Nick? 0:00:57.800 --> 0:00:59.760 Like Nimmi and Nicko last and I were like the 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:03.840 first experience. It's not often after twenty three years we 0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:05.840 could do something for the first time. That was the 0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:08.399 first time went at Tampa. We've had a no, well, 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:11.280 we've had a road playoff game. Oh that we were 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:13.280 actually on a flight coming back and we weren't like, 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:16.319 so we're gonna have shows this week, Like what are 0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:18.280 we gonna do this week? Like it was actually like, oh, 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:20.760 we got another game. Yeah, draft show. Well, I will 0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.000 say this, I was already on the horn this morning, 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:25.280 and I'm not stepping I hope I'm not stepping out 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:28.039 my boundaries. But I told people, all right, guys, just 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:31.000 keep watching tape. Man, we'll get that. Keep just keep 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:33.520 watching tape, you know, get your notes together, and eventually 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:35.360 they're gonna ask us to come in there. But right now, 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:38.880 right now, we're gonna we're gonna keep keep playing football here. 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:42.840 It's what we're gonna do. I failed you, guys. You know, 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:45.200 I told you I would. I was gonna capture a 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:48.440 moment for y'all for YouTube, and I didn't. We were 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:52.040 on the sideline and now we were looking the game 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:54.200 and finished and all that, and I turned around and 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:57.760 then I see you too. Your faces were like lit up, 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:01.240 like your eyes were You weren't crying, right, yeah, no, no, 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.160 no no, but you can see the shine and the 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:06.080 emotion you guys were talking about it. I'm like, oh crap, 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:07.800 let me get my phone. And then I took I 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:10.399 took it out and as I was about to start snapping, 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:13.280 some of the linemens start running down and we're about 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:17.880 to get run over. Uh. I did next week, I 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:20.080 will capture that moment. I'll tell you what you have 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:22.280 it and you can frame it at your house. You 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:25.600 will get tears of joy if somehow on Saturday the 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:29.359 Giants find a way to beat Philadelphia and you find 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:31.880 a way to beat San Francisco. Oh yeah, that would 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:33.800 be tears of joy right here if you can somehow 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.560 host this h NFC championship. But a lot of work 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:38.840 still to be by, a lot of teams. I gotta 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.400 I got a little missd eide Nick when you came 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:43.280 over in game, a little pound after the game, because 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:45.480 I was like, Yeah, this is this new, this is different, 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.359 this feels different, this feels very You know what's funny 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:51.959 is being as old as I am. I was at 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.160 the game the last time, Like we've talked about the 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:56.160 last time they won a road playoff game, and it 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:58.919 was like thirty years ago, and so you think about it, 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:01.640 you know, all these days of working with the team 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:04.040 and stuff, and you've never you know, you never had 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:07.040 that experience. So yeah, and really I'm happy for I'm 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:09.960 happy for the you know, the coaching staff, happy for 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:12.760 the players, happy for you guys too. It's it makes 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:14.919 all our jobs so much easier when this team finds 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:18.079 ways to win. We always talk about that, but and honestly, 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:22.000 it's it's the truth. It really does make a big, 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:24.560 big difference as you get through this. Let's dive in 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:27.400 because I think we have to start the show talking 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:29.560 about the actually showing it on TV right now. But 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:34.120 four last night, Dak Prescott played out of his freaking mind. Uh. 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:36.400 He goes twenty five or thirty three, three hundred and 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:41.040 five yards, four touchdowns, no interceptions, not even anything that 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.320 looked like it could have been an interception. In my opinion, 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.440 one hundred and forty three point. The gall touchdown was close. 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:51.680 Maybe I got it was like what gave me there? 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:53.120 That was a little that was a little touchy, but 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.440 day you got it there? Um and uh. And then 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:57.240 he also had which I thought was really key, the 0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:00.400 seven rushes with twenty four yards and a touchdown. We 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:02.640 talked last week about the fact that if they were 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.080 going to win, if Dak was going to be successful, 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:06.480 he was going to have to be the deck that 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:10.360 we grew up on, the dack from twenty sixteen and seventeen, 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:12.440 where he was unafraid to run the ball when he 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:14.680 saw opportunities. We saw a lot of that last night. 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:16.159 What did you guys see from Dak and what were 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:19.800 your impressions? I think you said at all. I mean, 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:23.080 like Dak, this was going into the game. This was 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:27.000 probably the biggest game of his career because of the stage, 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:30.679 the way he's been playing. Who's going up with facing 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:33.680 on the other side, and he answered the call. I mean, 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:36.720 he had the best game of his career. There's no 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:38.960 doubt about it. I mean this, this was so important 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:41.320 to him in his career and he went out and 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:43.520 carried the team. And not everybody should get the credit. 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:45.960 And I mean more people will get credit, but quarterbacks 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:48.159 take the blame. They get the bulk of the credit. 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:51.000 Dak deserves it. It was the biggest stage of his 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.160 career and I think he had the best game of 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:59.440 his career. I freaking loved everything that he did yesterday. 