Hey, I had something on yesterday. 16 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: I had something on yesterday. Spags brought it to me. 17 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: I think it was out of his own personal closet 18 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 1: because it was a bit tight. Uh And and yesterday 19 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: it was a bit chilly in here, and you could 20 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: kind of see it. So I had to wear something 21 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: bigger because I was being exposed because it was too 22 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: cold to name. It was almost see through. That was 23 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: the bag that had your name on it, and you 24 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: must have put large on there. And I said, oh, 25 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: this is not gonna fit him. I should just keep it. 26 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: But I did the right thing, gave him the bag 27 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: to my teammate, even though it didn't. My wife filled 28 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: that out. She likes me in tight stuff. My wife 29 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: in tight stuff. Well, as we closed out yesterday's show, 30 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: I made the comment that maybe by one thirty on 31 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 1: Wednesday afternoon, we would know who would be starting at 32 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. I also say maybe we 33 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: would know who would be president. I think I agreed 34 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: with you on both of those things, and I had 35 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: a feeling it might be the quarterback, but were You're 36 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 1: not going to know at least until tomorrow, and maybe 37 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: not till maybe not until day, until Sunday afternoon. Maybe 38 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: maybe Hey, And as far as the presidency is concerned, 39 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: I just heard the purge horn outside, so I'm a 40 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: little nervous about what the heck is going on. Well, 41 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: we'll leave back to other talk shows, okay, and So 42 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: let's talk about the Cowboy quarterback quandary. Or is it 43 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,679 Speaker 1: a quandary or is it a quagmire that they are 44 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 1: in at quarterback? Well, it's a it's a decision they 45 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: have to make. And as I said, just taped something 46 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: in the ever changing world of the Dallas Cowboys. Now 47 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: they've got to decide. As Mike McCarthy said today, between 48 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: Cooper Rush and Garrett Gilbert as their starting quarterbacks, it 49 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: sounds like that they're gonna go with the guys that 50 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: have been in the league longer, but not necessarily have 51 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 1: the most snaps of experience in the NFL. And I 52 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: did myself, you guys a little research here, all right, 53 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: and uh and you've mentioned what the guys have done 54 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: passing the ball, how many games they've regular season? So 55 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: regular season. Cooper Rush, who the Cowboys signed last week, 56 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: cleared COVID protocol uh and then was eligible to practice 57 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: for the first time today. He'd been with the Cowboys 58 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: for three years twenty seventeen, eighteen nineteen, and went through 59 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: the virtual workout or if you call him workouts, the 60 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: virtual meetings uh. And he was released after the Cowboys 61 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: signed Andy Dalton. So the first week in May, he 62 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: was released. The Giants ended up picking him up. But 63 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: in three years with the Cowboys, Rush played appeared in 64 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 1: five games, but only through three passes completed one. But 65 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: I figured out he had twenty six snaps in all 66 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: his appearances, which means ever since he was basically mop 67 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: up duty at the end of the games. And then 68 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna give me a I thought 69 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna give me a passer rating on that. Now, No, no, no, not, 70 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: we stopped short of that. Uh. And then on Garrett Gilbert, 71 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: you know he's he spent. He's played six games in 72 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: the NFL, five with Cleveland, uh and uh. He had 73 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: a game appearance with Carolina. With Carolina he completed two 74 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: three passes for forty yards in thirteen snaps, and then 75 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: with Cleveland he ended up with eight more snaps. So 76 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: his NFL career is twenty one snaps total, while Denucci 77 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 1: in a game and a quarter in a little bit more, 78 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: ended up with ninety one snaps and completed twenty one 79 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: to forty four one eighty. So, but Mike said he 80 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: was going to go with the guys that had the 81 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: majority of the experience in the NFL, and he was 82 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: including time spent in preseason games. Uh, those guys have 83 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 1: been you know, since they've been in the league several years. 84 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: They were able to play in preseason games. So he said, 85 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: both of them are smart, and he would decide who 86 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: looked like they could manage the game the best. Cooper 87 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 1: Rush just got here. But he has familiarity with Kellen Moore, 88 00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: been around him Bill and actually you know, and even 89 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 1: in their last year and even with this new coaching staff, 90 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: at least through the virtual offseason, they would have been 91 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: about a month's time that he would have been taken 92 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: part in that. Yeah, And they basically kept it a 93 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 1: secret today because when the quarterbacks came in from what 94 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: they call quarterback school, they warm up on their own 95 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: away from the team. They had practice indoors today. I 96 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 1: guess Mike wanted to make sure that he kept it 97 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: a secret as long as possible. When the quarterback showed 98 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: up to join the team, that's when the media was released. 99 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: So expect that the rest of the week there if 100 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: you would also expect that tomorrow because that's the padded 101 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 1: practice and I think between today and the practice tomorrow 102 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: will determine who's the starter because they don't practice on Friday. 