You know, people get paid for that. 22 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: It's just similar to the overalls that you used to 23 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,559 Speaker 1: wear in college at Missouri. You were telling me yesterday, 24 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: but overall tell him people war was that a thing? 25 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: I actually had a pair. I try to make it work, 26 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: but I realized that's the white thing. I can't No, 27 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: I can't picture you ever said it over Please don't pictures. 28 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: But Mickey said back in the seven DC wore overalls. 29 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: I did. We gotta have we gotta have a photo, man, 30 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: But everybody was wearing him. Not everybody, No, not everybody. 31 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: Explain what painter pants was. They didn't understand that. I 32 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: don't know that either. Maybe. Yeah, okay, you're ready for 33 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: the roster move? Now what wasterrom? Yeah? Who's Who's Deontay Burton? 34 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: You heard of him before? Yeah? Okay, miss tell me 35 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: more about you, mister pick twelve, really big twelve guy, 36 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 1: Deontay Burton. Oh from that big twelve North. Oh yeah 37 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 1: that's okay. I figured you had it on your sounds 38 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: like a dB A cornerback. Yeah, Deontay Burton. Yep, it's 39 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 1: Anthony is out. Yes, he's done for the season with 40 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: a torn tricept that was repaired yesterday. So there you go, 41 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: there's your roster booth. He was really kind of already 42 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: being replaced by Jordan. Yeah, he had been battling some 43 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 1: injuries here lately. Yeah, he got what he placed when 44 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 1: he eats Uh sprained his strained his hamstring and he 45 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: missed the game, and then Jordan started the next two. 46 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: But this last game, he actually took some snaps on 47 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: the nickel in place of Jordan Lewis, So they were 48 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: kind of easing him back in until that happened in 49 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: the Laga was the fourth quarter. It was in the 50 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: fourth quarter when they had the rash of injuries on 51 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: consecutive plays. They were falling like flies. They did split 52 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: in the nickel last week, but ever since, right, I mean, 53 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: I think he'd earned more snaps Jordan had before before 54 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: this injury for Brown, So, I mean, every time he's 55 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: in the game, it seems like, I don't know if 56 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: that's what you see too, it seems like he makes 57 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: plays and he's around the football. They talked about the 58 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: Jets game, they say it was even that interception they 59 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: said he was beat if I'm not mistaken, Yeah, but 60 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: came back still had the ability to just turn around 61 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: and look for the ball. And you'd just be surprised 62 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: at how many will just fall right in your lap, 63 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: you know, just ask Heath. They had he was hit 64 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: in the back of his head, So Larry the back 65 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: of the head. Yep, you know that's it was a 66 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: pass breakup. That's a positive, Yeah, that's breakup. The negative 67 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: is he had to pick six yep. Ye at Anthony Brown. 68 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: And in fact, I've got the snap counts here from 69 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 1: the last several weeks. Anthony Brown had twelve snaps against Detroit, 70 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: while Jordan Lewis had thirty one snaps. The previous week 71 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: against Minnesota, Jordan had twenty snaps. Brown had five and 72 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: one die and in the right in the Giants game. Uh, 73 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: it was fifty one snaps for Jordan Lewis, five for 74 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,239 Speaker 1: Brown and in the back in the Jets game, nineteen 75 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,679 Speaker 1: snaps for Brown. That's a pattern. Yep, that's definitely a pattern. 76 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: And then had thirty seven and for Jordan Lewis. So 77 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: which game did he miss? Uh? Would have been the 78 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: Philly game, the Eagles game. So all right, so there's 79 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: those games. Yeah, so he was he was battling an injury. 80 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: But Jordan Lewis has earned the playing time. Yeah, let's 81 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: just call it what it is. He's more of a 82 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: playmaker and that's we just need more of those. Uh, 83 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: you know, it's a shame that Heath was leading an 84 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 1: accept of the last couple of years with maybe four 85 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: or two or three. Well four, I'm talking a couple 86 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: of years total, A couple of year whatever since would 87 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: get in a month. So what we were trying to say, yeah, 88 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: we need turn over minded defensive backs. Well there's the 89 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: reason that Jordan Lewis was a third round draft picks. 90 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: I really like his athletic abuilding. I didn't know he's 91 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: so short, you know, I just didn't realize that because 92 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: he plays big, which may have been a raging. He 93 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: was a third round draft pick, not a second place. 94 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: He was a third round draft pick because remember he 95 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 1: had had off the field deal. Yep, they get resolved, 96 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: not involved, but not until after the draft. Right. But 97 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: you're right, and we've talked about Christopher Shard likes those 98 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: range type dbs. But you know, there comes a point 99 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: in time where you can't keep a guy off the field, 100 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: and he's gonna make plays every time he's out there. 