Speaker 1: thousand and eighteen season. First full week of two thousand nineteen,

00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: and it's always a good thing when your NFL season

9
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: extends into the new year. It's actually a Tuesday out

10
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: here at the Star because it's another Saturday night game

11
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: this week at the Los Angeles Rams. What a night

12
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: it was on Saturday. And happy you could join us

13
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: here on a Monday morning, a spring like Monday morning

14
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: in the Metroplex. It feels like March madness outside with

15
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: the humidity in sixty five degrees. Hello, Brian brought us.

16
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: How are you doing well? Thanks? Bill? Good to be

17
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: fighting for another week. Yes, how about you? Rob Phillips,

18
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: how are you doing great? Yesterday turned out to be

19
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: a Monday at seven o'clock with a missfield goal by

20
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,839
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears. All of a sudden, Hey, coach Garrett

21
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: conference call, it's like a Monday. So here we go.

22
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: It's like a Tuesday. Now here we are. Yes, the

23
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: week is just motoring along in the season, motors along, Mickey,

24
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 1: another week of talking Cowboys. That's right. A full week,

25
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 1: full week. And wow, what a game on Saturday night,

26
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: And what a defensive performance by the Cowboys against the

27
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks run defense. The story of that game, no

28
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: no question about it. You had a bunch of guys

29
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: playing square up front, and that's what you have to do.

30
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: You don't get these guys any gaps or creases to

31
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: let him run the football. But I thought the tackle

32
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: play was excellent. You know, we talked coming into the game.

33
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: We kind of thought about that the Seahawks were having

34
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: some problems with their with their interior, their offensive line,

35
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: and you know they had Dj Fluker starting back after

36
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: the hamstring. Sweezy was a little nicked up himself, but

37
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: that didn't matter. Those guys inside Woods and Malie Collins, Crawford,

38
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: all those guys, and they got an opportunity to play

39
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: against this bunch in the front and then stop the run.

40
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: It was exceptional. Give the linebackers a lot of credit

41
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: for filling the run fits and stuff. When you play

42
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: good run defense, you got to play square and that's

43
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: what they did a great job of doing last last

44
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: time out. You know, Chris Carson came into the game

45
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: the NFC Offensive Player of the Month and he had

46
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: rushed for more than five hundred yards over the month,

47
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: thirteen for twenty. Yeah, thirteen for twenty and they were

48
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: twenty four for seventy three, but they had a twenty

49
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: eight yard on so that means it was twenty three

50
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: for forty five. They leaked the one to Penny. Other

51
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: than that, they shut down their their running game. And

52
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: I I and it's a it's a darn good thing

53
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: because the opportunities they had in the passing game to

54
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: hit big plays, uh, they hit. But if they had

55
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: the running game going to the Cowboys likely would have

56
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: been in trouble. They had nine yards in the first quarter.

57
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: Seattle did nine And to Mickey's point, I thought they

58
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: were Seattle was a little stubborn with the run game.

59
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: To be honest, what do you think they're talking about

60
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: on talking Seahawks this morning? I should have been throwing

61
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: the ball. Well, but that's what they do exactly that well,

62
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: that's that's that's that's how they got here exactly. Yeah,

63
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: you can't. I mean, I know what you're gonna say,

64
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: and they and they use playoffs, play action off of it. Sure, sure,

65
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: but they had some success hitting some pass plays deep

66
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: at some point when you've got I think they had

67
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: three straight three announced to open the game. At point

68
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: you get behind, and I know you don't want to panic,

69
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: but I was surprised that they stayed conservative way. I

70
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: know they run the ball away do but you do

71
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: have a Hall of Fame caliber quarterback there, and in

72
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: a way, I thought it did the Cowboys a favor.

73
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: But you got to give them credit. They didn't get

74
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: enough credit for stopping the run in the first game.

75
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: They did a nice job against Carson in the first game. Yeah,

76
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: it was a big pass play locket that kind of

77
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: opened things up, and they made some mistakes offensively. They

78
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: didn't make those mistakes this time. But it's like Carroll decided,

79
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: especially after the rebuild job they were doing on their

80
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: team coming into this season, that they needed to run

81
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: the football, run the football, run the football, and the

82
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: game never got away from him, and the Cowboys finally

83
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter got up ten on them, and

84
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: so they were It was playing out like he probably

85
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: envisioned it, would you know, even though they weren't having

86
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: success running the ball, he wanted them to continue to

87
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: be persistent with it. Well, if you think about it,

88
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: that's you know, that game against the Cowboys when they

89
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: kind of changed their philosophy we're gonna run the football.

90
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: They ran it thirty nine times and only ran it

91
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,799
Speaker 1: for one hundred and eighteen yards, But they were persistent,

92
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: and if you think about it, they only scored two

93
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: fewer points than they did the first time around. Now,

94
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: the key thing was, and you know, they had six

95
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: plays in the pass game for one hundred and ninety

96
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: four yards. Six one hundred ninety four yards. They had

97
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: two ninety nine in the game. That meant the other

98
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: forty six plays went for one hundred and five. So

99
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: they hit the big plays. They scored. But the difference

100
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: was the Cowboys didn't give them anything like they did

101
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: the first time around. The Cowboys didn't beat themselves like

102
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: they did the first time around. Zeke didn't catch a

103
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: pass and go thirty yards for a touchdown, but step

104
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: out of bounds before he caught the pass. This time around,

105
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: he ran for one hundred and thirty seven. And I'll

106
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: tell you what, he had his big boy jersey and

107
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: pants on in that game. Yeah, you'll need him again

108
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: this week. Absolutely. Yeah. It's the thing with it. You know,

109
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: to beat the Seahawks, they did exactly what they had

110
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: to do. You know, they make you s right, don't

111
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: beat yourself, and then you know, beat yourself. The Seahawks

112
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: is giving them turnovers. You know, they were plus fifteen

113
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: going into this game and then to only get one,

114
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: I think is pretty remarkable. From the Cowboys perspective. You know,

115
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: once again, this team is gonna this team, the Cowboys,

116
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: to me, is going to continue to ride or die

117
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: with their defense. That's you know, that's just what they are.

118
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: And we were talking about the Seahawks and that's how

119
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: they got here by running the football. Well, the Cowboys

120
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: really got here by playing great defense and that's what

121
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: they've been able to do. And you know, to to

122
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: limit the Seahawks the way they were, yeah, yeah, they

123
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: give up some big pass plays, but you knew going

124
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: into the game that that that's the possibility With Russell

125
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: Wilson and these receivers. I mean, that fourth, the fourth

126
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: and sixth play. You can't throw the ball any better

127
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 1: than what heat threw it to get it to convert

128
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: that fourth down. That was just a beautiful pass. And yeah,

129
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: there might have been holding on the play, you know,

130
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: but these officials, Wald Anderson, his crew, they were not

131
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: gonna let it. They were gonna let him play it out.

132
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: And he just threw a beautifu ball and then's and

133
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: that's what you gotta have. I mean, and they you know.

134
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: But for the most part, I thought the Cowboys held

135
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: him held up very very well defensively, and it allowed

136
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: them to kind of gain some traction offensively in the

137
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: second half. No one thing Jason Garrett talked about too

138
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: different from the first game is and multiple guys said this,

139
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: guys and coaches, they were a little more aggressive in

140
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: rushing Russell Wilson than that first game. You know, you

141
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: focus so much on being disciplined and you know, keep

142
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: him in the well and all that, but if you're

143
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: not aggressive enough, that gives him opportunities to do what

144
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: he wants to do. So I thought they did a

145
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: better job of just getting up field and getting after

146
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: him and instead of worrying a little bit at Rod

147
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: Marinelli said it during the week. If you slow down,

148
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: then you get yourself in trouble. You gotta get after him.

