And there's a 23 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,559 Speaker 3: we could start any number of places. But even around 24 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 3: the league, it wasn't just the Cowboys. There are other 25 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 3: organizations that was not It's not a it's a very 26 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:40,759 Speaker 3: blue Monday. 27 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 4: Many so many, Green Bay and Cinnati. Well it's been, 28 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 4: it's been over but now it's mathematically. 29 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's not mathematically over here yet. 30 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 5: I hate that. I hate that, man, because now we're 31 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 5: still holding up. 32 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 3: You'd rather just go ahead and bed, Let's just. 33 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 5: Be done with it, man, Let's just see what we 34 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 5: got going on for next year. I still want to 35 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 5: win every game. I want to spoil everybody's party, whoever 36 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 5: thinks they're going to come in here and try to 37 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 5: go through the Cowboys on the way to the playoffs. 38 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 3: And I want to find out who wants to be 39 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 3: here next year. 40 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 5: There you go, there you go, So do they That's 41 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 5: a good one right there. 42 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I was thinking driving in. 43 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,559 Speaker 4: Now a lot of young guys may get opportunity. 44 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 3: Now we're going to find out who wants to be 45 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 3: here next year. 46 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 5: And you know, there's still the same thing about ninety four, 47 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 5: you know, having him having that flag and things of 48 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 5: that nature. That was I think that's still something that 49 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 5: they should live on for quite some time. I mean, 50 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 5: it is part of their their fabric right now, and 51 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 5: I think it should bend. I think it should remain 52 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 5: that because it really has brought them together as people, 53 00:02:54,440 --> 00:03:00,080 Speaker 5: which is very unique nowadays in these professional sports organizations. 54 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 3: All right, well, let's talk about what happened last night? 55 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 3: Makey do you where do you start? 56 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 5: Look at the look on mickeys? 57 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 4: Well, uh, it's it's a deep subject. 58 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 3: How long did Shutenheimer talk after the game last night? 59 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 3: It seemed to go for a good while. You don't know, 60 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 3: we don't have to I mean specific. 61 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 4: I want to say I thought I saw three minutes. Yeah, 62 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 4: because I was recording it. 63 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 5: Why is that unusual? 64 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, especially after a loss. 65 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 2: You know, he's out of there. 66 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 3: But he was, you know, and he's always done that. 67 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:43,119 Speaker 3: It takes every question and there's a maturity about him and. 68 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 5: A little contemplation. Yeah. 69 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, And unfortunately I forgot to turn my recorder off. 70 00:03:50,320 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 6: It's still thanks for that, Vicky. 71 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 2: Was I want to say it was? 72 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 4: I want to say it was like thirty minutes. 73 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 2: Uh. 74 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 3: I mean, he's very unusual prescontin even after a win. 75 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 3: That well, I just know I was getting ready for 76 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 3: my show. We were on late last night and I 77 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 3: was listening to Schottenheimer doing other things, getting ready for 78 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 3: the show, and then I'd come, i'd leave, and i'd 79 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 3: come back and he's still talking. 80 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 4: So I was wondering why. When I was in the 81 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 4: press box writing and I looked at my clock and 82 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 4: it was like one thirty, and I said, why is 83 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 4: it so late? But the game ended at ten thirty. 84 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 4: He must have gone eleven fifteen or something time he 85 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 4: got in there. But you know, I thought, I thought 86 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 4: he explained things very well, awfully well, and took responsibility. 87 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 2: The two things. 88 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 4: That stuck out to me was early he said we 89 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 4: just didn't play very well. Uh, And to me, that 90 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 4: interpreted it as they just weren't good enough. And then 91 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 4: the second thing, he said, Ryan Flores did a better 92 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 4: job than I did. 93 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 5: And that's what I figured he would point that that 94 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 5: was the game. I knew he would be mad enough 95 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 5: to point that. I mean, it was. 96 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 3: That was one of the first things he bought it out. 97 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, and my column's not up yet, but I basically 98 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 4: said they blitzed the Cowboys into submission, not only in 99 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 4: the game but the season. 100 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, and Dak was the same way, talking about their 101 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 3: zero coverage and yeah, it was what we talked about 102 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 3: coming in, and we didn't have answers for it. Well 103 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 3: we I forgot it would beat it. 104 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 4: I got some next gen stats for you. Okay, So 105 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 4: he he ended up being like twenty what was it, 106 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,799 Speaker 4: twenty three of thirty eight for two hundred and ninety 107 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 4: four yards. 108 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 2: Somehow someway a lot. 109 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 3: Of some of that game on that last drive right after. 110 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 5: It was he was twenty not much of it. 111 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 4: They pressured them, I mean pressured. Yeah, they pressured them 112 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 4: twenty one times. So it had been forty dropbacks, and 113 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 4: he counts the two sacks fifty one point two percent. 114 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 4: They blitzed forty three forty six point three percent, so 115 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 4: that's right at nineteen and yet he threw for that 116 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 4: many yards. 