11
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: lot to talk about today. Cowboys take their first and

12
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: really only beat down of the season yesterday at the

13
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: hands of the lowly Denver Bronco, or at least lowly

14
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,639
Speaker 1: as of what we thought of them on Friday, very

15
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: very different team showed up on Sunday. They beat the

16
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys thirty to sixteen. We're gonna tell you what what

17
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: our thoughts were on that game before we get to

18
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: that real quick, Nick, give me a fifty six fifty six, Um,

19
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: how about Eugene the hitting machine Lockhart. Here we go.

20
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: That's a good could have used the hitting machine. Yesterday

21
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: definitely could use a little hitting machine. Yeah, that was

22
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: a that was a rough game, man. I just I

23
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: don't think that any of us, I know, none of

24
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: us expected what we saw yesterday. Even if in some

25
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: of some of your somewhere in your wild imagination you

26
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: could have imagined that Cowboys were gonna lose that game,

27
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: nobody thought it would be a beat down like that.

28
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: Let's start first, though, I want to get a big

29
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: picture storyline from each of you guys of what was yesterday. Dave,

30
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: I see that look on your face. Let's start with you.

31
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: What was your big picture story you take from the

32
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: big picture from yesterday or big picture because I gotta

33
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: tell you a story from yesterday, Okay from Yester, Well,

34
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: I think yesterday was just a classic example of what

35
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: we mean when we say this is the NFL. Like

36
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,839
Speaker 1: that's why we throw that out there all the time.

37
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: And people have been tweeting me for the last eighteen

38
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: hours like, oh it was a trap game. They were

39
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: looking ahead. No, it's the NFL, and the gap between

40
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: the good and the mediocre and the bad is shockingly small.

41
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: And if you don't come with it, you're gonna get

42
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: your ass kicked. That's my big picture takeaway, and that's

43
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: why having had a chance to really think about it

44
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: and look around the rest of the NFL. Do you

45
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: want to lose No? Do you want to get embarrassed

46
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: in your own house? No? But like I feel a

47
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: lot better than I bet a lot of people do

48
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: right now, because I'm just like, it's a weird league

49
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: for whatever reason. I don't think the Cowboys showed up

50
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: thinking they needed to try yesterday and they got a

51
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: harsh reminder and you pick up the pieces and move forward.

52
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: Stuff happens during the course of a now seventeen game season,

53
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: and I feel I'm sorry if I like a Homer.

54
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: I feel pretty confident that it's more of a blip

55
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: than some sort of crazy indicator that this team's actually bad.

56
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: Amber I'm not worried. I wasn't even mad. I was

57
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: like watching the game and just complete disbelief. You know,

58
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: when you're like, what the heck is happening? But at

59
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: the same time, I know that that's not them, Like

60
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: what happened yesterday is not really them. Despite all the

61
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: mistakes that they've made throughout the season, I truly believe

62
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: that they're gonna come back next week and play, and

63
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: actually they can't get out. I thought we were gonna

64
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: fight like all day today. I'm shocked to hear this

65
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: coming out of your mouth. Was so I told it

66
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: about this yesterday last night, and I was gonna look

67
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: it up, and I just completely forgot. But and I

68
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: know this is a different team, different coaches and everything,

69
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: But you guys remember several years ago when they played

70
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: in Denver that they played pretty much saying makes that way.

71
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: It was embarrassing and we didn't really know what the

72
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: heck happened because every single player had a bad game

73
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: that day. Do you guys remember how they came back

74
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: and played the next few weeks? Not off the top

75
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: of my head, to be honest with you, they went

76
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: nine and seven that year. I know that I wanted

77
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: to look it up, but anyways, my point is, I

78
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: think it was just that exact game that that you

79
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: just don't really know what happened in all levels coaching

80
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: the players on defense, on offense. And I'm sure we'll

81
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: get into the whole thing, but at the end of

82
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: the day, I'm really not that concerns. Yeah, I think

83
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: that they can clean it up and come back and

84
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: play better for another wind? Nick what Nick body language?

85
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: I'm curious. I think they I mean, you know, you

86
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: guys said if they got outplayed out, hit out, block out,

87
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: tackled out, coached out, cheered and verbroncos dot com, maybe

88
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: they had a better day than as. I don't know.

89
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that every everything was better. Their stories

90
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: were probably better. It's more fun. It's more fun to

91
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: write about a dominant win than an ass kicking. Yeah,

92
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: but they they I think they just underestimated them the

93
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: whole game. And I think it starts with McCarthy. You know,

94
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. I don't blast this guy like

95
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: like other people do. I give them the praise. I

96
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: think coaches get praise when they win. And I think that,

97
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: you know, I put it on them to start. I

98
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: think I think going out the way they did and

99
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: saying I thought, and I said this on the radio

100
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: this morning, I thought they played the game like you

101
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: would play Madden. You know, I'm gonna just I'm gonna

102
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: score here. I'm not kicking a field goal. I'm just

103
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: gonna score your kid. Oh yeah, yeah, I didn't catch Okay,

104
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: we didn't get it I'll get it the next time.

105
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: We'll stop them, we'll get it the next time. And

106
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: it just and they just kind of underestimated them. And

107
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't have a problem with the first

108
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: fourth down. I had a problem with the second one.

109
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: And you know, even though the even though they could

110
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: have got it, but they didn't. You know, I'm a

111
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: little bit more concerned than you guys are, just because

112
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: I like, well, we'll see, we'll see what they are.

113
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: But if you put that on tape, now I know

114
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: what you've got. Now, I know you can play like

115
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: crap and you can get blown out at home to

116
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: an average team with no star power. So it's a

117
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: little bit concerning. Your eyes are open, like we'll see,

118
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens this week. Yeah, you mentioned that

119
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: those calls there at the beginning of the game, and

120
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,239
Speaker 1: I think that was actually a part of that thinking.

121
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: Was a part of the reason why I think they

122
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: got what they got is because to me, that signify

123
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: the fact that in both those situations, you know, you

124
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: got fourth and one at Denver thirty eight, you got

125
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: fourth and two at Denver twenty Neither time did you

126
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: try for field goal. You just say we're going to

127
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: go for it. And I kind of agree a little

128
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: bit more with the fourth and one and thirty eight,

129
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: that's a pretty long field goal. Give it a shot.

130
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: Fourth and two with the twenty that's where and I

131
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: didn't kill him. I'll be honest with you. I didn't

132
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: kill him because I had the same mentality, which was,

133
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: I'm not scared of this team. Worst case scenario. I

134
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: think the defense is going to stop them from scoring

135
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: more points in their offense is going to be able

136
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: to score. So take a shot, be aggressive. And I

137
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: think that also is what bit him in the butt.

138
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: I think they went into that game thinking we're just

139
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: a better team, so we're gonna try some things, and

140
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: I think they started pressing as the game went on.

141
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: I think that's why guys were dropping balls. I think

142
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: that's why guys were, you know, dak is overthrowing guys

143
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: that are open. I think it's because they felt like

144
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: they were a better team and at some point their

145
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: betterness was just going to take over, right And when

146
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: it takes over, then we'll run away with this game.

147
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: And I think it played out just the opposite because,

148
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: as they said, Dave, this is the NFL and anybody

149
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: can beat you any given week. I do agree with that,

150
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: and I definitely I thought they pressed And yeah, I

151
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: mean that's such a great analogy. It reminded me of

152
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: me trying to win the Heisman on NC DOUBLEA football.

153
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: It's like, I gotta throw for four to fifty and

154
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: five touchdowns if I'm going to stay in the race.

155
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: And that's I thought Dak played that way. I thought

156
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: everybody played that way. It was just like, yeah, I

157
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: gotta I gotta get these stats up. We gotta remind

158
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: people who we are, and you kind of lose sight

159
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: of the big picture, which is winning the game. Having

160
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: said that, I don't have an issue with the aggressive

161
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: play calling. To be honest with you, well you never do.

