This is Mick Shot 3 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 1: screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the official 4 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys at now. Here are Bill Jones, Everson Wolves, 5 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:32,840 Speaker 1: and Mickey Spagnola. Here it is. It's twenty twenty one. 6 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: The good news is we made it through twenty twenty. 7 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,880 Speaker 1: It's now twenty twenty one, and it officially became twenty 8 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: twenty one for the Dallas Cowboys about three o'clock Dallas 9 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,279 Speaker 1: time on a little after three o'clock Dallas time on 10 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon. And here we are for another edition of 11 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: Mick Shots to break it all down. Bill Jones, Everson Walls, 12 00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 1: Mickey Spagnola inside the SWBC Mortgage studios there at boards 13 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: Center at the Start in Fresco, which is a very 14 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,639 Speaker 1: busy place as it always is on the day after 15 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,759 Speaker 1: the season. Maybe not as not the same layout as 16 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: in past years, of course, because of the environment that 17 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 1: we are all in here, we are it's a it's 18 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: a new year, and I guess we'll start with you, Mickey. 19 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,639 Speaker 1: It's it was a disappointing twenty twenty in more ways 20 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: than one. But that doesn't take long. The team flips 21 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: the page to the new year. Thank God for a 22 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: new year, right, couldn't get here fast enough, although three 23 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: days in the new year bled back into twenty twenty. 24 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: I think for the Cowboys on how that final game 25 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: turned out, I thought the game was a reflection. Just 26 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: that game was a reflection of everything that took place 27 00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys in twenty twenty, from slow starts to 28 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: a defense not playing well enough, to an offensive line 29 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: not playing well enough, to the Cowboys inability to score 30 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: touchdowns in the red zone. We can go on and on, 31 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: but I thought Mike McCarthy hit the nail right on 32 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: the head after the game when he said the game 33 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: was a microcosm of the entire season, And I think 34 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: it was. It was very obvious. You know, I've always 35 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 1: looked at guys that when you get into the playoffs, 36 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: and I know this wasn't technically a playoff game, but 37 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: it was sort of a playoff game. And when you 38 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: get beat a lot of times your warts get exposed 39 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: in games like that in Winter else games, and I thought, 40 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: no matter the three game winning streak, the Cowboys warts 41 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: got exposed by the Giants not giving themselves to hang 42 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: in there to see what the inevitable end was it 43 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: going to be with Washington playing Philadelphia, which was maybe 44 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: one of the worst games I think I've ever watched, 45 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: and I thought the only justice for this year would 46 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: have been Philadelphia winning and the three teams tying for 47 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: first place at six and ten. That would have been 48 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: justice for this season. I thought it was just me. 49 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: It was so I was so disinterested in how they played, 50 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: of course interested in in the outcome itself, but the 51 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: performance on the field as well as the performance on 52 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: the sideline. Somebody tell me what the hell coach Peterson 53 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: was thinking. I mean when he makes the move to 54 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: take hurtside of the game. Not only did he look 55 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: foolish in the game, he even more foolish trying to 56 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: explain it at the press conference after the game. It 57 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: just didn't look good. It wasn't a good look at all. 58 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: His explanations sounded made up, and he sounded like he 59 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: sounded like the kid that got his hand cart in 60 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: the cookie jar. He just started railing and just basically 61 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 1: flailing with explanations that had nothing to do with why 62 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 1: you didn't try and finish that game and win that game. 63 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if he had a bet. I mean, 64 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: I don't know if he had an arrangement. I don't 65 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: know what the hell was going on. But almost if 66 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: he got a call from the President and said, look, 67 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: you're losing this game today, I don't even try. You're 68 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: too close. Well, and you know you got a Black 69 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: Sox scandal going on here? What the hell? But that 70 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 1: was the most unusual game I had ever seen, and 71 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: I had the exact same feeling. I felt like I 72 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: needed to go take a shower after what in that 73 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: And but it was it was evident on the last 74 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 1: play of the game. If anyone had any any wonderment 75 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: over what he was doing, it was evident on the 76 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: very last play of the game when Nate Sudfelt, instead 77 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: of throwing deep, throws a little pass about five yards 78 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: in front of the line of scrimmage and the receiver 79 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 1: made no effort to even lateral the ball. They had 80 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: every intention they showed up and played in the first half, 81 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: but at a certain point they had every intention to 82 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 1: get the highest draft but the best draft pick they 83 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: could possibly have. And the other part of it is, 84 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: and I can see this a little bit. I mean, 85 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: if if Jalen Hurts is going to be your quarterback 86 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: going forward in twenty twenty one against Chase Young in 87 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: that Washington defense, the worst thing that could possibly happen 88 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: for the Philadelphia Eagles on that day was Jalen Hurts 89 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 1: getting hurt in that game. And so I'm