Gentleman, 14 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: How are we doing fantastic? I'm doing swell, Kyle doing great, 15 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: doing great? I'm doing great. How about that Tony the 16 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: Tiger in here? Because you nailed it the Cowboys. I 17 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: did nail it. I put it on Twitter. I'm done 18 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: bragging because I want to brag about the team who 19 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: I want to brag about what they did that man 20 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. That team went out and did what they 21 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 1: absolutely needed to and they got the job done. Now 22 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: it had some ups, it had some downs. Their improvements 23 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: still to be made, which is encouraging because going into 24 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: San Francisco, you're gonna need to make some improvements. However, 25 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: we can rest on this one because this was what 26 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: that that that Cowboys team that we had been hoping 27 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: and praying to seeing the H word finally founded Isaiah. 28 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: They did. They did, and we had nothing but hope 29 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: to go off of coming into this game because we 30 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: know based upon history this year they played down to 31 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 1: down teams and they play up for up teams, and 32 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 1: we were hoping that being the playoffs, you're gonna be 33 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: playing an up team. No matter who they are, there's 34 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: gonna be a team that's on the up. So history 35 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 1: stated as no see would say that they were gonna 36 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: be trending in the playing well category right and in 37 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: that direction, and they did that. They showed up, they 38 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: played well. I think this is one of their better 39 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: victories of the year, if not the best victory of 40 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: the year. Because of the turn of the Tide in 41 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: terms of how they went about it, I think that 42 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: this team was more prepared than they've been all year long, 43 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: and that's the way it should have been. Offensively, obviously, 44 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: they were more prepared. They were making great decisions. Offensively, 45 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: they were running the ball that the passing game was pristine. 46 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,959 Speaker 1: Dak's decision making was on point, utilized his legs and 47 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 1: moved the chains. He was smart with the ball. Defensively, 48 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: these guys, you know, Al Harris, dan Quinn, the rest 49 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 1: of Joe Way Junior, all these guys allowed these defensive 50 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: backs to come up like we talked about and bless 51 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,119 Speaker 1: these receivers of Tampa Bay by putting their hands on them. 52 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:22,959 Speaker 1: We said that you can't play off, right, There's a 53 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: couple of times in the game where you saw they 54 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: played off and they took the easy ones, they got 55 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: the easy completions. But when our defensive backs came up 56 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: and they put them hands on them chests, that's right, 57 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: they went the pound town. Okay, So they did a 58 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: great job of getting up there, and because of that, 59 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: it disrupted Tom's timing, It disrupted Mike Evans, disrupted God 60 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: when all those guys that were gonna play huge integral 61 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: roles in terms of their potential success. It disrupted their 62 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: ability to get off the ball, and we said that's 63 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: what was needed to give our defensive front an opportunity 64 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: to get home and cause having in the backfield. They 65 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: did so collectively. Amazing job by all the players. But 66 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: I want to give a big kudos out to the 67 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: US up in defensive staffs for preparing these guys for 68 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: this game. We'll get to the special team concerned an 69 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: addressing it was a two phase game, right because right now, 70 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: let's let's focus on what the Cowboys did well, and 71 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: damn it, there was so much of it. Right. We 72 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 1: talked about resiliency going into this game, and I know 73 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: Isaiah hates the word hope, but like I said, it 74 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 1: wasn't blind hope. There was evidence to support it. Cowboys 75 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 1: still have not lost two games in a row. That's 76 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: quite telling of what this team is capable of. And 77 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: we said ahead of last week, yes, one of the 78 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: problems was that they played down to competition, but this 79 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: is the playoffs, so theoretically speaking, there's no competition to 80 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: play down too. Because even if you look at the 81 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 1: Buccaneers record, you say, okay, well, that's not a good team, 82 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: but it's Tom Brady. It's Tom Brady being seven into 83 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: against your franchise. So that was one of your boogeymen. 84 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 1: The other boogeyman, boogy Man didn't make it into the playoffs, 85 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 1: but this was one of your boogeyman. So I was 86 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 1: sitting there on the flight wrapping up some articles, and 87 00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: I started thinking, Kyle's gonna ask me, what's my what's 88 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: my big takeaway? I had one, two, three, four, and 89 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I had a list. Oh, so 90 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: let's talk. Here's my list, ladies, and of takeaways from 91 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: the Cowboys obliteration because that thirty one fourteen didn't tell 92 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: the whole story. Yep. Defeat Brady for the first time. 93 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: Check do it in the playoffs. Check do it on 94 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: the road for the first time since the early nineties. 95 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: Check set a quarterback franchise record in doing it. Check 96 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: after playing one of his worst games ever. Check stout 97 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: pass defense against a stable of wide receivers. Check stout 98 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: run defense, including screens, bubbles, and flats. Check they did 99 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: it on grass. For those that were concerned about that. 100 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 1: Check for those that are superstitious, they did it in 101 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: the Navy jerseys as well. Check put all the Mirk 102 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: McCarthy hot seat. Talked to bed with this victory, especially 103 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: in the fashion in which it happened. Check still unsatisfied 104 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 1: in the locker room after the game. Check the list 105 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: goes on and on him. But Kyle, Isaiah, I haven't 106 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 1: seen that many Checks since I walked out of the 107 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: Nike outlet store. The Cowboys were firing on all cylinders. 108 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: First two offensive possessions, slow start. But what happened the 109 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: Cowboys defense Michael Parsons disruptions. They were getting back there. 110 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,919 Speaker 1: They were making tom Brady uncomfortable. They were doing what 111 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: I was hoping they would do, which was fourth, third 112 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 1: and longs so that you can use your pass rush 113 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 1: to really, as Isaiah so eloquently said, bless tom Brady 114 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: with some contact. Get your hands on him, getting this 115 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: personal space. Frustrate him, fluster him, and disrupt the routes 116 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 1: and the timing on the receivers. What was one of 117 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: my main keys? It was, you can't full tom Brady. 