I woke up early this morning and no hangover. 12 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: I felt good. I didn't have to drink myself to 13 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: sleep last night. It seemed like everything involved with the 14 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: Cowboy world was good. Jason Witt called a touchdown day. 15 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: I'm taking credit for that. Bryant called Bryant classon pass. 16 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: Thank you, Bill. I mean, look at the NFC East. 17 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: I think three of the fourteens actually all one game 18 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 1: winning street in the FCST. So come on, man, everything 19 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: is back with the world. Ceedee Lamb. Best catch of 20 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: the Year, bar Nuns I love it, man, I love 21 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: and uh So Everson picked the Cowboys to win. I 22 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: picked the Cowboys to win, and Mickey Spagnola, what did 23 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: you do on Friday? I was precluded from picking them 24 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: to win because I said I wouldn't pick them to 25 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: win until they won two straight. So I got I 26 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: got to pick them to lose on Thanksgiving. Have you noticed, though, 27 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: when I start picking them to lose, their play has 28 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: picked up week by week by week, right, yes, it has. 29 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 1: I think have we discovered the key here? The defense 30 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,959 Speaker 1: is offended by your gall the fact that you have 31 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: the goal to pick against. They were. They were so 32 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,959 Speaker 1: offended they gave up four hundred and thirty yards and 33 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: twenty eight points. What did I tell you, SPACs? It's 34 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 1: all about situations. Right when it came down to it, 35 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: the last drive, the Cowboys were battened a thousand Kirk 36 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: Cousins didn't know what hit him. We finally came to 37 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: play that last drive of the game. Defense they had 38 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 1: already settled in finally with two minutes left to go 39 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: in the game. Actually it was the last two drives 40 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,119 Speaker 1: because the time to drive before they got the ball 41 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: back for the offense with four minutes to go to 42 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: drive down for what turned out to be the winning touchdown, 43 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: and then with a minute thirty seven left, I believe 44 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: it was, they actually closed the game for a change, 45 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 1: which is something they haven't been doing so far this year, 46 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: or by the way, not many times last year either. 47 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: But they ended up getting a four and so yeah, 48 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: but when we win, it is it is such a 49 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: good It's like the sun is shining brighter all of 50 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: a sudden. Nationally, we're back on the national stage in 51 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: a positive level. On a positive level, we got a 52 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: chance to play for first place in less than four days. 53 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: Come on, man, life is good. You know, the best, 54 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: the best news of all. We're on that national stage, 55 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: and we get Joe Buck and Troy Aikman calling the 56 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: game on third on this Thursday and the following Thursday too. 57 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: That's what I was saying throughout the game. No matter 58 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: how it turned out, at least we're getting Bucking Aikman 59 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: the next two games. We didn't. They didn't even manage 60 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: to get DJ in that game. You got you got promoted. Yes, 61 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: I know you're talking about Moose. Yeah he got promoted. 62 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: So yeah, so yeah, that's exactly right. Yeah, now's we're 63 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: gonna see him. We're back. That's all we needed, was right. 64 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: That's right. So here we are on a victory Monday, 65 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: and there's so much to talk about. We need more 66 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,119 Speaker 1: than forty five minutes. Mickey, where would you like to start? 67 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: You already kind of started on the defensive side of 68 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: the football. But you know, the other thing that is 69 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: remarkable is how much different things play out strategically when 70 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: you actually get a lead in the first half of 71 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 1: a game. Bar have a seasoned veteran playing quarterback for 72 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 1: you that you actually uh protected at a decent rate. 73 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 1: For a change, I thought that they were able to 74 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: open up the playbook be much more multiple on offense. Uh. 75 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: The offensive line uh performed probably the best it's performed 76 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: in weeks. And everybody's gonna say, well, yeah, it was 77 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: the move they finally moved Zach Martin to write tackle. Well, 78 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: they moved Zach Martin to right tackle when they felt 79 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: comfortable with Connor McGovern playing right guard. H And that 80 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: was the key to that. Uh. Listening to Stephen Jones 81 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: this morning on his radio segment, when they asked him 82 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: about to move, his first response was, yeah, Connor McGovern 83 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: has been getting better and better and better and felt 84 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: like he can handle right guard. So that allowed them 85 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: to kick Martin out to write tackle. I think that 86 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: was key. H And as an offensive line they played 87 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 1: much better. I think what Dalton was sacked just twice 88 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 1: twice or once in the game. Yeah, and that was 89 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: his fault because he hung onto the ball far too long. 90 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: But other than that, the protection is good and it's like, oh, 91 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: Zeke woke up. Yeah, Zeke woke up. The offensive line 92 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: block better. Uh They all of a sudden, the opposing 93 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: team had to worry about the run. They ran for 94 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty yards. You know that kind of 95 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: got lost in the shuffle. They ran on the team 96 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: that runs. Uh so, I just him one hundred and 97 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 1: eighty two. I think it was one hundred and forty, 98 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty five. Uh so I and I 99 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: thought Mike McCarthy and and Ceedee Lamb hit the nail 100 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 1: on the head. McCarthy kept talking about how what a 101 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 1: team win it was, and Ceedee Lamb said the game 102 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: of football is complimentary play, and he meant offense defense 103 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: special teams when the when the offense scores, defenses got 104 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: to pick up or when they don't score. And how 105 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: about this, They got takeaways and actually scored after both 106 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: a touchdown and a field goal, which is something they 107 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: had kept previously right, and that touchdown on after the 108 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: first fumble recovery, it was a thirty yard drive. It 109 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: was the shortest drive all season long for a touchdown. 