12
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: it's it's a chili outside, but it's not near as

13
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: bad as what it was yesterday, even though the temperature

14
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,839
Speaker 1: is probably lowered today than yesterday. It's that wind chill

15
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: factor that was it was horrible yesterday. And it's as

16
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: cold in here in the SWBC Mortgage studios as it

17
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: is outside. Kind of ice boxy in here, kind of

18
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: ice boxy. Yeah, let's warm it up, all right. We

19
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,160

Speaker 1: nine seven. Get things off your chest as well. Watching

24
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: Monday Night football last night, I did great game. That's

25
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: two straight nights. We've had great games, yes, Sunday Night

26
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: and then Monday Night. So you said you saw the

27
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: rate the TV ratings for the Sunday night games, yep,

28
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: and they were through the roof as expected or the

29
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: year or anything like that. It was the most watched

30
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: in DFW for a Cowboys game. I'm going to say

31
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: that off the top of my head, and I'm not

32
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: tracked this, but when you get numbers in the mid

33
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: thirties around I think it peaked at like a thirty

34
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: five rating. Wow, that is that's up there, and so

35
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: a lot of interest and it was an entertaining game.

36
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: Cowboy fans didn't like the results of that entertaining game,

37
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: but there's a lot of people tuned in. Are we

38
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: losing the fact that they played a good game and

39
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: lost to a good team. Are we losing a little

40
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: bit of that yeah? Or are we focused on the

41
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: fact too, maybe not too much, that they've played good

42
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: teams and haven't had any really any success against really

43
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: good teams this year. I mean, Jerry was very positive

44
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: and optimistic on his fan hit this morning, and you know,

45
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: Sean said it on the fan afterwards. I'm kind of

46
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: expecting a little bit matter Jerry after losing that game,

47
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: and obviously the questions about the play calling at the end.

48
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: But that was a back and fourth game, and I

49
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: think Jerry Jason brought it up. Nine possessions each. Both

50
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: teams had opportunities, and it came down to a couple

51
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: of plays. I know, when you lose, it's all right,

52
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 1: whose fault it is and all that. It's a good game,

53
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: good game between two good teams. They's two teams that

54
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: scored on five of their first eight possessions of that game. Yeah,

55
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: and one team got a touchdown, one more touchdown than

56
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: the other team did, and then the other team got

57
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: a field goal instead of that touchdown. Now there's the

58
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: difference in the game. He surprised that Jerry was a

59
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: little more optimistic than he expected. I told the guys

60
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: when I went on after him that it was like

61
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: a sword fight this morning. They would throw a sword

62
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: up here and Jerry would block it. They come up

63
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: with a sword over here, and Jerry came with a

64
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: backhand with his sword. So give us some highlights. Well,

65
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: I just think they thought he was going to be mad.

66
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: And that's what they were about everything, right and again.

67
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: And I've told these guys this, don't preface your question

68
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: with the fans want to know, or people want to know.

69
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: What's what you want to know? So just ask the question.

70
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: He doesn't mind it. He he actually embellishes when you

71
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: ask him, or not embellishes, but likes a tough question

72
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: because he will have you an answer and he'll diffuse

73
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: it if he disagrees with you. It's like he said,

74
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: he goes, yeah, let's go. He goes, you don't you

75
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: want to bring pisson vinegar, let's go. We'll do it.

76
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: You know, I gotta love it, you know. And and

77
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: he had a good answer for everything. It wasn't like

78
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: he was being Pollyanna or anything. He he just had

79
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 1: good answers to all the questions about you know, okay,

80
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: you call a play, and and uh, and if it

81
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: doesn't work, so why didn't it work? Did it not work?

82
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: Because it was the wrong play or did something happen

83
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: within the execution of the play that caused it to happen?

84
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: And I think you know, we both looked at the

85
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: third and two play, Yeah, because Mickey fans want to

86
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: know what happened on the third and twa. Yeah, I

87
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: mean you know, And I'm not sure you know they

88
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: called it an RPO. I don't think it was an RP. Oh.

89
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: I think it was a read option. I think it

90
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: was too because he would he if he had thrown

91
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: a pass. Connor Williams was five yards downfield because so

92
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: they were blocking for a run and his only other

93
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: option was to not hand off and go the other way,

94
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: as you don'tice when you tweeted me or text me

95
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: last night. But I still think ninety nine would have

96
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: stuffed him. Did Neil Hunter? Yeah? And actually on both

97
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: a second and two and third and two they were

98
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: very similar right where zone reads where that I think

99
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: had the option not hanned out off his eek and

100
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: And so I'm trying to remember in my own mind,

101
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: which did Collins had Hunter on the third and two?

102
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: Did Hunt? Hunter went left? Hunter was on Dak's right

103
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: right left, and he penetrated He got he got in Connetrationum,

104
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: but it looked like Collins. Collins had him sealed. It

105
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: looked like to me he would have had to cut inside, right.

