But let's talk about Sunday. 12 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: That's more like it, right, Mickey, Absolutely, It's like where 13 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: you've been, guys. Can we just you know, just dive 14 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,639 Speaker 1: into that and just talk about that like the whole break, 15 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: you know, through the break. I mean, this is this 16 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: is fun. This is fun. I got out this month, 17 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: felt like Christmas morning. Have feeling good, not depressed. The 18 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: weather outside cannot depress me today today, even if it's freezing, Yes, 19 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 1: brizzly Gray, Well, Jerry say after the game, just what 20 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 1: the doctor ordered? Yes, absolutely for him too, because I 21 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: think he said did he I think on the quote 22 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: sheet was they outplayed my expectations for this game, because 23 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: you know, not that he doesn't have faith in this team, 24 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: but I think the Chicago loss was just a gut 25 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: punch for everybody. I just don't think we realized. And 26 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: you guys, really y'all brought it to my attention last week, 27 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: having that rest, you know, that's kind of what I 28 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: was so naive to that. I think you brought it up, Bob, 29 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: about the three games and what was it twelve and 30 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: then if you look over the course of the whole 31 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: nineteen o four nineteen, we were talking about how unremarkable 32 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: they looked. The body language wasn't there, and when as 33 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: soon as you guys said that, it just kind of 34 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: clicked in my head. I don't know if that was 35 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: the reason, but it seems like they just needed a break, 36 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: you know, I mean an extended break, not just the week. 37 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: They needed that ten days. And what I saw it 38 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: was it wasn't it wasn't Philly. You know, it wasn't 39 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: that Philly game when they came out of the first 40 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: three game losing streak. But it was a different team, 41 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: a more energetic team, and they played with excitement, they 42 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: played with confidence because what we saw before during the 43 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: three game stretch was just a lot of guys out 44 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: there that looked unsure of themselves. This was not that game. 45 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 1: This was not that even after the drop by Cooper, 46 00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: which was a big drop to me that but I 47 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: could have taking us back down that same road, down 48 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: the same rabbit hole, and it did not. You know, 49 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: we still came back and hey, we talked about it. 50 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: Offensive line, baby, that old line took over this team 51 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: really the way they should and this is the team 52 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: that we'll accustomed to from last year, even two years ago. 53 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: You know, nobody would admit it publicly when I asked 54 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: round about just getting refreshed, like this was a reboot, 55 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,839 Speaker 1: like you were worn out after that New England thing, 56 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: and I kind of got the wink, but no one 57 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: would use it as an excuse. But I think it 58 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: was real. Now we'll find out next week. Can you 59 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: do this now two weeks in a row? Did this 60 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: another ten days? Right? Yeah? Or maybe just having played 61 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: indoors and not in BS weather like they did in 62 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: New England and able to come back and just kind 63 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: of get themselves together, and not just physically probably, but 64 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: mentally too. I mean, I know they say they don't 65 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: hear the noise, but they hear the noise. Right. Your 66 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: coach is under fire, the offensive quadinat or doesn't know 67 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: what he's doing anymore. No one can make tackles. You know, 68 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: you miss nineteen tackles. I don't know who comes up 69 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: with that stat, but that's the one that's thrown around. 70 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 1: And then in this game you're punishing people with tackles. 71 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: So what's the What happened? How did the switch turn right? Well, 72 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: maybe maybe there was something to that, because that's the 73 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: team we thought we knew coming out of training camp. 74 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: My college coach was one of the greatest coaches ever, 75 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: and he got this quote from another great coach, Fatigue 76 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: makes cowards of us. All. So, when you're tired, whether 77 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: it's mentally or physically, you're going to have problems reacting. 78 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: You're gonna have problems with your confidence, You're gonna have 79 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 1: to a problem following through with plays. And that's what's 80 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: going on with the Cowboys. All of a sudden, you 81 00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: got written well written, couldn't catch a cold. You down 82 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: his pants in New England. He couldn't reach for anything. 