9
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: sat down. I just got here in time. We were

10
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: ready to find you, Mickey, and all of a sudden

11
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: you showed up one second late. That's because I ran,

12
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: Can I catch my breath now? If you can? Okay?

13
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: So what was the fine for? From two hundred dollars?

14
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: Two hundred dollars? He would watch, He would watch the

15
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: second hand and as soon as he got to to twelve.

16
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: You gotta be all the way in. You know, it's

17
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: like coming in there like you know what I mean.

18
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: It's not like a goal line where just the ball

19
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: has to touch the plane. No, you gotta be all

20
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: the way in. You gotta be all the way both

21
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: drag over the you know, and pre nineteen eighty nine,

22
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,919
Speaker 1: two hundred dollars was significant, Yes it was. It's significant

23
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 1: now for some of us. I'm back there there. It's

24
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: like a goal in hockey, right, it's gotta be over

25
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: the red line. Over the red line. Gave me idea.

26
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: What the fine is? Now? Now? I bet it's got

27
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: about five. I would think five hundred would be. Yeah,

28
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: you're going right, say I always like a nice round number.

29
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: Maybe a thousand, you never know, Yeah, making afford it right,

30
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a percentage of your all right, so much

31
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: to get to and h Mickey, I heard you on

32
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: the fan this morning. You enjoy your time on the

33
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: fan this morning, Old man, Mickey, Old man, Mickey, I'm

34
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: super Bowl Bill. I got my super Bowl cap on today.

35
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: What's this old man? Come into the twenty first century?

36
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: What that was? My bad? My bad? What happened on

37
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: the fan? Where did you guys talk about? Uh? Jerry

38
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: was trying to give them some perspective on analytics during games.

39
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: Basically said analytics are based on history. That's what's happening

40
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: that day. He did say that essentially, and he basically said,

41
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: you got a factor in whether you got a factor

42
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: in where the game is, momentum of the game, and

43
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: you got a factor in who you're playing and how

44
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: you played them, and that you can't just rely on history.

45
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: And they didn't like the answer. Unfortunately, I said, so

46
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: Jerry kind of told you where to go with your

47
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: analytics then, like they didn't like that either. Oh. They

48
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: finally got to the point where they said, well, you

49
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: and Jason and Jerry, you guys are stone age. And

50
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: I figured at that point I could feel myself ready

51
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: to blow up my tongue and said, nothing you had

52
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: been very proud of and they said I would have.

53
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: They said, there was this silence. It didn't they Micky,

54
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: are you still there? And you said yes, absolutely, coming

55
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: out of my ears, but I'm still here. Yeah, And

56
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: I was proud of myself because I didn't want to

57
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: get into it. All right, I understand they kind of

58
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: after we hung up, kind of continued going to, okay,

59
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: what should they do with Jerry, which I think is,

60
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: you know, hey, if you're going to disagree disagree with him,

61
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: don't wait till he hangs up and then kind of

62
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: disagree with what he had to say, you know, And

63
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: my point to him was he was talking about oil

64
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: and sometimes you know, you have your scientists tell you

65
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: where to drill and everything, and he goes, but sometimes

66
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: you got to have a feel for you know, what's

67
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: right or what's wrong. And so you know, they were

68
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: disputing that, and I said, well, yeah, it's just like

69
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: when he had a financial advisor telling him he was

70
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: crazy to buy the Cowboys in nineteen eighty nine, and

71
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: he went against logic because he had a feel that

72
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: I can make this work. And he has continued to

73
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: do that. Right, he made more money while having a

74
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: losing franchise, yeah, than while winning, and then he turned

75
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: it around and now he's worth how many billion, well

76
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: the most in the world. Right, franchise, sometimes you have

77
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: to kind of analyze the situation more so than the

78
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: history of the situation. Well, think there is a place

79
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: for analytics in the game, and Jason Garrett said yesterday

80
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: they use it basically is weekly part of their weekly prep.

81
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: It's not something they've got handy necessarily on game day.

82
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: And I guess to Mickey's point when he's talking about

83
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: you got to know the game situations. It's terrible weather,

84
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: it's fourth and seven, You've had trouble throwing the ball

85
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: all day. That probably factored in more than anything other

86
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: than what a stat tells you or who you're staying

87
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: that too, But I mean they those conditions were real.

88
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: I mean, when Tom Brady and Dak's having a hell

89
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: of a year, but the greatest quarterback of all time

90
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: is really struggling to throw the ball, that's those were

91
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: real conditions. You know what the analytics are on opponents

92
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: facing the Patriots this season, facing third and seven or

93
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: fourth and seven. Oh, what is it? Oh that's good,

94
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: Bill two for twenty five eight percent chance of making it.

