Basically yeah, that sounds but doesn't sound, but 34 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: you've been you, You of all people should know the 35 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: pulse of what that victory, that first playoff victor road 36 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: victory and hold on and in thirty years, what was 37 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: that plane ride like? What was that environment like? What 38 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: was it like to get to blow the dust off 39 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: of a playoff victory like that? You know, it's funny. 40 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: I've heard some loud, loud planes in the back. Yeah, 41 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: and sometimes on some losses that you were kind of 42 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 1: scratching your head like did they win? Like, no, they didn't. 43 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: They lost in overtime or something, But it doesn't sound 44 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: like it, you know. I don't know if it was 45 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: just how tired everyone was or whatever, but you didn't 46 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: really hear a lot from the guys. They were excited 47 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: though in the locker room. There's no doubt about it. 48 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: And I think what was cool for me because I've 49 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: been doing it, this is what twenty four seasons. I 50 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: remember the people that were here that were established when 51 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: I first got here, some of the trainers, some of 52 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: them front office guys. Jerry Jones Junior for another one 53 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: who really got here like in ninety six, always with 54 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: the family, of course, but like working here. He's never 55 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: seen a playoff win on the road, and so that 56 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: was cool to see a lot of people that have 57 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: been here for so long, and he kind of take 58 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: for granted this is new for them because you always say, man, 59 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: you've seen it all, well, no, not really, hadn't seen 60 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: a road playoff win, hadn't seen them go farther than 61 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: this next round. So that that was That was really cool. 62 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: It was cool, And the best part is is they 63 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: earned it because they just nicked their ass. Yeah they 64 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: really did know that, and you picked them to kick 65 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: their ass. Absolutely. We have the pod picks, we have 66 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: the whole list, and it's one thing to say, oh, 67 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna win twenty eight twenty seven or 68 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: something like that. You know, you know, I picked thirty two. 69 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: I picked twenty nine to twenty only because it had 70 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: to be a two score game. Because it was a 71 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: one score game, I had no faith. It's Tom Brady. Yeah, 72 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 1: so I picked that, But you know, I didn't expect 73 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: it really to be like that. You did, but I 74 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: don't know, did you? I had them twenty eight twenty six. 75 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: I had a close game, yeah, exactly, exactly, because it's 76 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven. I had twenty eight twenty six. I 77 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: was six years old. Heck of the last time the 78 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: Cowboys won six role playoff game six years old. It's 79 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: a good game, right, I was good. I mean, I 80 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: remember it was a great game. It's a great game. Um. 81 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: But I think for me, I think what I most 82 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: enjoyed about last night was, aside from obviously Brett Maher 83 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,039 Speaker 1: and his struggles. It was arguably the most complete victory 84 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: from this team since Minnesota. I thought, I thought Dak 85 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: Prescott played at the level that playoff quarterbacks had to 86 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: play it in order to win these kinds of games. 87 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: And Micah Parsons was just watching him play after played 88 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: the relentless effort that he put together last night. I'm 89 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: still marveling at what he did and how he got 90 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: after the Bucks in an offensive line. He was spectacular. 91 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 1: Jayon Curs had a big play. But Parses to me, 92 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: I know, Prescott's gonna get all the headlines. Parses was 93 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: phenomenal last night without it out. Yeah, guys, I'm gonna 94 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: we're gonna do hot Tub top machine. Back to last week, okay, 95 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: and uh yeah, we're gonna We're gonna start on Monday. 96 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 1: We're gonna start on Monday. Where Mike McCarthy was was 97 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: coaching for his job, okay, And all of the questions 98 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 1: and everybody's that was being placed in the ether was 99 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: about Dak's legacy. Mike McCarthy, I guess a freeze job 100 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: away from losing his job, and the Dallas Cowboys are 101 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: completely a disaster waiting to happen. Fast forward now to 102 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 1: today without all of those questions, with those questions being 103 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 1: answered about Mike McCarthy, what was your impression of him 104 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: and the job at him and his staff did in 105 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: this in this playoffs playoff victory. Incredible, incredible job. You're right, 106 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: his job. I don't know what to say on the line. 107 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: That's one guy, that one decision really with Jerry, but 108 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: the but the seat was definitely definitely warm, and if 109 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: he had another bad game in the playoffs, it was 110 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: gonna be really interesting. Um. But I thought I thought 111 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 1: he did a great job because I love what he 112 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 1: did with the you know, with the baby pictures and 113 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: stuff like that, you know, embracing the fact that I 114 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: hadn't won in thirty years. Most coaches would say, that's 115 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: not my problem. I haven't lost thirty years in a row. 116 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: He embraced it though. He took the team and he said, hey, 117 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 1: you know, this is the narrative going out there. Let's 118 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: just wrap our arms around it. So I thought it 119 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: was it was really good that he did. That probably 120 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: loosened them up and for whatever it is when they 121 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 1: play poorly and lose games, they have figured out how 122 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: to not only win, but play really good games. I mean, 123 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: Minnesota was unbel believable. The Bengals when Dak was out, 124 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: I mean, they figured out a way to win that 125 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 1: game with Cooper Rush. I don't want to, I can't 126 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 1: name them all, but but it seems like they not 127 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: only win, but they play well. I think for me 128 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: what resonated was the lack of preparedness that I felt 129 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: they had against Washington. It was the complete opposite last night. 