162
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: Let's be honest. That's the way, right, But fifty five

163
00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: yard field goal, I mean, we've we've been I think

164
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: we all agree with that. And then the second one,

165
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't believe. And who is a bigger

166
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: Dak homer than yours? Truly, I can't believe we're killing

167
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: the decision Instead of the forty million dollar quarterback who

168
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: biffed it to the Cedric Wilson's ankles complete the pass

169
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: it wasn't tipped. Dak said it himself. Complete the easy

170
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: past to Cedric Wilson and keep the chains moving the offense.

171
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: Even still with how am surprised and impressed we are

172
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: with the way the defense is played. The offense is

173
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: your ticket. That's why you're gonna win games. That's why

174
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna get where you want to go. Complete a

175
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: very easy past to Cedric Wilson. Dak Prescott, I don't

176
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: have a problem with it at all, but it's just

177
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: it's a microcosm of everything they just they did. They

178
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: didn't do anything right. You throw it at Cedric Wilson's ankles.

179
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper, I bet he saw like he saw that

180
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 1: catch over the middle of the third and one that

181
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: he dropped in his mind as the ball's coming at him,

182
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm gonna house this, We're gonna be it's

183
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: gonna beet nineteen to seven. Still got a chance. Yeah,

184
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: then it's on the ground. And that's just at every

185
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: aspect of the team. They just couldn't do anything right

186
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: all day. And also bet that this morning when he

187
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: woke up, he was still seeing that ball not going

188
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 1: into his hands and hitting the ground. Like, how did

189
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: that drop that pass? Because that's not a pass that

190
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: he took. Somebody put out a graphic on Sunday night

191
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: that was like, Amari Cooper's been targeted X amount of

192
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: times this season. Sunday night after the Vikings game, I'm sorry,

193
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: you know, with the juggling catch and the game winner,

194
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: and they were like, he hasn't dropped a target this year,

195
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: and what are the odds that he finally has a

196
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: drop and it is as wide open and easy as

197
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: it's going to be for as good of a player

198
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: as he is. You guys mentioned earlier, nick I think

199
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: you mentioned that you give a little you give someone

200
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: the blame to Mike McCarthy here, and he even said

201
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 1: after the game, he said, we got out coaching, we

202
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: got out played. There was something though, he said after

203
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: that that caught my attention, and nick I mentioned it

204
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 1: team last night. He said, maybe I over coached the

205
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: penalties this week, and that jumped out at me because

206
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: when you think about how the Cowboys played, they were

207
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: they did seem to be a little bit they lost

208
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 1: a little bit at edge that we've seen them play with.

209
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: And when he said maybe I over coached penalties, this week.

210
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: It made me think, was this a situation where he

211
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: all week was harping on them, don't don't go to

212
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: that edge, don't go there, like you gotta make sure

213
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: you're not getting these dumb penalties. And because of that,

214
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: maybe they were a little more tentative, maybe they lost

215
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: a little bit that age. What were your thoughts on

216
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: that comment. That's interesting that he would say that, And

217
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if it translates to that

218
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: at all, but it felt like something they weren't tackling

219
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: those guys and those running backs. You know, they were

220
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: good backs, I guess, but but I mean they're not

221
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: like you know, Jim Brown Walter Peyton, which they made

222
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: it out to be in that game. I mean, they

223
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: just they didn't tackle. They didn't they didn't bring them

224
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: to the ground. I thought they got beat on second down.

225
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: I really did. I thought, because you get ten tackles

226
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 1: for a loss, that is that is insane amount of

227
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: tackles for loss. But how many times were the second

228
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: and fourteen and then they'd get a run for twelve

229
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: yards and announced third and two and then they would

230
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: convert it. So I don't I don't know if that

231
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: was it or not, But I wouldn't worry about it

232
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: for this game because it ain't happen in this game.

233
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: I promise you their defensive coordinator knows who they're playing

234
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: this game, and their guys are going to play to

235
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: their level of their defensive coordinator, and the aggressiveness will

236
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: definitely be there for this game. This is an entirely

237
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: subjective way to look at it, and I don't like

238
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 1: talking about fantasy football, but I have Melvin Gordon and

239
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: Javonte Williams on my team. I've they've been there and

240
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: injuries have forced me to play these guys, and I

241
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: like all week, I was like, those guys haven't done

242
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: crap all year, and nobody knows that better than me.

243
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: I was shocking to see the way that they broke contact.

244
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: I mean, their their yak must have been it. I

245
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: mean they ran for one ninety one and I like

246
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: two thirds of it must have been yak. It felt

247
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: like they were slipping a tackle every time they touched

248
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: the ball, do you think And I noticed this during

249
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: the game a lot of times, where they ended up

250
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: being broken tackles and guys kept getting more yards. It

251
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: looked like the defenders were reaching for the ball, grabbing

252
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 1: at the ball. Do you think that maybe they've kind

253
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: of overcoached trying to get the turnover and not emphasize

254
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: enough or one thing is get the guy down, mate,

255
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: that's pressing, like I said, the whole team. It's like, well,

256
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: if we can strip this guy here, then then the

257
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: offense has a short field and we can get back

258
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: on track. We can make it thirteen to seven. And

259
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're not focusing on getting the

260
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: guy down and he's got twelve yards when he should

261
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: have had three. I just don't think how do you

262
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: blame that on over coaching? I mean, how do you

263
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: take such a step backwards when they've been playing the

264
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 1: way that they have, you know, like, it doesn't make

265
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: sense to me. The one thing, and I get it,

266
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: like if you emphasize something so much like hey, be careful,

267
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: look for this, do that, do this, Yes, but that's

268
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: just such a drastic change. So I would have to

269
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: think that he had to come down with them maybe

270
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: feeling a little over confident and thinking like you guys

271
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: were talking about, which again it's another thing. I'm like, Okay,

272
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: where they have they been feeling kind of cocky. Have

273
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: they been feeling kind of was that? Has that even

274
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 1: been live? I'm glad you brought that. I mean, I'm

275
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: glad you brought that up, because it's really all I've

276
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: been thinking about. And we don't have as good of

277
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: a sense of the vibe of the team as we

278
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: used to. We don't see them nearly as often as

279
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: we would pre code. We're not in their locker room

280
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 1: where you kind of hear those side conversations and see, yeah,

281
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: and we're and you know, they bring four guys a

282
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: day out here to talk to us in a very

283
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: weird setting. It's just not the same. But and the

284
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: big thing too, is you're never gonna get a guy

285
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: to directly say like, yeah, we didn't take this team seriously.

286
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: That's that's like a suicidal type of quote, right, That's

287
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: just something that you're not going to get a guy

288
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: to say. But if you pass through the quotes, there

289
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: were a couple Layton vander esh six different times he

290
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: was like, I think we needed this. I you know,

291
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 1: this is the type of thing that that can help

292
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: us in the long run. And then Dak was asked

293
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: directly if if you felt maybe you felt a little

294
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: too high. Maybe you're a little too high on yourself.

295
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: And it's a long quote. I'm not going to read

296
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 1: the whole thing, but he said, with everything that went

297
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: wrong in this game, I would say maybe. And then

298
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: he goes on and he says, when you win a

299
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: game like we did last week on the road, in

300
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: a tough environment, everything going against you, I think sometimes

301
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: you think you can just roll out there and get

302
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: it done. And again he goes on to say a

303
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: lot more and he's like, there was not a point

304
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: up until the last five six minutes of that game

305
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: where we still didn't believe we could get it done.

306
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: And why not Minnesota, New England fifteen penalties, everything going

307
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: against you, you you still find a way to get it done.

308
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: And he said, when it finally sinks in that it's

309
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: not going to happen, you're reminded that this is the NFL,

310
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: this is a really tough business, and again, you're not

311
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: gonna get it direct Like, yes, we didn't try as

312
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: hard as we could have, but I just think there

313
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: was an edge lacking. I think they probably thought, like, man,

314
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: who's gonna mess with us? If we can go do

315
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: that in Minnesota with Cooper Rush, this is the mortalizing game.