118 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: You're not going to beat him in a cerebral compassion, 119 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: uh compartment. I'm tired, I'm excited, Let's go. You're Patrick 120 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,919 Speaker 1: get up there and you had to disrupt his weapons 121 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: and you did that. That brought that bought enough time 122 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: for Dak Prescott and that offense to finally get rolling 123 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: on their third possession going forward. And then you get 124 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: the jay Ron curse. You animal, you okay, jay Ron 125 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: curse with that interception in the end zone when the 126 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: Cowboys were nursing a six and no lead and Tom 127 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: Brady was he was right there at the door. Everybody 128 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: felt it. This is when Tom Brady scores and now, 129 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: oh it's a game and jay Ron curse, pile give 130 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: it back to Dak Prescott. Dak Prescott in the offense 131 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: methodically walks the ball down for a touchdown and then 132 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: the game just started climbing away from there in the 133 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: Cowboys favor fan freaking tastic offense and the offensive coaches. 134 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: Kelly Moore called one hell of a game. Talk about 135 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: those two fourth down plays. You know what why chef 136 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: kisses all around. I could go down the list, and 137 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: the list is long. Kudos to everyone involved. Preparation was 138 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: their execution was there, The moment was not too big, 139 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: and resiliency again showed its face in Temple. It was impressive. 140 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: It really was, and they jumped out. I agree with 141 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: you completely. I think the turning point in that game 142 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: was jay Ron curse. Yes, the interception in the end 143 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: zone because you're up by seven, tom Brady scores there, 144 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: or excuse me, yeah, you're up by six. Tom Brady 145 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: scores there at seven to six, and then all of 146 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: a sudden, you get the ball back. What do you do? 147 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: It depends But instead, like you said, gets it back, 148 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: got the football, drive down, score, you're up two scores boom. 149 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: That thing was. It wasn't done at that point because 150 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: it's never really done whenever number twelve is on the 151 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: other side of the football. But you started to pull away, 152 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: you started to build confidence, you started kept your foot 153 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: on the gas from that point forward. I want to 154 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: add another one to your checkbox. There. Do all the checks, 155 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: all the checks for more from Nike Cowboys. As a 156 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: wild card team in the last twenty five seasons, we're 157 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: O and four last twenty five years as a wildcard 158 00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: team that's not playing in the wild card round, that is, 159 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: as the wild card they were owing four. They lost 160 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: in two thousand and six to the Seahawks OH three 161 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,839 Speaker 1: to the Panthers ninety nine to the Vikings and then 162 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 1: here in twenty twenty two they got the win. Oh yeah, 163 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: and so they were able to take that streak and 164 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: throw it out the window as well. What did we 165 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: talk about last week if Dak Prescott was gonna win 166 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: this game, Isaiah, you needed what you needed, no turnovers, 167 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: and what happened in this game to beat Tampa two 168 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: movies and you also thought you might have needed a 169 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: couple from your defense. You only got one, but it 170 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: was a huge yeah, yeah, huge one. Yeah, you took 171 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: a vantage. Don't know what the heck Tom was doing 172 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 1: on that one. I think he meant to throw it 173 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: away and he just didn't get enough on it, but 174 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: he did shy away from the throw at the same time, 175 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: either way, either way, Curse was there to go ahead 176 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,599 Speaker 1: and pick them off, and it was huge. Obviously it 177 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: turned things into Dallas's favor and then from there they 178 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: opened the gap. I mean, like to your point, No, see, 179 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: there's a lot of different parts of this game that 180 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: Dallas just owned and it was necessary. It was necessary 181 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: because you're facing I don't care. I there's a lot 182 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 1: of people in Cowboys Nation right now to all you know, 183 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: we killed him and you did. Absolutely, Dallas took care 184 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: of business. But there's those are still a one hell 185 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: of a team that you just beat. Yeah, that's a 186 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: hell of a team you just beat. And if you 187 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: allow that team any room, they would have they had opportunity, 188 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: just like any other team that's very talented, to do 189 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: some bad things to you. So you took that away 190 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,199 Speaker 1: from them. You took their their power away from them. 191 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 1: You you you changed up your game plan and the 192 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 1: executed the game plan and because of that, you're reaping 193 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: the benefits of it, and you absolutely should be elated 194 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: right now. Um to your part, every phase of this 195 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: game was positive except for one. But we're not even 196 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna disregard that. We may hit it 197 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,079 Speaker 1: in the last, but you know what it may be. 198 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: You know what the elephant in the room is the 199 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: extra points. You know what we'll get. Yeah, we'll get 200 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: to that. But like the reality, you still that's one 201 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: hell of a player too, and he's gonna he might 202 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: win your dog on ball game here and has Okay, 203 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,719 Speaker 1: so I don't fault him at all. He had a 204 00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: rough knight. Okay, he had a rough dog all night. 205 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: But everybody else was there to say, hey, don't worry 206 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: about it. We got your back, and that's what that's 207 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,079 Speaker 1: what a team is about. Right. Isaiah said he needed 208 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: to see Dak Prescott ball yep. And I didn't disagree, 209 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: but I kind of scaled it down a little bit 210 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: and said, I need to see a very good game 211 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: from him. And I said that I expected that to happen. 