149
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: And they did a better job of it. The front

150
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: seven was outstanding, and we're seeing this linebackers continue to

151
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: float to the ball. The overall team speed on defense.

152
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: It makes us a dangerous team going forward. We'll see

153
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: what happens Saturday. But they're dangerous. You know. One of

154
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: the things that I noticed, and they can go back

155
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: and count it up, but when they were like blitzing, yea,

156
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: the linebackers, vander Esh was blitzing off the left side.

157
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: So if if they pushed him in the middle, right,

158
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: where does he go? He rolls to his right right

159
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, oh here comes fifty five.

160
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: On that one third down play which he ended up

161
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: throwing high on the outpass, vander Esh is right in

162
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: his face uh and and so yeah, it was it

163
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: was a good way to keep him uh in the pocket.

164
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: They did a better job of that. But we talk

165
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: about the defense. They did score twenty four points right right,

166
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong, but that was the most

167
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: anybody scored this weekend, right, Yeah, how about that? So

168
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: much for video game offense? Right, yeah, well you got

169
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: some video game offense, yes, play in this coming week though,

170
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: we'll see. There's I mean, there's a reason those uh,

171
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: those video game offenses got first round buys. Yeah, yeah,

172
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: in both conferences. But we saw both those offenses. You know,

173
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: those poet totals dropped a little bit in December, you know,

174
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure, and so we'll see what happens.

175
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: But weren't any fifty four fifty one games in December,

176
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: but you're right, Kansas City Saints Rams, they were all

177
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: off Patriots too. We'll see what happens, yep um. All right, So,

178
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: as yesterday played out, obviously the preference for the Cowboys

179
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 1: would be for the Eagles to win that game because

180
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: its the opportunity if things fall in place this week,

181
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: the Cowboys win and an Eagles win, you can host

182
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 1: an NFC championship game. That's true, hope next week. But wow,

183
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: wasn't it something the way that thing played out at

184
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: the end. Well, and I'll tell you what though. To me,

185
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: I don't know about you guys, and I think we all,

186
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: I think everybody here picked Philadelphia to win. I think

187
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: we did that. Yeah, we all said Philadelphia. I picked

188
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: the Bears to be different. Okay, well, the thing is

189
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: that the Bears are. The Bears are a year away

190
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 1: in my opinion, especially with that quarterback. Playoff experience matters,

191
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 1: it really does. You look at what you know the

192
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: really all all game long, Philadelphia was kind of struggle along.

193
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: But what happened. They had to have a drive. Who

194
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: did they have to go to? You know, they went

195
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: They leaned on their quarterback. At the end, he made

196
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: a play on a guy that they traded for, you know,

197
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: much like that of the Cowboys. But what do they do?

198
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: They drafted a kid, they threw the battle a tight end.

199
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: They got another tight end. That's tremendous. You know, those

200
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: guys there's a reason why that. The you know, when

201
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: you get in the playoffs, you have to lean on

202
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: guys like that, and they were able to do that.

203
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: You know, I mean, I just didn't feel like that

204
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: the Bears could sustain enough, you know, they just I

205
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: didn't feel like that they were gonna go and and

206
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: finish this thing off. Their defense was supposed to be

207
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: the reason why, and their defense actually gave it up

208
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: at the end, falls gets the ball with four minutes.

209
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: You're kind of like, oh, yeah, they've they've been in

210
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: this situation. He's been in the situation. Yeah. Well, and

211
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: then they get it down to a fourth down play

212
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: and help out with a minute left, and Doug Peterson's

213
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: got three time outs left, right, Okay, they's got them

214
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: back down facing fourth and goal at the two yard line.

215
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: If you don't make it, you're gonna get the football

216
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: back if you hold him right, because you got the

217
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: three timeouts in your hip pocket, right, And he used

218
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: one and he uses one. Yeah, and I was shouting

219
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: at the TV, go on, how can you game's over?

220
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: He's putting everything on that fourth down play. Yeah, but

221
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: he wanted to make sure he had the right playing Yes,

222
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: but he you know, we've always you know, when you

223
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: talk about coaching and stuff like that, there's game management questions.

224
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,599
Speaker 1: He felt like the point in time he needed to

225
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 1: win the game. I mean that's yeah, he's thinking I

226
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: might not you know, even even if I get but

227
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: he took any Yeah, he took any chance he had

228
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: out of that. But yeah, I I I I'm okay,

229
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,599
Speaker 1: get the right play. Well, but get the right play. Yeah, no,

230
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: I mean it did. But but but get the right

231
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: play that I mean. I And it's funny because I

232
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: was watching the game with my folks and I said,

233
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: whatever his best two point play is, he needs to

234
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: run it, and then and then here's the question. Then

235
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: and then who was doing the announcing Collinsworth goes whatever

236
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: his best two point play and my dad looked at

237
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: me like, you know, I'm like, yeah, that's what you

238
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: gotta do. I mean, whatever your best two point play is,

239
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: you gotta work right here. Why they getting a good

240
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: two point yeah, I mean, why would you use your

241
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 1: best two point play on on any one of the

242
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: three previous plays? Yeah? Well you know what a game

243
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: credit though? They tried to run. They tried you know,

244
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: the middle two. Yeah, you say, okay, let's try. I

245
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: mean you're thinking all the game long that they're having

246
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: to throw the football. I mean, justless the game of

247
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: the radio was driving home and James Lofton's like, you

248
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: gotta they can't run, you gotta throw, you gotta throw

249
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: the ball. You just gotta keep throwing it. And you

250
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: know they did. They threw it. That's what's funny about

251
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: it is Doug Peterson, you know, last year, gets all

252
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 1: the credit for all the inventive plays and two point

253
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: plays and stuff like that. And so the Bears are

254
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 1: sitting there. They've stopped him three straight times and all

255
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: they did had to do is stop him one more

256
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: time on a two point conversion. Basically, it's what it

257
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: came down to. Yeah, I guess they used up the

258
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: Philly Special already, kind of out of ideas, I don't know,

259
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: but but I mean trying to run it. I mean,

260
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: maybe that's you don't want to turn over in that situation.

261
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: That's the last thing you want, so maybe that's what

262
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: you try to do first. And then you know, the

263
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: guy leaks out in the back of the end zone

264
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: right at the end. Is a good playing. But having

265
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: said that, don't let the playoff game come down to

266
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: a kicker, just don't. Because they allowed him to come

267
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: right down the field and in position for a makeable

268
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 1: field goal. Look like you got tipped von Hester? Yeah,

269
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: that tip trayvon Hester is trending on Twitter this morning

270
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: because finally people went back and looked at the tape

271
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 1: and sure enough, you look like he tipped the ball?

272
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: Did he get how I mean? How much did he

273
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 1: get because it started right down the middle and then

274
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: it enough enough to enough to make it go left. Yeah,

275
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: but no, it did a close up view and I'm

276
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna go see I should have done that

277
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: this morning. I went in here and started looking at

278
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: the rams already. But I'm gonna see if on that

279
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 1: special teams if you could actually tell it. But it

280
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: looks like from from the from the close up angles

281
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: that were I saw this morning that that he got

282
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: a hand on the ball so or partially got a

283
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: hand on the ball or finger on the ball. That

284
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: kind of changed the trajectory a little bit, which is

285
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: weird because I guarantee you for twenty yards that thing

286
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: was good. All of a sudden, there it goes. And

287
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: how many times he had to set a record this year?

288
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: Five times for hitting? No, he didn't one four one game,

289
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: six six times six time overall? Yeah he went he

290
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: went doink four times this time, Yeah, four times against

291
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: the Lions, one time against the Vikings last week, and

292
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: then this one this week. Right, he gets too this

293
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: time just booed off the field mercilessly. Did you see

294
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: the Bears mascots sideways? I didn't see he was behind

295
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: the gold post ready to you know ed he just

296
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: they should have put the bands on. Suicide wise, well,

297
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: your whole season, twelve wins, young quarterback. You think he

298
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: got momentum and it comes down to that, well touchdowns,

299
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: well they did. They didn't get that too. A two

300
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: point conversion they didn't get turned out to be really

301
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: costly to only go up five instead of seven. Yeah.

