Okay, yeah, yeah, like October fifth something like that. 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:00.840 Did you hear that yesterday? Maybe? Wait? Wait, Barry's older 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:05.720 than Jerry. He was coach. He was coaching them at Arkansas. Wow, 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:11.280 I did not know that. So they they had Switzer 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:14.360 on yesterday on the ticket?

Oh no, Gordon did Jerry's voice fake? 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:27.720 Jerry called fake? Jerry right, he was going, he was 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:31.440 going along with it, and then he goes, Jerry's that 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:37.880 your ass was? It was? It was? It was? It was? 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:44.040 Gordon right? That is so Switzer. The boys got me 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:49.639 my old u Berkener alarm being in skin. They got 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:52.440 me one day with with punk call. Oh yeah, yeah, 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:54.520 I can't remember what happened. We were talking about a 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:56.840 bunch of crap and I don't even know who I 0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:59.040 thought he was. And then finally you just kind of 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:03.079 catch on. Okay, that's going off the whales, you know, 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.079 And of course they were my alumni. Been in Scan 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.480 from from Bergner. Speaking of Switzer at the course, it's 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:13.800 either Texas OU weekend or OU Texas weekend, however you 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:16.640 want to praise it. So Berry headed down here, may 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:19.280 already be here for it, which rhinds me when you 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:25.560 the word that you use their mickey or that Barry used, 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:29.799 reminds me of an old story where gerald Ford that 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:33.560 switzerd talks about. Gerald Ford learned what it was like 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:36.040 coming down the ramp at the Cotton Bowl at an 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:39.360 Ou Texas game in nineteen seventy six. He was in 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:42.240 town for the coin flip and his Berry, Switzer, Daryl Royal, 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:45.080 and gerald Ford headed down the ramp to go flip 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:49.080 the coin, and Switzer tells the story. At OU. Fan 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:53.320 leans over the ray leg and says, he says, hey, 0:03:53.720 --> 0:04:01.240 who are those two a holes? Switzer? That's all you 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:08.680 need to know about the ramp. That's right, it's also Switcher, 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:15.240 So here we are. It's a fabulous by the way, 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:16.360 I do that. You think they would do that in 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:19.320 a big ten game Michigan and Ohio State or something 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:24.040 like that. In Yeah, he's Michigan. Yeah, Michigan man. Yeah, 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:26.680 that's one the one to how many, Yeah, the compensations 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:32.560 he's had. Yeah, that's a good one. He actually played correctly. Yeah. 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:36.240 So this is annually my favorite football weekend of the 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:39.200 year because of the game. And even when we're gonna 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.960 take our lumps, which is going to happen on Saturday, 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:45.240 here's a reason to tune in. The number one pick 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:47.640 in the draft is going to be playing quarterback for 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.320 the text not this year's number one, but an eventual 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:52.160 number one pick in the draft is going to be 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:54.960 playing quarterback for the Texas Longhorn. Maybe that would be 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:59.080 different game. Well, no, the difference in the game, it 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:02.920 doesn't matter whether he's playing or not. But we'll see 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:07.320 Quit being so negative. But have you seen our team 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:12.560 play the last couple of weeks. Yeappointed, But it's in 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:15.360 great hands with Brent Vnibles, I'll say that. But anyway, 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:18.279 so that's a reason to tune in at eleven am tomorrow. 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:20.839 This is, by the way, the only Big Twelve game 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:24.720 involving unranked teams. Every other all four of the other 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:28.640 Big Twelve games have ranked teams playing each other against 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:30.600 each other and the game of the day. Much to 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:35.440 your chagrined Mickey Spagnol, Kansas is unbeaten Kansas hosting unbeaten 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:39.000 TCU in college game days in Lawrence, Kansas fort for 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:43.479 the first time since two thousand and seven. Really I believe, 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:45.960 I'm okay, what is going on in Kansas? Man? They 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:48.239 are doing something. You know what. They got a bunch 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:54.000 of transfer portal guys from big schools and they're which 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:56.280 is how Sonny Dikes did it at this in Brianity. 0:05:56.400 --> 0:06:00.880 So what's the guy's name, Laypole light Phole exactly sure 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:03.200 how you pronounced last name, but he Lands is the 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:05.960 first name. He's done. He's done one heck of a job. 