130 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: I thought from an offensive standpoint, a defensive standpoint, they 131 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: knew exactly what they wanted to do, how they wanted 132 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: to execute it. And you get the players credit for 133 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: going out and executing that game plan time after time. 134 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: So I thought McCarthy, having his guys Dan Quinn, Kellen Moore, 135 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: I thought everyone was on the same page and knew 136 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: exactly what they wanted to do and how they wanted 137 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: to attack offensively and defensively Tampa Bay last night, and 138 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: they did so. And genuinely, there's no in between with 139 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: this team. And I've kind of read your articles and 140 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: I always see that you say either you either you 141 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: love them or you think they suck. Yeah, there's no 142 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: there's no middle ground here. About the Cowboy. Think North Carolina, 143 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: where you're just nothing new true about that. There's nothing 144 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: neutral about this space at all. And so for the 145 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, it came down to actually showing up. And 146 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: that's that's what everybody was was was looking at. You know, 147 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: how do these guys take the field? Are they lively? 148 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: What's the look the eye of the tiger? You know, 149 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: these guys look like they were ready to go. I 150 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: had a guy from the public relations department who has 151 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: worked here at least fifteen years. He's never said this 152 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: to me before. He asked me. He's one of those 153 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: questions where you ask you know that you ask someone 154 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: like how are you doing, just so that you could 155 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,319 Speaker 1: ask them how they're doing. You know. He was like, hey, 156 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 1: what do you think about this game? I'm like, man, 157 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: I don't know, it could be whatever. He goes, they're 158 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: gonna be They're gonna win, They're gonna they're gonna they're 159 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: gonna be fine. I was like, wow, He's like I've 160 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: seen I see their eyes, like okay, all of them, 161 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: like all ninety six eyes. Like he's like, I trust 162 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: trust me. I'm like okay, the trust okay. And then 163 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: later he goes see. I was like, well, you weren't 164 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 1: looking at my heart, but you were like at the 165 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: arrest of the guys. You're right, you're right. Give it 166 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: to him. You're right because he's never done that before. 167 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: He must have seen something, you know, and that look, 168 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: um you know, because but I've done it before. I 169 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: thought for sure when I was on the field in 170 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen rams divisional game, the way that crowd was 171 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: and there, I was like, we're winning this game. We're 172 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: gonna go to the MC championship game finally. And it 173 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,439 Speaker 1: didn't happen. So as long as you get kind of 174 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: duped by that, but they were ready. I mean they 175 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: were they were ready. You know the Washington game. Going 176 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,559 Speaker 1: back to that MCQUAMU, that's the one. I keep thinking. 177 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: He didn't even play. They even dress him out for 178 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 1: that game. And so you're thinking, oh, you're like Jabril Cox, 179 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 1: I mean, you're kind of on the outside right now, 180 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: you're not even part of the team, so not I 181 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 1: mean part of the plan. And then they come back 182 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: to this game and he's a huge part of the play, 183 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: right He sits right in the middle of the field, 184 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: use these long arms and make plays and he did. 185 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 1: He made plays. I mean, they had a vision. So 186 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: I'm not saying they threw the game against Washington, but 187 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 1: the way that McLaurin wasn't getting traveled by Diggs and 188 00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: they were letting Mullin go out there to see if 189 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: he could do it, it made me kind of think 190 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 1: that a little suspicious. I just thought maybe they were 191 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: trying something, trying to do some stuff. And I think 192 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: when you do that and you show that the players 193 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 1: that you're doing that, it's only second nature to be like, 194 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: all right, we try you know, yeah, And they're definitely 195 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: not going to get any excuses on that. There's so 196 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: many people talked about the Commander's Job game all week 197 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: last week, not even considering Tampa as a victory or not. 198 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: The defense. I want to go back to what you 199 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: were saying, Kevin, this this defense came to play and 200 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: they were the They were the one group that I 201 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: think coming off of the Commander's game that everybody was saying, Oh, 202 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: this defense isn't what you think they are. And in 203 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,439 Speaker 1: a lot of ways, do you think that that resonated 204 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,599 Speaker 1: with those guys, like they're saying in themselves, Okay, you 205 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: watch this and they put in that kind of performance 206 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: last night. Yeah. I think the returns of Layton, Vanderesh 207 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: and Hankins were massive absolutely last night. And I think 208 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: to your point, they heard all the noise about, well, 209 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: this defense isn't what they were at the beginning of 210 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: the year, but they knew we're gonna get healthy and 211 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,079 Speaker 1: we're gonna be a find a way to be able 212 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: to stop the run, which they did last night against Fournette. 