83 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, he's snagging like he's Gronkowski or 84 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: somebody or or something. We're showing the highlight right now 85 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: if you're watching. And you said it, Everson, during the week, 86 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: they needed some kind of splash play, something to spark 87 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: this team. And Wit said that was the first time 88 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 1: in sixteen years he has spiked a football, and it 89 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: was so awkward and he was so awk like, whoa, whoa, 90 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 1: that thing's going to hurt him sound, But he, you know, 91 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: he that to me was venting all this team's frustration. 92 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: And he said it after the game. Mickey, you just 93 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: said it too. Three games in eleven days and nothing 94 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 1: goes your way, and they just needed something to get 95 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: him out of it. You're facing third and ten and 96 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: here we go again. We're gonna have to kick a 97 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: field goal in the red zone with the new kicker. 98 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 1: We just fired our old kicker, and basically Wit said 99 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: screw this, you know, and made a heck of a 100 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: play and that kind of got things got things going. Everson, 101 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: to your point, I just went back quickly and reviewed, 102 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 1: you know, because everyone talked about the Cowboys playing on 103 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day. And the real advantage the Cowboys had back 104 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: in the day playing on Thanksgiving Day was the game 105 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: they played after Thanksgiving Day, which they got the long 106 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 1: weekend ten days until the next game. And from nineteen 107 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: sixty eight through nineteen eighty four, over a seventeen year period, 108 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: that Cowboys were fifteen and oh the week after Thanksgiving, 109 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: had fifteen Thanksgiving Day games from sixty eight to eighty 110 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: four and were unbeaten during that time. Wow, and they 111 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: weren't unbeaten on Thanksgiving Day itself. That yeah, Yeah, that 112 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: was amazing. Yeah, it was you know what, both the street. 113 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: Remember that game at Cincinnati. Oh goodness, they the ten 114 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: days after Thanksgiving. It was like fifty one to something. 115 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: Remember the Remember the big the big white fullback. What 116 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: was his name, Killer Brew? Yes, I was gonna say Harmon. 117 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: That's the baseball player the way I just remember the 118 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: big offensive lineman Montoya that's name. Yeah, I remember in 119 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: my face, twenty yards down here and a little bit 120 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: of running back your size Brooks is right behind him, right, 121 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: And that was the worst feeling in the world. I 122 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: felt like Jalen Smith. That's why I know the feeling. 123 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: The big lineman in your face. You can't do anything 124 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: with those guys in your face. Man. You know. Before 125 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: the game on the pregame show, they asked me, what 126 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: what does it take to get this team some confidence? 127 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: I said, they gotta make a play. You gotta make 128 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: some big plays and Witton's play you guys just talked about. 129 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: It was third and ten. They're getting ready to kick 130 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: another field goal, right, and it was like, oh, here 131 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: they go again. You had the drop. Now it's gonna 132 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: you drove with the field goal kicker kick the open 133 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: he kick right. That was a great stuff, which, by 134 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: the way, started this way started this game. Is there 135 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: a better example of Murphy's law than the first two 136 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: things that happened? Right? We was like, go again, they 137 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: can't even get the point and taught us rush unbelievable 138 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: and then he was like, we want to kick and 139 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: then you kick it out about unbelievable. But they made 140 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: the play, you know, and it was somewhat of a 141 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: spectacular play. Then you got the play from Tavon Austin 142 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: and I had looked over the first I think I 143 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: mentioned it last week. Over the first ten games, they 144 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: had forty seven big pass plays twenty yards or more 145 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: in the last three games they had ten. Well, in 146 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: this game total, they had seven big plays of twenty 147 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,839 Speaker 1: yards or more, runs, pass, whatever, and all of a 148 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: sudden it came back. It disappeared from what they were 149 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: doing almost five or six a game. Then it went 150 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: down to you know, two or three a game. So 151 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: they made plays and you get confidence. Yeah, I don't 152 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: care if your pilot or if you're you're Zeke Elliott. 