316
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: And you know, and we've felt it. I mean we've

317
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: seen it on the road. We've seen the Cowboys. I mean,

318
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: I guarantee the Chargers felt that way. You know, when

319
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: they walk into their home stadium and they feel that way,

320
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: and the Vikings maybe last week too. I mean, you know,

321
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: that's the nature of the league. That's what happens. And

322
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: then you give them a lot of reasons to get

323
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: loud and cheer and stuff like that, so then you

324
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: know you had that going against you. And I mean,

325
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: as a special teams player, all you want to do

326
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: is block a punt. I mean that's all you want

327
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: to do. That that that changes the game. And you

328
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: can't even do that, right, I mean, you can't even

329
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: do You can't even block a punt. Right. That's when

330
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: you know it's not your day. When you block a punt,

331
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: you don't get the football. I mean, everything that and

332
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: I know you're probably gonna talk about it, but everything

333
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: that you when you come out of halftime, you were

334
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: this is a third quarter team. We got to get

335
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: a stop to get off the field. We gotta get

336
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: and then they block a punt and you still don't

337
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: get the football and the next thing you know, it's

338
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: nineteen that it doesn't make sense age You can't you

339
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: were you were watching like the Fox. What channel wasn't

340
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: on Fox? You were watching the TV broadcast? Right? Were

341
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: the announcer's hip to what was going on immediately? No? Okay,

342
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: because that's well to be fair, I had the English

343
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: the Spanish broadcast, but people did not really know what

344
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: was going on. I like, we always talk about you

345
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: miss something by not having all of that information coming

346
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: at you. You've kind of got to figure things out

347
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: for yourself. In the press box, me and Nick were

348
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: on the same page as like three plays kicked their ass,

349
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: blocked the punt. This is it's gonna be It's gonna

350
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: be tight. But this is how it happens. And they

351
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: go to commercial. The guy with the oven mittens down

352
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: on the field with the neon orange of them, and

353
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: you're like, okay, they're at commercial. The offense will be out,

354
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, the Denver offense is

355
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: trotting out and you're it's dawning on you like, wait,

356
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: what what's going on? And then the ref makes his

357
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: announcement like it hit me like a ton of bricks

358
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: when I realized that the offense wasn't going to have

359
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: the ball back because we had gotten no indication otherwise

360
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: that that was going to happen. Yeah, that was It

361
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: was huge, And you know it. You can argue all

362
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: day long with it. And I mean, and I've already

363
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: done that this morning, and it's it's a rule change

364
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: that needs to be I mean, it's a change in

365
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: the rules. I think that needs to happen. Um, it's

366
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: rare when this situation. My my take to the whole

367
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: thing is if the result of the play does not

368
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: result into a first down, then then it should be

369
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: the Cowboys ball. That's the way I look at it.

370
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: And maybe there's some nuances I don't I don't know of,

371
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: But if if it's fourth and twelve and all this

372
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: weird crap happens and they get seven yards with the ball,

373
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 1: then that's where the ball should be. You did not

374
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: get a first down. And I don't understand it. I don't.

375
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: I just I don't get it. It kind of makes

376
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 1: my brain hurt thinking about it, to be on because

377
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: I can imagine why it exists. Like I can think

378
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: of a scenario where a guy gets a finger on

379
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: it and it goes past the line of scrimmage and

380
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: some wonky stuff happens. I'm sure you know the game

381
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: can surprise you, right, like the more you watch, the

382
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 1: more new stuff you see. But yeah, I mean, that's

383
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: that seems focused like you know what I don't understand,

384
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: because in the same way, what I don't understand is

385
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: why we haven't seen this play out more because we

386
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: see times when a guy gets a fingertip on a

387
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,199
Speaker 1: punt and I'm surprised that that hasn't happened in a

388
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 1: situation where the guy kind of, you know, fair catches it,

389
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: but he doesn't catch it. It It just kind of bounces

390
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 1: and he goes down the and the the other team

391
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: goes down and downs the ball that would be their ball.

392
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: And I don't know that the guy back there getting

393
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: the that's gonna catch the punt always knows that a

394
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: fingertip actually one of his guys actually got a fingertip

395
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,479
Speaker 1: on it. I'm just surprised that this has never happened

396
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: before and that I've seen it in football and this

397
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: kind of scenario where a guy someone recovers just because

398
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 1: the ball was partially tipped or a distance. It was blocked,

399
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: but it was even partially tipped. It's kind of surprising

400
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: that this hasn't come up to where I've seen that

401
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: type of scenario usually doesn't get hit right there at

402
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage like that, you know. And I

403
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: talked to Nashan right after the game, and you know,

404
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: he was you know, he said that, you know, he

405
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: knew that he's standing at the line of scrimmage and

406
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: he's he's like, I know, the rule came at him fast. Yeah, yeah,

407
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: well and he's trying to make a play. I don't

408
00:18:55,800 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: have any fault for him, and um, I can tell

409
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: you more about that here after at the break. It's interesting.

410
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: But yes, no, it's fine. I mean, it's got the tea. Well, yeah,

411
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's fine. He you know, he did

412
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: a good job. I applaud him, yeah, for for talking

413
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: and and and saying what happened and given his take

414
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: on it and given some quotes and all that. I

415
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: applaud him for for standing there and doing it. It

416
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 1: is I mean, it's bizarre. Yeah, me neither. I can't

417
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 1: wait to get to the break. But y'all know, oh okay,

418
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: y'all know I'm watching the video over again, and uh,

419
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: I mean, if he can corral that ball, he has

420
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: at least an outside chance to score. Can you can

421
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: advance a block punt, can't you? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

422
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: it's got the Uh, it's just okay, this is what

423
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: avalanche of. This is what I hate about it. Like,

424
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 1: you know how big I am on stats. I'm a

425
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: stat geek and all that. First time in the history

426
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: of the NFL, there's a lot, a lot of the

427
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 1: things have happened in NFL games. Malik Turner, I want

428
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: to call him MALIEK. Cooker. Malik Turner would have been

429
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: the first player in the history of the NFL to

430
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: catch two touchdowns and block a punt in the game.

431
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: But the NFL rules, the stats are not calling it

432
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: a block punt. They just call it a two yard

433
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: punt and a muff by Nishan. Right. I just watched

434
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: it again. It hits him in the shoulder pad. That's

435
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: how different three or four inches can be. If he

436
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 1: gets his hands over here and blocks, it goes backwards,

437
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: they recover it. Maybe safety whatever, a safety probably would

438
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: have been better than a touchdow. Yeah. Actually, honestly, just

439
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: because the ball and that brives me. Somebody like Dwayne

440
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 1: Harris wouldn't have done that at Saint. That goes back

441
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: to how surprising all of this was, because I remember

442
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: you talking about that. You were like, oh, like a

443
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: safety could have done this. And then you score and

444
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: then or then you get the ball back and you

445
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: have a chance to get nine a little bit, and

446
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: then the refs are like Denver's keeping the ball, like

447
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: when that never happened, Like, God, I see nothing before,

448
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: just the worst afternoon ever. Yeah, And then there was

449
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: times in the press box that long catch that Teyvron

450
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: Diggs knocked it out, Treyvon Diggs, we need to talk

451
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: about him. We're gonna get to him. He's streaking in

452
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: the wrong directly. But but that play that then they've

453
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: written and reviewed it, they challenged it, and we're all

454
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: in said the same thing, like, it doesn't seem like

455
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: it would be a catch in a FuMB oh every day. Yeah,

456
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: probably every fiber of me thought that they were going

457
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 1: to give that the if you're the yeah, the contested

458

468
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: to this offense and talk about specifically what was happening

469

00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: I mean you're not violent. Uh okay, hold onto last

519
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: night in the press box after you had left, because

520
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 1: it was you know, it was really wow shot you

521
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 1: leave like about an hour and a half after. Yeah,

522
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: I'm not writing stories that. I actually surprised you stay

523
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 1: that long, honestly, honestly long because of the raff. Yeah, okay. Anyways,

524
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: we're talking about something and and the fraternity comes out,

525
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: remember somebody it's that or something that about I'm gonna

526
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: throw up the hooks and I said, no, don't, don't

527
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: do that. Me and Dave can can attest to that,

528
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 1: like you could get the appreciated. That's a little different.

529
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 1: That didn't have anything to do with regular like you.