213 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: But Hankins in the middle, Van Deresh and his play 214 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: massive for them, and I think, yeah, up the middle 215 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: for them, Yeah yeah. And then even on the back end. 216 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 1: I mean one of those one of the few good 217 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: plays that the Bucks had was early in the game 218 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,839 Speaker 1: when they were driving in that little flip pass to 219 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: god Went on third down, but Brady, you know, it 220 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 1: was like a no, look he paid for that. Yeah, 221 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: lor Mahomes ask type right, and Godwin was like, oh, 222 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: first down. Was the last player of the first quarter 223 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,959 Speaker 1: and all that. And I remember looking over at Patrick 224 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 1: and I said, well, he got the first down, but 225 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: I could promise you god one's not feeling good right now. 226 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,719 Speaker 1: He got smacks. I don't even Wilson. Yeah, I mean 227 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: he yeah, yeah, he loved the boom. I guarantee there's 228 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: times that NFL League office is like, is that we fine, Wilson, 229 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 1: it's on the cuss just hit all right on the 230 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 1: line there right on the I think he's been fine, 231 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: maybe once or twice, but for but for as physical 232 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: as he is, get rid of this making noise here. 233 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 1: I mean, you missed. You want to look at it? No, 234 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,079 Speaker 1: you you used all the back. Boy, you should have 235 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: called the glass on that. Jack. I'll say, I do 236 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: it a lot. I mean, this is kind of my 237 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: shot practice. I used to suck at it and there 238 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 1: would be time I forget and Chris Bean would come 239 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: in here and pick it up and all that. But 240 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: I don't think he's picked it up in a while. 241 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: But from that, Chris, that wasn't looking good. I don't 242 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: know how. He usually leaves it on the table. I 243 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: usually make it. Chris, No, you don't throw it away. 244 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: He just leave it on the table for me to 245 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 1: throw away. So he's he's new leaf on life. It's 246 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: new year man. Obviously take the label off because it 247 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: wasn't the brand water. You don't have to get that text. 248 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 1: I know about it all too well, but we're talking 249 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 1: about Donovan Wilson. Man had a hell of a game 250 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: and the way that he played physically, I think that 251 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,959 Speaker 1: holds secondary the way that they attack team. So much 252 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 1: of the perception about the Dallas Cowboys defense is they 253 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: can't stop to run. And when you hold a team 254 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,839 Speaker 1: like Tampa that comes into your contest knowing that they 255 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: have to run the ball and they can't run the ball. 256 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: And that's all due to those pieces that you're talking 257 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: about that were in there. But secondly, I really loved 258 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 1: what Israel mccuomwell did. Um We've talked about his height 259 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: and him and drunk curse and nation right and just 260 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: these guys six five or six four point forwards in 261 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: the league you know out there playing in the second. Yes, 262 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: he loves his link. I mean, he has a proto. 263 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: He's a type of guy that he likes. But to 264 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: see a kid come in that was originally a safety, 265 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,319 Speaker 1: well that moved to safety. Now move back, he's playing 266 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: more like that corner hybrid. What do you even say 267 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: his role is because he's not a safety? Oh not? Now, 268 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 1: you're right, he's playing he's playing the they call it 269 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: a Dino package and it's uh, it's like a you know, 270 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: it's a dime Nickel package there where. You know. That's 271 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: what I love about what dan Quinn does. He kind 272 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: of sees the player and has a vision for it. 273 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: And it's not like, well, this is my defense is 274 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: what I do. It's like, what can I do with 275 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: a player like that? You know, I'm not comparing him 276 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: to the greatest coach of all time, but like, that's 277 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: what made Belichick so great is that he could look 278 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: at a guy and go, all right, it's Troy Brown. 279 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: He's kind of our third receiver, but I might be 280 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: able to use him at you know, just just thinking 281 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: outside the box. And I thought that was great about 282 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: what just put him in Belichick's fear. And now we're 283 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: definitely losing during nothing, and I was like, Okay, good news, 284 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: this is looking good for the Cowboys and play next week. 285 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: Bad news was losing our coach. Thank you so much 286 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: for this performance, and good luck with that number six 287 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: that we just talked about too. Donovan Wilson, are you 288 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: going with him? Yeah? Yeah, what are you talking about? 