153 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: You can see second effort in almost every run, you know, 154 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: instead of going down with the arm tackle like oh man, 155 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 1: I was almost you know, now, all of a sudden, 156 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: we were like breaking through, you know, every every running play. 157 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: Now we're breaking through. We're we're not stumbling now you 158 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: know where, we're gaining our balance and we're continuing on. Yeah. 159 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: I guess that's a metaphor for the rest of this 160 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: season really, because that's the way they played. Even even 161 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: Zeke when he was getting hit for what looked like 162 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: a one or two yard game sudden it was five 163 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: right now, given surging forward, he ran possessed and Pollard 164 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: you can forget about this. Oh he's not a between 165 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: the tackles running because he broke a bunch of tackles 166 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: to your point, Jerry said after the game, one of 167 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: the questions he was asked, he used the word physical 168 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: five or six times, and that was their identity. On 169 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: Sunday with the run game and then the run defense, 170 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: Antoine Woods coming back had a huge impact in the 171 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: middle of the defensive line. N Lee, Oh my god, 172 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: he looked like a warrior out there, just bloodied up. 173 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: Great shot. I take that shot and I signed all 174 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: the graphs on that thing forever. That was typical of 175 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: how he came back to me. That was a redeeming 176 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: game for him. You know, he's been a little bit 177 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: vilified since Thanksgiving. I mean, guys catching, tightening, is catching 178 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: one hand to pass on him. He's back there looking loss. 179 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: Van Duesh goes down. He's missing tackles. Sean Lee's missing tackles. 180 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: This was the game. This was the game. This was 181 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: Sean Lee from I don't think he played this well. 182 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,599 Speaker 1: I don't think he's played this well, meaning just like recognition, 183 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: as far as playmaking and impacting the game, it's gotta 184 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: be about three years. I mean, because he's two years 185 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: since he had an interception, and the interception reminded me 186 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: of him. Early in his career when he picked Peyton 187 00:10:54,640 --> 00:11:00,559 Speaker 1: Manning undercutting those plays recognition, that's what we talked about out. Yes, 188 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 1: you know sometimes you can't be a dummy. I mean, 189 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: you know they're setting you up with the short route 190 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: underneath so you can jump that, they're gonna hit it behind. 191 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: You can't get around that. That's just basic offensive football 192 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: against the zone. Not only did Sean Lee figure out, 193 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: I saw some dude back there with braids diving forward 194 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: as well. So you got both of your middle linebackers 195 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: that that wasn't Jeff. That was not Jeff. Now you 196 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 1: had two middle linebackers about what fifteen years d you know, 197 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,959 Speaker 1: making plays on about recognizing what's going on and delivering 198 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: svil out of that, delivering some thumps too, both of 199 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: them like physical stone setting type of tackles early and 200 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: then a couple behind the line of scrimmage with Woods 201 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: and Tank Lawrence and all of a sudden, now that's 202 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: you got back. You got your identity back there. Somebody 203 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: talked about DNA getting your DNA back. I think Jason 204 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 1: mentioned it in the locker room post game, And that's 205 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: that's one of them for the dfense. The physicality the 206 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: intensity it was. It was what you saw against Philadelphia. 207 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: And I remember them saying after the game in Philadelphia, 208 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: we had to out physical them up front, and that's 209 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 1: what they did. And that just happened to be the 210 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: last time this is the complimentary football. That's probably the 211 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: other game you can really point to that they did that, 212 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: you know, And remember, Sean Lee didn't practice all week. 213 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: He actually that was the plan, and I found out 214 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: late Friday afternoon that that was the plan, and they 215 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: felt pretty good that he was going to play. That's 216 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: not practicing this week either, so maybe and it was pointing. 217 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: I think Ben Bloom pointed out to me that while 218 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: he didn't practice, he did all the walkthroughs. He said, 219 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: so if you practice, I don't know. He gave me 220 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: a number of how many snaps you might get during practice, 221 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: maybe forty or so fifty something like that, he said, 222 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: But he did everything in the walkthrough, which goes over 223 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: a hundred. He's gonna be the most prepared player off 224 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: the field, so you don't have to worry about, you know. 225 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 1: And the good thing was they got a lead and 226 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 1: he didn't have to play half the fourth quarter. I 227 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: think I looked up he had forty um forty three snaps. Yeah, 228 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: they took him in jail and out, so and most 229 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: of the guys came out except for the secondary. So yeah, 230 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: just don't go sit down. But I really enjoyed the 231 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 1: fact that the roof was closed and the sound, you know, 232 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: the doors were open. Now they talked about that like 233 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: it's a big deal. You're the second person to tell 234 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: me that, But that's because they blew their doors on. 235 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: It was okay because you're the second person to team 236 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: me up there. So I just I just thought that 237 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: the crowd themselves the first drive actually surprised me, did it. 238 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 1: I told you what they were gonna do. Man, they're 239 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 1: gonna come out, they're gonna support. This is different from 240 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,719 Speaker 1: Texas Stadium, and we talked about that, Yeah, this is 241 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: not that Texas Stadium. They get the cues when that, 242 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: when that roof is closed. They gave Golf plenty of 243 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: problems on This is more of a blue collar crowd Texas. 