All 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:15.639 these they always they're always looking for one, I mean, 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:19.280 and nobody captured it better than the old reality show 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:22.799 Flavor of Love. I doubt I was almost gonna say, 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:25.160 I almost can guarantee it's probably gonna be a woman, 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:31.600 Miss New York Man. Flavor made sure she took that 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:38.440 fifteen minutes and they made sure that that woman I 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:40.919 loved the end when she got cut, I don't care, 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.000 I don't care. And you just see it, walk up 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:46.200 the seeing the car crying. Let me tell you something, 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:48.880 she should have got some hands put on her. But 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:54.040 spending that la place that was on she should have 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:57.400 put she should have put her hands on her every 0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:01.120 time she's seen her, because it was a lugie. It 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:05.959 was speaks to it. It wasn't just no regular spit, 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:07.799 all right, it was that. It was that stuff that 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:09.880 come from down up and to wipe it off the 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:17.040 So hopefully on your reality show Survivor, we don't see 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:20.440 anything like that. But I just know the magic formulas 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:22.480 they make these television shows as they looked for one 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:29.240 crazy Negro. Was that was bridget on our show? Yes, yes, yes, 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:34.800 the Flavor of Love. That was when I was I 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:40.680 raise my hand. I unfortunately got sucked into shows that 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:44.640 was the best years of it, rains waste themselves. It 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:48.640 was so bad it was good, you know. I tell myself. 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:52.960 I had to stop watching The Millionaire Matchmaker and and 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:56.480 Real Housewatch I was. I was unfortunately doing that. I 0:03:56.480 --> 0:04:00.160 had to stop. I'm a real housewise watcher. Now. I 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.680 watched the Salt Lake. I watched Potona. I don't even know. Yeah, 0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:07.480 I watched. I watched all that's interesting. Watch she did 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:09.480 she did. I didn't know anything about it until I 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:11.520 saw her watching one of them like that. All right, wait, 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:18.039 it's something to New Jersey. They man, it's interesting to 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:21.520 see the like the different dynamics based on the location. Right, 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.840 So Beverly Hills versus New York versus Atlanta. You know 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.839 it's a it's the only female on the show. I 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:29.480 just want to say, you, guys, I did not start 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:33.120 this conversation nai go on social media thing. That's why 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:36.840 BRIT's there. You guys just talking about Real Housewife. Never 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:39.200 seen it, don't watch it. I enjoyed the Real Housewife. 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.920 I enjoyed, I watched. I watched a lot of reality TV, 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:44.240 and now I am on reality TV. Look at my 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:48.240 guy out here. I never survived. I've never watched Survivor, 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:50.960 so this will be my first time. I've never watched Survivor, 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.599 so be into this. A couple of reality shows I 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:55.560 just haven't watched. That's that's one of them, so I'll 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:58.400 be interested in that. Never watched the batchroom of The Bachelorette, 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:01.240 so same, that's a another one that I won't won't 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:05.640 get into. Watched that. I'm on that, I'm on that 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:09.800 on that church is right there, President, and y'all, I'll 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.680 watch none of these shows. Bravo, the team, Bravo, Yeah, 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:22.360 I'm on it. And millions he had him down here, 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:25.640 My boy, Bill, you know, had some legal trouble right now, baby, 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:32.520 well let's shot at them. Cabot. We're gonna we're after 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:35.360 dark with Andy Cole. We're talking about you. You know 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:38.039 it'll be good Andy bring out Bones Fossils. So Bone, 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:44.280 let's talk about that punt unit sitting here to recap 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:47.600 what happened. We have a kamara, We've got a coach 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.200 from mccarte. I mean literally, you could have Andy Cole 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:55.640 right there because that was it was a issue in 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:58.800 the game. But if you start to think about Bones 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:02.320 Fossils two years that's a special teams coach. You look 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:06.600 at this and you just say, hey, man, brother bro 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:11.080 bro him what you're doing. Jerry Jones spoke about it 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.240 on one oh five three the Fan, and Jerry said 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:16.360 that he's a conservative person in terms of special teams, 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:19.080 and Jerry went into his background playing at the University 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.880 of Arkansas for Frank Boyles where they won a national championships. 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:25.279 Jerry's a very conservative guy when it comes to special teams. 