<v Speaker 1>I like that we're back together for the first time

0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:33.800
<v Speaker 1>in a while a while. It seems like a long time, Agoll.

0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:37.519
<v Speaker 1>I think it was November. It was, Yeah, that's right,

0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:41.920
<v Speaker 1>it was a month ago. There you feel any you know,

0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:44.760
<v Speaker 1>and it feels like the weeks are just racing by.

0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:47.400
<v Speaker 1>And part of it has to do I think with

0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:52.279
<v Speaker 1>Thanksgiving week, went back to back Thursday games certainly had

0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:56.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot to do with, right, and then even just myself, Okay,

0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Thanksgiving week and then I went to New Orleans for

0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 1>the game last week, and so those two weeks raced by,

0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:06.000
<v Speaker 1>and now here it is and I'm my Christmas Day shopping,

0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:09.479
<v Speaker 1>Christmas Eve shopping is fast approaching, and I'm actually putting

0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:12.680
<v Speaker 1>up lights this early. This is early for my family. Yeah,

0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:15.600
<v Speaker 1>we actually have we're putting up lights like this weekend.

0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:18.600
<v Speaker 1>We already have the indoors done all that, so I'm

0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:21.320
<v Speaker 1>ready to go. Man, my wife gets the indoors done,

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.720
<v Speaker 1>like the day after Thanksgiving. Yeah, that's well. Know, all

0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:26.760
<v Speaker 1>the hard part is get bringing the boxes down from

0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:29.760
<v Speaker 1>the attic. Yeah, that's that's she was on it. I

0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:31.840
<v Speaker 1>didn't have to do it. No, no, what I was.

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 1>I didn't have to do it. I was shocked and

0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:36.640
<v Speaker 1>like right there, I'm like, oh, I need to go

0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:39.160
<v Speaker 1>out of town often. Yeah, where do you store your boxes?

0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:44.000
<v Speaker 1>I need to know? And how many boxes do you have?

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Not only about four? Oh? Just for no, the hard

0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 1>parts taking the tree down, because then you got to

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:53.280
<v Speaker 1>put everything back away. It's not half of it, no, no,

0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 1>because yeah, you take too much care with it, wrap

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:02.320
<v Speaker 1>it up and throw it in the claws. Yeah all right,

0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:06.200
<v Speaker 1>So here we are and not everybody is back to

0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:10.280
<v Speaker 1>the Star in Frisco, but we are back to the Star. Yes. Yes,

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:15.000
<v Speaker 1>How did Landry Award go? It went very well last night.

0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:17.880
<v Speaker 1>We in the past and what the Landry Award is

0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:20.480
<v Speaker 1>for those who are not in the area, it's this

0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:23.520
<v Speaker 1>is the twelfth year we've done it. It's in partnership

0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.839
<v Speaker 1>with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. The Landry Award goes

0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 1>to the top high school football player in North Texas

0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:36.000
<v Speaker 1>and U and as the coach of the year as well.

0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:40.800
<v Speaker 1>That's right, And it was five finalists and unfortunately we

0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:44.400
<v Speaker 1>had to do it by zoom again this year. We

0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 1>did it virtually, but we we did get them, the

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:49.600
<v Speaker 1>five finalists together right out here at the Star last Sunday.

0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:53.079
<v Speaker 1>I'd made it a little more special this year, h

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:55.160
<v Speaker 1>And we got their parents. What I really like about

0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:58.440
<v Speaker 1>it is we've got the parents talking about the kids,

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:01.440
<v Speaker 1>and the parents get all emotional talk about especially for

0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:05.640
<v Speaker 1>these kids, they're all seniors. Yeah, and so for any

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 1>for any parent who's had a child who's left the nest,

0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:13.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, and it's sometimes it's the dad that's the

0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:16.360
<v Speaker 1>one that gets emotional, and sometimes it's the mom. In

0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.200
<v Speaker 1>this case, the winner of the Landry Award, Josh Hoover,

0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:25.000
<v Speaker 1>made news yesterday. He committed to TCU yesterday rock Wall

0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Heath High School quarterback and so he had committed to

0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Indiana and they had fired their offensive coordinator, so he

0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 1>reopened his recruiting. So he commits, he commits to TCU yesterday.

0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Ever happened in Indiana, Well, he was one of those

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.080
<v Speaker 1>late bloomers. In fact, there were two Rockwall quarterbacks. The

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.760
<v Speaker 1>rock Wall High School quarterback who set the Class six

0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:51.760
<v Speaker 1>A record for career passing yardage, Braden Locke, who's going

0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.920
<v Speaker 1>to Mississippi State. I think Dak Prescott had something to

0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:59.200
<v Speaker 1>do with it, but he was also one of the finalists. Whatever.

0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:03.520
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, it was that Josh's dad, Uh he got

0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:07.120
<v Speaker 1>emotional talking about him. Uh and uh, it was really

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 1>it was. And so I saw that for the first

0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:12.400
<v Speaker 1>time and then I'm supposed to come back on on camera.

0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 1>After I see him getting emotional, I'm like, I'm starting

0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.800
<v Speaker 1>to tear up myself. And so anyway, it was fun.

0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:22.839
<v Speaker 1>Which coach which coach was the Coach of the Year

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:28.480
<v Speaker 1>was from Chris Beam Where did you go to high schoolage?

0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Colleville Heritage coach Mark kirk martin Colleville Heritage High School,

0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.800
<v Speaker 1>who spent a number of years, like twelve years at

0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Manville High School And in fact, this brings him back

0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:45.720
<v Speaker 1>to the Cowboys. He was the head coach at Manville

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:50.560
<v Speaker 1>High School when Highland Park and John Stephen Jones Stephen Jones'

0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:54.159
<v Speaker 1>son Jerry Jones grandson won a state championship game in

0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:58.600
<v Speaker 1>what I still say is the greatest football game I

0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:02.760
<v Speaker 1>have ever seen. In fact, you saw the did you

0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:07.520
<v Speaker 1>see the Baylor Oklahoma State Big twelve Championship. The game

0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:10.599
<v Speaker 1>came down to the last play of the game where

0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:14.159
<v Speaker 1>and it was at AT and T Stadium. I think

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:15.920
<v Speaker 1>it was the same corner of the end zone I'm

0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:18.760
<v Speaker 1>about to tell you about the high school state championship game.

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, the Oklahoma State running back gets caught just

0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:25.520
<v Speaker 1>inches shy of the pylon by the Baylor dB. All right,

0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:28.440
<v Speaker 1>that game against Highland Park. It went back and forth.

0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:31.920
<v Speaker 1>John Stephen Jones played an unbelievable game for Highland Park.

0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:33.800
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, he's a past winner of the

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Landry Award. And by the way, second finalist was with

0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Spencer Sanders, the Oklahoma State quarterback playing in that game.

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:44.279
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, they played against Manville in the state championship

0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.600
<v Speaker 1>game that same corner of the end zone at at

0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 1>and T Stadium. Manville throws a pass and the guys

0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.200
<v Speaker 1>running for a touchdown he got caught at the one

0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:55.040
<v Speaker 1>yard line on the last play of the game. Remember

0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:58.120
<v Speaker 1>that that kept them from from matching what John Stephen

0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:00.480
<v Speaker 1>had done. It just dawned on me. I believe it's

0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:03.720
<v Speaker 1>the same corner of the end zone at eighteen. It wasn't,

0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 1>but in my mind it was because it couldn't matter.

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Chris now, but this this entire season, you know, because

0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:14.880
<v Speaker 1>they all coming back. It's been a great season at

0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:18.000
<v Speaker 1>all levels, all levels. I'm loving that. I heard about

0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:22.160
<v Speaker 1>the South old Cliffe algo game, but big time upset. Yeah,

0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:26.120
<v Speaker 1>South Cliff Altho never gets beat and South Olcliffe is

0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:28.640
<v Speaker 1>usually that team that's in there, and you know, they

0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.400
<v Speaker 1>usually kind of and they about the state quarterfinal round

0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.880
<v Speaker 1>they lose. They won in the state quarterfinals over love

0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Joy this week and so they are in the state semifinals.

0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:42.160
<v Speaker 1>It's the first time since the nineteen fifth. Martin is

0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 1>looking down right now. Dallas I s d smiled down

0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.280
<v Speaker 1>as a shot at winning a state championship. They gotta

0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:52.799
<v Speaker 1>win two more games and Dallas Carter won in nineteen

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.320
<v Speaker 1>eighty eight and um, and of course that was taken away.

0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Took it away. Yeah, So so who do they have

0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:02.799
<v Speaker 1>to play a good question. We'll move on to cowboy

0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:09.120
<v Speaker 1>talk now. No guyers, no guyers. In six A Division two,

0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:11.720
<v Speaker 1>I can't remember who South O Cliff's playing. But we'll

0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:15.800
<v Speaker 1>move on, William. Let's talk about Cowboys. Yeah, well, cowboy talk.