530
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 1: Is that what it's called seeing him Rick Flair chop

531
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: him in the in the chest. It's true that that

532
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: he caught me by surprise. I wasn't expecting it. It It

533
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 1: was just kind of out of the blue. It was

534
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: actually my fault because he did the hooks the night before.

535
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: I took the picture of it and then I showed

536
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: you and then you hit him and you're like, what

537
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,360
Speaker 1: was that for it? And he was like laugh fair.

538
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: They was like, yeah, it's true. Is that to me? Once?

539
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: On my arm and it hurts. I did, what can

540
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: we can we get back that? Right? What are we

541
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: doing here? Like the cow devastated cowboys trying to make

542
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: sense of this loss? They were, well, the fine orange Okay,

543
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: I mean, we don't need to do this, but I

544
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: mean that's that's just the nature of this. By the way,

545
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen again in two weeks when I mean

546
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 1: through the two weeks was three weeks. Whenever they whenever

547
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: the Raiders come here, I guarantee you there's gonna be

548
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: a lot of black and silver in the building again.

549
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: Because you're talking about as you as you guys always

550
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: talk about when you're playing the AFC, you're playing in Division.

551
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,479
Speaker 1: You haven't played him at your house in eight years,

552
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 1: which means they're fans who were in town are going

553
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: to say, that's a destination game. That's an opportunity for

554
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: me to go to a game. Combination, a combination of

555
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 1: things too. It's not you gotta have. I mean, I

556
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 1: don't think the New York Jets are bringing a ton

557
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: of fans. It's a fan base, very loyal fan base,

558
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: and people say that like that they travel, well, I

559
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: don't think so. I think there's a ton of different

560
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 1: Ronco fans in the area. Although I will say this.

561
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 1: I will say this. I had to travel Sunday coming

562
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: back into Town Houston from Houston. When I was getting back,

563
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: I was taking a shuttle to my car and the

564
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 1: guy was driving a shuttle. He saw that I was

565
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: that I had on like I pult already put on

566
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: my credential and he was like, you're going to game dawn.

567
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 1: I was like yeah. He's like, man, I've seen a

568
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: ton of people coming from Denver. And that was early

569
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: in the morning. I took a seven o'clock flight ready.

570
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: He was like, I've seen a lot of people flying

571
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: in this weekend from Denver that we're coming in for

572
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: the game. And I was like, wow, that's pretty interesting.

573
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: I was. I thought it was like you, like a

574
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: lot of people just live here, but maybe they do

575
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: travel well. I love the well. Also, you got to

576
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: think about geography too. I don't know why we need

577
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 1: to get into the weeds on this. No, I think

578
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: this type of stuff fascinates me though. Look at a map,

579
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: Denver is the only NFL city anywhere near like six

580
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: different states. So like, if you live in Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, Nevada,

581
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: the western part of like Kansas, Netta, like the Idaho Montana.

582
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: Like there's just this huge geographic reason where it probably

583
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: makes sense to be a Broncos fan. They've been good.

584
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: By the way, they do have a large following. When

585
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: you look just around the league, who has what following

586
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 1: on digital, They've got a largest Dallas is a super

587
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: easy city to get to. It is a huge transplant city,

588
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 1: so I'm sure there are a lot of people living here.

589
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: But even if you don't, it costs like two hundred

590
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: dollars to fly here on Southwest, and it's at and

591
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: T Stadium. People want to see it. It's a popular

592
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 1: place to go. Oh and by the way, they kick

593
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: the crap out of the Cowboys. Like if the Cowboys

594
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: had done what we thought they were going to do,

595
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: all that orange would have been gone by the end

596
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: of the third and nobody would care. I mean it

597
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: turnabouts fair play, right, Like it's cool when the Cowboys

598
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: take over US Bank. Well, sometimes that's gonna happen when

599
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: you play a big fan base. He's like, you've got

600
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: these newer stadiums, just like for Cowboys fans that maybe

601
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: in the Minnesota area are close to it. It's an

602
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: opportunity to go see a new stadium, so you also

603
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: draw people out to go see their team in that stay.

604
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: There's a financial component too. It's really expensive to go

605
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: to NFL games. If you hold tickets to the Cowboys

606
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: and you think, like, man, I can make a lot

607
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: of my money back selling two or three of these.

608
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: Let me sell some Broncos tickets and get my costs back.

609
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: Feeling it's not gonna be that bad for the Raiders.

610
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: You don't, no, maybe not seeing it. Yeah, this is

611
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: like this is where this will be their third Thanksgiving

612
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: Day game at this stadium. That's rare. I mean yeah,

613
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Well, something weird happened. I don't

614
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: know why. With the Chiefs and the Raiders back right,

615
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: nine and thirteen. Yeah, they played, they played, they didn't

616
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: they did back to back. Yeah, they didn't flip. They

617
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: didn't flip. We played the Chiefs and O nine and

618
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: in thirteen on the road and played the Raiders at

619
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: nine and thirteen on both of them were Thanksgiving Day games.

620
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: So did you say this? Okay, go ahead. I think

621
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: it's stupid and sorry to put it that way, but

622
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: very I mean, and I get a fan noise and

623
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: all that, but at the end of the day, like

624
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: it's it bothers me when people use that all there

625
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: was a ton offense of the opposing team or whatever

626
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: taking over and all that. At the end of the day,

627
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: it's not the fans fault, like, and I get it.

628
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: It does mess with how you hear things and all that,

629
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: but when you're focused on there or whatever, you're trained

630
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: to do this kind of stuff. You know. I haven't

631
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: been able to go to a practice, but we've seen

632
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: it years after year how they practice and they make

633
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: it as loud as possible. You can hear the noise

634
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: through the windows. You don't even have to look outside,

635
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: you can just hear it. Yeah. Yeah, So I don't know,

636
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: it's just like just play better. You should have no absolutely,

637
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: And I don't think. I don't think any of this

638
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: is an excuse. It's more just kind of an anecdotal

639
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: funny thing. Well, I think I think it's more than that,

640
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: but that's fine. I do. I do think it plays

641
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: so psychologically with them as well. It's like being booed

642
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: at home, you know, because because then it represents of

643
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,239
Speaker 1: why this is happening. We're here at home in this

644
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: place and and we're we're getting, we're getting. You know,

645
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: this crowd is over shattering our crowds kind of like

646
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: you get home from a bad day and your family's

647
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: heckling you because you had a bad day, Like you're

648
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: you're playing it just it represents that you're you're really focused.

649
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: They weren't listening to that stuff. I've played soccer, I've

650
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: been on fields, I've done performances, and it's weird what

651
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: your brain does and stuff. But if you're really focused,

652
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: you don't hear anyone there is Tony Pollard, Amari Cooper,

653
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: uh Ceedee Lamb, Dalton Schultz. I mean, they all, they

654
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: all showed that they weren't focused at times. And then

655
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: and then dak had I mean they weren't focused. And

656
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: the difference of also, right, football is a little different

657
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: because you have these starts and stops. Right, if you're

658
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: on the offense, while you're on the field, you're probably right,

659
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: you're not noticing the crowd because you're into the game.

660
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: When you go sit out on the sideline and you're

661
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: sitting there, you're noticing everything, and it's probably even more

662
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: appearing to you, like is that are they saying, let's

663
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: go Broncos? Like what are we doing us? Good? Play

664
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: a better game and you won't like, No, one don't

665
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: care they were about to talk about I was about

666
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: to say, we can talk about something good, but I

667
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: don't think we're gonna do it if we're gonna talk

668
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: about the left tackle, because well, I was a bad day.

669
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: Real what could we talk about that pertains to the Cowboys?