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:28.400 Bones Fossil ended up talking about. Now, just in case, 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:31.880 let me just highlight the play. So at this point 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:36.200 in the football game, it is a fourth and twenty 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:40.400 on the forty six and the Cowboys go out to 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:41.880 the punt. They get the rough and to kicker with 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:43.560 one fifty three to go, and they call it on 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:47.919 Camaro and then the Chargers get the football first intended 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:52.440 to thirty nine. They run off one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:55.880 eight plays, they missed the field goal. They missed the 0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:58.640 field goal, and the Cowboys going to the half fourteam 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:03.760 to eleven. And this is what bones Fossil said to 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:08.280 the media yesterday. I didn't get who they actually my 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:10.320 jersey number because it was a train wreck right there 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.720 at the block spot. But what I got on film 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:16.480 is that they're number forty, hook Kamara and pulled them 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:20.880 back into the punter. And you know, you can make 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:23.440 a great case it was holding or that the punter 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:26.800 hit his own blocker, but there's a lot of bodies 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:29.920 at that pilot, so um our goal is to come 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:34.920 after him. Okay. That was a part of the explanation. 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:38.360 He also went on to say and tried to rationalize 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:41.880 what happened in the game by putting it on the 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:44.400 fans and saying, all right, you know, well, cat with fans, 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:46.160 you want to you know, you want to aggressive, So 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:47.720 I tried to get a fans what they need and like, 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:51.880 can't wait to talk to Danny and Arry about this 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:54.240 guy who played on special teams. So Danny, I'm gonna 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:57.560 start with you phones fossils, like I'm trying to just 0:07:57.600 --> 0:07:59.040 get a fans. Well, that will get a people what 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:01.520 they want. Yeah, you know, I'm not gonna go too 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:03.840 hard on on coach file. So I think the last 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:06.400 two years, well, his first year here, he made some 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:10.560 head scratching decisions as far as what he's calling and 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:13.880 when he's calling it um and this has been no different. 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:16.680 I would have rather him come out and say, hey, man, 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:20.000 this was our game plan and this is what we 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:22.080 said we were gonna do in this situation, and it 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:24.640 just didn't work out for us. And you know, we'll 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:26.640 think about that a little harder next time we get 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:30.760 into the situation. Instead, my man says, hey, Cowboys fans, 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:32.520 you know I answered the call foree y'all. Man, I 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.400 heard y'all. I've been listening to the podcast, I've been 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:38.920 reading the newspaper. I actually heard y'all in the stands. 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:41.520 Since it was so many Cowboys fans in the stands 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:45.560 out there in LA and I heard y'all saying rush, rush, rush, rush, 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:49.319 and I say, you know what, yeah, I'm gonna go 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:52.040 ahead and satisfy the fans because that's the type of 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:54.440 coach that I am, all right, And then he called 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:57.160 the blocking. It didn't work out for him. It doesn't 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.520 really make much sense to explanation. You know, he's the 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:02.040 coaching to call those things. Didn't make much sense to me. 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:04.199 But you know that's why he get paid the big 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:06.839 bucks for now. Yeah, I mean, look, it was it 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:08.959 was just a bad mistake and you got to own it. 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:10.520 I mean, look, if he if he goes out there 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:12.559 and blocks the punt and we're in great field position 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:14.800 or were even scored, and he's a genius, but it 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:16.880 happened the opposite way. He ended up getting the flag 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:19.920 and prolonging the Chargers drive on that one. So for me, 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:22.040 you know, as a coach, you would love for him 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:23.559 to just say, you know what, hey, that's the risk 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:26.000 I took. You know, I'm in this business to take risks, 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:27.959 and that was a risk that ended up failing for me. 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:30.319 But you know, it happens. It happens. It's called football. 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:32.800 But instead of that, he tried to you know, switch 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:35.199 things around a little bit and say, hey, you know what, 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:38.280 I did this for the fans, for the diehard fans 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:40.800 that you know, we've been used to mediocrity here for 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:43.079 the past couple of years, and you know what, I'm 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:46.000 taking risk. I'm a risk. Take I did this for y'all. No, no, 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.760 you didn't do that for the fans. You went out there, 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:50.400 you tried to block the punt. You tried to you know, 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:52.800 put your special team stamp on the game and ended 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:55.120 up backfiring. I mean, that's just as simple as it was. 