103 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: They do on Saturday, and I would imagine you want 104 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: your starting quarterback to work Saturday when there's no access 105 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: to the practice, by the way, and I will add 106 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: that to me, go ahead, go ahead. Ever since I 107 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: was gonna say Bill, thank you to me, this sounds like, 108 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. It sounds like McCarthy may have deferred 109 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: to Kellen Moore in this situation heavily, because when you 110 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: look at you know, of course, what Denuci did in 111 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: the game, it was fairly good. I mean, considering the 112 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: especially the play calls. He was up against the offensive 113 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: line decimated with injuries his first start, I have to 114 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: say that they I thought, except for those in the 115 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: rounds and untimely play calls, I thought we did a 116 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: good job as far as Denut was concerned. I think 117 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: Keller Moore feels more comfortable with Cooper Rush and Gary 118 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: Gilbert because he's had more time. He alone has had 119 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: more time with him. He feels comfortable with Cooper. Cooper's 120 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 1: been there since seventeen. Even though he was cut, he 121 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: still has a better relationship with Kellen Moore than de 122 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: Nucci does. And I guess Gary Gilbert has some type 123 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: of relationship as well. I'm kind of surprised at this move. Guys, 124 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: I don't know about you. I get it you want 125 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: to go with guys who are may be old or 126 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: have more experience, but what kind of experience preseason experience. 127 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: You know, you got one guy with one one completion, 128 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: nothing with two. Denucci has twenty one. Like I said, decent, 129 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,319 Speaker 1: decent performance. I think this is all Kellen Moore and 130 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: his comfort zone more than it is McCarthy's. I think 131 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: that that McCarthy is not out on Ben de Nucci. 132 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: I think that McCarthy just believes Denucci isn't ready for 133 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: it yet and and so I think that's why he 134 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: wants to go with someone who's at least been in 135 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: the league longer, even if they haven't had more snaps 136 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: technically than Denucci. And I think one of the things 137 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: that McCarthy is very concerned about his ball security, as 138 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: he should be, and when Denucci cops it up a 139 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: couple of times, when he says, it's one thing taking 140 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: a sack when you're not expecting, it's another thing coughing 141 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: the football up, and that has been I mean, I 142 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: think I get the feeling McCarthy's at a breaking point 143 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: on that as far as he's never been around a 144 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: team that has not held on to the football like 145 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: like this one has. And so I think he saw 146 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: enough of Denucci from that standpoint. Just if he's going 147 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: to get sacked against a team, and you know he 148 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 1: is against a team like Pittsburgh, I just he just 149 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: doesn't have confidence that'll be able to hold on to 150 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,839 Speaker 1: the football. I think that factor in. Let's see, there 151 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: was two fumbles this pass game, and then when he 152 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 1: came in for that quetry and a half, there was 153 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: a was it two more yep or at least one 154 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: three sacks and may have lost the ball on a 155 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: couple of my camera so I think. And then the 156 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: other thing McCarthy pointed out that his concern was was 157 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: basically managing the cadence on the line of scrimmage, and 158 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: they had a couple uh off off scheduled snaps. I 159 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: think there was one that everybody moved except Beardish and 160 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 1: it sounded like he was putting that on the quarterback. 161 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: So they had a couple uh snap management problems that 162 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: he kind of put on the quarterback. I think, so, 163 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: uh yeah, We'll see how it works out. But all 164 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: I know is my man Dunuch got ninety one snaps 165 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: in the National Football League, and that's more than these 166 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: two guys combined in games that actually counted souvenir preseason games. 167 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: Probably didn't get that many in preseason either, right, unless 168 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,719 Speaker 1: unless they got ahold. You remember Cooper Rush though in 169 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: a preseason Yeah, and in fact, and I don't have 170 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: his preseason stats at handy, but it was it his 171 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 1: second year in the preseason. He really showed some promise 172 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: in preseason games, and you know, it was kind of 173 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: how he won the job. Yeah, he was competing with 174 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: Kellen Moore. Yeah, for a backup quarterback position. And in fact, 175 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: I looked up I memory didn't serve me, right, although 176 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: I broadcast these games, I was the only one page 177 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: attention because I was broadcasting you, um, let's say, against 178 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: the Raiders in the preseason. At one point he was 179 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: twelve out a thirteen four, one hundred and fifteen yards 180 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 1: and two touchdowns in a comeback win over the Raiders. 181 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: Had a total of thirty eight completions in fifty one 182 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: attempts for three hundred ninety eight yards and six touchdowns 183 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: with no interceptions in the preseason that year. So I 184 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: mean that's yeah, that was that was a tough Raider. 