670
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: That would be good? Right now? They they had I mean,

671
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: they drafted the right guy, they drafted, they did this guy. Well, well,

672
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: here's the part I think we gotta. I don't want

673
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: to overstate how he played because I do think some

674
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: of the stuff that I saw in the run game, particularly,

675
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: he wasn't great against the run yesterday. And by the way,

676
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: there were some moments where there were lots of people

677
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: having issues stopping the run and he was a part

678
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: of that. So I don't want to overstated it like

679
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: he had a phenomenal day. He did obviously show up

680
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: when he came to making tackles for lost. He had

681
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: the sacks to an hour of sacks, so yes, give

682
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:08,719
Speaker 1: him the credit for that, But I don't think he

683
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: had just a stellar day. This was not to be

684
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: fair to Nicholas. All I said was did anything good happen? Good? Okay? Yeah, yeah,

685
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: exactly all right. But at the same time, I mean,

686
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: how can you be phenomenal or have a stellar day

687
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: when everybody else around you is playing like crap? You know,

688
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: he can call the way, But at the same time,

689
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: I think that it does affect you, like and we've

690
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: talked about it, when everybody else's energy is up high

691
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: and playing well, it just it's uh contagious. So I

692
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: think that he did the best. Well I'm not gonna

693
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: see the best best, but you know, out of everything

694
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: that happened, he was the best one out there. And

695
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: that's and that is going to happen. You know, when

696
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: when your defensive tackles are a little bit suspect at times.

697
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: Any linebacker, I mean, ray lewis probably a garden center

698
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: got to that next level and got to him. It

699
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: pretty probably didn't win all of them and that and

700
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: a lot of that was on him. You got to

701
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: be able to fight fight that off. But I just

702
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: I love the way that I love the way he's playing,

703
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: and I think I think they've got something there now.

704
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: I think I think they've figured it out. He's not

705
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: a pass rusher. He's a linebacker that can rush the

706
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: passer um. I don't think he's an outside rusher or whatever.

707
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: I don't think they would. He is like this. He is.

708
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: This is exactly what I want him to be. A

709
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: linebacker who can cover sideline to sideline, isn't a total

710
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: liability in the passing game, and can get you one

711
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: to three sacks in a game in game eight, eight

712
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: or nine tackles for loss in a season is pretty

713
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: good for a linebacker. He's had seven and two games

714
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: since they took the green dot off of him and

715
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: let him go play and not call the place. He's

716
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: had four last week at three this game tackles for

717
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: as he's living back there, and that's not even counting

718
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: the sacks and PF which I know, I know it's PF.

719
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: But they credit him with twenty four pressures on the season,

720
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: which is most among rookies, tied with a guy who

721
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: plays defensive end. I think he's gonna win Rookie of

722
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: the Year. I do too. I don't think it's even

723
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: in question. I mean, I think and don't get me wrong.

724
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: I think he's having a phenomenal season, especially when you

725
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 1: put in the context that he's a rookie. I think

726
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: the amount of impact that he's having on this team

727
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 1: is extremely special for it off ball linebacker. Now, like

728
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: you don't see that like this is and I don't

729
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,280
Speaker 1: want to I don't want to say he's ray Lewis,

730
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: but that's the kind of thing you saw from a

731
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 1: guy like that. We had such an impact that most

732
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: middle linebackers just really don't have in a lot of

733
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 1: different facets of how they play defense. He's having that

734
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: kind of impact. I get that, but I think yesterday

735
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: and then goes back to what Day was saying, I

736
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 1: don't know that I can point out a single person

737
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 1: that I thought had a really stellar day. And in

738
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: a game like that, it's hard to have a stellar

739
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 1: day across the board because the team is performing so poorly,

740
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: and NFL football is a team sport. Yeah, right, a

741
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: league turner, I mean blocked a punt and he had

742
00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: two touchdowns there, And yeah, he didn't like we were

743
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: talking to him. I tried to say the word garbage time,

744
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: and he kind of cut me off in the middle

745
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: of the where it said like it wasn't garbage time

746
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,879
Speaker 1: for us, and I was like, I'm sorry, Yeah, I guess.

747
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: You know, it never is when you're the player on

748
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: your Yeah, it's not. Ye's that's what he's been waiting for.

749
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: And yeah he did a nice job. Yeah, and then

750
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 1: they made it respectable, I guess. But everyone knows that

751
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: was a thirty to nine. Yeah, it won't when you

752
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: go back and look at this season in years to come,

753
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: if you happen to look at the scores, you won't

754
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 1: look at that game and say it was as bad

755
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 1: as it actually was. But we all know that was

756
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: a That was a blowout. They got destroyed. I bristle

757
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 1: and have for I've fought with people for years about

758
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: whether or not Dak puts up stats in garbage time.

759
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 1: Leading a team back Atlanta Cleveland last year, starting the

760
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: comeback when the third quarter starts, and battling all through

761
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 1: the second half, that's not the same. This was garbage time. Yeah,

762
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 1: this was the last two possessions of the game. The

763
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: Broncos are trying to get the hell out of there.

764
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: He had one hundred and twenty of his two hundred

765
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: and thirty yards on the last Fantasy wise like he

766
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 1: ended up with like twenty four. He saved my point,

767
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 1: he saved my day. He saved like Yeah. No, he

768
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: wound up having a great and he had single digits,

769
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: which is stupid. By the way, that's exactly right. I

770
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: think they ought to have at They ought to have

771
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:14,959
Speaker 1: a number for quarterbacks for you to get some points,

772
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:16,479
Speaker 1: so you lose some points if you win or lose,

773
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,959
Speaker 1: like I think that matters too. But anyway, um, let's

774
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 1: talk about the tackle, um, Terence steele Man. It's for

775
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: the first time this year because we really haven't had

776
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 1: to talk about him negatively this season. Um, he didn't

777
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 1: have a great game. There were lots of moments where

778
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 1: he was getting beat and just wouldn't be able to

779
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: hold up at the point of attack. That all being said,

780
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: my question for you guys, do you think it was

781
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 1: a bad decision decision for them to push him to

782
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 1: left tackle rather than keep him on right and uh

783
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: and then you know, obviously they put Collins back at

784
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: the right tackle position, which is where he always was.

785
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: This would be a great opportunity to thump my chest

786
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: and say told you so, because that's what I wanted.

787
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: I wanted still to stay it right and Inseci and

788
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,879
Speaker 1: Collins to just fight it out at practice and see

789
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 1: who looked better by the end of the week. It

790
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: to a degree, it is hindsight, though, because again Lyle

791
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: Collins hasn't played left tackle since he was in college

792
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,879
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen. He's been in the NFL for seven years.

793
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: He's never done it, not even in practice or training camps.

794
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: So maybe maybe muscle memory is a degree of that.

795
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:18,919
Speaker 1: Maybe he's so used to playing it that he would

796
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:20,879
Speaker 1: have stepped in and been fine and played a lot better.

797
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 1: I can't say that for sure, and I can't I

798
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: can't say for sure that he wouldn't have struggled either,

799
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 1: But for some reason, I just trust a Lyle to

800
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: do that more than I trust a young guy who

801
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: hasn't played as many games, who's not as used to

802
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 1: the strength and speed of the NFL. And oh, by

803
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: the way, I do think that matters. Lyle played like

804
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: three seasons at LSU at left tackle, and probably in

805
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: high school as well. If I had to guess, and

806
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: I do that many years of doing it over and

807
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: over again, I feel like you don't lose it. He

808
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: even said when they moved him to guard at practice.

809
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: When he first came back, he was like, yeah, I

810
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: played on the left side of my whole life. It's

811
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: just it's ingrained in me. Um So I feel like

812
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: he I feel like he might have handled it better,

813
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: but there's no way to know. Well. First thing I

814
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: want to do is figure out what's going on with

815
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: it with Tyrn Smith, Like do you need surgery? Like

816
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: if he needs surgery, I would do it. I would

817
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: have done it yesterday. I mean, do clean out the

818
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: bones whatever it is. And yeah, you don't he is

819
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: needed down the stretch. You don't have to fight through

820
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 1: this thing. Yeah. Not lucky, but I mean they didn't

821
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: really lose much in the division. I mean, the Giants

822
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 1: won the Giants one, but but they they they jumped

823
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: in there. I mean, I mean that was that was

824
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: kind of because if Philadelphia would have beaten the Chargers, Yeah,

825
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: they're starting to kind of way more huge in my opinion,

826
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 1: so they're three and a half game lead. Not that,

827
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: but but I would I would get I'd figure that

828
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: out with the left tackle spot with him, but I

829
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:55,359
Speaker 1: would have moved um Lyle. I think Lyle should should

830
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 1: be should be moved over to the left tackle. I

831
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: mean Terrence Steele said it himself. I mean I asked

832
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: him about out and he said, I would say it

833
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,280
Speaker 1: was a little harder than I thought would be moving

834
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: to left. They have a good defense, good defensive ends,

835
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 1: and they were giving me a challenge, and they traded

836
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 1: von Miller. I mean, can you imagine what would have

837
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: happen there? Yeah? Yeah. Now, now he didn't play in

838
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: the Rams. I don't know what do you play, So

839
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: maybe he wouldn't have played either. Maybe I don't know,

840
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: but you know, he's been doing good on the right side.