thinking that's 90 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: why he pulled Hurts from the game. But uh, and 91 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: also uh, he'd had no intention of winning that game 92 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: because um, you know, they get a better draft pick. 93 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,919 Speaker 1: It's almost as if a memo was passed around to 94 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: certain people. You know, everyone didn't know about it. You know, 95 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: we'll just tell the quarterback, We'll just tell the young quarterback, 96 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: and we'll tell the receivers. Okay, guys, the fix is in. 97 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: You know. It was it was. It was. It was 98 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: like you said it was. It was slimmy. It was 99 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: a little slimy, Bill, It was a little slim So 100 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: what if the Cowboys had won over the Giants and 101 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: we're all sitting there watching thinking, Okay, Philadelphia is gonna 102 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: legitimately give this a shot, and you know, Hurts probably 103 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: wouldn't even played in the game at all. If the 104 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: if the Cowboys were gonna make the play opposite if 105 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: the Eagles won that game, but he would have done 106 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 1: it if he would have done it, if the Cowboys 107 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: would have won that game, and he would have done 108 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: it's in the same manner that he did it. We 109 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 1: will be looking at an internal investigation right now in 110 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: the NFL. We d d the d J, I'm sorry, 111 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: the DJ would be down here just so quick, you know, 112 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: and Jerry Jones would be the one on the other 113 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: end of the phone call. So man, we would we 114 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: would have send us to the Supreme Court because at 115 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: something might listen to that one at some point, and 116 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: at some point there's gonna be a sweetheart trade between 117 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: Washington and Philadelphia. You watch, Yeah, one of those those 118 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: backdoor deals, right, and that what they called the back 119 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: room deal. That's one of those backroom deals. And pace 120 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: you know, how was it last year or the year 121 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: before when when uh, when Andy Dalton led Cincinnati to 122 00:07:54,640 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: that win in Buffalo, fans all uh contributed to his charity, right, 123 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: I don't I don't know what Philadelphia's charity is. Bet 124 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: I bet to the Washington fans are doing to it 125 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: to day. Yeah, yeah, anyway, and they have the and 126 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: and so they win the right to host Tom Brady 127 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers UH this coming weekend. All right, 128 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: back to the task at hand, which is us dissecting 129 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: what happened to the Cowboys on Sunday, And we won't 130 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: have time to get to the entire season. We can 131 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 1: start on that tomorrow. But how about how about we 132 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: start with UH what everyone was talking about after the game, 133 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: the decision by Mike McCarthy not to challenge the UH 134 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: catch by Dante Pettus on the third down play UH 135 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: and the Giants subsequently kicking the fifty yard field goal 136 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: they gave him a four point lead. What what do 137 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: y'all think of that? Go ahead? Go ahead it Okay, 138 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: I'll go, I'll go. No, I'll go, I'll go. Yeah. 139 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: I I still don't know if that would be overturned. 140 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,439 Speaker 1: I looked at it. I looked at it, and I 141 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: wanted so badly to say that this would easily be 142 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: overturned if it would have been called incomplete. That play 143 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,119 Speaker 1: would have stood the fact that that play was called complete. 144 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: I truly believe at this situation, the Cowboys just don't 145 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: get those breaks. Okay, back to me, I think they 146 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: would have come back and said, uh, cowboys lost the challenge, 147 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: and now you're down another time out. You had three, 148 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: you were working well with your three timeouts. We would 149 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: have been in an even more dangerous position. With two timeouts, 150 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: we would have had even lesser chance on that last drive. 151 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: Tough to risk right there. And you know how McCarthy is. 152 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: He's been gambling so much early in the season and 153 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,079 Speaker 1: it cost us some games. This was not the time 154 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 1: for him to make a risky challenge like that. I 155 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: thought he did a good job at just kind of 156 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 1: laying off of it, keeping that red flag in his pocket. See, 157 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: I absolutely agree with you, and I thought maybe I 158 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: was nuts. So that's why I was hoping somebody was 159 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: going to back me up, because look, here's what happened. 160 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: I just he could have challenged it, and maybe he 161 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: should have in the circumstance it was in, but he 162 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: wasn't gonna win it. They weren't going to overturn that call. 163 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 1: No way they were going to overturn it because it 164 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: was called to catch on the field, and you know 165 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: how defensive players react when they see the ball it 166 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,559 Speaker 1: should be incomplete. No one really did that. The Cowboy 167 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: players were like, okay, caught it. And then when they 168 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: showed it, and they showed it three times and did 169 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: the ball hit the ground, Yes, but he still had 170 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: possession of it, and I just I don't think it 171 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: would have been I don't think it would have been overturned. 