect of it. To us, it was just 251 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: either all physical we had instinctively, or we didn't. You know, 252 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: we're gonna play this team game. I need you here, 253 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: I need you there. Let's coordinate. Now. You know, we've 254 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: gotten so isolated, we've gotten so specialized, all these guys, 255 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: And no matter how specialized you are, no matter what 256 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: you run your ford end, you can still get beat. 257 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: Somebody's gonna beat you, regardless of how fast you are. 258 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: I don't care how many weights you left. I don't care. 259 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: We got some strongest offensive linemen in the league, and 260 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: we can't pass block half the time. We've got some 261 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: of the best wide receivers athletically, I've gallup do some 262 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: amazing things, but he's probably got still more drops than 263 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: anybody on the team. Right So the mental aspect of 264 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: sports cannot be you know too it can't be emphasized 265 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: too much. And right now, these guys are physically amazing, 266 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: and mentally they are just as weak as they can be. 267 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: Right now, they need a confidence shot somehow, And the 268 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: only way you're gonna get it. If you win, right, 269 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: you gotta win. Now, you were talking about specialized I've 270 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: noticed on the schedule board there yesterday. The first thing 271 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: they had yesterday was special teams meeting. And it's all 272 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: except for one now, right, except for one player. Yeah, yeah, 273 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: well that's interesting. Meeting didn't include the kicker, didn't. Yeah, 274 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: that's it. Didn't. We'll get to that in the next 275 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: segment real quick though. Piggybacking on what you said, Everson, confident, 276 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: Mickey two. Confidence is so big. The thing that I 277 00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: think surprises me the most about this team is that 278 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: it's large. The roster is largely the same as last year. 279 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: And what we talked about last year was it was 280 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: a young team, Mickey. Mickey was dead right about this 281 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: during this early in the season last year, young team 282 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: that needed to learn how to win and get and 283 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: find ways to improve. As the season went on. Not 284 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: only did they improve, but they were able to handle 285 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: some of the things in game better that didn't go 286 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: their way. And Jason Garrett is still talking about this 287 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: after the Bears loss, the adversities of the game, when 288 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: things aren't going well, how do they respond? They're not 289 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: responding as well as you you would think they could. 290 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: And that's what's surprising, because it is a team that 291 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: had a lot of experience, a lot of good good experience, 292 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: bad experience that helped them last year. And it's not 293 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: you would think they'd build on that. It's not being 294 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: built on this year. That's what surprising. Last year it 295 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: was tough. I mean, they overcame a lot, Like we 296 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: talked about the first part of the season, they coup came. Yeah, yeah, 297 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: that one guy made a difference, and of course it 298 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: gave Dak all the confidence. The offensive line still work 299 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: and Zeke still running the ball. We can't we overcame 300 00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: a lot. Was seven out of eight you said, yea 301 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: to end the year seven out of eight got shut 302 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 1: out by Indianapolis. The only lie, I mean, besides the 303 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: only difference now is guys are making more money. That's 304 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 1: the only difference in this team. And I hate to 305 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 1: be one of those guys that said, well, yeah, they 306 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: finally got paid and now they don't play as hard. 307 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: I just if that's the case, and they we talk 308 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 1: about this. I hear the media talk about this a lot. 309 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: As far as players, especially in this era, if you 310 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: get paid, you don't play as hard. That seems to 311 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: be the narrative that you guys fall back on if 312 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: you if you're playing for a contract, if a guy 313 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: like playing off his mind, Oh he's playing for a contract, 314 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: you know, then all of a sudden he gets a contract. 315 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: He's not playing off his mind, you know. To me, 316 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: I can't understand that. I never got that, because I 317 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: think that's like in the Book of excuses, like when 318 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,400 Speaker 1: you can't figure out why this is happening. Oh, here 319 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: it is. He's not motivated. Now, yeah, he's not motivated. 320 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: And it's like if they weren't motivated, they don't drive 321 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: down the field in the fourth quarter and get within 322 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 1: a touchdown right of the Bears. You're you're you're getting 323 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: your ass beat all game long, and all of a sudden, oh, 324 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 1: let's go score some touchdowns. Now, I just think that's 325 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 1: that's lame, because there they are. To me, here, this 326 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,360 Speaker 1: is what scares you. They're still playing hard and they're 327 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: getting beat. Right, So it's still running that ball. We're 328 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: still playing playoff style football, running the ball, okay, the 329 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,360 Speaker 1: way you're supposed to the only thing we're not doing 330 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: is playing a good defense. We're moving the ball, we're 331 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: moving the chains. We're just not playing the good playoff defense. 