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.039 And just Nick said, he carried the team and that's 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:04.000 one of the things we don't tend to see very 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:07.840 much is him fully carry And that's what that game 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:10.840 felt like. It felt like Dak was being the quarterback 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:12.839 that you need him to be and the fact that 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:15.440 he was able to use his feet and be that, 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:19.840 like the type of quarterback that can escape and run 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:23.440 and use that ability, which I feel we haven't guying 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.800 to see that whole lot this year. Either. He's done 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.520 it a few times, but nothing close to what he 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:34.080 did yesterday. I thought it was amazing. And I love 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:37.920 the way that he handled the whole week, coming back 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:41.760 after that terrible loss against Washington to finish the season 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:45.159 in such a sour note and then he plays this way. 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:49.240 It's absolutely impressive and amazing. Yeah, we've talked about this 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:51.840 a bunch on this show. Is if you get him 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:54.200 a little bloodied, a little muddied, and maybe have a 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:56.640 little clump of grass right in the side of his helmet, 0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.320 it kind of kind of makes him he gets a 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.200 feel of the game. The line did a tremendous job 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:06.679 last night. Tampa pass rush nonexistent. You had to control 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:09.400 the middle. They controlled the middle. They stood an injury 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:12.960 to a tackle in the game until they shuffled around again. 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:15.719 Kind of something they've been doing. You. Your Hall of 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:17.960 Fame right, your Hall of Fame tackle at right tackle 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:20.880 played really well for you last night, and so you 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:22.960 know that's Those are the kinds of things. But when 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:25.880 you look at Dak. It was one of those games 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:29.839 where everything that was in front of him, he saw 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:34.599 everything that opened up. When we're all you guys in 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:37.200 the press box, me and a radio studio and he's 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:40.160 running to his left and you're like, throw it away, 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:44.080 throw it away, throw it away, and Dalton Schultz uncovers 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:47.919 himself and you're like, wow, he saw that. He saw, 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:52.279 He anticipated Dalton Schultz making a move to get away 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:56.160 from the corner and make himself open, and Dak fires 0:06:56.200 --> 0:07:00.240 in the ball and we're all screaming, thinking disaster and 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:02.880 what does he do? Those are right to where he 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:06.000 needed the throws. That's kind of his game last night, 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:09.159 where it was just and we've I know, I've been 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:11.640 super critical of Dak and how you see the field. 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:15.120 He saw everything that the Buccaneers were trying to do 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:17.520 to him last night. Yeah. I think the thing for 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:20.280 me coming out of that game is you can question 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:22.320 a lot of things about Dak Prescott, and trust me, 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:25.680 people have over the last couple weeks. Never should anybody 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:29.120 question this guy's mental toughness because his ability after all 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:31.280 the interceptions that had been thrown over the last I 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.320 don't know how many weeks and all the talk that 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:37.560 was going into this game. It takes to me, it 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.880 takes a really rare person to be able to block 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:42.880 out all of that. Because you can talk about him 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:45.440 listening to the radio or people like us. He didn't 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:46.760 have to do that. Now all he has to do 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:48.240 is just go in the locker room and talk to 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:50.040 the media, because they're going to keep asking the same 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.400 questions over and over what about the interceptions? What are 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:54.280 you doing about the interceptions? So it's gonna be in 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:58.400 his head his ability to mentally block that stuff out 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:00.800 and say, I'm not gonna go on a shell and 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:03.480 get so conservative that I'm afraid to throw the ball. 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:05.800 I'm gonna make that make me even more focused to 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:08.160 where I am seeing the field, I am making the 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:10.880 plays out of there. That to me was what I 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:13.000 love about what I saw from Dak Prescott last night. 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:15.760 And if he continues to play like that, sky's the limits. Yeah, 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:18.400 if they don't turn over the ball and they don't 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:21.880 have penalties, they're gonna they could beat anybody in the league. 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:25.080 You saw, you saw example last night of how this 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:28.200 team can play when it's a clean game for them. 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:30.840 You know, I mean the penalties have been non existent. 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:34.000 They finally drew a holding call last night since week 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:37.160 ten against Green Bay. I mean, it's amazing that they 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:40.040 were able to get that, but you know they the 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.560 quarterback did a great job. He really really did. And 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:45.400 I you know, we've been I know again I say we, 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.440 I've been critical of Kellen Moore. Kellen Moore called a 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.679 great game. I thought Mike McCarthy. Mike McCarthy I always 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:53.920 a critical of him because I'm like, know the condition 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:56.360 of your team, and he knew. He's like, listen, we're 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:58.040 playing against Tom Brady. I gotta go for it on 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:00.520 fourth and three here, fourth and four, whatever that was, 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:02.560 you know, and and they what a great play called 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:05.080 the double you know, you get double pick and then 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:08.120 you get you know, you get gall' seema get lamb 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:10.319 out there, and that it's an easy throw for Dak 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:13.480 to make. See that that's what this team is capable 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:16.959 of every week, playing football like that. And so to 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:19.560 the middle toughness part, you're you're absolutely right about that 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:22.280 as well. Well. And then also credit to all the 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:25.840 receivers catching the ball. I mean, looked like a pretty 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:28.000 clean game from their end too. And you know, We've 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.640 seen it all throughout the season where Dak can throw 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:33.360 a good pass but then the receiver just drops it 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:36.120 or it bounces off of them or whatever it happens 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.600 at that time. But I thought pretty much all of 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:41.520 them Obviously they ain't catch every single pass, but it 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:44.360 looked like a very very clean game from the receivers 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:46.800 as well. First drive of the game look terrible. Yeah, 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:49.800 two drops by CD and then questionable drop on t 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:52.200 Y Hilton and you're like, oh, oh, here we go. 