<v Speaker 1>Walls in his customary spot with the picture of Everson

0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:58.240
<v Speaker 1>behind him in his home office. I made my home

0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:01.639
<v Speaker 1>office as well. As we put the wraps on Atlanta

0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:05.839
<v Speaker 1>and look forward to Seattle as Seahawk Week is about

0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:10.560
<v Speaker 1>to officially begin on Wednesday, and Mickey, you'll arrived just

0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:12.760
<v Speaker 1>in time for your own show. I'm proud of you.

0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Had a lot of stuff to do, you know, I

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:17.560
<v Speaker 1>got one more than one master, and we needed to

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:19.560
<v Speaker 1>do a couple of TV things, and I cut it

0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.760
<v Speaker 1>a little close, but I guess I can get to

0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:27.360
<v Speaker 1>my lunch that's sitting over there. A little later, much later,

0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:32.560
<v Speaker 1>forty five minutes, I got a bank. It we do

0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:37.200
<v Speaker 1>have breaks, though you certainly didn't. Don't try doing the

0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:40.240
<v Speaker 1>breaks might be something in your teeth when we come

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:44.640
<v Speaker 1>back you don't want to do. Spare us all, please, Mickey.

0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:48.120
<v Speaker 1>All right, there was so much to get to yesterday

0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:51.400
<v Speaker 1>forty five minutes couldn't contain us. And so there's carry

0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 1>over today. And first off, Mickey, got any breaking news

0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:59.400
<v Speaker 1>out there at the Star in Frisco, anything on your

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:03.880
<v Speaker 1>mind to get kick things off? Well, um, you know,

0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 1>it sounded like it was encouraging what Jerry Jones had

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:12.760
<v Speaker 1>to say this morning about Tyrn Smith, the potential availability

0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 1>for the game on Sunday, that certainly would help the

0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 1>cause instead of having to sign to start two undrafted

0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:24.880
<v Speaker 1>offensive tackles the way they did this past Sunday and

0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:28.880
<v Speaker 1>somehow some way got away with it to score forty

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:35.600
<v Speaker 1>points with Terrence Steele and Brandon Knight starting at at

0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:39.800
<v Speaker 1>at the tackle positions. So I think from a I

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:42.519
<v Speaker 1>don't know if that's news or not. And I guess

0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:45.920
<v Speaker 1>the other news we found out last night that what

0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Greg Zurline did for the on side kick is called

0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 1>a watermelon kick, A great name. I love that. I

0:02:55.639 --> 0:03:01.359
<v Speaker 1>love that. John Fossile John fossils playing the name because

0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:05.320
<v Speaker 1>you lay the ball down on the ground like a watermelon. Uh,

0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:08.040
<v Speaker 1>and if you if you kind of push a watermelon,

0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:11.320
<v Speaker 1>it usually spins side the side like that. So they

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:16.799
<v Speaker 1>named it the watermelon kick. I like that. I love

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:29.160
<v Speaker 1>I love watermelon. That is good that elamed they talk about, Uh,

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:35.080
<v Speaker 1>the fact that the entire kickoff team had zero idea

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:38.160
<v Speaker 1>that they could pick up the ball if they could

0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 1>pick up that watermelon before it went ten yards? Did

0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:47.600
<v Speaker 1>they even address that fact? Did you say Atlanta or

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:53.240
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys? No? Did Atlanta talk about they did? And

0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:58.560
<v Speaker 1>did anyone Atlanta? Dan Quinn said that they they absolutely

0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:00.920
<v Speaker 1>knew that they could do that. That was not a

0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 1>coaching error. I think everybody probably got cold that got

0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:08.520
<v Speaker 1>cold feet that they didn't want to be the one

0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:10.840
<v Speaker 1>to jump on the ball and not recover it. But

0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking you could have just had three guys jump

0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:16.600
<v Speaker 1>on it and recover the ball before it got to

0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:21.920
<v Speaker 1>ten yards. Well, the way they played, just the way

0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 1>that everything came down, especially in that last drive. When

0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:28.400
<v Speaker 1>you look at it, it was just chaos all the

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 1>way around, even from the the official standpoint. You remember

0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 1>the gallop played of course we did you know where

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:40.520
<v Speaker 1>what they say, one butt cheek equals two feet right?

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:48.240
<v Speaker 1>At first, at first it was called incomplete. The referee

0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:52.280
<v Speaker 1>was emphatic, he was waving it off out of bounds.

0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 1>And then of course the penalty came, and after that

0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:03.080
<v Speaker 1>they changed the call on the reception on the incomplete

0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:07.080
<v Speaker 1>to a completed call, which off a little bit of

0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:12.720
<v Speaker 1>confusion but also gave the Cowboys options in regards to

0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:16.680
<v Speaker 1>how they wanted to treat the penalty versus the reception.

0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:21.000
<v Speaker 1>So I'm trying to figure out who came over and

0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:27.240
<v Speaker 1>talked the referee out of uh calling that an incomplete

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.680
<v Speaker 1>to a completed pass. Did you did you do any

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:33.560
<v Speaker 1>research on that spact? Well, they huddled up, so um,

0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.600
<v Speaker 1>I guess they got together, but it got reviewed, right,

0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:42.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't he challenge it? Right? Right? But initially you would

0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:46.720
<v Speaker 1>not they initially we would have had to challenge correct

0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:51.039
<v Speaker 1>because they had called it out. Initially, it called it incomplete.

0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 1>And say to me, I thought that was a little

0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:57.680
<v Speaker 1>bit of unnecessary confusion in a very frantic two minutes.

0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 1>But Mickey, you were at the game, right, yes, yeah,

0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:05.160
<v Speaker 1>so you you saw the officials huddle up for those

0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:08.520
<v Speaker 1>of us watching on television. I don't think they showed

0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:13.000
<v Speaker 1>the officials huddling up prior to the referee making the

0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:16.279
<v Speaker 1>call and the announcement of the call. But yeah, the

0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:20.880
<v Speaker 1>back judge obviously he ruled it incomplete, and I just

0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.560
<v Speaker 1>assumed that they must be huddling up for them to

0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:26.720
<v Speaker 1>change it. In the side judge or whoever felt like

0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:28.640
<v Speaker 1>he had a better view of it, and after they huddle,

0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:33.280
<v Speaker 1>and then that put the onus on Atlanta to challenge

0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:36.279
<v Speaker 1>the call, and so the Falcons then challenged it, and

0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:40.880
<v Speaker 1>on review you couldn't I mean, it didn't matter either way.

0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:44.000
<v Speaker 1>If if they would have ruled it incomplete, I believe

0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 1>the review would not have changed the call because it

0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:49.920
<v Speaker 1>was too close to call. There wasn't enough evidence there,

0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:53.720
<v Speaker 1>and so as it was, since the call on the

0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:55.920
<v Speaker 1>field was that it was a good catch, there wasn't

0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:59.760
<v Speaker 1>enough evidence on the video on the review, but it was.