332 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:33,919 Speaker 1: When you look at the team, like let's say the 333 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: Ravens man you just look at that defense sometimes and 334 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: they just look so brow and gritty. It's like, no 335 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: matter what happens, we don't care. You know what, We're 336 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: gonna blow it up. Playing with a lot of confidence. 337 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: You can just see it in their defense. It's just 338 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: like it doesn't care. Guys. We're gonna be all over 339 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: this field. It's gonna be organized chaos, and you're going 340 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 1: to react to what we're doing. We're gonna dictate this 341 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: entire tempo of this game. And even without Lamar Jackson, 342 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: that's the way their defense plays all the time. And 343 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: that's just an example of some of the good defense 344 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 1: in the league that you that's the attitude you have 345 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 1: to have. We just don't have it. We always seem 346 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: to be when you look at the Cowboys team, that 347 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,479 Speaker 1: just always seems to be a lot of room. You know, 348 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 1: no one seems to be pressed. You know, he seems 349 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 1: they just seem like they can just sit back and 350 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: be comfortable. To quarterback sitting back there there's room all 351 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: over the place. You throw it to the back. There's 352 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 1: no one within five ten yards of him. There's a 353 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: lot of room. When you play against some of the 354 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: better defenses that they just seems to be pressed. They 355 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:41,400 Speaker 1: seem to be invaded, and that's what that's what good 356 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: defenses do. They invade your space. And I hate to 357 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 1: giving them an excuse, but I still say that they 358 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: missed two players during this stretch of five games. They 359 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: miss Layton vander esh on the field for his ability, 360 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: and they miss Jeff Heath out there for his just 361 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 1: knowledge of diagnosing things on what's happening. A lot of 362 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: a lot of times players like that, especially with the Heath. 363 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: It's the plays you don't see right way. It made 364 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 1: a difference. That's that's the you know, the subtlety of 365 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 1: good defensive back play. Now, I don't know if that's 366 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: necessarily a case. You talked about Van Due. He was 367 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: having a tough time. He went out, he was Jets 368 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: game was just you know, he was You can see 369 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 1: that trend going during the Jets game. He couldn't stop 370 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: anybody's better than that. That's true, Although I do think 371 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,239 Speaker 1: some of the coverage stuff he could help in that 372 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 1: area because the tight ends that that they've been struggling against, 373 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: specially Sean And you look ahead Higbee with the rams Urts. 374 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: You talked about him, I mean coming up. The tight 375 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: ends are involved in these offenses that they're playing coming up, 376 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 1: So that's going to be a factor. You gotta love 377 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: tight ends in this area. You gotta love tight ends. 378 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 1: They're just they're the studs of the squad. The studs 379 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: are pretty much every squad. I mean, what what so 380 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 1: was it the Bears? Yeah, Holtz? Was that the guy's name? Yes, Well, 381 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 1: who's he? We know him now, but we know who 382 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: he is now. They're getting nipple and dimed underneath, you know, 383 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: and the linebackers and your safeties and you know, God 384 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: bless God, bless Jeff Heath. He's trying, but he's got 385 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: two shoulders. Was talking to him yesterday that need postseason surgery. 386 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,640 Speaker 1: He's got labor in tears in both shoulders, and he's 387 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: trying to get out there and show him that if 388 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: I wear a blrace or on both shoulders, I can 389 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: go out there and do it. Now it's a matter 390 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: of doing it and managing the pain, because the pain's 391 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: not going to go away, and the fact that we're 392 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 1: not winning, the fact that we're so desperate we don't 393 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: have the luxury to let him sit out and heal. Yeah, 394 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: and it's eating at him because he can't stand watching. 395 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: He wants to go out there. He tried to practice 396 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: again yesterday and basically he said, yeah, it comes down 397 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: to how much pain can I manage? Tough guy. He 398 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: told me after the Pat's game he thought he could 399 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 1: play on Thanksgiving, you know, but they weren't going to 400 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: let him do it, and and try to get him 401 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: ready to go. I do think you're right, Nickel, diming underneath. 402 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: But that's part of this defense too, is to take 403 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 1: away big plays and they're not making tackles and open 404 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: field in space, and it's leading to larger games. I've 405 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: seen Sean Lee do his thing, you know, he diagnoses 406 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 1: it's like he albaally knows the play right, then he'll 407 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: he'll get there man, and the guy goes right through 408 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: his hands. So I mean, I try to go back 409 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 1: to when I was getting a little older in the game. 410 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: Tackling was never the issue. It was always trying to 411 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: keep up. It's the legs with Sean Lee's getting there 412 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 1: with the legs but he's not making the tackles. So 413 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: I don't you know? These things are compounding all the 414 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:51,160 Speaker 1: with all the other problems that we're having on defense, 415 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: there is another problem they've had on the roster, and 416 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: they made a roster move, a significant roster move.