117 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 3: And I think on the season, Floris's defense blitzes forty 118 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 3: eight percent. Yeah, so he's right at They were prepared 119 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 3: and I had they were going to do. They just 120 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 3: didn't have the answers. 121 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 4: I found out Friday in the locker room, guys were 122 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 4: talking and got pointed out that when he was the 123 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 4: coach at Miami, he blitzed Lamar Jackson. 124 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 2: When they were playing Baltimore. 125 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 4: Twenty eight times, just kept going and and the Cowboys 126 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 4: never did anything to discourage him from continuing the blitzes. 127 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 5: I thought they did. 128 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 4: A couple of times the Running Game, The Running Running Game, 129 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 4: they hit some runs, but they needed to keep doing it. 130 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 4: And then you're down to what one running back and 131 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 4: you lose two of them. Gavante Williams did come back, 132 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 4: they lost lip Key. 133 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 3: Came back with a vengeance explosive run after. 134 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 4: And then he happened halftime worked for him, and then 135 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 4: suffer He's out. 136 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 5: Yeah because he was running well no. 137 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, and and because they had keep they were bringing 138 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 4: him in on third down to help with blitz pick. 139 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 2: And then they said, well, let's. 140 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 5: Just they said, right in between the center. 141 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, they've done that several times. 142 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 2: They've done it. 143 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 4: Yes, almost like he was a tight end the way 144 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 4: he lined up. 145 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 5: But the problem wasn't in the middle. The problem was 146 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 5: the guy's coming from the outside. 147 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 4: Right, and they didn't chip enough or they didn't use 148 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 4: the tight ends enough, but they couldn't discourage him from continue. 149 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 4: And you know, when I think of a blitz, it's like, well, 150 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 4: the safety came right. Well, they were sending the safety 151 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 4: the linebacker. So now that's six and now two linebackers and. 152 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 5: That's safety is running back. 153 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 4: Yeah right, And at one time they had eight guys 154 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 4: on the line of scrimmage oh many times, and they 155 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 4: all came yeah, now three of them will drop yeah, 156 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 4: and you don't know which three are going to drop it, right, 157 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 4: And so that's but that was him. That's that's what 158 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 4: Dak explained to me on Friday. It's like you think 159 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 4: you know, and then it's the guys they drop off 160 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 4: and confuses what you got to do. 161 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 2: And they were talking about but we got rules to 162 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 2: do this and do that. Well, they just overwhelmed it. 163 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 5: And that wasn't just the brush, it was the coverage. Yeah, 164 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 5: because you know Dak will throw it in there. I mean, 165 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 5: he's gonna give you a chance. But he didn't even 166 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 5: want to give him a chance. This time. It was 167 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 5: that tight on the window. And you usually see Dak, 168 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 5: I'm gonna try you, right, I don't care who you are. 169 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 5: I don't care if it's Lord nor, I don't care 170 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 5: if it's it's CD. I'm gonna try you. And he 171 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 5: he would. He was like Mahomes was against us. He 172 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,319 Speaker 5: kept wanting to pull the trigger and he wouldn't. And 173 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 5: that there's two small quarterbacks that decided not to do something. 174 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 5: So you're not open as far as I'm concerned. Well, 175 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 5: and and here's here's my thing about how shy you 176 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 5: could have attacked that. And you know, we got all 177 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 5: kinds of ways to do it. But when you have 178 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 5: zero coverage back there or even just one high, you 179 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 5: gotta run rub routes. They do it to us all 180 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,839 Speaker 5: the time. You you you run the receivers, you run 181 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 5: the dbs into each other. You make them try and 182 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 5: work their way around it in the midst of making 183 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 5: a play or trying to make a play. And I 184 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 5: didn't think we went deep enough. I know that the 185 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 5: blitzeres are coming, but then I'm gonna throw it up 186 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 5: to you. You know, you need to win at the 187 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 5: line of scrimmage, and I'm going to throw it up 188 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 5: to you. And we didn't do any of that. 189 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 4: They didn't attack the middle of the field, not at all. 190 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 4: But the tight ends were probably trying to block. He 191 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 4: got hit eleven times and they had five passes defense. 192 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 4: Sounds like last week, so to me, when you have 193 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 4: that many passes defense, then your guys aren't that open, right, 194 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 4: you know what, you're trying to fit one. 195 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 5: That's right, you're trying to fit it in and he 196 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 5: will try it. 197 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 4: And the way they played their defense, they were making 198 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 4: sure that they were funneling guys and. 199 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 5: Well, we kept the routes short. And see that's the 200 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,079 Speaker 5: thing we were doing two years ago when we lost 201 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 5: to Green Bay. After a while, you have to say, 202 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 5: you know what, man on man, and that we have 203 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 5: the two guys to do that. We have three I 204 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 5: like flowing over against anybody. Yeah, so let's send them 205 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 5: towards the middle of the field. Let's send them, let's 206 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 5: test the outside. And we were just so conservative in 207 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 5: that regards and I don't know where that came from, 208 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 5: because we haven't been conservative throughout our entire stretch of 209 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 5: these needed games. And that just disappointed me so much. 210 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 4: And they weren't conservatives. To start the game on the 211 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,719 Speaker 4: first possession, right, you have a fake field goal right 212 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 4: like that, and then I just love for some reason, 213 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 4: I thought I thought I thought he had bounced it 214 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 4: to him like a basket. 