0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:01.920
<v Speaker 1>It was a good mood by Atlanta to challenge it

0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:03.919
<v Speaker 1>because you don't know for sure what kind of what

0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:06.480
<v Speaker 1>you're going to get on the replay. But that was

0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:08.599
<v Speaker 1>a huge play of the game. But the Cowboys any

0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:12.160
<v Speaker 1>huge call, as it turns out, for them to get

0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:15.400
<v Speaker 1>together and in the Cowboy fans opinion, get the call

0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:18.240
<v Speaker 1>right right, Yeah, absolutely, because if you think about it,

0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.640
<v Speaker 1>they started the play started at the forty three and

0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.000
<v Speaker 1>it ended up at the five, so that that that's

0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:27.160
<v Speaker 1>a huge, uh play in the game. Uh. And then

0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:33.200
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys Uh did have the choice though, uh because

0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:36.080
<v Speaker 1>there was a holding call, defensive holding call, which would

0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:39.800
<v Speaker 1>have only been five yards in the first down. So uh, yeah,

0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:42.480
<v Speaker 1>I would have taken to what thirty seven thirty eight

0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:46.600
<v Speaker 1>yard completion. But they did have a conflict. There was

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:49.920
<v Speaker 1>four of them all together before they made the decision

0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:54.280
<v Speaker 1>to say, yeah it was complete. Well, and you know,

0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 1>it made it, It made it. Uh. What made it

0:07:56.680 --> 0:08:01.080
<v Speaker 1>even more frantic was they had just called called the

0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:05.920
<v Speaker 1>penalty on cdee Lamb for the crackback blocks exactly. It

0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:10.000
<v Speaker 1>got everybody was kind of flipping out, you know, in

0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:14.720
<v Speaker 1>the stadium as well as in our respective homes because

0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:17.400
<v Speaker 1>of course, things were extremely intense. We were looking at

0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:20.600
<v Speaker 1>having to do two scores at that time, and uh

0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:23.960
<v Speaker 1>it's almost as if, you know, the referees were trying

0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:26.600
<v Speaker 1>to take the game away from us. So you had

0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:31.239
<v Speaker 1>two I still call them controversial calls right there. Uh,

0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:34.640
<v Speaker 1>doing an extremely important part of the ball game. Yeah,

0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:38.240
<v Speaker 1>because you think about it, the completion the Noah Brown

0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:41.839
<v Speaker 1>was down to the fifteen yard line. Uh. And and

0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:47.640
<v Speaker 1>then uh not only did you get penalty, you know,

0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:50.520
<v Speaker 1>you lost that completion, but then you got you got

0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:54.439
<v Speaker 1>the penalty on them in force two and it backed

0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:56.920
<v Speaker 1>them up all the way to the forty three. Uh

0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:01.320
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, that was a significant a little sequence there

0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:05.000
<v Speaker 1>on calls. But you know what I've noticed watching all

0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:09.880
<v Speaker 1>these games over the h first two weeks. The officials

0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:14.680
<v Speaker 1>need preseason, by the way. Oh man, there's a lot

0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:19.840
<v Speaker 1>of problems. There's been a lot of problems. Man, it

0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:23.560
<v Speaker 1>has been horrible. Let's let's call it. They have had

0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:26.360
<v Speaker 1>some of the most well not just what they what

0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:29.280
<v Speaker 1>they have called, though there are the calls that they

0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:33.240
<v Speaker 1>did not make that almost makes as big a difference. Uh.

0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:37.600
<v Speaker 1>This has been uh, extremely unusual for the referees to

0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:42.680
<v Speaker 1>where I'm surprised that that story has not been written

0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:46.400
<v Speaker 1>more often spags that title. I have not seen that

0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:50.319
<v Speaker 1>title in any stories in any publication. But the referees

0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.920
<v Speaker 1>at this point, I would be giving them maybe a

0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:57.160
<v Speaker 1>C plus. In all of the games that I've seen

0:09:57.280 --> 0:09:59.880
<v Speaker 1>and the mistakes that have been made and the calls

0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:03.040
<v Speaker 1>have been this a c plus at best. And you know,

0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:07.280
<v Speaker 1>they have a hard enough time calling interference one way

0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:12.520
<v Speaker 1>or the other. Now it's even worse because some of

0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:16.600
<v Speaker 1>the calls they're making are so tickie tack. It's almost like, Okay,

0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:19.440
<v Speaker 1>let's hurry up, let's call that right, instead of kind

0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:22.360
<v Speaker 1>of seeing the thing through. And now that you can't

0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:27.920
<v Speaker 1>challenge the interference anymore, boy, it makes it doubly hard

0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:32.280
<v Speaker 1>to take some of these calls. So, yeah, they needed preseason.

0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:35.120
<v Speaker 1>And here's the other thing. And you guys correct me

0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:37.760
<v Speaker 1>if I'm wrong, but I thought I saw where some

0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:40.960
<v Speaker 1>of the officials opted out, like the guys that normally

0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:44.079
<v Speaker 1>would be doing these jobs decided that they didn't want

0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:47.640
<v Speaker 1>to do it this year, in this pandemic season. And

0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:49.600
<v Speaker 1>so now you've got a lot of new guys, and

0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:52.280
<v Speaker 1>there seems to be a lot of new head referees

0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:56.120
<v Speaker 1>out there that the names don't seem to be recognizable

0:10:56.240 --> 0:11:00.200
<v Speaker 1>that we're used to seeing as well. The other the

0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:03.000
<v Speaker 1>other thing that's happened is even over the last couple

0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:06.239
<v Speaker 1>of years, there's been some veteran officials who ever retired

0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:09.680
<v Speaker 1>as well, unrelated to COVID this year, and so there's

0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:13.960
<v Speaker 1>some new new blood out there. And let me ask

0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:18.280
<v Speaker 1>you something, Bill, and I really spags as well. Do

0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:22.560
<v Speaker 1>the referee still go around to each training camp site

0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:26.839
<v Speaker 1>and talk about the new rules coming into play and

0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:31.760
<v Speaker 1>what they're going to emphasize with each team. I remember

0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:36.520
<v Speaker 1>that was a very unusual meeting between the teams and

0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:41.840
<v Speaker 1>the reps, especially if you're like the Saints who were

0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:45.160
<v Speaker 1>really cheated out of that Rams game a couple of

0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:47.640
<v Speaker 1>years ago. You know, when you see the referees in

0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:52.280
<v Speaker 1>training camp, you know, the guys involved, the coaches, the quarterbacks,

0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:56.280
<v Speaker 1>the receivers, dbs, whatever, they're going to have their notes

0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:59.320
<v Speaker 1>ready for those group of referees and they're going to

0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:01.760
<v Speaker 1>take them to ask in regards to the calls that

0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:05.320
<v Speaker 1>they made last year at their team and how they're

0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:09.920
<v Speaker 1>going to change or you know, adjust for the following season.

0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:13.400
<v Speaker 1>That's a yearly thing comes up every training camp. I

0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:16.440
<v Speaker 1>was wondering if they did that this year with the

0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:21.400
<v Speaker 1>referees visiting every campsite. Everson, Yes, they do. They do

0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:25.320
<v Speaker 1>do that every year, and I guarantee you the year

0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:30.000
<v Speaker 1>after the Saints and that controversial call that sent the

0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Rams to the Super Bowl. I guarantee you that the

0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:36.640
<v Speaker 1>crew that worked that game did not go to the

0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Saints training camp to advise them on the rules the

0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:44.240
<v Speaker 1>following year. I guarantee you that that would have been

0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:48.160
<v Speaker 1>a very strategic move by the UNFL. That crew is

0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:51.360
<v Speaker 1>not going the next training camp to talk to these

0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Saints players about the rules. And I assumed, Mickey that

0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:59.640
<v Speaker 1>this year they did that via a virtual clinic. They

0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:04.360
<v Speaker 1>did they did not do it in person. Absolutely that

0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:09.240
<v Speaker 1>whatever the officials needed to tell the players in a

0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:13.559
<v Speaker 1>team meeting, they did that virtually. That they did not travel.

0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:18.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure the referees were extremely happy. I'm sure the

0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:21.040
<v Speaker 1>referee were extremely happy that they did not meet with

0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:26.360
<v Speaker 1>the players face to face this particular season, because that

0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:30.239
<v Speaker 1>gives them a break. You have players waiting on these referees,

0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:36.600
<v Speaker 1>especially dbs like myself, always upset about PI calls that

0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:41.640
<v Speaker 1>affected maybe a person's career, definitely the game itself. So

0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:45.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure that they were all feeling pretty safe while

0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:49.440
<v Speaker 1>they were doing their zoom calls and WebEx calls and

0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:52.280
<v Speaker 1>not having to meet up with face to face with

0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:58.480
<v Speaker 1>coaches and upset players who've been really they've been holding

0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:03.280
<v Speaker 1>on to those grievances for about six months, so some

0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:07.640
<v Speaker 1>of that that uh, frustration pent up frustration for about

0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:10.160
<v Speaker 1>six months before they could talk to these referees, and

0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:13.719
<v Speaker 1>I know the refs like not this year, thank goodness. Yeah, no.