0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Let's go and talk. They're playing Cooper. They're playing love

0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Ack Cooper. By the way, thank you out in Loveock,

0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:28.360
<v Speaker 1>who are shouting at your podcast right now? And the

0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys are playing Washingtons right And Mickey wrote a book

0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:35.200
<v Speaker 1>about this rivalry. He needs to write another book now.

0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:37.480
<v Speaker 1>That was a twenty years ago and a while since

0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:41.040
<v Speaker 1>this game is rivalry hasn't been hasn't meant anything since

0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:46.800
<v Speaker 1>you wrote the book. I think best rivalry in sports

0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:49.640
<v Speaker 1>really sixteen the game was critical, I think when they

0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:52.440
<v Speaker 1>met late in the season, and then twenty was at

0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:55.920
<v Speaker 1>twelve or thirteen when they met for the division title.

0:07:56.720 --> 0:08:00.880
<v Speaker 1>But it's been a while since these games have meant something. Um.

0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.480
<v Speaker 1>They certainly used to in the seventies and then the

0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:09.840
<v Speaker 1>early eighties personally seventies and eighties. Yeah, especially when wreath

0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:14.680
<v Speaker 1>into the seventy nine and then the early nineties, the

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.559
<v Speaker 1>first part of the nineties because the Redskins were still

0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:24.120
<v Speaker 1>winning and were the Redskins Okay, uh, they won the

0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl that ninety one season, and as a matter

0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:32.040
<v Speaker 1>of fact, it was the Cowboys. That probably kept them

0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:35.800
<v Speaker 1>from being undefeated that year, because they were undefeated until

0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:39.960
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys beat them in game twelve to twenty one,

0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:43.400
<v Speaker 1>and then they lost the last game of the season

0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:46.200
<v Speaker 1>because they didn't matter, so they finished fourteen and two.

0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:48.679
<v Speaker 1>Was that the on side kickstart second half? It was,

0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:51.240
<v Speaker 1>and it was the hall Mary to end the first half,

0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:55.520
<v Speaker 1>the first one that Troy Aikman ever completed too, by

0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:58.240
<v Speaker 1>the way, as the Hall Mary, because after the game,

0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:00.800
<v Speaker 1>I could remember him saying, it's like, yeah, every time

0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.400
<v Speaker 1>they call us throw a hill Mary, it's like, well,

0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:06.839
<v Speaker 1>there goes my quarterback rating because it's going to get intercepted, right.

0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:10.719
<v Speaker 1>These things never work, and this one worked and then

0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:13.839
<v Speaker 1>he got hurt. Steve Burline comes in, finishes the game,

0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:17.880
<v Speaker 1>and Michael Irvin caught what would be the u turned

0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:21.800
<v Speaker 1>out to be the winning touchdown, beating Darryl Green corner

0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.480
<v Speaker 1>of the end zone. A couple of Hall of Famer saying, yes,

0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:26.839
<v Speaker 1>absolutely it was. It was a really good game. And

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:30.559
<v Speaker 1>it was up there too, by the way, and Dale

0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Green out all the time, and then it was one

0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:36.360
<v Speaker 1>of those things that Achilles heal, Yeah, yeah, yeah, it

0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.600
<v Speaker 1>was a it was a really really good game. And

0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:41.840
<v Speaker 1>I've told the story before and I'll say it again

0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:43.600
<v Speaker 1>since I'm proud of it. Was the last time I

0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:46.280
<v Speaker 1>predicted a score and it came out right? Was the

0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:50.280
<v Speaker 1>sEH yeah, because you've been blowing them on pick for

0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:57.000
<v Speaker 1>quick Yeah, just fyi there and my good Fred Dale

0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.200
<v Speaker 1>had said on Wednesday said we didn't need to watch

0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:01.320
<v Speaker 1>the game. All you need to do is read the Times.

0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Harold and Mickey would have told you what the score was. Oh,

0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:07.559
<v Speaker 1>you got a reputation now. And the pick to click

0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:09.880
<v Speaker 1>was Michael Irvine by the way, you know what you go.

0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:13.079
<v Speaker 1>Who's the only person who remembers that me? That's right.

0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:16.120
<v Speaker 1>That's the thing about the all our predictions. The only

0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:20.319
<v Speaker 1>person that remembers predictions is yourself. We went over yesterday

0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:22.679
<v Speaker 1>and I said, we would have if we would put

0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:25.319
<v Speaker 1>us all together, we would have been a damn good

0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.400
<v Speaker 1>pick to click. Yeah, we all we all missed it

0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:30.680
<v Speaker 1>in one way or the other. We were close, but

0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:33.640
<v Speaker 1>no cigars. So I said, the only one that remembers

0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.280
<v Speaker 1>their picks is yourself. Well, I don't remember my pick.

0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.840
<v Speaker 1>You don't know now because it was way off. Okay, yeah,

0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:42.640
<v Speaker 1>forty something to whatever. I don't know. It wasn't. I

0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:47.120
<v Speaker 1>thought I would. I thought, I said, twenty seven seventy.

0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Right here, guys, what in twenty seven seventeen, seven seventeen

0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Bill Jones was? It was about sixteen thirteen. Okay, and

0:10:57.440 --> 0:10:59.680
<v Speaker 1>you said d Law would be the pick to click guy,

0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:02.439
<v Speaker 1>and so you got that point. I got that, right.

0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:06.920
<v Speaker 1>What did y'all have favorite? I had Prescott? And I

0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.280
<v Speaker 1>think my score was was it was twenty four sixteen.

0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:12.679
<v Speaker 1>So come on, but okay, pick the click? Who got

0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:15.000
<v Speaker 1>the better pick the click? I had Dak Prescott, I

0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:17.840
<v Speaker 1>said he didn't. He didn't get it with three. He

0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:21.959
<v Speaker 1>said gallup. The Spags had Gallop. His score was twenty

0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:25.439
<v Speaker 1>three twenty. Yeah, yeah, so don't if I don't get

0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:28.640
<v Speaker 1>the interception, I think I think the caveat on mine

0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:33.440
<v Speaker 1>was that I did not expect for I said, I

0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:35.520
<v Speaker 1>think for the snaps he would have in the game,

0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:38.800
<v Speaker 1>he wouldn't have an impact. But it wasn't it. It

0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:41.080
<v Speaker 1>didn't take a genius to figure that out when you

0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:44.760
<v Speaker 1>considered that the Saints didn't have their offensive tackles. Yeah,

0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:48.560
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, you were every one of us. We were close.

0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:51.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna pick Michael Parsons every week from that

0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:54.080
<v Speaker 1>and I'm just gonna pick that, just say that. Okay,

0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:56.480
<v Speaker 1>I'll just drop it down to two fifty. There you go,

0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:59.280
<v Speaker 1>there you go. All right, Um, so you gotta what

0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:01.600
<v Speaker 1>update you have for us here? Well, by the way,

0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:03.840
<v Speaker 1>what I would like to get into today, And of

0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:08.200
<v Speaker 1>course Mike Apple watch doesn't work because my phone updated today,

0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:12.080
<v Speaker 1>and that's another story to get that in. Got the rant,

0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:15.880
<v Speaker 1>that's a half a rant I would like to get

0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:20.000
<v Speaker 1>into in the second segment, what is the identity of

0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:22.920
<v Speaker 1>this Cowboys offense? But bring us up to see maybe

0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:25.120
<v Speaker 1>what we need to know. Maybe it should be run

0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:29.080
<v Speaker 1>the ball sixty eight out of seventy two plays, right, Well,

0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:31.839
<v Speaker 1>we'll set up the next segment with that. Well, we're

0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:33.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna set up the next segment with that. So it

0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:36.720
<v Speaker 1>sounds like Mike McCarthy. As soon as he'll be back

0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:40.040
<v Speaker 1>in the building is Thursday. That's when his ten days

0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:46.079
<v Speaker 1>are up. So evidently he hasn't tested negative twice within

0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:50.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty four hours yet. So Thursday is ten days and

0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:52.679
<v Speaker 1>we'll see if he's back in the building. My understanding

0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:56.559
<v Speaker 1>is the strength and conditioning staff should be good to go.

0:12:56.800 --> 0:13:00.440
<v Speaker 1>The offensive line coaches, Joe Philbin, Jeff blastco should be

0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:05.040
<v Speaker 1>good to go. We haven't heard any more positive tests.