172 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: And so everybody's and here's what happened. Joe Buck and 173 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: Troy Aikman gave everybody a license to jump on the 174 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: band and whoever, who a pre or whoever, yeah, whoever 175 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: it was, they gave everybody a license to go. Yeah, 176 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:44,119 Speaker 1: see he should have done that and give the excuse 177 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: because the Cowboys never win a game, lose a game, right, 178 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: there's always a reason why they lose, and so it 179 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: gave everybody an excuse to hammer on something that was okay, 180 00:11:55,400 --> 00:12:01,439 Speaker 1: was it significant? Okay, fine, right, But you weren't assured 181 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: if you got that and they punted that you were 182 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: going to drive down and kick a field goal, right, 183 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,599 Speaker 1: And even if you did get into position to kick it, 184 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean he was gonna make it. So we're 185 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 1: assuming all this stuff when the facts of the matter 186 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: were the Cowboys weren't good enough to win the game. 187 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: Playing and simple they weren't good enough on the offensive line. 188 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: They weren't good enough on defense, giving up twenty three 189 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: points to a team that had scored no more than 190 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:37,199 Speaker 1: nineteen in their last five games. They allowed their quarterback 191 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: to get sacked six times by a defense that had 192 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: two sacks in their last three games. He got hit 193 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: nine times, and they had nine tackles for losses. Think 194 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: about that. They only ran the ball twenty seven times, 195 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: so a third of the times they ran the ball 196 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: it was for a loss. So let's look at the 197 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: real facts on why they didn't win the game instead 198 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: of coming up with some Kakamini reason for the loss 199 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: in blaming on not challenging a call that was not 200 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 1: going to be overturned. And that's the things fags. I mean, 201 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: the guy, a ball can still hit the ground after 202 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: the defensive back or the player had control of it. 203 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: You know, just because it hits the ground, it doesn't 204 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: mean that that's what allowed the defensive player to complete 205 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: the catch. All he needed to do was show that 206 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:44,079 Speaker 1: that ball stopped spinning, it stopped moving almost simultaneously to 207 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 1: when it hit the ground. And to me, that could 208 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: have easily been deciphered during that a proposed challenge and 209 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: he would have lost it. I think they would have 210 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: lost it. I think the referee would have been extremely 211 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: hesitant to say, Okay, we have to overrule this. And 212 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:07,079 Speaker 1: that's the key, guys. It was called a catch first, 213 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: so for them to overrule it, it had to be 214 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: something extremely clear and to me, and you know this 215 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: is coming from a guy. I got robbed like that 216 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: in the championship game against the Redskins, and it was 217 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: one of the best interceptions I never made. I mean, 218 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: I did some kind of stuff. I don't know how 219 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: I did what I did. It was overthrown to Charlie Brown. 220 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: It was gonna go behind me somehow. I dropped, hit 221 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: my butt, turned around in one motion and caught it. 222 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: But they said, as I turned around and caught it 223 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: and I did my revolution, that the ball hit the ground. 224 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: I was the most angrous I've ever been in a 225 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: football game, because first I was a championship game. We 226 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: end up losing that game, and I knew we had 227 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: a It was a tough time for us to win 228 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: that game. So it was because that ball. They said 229 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: that that ball, the round stopped the ball's momentum. I 230 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: said that my hands stopped it. They said, no, so 231 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: tough to overturn. Guys, it's I've been a victim of that. 232 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: And boy, if you if you take that challenge and 233 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: guess what happens and you lose that challenge, then everybody's 234 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: gonna be on the other side, you know, say this 235 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: guy's too aggressive, so that in that situation. Coach McCarthy 236 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: is in the no win situation. Bill, What did you think? Well, 237 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: I agree wholeheartedly with you on what you're said. What 238 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: you said about the network announcers buck In Ekman, and 239 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: I think it may have been Blandino. I'm not sure 240 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: who the official was in the booth. It's amazing how 241 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: many times the narrative gets established, not only in the 242 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: postgame talk shows and throughout the week and with questions 243 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: post to coaches and players after the game, especially in 244 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: this environment where the reporters are all listening to the 245 00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: network broadcast. If they are assertive and their statement that, oh, 246 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: he should have challenged it, he should have challenged it, 247 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: that becomes the narrative. Whatever. Okay, the only thing I 248 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: will say about it is I did not and I 249 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: agree with you on the merits of the challenge. In 250 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: the big picture of the last six minutes of that game, though, 251 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: I just didn't have a good feeling that the Cowboys 252 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: were going to be able to put the football in 253 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: the end zone. I didn't think they were going to 254 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: score a touchdown because they hadn't shown the ability to 255 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: do it. They scored obviously once earlier in the game, 256 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: but they hadn't shown the ability to once they got 257 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: down into the red zone. Especially so in my mind 258 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: as I was thinking that through at the moment, I'm thinking, 259 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: you know what, this might be their best chance to 260 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: win this game, and just grasping at straws to go 261 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: ahead and challenge that where they don't get a four 262 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: point lead on you and make it a field goal 263 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: game down the stretch. That was just my only feeling 264 00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: on it was I didn't have confidence in the offense scoring. 