185 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: That was a tough Raiders second half team in the preseason. Yeah. Yeah. 186 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: You compare those guys to this the Steelers. Traine of 187 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,559 Speaker 1: Hell coming in here from the Pittsburgh Steelers, and we'll 188 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 1: compare and see how that goes. Yeah, but even from 189 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: a physical maturity standpoint, you know, you can just look 190 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: could have been to Nucci and see he's a twenty 191 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: three year old rookie who hasn't filled out really, you know, 192 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: he as compared to a twenty six or twenty seven 193 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 1: year old like Rush would be, or Garrett Gilbert's in 194 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 1: his late twenties. Now, shoot he's he may be thirty 195 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: years old now and so and just the fact you're 196 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: being around the league and being in quarterback rooms for 197 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: a little while, I think gives him a little bit 198 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 1: of an advantage. As I said after last week's see, 199 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: I thought I agree with you, Everson. I actually thought 200 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 1: Denucci played great considering the fact that he had he 201 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: was a seventh round draft pick out of James Madison 202 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: who had no practices in the off season. On the field, 203 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: and he had virtually no practices himself during training camp 204 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: because they were trying to get the first team ready. 205 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: They were worried about the third team and no preseason games. 206 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: And he literally had three practices last week with the 207 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: first team. And so considering all that I thought he did, 208 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,959 Speaker 1: he had a tremendous job in the game. But now, 209 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: and see to me, if you start going back to 210 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 1: you know, Garrett Gilbert, like you say, it's almost thirty 211 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:16,199 Speaker 1: years old. He's had two completions Cooper, you know, twenty six, 212 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,359 Speaker 1: twenty seven, one completion. Yes, you're playing behind Dak Prescott. 213 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: And and I think maybe Romo. I'm not sure if 214 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: he was there with Romo, but I think, you know, 215 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: I wanted to go with a guy that's already been there. 216 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: You know, he's already dipped his toe in the water. 217 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 1: As Bill Passels always said, he always dipped it. He's 218 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: already dipped his toe in the water. I say, the 219 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: momentum that he built, you know, even though made some mistakes, 220 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,079 Speaker 1: we lost the game, I get it, but the momentum 221 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: from a personal level that he had attained, I thought 222 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: we could build on that. I kind of think, you know, 223 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: I don't want to say we're taking a step back, 224 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: but it's definitely at best a lateral step when we're 225 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 1: talking about going forward. In regards to the quarterback, and 226 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 1: having said what I just said about Denuccia, I thought 227 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,199 Speaker 1: he played great considering the fact he only had three 228 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 1: NFL practices under his belt, I would myself, I would 229 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: go with either Cooper Rush or Garrett Gilbert this week 230 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: because I think he might get killed this week. Well 231 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: let's just lets you don't want the young man to 232 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: get hurt. Yeah, that's right. Let's just fill that out there. 233 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: Because Pittsburgh comes in as the fifth ranked offense and 234 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: I mean defense, excuse me, and they've got a front 235 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: of t J. Watt, Stephan to It and Bud Dupree. 236 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: Those three guys have eighteen and a half sacks among them, 237 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: And just put that in perspective with the Cowboys as 238 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: a team, the Cowboys have seventeen. Those three guys got 239 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: eighteen and a half sacks. So yeah, they're gonna be 240 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: coming after and I believe they're ranked first in sacks 241 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh is they got thirty? I think yeah, so, and 242 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: that's not even including a guy like Cameron Hayward, who's 243 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: a three time Pro bowler on their defensive line too, 244 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: doesn't have that many sacks. But I mean it's it's 245 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: a veteran. Did he get hurt? Did he get hurt 246 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: last week? We get hurt last Hayward? He played seventy 247 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: five snaps last week. I haven't heard seeing their injury 248 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: reporter or anything. I thought I saw him laid out. 249 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: I thought I saw him laid out in the game. 250 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: I could be wrong, all right, So it's a tall assignment. 251 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: No matter who is playing quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys 252 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: this week is true. So here's so here here may 253 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: be the bottom line on all this um In Mike 254 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: McCarthy or Mike McCarthy Mike Tomlin's conference call, I think 255 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: someone asked him something to the effect, so, when you 256 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: don't know who's going to be the starting quarterback for 257 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, how how well can you prepare? And Tomlin said, 258 00:15:54,680 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: I'm preparing to stop Ezekiel Elliot. So I think I 259 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: think that tells you where his priority is and maybe 260 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: where the Cowboys priority needs to be. I think he 261 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: and let's face it, Kellen Moore through he went deep 262 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: into that playbook against Philadelphia last week with the and 263 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: a lot of that going deep in the playbook was 264 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: wildcat stuff with Zeke running the football. But I also 265 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: think that Tomlin probably looks at that third quarter drive 266 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: when the Cowboys had seven carries for forty two yards 267 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: with Zeke and Tony Pollard running behind Zack Martin, and 268 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: he thinks that they're gonna see a lot of that 269 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: on Sunday. Yes they will. And the other thing. The 270 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: other thing I want to point out though, on Cooper Rush. 271 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:45,359 Speaker 1: All right, Mickey, why was Cooper Rush cut because they 272 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: signed Andy Dalton? That's right now, But if Cooper already drafted, 273 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: they figured he was the young guy that they were 274 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: going to groom and if they were going to have 275 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: a backup quarterback, and they spent the money on Dalton, 276 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: that Rushed going into what this would have been his 277 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: fourth restricted free agent money. He was over two million 278 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: dollars salary, And so that was Had Cooper Rush been 279 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,239 Speaker 1: a first year, first or second year guy and they 280 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 1: had him into New Cheat, they would have kept both 281 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: of them here. But it was because Rush is contract. 