244 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: I just thought everybody was fed up and the first 245 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: thing that went wrong they were just gonna turn on them. 246 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: But they started right from doing this and they're they're 247 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: making noise and there weren't a ton of Rams Jerseys 248 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: in the crowd either. I was. I was pleasantly surprised that. 249 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: You know, it is Los Angeles, You know it is 250 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Time to build a fan base, and whatever 251 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: fan base they had in Saint Louis turned down. They 252 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: don't care about it.

But 333 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,959 Speaker 1: you know what it didn't I mean by time I 334 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 1: got in there after Jason Garrett finished, I mean, most 335 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: of the guys were gone. It wasn't like there was 336 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: a big celebrate. Did you go in right away? It 337 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 1: didn't look like a huge celebration going on or no, 338 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,199 Speaker 1: I mean even the but here was the key. The 339 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 1: offensive linemen were talking. I saw Tyrn Smith do an interview. 340 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: Tyrann Smith doesn't do interview with like twenty people around him, right, Yeah, 341 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: And he actually spoke like sentences, not just a couple 342 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: of words. He's very shy. I mean, he just would 343 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,199 Speaker 1: rather not do it, and he was into it. So 344 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: I thought that was a good, good sign all right. 345 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 1: As far as the way this game started, the coin tosser, guys, 346 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,360 Speaker 1: somebody break this. Everson was at the game. The game, 347 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 1: so you did not hear what the audio that was 348 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: played during the first half on the Fox broadcast, which 349 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: got the attention of the NFL officials back in New 350 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 1: York that maybe a mistake had been made here. When 351 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 1: I heard it, and the first thing I heard Daxy 352 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: is uh, he said, yeah, Cowboys win the toss your choice, 353 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 1: And he goes, yeah, we want to kick it that way. 354 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: And I'm the hairs went up on the back of 355 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 1: my neck. I'm going, no, you don't want to you 356 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: can't say that. And then he and then he came 357 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: back and and and there was a lot of commotions 358 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: and he goes, yeah, yeah, defer, and we're gonna kick 359 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:59,360 Speaker 1: it that yeah. And for some reason, wald Anderson had 360 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: never heard her. He heard the first thing, and I 361 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 1: think he got flustered and and and then it was like, 362 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,199 Speaker 1: oh my god, that was so funny talking about it 363 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: after the guy that was a great He said, we 364 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: thought we'd get the adversity out of the way right away. 365 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 1: Before we got he said, I said a little bit 366 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 1: at everything. I love that, I said. They asked, what 367 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: do you say? I said, well, I said a little 368 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: bit of everything. And then and then afterwards de Marcus 369 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 1: Lawrence confused the whole thing because he goes, that was 370 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,199 Speaker 1: on me. He goes, I was the one in the 371 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: background going kick it, kick it. We want to play defense, right, 372 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: And he was saying that because you see it on 373 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:48,919 Speaker 1: the video. I think defense. Defense. Yeah, defense. And then 374 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: and then you can see like there was some confusion 375 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: and Jason like was talking to one of the officials. 376 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,040 Speaker 1: I don't think it was Anderson, but it was the 377 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,360 Speaker 1: other the other guy there, and they were going back 378 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 1: and forth and he called dak over like, hey, what 379 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: did you say? Right? And and so they're kind of 380 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 1: explaining it to him. Is that and that's your Yeah, 381 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: he liked him a lot. He lives around here. He 382 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 1: can hear man tell them what you want to say, 383 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: not the first time? And so how about this? So 384 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,120 Speaker 1: this thing is going back and forth on TV now 385 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: during the game because uh, Fox came back and they 386 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 1: played the audio and shimed in and say, well he 387 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: did say defer. Now is it what he said first? 