289 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: Where you going? I go kind of like you where 290 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: you do something? Hey better believe that? Hey, I want 291 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: from you guys, one guy not named Michael Parsons that 292 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: was your impact player of the game. Any side of 293 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: the ball, defense, just defense, defense, Uh, I mean yeah, 294 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna go with Hankins. Yeah, That's what I'm 295 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: gonna go with. Yeah, I like, I like what Layton did. 296 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: I mean, well, curse, I mean curse. The interception was 297 00:15:49,440 --> 00:16:00,040 Speaker 1: was great? You I mean, lad, I didn't hear a 298 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: lot of was tanking. I don't remember a lot. He 299 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: does a lot of dirty work stuff that you don't 300 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: you know, Dorin's Armstrong had some plays. Um, you know, 301 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: I'm not and I'm not really critical of Digs. I'm not. Um, 302 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: there's a couple of plays. Derek Eagleton and I were 303 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 1: kind of arguing a little bit up in the press 304 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: box a little bit about certain plays like that. And 305 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: there's times when I feel like, as a corner, he's 306 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: trying to get the running back to go back to 307 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: the middle. Yeah, you're you're you're beating him to the sideline, 308 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: especially at the end of the half when timeouts stuff, 309 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: You're beating him to the sideline. You've got to go 310 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: back to the middle. And when they got they cut 311 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: back then Yeah, you kind of slip and you don't 312 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: make the play and you hope that the other guys do. 313 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: I think he does a nice job with that and 314 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: not you know, he had a couple of plays where 315 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: he didn't tackle. A lot of people may have fel 316 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: he was making a certain business decisions when it came 317 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: to attack. I thought it covers, so he did fairly well. 318 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: I want him to. I'm sorry, I've never I've never 319 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: hated that idea. I want you to make business decisions. 320 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: Put your shoulders right. Well, I mean Dion did it 321 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: for years. Okay, Well, Deon's the greatest cornerback of all time. 322 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 1: I mean you're paying him to cover, not necessarily, you know, right, 323 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: I mean and make and make plays. And I mean 324 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 1: what point are you making if you make this tackle 325 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: and then you know, not everyone's Rod Woodson or whatever. Right? Absolutely, 326 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: who was a killer? Yeah, I mean he was. He 327 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 1: was good and then he moved to safety or whatever. 328 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: But like I think his Trayvon's job is is cover 329 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 1: the guy, and he does a good job. I just 330 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 1: don't have a problem with really anybody and how they 331 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: played in that game. I thought it was it was 332 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: a really Anthony Barr. I thought I had some nice plays. 333 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: I mean, but Michael, it's Michael set the first play 334 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: the game, first play the game with the tackle for lost, 335 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: and the third play of the game holding call. You 336 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: know they actually called it? How about that? How about that? 337 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 1: I couldn't believe. I was like, they actually called the 338 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 1: whole the penalty they actually did. Yeah. And the and 339 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: the strategy, And we talked about this on the playoffs. 340 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: Down is the strategy to not block Mica on the 341 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: first play. Yeah, it's not gonna work out for you. 342 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: I said that too. I was like, I think they're 343 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: gonna change that philosophy, but they don't. Yeah, And that's 344 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 1: and and to me, the one thing about Michael's performance 345 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: was coming off of that Commander's game, he looked completely 346 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: beat up. He looked like I was saying to myself 347 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 1: after the Commander's game, how healthy or how much Michael 348 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: were we gonna get in the playoffs, Because if he's 349 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: looking like that, huh dad now right?

The player that you saw in the 355 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 1: Cincinnati game was present, the guy that you saw be 356 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,199 Speaker 1: completely disruptive and that it was. It was reminiscent of 357 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings game where you know the first person game. Yeah, 358 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: he breaks on.

I'm just pushing. I'm speaking until he's 411 00:21:51,440 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: speaking into executive. Hold you hold your pinky finger up, Nick, Hey, 412 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 1: look man, another guy last week they got murdered in 413 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: the media, raked across the coals God, and we talked 414 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: about it, just saying, hey man, he is leading the 415 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 1: NFL in turnovers. He's missed five games, and all the 416 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: stats that did indicate that even if he played those 417 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: other five games, he probably would have had twenty I mean, 418 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a projection gone wild on that 419 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: when you start talking about what he could have done 420 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: with those turnovers, he turns around last night, gentlemen, and 421 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: has a game, Yeah, twenty five or thirty three, three 422 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: oh five, four interceptions for excuse me, for four touchdowns, 423 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: four touchdowns and get this, no interceptions. Yeah, and a 424 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: Russian touchdown. Looked like the best version of himself that 425 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 1: we've seen thus far. Never I mean, the numbers you 426 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: go back and just look at you know, expected points 427 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: at it. You know, you go throw all the advanced 428 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: nub was just nuts. But he went what oh of 429 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 1: three three in completions, first drive lasted thirteen seconds. Asked 430 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 1: that he goes twenty five or thirty for three hundred 431 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: and five yards. The four passing touchdowns one rushing touchdown, 432 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: eighty three percent completion percentage, had a QB rating of 433 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: one forty three. I mean, near flawless football from him. 434 