841
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: Just probably so I'm watching the game, things start happening,

842
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, good. That's why you get because you you

843
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,879
Speaker 1: stand for you to show up. You stand up there

844
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 1: during press conferences and talk about how important content, continuity, continuing, continuity,

845
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 1: continuity is in the old line, and then you want

846
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,879
Speaker 1: to make that change. And and we we saw how

847
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: he was last year. We see a guy that's been

848
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: doing well this year. Why mess it up? Why talk

849
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 1: about keeping it consists in and not making as many

850
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: moves as you know you don't need that. You got

851
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 1: a guy like lel who's a veteran guy who has

852
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 1: the experience. Yes, everything that Dave said, absolutely, but at

853
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 1: the same time, I do trust Lyle to be better

854
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 1: at that spot. Then you having to have Lyle back

855
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: then move turn Steel to the other side. There's no

856
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: need for that, and if there is, then just say it.

857
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: Don't be talking about keeping it consistent during the whole

858
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: week and last week too. So when I watched it, yes,

859
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 1: it sucked for the Cowboys. Well, my good, that's why

860
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 1: you got You know. It's funny is we always talk about, well,

861
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: you know, just move moves Ac Martin out there, just

862
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 1: moves Ach Martin out to write tackle if you need to,

863
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: you know, but like no one says he hasn't done

864
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: that since college and all that. So and that's from

865
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: guard to tackle. So but yeah, because he's Ak Martin

866
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 1: and everyone thinks he's great and he could do it,

867
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 1: and he could he cast so that's why it's like, well,

868
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: if he can do that, then I think I think

869
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: Lyle could could move over to the left side. But

870
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 1: but if he's not willing to do that for whatever

871
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: the reason, then I think you need to open this

872
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,439
Speaker 1: up and maybe think maybe Tye and Secky's a better

873
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 1: option here. He might be he might be a better

874
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: option than Terrence Stealing. I just wonder now if, like,

875
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 1: are they kind of having these sort of panicky conversations

876
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: as well, or is it do you just stay the

877
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 1: course like you're only again kind of going back to

878
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 1: last year, like you're only gonna get better doing it more?

879
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 1: So I hope no, I hope they don't panic with

880
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: anything like. That's the kind of game where you can't

881
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: overdo it like you can. You can come out of

882
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: that game and start thinking, oh, do we need to

883
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: do this week? So that's what I'm saying. I mean,

884
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: I think this is a kind of game where you say, Okay,

885
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 1: let's all take a breath. Okay, we didn't play our

886
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: best football. There might be some tweaks you might need

887
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,320
Speaker 1: to make, But I wouldn't make any kind of major

888
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,760
Speaker 1: declarations coming out of that. I just thought of something too,

889
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 1: you know, And they know more about what the timetable

890
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,760
Speaker 1: is for Tyrann Smith. But let's say that they didn't

891
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: do that. Let's say that they kept Steal on the

892
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: right side and they put lyel over there on the

893
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: left side, and what Tyrn comes back next week two

894
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: weeks we don't know then what are you doing? Now?

895
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:04,879
Speaker 1: You gotta make the same decision again. Now are you down?

896
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: Terrence Steele's played seven great games on the right side,

897
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,879
Speaker 1: Now you're moving him over there. Like maybe they looked

898
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: at this, like we know Tyrant's coming back in a

899
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,879
Speaker 1: couple and Lyle's going to be our right tackle. Let's

900
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: get him in here and now now Terrence still will

901
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 1: be the swing tackle. This may be open. Maybe it

902
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 1: means that Tyrn Smith's not too far down the road here, right,

903
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 1: And let's just McCarthy said he doesn't see it as

904
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 1: a long term issue. Called McCarthy lies to us all

905
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,359
Speaker 1: the time, But I gotta I can only go off

906
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 1: of what he says, and I haven't heard anything privately

907
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 1: that contradicts that, And so I don't know if that

908
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: means he plays against Atlanta, But I would imagine the

909
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:41,879
Speaker 1: team doesn't think he's Like people know what you mean

910
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: when you say that, Like would you say that about McCarthy,

911
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: But that he lies to us, he's playing the game

912
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: that they can't play. If you follow the NFL closely

913
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: enough to be listening to our podcast, you know that

914
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: coaches lie about and they should. I don't. I get it.

915
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't expect him to. That's what I'm saying.

916
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,359
Speaker 1: And I hope because there's something, there's more to it

917
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:05,280
Speaker 1: than just like I just I do. I will say Garrett,

918
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 1: Garrett just kind of hit everything behind this vague cloud

919
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: and a smile. Fair McCarthy's a little McCarthy's a little

920
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: more willing to just directly tell you something. That's the

921
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,439
Speaker 1: opt I don't want to tell you that case. Yeah,

922
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 1: And that's again, I don't blame him, I get it right,

923
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't trust what he says as

924
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: much as I might trust somebody else. But that's okay. Yeah.

925
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 1: I think the thing also to consider here that we

926
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 1: haven't really discussed is the fact that Terrence still is

927
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 1: supposed to be your swing tackle. So if he's supposed

928
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: to be your swing tackle, that means he should be

929
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 1: able to pop between the two. That doesn't mean he's

930
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 1: gonna do it well, but that doesn't mean that's the role.

931
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 1: That's what they think he is is a swing tackle

932
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,800
Speaker 1: for them, and so maybe what we're finding out is

933
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:51,839
Speaker 1: he's a pretty good right tackle and that's it. It's

934
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: a period after that there is no. Maybe he's not

935
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:56,399
Speaker 1: a swing tackle. Maybe he's just a pretty good right tackle.

936
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 1: They haven't had to deal with this yet, but if

937
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 1: Tyron does come back, they might have to look at

938
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: this and go, we might need to keep four tackles active. Yeah,

939
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 1: you know that's something. You know, maybe a right side guy.

940
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: Maybe he and Lyle they're just right tackles, and maybe

941
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: Zeki's your best left tackle if times out. That's not

942
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 1: ideal at all. But then also that's where Lyle's versatility

943
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 1: to play some guard could help true as well. I

944
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 1: just want to say, and all of this is warranted,

945
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: it's easy to beat up on the tackles because that's

946
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,879
Speaker 1: where it did. They did the shuffling. The whole line

947
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 1: kind of got bullied. I don't remember. I'd have to

948
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,399
Speaker 1: go back. Was running for his life a lot. Zack

949
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: Martin got They got the better of him at least twice.

950
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: I just remember a couple plays where they ran like

951
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 1: a game and Zach is kind of catching up to

952
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 1: get back in front of the guy. And if you

953
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 1: remember that's I was like, well, Dak's calf is fine

954
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: because he's had to bail and loop out of the

955
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 1: pocket at least three times all throughout that game. He

956
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 1: especially in the second half, and again like that they

957
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 1: were coming. I mean, he just was a beating across

958
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 1: across the depth chart. Name your spot they got. I

959
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: didn't whip see any limping. He looked pretty normal from

960
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:08,800
Speaker 1: that standpoint. The passes were off, though it looks like

961
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: a break when we come back. I do want to

962
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: talk a little bit more about that, because I do wonder,

963
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: and this is one of the questions that I mean,

964
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: my wife were talking about last night as we were

965
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,399
Speaker 1: talking about this game, is how much did the fact

966
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 1: that not only was Dad coming back after being off

967
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:22,919
Speaker 1: a few weeks, most of the receivers were hurt last week,

968
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: so he didn't get a lot of practice time with them.