0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:08.720
<v Speaker 1>We'll find out more. I guess Michael do his virtual

0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:16.640
<v Speaker 1>press conference tomorrow. Dan Quinn sounded and Jerry sounded very

0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:22.040
<v Speaker 1>hopeful that Neville Gallimore would be back, that Randy Gregory

0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:29.360
<v Speaker 1>has a chance to be back, and Terrence Steele should

0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:32.600
<v Speaker 1>be back from COVID. So it looks like they're going

0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:36.080
<v Speaker 1>to be possibly as healthy as they've been. And I

0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:42.920
<v Speaker 1>thought the the best nugget from dan Quinn yesterday was

0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:47.199
<v Speaker 1>he said, we're certainly will certainly be looking forward to

0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:51.440
<v Speaker 1>getting Randy and Mike gun in Law all together. He said,

0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:55.120
<v Speaker 1>if you would have told me at the beginning of

0:13:55.160 --> 0:14:00.199
<v Speaker 1>the year that those three guys going into Week fourteen

0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:04.640
<v Speaker 1>would have only played twenty eight snaps together, he said,

0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:07.760
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't have believed you. So that's all those three

0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:11.800
<v Speaker 1>guys have played four naps. He didn't say the part

0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:15.480
<v Speaker 1>about yeah, n B eight and four. But think about it,

0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:19.720
<v Speaker 1>because those snaps basically came in the season opener right

0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:23.440
<v Speaker 1>where they all three. Because Randy Gregory started the season right,

0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:26.560
<v Speaker 1>he wasn't well, they would have been yeah, because Lawrence

0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:31.000
<v Speaker 1>missed every game until Thursday, right, and so going into

0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:35.920
<v Speaker 1>that game, um, and then and he played I believe

0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:39.880
<v Speaker 1>it was thirty seven snaps on Thursday, but Randy Gregory

0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:42.440
<v Speaker 1>wasn't playing, So yeah, you have to go back to

0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:45.960
<v Speaker 1>that season opener. Remember they could him on a pitch

0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:49.880
<v Speaker 1>count because he didn't play the previous year, right, Uh,

0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:54.800
<v Speaker 1>and then came back missed the was rehabbing, I mean,

0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:58.640
<v Speaker 1>didn't miss the previous year, but Parsons obviously wasn't here.

0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:02.120
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, so get those three guys back on the

0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:05.880
<v Speaker 1>field together, and just think of the different things you

0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:09.560
<v Speaker 1>can do playing those guys. You know, you can have

0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Gregory and Lawrence at defensive end, mica at linebacker. You

0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:17.960
<v Speaker 1>can go to Nickel and have Micah the left defensive

0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:21.440
<v Speaker 1>end and move to Marcus Lawrence inside as a pass

0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:27.840
<v Speaker 1>rushing defensive tackle. You can stand up Gregory and Parsons

0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:31.680
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of a four man line and they

0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:34.920
<v Speaker 1>could be the two guys that they were using standing up.

0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:37.760
<v Speaker 1>So there's so many different things they can do if

0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:39.880
<v Speaker 1>they can get all three back on the field together.

0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Before we go, When you think about the season opener

0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:47.120
<v Speaker 1>and we had everyone and you look at the defense now,

0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:51.160
<v Speaker 1>they're better now. Yes, even with you know, being depleted

0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:56.800
<v Speaker 1>from with certain personnel, were still a better defense than

0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:59.360
<v Speaker 1>we were opening night. That's kind and that was kind

0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:04.080
<v Speaker 1>of Quinn's point on that is because because so many

0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:06.080
<v Speaker 1>people have had to play, what was it thirty three

0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:09.840
<v Speaker 1>different players who have played on defense. Yes, they because

0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:12.240
<v Speaker 1>so many have played, they're in a better position now

0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:14.960
<v Speaker 1>than it had they not had the attrition and they

0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:17.720
<v Speaker 1>could be more versatile, right, And you got guys that

0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:21.680
<v Speaker 1>had been pressed into duty and now they know that

0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:24.240
<v Speaker 1>what they can do and that they're they're in the

0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:29.720
<v Speaker 1>system basically, although that were gods now and Spags always

0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:32.920
<v Speaker 1>talks about the next man up being kind of, you know,

0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:38.200
<v Speaker 1>as good as but in this regard, we have seen

0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:40.800
<v Speaker 1>players step up who are not as good as the

0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:43.200
<v Speaker 1>starters and still make a hell of an impact. Right,

0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:45.720
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, in that regard, you can Although the shocking

0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:49.000
<v Speaker 1>thing I noticed on the defense was they came out

0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:54.440
<v Speaker 1>of the Atlantic game, uh, fifteenth in total defense. They

0:16:54.480 --> 0:17:00.760
<v Speaker 1>have fallen to twenty seven. Now, wow, that is and

0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:02.880
<v Speaker 1>that was the Atlanta and that was a game against

0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Kansas City where it was a nineteen to nine game right, Okay,

0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:10.920
<v Speaker 1>wasn't like them talking total yards? Yeah, so they were fifteenth.

0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:14.240
<v Speaker 1>They're twenty seventh now and twenty eighth against the pass

0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:18.119
<v Speaker 1>because they've given up those big raiders that had that

0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:22.080
<v Speaker 1>sounds so a whole bunch. Yeah, big, big, big play.

0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:23.800
<v Speaker 1>Got to get you to make your plays, but you

0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:27.160
<v Speaker 1>give up the play, right, yeah? Absolutely all right? When

0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:30.880
<v Speaker 1>we come back on mix shots, what is the identity

0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:34.359
<v Speaker 1>of this football team and could they win a game

0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:40.399
<v Speaker 1>throwing three passes? When we come back, Hey Cowboys fans,

0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:16.040
<v Speaker 1>think of that Monday night game? Last night? I saw

0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:19.800
<v Speaker 1>a story, I think it was before the game that

0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:26.920
<v Speaker 1>the Buffalo Bill's ownership is trying to get past whatever

0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:30.200
<v Speaker 1>to get a new stadium, and they kind of wanted

0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:33.280
<v Speaker 1>to build it in Orchard Park or whatever. And I've

0:20:33.280 --> 0:20:38.520
<v Speaker 1>got one sex suggestion for him. A roof. Okay, you're

0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:41.520
<v Speaker 1>in Buffalo. I was riding in listening to a radio

0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:44.919
<v Speaker 1>show and they mentioned your name. They said that this

0:20:45.119 --> 0:20:50.880
<v Speaker 1>was your dome a roof. There is no other they're

0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:54.400
<v Speaker 1>talking about you and some other mickey, no other sport

0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:58.760
<v Speaker 1>that plays in fifty to fifty mile an hour wind. Right,

0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:02.040
<v Speaker 1>the poor dropped the ball to kick it and itn't

0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:07.919
<v Speaker 1>moved and he shanked it. Yeah, remember Icago bears, Yes, right,

0:21:09.280 --> 0:21:13.840
<v Speaker 1>a roof. You're in Buffalo. There's a lake there. It's

0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:17.720
<v Speaker 1>the same by Chicago there. So here's the deal. You

0:21:17.800 --> 0:21:20.600
<v Speaker 1>know how they all talk about that's home field advantage. Well,

0:21:20.720 --> 0:21:26.919
<v Speaker 1>home fields down right, because their quarterback got neutered, couldn't

0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:29.920
<v Speaker 1>throw the ball, and they decided all we're gonna do

0:21:30.040 --> 0:21:32.199
<v Speaker 1>is run the ball. See if you can stop one

0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:35.280
<v Speaker 1>of these days. Goodness gracious, he might have been able

0:21:35.320 --> 0:21:36.760
<v Speaker 1>to do. You know, you might with the roof. You

0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:39.120
<v Speaker 1>might have scored two touchdowns and could have won the game.

0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:42.240
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna there's gonna be a b match two weeks

0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:44.919
<v Speaker 1>from Yes, you're right. I love to see how that

0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:48.000
<v Speaker 1>turns out. Because as much as the weather still gonna

0:21:48.000 --> 0:21:49.760
<v Speaker 1>be bad because there's new England I'm gonna be playing

0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:52.280
<v Speaker 1>New England not nearly as bad as Buffalo, let's just

0:21:52.320 --> 0:21:55.240
<v Speaker 1>face it, most likely, and I would love to see

0:21:55.440 --> 0:21:58.120
<v Speaker 1>how this game comes out and how Josh Allen would play.

0:21:58.160 --> 0:21:59.679
<v Speaker 1>And maybe you don't miss a field goal when all

0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:05.520
<v Speaker 1>of a sudd and the ball takes but boom, wow, seriously,

0:22:06.680 --> 0:22:11.879
<v Speaker 1>get a roof. Okay, Cowboys have just played the first

0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:15.280
<v Speaker 1>of three straight road games. The first one was under

0:22:15.320 --> 0:22:18.240
<v Speaker 1>a roof in New Orleans. They did okay there, Okay.

0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:21.680
<v Speaker 1>Now playing at Washington. Have they built a roof in Washington?

0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:24.399
<v Speaker 1>They have not. Have they built one at the Meadowlands?

0:22:24.400 --> 0:22:27.879
<v Speaker 1>Because that's the following we definitely not. No, it'll be

0:22:27.920 --> 0:22:32.960
<v Speaker 1>cold and the wind will blow. Let's still, you know,

0:22:32.800 --> 0:22:36.160
<v Speaker 1>you don't usually get snow and fifty mile an hour

0:22:36.359 --> 0:22:39.880
<v Speaker 1>gusts of winds at twenty three. Now, what the giants

0:22:39.920 --> 0:22:41.639
<v Speaker 1>would do? I think they said they would open up

0:22:41.680 --> 0:22:45.440
<v Speaker 1>the gates of something and allow the wind to come

0:22:45.440 --> 0:22:49.440
<v Speaker 1>through when they used to do at the Old State.