0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:17.320
<v Speaker 1>One thing. They also instituted to cut down on the

0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:20.280
<v Speaker 1>travel for the officials that they tried to get them

0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:25.720
<v Speaker 1>to do games in their area, their region where they live.

0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:28.560
<v Speaker 1>As a matter of fact, the field judge for this

0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 1>game was former Cowboys defensive back Nate Jones. He was

0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:36.320
<v Speaker 1>able to he was he was one of the officials. Yeah, Nate,

0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Nate went to Uh that's cool. He started off, you know,

0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:44.400
<v Speaker 1>in the lower ranks of college and kind of moved

0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:50.480
<v Speaker 1>up and did the training thing one preseason with the

0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:53.280
<v Speaker 1>NFL doing preseason games. He was kind of in that

0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:56.920
<v Speaker 1>training program and I believe it was last year was

0:14:56.960 --> 0:15:00.480
<v Speaker 1>his first year to actually officiate games, and he was

0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:07.200
<v Speaker 1>the field judge in this game here on Sunday. Nice

0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:10.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, Mickey, you talked about Tyrn Smith and the

0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:13.960
<v Speaker 1>encouraging in news. It appears as this week begins that

0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:17.480
<v Speaker 1>maybe he'll be able to play against Seattle, but you know,

0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:21.120
<v Speaker 1>Mike McCarthy was asked about the two tackles, Brandon Knight

0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:23.400
<v Speaker 1>at left tackle and Terrence Steele at right tackle at

0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:27.680
<v Speaker 1>this prescotference yesterday, and he said, they did good. You know,

0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:31.800
<v Speaker 1>just evidence that the Cowboys throw had forty eight pass

0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:35.440
<v Speaker 1>plays in that game against Atlanta and Dak Prescott only

0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:38.480
<v Speaker 1>got sacked one time. Who would have thought that would

0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:40.800
<v Speaker 1>be the case, And of course that was very early

0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:43.880
<v Speaker 1>in the game that one sack occurred. Who would think

0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:45.720
<v Speaker 1>that that would be the case, that this team would

0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:49.640
<v Speaker 1>put up forty points and the quarterback we get sacked

0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:54.560
<v Speaker 1>only one time with two tackles who are starting, making

0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:58.640
<v Speaker 1>for both of them their second career starts, and both

0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:01.680
<v Speaker 1>of them were college pre agents, one in their second

0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:03.280
<v Speaker 1>year in the leg and the other a rookie. How

0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:07.360
<v Speaker 1>about that? I think that was the most unbelievable part

0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:10.640
<v Speaker 1>of this game, maybe next to the comeback, but the

0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:15.400
<v Speaker 1>comeback couldn't have had taken place without those guys doing something. Now,

0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:20.920
<v Speaker 1>they weren't perfect, and you know, they certainly were attacking

0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:24.560
<v Speaker 1>those guys, and really the one sack that did occur

0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:28.160
<v Speaker 1>was that I believe it was the series that when

0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Dak fumbled the ball right he got hit, yes, And

0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:36.200
<v Speaker 1>they blitzed off off of Terrence Steele's side and he

0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:39.160
<v Speaker 1>picked up one guy and Zeke tried to get the other,

0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:42.280
<v Speaker 1>and I don't think either of were successful in blocking,

0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:44.920
<v Speaker 1>and that's when they came through and caused the fumble.

0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:48.600
<v Speaker 1>So they really never hit Dak and I think I

0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:50.880
<v Speaker 1>don't remember if they put him on the ground or

0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:53.680
<v Speaker 1>the ball came out when he hit him. But after that,

0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:57.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, it kind of got better. So maybe they're

0:16:57.360 --> 0:16:59.640
<v Speaker 1>onto something with these two guys. The more they play,

0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:02.920
<v Speaker 1>maybe they improve. And by the way, they were getting

0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:05.240
<v Speaker 1>help because there was a tight end over on Darren

0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:11.639
<v Speaker 1>Steel's side tight quite often. Yeah, and Blake Bill got

0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:13.919
<v Speaker 1>thirty three snaps in the game, the second tight end

0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:17.040
<v Speaker 1>for the Cowboys. The other thing, in fairness to Atlanta

0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:20.880
<v Speaker 1>Tach McKinley, who, along with Dante Fowler, their top two

0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:23.760
<v Speaker 1>edge rushers. Tach McKinley only played fifteen snaps in the

0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:26.000
<v Speaker 1>game and so he got hurt early and so that

0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:29.280
<v Speaker 1>helped the cause as well. And when you pass forward

0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:32.600
<v Speaker 1>to Seattle this week, they've lost Bruce Irvan for the season. Now.

0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:35.280
<v Speaker 1>He was one of the multitude of players in the league.

0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:38.879
<v Speaker 1>Guitur acls over the weekend and so he's out for

0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:42.800
<v Speaker 1>the year. They also lost one of their defensive backs

0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:45.320
<v Speaker 1>as well for the season, and so the Seattle is

0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:47.800
<v Speaker 1>hurting as well, just like the Cowboys out. And I

0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:50.440
<v Speaker 1>know you got to go to break a real quick bill.

0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:53.520
<v Speaker 1>So when we come back, I got a bone to

0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:58.400
<v Speaker 1>pick with some folks. Held on, I have some bragging

0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:04.040
<v Speaker 1>to do myself. Uh the if I'm not mistaken, the

0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:08.840
<v Speaker 1>last words by Mickey Spagnola was good luck getting thirty

0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:14.199
<v Speaker 1>eight points without Tyran Smith at the tackle position. I

0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:17.440
<v Speaker 1>picked thirty eight thirty one. Okay, if you can talk

0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:20.840
<v Speaker 1>about Greg the leg, I can talk about my guy,

0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:24.160
<v Speaker 1>all right. My guy still came in, did a great job.

0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:26.280
<v Speaker 1>And I don't did we scored thirty eight points. We

0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:29.840
<v Speaker 1>scored forty points. So take that smash with your spash

0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:32.239
<v Speaker 1>with your little smart ass mouth. Hey, but you know

0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:37.200
<v Speaker 1>what I also I also proticted a one point victory too,

0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:41.480
<v Speaker 1>by the way, with Greg Zoro ain't hitting the winning kick. Hey,

0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:44.120
<v Speaker 1>you got your love, I'm trying to get mine. Man.

0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:47.280

0:21:39.520 --> 0:21:43.320
<v Speaker 1>I've got some friends, Mickey and Everson that they this

0:21:43.359 --> 0:21:47.160
<v Speaker 1>weekend they always have a youth football day at the stadium,

0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:50.280
<v Speaker 1>and I think they said that this weekend is youth

0:21:50.280 --> 0:21:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Football Day where a lot of the youth leagues around

0:21:53.760 --> 0:21:57.840
<v Speaker 1>the area are at the stadium playing games and stuff.

0:21:58.480 --> 0:22:01.520
<v Speaker 1>High school football games off there this week In fact,

0:22:01.600 --> 0:22:05.359
<v Speaker 1>John Kittness, you know he's the head coach. John Kittna

0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:09.040
<v Speaker 1>is the head coach at Burlison High School and they're

0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:11.880
<v Speaker 1>playing a game at at and T Stadium to kick

0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:14.840
<v Speaker 1>off the weekend on Thursday night against their arch rivals

0:22:14.880 --> 0:22:18.080
<v Speaker 1>from Burlison Centennial Kittna's son Jalen is one of the

0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:21.480
<v Speaker 1>top recruits in the country. He plays quarterback for him.

0:22:21.600 --> 0:22:26.040
<v Speaker 1>So it's just a great feeling, Doctor Fauci, Mickey that

0:22:26.119 --> 0:22:31.879
<v Speaker 1>we are getting back in Yeah, not only the Cowboys

0:22:31.920 --> 0:22:34.680
<v Speaker 1>playing there, but we got other people playing games there.

0:22:34.800 --> 0:22:38.720
<v Speaker 1>They probably have to double sterilize the field afterwards, right,

0:22:38.800 --> 0:22:44.440
<v Speaker 1>so it's ready for the next home games. That's probably true.