969
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 1: How much did that affect the Cowboys ability to be

970
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:31,360
Speaker 1: on last night, which they weren't on. I wonder how

971
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 1: much that had played into that. We'll talk about that

972
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:35,120

00:47:57,640 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 1: We're talking about the beat down. Cowboys lose thirty six.

1016
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:04,880
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott yesterday was nineteen to thirty ninety nine percent

1017
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 1: completion rate not good at all. Two hundred and thirty

1018
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 1: two yards, two touchdowns, one interception. My question for you

1019
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 1: guys is how much do you think that Dak being

1020
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:17,839
Speaker 1: out for as long as he was, plus the fact

1021
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 1: that last week when he's coming back and able to

1022
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,839
Speaker 1: practice fully, he doesn't have most of his receivers because

1023
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 1: they were also injured. And I think CD may have

1024
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 1: practiced Saturday, but most of the week they were not practicing.

1025
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 1: How much do you think all of that combined was

1026
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 1: what we saw yesterday that they just went on you know,

1027
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: you have one guy that's out of practice, you kind

1028
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:38,799
Speaker 1: of can they can jump back in and just kind

1029
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 1: of pick up where they left off. We have that

1030
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:42,800
Speaker 1: much changed. See how much do you think that that

1031
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:44,799
Speaker 1: was factor? I'm sure it did. And also you throw

1032
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 1: in the factor that the timing was was was messed

1033
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 1: up with. You know, there was a lot more pressure

1034
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:51,400
Speaker 1: than we've seen before obviously with tyring now, so I

1035
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:53,760
Speaker 1: think you factor all of that in. It just looked

1036
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:56,320
Speaker 1: like they were out of sync and they were the

1037
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 1: whole game. They just couldn't ever get on track. Nobody

1038
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:01,439
Speaker 1: was getting on track at the same time. When Dac

1039
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 1: was hitting his guys, they were dropping it when they

1040
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 1: were open. He was missing throws he normally doesn't miss.

1041
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,400
Speaker 1: It just wasn't just all together. They just were not

1042
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:12,720
Speaker 1: on the same page. And Dad made sure in those quotes.

1043
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: He made sure to mention that a couple of times,

1044
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: which I don't blame him for that. He was like,

1045
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 1: he said, I wasn't hitting some throws. We weren't passing

1046
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 1: and catching like we normally do. It was and it

1047
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 1: was all of it. It was all of it, was all.

1048
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:26,439
Speaker 1: It wasn't just him, It was the other guy. There's

1049
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 1: more than enough blame to go around. It's the same

1050
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:31,880
Speaker 1: thing I said about not playing with an edge like

1051
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 1: a football. Players don't just want to be like, yeah,

1052
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:39,320
Speaker 1: we were off, They're gonna they're gonna go back and

1053
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 1: forth and kind of talk out the side of their

1054
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,399
Speaker 1: mouth and then eventually they'll say it and same CD.

1055
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 1: He was just like it was weird, man, I don't know,

1056
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened. But then he then he

1057
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:51,439
Speaker 1: gets more into it and he says, timing is everything,

1058
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:53,799
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. And throughout the week we didn't

1059
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 1: that we didn't get I do feel like that played

1060
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 1: a part in it slightly. Then he goes on to say,

1061
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, we're out here

1062
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 1: doing what we love. We still have timing. We just

1063
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 1: wear in a groove today, which and that's yes, obviously

1064
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 1: that's part of it. It's also the epitome of excuse making.

1065
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 1: I mean, we can't sit here and glow about the

1066
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 1: dack yard and how many reps these guys have taken

1067
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,439
Speaker 1: and how seriously they take it. And then I'm just like, whoa,

1068
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 1: they didn't get a week of practice, no wonder they sucks,

1069
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: Like no, yeah, But I do think there's something to

1070
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 1: that from the standpoint that. Of course, we talk about

1071
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 1: it all the time when teams are rolling and then

1072
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 1: they get a bye and then they come back and

1073
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 1: you're like, how much will just that week of not

1074
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,399
Speaker 1: being in the normal, of course and what they're doing

1075
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 1: of course them, you know, to quote Mike Tomlin, we

1076
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:45,399
Speaker 1: do not care. Absolutely, we could. They shouldn't care about Well,

1077
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:48,919
Speaker 1: I don't care either. Okay, it's it's an excuse. Be better,

1078
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,799
Speaker 1: you're the you're the CD lamb. How did the league

1079
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:55,319
Speaker 1: let him fall to seventeen Dak Prescott fourty million dollar player?

1080
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:58,399
Speaker 1: Like you still like, yes, there are reasons why these

1081
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 1: things happen. I don't care. Play better. Yeah, that's what

1082
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 1: it comes down to, right, But I think the point

1083
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 1: here is, and what we're trying to figure out is

1084
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: that is that what it is? I mean, is there

1085
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 1: is there a reason for it. It's not an excuse.

1086
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,360
Speaker 1: It's just like, Okay, there's a lot of things that

1087
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 1: are happening here. Is this going to be a trend

1088
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:20,399
Speaker 1: towards Atlanta the Raiders? But and that's and that's when

1089
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 1: you say big picture, that's having we're getting into the

1090
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:25,359
Speaker 1: weeds on everything that went wrong. But that's why I'm

1091
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 1: still I'm not overly concerned, because no, I don't. I

1092
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 1: don't think these are trends. We've got how what was

1093
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:34,280
Speaker 1: that the eighth game? We've got seven games of evidence

1094
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 1: that suggests that that's not the case. So we have

1095
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 1: not right now, this is the operation, right now right,

1096
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 1: But that's what he's trying to do. Like, I think

1097
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 1: you're talking about the both sides of your mouth. You're

1098
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,320
Speaker 1: not even you're not meaning to, but you're like, but

1099
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:47,839
Speaker 1: what we're trying to figure out is this, and you're

1100
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 1: not even worried. You're the one that says you're not

1101
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:52,359
Speaker 1: worried about this because you think something's happened this week

1102
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 1: or something happened that is not the normal Cowboys. And

1103
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 1: that's what we're trying to figure out. Is it? Was

1104
00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 1: it practice? Was it sink? Was it dac out three weeks?

1105
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 1: Was it you know what I mean? Was it a

1106
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:03,839
Speaker 1: little bit of every course? No? And I mean that's

1107
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 1: what you do in these shows, you recap what happened.

1108
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 1: And I absolutely think that not having the practice time

1109
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 1: Dak misses three weeks, only gets to practice two days,

1110
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 1: doesn't have his preferred receivers, and Mari's limited CD hurts

1111
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:20,439
Speaker 1: his ankle in practice, all that plays into it. Yeah.

1112
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 1: I do think that's why I just, number one, I

1113
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:27,880
Speaker 1: don't care, and number two, there's enough evidence from the

1114
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:30,760
Speaker 1: rest of the season that I just I don't worry

1115
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 1: that it's a trend. Yeah, I think I think everyone's

1116
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 1: hoping that there's something, you know, there's something that's not normal,

1117
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 1: and it's almost you're right, it's kind of hoping. It's

1118
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:41,719
Speaker 1: like whatever we've seen, we're hoping that this week was

1119
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 1: just different because of this or this or this. But

1120
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 1: that's not gonna what's gonna be what normally happens. But

1121
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 1: I do sorry, go ahead, I was there's evidence in

1122
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:52,799
Speaker 1: an all great football team, super Bowl winning teams from

1123
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:55,839
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys on with other teams. There's always I'll

1124
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 1: never forget that ninety four forty nine Ers team that

1125
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 1: was really good that when Dion was on and all

1126
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:03,239
Speaker 1: that they won him. They lost forty to eight to

1127
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 1: the Eagles like a week four and the Eagles were

1128
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:07,400
Speaker 1: like five win team. I mean, sometimes it just happened.

1129
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 1: Happened just you just put up a stinkers. The Packers

1130
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:14,320
Speaker 1: got like completely destroyed at the beginning of this season

1131
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 1: against New Orleans and we were all thinking, well, maybe

1132
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 1: no one's gonna be great. Saints figure them out, alright.