101 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: And he does play big, and he plays with some 102 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: competitiveness that I think they really like. Plays with an edge. 103 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: He does play with an edge. Well, we'll see how 104 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: he does against some guy named Edelman. Interesting. You gotta 105 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: give him help, You gotta give him help. That's just 106 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: all of this too. Edelman is a favorite target. You know, 107 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: let's not be naive. And it's just like when Vikings 108 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: came in into Cowboys Stadium. Their whole mindset was, Elliot's 109 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: not gonna beat us. We're gonna make da Elliott is 110 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 1: not going to beat us. And I'm just wondering why 111 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: we didn't have that same mindset because they talked about 112 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: how these teams will mirror images and Kirk Cousins. I 113 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 1: still think Dak is much better than Kirk Cousins. But 114 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins having a great second half of the year 115 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 1: so far, and let's make him beat us. You know, 116 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: let's not let's cook run all over the place. Let's 117 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 1: just stack the line just like they did. Right. You 118 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 1: don't physically stack at a pre snap. Then we know 119 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: a lot of time they bought a snap. Everyone is 120 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: looking at number twenty one or in Cowboys case, number 121 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: thirty three. So looking at the Patriots, then what do 122 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,239 Speaker 1: you got to take away? You gotta take away Edelman. 123 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: You just have to in in certain situations. We know 124 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: he's going to be the primary on third downs. We 125 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: just do it. We watched a little bit of the 126 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: game on the on the flight back we were working, 127 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: but he didn't throw the ball to anybody else. But 128 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: it seemed like the running backs for several weeks, well, 129 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: go ahead, go ahead. Well, it's always been kind of 130 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: part of their game, the screen game with the Backs. 131 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: They use Edelman in screens. They just they try to 132 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: move him around, move him everywhere, and but he is 133 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: the guy. I mean he's especially because they've had so 134 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: much turnover at their wide receiver position. I mean they 135 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: trade for snow last. That's that's Brady's got, that's his 136 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: comfort zone. And I would imagine that going to the 137 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: Backs a lot, because as I was gonna say, they're 138 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: gonna everyone's doubling element and so Brady's no food. This 139 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: is my counter, So I'm gonna go to the backs. 140 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: I don't know much about that tight end. I don't 141 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: know if he's still using Watson right. Well, he was 142 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: gone for the pretty well I think that was a 143 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. Yeah, yeah, but the other wide 144 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: receivers were kind of nonentities in the game against the Eagles. 145 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: Let's just face it, Brady is not where he was. 146 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: You know, he's not that guy that we feared. We 147 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: know that he can be that guy. We don't want 148 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: to wake him up at this point. Uh. That's why 149 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: the defense is so prevalent for them. He's living off 150 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: of them, I mean, big time. Ever since the Super Bowl, 151 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: Brady just hadn't been the guy putting up the big numbers. 152 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: Now he's made key plays like Aaron Rodgers. You can 153 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: be still that guy in certain situations, but you have 154 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: to be in position to make that final push. That 155 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: means your defense has to help you out. That means 156 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: your running game has to be strong. It means a 157 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: kicking game has to be shore. These are the things 158 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: that make up a good team. That's what I'm hoping 159 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,559 Speaker 1: the Cowboys trying to get there. Okay, I've been monitoring 160 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: the Patriots all season, Okay, and got my mote book here. 161 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: It's a big notebook. Okay, guess how many wide receivers 162 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: that they have had on their roster since training camp, 163 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,719 Speaker 1: since training camp began. I mean these are guys. No, 164 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: I'm not completing, not the undrafted guys. I'm talking guys 165 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: that have previous experience in the NFL. I mean, these 166 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: are legitimate guys that are fifty three man roster time. Okay, 167 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 1: training count yepiften. Hey guy, do you look at my 168 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: heat all right? Edelman, Damarius Thomas, Mohammed Sanu, Philip doors Set, 169 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: Maurice Harris, Antonio Brown. I mean I'm including Matthew Slater 170 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: at that, although he's not really he's a special teams guy, 171 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: Braxton Barrios, Jacoby Myers, Josh Gordon, Nick Hil Harry, who 172 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: they just got back off injured reserve, Don treill Inman Gunner, 173 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: Olshevsky who they just put on IR Cameron Meredith. There's 174 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: fifteen guys there. Now, how many tight ends as they 175 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 1: try to figure out a way to replace Gronk in 176 