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 1: And one of my favorite plays from last night was 435 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: the twenty two yards from him to Schultz. Beautiful held 436 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:31,120 Speaker 1: the safety perfectly, Dalton gets open, he just throws a 437 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: beautiful path, like you just knew. He was dialed in. 438 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 1: I think at one point had eleven straight completions, broke 439 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: Troyman's record for most consecutive Completionly, he was just dialed 440 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: in all night last night. I agree. I thought, I thought, 441 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: with everything at State, with that, okay, what the narrative 442 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: is on him? And now the only reason that people 443 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: were giving Tampa Bay a chance in this game was 444 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:55,120 Speaker 1: because of the quarterback matchup. You know, you'd go down 445 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: the list of all the matchups and any intangibles and 446 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 1: coaching and all this stuff with the check mark it's 447 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 1: the quarterback and that and that, and Brady gets it 448 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 1: and he deserves it, and but but Dak outplayed him, 449 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: and I thought that was the best game that Dak's 450 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: play I thought was the biggest game of his career, 451 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: and I think he answered the bell. My favorite play 452 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: wasn't even a throw. It was when it was twelve nothing. 453 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,199 Speaker 1: You're pinned back there a little bit, and then they 454 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: start driving out of that. You know, Tampa's calling timeouts 455 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: because they want the ball back and they don't get it. 456 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 1: And it's third and six and he rolls left and 457 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: runs and he gets the first down. He's diving for it. 458 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,360 Speaker 1: And I said this on the show and the Cowboys 459 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 1: break the other day. Dak needs to be Dat needs 460 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,479 Speaker 1: to not be a quarterback that plays football. He needs 461 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 1: to be a football player that plays quarterback is and 462 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: that's what a football player was. Now, the bad part 463 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: is that touchdown that he threw to Schultz, Like this, 464 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: the second one, the one that made an eighteen to nothing. 465 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: He's rolling left, he waits, Schultz gets open, throws it 466 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: across touchdown. That's when he was just he was dealing. Yeah, 467 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: that's gonna get picked that Like that play, it's like Romo, Yes, 468 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: great job. But that same mentality is going to get 469 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 1: an interception. It's got an interception before. Yeah, that's what 470 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: those interceptions were Green Bay. Because he makes that throw. 471 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: Sometimes he's a touchdown, sometimes it's not, but it's the 472 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 1: mentality do we want to take it away, because if 473 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,199 Speaker 1: you take it away, you don't get a game like 474 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: he got last time. He almost feel cursed by that 475 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: success because you're like, hey, you're going to be confident 476 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: in that, and you're gonna do it at the wrong time. Yeah. Absolutely, Yeah, 477 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: that's one of the things we loved about Brett Farve. 478 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: He just took a chance. Yeah, exactly, exactly. And I 479 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: really think Dak and Romo have similar games. I really do. 480 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that the way that they play 481 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: is very similar, especially the way Romo was early in 482 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,479 Speaker 1: where he was really you know, he wasn't I wouldn't 483 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: say never athletic, but he was crafty, you know, and 484 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: he can kind of make some plays here and there. 485 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 1: And I think that they kind of play the same 486 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 1: game a little bit. Wow. And and you're thinking about 487 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,439 Speaker 1: Dak and the way that he played, Kelly Moore had 488 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 1: a lot to do with that in his game plan 489 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: that he implemented so much about playoff football, as you know, Nick, 490 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: it just comes down to tightening up your game plan 491 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: and you can't go out there with a whole bunch 492 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,120 Speaker 1: of hocus pocus. Are you're gonna get beat obviously turning 493 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: the football over all, that will contribute. But he came 494 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,439 Speaker 1: in with a solid game play he did and his 495 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: left tackle gets hurt, you know, before halftime, and they 496 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:29,439 Speaker 1: do another shuffle over you know, the real telling play 497 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 1: there was. Go back to San Francisco playoff game last year. 498 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 1: One of the big the big issue was CD can't 499 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: get the ball. You can't. You gotta scheme him open. 500 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 1: And what happens at the end of the game after 501 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 1: the Bucks score and now you're starting to get a 502 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 1: little bit of life. It's twenty four to six and 503 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: they get that drive and it's fourth and three. You know, 504 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: you can't kick field goal. I mean you can't. You know, 505 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,199 Speaker 1: you can't forget big all right, You're not kicking it. 506 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 1: He schemes up play to get a guy that's got 507 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: a hundred and seven catches in the regular season and 508 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: a second team All Pro wide the easiest touchdown a 509 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 1: serious It was to the point where I was like, 510 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: oh my god, you're gonna drop this because it's oh no, no, 511 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: no faircatch, like he caught it, and I mean, but 512 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: he didn't scheme Noah Brown open or Turpin schemes CD 513 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 1: and you know, maybe that's like bust in the coverage 514 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 1: or whatever, but Tampa's defense doesn't really bust like that. 515 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: So I thought, I thought, you're right. Great credit to 516 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: Kellyn and how he called the game. Yeah, and Kevin, 517 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 1: when you look at the way, well just the participation 518 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: last night by Ceedee Lamb. Did you think it was 519 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: one of those games where it was enough touches for 520 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: him not enough, or did you see or just that's 521 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 1: that was just the flow of the game. I think 522 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 1: it was just the flow of the game. I think 523 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott kill him more allowed the game to come 524 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: to them. They took what the defense gave them, and 525 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 1: if it meant Ceedee Lamb was having opportunity to get 526 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 1: schemed open, then that happened. If it was an opportunity 527 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 1: for you know, for Ferguson to get open whomever was 528 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: open based on what he was seeing, he made it happen. 