282 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: He was he was due to make two point two 283 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 1: million or whatever it was. And so once they signed. 284 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,239 Speaker 1: It was a wash basically, and then he got the 285 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: experience of Dalton coming in at three million dollars base 286 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: and you're you're just you cut Cooper Rush. Obviously, he 287 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 1: got picked up immediately by the Giants, and he was 288 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,640 Speaker 1: picked up on waivers and uh. And the other thing 289 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: I think that's interesting on Cooper Rush is that he 290 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: was let go by the Giants. Okay, he went through 291 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: training camp, was signed to the Giants practice squad when 292 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: they set the roster, and then he was let go 293 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: on September twenty nine. So he was out there on 294 00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: the street at the time that Dak got injured. And 295 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: so I'm surprised that the Cowboys didn't just sign him 296 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,239 Speaker 1: off the street then to their practice squad, you know, 297 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: when Dak got hurt. And in fact, they could have 298 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 1: signed him and Garrett Gilbert if they wanted to well, 299 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 1: and they had um oh, I'm gonna blank out Clayton. 300 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 1: They ended up keeping him as right the fourth guy 301 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 1: right in the off season. But I'm saying, but I'm saying, 302 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: once Dad got hurt in early October, why don't you 303 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: sign Cooper Rush at that point? Because he had been 304 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: he was he was not even on the Giants practice 305 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: squad at that point. So anyway, and he would have 306 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,640 Speaker 1: been here at least a week earlier. Uh So there 307 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: we are at The difference is not the difference. The 308 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 1: difference is not between what they are physically in regards 309 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,879 Speaker 1: to to why they kept them, or even experience or ability. 310 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: It was all about the set the salary cap. Correct, 311 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 1: Is that what you're saying as far as letting him 312 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: go in in early May. Yeah, as far as as 313 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: far as as far as making a decision between Denucci 314 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 1: and Cooper Rush, I'm talking about signing, I'm talking about drafting, 315 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 1: I'm talking about even what involved as the season went on, 316 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: because physically, there's not much of a difference between them, right, 317 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 1: Because so the decision that they were making when they 318 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 1: let Cooper Rush go was not comparing him with Ben Denucci, 319 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: because Denucci was a developmental guy. Rush is already in 320 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: going into his fourth year in the league, and so 321 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: he is in a different salary scale, and so they 322 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 1: were comparing Andy Dalton to Cooper Rush and so for 323 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 1: basically two to three million dollars as a backup to 324 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,199 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, Well, heck, yeah, we're gonna take Andy Dalton 325 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 1: and his experience over Cooper Rush, who hadn't done anything 326 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 1: in the lake. All right, So we're just getting started 327 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: on this edition of Mixed Shots.

And one 366 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: thing I wanted to point out before we moved totally 367 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 1: on from the game the other day. Although Mickey, you 368 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: got something else you want to spot out about Rush, 369 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: just give you an idea. Everson his rookie year with 370 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: the Cowboys in twenty seventeen. In preseason games, okay, Cooper 371 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: Rush preseason games, he appeared in four games. The the 372 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: Houston game got canceled. Was that the cane right? Yeah? 373 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: So they actually played Arizona the start in the Hall 374 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 1: of Fame game. So in the first game he was 375 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 1: nine of eighteen one hundred and eighty two yards, a touchdown, 376 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: and an interception. The next game nine of eleven for 377 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 1: one hundred and four yards and a touchdown, the next 378 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,199 Speaker 1: game eight of nine ninety two yards, two touchdown, and 379 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 1: then the final game in preseason he was twelve or thirteen, 380 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 1: two touchdowns and one hundred and fifteen yards. So that's 381 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 1: what made the impression on Jason Garrett at that time. 382 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: He was awfully, awfully accurate and made the impression on 383 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: us guys too. Watching the preseason, it's like, oh boy, 384 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,640 Speaker 1: this guy's this guy's not all that bad, and so 385 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 1: they decided that, you know, he would he would be 386 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 1: on the team that year. I'll continue to look at 387 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen, but he's got that much 388 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 1: experience in preseason games that Denucci doesn't. Now do you 389 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,199 Speaker 1: know why? And once again, I'm with you on that, 390 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: and and I'm not trying to start any type of 391 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 1: back and forth here, but but the obvious is, you know, 392 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 1: you're looking at preseason games where he played the entire game. Obviously, 393 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: those games are usually gonna be either in the second 394 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 1: half of a game, or you know, if you're playing 395 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: the entire games and it's going to be one of 396 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: the last preseason games where you've got a lot of 397 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 1: guys on the field who are not starters. Pretty much 398 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: looking at guys just on his level at that time. 399 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 1: So as you go forward, we're looking at what we're 400 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 1: facing here. I'm wondering if Cooper rush first NFL start, 401 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: would that be any difference from de Nucci's first NFL 402 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: start last week? First of all, you gotta I think 403 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: a stronger opponent defensively, and so that's something that you're 404 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: gonna have to get accustomed to. Not only the fact 405 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: that not just that, but the fact that it's his 406 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: first game ever as a starter. That gives me great pause. 