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: this office? Take that? How many tight ends do you think? Six? Four? 177 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: I was gonna say eight might be all I know 178 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: ten tight ends. All I know is they've got seventeen 179 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: guys that have caught pass. Yeah, I wish I'd had 180 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: that stack because I wrote about it yesterday I mentioned that. 181 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 1: But that's okay, So that tight ends twenty five different guys. 182 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: Did Watson was on their roster. I think he started 183 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: the season on pup let me see my check my 184 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: notes here. And then he was released October seventh, and 185 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: then he comes back, had an emotional release. Okay, he 186 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: thought he was done with football. Well Belichick brings him 187 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: back to two weeks later and now he's basically they're 188 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: they're top tight end. I mean, they're going through these 189 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,079 Speaker 1: tight ends like and it is the greatness of Brady 190 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: in a way, and that they've cycled through guys throughout 191 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: the last twenty years. He's he's frustrated, well he is, 192 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: and part of it is the turnover they've had for sure. 193 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: And and like ever said, his numbers are down. Man, 194 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: the media is just kind of burying him a little 195 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: bit this week, were burying him. That's because he was 196 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: after the game. He gave Yeah, he gave very short 197 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: answers in this post game after the game, which was 198 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: a win in Philadelphia. But the offense isn't doing what 199 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: normally it does, and he's very frustrated. He can you 200 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: can tell that's a red fla when you when you 201 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: start looking at those receivers that he has. Now you 202 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: look at some new you look at us, said, those 203 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: are formidable guys. I like this Harry first round, he'd 204 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: been hurt, right, Yeah, he'd been hurt. Got back. He 205 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: just got back that. In fact, this past week he 206 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 1: was back for the first time um this season. So well. 207 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: Having said all that, the two teams have scored the 208 00:11:55,480 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: exact same amount of touchdowns, although they have six returns, yes, 209 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: touchdowns deep sixty four. Are those all defensive returns, bumble returns, 210 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: they have pick sixes or there's some kick returns in there, 211 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: Like four defensive touchdowns, right, so maybe a couple of 212 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 1: kick returns. They're right at the top of the league 213 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: in that. Yeah, they're one tick above the Cowboys and 214 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,839 Speaker 1: points per game. But we talked about it last week 215 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: and ever since I spoke to it, they're starting drives 216 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: really deep in in opposing territory. He's getting all the 217 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: help he needs, and I think that's part of why 218 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: he's frustrated, is they're still not producing a lot of points. 219 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: That's a big thing there. And as you can imagine 220 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: with twenty eight takeaways, their starting field position is number 221 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: one in the league. Yeah, number one in the league, 222 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: and the Cowboys is down the bottom of the barrel. Well, 223 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: it helps Dak Polo some numbers. Yeah, that's try, Okay, 224 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: what's why. That's why the Cowboys lead the league in 225 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,079 Speaker 1: total yards because they got farther to go. There's more 226 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: real estate than cover for the count. The only number 227 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: you need to know with them is they're giving up 228 00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: ten point eight points. Again. Yeah, but they're not right there. 229 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 1: There are, but there's a lot of people listening right 230 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: now or saying, Mickey, stop it right there. Look at 231 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: who they played. Interesting, I guess the interesting eles in 232 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: Baltimore don't count. They gave up. They gave up the 233 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: thirty seven the right. That's interesting. Every One talked about 234 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 1: the Cowboys early on and there they really hawked on it, 235 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: especially when we showed, uh, you know, the proof is 236 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: in the pudding. We showed that when we played against 237 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: better teams, we didn't produce as well, and we obviously 238 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: lost to the Jets. So everyone put their their heat 239 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: on that. As far as the Cowboy was Nobody talked 240 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: about just how New England's schedule was just as weak. 241 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 1: I guess the AFC East is just as bad as 242 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: the NFC East. I don't know what what's Pittsburgh's record, Well, 243 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: there's a record, right, yeah, But so if you want 244 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: to know, they beat Miami, the Jets, Buffalo, Washington, Giants, 245 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: the Jets, Cleveland, and then they lost to Baltimore and 246 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: beat Philadelphia. Pittsburgh is five and five. By the way, 247 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: Well they get the benefit of the doubt because they're 248 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 1: the Patriots. But when you look at the schedule, it's 249 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: the same type thing, right, I mean, they haven't played 250 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 1: a ton of really good teams, really, not many at all. 251 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: So Billy's a good team. My theory about the AFC 252 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: East hold still and the good teams they played doesn't 253 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: like it. I mean he's he kind of minimizes their 254 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: titles a little bit. No, I just said they get 255 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: six and oh usually maybe because they got the goat 256 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: and the goat, they got the guy in the side, 257 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: they got the guy quarterback, which is why the rest 258 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: of the AFC East is so bad. They got to 259 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: play New England twice. Yeah, it's two losses right there. 