529 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: I thought the way that they went about the game 530 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: plan was saying, we're going to take what the defense 531 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 1: gives us and we'll take advantage of it. Let's not 532 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: forget a CD dropped the first two passes a day. Yeah, 533 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 1: you know, so they did kind of scheme it there. 534 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 1: But but going back, you know, said Ferguson on that 535 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: that was a big play too, that that whole drive 536 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,679 Speaker 1: had had some great plays in it. But what I 537 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: loved about it was is, I mean CD is physical 538 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 1: down the field blocking. You know, it's a it's a 539 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: totally different play when you get tackled at the eighteen 540 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: yard line versus getting tackled at the six right and 541 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: that and that's what's a really nice jarring block by CD. 542 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 1: You don't look at him and think, oh hercules, you know, 543 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: like he's not gonna be blocking down but but he had, 544 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 1: you know, he had a nice block there that changed 545 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: everything and they were able to score, make it twelve 546 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: to nothing. Yeah, the moment for me in the game 547 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 1: because I was really paranoid about the way that Todd 548 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 1: Bows was going to approach this game plan because you know, 549 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: he can make any quarterback life a living hell. Uh. 550 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: He stacked the box and I was initially taken aback 551 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: by what Troy Egman was saying. You know, Dak looks nervous. 552 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 1: That's a lot of what Troy was saying. He looks 553 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: like he has a tight a little tight early. But 554 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: then you start to see him make those easy throws. 555 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 1: Kellen was designing things to get him in rhythm. But 556 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: it was late in the game and there's about third quarter, 557 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 1: beginning of the third quarter. He makes a pass to 558 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz and it was money. It was one of 559 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: those throws that we look at a Josh Allen, we 560 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: look at the Burrows, we look at all these other guys, 561 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: and we go, oh, he makes that throw in his sleep, 562 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: and that's what makes him what he is. Dak has 563 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: that signature throw. What did you think about that? Do 564 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 1: you remember that it was just a throw. It was 565 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 1: just on the sideline over the left sideline. Dalton shows 566 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: kind of bobbled it a little bit. He caught it twice. Yeah, yeah, exactly, Yeah, yeah, 567 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: right in front of the Bucks bench. Uh yeah, yeah yeah. 568 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: It was a gorgeous throw. I mean, that is another 569 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 1: play that you used to look at and say, oh, 570 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: Dak's on tonight. Like anything. He decided to dial up 571 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: his guys are gonna catch it. Dalton Schultz be the 572 00:29:58,160 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: heck of a grab there. But it was just a 573 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: perfect just dropped in the bucket on the sideline. And 574 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: your mind, Nick, because you covered Dak and you've covered 575 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: a lot of this roller coaster up and down? Is 576 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 1: this who he is what we saw last night? Are 577 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: you still saying all right, Yeah he came out, he 578 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: represented pretty good, but we're waiting on this. No, no, no, 579 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: this is this is who he is, and it's kind 580 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: of what I said before. This is this is the 581 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 1: style that he plays, this kind of free freestyle football, 582 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 1: backyard dackyard football, if you will. But sometimes it's not 583 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: not gonna work out for you. You know, these passes. 584 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: You know, he's been unlucky in some of the interceptions, 585 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 1: not all, and some of them that have been just 586 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: been unlucky. And then sometimes though he's not sometimes it's 587 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: gallops catching it, putting it right in there. They're not 588 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: knocking the ball in the air. So I think I 589 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: think we saw his potential, but something So there's gonna 590 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: be times when you play that way you're gonna I mean, 591 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: you you keep putting your hand over the stove. You 592 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: probably let's go happen. But that's how you have the 593 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: hot hand. Yeah there you go. Oh, I've never read 594 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: never there, I see it. There you just got just 595 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 1: I got your beat right now. You gotta do tell 596 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: me to hit it. I hit it for you. Yeah, 597 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: no one has ever accused me of rapping before, so 598 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 1: we're not gonna do it right now either. And so 599 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: what we're gonna do is we're gonna take our final 600 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: break on the media mash and be right back with uh. 601 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 1: I guess some some remedies for one Brett Maher coming 602 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: up after this.