110 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: Prior to that, they had no drives left than sixty 111 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: five yards for a touchdown. So they complimented each other. 112 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: And then you get a great play like you got 113 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: from CD Lamb, and like I said, you got professional 114 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: quarterback play finally at the quarterback position since Dak went 115 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: out and all of a sudden, you look up and 116 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: you go, oh, gotta win. Scored thirty one points. How 117 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: about that the most points they scored since what the 118 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: Giants game? And actually the most touchdowns they scored since 119 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: they matched it the Giants game. And they scored more 120 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: touchdowns in one game than they had totaled in the 121 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: last three. Wow. And you know, when you look at 122 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: their game, guys, what I liked about it was, yes, 123 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: the defense they played loosely so to speak, but there 124 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: were no quick points. There were no quick drives, quick 125 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: a quick scoring opportunity, and when this isn't taken advantage 126 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: of about the offense, that kind of demoralizes your defense. 127 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: And I like the way we hung in there on 128 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: every drive. Yes, we gave up some rushing yards, and 129 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: oh my goodness, was I the smartest person in the 130 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: world last week when I said Kirk Cousins was gonna 131 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: have a Harbor game. This guy comes out was twenty five. 132 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: He was killing it three touchdowns and I'm like, what 133 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: the heck is going on? And yet even with that, 134 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: we were still able to defensively, How could I put it? 135 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 1: We didn't just lay down. There's something to be said 136 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: of resistance. I enjoyed watching the defiance by our defense 137 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: on the goal line. Yes they scored, but it took 138 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: him a minute. And boy, you're talking about somebody bringing 139 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: the hat with him? Is it Donovan Wilson? I always 140 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: get this guy's name messed up. Donovan Wilson was bringing 141 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: his hat to work on Sunday. I loved that physicality because, yes, 142 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: Cook was still getting his yards, but we were very 143 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:35,079 Speaker 1: active defensively, and anything that Minnesota was able to accomplish 144 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: in that game, they had to earn it and to me. 145 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 1: I can take that for a defense. I know we're 146 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: not necessarily that talented on defense, especially in our secondary, 147 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 1: but those guys for a tooth and nail was just 148 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: a couple of technique issues in our secondary. This is 149 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: something that just has always bothered me with our secondary. 150 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: Tom Landry had the flex defense, which I hated because 151 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: it it is not a defensive backs friend. But the 152 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: best tip you could give for the flex defense because 153 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: it plays against the run and they're getting you ready 154 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: for the play action pass. That's what the flex defense 155 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 1: is all about. It gets you ready for the play action. 156 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: The cornerbacks in a play action pass must be deep 157 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 1: and inside shoulder coverage. We have never talked about this, guys. 158 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 1: That's why our defensive backs in the eighties would give 159 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 1: up sidelines because it was by design. If you give 160 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: up a sideline, you can live to play another day. 161 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: If you give up the inside of the field, you 162 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: can go all the way for a touchdown with any 163 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: slant or inside route. For some reason, technically speaking, we 164 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: do not have our defensive backs play inside. You must 165 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: play inside on the blitz, and especially on a play 166 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: action pass. That's where you're going to get hurt, and 167 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: you've seen it all year long. I don't know why 168 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: no one makes the adjustment. You get a yawn inside 169 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,839 Speaker 1: if you have to, but just make sure that this 170 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: guy doesn't run all the way across the field. Well, 171 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,199 Speaker 1: no one is there to help you. But even with 172 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: all of that, we hung in there. Of course we've 173 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: been going to give up some plays, but we hung 174 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: in there just long enough to allow the offense to 175 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 1: control the ball game with Zeke, Elliott and Pollo. Great win, 176 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 1: textbook win. For me, it was all facets of the game, 177 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 1: you know. There for a little bit. They were long 178 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: drives that the Vikings put together to start the third quarters, 179 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 1: in fact, three in a row, three touchdown drives. But 180 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: they seem to be getting quicker as we went held 181 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: long and I was like, okay, we're reverting back here 182 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: to what we've seen too much in the past. And 183 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: then finally they got the stop which gave the offense 184 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: a chance. But I mean, then you look at the 185 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: third quarter and the Cowboys. How many plays the Cowboys 186 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: run in the third quarter like sixth place to twenty 187 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: for the Vikings, Yeah, third quarter, you know, and they 188 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: had the quick Uh what I seventy five yard five 189 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 1: play drive that resulted in the Justin Jefferson touchdown after 190 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: the Tony Pollard touchdown run that gave the Cowboys the league. 