388 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: Or how are we going to do this right? And 389 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 1: then when they came back at halftime, Yeah, that's why 390 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 1: I got Aaron Andrews. Aaron Andrews said, well, I talked 391 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 1: to Jason Garrett and he didn't know we had audio 392 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: of it. And then when he talked she talked to 393 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh. He thought they were getting the ball when 394 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 1: they came out of the locker room. He was convinced 395 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 1: they were getting the ball, and it was important at 396 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,239 Speaker 1: the end of the first half. You'd like to know 397 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,640 Speaker 1: who's getting the ball to start the second half strategy. 398 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 1: And so it was kind of up in the air 399 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: until they went to the pool report there with Al 400 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: Riveron in New York. Thank god for Rule fifteen for replay, 401 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 1: Section three, Article nine. According to Al Rivern, it says 402 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,360 Speaker 1: that we can get involved replay can as far as 403 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: game administration issues. He also said, if you look at 404 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: what happened, and you see that the Cowboys actually say 405 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,679 Speaker 1: three different things, and then we hear at the end 406 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: where they say quote defer. So we go ahead and 407 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 1: look at it, and they pulled up the audio. Thank 408 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 1: goodness for instant replay on coin toss well, and thank 409 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: thank god. Among the things that Deck said, he did 410 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: slip in the word defer, which that's that's where a 411 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 1: common sense comes into play, right where you say defer, 412 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: and that's that's what they meant when you talk about kickoff. 413 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 1: That's the assumption that you know you you want the 414 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: ball to start the second half. So they were accurate. 415 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: Yeah they got it right, went around. Yeah, yeah, right, Okay, 416 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: I guarantee you that will not have an issue according 417 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 1: Toss going forward. Well, we should have our stuff together 418 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: right as we go out, correct, I mean the magic word. 419 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: It sounded like they might have changed their mind, like 420 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:34,159 Speaker 1: out there, unbeknownst to Jason said yeah, we're gonna play defense. 421 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:38,159 Speaker 1: We'll show them we're gonna stop. So it's just like 422 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: the first time we've ever heard of audio replay. Wow, 423 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 1: for me, it is. I mean that's what it was. 424 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 1: If y'all ever watched the game where you weren't sure 425 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: who was getting the ball to start the second half. 426 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I haven't watched as much football over the 427 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,439 Speaker 1: years now. That was first I missed it. But if 428 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: I would have been in tune, I'm sure that would 429 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 1: have been extremely confused about this, just as you are now. 430 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: Yeah still can I mean it took Fox too. It 431 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 1: was close to the end of the first quarter before 432 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: they came back with the audio replay of what he 433 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 1: actually said. And I'm going, oh, this is going to 434 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: be an interest in Dallas man Riley with the Cowboys. 435 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 1: And it was over only over the course of halftime 436 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: before it was resolved in New York. Yeah, you know, 437 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: because Mike Pereira said this, this, this should get fixed, 438 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 1: but no one came out and said it's fixed until halftime. 439 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: And by the way, Mike Pereira also said that Walt 440 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: Anderson did not handle it, Yeah, the way he should 441 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 1: have on the field. I mean just ask so you 442 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,199 Speaker 1: are you deferring? Is that what you're saying? If I 443 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 1: want to kick that great defense, he says that, then 444 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: you're kicking off twice. Yeah. Absolutely, Just think about what 445 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 1: a disaster that would have been. I mean, they're up 446 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: twenty one seven and a half, but the Rams get 447 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: it again twenty eight. Was it interception? That's right? Okay, well, 448 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 1: regardless to go on. But Jason Garrett, it was You're 449 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,679 Speaker 1: early on the shoulders of the head, no question about it. 450 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,959 Speaker 1: He can't even he can't even get his quarterback out 451 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: there to say they call him the Jamis Winston of coaching. 452 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,360 Speaker 1: He was just all kind of goofy stuff going on. 453 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: But how about the apparently the Saturday night speech, uh 454 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: got this team going. The team speak from the head 455 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: coach and my players talked about that. It's not a 456 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: sort of baseball team analogy where you have to pick 457 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:35,439 Speaker 1: each other up and complimentary football game goes along. Something local. 458 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: Is what Jason said on the fan today. It wasn't 459 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: about the Yankees or the Yeah. They asked, yeah, and 460 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 1: he mentioned it was more high school high school. That's 461 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 1: what he meant. Yeah, it wasn't one of those Joe 462 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: Biden talks to where you know it was it was 463 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: it was you know, got but it wasn't. Yeah, he 464 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 1: wouldn't say he wasn't going into it. Yeah, they couldn't 465 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: pull it out of him. Okay, So anyway, so yeah, 466 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: that's how the game started. Yeah about that, I'm so confused. 