0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:52.399
<v Speaker 1>That's what they said they would do. I didn't see it. Yeah,

0:22:52.400 --> 0:22:55.000
<v Speaker 1>that's what they said they would do, and it would somehow,

0:22:55.040 --> 0:22:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I always blow the opposition those doors all of a

0:22:58.000 --> 0:23:01.399
<v Speaker 1>sudden would raise the end. There you go. I'm looking

0:23:01.440 --> 0:23:05.440
<v Speaker 1>at the forecast for Landover Maryland on Sunday on Saturday,

0:23:05.520 --> 0:23:09.440
<v Speaker 1>eighty percent chance of rain, high of seventy two Sunday,

0:23:09.600 --> 0:23:11.680
<v Speaker 1>a low of thirty four, a high of fifty five

0:23:11.760 --> 0:23:16.199
<v Speaker 1>and partly cloudy. So just wonderful. Okay, bring in the

0:23:16.280 --> 0:23:19.720
<v Speaker 1>NFC East. I think the worst team with the worst

0:23:19.720 --> 0:23:23.720
<v Speaker 1>weather consistently was the Giants. Yes, rookie you I think

0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:26.439
<v Speaker 1>it was Winshield thirteen degrees or something like that. There

0:23:26.560 --> 0:23:30.520
<v Speaker 1>was overtime over time thirteen degrees below. Come on, there

0:23:30.520 --> 0:23:33.679
<v Speaker 1>were some cold ones in Philadelphia, that's true. Now. I

0:23:33.760 --> 0:23:36.280
<v Speaker 1>missed the one in eighty because that that's supposed to

0:23:36.280 --> 0:23:37.960
<v Speaker 1>be one of the cold games they played for the

0:23:38.280 --> 0:23:41.160
<v Speaker 1>play a little of Montgomery playoff games. No one Cowboys

0:23:41.200 --> 0:23:43.760
<v Speaker 1>wanted to play in higher cold. I heard that was

0:23:43.920 --> 0:23:48.240
<v Speaker 1>least the theory. And of course, the last game of

0:23:48.240 --> 0:23:50.760
<v Speaker 1>the year is at Philadelphia, so that of these last

0:23:50.800 --> 0:23:54.199
<v Speaker 1>five games, you've got three on the road in what

0:23:54.320 --> 0:23:58.400
<v Speaker 1>could be um less than ideal weather situation. The old

0:23:58.520 --> 0:24:02.840
<v Speaker 1>vet the press by used to be they would have

0:24:02.920 --> 0:24:06.199
<v Speaker 1>the Philadelphia writers in a box to the left in

0:24:06.240 --> 0:24:09.080
<v Speaker 1>the middle was the radio broadcast, and then to the

0:24:09.200 --> 0:24:13.159
<v Speaker 1>right was where the visiting media was, as if we

0:24:13.160 --> 0:24:16.919
<v Speaker 1>were visiting, right, It's like we're not the visitors. And

0:24:17.200 --> 0:24:19.960
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the press box there was a

0:24:20.080 --> 0:24:23.720
<v Speaker 1>huge window that they would take out so the TV

0:24:23.920 --> 0:24:27.840
<v Speaker 1>camera could be on the high on the sideline. And

0:24:27.920 --> 0:24:32.480
<v Speaker 1>it didn't matter what the weather was, that window came out, right,

0:24:32.720 --> 0:24:35.359
<v Speaker 1>and we're sitting in there one year and it's twenty

0:24:35.400 --> 0:24:38.240
<v Speaker 1>some degrees and you know, you came dressed to be

0:24:38.320 --> 0:24:40.879
<v Speaker 1>indoors in the press box, right, Wow, we might as

0:24:40.880 --> 0:24:43.920
<v Speaker 1>well been sitting in the stands, right. And I remember,

0:24:44.359 --> 0:24:50.320
<v Speaker 1>I remember the cameraman was getting just at Randy. Randy

0:24:50.359 --> 0:24:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Galloway just shouted at him one time, can't you just

0:24:53.200 --> 0:24:58.480
<v Speaker 1>shut that window? And then after the game, media guys,

0:24:59.280 --> 0:25:02.000
<v Speaker 1>y'all can be on the auoy. Sometimes after the game

0:25:02.280 --> 0:25:04.600
<v Speaker 1>they wouldn't put the window back in. They would just

0:25:04.760 --> 0:25:06.600
<v Speaker 1>leave it out. So then you had to go find

0:25:06.680 --> 0:25:09.880
<v Speaker 1>somewhere to write so you weren't freezing, because it's hard

0:25:09.920 --> 0:25:13.359
<v Speaker 1>to type when you've got gloves on, right, And it

0:25:13.400 --> 0:25:16.600
<v Speaker 1>was just miserable, just absolutely miserable. And the other thing

0:25:17.000 --> 0:25:20.959
<v Speaker 1>that when we would complain about it's October and it's cold.

0:25:21.200 --> 0:25:23.080
<v Speaker 1>It's like, why don't you put the windows in? Oh?

0:25:23.359 --> 0:25:26.560
<v Speaker 1>The park District runs this and they have a rule

0:25:26.600 --> 0:25:30.359
<v Speaker 1>about when the windows back up, right, Yeah, give me

0:25:30.400 --> 0:25:33.719
<v Speaker 1>a break, it's cold. Put the windows up, all right.

0:25:33.760 --> 0:25:38.360
<v Speaker 1>So Mac Jones was two of three passing for nineteen yards.

0:25:38.480 --> 0:25:43.200
<v Speaker 1>Is the Patriots beat Bills fourteen to ten the snowplow

0:25:43.280 --> 0:25:47.360
<v Speaker 1>game in nineteen eighty two. December nineteen eighty two, Patriots

0:25:47.400 --> 0:25:50.479
<v Speaker 1>beat the Dolphins three to nothing. Steve Grogan was two

0:25:50.520 --> 0:25:54.160
<v Speaker 1>of five for thirteen yards. At least threw it five times. Yeah,

0:25:54.200 --> 0:25:56.920
<v Speaker 1>he threw it five times. Jones only threw it three times.

0:25:57.320 --> 0:25:59.879
<v Speaker 1>That was the worst. I mean, come on, that's like

0:26:00.160 --> 0:26:03.359
<v Speaker 1>being in the flood. But it's snow right, because it

0:26:03.480 --> 0:26:07.200
<v Speaker 1>wasn't they It wasn't just that it was packed. It

0:26:07.240 --> 0:26:09.400
<v Speaker 1>was fluffy. It looked like it was about that high.

0:26:09.680 --> 0:26:11.679
<v Speaker 1>Look about six inches off to you. I mean, come on,

0:26:11.760 --> 0:26:13.520
<v Speaker 1>you don't know why, you don't know where you're stepping.

0:26:13.720 --> 0:26:17.280
<v Speaker 1>And here comes the guy on the little snowblower or whatever. Okay,

0:26:17.359 --> 0:26:21.960
<v Speaker 1>let's get the line here. So the next con I mean,

0:26:22.000 --> 0:26:27.480
<v Speaker 1>you can't write this down right, So yes, the makeup

0:26:27.520 --> 0:26:31.040
<v Speaker 1>of this Cowboys team. The identity of this Cowboys offense

0:26:31.160 --> 0:26:34.560
<v Speaker 1>right now? Could they win a game in those conditions?

0:26:36.000 --> 0:26:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Not the way this offensive line's blocking of late um,

0:26:41.400 --> 0:26:44.240
<v Speaker 1>So it has the identity of this team. This offense

0:26:44.520 --> 0:26:48.080
<v Speaker 1>changed from the six game win streak to where it

0:26:48.160 --> 0:26:50.919
<v Speaker 1>is right now. Well, the identity of the team changed

0:26:51.000 --> 0:26:56.080
<v Speaker 1>because they were basically averaging thirty some points a game.

0:26:56.480 --> 0:27:00.320
<v Speaker 1>And if you look at the last six games, only

0:27:00.400 --> 0:27:04.520
<v Speaker 1>twice if they scored more than thirty well, yeah, twice

0:27:04.600 --> 0:27:07.640
<v Speaker 1>more than thirty points, thirty three and the overtime loss

0:27:07.680 --> 0:27:11.280
<v Speaker 1>to the Raiders, and forty was at forty one, about

0:27:11.320 --> 0:27:16.480
<v Speaker 1>forty three against Atlanta. Everything else in the last six

0:27:16.520 --> 0:27:19.760
<v Speaker 1>when they've gone three and three has been twenty sixteen, nine,

0:27:20.080 --> 0:27:27.760
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven. And yeah that's the three games. So yeah,

0:27:27.800 --> 0:27:30.440
<v Speaker 1>they're not scoring, they're not moving the football the way

0:27:30.440 --> 0:27:33.520
<v Speaker 1>they used to, and they've got to hope that getting

0:27:33.560 --> 0:27:37.560
<v Speaker 1>their receivers back, getting this offensive line and some sort

0:27:37.600 --> 0:27:43.439
<v Speaker 1>of continuity back gets them moving the football once again.