191 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 1: So back and forth we go in the fourth quarter 192 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: and uh, and then it came down to crunch time 193 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: in the final four minutes. Offense came through, defense came through, 194 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: and we walk away. Uh. Sitting here on a Monday, uh, 195 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 1: a half game out of first place in a division 196 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: that has four teams with three wins ten games into 197 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: the season. Not for long baby, and four wins coming 198 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: up and playing coming place on Thanksgiving Day against them 199 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: Redskins against that football Washington's the Washington I did, I 200 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: did look it up. They've played They've played the Washington 201 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: football team nine times on Thanksgiving and one eight of them. 202 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: M and I was notable was the Drew Pearson guy. 203 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: What was the quarterback's name? I'm getting old Bill, Come on, 204 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: come on to Drew Pierson. That's one of the best 205 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: Thanksgivings ever. So here we go with another one. All right, funny, 206 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 1: you got a couple of minutes the funny, funny story 207 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: about that funny story about that game. Uh. So it 208 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: was the night before the Cowboys played Washington. It might 209 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: have been a Sunday night game or Monday night game, 210 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: and was having an after dinner drink in Georgetown, and uh, 211 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 1: some guys start talking with us, found out what we did, 212 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: and uh, he said, yeah, he goes that that that 213 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: Clinton Longley guy, he spoiled my Thanksgiving.

And he goes and I'm 216 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 1: still mad at this has got to be thirty years later, 217 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,119 Speaker 1: right that the guy was still upset about Clint Longley's 218 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: replacing starback after he suffered the concussion and came to Uh, 219 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: what was it the victory of the victory Uncluttered Mind 220 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: or something like the Uncluttered Mind?

Yes, the football team comes in 280 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: here after winning over Cincinnati on Sunday to improve to 281 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: three and seven themselves, and they knocked Joe Burrow, a 282 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: number one overall pick out for the season now with 283 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 1: a torn acl that was a brutal hit to see. 284 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: You know, It's every week you'll seeing players go down 285 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: all across the league, and it really shows you what 286 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: a survival of the fittest game this is. And what 287 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: a marathon it is really as well, you know, and 288 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,679 Speaker 1: people will rag on the NFC East and how brutal 289 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: a division it's been, you know, through the first ten 290 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: games of the season, but it is what it is, 291 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 1: and it's there for the taking the last six games now. 292 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: And so I like the fact that we're sitting here 293 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: with with some tangible games, meaningful games to play, and 294 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 1: a couple of them here in the span of a 295 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: week's time from Thursday to Thursday against Washington in Baltimore, 296 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: where we're going to figure out a lot more about 297 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 1: this football team and how it is currently constituted, because 298 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: it's obviously this Cowboys team is a different team than 299 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: what it was two months ago. You know, Bill, You're 300 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: you're exactly right. When you get Andy Dalton back on 301 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 1: the field, you get an offensive line that maybe I 302 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,880 Speaker 1: don't want to jinx them, but might start the same 303 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: five guys two weeks in a row. If all goes 304 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 1: well between now and Thursday, you're seeing a little bit 305 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: better play there. You get the running game going, it 306 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: gets the passing game going. Uh. It's just as as 307 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb said, complementary football. Uh and and and the 308 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 1: defense as Everson said, they may have given up the point, 309 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: given up the points, given up the yards, but they 310 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: made plays and that's what this game of football is about. 311 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: You've got to make plays. And they made some plays 312 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 1: for a change and made life tough on a Vikings 313 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 1: team that had won three consecutive games, which, by the way, 314 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: it goes back to my my theory, right, the more 315 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: the more you lose in a row, the closer you're 316 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: out of winning. And the more you win in a row, 317 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: the closer you're out of losing. That's why it's tough 318 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: for me to see Pittsburgh at ten and old. Yeah, 319 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: I'm waiting on them to lose because I mean, they 320 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: had a chance to lose here in Dallas. And you know, 321 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 1: one other thing about this win, guys, I didn't even 322 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: really realize it until I'm sitting there because the field, 323 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: you know, it looked good. It looked like our field 324 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 1: in Arlington. We played as if we were at home, 325 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: you know. And I get it that the crowd is 326 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: different now because the pandemic and all of that, but 327 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: you know, there's still a familiarity with whatever stadium you 328 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: go into, and the Cowboys played very comfortably. You never 329 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 1: saw them in a panic situation. Even though the defense 330 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: was giving up some plays, they made some two turnovers 331 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 1: made a difference in this ball game. And when we 332 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 1: talk about all the things that we may have done wrong, 333 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: Spags during the break, you talked about not having a linebacker. 