But we've got a 474 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 1: few minutes left on talking Cowboys, and I tease the 475 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: roster move from yesterday. By now everybody knows there has 476 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 1: been a kicker change. We talked about it probably thirty 477 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: minutes before the Cowboys made it official. Brett maher cut 478 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: Kai four bath in what y'all's reaction to that move? 479 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: I was just surprised that, you know, you look at 480 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 1: all these other teams in the league and they're able 481 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 1: to find kickers, veteran kickers with no problem. Just I'm 482 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: so surprised that we're such slum pickings out there. Yeah, 483 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 1: for kickers these days. And you know, this guy's made 484 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:58,199 Speaker 1: a career out of coming in in emergency situations. How 485 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: does he do? Yeah, when he comes okay, but no 486 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:05,360 Speaker 1: one keeps them okay for a lengthy period of time. Yeah, yeah, 487 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 1: because I think he had to do that in Minnesota 488 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 1: one year and he finished the year, and he kicked 489 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 1: the next year, and then they decided they ended up drafting. 490 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:20,640 Speaker 1: Remember when the the Vikings used a high draft pick 491 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 1: on some guy named I'd want to say Olsen, and 492 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,639 Speaker 1: so they cut for Bath and then this guy failed miserably, 493 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: and so they started looking for other kickers, and I 494 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 1: think that's when they they they signed Dan Bailey after 495 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 1: the Cowboys had cut him and they were struggling with 496 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 1: their rookie. So yeah, this guy has been with the Redskins, 497 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 1: the Saints, the Vikings, Jacksonville, and then kicked that one 498 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 1: game for New England after Nick Folk had his appendectomy, 499 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,400 Speaker 1: and then they were going to bring him back once 500 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 1: he could kick again. So they released for Bath, and 501 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 1: for Bath said, you know, I feel a little bit 502 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: better that at least I got one game in before 503 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 1: I got signed. I had to come here for the 504 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: for the tryout. He made a twenty three yard field goal. 505 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:10,959 Speaker 1: And one of his problems in his career has been 506 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: extra points, because he was one for two with New 507 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: England in that game, and he's extra points are ninety 508 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 1: three percent one seventy three, one eighty five. It's a 509 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 1: lot of missed extra points. He's missed twelve in his career. Huh. Yeah, Well, 510 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: now the funny thing that that was the one thing 511 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 1: Maher did consistently, really consistently. I don't think he missed 512 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: an extra point all year, which is not a gimme anymore. 513 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,439 Speaker 1: He did at the end. He did it. He did 514 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,880 Speaker 1: at the end, and that's when he struggled. He struggled 515 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: down the stretch last year. Yes, I think the main 516 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: thing about it was it's not just extra points. I 517 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: think when you try to put together a game plan 518 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: and you try to put together a drive, this is 519 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: a guy to have drive. And at the worst case scenario, 520 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: we can only take a field goal. Worst case scenario, 521 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: we we got to take a field goal and he 522 00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: gets out there and misses it and you in grape position. 523 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: He's done that more than once. Yeah, and when you're 524 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 1: when you're having all these problems that we're having, the 525 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 1: kicker is supposed to be the solution. He's supposed to 526 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: be that that that that steady guy, and he wasn't. 527 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: I think all the Cowboys had to do was take 528 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 1: a uh look at Dak Prescott's face after he missed 529 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: the one they drove down and looked like it had 530 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 1: been what thirteen ten at a halftime, and and Dak 531 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 1: was just standing there on the sideline and it was 532 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: like they knew he was gonna miss it. Yeah, they 533 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: could feel it, and he just like all the air 534 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: went out of it. They could feel it though. That's 535 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 1: what the reason you saw the look on his face was, 536 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: because Dak's face is like, I bet he's gonna miss 537 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: this crap that you could that's the that's the feeling 538 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: that you have from your leader. So I don't know 539 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: if this is better or not, or what this guy's 540 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 1: gonna do, but it had gotten to a point where 541 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: you just didn't have any more confidence in him. And 542 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: I think he seemed resigned to it because after the game, 543 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 1: after the game, he's said, I thought I kicked it. Well, 544 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna sleep okay at night. That sounded to me 545 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: like a guy that felt like this was going to happen. 546 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: It is probably the end of the line here, you know. 547 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: The funny thing. So they had to try out or 548 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: the workout yesterday morning, probably when we were doing our show, 549 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 1: because I think it came down right when after we 550 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: finished about noon. Yeah, yeah, And so they had to 551 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 1: try out home and I was like, okay, we missed that. 552 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: For baths said he was sitting in the in the 553 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: in the the lunch room there and he gets a 554 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 1: call from his mom because mom goes, hey, congratulations and 555 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 1: she goes, he goes congratulations for what. He goes the 556 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: Cowboys signed you Instagram and it's like, how do you know? Well, 557 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: his agent figure that the Cowboys had already told him, 558 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 1: so the agent called his mom. I think it was 559 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 1: a family friend or something. He told his mother, So 560 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: his mother found out before he did something, right, So 561 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 