0:27:44.000 --> 0:27:48.840
<v Speaker 1>All Right, I'm gonna put the name out there, Kinna Williams. Yes,

0:27:49.160 --> 0:27:51.439
<v Speaker 1>how a thing's been going since Connor has been on

0:27:51.480 --> 0:27:55.359
<v Speaker 1>the bench, less holding calls, but not as well consistently

0:27:55.440 --> 0:27:58.639
<v Speaker 1>blocking I think at that position. To me, so what

0:27:58.720 --> 0:28:01.280
<v Speaker 1>were we talking about with McGovern then is he what

0:28:01.280 --> 0:28:03.480
<v Speaker 1>we thought he was or is he that backup or

0:28:03.560 --> 0:28:06.600
<v Speaker 1>that is he truly the next guy up? Yeah? Yeah?

0:28:06.640 --> 0:28:09.480
<v Speaker 1>And I and to me, at this point, if you

0:28:09.560 --> 0:28:13.280
<v Speaker 1>look at the production and the ability to run the football,

0:28:13.680 --> 0:28:16.560
<v Speaker 1>and I know everybody wants to talk about Zeke and

0:28:16.600 --> 0:28:20.239
<v Speaker 1>the injury, but you know what he's getting met at

0:28:20.240 --> 0:28:23.919
<v Speaker 1>the liners. He is getting met at with this stuff

0:28:23.960 --> 0:28:26.760
<v Speaker 1>that well before he was pushing the pile four yards,

0:28:26.840 --> 0:28:30.920
<v Speaker 1>well before there was a little you know, they negated

0:28:31.000 --> 0:28:34.000
<v Speaker 1>the rush you know from me from the defensive line

0:28:34.040 --> 0:28:37.560
<v Speaker 1>before there was movement on the offensive line. There is

0:28:37.600 --> 0:28:39.360
<v Speaker 1>no more movement. And we talked about it the other day.

0:28:39.360 --> 0:28:41.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you will hear Bill. They are

0:28:41.320 --> 0:28:45.600
<v Speaker 1>escaping from our our linement, the defensive lineman. They are

0:28:45.640 --> 0:28:49.720
<v Speaker 1>not our offensive lineman, not holding their blocks nearly long enough,

0:28:49.960 --> 0:28:54.000
<v Speaker 1>and they are coming uh directly at our running backs

0:28:54.160 --> 0:28:56.760
<v Speaker 1>with with with no one in their way. And and

0:28:56.920 --> 0:28:59.600
<v Speaker 1>the fact was unabated did I use it unabated? It's

0:28:59.640 --> 0:29:02.720
<v Speaker 1>good could go. That's how they come out to spell it.

0:29:05.720 --> 0:29:08.040
<v Speaker 1>But but and then and then here's the other problem

0:29:08.120 --> 0:29:11.400
<v Speaker 1>when when you you played what, uh a game and

0:29:11.440 --> 0:29:15.280
<v Speaker 1>a half, two games without your top two wide receivers

0:29:15.560 --> 0:29:18.080
<v Speaker 1>and your other one had just come back and played,

0:29:19.080 --> 0:29:21.440
<v Speaker 1>and now you're looks like, I don't know if the

0:29:21.520 --> 0:29:24.000
<v Speaker 1>routes are right or what. But now the passing game,

0:29:24.280 --> 0:29:28.440
<v Speaker 1>he's not getting protected very well. You're getting drop passes.

0:29:28.760 --> 0:29:31.600
<v Speaker 1>And Jerry pointed out when you look at some of this,

0:29:32.040 --> 0:29:34.600
<v Speaker 1>look at some of the routes they're running, like how

0:29:34.640 --> 0:29:39.400
<v Speaker 1>precise are they because that affects the quarterback to do so, Yeah,

0:29:39.440 --> 0:29:42.160
<v Speaker 1>it's just if you couldn't block up front. And that

0:29:42.320 --> 0:29:46.120
<v Speaker 1>was that was when when Kellen Moore was starting to

0:29:46.200 --> 0:29:50.720
<v Speaker 1>talk about the stuff yesterday about the offense. Uh, you

0:29:50.760 --> 0:29:55.520
<v Speaker 1>know he was talking about uh, I guess the question

0:29:55.680 --> 0:29:58.440
<v Speaker 1>was they they were struggling on third down and I

0:29:58.480 --> 0:30:03.080
<v Speaker 1>think they were two of thirte against the Saints. And

0:30:03.960 --> 0:30:07.239
<v Speaker 1>then he said it's important to have continuity on the

0:30:07.320 --> 0:30:11.160
<v Speaker 1>offensive line and throughout our offense to get ourselves going.

0:30:11.520 --> 0:30:14.280
<v Speaker 1>The more these guys are together, the more we practice,

0:30:14.320 --> 0:30:17.280
<v Speaker 1>get back to traditional week for the next weeks, all

0:30:17.320 --> 0:30:19.520
<v Speaker 1>that stuff's going to piece together and give us an

0:30:19.560 --> 0:30:23.160
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to get going. We just have to launch into

0:30:23.240 --> 0:30:27.600
<v Speaker 1>this December football. And then when it went to well

0:30:27.760 --> 0:30:32.200
<v Speaker 1>you're with these third downs, he's saying, well, yeah, here's

0:30:32.200 --> 0:30:35.000
<v Speaker 1>the best way to get third downs converted. Do better

0:30:35.080 --> 0:30:37.760
<v Speaker 1>on first and second down. And they were having trouble

0:30:37.840 --> 0:30:41.480
<v Speaker 1>running the first down. So now, But when you look

0:30:41.520 --> 0:30:44.040
<v Speaker 1>at it, it does also affect the way that Kellen

0:30:44.160 --> 0:30:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Moore caused the plays because he looks like a genius

0:30:47.360 --> 0:30:50.160
<v Speaker 1>when everything's working right, when when the defensive when offensive

0:30:50.200 --> 0:30:52.960
<v Speaker 1>line is working well, and everybody's gone, all the personnel

0:30:53.080 --> 0:30:55.960
<v Speaker 1>is there, everything is looking good, and he is a genius.

0:30:56.400 --> 0:30:58.480
<v Speaker 1>But I want to see that guy bring us out

0:30:58.480 --> 0:31:02.320
<v Speaker 1>of this doldrum right while we're having issues. While while

0:31:02.320 --> 0:31:06.760
<v Speaker 1>we're having these problems, I want that offensive coordinator ignite something,

0:31:07.080 --> 0:31:11.960
<v Speaker 1>create a play, create offensive line blocking schemes like you

0:31:12.000 --> 0:31:13.760
<v Speaker 1>saw with the Patriots last night. They were in a

0:31:13.840 --> 0:31:16.280
<v Speaker 1>trap plate. Were the last time the Cowboys were in

0:31:16.360 --> 0:31:19.040
<v Speaker 1>a trap plate? I mean, the trap play is amazing,

0:31:19.360 --> 0:31:21.520
<v Speaker 1>and you need someone with a quick hitter that's gonna

0:31:21.560 --> 0:31:23.680
<v Speaker 1>get up the middle. If you're gonna do it with anybody,

0:31:23.680 --> 0:31:25.760
<v Speaker 1>of course, you might think Polock. But if you want

0:31:25.760 --> 0:31:28.560
<v Speaker 1>to open up something for Zeke, get him a trap

0:31:28.560 --> 0:31:30.040
<v Speaker 1>play and get him up in there to where he

0:31:30.040 --> 0:31:33.800
<v Speaker 1>can have some daylight to run up. And if you

0:31:33.840 --> 0:31:37.640
<v Speaker 1>look at at at at the game at New Orleans,

0:31:38.360 --> 0:31:42.240
<v Speaker 1>that first possession they ended up third and ten, Well,

0:31:42.280 --> 0:31:44.680
<v Speaker 1>what do you think happened? Well, they didn't convert him right.

0:31:45.360 --> 0:31:49.960
<v Speaker 1>The second possession they were third and three and they

0:31:50.040 --> 0:31:54.680
<v Speaker 1>threw a little dump pass outside and they gained two yards.