265 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 1: And you think about it, the fact that McCarthy wanted 266 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,400 Speaker 1: to make sure he kept his timeouts. I don't think 267 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 1: he had confidence that the Cowboys are going to put 268 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 1: the ball in the end Zoe, that he was going 269 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: to need those timeouts even after their next possession at 270 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,959 Speaker 1: the end of the game because they'd be behind and 271 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: need it to in order to come back and win 272 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: the game, sort of like sort of like when you're 273 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: trailing by four points and you try a fake punt 274 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: from your own twenty three yard line because the head 275 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: coach doesn't think the head coach doesn't think we can 276 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: stop them, so I better steal a possession right here, 277 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 1: you know. Okay, everybody, it's a bonehead decision. I get it. 278 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: But I understand what he was doing. The other thing 279 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: that I think went on. I don't know that he 280 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 1: got a look at it on the video board. And 281 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 1: for my understanding of what was going on, they weren't 282 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: showing any many replays on their video board, and they 283 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: sure as hell didn't want to show that, right because 284 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: even the Giants were like, oh, we better get through 285 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, you know, and kick this thing 286 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: right away as soon as we can. Uh So, yeah, 287 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 1: I'm not sure, and I'm not And so the TV 288 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: broadcast showed three replays right away before he kicked it. 289 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if the coaches booth gets those that fast. 290 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: I'm just not sure on you know, what, the intel 291 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 1: was down to the sideline, But it didn't sound like 292 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: it didn't sound like he was talking to anybody at 293 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: that time, So I think I think people on the 294 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: sideline thought, yeah, it was a catch, so um, I 295 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: just and it was. And by the way, Chris, Chris 296 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: pointed out, it was Pereira who was the analyst. Pere okay, 297 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 1: And and let's be real, guys, you don't want to 298 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: make just like we did with the fake punt in 299 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 1: our own back back backed up in our own side 300 00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: of the field into the field. You don't want to 301 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 1: make a death decision. You know, you don't want to 302 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: make a decision like that under a desperate situation because 303 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: then you know that that never turns out. Well, he 304 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: wanted to stay within the moment. He wanted to stay 305 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 1: focused on what the plan was, and keeping those three 306 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: timeouts was more important because, as you guys said, the 307 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: Giants were very stubborn defensively. So we didn't really feel 308 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 1: good about how can I say, harpooning ourselves by losing 309 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: a challenge and now you've got one less bullet than 310 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: your gun in regards to your timeouts. I thought it 311 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: was a good no no challenge by coach McCarthy. Yeah, 312 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: in the moment, he's got to make each got to 313 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: make that call on whether the challenge on the merits 314 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: of that play, not on the other stuff that that 315 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: I was even talking about a moment ago. All right, 316 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 1: we continue with more mix shots in just a moment. 317 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 1: Hey there, Cowboys fans with Type Cleaners home pickup and delivery, 318 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: cleaning your clothes has never been more convenient.

What were your general feelings. Yeah, 356 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: I hate it when the season ends every year, and 357 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 1: yesterday it was to me, it was a depressing day. 358 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: You know, this game ends, Okay, I don't really want 359 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: to watch these other games. I'm sitting there. I got 360 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 1: those Christmas lights outside. I'm like, okay, I went out 361 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: and took my Christmas lights down, and so so that 362 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: was depressing too. Now it's the end of the holidays 363 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: and now reality sets in. It's back to work on Monday, 364 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: and we got no no Cowboys until August, as far 365 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: as hopefully we got some games in August. And so 366 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 1: that was the way I felt by six o'clock yesterday afternoon, 367 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 1: and I felt worse well after I watched the Washington 368 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 1: Philadelphia game, and that's when I decided to take a 369 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 1: shower when I got finished with work last night. It 370 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 1: was so anti climactic the entire evening yesterday. You know, 371 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: I've been using this show and you know, the Cowboys 372 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: researchers as an excuse not to finish my renovations in 373 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: my home. You got to do that, You got no excuse. 374 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: So we had a long talk last night. Yeah, I 375 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:54,400 Speaker 1: have to start making my schedule out accordingly. Now we're 376 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: just going to one show a week, so I will 377 00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: have so much extra time to do things that needed 378 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: around the house. But at the same time, I hate 379 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: it when we lose games, and that's usually the Cowboy. 