215 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 5: That's what it was, like a basketball play, you know, 216 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 5: you come across the screen screen, you're man, there you go, buddy, 217 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 5: flip it over. 218 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 3: That was sweet, you know. 219 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 4: And even at that, they go for it at fourth 220 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 4: and one, they go for it at the goal line 221 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 4: and it's like, okay, I don't want field goals, right, 222 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 4: I want touchdowns. 223 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 5: And eventually they field goals. 224 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 4: Actually, if you count the fake, they were in seven 225 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 4: field goals situations. They made four of six, and I 226 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,319 Speaker 4: decided that, you know, I always say the more field 227 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 4: goals you kick, the closer your id to losing. Now 228 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 4: I got to make an addendum, the more you miss, 229 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 4: the closer your. 230 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 5: No, no, the more your kick your kicks. His leg 231 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 5: gets tired, that's. 232 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 3: What that's only, he gets tired from running the football. 233 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 5: That did it? 234 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 7: Our covering to be a multitask, right, I had to 235 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 7: make a tackle on the kickoff, which, by the way, Uh, 236 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 7: the coverage improved, didn't it did? 237 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 5: Everything about special. 238 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 4: Team they made they made a priority because I saw, 239 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 4: uh the itinerary we get. 240 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 5: Uh. 241 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 4: There was three special teams meetings between Saturday and Sunday 242 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 4: and they were highlighted like yeah, better be there, right, 243 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 4: And the coverage I think I don't know if they 244 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 4: got past the. 245 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 5: Third years, well, no, I made they made the jack off. 246 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 5: They made adjustments. 247 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 2: They did a good job, and I saw where. 248 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 4: Quite a bit some of the starters were actually playing 249 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 4: on special teams. Yeah, so that improved. Now the kicks 250 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 4: he missed fifty one fifty nine, he. 251 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 2: Pushed them both to the right. I don't know why. 252 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 2: On the first one. 253 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 4: When I was writing it down, he's going to attempt 254 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 4: and I'm going, oh, he's gonna miss. 255 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 2: I just said he's gonna miss. 256 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 4: And I watch him warm I don't I don't know why. 257 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 4: I watch him warm up because he hits everything. 258 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, he hits. 259 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 5: Everything, the same thing yesterday. 260 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 4: So yesterday when that fake took place, I just assume, Okay, 261 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 4: I'm writing down, made right, and then they faked it 262 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 4: yeah yesterday. Yeah, and he warmed up great yesterday. But 263 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 4: you know, at some point, you're human. 264 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 5: And that's that's the thing about this importance of this stretch. 265 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 5: We talk about referees. They're gonna let you down. Something's 266 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 5: gonna let you down. 267 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 8: You know, like the whole we need he need everything 268 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 8: to be almost perfect. Yeah, and it's hard for perfection 269 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 8: to sneak in to be to be perfect one hundred percent, 270 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 8: but to be lawless, you're only going to be flawless 271 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 8: on eighty percent of your place. 272 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 5: I mean, that's just the way it goes, you know. 273 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 4: And Schottenheimer emphasized a couple of times that they just 274 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 4: weren't good enough on third down. Well, they converted a 275 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 4: season low two of twelve, two of sixteen percent. But 276 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 4: there was a reason why, because those third downs were long. 277 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 4: They weren't doing enough persistently on first and second because 278 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 4: they only converted two of nine, right and and that guy. 279 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 3: But they converted on fourth down. 280 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 5: Yes, and Cowboys had fourth down conversion, and they were 281 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 5: willing to go down the field in one on one situations. 282 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 5: They tested our corners. 283 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 3: If I told you you were going to hold big 284 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 3: fourth and three downfield to beat Rebel. 285 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 5: Then I thought the costs some one heard. 286 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 2: Carson heard, yeah, yeah. 287 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 4: If I had told you Justin and Jefferson, all I 288 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 4: can remember is watching LSU play and it's touched Jefferson, 289 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 4: that's a light two catches for twenty two yards. You'd 290 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 4: take it. You're going, oh, we're gonna win, right, Yeah. 291 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 5: But you didn't know something to give up a touchdown 292 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 5: to some. 293 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 4: Other Naylor guys going to step up and didn't even. 294 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 5: Know he was also l s U right, I believe. 295 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 9: So. 296 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 5: They're known for their wide receivers. 