302
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: I was really the play of the game right there,

303
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: when you think about it, Yeah, it really was. The

304
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: The thing about it though, two is that I believe

305
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: if I read correctly that Parky was eleven of twelve

306
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: and fourth quarter kicks he was. They flashed it down

307
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: the script. Well, and before they iced him, that first

308
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: kick looked perfect, right, It was good right down the middle. Yeah,

309
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: it was good. That's because there was no pressure because

310
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: he knew there was going to crop time out. Probably

311
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: he said, okay, I'm just gonna take a warm up

312
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: shot here. Yeah. Well, at least didn't come down to

313
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: your kicker having to make one. Yeah, that would have

314
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: been the same reaction. You know, fans would have been

315
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: on watch as well if you missed that one. But

316
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: the dude sat in front of his locker and answered questions. Yeah,

317
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: sure did give him credit. Sports hate going on right there.

318
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I hate to see that. Yeah, but it

319
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: makes for an interesting week this weekend. How about the

320
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: storylines that we are going to be talking about for

321
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: the next few days. Here, you're leading up to this

322
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys Rams matchup, starting with the running backs Zeke and Gurley.

323
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: You got Wade Phillips, the defensive coordinator on the other side. Um,

324
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: I mean there's there's and really you look at the

325
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: history of the Cowboys in the Rams. I've seen a

326
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: lot of playoff games my day. Yeah. Yeah. There was

327
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: a stretch there of six seasons in the late seven

328
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: mid to late seventies where the Cowboys are Rams every

329
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: game there. I was very five. Six years in the playoffs,

330
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: Preston Pearson had one of the great games I've ever seen.

331
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: It was played the call scene by a running back.

332
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: I mean he cut three touchdown passes in that game.

333
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys were underdogs in that one as well.

334
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: It was Yeah, they It was a great history between

335
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: these two franchises when it comes to when it comes

336
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: to playoff games, and they've lost the last two to them, right,

337
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: five was the last time the three playoffs which one

338
00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: day they get shut out. One of them they got

339
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: shut out. I think it was the most recent one.

340
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: Twenty to nothing, Yeah, twenty to nothing again beat in

341
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: eighty three two. Yeah. Yeah. The other storyline is too

342
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: Wade Phillips, Wade Phillips. But you know, Jared Goff goes,

343
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: would you go number one in twenty sixteen, Yes, yep,

344
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: Zeke goes three picks later, and then you know Daki

345
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: Scots worked out pretty well in the one hundred and

346
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: thirty something picks later. Yeah, yeah, with a compensatory pick.

347
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. A lot a lot going on. I think

348
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 1: I think a lot of the back and forth this

349
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: week is going to be ken. The Cowboys defense play

350
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: is what it needs to at the level to stop

351
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,360
Speaker 1: the Rams, and I think both. I think that you're

352
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: gonna look at the Rams defense. We we're surely going

353
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: to talk about you know, Aaron Donald quite a bit.

354
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 1: Rams struck. Yeah, Rams struggled playing run defense though five

355
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: over five yards to carry a little bit. Now, maybe

356
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 1: that's a little bit about you know, being ahead, being

357
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,479
Speaker 1: aheading games and stuff like that. But I'll tell you

358
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: what though, the storyline will be about the Cowboys defense

359
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: and the Rams offense. But again, don't sleep on the

360
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: on the Cowboys offense. You know, as far as you know,

361
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 1: they we're seeing some some better things. I mean with

362
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: I'm sure Sue Sue Field will be back in there

363
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: at left guard. But Connor Williams wasn't terrible in this game.

364
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: And the one sack they gave up was on a

365
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: twist stunt that they tried to man where they'd passed

366
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: some stunts earlier in the game, I mean passing passing

367
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: guys off. They just got caught in a situation where

368
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 1: you know, Clark just the they did it. They did

369
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 1: a couple of twist stunts to that side, and they

370
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: did it just find picking it up. It was just

371
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: that once one time they had they had problems, but

372
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 1: so so I saw that they manned the Scnor not

373
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: supposed to come off and pick him up in the middle.

374
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: They manned it. And know how was Tyran was supposed

375
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: to get over there in time. That's that's how they

376
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: That's how the long way to go. Yeah, well, they

377
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: they they usually what they'll do is they usually will

378
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: bump the stunt and at that particular time, it might

379
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 1: be something to do with protection. It might be a scheme,

380
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: uh thought that they have that. They just played the

381
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: twist as a man twist and they and it's it's

382
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: a tough way to block if you're gonna man stunts,

383
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: and you know, you have to be able to to

384
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: make that work. I mean you have to be able

385
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: to cross behind the block and pick it up. But

386
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: that was that was the only blemish that offensive line

387
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,959
Speaker 1: really had. When it came to pass protection. They did

388
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: a pretty good job holding up against the group that's

389
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: that's got some pass rushers on it. It was that

390
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: sort of a situation where the Seahawks had the right

391
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: the right call for they ran. They ran the stunt

392
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: earlier in the game and got blocked and then and

393
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: then they came back to it and got a got

394
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: a sack. So it's something that they obviously felt like

395
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys would man the would man the stunt

396
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: and they got him for the one time. The other

397
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: time they didn't, but that time they did so. But

398
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: I they tip of the cap to Connor Williams. There

399
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: was a lot of concern about how well he could

400
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: really play. We talked about how well he could fit though.

401
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: In the running game, he was able to get up

402
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: on the second level a couple of different times, you know,

403
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: better than what probably we would see from Sue a

404
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: philo and effect. If you look at the quarterback run

405
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: on third and fifteen, he threw a key block. He

406
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: and Martin, Zack Martin threw key blocks to get to

407
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: in their lucky They didn't get a block in the

408
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: back down field on Blake Jarwin though, that was close.

409
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: But other than that, I mean, I thought the guy

410
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: played a really he's not a freshman anymore. He played well,

411
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: played well. You talked about in the running game, trying

412
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: to attack those edges against Seattle, I did. Zeke's two

413
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: big runs were bounced outside, although the forty four yard

414
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: looked like a bust by Seattle. Yeah, they got caught.

415
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 1: They got caught trying to pack things down inside though

416
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: when it bounced though, their guys got were too far

417
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 1: inside on the play. Yeah, but he did a nice job,

418
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: Yeah he did. Yeah. But I mean going forward, looking

419
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 1: at left guard, we talked when we talk about Sue

420
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 1: Filo's power, it doesn't get more of a strength on

421
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 1: power matchup than this one. I mean, Sue and Donald

422
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: in the middle. Yeah, Donald's the Donald. The problem with

423
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: Donald is going to be the quickness and to do speed. Yeah,

424
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: when that initial step, that's that's what gives everybody problems

425
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: is the fact he's built so low to the ground

426
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: that you really he doesn't give you much of a

427
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: hitting space when you're talking about your hands. And then

428
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: so when he wins on that first step, when that

429
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: first step, you know, when he's able to dip a

430
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: shoulder or or you know, or kind of just get

431
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: underneath you, then he's that's where he's got the leverage

432
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: to play and just to keep moving. But yeah, he's

433
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's not gonna be an easy matchup

434
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys at all. And that'll be an interesting

435
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: decision there about Suafilo or Connor Williams. Yeah, because I

436
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: think Williams. I only saw one other play when I

437
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: went back and watched it, he kind of whiffed on.

438
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: But other than that and and that one, it wasn't

439
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: like he locked on to the guy he was blocking, said,

440
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: oh I should have gone there. He stayed with the guy.