212 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: I expected him to bounce back and ask me. He said, well, 213 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 1: what would I classify as a really good game? I 214 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: said three hundred yards. I'd accept three and one as 215 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: you said zero and you said maybe one. Dak Prescott 216 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 1: three hundred and five yards. Bang, four touchdowns in the air, 217 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 1: none on the ground. So he took that one and 218 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,439 Speaker 1: turned it and added into the touchdown sally, and he 219 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: did what we had been begging for him to do 220 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: all years, use him signing. He used those legs, oh yeah, 221 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: kept the defense off balance, kept people guessing that fourth 222 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: and four RPO keeper to the beautiful. Everybody in the 223 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: building was staring at Zeke and next thing you know, 224 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: there's Dak and the ends celebrating. I'd sayah, you were, 225 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: we were talking in game when that happened In studio 226 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 1: and you looked at me. You thought that was a 227 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: check with me. That was a DAK decision. What happens 228 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: when that comes to the table. Yes, So I'm not 229 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 1: sure if it was. So there's two different, two different things. 230 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: There Either was a called keeper in the huddle which 231 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: could have happened, which could have happened, or there was instincts. 232 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: When I was a quarterback a lot of times and 233 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,319 Speaker 1: we were in that same situation, my coach would call 234 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: the run play and then he would literally tell me 235 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:29,599 Speaker 1: right and say he'll tell me in my ear and 236 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: keep it like, don't tell any of your teammates, like 237 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: call the run play as as it's called. Call it 238 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: in the huddle, Let everybody go up to the line 239 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: of scrimmage, Let your running back to your old line. 240 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 1: They're coming downhill, and you just keep the ball. Not 241 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: sure if that's what happened, but that does happen in 242 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: certain situations whenever your your officer coordinator wants to ensure 243 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: that they get the actual look and the action and 244 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: the energy of the actual run play and then just 245 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: creep out the back door. And in kudos to both 246 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: on that particular play, everybody did what he needed to do. 247 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,239 Speaker 1: Dak did what he needed to do. He sold it effectively. 248 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: The offensive line sold it with their their lean to 249 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: the right. Zeke sold it with his hand with a 250 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,839 Speaker 1: fake handoff. But it was offensive quarter to killing Moore 251 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,559 Speaker 1: and head coach Mike McCarthy who both had the marbles, 252 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: the marbles fourth and one Port Tampa. And this was 253 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: before Maher's struggles. For the most part. You could have 254 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,439 Speaker 1: kicked that field goal and taking the points and said okay, No. 255 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 1: Instead they said, this is playoff football. We didn't come 256 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: to play, not to lose. We came to win. We 257 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: came to send a message. Message sent, message received, Yeah, 258 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: signs stamped, sealed. Let's go. So for all of you, 259 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,439 Speaker 1: all twenty two warriors out there, I know there's a 260 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: lot of them listening, let us know if you think 261 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: that was a called run play for Dak Prescott or 262 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 1: if you think that was just a nice impromptu keeper. 263 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: I think it was an impromptu keeper because Patrick said 264 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: it very well just a second ago. The offensive line 265 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: sold it, the running backs sold everybody sold it to 266 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,199 Speaker 1: the effectiveness that allowed Dak Prescott to just roll out 267 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: and he was all alone. You know why, I think 268 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:07,719 Speaker 1: they sold it. I think they all thought it was 269 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: a run play. I think they all thought it was 270 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,839 Speaker 1: a run play, and Dak just kept it and rolled out. 271 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 1: I think it was a called play. Personally, I think 272 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: it was a call play. You think they called it 273 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: knowing that they called it. You know, you know why 274 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: my eyes go straight to Zeke because whenever, whenever it's 275 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: a called run play and the quarterback just decided to 276 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: keep it rather his coach told him to or not. Okay, 277 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: I believe you remember that that They still can talk 278 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: to Dak up to was it fifteen seconds, fourteen sex, 279 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: whatever it is, okay, So they can still talk to him. 280 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: He can call a run play, they can tell him 281 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: in his ear keep it right. They can tell him 282 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: that all day long. But when you look at Zeke, 283 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: Zeke looked like that was a part of the game play. 284 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: Because a lot of times whenever that's called, the running 285 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: backs reaching like hey man, like hey, what you're doing? 286 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: Give it a ball? You can see them like really 287 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: reaching for the play. I don't know if Zeke would 288 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: really react that way though. I think Zeke, if anybody 289 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: when you think you down, you know what I'm saying 290 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: When you think you're supposed to get the ball, there's 291 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: like a yeah, there's no ball on your arms, you 292 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: start reaching. But I mean, either either way, it worked 293 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: to the Dallas Cowboys advantage. I was on I'm on 294 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: record saying that I didn't think that they were gonna 295 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: be able to get this w okay based upon the 296 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: schemes and what they had been showing up to date. 297 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: They made changes. If they would have sat back in 298 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: coverage like they had been doing up to this point 299 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: in the season, I don't think we were sitting here 300 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: talking about the same type of result. But they came 301 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: up there and that changed the dynamic of this whole scheme, 302 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: at least defensively. And you're saying the defense isn't simple. Oh, 303 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: I see the shape the conversation as the fishing hole. 304 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: I want to hit that a little bit harder when 305 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: we come back on the other side of the break. 306 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: Because there were so many elements to this game where 307 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: the Cowboys made adjustments. Yes, the Cowboys got better from 308 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: Week eighteen into the wild Card round, But which one 309 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: surprised you the most? Which element of the win was 310 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: the most surprising from the Cowboys seeing based off of 311 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: the the examples that we had and the sample size 312 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: we had. That was a word I was looking for 313 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: earlier in the season. We'll talk about it when we 314 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: come back on the other side of the break. When 315 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: you build, you start with the foundation, and homeownership is 316 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: a foundation of a stable future.