95
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: I was gonna give him twenty five eight percent? What

96
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: it is? So all right? Did to put that in perspective.

97
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: But the worst team in the league, the Bengals, what

98
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: is the what's the percentage of making it on third

99
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: and seven or fourth and seven? No, No, let's say

100
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: now it was I'm doing this off the top of

101
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: my head. I looked it up yesterday. It was like

102
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: ten for thirty two. It was, you know, thirty thirty

103
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: something percent. Yeah, I wonder what the analytics tell you

104
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: if you had three chances, you just failed twice on

105
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: second and seven, third and so not. What are the

106
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: chances of making it the third time? Well, your chances

107
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: are greater because you've already used up to chances, So

108
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: eventually you're gonna make it. Oh, I had three chances

109
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: from the fourteen to put it in the end zone

110
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: and I failed on twelfth and seven. You'll make it. Yeah, Okay.

111
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: You can't just go on the philosophy well I'm due, right.

112
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: You can't say eventually it's gotta be my time. This

113
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: was always that was the vikings uh philosophy. When we

114
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 1: got down there, we hadn't gone with the quip all day,

115
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: so you were doing we're doing philosophy on teams that

116
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: are losing. At some point they're gone. I wonder what

117
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: the analytics say on that straight chances of winning the

118
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: ninth See, here's here's the thing. You know, analytics, it's

119
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: been big for several years. One of the things that

120
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: it's big right now, and the and the guy that

121
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: everyone is saying what a genius he is right now

122
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: because of analytics is John Harbaugh and the Ravens are

123
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: sitting there at nine and two. And John Harbaugh said

124
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: in one of his press conferences earlier in the year

125
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: that he has an analytics guy, and in fact, in

126
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: his ear during games, he's got the analytics guy who

127
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: can chime in whenever there's a situation. And all right,

128
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: let's go back a year ago. Who was the hot

129
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: coach in the National Football League? Fired the Rams guy?

130
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: Shot did the Okay? The Rams played who last night? Baltimore?

131
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: That played the Ravens and so so last night? The

132
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: hot guy? Right now, John Harbaugh, what was the final score?

133
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: Forty five? Forty five to six? It's the final score

134
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: fifteen and so Sean McVay is no longer a genius,

135
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: righting the analytics better than all right, and go ahead, well,

136
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: let me throw this at you. A year ago, what

137
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: was the Ravens record through nine games of the season?

138
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: Maybet the Cowboys four and four and five. They were

139
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: four and five through nine games of the season. But

140
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 1: that is when Johnah Harbaugh decided to start using analytics, right,

141
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: absolutely interesting. He also decided to insert Lamar Jackson as

142
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: his quarterback. And they are they are fifteen and four

143
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: since he started using wait wait wait wait wait wait

144
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: wait ho ho on, I'd say the latter eclipse the

145
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: former being facetious, being facetious when I say he first

146
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: started using analytics for Weekden, but he didn't start using

147
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson in weeks in last year. That's pretty good

148
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: X fact. Yeah, that's right, X fact. Just back to

149
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: that fourth down. It was fourth and seven. Everybody disagrees

150
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: on this. A lot of people in the media, fans

151
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: say you got to go for in that situation. I

152
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: think we said yea, at least I said yesterday. It's

153
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: it's what did you do to get to that point?

154
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: I mean Dak went for the end zone on third

155
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: down for Jarwin. I trust him in that situation. He

156
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: didn't come up with the play. You go back and watch,

157
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: it looked like he had some room if you wanted

158
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: to scramble on that left side. That's the and I

159
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: think Garrett was asked about that yesterday when you talked

160
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: to Kellen about, hey, this is four down territory and

161
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: then kind of figure out from there what you're doing

162
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: on on third down to try to get to a

163
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: manageable fourth down. They didn't get to a manageable fourth down.

164
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: I didn't have a problem with kicking it there because

165
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: I don't I think the odds of you converting that

166
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: in that situation aren't very good and then and then

167
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: the game's probably over at that point. We all I

168
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: think we all agreed on that. Yeah, I think the

169
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 1: argument should have been what you did on second and third.

170
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Yes, we've talked about, right, and

171
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: I I straddle the fence on this, I guess, but

172
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem if he decided, or if

173
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: anyone decided to go ahead and go for it on that. Okay, fine,

174
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: you got to make a decision one way or the other.

175
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: I would have gone ahead and kicked the field goal.