467 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 1: And then the kickoff goes out about I see, first 468 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,400 Speaker 1: of all, let's let's not go there. We have a 469 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,959 Speaker 1: freaking kicker, all right. I was very impressed with that. 470 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 1: I was cold, right, I was very impressed with that guy. 471 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: I mean, if I down the middle, there was no 472 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:28,679 Speaker 1: there was no fa bam. True every time, even on 473 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 1: the extra points, and that was one of his He 474 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: missed one in New England. Yeah, a week or so ago, 475 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: his only game. We were talking before the game, he's 476 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: got to be the most nervous person in the stadium. 477 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 1: You know, everybody's eyes are on you. Yeah, yeah, thank guy. 478 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: There was an extra point, and I don't know, maybe 479 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: that's even more pressure these days. Who first kick is 480 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: an extra point? Would you rather have that or would 481 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 1: you have rather had him having hit to hit the 482 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 1: fifty yard the first get the extra I see, those 483 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: are the things if we don't if we don't do that, 484 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 1: if we don't do well in the red zone, right, wentn' done? 485 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: Make the catch? He's kicking. He's kicking, just sure. And 486 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: do you realize that he the two he made from 487 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: forty two yards That was more forty to forty nine 488 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 1: yard field goals than they had all season? Wow, they 489 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: only had one. I think Brett was five and for five. 490 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 1: That's why he's not here, honestly, because it's those money kicks. 491 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: You know, has an NFL record and they got cut 492 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: yeah sixty plus, you know what. But but for Bath 493 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 1: had that's first time I think we mentioned his name 494 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:37,199 Speaker 1: for bath kicker, kicker, the kicker he probably is. Well, 495 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: we were sure how long he's gonna be here? Okay, 496 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: he only used their days when they screw up, right, 497 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 1: it's like the deep snapper. And he said, the good 498 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 1: thing about this whole deal is is he's been in 499 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: this situation so many times because when he's been signed 500 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: by other teams, it's always mid season, taken over for 501 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 1: somebody that failed. And he goes, so, I kind of 502 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: used to come in here and getting ready and controlled environment. Yeah, 503 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: controlled environment really, and he said, and I said, so, 504 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: how did things go? You know, the kicker, I mean, 505 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 1: the holder, the snapper. He goes, Oh, those guys are great. 506 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: And he goes there they were perfect. He goes, you know, 507 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 1: and I just just put it down and lean it 508 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 1: this way. And that's all I asked, nothing else. And 509 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: it was kind of the Jason's story to the press 510 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: conference earlier in the week when they had the tryouts 511 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: in ninety three and they brought in like four kickers, 512 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: and Jason said, the first three guys were like, I 513 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: gotta have the ball this way and kind of cocked 514 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 1: to the side and backed a little. Eddie says and 515 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 1: then Eddie Murray stepped up and he said, oh, he said, 516 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 1: how do you like it? Edie said, just put it 517 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: down down right. I mean, that's what I used to 518 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: hear about extra points. It didn't matter if the lay 519 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 1: flat on, I got to make an extra point, right. 520 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 1: Drew Pierson told me any passed to him is a 521 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 1: great pass. Any passed to him is a great Mentalidy, 522 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: That's just it. He he passed to Tony Hill is 523 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: a bad dance where anytime you don't pass to Tony Hill, 524 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: he was open, was always open, which you guys will 525 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 1: get a kick out of this. I was interviewing Danny 526 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: White before the game. We're doing a story on this 527 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 1: forty years since Rogers last game, and I said, I'd 528 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: like to touch which was against the Rams, yes, playoff 529 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: game and the regular season regular game was against the Redskins, 530 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: which is going to happen again this year. And so 531 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: I was saying, you know, if I can ask you 532 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 1: a couple of questions about that, He goes, well, you're 533 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: not going to ask me about thirty years since I retire. 534 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 1: I said, oh, thanks a lot, I said, Danny, I'll 535 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: get it in there, Okay, all right, we continue with 536 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: more talking Cowboys in just a moment.