334 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: The three linebackers in the game, you've got the defensive 335 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: man trying to guard one or two very accomplished tight 336 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: ends and who were having a great game at that time. 337 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 1: We did so many things I think to beat ourselves, 338 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: but yet we would not allow ourselves to do it, 339 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 1: because the pace of the game was ours to control. 340 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 1: And we came out doing that on the the initial 341 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: drive and without with a stall in the third quarter. 342 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: We continued that train the thought defensively and offensively. And Bill, 343 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: you know, I was I was mentioning having Andy Dalton 344 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: back on the field, and by no means was he perfect. Uh. 345 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: He had a couple throws that I'm sure he wanted back. 346 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: The interception. Yeah, you know, if he just leads the guy, Uh, 347 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 1: you know, he's got a big play. He had another 348 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: play to Dalton shows that he was wide open and 349 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 1: he went somewhere else with the ball. Uh. And and 350 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: I think he and he missed Cdee Lamb on what 351 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 1: would have been a touchdown. But but other than that, 352 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: right even the ball was in the air, I started 353 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: moaning watching it because I could see it's like, I said, 354 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: you missed him? What are you doing? Yeah, it was 355 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 1: like And then there was the most fantastic catch. I 356 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: don't think I've seen a guy contort his body the 357 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: way he did and twist himself back from catching the 358 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: like he was going to catch the ball over his 359 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,199 Speaker 1: left shoulder to have to adjust and do a one 360 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: eighty and turn around to the right shoulder and falling backwards, 361 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: yet still have enough height to go up and get 362 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: the ball. And then he hung on and the hands 363 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 1: and the hands to hang on as he hit the ground. 364 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: The only other catch out seemed like that is the 365 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: ob j K against us, which was in Today's the 366 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: anniversary Today's the anniversary of that catch. Wow. Yeah, it's amazing. 367 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: And that was more amazing because it was a deeper 368 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: pass and of course harder to judge, and Brandon Carr 369 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,239 Speaker 1: was all over him, just like the dB was all 370 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: over Cede Lamb. So except you know what, go back 371 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: the same impact ever since you go back and look 372 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: at that O. B J ketch like I did today, 373 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,199 Speaker 1: and you can make a case of a little offensive 374 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 1: PI there on Beckham is you know, Brandon Carr wound 375 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: up on his backside and you know, I'm not saying 376 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 1: it should have been called, but you could make the 377 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: they he kind of caught his arm and that's why 378 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 1: Carr went flailing on the play. Yeah, yeah, and so 379 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: it was a fight. It was a fight, right, Yeah, 380 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: it shouldn't have been called, but yeah, yeah, that's right. 381 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,439 Speaker 1: But but I'm with you. When Mickey was talking about 382 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: what CD did on this catch, Odell did the same 383 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 1: kind of stuff on that catch to make it and 384 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: this one, I mean, you can just see what hens 385 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,199 Speaker 1: that CD has because as you mentioned Everson, I mean, 386 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: he's hitting the ground at the same time he has 387 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:55,400 Speaker 1: got to hold onto that football, and the jarring collision 388 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 1: with the ground would be enough to separate a lot 389 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: of people unless you got some really strong hands, which 390 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,919 Speaker 1: CD obviously does, all right, and I mean we got 391 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: we got other people with eighty eighths that we've had 392 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: on this squad, But that catch right there reminded me 393 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: of Deaz more than anybody else. We've had some great 394 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 1: eighty eighths on this team, but that play with the 395 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 1: physicality and just it's like Dennis Robin going for a rebound. 396 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: That's a fifty fifty ball. I want this and it's mine. 397 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: That to me, that just shows how good you've always 398 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 1: talked about in the bill. Ceedee Lamb's the man. He 399 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: is the man. Well, I've been watching him since he 400 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: was a freshman at Ou and back then everyone was 401 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: talking about Marquise Hollywood Brown. Take nothing away from him, 402 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: but I thought, I said, you know, Brown came out 403 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: and he was a first round draft pick of the Ravens, 404 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: and I was telling people, you ate this, Cede Lamb 405 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,360 Speaker 1: is better than him, and you know, and the other thing, 406 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 1: you know, And then he said his moments this season 407 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: already where there's been some rookie stuff, you know, or 408 00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 1: dropped past and whatever. So he's gonna have and all 409 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: receivers are going to have moments like that. But this 410 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: is a game that the Cowboys really needed to have, 411 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: and he stepped up not only with that play, but 412 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 1: in other ways. They were able to use him in 413 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 1: the run game, the two point conversion run and that 414 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 1: you know two carries for twelve yards and his physicality 415 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: that he plays with. I texted a friend then I said, 416 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 1: take nothing away from Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup, but 417 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: I think CD's the best receiver on this team. I 418 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: mean at the at the snap, at the snap, I'm 419 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 1: looking to see where is Lamb lining up and because 420 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: I want to watch him, and Bill on a side 421 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 1: note on him. So that was his second catch in 422 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: the game. That catch tied Bob Hayes single season record 423 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 1: for a rookie at forty six, and then he went 424 