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:57.080 He just gotta take it on the chin and ride 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.960 with it like that. But instead he tosses on Cowboys Nation. 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:03.400 You know, Cowboys Nation is not going to respond well today. Yeah, 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:06.120 you know, we got some of the most wilent fans 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:08.319 out there. They go, they're gonna voice their opinion. So 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:10.400 I'm interested to see how they react to this. But 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:11.840 to me, you gotta take that one on the chain. 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:13.680 Well as a fan, it's a slap in the face 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:15.760 to the fans because it's something that didn't work. It's like, 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.280 oh see, y'all said this and didn't work. So guess 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:19.880 you guys don't know what you're talking about That's what 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.360 it sounded like to me. So I don't know, but 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:25.719 I think I'm not as mad as at him for 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:29.160 the play or the situation. I think that that's what 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:32.079 you're supposed to do when you're playing football, is in 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:38.240 that situation as a special teams person rush the kicker. Unfortunately, 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:40.560 I think he didn't really look at who he has 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.120 on the field because Kamara, that was his first game 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:46.240 playing yesterday. He's not a vet. So I think if 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:48.640 you would have had a seasoned guy in that, he 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:50.760 would have been able to read the situation better and 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.360 not have made that mistake. I think that was where 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:55.760 the mistake was, is not knowing who's out there and 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:58.760 who's in a situation to do something like that if 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:01.199 you know it works. It worked with the Steelers game. 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:04.679 It's it happens, and he's the everybody's hero if that 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:06.400 does work. So I think you do have to do 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:08.240 that kind of stuff. And he said that was his 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:10.360 game plan every time. It's not a question, that's what 0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:13.160 we're doing. And I don't fault him for that at all. 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:15.600 I just think he should have known who he had 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:18.400 out there as a coach and decided, hey, you know, 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:20.760 maybe I'm not gonna put this on this guy right 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:22.599 now because I don't think he's ready to deal with that. 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:26.559 So oh, go ahead, And he asked, oh no, I 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:30.199 you know, it's like I said, it's his right to 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:32.719 make the call um fourth and twenty. You know, like 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:34.559 I said, he does have to know his guys. But 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:36.920 I think this is just a continuing trend for my 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:38.959 man bones Fossil, all right, Like I said, you know, 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:41.360 we run a fake punt on for my own twenty 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:44.719 last season. Uh, and it makes absolutely no sense. Is 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:48.079 was it a reverse? A reverse? It was reverse, so 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:50.559 you actually lose yards on the play in order to 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:52.280 try to gain some more yards. And you know, in 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:54.559 the situation didn't make sense. Even if he didn't pass it. 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:57.600 It was fourth and five, he had run thirty yards 0:11:57.679 --> 0:11:59.920 just to get bad um. You see some of the 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.600 squift kicks that happen in game one, uh this year, 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:04.360 where we're like, why don't you just kick it out 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:06.520 the back of the end zone. We have our field 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:09.800 goal kicker who misses so much time throughout the preseason 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:12.000 comes in and try to kick a sixty yard or 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:14.880 just some of the some of the decisions here like 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:16.880 you got. You gotta have faith in your guys, but 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:19.160 at some point you gotta protect your guys as well. 