Yeah, I don't 661 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,920 Speaker 1: care how good you are. Just happens. You know how 662 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 1: much I loved Act. So just imagine the conflict I'm 663 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 1: having internally about this. If you are a field goal 664 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:15,360 Speaker 1: kicker and you're not making field goals, it's hard for 665 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 1: me to ride with you, dog, because I don't want 666 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 1: to feel bubble cuts about a pat. Yeah, like that 667 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 1: stuff to me is routine. I've heard Abo Garcia talk 668 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 1: about this like special teams. I don't want to think 669 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 1: about special teams. I don't want to think about my kicker. 670 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 1: I don't want to think about him. I want this 671 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 1: dude to be bred. Do you think I want to 672 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 1: go get a beer on the pat? I don't want 673 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,240 Speaker 1: to be sitting there pins and needles having a ritual 674 00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 1: because I can't leave until you actually make this thing 675 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 1: he got people in my house. We're holding our hands up, like, 676 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:49,719 Speaker 1: come on, we got to hold our hands on ball, 677 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 1: help him out. I mean to see Overton after they 678 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 1: made that last one. I mean it was like the 679 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 1: game winning field goal, and he was so excited. I 680 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 1: didn't see it, actually, but I hear buccaneer fans were cheering. Yeah, 681 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: it was a big loud cheer. Yeah, it was like 682 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,360 Speaker 1: you can hear it comes to the television finally, you know. 683 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:16,359 Speaker 1: But I'm about body of work. And if you were 684 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 1: an average kicker all year, and if you were just 685 00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 1: up and down, up and down, and then you have 686 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 1: a game like that, that's probably the last straw. But 687 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 1: he wasn't you know, he was really good all year. 688 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 1: He made enough good ones. As Jerry said, he made enough, 689 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 1: made enough good. So you don't sound confident at all. 690 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,239 Speaker 1: And what you're saying right now, oh, I'm never I'm 691 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:43,279 Speaker 1: not confident. I don't get it right. But that's what 692 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,759 Speaker 1: makes this thing weird. But I honestly, I know I 693 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,440 Speaker 1: remember him in twenty nineteen. I've been kind of waiting 694 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 1: for this all season. Oh you wait for the other 695 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 1: He've been hurt before a little bit, so I'm kind 696 00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,600 Speaker 1: of waiting for this to have it happens with all kickers, 697 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:01,839 Speaker 1: you know. I mean they're all like that. But um 698 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,239 Speaker 1: so I just look at it like I'm not making 699 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 1: any moves. And I don't know if adding a kicker 700 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,960 Speaker 1: or the practice squad actually hurts you or helps you. Yeah, 701 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 1: you cover yourself a little bit. But if kicking is 702 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:18,319 Speaker 1: so psychological, where you getting in her head and having 703 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,800 Speaker 1: him look over his shoulder all that? You know, remember 704 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 1: what Bill Caver said to Greg Lloyd in an NFL 705 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 1: Films video that they show all the time. He would 706 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:26,759 Speaker 1: just go up to him and he was just like, 707 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:32,840 Speaker 1: rush the quarterback, Okay, make the kick. It's as simple 708 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:39,399 Speaker 1: as that, Kevin, Look, I'm sorry. Around Saturday night, Yeah, 709 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,279 Speaker 1: you're gonna get a thought in your head about how 710 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,439 Speaker 1: tough this competition is going to be, and it's gonna 711 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,239 Speaker 1: come down to what you know about the NFL. The 712 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 1: margin for victory is very small. Yeah, and it's gonna 713 00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:52,839 Speaker 1: come down to something that as simple as it's gonna 714 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,960 Speaker 1: be that simple, that's gonna be the difference between success 715 00:37:56,040 --> 00:38:00,040 Speaker 1: and failure. Where are you one of the team and 716 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,920 Speaker 1: ten being the most confident one being I'm scared. I'm 717 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,879 Speaker 1: about a four point five. Oh you shake it. Yeah, 718 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,400 Speaker 1: I'm scared, Like I'm gonna chalking up as to a 719 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,680 Speaker 1: bad night at the office at the worst possible time, 720 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,200 Speaker 1: and maybe for the rest of the team, like they 721 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,279 Speaker 1: had against Washington, maybe he just needed to get this 722 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,399 Speaker 1: out of his system, and then as they get ready 723 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,880 Speaker 1: to go to Santa Clara for Sunday, he'll be right 724 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,879 Speaker 1: where he needs to be. Because I mean, I had 725 00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 1: some of the same thoughts you did. It's like, oh man, 726 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,719 Speaker 1: this is Sarka twenty nineteen all over again. There was 727 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:31,320 Speaker 1: a reason why it felt like I was ready to 728 00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,319 Speaker 1: run him out of town. But for the most part 729 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,279 Speaker 1: this year, he's been good. So I'm gonna lean on 730 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 1: what I've seen from him this year and hope that 731 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,799 Speaker 1: by the time they get to San Francisco that he's 732 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 1: going to be back to where he wants to be. 733 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,000 Speaker 1: And I disagree with because I got because I got 734 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:45,719 Speaker 1: no choice at this point, Like so we roll him 735 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,759 Speaker 1: at this Yeah, I disagree with the point about at 736 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 1: the worst possible time, because I think it's at the 737 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,839 Speaker 1: best possible time when they didn't need you to make 738 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,759 Speaker 1: those kicks. We why some one happened in the playoffs, like, yeah, 739 00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: I get it, I mean, and they won't all be 740 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, And so if he's gonna turn it around, 741 00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,239 Speaker 1: that's fine. But if you're gonna miss four, do it 742 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,400 Speaker 1: when you your defense is shutting out Tom Brady. And 743 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,879 Speaker 1: because if they had been