106
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: He looked like, yeah, no, there was a guy. I

107
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: thought there was a gap between Hunter and whoever the

108
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: inside got the tackle was No, there was, But then

109
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: there was an Anthony Barr was standing about a yard

110
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: and a half beyond the first down where the first

111
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: down line would be, and so it was going to

112
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: be a one on one can get to that line

113
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: and beat Anthony Barr there, and so there was It

114
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: was not a given that he was going to get

115
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: the first down, and in fact, I think on both

116
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: of those plays it was not a given. But especially Okay,

117
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: so now you're looking at Okay, let's say he didn't

118
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: get to the first first down line. He was going

119
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: to get within a yard of the first down line,

120
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: which changes the complexion of fourth down, and got a

121
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: fourth and five. Yeah, you got fourth in less than

122
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: a yard, right. So But but here's the other thing.

123
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: And I know there's a lot of criticism about Jason

124
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: Garrett as far as hell he's handling those questions about that,

125
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: and I think I don't know if he alluded to

126
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: an RPO on it or if he may have said RPO.

127
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: I don't think he said RPO. Zeke was the one

128
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: that said, Okay, yeah, that's right. It was Zeke who

129
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: said it's an RPO. All right. Here's my thinking on that.

130
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: In any press conference setting, do fans really want their

131
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: head coach to tell the world what they had designed

132
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: on a play? Okay, the GiB was to Zeke, we

133
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: can look at the tape and kind of surmise that

134
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: it kind of looks like his own read there. But

135
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: do you want your head coach to be transparent and

136
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: tell other teams in the league all the options that

137
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: you had on that play, what we're thinking when we

138
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: get down in that situation next time. So Garrett gets

139
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: criticized for his press conferences and being robotic in everything,

140
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: Why would you want your head coach to tell other

141
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: teams in the league what you're doing? Because they want

142
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: to know exactly, and the media wants to know. It's

143
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: our job in the media to ask the questions. It's

144
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,679
Speaker 1: the coach's job not to answer the questions, in my opinion,

145
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: and there's other ways to find out, right, there's other

146
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: ways to find out. It's just like the punt you

147
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: know with Tavon Austin. Oh, you go back and look

148
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: at that. Yeah, we froze it twelve times yesterday after launch.

149
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: I made him come over and look at a lot

150
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: of green grass, a lot of green grass in front

151
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: of Tavon and and and Jason said there was not

152
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: good communication to him on what they would have liked

153
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: him to do. Now, mickey's your your impression from watching

154
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 1: him afterwards or just through the play that he felt

155
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: like he was fair catching it regardless. Yeah, because because

156
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: when he got to the sideline, he was standing there

157
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: next to Antoine Woods, and he was smiling, almost laughing.

158
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: I swear to god there looking at it. If you're

159
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: watching alone, he was waving for a fair catch before

160
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: the ball hit the guy's foot. Okay, I exaggerate, but

161
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,599
Speaker 1: that that left side man, look at this, if anybody's

162
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: watching this right now, left side, there's one guy that

163
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 1: would have gotten his way. And there was two blockers

164
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: there and I don't know where the punter is. The

165
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: punter was probably behind. The Vikings did not have their gunners,

166
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: and because they were, they were protecting against a block. Yeah. Yeah,

167
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: they didn't, and they didn't try an all out block.

168
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: The Cowboys didn't. They had guys back there to cover

169
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: the play. And I understand what the time left on

170
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: the clock, and I was around twenty five seconds whatever

171
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: it was. I understand. You do not want your punt

172
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: returner running sideways east west and wasting time. And Jason

173
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: said it in his press conference yesterday. You want him

174
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,599
Speaker 1: going north south, and I and he I think he

175
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: thought it was conveyed to the punt returner to go

176
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: north south and get as much as you can. There

177
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: was an opportunity to go north south, and in this

178
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: case it was west east. Yeah that's true. Yeah, yeah,

179
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: Actually it was east to west. Or he was west,

180
00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: he would have been running never by it. But anyway,

181
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: he I mean, he could have got to at least

182
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: I mean if it what if it took eight seconds

183
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: the east, yes, so does it. Yeah. Look, I'm trying

184
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: to replay. They're going towards that end of the stadium

185
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: where the sun shines through. I thought they weren't going

186
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: the other way. No, no, no, no, that's right because

187
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: it was on this Cowboys all right, I was right.

188
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: Now you continue where were you going? Keep going? Keep

189
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: going on focus. But well you could talk to Mickey.

190
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: It's like, even if it took even if it took

191
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: eight seconds to get where he was gonna go, you

192
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: would have still had time for two plays from no

193
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: less than thirty yard lines a play that you like

194
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: more so, right, and if you ran the play to

195
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: make up to make that yard and you're gonna use

196
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: up about eight seconds too. I mean, it's gonna be

197
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: faster if you're gonna run north south, it's gonna be

198
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: faster to field the punt and run than it is

199
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: to run a play and get that yardage. Yeah, that's

200
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: tough man watching that one back. But that's why, that's

201
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: why what, that's why you don't bet on games. Okay,

202
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: that was a prime example why you don't bet on games. Right,

203
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: there's a lot of prime examples. Yeah, even last night.