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:10.360 Ye got some players. Do mind me of a key 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:13.320 to Leeds Kansas squad. That's right back in the day 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:17.400 they were you know they well we talked about it, 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:21.200 uh maybe at the beginning of this week where they 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:25.000 went to the Orange Bowl fifteen years ago whatever when 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:33.120 they when the Big Twelve screwed Missouri over sent Kansas, Missouri, 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:37.080 Missouri beat Kansas. Okay, then Missouri went to the Big 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:40.560 Twelve championship game in lost Oklahoma Kansas. That was their 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:43.040 only loss of the year for Kansas. Kansas got to 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:45.600 go to the Orange Bowl. And where'd you guys go? 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:50.480 We went to the SEC You went to your doom. 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:53.000 You went to doom. No, we went where they were 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:56.000 going to pay some money and you go and then 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:59.600 you got doomed. Yeah, that's a great fight. Yeah, after 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:01.960 they went to the conference championship game. Hey, did you 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:07.080 watch any Thursday night football last night? I basically finished, 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:11.400 almost finished my Friday column last night watching that game. Okay, 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:15.520 I bet you did, because the watch to watch you 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:18.600 had no distractions? Whatsoe? So did they figure out when's 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:21.520 the last time there was an overtime game with no touchdowns? 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:26.800 I'm not sure. I'm not sure you know. Twelve to night. No, 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:30.559 I'm asking at one point, at one point in the game, 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:34.720 there was no touchdown. It was the first time this 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:37.600 year that there were no touchdowns scored in the first 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:42.480 half of a game. I remember them saying that, so, um, 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:48.720 twelve to nine, twelve to nine, And it was that 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:52.040 the game, the score makes it sound more exciting than 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:55.360 the game actually was. We just talked yesterday about one 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:58.400 of the greatest games in Cowboys history was a five 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:01.920 no nothing right playoff win over the Lions. And by 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.600 the way, Everson, you may remember this, that was two 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:07.400 weeks after the Cowboys beat Cleveland six to two in 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:09.520 a game which was another great guy. And then we 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:13.600 were talking about the Doomsday defense. You don't necessarily have 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:16.160 to score a lot of points to have a great 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:19.200 football game, as evidenced by that. But but this game, 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:22.160 this was not about defensive excellence. It was about just 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.920 offensive mishaps, ineptitude and ineptitude. Thank you. That's a good 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:29.400 word that wood Smith. I like that. And you know, 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:35.120 it was just so hard to watch. I mean, it's 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:37.840 like I was on the phone talking with someone and 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:41.160 I forgot that a game was actually looking at me. 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:43.360 You know, that's just how bad it was. It wasn't 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:46.400 even enough to be a distraction. The game went into 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:52.640 overtime and the Denver fans were streaming out of the stadium. 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:57.640 They didn't even stay for I don't blame them, because 0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:01.520 that's the last thing I wanted was for um guys 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.960 who they play with different play Seattle, for Seattle to 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:08.520 come down and kick that field Indiana the coast. I 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.199 was thinking, Wilson for the coast to come down to 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:14.480 kick that. Yeah, I did not want that when they 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:17.400 started driving down, Like, man, this game is not going 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:19.920 into overtime. What's sitting there going They're on mountain time. 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:21.880 They don't have to get home for the news, the 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:26.000 news at ten o'clock. I'll tell you what do you 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:29.840 think They're sort of starting to rethink that trade for 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:33.000 Russell Wilson. Well, you know you can trade for Russell, 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:36.120 but get him some help, because I can see why 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.640 Russell came there. You're looking at what Cooper Rush is 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:42.840 doing right now, and really even Aaron Rodgers, you're going 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.040 to allow you you're playing to your defense, like Nate 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:48.440 always talking, You're playing to your defense, right. Russell came 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:51.000 there thinking we got a heck of a defense here. 