176
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: And one of the factors that I put into it,

177
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: you had six o four left in the game and

178
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,119
Speaker 1: if it ticks, so three left three times three timeouts

179
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: and um, and okay, if you if you go for

180
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: it and don't make it, then the Patriots can end

181
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: the game by just going down and kicking a field

182
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: goal and making an attemple that because who says we're

183
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: going to get it back right right? And we still

184
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: had the chance to get it back even after all

185
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: of that, And ye, okay, the other part of it,

186
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: the other part of it is, Okay, let's say you

187
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: go for it and you score a touchdown. Now, are

188
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: you going for two? No? I bet you, I bet

189
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: you anything. The analytics say go for two. Oh, I'm

190
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: sure they do at that point. So so basically, like

191
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: when we were talking about, Troy was saying, you gotta

192
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: go for it here, Okay, all right, I wonder if

193
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: I wonder I wonder if Troy would also say you

194
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: got to go for two? And the thinking on that

195
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: is how many more chances do you have against this

196
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 1: defense to be in that position? Right? Yeah? Okay? And

197
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: so that same thinking has to hold true after you

198
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: score the touchdown, because how many more chances are you

199
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: going to be down there if if you have that mindset.

200
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: Speaking of going for it on fourth down, that was

201
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: also one of hall Boss new he's gonna go for

202
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: it on fourth down a lot and going for two, yes,

203
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 1: and going for two a lot. That's what wouldn't have

204
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: any qualms about that, right right? It's interesting. So and

205
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: and the problem with all that is the analytics don't

206
00:11:54,559 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: have to handle if you're wrong, Like if you follow

207
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: the analytics and it fails, no one's blaming the analytic guy, right.

208
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 1: I think, by the way, for this research on this stuff,

209
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: how far back we're going five years, ten years, fifteen years. Well,

210
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: one of the things on the analytics doing it by

211
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: the way, well one of the things only why does

212
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: that matter? How when it was done? Why the information

213
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: does the information is it? Is it recent? Is its recent? Yeah?

214
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: I mean are we talking going back to Jim Brown? Error.

215
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: That's good, that's a good point. This is this is

216
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: what always bothered me with baseball managers, because anybody can

217
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: manage a game when you get into a tough situation

218
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: and the percentages say, I better have a right handed

219
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: pitcher pitching against a right handed batter, so I'm gonna

220
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: make the change, and if it doesn't work, it's like,

221
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: well I did what the percentages say, but my fault,

222
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: so don't blame me. So you so you win the

223
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: press conference after the game. Yeah, no, I mean it's

224
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: just because I followed the analytics. Yeah, you can use

225
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: someone can look it up and say, yeah he did,

226
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: or you know, I got a guy that's hitting decently,

227
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: but he's gonna have to face a right hander and

228
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 1: you go, now, I need a left hander up there.

229
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to pile on you here from the

230
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 1: fan earlier, but I'm really not. But you don't think

231
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: it has any place at all as even as a reference.

232
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you've got to watch what's going No,

233
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: I agree with its places within reason, right within reason.

234
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: Ask him. Tom Landry had twenty consecutive winning seasons, and

235
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: when he had to make a tough decision, people would

236
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: ask him what he'd well, why did you do that?

237
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: And you know what his answer was, all the time, Well,

238
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: I had this feel. He'd always talk about his feel

239
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: on a decision. At some point, you gotta, yes, you

240
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: gotta be human. There's times where Jason Garrett has gone it,

241
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: gone for it on fourth down in his own territory

242
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: because he's got the pulse of his team and they're

243
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: they're controlling things up front, and you got Zeke and

244
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: your handed to him. I don't know what the analytics

245
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: tell you in certain situations, certain yard line. So yes,

246
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I just I mean they are

247
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: using it some during the week. That is part of

248
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: what they do. It's not so I understand. I only

249
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: get you to a certain point. I just can't be

250
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: after that. You have to use your instincts as a

251
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: coach or as a player. If I'm sitting there here,

252
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: and I know that's gonna I'm going to against the

253
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver who's extremely good. I went against six nine.

254
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: Hell call Michael. Okay, so what what do the analytics

255
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: tell me? How do I play him? On and off

256
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: in the red zone? How do I play him? I

257
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: don't know what the hell those analytics are. I just

258
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: gotta go figure out. I gotta go for it just well,

259
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: you know, so yeah, I mean, analysts can only go

260
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: so far, and eventually you have to go on the field.

261
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: But I think it does give you when you're talking percentages,

262
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: you know, when you're talking chances, we're talking odds. I mean,

263
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: it has to be considered. It's no doubt a balance,

264
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: and I think it's part of your preparation during the week,

265
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: getting ready for the game. And I don't think you

266
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: necessarily have to have that person in your ear telling

267
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: you this. If you have prepared for the game as

268
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: a head coach, you it's not rocket science. There's not

269
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: all that many situations that come up in a game.