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: on and caught two more in the game and broke 425 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: the record ten games in Remember Bob was playing I 426 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 1: guess fourteen games at that point when he set the 427 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 1: record at forty six. But this kid, in ten games 428 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: has broken the record. H He has forty eight catches now. 429 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 1: So just a little hysterically one of them guys. One 430 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: other thing about him six passes as a rookie in 431 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: Tom Landry's offense. That's saying a lot as well. That's 432 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: saying a lot about bullet Bob hay is the fact 433 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: that Tom Landry will throw it to a rookie that 434 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 1: many times in a in an era of football that 435 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 1: wasn't pass happy the way we are right now. That's 436 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 1: probably I wonder what his yards for catchwor get him 437 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:42,919 Speaker 1: been merriedth probably didn't get a last one other one 438 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: other note on the CD that I love about him 439 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: so much is he is so tough. I mean he 440 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: he will take a hit and he'll can it doesn't 441 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: phase him, and he will deliver hits. I mean he 442 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: is such a tough physical receiver. I mean, you mentioned 443 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 1: Bryan and does has that same some of those same qualities. 444 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 1: But Michael Irvin another eighty eight. Uh, you know, CD's 445 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 1: got the same kind of toughness that Irvin had. And Bill, 446 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,399 Speaker 1: did you see what he did when he scored on 447 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 1: the two point conversion? He stopped immediately in the end zone, 448 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: threw the ball, the referee turned around and went back 449 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,399 Speaker 1: to the bench. He's a lot maturer than Time to 450 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,640 Speaker 1: go to work. Yeah, we got work to do here. 451 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: It's time to work, that's right, No no celebrations. We 452 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: got more work to do. That's what I liked about 453 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: the whole attitude. That was the attitude about the entire 454 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 1: team defensively and offensively. Nothing's gonna be perfect, and they 455 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: have to win every game like this. Now, you know 456 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: you can't just say and we you know I've said 457 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: it earlier, the three facets of the game. We have 458 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: to have all facts of this game. And that's the 459 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: that's the beauty of a good team. I love teams 460 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 1: like that, to where your special team's coach he wants 461 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: some of his glory, your offensive coordinator wants blood. By 462 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 1: the way, keller More did a great job with some 463 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: of a play calling yesterday and two book versions. Hell 464 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,719 Speaker 1: of a play. You know. I was a little disappointed 465 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: that coach McCarthy decided to go for the field goal 466 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: where we had that fourth down, and I thought there 467 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: was interest. I was a disappointed in that, but otherwise 468 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: I thought the entire game plan was built towards winning, 469 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: and when we did make mistakes, no one lamented on it. 470 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: We came back out and we played That third quarter 471 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: was horrible, and we said forget the third quarter. We 472 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: came out in the fourth quarter and re established ourselves 473 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: to go and win this ball game. So it's the 474 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: resolve of the team that is just as important as 475 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 1: the game plan that you installed. So let's hope that 476 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: this resolve stays at where it is with this cowboy team. 477 00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,719 Speaker 1: And you know, to emphasize your point, ever said they 478 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 1: had to come from behind three times to be able 479 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 1: to win this game. And the irony of this whole 480 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: thing is if you remember early in the year and 481 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: I can't remember which game it was, and they got 482 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: accused of quitting, right, and then you got all the 483 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: fans out there wanting them to quit because they want 484 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: a better draft choice. And the dog gone team they 485 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 1: wouldn't quit. They kept coming back and coming back, and 486 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 1: they didn't on the road. Let anything that went wrong 487 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: get them down in the dumps. There you go, And um, 488 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: all right, you want to get into Dalton and you 489 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: want to get into the run game. I'll just say 490 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: this about Kellen Moore also, and this is this kind 491 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: of gets us into the run game too. I love 492 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: the play call to Zeke on the touchdown pass to 493 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 1: start the game with the two tight ends out there 494 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: leading the way him into the end zone too. Yep. 495 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 1: And I didn't know that Zeke. I didn't know Zeke 496 00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: had a little option quarterback in him. That was a 497 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 1: nice little pitch, you know, he froze him in bone. 498 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 1: That's pretty smooth, easy catch, easy score. I mean, earlier 499 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: in the season we have taken these golden opportunities and 500 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: just turned him into crop. But not this game. And 501 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: that's what you have to have a feeling of optimism. Hey, 502 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 1: here's another thing, another thing that on the goal line 503 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: on the setting up the touchdown pass to Schultz, he 504 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: remember the play before that, CD came in motion to 505 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: the deep, you know, angling back behind the running backs 506 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 1: in the backfield, and I believe it, Jonathan Vilma said 507 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: on the broadcast. He didn't understand why they took Lamb 508 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: out of a play like that. I don't even remember 509 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 1: the play myself right now, But what I did think 510 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 1: of after that is, and ever since, you can tell 511 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: me better, all right, the reasons for putting a receiver 512 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 1: in motion like