I had a good time. I 360 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: had the family out there. Yeah, kiddos is out there. 361 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: It was out there having a ball. It was a 362 00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: good time. Man. All the fans that came out with 363 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: your appreciate y'all. You know, we weren't the official No 364 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: Watch party. Okay, weren't the ficial watch party, but we 365 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: still had a good amount of people that were out 366 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 1: there hanging out with us. Did you see the amount 367 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 1: of people at the official watch party. I think the 368 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 1: number was eight. It was a lot. Cowboys nations showed up, 369 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 1: showed out. Also for those that showed up and showed 370 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: out at Raymond James Stadium, there was a lot of 371 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: blue in those stands and they were live. I said 372 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: it to open our show yesterday. I said, on nights 373 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: like tonight, nights like last night, you cannot hide from 374 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: Cowboys Nation. You cannot do it. Whether you're in Tampa, 375 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: you're in Frisco, you're in Arlington, you cannot hide. Cowboys 376 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,679 Speaker 1: Nation is everywhere. And they showed it again last night. 377 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,400 Speaker 1: Special thanks to all those they came out and spent 378 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 1: some time with us up at the those Tito's Championship Plaza. 379 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: I don't know where the watch party will be this week. 380 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: I would anticipate it it being back at at and 381 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: T Stadium. But I'll tell you one thing, I bet 382 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 1: you either way. We're right back out there for pregame 383 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,959 Speaker 1: live on SAH right now. I bet you either way. 384 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: So if you if you're in the area, keep that 385 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 1: in mind, all right. I tease this question on the 386 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,360 Speaker 1: other side of the break, I want to hear from 387 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 1: you guys, what was the most surprising part of the 388 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 1: win element of the win based off of all of 389 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: the lead in last week, what we had said going 390 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 1: into the Monday night football matchup, which one surprised you 391 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: the most defensive line pressure. Really for me, defensive line 392 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: pressure I didn't believe based upon what we knew. Okay, 393 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay gets the ball out faster than anybody in 394 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: the league. Okay, less than just just over two percent 395 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,880 Speaker 1: of our passes were actually sacks, right, actual sacks. Based 396 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: upon their offense that they run, Okay, the routes at 397 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 1: five and eight yards. We talked about it in pregame live, 398 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: we talked about it in film room, we talked about 399 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: it a whole week. Right. Their offense was set up screens, 400 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 1: short passes to get the ball out quick and be 401 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: highly effective, not allowing for a pass rushes majority of 402 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:03,120 Speaker 1: the time. Well that changed. You know what changed about it? Well, 403 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: obviously I'm talking about the defensive line and their ability 404 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 1: to get home. Armstrong, great job, Osa, great job. Michael 405 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,360 Speaker 1: was a terror. Fowler was a madman. All those guys, 406 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: everybody did one heck of a job. Watching autumn casts 407 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: were bawling. As a collective unit. Everybody won their matchups, 408 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: but they had help. They had help on the outside. 409 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 1: So I can't talk about the d line without talking 410 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,640 Speaker 1: about the defensive backs. I already mentioned them, but shout 411 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: out to Al Harris and them for allowing giving those 412 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 1: guys the confidence moving Israel Mukuamo from the safety position 413 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: back to his true position of quarterback and came out 414 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: there and made some freaking plays and went e Honda 415 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: on him, used them Dawsome from stream Fighter Arms and 416 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: I think there was a there was a podcast, there 417 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 1: was a show at one point talked about this earlier 418 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 1: in the season said that not only would Israel Mukuama 419 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: be open to that, but he might be better in 420 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: that past. And he didn't even have a quote that 421 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: he welcomed in He Yeah, I wonder who said that 422 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 1: on something Cowboys. I just I think it's chatting jeez. 423 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: So yes, my biggest surprise with defensive line because I 424 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: did not expect them to be able to have an 425 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: effect on Tom Brady. I expect them to be able 426 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,919 Speaker 1: to try to get their hands up, get some screens 427 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: knocked down. We saw some of that, Okay, that was 428 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: my expectation, but actual pressures, I didn't see that coming. 429 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,199 Speaker 1: For me. It's it's it's going back to what Isaiah 430 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: was talking about with defensive backs and schematically being tasked 431 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: with pressing their man instead of dropping back and giving 432 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: space pre snapping zone looks and things like that. They 433 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: got up there and they put their hands on them. 434 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 1: So as much as much as we need to give 435 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: roses to the defensive front, because they just flat out 436 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: deserve it, Like Irish said, they flat out deserve it. 437 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: But what made their job easier, and of course one 438 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: thing always compliments the other. What made the job easier 439 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: for the defensive line was the fact that the defensive 440 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: backs were disrupting the timing and the routes by doing 441 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: press coverage more so than you know, spacing out. And 442 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 1: that's something that the Cowboys haven't routinely shown yes this season, 443 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 1: so they kind of sat on it until it mattered 444 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 1: most the postseason. They sat on it, you know what, Right, 445 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 1: you know what, maybe maybe we do trust our cornerbacks 446 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: more than we're letting on, but we're not gonna show 447 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 1: that just yet. And they showed it at the