270
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: That's a good point, and so you've got that and

271
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: a lot. If I was a head coach, I would

272
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: have a card in front of me. Okay, even if

273
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: I wasn't calling plays where I've got all that information.

274
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: Third and seven. This is where they are whatever and

275
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: they do, and that is what is done as your

276
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: normal preparation. And I guarantee you that's what's done here

277
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: as well as normal game plan preparation. And before they

278
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: called it analytics, I can go back thirty years ago, right,

279
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: and you have to decide if I'm going to kick

280
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: an extra point or go for two? Remember the cards

281
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: at this score, you go for two? Control? Yeah, just

282
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: quality control, all right? When we continue on talking Cowboys, Rob,

283

328
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: am I gonna read here? The top two football teams

329
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: in the Big Twelve Conference will face off. That was

330
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: I went to my default. The top two teams in

331
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve face off in the Big Twelve Championship game. Macky,

332
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: what two teams would that be. I'm guessing it would be.

333
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: Let me see, Oklahoma, maybe there in and Baylor for sure.

334
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: The Baylor's who won when they faced off the first time, Mickey,

335
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: I think someone came back from eight to three. But

336
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 1: the Baylor Bears get their second chance on Saturday, December

337

340
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: such a hurt guy. I'm such a hurt fan. Oh yeah, yeah,

341
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 1: I love that guy. Oh yeah, I like the way

342
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: he improved. It's like kind of like that, you know,

343
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: to where you can see what about NFL? Then he's

344
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 1: talking about Jalen Hurts, the quarterback. Bro. Yes, I do

345
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: think it's just another Lamar Jackson amazing. Well, yeah, that's everybody.

346
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 1: That's everybody that can be changed, yea, that can be altered,

347
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: that could be improved. As an ou fan, I was

348
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: hoping that would change after the Texas game and it

349
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: did not change this. He got a little scared after

350
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: the TCU pick six. Yeah, pick on the goal line.

351
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: But but I'll tell you and people talk about Lincoln

352
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: Riley being a NFL coach. Whatever I'm yelling at Lincoln

353
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: Riley is as much as a lot of fans are

354
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 1: yelling at Jason Garrett some of the end game decisions.

355
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: And in fact, on that play that was a pick

356
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: six for TCU that I knew they were throwing to

357
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: CD Lamb. They put him in motion. It was so

358
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: obvious that they were the play was coming, he slipped

359
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 1: on his route and he got picked. All right, only

360
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:26,959
Speaker 1: goal line they had the game. I mean they're going

361
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: up thirty five seventeen all of a sudden. Yeah, And anyway,

362
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: and that hurts in their rankings too. Yeah, that that

363
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: pick six, you know, that could have cost them one spot.

364
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: All right, Rob Jerry on the radio today, what were

365
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: some highlights? Well, he got asked again about the coaching

366
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 1: criticism that he gave after Sunday's loss, and he basically said, up,

367
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:51,880
Speaker 1: you know, I feel the same way, but he kind

368
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 1: of clarified it in that I think a lot of

369
00:20:55,160 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 1: people were probably surprised by how critical he was. I

370
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: don't think he's normally that vocally frustrated with loss after

371
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: a game, but he pointed out look I'm I'm not

372
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: just the owner. I'm the GM. This is the staff

373
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: that I put together, and so I'm evaluating this whole

374
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: thing and it's my responsibility. So that's that's where he's

375
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: coming from on that, and he said, ultimately, the buck

376
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: stops with me. So that's that's where they're at. And

377
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: he hasn't you know, he got asked that he as

378
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 1: he met with Jason this week and they haven't because

379
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: this is typical during the short Thanksgiving week, they don't

380
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: have those types of personnel meetings and they're on to

381
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo and try to get this thing right. It are

382
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: they It's a question about as he met with Jason,

383
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: what are they getting at when they asked the question

384
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: like that. I ask him questions about the decision on

385
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: fourth down and the problems on somefessional teams. Just have

386
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: you met with him personally about the things that bothered

387
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: way about that game? And the thing that he really

388
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: harped on, obviously was the special teams and talking about

389
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: how that's pure coaching and you know, Keith o Quinn,

390
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: their special teams coordinator, works really hard getting these guys

391
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: prepared and the weather was bad and they there were

392
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: some mistakes obviously that were costly in that game, but

393
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: they got turned around. When you think about the game,

394
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: you think about the environment, Yeah, it kind of weighs

395
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: on you, you know, mentally and how you act. And

396
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: you know, I've always said Craft and Jones have something

397
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: going on with each other. You're right, there's a little

398
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: pain going on. And it came out and said something

399
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: because this game, along with the conditions and the drama,

400
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: all the emotion, I think that whole Jones versus crafting

401
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: played a part in him coming out like that, being

402
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: so bold in his criticism because you know, dog going well,

403
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: he did not want to look over there and see

404
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 1: Craft celebrating in victory at ten and one on the season.