407 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: And I don't know if that's going to be an 408 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: improvement on what we've already seen from de Nucci in 409 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: last week's game. That's my only thing, and I agree 410 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,160 Speaker 1: on thing, agree with you on that, but remember who 411 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 1: he had on his side of the ball too at 412 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: that time with the game true, but yeah, that's trying 413 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: to make the team as well. I guess, okay. And 414 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,919 Speaker 1: one other note on Cooper Rush. Do you know who? Okay? 415 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: I said that he was with the Giants on their 416 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 1: practice squad until September twenty ninth. Do you know who 417 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: the Giants signed as their practice squad quarterback on September 418 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: thirty over Cooper Rush. I do not. Clayton Thorson. No, 419 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 1: they did not, so Jason Garrett. Of course, Clayton Thorson 420 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: was here. So Jason Garrett, after having Cooper Rush on 421 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: this practice squad for a month, he opted to go 422 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: with Thorson. Now we don't know for sure, you know, 423 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: he could be also, it could have been and he's trolling. 424 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,959 Speaker 1: He's trolling out roster. That's what he's doing. You know what. 425 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: The other thing, Cooper Rush might have had some deal 426 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,439 Speaker 1: with the giants that said, hey, yeah, i'll sign you 427 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: with you with you on your practice squad for a month, 428 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: but then if I'm if I'm not making any progress 429 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,679 Speaker 1: a month into this, will you release me? And they 430 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 1: may have just released him for that reason. He was 431 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: banking on himself that he could catch on someplace and 432 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: not get lost on somebody's practice squad where teams don't 433 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 1: realize that he's even uh, you know what he's doing, 434 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 1: or he could go work work out for teams or whatever. 435 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: Here all right, now, let's move on to Garrett Gilbert. Here, 436 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: Garrett Gilbert for those who are not familiar with him, 437 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 1: and there's a connection that Mike McCarthy with Garrett Gilbert. Okay, 438 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: do you know where Garrett Gilbert went to high school? Everson, 439 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,400 Speaker 1: It had to be in Texas, at Texas Lake Travis 440 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,120 Speaker 1: High School. In fact, Garrett Gilbert, I mean his high 441 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: school career at Lake Travis. It was. You can put 442 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: that up against virtually anybody this side of Kyler Murray, 443 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: and he's right up there as far as being the 444 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 1: Gatorade National Player, every five star quarterback. And don't forget 445 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: his freshman year at Texas, Everson. Don't forget his freshman 446 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 1: year at the University of Texas. He played in the 447 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: national championship game against Alabama as Colpe McCoy got hurt 448 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: in that game. And it was Garrett Gilbert, of freshman 449 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 1: out of Lake Travis who came into that game against Alabama. 450 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 1: So that was two thousand and nine and Alabama one. Yeah, 451 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: there's a lot of long horns out there that will 452 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 1: tell you, mister Walls, there's a lot of long horns 453 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,640 Speaker 1: that will tell you that if Colpe McCoy hadn't got 454 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 1: hurt in that game, it would have been a different story. 455 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 1: But instead it was Greg mceloy and Alabama that won 456 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: over Garrett Gilbert and Texas in that game. But the 457 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 1: point being, Gilbert was a five star guy coming out 458 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 1: of Lake Travis. And here's the point as it relates 459 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:04,360 Speaker 1: today to the Cowboys. Mike McCarthy's daughter graduated from Lake 460 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 1: Travis High School. I believe she was a year We're 461 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 1: gonna win, so there. That's it. We're gonna win. That 462 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: means we're gonna win. There's Yeah. It's funny because when 463 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: I asked, we taped the McCarthy Show last night, and 464 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,680 Speaker 1: so I s asked, him, Uh, you know, he told 465 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: me that we were gonna go with the Gilbert and 466 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: Rush during practice this week, and so I say, okay, 467 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: well tell me about both of them. And he talked 468 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: about Gilbert first. Okay, so there you go. Maybe that's 469 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: a tip off. I don't think it is. Maybe it 470 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: was because I I worded it that way. Tell me 471 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: about Garrett Gilbert and Cooper Rush. And the first thing 472 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: he said was, well, he went to Lake Travis High School. 473 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: So there you go, little insider information. Yeah, So any 474 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: I wouldn't I wouldn't be surprised if they go with 475 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 1: Gilbert over Rush. I wouldn't. I wouldn't be so pc 476 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: if I go there, I wouldn't. Yeah, And he's been 477 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: here longer, been here, you know how many weeks? He 478 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: probably has been here in three weeks at October. I 479 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: can tell I might even have it right here. Um 480 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I can't. I can't wait till. I 481 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 1: can't wait till next week when you bring up another 482 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: underachieving Texas high school quarterback that made it in the NFL, 483 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: that would you like about Gilbert. Gilbert was on the 484 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: practice squad with the Rams in twenty fourteen. Then he 485 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: moved on to the Patriots practice squad in fourteen and fifteen. 