297 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 4: But they just gave up too many explosive plays. 298 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 5: There's a there's a point to where either it's going 299 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 5: to click or not, and I was did not because 300 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 5: it wasn't just one thing. It was a plefel of 301 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 5: things that we could have looked at, several that we 302 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 5: talked about, but also just the penalties and crucial situations 303 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 5: that could have helped us. And when I say crucial situations, 304 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 5: I don't know how many penalties we had, not many, 305 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 5: but they were bad. Uh the kickoff return. 306 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 3: You're talking about the CJ. Goodwin, the whole, the whole, 307 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 3: by the way, before he gets too far away, Naylor 308 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 3: went to Michigan State, but it was and on that 309 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 3: kickoff return here were you there when Cavante was talking about, no, 310 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 3: I wasn't kicking during the week, Oh yeah, up to 311 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 3: the game, talking about, well we need to start holding like. 312 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 10: The right team, right all right? 313 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 4: Right, Well you know what good one told me, the 314 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 4: same thing. He goes they got away with so many 315 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 4: holds and he was talking to Detroit or Detroit. Yeah, 316 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 4: and then they get called for holding. 317 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 5: He was what you cant depend on referees. 318 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 4: They will let you that forty or thirty five yard 319 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 4: line wherever he was. 320 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, we had a couple, We had a couple of 321 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 5: big plays. 322 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 2: Off seven seven penalties. 323 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 5: But they were they were just at such inopportunity times, right, 324 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 5: and we don't have we don't have room for era. 325 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 5: We didn't have it, not only just in the season itself, 326 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 5: but you can break it down to almost every play. 327 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 2: We just don't need it on the goal line. 328 00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 4: When they got called for illegal touching or whatever, they 329 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 4: had stopped him right. They showed the replay and they 330 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 4: called it on Murray and. 331 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 3: I watched it. 332 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 4: It was he didn't touch anybody. 333 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 2: They called. 334 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 3: I think the back of the TV. They showed a 335 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 3: replay and it looked like it was. 336 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 5: Yeah. But but once again, was he still in the 337 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 5: pocket because he came out of that pocket fast. 338 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 4: Right, and they while the quarterback was in the pocket right. 339 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,919 Speaker 5: Yeah, it must have looked at it, but but it 340 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 5: didn't happen that fast. He didn't hold him until he 341 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 5: went to the back of the end zone right right 342 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 5: by that time, he's already scrambled out, the quarterback had 343 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 5: already scrambled out of the pocket, and. 344 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 4: They were so close five yards that had that gets 345 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 4: you halfway into the end zone right from where they were. 346 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 4: But again, but again everything adds up as you as 347 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 4: you said.

Really was thirty five in. 417 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 5: Well, here's what I know. They listened to mix shots 418 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 5: because we told them they need to start off. 419 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 4: Faster, right they did. 420 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 5: They game I strong and you know, no, no three 421 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 5: point is no. No. We want to we want to 422 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 5: please mix shots. 423 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 2: That's right. 424 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 5: Give us the old no look pass and seven nothing 425 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 5: that's right with the ball. 426 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,880 Speaker 3: All right, And then the Vikings get the ball back 427 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 3: and it's a punt. Okay, Now there was a good punt. 428 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 3: It was a punt that was sixty four yards. 429 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:42,679 Speaker 4: Well you got it. 430 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 10: No, that's what I mean. 431 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 3: It turned out to be a good punt in that 432 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 3: it went good. 433 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 4: You think it was in his head? Oh no, I 434 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:53,439 Speaker 4: can't fair catch it. 435 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,360 Speaker 10: You know what it was. It was such a bad punt. 436 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 2: Right, he couldn't have to go there. 437 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 3: It was such a bad punt that there was a 438 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 3: Vikings player between Cavante and the ball where he could 439 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 3: not come up and catch the ball. 440 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 5: Well it was the Cowboy player as well, yeah, right there, right, 441 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 5: And that's a good strategy because it does give them 442 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 5: a god pause. Well, like if I go over here, 443 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,679 Speaker 5: he might hit me, you know, I might hit them. 444 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 5: I might miss the ball next thing, you know, they 445 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 5: get that's right. 446 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 3: But from a Vikings perspective, the good thing on the 447 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 3: punt for them was that it rolled farther than it 448 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 3: traveled in the air, and the Cowboys were then pinned 449 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 3: down back at their own three yard line to start 450 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 3: that drive which flipped the field. And then starting with 451 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 3: the Vikings third possession, they go two plays fifty four 452 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 3: yards or whatever it was for a touchdown and their 453 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 3: next seven possessions. The Vikings score on six of those 454 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 3: seven possessions, four touchdowns and two field goals. 