204
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: Yeah about the Monday night we were talking about coaching decisions. Okay,

205
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: about the forty nine ers. They get the ball back

206
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: Seattle has in overtime, Yeah, they get the ball back

207
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: in Seattle has no timeouts left. Okay, it was less

208
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: than two minutes left in the game. You're at your

209
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: I remember what yard line. Let's say they're at the

210
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: twenty five thirty yard line whatever, and they run three

211
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: pass plays, three incompletions and give the ball right back

212
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: to Seattle. You in that situation, you're tied up, the

213
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 1: other team has no timeouts left. Your number one priority

214
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: is make sure you get out of this game with

215
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: at least a tie. You're not going to give Russell

216
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: Wilson an opportunity with more. With a minute twenty left

217
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: in the game, they gave the ball back to Seattle.

218
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: They held the ball for like twenty seconds because they

219
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 1: threw three incompletions and they gave him time to make

220
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: a game winning drive. You have to run a running

221
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: play and milk the clock down under a minute, and

222
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: then you start trying to win the game, right, which

223
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: I heard people giving Gary Patterson grief for how he

224
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: ended them. We just regulation game with thirty six seconds left. Okay,

225
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: Now we've switched to college football. Now DCU and Baylor

226
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: overtime was there for those of you following a log

227
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: at home somewhere, it was there. It was their argument, though,

228
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: that they had the ball in their own twenty five

229
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: with thirty six seconds left in a tie game, and

230
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: they didn't try to go down and score, and he said, well, no,

231
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna go in the overtime. So it's just the

232
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 1: opposite of what you said. But it was thirty six seconds,

233
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: so anyway, you can't win. No, here's where I'm going

234
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: face if if it doesn't work, it's a wrong decision.

235
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: Even if the you know, the logic says you're doing

236
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: the right thing. But if it doesn't work on third

237
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: and two and second and two, it's the wrong decision.

238
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: No one wants to go back to the previous possession

239
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: when they passed the ball twice at the six yard

240
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: line and it didn't work. Was that wrong? They ran

241
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: the ball too many times. They're they're prisoners of their

242
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: identity because they got to run the football. They threw

243
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: the ball almost fifty times in the game. You're gonna

244
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 1: throw sixty, that's what fans wanted. But you know, I

245
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: do agree with the notion that you cannot You can't

246
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: put your quarterback in that situation over and over and

247
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: over again. You're not guaranteed to hit him Maari Cooper

248
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: for a big game. Every time you drop back, and

249
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: especially with a team that likes to blitz, you have

250
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: to do something to keep them a little bit off balance.

251
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: Now we can get into do they need to run

252
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: as much on first down as they have because they

253
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: didn't have success doing it for the most part. But

254
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: you know what on that drive, seventy yards to the

255
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: six yard line. Yeah, four times the first four plays

256
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: of that drive. The first four first downs of that drive,

257
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: they ran the ball, but they still went seventy yards.

258
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: So what's the difference if you run on first down

259
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: or second down. I'm sure there's some analytic dude out

260
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: there it's gonna tell me that, you know, it's better

261
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: to do it on second down than first down. But

262
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: they went seventy yards running each one of those first downs,

263
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: and they really didn't get anywhere, but they ran it

264
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: because they had to make them recognize the fact that

265
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: we are still going to run it and that's still

266
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott. Yeah, and it didn't work. And like I

267
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: said yesterday, if it had worked and they had scored

268
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: and they had won the game, we would have been

269
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: talking about how resilient this team is. And the defense

270
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: got a stop, got two stops late in the game,

271
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: and they found a way to beat a tough team

272
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: they didn't so we're harping on basically all the negative.

273
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: And I get it. There's there are trends that they

274
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: have they have to stop, they have to get off

275
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: to faster starts. They've got to be able to stop

276
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: the run against good running teams. I get it, um,

277
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: But there was some good that came out of that game.

278
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: Now you have put yourself in somewhat of a hole

279
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: when you look at San Francisco and Seattle. You got

280
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: to win your division and that's that's number one. Because

281
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: there's teams ahead of you now in this conference and

282
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: it is a difficult stretch stretch coming up for sure.

283
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you that that perception is still out

284
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: there because I did a I did a pregame interview

285
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: with tune In Radio that's very good app And one

286
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: of the questions they asked me, if Minnesota stops the

287
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: Cowboys running game, can beat them throwing the ball, and

288
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: I said, if they devote enough people to stop the

289
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: Cowboys running game, DAC will absolutely beat them with the

290
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: receivers that Cowboys had. And see that that's a positive

291
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: to take away, and that's four yards passing. He should

292
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: have been because what have we heard throughout his time

293
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: off and on here, it's like, well if they'll they'll

294
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: dare the Cowboys to throw and can dat take advantage.