260 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: I think we were all a little hesitant and just 261 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: really you know, playing the playing the horn on these guys. 262 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: You know, you play them on into the grave. We're 263 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: a little has because of the goat and the goat, yeah, 264 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: I mean right, you always think, I think we don't 265 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: want to be the ones to wake them up. We 266 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: don't want to be the ones to well, okay, this 267 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: is the game where they hit their stride. We don't 268 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: want to say that they marked the Cowboys on the 269 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: calendar and said, okay, this is where we started to 270 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: march to the super Bowl. We don't want to be 271 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: that team. Yep. All right, So I'm looking at the 272 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: team to get the teams they've played. And right now, 273 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: if you look at the records of those teams they've played, 274 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: right now, there are two that have winning records, I 275 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: believe Buffalo. And they won that game sixteen to ten 276 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: in Baltimore, and they lost that game what was it, 277 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: thirty seven Buffalo at the Buffalo is at Buffalo. They 278 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: beat them on the road, yep. And they've got two 279 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: five and five teams. In the season opener against Pittsburgh 280 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: they won thirty three to three, and then last week 281 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: against the Eagles, who are now five and five. They 282 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: won seventeen to ten. So there you go. We'll see 283 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: the NFC right upside the NFL right now. You just 284 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: might as well call it parody. You just might as well. 285 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: You can't even the teams that win maybe on the 286 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: consistent basis, there are still some very dicey games within 287 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: that streak to where you go, man, that could have 288 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: gone either way, so to me. Detroit, Yeah, Detroit. They 289 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: played ten games now and nine of them have been 290 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: decided by a touchdown or less. Wow. Well, during the 291 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: game the Lions game on Sunday on Twitter, everybody's freaking 292 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: out because the Vikings are getting blown out by Denver, 293 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: who's not a good team at all. They come back 294 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: and win. But you're right, that's I tweeted that that's 295 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: this league. I mean, I don't know if there's a 296 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: great team this year. The Patriots have a great defense. 297 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: The margin between good and average is a couple plays 298 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: a game, sometimes average and bad, And that's why I 299 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: think maybe we overreact a little bit too much when 300 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: they lose to a team like the Vikings. Although there 301 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: are things that could have done better coaching wise, execution 302 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: wise all those things. How about losing to the Jets 303 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: and then the next week New England beats them thirty 304 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: three to nothing. Yeah, that was that's because Belichick was like, 305 00:16:54,520 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: this is not happening, righty for allowing a b that's 306 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: very focused on this next team coming up. And they 307 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: had some ghosts in the second year two.

The 362 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 1: Cowboys have lost the last five times they've played the Patriots. 363 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: Three of those were in New England. Last time they 364 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: beat him was nineteen ninety six at Texas Stadium, wiped 365 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,239 Speaker 1: him out twelve to six. By the way, if you 366 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 1: can believe that. But the last time they beat him, 367 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: we have to go back to nineteen eighty seven, November fifteenth, 368 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: the Cowboys won the game in overtime twenty three seventeen. 369 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: Oh look, look here we're winning. Footage of this is 370 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: herschel Walker sixty our touchdown run on the fourth play 371 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: of overtime. Oh he going, and he just smoked everybody. 372 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: And I found this. I found this after the game, 373 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: Danny White said. He said, all I saw was blue flame. 374 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 1: It looked like the ground was smoking. And how about this. 375 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: The play call was slant twenty six sarah whatever that means. 376 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: And Everson Walls was playing in that game for the 377 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 1: Dallas and Cowboys, uh that they ended up tying the 378 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: game on a Roger rusick field goal, had to kick 379 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: it from the three from it, the ball was at 380 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: the three yard line, so it was a twenty yard 381 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: field goal and the twenty eight seconds left to tie 382 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: it up. The Patriots were being quarterback that day. Steve 383 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: Grogan was hurt. Anybody want to guess who the quarterback was? 384 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 1: Some guy named Tom Ramsey. Tom Ramsey, Yeah, yes, I 385 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: don't even remember that. And I played it again and 386 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:09,719 Speaker 1: you played probably did, right. They only scored seventeen points 387 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: and that was kind of the changing of the guard 388 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys at running back because Tony got hurt 389 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 1: in that game a shoulder. He only had six carries. 