right time. 448 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: And then you talk about a guy like Israel Mukuambu, 449 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 1: this was the first game all season that they showed 450 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: this type of faith in him to say, you know what, 451 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 1: ny Sean, his needle was pointing up. They said, we're 452 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,639 Speaker 1: gonna sit They sat on whose needles pointing up healthy 453 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 1: scratch and Israel. You're up you talking about faith, trust 454 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: and having a plan. That was clearly a plan. Yeah, 455 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: something that was When that came across and we're sitting 456 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: at the desk, all of us up front, was like, 457 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: what in the entire heck just referencing Nation right being 458 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: inactive for the game. I'm like, bro, this catches had 459 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 1: an interception where he bade his women two two weeks ago, 460 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 1: had one head of a game. He's coming on strong, right, 461 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden inactive. Listen, what's your 462 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: game play? Yeah? You know what our next words were. 463 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: Or Xavier Roads, who, by the way, I thought played 464 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: well in the situation that he's in. I thought he 465 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: played well. And then our other name was Calvin Joseph 466 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 1: because we were stumped. We had no idea that was coming. 467 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 1: We had no idea that there was a place we 468 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: would We forgot, right, I mean we honestly forgot when 469 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,679 Speaker 1: we've talked about on the show before, but they never 470 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 1: utilized that. They had never done it. Now we all 471 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: have sat here and said he's capable and Willie and 472 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 1: and it would be effective because of his size, right, 473 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 1: But but we've never seen it, so in our head, 474 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,199 Speaker 1: that's not even an option at this point. Right, they 475 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: haven't done it in the last seventeen why would they 476 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 1: do it. They hit you with the last twenty four games, 477 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 1: hit you with the roper do sugar ray. But you 478 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: know it made it more magnificent as they looked at 479 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 1: it from a matchup stamp. Yes they did, and that's 480 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: why Israel got the nod over nation. They looked at 481 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 1: it from a matchup standpoint and said, you know what, 482 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: even though nahan needle is pointing up, he's trending upward. 483 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: We believe that the better matchup against these weapons against 484 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: Julio and Mike. And there was a lot of work 485 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 1: done on Mike by Treyvon, but Diggs didn't travel the 486 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 1: entire game with them. And so just teams can interchange 487 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: sixty three and six four corners. Oh, it just feels good. 488 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 1: Not many. To answer your question, We're gonna we're gonna 489 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: sit one guy sixty three.

Al v played very good. 494 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 1: Ye he was great, And they're speaking of and setting 495 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: the name of that show that all seasons been telling 496 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 1: Cowboys fans about Laton Vanderish and how people need at 497 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 1: some point people are gonna listen to us at some points, 498 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: and gentlemen, it was said here time and again, the 499 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 1: value of Laton Vanderish took this Cowboys d fence is invaluable. 500 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 1: He is having a Pro Bowl season even without the 501 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl not you saw what happened when he went 502 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: down with injury, with that pinch nerve in his shoulder, 503 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: miss some games. Run defense took a step back. He's 504 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: back in the game, big time stage against Tom Brady 505 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: and a passing attack. I us iris and I lined 506 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: up perfectly for you, ladies and gentlemen, I said. The 507 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 1: matchup for me to watch was LV versus Fournette. Why 508 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: I rs teed it up, he said, because Fournette is 509 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: utilized more so in screens as a quasi run. That's 510 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: that's cooped more or less the run play rushing attack 511 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 1: for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That's what they tried to do. 512 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: But Lvee was everywhere. He was sideline, the sideline, he 513 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: was North South, he was East West team leading tackler 514 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 1: with nine, and they all mattered. They were all effective. 515 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: Lv's returned along with Hankins, who got a sack, a 516 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: key sack against Tom Brady. Those two guys helped solidify 517 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: and concrete a defense that just came out ready to eat. 518 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 1: They came out ready to They were tired of played 519 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: so physical. They were tired of hearing how Tom Brady 520 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: was seven to note and guess what, Cole, what did 521 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: I say all last week? I said, I know they're 522 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: tired of it, so keep saying it. Yeah, every every chance. 523 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: Did you see the DDT by by Anthony Barr bar Yes, 524 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: he d t them Freddie back in the slow motion shit. 525 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 1: We gotta give him. We got to call that a finish. 526 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 1: Somebody logo on it because that dude wrapped that dude up, 527 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:29,360 Speaker 1: jumped off his own feet. Yeah, just just cross face 528 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: chicken was nothing. It was the perfect plex. Shout out 529 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: to Rob. It was the perfect place. Yeah, it's perfect place. 530 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 1: A couple boys defense went out there and they gave 531 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: one more wrestling reference. They gave Tom Brady the mandible claw. 532 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 1: Donald did a great job, and Donald was physical. Everybody 533 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: on defense, Malik Hooker obviously, Jay Ron curse. They Ron 534 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: almost had two lv almost had two interceptions. A couple 535 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 1: went off of his fingertips, including that the one that 536 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: would have sealed the game. But they get my pick, 537 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,880 Speaker 1: my pick, struggle, my pick, struggle, What was your pick? Tyler? 538 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,400 Speaker 1: Be honest, I was glad he was back. Look, we knew, 539 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 1: we knew, we knew. It was about to say, I know, 540 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: I know on the other side, but I meant still stays. 