295
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: They can do that, and you've shown it for nine

296
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: games now. Yeah. Yeah, and we've and we're also seeing

297
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb. I think he said after the game, that's

298
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: the best he's felt as a Dallas Cowboy. Just felt

299
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: like he was in the zone. I know he's had

300
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: he had a back thing earlier. Those are positives at

301
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: least offensively going forward, but you got to get Zeke going.

302
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: I mean, when when you don't run them. I think

303
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: David Moore had a stat there's four times in his

304
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: career he's rushed under fifty yards and they've lost every game. Well,

305
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: you know, they had Zeke going the last couple of games,

306
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: and so I think it's more an aberration. I mean,

307
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: I think Mickey may have talked about it yesterday. You

308
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: just know, from week to week in this league, you

309
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: know he can get he can go for twenty carries

310
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: for forty seven yards one week, and then he'll turn

311
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: around next week and go for one hundred and forty

312
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: seven yards on twenty carries against Detroit in Minnesota. Whoever

313
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: they're playing next week, they're liable to give up one

314
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards rushing to a team. I mean,

315
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: it just a lot of it has to do with

316
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 1: how your game plan week to week. I mean, if

317
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: these two teams played again next week, Zeke probably will

318
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: not get forty seven yards on twenty kerries. He'll probably

319
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: be over one hundred yards rushing against the same team.

320
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: It's just it's the way it is in this league.

321
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: Week to week, it's different and you make adjustments. And

322
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,239
Speaker 1: that was one of the things Jerry pointed out this

323
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: morning about, well, we learned about some of our running

324
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: schemes and some of the plays we tried to run

325
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,719
Speaker 1: or how we block it. Now we go back and

326
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 1: fix that stuff. So yeah, it's instructive. It's not like

327
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: you just got to jump out the window. I understand

328
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: they lost, and I understand everybody's it's a tough loss.

329
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: Sites Yeah, it is. It is, but you can't throw

330
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: in the towel. It's too early, get seven games left.

331
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: It did remind me, sorry, Bill, It reminded me though,

332
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: of the Saints game, where you know, you got to

333
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: give credit to them their front four or their front seven.

334
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: Just controlling things, and that has been a trend. When

335
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: they've lost this season, they haven't been the better team

336
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: at the point of attack. And this offensive line has

337
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 1: got to, you know, find that consistency against better fronts.

338
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: You know, well, think about it this way. So you

339
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: had Connor Williams out there playing with a knee that's

340
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: being scope today. You had Zach Martin out there with

341
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: an elbow that he's going to end up on the

342
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: probably injury report this week. Those guys are playing through things.

343
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 1: I guarantee a Tyrant Smith is still playing through that ankle.

344
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: It wasn't ankle, wasn't it. And and Lale Collins with

345
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 1: his knee, So I'm not giving him. And those guys

346
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: are tough as hell and they're fighting through it. Yeah, absolutely,

347
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: and so but they've found something I felt like the

348
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: last couple games, especially in the running game. And so

349
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's disappointing that sometimes you go up

350
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,959
Speaker 1: against some guys that are really good. You gotta give

351
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,719
Speaker 1: him credit. That's why I said the Saints have one

352
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: of the best fronts in the league. And they proved

353
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: it sense right, Yes, yes, they proved it since But

354
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 1: but that's your identity. You know those guys that's the

355
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: heartbeat of your team. And they pass blocked fine, somehow

356
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: he only got sacked once. All the blitzes they sent

357
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: and he only got sacked once. And how many times

358
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: he's been has he been sacked this year? So that's

359
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: eleven eleven times? How many times was he sacked last year?

360
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 1: Fifty six? Quite an improvement, That's that's kind of That's

361
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, is we're losing we're losing sight of

362
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: some of the positive that they're going on with this team.

363
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: But if you want to look at this particular game,

364
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: Vikings won the battle up front and there's no question

365
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: about it, both sides of the ball. Right. Mickey started

Speaker 1: Frisco dot com. Remember when I took the picture with

419
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: Charles Haley, I don't know, could you tweet that out

420
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: for us to look at or give its Kyle so

421
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 1: we can put it on the actual We did a

422
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: lot of time ago, we were back at the ranch,

423
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: and so it is somewhere on Twitter. Oh, I'm sure

424
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: it is. Okay, what exactly is this? You know how

425
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: he would always mess with me and pick me up

426
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: off the ground. I'd always tell him, Look, it's one

427
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: of my favorite things in life to see, I said,

428
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: I said, Charles, you can hit me, you can slug me,

429
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: just do not pick me up off the ground. Right,

430
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 1: that's an open invitation. Don't make me feel like a child. Charles. So,

431
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 1: he was promoting some sort of reading program in D

432
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: I S D. And we had him on the show

433
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: in the Little room back there, and it was like

434
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,959
Speaker 1: Douglas said, you know what, let's why don't you just

435
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: pick him? Pick him up? So he kind of carried

436
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: me like a child. So this so it was here

437
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,239
Speaker 1: at the Star, No, I said it was back at

438
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: the Ring at the Ranch. We're talking back twenty fifteen, probably, Okay,

439
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: I'm just doing a search. I'd just searched Spagnola and

440
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: Charles Hayley to see if it will come out here.