486 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: He was on the Lions practice squad in fifteen. He 487 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: was on the Raiders practice squad in fifteen and sixteen, 488 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: and then he was on the regular roster with the 489 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers in seventeen and eighteen. He was with the 490 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 1: Orlando Apollos in twenty nineteen, and then this year he 491 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: was back and forth between the regular roster and the 492 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: practice squad with the Browns before the Cowboys signed him 493 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 1: off their practice watch. He's got a lot of practice 494 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: in order to make his debut. He was signed October 495 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 1: sounds like the new offensive coordinator in the making, that 496 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: ave coordinator in the making. October thirteenth. He's been here 497 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: three October thirteenth, three weeks so, and one of those 498 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 1: weeks he had to go through COVID, so he did 499 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: October nineteenth. So October nineteenth probably he finally got on 500 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: the practice field. Yeah, all right, it's the top of 501 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: the hour. I could definitely see him. I could definitely 502 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: see him as an offensive coordinator in the future. Okay, yeah, 503 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: you're saying that, I might as well have just read 504 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: Kellen Moore's resume to you, is that what you're saying? 505 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: That's right? All right? Just go prop yourself up behind 506 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: the great starting quarterback and hold you hold the paper 507 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: for the rest of your career. We know where you 508 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: headed straight up to the oct And I doubt McCarthy 509 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: actually ever watched Garrett Gilbert play a high school football 510 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 1: game live and in person because he was coaching the 511 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers, unless it was maybe on a bye 512 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: week or something for the Packers. But he might know 513 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: his dad, Gail Gilbert, who of course played in the NFL. 514 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 1: When he made his trips down to Lake Travis, probably 515 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: played golf with g Because I knew I was going 516 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 1: to make that mistake, I had to make a reference 517 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 1: to him on one of the things we were taping, 518 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: and I did say, Gail Gilbert and okay, here's another 519 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: thing as we go to break that may will this 520 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 1: sell you ever soon? On Garrett Gilbert. He came to 521 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: this is on his Wikipedia page. He came to prominence 522 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: as the starting quarterback of the Orlando Apollos of the 523 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: Alliance of American Football last year, where he led the 524 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 1: league in yards and passer raiding and helped his team 525 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 1: obtain a league best seven and one record and a 526 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 1: playoff berth. And then the league was league suspended operations. 527 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: I didn't have the numbers, but I did point that 528 00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: out on Monday. All right, okay, we could in you 529 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 1: with more mix shots, and I've got a proposal of 530 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 1: a rule change that needs to be made in the 531 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: National Football League after what I saw on that fumble 532 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 1: return for a touchdown that won the game for the 533 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 1: Eagles over the Cowboys on Sunday night.

That's exactly right, all right. M the 577 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:13,360 Speaker 1: Cowboys Eagles game, the the fumble return for a touchdown 578 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 1: that basically clinched the game for the Eagles. Yes, all right, 579 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: you got a problem with it. I've got a problem, 580 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 1: and I had a problem at the time, and I 581 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 1: think everybody had a problem at the time. The head 582 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,839 Speaker 1: coach had a problem with it after he saw it. Boy, 583 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 1: I'm not at liberty to say exactly what the head 584 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,279 Speaker 1: coach said about it, and so I will not talk 585 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,440 Speaker 1: about what the head coach might want to say about it, 586 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 1: but I will say what I will say about it. 587 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 1: And obviously there was the off sides to begin with, yes, 588 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 1: all right, that would not be reviewable, although maybe it 589 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 1: should be reviewable, okay, and on a play like that 590 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 1: and an obvious off sides, But anyway, that's why that 591 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,400 Speaker 1: sky judge is supposed to be over there. That's beside 592 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,799 Speaker 1: the point, all right. As we all saw, there was 593 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:57,960 Speaker 1: a scrum in the middle of the field, and it 594 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 1: appeared that Vinny Curry had the football and it got 595 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 1: ripped out, and it appeared on replay that perhaps he 596 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,080 Speaker 1: had it long enough to be down by contact and 597 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,479 Speaker 1: the Eagles would have taken over at that point because 598 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 1: it was a fourth down play, right right, Okay, And 599 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,760 Speaker 1: I still remember the play started at the Cowboys twenty 600 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 1: six maybe something like that. Okay, that's all. That's all 601 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 1: beside the point, Okay, that's but okay, there's about three 602 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 1: minutes left in the game, all right. Roddy McLeod picks 603 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 1: it up goes for a touchdown. We're all thinking and 604 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,319 Speaker 1: the NBC commentators Al Michaels and Chris Collins weren't their 605 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,720 Speaker 1: review and it's and we're and then all of a sudden, 606 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,799 Speaker 1: we come out of all the as we're watching on television, 607 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,920 Speaker 1: We're come out of all those replays, and they're running 608 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 1: the two point conversion. And so I'm sitting there going, 609 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 1: what did they review it or not? Okay? Apparently they 610 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 1: were all out to lunch on it. They had no 611 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:55,319 Speaker 1: idea that it was even going okay apparently, I mean 612 00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:59,840 Speaker 1: obviously whether in the booth upstairs. Maybe they don't have 613 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,799 Speaker 1: the all the they don't have all the replays that 614 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 1: we see at home on TV. Maybe they should. They 615 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:10,320 Speaker 1: get supplied about five angles supposed to have them anyway, regardless, 616 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:15,240 Speaker 1: they're supposed to have more than we're Apparently they didn't 617 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 1: look at it as closely as what the NBC crew did, 618 00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 1: because we got a much better look at it, and 619 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,879 Speaker 1: it took it was going to take longer than what 620 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 1: they reviewed it for all scoring plays are reviewed, right, Well, 621 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:32,400 Speaker 1: here's my proposal. I think that you ought to be 622 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:36,759 Speaker 1: able to challenge all scoring plays because in that situation 623 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,239 Speaker 1: because McCarthy could not challenge the play because it's a 624 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 1: scoring play, right, Okay, it's penalty, isn't it used to 625 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,359 Speaker 1: be a penalty. It is delay a game penalty, all right. 