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:56.120 The change pretty quick because like, yeah, yeah, after all 0:09:56.200 --> 0:10:00.280 that and things change. Brian, that holding call um by 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:02.680 on Parsons, you know on third down, I mean, I 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:05.040 think that was huge too because it showed because Parsons 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:08.040 first play of the game for the defense makes a 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:10.040 tackle in the back yea. Then then he gets a 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:13.120 holding call and it's like, all right, so it's gonna 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.400 be that kind of day for for our number eleven. Yeah, 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:17.840 that's the you know, the thing with Parsons is, you know, 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.360 you needed this defense to play really really well, and 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:23.839 they they completely you know, and and talking to people 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:26.760 this morning Tampa driving in, They're like, yeah, we just 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:28.920 can't run the ball. And I'm like well, yeah, you 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:30.760 throw at sixty six times to go. Yeah, but we're 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:33.280 not good throwing it at sixty six times either, you know, 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:34.959 and if you got to go, even if you got 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:37.280 to go. And that's I think that I think though, 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:39.600 I think that they made it. I think dan Quinn 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:43.640 and the staff made a strategic a really big play. 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:46.600 When we saw the inactive list, we said, oh, wait 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:50.480 a minute, no Gallimore, no bo Hannah, are they thinking 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:53.160 about playing the run. No. They knew that they could 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:56.600 choke the run, just with Hankins and also with Wilson 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.800 and also with vander esh They choked the run with 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:03.040 those guys. And now it turned into let's get ghosted 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.439 up the field, Let's get OsO Diggie up the field, 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:09.920 Let's get Parsons around on some twist stunts against Donovan's Smith, 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.640 who's not any good. You know. That's kind of that 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:17.720 their game plan going in. They had Tampa wired offensively 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:20.400 for what they needed to do. They really did affect 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:22.480 the way that Brady played that game. And I have 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.640 a totally different opinion of what was going on in 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:28.400 that game against Washington. Now, I mean, if you think 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:31.600 about it, because just trying things well, I mean Mkuamu 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:35.360 was inactive, didn't do anything. Then he comes back in 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:37.040 this game and they put him right in the center 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:39.800 of the field on nickel defense, and hey, you used 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.320 to be a corner. Now you're safety. You got you know, 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:46.480 stretched armstrong length, go make plays, and he did. He. 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:48.240 I mean, that's the best game he's ever played. You 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:50.360 know it if you want to, if you want the 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:53.719 Brian Broadest knee jerk reaction thing. We talked about the 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:57.600 issues of Xavier Rhodes. We saw it in the last 0:11:57.600 --> 0:11:59.559 two minutes of that game when that ball went down 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:02.240 the side lines there and he was completely he just 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:04.720 couldn't catch up, you know, that's the thing. And he 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:06.600 played you know, there were a couple of chances. I 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:09.640 mean he was okay, but playing mcquomu, I think now 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:13.079 maybe that's something going forward. You say, okay, I think 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:17.120 Dan is trying his best and Joe Wit and Al Harrison, 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.160 those guys are trying to figure out who could play 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:22.960 that opposite corner. You know, how can we protect that 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:26.000 side of the field. Let's just keep throwing bodies at 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.920 it and see if we can make it work. Because yeah, 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:31.240 we all know what a big challenge is coming up, 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:34.640 you know. And these Tampa receivers aren't bad. It ain't 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:38.160 like playing somebody that's talent poor out there. They did 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.400 a good job of holding up against these guys. But 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.679 Dan keeps throwing stuff out there and trying to make 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:45.920 it work, and I think that he deserves a lot 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:47.600 of credit for this one. All Right, we're gonna take 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:48.920 our first bake when we come back. I want to 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:51.080 talk about the offensive line. He started off a bit 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:53.760 shaky there in the second series, and then from that 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.720 moment on we really didn't hear much from that defensive 0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:58.640 front in Tampa. We'll talk about that when we come back. 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:02.440 Dallascowboys dot Com Radio. Todd thought it would be secure 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:05.000 to jog in the Cheetah saventa.

Yeah, 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:39.760 the amount of people that showed up. Wow, somebody told 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:42.360 me that they think it was like ten thousand people. 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:44.560 It was like what they showed a picture. It looked 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:46.640 very much like when they showed the World Cup and 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:50.200 they're liking, yeah, the fans I scored. It's like the 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:52.120 whole I mean yeah, it was all the way to 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:54.600 the street. It's crazy, and that whole and that whole 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:58.680 Tostig's plaza. It was completely and you're like going wow, 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:01.160 because yeah, when they when I saw the stage, it 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:03.360 gets through the pregame show out there, right, and I 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:06.520 was like, that's cool. And then you see the crowd 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:08.320 You're like, man, it's like a World Cup game. Well, 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:10.880 actually they get the pregame show back here at at 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:13.640 at the Star and they were out in the plaza 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:16.320 and there was I say, that's what I'm saying, addition 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:18.640 to yeah, in addition to what was happening at the stadium. Yeah, right, 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:20.920 Oh so there were two no, right, right, there were two. 