441
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: Oh no, he did his job. If you're gonna man

442
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: the stunt, he blocked this guy very well. It. Tyren

443
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 1: Smith was one now again that if you if you're

444
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: gonna man stunts, you got to be able to cross

445
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: if you're gon to do that. And Tyren just got caught,

446
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 1: got caught too far to the outside and couldn't get

447
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: back to the inside. And next you know, Clark was

448
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 1: on the was on doc. Originally I thought Looney had

449
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: fallen asleep. Yeah he was done. He was double team

450
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: the other side. Yeah, all right, we're just getting started

Speaker 1: news for everybody out there. Keep although I thought about

517
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,600

Speaker 1: it to you, Mickey, just as a reminder, an alert,

519
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,719
Speaker 1: or at least just hold them up. Not when I

520
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: was wearing them. Oh yeah, yeah, I was worried. Yeah,

521
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: for everybody out there. All right, So where we go here?

522
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: It is you want to take a phone call and

523
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: you want to see what's going great, then test the

524
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: temperature out there. You think people are happy? I think

525
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: we're not going to find any complaints. Do you think

526
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 1: you ever be a lot of cowboy fans in the stands.

527
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: I think I'm going to predict thirty Memorial Coliseum thirty thousand,

528
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: thirty thousand Cowboys fans. Wow, so we're saying, yeah, what

529
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 1: are they? Probably about one hundred thousand in it? Well,

530
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 1: they kind of refigured the stadium. I don't know, because

531
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: they put in some sweet then, right, so yeah, they

532
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: got to have at least seventy or seventy thousand eighty. Yeah,

533
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: we need to look that up. Hmm. All those folks

534
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: from Arizona, there'll be a caravan coming to Southern Ticket

535
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: for San Diego. The tickets are really high. Yeah. After

536
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 1: the Parky kick was the tickets went way up. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

537
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: way up. I can understand that with the Cowboys coming

538
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: to town. Let's go to Ron in California. Maybe he

539
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: can give us an idea of the excitement level out there. Hello,

540
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 1: we're on. Hey, how you guys doing good? Yeah, tickets

541
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: are pretty high. I think the cheaper ticket you can

542
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: find to sit high up it's about five dollars on

543
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: how much? Yeah, last night I paid about four hundred

544
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: fifty dollars for two tickets. Uh so yeah, just about

545
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: over a thousand dollars when you include seas and uh

546
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 1: on Saturday, it's supposed to be pretty rainy out here,

547
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: so it won't be that that nice drun game time problem. Mum.

548
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: But my question was last year when we played the Rams, um,

549
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 1: Sean McVay and Jared Goff and talking early really took

550
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: advantage of Jevin Smith. Um, so what do you think

551
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: the Cowboys would try to do this year? What did

552
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: try to you know, use or to lewis the same

553
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: way they use them during the Saints game, or whether

554
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: they tried, you know, to you know, put Byron Jones

555
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 1: on girly or something like that. And I'll take you answer,

556
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 1: I'll find Thank you, all right, thank you, Ron? And Um. Well,

557
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: first and foremost, don't fumble a punt when you're ready

558
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: to go up seventeen to nothing. You got a good

559
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: memory there making oh he yeah, Ryan Switzer costs them

560
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: the season. He did. Yeah, they were going to put

561
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: that team away. They scored on their first what two drives? Yeah, yeah,

562
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: playing the game, no doubt about it. Second half was

563
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: a different story. Yep. In that game ye last year

564
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: played at at and T Stadium. You know, one question

565
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: for them is Girly's health now it's the last two games. Yeah,

566
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: Sean McVay said he thinks he'll probably be good to

567
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: go practice tomorrow, but he's had some knee soreness and

568
00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: I think it goes back to college. Is that right something? Yeah, George,

569
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: he's had to deal with a little bit about his career.

570
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: But man, I've been watching the Philadelphia game. Oh my god,

571
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: he's a great player. I mean, there's so many things

572
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: they do with him, and you know, you think about

573
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,719
Speaker 1: the great things they do with Zeke here, you know,

574
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: but think about this, the way they throw the ball

575
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: and stuff. I mean, they create things for Gurley to

576
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: do in the passing game. I think this screen against

577
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: Philadelphia that's incredible. The way they ran it. It's like

578
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: a delay where they have him blocking on the back

579
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: side and they roll the pocket to the right and

580
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: then they you know, they get everybody going right and

581
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: then they just set it back up to the left.

582
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: And McVeigh is a pretty creative guy as far as

583
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: how he gets Gurly the ball. But he just naturally

584
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: this handing the ball. It seems like he's just gliding

585
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: for five yards, just like you know, the Eagles looks

586
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: like they're in good shape, and then bam, he's It's

587
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: like a four or five yard game just instantly and

588
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: then he you know, he gets tackling stuff. So I mean,

589
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: if he if they've rested him the last three weeks,

590
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: I expect you'll probably see the best version of Todd

591
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: Gurley in this game. I have to play him the least, No, No,

592
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: but why play him? Like I said, I've just got

593
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: started on the Eagles game, but it just seemed, man,

594
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: it's just the way the way he runs the ball

595
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: is so impressive. It really really is. He's clearly you

596
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: want to and you don't even to tell you he's

597
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: one of the best running backs in this league just

598
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: because they the way too again they throw him the balls.

599
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: That's impressive as well. And he scores touchdowns, yeah, a

600
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: lot of them, seventeen rushing touchdowns I think maybe six

601
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns this year. The big differences between his production

602
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: during the regular season and what Zeke had six rushing

603
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: touchdowns on the year. Gurley the first team All Pro

604
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: running back. Zeke was snubbed on that even though he

605
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: was the rushing leader. How much do you think he

606
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: was second team? Yeah, but he was snubbed as far

607
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: as first team goes touchdowns. But how much do you

608
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: think Zeke is motivated by any of that stuff. I

609
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: think Zeke's just motivated just to win the game. I

610
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: don't I don't think he's worried about Gurley or in a

611
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, they switched. They exchanged jerseys the

612
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: last time. I think there's a lot of respect between

613
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: the two. I think motivation is the fact that that

614
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: all week long we're gonna be talking about the rams

615
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: ability with Girly to run the football. I think that's

616
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: I think that's something that you know they have. It

617
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: really it's a dynamic offense. But I think that if

618
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: there's motivation, it's like, you know, Okay, we can block two,

619
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: we can run the football. You know, I'm I'm leading

620
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: rusher in the in the league. I don't think that.

621
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: I don't think Zeke will get overshadowed, but I think

622
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: his motivation will be to just because just to try

623
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: and go on to play well and to carry this

624
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: team the best he can. Yeah, this defense is going

625
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: to have their bulletin board material too. It's going to

626
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: remind you of the Saints week of Man, these guys,

627
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: they put up thirty three points a game, how do

628
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: you stop them? All that? So I think I think,

629
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: especially this defense thrives with a chip on their shoulder,

630
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: I really do, and that they're going to have no

631
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: shortage of it this week. There's no need for extra

632
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: motivation once it comes to the playoffs, right, No, that's that, Yeah,

633
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: I know, But I feel like these guys are constantly

634
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: looking for some an extra edge, an extra edge, and

635
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: it goes back to being three and five. You hear

636
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: it some of the comments they'll make after games about

637
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: everybody writing them off. You hear it constantly. They've used

638
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: that as fuel all season long, and you know, of

639
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: course the playoffs are big, but I think they've got

640
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: something to prove. I really do. You know. I think

641
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: the best motivation that a coach can do would be

642
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: to how much how much money do they make each

643
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: week in the playoffs. So maybe the Cowboys I believe

644
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: it was twenty nine thousand and four winning this the

645
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: wild card, right right, And let's say it's a bumps

646
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: up another ten. I think, let's say it's thirty thousand whatever. Yeah,

647
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: put thirty thousand dollars in a jar. Yeah, and let

648
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: them walk by that every single day. That's what you're

649
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: playing for this week, and that will be the motivation. People.