1: it sounded like maybe she came to the work and 562 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: you're right, make they are familiar with him. He went 563 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: to camp in twenty eleven. I forgot this. He actually 564 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 1: worked out for them again in twenty sixteen when Bailey 565 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 1: had a back issue. Remember that he woke up on 566 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: a yes and they weren't sure if he was going 567 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: to be able to kick or not. Right, Yeah, I 568 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:16,959 Speaker 1: think he made it through a game, might have been 569 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: San Francisco, But then the next week he was banged up. 570 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: He wound up kicking, but they worked him out. This 571 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: guy's been around a long time and I think that 572 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: that was that was the difference from the workouts the 573 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 1: week prior, is that those other guys just didn't have 574 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: the experience. We'll see what happens. But I think you're right. 575 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: They just felt like something had to change at this point. Yeah, 576 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: And I just think from a confidence standpoint. You know, 577 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 1: in two thousand and nine when he was at UCLA 578 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 1: his junior year, he won the Lou Grozo Award. He 579 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 1: was the top kicker in the in the league. And 580 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: then when he came out when the Cowboys were going 581 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 1: to sign him, he had he tore his hamstring muscle, 582 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 1: and so they signed him anyway, and it was like okay, 583 00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: because that was the year, the strike year, so bad 584 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 1: year for a kicker to come out, because no one 585 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 1: got signed until right the day before he started training camp. 586 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 1: A few guys remember, and they were signing guys as 587 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: we went to training camp right San Antonio. So the 588 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: Cowboys had a workout. They had four kickers in and 589 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: Bailey was one of them. Shane Graham was another. I 590 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: forgot the other two, and so they decided on Bailey. 591 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: But they signed four bath and put him on non 592 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 1: football injury and said we'll keep him because we don't 593 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: know what Bailey's going to do. Well. Bailey has a 594 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 1: good year and we get to April and then they 595 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 1: just release him and then he started his caravan through 596 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 1: the league trying to hang in there. He had a 597 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: big leg, but he did have a little bit of 598 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 1: accuracy part. But for his career eighty five percent and 599 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 1: ninety three percent on extra point and he's eighty seven 600 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: and he's eighty seven percent between thirty and forty nine. Yeah, 601 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: if you're going to make a difference, you're going to 602 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 1: try to make a statements as a staff, as a 603 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 1: coaching staff, as an organization. You're not playing well, and 604 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: you know, we got to make an example out of 605 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,480 Speaker 1: somebody to let everybody know, you know, okay, we're not 606 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 1: just going to stand for the status quote we get. 607 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: We just can't do that anymore. This is showing that. Okay, 608 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 1: this is put up a shet up time. If you're 609 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 1: going to get rid of somebody, right, kicker, that's that's 610 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 1: the safest way to go. You get rid of the kicker. 611 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 1: You could get rid of a punter. You could be 612 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: the kicker. While punter is great, kickers having problems. I 613 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 1: think it's an obvious move. Yeah, it really wasn't t is. Yeah, 614 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 1: the league high so that was like that year when 615 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: the Cowboys were in that streak. I think it was 616 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 1: in ninety three. Uh, and uh, Jimmy was trying to 617 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: keep them attention and let them know how important all 618 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 1: this was. In the former the linebacker from A and 619 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,959 Speaker 1: M fell asleep in the meeting room, right, he cut them. 620 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: Now that's not the only one either. Yeah, but I'm 621 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 1: and I got one too. And it was like, this 622 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:10,919 Speaker 1: guy's not playing. Uh was it Quentin Coriot? Just something 623 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 1: low impact? He wasn't even playing special teams, like he 624 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 1: was a backup linebacker. And he fell asleep in the 625 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: team meeting. And as a matter of fact, it was 626 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 1: Jimmy's meeting in the big room tells the story that 627 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 1: the meeting was over. To man the hair the right 628 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 1: attitude date tells the story when the meeting was over. Uh, 629 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: he was still sleeping and Jimmy went and so they 630 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,240 Speaker 1: all walked out and left him in that room sleeping 631 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,839 Speaker 1: by himself. Jimmy did that. I guess who the next 632 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 1: guy in was, Bruce May's bring your bring your playbook. 633 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 1: I saw Bruce the other day. I got nervous. Man, 634 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 1: I sawed me the game, like, oh my god, you're 635 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,400 Speaker 1: still here. So I got one of mind. Is the 636 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 1: running back number twenty five. Richard was, yeah, come on it. 637 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 1: For some reason, that name sticks in my head. But 638 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 1: cut him at Christmas, cut him right around Christmas because 639 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,320 Speaker 1: he was trying to fire. And it was the ninety 640 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 1: two season, and he fumbled a ball against the Bears 641 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,919 Speaker 1: whole game of the season and then the game didn't 642 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,279 Speaker 1: meet anything right. He was a backup. He was in 643 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 1: just to show what he could do, and he fumbled 644 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 1: the ball. And that was Jimmy's way because it was 645 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:35,880 Speaker 1: around Christmas time, and everyone on the team, according to 646 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: the players, because I talked to some of them, they 647 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 1: said that was just his way of putting fear and 648 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: motivation into his team.