0:31:55.640 --> 0:31:58.280
<v Speaker 1>The next possession they did pick up a third and seven,

0:31:59.240 --> 0:32:03.680
<v Speaker 1>and then the next possession they ended up going for

0:32:03.840 --> 0:32:08.040
<v Speaker 1>it on fourth and eight. So they were getting into

0:32:08.080 --> 0:32:12.840
<v Speaker 1>those situations where that they you know, you have to

0:32:13.120 --> 0:32:16.440
<v Speaker 1>the next possession. After that, they did pick up a

0:32:16.480 --> 0:32:18.880
<v Speaker 1>first down, but it was they picked him up on

0:32:18.960 --> 0:32:21.760
<v Speaker 1>second down. And then it got to third and nine. Well,

0:32:21.800 --> 0:32:24.280
<v Speaker 1>what do you think those Saints did? They blitched and

0:32:24.280 --> 0:32:26.720
<v Speaker 1>then you end up kicking a field goals. So let's

0:32:26.800 --> 0:32:29.680
<v Speaker 1>let's look at the next possession, third and seven. So

0:32:29.720 --> 0:32:34.520
<v Speaker 1>they kept going in in these long third downs and

0:32:34.920 --> 0:32:38.960
<v Speaker 1>that's not conducive to picking him up on a regular basis. Yeah,

0:32:39.080 --> 0:32:41.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, when you when you have problems like that,

0:32:42.040 --> 0:32:44.160
<v Speaker 1>you have to look at what the quarterbacks doing or

0:32:44.160 --> 0:32:45.800
<v Speaker 1>at least trying to do. You have to protect him.

0:32:45.800 --> 0:32:48.160
<v Speaker 1>And the one thing I like about what he's not doing.

0:32:48.800 --> 0:32:51.360
<v Speaker 1>The old Dak would have tried to throw something in there,

0:32:51.960 --> 0:32:53.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, and they usually would have gotten picked off.

0:32:54.080 --> 0:32:56.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's been throwing. Like I said, the last

0:32:56.200 --> 0:32:59.200
<v Speaker 1>three possessions were a mystery to me on how all

0:32:59.200 --> 0:33:02.000
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden he wasn't able to complete passes because

0:33:02.040 --> 0:33:04.920
<v Speaker 1>before that he was on. But when you when you

0:33:04.920 --> 0:33:08.320
<v Speaker 1>see how he played later on, he could. He could

0:33:08.360 --> 0:33:12.440
<v Speaker 1>have in so many third down situations tried to force

0:33:12.440 --> 0:33:15.480
<v Speaker 1>an interception in there, because let's face it, the Saints

0:33:15.520 --> 0:33:19.040
<v Speaker 1>had some damn good coverage. There were not many open

0:33:19.160 --> 0:33:22.240
<v Speaker 1>receivers there, and you know there were times when you

0:33:22.240 --> 0:33:26.000
<v Speaker 1>saw Dak just to it in there. Anyway, besides those

0:33:26.080 --> 0:33:29.200
<v Speaker 1>last three possessions, I thought he was just really accurate

0:33:29.400 --> 0:33:32.520
<v Speaker 1>in regards to how he played. All Right, we continue

<v Speaker 1>you brought up the last few possessions of the game,

0:36:36.840 --> 0:36:38.440
<v Speaker 1>that's what I wanted to bring up. And it was

0:36:38.680 --> 0:36:42.279
<v Speaker 1>it was kind of on the heels of what I

0:36:42.320 --> 0:36:44.200
<v Speaker 1>was talking about, the identity of this team. And it

0:36:44.239 --> 0:36:48.040
<v Speaker 1>concerns me about this team if when they have a

0:36:48.120 --> 0:36:52.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty to ten lead in the fourth quarter, especially against

0:36:52.120 --> 0:36:54.799
<v Speaker 1>a team like New or well against any team, but

0:36:54.880 --> 0:36:59.480
<v Speaker 1>again in this game against the only way New Orleans

0:36:59.520 --> 0:37:01.439
<v Speaker 1>is going to be able to get back in that

0:37:01.480 --> 0:37:03.359
<v Speaker 1>game is if you cough it up and give them

0:37:03.360 --> 0:37:05.319
<v Speaker 1>good feel position or they get a you know, pick

0:37:05.400 --> 0:37:08.200
<v Speaker 1>six or something like that. All right, So the Cowboys

0:37:08.239 --> 0:37:10.480
<v Speaker 1>get the ball back with eight fifty seven left in

0:37:10.520 --> 0:37:13.399
<v Speaker 1>the game at their own thirty two yard line. First down,

0:37:13.440 --> 0:37:15.600
<v Speaker 1>they ran it to Zeke for three yards at second

0:37:15.640 --> 0:37:19.680
<v Speaker 1>and seven, then incomplete pass, and then on third and

0:37:19.800 --> 0:37:24.000
<v Speaker 1>seven it was the interception by Marshawn Lattimore and before

0:37:24.040 --> 0:37:28.080
<v Speaker 1>that play, it was like the offense was frantic at

0:37:28.080 --> 0:37:31.120
<v Speaker 1>the line of scrimmage, you know, the play clocks going down,

0:37:31.640 --> 0:37:34.719
<v Speaker 1>and it was was CD's waving and you know, like

0:37:34.760 --> 0:37:37.399
<v Speaker 1>he's doesn't know what the play is and Dad, he's

0:37:37.400 --> 0:37:39.759
<v Speaker 1>trying to pass it on to the outside. Right. The

0:37:39.880 --> 0:37:44.360
<v Speaker 1>noise is crazy out there, okay, And so and I

0:37:44.400 --> 0:37:47.400
<v Speaker 1>thought to myself, they're acting like they're behind twenty to

0:37:47.440 --> 0:37:50.080
<v Speaker 1>ten instead of ahead twenty to ten. And then Dak

0:37:50.239 --> 0:37:53.280
<v Speaker 1>throws a pass that was ill advised and he admitted

0:37:53.320 --> 0:37:57.440
<v Speaker 1>afterwards and interception. Okay. So on that possession he got

0:37:57.520 --> 0:37:59.719
<v Speaker 1>hit in the face, by the way. So on that possession,

0:38:00.000 --> 0:38:03.360
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys were at ran fifty two seconds off the clock.

0:38:03.480 --> 0:38:06.440
<v Speaker 1>They had one run, two passes, all right, So then

0:38:06.480 --> 0:38:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Taysom Hill gives them the ball back the Kaz interception.

0:38:09.400 --> 0:38:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys have it at the twenty six yard line with

0:38:11.520 --> 0:38:14.480
<v Speaker 1>six twenty four left. They run Pollard for five. Okay,

0:38:14.680 --> 0:38:19.080
<v Speaker 1>no problem with that, incomplete, incomplete punt, and they ran

0:38:19.600 --> 0:38:22.080
<v Speaker 1>a minute four off the clock there. So the Oneans

0:38:22.080 --> 0:38:23.960
<v Speaker 1>gets the ball back with five to twenty left, and

0:38:23.960 --> 0:38:26.520
<v Speaker 1>then they gave it back to the Cowboys with another interception.

0:38:26.920 --> 0:38:30.040
<v Speaker 1>But my concern is, at that point in the game,

0:38:30.600 --> 0:38:35.399
<v Speaker 1>you're ahead twenty to ten, I'm in favor if if

0:38:35.480 --> 0:38:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Zeke's hurt, whatever you don't want to, I'm in favor

0:38:38.400 --> 0:38:42.239
<v Speaker 1>of taking a knee three times, run two minutes off

0:38:42.239 --> 0:38:44.040
<v Speaker 1>the clock, and then give it back to them and

0:38:44.040 --> 0:38:47.160
<v Speaker 1>then next time, and they got to use their timeouts eventually.

0:38:47.200 --> 0:38:51.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm being facetious there, but run the ball. And the

0:38:51.719 --> 0:38:57.040
<v Speaker 1>reason they didn't because they couldn't. And I guarantee you

0:38:57.200 --> 0:39:00.360
<v Speaker 1>that factored in, and think about it. That's why I

0:39:00.400 --> 0:39:02.560
<v Speaker 1>know I don't care whether they can't run it or not.

0:39:02.760 --> 0:39:06.480
<v Speaker 1>I got at that point take time off the But

0:39:06.640 --> 0:39:11.640
<v Speaker 1>they finished rushing twenty four for one forty six. Well,

0:39:11.680 --> 0:39:14.480
<v Speaker 1>out of that one forty six was two plays and

0:39:14.640 --> 0:39:18.000
<v Speaker 1>one was kind of a pass play anyway, thirty three yards.

0:39:18.080 --> 0:39:22.279
<v Speaker 1>So they had ninety one yards on two plays and

0:39:22.560 --> 0:39:25.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty and in twenty two plays they had fifty five yards.

0:39:26.280 --> 0:39:30.720
<v Speaker 1>And concern, my concern, take it out of that game.

0:39:31.160 --> 0:39:33.880
<v Speaker 1>When we're talking about the final five games of this season.