390 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: Walker went twenty eight for one seventy three and two 391 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty two total yards in the game. And 392 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: I think that was the turning point because Herschel took 393 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: Offer took over, and then they traded Tony in the 394 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,880 Speaker 1: offseason to Denver. Yeah, that was said. Yeah, I thought 395 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 1: that was extremely unnecessary. You just don't get rid of 396 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 1: a guy like Dosset, especially back then. But he kind 397 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: of wanted it. Yeah, but he kind of wanted out 398 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: because they treat him like crap. Right, Yeah, So you 399 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: know that's causing effect. I mean that's the reason he 400 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: wanted out because the treatment of him. They brought Herschelin 401 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 1: in the first place. That was almost like a slap 402 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,199 Speaker 1: in the face. Two doors set right. Uh. He had 403 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 1: always had a rocket well, I guess we all had 404 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 1: rocket relationships with the organization itself. But you know, they 405 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: saw that they thought he was over the hill. And 406 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 1: if I recalled, he goes to Denver and gets a 407 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,679 Speaker 1: thousand yards said, he goes to Denver and has a 408 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: thousand yards was closed. I think we just did something 409 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: on him, money surgery. Yeah, and almost all of his 410 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 1: runs were inside between the tackles. So it just let 411 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 1: you know. To me, I thought that was his best 412 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: year because it showed something that at that age and 413 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure he was over thirty plus years old. 414 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he was able to make a change in 415 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: his style. Yeah, and it was effective for him. Denver 416 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 1: was they were so proud of the year that he 417 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: had for the Broncos that year. I was proud of 418 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: them too. You know, you'll laugh about this. So in 419 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: eighty eight the Times, Harold sent me to Denver to 420 00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,120 Speaker 1: do a story on Tony Dorset before the season started 421 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: and they were treating him like a god. Yes, they 422 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,919 Speaker 1: were the advertisement. They wanted them to write a diary 423 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 1: that he was doing all these promotions. As a matter 424 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:16,479 Speaker 1: of fact, a automobile dealership, Uh did a contest and 425 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: you had to guess how many carries he needed to 426 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: get to pass Jim Brown to go second all time 427 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: rushing behind Walter Payton. And he did it like the 428 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: I don't know, fourth or fifth game and if people 429 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: keep an eye on it, we've done a legend show 430 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 1: on it. And uh, he moved into second place and 431 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: ended up running out of bounds and they were supposed 432 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: to stop the game, give him a ball or whatever. 433 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 1: All he did was returned back to the huddle. Nothing nothing, 434 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,880 Speaker 1: There was nothing school right. Yeah, as opposed to Drew 435 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,679 Speaker 1: Brees when he gets we had to have a homecoming celebration. 436 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: The family came out out on the field, right, balloon right, 437 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: give me a break man, okay o mus and get 438 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: off my law and you know what I'm saying. So 439 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 1: the funny thing is when it was it was like 440 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl celebration because Joe Tessa Tour was calling 441 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: it in the booth. Yeah, I had the interview set 442 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: up with Dorset after practice, and all of a sudden 443 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 1: he comes out late. Imagine that, right, and uh he goes, oh, 444 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: he goes, I gotta go to the airport. I go, 445 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: you got to go to the airport and he goes, yeah, 446 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,400 Speaker 1: he goes, Uh, I gotta go pick up round springs 447 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 1: at the airport. Wow. And I said, oh okay, he 448 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: goes yeah, and I don't think I'm coming back. He goes, 449 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 1: but if you want, you could ride with me and 450 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 1: we could talk in the car while I'm driving. Be careful, 451 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 1: do I send you behind together? Yeah, he's but here's 452 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 1: the bottom liar. So I said, okay, that sounds good, right. 453 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: So we jump in the car and I look around. 