405
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: And and and what goes into it, as much as

406
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: anything too, is what's happened to put them in this

407
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: position where they're falling to six and five. Yeah, still

408
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: leading the division, but the loss to the Jets, the

409
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: other close games, no victories against teams right now that

410
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: have a winning record, It just would have been such

411
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 1: a feather in your cap. I mean ever since you

412
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: played long time, and if you can get a statement

413
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: win like that, it can change an entire confidence level

414
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: of a team I would imagine, And to your point, Bill,

415
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: I mean four or five losses I think are combined

416
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: twenty two points. They've been right there, and at a

417
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: certain point you just get frustrated when you when you're

418
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,239
Speaker 1: looking at the conditions that when you look at how

419
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: they lost, if they would have won this game, who's

420
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: to say that they wouldn't be over confident because the

421
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: reason that the Brady one, the reason Brady didn't have

422
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 1: a good game. Of course the Cowboys defense was doing well,

423
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 1: but the conditions themselves handcuffed any offensive efforts that you had.

424
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: So if you're gonna come buy of that game with

425
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 1: a win, then you have to be careful thinking, Okay,

426
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: those conditions will not be duplicated anywhere else. Yeah, and

427
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: that's that's so funny. We had our biggest game, our

428
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: biggest statement game. While we're playing in the rain, Well,

429
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: nobody can get any foot and it's all like a

430
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: comedy out there. In efforts and as far as offensive

431
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: efforts to consent, I think why Bill said when they

432
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: meet again, to be in perfect I wish you could

433
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: have been, because you really couldn't see their team and

434
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: do what they do and with a just a little digging.

435
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: So the kickoff Pollard shouldn't have been at a goal line,

436
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: at least the ten yard line. But the idea was

437
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: where they put Old Wally was the guy that was

438
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: the safety net. If it was a pop up short kick,

439
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: he was supposed to catch it, and he jumped out

440
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: of the way. He didn't catch the ball, So I

441
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: understand the Pollard part, but they had another contingency plan

442
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: there and he for some reason he didn't catch it.

443
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: Now I don't know if he got called off for now.

444
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: So here's how I heard someone talking the other day

445
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: and maybe not put a full back there from talking

446
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 1: the other day, and they said anything that goes on

447
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: on the field, special teams, I think it was I

448
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: called the guy's name, but they said, anything that goes

449
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 1: on wall on the field, it's on Jason Gatt right, right,

450
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: special teams, it's on Jason kid. Right, he didn't catch

451
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: the ball. That's Jason Gabb's fault. And then is that

452
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: is that fair? Yeah? No, it's not fair. Right, At

453
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 1: some point the player has to take some responsibility, right,

454
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: that's always. And he didn't call him out, He just

455
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: said we didn't handle it. Right, okay, on the block punt.

456
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: Here's what happened. The Patriots had three guys lined up

457
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: to the Cowboys left of Latissor, so they had three

458
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: guys there. The Cowboys had like two and a half.

459
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 1: But Armstrong was the half guy and he was supposed

460
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 1: to go in and take the next guy, and then

461
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas was supposed to go out and take the

462
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: next guy, and Jarwin took the outside guy. Well, what

463
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: happened was, now, remember Joe Thomas didn't practice all week. Right,

464
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: right's sick. He was sick, and his alignment was he

465
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: didn't have to worry about the guy on his right

466
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 1: shoulder because that was Armstrong's guy. He was supposed to

467
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: take Slater, and we're looking at it now. He was

468
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: supposed to take Slater and he lined up head up

469
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: on him instead of shading to the outside because he

470
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,479
Speaker 1: had help with the guy to his right, and so

471
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: he didn't line up properly, and he didn't blame That's

472
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: all the difference a step because look when he blocked it,

473
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: he's hand and he backhands. Ye, So Keith o'quinn's fault,

474
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 1: you know, And and I'm not gonna blame I know

475
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: he didn't practice all week, but they were ready for

476
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: that and they and I said, did they line him

477
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: up somewhere different? No, they put him all over the place.