That's right Friday, by Friday, because the 579 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: game is on the twenty second the game the second 580 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 1: gavest them Philadelphia Eagles. The NFC Eastern Division championship is 581 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 1: on the line. The playoff game is dak Prescott said, less. 582 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 1: So the Cowboys made to play for a month. This 583 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 1: whole thing's gonna come down to Cowboys Eagles on December 584 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 1: twenty second year. Where we are. We probably said that 585 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 1: a few weeks ago. I'm sure. Yes, it always turns 586 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 1: out to be that way, doesn't it. That's cool put 587 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 1: ourselves here. It never should have come down to this, No, right, 588 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 1: and even with the Eagles, the way they're playing, the 589 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 1: Eagles remind me of the Cowboys without Zeke Elliott. That's 590 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 1: how much hustle Carson Wentz has to exhibit. You know, 591 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 1: he's back there just grinding a way. I gotta give 592 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,759 Speaker 1: him some credit. He's back there. He's got a lot 593 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,280 Speaker 1: of guys missing it. That's why That's why he's grinding 594 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 1: because just no one's there. He's looking downfield, no one's 595 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 1: there to see his desperation. I can appreciate it. I 596 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,880 Speaker 1: really can't, because you know, Philly could, they could have 597 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,280 Speaker 1: phoned it in a long time ago, and they refuse 598 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,720 Speaker 1: to do that. It makes me a little bit nervous 599 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 1: to come from behind victories like they makes me a 600 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 1: little bit nervous because there their toughness right now pretty 601 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,240 Speaker 1: much off the charts. That's a great point because because 602 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 1: they've got something in their gut to still be at 603 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 1: this point and a lot of people were questioning them. 604 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,359 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of people have questioned the Cowboys, 605 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,399 Speaker 1: same with the Eagles. But the people talk about their 606 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: locker room being a problem and all this stuff, Well, 607 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 1: probably not if they're still giving themselves a chance at 608 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 1: this point. And we were at the game in two 609 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,240 Speaker 1: thousand and eight, I think when it was a playoff 610 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,560 Speaker 1: playing game and forty four to six. I know it's 611 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: a completely different teams and all that, but that crowd 612 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 1: up there is gonna be rocking. Oh yeah, And you're right, 613 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a tough environment for Dallas. The Clowds 614 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: gonna be rocking. They're gonna be rocking because it's the 615 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. The Philadelphia Eagles are gonna You're gonna have 616 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 1: guys making plays they never made in their entire lives 617 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:37,279 Speaker 1: because they're gonna be so hyped to play against the Cowboys. 618 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: That's what you have to fight against. So that confidence 619 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:41,839 Speaker 1: that you have right now in the locker room has 620 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,879 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys team. You're gonna have to have all 621 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:48,879 Speaker 1: of that, that optimism and everything going in there and say, 622 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 1: you know what, I get it. You guys are tough. 623 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 1: I know you're desperate. I know you're you're in a 624 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 1: situation that you didn't want to be in. But that's 625 00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 1: not our problem. We're gonna come in here and take 626 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,719 Speaker 1: a business. That's that's got to be their attitude. I mean, 627 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,360 Speaker 1: he's throwing his leading receivers, some guy named Ward junior, 628 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 1: Greg Ward Junior, former quarterback, University of Houston. What a 629 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 1: play it was, right? What a play? It was a 630 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 1: little fade over the time. I mean, come on, so 631 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,520 Speaker 1: he had to have the time, he was under dust. 632 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 1: He's thrown back on one foot, he floats it up there. 633 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,799 Speaker 1: This guy's five two, Yeah, he goes up and he's 634 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,880 Speaker 1: this high. Name is at least my side. Yeah, I 635 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 1: met four and he is making a play that he 636 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:36,280 Speaker 1: has to make, no excuses when they could have made 637 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 1: many of them. So that's why the team they're making 638 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 1: me a bit nervous because the hatred that they have 639 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 1: for us, that's already there, that can be extremely motivating. 640 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 1: And they ran the ball well, Sanders had one hundred 641 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,600 Speaker 1: and twenty some yards rushing, and defensively they gave him 642 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 1: as many chances. They gave corson wins as many chances 643 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 1: as he needed. So does anybody want to take a 644 00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 1: shot at how do you go from giving up two 645 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:03,520 Speaker 1: hundred seventy three yards rushing from twenty two two hundred 646 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,080 Speaker 1: and fifty one less than you gave up in the 647 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:11,319 Speaker 1: playoff game? Got any logical reason why that happened? Well, 648 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 1: a little bit of incompetence from the rams that always helps. Uh. 649 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 1: He's almost like what happened to the Cowboys. Defensively, they 650 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:25,799 Speaker 1: could not stop the Cowboys offense, so therefore Girly became obsolete. 