380 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,159 Speaker 1: You know, when we saw the Cardinals game, we are 381 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: blown out. Okay, boom. We could always point to those 382 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: critical moments where okay, we could have won, we could 383 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 1: have done this, but you know, we got blown out. 384 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 1: This these kinds of games to where you know, here 385 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: we are, guys, all right, you know, let's go, let's go. 386 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: Here we go. You know, let's make the moves. Don't 387 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 1: do this, don't do that, do this, do that? All 388 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: right here we don't looking good, looking good? Oh what 389 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,640 Speaker 1: the hell are you? You know what I'm saying. I 390 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: hate those kind of games because then there's this what 391 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 1: if that just hangs around you, you know, and like 392 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: Spat said, it was a Michael Cosmo about season. So 393 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 1: you know, realistically, what happens if we win this game? 394 00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, realistically, you know, do we come 395 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:01,919 Speaker 1: do do we just all of a sudden use that 396 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: momentum rise up and then we're gonna beat Tom Brady. 397 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: Now we're legitimizes, you know, all of it enough. No, no, 398 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:12,919 Speaker 1: that that was a bit unrealistic. But at the same time, 399 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,719 Speaker 1: we were still brought to that break of hope, you know, 400 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,719 Speaker 1: And that's what I hate, being brought to that brink 401 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: of hope and then just having those hopes dashed with 402 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:30,360 Speaker 1: really what I thought was an unnecessary, desperate move from 403 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: a quarterback who was doing decent, not doing too well, 404 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: but doing decent enough doing the entire ball game, and 405 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 1: who was really turning the second half around because of 406 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,399 Speaker 1: what he did or didn't do in the first half. 407 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: So the momentum was on his side. He just had 408 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: to stay more poised, which is, I know, tough to 409 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,919 Speaker 1: do when you've got big Blue coming, you know, breathing 410 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: down your neck all the time and breaking through our 411 00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: offensive linemen. But yeah, I had problem making a sense 412 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: of the first half of Andy Dalton. I just didn't 413 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 1: understand what was going on. You know. First I said 414 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: it is the ball. He was just it was astonishing 415 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: how off he was and and it looked like that. 416 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: It looked like you the movies how they have the fan, 417 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: the big fan that can blow it blow and make 418 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:28,919 Speaker 1: it feel like you're in the hurricane. Felt like he 419 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: had that in his face the whole game, Like where's 420 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: he that one passed through? That one passing through to 421 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: the side. It was like it was like ten feet 422 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 1: over the guy's head. It's like what And the ball 423 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 1: was coming out of his right hand badly. It was 424 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 1: coming out weird, and I was like, what is going on? 425 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,959 Speaker 1: And then it turned it around the second half spite 426 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: getting his left hand stepped on, and that's when he 427 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 1: ain't better. Yeah, all of a sudden he's playing better. Then. 428 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 1: I'm surprised he's holding on to the ball. But I mean, 429 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 1: you know, let's look at this like we always look 430 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: at Dak. I like to give him the same type 431 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: of deal. Tough, tough game for for Dalton because at 432 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 1: one point man he could have thrown him at least 433 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: two pick sixes, at least at least sexes. Yeah. Yeah, 434 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about just in the sception. I'm talking 435 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: about no one stopping this guy, it's gonna be a touchdown. 436 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: You know. Those are the kind of things that really 437 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 1: gave me pause in the first half just seeing him 438 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: be that inaccurate, as well as the misses. He had 439 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: about three misses as well that really could have just 440 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 1: turned this game around. And we gotta we gotta say it, 441 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: you know, Bill, I mean, I love you, you know, 442 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: I'm oh you man, just like you. I'm not texts, 443 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: I'm O you. But we're not even talking about any 444 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:03,439 Speaker 1: of this. If I a boy just holds on to 445 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: the ball he's getting Ceedee Lamb because he had a 446 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: little they had a little interference in front of him. 447 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 1: It would have been a great play for the Giants 448 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 1: to stop him at the three yard line on that play. 449 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: That's what I truly believe. The way he's able to 450 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: run the ball and manipulate himself for a few extra yards, 451 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb would have caught that ball and would have 452 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,160 Speaker 1: at least gotten inside the five yard line. So it's 453 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: all said and done. If he makes that play. We 454 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,120 Speaker 1: got a whole different attitude this morning as we talk 455 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: on Mike us. And that's the that's the crazy thing, 456 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: and and and and that stuff gets overlooked because what 457 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: was it was first in goal at the seven if 458 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: I'm right, yeah, first in goal at the seven, and 459 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: and they get they get the first play. Um, I'm 460 00:28:55,200 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: trying to find it here to make sure I'm right. Yeah, 461 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 1: first and goal at the seven, one fifty three left. 462 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: And what happens, Oh, of course he gets sacked by 463 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 1: Williams right who they didn't block the entire game. Second 464 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 1: down in seventeen. Yeah, he hits lamb and he drops 465 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: it and it's like, no, you didn't drop it. And 466 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: then now you're third down. No immediate interference at all. 467 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: And and and Alan Dalton said after the game, and 468 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 1: I give him credit. He goes, in hindsight, I wish 469 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 1: I had it back. I didn't need to do that. 470 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: But I was thinking maybe he thought, well, it's gonna 471 