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:21.079 I want to ask you, do you think he has 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:24.040 too much faith in the guys, because is he, like 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:27.400 you know, um, writing up stuff that these guys can't 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:29.520 handle at this point in time. No, I think that 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:32.319 he has too much, too much leeway. I think that 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:35.679 somebody needs to put him to the side and say, hey, man, 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:39.240 come on you. You are about to single handedly at 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:42.920 some points get us all fired, all right, because you know, 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:45.880 as the head coach here, it all comes back to 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:48.560 me no matter what, right, because you know they're gonna say, hey, man, 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:51.040 did you run that by McCarthy and then McCarthy say 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:52.880 it was okay for you to run a faith from 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:54.839 the twenty? Did he say it was okay for you 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:57.000 to try to rush the kicker on fourth and twenty 0:12:57.240 --> 0:12:59.480 instead of playing it safe and giving our offense the 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:01.560 chance to move the ball down the field like they've 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:03.719 been doing all day. Right, So I think this is 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:05.640 you know, at some point you have to set as 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:08.360 a bro hey, just call caller regular if you're gonna 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:10.319 try something crazy, walk over to me and ask me 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:13.280 and I can tell years ahead ahead. I just want 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:15.520 to say real quick, you don't want, you know, offense 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:18.360 wins loses game, defense wins. You don't want the special 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:19.959 teams to be the reason why you lose the game. 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:22.480 So yeah, but that's been a consistent Probably that makes 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:24.480 sense for the past he wants to put his a game, 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:26.520 but for the past three seasons. Yeah, we keep talking 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:29.880 about the Cowboys losing the special team's battle. You go 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:33.120 back into once again, look at the situation the football game. 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:35.839 It's fourth and twenty. You're getting the football back. It 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:39.719 is one fifty two o nine when he calls, so 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.840 it's right before the two minute drill. Here, you're getting 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:45.760 the football back. The previous possession, you'd gone ten yards 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:48.040 they start, I mean, ted Blade, you started it. You're 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:50.480 only twenty three dry stall members a fourth and five 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:53.000 and incomplete pass to Cooper at the forty one. So 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:55.480 you were having some success with your football team at 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:58.559 this point time. Just get the ball back. Let Dak 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.160 run the two minute drill. Did you need to at 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:03.920 this point time in a three point game go for this? Yeah. 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:05.760 I looked at and I said, Nah, that really wasn't 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:07.840 the time to go ahead and do that. Your offense 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:09.440 have been playing well and just didn't have a lot 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:12.760 of possessions. Cow was eight possessions in this whole football game. 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:15.040 So that's my thing. I just kind of shook my 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:17.319 head at it. Here is Bones Fossil with the media 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:21.520 yesterday giving his explanation about the going for the black punt. 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:25.640 I think Cowboys fans aren't the play it safe type, 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:27.640 so I was gonna give them what they wanted, come 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:30.280 after their ass on punt rush. So I hope they're 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:34.000 happy with it because we came. We came after them. Um, 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:35.840 it's kind of the miset going into the game and 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:38.680 we're gonna we're gonna come after this, come after this football. 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:43.960 And you can sure debate everything, but I'm still not 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:46.200 so sure that we actually roughed them well at three 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:48.440 point lead. I find that interesting. So, Danny, I was 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:51.800 telling you earlier. So in my ethics class, my business 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:55.160 ethics class that I'm taking here last night, I had 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:58.440 to read one of these long papers and in it 0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:02.280 it talked about a rationalization, and that's what you just 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:04.920 heard from Bones False. It's called rationalization. I ain't gonna 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:07.680 rationalize what it is I did even though you guys 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:10.160 are like, what the heck did you do? And within 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:13.360 that it says the problem is how to admit a 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:16.840 wrongful conduct at the same time avoid the blame to 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:19.680 The major strategy here is passing the buck. One acknowledges 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:22.240 the existence of a problem but makes someone else responsible 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:24.600 for it, which is I did this for the fan, 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:27.200 I did for you, I do it for me. Now 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:30.520 that was for you. No, no, this is wrong. And 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:34.360 I go back to one reason why bones Fossil got 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:36.920 let go with the Rams. One of the stories that 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:40.560 I heard was that he called a fake punt and 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:43.640 didn't tell Sean mcbeck, and that was kind of like, 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:45.720 you know, we're gonna go ahead, do go out a 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:48.520 little separce. Some he did that last year too. I 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:51.080 want to notice, So what do you think our issue 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:54.080 is specifically with special teams, Coach? I feel like we've 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:58.320 lost two two really top not guys right around the league. 