650
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: People don't think about the fact that, hey, all the

651
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: money you're making now, yeah, and the playoffs, your your

652
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: salary is based on the regular season. All the money

653
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: you're making and now is winning this game. That's how

654
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: you that's how you make more money. I don't know.

655
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: I've seen I've seen the guys lose that playoff check

656
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: on one hand of cards in a boot ray game.

657
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, I can get paid for losing. But but no,

658
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: the thing about it is, yeah, you know, motivation to

659
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: me will not not be a problem here. This This

660
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: is one of those things where you look, you know,

661
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: and again the narrative, the motivation will the motivation generally

662
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: comes from us. But I mean us meaning the media,

663
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: because we talk about and then and we'll talk about it,

664
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: and the show's Good Morning Football all week long. You

665
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: know they'll they'll hear it, they'll hear and get I

666
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: trust you, they'll trust me. There'll be some national writers

667
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: here now when you get in the playoffs. Now, we'll

668
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: start to see those now and then we'll see their

669
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: stories and they'll be like, oh, this is gonna happen,

670
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: this is gonna happen. They'll see people say, oh, they

671
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: can't stop this, and they can't do that. I mean,

672
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: the motivation is not a problem. The motivation will be

673
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 1: to go play well and try and get this thing

674
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: to the NFC championship game. That's that's the motivation. They

675
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: we're all ready here Saturday night. Yeah, the national right

676
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: sure coming in. Yeah. And the other motivation is you're

677
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 1: playing before the other game. So in your mind, if

678
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:15,760
Speaker 1: I win, I'm I'm hosting the NFC title game if

679
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: the Eagles win. But the Eagles play after them, so

680
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: they don't know that, right, They'll play Sunday, they plays

681
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: play Sunday, they play Sunday. So when the Cowboys play,

682
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: in their mind, if we win, we could host. We could. Yeah,

683
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: there is the operative word, yeah could. Yeah. Well, at

684
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: that point you are because you are already won. Okay, yeah,

685
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: follow my logic. Please we try. I just like watching

686
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: watch that doesn't make sense. Made perfect sense to me,

687
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 1: of course it did. Injury issues coming out of this game.

688
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 1: There are a few injury issues. Yeah, well, Alan Hearns

689
00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: is well. Yeah, and uh fortun it sounds like he'll

690
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 1: be able to make a comeback for next season. But

691
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: just a horrific injury. Uh. And I didn't watch it.

692
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: I mean I saw the play, but I didn't watch

693
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,359
Speaker 1: the replay. When they showed it, I knew I could

694
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: tell just by the reaction that it was bad, and

695
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: so I refused to watch it. Yesterday. Yesterday I went

696
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: back and watched it and I paused it. It was like, oh,

697
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: I screamed, it was awful. Yeah, you could see from

698
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: our press box seat what happened, and that's all I needed.

699
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: I just know my ankle doesn't go at ninety turn yep. Yep.

700
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 1: But you said full recovery. That's what Jason conference call up, right, Yeah,

701
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: it was. It was described to me as and I

702
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: will see if I can get the explanation here. Very

703
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: similar to the des ankle injury at Indianapolis a few

704
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 1: years ago. Uh. But the only difference was Hearns has

705
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: had to be re located and then he had an

706
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: open wound. So surgery went very very well, very similar

707
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: surgery though to what Dez had when they played when

708
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,240
Speaker 1: he got his ankle broken in Indianapolis. See, I thought

709
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: there was because when they when they were getting him

710
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: on the on the cart. Yeah, I saw all the

711
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 1: other guys picking up all these towels. Yeah, and I

712
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: didn't see any blood. But well, doctor Cooper had gloves on.

713
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 1: He took gloves on off after yea, after the after

714
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: the heat, they loaded him onto the I wonder who

715
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: did the surgery because doctor Cooper was there when he

716
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 1: was at the game. Yeah, he was at the game,

717
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 1: so he was already an undergoing surgery one game ended. Yeah.

718
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: And the other thing about Alan Hearns Uh. And if

719
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: you're on Dallas Cowboys dot com a lot, you've seen

720
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 1: interviews with him and stuff. He's just a great guy yea.

721
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: And hats off to him this season. I mean, he's

722
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,720
Speaker 1: just a true pro. Even you know, after the trade

723
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: was made for Amari Cooper, you know his snaps were

724
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:04,280
Speaker 1: going to be limited, and he's just a great team guy,

725
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: and you just hate to hate to see it having anybody.

726
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: But um, I've just always since he came over from

727
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: Jacksonville this past year, I have been very impressed with him.

728
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: Well he could have. He could have complained and bitched

729
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 1: and done all that stuff about you know, well, why

730
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: they do this. I'm the number one guy, you know,

731
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 1: I mean, but he didn't. He knew, he knew they

732
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 1: needed to do something that that's just the guy realized.

733
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: He's looking at the big picture of it and saying, yeah,

734
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: we need to do something here. You know, I'm not

735
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: getting the ball, and but for that matter, no one

736
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: else is getting the ball, and then we need somebody

737
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 1: to kind of open some things up. And every time

738
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: he's had to make a play, he's made a play.

739
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: And every time he was ever asked to block at

740
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: the point of attack, he blocked. So, yeah, hats off. Unfortunate,

741
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 1: but you know, they're gonna have to find a way

742
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: now to move on. And you know, obviously Lancelore was

743
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 1: probably first and foremost in their mind. And you know,

744
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: lance played some games on special teams. Did he do

745
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: well enough? You know, we'll see, but you know, somebody's

746
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: got to stay up makes them play. And then you

747
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: had Cole Beasley with what he's dealing with and Tavon

748
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: Austin at the end of the game too. Yeah, so

749
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 1: Cole said, you know, I just needed to calm down.

750
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 1: It's the same foot. He had a foot deal most

751
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: of this season that he's been dealing with a part

752
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: of it. Now it's the ankle. I don't know. I mean,

753
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 1: we'll kind of see how he can do as the

754
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: week of practice goes on. I wonder what he can

755
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: do Tuesday, But we'll see. But that you know, that

756
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,439
Speaker 1: would be a loss. That'd be a big loss for sure,

757
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: about that bundle of energy Tavon and we're asking for something.

758
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: And I think the only reason he got to return

759
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 1: punts is because Beasley got hurt. You know, Beasley is

760
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: going to be your primary punt return in that game,

761
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you know, I thought they

762
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:48,399
Speaker 1: might they might use him just for what happened. I mean,

763
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: because I think a lot of it, I need to

764
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: ask that question. But to me going into the game

765
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 1: even occur to me, Yeah, because of the Beasley injury,

766
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: I thought that they probably been they brought Beasley back,

767
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: you know, they brought them back for to catch the

768
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,280
Speaker 1: one punt down in the end that but I didn't

769
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 1: going over his head. Remember that that was after tavon

770
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 1: his right second long right. But they but yeah, which

771
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 1: I assumed did the right thing. He felt something that

772
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 1: ball hit on the four yard line. He did the

773
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,399
Speaker 1: right thing. I mean, he know, people saying I should

774
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 1: have caught the ball at the four had been better,

775
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 1: I know, you know, to me, no, I mean the

776
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 1: way the angle, the guy made a hell of a

777
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: play to knock it back into field of play to

778
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: make the play. But yeah, I think and I need

779
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: to ask. I will ask, I'll take I'll ask at

780
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: the break. But I feel like though that that's that's

781
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 1: why they they did what they did because it Beasley

782
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: got hurt. I didn't want to put him back. You know,

783
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: well on Thursday, you know, he had been catching the punts.