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: be third down and goal from the seventeen. I've got 472 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: to throw the ball twenty yards into the end zone. 473 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: I'll never have time for my receivers to get that 474 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: far downfield before somebody's in my face because sometimes they 475 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: just chose not to block the guy off the right side, right, 476 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: And he makes an excuse for his offensive line. Well, 477 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 1: that was my guy. Well the guy that was double 478 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: teaming inside. It's like, well what about that guy? Oh? 479 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: Remember pressure on a three man freaking rush. Yes, they 480 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 1: got a sack on three man rush. We had three 481 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 1: guys blocking one man on the left side and on 482 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: the on the right side. We get a whiffed by 483 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 1: the tackle back. I'm sorry that we got whiffed by 484 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 1: the by the guard. I think Connor whiffed. He's in 485 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: there right away, and the tackle didn't do much better either. 486 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: So it's just no escape. I just that was very 487 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: because once again, once again though we compound. We always 488 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 1: compound our problems with the mistakes that we made. We 489 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 1: always do that. It's not good enough that we just 490 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: dropped the ball. No, no, let's continue to roll downhill 491 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 1: and tumble downhill and just pile onto the mistake that 492 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: we just made with another mistake. So let's say it 493 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: was an incomplete pass and it's fourth and goal at 494 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 1: the seventeen. What does Mike McCarthy do. Then they had 495 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,479 Speaker 1: two timeouts, You had three timeouts left. The reason that 496 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: you kept your timeouts was that you have three timeouts left, right, Yeah, 497 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 1: you can kick and goal at the seventeen do you 498 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,959 Speaker 1: kick it to make it twenty three twenty two, and 499 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 1: then you can kick it deep and then you stop him, 500 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 1: and now you just need a field goal to win 501 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, well, there's one price you do that. 502 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: There's one problem there. Stop You got to stop him 503 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: right now. Now. Having said that, okay, here's the other 504 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: part of that, Mickey though, having said that, if you 505 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: get the points on the board, your defense has a 506 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 1: different mentality. You tell me, eversonce, does the defense have 507 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 1: a different mentality if they just need a field goal 508 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: to win the game? To stop him on the difference 509 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 1: between it would be unconventioned of the ball because we 510 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 1: have no timeout. So we've got like less than two 511 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: minutes in the game. Someone's stripped the ball, they got 512 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 1: four downs. Yeah, there's a difference between that and trying 513 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 1: to stop them so that you can get the ball 514 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: back to your offense. Yes, the attitude is a bit different. Now, 515 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 1: how much time was left If we were it was 516 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: a minute hit the ball minute fifteen, it was a 517 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 1: minute twenty four fifteen at the time of the interception. 518 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 1: So and and by the way, and Bill, I understand 519 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 1: what you're saying, but again, it just occurred to me. Now, 520 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 1: I didn't think of it at the time, right, But 521 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 1: but again, the Cowboys had three timeouts, the Giants had 522 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 1: the ball first and ten at the twenty with one 523 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 1: fifteen left. How well did that turn out? Right? Exactly? 524 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 1: You know? And stop it and I'm the key play 525 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 1: on second in five? You know, Gallman tries to give 526 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: the ball back to the Cowboys as hard as he 527 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 1: could with the pouring down rain, and he sits on 528 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: the ball and somehow it ends up on his stomach. 529 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 1: How did we not? Okay? Man? It's something about now, 530 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 1: is that play? You have to have a mindset when 531 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 1: you dive into the power. That must be a mindset 532 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: when you dive in there and you see the ball. 533 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: You don't just dive in there and not know what 534 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 1: to do with your hands. You have to dive in 535 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 1: there and encompass anything within your grass that's close to 536 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 1: that ball. If I'm I think that was a you wood. 537 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: If I go in there, I'm going to grab the 538 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: ball and I'm sorry, but his balls as well, anything 539 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: that I can give my hands on around. Kid, you 540 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 1: understand what I'm saying. You gotta be in there. You 541 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,879 Speaker 1: can't just be there laying on there. You gotta be 542 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 1: in there grasping and everything. You should have been hurting 543 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: that guy because you're like, oh, I'm sorry, man, wrong one. 544 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I gotta get all I 545 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,919 Speaker 1: can get, and I just I don't. We just don't 546 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 1: have any awareness. It's no way he should have been 547 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,319 Speaker 1: able to reach down and get that ball when I've 548 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 1: got two cowboys ascending on him from different directions. Just 549 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 1: those key little things. I can't. You can't have a 550 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 1: drill to teach someone how to get a ball out 551 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 1: from other guys. But that's just up to you to awareness. 552 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 1: But but tell me this, how was that play any 553 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 1: different than how the deciding score happened in the first 554 00:34:56,080 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 1: Philadelphia game. Down by contact, laying on the ground with 555 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,799 Speaker 1: the ball on the stomach and it gets ripped out. 556 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 1: It wasn't a fumble that was returned for a touchdown. 