455 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 5: And we're not talking going against his own well, just man, 456 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 5: the man. They beat us in every defense we tried 457 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 5: to play, and I don't know how that is. Like 458 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 5: I said, the only success we had was when they 459 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 5: threw to Jefferson. That's the only time we felt good 460 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 5: about any past He's. 461 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 3: Either going to overthrow him or Jefferson on one of 462 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 3: them just dropped it. Uh huh, was like he was 463 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 3: so surprised that it was our target. Actually pretty fast, 464 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 3: I think, so, I don't care. 465 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,400 Speaker 10: He's still just he got off of the fast too. 466 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 5: I mean he got up and ran over to the 467 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 5: to the huddling. I guess he apologized. 468 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 3: Sorry what I said, all those overthrows. 469 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,959 Speaker 5: Right, but now you got to get a stop. You 470 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:47,120 Speaker 5: have to get a stop. This defense is so confusing 471 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 5: to me because we have the talent, but the scheme 472 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 5: itself has to be the problem, because you can't tell 473 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 5: me that this group of players that we have on 474 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 5: that front. I just take the front four. I think 475 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 5: if you got a front four with a good scheme, 476 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 5: even that front four, no matter who the linebackers are 477 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 5: behind you, they should make more plays in the making. 478 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 5: We should still get more pressure than we're getting, which 479 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 5: makes no sense to me. When we have these studs 480 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 5: on our defensive line, we should not be There's no 481 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 5: way that Jared Golf should be sitting back in the 482 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 5: pocket having a good time. There's no way that JJ 483 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 5: should be doing the same thing. Not the entire game. 484 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 5: I just didn't. They were maybe pressured. What do you 485 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 5: think they had? 486 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 3: Maybe he got your next gen stage made pressures. 487 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:50,479 Speaker 4: Oh, I'm sorry, he is he I was looking something up? 488 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 3: Is it about what we're talking about? 489 00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 4: He had said they got off to such a good start, right, 490 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 4: and I was sitting there going, well, we forget in 491 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 4: the third quarter they were up twenty seventeen, right. 492 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 10: Yeah, and they got up twenty three seventeen too. 493 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 5: Well. 494 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 4: The problem was they had a third and eight and 495 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,479 Speaker 4: they got a false start. So now it's third and 496 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,199 Speaker 4: thirteen and they ended up fourth and three at the 497 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 4: eighteen yard line and I'm sitting there, do not kick 498 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 4: a field? 499 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 5: Go for it? Did I want to go for it then? Too? 500 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 4: And he was like and he answered it, yeah, shotten him. 501 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 4: He said, we needed we needed points. But I'm sitting 502 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 4: there going, okay, you're up twenty three seventeen. Touchdown you're behind, 503 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 4: and that's exactly what happened. And they took a deliberate 504 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 4: delay a game and it was like, no, just go 505 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 4: for it. You're at the eighteen. At least they got 506 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,120 Speaker 4: to drive all that way. 507 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 5: If you don't get it, what en see? Sorry, no, no, no, 508 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 5: that changed they that's the difference between last night and 509 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 5: how he coached doing this stretch. 510 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 4: Or the beginning of the question. And then he didn't. 511 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:12,880 Speaker 5: Even the beginning of the game. There you go, even 512 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 5: the beginning of the game. Now you can't. This is 513 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 5: not the time to step back now, you know, this 514 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 5: is the time that we gotta have, you know, what 515 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 5: the young people talk about. 516 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,880 Speaker 4: And then and in Nate Thomas defense, there's no defense, 517 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 4: but the blitz was coming and he. 518 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,919 Speaker 2: Just overreacted unfortunately, you know. 519 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 4: And then it's twenty three, twenty four to twenty. 520 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 3: Three, and well, but okay, to your point on kicking 521 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 3: the field goal on fourth and three at the eighteen, 522 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,880 Speaker 3: Schottenheimer kicks the field goal. Okay, all right, it's twenty 523 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 3: three to seventeen. Vikings next drive is when they had 524 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 3: the fourth and three at the Dallas thirty seven yard 525 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 3: line and they go for it. And that was a 526 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 3: twenty three yard past to Naylor and they wound up 527 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 3: getting a touchdown on that had to take the lead 528 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 3: twenty four to twenty three. 529 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 2: See, and then that next possession, they. 530 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 5: Don't have the weapon. 531 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 3: They don't have the weapon place kicker that the Cowboys have, 532 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,399 Speaker 3: so they don't try the fifty five yard if you 533 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,199 Speaker 3: will go and go for it. 534 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, but once again aggression paid off. 535 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 4: See and he had and I wrote down all day 536 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 4: in the pocket on that on that plate twenty three 537 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 4: And then there was and then the one I mentioned 538 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,640 Speaker 4: it was first in goal at the four and uh, 539 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,159 Speaker 4: they batted the ball incomplete and that's when they called 540 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 4: a legal contact on Murray. 541 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 2: Wasn't on Murray. 542 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 4: So it goes from second to first and goal at 543 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 4: the one and two plays later touchdown. 