541 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: You know who struggled Ryan Jensen, Yeah he did. He 542 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 1: wasn't himself even and Tyler Biad's just coming back. And 543 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 1: I say that to say, it goes both ways. So 544 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 1: you're right. I think we're all right. I think we're 545 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: all right, completely fine. I was going to ask you 546 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: that right here because the same thing while we were 547 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 1: out there at the Plaza and we were doing the show, 548 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 1: we hear from Bill Jones, because we've got our phones on, 549 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 1: do not disturb, We're not looking at anything. We hear 550 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: from Bill Jones that Jason Peters is starting at left tackle. 551 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: Did you hear any reasoning on why that was happening? Now? 552 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: Peters did end up exiting. Hopefully he's okay because you 553 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: want him for the depth side of things. That's good, 554 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: But why why Peters at left tackle instead of going 555 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 1: back to what was working prior matchups? Really, how boys 556 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball, they were ready for 557 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: some matchups. They knew that going against this defensive front 558 00:28:58,200 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: and tackle you were going to have issues running the 559 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: hell you just saw them struggle against Washington to do it. 560 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: So basically, what the Cowboys did they went into the 561 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: lab over the course of a few days after or 562 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: the several days after the Washington game, and they said, okay, 563 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 1: and now you're going against Vita Vay and these guys, 564 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: and what can we do need the jumble package. We 565 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: haven't really used the jumble with Big Mac as fullback, 566 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: Connor McGovern as fullback for a large part of the season. 567 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 1: Now it's the time to start breaking everything out. Everything 568 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: has to be on the table in this game, right, 569 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 1: and everything started to be on the table the Cowboys. 570 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: Primarily we're looking at going back to the default Tyler biadis, 571 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: Connor McGovern at left guard, Tyler Smith at left tackle. 572 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 1: But I'm told over the course of practice they started 573 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: to kind of work out the rotation you saw start 574 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: Jason Peterson left tackle, Tyler Smith that left guard, and 575 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: Tyler Biadis, which freed up Connor McGovern to be fullback. 576 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: And as you saw, it wasn't a novelty because when 577 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: Connor mc governor got into the game at several points, 578 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: even just in the first half, as they started to 579 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: score and kind of draw away first time he registered 580 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 1: as an eligible receiver fullback to play didn't go where 581 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: it was supposed to go. Zeke ended up going to 582 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: the right. I think he went to the left. Yes, 583 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 1: he went to the left. McGovern went to the right. 584 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 1: It wasn't really effective. But then on the next package, 585 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: jumble package, it worked. On a third jumble package. Now, 586 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 1: if you're the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, guess what you did. 587 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 1: You figured it was a run, so you brought a 588 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: guy down and if you go back and look at 589 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: that play, that was a big gainer on a pass 590 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: that the top bowls in the defense. No and tample. 591 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: Just because Connor McGovern isn't at fullback doesn't mean this 592 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: is a run. However, if it is a run, we 593 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 1: got an extra blocker back here. They kept they use 594 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: Conna mcgoverning in that jumbull package to keep the Buccaneers 595 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: off balance all game. Fantastic scheme. What do you think 596 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: about the move? I mean, it's just pure strength on strength, 597 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: and without him in the game late it looked like 598 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: things may have went back to normal at least for 599 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah, I mean I understood it once 600 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: I got over the the initial shock. The initial shock, 601 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 1: They're like, wait, what dropping on Big? I did kind 602 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: of drop big on Big. I mean it makes sense. 603 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: I mean, but unfortunately, you know, Peter's had to exit 604 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: and great job of great job to the young fella, 605 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: just being flexible this year man, just being flexible and 606 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 1: just you haven't heard him complain. You haven't heard him moan. 607 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 1: He bawled out yesterday. He did a great job. He 608 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: got in there and held his own against some dudes 609 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 1: that are much bigger than him. Just just kudos to him, 610 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 1: kudos to him. I don't think people understand how difficult 611 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: it is for somebody to get moved around to various 612 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 1: positions and everybody's always just a it's just a one 613 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: spot over. It's different. This isn't mad, Yeah, this is 614 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: not man. The techniques different, your your your leverage is different. 615 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 1: You know, everything's different. These guys are large humans that 616 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 1: you were going against. So you're talking about a Keem Hicks, 617 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: you know, six four six five three four, You're talking 618 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: about Vitava six three six four three and fifty pounds. 619 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 1: I mean, these dudes move mountains. I mean, if you 620 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: if you think that, yeah, I mean these are mountain movers, 621 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: you know. I mean you can see it in Tyler Beata. 622 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 1: He was struggling. He was struggling. He was a little 623 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 1: lighting the butt, and it shows up when you play 624 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: against guys like this. He was fighting, no disrespect, he 625 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: was fighting. But you got Vita v he was just 626 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 1: throwing him around like a little brother, you know. So 627 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 1: I mean it shows when you have him line up 628 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 1: on Tyler be honest, and then you see him line 629 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: up on Tyler Smith and it's a totally different thing. 