454 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: It's a two seater and he goes, yeah, I can 455 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: take you there, but I can't bring you back. What 456 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: kind of sisters that? But we had great interview, and uh, 457 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 1: he was driving like he was running by the way, Yeah, 458 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: going to hit it. Yeah. We got to the airport 459 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: and Ron was on the curb and he gets in 460 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 1: and I get out and I found a taxi when 461 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: that far back. It's funny. I do remember Tony talking 462 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: about in interviews about his vision and he would practice 463 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:28,959 Speaker 1: his vision, and he said that he got I remember 464 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: specifically interviewing maybe a training camp back in the eighties whatever, 465 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: and he'd say, yeah, I practiced my vision when I'm 466 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: driving down the highway. So he must have a uh huh. Yeah. 467 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: So and guess what else I found. I forgot to 468 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 1: hold this up. Here was my sidebar on Herschel's run 469 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 1: against the paper blue flame. Wow. You know my best 470 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,479 Speaker 1: friend throw that block, Thornton Chadler always brags about throwing 471 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: that block on that linebacker. And as I was looking 472 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 1: at it, boy, he blocked that guy way to the sideline. Yeah. 473 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: We we had a lot of fun in that game. 474 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: I was a cheerleader that game. When we got to 475 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:11,479 Speaker 1: the man for some reason, it just so many things happened, 476 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 1: of course with it anty with Herschel, I'm over dapping 477 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: down all the Cowboy fans in the end zone. And 478 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: then he got out of there. You got a little dangers. 479 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: They hit me on the head, hit me back. So 480 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 1: I ended up watching Mike Renchfrold. It was a fourth 481 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: and twelve if I'm not mistaken, and I know you're thirteen. 482 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: That's very good. Thank you, sir. From the thirty and 483 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 1: Mike Reinfeld was going against Lapette number forty two, and 484 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 1: for some reason, the defensive back it's fourth down, Okay, 485 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 1: he bites on a ten yard move. It's fourth and 486 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 1: thirteen bites on the ten yard move and Renfrold put 487 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,919 Speaker 1: him to sleep. And all I remember was the ball. 488 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 1: I was standing on the sideline and the ball. Danny 489 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: threw the ball down the sidelines because Froe was open, 490 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 1: and it was coming right at me, and I was like, wow, 491 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: that's such a pretty bad and I look up and 492 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,199 Speaker 1: then here comes Rainfall, the slowest white dude. You when 493 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: I say slow and white, that's that means that he's 494 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:15,880 Speaker 1: really slow. So he's coming down and he's just he's 495 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: looking like a gazelle. And here comes the ball. Here 496 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: he is, and it was beautiful. He caught it right 497 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 1: next to me and he slid out of bounds. And 498 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,160 Speaker 1: I remember waving my tie like I was mail car. 499 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 1: You know what I mean. I'm waving like I'm with 500 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: the with the Boston solf car. And man, I was 501 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 1: so happy they called me out on the film because 502 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 1: I was just I had never been that emotionally during 503 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: the game. I don't know why I wanted to beat 504 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: the Patriots so bad. I guess I hate their fans. 505 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: Guy scared me sometimes. It was a forty three yard completion, beautiful, 506 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: just one of the prettiest passes. Danny White has everything, 507 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: including the Juw Pierson passed in San Francisco. Right, it 508 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: was beautiful. It was beautiful. So thirty two years ago 509 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: was the last time the Cowboys beat the Patriots. It's 510 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 1: almost in New England and they that off. But that's 511 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 1: the other thing. Brady hasn't played here. But yeah, yeah, 512 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not what I'm saying. It's been like 513 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: a Texas stadium. Yeah, it was oh seven, but remember 514 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: I think we're undefeated at the time, and yeah, Pats 515 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 1: kind of handed it to him. But yeah, and eleven. 516 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: I think the last time we were there to cover 517 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: that game, when Cowboys had that game and Brady, we 518 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 1: were on the sideline. Brady diced him up down the field. 519 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,239 Speaker 1: And that's what I'm talking about. Yeah, no matter how 520 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: much you hold him down. The great ones, the Rodgers, 521 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: you know, the Bradys, they're the ones if they find 522 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: it in them. Because right now I'm in situational ball, 523 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: and this is what I this is this is really 524 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 1: what I throw. I kind of like that a little 525 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: bit to where when he gets in that two minute, 526 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 1: you don't know what's gonna happen when he gets in 527 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: red zone, but you know that he's gonna get you 528 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 1: down the field and give you a chance. And that's 529 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: that's Brady the whole time, his whole career. And that 530 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 1: game up there was in the old stadium, fox boroughs Stadium. 