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:53.080 Really could be one of the best defenses in the 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:55.959 in the at least in the conference. And they can 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:58.880 they can help me ride along until we get our 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:02.880 offensive scheme to togeather in the meantime defense you hold 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.439 it down, and they did. He came there. Yeah, but 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:09.520 offensively they still have so much well injuries obviously the 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:11.760 running backs going down. I think a couple offensive lineman 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:15.720 went down, and now You're sitting there with a horrible 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:18.440 offense and the defense is that kind of what's that 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:20.960 side eye? The defense is given the offensive side eye, 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:25.040 like what the hell you guys wide receiver kJ Hamdler 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:27.600 is giving the Russell Wilson the side I heard about 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:31.000 that about that, well he was was that number one. 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:33.600 He was wide open on the road was wide open. 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:37.880 Now having said that, go ahead, everything I saw Russell 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:41.840 was forced to go to the left. My man was 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:43.559 coming from there and we don't we don't know what 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:46.040 the reeds were. I mean, but he was looking left 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:49.439 the whole time. Well, he had no choice because everything 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:52.840 was was was convoluted on the on the right side. 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:54.920 He couldn't He couldn't have made that though if he 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.960 wanted to. First of all, he's only five ten, right 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:01.640 something like that. Whatever those lines, there was a guy 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:04.680 up in his first two guys that were really coming, 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:08.559 and so he couldn't even see the guy. And then 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:10.960 when he threw it, I think he couldn't even see where. 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.800 It was too late then like maybe run the ball. 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:17.040 Well it was too late then the ball Okay, all right, 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:20.760 which gets back to how about and we're not going 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:25.920 to dissect the whole game of the time. But how 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:31.360 about the decision by Nathani'll hack it. It's fourth and one. 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:35.080 Your offense has been awful all day, if not all season, 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:39.640 especially in Indianapolis offense has also been awful all day, 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:44.440 if not all season. Okay, you're down three, You've got 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:47.520 two timeouts left, with over two minutes left in the game, 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:52.560 and maybe three you've left. Okay, I think maybe whatever 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:55.040 it was, Okay, you got the two timeouts and a 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:57.920 two minute one, yes, okay, yes, all right, so you 0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:01.360 basically have three timeouts. You got two minute one, two timeouts. Okay, 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:05.319 go ahead, kick the field goal, make it a tie game, 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:09.160 and then kick off. Rely on your defense to get 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:12.320 a three and out, and you use your timeouts and 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:14.640 didn't try to kick a field goal to win the game. 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:16.960 You're in the Mile High City where you can kick 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:19.280 field goals from sixty yards. Right, started the way the 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:22.720 Colts did to tie it up, right, But why didn't 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:26.480 a thing you'll hack it not do that? It goes 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:30.239 back to the first game of the year in Seattle. 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:33.760 That's when he decided to kick a sixty yard field 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:35.920 goal that was no good and not put the football 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.439 in the hands of his three hundred million dollars quarterback. 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:45.440 Now the most time he made this decision, because, by golly, 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:48.679 I'm putting it in the hands of quarter You wanted it, 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:53.160 you got And my what I exclaimed when I saw 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:57.880 that play, that's the best play you've got, exactly with 0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:00.679 Russell Wilson. Yeah, and that's the problem. You're gonna use 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:03.920 your Superman, but you're using it you you don't use 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:06.480 him in the proper manner. That's a whole different thing now. 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:10.760 And now he's got a offensive assistant upstairs. That's right 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:14.560 with veteran advice. Well that came from the first game 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:17.800 of the week. Yeah, that's right, right, and the second 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:21.800 week there's also I can't I wouldn't watching the second week, 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:24.920 but against Houston, the similar content. And that's when they 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:28.800 all goes back to what Parcels would say, whatever works 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:37.480 was the right decision. That sure it didn't work, you 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:40.480 gotta make it whatever you call I believe it's what 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:43.400 he's trying to say. How good does the Tyler Smith 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:48.360 draft pick looking for the Cowboys right now? Yeah? Baby? 