630 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: Now they're wrestling. You know, you got one person getting 631 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: tossed around, you got one guy wrestling with you, and 632 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, I see the difference here, young fella. 633 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 1: I'll see you. And it's funny because I spoke about 634 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: that on Twitter. End game. There was one of the 635 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 1: member of Cowboys Nation tweeted me and asked if I 636 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 1: had noticed the difference between Vita Vea lining up over 637 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 1: Tyler versus lining up over Connor. And again, no shade 638 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 1: to Connor is Tyler, I'm sorry, no shade to Tyler Beatish. 639 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 1: He came in, he's coming off a hinkle spraining, and 640 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 1: he's asked to go against Vita Veil. But even a 641 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,959 Speaker 1: one hundred percent healthy Tyler Beatish doesn't have the strength 642 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 1: that Tyler Smith has. Nylede Smith strength is Vita Veas 643 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: is equal to Vita via strength. Vita just has the 644 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 1: techniques right, so he's more refined. But as far as 645 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 1: just getting up in a phone booth, Tyler Smith has 646 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 1: that one thing can the gate the other. So then 647 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 1: the only thing Vita can do to beat the young 648 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: Tyler is use his technique and use his ability to 649 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: try to get around him. But if it's straight horns 650 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 1: the horns, Tyler Smith is going to delete that part 651 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: of Vita Veil, whereas Baddis can't delete that part of 652 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 1: Via Veil. So you know, but kudos across the front. 653 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 1: Even when Jason Peters went out and they couldn't necessarily 654 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 1: use the jumble packages anymore, because now you need Connor 655 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: at left guard and Tyler pops back out the left tackle. 656 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: At that point, the game was well in hand. Tom 657 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 1: Brady's stat line is being padded. Hashtag keep that energy. 658 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: If you want to erroneously talk about Dak Prescott's numbers 659 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: being garbage time, let's talk. Let's correctly talk about how 660 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 1: one third at least of Tom Brady's numbers were just 661 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 1: garbage time. Both of his touchdowns. You could argue where 662 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 1: garbage time because they came with the game well out 663 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 1: of hand. Cowboys just did the job. They did the 664 00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 1: job on every level. They did it schematically with the 665 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: pregame planning, they did it in executing, they did it 666 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:08,840 Speaker 1: in in game adjustments, top to bottom, offense, defense. Fantastic job, magnificent. 667 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 1: It was phenomenal. And the matchup doesn't get easier. Nope, 668 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 1: you got a short week ahead of you with a 669 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 1: team that's got an extra day of rest, and you 670 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,799 Speaker 1: gotta take on the San Francisco forty nine ers coming 671 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 1: up on Sunday afternoon. We're gonna semi preview that we're 672 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,719 Speaker 1: gonna put this one behind us. We're gonna turn the 673 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:31,240 Speaker 1: page to the divisional round heading into this next segment. 674 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 1: We'll do so by giving out some helmet stickers the 675 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 1: ultimate prize from the Cowboys win in the wildcard round 676 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 1: getting our helmet stickers from talking Cowboys.

It is fast, reliable, 683 00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 1: and secure, and he learned the best thing to do 684 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,759 Speaker 1: is stop running and toss her the backpack with the 685 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 1: beef stew At and T five G.

And spry he 738 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:17,320 Speaker 1: was nine combined tackles Key and helping shut down what 739 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,759 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers wanted to do, both in the 740 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,520 Speaker 1: screen game and in the Russian attacks. So Lvie gets 741 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,160 Speaker 1: the lemon. But why does he get the lemon? You're asking, Well, 742 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:30,479 Speaker 1: the lemon isn't for him, it's by him. Lvee has 743 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:35,240 Speaker 1: all of his haters real bitter right now, real sour, 744 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 1: especially those Cowboys haters who all they're wanting done. It's 745 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:43,279 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. He's gonna dice up the defense. Lvie said, no, 746 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 1: not today, not today, and maybe not ever again. The 747 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,799 Speaker 1: lemon goes to lv because that's what he passed out 748 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:57,240 Speaker 1: yesterday to all of his doubters and Cowboys daughters in general. 749 00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:02,600 Speaker 1: You're bitter this morning, art, Yeah, keep that same energy, right, 750 00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 1: keep it. I'm gonna give mine to a man who 751 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,759 Speaker 1: had a career high night. What has never had more 752 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:13,160 Speaker 1: receiving yards than he did last night. Now, unfortunately he 753 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,719 Speaker 1: didn't hit the century mark, but it's okay. I'm gonna 754 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 1: let it slide because he had two tutties and he 755 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,479 Speaker 1: had him in big parts of the game. I'm gonna 756 00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 1: give this blueberry cupcake to Dalton Shoults. It was sweet 757 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 1: watching him work last night. He was all over the field, 758 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,640 Speaker 1: found his way open on the second touchdown, more specifically 759 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,800 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott having a roll out having to avoid a 760 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,080 Speaker 1: little bit of pressure. What a Dalton Scholtz too. Broke 761 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,359 Speaker 1: back inside on the same page with his quarterback, found 762 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,080 Speaker 1: an opening in the defense, Boom touchdown. Cowboys had a 763 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:44,400 Speaker 1: multi score league. So I'm gonna give that blueberry cupcake. 764 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,880 Speaker 1: Right over there.

He held him up there like this, 771 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,160 Speaker 1: he said, ah ha, He slapped that thing on there, 772 00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,759 Speaker 1: just like that. Dak Prescott had one heck of a game. 773 00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:19,280 Speaker 1: He went ahead and conquered his issues of the past 774 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:23,080 Speaker 1: seven games and having at least one interception, didn't turn 775 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 1: it over and smashed him dog on fruit all over, 776 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,920 Speaker 1: dog on Tampa Bay.