626 00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:52,879 Speaker 1: So the rule needs to be that you can challenge 627 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:56,640 Speaker 1: a scoring play because there may be something that your 628 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 1: people up in the booth, what you see on the 629 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 1: big screen in the stadium, maybe something that you wanted 630 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 1: an aspect of the play that you want to challenge, 631 00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:09,719 Speaker 1: especially a more complicated play like that that they may 632 00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,840 Speaker 1: not see and may not even be aware of to 633 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 1: look at. And so that way you can stop it. 634 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,400 Speaker 1: You can challenge it. You run the risk of losing 635 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 1: the time out and losing whatever, you know, if if 636 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,719 Speaker 1: it's no good you know, if you if you fail 637 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 1: on the challenge. But at least they take a look 638 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,879 Speaker 1: at it, because that was a game changing play. That 639 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 1: guy had reservations at PA. That's what it felt for 640 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:37,240 Speaker 1: a people after the game. I mean even the NBC 641 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 1: crew after the fact. Oh and runner the two point play, 642 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 1: they dropped it. There wouldn't even anything talk about it 643 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,480 Speaker 1: after that. And I think I told you guys what 644 00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:49,200 Speaker 1: I did. I remember writing down sack fumble, and then 645 00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,839 Speaker 1: I saw the play going down the field. You didn't 646 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,279 Speaker 1: even write down touchdown. I did not. I say that, well, 647 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,959 Speaker 1: this was coming back. He obviously was down. That ball 648 00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,560 Speaker 1: was down there on the ground for all that time. 649 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,480 Speaker 1: There's no way he wasn't down by contact. Then all 650 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,000 Speaker 1: of a sudden, I look up and they're showing the 651 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:08,840 Speaker 1: replays and it's like, yeah, he's down, So I'm writing, yeah, down, 652 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,440 Speaker 1: you know, next down. And then I look up and 653 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 1: they're lined up for a two point conversion. Fast. But 654 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,440 Speaker 1: if you allow a team to challenge a either a 655 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,399 Speaker 1: scoring play or a change of possession, which obviously are 656 00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,799 Speaker 1: huge plays, they ought to be able to challenge it 657 00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,839 Speaker 1: because there could be a certain aspect of the play 658 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,879 Speaker 1: that the officials or the replay booth aren't even aware of. Well, 659 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,440 Speaker 1: you don't even get it. That didn't even delay long 660 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,799 Speaker 1: enough for them to look at it. In New York, right, 661 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:39,440 Speaker 1: what they're supposed to do. Right, everything's reviewed. And I 662 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,960 Speaker 1: think if the if the head referee had got his 663 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,880 Speaker 1: little tablet out there, and even if it's this big, 664 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 1: he could see what happened that Vinny Curry had the ball. 665 00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 1: He was laying his on it right on his chest, 666 00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,839 Speaker 1: and even and even if they decided there wasn't enough 667 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,719 Speaker 1: evidence to overturn it, and fine if that if, but 668 00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,759 Speaker 1: at least look at it, and that way, if you 669 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 1: know that you got a fair shake on it they did, 670 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,759 Speaker 1: at least look at it if you can challenge it. 671 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 1: So I'm taking that to the competition committee. Uh in 672 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:14,480 Speaker 1: the offseason, right, I'll go with you, bell like that. 673 00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:20,719 Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, here's the thing, guys. I mean, it's 674 00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:24,080 Speaker 1: nationwide TV, right, This is not like it's some regional games. 675 00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:32,399 Speaker 1: This is the only game that's when that's but that's 676 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:36,160 Speaker 1: when the NFL is supposed to show just how competent 677 00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:39,040 Speaker 1: they are. Just like it's prime time for the teams, 678 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,399 Speaker 1: it's also prime time for the NFL itself. So these 679 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,160 Speaker 1: are guys that are paid by the NFL to show 680 00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:49,799 Speaker 1: just how we've got this entire game under wraps. There 681 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 1: won't be any controversies. This is why we're prime time crew. 682 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,479 Speaker 1: So that prime time crew has to be on point. Hell, 683 00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 1: a host, referee, whoever the guy is on TV, he's 684 00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,640 Speaker 1: dressed up in his soup. He's part of the crew, 685 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,799 Speaker 1: and all they ask him, what's going on and he 686 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,160 Speaker 1: as he's explaining it, I think they were lining up 687 00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:14,400 Speaker 1: for the conversion, so it caught. It caught everybody off guard, 688 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,880 Speaker 1: which should not happen if you're on the field reviewed 689 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:21,759 Speaker 1: the scoring play. No one's in a hurry. Okay, the 690 00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,919 Speaker 1: game is still good, so let's just do the right thing. 691 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,520 Speaker 1: I thought, that's the most amazing thing I've ever seen, 692 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:33,120 Speaker 1: and very frustrating because and I know when on his whiners, 693 00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:37,800 Speaker 1: but this crap only seems to happen to cowboys. Okay, 694 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,400 Speaker 1: it just only seems to happen to the Cowboy players, 695 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,600 Speaker 1: therefore the fans. So that's just another beef we can 696 00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,759 Speaker 1: strike up to me, all right, not that not that 697 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,840 Speaker 1: the Cowboys will have the need to punt against the 698 00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,560 Speaker 1: Steelers on Sunday, but that we haven't going to turn 699 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:59,400 Speaker 1: the ball over. We're talking optimism here. I'll go ahead 700 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:04,840 Speaker 1: Bill for MEAs he was being very facetious too. Should 701 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:08,040 Speaker 1: the putter make his way onto the field on Sunday, Yeah, 702 00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,960 Speaker 1: against the Steelers, who might that punter be? Punter will 703 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:17,759 Speaker 1: be Hunter Niswander Hunter, the punter Hunter Hunter, who, by 704 00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,640 Speaker 1: the way I found out, not only can punt, but 705 00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,840 Speaker 1: he also can kick off and he can kick field goals. 