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:51.840 And how much criticism did the Cowboys get making that draft? 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:56.400 A whole lot especially from this guy over here. No, 0:13:57.120 --> 0:14:01.360 come on, man, because you were the one that said 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:06.079 they took a guard and I said, no, Smith, that's 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:09.600 but they didn't take a guard tack who was gonna 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:12.720 play guard first? And then Tyring got hurt? All right, 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:17.199 if you don't take Tyler Smith at twenty three or 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:20.920 whatever it was in the first round, okay, the Cowboys pick, okay, 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:25.320 all right, the next offensive tackle you probably would take 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:27.840 would be the guy that was out there for Indianapolis 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:33.040 by Raymond. Raymond. Oh, that's what everybody wanted him. He 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.960 was he was the third round pick. Yeah. Actually there's 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:38.920 a guy Seattle took, Abraham Lucas in the third round, 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:43.120 who was playing great at right tackle for Seattle early 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:48.440 this season. Tyler smiths playing left exactly you left, and 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:50.680 Seattle took a left tackle with their first round pick. 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:55.320 Right top ten, so cross so, but that that is 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:57.960 what the Cowboys were looking at on their draftboard once 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:02.280 Trevor Penning went now Orleans at nineteen or whatever. And 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:05.200 now they're looking at their draft war going okay, and 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:08.040 they had Tyler Smith rated higher than than were they 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.760 took him, right, okay, And now you see, rightly, so 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:13.920 the way he's playing through the first four games of 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:17.400 his career. And but if they didn't take that guy, 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:21.400 that's what you were left with. What Indianapolis was playing 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:24.200 out there at left tackle, who ended up getting their 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:28.160 quarterback sack six times. He was under siege the whole game, 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:31.480 the whole game, and they were missing their center. Ryan 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:37.160 Kelly was out too, Richard, which, by the way, remember 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:39.560 I told you about last Thursday night's game and I 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:43.000 wasn't sure who was all on their their panel the 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:46.480 post game, and I said, one guy was totally out 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:50.560 of control, yea, Richard Sherman. Yeah, he was totally out 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:54.920 of control last night. He was screaming. You know why 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:59.920 he was screaming. I know, because he remembered the super bow. 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:02.760 Well got oh yeah, that could be a point. But 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:07.000 my point is this. He was criticized heavily for being 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:15.040 uh suspiciously quiet through the whole to concussion thing. No, 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:17.160 well they well, they were saying that he should have 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:19.680 said this was his moment you're talking last week, last 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:22.520 last week, this was his moment to say more. And 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:26.480 he was highly criticized by a couple of sportswriters. And 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:28.960 I think he was trying to really make up for 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:31.240 that thank you over last week. He overdid it. I 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:34.360 probably when I couldn't hear him, but I saw him 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:37.240 talking a lot. He's trying to he's trying to compensate. 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:39.400 He's over compensation. I mean, he was ready to come 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:43.040 out come through my TV screen. Yeah, And at one 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:46.560 point Fitzpatrick had to go over there and whisper in 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:48.760 his ear and I think he was telling him, you 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:51.400 need to settle down. That's that's I'm just telling you. 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:55.920 That's an over compensation for not saying enough about toa 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:58.360 and the things that went on with him last week. 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:01.080 So and we gotta breaks, so we don't have time 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:03.560 to really well, we'll do this when we come back, 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:08.280 all right, Cooper Rush one of the best things that 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:11.119 he has done. What is the best thing that Cooper 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:16.080 Rush has done since taking over as the starting quarterback? 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:19.640 When we come besides win games?