that. You're able to see what the 513 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 1: defense is doing and where they're in man's own whatever 514 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: it might be. I'm wondering if that motion on that 515 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 1: play set up in any way, what went on on 516 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: what turned out to be the touchdown pass to Schultz 517 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 1: on the very next play. I'm not I don't know. 518 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 1: It was almost like they were setting up. They want 519 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: first of all, they want to create the misdirection after 520 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: the snap. I mean, if he's to go in motion, 521 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: then of course all eyes are gonna go that way. 522 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: But and then they brought it back to the other side, 523 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 1: so total misdirection. But they saw that the misdirection was 524 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: going to work because the motion did create the pre 525 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: snap read or anytime you go on motion and you 526 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: don't do anything with that wide receiver. He was just 527 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 1: like what you call a catalyst to the rest of 528 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 1: the play itself. He determined who they were going to 529 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 1: go to once they created that misdirection. And speaking the Scholts, 530 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: this guy's been having a tough year. He's really been 531 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: having a tough year. He had to blocking well. You 532 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 1: can kind of see the frustration even when he makes 533 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 1: catches on plays. His brain and his feet didn't seem 534 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: to be going together all year long. And he's really 535 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 1: put us in some tough situations. And I was very 536 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 1: critical at of him a couple of times on Twitter, 537 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 1: but I must say he came out of his shell yesterday. 538 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 1: He played well, and I'm glad the Cowboys gave him 539 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 1: an opportunity to make plays because he could be a 540 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 1: great outlet for us when CD's not ready, when Coop 541 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 1: and the guys may be getting double team gallop. You know, 542 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 1: didn't have the best game. Dalton Schultz is a great 543 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 1: option for us, not only a safe option, but extremely 544 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 1: effective in certain parts of the field. But I guess 545 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 1: it's a great point Everson. As we go to break here, 546 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 1: I guess I'm wondering what I would like to find 547 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 1: out is like on that previous play, whether whether Kellen 548 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: Moore saw something thing that they were doing defensively that 549 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 1: helped him know that the touchdown play was gonna work 550 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 1: by putting lamb in motion on the previous play. So 551 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 1: it'd be interesting to learn that. All Right, we got 552 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 1: much more to get to here. On mix shots. In 553 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 1: just a moment, we're backing the tasty treat that's sweeping 554 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:23,280 Speaker 1: airwaves and taste buds.

All right, final segment here, 591 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 1: Mix Shots. So much to get to. We started to 592 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 1: touch on it a little bit on the defensive side 593 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:54,840 Speaker 1: of the ball and the linebackers, as Everson had his 594 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,720 Speaker 1: picks to click with the linebacking corps with a special 595 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:02,800 Speaker 1: emphasis on Layton, vand H. That's what he said on Friday. 596 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,399 Speaker 1: My guy was Sean Lee. I said, if if they'll 597 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 1: play him, he'll be the pick to click. Sure enough, 598 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:11,919 Speaker 1: in the first half of that game, Shan Lee comes 599 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:15,840 Speaker 1: into the game. And let's see. He came in on 600 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:21,439 Speaker 1: the third series and after an initial twenty seven yard 601 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,880 Speaker 1: passed to Justin Jefferson on the first play. It was 602 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 1: three and out for the Vikings offense, and then they 603 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 1: get the ball back and Shawn Lee was in for 604 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 1: Jalen on that series, and then vander Esh was out. 605 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,759 Speaker 1: The next series, Shawan Lee was in and there was 606 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:38,880 Speaker 1: a three and out and that's all we got out 607 00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 1: of Sean Lee in the first half of that game. 608 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 1: Can you sound like you're trying to make a case. 609 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 1: Sound like he's trying to make a case for Shawn 610 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:47,920 Speaker 1: Lee over my pick to click. No, no, no, no, 611 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 1: I'm just signing that checker. Oh no, Jack vander Esh 612 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:56,799 Speaker 1: obviously he deserves with with all he did in that game. 613 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,160 Speaker 1: But I would like to see more Sean Lee. Did 614 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 1: you explain about like he made on delf and Kill Love? 615 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,000 Speaker 1: I love more hits like he made on Delphin Cook 616 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,000 Speaker 1: kind of readjusted that face mask a little bit. They 617 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 1: had to change helmets for Delvin Cook the goal line 618 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 1: on the goal line, and once again, the stubbornness that 619 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:21,279 Speaker 1: they exhibited was amazing to me. Of course, they ended 620 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,400 Speaker 1: up still scoring, but you want to I hate it 621 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 1: when the running back just goes into the end zone 622 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:30,239 Speaker 1: untouched on the goal line. Delvin Cook was touched and 623 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 1: he was touched about three or four times, and he 624 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,640 Speaker 1: had to really work hard for it. And Sean Lee 625 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,880 Speaker 1: was one of those guys that was in there creating 626 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:44,440 Speaker 1: that resistance. I do like having all three linebackers in 627 00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 1: the ball game, and Spags, I want you to speak 628 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,239 Speaker 1: on this. They had a defensive end trying to cover 629 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,319 Speaker 1: a tight end. Man, this is killing me. I don't 630 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:56,880 Speaker 1: understand that part of the game plan. To me, it bowled. 