441
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: I can't find it right now. It's pretty funny though,

442
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: And so Christmas at the Star, the Christmas tree lightness,

443
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: it say when the Christmas tree lighting is going to occur.

444
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: It just says Christmas at the Stars starting twenty second.

445
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: So that is the Friday before the Patriots game, right, yes,

446
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 1: big watching party the day of the Patriots game, which

447
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: is a three twenty five kickoff outdoors, I believe. So

448
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 1: that was our read yesterday, the watch party. In fact,

449
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: I probably have it right here. Yes, the Sunday November

450
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: twenty fourth, in Tostito's Championship Plaza at the Star. You know,

451
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna put up our Christmas tree early

452
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 1: this year that weekend. I should do that too. And

453
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: the reason why is because Thanksgiving comes late twenty eight

454
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: that's too late. My wife has given me orders that

455
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: the weekend before the weekend of the Patriots game is

456
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: the Christmas tree lighting ceremony at the jones Estake. Well,

457
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,360
Speaker 1: so would you like to go and put mine up? Two?

458
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 1: Since I'll be out of time. Actually, we're getting a

459
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 1: new tree this year, so we have to go buy

460
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: one first. All so, I take it it's not a

461
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 1: fresh tree. Okay, let's go to Josh in Jacksonville. Jacksonville. Yeah,

462
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: how's it going guys? Great? All right, So, um, this

463
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: is actually not a like frustration call because actually I

464
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 1: was actually really encouraged by last the last game, you know,

465
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: um to say that we needed to put it in daksense.

466
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 1: It's just a testament of how far or how much

467
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: season improved from day one from his rookie year to

468
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: this year exact. Yeah, I'm pretty two years ago we

469
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: probably would be like, oh, we need to put it

470
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: in Deep's hands, but Dak's doing really good. In fact,

471
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: I'm actually was encouraged by the play calling too as well.

472
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: I mean, Jason had a point where I listened to

473
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: his press conference, you know, like we needed to run

474
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: the ball on the first downs and stuff, so that

475
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 1: way we can keep the defense honest, you know. And

476
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: so that's why, um, partially why attack was successful in

477
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: throwing the ball. I mean, he's I mean not to

478
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: say that he's not talented. He's really talented to as well. So, uh,

479
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,239
Speaker 1: if anybody was not encouraged by this football game, you know, UM,

480
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,239
Speaker 1: I don't know what what to say to them. And

481
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: even the defense, and uh, you know there was I

482
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,360
Speaker 1: think Layton was still seemed pretty hurt the way how

483
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: he how he tackled and stuff like that. So I

484
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 1: think he was pretty hurt there. So I don't think

485
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: too too bad of our of our defense. But I

486
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 1: wanted to ask questions about Connor, Connor Williams and uh

487
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: sue Philo. So I know that he's Connor's hurt, but uh,

488
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: I believe Connor's more of a better pass blockers than

489
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: Suet Philo, and Suet Filo is a better run blockers

490
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: than Connor. I don't know, Mickey, if you can expand

491
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: on that and I'll hang up the call. But um,

492
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 1: I was way encouraged by by this game, and we

493
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: need to pay Dak Prescott Annamar Cooper hopefully by them

494
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 1: this year. But thanks guys, You guys are doing a

495
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 1: great job, all right, Thanks very much. Josh from Jacksonville.

496
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: John to pay Randall Cobb too. By the way, Josh

497
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: Garrett from Jacksonville, I think his assessment was pretty good

498
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: on Suefilo. Yeah, Sue Philo and Connor Williams. And I

499
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 1: think what people need to remember is Sue Filo took

500
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: over for him when he had his right knee scope

501
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: last year, and then when he came back, he was

502
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 1: the backup. He went in for Zach Martin when Zach,

503
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: I guess it was his knee right, he missed the

504
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: start and he had to take over for him in

505
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: a game. And then when people try to say, well, yeah,

506
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: Sue of Filo is better, Connor Williams started both playoff

507
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: games and played well in those playoff games, So that

508
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: tells you what they think the difference is between those

509
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 1: two guys. And I thought Connor Williams was playing much

510
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: better this year than he had well. But I do

511
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: think Suaphilo helped them and was productive when he was

512
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,239
Speaker 1: in there. He got banged up to last year. If

513
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: you remember, yes, he did had an ankle and it

514
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: seemed to limit it his mobility as they as they

515
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: move forward, he does have some power that he can

516
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: bring to the offensive line. I'm not disagreeing with you, Mick,

517
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: but I think there's a reason why. You know, we

518
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: got questions in the off season about well you got

519
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: you got a surplus of depth, should that you trade

520
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 1: a guy like Sue of Philo. This is why you

521
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: don't do that, because you know I think he can

522
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: step in and give him something. No, I think he can,

523
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: but I think he's a little slow on pass blocking.