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:23.120 There was There was the watch party, which was at 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:25.480 the stadium in the mill of Lighthouse and that's where 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:28.480 I was. I see thousand people, and then there was 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:31.280 and then there was the plaza. No, the plaza wasn't 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:32.880 packed like that, but the plaza here at the Star. 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:34.880 It had a nice number of people. K I was 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:37.240 thinking it wasn't. I was thinking I was because I 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:41.440 saw the pre the the Kyle's tweet, Kyle Yeoman's tweet, 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:43.840 and that was that was here about the stage. And 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:45.600 then I'm thinking, oh, and then I saw the crowd 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:49.320 and I went, oh, okay, that was the secondary crowd. 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:52.080 That was the secondary crowd, that was the suburb crowd. 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:53.520 Out were all the way to all the way to 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:56.200 the street. I was like, we need to huddle up here. 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:58.440 I don't, I don't know. Of course, you know Dallas, 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:01.800 you know Fort Worth Metroplex down you have multiple parties 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:03.520 and that's part of it too. Like I was. I 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:06.679 was talking to to our director of broadcast, Scott Procelle, 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:08.760 and I was like, you know, the thing about it 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:10.639 is if you live in Frisco. I don't know how 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:12.760 many people are listening to us, no kind of the geography, 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:14.880 but if you live in Frisco, you're probably not driving 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:16.760 all the way to the stadium for watch party, but 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:19.040 you'll drop over at the Star and just pop in 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:20.879 with you and the wife, kids and hang out like 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:23.280 it's a nice little area. Your chair, Yes, didn't watch 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:26.000 the game, so you really can't have two different locations 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:29.080 where people are popping in. And obviously it doesn't affect 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:31.119 the numbers because I had a huge number out there 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:33.320 at the stadium. So I think it worked and it 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:38.080 was actually a really really good, really good party. And 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:40.440 my hope is that they'll do it again this week 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:42.880 and maybe next week and let's do I'm sure maybe 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:44.600 next week we'll be at home, maybe we'll be planning. 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:49.080 How about your boy, Jimmy? Yeah, that was my next read. 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:52.800 Oh I'm sorry. By the way, here's this this segment 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:59.000 sponsored by blockchain dot Com. Hey, I'll do I'll do 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:02.160 the back. Did you. Nick sent me a picture of Jimmy. Yeah, 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:04.040 I told you I know this guy like he hung 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:05.840 out with me one night we were in New Orleans. 0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:09.520 He looks like with that outfit on exactly. That was 0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:13.600 exact outfit on that night when I hung out with Yeah. 0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:15.880 He told me though this was like noon, he had 0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:19.440 like this. It looked like really nice, but yeah it's 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:24.920 a pajama. It's really it looks kind of hot and flannel. 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:27.359 But he said this is just pre game. This isn't 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:30.000 what he's gonna wear. For the game. Oh so so 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:32.879 this get up is not game's Jimmy go to work 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:35.960 with the flannel pajama. Look. I don't know. He might 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:39.040 be he's a fan of just does that every day Dallas. 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:41.080 He's got ten of them and he just rotates about. 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:44.200 I guess so he's hoping to be the UH fan 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:46.200 of the year. But we'll talk about that the next break. 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:49.719 All right, let's let's talk about the offense. Barrel guy Denver, right, 0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:55.080 the jet Sky Jet. All right, let's let's talk about 0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:58.240 the offensive line. I was a little worried there. Second 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:01.720 series of the game, v just does a nice lit 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:06.600 swim move on Beyondish quarterback. Yeah. Martin was like yeah, 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:08.960 and I'm thinking, oh, this is gonna be one of 0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:12.200 those days. And then after that he went into witness protection. 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:14.680 We didn't really hear much more from Vidavey and Nick. 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:17.800 I think it was you that said that. Brian was 0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:20.359 talking about how vitave is one of those guys. Where 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:23.879 was that, Nate said no, you said, Nate said it. 0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:26.640 That's right. But we did a showing rate and Nate 0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:29.400 was talking about just lean on him, just keep leaving 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:32.440 the whole game. And as the game keeps going, he'll 0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:36.000 be less impactful. Nate knows about those guys that Gilbert 0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:38.840 Browns and the big old dudes that play inside. He's 0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:41.920 seen them all. Yeah, seen them. Now. What I want 0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:43.800 to talk about though, the offensive line. There was a 0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:46.040 that the Cowboys made the decision that they were gonna 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:49.240 go with Peters at left tackle. I went with Tyler 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:52.679 Smith at left guard. Moving beyondish back in McGovern was 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:55.040 not a starter, but the expectation was that they were 0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:58.000 going to use him as a as a fullback. What 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:00.360 do you guys think of those decisions and and kind 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:02.720 of how it played out before the injury to Peters 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:07.440 kind of surprising, honestly, you know, just because you didn't 0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:09.960 know if Peters could play a whole game. Obviously he couldn't. 0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:13.119 It didn't, But I think that was more about getting 0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:16.159 some beef on those running situations with McGovern being the 0:20:16.760 --> 0:20:20.280 blocking fullback. So that didn't happen. Now he's back to 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:25.080 left guard, but maybe Farniac has done this before, maybe 0:20:25.080 --> 0:20:26.719 it'll be the time for him to come back. So 0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:29.080 if they want to go that route again, maybe that's 0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:32.719 an option. Yeah, I think to me, we talked about 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:34.840 this and I think we got ahead of this a 0:20:34.840 --> 0:20:37.919 couple of weeks ago. How many snaps does Peters have 0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:40.480 in that body at forty years old. You know, they're 0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:43.320 asking him to pull, they're asking him to do things. 