0:39:34.160 --> 0:39:36.000
<v Speaker 1>You got three of them, and who knows what the

0:39:36.040 --> 0:39:37.759
<v Speaker 1>weather is gonna be. You gotta be able to run

0:39:37.840 --> 0:39:41.200
<v Speaker 1>the football in December and I'm not talking about the

0:39:41.320 --> 0:39:44.120
<v Speaker 1>game plan strategy run versus pass, but there's a certain

0:39:44.160 --> 0:39:45.839
<v Speaker 1>time in the game where you got a twenty ten

0:39:45.920 --> 0:39:48.400
<v Speaker 1>lead in the fourth. Every year you have to be

0:39:48.520 --> 0:39:54.320
<v Speaker 1>able run that football and gets in the game. Guess

0:39:54.320 --> 0:39:57.560
<v Speaker 1>what they were facing the third rank rush defense in

0:39:57.600 --> 0:40:01.919
<v Speaker 1>the league in New Orleans, and guess Washington now has

0:40:02.000 --> 0:40:04.960
<v Speaker 1>the third rush defense. So now you still have the

0:40:05.000 --> 0:40:08.840
<v Speaker 1>same problem. But earlier in the season this offense seemed

0:40:08.840 --> 0:40:12.040
<v Speaker 1>to have that same identity that it basically had Zeke's

0:40:12.080 --> 0:40:16.880
<v Speaker 1>rookie year, where and Zeke was running like he was

0:40:16.960 --> 0:40:20.120
<v Speaker 1>his rookie season earlier in the season. Clearly he's not now,

0:40:20.719 --> 0:40:23.160
<v Speaker 1>and so I think the identity of this offense has

0:40:23.239 --> 0:40:27.480
<v Speaker 1>changed right now. And we've talked about a lot of

0:40:27.480 --> 0:40:31.799
<v Speaker 1>the reasons why maybe it has changed. But I think

0:40:32.400 --> 0:40:34.440
<v Speaker 1>down the stretch of this season, you got to get

0:40:34.520 --> 0:40:36.880
<v Speaker 1>back to that. If you can, maybe they can't get that.

0:40:37.960 --> 0:40:40.000
<v Speaker 1>I've told you, guys, I don't know how many times

0:40:40.840 --> 0:40:45.359
<v Speaker 1>you gotta keep running expecting it to break and it did.

0:40:45.840 --> 0:40:50.719
<v Speaker 1>You understand the system in that regard it worked. This

0:40:50.800 --> 0:40:53.600
<v Speaker 1>is a game that you needed to win by hooker Cook.

0:40:53.640 --> 0:40:56.360
<v Speaker 1>I think we talked about this yesterday's bags. You gotta

0:40:56.400 --> 0:40:58.960
<v Speaker 1>win ugly. That was an ugly win. It's okay to

0:40:59.000 --> 0:41:02.680
<v Speaker 1>win ugly in those situations down there where you had

0:41:02.680 --> 0:41:05.279
<v Speaker 1>the loud crowd. You know, you could have easily this

0:41:05.360 --> 0:41:08.040
<v Speaker 1>guy's running all over the place, Taysom Hill, you could

0:41:08.040 --> 0:41:11.960
<v Speaker 1>have easily just done something stupid offensively more often instead

0:41:12.000 --> 0:41:13.319
<v Speaker 1>of just the one in the sex. She could have

0:41:13.320 --> 0:41:15.279
<v Speaker 1>had more than one. Could they had strip sex. There's

0:41:15.320 --> 0:41:17.640
<v Speaker 1>so many things that could have happened, but they didn't

0:41:17.840 --> 0:41:21.040
<v Speaker 1>because we did at that moment stick to the plan.

0:41:21.400 --> 0:41:23.440
<v Speaker 1>We have to keep running the ball, so to go

0:41:23.520 --> 0:41:26.920
<v Speaker 1>away from it when it's truly time, that to me

0:41:27.120 --> 0:41:29.520
<v Speaker 1>did not make anything. And then in the ideal offense

0:41:29.920 --> 0:41:33.400
<v Speaker 1>is an offense that can win either way either okay,

0:41:33.400 --> 0:41:35.560
<v Speaker 1>where you can win passing the ball or you can

0:41:35.640 --> 0:41:38.880
<v Speaker 1>win running the football, depending on the strength of the opposition,

0:41:39.000 --> 0:41:41.400
<v Speaker 1>what the weather conditions are, any of that stuff. When

0:41:41.440 --> 0:41:43.960
<v Speaker 1>you look at those Cowboys teams from the nineties, they

0:41:43.960 --> 0:41:46.279
<v Speaker 1>could win either way. They could throw it or they

0:41:46.280 --> 0:41:49.080
<v Speaker 1>could run it. Well, they're not running it well right,

0:41:49.200 --> 0:41:51.960
<v Speaker 1>and running it more doesn't mean it's going to be

0:41:52.000 --> 0:41:54.560
<v Speaker 1>more effective. And everybody's like, well, you know, you got

0:41:54.560 --> 0:41:57.200
<v Speaker 1>to use Pollard more well. He had one carry for

0:41:57.280 --> 0:42:01.640
<v Speaker 1>fifty eight, he had six carries for thirteen. They're just

0:42:01.880 --> 0:42:08.399
<v Speaker 1>not creasing anybody at this point. And Jerry and even

0:42:08.480 --> 0:42:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Jerry and his radio interview today talked about the offensive line.

0:42:12.719 --> 0:42:16.560
<v Speaker 1>They need more continuity, they need uh you know, and

0:42:16.719 --> 0:42:18.319
<v Speaker 1>thinking now, what are they now? What are they going

0:42:18.360 --> 0:42:21.640
<v Speaker 1>to do this week? Is Leal Collins you're starting right tackle?

0:42:21.960 --> 0:42:24.319
<v Speaker 1>Or are you going back to Terren Steele now on

0:42:24.400 --> 0:42:27.600
<v Speaker 1>the depth chart for in the release at Terren Steele

0:42:27.640 --> 0:42:31.920
<v Speaker 1>at right tackle, But it sounded like when Jerry talked

0:42:32.000 --> 0:42:35.160
<v Speaker 1>this morning, and he was being careful not to give

0:42:35.200 --> 0:42:40.000
<v Speaker 1>away secrets, but he basically said, both guys are going

0:42:40.040 --> 0:42:44.520
<v Speaker 1>to play, so to me, judging from what how Kellen

0:42:44.640 --> 0:42:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Moore answered the question on Monday about the mac attack

0:42:49.040 --> 0:42:51.840
<v Speaker 1>when they use Connor McGovern as a fullback or second

0:42:51.880 --> 0:42:55.080
<v Speaker 1>tight end, it sounded like one of those tackles and

0:42:55.200 --> 0:42:59.600
<v Speaker 1>maybe Terren Steele plays the blocking tight end position to

0:42:59.719 --> 0:43:03.439
<v Speaker 1>help with the blocking when they go to tight ends.

0:43:04.560 --> 0:43:07.960
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna see if it plays out that way

0:43:08.040 --> 0:43:10.800
<v Speaker 1>or not to try to help this running game because

0:43:10.800 --> 0:43:13.400
<v Speaker 1>you go to tight ends and you're thinking, well, but

0:43:13.520 --> 0:43:17.800
<v Speaker 1>neither one of those guys are big blockers, right McEwen H.

0:43:18.320 --> 0:43:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Schultz Um, you know they don't get much from the

0:43:22.680 --> 0:43:30.160
<v Speaker 1>other guys. Springer um, so shelt reception, his receiving prowess

0:43:30.200 --> 0:43:35.360
<v Speaker 1>has really improved, but his blocking has gone still. Still, yeah,

0:43:35.400 --> 0:43:38.759
<v Speaker 1>it's worse. Okay, when coming into the season, who are

0:43:38.800 --> 0:43:42.800
<v Speaker 1>the starting offensive lineman, well, who are their preferred five

0:43:43.000 --> 0:43:47.720
<v Speaker 1>coming into the seas Smith's Williams. Beyond this Martin, Martin

0:43:47.920 --> 0:43:50.919
<v Speaker 1>and Collins and Collins. Okay, then Collins got the five

0:43:50.960 --> 0:43:53.280
<v Speaker 1>games suspension, right, So the same way we talk about

0:43:53.280 --> 0:43:56.400
<v Speaker 1>the wide receivers, not having those three wide receivers together,

0:43:56.880 --> 0:43:59.920
<v Speaker 1>they haven't had the same the five. Even if you

0:44:00.239 --> 0:44:04.400
<v Speaker 1>you trade out Williams with McGovern, they haven't had the

0:44:04.680 --> 0:44:08.400
<v Speaker 1>five offensive linemen in there on a consistent basis. I

0:44:08.440 --> 0:44:10.200
<v Speaker 1>don't have time to go through how many games they've

0:44:10.200 --> 0:44:12.040
<v Speaker 1>had that. They didn't even have it in the first

0:44:12.040 --> 0:44:14.160
<v Speaker 1>game because Zach Martin was out. I don't know that

0:44:14.160 --> 0:44:16.600
<v Speaker 1>they've had it all season long, that they've had the

0:44:16.719 --> 0:44:21.320
<v Speaker 1>five really that they won out there because then Collins