0:22:44.840 --> 0:22:49.600
<v Speaker 1>All right, Wow, I mentioned earlier over the weekend, and

0:22:50.040 --> 0:22:52.560
<v Speaker 1>well let's let's go back to Monday night, Mickey, you

0:22:52.680 --> 0:22:55.920
<v Speaker 1>probably were torn between two games. The Stars game which

0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:58.879
<v Speaker 1>they lost to Tampa Bay in the Stanley Cup Final,

0:22:59.040 --> 0:23:01.960
<v Speaker 1>is even at one apiece. But how about the Raiders

0:23:02.080 --> 0:23:05.199
<v Speaker 1>last night? They fall behind the Saints, who play very

0:23:05.320 --> 0:23:07.760
<v Speaker 1>well in the first quarter, and then Drew Brees looks

0:23:07.800 --> 0:23:10.440
<v Speaker 1>nothing like Drew Brees the next three quarters of the game,

0:23:10.720 --> 0:23:15.520
<v Speaker 1>and John Gruon's Raiders debut Allegian Stadium in Las Vegas

0:23:15.600 --> 0:23:18.840
<v Speaker 1>with a win, and they made it known early on

0:23:18.920 --> 0:23:21.639
<v Speaker 1>there would be no fans in the stands all season

0:23:22.160 --> 0:23:25.359
<v Speaker 1>in Vegas. But the Raiders at two and oh and

0:23:25.400 --> 0:23:27.960
<v Speaker 1>they played the Patriots this week, So in this day

0:23:28.000 --> 0:23:31.560
<v Speaker 1>and age, unlike when we probably all grew up, you

0:23:31.560 --> 0:23:34.720
<v Speaker 1>can have two TVs going at the same time. Okay,

0:23:34.800 --> 0:23:38.760
<v Speaker 1>so I had guarantee you had both games going at

0:23:38.800 --> 0:23:41.480
<v Speaker 1>the same time. And I did keep a good eye

0:23:41.560 --> 0:23:45.080
<v Speaker 1>on that game, and certainly after the hockey game was

0:23:45.119 --> 0:23:49.440
<v Speaker 1>over to watch the ending of the football game, and boy,

0:23:49.520 --> 0:23:52.560
<v Speaker 1>I was really impressed with what the Raiders did. You

0:23:52.600 --> 0:23:55.239
<v Speaker 1>know the Saints, I think they thought they can do

0:23:55.320 --> 0:24:01.560
<v Speaker 1>this without Michael Thomas. Well they couldn't. And their offense

0:24:01.640 --> 0:24:05.159
<v Speaker 1>did struggle. Uh you know, even though they whether they

0:24:05.240 --> 0:24:08.320
<v Speaker 1>end up with twenty four points, uh, they that that

0:24:08.440 --> 0:24:10.800
<v Speaker 1>there was a late touchdown there, they were stuck on

0:24:10.920 --> 0:24:14.600
<v Speaker 1>seventeen for the majority of that game. So yeah, I

0:24:14.640 --> 0:24:18.040
<v Speaker 1>would that stadium would have looked pretty cool with people

0:24:18.080 --> 0:24:22.320
<v Speaker 1>in it. But you know what, the thing that struck

0:24:22.400 --> 0:24:24.359
<v Speaker 1>me as all the seats in the place, and I

0:24:24.359 --> 0:24:27.719
<v Speaker 1>don't think they were covered up. The seats were all black,

0:24:27.840 --> 0:24:31.200
<v Speaker 1>So they were trying to recreate their image from Oakland.

0:24:33.560 --> 0:24:37.120
<v Speaker 1>How strange was it seton Jason Wentton in a Raiders uniform. Wow,

0:24:37.280 --> 0:24:41.760
<v Speaker 1>Now that was with that was strange. You know, he

0:24:41.840 --> 0:24:45.320
<v Speaker 1>even felt like he was uncomfortable in his own scan

0:24:45.480 --> 0:24:48.000
<v Speaker 1>out there. I didn't he just looked, you know, he

0:24:48.080 --> 0:24:50.720
<v Speaker 1>looked even smaller to me. I don't know, maybe it

0:24:50.800 --> 0:24:53.280
<v Speaker 1>was the black jerseys, but that was that just didn't

0:24:53.280 --> 0:24:55.480
<v Speaker 1>seem like the women that I recall. I mean, good

0:24:55.560 --> 0:24:59.080
<v Speaker 1>luck to him. I think he's landed in a great spot.

0:24:59.320 --> 0:25:01.840
<v Speaker 1>He failed up hill at this point, which is a

0:25:01.880 --> 0:25:04.840
<v Speaker 1>great thing for any player who's at the end of

0:25:04.840 --> 0:25:07.879
<v Speaker 1>his career. But when you start talking about Drew Brees

0:25:07.920 --> 0:25:12.480
<v Speaker 1>and really any player that's up there in age, you're

0:25:12.520 --> 0:25:15.800
<v Speaker 1>really not gonna get going. You're not gonna really get

0:25:15.840 --> 0:25:18.240
<v Speaker 1>into your rhythm. I would say at least until the

0:25:18.400 --> 0:25:23.919
<v Speaker 1>sixth game, especially coming from a quarterback position. I know

0:25:23.960 --> 0:25:27.600
<v Speaker 1>when I was as I got older, my body and

0:25:27.760 --> 0:25:30.840
<v Speaker 1>my timing really couldn't get down the way I wanted

0:25:30.840 --> 0:25:34.800
<v Speaker 1>it between my my brain and my feet until like

0:25:34.920 --> 0:25:37.840
<v Speaker 1>halfway during the season. As I got older, that's when

0:25:37.840 --> 0:25:40.679
<v Speaker 1>I felt like I hit my stride. So you have

0:25:40.720 --> 0:25:43.640
<v Speaker 1>to be patient with some of your older players. I

0:25:43.680 --> 0:25:46.760
<v Speaker 1>was talking about at age thirty two. These guys are

0:25:46.800 --> 0:25:51.439
<v Speaker 1>pushing forty two between Brady and Breese and guys of

0:25:51.520 --> 0:25:55.000
<v Speaker 1>that age, So I think if they're able to last

0:25:55.480 --> 0:25:58.560
<v Speaker 1>to the five, fifth or sixth game of the season,

0:25:58.920 --> 0:26:02.840
<v Speaker 1>I think you'll start to see some improvements in Breeze

0:26:02.920 --> 0:26:06.200
<v Speaker 1>his passing game, but at this point he looks old,

0:26:06.520 --> 0:26:11.399
<v Speaker 1>and I'm sure he's feeling really old. You know, you

0:26:11.520 --> 0:26:15.320
<v Speaker 1>look around the league, and there were so many injuries

0:26:15.359 --> 0:26:19.440
<v Speaker 1>this week, and I think the count was seven acls

0:26:19.480 --> 0:26:24.320
<v Speaker 1>torn on Sunday. Two defensive lineman for the Niners, Solomon

0:26:24.400 --> 0:26:29.080
<v Speaker 1>Thomas and Nick Bosa, se Quon Barkley. And as far

0:26:29.119 --> 0:26:31.719
<v Speaker 1>as the Cowboys are concerns, and of course the Cowboys

0:26:31.760 --> 0:26:34.760
<v Speaker 1>will be playing the Niners this year, I mentioned the

0:26:34.800 --> 0:26:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Seahawks injuries, se Quon Barkley out for the year ACL

0:26:39.920 --> 0:26:44.480
<v Speaker 1>as well, and the Giants come here in a few weeks. Wow,

0:26:44.760 --> 0:26:49.359
<v Speaker 1>You'll wonder and whether an ACL qualifies as a type

0:26:49.440 --> 0:26:53.320
<v Speaker 1>injury that not having the off season and training camp.