478
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: But you know, when he's in front of you, better

479
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: take care of him. So and then you get a

480
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: block a black point the first down play on the

481
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: fourteen yard line. Okay, if two guys would have made

482
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: their blocks, that play would have worked. Ola Wally kind

483
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: of touched the linebacker and then he went to go

484
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 1: get the safety. Well, the linebacker is the one that

485
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,479
Speaker 1: messed it up, and then the other one was on

486
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,919
Speaker 1: the outside Gallup didn't get his block on the corner

487
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: and those two guys came free. Otherwise that play's going.

488
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: You mean the last field goal drive that they had. Yeah, okay,

489
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: that plays first three yards. Because we hadn't seen that,

490
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: and I said it yesterday. I say, why would you

491
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 1: run that play? You didn't run it all day and

492
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: they're playing all these linebackers. Well, if those guys make

493
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: that block, that thing's going. But you don't and you

494
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: don't see that. It's like, well, why did you call

495
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: that play? I said it right. Then you go back

496
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: and look at it and it's like, ah, well, I

497
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: mean make you could You could almost call out any

498
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: play where because somebody everybody is designed to work. Yeah,

499
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 1: every defense is made for interceptions from what I heard,

500
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: but when I get them, except for except for tripping,

501
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: you know. And one thing on the Jerry's comments after

502
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 1: the game is I think part of it too, is

503
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 1: he sending a message to his team that the bar

504
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: is up here. Okay, this team is supposed to when

505
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: you go to New England. I expect you to win

506
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: at New England. Okay, we're not gonna be satisfied. It's

507
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: a significant setback because we are expected to come in here.

508
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: I don't care if it is that Bill Belichick and

509
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. We I'm expecting you to win

510
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: this game. And that's a good point, and well say that,

511
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,479
Speaker 1: but then he comes out and says, well you expect

512
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 1: to get out, coach, Yeah, right, so you know you guys.

513
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: But I think his point on that is you expect

514
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: that they're gonna be very well. He did say that

515
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna be very well. Ben. You have to match that,

516
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: and you have to play a clean game. That's right.

517
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: Games they've lost, they haven't played clean games. Whether it's defensively,

518
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: offensively with turnovers, penalties, or in the special teams game.

519
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's a lot, it's largely execution. But I

520
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,239
Speaker 1: mean Jason Garrett has said when everything's a reflection of me,

521
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,959
Speaker 1: whether you know, when they have success, it's preparation and coaching,

522
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: and when they don't have success, it does go back

523
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: to the coaching staff on some level. Always. You got

524
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: to say that, and some of the more crucial moments

525
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: in our games tripping aside, we have killed ourselves. We

526
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: have heard ourselves in the games that we've lost. We

527
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: put ourselves in the hole. Nothing about what they've done.

528
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: It's always about what we've done to ourselves. So this

529
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: team that comes from coaching, Your preparation has to be there.

530
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: You have to know when you're playing special teams. Guys,

531
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: this is not the time to hold. There's no holding

532
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: on special teams right now because we want to be No,

533
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: we don't want to be inside the twenty five. Okay,

534
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: if that goes in the end zone, we're good, but

535
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: we're not gonna have it going the endzone. Then you're holding.

536
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: Now we're at the thirteen yard line with these kind

537
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: of things, happen over and over again for this team

538
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: in the losses that we have, and we were not

539
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: able to overcome them. So you take away if your

540
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: coach better, if your coach better, then you have a

541
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: few of these you're the crucial moments are not so

542
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: crucial now because you you have taken care of business beforehand.

543
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: And by the way, they've got everything right in front

544
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: of them right now, they still do. They They've got

545
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: five games left in this season and it is all

546
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: there for the taking for them, and this so difficult

547
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: schedule in the second half of the season. You look

548
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: at the records that now Buffalo's got an eight and

549
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: three records. I think that's another record, okay, and they're

550
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: they're eight and three. This is to my point. Then

551
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: what's Chicago's record right now? They're five and six, okay?

552
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: And then you got the Rams. After getting blown out

553
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: forty five to six by the Ravens last week last night,

554
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: the Rams are now six and five on the season.

555
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: Two playoff teams from a year ago that have struggled

556
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: this strict and one of the Eagles. They're five and

557
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: six right now. I mean, these are five hundred teams

558
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: that you're that you're facing down the stretch. You got

559
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: everything in front of you. Starting on Thursday. I guess

560
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills team that is eight and three on

561
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: the season. We're tripping when we come back here on

Speaker 1: of other things that Jerry said on the radio this morning. Yeah.

605
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: I think one was for um for Everson. Oh okay,

606
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: you think he's been listening to Ever Talking Cowboys now

607
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,480

608
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: said at the time, and he said he didn't understand it.