544 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 5: He was. 545 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 4: He was the first time the guy ran the ball 546 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 4: the whole season, the full. 547 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 3: Back, the first time that was an unscouted look and 548 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 3: he got a touched out one yard. Okay, Mickey, can 549 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 3: you talk about the first touchdown by JJ McCarthy on 550 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 3: the fourth down on the goal line. 551 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 10: Oh, talked about it off the air rant on the air. 552 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 4: I said, if there's any indignity. Losing is allowing him 553 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 4: to run that play fake and he trots into the 554 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 4: end laughing. Okay, it's real funny. 555 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 2: Huh yeah, that was a killer. 556 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 4: They blitched and made the tackle on the guy that 557 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 4: didn't get the ball. 558 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 5: I know, I mean, don't you be intelligent? 559 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exactly. 560 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 10: What I was thinking. 561 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 5: How many people, No, it's not even that. When you're 562 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 5: if I'm a corner lining up, I'm like, I'm not 563 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 5: going for that. 564 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 3: Right, It's just that, and it's and it's. 565 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 5: Okay in the heads be smart exactly, but this is 566 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 5: that's college reaction. That's a high school reaction. And oh man, 567 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 5: we got too many veterans on this team for something 568 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 5: like that to happen. Hey, it was so bad. Peyton 569 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 5: Manning would be envious of. That's how bad that was. 570 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 5: Because Peyton's was bad. I mean, he ran slower than 571 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 5: Peyton did. It just made no sense. 572 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 4: Well, maybe that's what happens when you failed to get 573 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 4: any pressure on the opposing quarterback. They never sacked them once. 574 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 4: They hurried them maybe four times, maybe five times at 575 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 4: the most. 576 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 5: When you're in this kind of situations fast and it's 577 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 5: so busy, looking out for everything. You don't see anything right, 578 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 5: and because you know you once again, the margin for 579 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 5: area is so slim. And so when you're trying to 580 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 5: talk about what watch this, watch that, watch this some 581 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 5: inexperienced guy, I guess we did have with some inexperienced 582 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 5: dbs out there that you know, they're getting caught up 583 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,479 Speaker 5: in the moment. That's not what veterans do, you know. 584 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 5: And even if I was a coach, I would have 585 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 5: sent someone. I don't know. I'm pretty sure everyone on 586 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 5: the sidelines is watch the bootleg. Wat's the fake. You 587 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 5: don't just this is not this is not the so 588 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 5: though you know this is not the so though we 589 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 5: you know, we play smart, we play with poise, and 590 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 5: that as you get desperate, it's harder and harder to 591 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 5: do that. 592 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 3: We don't have a show tomorrow. We won't convene again 593 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 3: until Wednesday, and so I want to get Everson's thoughts 594 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 3: on the veteran that did not play in this game 595 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 3: and hasn't played in the last eight games, and what's 596 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 3: going on with Trayvon.

Despite the 642 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,360 Speaker 3: factor in the week, it sounded like that he was 643 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,799 Speaker 3: trending to wards playing. We even talked about it here 644 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,879 Speaker 3: on the show. I think that we should do possibility 645 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 3: or good possibility he'd be playing. And so, what do 646 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:08,799 Speaker 3: you think is going on here? 647 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 5: Well, right now, I'm a little confused because at one 648 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 5: point we thought we knew exactly what was going on 649 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 5: with Trayvon Diggs in regards to his non participation and 650 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 5: his attitude. It seemed to be in the locker room 651 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 5: and on the field itself. Uh, And then we see 652 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:37,800 Speaker 5: some bright optimism when it came down to his participation. 653 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 4: From him from him, yes. 654 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, with him talking, not from. 655 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,360 Speaker 5: Now. They've been giving him the stiff arm. He'd been 656 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 5: getting the heisman from the organization themselves. 657 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 4: So and it was always about consistency. It was across 658 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 4: the board, whoever talked about it, talking about needing to 659 00:35:59,080 --> 00:35:59,920 Speaker 4: be more consistent. 660 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 5: Well, when you look at this team and you look 661 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:07,880 Speaker 5: at the makeup of the secondary. 662 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 2: We really could use him if indeed we. 663 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,960 Speaker 5: Really he's ready to need him, if he's ready to play, right. 664 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 3: Gary, he talks about health with him. 665 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, that I watched when they do their individual drills, when. 666 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,799 Speaker 2: He seemed to be moving just fine, something else is up. 667 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 5: Well, it's like you said, he's gonna be He's in 668 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,719 Speaker 5: a whole other category in regard to the relationship in 669 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:36,319 Speaker 5: this organization. You know, they don't know. They seem to 670 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:40,279 Speaker 5: know what he's going to do come next year, even 671 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 5: the end of the end of this season. As far 672 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,840 Speaker 5: as I'm concerned and for the fans are concerned, I 673 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 5: think they've given up on him. 674 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 4: Well, first of all, the only guy that didn't play 675 00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 4: in the game was Joe Milton, So forty eight guys, 676 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,879 Speaker 4: however many it was, they all played. Now to get 677 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 4: him on the fifty three, you've got to cut somebody, now. 678 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,279 Speaker 4: I can't imagine they couldn't find somebody to say, all right, 679 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,399 Speaker 4: last minute, we're going to let you go and then 680 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:19,080 Speaker 4: we'll put you on the practice squad.