0:26:54.119 --> 0:26:57.720
<v Speaker 1>They're probably debatable in the medical community that has any

0:26:57.720 --> 0:27:00.000
<v Speaker 1>effect at all on it. But you wonder about these

0:27:00.040 --> 0:27:03.560
<v Speaker 1>injuries and the rash of them across the league, even

0:27:03.600 --> 0:27:06.960
<v Speaker 1>more so than it seems like in normal years, that

0:27:07.080 --> 0:27:09.080
<v Speaker 1>how much of it can be attributed to not having

0:27:09.080 --> 0:27:13.320
<v Speaker 1>an offseason, in a training camp, in preseason games. You know,

0:27:13.400 --> 0:27:18.400
<v Speaker 1>I think I think it attributed to not having played

0:27:18.880 --> 0:27:22.399
<v Speaker 1>much football. It's not just strength and conditioning, it's getting

0:27:22.440 --> 0:27:27.200
<v Speaker 1>your body in situations that are not premeditated. And so

0:27:27.280 --> 0:27:29.720
<v Speaker 1>you can do all these practices, but you know what

0:27:29.840 --> 0:27:32.560
<v Speaker 1>your next step is, and you're not tackling and you're

0:27:32.600 --> 0:27:37.400
<v Speaker 1>not trying to run away from tackles in practices. But

0:27:37.440 --> 0:27:40.720
<v Speaker 1>when you don't have a scrimmage, you don't have any

0:27:40.880 --> 0:27:43.959
<v Speaker 1>preseason games, and I know these guys don't play a

0:27:43.960 --> 0:27:47.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of snaps in preseason, but you're still playing football,

0:27:47.960 --> 0:27:52.160
<v Speaker 1>and there was no contact probably in the majority, if

0:27:52.200 --> 0:27:55.800
<v Speaker 1>not all these training camp practices, and now all of

0:27:55.840 --> 0:27:58.520
<v Speaker 1>a sudden, you're doing things that your body's not used

0:27:58.520 --> 0:28:00.840
<v Speaker 1>to doing. I think it has a lot to do

0:28:00.920 --> 0:28:02.800
<v Speaker 1>with it, and I think that's one of the reasons

0:28:02.800 --> 0:28:07.520
<v Speaker 1>why we've even seen more because you're seeing less practice,

0:28:07.920 --> 0:28:11.400
<v Speaker 1>less football type practice. And I'm not just talking this year.

0:28:11.440 --> 0:28:13.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking the past couple of years with the new

0:28:13.880 --> 0:28:16.359
<v Speaker 1>rules with the CBA, and then all of a sudden

0:28:16.400 --> 0:28:19.080
<v Speaker 1>you're saying, Okay, go out and play this game. It

0:28:19.119 --> 0:28:24.600
<v Speaker 1>ain't that easy. Well, I think in this particular situation

0:28:24.800 --> 0:28:28.560
<v Speaker 1>you talk about the CBA, I mean it makes a difference,

0:28:29.440 --> 0:28:33.120
<v Speaker 1>and you will see some type of an effect without

0:28:33.240 --> 0:28:36.320
<v Speaker 1>a COVID offseason. But you know, that's why they call

0:28:36.400 --> 0:28:41.560
<v Speaker 1>it practice, because you need to simulate. And the guys

0:28:41.680 --> 0:28:45.240
<v Speaker 1>that body hasn't been simulating any type of a pass

0:28:45.360 --> 0:28:48.240
<v Speaker 1>rush move. When you're talking about a guy like a Bosa,

0:28:48.480 --> 0:28:51.680
<v Speaker 1>When you're talking about running backs, there's one thing to

0:28:51.760 --> 0:28:55.600
<v Speaker 1>do running back drills. But when you're getting in a

0:28:55.680 --> 0:28:59.880
<v Speaker 1>pile of players and you're trying to go against this defense,

0:29:00.480 --> 0:29:02.600
<v Speaker 1>your timing And I talked about this a couple of

0:29:02.680 --> 0:29:07.000
<v Speaker 1>weeks ago on this show. Your timing is something that

0:29:08.360 --> 0:29:11.360
<v Speaker 1>you live with. That's your bread and butter. That's how

0:29:11.400 --> 0:29:14.720
<v Speaker 1>you're able to put yourself above the rest because the

0:29:14.720 --> 0:29:17.920
<v Speaker 1>timing that you have might be better than the timing

0:29:17.960 --> 0:29:22.200
<v Speaker 1>of others. Especially you're talking about unique athletes, guys like Abosa,

0:29:22.320 --> 0:29:26.120
<v Speaker 1>Uh you know who who is accustomed to making his

0:29:26.280 --> 0:29:30.000
<v Speaker 1>particular signature moves from the outside. Well, he hadn't been

0:29:30.000 --> 0:29:33.000
<v Speaker 1>doing those signature moves in the offseason at all. He

0:29:33.040 --> 0:29:35.560
<v Speaker 1>hadn't been able to simulate it at all. Next thing,

0:29:35.600 --> 0:29:38.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, not only does he go down the defensive

0:29:38.680 --> 0:29:41.720
<v Speaker 1>end on the other side, also is gone for the

0:29:41.760 --> 0:29:45.320
<v Speaker 1>season with the forty nine ers, So there's No, there's

0:29:45.360 --> 0:29:49.560
<v Speaker 1>no coincidence that Barkley and all of these great players

0:29:49.920 --> 0:29:52.040
<v Speaker 1>have all of a sudden gone down during the early

0:29:52.080 --> 0:29:55.880
<v Speaker 1>part of the season. That's why you need preseason. That's

0:29:55.920 --> 0:30:00.160
<v Speaker 1>why you need a proper training camp. And do we

0:30:00.280 --> 0:30:05.000
<v Speaker 1>say that. I'm sure the powers that be in the

0:30:05.120 --> 0:30:09.280
<v Speaker 1>NFL they knew that this was going to happen, but

0:30:09.320 --> 0:30:13.480
<v Speaker 1>they had to sacrifice these particular players, whoever they would

0:30:13.520 --> 0:30:16.800
<v Speaker 1>have been, just so happens, these particular guys, they had

0:30:16.840 --> 0:30:20.520
<v Speaker 1>to sacrifice them for the sake of getting the season started.

0:30:20.840 --> 0:30:24.880
<v Speaker 1>No matter how unusual, no matter how ill prepared, they

0:30:24.960 --> 0:30:27.840
<v Speaker 1>still had to get this season started. And they knew

0:30:28.080 --> 0:30:31.120
<v Speaker 1>that they were going to have some players, major players

0:30:31.200 --> 0:30:36.120
<v Speaker 1>that were gonna be sacrifice, And here we are. You know, Mickey,

0:30:36.800 --> 0:30:40.719
<v Speaker 1>the reason that they changed the ir rules, the injured

0:30:40.800 --> 0:30:44.840
<v Speaker 1>list rules this year is because of COVID. And what

0:30:44.960 --> 0:30:48.120
<v Speaker 1>do you think of the I really like the fact

0:30:48.120 --> 0:30:52.360
<v Speaker 1>that they've got the three week injured reserve this year

0:30:52.680 --> 0:30:54.959
<v Speaker 1>and the ability for players to come back and an

0:30:55.000 --> 0:30:58.160
<v Speaker 1>unlimited number of players to come back this case. It'll

0:30:58.200 --> 0:31:00.480
<v Speaker 1>be interesting what they do going forward when we get

0:31:00.520 --> 0:31:05.080
<v Speaker 1>back to normal. Knock on wood next year. But what

0:31:05.400 --> 0:31:08.120
<v Speaker 1>do you think of the injured the way they're anlin

0:31:08.160 --> 0:31:11.080
<v Speaker 1>injured reserved this year? Yeah, I think it's a really

0:31:11.160 --> 0:31:14.760
<v Speaker 1>good thing. And now the litmus test is going to

0:31:14.880 --> 0:31:19.960
<v Speaker 1>be can you trust these teams to put guys on IR?