784
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: He's been team ever since he's been here. He's been

785
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: backing it up. Yeah, but he started taking some with

786
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: the punt return team right on Thursday, right, and he

787
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,240
Speaker 1: went ahead of Beasley. So I just I just thought

788
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: that if if vines healthy in a playoff game where

789
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: he can make a return for a touchdown, which he did,

790
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: if not for a block in the back or hold

791
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 1: or whatever they called right whatever, right that you want

792
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: to use that if if you have at all, if

793
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: he's capable at all of doing it, I guarantee he

794
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: wants to play in this game. If he's, like you said,

795
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: if he's healthy enough, because he didn't think he got

796
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 1: he doesn't feel like he got a Coatue. There you're

797
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: talking about storyline. Yeah, there you go, going back to

Speaker 1: you to Mickey's head point. To Mickey's point, Mickey was

871
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 1: absolutely right that the primary punt return of this game

872
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:39,280
Speaker 1: was Tavon Austin and so then they only use Beasley

873
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:41,479
Speaker 1: on the punt safe stuff now, So going in this game,

874
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: Tavon Austin will be your be your primary primary guy

875
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: and on side kick safe too. And he's fine health

876
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 1: wise as far as we know. As far as we know,

877
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:55,360
Speaker 1: I didn't hear anything anything Jason said yesterday. They'll monitor

878
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 1: him this week, and maybe it has something to just

879
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 1: coming back off the injury. You know, it's I don't know.

880
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if he was a one hundred percent

881
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,240
Speaker 1: when he came back. I just thought on that last

882
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 1: return that you know, there was a reason that he

883
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 1: kind of pulled up a little bit man, But he

884
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 1: thought he I thought it was I thought it was

885
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 1: hamstring again or I was like, he kind of like

886
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 1: jerked and I'm like, oh no, what did happened? You

887
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: hit it out of bound? After that? Yeah, let me

888
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,359
Speaker 1: qualify that. As Brian always says, they're not gonna put

889
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: a guy on the field if he's not healthy enough

890
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: to play. It's something they're going to monitor him every

891
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,479
Speaker 1: shure right out of the game, like they've done with Sean,

892
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,359
Speaker 1: you know, with the hamstring, right, And the other part

893
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:34,359
Speaker 1: of that is is okay, yeah, he might be able

894
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: to do some stuff, but you want to make sure

895
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 1: that he's not going to reinjure. No, yeah, aggravated worse? Sweet? Yeah,

896
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 1: you need him? Well then yeah the next week and

897
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 1: then in Atlanta you'll need him. Yeah. Yeah. With Bill

898
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 1: being in there, there's right, you might be Bill never.

899
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have some company there. I can I can

900
00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 1: sense it, I can feel it. You feel the company? Yeah, yeah,

901
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:04,280
Speaker 1: all right. That was the third playoff win in twenty

902
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: two years. You'll know how long it's been since the

903
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys won a road playoff game. Geez, it's gonna be

904
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: uh yeah, Miles Austin, hang on a second. Oh wow,

905
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: I figured y'all would shoot this right out. They beat

906
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: the Bears, They beat the Bears nineteen was it? Didn't

907
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:29,680

00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety three, one of my favorite games ever, the

914
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 1: NFC Championship. I was at the game. What about I

915
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 1: was there too. I was at the game. I kind

916
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:03,760
Speaker 1: of not remember that one, thinking that that was Alvin

917
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:07,359
Speaker 1: Harper game, right, Harper? Jeez? I was there with John Dorsey. Yeah,

918
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 1: that's why I got kicked out of the press of

919
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 1: the UH. I told that story. I remember, I told

920
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 1: that I was there thinking about that. Yeah, okay, that

921
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: game was playing at Candlestick. I was there. I was

922
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 1: at the East West game. That's why I went. Okay. Yeah,

923
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:22,720
Speaker 1: the people people on on periscope, we're all Columbus idiots.

924
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:27,239
Speaker 1: We'll calling me adiat right now, twenty nearly twenty six

925
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 1: years ago. Yeah. And of course the Cowboys were so

926
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 1: good during that time during the nineties that most all

927
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,479
Speaker 1: of their playoff games were home game. Now they lost

928
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: at San Francisco of course Switzer's first year, right, Um,

929
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 1: But were they a major underdog in that game? Yes.

930
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 1: Everybody kept saying they're too young, they're too young. Like

931
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 1: I was saying about the Bears. That's what I was

932
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 1: saying about the Bears. Yeah, well it's it's you know,

933
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,720
Speaker 1: playoff experience. What a great game that was. Oh yeah,

934
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 1: I was out there all week covering it about going

935
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: to dwy somewhat remember strong Yeah. Uh. And there was

936
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 1: actually an earthquake. Uh that was you know, the Cowboys

937
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 1: came in two days early. Okay, so they had to

938
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 1: walk through at the stadium on Saturday. But on the

939
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 1: Friday night before there was it was a mild earthquake. Whatever,

940
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: you know, something you live with out there exactly right.

941
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 1: There was nothing to dive. It was everything to be.

942
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 1: That was it. It was that year because I remember

943
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 1: being in the hospitality room in San Francisco for a

944
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 1: game and there was a that was that year? Was it? Yeah?

945
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 1: But we wouldn't have been there that soon, would we?

946
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:36,359
Speaker 1: The team came in two days early for conference championship game.

947
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 1: You come in two days Oh that's right, because they

948
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 1: had the NFC. Uh. Yeah, they had the press and

949
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:48,359
Speaker 1: the party Friday night. Yeah, I remember that. I was

950
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 1: We were way up in the hospitality room at top

951
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:54,359
Speaker 1: of the it was the uh, the downtown Marriott, and

952
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:58,359
Speaker 1: it was like, oh yeah, I felt that. Yeah, that's right,

953
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 1: sort of like that time at up and in thousand

954
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: I mean at in Oxnard. Yeah. The other thing when

955
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: you look at storylines Cowboys and Rams. Of course, Thousand

956
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,880
Speaker 1: Oaks was the former home summer home of the Cowboys

957
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 1: for decades and now the Rams, their semi permanent facility,

958
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:19,439
Speaker 1: regular season facility is there in Thousand Oaks. And I've

959
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 1: paid a visit there when we were in Oxnard, did

960
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 1: a little you know, going down memory Lane and just

961
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 1: take a look. I know, Mickey, you've been there to

962
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 1: check it out. But it and I tweeted this out

963
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 1: CBS eleven Bill Jones, the where the headquarters, the Rams

964
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:42,800
Speaker 1: headquarters are. It is unbelievable how primitive it it looks

965
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:45,800
Speaker 1: back there. It's just a gray fence with some gray

966
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 1: buildings like looked like army barracks that have been set

967
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:52,319
Speaker 1: up there, and they got a practice field that you

968
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:55,760
Speaker 1: can't see from you know, down the hill or anything.

969
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 1: It's it's very very private and it's way back in

970
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 1: the hills there. But to think of the facility we're

971
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 1: in here at the Star and the Rams are in

972
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,280
Speaker 1: this thing, which a very nice place in thousand Oaks.

973
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:13,839
Speaker 1: But and of course they're awaiting there. It's a temporary.

974
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 1: It's temporary when while they await their new stadium being

975
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 1: built and all that stuff. You know, when when Nate

976
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,359
Speaker 1: and I went there to do the Legend show, we

977
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:25,880
Speaker 1: walked into the old cafeteria where they where the cowboys

978
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 1: used the players used to eat, and we were standing

979
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 1: there walking through and some lady comes up and she goes,

980
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what you guys are doing here, but

981
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 1: you know the cowboys used to train here, and I

982
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 1: used to feed him in this cafeteria. She was still

983
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,439
Speaker 1: working o This was like three two three years ago,

984
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 1: same late. It's like, I said, well, you probably fed

985
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:48,799
Speaker 1: this guy. She goes, what do you mean, It's like

986
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: he played for them, Oh, and she got all excited.