0:44:21.400 --> 0:44:25.320
<v Speaker 1>came back from his suspension and he was not starting

0:44:25.360 --> 0:44:27.440
<v Speaker 1>the first game back and then Smith went out for

0:44:27.480 --> 0:44:29.960
<v Speaker 1>three games. I'm just going through it right now, and

0:44:30.000 --> 0:44:32.080
<v Speaker 1>then you had Steele miss in the last game. Even

0:44:32.080 --> 0:44:34.760
<v Speaker 1>if you decided that Steele was the guy instead of Collins,

0:44:36.120 --> 0:44:37.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that they've had a game this season

0:44:37.719 --> 0:44:39.839
<v Speaker 1>where they've had the five that they really prefer out

0:44:39.880 --> 0:44:43.960
<v Speaker 1>there at the same time. So here are the starters

0:44:44.000 --> 0:44:47.520
<v Speaker 1>they started the season, and you're right because McGovern started

0:44:47.560 --> 0:44:51.439
<v Speaker 1>at right guard for Zack Martin who was out right

0:44:52.560 --> 0:44:58.319
<v Speaker 1>the next game, steel Cats to come in for Lal

0:44:58.440 --> 0:45:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Collins because the suspension started, and then after that it

0:45:02.800 --> 0:45:06.960
<v Speaker 1>was kind of the same for looks like I mean,

0:45:07.120 --> 0:45:11.200
<v Speaker 1>if if your preferred right tackle is Lyle Collins, then

0:45:11.280 --> 0:45:15.120
<v Speaker 1>they have not had a game this season that they've

0:45:15.120 --> 0:45:18.000
<v Speaker 1>had the five that they prefer out they had they

0:45:18.040 --> 0:45:20.839
<v Speaker 1>had the one oh no, because the one game when

0:45:20.880 --> 0:45:24.520
<v Speaker 1>they had Collins at right tackle and Connor Williams still

0:45:24.520 --> 0:45:27.640
<v Speaker 1>at left guard, Steele was at left tackle right Tyran

0:45:27.800 --> 0:45:30.759
<v Speaker 1>was out, and then the next game, Steele is at

0:45:30.840 --> 0:45:34.320
<v Speaker 1>left tackle, the next game, Steele is at left tackle,

0:45:34.680 --> 0:45:39.560
<v Speaker 1>then Tyrn returns, now McGovern's at left tackle, Steals at

0:45:39.680 --> 0:45:44.400
<v Speaker 1>right tackle, and then the next game McGovern it's Smith McGovern,

0:45:44.480 --> 0:45:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Beardist Martin and Collins at right tackle. And so so

0:45:48.520 --> 0:45:51.800
<v Speaker 1>they've been re right now it's coming off this the

0:45:52.320 --> 0:45:56.000
<v Speaker 1>mini bye week. Okay, all right, they have all of them.

0:45:56.200 --> 0:45:58.600
<v Speaker 1>When Steel gets back here, they've got the option of

0:45:58.680 --> 0:46:02.480
<v Speaker 1>whether they go with Collins. They've got everybody back now, right, right, right,

0:46:02.600 --> 0:46:05.799
<v Speaker 1>And so I think the key to establishing that continuity

0:46:06.320 --> 0:46:09.640
<v Speaker 1>is having these guys back and hopefully we don't find

0:46:09.640 --> 0:46:11.480
<v Speaker 1>out something right when we get off the air like

0:46:11.520 --> 0:46:16.040
<v Speaker 1>we dorbally do, and they can then have their five,

0:46:16.280 --> 0:46:19.040
<v Speaker 1>whichever five they want to pick. They've got him available

0:46:19.040 --> 0:46:22.400
<v Speaker 1>for this stretcher. But one of the key things is

0:46:23.280 --> 0:46:26.719
<v Speaker 1>are they convinced that McGovern's better at left guard? They

0:46:26.760 --> 0:46:33.200
<v Speaker 1>are not than Connor Willim That's what. And the three

0:46:33.280 --> 0:46:36.520
<v Speaker 1>games that he started it was a plus because there

0:46:36.600 --> 0:46:39.680
<v Speaker 1>was less holding calls, and some of those Williams holding

0:46:39.719 --> 0:46:43.319
<v Speaker 1>calls I think they were Frans call. He got targeted. Yes, right,

0:46:43.400 --> 0:46:45.680
<v Speaker 1>they said, all right, we were watching it. We didn't

0:46:45.680 --> 0:46:48.520
<v Speaker 1>replace him necessarily because he wasn't playing well right, only

0:46:48.520 --> 0:46:50.880
<v Speaker 1>because he was being talking. They were trying to save

0:46:50.920 --> 0:46:53.759
<v Speaker 1>the holdings, so they saved the holding calls. But I

0:46:53.800 --> 0:46:58.320
<v Speaker 1>don't know that McGovern's playing. I think what this offense

0:46:58.360 --> 0:47:01.000
<v Speaker 1>needs more than anything is I'm on task. You know

0:47:01.040 --> 0:47:03.680
<v Speaker 1>what this office need. That defense better keep giving them

0:47:03.680 --> 0:47:07.160
<v Speaker 1>opportunities to score. Okay, you hold them off long enough,

0:47:07.480 --> 0:47:10.160
<v Speaker 1>then you can break those pology routes of those plays

0:47:10.160 --> 0:47:13.880
<v Speaker 1>and those CD LAMB play. You just keep on defensively

0:47:13.880 --> 0:47:16.200
<v Speaker 1>giving them the ball back and you guys can play

0:47:16.280 --> 0:47:19.800
<v Speaker 1>complimentary football until the end of the season, which hopefully

0:47:19.800 --> 0:47:22.120
<v Speaker 1>but even but even like with the receivers, they haven't

0:47:22.120 --> 0:47:24.840
<v Speaker 1>had the all the receivers out there. The practice schedule

0:47:24.880 --> 0:47:27.680
<v Speaker 1>has been way off kilter the last three weeks, and

0:47:31.600 --> 0:47:35.319
<v Speaker 1>excuses were raced with four interceptions, right, you understand, right,

0:47:35.400 --> 0:47:37.680
<v Speaker 1>So that's my point. The defense has to play and

0:47:37.760 --> 0:47:41.239
<v Speaker 1>give them chances. And every team that's winning ugly, that

0:47:41.480 --> 0:47:43.759
<v Speaker 1>defense is keeping them in the game. And the other

0:47:43.800 --> 0:47:46.160
<v Speaker 1>part of it is that those are erased if everybody

0:47:46.200 --> 0:47:48.239
<v Speaker 1>gets back from COVID and are healthy and can be

0:47:48.239 --> 0:47:51.080
<v Speaker 1>out on the field for practice and stuff, exactly because

0:47:51.080 --> 0:47:53.319
<v Speaker 1>they haven't had that either. Because if you look at

0:47:53.360 --> 0:47:57.600
<v Speaker 1>that short week after the Sunday game in Kansas City,

0:47:57.880 --> 0:48:02.000
<v Speaker 1>you know you basically got one practice in and then

0:48:02.160 --> 0:48:05.960
<v Speaker 1>COVID hit after Thanksgiving and they gave him time off,

0:48:06.320 --> 0:48:08.680
<v Speaker 1>and then it hit the beginning of the week and

0:48:08.719 --> 0:48:11.160
<v Speaker 1>they basically got in for some reason. The Cowboys can't

0:48:11.200 --> 0:48:13.799
<v Speaker 1>fall back on those excuses. I know everyone else can,

0:48:13.880 --> 0:48:18.080
<v Speaker 1>but we cannot. So just to be clear, and during

0:48:18.280 --> 0:48:22.000
<v Speaker 1>this four game winning streak for the Washington's, I can't

0:48:22.080 --> 0:48:25.880
<v Speaker 1>keep saying the football team. They're the Washington's. Okay, they've

0:48:25.880 --> 0:48:34.040
<v Speaker 1>given up nineteen, twenty one, fifteen and fifteen, and they've

0:48:34.080 --> 0:48:37.120
<v Speaker 1>won the last two games seventeen playing at home and

0:48:37.840 --> 0:48:40.399
<v Speaker 1>at home. And it's a big game. And it's not

0:48:40.440 --> 0:48:42.600
<v Speaker 1>like they're scoring a bunch of points, although they did.

0:48:43.120 --> 0:48:45.920
<v Speaker 1>They did against the Bucks. They put twenty nine against

0:48:45.960 --> 0:48:48.439
<v Speaker 1>Tampa Bay. Go figure. How big is this game? We'll

0:48:48.520 --> 0:48:49.920
<v Speaker 1>talk about it the rest of the week. But if

0:48:49.920 --> 0:48:52.960
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys win, they got a three game lead. If

0:48:53.000 --> 0:48:54.600
<v Speaker 1>they lose, they got a one game lead. And for

0:48:54.680 --> 0:48:58.160
<v Speaker 1>more on that, join us tomorrow on mix Shots. Did

0:48:58.280 --> 0:49:02.279