706 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:27,480 Speaker 1: Can he hold? Uh? That's what I think was the 707 00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,480 Speaker 1: last straw that he had to prove he could do that. 708 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,960 Speaker 1: That's why they worked out indoors today and they kicked 709 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:38,960 Speaker 1: the media out and had practice indoors. Yeah, they didn't 710 00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 1: want you to see that whether he can hold or not, well, 711 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,400 Speaker 1: he better be able to unless one of these quarterbacks 712 00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:50,279 Speaker 1: is capable. Because Chris Jones is gonna have surgery on 713 00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:55,719 Speaker 1: Thursday to repair a torn core muscle which was bothering 714 00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:59,000 Speaker 1: him last year. And I was told that he he 715 00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,520 Speaker 1: just was at meant that he can do this. He 716 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,880 Speaker 1: wanted to punt through it. He didn't want to have surgery, 717 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,239 Speaker 1: and I think he tried to rehab it during the 718 00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:11,000 Speaker 1: whole off season and it flared. It was evident. It 719 00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:14,200 Speaker 1: was I thought, it's been evident all season. Oh yeah, absolutely, 720 00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,399 Speaker 1: he been starting with the Rams game exactly. I thought. 721 00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,040 Speaker 1: I was like, it was not you know what, you 722 00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,760 Speaker 1: know what I thought. I thought it was some strategy 723 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,600 Speaker 1: that that Fossil had that like, okay, shorts, punch short. 724 00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:31,120 Speaker 1: Maybe he's apparently I haven't followed Fossil. He's got this 725 00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,360 Speaker 1: this great reputation as a special teams coach. Oh no, 726 00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,160 Speaker 1: I see he punts it real high in the air. 727 00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:40,359 Speaker 1: He goes that way. They don't have return no returns, right, 728 00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,360 Speaker 1: so we don't have to cover and make a tackle 729 00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,600 Speaker 1: because we didn't get a lot of practice at that. 730 00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 1: But yeah, I like Fossil. I love Fossil. I love 731 00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:51,719 Speaker 1: the way he's not throwing in the town. You talk 732 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,400 Speaker 1: about going deep into the playbook, right, he's doing just 733 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,960 Speaker 1: like Cooper Us. He's going deep into it. I love it. 734 00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,720 Speaker 1: So he's gonna have surgery on Thursdays, so I would 735 00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:03,680 Speaker 1: have imagine. I mean, that's sort of what Sean Lee 736 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,720 Speaker 1: had and he was out five five weeks at least. 737 00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:11,320 Speaker 1: So who could be the season? Right? I think we're 738 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:15,360 Speaker 1: probably done. You better. You're gonna hang your hat on, Niswander. 739 00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,000 Speaker 1: Is that how you say? Did I say it right? 740 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:19,759 Speaker 1: I don't have no idea, but we're gonna go with 741 00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:24,000 Speaker 1: for now until we hear differently from Jim Nanson Tony 742 00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:28,319 Speaker 1: Romo on the Game on Sunday Afternoon on CBS, it's 743 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:32,680 Speaker 1: Hunter Niswander, who was signed to the practice squad in 744 00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,640 Speaker 1: October twenty sixth, that he is your new punter for 745 00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,960 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys and maybe the new holder Chris Jones. 746 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:45,040 Speaker 1: Chris Jones and underrated consistent player on this team. He 747 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,520 Speaker 1: will be miss trust me well. And the pronunciation guy 748 00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,040 Speaker 1: doesn't even have his name listed because he wasn't on 749 00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,680 Speaker 1: the fifty three man roster to stuff. And how about 750 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:55,960 Speaker 1: what Chris Jones has done in his career. I mean 751 00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,160 Speaker 1: when you consider the fact that he was a college 752 00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,080 Speaker 1: free agent in twenty eleven, yeah and so, and he's 753 00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 1: had a really good career year and this this injury 754 00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:06,960 Speaker 1: bothered him last year and you could tell it was 755 00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,760 Speaker 1: bothering him this year. And you know, and I was thinking, 756 00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:11,720 Speaker 1: I think I said it yesterday when we were talking 757 00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:15,560 Speaker 1: about it, when they decided to take the safety, I 758 00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:19,200 Speaker 1: was thinking, well, if he punted from five yards deep 759 00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:20,560 Speaker 1: in the end zone, they're going to get the ball 760 00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,719 Speaker 1: at the thirty five yard line, So maybe just we 761 00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,520 Speaker 1: better off doing this and kick it further and we 762 00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:28,759 Speaker 1: give up too, but we don't give up seven. But 763 00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:32,759 Speaker 1: more importantly, you had an opportunity to kick, yes, And 764 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,480 Speaker 1: I understood that, but that's when first went through my mind. 765 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,480 Speaker 1: It was like, because he's struggling kicking the ball, and 766 00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:42,399 Speaker 1: I didn't know which way the wind was going, So yeah, 767 00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,040 Speaker 1: I was thinking, okay, that makes sense because I didn't 768 00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:48,319 Speaker 1: think LP snapped the ball that poorly. That looked like 769 00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:52,279 Speaker 1: that looked like that hike against the snap against the 770 00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,640 Speaker 1: rams that Tony Romo had to run back what thirty 771 00:45:55,719 --> 00:46:02,839 Speaker 1: yards to pick it up? Oh? Wow? Yeah, and now 772 00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,439 Speaker 1: and then he ran forty yards back the other way 773 00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:08,520 Speaker 1: to get the first down. Yeah. Oh, one of the 774 00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,960 Speaker 1: great moments in Cowboys history. All right, that does it 775 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,239 Speaker 1: for this edition of Mixed Shots. Anyone to have a 776 00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:20,000 Speaker 1: parting shot. We don't know the Cowboys quarterback, and we 777 00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:23,719 Speaker 1: don't know who the new president of the United States is, 778 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:27,239 Speaker 1: and so maybe by one thirty tomorrow afternoon. All right, 779 00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,960 Speaker 1: that does it. Ever since, enjoy your the rest of 780 00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,560 Speaker 1: your Wednesday. We'll see you tomorrow. We'll see all of 781 00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:36,800 Speaker 1: you tomorrow at one thirty. This has been a production 782 00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:40,680 Speaker 1: of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