0:31:20.400 --> 0:31:23.800
<v Speaker 1>Do who are really hurt at not like back in

0:31:23.920 --> 0:31:27.960
<v Speaker 1>ever since day and stash guys on IR for four

0:31:28.040 --> 0:31:30.000
<v Speaker 1>weeks because you didn't want to cut them and you

0:31:30.080 --> 0:31:33.240
<v Speaker 1>made up an injury. And it got to the point

0:31:33.280 --> 0:31:36.080
<v Speaker 1>there in the late eighties where they had to send

0:31:36.240 --> 0:31:40.320
<v Speaker 1>independent doctors to your practice to make sure the guy

0:31:40.360 --> 0:31:43.320
<v Speaker 1>you put on IR really had an injury, and to

0:31:43.400 --> 0:31:46.560
<v Speaker 1>make sure that guy wasn't really practicing, but he wasn't

0:31:46.600 --> 0:31:50.280
<v Speaker 1>on your fifty three man roster. So that'll determine if

0:31:50.280 --> 0:31:53.080
<v Speaker 1>this continues, because I think it's a good thing three

0:31:53.120 --> 0:31:56.960
<v Speaker 1>weeks instead of what six to eight. But again, if

0:31:57.320 --> 0:31:59.680
<v Speaker 1>teams start to take advantage of it like they did

0:31:59.760 --> 0:32:02.440
<v Speaker 1>back then, then it's gonna go. All right. You put

0:32:02.520 --> 0:32:05.200
<v Speaker 1>him on IR, You're you're done for the lengthy period

0:32:05.240 --> 0:32:10.040
<v Speaker 1>of time. Don't you miss those days of this honesty

0:32:10.440 --> 0:32:15.880
<v Speaker 1>that was so much fun. I remember that Ever said,

0:32:15.920 --> 0:32:18.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember who the quarterback was, but it was

0:32:18.920 --> 0:32:23.360
<v Speaker 1>training camp in Thousand Oaks, and there was a quarterback

0:32:23.400 --> 0:32:25.760
<v Speaker 1>they wanted to keep, but they didn't want to They

0:32:25.800 --> 0:32:28.520
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to put him on the main roster. And

0:32:28.680 --> 0:32:31.640
<v Speaker 1>I specifically remember the story they told him, Okay, on

0:32:31.720 --> 0:32:34.840
<v Speaker 1>this play, you're going to run a bootleg towards our sideline,

0:32:35.120 --> 0:32:39.440
<v Speaker 1>towards our camera. And you almost get there, you grabbed

0:32:39.520 --> 0:32:43.400
<v Speaker 1>your hamstring and start lifting off. So they ran the

0:32:43.440 --> 0:32:46.320
<v Speaker 1>play and the guy forgot to grab his handstring and

0:32:46.320 --> 0:32:48.600
<v Speaker 1>it's like, Okay, if he's not smart enough to do that,

0:32:49.680 --> 0:32:53.840
<v Speaker 1>he can't take step, you know. I I think he

0:32:53.960 --> 0:33:01.160
<v Speaker 1>grabbed the wrong hamstring. That may have been. Hey, I

0:33:01.240 --> 0:33:03.239
<v Speaker 1>have a question. I have one question before we take

0:33:03.280 --> 0:33:07.240
<v Speaker 1>a break. What's going on with d Lawrence. He's got

0:33:07.280 --> 0:33:10.160
<v Speaker 1>a What happened in the game. We never talked about it,

0:33:10.200 --> 0:33:13.000
<v Speaker 1>did we we yesterday? No? We didn't. He ended up

0:33:13.600 --> 0:33:16.880
<v Speaker 1>with a knee injury. I don't know. It was a sprain. Uh.

0:33:16.920 --> 0:33:20.080
<v Speaker 1>And it happened early, either right at the end of

0:33:20.120 --> 0:33:22.560
<v Speaker 1>the first quarter or some point in the second quarter,

0:33:22.960 --> 0:33:26.160
<v Speaker 1>and so that was the reason why, Uh. They he

0:33:26.360 --> 0:33:30.120
<v Speaker 1>turned into like a designated pass rusher in the second half,

0:33:30.360 --> 0:33:33.440
<v Speaker 1>and he only played like I think it was thirty

0:33:33.640 --> 0:33:40.320
<v Speaker 1>thirty thirty four thirty seven percent of the snaps twenty

0:33:40.320 --> 0:33:42.640
<v Speaker 1>eight snaps. He ended up playing, but that was the

0:33:42.680 --> 0:33:46.760
<v Speaker 1>reason he wasn't getting benched like some people probably tried

0:33:46.800 --> 0:33:49.920
<v Speaker 1>to figure out. Man, they have been roasting him. I

0:33:50.000 --> 0:33:52.960
<v Speaker 1>know they have roasting him. He hurt his knee, and

0:33:53.080 --> 0:33:55.200
<v Speaker 1>you know what, he got off to a really good start.

0:33:55.280 --> 0:33:58.800
<v Speaker 1>He had some early pressures. He I think he had

0:33:58.840 --> 0:34:01.720
<v Speaker 1>a tackle behind the line a scrimmage and then he

0:34:02.120 --> 0:34:07.480
<v Speaker 1>suffered the injury. So we'll see where that goes this week. Yeah,

0:34:07.480 --> 0:34:10.200
<v Speaker 1>that'll be big to find out what's going on with

0:34:10.280 --> 0:34:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Lawrence as the week goes on. He was credited unofficially

0:34:13.400 --> 0:34:16.239
<v Speaker 1>with five tackles in his twenty eight snaps early in

0:34:16.320 --> 0:34:19.160

<v Speaker 1>it is time for a mix shot. I'm ready to

0:37:01.400 --> 0:37:05.920
<v Speaker 1>shoot here. Yeah. Absolutely. You know I kept hearing all

0:37:06.040 --> 0:37:10.760
<v Speaker 1>day yesterday how the Cowboys stole to win. They didn't

0:37:10.760 --> 0:37:14.040
<v Speaker 1>deserve to win the game. Uh. You know, you can't

0:37:14.040 --> 0:37:17.000
<v Speaker 1>play football like that and think you're gonna win in

0:37:17.040 --> 0:37:21.480
<v Speaker 1>the NFL. Well, help me here. Did Atlanta deserve to

0:37:21.600 --> 0:37:25.880
<v Speaker 1>win that game? They gave up five hundred and seventy

0:37:26.080 --> 0:37:31.359
<v Speaker 1>yards on defense. They gave up forty points to a

0:37:31.400 --> 0:37:36.080
<v Speaker 1>team that was playing without their starting two offensive tackles,

0:37:36.120 --> 0:37:43.600
<v Speaker 1>without their starting tight end, without their starting linebacker that

0:37:43.719 --> 0:37:47.520
<v Speaker 1>was very important to to that defense. They lose to

0:37:47.600 --> 0:37:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Marcus Lawrence uh in the game and only played a

0:37:51.480 --> 0:37:54.879
<v Speaker 1>little bit, and they allowed Deak Prescott to throw for

0:37:54.880 --> 0:37:58.640
<v Speaker 1>four hundred and fifty yards. And you're telling me they

0:37:58.719 --> 0:38:02.439
<v Speaker 1>deserved to win the game. No, And they got three

0:38:02.560 --> 0:38:07.520
<v Speaker 1>takeaways and foiled two fake punts and they still didn't

0:38:07.560 --> 0:38:10.239
<v Speaker 1>score enough points to win the game. So tell me

0:38:10.320 --> 0:38:12.520
<v Speaker 1>who deserved to win the game. I guess both of

0:38:12.560 --> 0:38:17.600
<v Speaker 1>them can't lose. But again, the Cowboys scored forty points.

0:38:20.200 --> 0:38:23.920
<v Speaker 1>So I don't want to hear that mess there. And

0:38:24.040 --> 0:38:27.280
<v Speaker 1>what I love about the Fags, what I love about

0:38:27.280 --> 0:38:33.040
<v Speaker 1>the Spags is the fact that the Cowboys also made

0:38:33.120 --> 0:38:35.800
<v Speaker 1>so many mistakes. Of course, we know what happened in

0:38:35.880 --> 0:38:38.879
<v Speaker 1>the beginning of the game. I think it was four

0:38:39.040 --> 0:38:43.239
<v Speaker 1>bubbles they lost three. How our defense held on I

0:38:43.280 --> 0:38:47.640
<v Speaker 1>will never ever understand. And when you look at the

0:38:47.800 --> 0:38:50.800
<v Speaker 1>not just the first quarter, but even the fourth quarter.