0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:46.879 He got hurt right before half, and he got hurt 0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:50.760 trying to just wall the end off on a pass play. 0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:54.439 I mean he's leaning, straining, trying to and then he 0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:58.160 comes up with the hip problem and you're thinking, okay, 0:20:58.520 --> 0:21:01.800 we used up all as snaps. He's this is that where? 0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:04.760 Now this is what we got? So fortunately it was 0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:07.320 you know, and you got to give a big, big 0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:10.120 tip of the cap to Tyler Smith to go from 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:13.600 guard and his assignment all week is don't let this 0:21:13.720 --> 0:21:16.480 number fifty kind of guy eat me alive when he's 0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:19.879 over me, play with power, be strong, And now it's like, 0:21:20.040 --> 0:21:22.600 oh cool, okay, yeah, now you got to play left tackle. 0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:25.640 So for him to mentally be able to go from 0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:28.600 that assignment to going out and having to play left tackle, 0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:31.560 I think is it says a lot. And it says 0:21:31.600 --> 0:21:34.520 a lot about the you know, the Cowboys all season long, 0:21:34.560 --> 0:21:37.439 what have they been doing. They've been shuffling offensive linemen. 0:21:37.600 --> 0:21:41.160 Sometimes it worked sometimes last night it worked. They got 0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:43.480 back to the configuration that we thought that they were 0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:47.200 gonna go with to start the game. But the thing 0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:50.640 with Peters, it wasn't getting rolled up or anything like that. 0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:53.440 It was just a forty year old man trying to 0:21:54.240 --> 0:21:57.199 trying to make an everyday block. And you know, you 0:21:57.240 --> 0:21:59.600 saw a forty five year old, forty five year old 0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:01.960 quarterback and what he could look like when it starts 0:22:01.960 --> 0:22:03.959 to kind of fall apart for you too. Well, well, 0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:06.840 when he came out of the game, part of me, 0:22:07.000 --> 0:22:10.320 even though I've seen the other combination before, part of 0:22:10.359 --> 0:22:14.320 me in my head, I'm like, God, damn, here we go, Like, 0:22:14.359 --> 0:22:19.000 oh God, but no credit to the old line coach. 0:22:19.080 --> 0:22:22.800 I think he's done such an amazing job. Like I 0:22:22.880 --> 0:22:25.800 keep remembering, it's fresh in my memory, the times that 0:22:25.960 --> 0:22:28.680 it would only take one single player to come out. 0:22:28.760 --> 0:22:32.520 Usually he would be Darn Smith, but memory was yeah, 0:22:32.560 --> 0:22:35.600 and everything would just go to crap, like everything would 0:22:35.600 --> 0:22:39.240 nothing would work, And now you got Dad getting sag 0:22:39.359 --> 0:22:42.359 and Dad getting having to run for his life. But 0:22:42.480 --> 0:22:46.080 now we've seen so many different combinations, and like Brian said, 0:22:46.119 --> 0:22:48.920 it doesn't always work to the level that you wanted 0:22:48.960 --> 0:22:51.159 to work. But it keeps you in the game, and 0:22:51.240 --> 0:22:53.159 it does enough for you. It allows you to do 0:22:53.320 --> 0:22:56.159 enough to keep going and for Dad to make some 0:22:56.200 --> 0:22:58.600 things happen, or the running game to do something. But 0:22:58.720 --> 0:23:01.560 just in general, the fact that they've had so many 0:23:01.600 --> 0:23:05.040 different combinations and still making it work, and also the 0:23:05.080 --> 0:23:08.040 fact that they haven't stuck to one single player and 0:23:08.119 --> 0:23:11.080 just being like, no, let's just keep keep going this way. No, 0:23:11.800 --> 0:23:16.320 they understand when it's not working and understand the need 0:23:16.400 --> 0:23:19.520 to switch change things up. So that's another thing that 0:23:19.560 --> 0:23:22.440 I really really appreciate from the coaching and what they've 0:23:22.480 --> 0:23:25.080 done this year. Yeah, and I think further on that point. 0:23:25.280 --> 0:23:27.640 You think about Philip and you can think about Mike McCarthy. 0:23:27.640 --> 0:23:30.720 This is strategic. You think about how they practice these 0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:33.200 guys where they haven't working in different spots. You think 0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:35.480 about how early in the season we're seeing them in 0:23:35.600 --> 0:23:39.000 games rotating offensive linemen. You don't see that, but they 0:23:39.080 --> 0:23:41.440 always said, and it was something that Mike McCarthy would 0:23:41.440 --> 0:23:43.600 talk about his press conferences, you may have to use 0:23:43.600 --> 0:23:45.840 some of these guys in different ways as the season 0:23:45.920 --> 0:23:48.119 goes on. So you got to give them credit for 0:23:48.119 --> 0:23:51.880 foreseeing that this may be a possibility and preparing themselves 0:23:51.880 --> 0:23:54.800 for the eventuality that they would have to do. McCarthy 0:23:54.800 --> 0:23:57.520 also told Nick that this isn't fantasy football though too 0:23:57.560 --> 0:24:03.800 one time. No, Dave, Well, I'm just saying to me, like, 0:24:04.080 --> 0:24:06.840 you're talking about moving more. Yeah, it's like moving to 0:24:06.920 --> 0:24:09.880 tackle and stuff like. This is in fantasy football. Yeah, 0:24:10.160 --> 0:24:13.360 And I've asked Stephen Jones this question. That isn't fantasy football. 0:24:14.240 --> 0:24:17.359 But the thing about it is, no, I've asked Stephen 0:24:17.440 --> 0:24:19.760 Jones because Stephen Jones is the same way. He's like, 0:24:19.800 --> 0:24:23.480 I'm all about continuity, continuity, continuity, continuity, And I'm asking like, 0:24:23.680 --> 0:24:27.200 is this just an unusual year? Where are we starting 0:24:27.200 --> 0:24:30.440 to see a turn in the NFL where the continuity 0:24:30.800 --> 0:24:33.920 is not really what it changed so many injuries through 0:24:33.920 --> 0:24:36.480 a year, continuity is really kind of out the window. 0:24:36.640 --> 0:24:39.280 Oh you say that, And I asked that question. Is 0:24:39.320 --> 0:24:41.800 Zach Martin the other day and wants the same five guys? 0:24:41.880 --> 0:24:43.800 I said, do you does this kind of changed your 0:24:43.840 --> 0:24:48.480 opinion a little bit on the Continuity's like, no, but 0:24:48.560 --> 0:24:50.560 he's appreciative of what the guys have done, and he 0:24:50.880 --> 0:24:54.000 praised Philip and all that. But if his preference would 0:24:54.040 --> 0:24:57.520 be yeah, well, yeah, I think everybody would prefer to well, 0:24:57.560 --> 0:24:59.840 you're just stick to one thing, keep doing the same 0:24:59.840 --> 0:25:02.360 thing over and over, right, But that's also I mean 0:25:03.119 --> 0:25:05.879 lucky for him. He stayed in the same position, like 0:25:05.920 --> 0:25:09.680 he has to move around time guy, the one guy, 0:25:09.880 --> 0:25:12.959 the one guy. Yeah, going back to like just just 0:25:13.160 --> 0:25:15.000 McCarthy too. I don't know where this is going to 0:25:15.080 --> 0:25:18.080 go in your rundown, but I think that he deserves 0:25:18.080 --> 0:25:20.360 a ton of credit for for getting them ready to go. 0:25:20.880 --> 0:25:24.160 You get to remember too, like when it's not their 0:25:24.280 --> 0:25:26.600 problem that they haven't won a playoff game on the 0:25:26.640 --> 0:25:30.120 road in thirty years. That's not this team's issue. But 0:25:30.160 --> 0:25:32.080 what does he do Because most coaches would be like, 0:25:32.440 --> 0:25:35.560 I'm not worried about that. He embraced it. He leaned 0:25:35.560 --> 0:25:38.160 into it. He said, hey, hey, bring your baby picture. 0:25:38.200 --> 0:25:40.240 If you're older than thirty years old. I want to 0:25:40.240 --> 0:25:42.119 see a baby picture of you, because we're gonna put 0:25:42.160 --> 0:25:44.000 it in front of the whole team. We're gonna show 0:25:44.040 --> 0:25:46.200 all of this last time we want a playoff game. 0:25:46.440 --> 0:25:53.320 There's Zach Martin. Here's yeah, right, his dad holding him, Yeah, him, 0:25:53.640 --> 0:26:05.879 his dad on the long no shirt on cigarette hang 0:26:05.920 --> 0:26:10.840 another quarter of his mouth. It was pretty funny. Yeah, 0:26:10.960 --> 0:26:13.040 because I can see you, I can see well. The 0:26:13.080 --> 0:26:15.320 funny thing is I always thought my son was gonna 0:26:15.359 --> 0:26:18.879 be like Zach Martin. Ye can't block like that, but 0:26:19.240 --> 0:26:22.399 road block I don't know yet. Yeah, yeah, but no. 0:26:22.600 --> 0:26:24.520 But but just I thought that was really good for 0:26:24.560 --> 0:26:26.760 them to kind of say, hey, we're gonna just hit 0:26:26.800 --> 0:26:28.959 this head on and we're not worried about it, but 0:26:29.000 --> 0:26:30.960 we're gonna have some not have fun with it, but 0:26:31.040 --> 0:26:33.240 just bring some light to it. And and just showed 0:26:33.280 --> 0:26:35.280 that it doesn't matter. And it didn't. Yeah, real quick, 0:26:35.359 --> 0:26:37.200 let's flip over to the defensive side of the ball. 0:26:37.520 --> 0:26:40.159 This defensive performance last night. They held Tampa Bay to 0:26:40.400 --> 0:26:44.399 six points with