609
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: But Jerry repeated it today, saying that when you're in

610
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: charge of a team and you always got things coming up,

611
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:28,280
Speaker 1: it's like having two handfuls of jello in one hand

612
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: and once you think could keep it from falling off

613
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: on the left side of your handing squirms through your

614
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: fingers on the rock. At the end, he went back

615
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: to the jello. You were just talking about it. You know,

616
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: That's why I said, you know for ever clarification, I

617
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 1: love you once again. What do you and Jamie do again?

618
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: Jello trying to figuring this out and that pie involved

619
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: was that jello? Yeah, And then he talked about how,

620
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: uh he was a proponent back in the day when

621
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: um Troy Aikman had trouble throwing wet footballs uh that

622
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:13,879
Speaker 1: he was uh proposing to the competition committee to have

623
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 1: more balls when it's wet out and he kept saying

624
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: more balls. And I don't know if they listened to

625
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: him or not. He said he even brought Troy Aikman

626
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: into explain that they, you know, you have to have

627
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: balls that are in try can't wet balls, can't have

628
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:35,800
Speaker 1: balls out balls out right? Is that a babe drop?

629
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: That's babe yeh? All right? That was their timely intervening.

630
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 1: Speaking of tripping, okay tripping. Asked about tripping. You know what,

631
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 1: I think the NFL listened to our podcast. Think they

632
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: must have because they said, actually the guys thought it

633
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: was so obvious or maybe they actually watched the game

634
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: as opposed to just doing it while they are watching

635
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: the game. Believable and saying, guy could make those two

636
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 1: calls and basically the NFL yesterday said, yep, those sore

637
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: phantom calls. Thank you, I mean, come on that's I

638
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: knew that was coming out. I knew it was coming

639
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: out yesterday, and I was just as upset reading it,

640
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 1: hearing it and going back to it as as he

641
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: relived huge calls. It's not like they were just like

642
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: a second and eight call. No, this was third down calls.

643
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 1: The third down call at the second one, and the

644
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: first one leads into the block punt, by the way,

645
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: because it was second and thirteen and you got a

646
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 1: ten yard tripping call made it third and twenty three.

647
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: So now you've backed up, and now you know you're

648
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,399
Speaker 1: gonna punt, right, who's gonna pick up third and twenty three? Right?

649
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: It's a killer penalty, and that guy's gonna work next week.

650
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 1: I mean, if you meant, if you've advanced to this

651
00:36:54,800 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 1: level in this profession of working a National Football League game,

652
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: how can you miss those two calls? It's inexcusable. It's

653
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 1: not once again it was gray. It wasn't gray. There

654
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 1: was nothing there, but once again that it's something they

655
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: were forewarned by. I'm sure the Patriot, Sure you're right,

656
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: coaching staff. And so when you start looking for something

657
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 1: that is not there, then yeah, I think that's egregious,

658
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. You've you've already been warned about it,

659
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,280
Speaker 1: and I'm sure that that that's something that they probably

660
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: have to put on the record, right, we can we

661
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: can go into a impeachment inquiry on that. I mean,

662
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: let's let's do some research here. I'm sure they documented

663
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: when they had the conversation, when they got the tip. Okay,

664
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, here comes the stunt. I'm

665
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: sure they Yeah, something from the sidelines, you know, the

666
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: phantom yell, you know, the rip gate. That was it.

667
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: The whistle came, the whistle blow came. They're like, okay,

668
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: now you get ready, and then that came to done. Yeah,

669
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: referee years were picked up. That was it. And the

670
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,919
Speaker 1: worst part was the flag came in after the play

671
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: was over. It was done. Yeah. But you know what,

672
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: people are going to credit Bill Belichick for alerting the

673
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 1: officials ahead of time and that and that's the genius

674
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 1: of Bill Belichi. But I guarantee you there are every

675
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: team in the league has something that they tell the officials, Hey,

676
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,720
Speaker 1: look for this, look for that stuff from their film study.

677
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: Uh and prepare. So do you think that depending on

678
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 1: what the coach's, uh, credits are that? What the credentials are?

679
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: The coach? The yeah, you know what Jason said. So

680
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: Jason's go talk to the raft and he's like, oh whatever,

681
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: but the Greek. Yeah. One day somebody asked, Jason, do

682
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: you ever go to the ref and say hey, watch this, this,

683
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: and this. He goes, yeah, I used to do it,

684
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,800
Speaker 1: and he goes in. Invariably they would call that on

685
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 1: us when I called them, hey, watched they do this,

686
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: and then they watched and called it on us. So

687
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: he said, I gave that up. That's just the cowboy

688
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: stuff being cowboys. That's it, that's it. We are so unique?