But you got to cut somebody to 684 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:31,360 Speaker 4: put them on. 685 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,160 Speaker 3: Either cut them or there's an injury, you can put 686 00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:33,400 Speaker 3: them on. 687 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think maybe that. 688 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:36,400 Speaker 3: Puts him out for the season at this point they 689 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:37,239 Speaker 3: were hoping for. 690 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:43,240 Speaker 2: And it didn't occur. I refuse, I refuse. 691 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,520 Speaker 3: To believe a lot of Sometimes sometimes it just kind 692 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,920 Speaker 3: of takes somebody. 693 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 2: Yeah or something, yeah, hamstring. 694 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,279 Speaker 4: I refuse to believe that they were just trying to 695 00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:00,399 Speaker 4: save fifty eight thousand dollars, because that's which is it's 696 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:01,480 Speaker 4: all the game. 697 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 5: Are they trying to save him for whoever he's going 698 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:10,400 Speaker 5: to well in? Do they want not to damage the 699 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,080 Speaker 5: goods or hurt that knee? 700 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, depending on what they wanted. 701 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,719 Speaker 5: So that that that means that their minds pretty much 702 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 5: would be made up. And if you use that scenario, 703 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,239 Speaker 5: their mind is made up that Okay, we're just going 704 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,799 Speaker 5: to hold him over here, like like China, we don't 705 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 5: want to we don't want to break the China. 706 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 2: And like Cardinals with Kyler Murray, there you go, same thing. 707 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:37,880 Speaker 4: And I'm sure there's still upset with the home accident 708 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 4: that put him in concussion produce right, right, So I 709 00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:43,800 Speaker 4: just think there's. 710 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,560 Speaker 5: Best kept secret secret in town. By the way, absolutely 711 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,560 Speaker 5: nobody can keep a secret anywhere, but we want to 712 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 5: know about this one that we cannot find out. Yeah, 713 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:54,320 Speaker 5: you can only speculate. 714 00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 3: But it's coming to a head this week because his 715 00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,480 Speaker 3: twenty one day window is up this week. So if 716 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,799 Speaker 3: he's not activated for the Chargers game on Sunday. 717 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 4: No, no, no, it would be after This is the 718 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,560 Speaker 4: last seven days so. 719 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:11,320 Speaker 2: Washington following two. 720 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,799 Speaker 3: Christmas for the Washington So it's come into a head 721 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,719 Speaker 3: within the next eight days whether he's going to be 722 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,640 Speaker 3: shut down for the season or active. 723 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 5: I gotta say, uh, I don't like those broken relationships, 724 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,759 Speaker 5: you know, especially when you have someone who was as 725 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:35,239 Speaker 5: valuable to this team as Diggs has been. When it 726 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,880 Speaker 5: comes to your mind and your heart, it ain't always 727 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:43,960 Speaker 5: in it, and it kind of it betrays you because 728 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 5: it puts you in a bad light sometimes because you 729 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,839 Speaker 5: don't react well to what's going on. And right now 730 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 5: he's just not reacting. Well. We know he's a hell 731 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,560 Speaker 5: of a player, but he's just at the time that 732 00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:59,160 Speaker 5: this was started happening, he just wasn't presenting himself in 733 00:39:59,200 --> 00:39:59,719 Speaker 5: the best light. 734 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,799 Speaker 4: If you look at the games he played previously, it 735 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,399 Speaker 4: didn't look like he was all in. Yeah, I mean 736 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,279 Speaker 4: his coverage whatever they were asking him to do wasn't 737 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 4: top notch. 738 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:15,439 Speaker 5: That was that was really early on. Yeah, you could 739 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,880 Speaker 5: only improve from there, right, which there was some improvement, 740 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,480 Speaker 5: but it just didn't you know, it didn't lead to 741 00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:24,400 Speaker 5: success for us well. 742 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:30,400 Speaker 4: And the other thing is his attitude towards the team 743 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:36,960 Speaker 4: was almost like Parsons. Parsons attitude towards the team didn't 744 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:41,319 Speaker 4: improve until he was in contract negotiations. Then he was 745 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:45,840 Speaker 4: all in right, and with Diggs he was kind of 746 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,839 Speaker 4: the same way. Then when he came back after his 747 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 4: stay on injured reserve, it was almost like, oh, I'm interacting, 748 00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:58,319 Speaker 4: I'm part of the team during warm ups, I'm with everybody, 749 00:40:58,680 --> 00:40:59,359 Speaker 4: and it was. 750 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 2: I think, I think he's changed. 751 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,759 Speaker 5: And I think, you know, the tragedy that we had 752 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:06,840 Speaker 5: had a lot to do with that as well. I 753 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:11,480 Speaker 5: think he couldn't help but be drawn in right by 754 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:13,759 Speaker 5: the closeness that was surrounding this team. 755 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,040 Speaker 4: And that's a good thing, almost by osmosis, right there, 756 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:17,319 Speaker 4: you go. 757 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean he had to just organically, you know, 758 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 5: you see the attitude of everyone around here. You can't help. 759 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 5: You couldn't help but be affected by that, right, And 760 00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:31,319 Speaker 5: so I'm hoping, man, maybe it's too late, but I'm 761 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 5: hoping that gives him a totally new light that shines 762 00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,560 Speaker 5: a totally new light on what he thinks about this 763 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 5: team and his future with this team. Now. 764 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 4: I know, playing ping pong in the locker room with 765 00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:48,279 Speaker 4: your teammates is not always a signal, but I never 766 00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:54,279 Speaker 4: saw Parsons interact until he's that contract was being negotiated 767 00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,000 Speaker 4: and Jerry kept talking about a leader. All of a sudden, 768 00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,919 Speaker 4: he's playing ping pong. Well there wasn't a ping pong 769 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,919 Speaker 4: table there before, but just being in the locker room 770 00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:06,080 Speaker 4: with the guy. And then like a month ago, all 771 00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 4: of a sudden, Digs is in there interacting. 