fourteen minutes left in the fourth quarter. Um, 0:26:44.520 --> 0:26:48.840 and I'll ask you guys just in general, Yeah, right, 0:26:49.080 --> 0:26:50.640 what was the key last night? What do you think 0:26:50.720 --> 0:26:53.199 was the key defensively to them being able to just 0:26:53.280 --> 0:26:56.880 completely shut them down? Man, I've only seen a little 0:26:56.920 --> 0:26:58.680 bit of the of the first half. I didn't get 0:26:58.680 --> 0:27:01.159 a chance to not working on a lot of sleep here, 0:27:01.160 --> 0:27:03.720 you've probably seen it. Yeah me. I mean I thought 0:27:03.760 --> 0:27:07.600 though Micah Parsons set the tone again. He had one 0:27:07.640 --> 0:27:10.320 of those games where he was just he was just 0:27:10.440 --> 0:27:13.399 the effort. I mean just okay, he was you just 0:27:13.440 --> 0:27:16.320 couldn't lock him. Yeah, you said Donald Smith was going 0:27:16.359 --> 0:27:17.920 to have a problem. Yeah, and it was the first 0:27:18.080 --> 0:27:20.359 series of the game. Yeah, that just going in you 0:27:20.359 --> 0:27:22.440 could it was one of those things that Tampa people 0:27:22.480 --> 0:27:24.320 even knew that themselves that that was going to be 0:27:24.359 --> 0:27:26.439 an issue for them. I think the really the difference 0:27:26.440 --> 0:27:29.280 in this game is you you were able to affect 0:27:29.280 --> 0:27:31.959 Brady in a way with your pass rush that you know, 0:27:32.000 --> 0:27:37.040 and that goes with Goldston, Parsons, Osa, you know, all 0:27:37.080 --> 0:27:39.600 these guys. You know, they were able to just kept 0:27:39.680 --> 0:27:43.240 rotating those guys and and the more that the game 0:27:43.320 --> 0:27:44.920 wore on where it was like they're not going to 0:27:45.040 --> 0:27:46.920 run the ball, They're not even gonna try to run 0:27:46.960 --> 0:27:48.919 the ball. You know, when you get Tampa and they 0:27:48.920 --> 0:27:51.760 don't complete they try two screens that go nowhere, get 0:27:51.800 --> 0:27:54.840 tipped knocked away. All that you're thinking, Okay, now you're 0:27:54.880 --> 0:27:57.800 locked in to what's going on there. I think that 0:27:57.960 --> 0:28:00.960 I think having vander esh back was huge because of 0:28:01.040 --> 0:28:04.560 his ability to get to the football. Curse was an 0:28:04.720 --> 0:28:08.760 m effort two, and so was Wilson. Both those Donovan 0:28:08.840 --> 0:28:11.480 Wilson was not going to let this team lose last 0:28:11.560 --> 0:28:13.960 night the way that he was playing. And I think 0:28:14.000 --> 0:28:16.719 that's a I think that's a real you know, plus 0:28:16.760 --> 0:28:19.520 to those guys that you know, I know in the 0:28:19.520 --> 0:28:23.399 pregame show and we've talked about it, make every ball 0:28:23.440 --> 0:28:27.200 a contested ball, and they did. They made every play 0:28:27.280 --> 0:28:30.040 that Brady had to throw a contested play, and I 0:28:30.080 --> 0:28:33.439 think that was going to be pressure contested ball. You 0:28:33.480 --> 0:28:36.480 saw the result last night. Guy averaged about five yards 0:28:36.480 --> 0:28:39.360 of completion throwing the ball sixty six times. That's a 0:28:39.360 --> 0:28:41.560 Hall of fame maybe the best quarterback ever to play 0:28:41.600 --> 0:28:43.959 this game, you know. And you went out and you 0:28:43.960 --> 0:28:48.280 you made him look really, really ordinary to the point 0:28:48.280 --> 0:28:51.479 where people are saying, do you really want Tom Brady 0:28:51.520 --> 0:28:53.680 coming playing for your team next year? Do you really 0:28:53.680 --> 0:28:58.400 want that? You want that? Okay, that's what you want? Y? Yeah. No. 0:28:58.520 --> 0:29:03.440 And again I think having Hankins back and late in 0:29:03.520 --> 0:29:08.440 venderation with Layton, I had my concerns prior to this game, 0:29:08.880 --> 0:29:11.760 just because I'm the mental aspect of things, because I've 0:29:11.760 --> 0:29:14.760 seen him come back from different injuries from like the neck, 0:29:14.920 --> 0:29:18.760 shoulder area, and it had taken him a while every 0:29:18.760 --> 0:29:22.600 time it just mentally he just wasn't just going out 0:29:22.640 --> 0:29:25.880 there and tackling without any hesitation, Like there was always 0:29:25.920 --> 0:29:28.280 something in his game that kind of was always like 0:29:28.320 --> 0:29:31.560 a step back. But he played so well and that 0:29:31.680 --> 0:29:34.640 was not a word or he was not thinking about 0:29:34.680 --> 0:29:38.160 his neck whatsoever. He played really really good And it's 0:29:38.160 --> 0:29:43.120 surprising coming back from what even last year. But I 0:29:43.160 --> 0:29:46.200 feel like maybe the last two years talking about a 0:29:46.240 --> 0:29:49.280 guy that you're like, Okay, should he even be on 0:29:49.320 --> 0:29:52.680 the team anymore? A guy that when you sign it back, 0:29:52.680 --> 0:29:56.360 it was kind of like trending down and he just wasn't, 0:29:56.400 --> 0:30:00.440 you know, having those type of games anymore. Us you 0:30:00.480 --> 0:30:03.800 had seen his rookie year, but then the year he's 0:30:03.840 --> 0:30:07.480 had so far this year has been very, very outstanding. 0:30:07.560 --> 0:30:08.960 And the fact that he played the way that he 0:30:09.040 --> 0:30:11.000 did after the injury, I think what was a really 0:30:11.040 --> 0:30:13.320 really good sign in this is usually in these games 0:30:13.360 --> 0:30:17.040 where it's a physical running team, Layton vander esh is 0:30:17.040 --> 0:30:19.000 the guy that always shows up. It turned into a 0:30:19.040 --> 0:30:21.560 passing game, and what was Layton vanderss doing having to 0:30:21.560 --> 0:30:24.040 play from depth almost like what they call a robber 0:30:24.320 --> 0:30:26.120 in the middle of the field and kind of like 0:30:26.280 --> 0:30:29.240 taking things away that way. And usually you don't think 0:30:29.240 --> 0:30:32.960 of Layton vander Esh, the the past defender. You think 0:30:32.960 --> 0:30:35.640 of Layton Vanderesh run go get ball, you know, ce ball, 0:30:35.720 --> 0:30:37.880 hit ball. You know. He broke up two passes, some 0:30:38.040 --> 0:30:40.080 of them they have been a touchdown if he didn't 0:30:40.080 --> 0:30:41.680 get his hands on it too. They could have had 0:30:41.680 --> 0:30:45.240 three interceptions last night. Yeah, they had their hands so 0:30:45.400 --> 0:30:48.960 many usually they had. I mean they got Brady. His 0:30:49.080 --> 0:30:51.880 eye level, as we always talk about, was bad. You know, 0:30:51.920 --> 0:30:54.600 the receivers were now Dallas didn't give him any room 0:30:54.640 --> 0:30:57.120 back there. They did not give them any room throwing 0:30:57.120 --> 0:30:59.520 that football. Put numbers of what you're saying, Brian about 0:30:59.560 --> 0:31:01.800 being able to put pressure and also being able to 0:31:01.800 --> 0:31:05.040 contest passes. Last night, the Cowboys had nine quarterback pressures, 0:31:05.240 --> 0:31:08.120 second most of any game this season in the NFL. 0:31:08.480 --> 0:31:11.240 Cowboys had ten I think earlier in the season. But 0:31:11.320 --> 0:31:14.840 they also had twelve. Yeah. Maybe they also had twelve 0:31:14.880 --> 0:31:18.239 pass defended defenses last night. So when you think about that, 0:31:18.520 --> 0:31:21.760 they had a ton of batted down balls and they 0:31:21.760 --> 0:31:23.959 also had a ton of pressure. Like all night, they 0:31:24.000 --> 0:31:26.240 had pressure, and you could see there was so much 0:31:26.280 --> 0:31:29.040 pressure that even on plays when they didn't get pressure. 0:31:29.360 --> 0:31:31.040 You could sense that Brady was just getting rid of 0:31:31.040 --> 0:31:32.960 the ball really quick because he felt like the pressure 0:31:33.000 --> 0:31:35.440 was coming. So they really affected him. And that's how 0:31:35.440 --> 0:31:37.440 you have to beat to Brady. The great example of 0:31:37.440 --> 0:31:40.000 that is like after every play when it was an incomplete, 0:31:40.040 --> 0:31:41.920 you see Brady kind of you know, he's like tell him. 0:31:41.920 --> 0:31:43.520 You know, you can see he's mad. He's like run 0:31:43.600 --> 0:31:46.640 you know, and right, no, dude, you just couldn't get 0:31:46.720 --> 0:31:48.880 him the ball, right, you know, I mean you got 0:31:48.920 --> 0:31:50.360 you threw it out there a little bit too soon. 0:31:50.720 --> 0:31:53.320 You threw it not to get hit. That's what you did. Yeah, all, 0:31:53.400 --> 0:31:55.040 we're gonna take our final break when we come back, 0:31:55.200 --> 0:31:56.920 we kind of talk about special teams. We got to 0:31:56.920 --> 0:31:59.760 talk about the kicker. Rough night for him, And to 0:31:59.800 --> 0:32:01.320 be quite honest with you, if you go out of 0:32:01.680 --> 0:32:03.480 leave a game where you win thirty one to sixteen 0:32:03.480 --> 0:32:05.320 and the worst thing to happen was the kicker, you're 0:32:05.360 --> 0:32:06.760 probably in a pretty good position. But we do have 0:32:06.800 --> 0:32:08.240 to talk about it. We'll go when come right back. 0:32:08.280 --> 0:32:12.560 Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio.

I walked down there. I was a little 0:35:15.160 --> 0:35:16.680 bit ahead of you guys going down in the field 0:35:16.680 --> 0:35:18.480 before the game went I mean at the end of 0:35:18.480 --> 0:35:21.120 the game, went down there, and I could tell everybody 0:35:21.160 --> 0:35:25.439 was looking did you see and I mean Tom Cruise, Yeah, 0:35:25.840 --> 0:35:28.080 I just missed his tiny just went over there and 0:35:28.120 --> 0:35:30.239 like his entourge that they're like, look there he is 0:35:30.239 --> 0:35:32.320 a Mike.