631 00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 1: It was more in the in the in the realm 632 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 1: of things you do when you lose. You know that 633 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 1: you make when you lose. You should have been here. 634 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 1: It's like he tried to cover the tight end the 635 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:13,759 Speaker 1: one play. I swear to god it was either the 636 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,359 Speaker 1: next player or the next two plays later they had 637 00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,879 Speaker 1: him going out there trying to cover the running back. 638 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,880 Speaker 1: And I know these guys here got tired of me 639 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,640 Speaker 1: because I kept pointing out right. And then when that 640 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:32,960 Speaker 1: play happened, all I kept going was why why, I 641 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,319 Speaker 1: just why can't you put a strong side out there 642 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,919 Speaker 1: when we have the personnel. I don't go. You guys 643 00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 1: are gonna have to talk to you. Guys have to 644 00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,440 Speaker 1: talk to Mike Nolan and ask him what is his 645 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:51,280 Speaker 1: pet peeve with three linebackers in the ball game, especially, 646 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:55,440 Speaker 1: you have decent athletic linebackers. I get upset at them 647 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:59,279 Speaker 1: sometimes on the lack of the run support. But when 648 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 1: it comes to the pass, if you could just play 649 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,000 Speaker 1: a nice zone, I think you could be a little 650 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,439 Speaker 1: bit more effective with those three linebackers, because we're doing 651 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 1: pretty well affront at this point. Sometimes you get a 652 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,160 Speaker 1: little tedious. You don't wanted to get the guys in there, 653 00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,320 Speaker 1: but they were putting enough pressure on Kirk Cousins to 654 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 1: where he had to get rid of it quickly. Give 655 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,719 Speaker 1: me some good linebackers back there when it's time. Maybe 656 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,560 Speaker 1: Delvin Cook would stop slicing dicen Us a little bit 657 00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,080 Speaker 1: and then we could have a little bit more staunch 658 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 1: run support. But for some reason, he loved having the 659 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,920 Speaker 1: big defensive end in there and set in the edge, 660 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 1: and it wasn't working well. And you saw in the 661 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,920 Speaker 1: Raiders Chiefs game last night, the Whitten touchdown. The Chiefs 662 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,399 Speaker 1: had a big old defensive end, Garden Whitton out there, 663 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 1: and he's thirty nine year old Jason Whitten, who Jason 664 00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,440 Speaker 1: was shaking him down. Yeah, defensive ends couldn't keep up 665 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,880 Speaker 1: with him. Jason probably felt like, man, I feel like 666 00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 1: I'm twenty three all over again. I'm shaking people down 667 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,440 Speaker 1: getting open in the end zone. Good to see him 668 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:06,320 Speaker 1: with that touchdown. But you see how futile the effort 669 00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,760 Speaker 1: is to put a defensive end in such a compromising position. 670 00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,480 Speaker 1: It's not fair to the defensive end himselves. It's just 671 00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:14,600 Speaker 1: a very try. Can you imagine Witton if he was 672 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,600 Speaker 1: here in practice and they put Duran's armstrong on him, 673 00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:21,200 Speaker 1: you know he can play another three years here? Yeah, 674 00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,480 Speaker 1: I try. He's sitting there here, played him fifty. If 675 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna do this, he would have stormed into the 676 00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,959 Speaker 1: defensive meeting and going, what the hell are you doing? 677 00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,719 Speaker 1: And see the thing I'd like to move on to 678 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 1: the Donovan Wilson are giving up the touchdowns fast because 679 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:39,239 Speaker 1: you talked about it. There you go, go for it, 680 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 1: go for it. I played safety with the Giants a 681 00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,920 Speaker 1: little bit on third downs, and one thing I learned 682 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:52,000 Speaker 1: by through Bill Belichick is giving a receiver free release 683 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:56,799 Speaker 1: down the field can be very dangerous to your secondary 684 00:41:56,800 --> 00:42:00,239 Speaker 1: and especially to your deep safety. If you're safe, no 685 00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,880 Speaker 1: matter where you are, and Spags made to make the 686 00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 1: point to say that Donovan Wilson lined up too close 687 00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:10,320 Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage to be covering, to be 688 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:14,279 Speaker 1: deep on that play. Well, no matter what happens on 689 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:18,880 Speaker 1: that play, you create your own isolated man to man's 690 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:23,120 Speaker 1: situation as a safety. First of all, if someone doesn't 691 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:26,480 Speaker 1: get a hand on that receiver, because otherwise he's gonna 692 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,759 Speaker 1: close that gap on that safety and you're you're in 693 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:33,439 Speaker 1: no man's land. You can't turn your hips fast enough, 694 00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:36,840 Speaker 1: and you are at that receiver's mercy. So to me, 695 00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,680 Speaker 1: there's a flaw both ways. You have to get a 696 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:43,040 Speaker 1: hand on that receiver that's coming from the system itself. 697 00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,920 Speaker 1: And as a as a safety, you have to be 698 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 1: prepared when you've got a dynamic receiver coming at you. 699 00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,400 Speaker 1: I don't care if you're ten yards deep. If he 700 00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:55,200 Speaker 1: comes with a free release, he's gonna close that gap 701 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,800 Speaker 1: on you. And it's just like being a cornerback. You 702 00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,320 Speaker 1: have no help anywhere. I know that feeling. It doesn't 703 00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,360 Speaker 1: bode well for you, and it didn't bode well for 704 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:07,000 Speaker 1: Donovan Wilson. He's gonna get beat on that play because 705 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:11,160 Speaker 1: he has nowhere to look for help. I don't care. 706 00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,080 Speaker 1: If the guy runs a post, he's gonna beat you. 707 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,360 Speaker 1: If the guy was a post corner, he's gonna beat you. 708 00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,040 Speaker 1: And if I'm not mistaken, he ran the post corner, 709 00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,719 Speaker 1: Donovan Wilson was isolated, and it was one of the negatives, 710 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,719 Speaker 1: one of the few negatives that Donovan Wilson had in 711 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:30,840 Speaker 1: that ball game. I thought, justin Jefferson there for a 712 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,439 Speaker 1: second thought. He was playing against Oklahoma in that bowl 713 00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,640 Speaker 1: game last Yeah, that was a really easy It's really 714 00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:40,960 Speaker 1: easy player. It's as easy as that. But see, like 715 00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,560 Speaker 1: I said, that was another case where they're in two 716 00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:46,880 Speaker 1: wide receivers and a fullback and a tight end, and 717 00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,120 Speaker 1: you played a five man front, and you brought your 718 00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:55,040 Speaker 1: other safety up into a linebacker spot. And once Anthony 719 00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:59,360 Speaker 1: Brown gets beat off the line of scrimmage, then Wilson's 720 00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,960 Speaker 1: got a And I don't know if he saw theland 721 00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,759 Speaker 1: cutting across the field and he lost sight of the 722 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,200 Speaker 1: other guy and he didn't have his eyes in the 723 00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,600 Speaker 1: right spot. But he's in the middle of the field. 