557 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:13,319 Speaker 1: It was down by contact. So that guy there was 558 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,080 Speaker 1: down by contact, even though he didn't end up with 559 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,960 Speaker 1: the ball exact same not the Cowboys stadium, Not the 560 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: Cowboys stadium. No, No, I remember I remember that atmospas. 561 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,319 Speaker 1: You are so right, and one of the odds that 562 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 1: there would actually be a camera angle that would show 563 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 1: Gallman with the ball. It is the last one, the 564 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 1: last one, because all the other ones didn't show anything. 565 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,239 Speaker 1: All the other ones showed, right, is him sitting on 566 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 1: top of the ball and the cowboys diving in there. Goodness, 567 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 1: But you know it'swhere it's just it's just it's just 568 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 1: sums up the season that they had. That's all I 569 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 1: can say. But but but once again, once again, and 570 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: then and I got to go back to it. I 571 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,799 Speaker 1: know we got break. But I love my man, Bill, 572 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,720 Speaker 1: me and you. That's our boy. But he is CD. 573 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 1: He's gonna think about that. He's he feels like I 574 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 1: felt back in nineteen eighty two January tenth. He remembers 575 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 1: that think you feel worse.

To Chris's chagrin, that's right, all right. 627 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:55,440 Speaker 1: If you could sum up one aspect of this Cowboys 628 00:39:55,520 --> 00:40:03,839 Speaker 1: team that affected things yesterday, what would it be? Position groups? Oh, 629 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:08,240 Speaker 1: it's it's obvious. The offensive line. It just it killed 630 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 1: this team. It just destroyed everything that yesterday. The whole season, 631 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,439 Speaker 1: the absolute whole season, you know. And everybody says, well, 632 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,239 Speaker 1: they weren't winning with Dak Prescott thrown for five or 633 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,880 Speaker 1: you know, gaining five hundred yards offense when he was planned, 634 00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:28,600 Speaker 1: But at least they were two and three, and then 635 00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 1: two and three turned into two and seven, then turned 636 00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,839 Speaker 1: into three and nine. And when you don't have Pro 637 00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:39,360 Speaker 1: Bowl type offensive linemen out there for the entire season 638 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:44,560 Speaker 1: and your plan went backups to the backups, it's a 639 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 1: no win situation, you know what. It reminded me of 640 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,759 Speaker 1: that year, and it might have been two thousand and four, 641 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:55,640 Speaker 1: two thousand and five, guys, helped me out. When Bill 642 00:40:55,719 --> 00:41:01,360 Speaker 1: Parcels started Rob Petiti at right tack for the entire season, 643 00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,879 Speaker 1: he didn't even know. He didn't even know Petiti's first name. 644 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,600 Speaker 1: He used to call him this Petiti. That's how he 645 00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:13,360 Speaker 1: referred to him, right dad or something. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. 646 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:18,440 Speaker 1: He started sixteen games. The next year, he didn't make 647 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 1: the team. He didn't make the team. And you've got 648 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,080 Speaker 1: two guys out there right now, and God bless them, 649 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,680 Speaker 1: they gave him everything they could, Terence Steele and Brandon Knight. 650 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,480 Speaker 1: One didn't have any NFL experience. The other guy had 651 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,239 Speaker 1: played two games and started one in his first year, 652 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:43,239 Speaker 1: and they started basically the entire season at tackle. If 653 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,840 Speaker 1: you can't if you can't block on the edge, you 654 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:54,480 Speaker 1: have no chance of winning. And you think Mike McCarthy, 655 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,759 Speaker 1: Oh year ago this week, Mike McCarthy was named head 656 00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,800 Speaker 1: coach of the Dallas Cowboys. If at the opening press 657 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:05,440 Speaker 1: conference someone told Mike McCarthy that you're going to play 658 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:12,120 Speaker 1: the bulk of this season without Tyring Smith, Lyle Collins, 659 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,279 Speaker 1: Zach Martin, and Travis Frederick, what do you think his 660 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,400 Speaker 1: answer would be? He would have said, I'm gonna go 661 00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:26,319 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take that job with the Giants. He would 662 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:30,359 Speaker 1: have turned right back around. I'm going and handed back home. 663 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,880 Speaker 1: I'm going back to the bar. By the way, you 664 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,640 Speaker 1: won't have an off season program. You're going to have 665 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:39,759 Speaker 1: to be on something called WebEx for your offseason program, 666 00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 1: and training camp is with no preseason games, no nothing. 667 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:50,319 Speaker 1: And you know what, Bill though, to me, as you 668 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:55,280 Speaker 1: posed a question, Uh, mine is not necessarily about the unit, 669 00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 1: any particular unit, and because we've got all the units 670 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:03,840 Speaker 1: had issues. But to me it was it was you know, 671 00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:10,600 Speaker 1: I've always been inspired, you know, by an attitude, you know, 672 00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,680 Speaker 1: a mindset. You know, to me that that makes all 673 00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,960 Speaker 1: the difference in the world, not just in any individual 674 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:21,759 Speaker 1: and in any field, but also with any group. You know, 675 00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:26,239 Speaker 1: the mindset has to be clear from everyone in the 676 00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:30,000 Speaker 1: locker room. And whether we had Dak Prescott or whether 677 00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:34,680 Speaker 1: we had Andy Dalton, no matter whether we had uh, 678 00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:40,000 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy or whether we had Jason Garrett, the attitude 679 00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:46,279 Speaker 1: here it has always been incomplete. You know, you've got 680 00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,799 Speaker 1: one side that's doing good, you got another side that's 681 00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:50,920 Speaker 1: not doing well. You got another fashion of the game's 682 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:54,960 Speaker 1: not doing well. But to me, by the fact that 683 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,200 Speaker 1: we are not all in unison and as a mindset, 684 