524
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: And I had a question from someone yesterday, why wouldn't

525
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,959
Speaker 1: you have Why is Sue Philo a better option starting

526
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: at guard than Joe Looney? Oh? Because he's better and

527
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: he's bigger. I think Joe's a nice backup center. Doesn't

528
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: or that's what I told him. Is that power to

529
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: play or the other part of it? Even if their

530
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: ability is equal, you still if it is equal, then

531
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: Sue Philo is your backup guard and you don't. And

532
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: what if something happened to Frederick you want him to

533
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: He want see Sue Filo to get all the first

534
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: team reps at left guard and not have Looney Band

535
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: playing left guard and then you then you got to

536
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: make two switch exactly. Travis goes down. Yeah, you don't

537
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: want to do that, all right, Chris from Connecticut, You're

538
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: next up here on Talking Cowboys. Hello Chris, Hey, everybody,

539
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: thanks so much for taking a call. Sure, fifty years

540
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: now as a Cowboy fan, and man, it doesn't get

541
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: any easier, you know what, And if you make it

542
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: another fifty years, it won't be any easier either. There

543
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: you go. Hey, I have a couple of observations to make,

544
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,239
Speaker 1: and I'm just hope, I'm hoping that maybe you can

545
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong. But I thought this was interesting.

546
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: I thought about this. Uh you know that last played

547
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: to Zeke. That's the empty backfield play, last game, last

548
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: last play of that series at the end there, And

549
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: that's the one that I have the most problem with.

550
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:52,719
Speaker 1: If you look back the last for critical you know,

551
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: playoff games and situations like that. You go back to

552
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: the Green Bay playoff game where where you know they're

553
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: they're driving for a potential touchdown, end up kicking that

554
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: field goal on third and two or three, they go

555
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: empty backfield. They take Zeke off the field. In that one,

556
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: the ball gets batted down, he has to rush the pass.

557
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: They did the same thing against the Ram last year.

558
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: Late in the third or fourth quarter, they're at the

559
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: fifty yard line, they go for it. On fourth they

560
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: go empty backfield, same results, same things. Fourth down against

561
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: the Jets, empty backfield, the ball, you know, he's got

562
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: to rush the pass, and then we go empty backfield

563
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: against Minnesota. It's just like, do you think that there's

564
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: a little trend there or what. So you're talking on

565
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: the fourth and five past to Zeke, Yeah, I mean,

566
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: why are we always going empty backfield in that situation?

567
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: I don't get it, because you're trying to make sure

568
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: that if they blitz, you know where the blitz is

569
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: coming from. Well the downside as you have no one

570
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: there to protect dak right. Well, his protection was fine,

571
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: wasn't it. I Mean he did get a little pressure

572
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: from his left and he had to throw over Tyrant Smith,

573
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: but he didn't stay with the play long enough. I

574
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: think when he goes back and looks at it, man,

575
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: did he have Randall cope Cob Cob had a step yep, yep. Hindsight. Yeah,

576
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: But that's why they go empty in those situations because

577
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: they if they're figuring okay, they know we're passing U.

578
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: If we play in tight, then they're gonna blitz and

579
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: it makes it a little more difficult to figure out

580
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: where the blitz is coming from. I appreciate that insight.

581
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: And do you have time for one more question? Sure?

582
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,479
Speaker 1: Why not? I guess the other thing is, I'm just

583
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: scratching my head as as to why a week. One

584
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: week they look great against the run in the screen,

585
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: you know, they look great against New Orleans, and then

586
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: you have this show up and what do you what

587
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: do you think is going on? Is it? Is it

588
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: a lack of discipline by you know, filling the gaps?

589
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: Is that I just it kind of blows my mind

590
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: that they can place, they can look so amazing one

591
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: week and then just look completely confused an act right.

592
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: Maybe it was because they were playing the NFL's leading rusher.

593
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: He's a special player, but Kimara is too, and you

594
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: bring up a good point there. They kind of kept

595
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: Kimara relatively in check in that game. I thought Jason

596
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: Garrett brought up a good point in that you know

597
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: they are an aggressive up the field defense and you

598
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: have to be able to harness that and not let

599
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: that be used against you. And I think Minnesota did that.

600
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: I think they used their aggressiveness against them on some

601
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: of those screens, but especially the screens, especially especially early,

602
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: those two early in the game that got him a

603
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: couple of stopped in the run. They I mean, they

604
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: were just getting gashed. I don't know, you know, there

605
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: were holes there and then they you give that guy

606
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: ahead of steam and now he's running over your linebackers.

607
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: In the second half, first half they did twenty seven yards. Yeah, right,

608
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: and then he goes for seventy and then Madison went

609
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: for or whatever, he went for two fifty two not

610
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: only eight carries. Yeah, that's a problem. And that's how

611
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: you hold to hold the ball for twelve minutes in

612
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: the third quarter. Two? Yeah, because when did they have

613
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: one possession in the third one in one possession? It

614
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: was a quality possession, but it was it was only one.