724 00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:12,879 Speaker 1: It's a long way to go either way if they're 725 00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:16,520 Speaker 1: gonna throw a deep pass. But again, if if if 726 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,960 Speaker 1: if you had another linebacker there, maybe you put your 727 00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,840 Speaker 1: dB back and you got too deep safety instead of 728 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,920 Speaker 1: instead of one. That was the thing I didn't understand. 729 00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,640 Speaker 1: But what I did understand was the fact that the 730 00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:34,200 Speaker 1: Cowboys finally ran the football with some authority and again. 731 00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,319 Speaker 1: And it's like, well, why did it happen? Well, Number one, 732 00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:41,719 Speaker 1: the offensive line played better. Number two, they weren't down 733 00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,640 Speaker 1: by twenty five points in the game. They were in 734 00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:48,040 Speaker 1: the ball game, so they could stay with the run. 735 00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,680 Speaker 1: And I thought, I thought. Mike McCarthy had an interesting 736 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,360 Speaker 1: comment last week. Someone asked him. I think it was 737 00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,879 Speaker 1: on his radio interview. Someone asked him, can you think 738 00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,960 Speaker 1: back to calls you wish you had bad? And his 739 00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:05,400 Speaker 1: answer was, you know, you don't after a game wish 740 00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,759 Speaker 1: you had calls back because you planned all week for 741 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:12,640 Speaker 1: that situation to make that call. He goes, what I 742 00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:16,920 Speaker 1: wish I had back was better execution on the play 743 00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:21,000 Speaker 1: I called, And I said, okay, that's good, right, So 744 00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:24,560 Speaker 1: then if you think about it, think about Pollard's And 745 00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:26,600 Speaker 1: I went back and looked at it a couple of times. 746 00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:30,279 Speaker 1: Pollard's forty two yard touchdown run. So was it a 747 00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:34,000 Speaker 1: great call or was it great execution because when you 748 00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:38,000 Speaker 1: go back and look at it, Dalton Schotz, who does 749 00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:42,560 Speaker 1: have times trouble holding down to edge, got his guy turned. 750 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:48,560 Speaker 1: Zack Martin pushed his guy five yards beyond the line 751 00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:51,920 Speaker 1: of scrimmage, blocked him right out of the play. And 752 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,840 Speaker 1: then you had Noah Brown at wide receiver on the 753 00:45:55,960 --> 00:46:00,759 Speaker 1: right side come and got safe right and to Hod 754 00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:04,840 Speaker 1: and then to help Matters out their cornerback, Jones decided 755 00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,200 Speaker 1: to Ola he didn't want any part of making that 756 00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:12,480 Speaker 1: he did this, And it's like, are you kidding me? So, 757 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,520 Speaker 1: and everybody wants to say, see, Pollard needs to have 758 00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:19,799 Speaker 1: more carries. Well, any one of us that had enough 759 00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,400 Speaker 1: speed to get through that hole could have ran for 760 00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:27,040 Speaker 1: a touchdown because it was blocked perfectly. And it's amazing 761 00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:31,240 Speaker 1: when you execute the play that's called, how how easily 762 00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:35,000 Speaker 1: it works. And so again it's like, oh, he's got 763 00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:38,839 Speaker 1: to have as many carries as Zeke if people watch 764 00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,239 Speaker 1: what Zeke does in a game. To me, it's absolutely 765 00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:46,160 Speaker 1: amazing how he keeps getting four and five yard carries 766 00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,160 Speaker 1: when he gets hit at the line of scrimmage. The 767 00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:52,920 Speaker 1: guy's a warrior, Yes, he is a stun. He is 768 00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:56,279 Speaker 1: a stun, and I gotta say God before we go. 769 00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:01,920 Speaker 1: There has to be a change in the secondary coverage. 770 00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,759 Speaker 1: I promise you, if you just make the change from 771 00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:11,319 Speaker 1: being outside shoulder to inside shoulder, that could really put 772 00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:15,160 Speaker 1: the defensive back, safety or corner at more of an 773 00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:20,439 Speaker 1: advantage because you won't be getting be inside and these 774 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,160 Speaker 1: guys running all the way across the field creating these 775 00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:27,920 Speaker 1: big plays. Trust me, guys, you gotta be inside strong coverage. 776 00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:32,480 Speaker 1: That's how Thermos Feeds got all of their interceptions. We 777 00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:36,600 Speaker 1: stayed inside and we dare them to try and throw 778 00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:39,839 Speaker 1: it across the field. Okay, I've got it written down. 779 00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:41,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go down the hallway and give him a 780 00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:47,359 Speaker 1: note right now. Please don't tell just don't tell them 781 00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,359 Speaker 1: I said it. Don't tell him. I said it. Tell 782 00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:51,919 Speaker 1: them tell him Dion said it. Then they might listen 783 00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,120 Speaker 1: to you. But Mickey will be giving it to them 784 00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,000 Speaker 1: for the Ravens game, not for the game on Thursday, 785 00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:58,880 Speaker 1: because he has to go through a week's worth of 786 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,960 Speaker 1: COVID testing. More. You can go give him the other 787 00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:05,960 Speaker 1: side of the field. I tried. I tried well to 788 00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:08,120 Speaker 1: it in two games from now, I want to see 789 00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:11,120 Speaker 1: a change. There you go. All right right, We're back 790 00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:18,239 Speaker 1: with Washington's Washington football team tomorrow at one thirty here 791 00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:22,560 Speaker 1: on mix Shots.