987
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 1: All right, Saturday night. Other things that stuck out for

988
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 1: you on Saturday Night, obviously, Dak was huge with a

989
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: third and fourteen play and just coming through in the clutch. Um.

990
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what Dak. Dak has become. Uh, you know,

991
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 1: he's not the purest passer, no at all, but when

992
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,360
Speaker 1: it came I mean you look at his college career

993
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:22,279
Speaker 1: and now his NFL career. He's a winner. Yeah, that's

994
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:24,439
Speaker 1: I think that's the best thing you could ever say

995
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 1: about a player, is the guy's a winner, because there's

996
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 1: all these players are different. You know, they're they're gonna

997
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,799
Speaker 1: find different ways to win, you know, and I think

998
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 1: you have to accept Dak for who he is. You know,

999
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:37,919
Speaker 1: he's he plays with a huge heart. You know, there's

1000
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 1: some throws that you know that he's gonna miss, there's

1001
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 1: some reads he's gonna miss, but when the game was

1002
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:46,319
Speaker 1: on the line, he finds ways to make plays. I

1003
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 1: think that's the best thing you could ever say about

1004
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:51,759
Speaker 1: a quarterback, that that they have the ability when you know,

1005
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 1: when their team needs him the most, that they're there

1006
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 1: and they've you know this, it's not it has not

1007
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 1: been easy for him all year, but you know, you

1008
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 1: look now they're in the divisional championship game with you know,

1009
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 1: with after starting the way they did, and a lot

1010
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:11,279
Speaker 1: of it is because of him, you know, absolutely. I

1011
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: think you talk about being a winner and a competitor.

1012
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 1: Something that embodies that was the touchdown pass to Michael Gallup,

1013
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 1: the back shoulder fade in the red zone and he

1014
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 1: misses him badly. One player, Yeah, and he comes right back,

1015
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna make the throw this time, and

1016
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 1: that's that just kind of speaks to how he is,

1017
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 1: how he goes about it, and how he competes. You know.

1018
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 1: The other thing that stood out too, I don't think

1019
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 1: we've mentioned Amari Cooper. They really got him going in

1020
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 1: this game, one hundred and six yards. That thirty four

1021
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:41,319
Speaker 1: yard catch really set them up and got them going

1022
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:44,799
Speaker 1: offensively in the second half. So that's encouraging going forward

1023
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:48,279
Speaker 1: as well, for sure. You know the guys, I guess

1024
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:52,359
Speaker 1: Jason went on early today I'm a fan, and they

1025
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 1: were shocked when he told him that play to the

1026
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:59,359
Speaker 1: dak ran On was a called play. Oh, I thought,

1027
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:02,719
Speaker 1: I got definitely what were you watching? Yeah, because as

1028
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:04,879
Speaker 1: soon as he hit his back foot, he took off

1029
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: and the offensive linemen are already downfield. So yeah, they

1030
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 1: called it and probably figured, okay, let's see what we

1031
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:13,279
Speaker 1: can get and maybe have to kick a field goal

1032
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:16,279
Speaker 1: and make it an easier field goal. How about the

1033
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 1: play before that? It was second in fourteen at the

1034
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:21,960
Speaker 1: seventeen yard line and the Seahawks were down to one

1035
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:24,720
Speaker 1: time out left and then you had the two minute

1036
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:27,719
Speaker 1: warning too. And I'm sitting there going, okay, you had

1037
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 1: the penalty that pushed you back and made it the

1038
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:33,399
Speaker 1: second in fourteen at the seventeen yard line, and they

1039
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 1: threw a pass, and I was like, run the ball.

1040
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: In fact, I rode down, Why throw the ball? Three

1041
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 1: stars next to it? Right? Well, maybe that's why they ran, Yeah,

1042
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 1: but that's what and that's and so maybe maybe they

1043
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 1: were setting up the quarterback draw by throwing a pass.

1044
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:55,879
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I mean, yeah, you throw

1045
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 1: a pass in one second in fourteen, But in that situation,

1046
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,880
Speaker 1: I thought, you don't want to throw an incompletion. You

1047
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:04,239
Speaker 1: don't want to give him a time out right right?

1048
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 1: You know what? Has it turned out they got the

1049
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 1: time out because they got reviewed. Yeah, otherwise the clock

1050
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 1: would have still been running out. But mark, but anyway,

1051
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:16,920
Speaker 1: and so then it made the quarterback I thought. I

1052
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 1: thought it was definitely a quarterback draw when they ran it, right,

1053
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 1: And it was a great play call. It was, I

1054
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 1: mean a great job of him running through I mean

1055
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:27,400
Speaker 1: he ran through you know the linebat, I mean he

1056
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 1: ran through some guys to make that first down there

1057
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:32,480
Speaker 1: was that wasn't gonna be you know, he ran through

1058
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner basically, and Wagner and McDougald both are really

1059
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:39,360
Speaker 1: good tacklers, and he ran through both of them to

1060
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 1: get the necessary yards. But the incomplete pass on second

1061
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 1: and fourteen put it in the minds of the defense, right,

1062
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 1: they're throwing the ball. Yeah, absolutely, they're throwing the ball here. Absolutely. Yeah.

1063
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 1: I just I you know, I thought my one of

1064
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 1: my favorite players of the game was just the straight

1065
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 1: quarterback power run that he had. It looked like Army

1066
00:54:57,520 --> 00:54:59,799
Speaker 1: football in nineteen forty four where he just took the

1067
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 1: ball all it snapped it to him and then I mean,

1068
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 1: they got guys on the outside. I'll tell you what.

1069
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:06,279
Speaker 1: And I wrote about this, Ezekieliott had one of the

1070
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 1: best blocks I've ever I mean I said this, I

1071
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 1: said it, give him a Buckeye helmet sticker because he

1072
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,760
Speaker 1: chopped kJ Wright down. And you know, I mean, that's

1073
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 1: what you gotta have. I mean, here's your running back.

1074
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:20,319
Speaker 1: You know who's you know, you're really your heart and

1075
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 1: your soul, your team. What's he doing. I mean, you

1076
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 1: watch that tape and you're thinking, my god, he's going

1077
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 1: out there chopping guys down, trying to throw a block

1078
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 1: for his quarterback and it was a textbook block. But

1079
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 1: that was one of my favorite plays of the game

1080
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:32,880
Speaker 1: because it just kind of showed, you know, that's what

1081
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:34,759
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are about. It's about, you know, running the

1082
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:37,360
Speaker 1: football is about powering people. It's about knocking people on

1083
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:39,799
Speaker 1: the ground if you can. And I thought they did

1084
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:41,839
Speaker 1: a great job on that play, and you know, Dak

1085
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:43,759
Speaker 1: got it as close he couldn't in two plays later,

1086
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 1: Zeke scores and Zeke stumbled on the next play. Yeah,

1087
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 1: so they stopped him, but they went a hit and

1088
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 1: they gave it to him and gave it to him again.