531 00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: You get a Foxborough story for you. Well, let's rookie year, 532 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 1: rookie year. I'm not even starting yet and we're going 533 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 1: to the stadium. They got the one road in, one 534 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 1: road out. Yes, the fans held us up. We were 535 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: late for Monday night game. We were pickup truck guys. 536 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: Some pickup truck guys. I'm a rookie man, I'm still 537 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: twenty one years old. I'm like, yeah, I heard the 538 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: Boston as a black man, I'm like, whoa. I never 539 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: took my helmet off during the entire game. So on 540 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: the way there, they see Tom Langer. They know it's 541 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: our bus. He's sitting right there freaking hat on. They 542 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: we're riding in. They see us, they start yelling, they 543 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 1: start holding us up, and then as soon as the 544 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: shop on the cops that scores to get off their 545 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: bikes to say, hey, guys, what's going on? They pull off, 546 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: and we get back on our bikes and we're getting 547 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: in the bus. We pull up, they stop again. We 548 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: did this the entire way into the game. We were 549 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: late for Monday night football because of the fans of 550 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 1: Fox Bell Stadium, and that stadium wasn't very big, if not, 551 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 1: as I remember now, it was like a good one 552 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 1: double a foot. It looked like the Yale Bowl, like 553 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 1: if you were Yale or something like, yeah, as big 554 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: as a Yale bow, yea Yale. Yeah it was. It 555 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 1: was a way We kicked that bus, by the way, 556 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 1: like one hundred plus and Claytone was chasing him to 557 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: the end zone as wells Which is the funny thing 558 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: because if you look and Bill's got it right there. 559 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 1: How many times in the road did the Cowboys beat 560 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 1: him before the one, two, three, four, five, six, seven times? 561 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: First seven times they played him? Yep? How many times? 562 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: Day I would call right, we lost to him on 563 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day, Texas Stadium would have been in eighty four. 564 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 1: Craig James, of all people, no a second eighty four. 565 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it was Thanksgiving. No, remember twenty 566 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: second eighty four, Dallas one November fifteenth, so it would 567 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: have been a week before. Yeah, I'm not sure because 568 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: Dallas won that game. Yeah, Craig James be this one game. 569 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 1: I was so mad. He was my neighbor. Yeah, everybody 570 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 1: behind me.

If they love you, dude, they gotta love me. 626 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 1: All right. You look at this New England Patriot the 627 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,880 Speaker 1: matchup against the Patriots. Let's turn it over to offense 628 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 1: versus defense. Number one defense in the National Football League. 629 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 1: One of the Cowboys need to do offensively. Well. I 630 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 1: was gonna ask Everson if he had ever seen Belichick 631 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,799 Speaker 1: in your days with him or Parcels played defense the 632 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 1: way they are with all these linebackers around the line 633 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:18,359 Speaker 1: of scrimmage and really only two down defensive linemen most 634 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 1: of the time. And I saw a lot of times 635 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: on Nickel it was one down defensive lineman and he's 636 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,920 Speaker 1: got linebackers all scattered around like a Safire drill or 637 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:31,080 Speaker 1: they're pushing. It's very, very familiar. Of course, it reminds 638 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 1: me of the Super Bowl. Super Bowl twenty five. We're 639 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:38,319 Speaker 1: going against Jim Kelly and thurmon Thomas and they were 640 00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,840 Speaker 1: going to know huddle. So it's almost like when Rodgerson 641 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 1: tries to catch you with the with the personnel that 642 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 1: you want. Well, we were stuck with a particular personnel 643 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,880 Speaker 1: that we were gonna live with. We're gonna it was 644 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 1: just like h with what the Vikings did to the Cowboys, 645 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 1: just the opposite. We wanted to make Jim Cally, I'm sorry. 646 00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,839 Speaker 1: We wanted to make Thurmon Thomas beat us because Jim 647 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,759 Speaker 1: Kelly was such a quick striker. So we didn't want 648 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,239 Speaker 1: that game to get out of hands. And what we're 649 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,279 Speaker 1: gonna do. We're gonna play all pass. We are one 650 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,600 Speaker 1: nose guard in the game pretty much the entire time, 651 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:13,040 Speaker 1: unless it was Shure Georgage. So yeah, Belichick is always 652 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:16,560 Speaker 1: he's always had this thing for this personnel. He's always 653 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,319 Speaker 1: wanted to do it, and Super Bowl twenty five was 654 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 1: his first opportunity to use that particular personnel and that 655 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 1: particular idea about how to play defense in this particular game, 656 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,800 Speaker 1: who we're going to target. So you know, it's no 657 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:35,080 Speaker 1: telling what you might see from Belichick because in nineteen 658 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,320 Speaker 1: ninety we were the number one defense in the league, 659 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 1: and we changed everything for the Super Bowl, really everything. 660 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,080 Speaker 1: We were the number one defense in the NFL, and 661 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,440 Speaker 1: when he came to playing against the Buffalo Bills in 662 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, biggest game of the year, we changed everything. 663 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,279 Speaker 1: And that's one of the few times where you catch 664 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,440 Speaker 1: a coach who was amazing at what he does and 665 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 1: chose to change his entire philosophy for one team and 666 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 1: be successful at doing it. And now that's pretty much 667 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 1: his staple. He likes to play with a bunch of linebackers, 668 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:14,400 Speaker 1: you know, that's his thing, athletic athletic linebackers. We had Pepper, 669 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,840 Speaker 1: we had call Banks, we had Launched Taylor, Gary Reason. 