Anything stand out to you ever 708 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,560 Speaker 1: since about this Rams team that concerns you, well, just 709 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,800 Speaker 1: that momentum. Yeah, that it just seems like when the 710 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:34,120 Speaker 1: cow this is the Cowboys worst case scenario. Every team 711 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,759 Speaker 1: is picking it up as we play them. Uh, they 712 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,960 Speaker 1: seem to be hitting their stride. This Rams team is 713 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 1: all of a sudden they realize they've got one of 714 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 1: the best running backs in the league and they decided 715 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,960 Speaker 1: to finally start playing him. I don't know what was 716 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,960 Speaker 1: going on with those guys, And you know, you talked 717 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,319 Speaker 1: about having being a smart coach. I think I think 718 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,960 Speaker 1: he's I think he's really missed the boat and he's 719 00:39:54,120 --> 00:40:01,799 Speaker 1: caused them unnecessary uh, unproductive. It's unnecessary because you got 720 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,320 Speaker 1: this running back in the backfield, and for some reason 721 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,480 Speaker 1: you've chosen to play him cute. You know, don't be 722 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 1: don't play cute with the with the star of your team. 723 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,160 Speaker 1: I just think that was a big mistake and it's 724 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:16,640 Speaker 1: until now it has had long lasting problems. I'm gonna 725 00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,040 Speaker 1: write about that today. Believe Sean mcvah called himself an 726 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 1: idiot for not using Todd Gurley enough. Okay, and that's 727 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,759 Speaker 1: twelve months gone. We've been on that for a year. Yeah. 728 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,279 Speaker 1: So yeah, and they you know what, they were in 729 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 1: the same boat the Cowboys were. They were both sitting 730 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,680 Speaker 1: there at six and five. And the Cowboys lost their 731 00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:35,799 Speaker 1: next two and they won their next two, and now 732 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:37,600 Speaker 1: they're the hot team at eight and five. And the 733 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:42,320 Speaker 1: Cowboys it's when six and seven, when you hit about 734 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:46,000 Speaker 1: and they're handing the ball to Gurley, they are imagine 735 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,680 Speaker 1: that you have well and I'm gonna write about this 736 00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,879 Speaker 1: today too. They haven't. There hasn't been opportunities for Zeke 737 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,280 Speaker 1: consistently throughout the game. Yeah that's two games and running. 738 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:59,760 Speaker 1: But I mean from their standpoint, ye not complaining Comparing 739 00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 1: to the Cowboys. It's like you got Todd Gurley, feed 740 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:07,920 Speaker 1: that guy right. Things easier on golf. You watch that 741 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,439 Speaker 1: has been having numbers when we complained about not given 742 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,759 Speaker 1: to z uh bad quarterback has not had numbers. Golf 743 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,360 Speaker 1: hadn't had the numbers, and they still wouldn't give it 744 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,440 Speaker 1: to Gurley's not the best time to see balance from 745 00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 1: the l A rams. But sometimes you don't have to 746 00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:29,440 Speaker 1: be a genius to figure this out. Wells right, we 747 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,680 Speaker 1: got some geniuses on this show. Thank you guys for 748 00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:33,919 Speaker 1: joining us. We'll be back tomorrow.