1133
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:23,240
Speaker 1: I could probably go get that Rubik's cube off Kevin's

1134
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 1: desk over there and figure that out before I figured

1135
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:29,280
Speaker 1: out the Saints. That crazy, my wonderful producer, our wonderful producer,

1136
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,560
Speaker 1: Caden Gates. We're gonna use this, Okay. Well, he produces

1137
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 1: most of the stuff I do. That's why, as he

1138
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:37,880
Speaker 1: produces everybody else's stuff too. He's whatever. He's a man

1139
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 1: of the people's The thirteen Seahawks and the nineteen Chiefs

1140
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 1: are pretty much the only Super Bowl winners in modern

1141
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:49,879
Speaker 1: memory who didn't get their asses absolutely kicked at least once. Yes,

1142
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 1: Buccaneers lost thirty eight to three to the Saints last year.

1143
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:56,759
Speaker 1: Patriots in eighteen lost twenty six to ten to the

1144
00:53:56,880 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. Seventeen Eagles lost twenty four end to the Seahawks.

1145
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 1: Sixteen Pats got shut out by the Bills. It goes

1146
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 1: on and on and on, and that's I guess, And

1147
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:09,319
Speaker 1: you're right, I guess. I was kind of talking out

1148
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 1: of the side of my mouth a little bit. But

1149
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:13,879
Speaker 1: you get on this role, you win six straight games,

1150
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,919
Speaker 1: everything's beautiful and this is going to happen all the time,

1151
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:19,080
Speaker 1: and then you have a bad day and everybody's like,

1152
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:22,600
Speaker 1: see their frauds. I told you, And I think it's

1153
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 1: really just a defense mechanism because you don't want to

1154
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 1: get hurt. Yeah, but guess what you signed up for

1155
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:30,920
Speaker 1: this ride. You're on it now. Man, we're going That's

1156
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:33,600
Speaker 1: exactly My best friend hit me yesterday. He was like, man, see,

1157
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 1: this is what I was fearing. I'm like, well, let's

1158
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 1: just slow down a bit. It was like, this is

1159
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 1: one game, and I don't think it necessarily necessarily right

1160
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 1: now is an indication of what they're going to be

1161
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 1: the rest of the season or what they've been at

1162
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:46,120
Speaker 1: this point. They had a bad day, it happens in

1163
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 1: the NFL, right it's just the Falcons that will not

1164
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:52,400
Speaker 1: be sninking up on anybody this game. And that's that's

1165
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:54,319
Speaker 1: the thing. I mean, they won, they won a game.

1166
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:57,760
Speaker 1: They're playing okay, and you know they've got a quarterback

1167
00:54:57,800 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 1: that's won an MVP in the past. And I don't

1168
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 1: know who they're receivers are, but I'm just saying they're, um.

1169
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn will make sure that things are ready to

1170
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 1: go meantime you get fired by somebody like got also,

1171
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:11,480
Speaker 1: which I agree that everything you just said, but that's

1172
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 1: It's something I've been talking about with fans too, is

1173
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 1: the idea that this is a trap game, And I say,

1174
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,080
Speaker 1: I don't believe in that at all in the NFL.

1175
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a thing. And somebody just tweeted

1176
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 1: at me or like you, and that's what I was

1177
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 1: getting into is somebody was like, well, you just defined

1178
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 1: a trap game because the Cowboys didn't come with the

1179
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 1: necessary energy. I don't think that's the same thing. A

1180
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 1: trap game in college is like LSU sees Alabama on

1181
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:40,759
Speaker 1: the horizon and they're so much more talented than Mississippi

1182
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 1: State or whoever. Usually probably just came off a big game.

1183
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 1: So you got this one sandwich game between it's like

1184
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:47,480
Speaker 1: and the thing and what makes it a trap game

1185
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:50,560
Speaker 1: is in college you have the talent to win a

1186
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 1: game like that. Where Oklahoma did it to Kansas a

1187
00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:56,359
Speaker 1: few weeks ago. If you follow college football, God, they

1188
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:59,319
Speaker 1: played awful and Kansas had a lead. I think they

1189
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 1: were up, remember they were up in the second half,

1190
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 1: and OU was just like, oh yeah, we've been at

1191
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:06,399
Speaker 1: the top of the recruiting rankings for a decade. We're

1192
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 1: just gonna pull ourselves together and we're gonna win the

1193
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 1: double digits. We just are. When I say trap games

1194
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 1: don't exist in the NFL, my point is even among

1195
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 1: the unless it's a rare example of like the very

1196
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 1: best team in the very worst. The talent levels just

1197
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:24,800
Speaker 1: not that far apart, and so if you don't bring it,

1198
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 1: you can lose to anybody. And that's I think Nick's

1199
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:29,879
Speaker 1: exactly right. The Falcons aren't sneaking up on this team.

1200
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 1: The Falcons can still win that game. But what I

1201
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:35,759
Speaker 1: am confident of is that the Cowboys won't just play

1202
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:39,399
Speaker 1: that ridiculously poorly. But but not a guarantee of a win.

1203
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 1: But I do think maybe they weren't looking at something else.

1204
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:44,359
Speaker 1: But I think the trap in this case, I think

1205
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 1: it was this one. The Broncos game was a trap

1206
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 1: game from the standpoint of kind of what we had

1207
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:52,440
Speaker 1: said before about they were winning these games. They won

1208
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:54,960
Speaker 1: with Cooper Russia on the road again against the Vikings,

1209
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:57,920
Speaker 1: they pulled out this game somehow. Against the Patriots. They

1210
00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:01,279
Speaker 1: were winning the six eight weeks in a row now

1211
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 1: without without a loss, and you're and you just feel

1212
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 1: like kind of invincible, and surely with that coming back

1213
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:10,480
Speaker 1: at home, kind of roll this team. You're opening kickoff

1214
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:13,919
Speaker 1: fifty yards, watch this see this is what we thought? Yeah,

1215
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:16,360
Speaker 1: they all we thought they were. I absolutely think that

1216
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 1: was the case. And maybe I'm just quibbling. I just

1217
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 1: when you say it's a trap, like this could have

1218
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 1: happened against any team, Like it's not because it was

1219
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 1: the Broncos or anything. You just if you just if

1220
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 1: you don't come ready, this will. I mean the Jags

1221
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:35,919
Speaker 1: beat the Bills yesterday. I mean that happens is unbelievable.

1222
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 1: That's wild. Yeah, that offense, the Bills offense, which I

1223
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 1: think is up there with the best offense. I didn't

1224
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:44,080
Speaker 1: watch that game, but I bet you it was something

1225
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:46,760
Speaker 1: similar in the Bills. I think they lost going into

1226
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:48,440
Speaker 1: their by and they're like, all right, we're gonna this

1227
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 1: is We're gonna get right here today. Let's just bomb

1228
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:54,200
Speaker 1: this thing away and we'll all be cracking beers by

1229
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 1: the end of the third quarter. And that's just not

1230
00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:58,400
Speaker 1: the attitude you can have ever in the n And

1231
00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 1: what was so interesting is that after the game, McCarthy said,

1232
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 1: we talked a lot this week about not eating the cheese,

1233
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 1: and there they were like, it's just they have been

1234
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 1: talking about this, they have been talking about this, and

1235
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 1: really he'd been trying to coach them to not buy

1236
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:13,919
Speaker 1: into the idea that you're as great as everybody says

1237
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 1: you are but natural, just natural who we are as people.

1238
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 1: This kind of thing happens. It's why after a game

1239
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:23,440
Speaker 1: like that, we get to see was this an aberration?

1240
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 1: Because if it is, look out, Atlanta Falcons, you're probably

1241
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:29,600
Speaker 1: gonna take a nice spank in this weekend. If it's

1242
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 1: not though. If it's not though, and they still think,

1243
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:35,320
Speaker 1: if they think too much, that was an aberration and

1244
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 1: they think we'll do we'll kill them, then here we

1245
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 1: go and now you start taking that slide and then

1246
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 1: it becomes a situation. Can you figure out how to

1247
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 1: foop that switch? You just got my homes coming up? Yeah, right,

1248
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 1: all right, we appreciate you guys joining us. We'll be