But before the game, you're not surprised 0:35:39.160 --> 0:35:41.400 you missed him some auto race one time. Maybe I 0:35:41.440 --> 0:35:47.200 saw him, Yes, I think yeah. Um we're walking And 0:35:47.440 --> 0:35:49.440 if you've seen this on social media, the video that 0:35:49.480 --> 0:35:52.879 we posted after the game about about the captain Dak 0:35:52.960 --> 0:35:55.560 saying I'm the captain now he Derek is showing me 0:35:55.600 --> 0:35:58.560 this video. We're in the we're in downstairs under the 0:35:58.560 --> 0:36:01.719 stadium for the game. He's showing me this and he's 0:36:01.760 --> 0:36:04.120 just like, and I know it scares you to think, like, 0:36:04.120 --> 0:36:06.640 oh my god, Like, hope nobody posts this, because if 0:36:06.640 --> 0:36:08.880 we don't win this game, that better going to trash, 0:36:09.000 --> 0:36:11.560 right right, And so he's like, and so he's saying, Okay, 0:36:11.560 --> 0:36:13.680 if the Cowboys win and Dak has a good game, 0:36:13.800 --> 0:36:16.200 that we're gonna post this. And as he's saying this, 0:36:16.239 --> 0:36:19.360 we kind of look up and man, I tell you, 0:36:19.480 --> 0:36:23.360 there's one guy by himself except for this one person. 0:36:23.440 --> 0:36:27.600 No no entourage, no camera crew, nothing, just Tom Brady 0:36:27.880 --> 0:36:30.719 and his jaw walking right at this and we and 0:36:30.880 --> 0:36:32.480 all the four of us, we had four people with 0:36:32.520 --> 0:36:34.520 this Patricks with us in and we just stopped. Were 0:36:34.520 --> 0:36:36.160 just like like we were eight years old. We were 0:36:36.200 --> 0:36:39.000 just like, hey, how's it going. He's just like, hey, 0:36:39.080 --> 0:36:41.960 what's up and just walked on by as he's got 0:36:41.960 --> 0:36:43.560 this video out of this street, you know, like with 0:36:43.640 --> 0:36:45.959 a dak and a pirate hat. You know, it's saying 0:36:46.000 --> 0:36:51.279 I'm your captain. He walks by, and I really wish 0:36:51.320 --> 0:36:53.960 I would have said, hey, captain, but I didn't say that. 0:36:54.080 --> 0:36:55.719 So we just kept going. And then all of a 0:36:55.719 --> 0:36:57.560 sudden we look back and we're like, okay, so then 0:36:57.600 --> 0:37:00.160 we're gonna put play this video and then yeah, I 0:37:00.200 --> 0:37:01.480 don't want to see what would have happened if we 0:37:01.520 --> 0:37:03.840 could say it, Hey, Tom, what do you think about 0:37:03.880 --> 0:37:05.120 Like I want to see what you think about this. 0:37:05.360 --> 0:37:07.560 We're thinking about it after the game, after kick your butt, Like, 0:37:07.560 --> 0:37:09.040 we want to see what you think about this. Dad, 0:37:09.239 --> 0:37:10.759 there it goes. You want to know exactly how to 0:37:10.800 --> 0:37:12.560 lose this game? You don't have to him and just 0:37:12.560 --> 0:37:14.120 show him like, this is what we're gonna play after 0:37:14.120 --> 0:37:15.400 the game, and it would have been it would have 0:37:15.400 --> 0:37:17.520 been a little different. I'm guessing Tom, you're really good 0:37:17.520 --> 0:37:19.759 with the social media stuff. Hey, what do you think 0:37:19.800 --> 0:37:24.040 about this one? Yeah? You know, can't give him your phone, 0:37:24.040 --> 0:37:26.960 he might break it. Wow? Is that what we're doing? 0:37:27.719 --> 0:37:29.759 That's what Brad Sham said last night. He goes, if 0:37:29.800 --> 0:37:33.680 you can make this a two iPad game, you're probably 0:37:33.719 --> 0:37:38.600 doing pretty well. Bunny. Nobody, none of y'all know, bad Bunny, 0:37:39.360 --> 0:37:44.359 Bad Bunny. Most people here, your crowd not the right crowd. 0:37:44.880 --> 0:37:47.799 Trying to say no, I'm just saying, well, but the 0:37:47.840 --> 0:37:51.920 thing is to say where like really, he gets really 0:37:52.040 --> 0:37:54.400 like frustrated when fans come up to him with like 0:37:54.440 --> 0:37:56.400 the phone in his face. So he's kind of no 0:37:56.640 --> 0:38:00.760 now from for taking people's cell phones and just throwing 0:38:00.800 --> 0:38:02.839 it away or like throwing it in somewhere else just 0:38:03.360 --> 0:38:06.160 and nobody's punched him over there. Huh No. Usually it's 0:38:06.200 --> 0:38:08.719 people that kind of invade his space. He's like, I'm 0:38:08.719 --> 0:38:12.040 cool if you asked for or whatever he's get Is 0:38:12.040 --> 0:38:17.680 he a spokesman for Apple? Now? What he's Yeah, he's 0:38:17.680 --> 0:38:19.719 got he's got a little loot up guessing. All right, 0:38:19.760 --> 0:38:23.480 let's talk about this because coming out of this last game, 0:38:23.800 --> 0:38:26.000 there really weren't a lot of things that went wrong 0:38:26.040 --> 0:38:29.480 for Dallas, but this area went really wrong. Um Brett 0:38:29.560 --> 0:38:33.399 Mohar goes one of five on extra points, not field goals, 0:38:33.520 --> 0:38:36.560 extra points. When you guys are able to look at it, 0:38:36.640 --> 0:38:40.120 was there anything that was happening with the operation that 0:38:40.120 --> 0:38:42.480 that could have been the culprit here? I found only 0:38:42.520 --> 0:38:45.480 one time where Overton snapped the ball inside and then 0:38:45.560 --> 0:38:48.399 they had to move it. The last week we talked 0:38:48.400 --> 0:38:52.759 about the commanders mismiss extra point, a great job, you know, 0:38:52.920 --> 0:38:57.040 anger smothering it, getting up laces away, and then you 0:38:57.120 --> 0:38:59.520 do have to worry about operation. You do have to 0:38:59.520 --> 0:39:02.000 worry about is he on the correct hash? For him, 0:39:02.040 --> 0:39:03.800 that's the correct hash. He kicks the ball to the the 0:39:03.920 --> 0:39:06.359 left hash, he tends to push it right there through 0:39:06.360 --> 0:39:08.360 the middle, and or he can even little draw it 0:39:08.400 --> 0:39:11.240 a little bit. And but I didn't see anything where 0:39:11.719 --> 0:39:14.680 laces were to him. I didn't see any foot slippage. 0:39:15.600 --> 0:39:19.680 I didn't see anything that would make me say other 0:39:19.760 --> 0:39:23.160 than that it's just maybe it's not Maybe it's a 0:39:23.160 --> 0:39:26.759 concentration problem. You know, you overcorrect, you push one, you 0:39:26.800 --> 0:39:30.080 push one, you hook one, you know, trying to make 0:39:30.160 --> 0:39:32.920 that to make that work. But yeah, you have to 0:39:32.920 --> 0:39:35.120 look at everything, you know, you have to study the 0:39:35.200 --> 0:39:41.200 timing of it, steps, approach, equipment, you know. Um, like 0:39:41.360 --> 0:39:43.960 Christie Scales, We're gonna have her on today on a 0:39:44.040 --> 0:39:45.560 one oh five three the Fan on our show from 0:39:45.560 --> 0:39:48.239 two to seven to day, and I think she's got 0:39:48.360 --> 0:39:52.359 something that she learned from the sidelines yesterday. So I'm 0:39:52.360 --> 0:39:54.839 looking forward, if you know, maybe tomorrow we can kind 0:39:54.840 --> 0:39:57.719 of revisit that. But there was nothing on tape that 0:39:57.880 --> 0:40:01.560 I saw that was just that, Oh that's the issue. 0:40:01.560 --> 0:40:04.080 It wasn't good in pre game either, really, yeah, not 0:40:04.200 --> 0:40:07.040 really at all. And uh but you know that was 0:40:07.080 --> 0:40:09.080 a lot of the long field goals, you know that 0:40:09.120 --> 0:40:12.120 you see it. Don't really study the shorter ones, but 0:40:12.719 --> 0:40:14.440 the longer ones. I know, he was having a hard 0:40:14.440 --> 0:40:16.759 time getting it through there. So you never tried a 0:40:16.800 --> 0:40:18.759 field goal, you know. And and I thought there were 0:40:18.800 --> 0:40:21.080 some times in the game where I was like, you know, 0:40:21.320 --> 0:40:23.920 there was what what was it when it was twelve 0:40:23.960 --> 0:40:26.839 to nothing and they got down there about the two 0:40:26.880 --> 0:40:29.080 yard line they ended up scoring. I guess I can 0:40:29.200 --> 0:40:31.480 go eighteen to nothing. But I think that was the 0:40:31.480 --> 0:40:34.560 possession where I said, you know what a field goal here, 0:40:35.120 --> 0:40:37.440 especially down at the two or three yard line when 0:40:37.480 --> 0:40:40.279 they short Dak ran it in on that play. The 0:40:40.360 --> 0:40:46.480 play that yeah, I know what you're saying, kicked the 0:40:46.520 --> 0:40:48.480 field goal. Yeah, it just tried. I mean just was 0:40:48.520 --> 0:40:50.880 when it was. This was when it was probably eighteen 0:40:50.960 --> 0:40:53.160 to nothing because because you obviously knew there was a 0:40:53.200 --> 0:40:55.839 problem going on. But but I didn't think that way 0:40:55.840 --> 0:40:57.600 at six nothing. But when was the eighteen nothing, I 0:40:57.640 --> 0:40:59.520 was thinking, you know, let's get it, let's get that 0:41:00.040 --> 0:41:02.560 field goal here, especially a short one like this. Yeah 0:41:02.600 --> 0:41:04.440 it was eighteen because I was thinking go up twenty 0:41:04.440 --> 0:41:06.800 one to nothing. I don't know how did they score 0:41:06.960 --> 0:41:09.120 to go at twenty four? What was that touchdown? I 0:41:09.200 --> 0:41:12.440 have it here? Gallop two yard pass? Yeah, gallop two 0:41:12.480 --> 0:41:14.799 yard pass. So that was the one where I was like, 0:41:15.200 --> 0:41:18.120 you know, be conservative, kick a short field goal, get 0:41:18.160 --> 0:41:20.880 him on the board at twenty one to nothing, because 0:41:20.880 --> 0:41:22.920 that would probably be easier than your extra point, right, 0:41:22.960 --> 0:41:24.319 you don't have a lot of time to miss when 0:41:24.320 --> 0:41:26.799 it's pretty short like that. But they scored, you know, 0:41:27.200 --> 0:41:31.759 greedy red zone offense scores again, was there any point 0:41:31.800 --> 0:41:33.920 in the game where you thought they should just not 0:41:34.040 --> 0:41:36.120 bring him back out, they should go for two or 0:41:36.120 --> 0:41:37.799 do you think it was a situation and they needed 0:41:37.840 --> 0:41:40.279 to stick with the trying it And even though he 0:41:40.360 --> 0:41:42.800 dug himself into a massive holes and there was the 0:41:42.920 --> 0:41:45.160 side of me that almost and I was listening to 0:41:46.080 --> 0:41:48.959 I had this thought in my head after the Commander's game, 0:41:49.640 --> 0:41:53.560 was Greg Olsen saying, why are these guys continuing to 0:41:53.600 --> 0:41:56.399 play on offense? It's