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:01.000 You would say that Joe D. Camillis is a known 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:03.320 name around the league. He got out of here in 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:05.840 what the Chicago and then you see rich as soon 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:08.480 as John got the job out there for the Raiders, 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:11.680 Rich as like I'm out of here and then yeah, 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:14.120 risk Besoa. So we bring in Ko, who is trying 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:18.200 to run Rich's skins. He was and he wasn't and 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:20.560 he wasn't ready to do it. Uh, and now we 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:23.960 got we got bones from La, who's the total opposite 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:25.960 of what Joe D And Rich were as far as 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:29.160 their philosophy when it comes to special teams. Right, you 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:31.640 take chances when when it makes sense. Right, I got 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:34.360 a punt block against Philly the year we went four 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:37.640 and twelves. Yeah, we were all the way in their territory. 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:40.000 Our quarterback was out, So at that point we were 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:41.960 desperate when you know what, I'm sad to make a play. 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:45.840 Not the situation that we went through. Uh, this Sunday, 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:48.080 we gotta you gotta get a happy medium here. Like 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:50.760 when we had Joe D and we had Rich out here, 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:53.560 we didn't really have a big emphasis on special teams 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:55.200 and they always kind of just you know, through guys 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:57.280 in there were never really outside of you maybe Will 0:16:57.320 --> 0:16:59.080 Burn and a couple of other Cats, we didn't have 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:01.320 any core special teamers and they didn't really put the 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:03.640 emphasis on special team. So I feel like those guys 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:05.320 felt like, hey, you know, we're not wanting here, We're 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:07.800 gonna go somewhere where we're wanted. Now we have the 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:10.960 situation where fossils in here and we're putting them up 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:13.200 on the pedestal. We're giving him all this leeway. You 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:14.639 can call what you want this fourth and three, go 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:16.920 ahead and call these guys, bring your guys in, do 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:18.840 what you want to do. And we're putting this huge 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:21.040 emphasis on special teams. So he feels like, hey, I 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:22.480 got a little juice here. Let me go ahead and 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:25.080 flex a little bit. And so far his flexes have been, 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:27.440 you know, not the right thing to do, especially last 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:29.720 year after those couple fakes that we had on fourth down, 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:32.240 which are still head scratching to me. I just think 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:33.760 we gave him a little bit too much leeway. We 0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:36.000 got to find a happy medium in there, somewhere to 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:38.159 where he's not just going out here calling fakes and 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:41.159 colin blocks and you know, in opportune times. I mean, 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:43.440 like you said, why wouldn't you just that too minute, Drew, 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:45.680 It's fourth and twenty, Why don't you set up a 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:48.080 nice return to get the ball back for your offense. 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:50.920 The Chargers haven't stopped the offense all day. Dak was 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:53.240 doing this thing all day. So let's just sit back, 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:55.280 let the offense do what they gotta do instead of 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:57.560 trying to put our special team stamp on the game. 0:17:57.840 --> 0:17:59.399 And that's what I think Rich and Joe d did 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:01.119 a great job. They let the game come to them. 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:02.840 They didn't just go out there and take Hella wrists 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:05.240 like that. And that's what we're seeing last and messing 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:07.480 up my top ten defense. Man, if they get more yards, 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:13.080 they get more yards. Almost almost tied the game the 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:16.120 game luckily the field goal was real quick new Yeah, 0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:18.200 I can taste that steak right now that Danny's fitting 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:20.080 the half after pay me after this top ten, get 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:23.160 that heavy butter with the libster. Yeah, it's crazy because 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:25.680 we got Washington twice, we got a Philly who I 0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:27.560 think we're gonna shut down this week. So I mean, 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:29.720 we got a chance to get up to fifteen games, 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:35.119 and we're getting better. The defense is getting better. We 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:40.000 talk about the defense, it's getting better. Huh yards about yea, 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:42.520 we get better. We guess the total defense. Now, yeah, 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:48.719 you know you didn't the point that out, but now 0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:53.680 I do. Speaking of the defense getting better, let's talk 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:56.159 about how they will have and improve defense Monday Night 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:58.800 when they take on the Philadelphia Eagles.