0:38:51.200 --> 0:38:54.440
<v Speaker 1>I think we started the fourth quarter with Cooper dropping

0:38:54.480 --> 0:38:58.560
<v Speaker 1>a beautiful pass and a beautiful route by him down

0:38:58.600 --> 0:39:01.960
<v Speaker 1>the field. I guess about twenty the yards Coop felt

0:39:02.080 --> 0:39:05.719
<v Speaker 1>he heard some footsteps and let's just be real, he

0:39:05.920 --> 0:39:08.640
<v Speaker 1>dropped that ball. So that's when we're trying to make

0:39:08.640 --> 0:39:11.680
<v Speaker 1>the comeback. Then, of course we talk about the block

0:39:11.760 --> 0:39:15.640
<v Speaker 1>on CD LAMB, we talk about having to overcome the

0:39:16.520 --> 0:39:19.839
<v Speaker 1>incomplete the incomplete call. So the Cowboys had a lot

0:39:19.880 --> 0:39:24.680
<v Speaker 1>of excuses to lose this ball game, and I'm like you, Spags,

0:39:24.760 --> 0:39:27.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at the other way. They did all they

0:39:27.640 --> 0:39:31.200
<v Speaker 1>could to win on top of all of the mistakes

0:39:31.280 --> 0:39:35.839
<v Speaker 1>that they made, And to me, that's the different Cowboy team.

0:39:35.920 --> 0:39:38.239
<v Speaker 1>That's the difference in the Cowboy team last year and

0:39:38.280 --> 0:39:41.520
<v Speaker 1>this year. We would have done everything we could to

0:39:41.719 --> 0:39:45.120
<v Speaker 1>lose this game last year, but what we did was

0:39:45.520 --> 0:39:48.600
<v Speaker 1>we did everything we could to win it, and to me,

0:39:48.920 --> 0:39:53.960
<v Speaker 1>amongst all of those mistakes, that was the final I

0:39:54.080 --> 0:39:57.480
<v Speaker 1>guess outcome for me is being able to see how

0:39:57.600 --> 0:40:01.399
<v Speaker 1>much they refused to lose this game, which is what

0:40:01.440 --> 0:40:04.720
<v Speaker 1>they would have done last year. They would have lost

0:40:04.880 --> 0:40:08.680
<v Speaker 1>this game the last couple of years. Hey, what do

0:40:08.719 --> 0:40:12.560
<v Speaker 1>you think was aside from the final second, so the

0:40:12.600 --> 0:40:15.080
<v Speaker 1>onside kick and so forth, what do you think was

0:40:15.200 --> 0:40:19.000
<v Speaker 1>the key sequence in the game, the key moment in

0:40:19.040 --> 0:40:23.440
<v Speaker 1>the game that gave the Cowboys the real chance to

0:40:23.480 --> 0:40:27.120
<v Speaker 1>win this game. I may be a little too vague

0:40:27.200 --> 0:40:29.120
<v Speaker 1>with it, but I've got one I'm going to point out,

0:40:29.320 --> 0:40:33.719
<v Speaker 1>and then you anything pomp to mind. Yeah, I think

0:40:33.760 --> 0:40:37.520
<v Speaker 1>it was one hand to catch that was here and

0:40:37.560 --> 0:40:40.480
<v Speaker 1>that was huge, not just the time that we needed

0:40:40.480 --> 0:40:46.280
<v Speaker 1>to set it again, inspiration that it gave the entire team.

0:40:46.680 --> 0:40:51.680
<v Speaker 1>I thought that was something that made people say, Okay,

0:40:51.960 --> 0:40:55.160
<v Speaker 1>we gotta we're still in this and we're not playing

0:40:55.160 --> 0:40:58.800
<v Speaker 1>to lose. We are playing to win. No, no dinky

0:40:59.280 --> 0:41:03.560
<v Speaker 1>little under passes. We went for it and we made

0:41:03.560 --> 0:41:07.160
<v Speaker 1>it and it kept our momentum going. So for me,

0:41:08.320 --> 0:41:10.719
<v Speaker 1>for me, it would have been build the sequence in

0:41:10.800 --> 0:41:16.279
<v Speaker 1>the fourth quarter that started with the Falcons having the

0:41:16.320 --> 0:41:20.200
<v Speaker 1>ball at four fifty seven, after the Cowboys cut the

0:41:20.280 --> 0:41:24.279
<v Speaker 1>margin to thirty nine thirty and didn't get the two

0:41:24.320 --> 0:41:30.319
<v Speaker 1>point conversion, they were the Falcons. The Cowboys had called

0:41:30.360 --> 0:41:33.640
<v Speaker 1>timeout with four thirty nine left. It was second and

0:41:33.719 --> 0:41:36.560
<v Speaker 1>twelve at the thirty three and this has been a

0:41:36.560 --> 0:41:39.959
<v Speaker 1>production of Dellas Cowboys dot Com and the devas comes

0:41:40.000 --> 0:41:41.839
<v Speaker 1>through to that point and I think it was like

0:41:41.960 --> 0:41:47.360
<v Speaker 1>thirty five. They finally finally registered their first sack. Everson

0:41:47.520 --> 0:41:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Griffin sacked Ryan on that second down play and they

0:41:52.520 --> 0:41:56.600
<v Speaker 1>had to face a third and eighteen at the twenty seven,

0:41:57.520 --> 0:42:00.360
<v Speaker 1>and the Cowboys got a stop. It was one of

0:42:00.440 --> 0:42:05.080
<v Speaker 1>the only two stops they got after the first two

0:42:05.160 --> 0:42:08.040
<v Speaker 1>in the game. They had converted points on eight of

0:42:08.160 --> 0:42:12.080
<v Speaker 1>ten possessions, but on that possession they stopped them got

0:42:12.080 --> 0:42:15.000
<v Speaker 1>the ball back at their own twenty five and then

0:42:15.040 --> 0:42:18.319
<v Speaker 1>that's when they drove down and scored the touchdown to

0:42:18.360 --> 0:42:21.319
<v Speaker 1>get it to thirty nine seventeen. That sack had a

0:42:21.400 --> 0:42:26.480
<v Speaker 1>long way show for them to win this game. Should

0:42:26.520 --> 0:42:29.080
<v Speaker 1>they should they have tried to pass the ball? Should

0:42:29.080 --> 0:42:31.759
<v Speaker 1>the Falcons have even tried to pass the ball? Doing that?

0:42:31.880 --> 0:42:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Series facts on second second and twelve. Yeah, and I

0:42:36.200 --> 0:42:39.200
<v Speaker 1>guess they they figured they better, you know, go for

0:42:39.280 --> 0:42:41.279
<v Speaker 1>it and try to put this game away, because they

0:42:41.280 --> 0:42:45.120
<v Speaker 1>were They certainly were. Uh. They they ran the ball

0:42:45.160 --> 0:42:48.719
<v Speaker 1>on first down and Woods came Xavier Woods came in

0:42:48.800 --> 0:42:52.400
<v Speaker 1>and dropped Girly for a two yard loss, And so

0:42:52.440 --> 0:42:54.680
<v Speaker 1>they ended up passing on the next two downs and

0:42:54.760 --> 0:42:58.200
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys got the ball back with two fifty seven

0:42:58.280 --> 0:43:03.920
<v Speaker 1>left after after the punt. So, yeah, you thought they

0:43:04.040 --> 0:43:07.880
<v Speaker 1>made yeah, in the super exact mistake they made in

0:43:08.040 --> 0:43:11.440
<v Speaker 1>the Super Bowl. Yes, they did. That's the same problem

0:43:11.480 --> 0:43:14.080
<v Speaker 1>that they had and that's why Quinn may not have

0:43:14.120 --> 0:43:15.480
<v Speaker 1>his job at the end of this year if they

0:43:15.480 --> 0:43:18.839
<v Speaker 1>don't do better. What do you got billed for me?