getting worse? You know, what kind 0:41:56.440 --> 0:41:58.840 of confidence are you building with Dac and the offense 0:41:58.960 --> 0:42:02.080 is it's getting worse. And I also I was thinking, no, 0:42:02.160 --> 0:42:05.120 as long as the score was what it was, keep kicking, 0:42:05.280 --> 0:42:08.279 keep kicking, keep kicking. And then Greg Olsen came in 0:42:08.360 --> 0:42:11.479 my head and goes, it's getting worse, you know, and 0:42:11.520 --> 0:42:15.000 unfortunately you made that last extra point. Yeah. Fortunately that 0:42:15.719 --> 0:42:17.560 you know, that's the one thing. And you know, and 0:42:18.040 --> 0:42:20.120 I think that guys like Dalton Schultz, I know, you 0:42:20.120 --> 0:42:22.160 guys are in the locker room. You know, hey, we 0:42:22.239 --> 0:42:24.080 got your back, you know. And he stood up there 0:42:24.080 --> 0:42:26.640 and answered the questions and stuff like that you had to. 0:42:26.800 --> 0:42:32.840 But I'm man just laughing because she Chilton, I mean, okay, 0:42:32.840 --> 0:42:34.480 don't bring it to the air. No, no, no, no, 0:42:34.719 --> 0:42:36.360 I'm just saying Schultz didn't talk to the media. I 0:42:36.400 --> 0:42:38.160 don't know what the what the issue there is. Yeah, 0:42:38.160 --> 0:42:40.120 he did say that with mar gained a lot of 0:42:40.120 --> 0:42:42.000 respect from Mahard for talking like that and not only 0:42:42.040 --> 0:42:45.239 talking once, but then twice when the NFL network shows up. 0:42:45.280 --> 0:42:47.440 So's sorry we didn't get the first time around. But 0:42:47.680 --> 0:42:50.359 he seems like he's always Yeah, he's always been He's 0:42:50.360 --> 0:42:53.719 gonna stand upy I think now, and I don't know 0:42:53.760 --> 0:42:56.160 if you can afford to do this. I don't know 0:42:56.200 --> 0:42:58.400 if you. I mean, if you bring a practice squad 0:42:58.480 --> 0:43:01.560 kicker on and you have him ready for game day, 0:43:01.600 --> 0:43:05.680 do you make another kicker on the forty eight? Do you? 0:43:05.840 --> 0:43:07.920 I mean, I mean, you know you have those extra 0:43:08.000 --> 0:43:13.160 call ups. Can you afford to elevate a kicker? You know, 0:43:13.880 --> 0:43:16.840 if all of a sudden in San Francisco, it's the 0:43:16.880 --> 0:43:19.279 opening drive and you you know, you drive it and 0:43:19.320 --> 0:43:21.640 you're you need points and you miss a field goal, 0:43:21.719 --> 0:43:23.759 do you just immediately say we're going to the other guy. 0:43:24.040 --> 0:43:25.839 We're not gonna We're not gonna go through this again. 0:43:26.000 --> 0:43:28.040 I will tell you this. For me, I would I 0:43:28.120 --> 0:43:29.920 would feel better if I was a person that was 0:43:29.960 --> 0:43:33.359 coaching this team having another option. Now that doesn't mean 0:43:33.400 --> 0:43:36.480 I have to use them, but like you get into 0:43:36.520 --> 0:43:39.759 a tight game and you've already had a couple opportunities 0:43:39.760 --> 0:43:42.360 where you missed. I would I would be like, Okay, 0:43:42.400 --> 0:43:45.279 I gotta have some kind of option other than just 0:43:45.360 --> 0:43:47.759 going for two every time, Like, I've got to have 0:43:47.840 --> 0:43:50.280 some other options. I think this week to me, because 0:43:50.280 --> 0:43:53.280 it's a short week. I mean today's Tuesday, tomorrow's way, 0:43:53.320 --> 0:43:55.000 and you got a game of Sunday night. I mean, 0:43:55.320 --> 0:43:57.600 we're you're in a short week right now. And if 0:43:57.640 --> 0:43:59.920 you if you have a kicking derby out here and now, 0:44:00.080 --> 0:44:02.480 maybe they won't show the kicking derby out here to 0:44:02.520 --> 0:44:06.359 you guys. You know, maybe they'll go inside. But man, 0:44:06.400 --> 0:44:08.279 if you if you look at the wave we kick 0:44:08.320 --> 0:44:11.440 on grass please well but if we if we you know, 0:44:11.440 --> 0:44:13.680 if we look at the waiver wire today and they 0:44:13.800 --> 0:44:17.640 are on Wednesday and they brought in four kickers, you know, 0:44:17.800 --> 0:44:20.840 hire Allah who and everybody else that you know, Gara 0:44:20.920 --> 0:44:24.799 Bay and whoever else, then you know, then now you 0:44:24.840 --> 0:44:27.359 know what they're thinking. Yeah, but that does that even 0:44:27.440 --> 0:44:30.680 hurt the kickers confidence even more? Can't you get any 0:44:30.680 --> 0:44:33.160 worse though, I mean, I don't has to know he 0:44:33.280 --> 0:44:36.719 has to know that that is a concern. I mean, 0:44:36.760 --> 0:44:39.480 you can't. I don't understand. I can't get mad about that. 0:44:39.880 --> 0:44:42.520 I don't have a problem with it. I mean, obviously, 0:44:42.640 --> 0:44:49.640 yesterday was bad, but I feel that historically bad. Yeah, yes, yes, 0:44:49.840 --> 0:44:52.680 but he's has such a great season, and I keep 0:44:52.760 --> 0:44:57.160 going back to, Okay, this is not who he's shown 0:44:57.280 --> 0:44:59.919 us this year. He's been one of the best play 0:45:00.080 --> 0:45:02.920 yers on the team, just doing his job and getting 0:45:02.920 --> 0:45:06.960 it done. At the same time, Gotta remember there are 0:45:06.960 --> 0:45:09.840 games where people just simply have a bad game and 0:45:09.960 --> 0:45:14.560 things click, and I get it, like the kick. The 0:45:14.680 --> 0:45:17.799 kicking thing is a very mental thing, like we know 0:45:17.840 --> 0:45:20.279 how much it affects, like it all it takes is 0:45:20.280 --> 0:45:23.279 a game like going for it to go down. Yes, yes, 0:45:23.680 --> 0:45:27.120 but I do have confidence, and I really appreciate even 0:45:27.160 --> 0:45:30.879 though by the third time I'm like, okay, start going 0:45:30.880 --> 0:45:34.160 for two now, let's just put that to the side. Afterwards, 0:45:34.200 --> 0:45:36.799 I do appreciate the fact that the team stuck with 0:45:36.840 --> 0:45:40.759 it and kept giving him tries and let him at 0:45:40.800 --> 0:45:44.640 least make that last one, which was very important, important 0:45:44.640 --> 0:45:46.799 for him to end that game like that, but just 0:45:46.880 --> 0:45:49.240 in general, to see the support that the team showed 0:45:49.320 --> 0:45:57.520 Sideline erupted. Yeah, I mean a couple of bucks man 0:45:57.600 --> 0:46:00.279 that even cheer after he made that last one. But 0:46:01.480 --> 0:46:05.960 I just appreciate the fact that everyone's staken by him 0:46:06.440 --> 0:46:11.440 because again, we've all had pretty bad days, and based 0:46:11.480 --> 0:46:14.520 on what he's shown us through the season this year, 0:46:15.360 --> 0:46:17.759 I'm not ready to say, Okay, you saw get out 0:46:17.760 --> 0:46:22.840 of here. But it's the playoffs too, and I get it. 0:46:22.920 --> 0:46:25.680 I would bring a second option just in case you 0:46:25.800 --> 0:46:29.520 never know, but I would stick with this. Yeah, my thing. 0:46:29.640 --> 0:46:32.120 I agree with you. I think you don't get rid 0:46:32.120 --> 0:46:34.719 of him because he's had such a good year, but 0:46:34.800 --> 0:46:37.000 that doesn't mean you don't have a backup option like 0:46:37.440 --> 0:46:39.440 I think. And to me, it wasn't just one game. 0:46:39.480 --> 0:46:41.080 If this was just this game he didn't have the 0:46:41.120 --> 0:46:43.359 missing in Washington, I might feel a little differently no 0:46:43.360 --> 0:46:45.399 matter how bad it was this one game, I might 0:46:45.440 --> 0:46:49.000 feel like it was just one game was terrible. I 0:46:49.120 --> 0:46:52.040 get it, but it does it does for me starts. 0:46:52.680 --> 0:46:54.799 I get it, but when my point is it's still 0:46:54.840 --> 0:46:57.520 spanned two games, and that's where I start to say, 0:46:57.680 --> 0:46:59.839 I'm getting a little bit worried about the mental side 0:46:59.880 --> 0:47:02.120 of this for him, And yeah, and what and that's 0:47:02.280 --> 0:47:04.760 we've seen this in the NFL a number of times. 0:47:05.040 --> 0:47:08.200 You have kicking is a mental thing because all they 0:47:08.239 --> 0:47:10.719 do in practice, like that's your only job every day. 0:47:10.760 --> 0:47:13.240 You're just kicking, kicking, kicking, so they can do it. 0:47:13.239 --> 0:47:16.280 It becomes a mental thing at some point where just mentally, 0:47:16.280 --> 0:47:19.239 for whatever reason, I can't quite do what I wanted 0:47:19.239 --> 0:47:22.239 to do. Kick. There's such a thing as kicking too much. 0:47:22.400 --> 0:47:25.000 You can't allow them to kick, to just spend the 0:47:25.040 --> 0:47:27.399 whole practice kicking and kicking and kicking. It doesn't work 0:47:27.400 --> 0:47:30.080 that way. So there's like a limited amount of kicks 0:47:30.239 --> 0:47:33.719 they make him do. But we'll see how he does 0:47:33.760 --> 0:47:36.399 I practice. But I think I don't know. I don't 0:47:36.440 --> 0:47:40.000 know what it was last night. I don't know, I 0:47:40.040 --> 0:47:42.520 don't know what from the environment. They weren't even close. 0:47:42.920 --> 0:47:45.920 They weren't even close. That's the problem. They weren't either 0:47:45.960 --> 0:47:48.440 of the one where hit the upright right. Yeah, they 0:47:48.480 --> 0:47:51.200 weren't even pretty hard gloss, I mean, how bad those 0:47:51.280 --> 0:47:53.400 kicks were. All right, we'll be back tomorrow. Man's a 0:47:53.440 --> 0:47:55.240 short week. We got to jump right on it. Tomorrow 0:47:55.280 --> 0:47:59.120 we will be talking about the San Francisco forty nine ers. 0:47:59.280 --> 0:48:02.120 It's right here. Cowboys versus forty nine. Is this Sunday 0:48:02.160 --> 0:48:05.359 Sunday evening? I guess depending on where you are, depend 0:48:05.400 --> 0:48:06.880 on where you are. Back here in Dallas, it'll be 0:48:06.920 --> 0:48:08.880 a night game, but there it'll be an afternoon game. 0:48:08.920 --> 0:48:10.920 We'll talk about that starting tomorrow. We'll get into San 0:48:10.920 --> 0:48:13.319 Francisco's office versus Dallas Defense. Sild In for Nick Eatman. 0:48:13.320 --> 0:48:15.680 Brian brought us an Ambergarcia. I'm Derek Higelton.