00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:03,560 Speaker 1: that's what leads two compounding mistakes early in the ball game. 685 00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:07,839 Speaker 1: That's what leads to being behind and always playing catch 686 00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:13,200 Speaker 1: up with an extremely talented team. As much as Dak 687 00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,839 Speaker 1: was throwing the yards there was sometimes he just had 688 00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:19,360 Speaker 1: a brain for it, just like Andy Dalton did in 689 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,960 Speaker 1: the game. These guys are better than that. And that's 690 00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,279 Speaker 1: like I said, it's not one person, it's not one unit. 691 00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:29,600 Speaker 1: To me, it's a mindset. We certain teams come out strong, 692 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,160 Speaker 1: that's their EMO. They come out strong, they come out 693 00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,839 Speaker 1: ready to play. The Cowboys emo is not that they 694 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:39,480 Speaker 1: need to change their motorsoper end so that they can 695 00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:42,400 Speaker 1: be a better team from beginning to end of the game. 696 00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:46,239 Speaker 1: Because what we saw, as Spac said, all we saw 697 00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:50,280 Speaker 1: was just a Michael coosum of everything that went wrong, 698 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:54,240 Speaker 1: and guys we always hoping Pray got the fingers cost 699 00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,399 Speaker 1: But when it's all said and done, the odds are 700 00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,960 Speaker 1: that's what's gonna happen to your team in the last game. 701 00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,719 Speaker 1: If that's what you show throughout your entire season, what 702 00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:07,719 Speaker 1: do you have, Bill? So what's that? What do you have? 703 00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:12,600 Speaker 1: What what what part uh mine was? Offensive line? You 704 00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,359 Speaker 1: know what? This reminded me of and and and I 705 00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,800 Speaker 1: think I got the year right. It was either twenty 706 00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:22,120 Speaker 1: eleven twenty twelve. It was a year before they drafted 707 00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:27,439 Speaker 1: Travis Frederick to play center, so he might have been 708 00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:32,840 Speaker 1: that might have been twenty twelve, maybe twenty thirteen, I 709 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:37,839 Speaker 1: can't remember. And that's when Jason Gart. Okay, so that's 710 00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,960 Speaker 1: when Jason Garrett decided, you know, we got to rebuild 711 00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:44,480 Speaker 1: this offensive line. It's awful. And they started with Tyrn 712 00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,160 Speaker 1: Smith right, and that helped out at the left, But 713 00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:50,640 Speaker 1: the middle of that offensive line, I could remember one 714 00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,320 Speaker 1: day he am telling me and he goes, and I 715 00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,960 Speaker 1: don't want to disparage my guys up there that we're 716 00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:58,880 Speaker 1: trying so hard. He goes, And it's one thing to 717 00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:02,919 Speaker 1: get knocked back when you're pass blocking. He goes, we 718 00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,880 Speaker 1: were getting knocked back in the middle of that line 719 00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:08,520 Speaker 1: when we were trying to run the ball. And I 720 00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:13,319 Speaker 1: got offensive lineman two and three yards deep, and he goes, 721 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:17,000 Speaker 1: you can't win that way. If you can't if you 722 00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,560 Speaker 1: can't play on the offensive line, you can't fake it, right. 723 00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:25,279 Speaker 1: I remember Larry Lacewell once telling me, He goes, you know, 724 00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,960 Speaker 1: if you don't have a quarterback and you don't have 725 00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:32,839 Speaker 1: a decent offense, it's hard to fake it. He goes. Defensively, 726 00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,560 Speaker 1: I can fake things. I can try to do some 727 00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:38,560 Speaker 1: weird things defensively to try to hold down the fort 728 00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,239 Speaker 1: he goes, But if I don't have a quarterback that 729 00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,040 Speaker 1: can win, if I don't have an offense that can 730 00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:47,279 Speaker 1: score points, it's hard for me to fake it. And 731 00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:50,600 Speaker 1: they tried to fake an offensive line this year with 732 00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:55,239 Speaker 1: all that fancy gingerbread plays to the outside and sweeps 733 00:46:55,360 --> 00:47:00,680 Speaker 1: and double passes. But at some point point, you gotta 734 00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:03,680 Speaker 1: be able to run the ball straight ahead. You've got 735 00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,240 Speaker 1: to be able to protect the quarterback. And they couldn't 736 00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:10,320 Speaker 1: do it all season long and finish the season giving 737 00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:14,920 Speaker 1: up six sacks and letting your quarterback hit nine times 738 00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:18,919 Speaker 1: and have nine tackles for losses. For the Giant's head, 739 00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:21,640 Speaker 1: you can't win that way. And that's why you sat 740 00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:26,880 Speaker 1: there with the nineteen points. And we'll get into it 741 00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:30,160 Speaker 1: starting tomorrow. But the Cowboys, as they assess things they 742 00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,239 Speaker 1: got to figure out, are they at the same point 743 00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:35,400 Speaker 1: with their offensive line now as they were in twenty 744 00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:37,880 Speaker 1: eleven when Jason Garrett took over as a head coach. 745 00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,879 Speaker 1: As far as making sure that they've got I mean, 746 00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,799 Speaker 1: what's the shelf life of offensive lineman in this league? 747 00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,520 Speaker 1: As far as injuries going everything. Tyrant Smith's still young, 748 00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:49,879 Speaker 1: Zach Martin still young, Lyle Collins, but how much more 749 00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:53,560 Speaker 1: with the wear and tear in this league? What do 750 00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:56,080 Speaker 1: they need to do to shore up that offensive line? 751 00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:59,440 Speaker 1: And they started last year with Tyler Biadi. They might 752 00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:04,560 Speaker 1: be a ser age biologically. Tyland Smith and some of 753 00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,880 Speaker 1: these offensive linemen, they are much older. How much tread 754 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,399 Speaker 1: is on the tire? What it says in the program, Yeah, 755 00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:13,439 Speaker 1: how much trade is on the tire? All right? We 756 00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:17,320 Speaker 1: will continue at eleven thirty in the morning on Tuesday 757 00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:20,759 Speaker 1: on mixed shots and ever since closes out like you 758 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:27,040 Speaker 1: always do, Go Cowboys, there you go.