scoring a little bit there 744 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:13,120 Speaker 1: after it's eighteen nothing now e eighteen to seven, eighteen 745 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,799 Speaker 1: to ten, and then you score, now you think, okay, 746 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,640 Speaker 1: we have a game. We're gonna have to go for 747 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,720 Speaker 1: two here exactly. But the fact that they're not scoring 748 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 1: and he's looking at it like I just gotta make 749 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,000 Speaker 1: a kick, Like when it was twenty when it was 750 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 1: eighteen to nothing and we just saw that play to 751 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 1: gallop it was third and goal from the two. I'm thinking, 752 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,480 Speaker 1: I'm running it up the middle, and if I don't 753 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 1: make it, I'm kicking a field goal right down here. 754 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 1: At nineteen yard field goal, you can you have to 755 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,920 Speaker 1: really try to miss. The ball has no room to 756 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,600 Speaker 1: go up, you know. But then, and I think that 757 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,799 Speaker 1: would have helped him so much. I was actually fine 758 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,640 Speaker 1: with twenty one to nothing. If he can make a 759 00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,400 Speaker 1: field goal right down the middle, or just make a 760 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,640 Speaker 1: field goal, but they scored. You know, you have to 761 00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:59,239 Speaker 1: go and Gallop has a score touchdown, which is fine, 762 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:00,920 Speaker 1: and of course they didn't. It's the extra points and 763 00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,400 Speaker 1: maybe you know, it's just something about this man, like 764 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,080 Speaker 1: you said, getting it out of your system. Getting it 765 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,279 Speaker 1: out of your system is you know, eating bad taco 766 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 1: bell right, getting out of your system. Like for him, 767 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,600 Speaker 1: it was like, oh, you're sitting in this like you're 768 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:17,319 Speaker 1: in front of a national audience, millions watching all over 769 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 1: the world, and you are wedding the bed. And it 770 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,960 Speaker 1: got to about the third one. When the fourth one missed, 771 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,160 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this is he just he just 772 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,920 Speaker 1: he just melted like he was getting better though he 773 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:38,200 Speaker 1: started hitting the post right. It's so as I'm with, 774 00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,160 Speaker 1: I'm with Kevin Head. I mean, you got you have 775 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:42,960 Speaker 1: to roll with. I think what was very telling is 776 00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:46,920 Speaker 1: how you know Dak had the phenomenal game right he. 777 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:48,840 Speaker 1: I think it was after that was it the second 778 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,279 Speaker 1: one that he missed. Dak's like, we need to go 779 00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,200 Speaker 1: for two. It's just like he had the collective thought 780 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,160 Speaker 1: I think of everyone watching. He's like, Okay, it's not 781 00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:57,920 Speaker 1: his night tonight. We just gotta keep going. Go for 782 00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:59,839 Speaker 1: two and see what happened. Man, you guys are are 783 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,000 Speaker 1: rate about the cornerbacks that are getting burn you know, 784 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 1: get another guy here, let's see his avior Rods. Let's 785 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,120 Speaker 1: get another guy to do something. Now it comes down 786 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 1: to the kicker that you just saw completely go straight up. Now, 787 00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,200 Speaker 1: we don't want it to get in his head. We 788 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,959 Speaker 1: don't want him. It's a mental game. It is because 789 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,360 Speaker 1: you're gonna need him. You're going to need him. I 790 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,879 Speaker 1: need him to make a I didn't even make pats. 791 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,040 Speaker 1: But you're talking about corners. None of those guys that 792 00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 1: Peter drop like those guys other than Rhodes, but those 793 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,280 Speaker 1: other guys, you've never seen it, at least with Maher. 794 00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,120 Speaker 1: You've seen it. You've seen it happen this year. And 795 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:41,240 Speaker 1: so I know this sounds that sounds crazy because twenty percent, 796 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 1: twenty percent percentage for your extra point. It's not good, 797 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,640 Speaker 1: not good, not good. No, If he doesn't make that 798 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,960 Speaker 1: last kick, I think he got different issues. But he 799 00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,279 Speaker 1: made it. He made it, He made it. He went 800 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,040 Speaker 1: right down the middle, he made it. He showed mentally, 801 00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,160 Speaker 1: okay I can make this. Now he's gonna have to 802 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,360 Speaker 1: do it again, you know. But he was missing in 803 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:04,239 Speaker 1: pre game. I'm telling you, man, it was not Oh 804 00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,200 Speaker 1: it wasn't looking good in pre game either. It wasn't 805 00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,759 Speaker 1: looking good. Okay, So I don't know. I wonder if 806 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,560 Speaker 1: he's I want to see his stat I don't worry 807 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,560 Speaker 1: about the team on the grass, but I wonder his 808 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,120 Speaker 1: stats on grass. I don't know that I know he 809 00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,360 Speaker 1: missed a fifty nine yard or in Philly that's grass. 810 00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. But I don't know all the misses. 811 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,040 Speaker 1: But ironically, these are starting to look like a recurring theme. 812 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:31,200 Speaker 1: You on grass, you're missing? Yeah, you know he hadn't 813 00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:35,200 Speaker 1: He hadn't made a kick at all in twenty twenty three, 814 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,960 Speaker 1: Like until that fact. I love that. I love in 815 00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:43,719 Speaker 1: my mind just was like what I was like, wait, yeah, 816 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,040 Speaker 1: there you go, There you go. I got you. What's 817 00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:50,799 Speaker 1: your resolute? Well, I'm not gonna make a field goal 818 00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:52,759 Speaker 1: or an extra point for about three weeks, Like what 819 00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:54,719 Speaker 1: I want to go to Washington. I'm gonna miss my 820 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:56,719 Speaker 1: only kick there and I'm gonna miss the first four 821 00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,239 Speaker 1: and then I might might make one at the end.