0:43:19.200 --> 0:43:23.239
<v Speaker 1>It was? It was the Julio Jones drop of the

0:43:23.320 --> 0:43:27.719
<v Speaker 1>touchdown pass and the Russell Gage throw in midway of

0:43:27.800 --> 0:43:30.759
<v Speaker 1>the third quarter and in the count which if he

0:43:30.840 --> 0:43:35.040
<v Speaker 1>catches that ball, Atlanta leads thirty six to seventeen. They

0:43:35.040 --> 0:43:37.080
<v Speaker 1>get it back up to a nineteen point lead with

0:43:37.160 --> 0:43:39.719
<v Speaker 1>seven minutes to go in the third quarter, and then

0:43:40.280 --> 0:43:43.600
<v Speaker 1>the offshoot of that is the second play after the

0:43:43.680 --> 0:43:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys get the ball. It was the unbelievable catch by

0:43:47.480 --> 0:43:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Amari Cooper where he reaches out with one hand and

0:43:50.960 --> 0:43:53.480
<v Speaker 1>h and for fifty eight yards to set up and

0:43:53.520 --> 0:43:57.000
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys turn that into a touchdown after Dak leaves

0:43:57.080 --> 0:43:59.799
<v Speaker 1>the game for a couple of plays and comes in

0:44:00.000 --> 0:44:02.560
<v Speaker 1>and then game on. At that point, it was twenty nine,

0:44:02.680 --> 0:44:06.200
<v Speaker 1>twenty four, and so I thought that sequence, the Julio

0:44:06.320 --> 0:44:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Jones dropped, the Lari Cooper catch where the Cowboys all

0:44:09.719 --> 0:44:12.440
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden are down there in scoring position, was

0:44:12.480 --> 0:44:14.719
<v Speaker 1>a huge sequence in this game. It was so you

0:44:14.760 --> 0:44:18.359
<v Speaker 1>didn't think Julio Jones hurt footsteps from Trayvon Diggs trying

0:44:18.360 --> 0:44:24.840
<v Speaker 1>to catch up from behind. Julio Jones was worried about

0:44:24.840 --> 0:44:28.600
<v Speaker 1>that hamstring. Even though his hands worked fine, right, that

0:44:28.680 --> 0:44:32.960
<v Speaker 1>hamstring was always on his mind and it effected totally

0:44:32.960 --> 0:44:35.360
<v Speaker 1>the way he played. He showed a lot of courage,

0:44:35.640 --> 0:44:38.359
<v Speaker 1>but he didn't have as much output as he wanted.

0:44:38.400 --> 0:44:41.080
<v Speaker 1>I'll put it that way, okay. And they finally we

0:44:41.120 --> 0:44:43.000
<v Speaker 1>got two minutes left here, or we don't have enough

0:44:43.040 --> 0:44:46.000
<v Speaker 1>time really to get into it. But the two point

0:44:46.040 --> 0:44:49.719
<v Speaker 1>conversion decision to go for it down nine and going

0:44:49.840 --> 0:44:52.839
<v Speaker 1>for two, I think you gotta kick it there, and

0:44:52.880 --> 0:44:59.240
<v Speaker 1>I know the analytics may say Gopher two. Then I said, yeah,

0:44:59.280 --> 0:45:01.839
<v Speaker 1>in my opinion, it's been always been a pet peeve

0:45:01.880 --> 0:45:05.000
<v Speaker 1>of mine. You're making a one score game at that point. Yeah,

0:45:05.000 --> 0:45:08.080
<v Speaker 1>And I said it was simple math. Yeah, he called

0:45:08.120 --> 0:45:11.960
<v Speaker 1>it simple Mathspath. I don't know that math. I don't

0:45:11.960 --> 0:45:15.200
<v Speaker 1>know that math. You know, I graduated too, so I

0:45:15.320 --> 0:45:18.200
<v Speaker 1>never saw math come up like that to where you

0:45:18.200 --> 0:45:20.839
<v Speaker 1>know we're gonna put ourselves in a deeper hole and

0:45:21.000 --> 0:45:23.759
<v Speaker 1>have to score twice as opposed to go ahead and

0:45:23.840 --> 0:45:28.080
<v Speaker 1>securing that score. You know that one extra point and

0:45:28.080 --> 0:45:31.040
<v Speaker 1>then go for eight, go for two if you get

0:45:31.040 --> 0:45:34.280
<v Speaker 1>in the opportunity to score again. It's pretty simple. Yeah,

0:45:34.320 --> 0:45:36.239
<v Speaker 1>that's simple math. I don't know what kind of math

0:45:36.280 --> 0:45:39.080
<v Speaker 1>he's talking about. And to me, you always want to

0:45:39.200 --> 0:45:44.439
<v Speaker 1>keep extending the game. Don't create a finality before it's

0:45:44.600 --> 0:45:48.240
<v Speaker 1>really over. And I think when you gamble like that early,

0:45:49.080 --> 0:45:51.720
<v Speaker 1>you're saying, I'm gonna have to recover an on site

0:45:51.800 --> 0:45:56.279
<v Speaker 1>kick to be able to win this game, right and

0:45:56.480 --> 0:45:58.919
<v Speaker 1>and and if you look at what happened last year

0:45:58.960 --> 0:46:01.400
<v Speaker 1>with the new rules on the on side kick, I

0:46:01.440 --> 0:46:04.880
<v Speaker 1>think only ten percent of the on side kicks were recovered,

0:46:05.080 --> 0:46:08.960
<v Speaker 1>where Previously it was closer to seventeen to twenty percent,

0:46:09.120 --> 0:46:14.760
<v Speaker 1>So uh my, exactly, my analytics on those percentages aren't

0:46:14.800 --> 0:46:18.239
<v Speaker 1>with you that if and I always look it at

0:46:18.280 --> 0:46:21.720
<v Speaker 1>it what happens if I fail? Because if I fail,

0:46:22.280 --> 0:46:25.359
<v Speaker 1>then then here's the circumstances. You don't look at it

0:46:25.400 --> 0:46:28.200
<v Speaker 1>as well, Yeah, I'm gonna get it. Well no, okay, fine,

0:46:28.239 --> 0:46:30.600
<v Speaker 1>if you get it, But what happens if you fail?

0:46:31.120 --> 0:46:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Have you ended the game and that nearly happened had

0:46:34.640 --> 0:46:38.399
<v Speaker 1>they not recovered that on side kick? And I got,

0:46:38.440 --> 0:46:40.080
<v Speaker 1>I got, we gotta go. But I got one more

0:46:40.120 --> 0:46:42.919
<v Speaker 1>point on that is when when you don't make it

0:46:42.960 --> 0:46:46.080
<v Speaker 1>and you're down nine, let's say the Falcons go down

0:46:46.320 --> 0:46:48.920
<v Speaker 1>and kick a field goal. Now they've got a twelve

0:46:48.960 --> 0:46:52.040
<v Speaker 1>point laid on you, meaning you have to score two touchdowns.

0:46:52.320 --> 0:46:56.960
<v Speaker 1>But if you were on the clock, but if you

0:46:57.080 --> 0:46:59.520
<v Speaker 1>kick it and they go down and kick a field goal,

0:46:59.600 --> 0:47:02.640
<v Speaker 1>now you're still in position to score a touchdown and

0:47:02.760 --> 0:47:04.800
<v Speaker 1>a field goal in the two point conversion to tying

0:47:04.800 --> 0:47:07.880
<v Speaker 1>force over time anyway, so you're gonna make sure that

0:47:08.040 --> 0:47:13.120
<v Speaker 1>next possession doesn't get a sack in it. Right there?

0:47:13.719 --> 0:47:17.840
<v Speaker 1>You go? All right, we continue with more mix shots tomorrow.

0:47:18.200 --> 0:47:21.359
<v Speaker 1>Have a great rest of your day, everybody. This has

0:47:21.360 --> 0:47:24.200
<v Speaker 1>been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the