670 00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,399 Speaker 1: And I know I'm saying this sounds weird. Steve Diaz, 671 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:27,520 Speaker 1: Steve built like an icebox, but what he was good 672 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 1: at was we were big. They were big, so they 673 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 1: would close that bubble. You saw how Minnesota was getting 674 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:37,440 Speaker 1: those offensive linemen. They were attacking Smith down the field, 675 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,319 Speaker 1: Vanderge they were cutting them at their feet. Pepper and 676 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,520 Speaker 1: Dios would close that bubble and they would hit them 677 00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: as if they were defensive lineman with a two yards start, 678 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,319 Speaker 1: and that bubble was closed. That's why we were so 679 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,920 Speaker 1: good and effective against the run. I mean, the linebackers 680 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,760 Speaker 1: they got now van Noy Collins, high tower, they can rush, 681 00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,800 Speaker 1: They've got a lot of sacks combined, they can cover, 682 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,439 Speaker 1: and we see a lot of these zero basically cover 683 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 1: zero because they got so much faith in their secondary. 684 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 1: I mean, they got Pro Bowl guys in the secondary. 685 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,000 Speaker 1: It's really unique, but it's really effective. You know, look 686 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,520 Speaker 1: at their front seven and compare it to any other 687 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,279 Speaker 1: team in the league. As far as the number of 688 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,480 Speaker 1: players that they have in their front seven, it's a 689 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,600 Speaker 1: very limited number. I mean, I've got their their front seven, 690 00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 1: these defensive linemen and linebackers, I've count thirteen guys for 691 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,160 Speaker 1: seven positions on the team. Cowboys have like seventeen front 692 00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,040 Speaker 1: seven guys. It's a reason why Michael Bennett's here, because 693 00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,239 Speaker 1: they didn't really have a spot for because those are 694 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: hybrid guys and you mentioned high tower Vanoy, John Simons, 695 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,160 Speaker 1: another one Jamie Collins, who can rush or they can 696 00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:46,840 Speaker 1: play in coverage. And what it does it then creates 697 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:51,320 Speaker 1: an opera roster positions where they can keep four guys 698 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,560 Speaker 1: that are basically just special teams guys Matthew Slater and 699 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 1: Justin Bethel. They just picked up who's one of the 700 00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,080 Speaker 1: top special teams guys in the league, and so they 701 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 1: they it's amazing. We'll get into this later in the week. 702 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,319 Speaker 1: The way they have put their roster together and how 703 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:11,840 Speaker 1: Belichick in that organization has figured out how to maximize 704 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 1: their resources in a salary cap era in the end 705 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 1: and still be strong in all facets of the game, 706 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,239 Speaker 1: all three facets of the game. That's what's important. And 707 00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,719 Speaker 1: you know what, in the way they play it, me 708 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,799 Speaker 1: with my pea brain, they'd suck me probably right into it. 709 00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 1: But it looks like you should run the ball against them. 710 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,720 Speaker 1: You got these two hundred and fifty pound guys lining 711 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,200 Speaker 1: up on the line of scrimmage. I got three hundred 712 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 1: twenty pound offensive tackles. Let's go hit their skinny butts. Right, 713 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:43,920 Speaker 1: But somehow the same Philadelphia, Right, you might be big 714 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,040 Speaker 1: and you want to hit these little guys that they're quick, 715 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,439 Speaker 1: But they do have one big guy in there named 716 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 1: Danny Shelton who's about goes about three forty Yeah, yeah, 717 00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:57,000 Speaker 1: and you know, but watching Philadelphia almost I know those 718 00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,359 Speaker 1: guys are talented. But it also looked like they were 719 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,920 Speaker 1: just confused. Was done who to block? These guys were 720 00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:05,279 Speaker 1: coming from all times? The difference, that's the difference. Yeah, 721 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,560 Speaker 1: you can line them up, but can you catch them? 722 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 1: You big, but can you catch that little guy? Right? Yeah? 723 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,239 Speaker 1: And they know exactly where they're gonna be. Yeah, and 724 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,879 Speaker 1: they got and as Jason said in his press conference today, 725 00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 1: they've got every gap cover. It's confusing to the offense, 726 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,919 Speaker 1: but once but they know what they're now. And that's 727 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,759 Speaker 1: the other thing that they do is just like back 728 00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,520 Speaker 1: in the day when Bill Belichick had Everson Walls and 729 00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:28,400 Speaker 1: then he made sure that he had Everson Walls when 730 00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,799 Speaker 1: he became a head coach with the Cleveland Browns. They've 731 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,359 Speaker 1: got guys that are smart who and and that's how 732 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 1: they they think Belichick. Yeah, yeah, let's not go too far. 733 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:42,800 Speaker 1: Come on, not this week now, not this week, this week? 734 00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,319 Speaker 1: All right, Well, the break guys are waiting out there 735 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,319 Speaker 1: to come in here, so we can take we can 736 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,239 Speaker 1: take that minute.