All right, and we continue with 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:51.800 mix shots here on a fabulous football Friday. What is 0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:55.760 the best thing that Cooper Rush has done besides win games? 0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:59.560 That has enabled this team to win games? Who wants 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:03.560 to go for I will lack of turnovers? Oh that 0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:10.639 was mine? Because you're smart lack of turnovers. Okay, actually, okay, 0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:13.000 let's make it. Let's make it he had a turnover. 0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:17.200 Let's make it the top two things that he has done. 0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:20.000 Because I will agree with you on the turnovers. Yeah, 0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:22.080 I guess the term that would be low hanging fruit 0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:25.520 if we can all figure that one out. I don't 0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:27.840 having a second answer for you, but I will say 0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:32.000 that it overcomes our inability on third downs, you know, 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:36.720 not not having those turnovers. This isn't my suggestion is 0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:42.800 in concert with his offensive line that is avoiding the sack. Interesting. Yeah, 0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:45.359 you look at last night's game Matt Ryan six sacks 0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:48.480 fifty one yards and the hidden yardage that comes with that. 0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:52.480 And Stafford last week or Monday night against the Rams, 0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:56.240 I've got sacks seven times. That was not a productive game. 0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:58.560 They didn't score a touchdown in that game. Let's see, 0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:00.879 Matt Ryan did not score a touchdown in last night's 0:21:00.880 --> 0:21:04.000 game getting sacked six times. We saw it with Burrow 0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:06.399 the first couple of weeks of the season where he 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:09.480 got sacked six and seven times. Have we been have 0:21:09.600 --> 0:21:13.560 we been let off the hook? Because I don't recall 0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:16.600 and maybe it's just because our offensive line is so 0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:21.240 good at this point. I don't recall him being inundated 0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:25.040 while he's in the in the pottom so I don't 0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:29.720 see many are they laying back playing zone on Cooper West? 0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:32.320 Because I don't see many blitzes at all. You haven't 0:21:32.359 --> 0:21:35.080 seen many all out blitzes where he's just under the 0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:36.920 rest like that. I think it might be a game 0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:41.639 plan too that's helping him out. You know the fact 0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:44.720 that they are. I mean, even against Washington, what was it, 0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:47.280 how many yards of carry? The Cowboys get three yards 0:21:47.280 --> 0:21:51.560 of carry but they barely yeah, but they still twenty 0:21:51.640 --> 0:21:57.639 s yes, yes, or twenty sixth. It is the a 0:21:57.840 --> 0:22:03.320 similar offensive scheme and play calling that what the Cowboys 0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:07.520 had when Dac was a rookie in twenty sixteen. I 0:22:07.640 --> 0:22:09.840 think I don't think they feel any pressure to have 0:22:09.920 --> 0:22:12.640 him live up to his contract, but I think that 0:22:13.520 --> 0:22:17.480 they rely so much on his ability to pass us 0:22:17.480 --> 0:22:21.320 out of trouble that it's just in. I love how 0:22:21.359 --> 0:22:24.160 you said that it's just in calling Moore's DNA. First 0:22:24.160 --> 0:22:26.520 of all, it's hard to get that out of him 0:22:26.640 --> 0:22:31.320 right now. I think he's fighting with himself at every game, 0:22:31.359 --> 0:22:33.919 with every game plan because he wants to do a 0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:38.520 certain thing, but it's contrary to our success because right 0:22:38.560 --> 0:22:42.000 now we are better off with a more conservative game plan, 0:22:42.040 --> 0:22:45.000 which is not his style, especially with the defense that 0:22:45.080 --> 0:22:47.919 he has. Okay, it's hard for him to play to that. 0:22:48.320 --> 0:22:52.879 You know what, McCarthy had a pretty good comment towards 0:22:52.880 --> 0:22:55.040 the end of his press conference today. He was talking 0:22:55.080 --> 0:22:59.520 about that you got to have big plays, and he said, 0:22:59.560 --> 0:23:05.120 we treat big plays as big fundamentals. He goes, when 0:23:05.160 --> 0:23:07.800 you go into game, I got six fundamentals that you 0:23:07.880 --> 0:23:10.439 have to hit and one of them is big plays. 0:23:10.480 --> 0:23:14.480 And when he calls when he mentioned big plays, he 0:23:14.920 --> 0:23:22.600 mentioned that it was like chunk plays on offense, sacks, turnovers, 0:23:23.119 --> 0:23:26.040 things like that, that all goes into big plays. And 0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:29.119 he said, you want to have thirty a game, and 0:23:29.240 --> 0:23:33.120 he said this last game, we had thirty one, right, Yeah, 0:23:33.160 --> 0:23:37.800 And you know he's talking about whatever the whole thing is. 0:23:37.840 --> 0:23:41.159 But he said, that's what this NFL has come down to, 0:23:41.200 --> 0:23:44.439 because they got into about what's going on with the 0:23:44.560 --> 0:23:47.720 lack of scoring in the league. And you know, he 0:23:47.800 --> 0:23:52.439 was talking about the trends that defenses now are playing 0:23:52.600 --> 0:23:56.280 more scheme on first and second down. Before it was oh, 0:23:56.400 --> 0:23:58.880 you go into nickel on third down back in the day. 0:23:59.040 --> 0:24:02.440 Right right now, it's like they're they're concentrating on first 0:24:02.440 --> 0:24:06.800 and second down, which is making third down more difficult. 0:24:07.480 --> 0:24:12.160 Um And and he said, they're they're just scheming more 0:24:12.280 --> 0:24:15.600 to be more aggressive on on those downs. And you 0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:18.720 got a lot of young quarterbacks now playing sooner than 0:24:19.400 --> 0:24:22.480 maybe guys did in the day, right they're not ready. 0:24:23.080 --> 0:24:26.600 And then and we've talked about it all week, I think, 0:24:26.680 --> 0:24:29.760 or last week about just the problems teams are having 0:24:29.840 --> 0:24:33.399 on the offensive line, the offensive linemen. You know, just 0:24:33.840 --> 0:24:37.840 that is the main problem with every team, right offensive line. 0:24:37.880 --> 0:24:41.280 How many offensive linemen? A battle of attrition between offensive 0:24:41.359 --> 0:24:43.960 linemen in the league. That's cocy And I think those 0:24:44.000 --> 0:24:48.920 guys are the ones that are hindered by the rules 0:24:49.320 --> 0:24:53.200 we have now in the off season because offensive line 0:24:53.280 --> 0:24:56.840