There's not even 783 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,520 Speaker 1: a wrinkle on that thing. Yeah, And I don't know 784 00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:48,799 Speaker 1: if that one's gonna fit, buddy, I don't know if 785 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 1: that's gonna get I don't know if that's gonna make 786 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,080 Speaker 1: it on there. All right, let's look ahead real quick. 787 00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 1: It's a short week. Tomorrow, we're gonna preview the Cowboys 788 00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:01,720 Speaker 1: defense versus the San Francisco offense led by Purdy and Company, 789 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:06,279 Speaker 1: and then we'll flip the matchup on Thursday. All right, 790 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,239 Speaker 1: it's revenge time, Yes it is. You had motivation going 791 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,319 Speaker 1: into yesterday to beat Tom Brady, to beat Tampa Bay 792 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,960 Speaker 1: because of what who did what to you? Last year? 793 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,840 Speaker 1: San Francisco beat you in the wildcard round. But not 794 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:21,839 Speaker 1: even on your feet, not even that you had beef 795 00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,680 Speaker 1: with team with Tom Brady and then and freaking Tampa 796 00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,759 Speaker 1: Bay because week one of the last two years. So 797 00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:29,840 Speaker 1: you had your own beef. There's beef there. He had 798 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:31,560 Speaker 1: your own beef. I ain't talking about knowing possible. I'm 799 00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,680 Speaker 1: talking about beef. Okay. See, but usually whenever whenever you've 800 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 1: got beef with another team like that, you don't hear 801 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,080 Speaker 1: about other teams. You heard a lot about San Francisco, 802 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,920 Speaker 1: you heard her a lot about last year heading into 803 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,480 Speaker 1: last week's matchup. But see, but I didn't want them 804 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,920 Speaker 1: use that motivation cup, but they did. But they might have. 805 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,480 Speaker 1: They might have. I hope that they internalized everything is motivation. 806 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,480 Speaker 1: Everything is motivation. But I need them all to digest this. 807 00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 1: I need them to go back and watch the field 808 00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,840 Speaker 1: from last year. I want them to watch the celebration. 809 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,839 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I want to watch all that. Take all 810 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:03,959 Speaker 1: that with the boom. Now you ain't gotta worry about Tampa. 811 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,080 Speaker 1: Timpa's done. You know. Just go back and watch them 812 00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,400 Speaker 1: casts come out the tunnel last year. Yeah, on your field, 813 00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 1: on your field, and your tunnel in your crib. Now 814 00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,680 Speaker 1: you get to go in their tunnel, the same care crib. 815 00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,279 Speaker 1: They got a couple of additions, couple additions, same cast, 816 00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,279 Speaker 1: same depot. Oh yeah, same Are you the same kid? 817 00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:26,799 Speaker 1: You got a rookie quarterback, miss Purdie. It's gonna get 818 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:32,560 Speaker 1: ugly for Purdy. Yeah, this is uncomfortable for men. I 819 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,480 Speaker 1: don't really know what it's saying. Listen, this is the 820 00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,240 Speaker 1: this is the Catharsis Tour. I said it. I wanted 821 00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,520 Speaker 1: to give it to me. You exercise your demon and 822 00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 1: Tom Brady that is no longer a thing, and you 823 00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,480 Speaker 1: did it in the postseason and get it on his field. 824 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:48,240 Speaker 1: Next question up, can you revenge or can you avenge 825 00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,759 Speaker 1: what happened in your field against this forty nine ers team. 826 00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,040 Speaker 1: If you can do that, you'll have a shot at 827 00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:58,239 Speaker 1: possibly more revenge if the Giants cannot defeat the Philadelphia Equals. 828 00:42:58,280 --> 00:42:59,920 Speaker 1: But we will worry about that down the road. Right now, 829 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,359 Speaker 1: it's all about San Francisco in the Bay. Go out there, 830 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,759 Speaker 1: handle you've business, and the Cowboys showed what I have 831 00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,920 Speaker 1: said and what we have said for weeks now. The 832 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,120 Speaker 1: only team that can beat this Cowboys, this version of 833 00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:13,680 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, is the team that has to star on 834 00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:15,799 Speaker 1: the helmet. They just need to go prove it again. 835 00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,640 Speaker 1: It's down to three. Don't let these moments slip. It 836 00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,680 Speaker 1: was what the read DeMarcus Lawrence talk to you about 837 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,279 Speaker 1: last or he talked to us about last week, and 838 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:29,040 Speaker 1: what he was saying that the message was in that 839 00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:32,560 Speaker 1: locker room. Don't waste these chances because you don't know. 840 00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:34,680 Speaker 1: One if you ever get a chance to get back 841 00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,640 Speaker 1: into the playoffs, No, you don't know. Two, if you'll 842 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:39,759 Speaker 1: have a team that's good enough to compete and win 843 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,960 Speaker 1: games in the playoff. Now you've got a chance, a 844 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,279 Speaker 1: moment in time where you can go on the road 845 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 1: and embarrass the team that knocked you out last year. 846 00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,560 Speaker 1: I think this is all the motivation you need. One down, 847 00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:54,879 Speaker 1: three to go, three more to go, and we're gonna 848 00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,440 Speaker 1: be here regardless to break it down for you here 849 00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,480 Speaker 1: on talking Boys that doesn't for us, here on a 850 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:04,640 Speaker 1: victory Tuesday again.