772 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:10,799 Speaker 5: Well, either you interacted, you're all alone. 773 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:12,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, because that's is everybody else. 774 00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:16,280 Speaker 5: Everybody else is all in. Yeah. And so if it's 775 00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,560 Speaker 5: if he's forced to come in, then that's fine as 776 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:20,799 Speaker 5: long as the result is he's in. Yeah. 777 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,640 Speaker 4: But and are you ready to play? 778 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:24,879 Speaker 5: Well right now? 779 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:25,279 Speaker 4: Hell? 780 00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,799 Speaker 5: I think is are you? Are they ready for you 781 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,160 Speaker 5: to play? Right right now? I think that's what we are. 782 00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:32,759 Speaker 5: I don't think I think it may be out of 783 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:33,320 Speaker 5: his hands. 784 00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,200 Speaker 4: Oh it is, yeah, because he can say what he wants. 785 00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,279 Speaker 4: It's it's up to them if he's playing or not. 786 00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:44,560 Speaker 5: And if they gave me a vote, I want him here. 787 00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,239 Speaker 5: I want him here. We need some talent in our secondary. 788 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 5: We got to have it. 789 00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 3: And if you were Trayvon right now, with three games 790 00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:55,760 Speaker 3: left in this season and not knowing what your future 791 00:42:55,920 --> 00:43:01,839 Speaker 3: is here and with the one percent chance of making 792 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:07,560 Speaker 3: the playoffs, what would you want to do right now? 793 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:11,200 Speaker 5: If I would trade? I want to play. I'm sorry. 794 00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,560 Speaker 5: Any player wants to play that, that's that's the question. 795 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:16,960 Speaker 5: Should you play? That's a whole other thing. If I 796 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,040 Speaker 5: just came off with a knee injury, I had surgery 797 00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,440 Speaker 5: and all of that, and I've been ramping up all 798 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 5: this time, I want to play. 799 00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,239 Speaker 3: You have to payoff to what all that work you've 800 00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:25,719 Speaker 3: been putting in. 801 00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:29,080 Speaker 5: And if nothing else, show somebody else that I can play. 802 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,400 Speaker 5: If that, since it's out of my hands, show somebody 803 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,960 Speaker 5: else that I can play. Okay, you you know it's 804 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,960 Speaker 5: my fault. Yes, now here we are. You hold the cards. 805 00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,000 Speaker 5: I want to show somebody else out there what I 806 00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:44,759 Speaker 5: can do, because right now yes, my fault, but right 807 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:51,040 Speaker 5: now I don't trust your decision for me. Yes, it's 808 00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:54,000 Speaker 5: my fault. But now, even though you hold the cards, 809 00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:56,960 Speaker 5: I still have to do what's best for me starting 810 00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:57,680 Speaker 5: from here. 811 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,000 Speaker 3: Uh could her? Michael Parsons has a torn a cl 812 00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,440 Speaker 3: and of course Patrick Mahomes of the torn a cl 813 00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:04,960 Speaker 3: as well. 814 00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:10,080 Speaker 5: It's a tough day yesterday, just a tough day for football, 815 00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:14,280 Speaker 5: and we have failed to point out that. 816 00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:19,000 Speaker 4: Your one percent chance means the Cowboys got to win 817 00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,759 Speaker 4: three in a row and the Eagles lose all. 818 00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:27,760 Speaker 3: The Eagles three games or two against Washington won at Buffalo. 819 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,799 Speaker 4: Well watch watch out for them, commanders. 820 00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,799 Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, think you'll help us out. 821 00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:37,560 Speaker 4: There on a winning streak. They beat the Giants. 822 00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,040 Speaker 3: And there's no chance. As far as a wild card. 823 00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:49,319 Speaker 4: There's I started counting up and there's five teams. The 824 00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,960 Speaker 4: only team had they won, at least they would have 825 00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:56,560 Speaker 4: passed Carolina, which is seven and seven, and you would 826 00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:57,080 Speaker 4: have been seven. 827 00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,200 Speaker 5: It's like every team ahead of us, they beat us. 828 00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:05,240 Speaker 4: It's almost well, Detroit or Troy, Carolina, Green Bay, Tie 829 00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:10,280 Speaker 4: and Green Tide and Chicago, Yes, but they're in first place. 830 00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:11,719 Speaker 5: How about it that you. 831 00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:16,680 Speaker 3: Feel Bears in Minnesota's almost passed you now six and 832 00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:21,960 Speaker 3: eight and finally Philip Rivers. 833 00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:22,840 Speaker 2: Unbelievable. 834 00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:27,160 Speaker 3: I can't even comment it was the only thing bad 835 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,040 Speaker 3: was it didn't pay off in a win, right, and 836 00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,000 Speaker 3: he had the lead, right, he had the lead. They 837 00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,239 Speaker 3: kick a field going to go up sixteen fifteen and 838 00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:36,960 Speaker 3: late in the game, and then the Seahawks come down 839 00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:38,440 Speaker 3: and kick a fifty six yard field. 840 00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:41,320 Speaker 5: You got you got dag back here running for his life, 841 00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:42,640 Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. 842 00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:46,399 Speaker 3: Classic thing. Did you see the video of Rivers high 843 00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:47,759 Speaker 3: school team in Alabama? 844 00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:48,840 Speaker 5: They had a watch. 845 00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:52,239 Speaker 3: Party, of course, Oh I saw, yeah, yeah, Saint Michael's 846 00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:55,640 Speaker 3: Catholic High school whatever.