689
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: Is too just ridiculous. We got five minutes left in

690
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: the show and there's a game that a little over

691
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,919
Speaker 1: forty eight hours away. Now the Buffalo Bills will look

692
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: into the Buffalo Bills tomorrow. That's the homework assignment. But

693
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 1: just on the surface, what concerns you the most about

694
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. I think just the overall attitude that

695
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: they have, very tough attitude. We talk about what the

696
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: Cowboys don't have as a culture of what they're trying

697
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: to build where they're not there yet. But you want

698
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: to have that culture of good defense. Not many high

699
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: scoring games at all, so they don't make many mistakes.

700
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: They're kind of up and down offensively. The quarterback is

701
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: very young, of course, and he's got some talent around him.

702
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 1: But I don't see them being consistent. They haven't been

703
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: consistent all year, and I hope they continue that trend

704
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: to being inconsistent. You know. The only I was looking

705
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: at this the only games they scored more than twenty

706
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:05,760
Speaker 1: seven points just happened to be against the Miami Dolphins,

707
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:09,720
Speaker 1: they scored thirty one one twenty one, and they scored

708
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 1: thirty seven thirty seven twenty they won. The most they

709
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: scored prior that was at Carolina and against Minnesota with

710
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 1: twenty seven points. So the majority of their games it's

711
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: twenty four seventeen, you know, fourteen. So yeah, they haven't

712
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: been a prolific offense, but they've played well defensively. Yeah,

713
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: solid defense. Josh Allen Everson mentioned young guy, but he's

714
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: done a he had a pick last week against Denver,

715
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: but overall he's done a better job as the season's

716
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: gone on of taking care of the ball. He's got

717
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: some weapons on offense. He can run two. That's where

718
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 1: I was going huge. That tackling is gonna be another

719
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,879
Speaker 1: deal for this defense this week, because you know they're young.

720
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary, they're young running back is getting more and

721
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: more featured with Frank Gore one hundred yard game last week.

722
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 1: He's a he's an impressive young back. And then obviously

723
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: this grambling ability with Alan and they use him on

724
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: some design runs. To think Jeff Driscoll a couple of

725
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 1: weeks ago with Detroit, they've got to be on point

726
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: the short dage or they're looking at like power sweeps

727
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:14,399
Speaker 1: like old school USC coming out with the quarterback behind them. Well,

728
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: he scored. He leads the team with seven touchdowns. Wow,

729
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 1: he is huge. He's a he's a big and he's

730
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: he's not scared. He'll he'll he'll try linebacker dB, he'll

731
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: try to put his head down. How about Devin Singletary

732
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 1: averages five point eight yards of carry and his longest

733
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: carry is only twenty three yards, so it's not like

734
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:37,800
Speaker 1: he's has a seventy yarder that has inflated that yards

735
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 1: per carry. It's five point eight. He's got. The game

736
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: plan is extremely meticulous. It's the standard old school, We're

737
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: gonna come out here and run first, establish a good defense.

738
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: You know, the same things that pretty much the the

739
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 1: cookie cutter strategy for a lot of teams in NFL. Okay,

740
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 1: the College Football Playoff Committee is meeting right now in Grapevine, Okay.

741
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: And so you know, they look at every team's potential

742
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 1: team that gets into the fourteen playoff. They looked, Okay,

743
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: what's your signature win? All right? I'm thinking if they're

744
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:12,399
Speaker 1: looking at the Buffalo Bill's schedule and they're wins this year,

745
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: kind of to Everson's point earlier that he's not that

746
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: impressed with the eight and three record, what would be

747
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: their signature win? They beat the Jets in the season

748
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: opener seventeen sixteen, They beat and they had Darnold, I guess.

749
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: Then they beat the Giants twenty eight fourteen. No, they

750
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 1: beat the Bengals twenty one seventeen. No, they beat they Okay,

751
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 1: then they lost to the Patriots sixteen to ten. That

752
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 1: might be their signature win. That was a loss. Tennessee

753
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 1: they beat fourteen to seven. Now Tennessee's playing better now,

754
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: but fourteen seven. They beat the Dolphins thirty one twenty

755
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:50,439
Speaker 1: one and who haven't seen one yet Philadelphia, they lost

756
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 1: thirty one thirteen. They beat the red Skins twenty four

757
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,879
Speaker 1: to nine. No, that's nuts. They only have They lost

758
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:00,439
Speaker 1: to the Browns nineteen sixteen. They beat the Dolphins seven

759
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: twenty and they beat the Broncos twenty to three. So