1089
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:52,839
Speaker 1: Nothing wrong with that, yep. Absolutely. And the other thing

1090
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 1: they do is they wear people down in the second

1091
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:57,360
Speaker 1: half in the flip quarter, you know, eleven plays, sixty

1092
00:55:57,360 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 1: three yard drive, I think they wore him down. They

1093
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 1: they got tired. So yeah, did that third and fourteen play,

1094
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 1: you know you got to line up once again and

1095
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:07,759
Speaker 1: stop him, and Dak, you know, sacrifices his body once

1096
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:10,120
Speaker 1: again and make a play, which again gets back to

1097
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:14,120
Speaker 1: why the Seahawks were running the ball. They thought eventually

1098
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:16,880
Speaker 1: they would wear down the Cowboys run defense, and it

1099
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 1: didn't happen. Never did but the Mickey said earlier the

1100
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 1: game was close, They're gonna keep doing what they're doing

1101
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 1: as long as the game's close, you know. Think Actually

1102
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:28,320
Speaker 1: that was me who said that, was it you? Okay,

1103
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:30,239
Speaker 1: I'm sorry one of you two on that side of

1104
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 1: the table. Mickey said that wanted the buckeye on my helmet. Yeah,

1105
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:39,400
Speaker 1: but no, that's that's you know, that's the Cowboys a

1106
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:40,919
Speaker 1: lot of credit that had a great getting a great

1107
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 1: game plan and they execute the plan. Well, I mean,

1108
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:45,880
Speaker 1: it's unfortunate and we need to find out. Micky, did

1109
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 1: you ask anybody what happened on the long pass at

1110
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 1: the end of the game. No, I didn't get a

1111
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:52,000
Speaker 1: they were They played the coverage before. It was almost

1112
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:53,719
Speaker 1: like Jeff Heath what they called they play up with

1113
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:56,440
Speaker 1: a robber with the safety playing in the middle where

1114
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 1: they take away the inside, the inside stuff. They ran

1115
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:03,319
Speaker 1: the coverage earlier in the game and didn't have the

1116
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 1: big play. But I don't know if it was Byron

1117
00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:08,360
Speaker 1: Jones that he was expecting that Heath was going to

1118
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 1: help him with the robber. With the robber there, but

1119
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:12,920
Speaker 1: I need to ask, and I think we will. We'll

1120
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 1: figure that out. And I've just never seen him beaten

1121
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 1: that bad. Well, it's like sleep he was. He was

1122
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 1: turned inside, he was cocked inside like he was gonna

1123
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 1: it was funnel into the middle, and then way the

1124
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:27,680
Speaker 1: way the route broke. I'm thinking, okay, is it Heath.

1125
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 1: But Heath was so focused on the middle of the field,

1126
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 1: and then when the route came to the outside, it's

1127
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 1: like that Byron was like, whoa wait a minute, where's

1128
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: my robber? And my robber went there, and there was

1129
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 1: there was some communication there right there. There was some

1130
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:46,120
Speaker 1: communication issues. And there's a side of me that believes

1131
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 1: it probably because I saw the defense played correctly the

1132
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 1: first time. But it seems like to me that probably

1133
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 1: was a Byron Jones issue that maybe he should have

1134
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 1: carried him a little further up the field than he did,

1135
00:57:56,960 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 1: especially in that situation. Seeing the other one I didn't

1136
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:03,280
Speaker 1: think they executed right. Was the uh so the drive

1137
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 1: the seattle finally got going through to the tight end,

1138
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 1: and the next one was at locket or Baald went

1139
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 1: out of the slot and he went all the way

1140
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:12,920
Speaker 1: across the field and cut the ball on the on

1141
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 1: the sideline. Yeah, no one covered him. He was lock it,

1142
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 1: lock it yeah, you got a free relief. I think

1143
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 1: the linebacker was supposed to hit him. Yeah, they were.

1144
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 1: They had two guys and they turned the safe around.

1145
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 1: Yeah it was Xavier Woods was carrying him. At Xavier

1146
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 1: Woods saw it and turned and tried to run. But

1147
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 1: at that time you got Locket. When Lockett's that close

1148
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:32,840
Speaker 1: to you, he's by you. You know, that's just the

1149
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:34,959
Speaker 1: way he plays. But I mean, no one covered him.

1150
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 1: I think overall though, for the secondary, the way they play,

1151
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 1: I thought the secondary was it was good. I thought

1152
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 1: the secondary did what they had to do. But that

1153
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:43,920
Speaker 1: that one big play at the end of the game.

1154
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 1: But you just don't want that to happen. I mean,

1155
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:48,560
Speaker 1: that's the only that was the only play that that's

1156
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 1: the only thing that could have happened, that it could

1157
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:53,120
Speaker 1: have turned the game. You know, we we haven't really

1158
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 1: talked about the fact that they lost their field goal kicker,

1159
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, I mean that that there's some people

1160
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 1: that believe though that if you're one of those numbers guys,

1161
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:04,160
Speaker 1: if you're a numbers guy, you believe it's probably a

1162
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 1: good thing that the loser kicker, because they kept going

1163
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:08,120
Speaker 1: for two. They would have never they would have never

1164
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:10,360
Speaker 1: been that, or they could have punted it, or in

1165
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:12,840
Speaker 1: that final situation they got down to you know, when

1166
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:15,160
Speaker 1: they got down the end and said scorning, they could

1167
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:16,800
Speaker 1: have kicked the field goal then then tried the on

1168
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 1: site kick because they needed the ten points. That's the thing. Yeah,

1169
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 1: it makes it more aggressive. But what if you need

1170
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:24,160
Speaker 1: a forty five yard or to take no doubt at

1171
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 1: the end of the game, you need your kicker. Well,

1172
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:29,160
Speaker 1: don't have a forty five year old kicker who's fifty

1173
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:32,360
Speaker 1: pounds overweight. Yeah, he's been making a lot of field

1174
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:35,240
Speaker 1: goals being overweight. Ye, yes, but that that's that's a

1175
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 1: big hamstring he pulled by. I just to me, I

1176
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 1: didn't quite I didn't quite understand. I didn't quite understand,

1177
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:44,400
Speaker 1: you know, not just putting the ball on the ground

1178
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:46,440
Speaker 1: and trying to squib it, you know, And there's you

1179
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 1: can do. You can do goofy things. Yeah, like you

1180
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 1: could lay the ball flat on the ground and hammer

1181
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:54,400
Speaker 1: it into somebody. Why could I mean, Danikowski's got a hamstring. Yeah,

1182
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:57,040
Speaker 1: but we said that what does it take to well

1183
00:59:57,280 --> 01:00:00,640
Speaker 1: if he's but if out of the game the second half,

1184
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:02,600
Speaker 1: he can't come back in right, they ruled they ruled

1185
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 1: him out in the press box, Yeah they did. Yeah,

1186
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:07,520
Speaker 1: but I don't think that matters, you sure, I mean

1187
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 1: it's not like you put him on a list or anymore.

1188
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 1: What happens when they really a doubtful See, you're not

1189
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 1: out of the game questionable. Yeah, I don't want the

1190
01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:19,440
Speaker 1: point of having designations. I think I think they're just

1191
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 1: being informative, is what you're doing. Okay, we were talking

1192
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:24,160
Speaker 1: about that on the sideline. Weren't sure, but yeah, I mean,

1193
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure he doesn't like punter doesn't practice the on

1194
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 1: sides when they do that drill. But I mean, you're

1195
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 1: not giving yourself a chance to try to do well.

1196
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:34,000
Speaker 1: He was trying to pooch it over the front line.

1197
01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:35,720
Speaker 1: He just kicked it too hard. He hit it with

1198
01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 1: his shin, which was weird. It kind of got it,

1199
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:40,680
Speaker 1: kind of gave it a little elevation to it, is

1200
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:42,920
Speaker 1: what And that that was the easiest. I mean, I

1201
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:44,400
Speaker 1: don't know how you couldn't just put it on a

1202
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 1: t yeah, because they just drop. Yeah, I've seen now,

1203
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:50,960
Speaker 1: I've seen Chris Jones practice on side kicks and training camp.

1204
01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 1: I've seen him, you know, I mean I've seen guys

1205
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 1: practice stuff like that. I know Jeff Heath was the

1206
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 1: kicker in that San Francisco game, but I've seen guys

1207
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:02,440
Speaker 1: like Chris Jones. Seriously, what are the kickers doing all day? Okay,

1208
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 1: might as well do its work on something. They usually

1209
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:07,960
Speaker 1: just around anyway, Just like just like you prepare a

1210
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,560
Speaker 1: backup guard that he may have to go into the game,

1211
01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:13,040