615
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: All right? You want the TV ratings now or after

616
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: the breaks? All right? TV ratings? Berry Horn on Twitter

617
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: about the same time that Mickey asked me about the

618
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: TV ratings. As these numbers Minnesota Saint Paul outscored DFW.

619
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: The vikings won the TV ratings two thirty nine point

620
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: three to thirty five point four, so the cow So

621
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: DFW had a thirty five point four rating. Minneapolis St.

622
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: Paul thirty nine point three. The number three market nationally

623
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: was Old Reliable San Antonio at twenty five point four,

624
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: followed by Austin at twenty four, Houston eighteen point six.

625
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: I wonder how that ranks with any Texans game down there.

626
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: Up next was Memphis at eighteen point two, where they

627
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: must have been thrilled by Tony Pollard's one carry from

628
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: Berry Hard. So they didn't he didn't have the national rating,

629
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,279

00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 1: I am looking for the national numbers on the Sunday

681
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: Night football and the final numbers are near a season

682
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 1: high according to this article, I've reading an average, so

683
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: i'll kay allow just read it. The final numbers are

684
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 1: in for last night's white knuckler between the ultimately victorious

685
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: Minnesota Ikes of the Dallas Cowboys. That they look good.

686
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: Indeed when it comes to the map, scoring an average

687
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 1: of twenty three million viewers last night's Sunday Night game,

688
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: which Sunday Night Sunday Night game is the one hundred

689
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 1: time over the past ten years. Add it is topped

690
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: twenty million, So it was good. I don't know what

691
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 1: that tells you. What was that Sunday night or Monday night?

692
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: It was Sunday night. Okay. This article was written yesterday.

693
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, got you? Yeah? Okay, So now I did

694
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,760
Speaker 1: see something where actually it was a shade under twenty

695
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: three million viewers and the three twenty five kickoff the

696
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: Panthers who they play let me find it here green Bay.

697
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: Green Bay actually had twenty three point one nine six

698
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: million viewers and the Vikings Cowboys had twenty two point

699
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: nine eight eight. Now the difference there. There's more to

700
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: watch on a Sunday night than there is on a

701
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon, right, yeah, there's not much NFL is. I mean,

702
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 1: it is unbelievable how much the NFL is king in

703
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: TV ratings. I mean, you look at anything across the

704
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: board and it's just a smidgin of what an NFL

705
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 1: game gets. It ain't. It ain't dropping much as No,

706
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,080
Speaker 1: it isn't. It's how many people watch The Office? This

707
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 1: every week? The Office is no longer on so none,

708
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 1: it's in syndication. Yeah, well, how many people watch that?

709
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: I told Mickey about The Office yesterday, so now he's

710
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: on it. Oh okay, but I told him it was great.

711
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 1: You ever watched Friends? Very rarely? And I guarantee I

712
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: never watched one all the way through? Why, Like, if

713
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: you're just surfing and you see it, and I'll say,

714
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 1: I love Friends, Okay, I don't watch much TV. I

715
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: don't either, but I started watching Friends and it's going

716
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 1: away from Netflix. Oh no, it's bad. Yeah, it's bad news.

717
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 1: Are you are a Friends guy? I wasn't actually Okay, well,

718
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 1: so much for that to find a different audience. You

719
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 1: just watched it to see Jennifer Aniston, right, and uh,

720
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:48,240
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the fourth and five. Easy

721
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: segue there, all right? The fourth and five past to Zeke? Yes,

722
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: what do you think of it? Like? I thought he

723
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: had better options if he had stayed on the plata,

724
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: had better options. Yes, okay, what do you think of it?

725
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: I thought Cobb had had a step on his man

726
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: working inside. And did Dak look to Witten first? Was

727
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 1: that his first? So the right? Collinsworth tried to say

728
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,320
Speaker 1: that he looked for a mari and they doubled Marie

729
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 1: high and low. But I did never see look to

730
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 1: the right. Here we go, Here we go. We're watching

731
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:27,359
Speaker 1: it here now. And Kendricks is a great coverage linebacker too.

732
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 1: I mean that that's a heck of a play to

733
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 1: the sideline. Back it up there and take it all

734
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,919
Speaker 1: the way back to the snap Kyle Yeoman's if you can.

735
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 1: And let's see if how much he looks right? He

736
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: glanced over Boom, but he never waited to see what

737
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 1: the route developed. Now, now about Zeke, that's a tough

738
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 1: play for I think for a running back to make

739
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,879
Speaker 1: I mean it's not just a little flare pass out there.

740
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 1: I mean that ball is fired for an out route

741
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: for a running back to make that play. If it

742
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:03,800
Speaker 1: didn't get tipped, I think he had it. Yeah maybe

743
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,240
Speaker 1: all right, let me ask you this, what about his route?

744
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: Did you look at his route? Probably didn't go deep

745
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 1: enough like he well he was, I mean he was

746
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: a yard and a half beyond the sticks. Yeah, and

747
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 1: I don't know. Again, this is one thing. It's kind

748
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: of like um Collins where its people, you know, Yeah, Okay,

749
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:32,399
Speaker 1: we don't know what the route was supposed to be. Yeah,

750
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:38,280
Speaker 1: exactly if he had made a sharp cut to the sticks, Okay,

751
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: it looked like he d If he was supposed to

752
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: think out that, he drifted deeper and it gave an

753
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: angle to Kendricks to make the play. Uh, if he

754
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: had made a sharp cut to the sideline, Kendricks might

755
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 1: have not had an angle to knock it away. It

756
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:59,760
Speaker 1: might knocking it away. But again that gets back to Zeke.

757
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: Does it run that route very often? Right? You know?

758
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: And I'm sure when they when they left for the play,

759
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:11,879
Speaker 1: it was like, Okay, our best matchup is Zeke A linebacker. Yeah,

760
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: and that's fair. And but good things happen when they

761
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,240
Speaker 1: run screens with Zeke. But that's an entirely different animal

762
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 1: than what he was asked to do on that particular play, right,

763
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: that's right. I love Zeke as a receiver, yeah, and

764
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: maybe that's something they need to look at more. I

765
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: think Garrett was asked about that yesterday. You know, are

766
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:34,720
Speaker 1: they involving him enough in that regard? You don't like that? No,

767
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 1: I but he was asked that. That's what I was

768
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 1: shaking my head for. So well, what's wrong with asking that? Well? No, no, nothing.

769
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: But when Cooper's catching eleven passes for one hundred and

770
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,240
Speaker 1: forty seven yards and Cobb's catching six for one hundred

771
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 1: and six and Gallop four for seventy six and jar

772
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: one just three for thirty five, how many more plays

773
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 1: you have to throw Zeke the ball? Another way to

774
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: get you It's not if it's not a screen, and

775
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: you're probably not screening when you're that close to the

776
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: goal line, right, because you're not not. Yeah, that's you're

777
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: not spreading enough people out. YEA. I like what you're saying, Rob,

778
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 1: that it's another way to employ Zeke you know, so

779
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: give him a long handoff instead of a short Yeah,

780
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:22,919
Speaker 1: that's right, But I get your point. I mean they're

781
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,439
Speaker 1: they're spreading it around, and that's kind of goes back to, well,

782
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 1: you know why runs so much? You did? You did

783
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: throw almost fifty times in this game, forty six passes,

784
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 1: just not late I wonder. I mean, it's just not

785
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: what it battered the vote. I should I should have

786
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: looked this up. But like, what's his career high for attempts?

787
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:48,800
Speaker 1: Do you think he's throwing fifty? I don't think he has.

788
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: He may have in one of these games where they've

789
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: been behind, and trying to catch that answer for you

790
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:54,879
Speaker 1: if you can vamp for a second, Yeah, I think

791
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 1: he's hit fifty before because they end up running the ball.

792
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: What twenty two times? Twenty two runs forty six? I

793
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 1: got one minute, I got one to try to find

794
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: in this media guide what his career I is for attempts.

795
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 1: Brian always says this, and I agree with him. They're

796
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:17,240
Speaker 1: they're at their best when he's throwing twenty eight times

797
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: and they're running at twenty five. Yeah, well, they weren't

798
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,839
Speaker 1: at their best because they weren't getting anywhere running the ball,

799
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 1: but they were gashing them throwing the ball. They were,

800
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: and you know, and they adapted. Everybody goes, why can't

801
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 1: they adapt? They did adapt. They ended up throwing the

802
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:36,439
Speaker 1: ball almost fifty times, actually forty seven if we count Cobbs. Yes,

803
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 1: we shan't play. He had fifty four attempts last year

804
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 1: against Philadelphia. He was forty two out of fifty four

805
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 1: for four hundred fifty five yards at seventy seven point

806
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 1: eight percent completion percentage asteris, two interceptions, three touchdown. Was

807
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: that the overtime game? That was the overtime game? A right,

808
00:44:56,239 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: it was, okay, find one in regulation. Now I always

809
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: have to have an asterisk. Um, he hasn't hit fifty

810
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: this season? Right? No? Yeah? No? Um? He had forty

811
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 1: five in his rookie and his first start ever. What

812
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: do you mean the first game twenty five out of

813
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 1: forty five this season opener against the Giants in twenty sixteen,

814
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 1: and they won, they lost, they lost twenty to nineteen. Yeah,

815
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:26,839
Speaker 1: and so I think he's got to have more than

816
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: forty five. Let's see. Oh, he hit fifty against Denver.

817
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 1: Oh that was they were way behind. Usually it's when

818
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 1: they couldn't run in that game, right, he had like

819
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 1: nine yards or something. Yeah. Yeah, And let's close with

820
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: a picture of Mickey. You guys are really looking there.