651 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 1: It's what happened to Zeke. They's last couple of games. Yeah, 652 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 1: exactly what I mean yeah, what did he end up? 653 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:35,040 Speaker 1: He had eleven twenty yards at the outset the Coys 654 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 1: touchdown right, but when the game was still in the balance, 655 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,120 Speaker 1: they weren't getting anything. In the run game, he had two. 656 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 1: He had two yards at halftime. I'm telling you, Antoine 657 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,240 Speaker 1: woods Man. He stepped up five tackles, one for loss. 658 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 1: And you know he had a torn laborman his shoulder 659 00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:56,040 Speaker 1: in the playoff game last first quarter play played through 660 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,399 Speaker 1: it clearly wasn't himself, and then they've missed him these 661 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,680 Speaker 1: last two games. I mean, I think he definitely made 662 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:05,320 Speaker 1: an impact for him up front. Hmm. We talk about 663 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:10,520 Speaker 1: the problems with the linebackers, I would imagine woods hurt us. 664 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 1: He understood what was going on the If you're gonna 665 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,319 Speaker 1: let these offensive linemen come down on our linebackers and 666 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,760 Speaker 1: burst that bubble and create those gaps, if you're gonna 667 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,799 Speaker 1: if you're gonna allow that, then you should be the 668 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,960 Speaker 1: one to make the tackle. As an interior defensive lineman 669 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,719 Speaker 1: where if you're getting off, you're letting them get off, 670 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:30,960 Speaker 1: then you should be the person that should replace that 671 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,440 Speaker 1: first level so at the second level won't be a 672 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,400 Speaker 1: problem an head game, and he did I mean he 673 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:40,200 Speaker 1: had like three tackles in the first series line that's dominated. 674 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,959 Speaker 1: That's one sap type action there. That's saying a lot. 675 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,120 Speaker 1: It was Donald action. Yeah, it set the tone. And 676 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:49,280 Speaker 1: then how many do y'all see any mistackles in the game? Yesterday? 677 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 1: I made one? There was nineteen against the Bears, and 678 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 1: it was one in this game. Wow? Rest rest, Yes, 679 00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:04,600 Speaker 1: Sean Lee felt better. He made all the moves like 680 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,880 Speaker 1: he always did, this time he finished the plays. Jason 681 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 1: Witten was fresh. Yeah, Jason Witten could reach out and 682 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:15,120 Speaker 1: his arms could extend. He was warm, he was warm 683 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 1: all year. Well, he didn't have a strained ankle. Yeah, 684 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:23,879 Speaker 1: remember they missed that. They missed that. I think badly so. 685 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,120 Speaker 1: But but the ability to stop the run, And the 686 00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:31,759 Speaker 1: only kind of logical answer I could get was we 687 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,400 Speaker 1: learned what we did wrong in the playoff game and 688 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:38,839 Speaker 1: we made some schematic changes to what no one would 689 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 1: say what it was DeMarcus Lawrence. And I heard this 690 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:47,439 Speaker 1: from Rod Marinelli on Friday, and I said something about 691 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,400 Speaker 1: the run, and I thought he was gonna bite my 692 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,359 Speaker 1: head off, but he was really nice, and he goes, 693 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:55,000 Speaker 1: it's tempo, he goes, they play at that high tempo, 694 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 1: and we gotta be in on the line of scrimmage, 695 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:03,880 Speaker 1: hands down, ready to go. We can't be got to 696 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,439 Speaker 1: be ready to go for them because they might quick 697 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,839 Speaker 1: snap it, or they'll sit there and mill around and 698 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,240 Speaker 1: change the play. He goes, but we gotta be ready 699 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,040 Speaker 1: to go, and DeMarcus Lawrence pointed it out. He said, 700 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,480 Speaker 1: high tempo. Our tempo had to be as high as theirs. 701 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,600 Speaker 1: He said that on Friday too, he said, we know 702 00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:22,560 Speaker 1: what they're going to try to do, right, and we 703 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,399 Speaker 1: can't get thrown off balance by that. Yeah, because it's 704 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,120 Speaker 1: a very tempo too. Sometimes it's true hurry up. Sometimes 705 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,120 Speaker 1: it's kind of a patient tempo and you just have 706 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 1: to be ready for all of it. I started watching 707 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,200 Speaker 1: and seeing how many times they do it and see 708 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 1: what was going on after it hit the clock hit 709 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,920 Speaker 1: fifteen seconds, and it was like a lot. They changed 710 00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,279 Speaker 1: it a few times, but a few times they hung 711 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,799 Speaker 1: in there and they didn't change the place. I have 712 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,520 Speaker 1: to say, I think it's more amazing that we're not 713 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:52,400 Speaker 1: even talking about Aaron Donald. Yeah, I wouldn't talking you know. 714 00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 1: You know what he had at halftime. He had two 715 00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:00,839 Speaker 1: assisted tackles. And then I think he had one more 716 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,960 Speaker 1: solo tackle uh by the end of the game, so 717 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,360 Speaker 1: he ended up with three total tackles, but two were assisted. 718 00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,920 Speaker 1: So those guards in center must have done some total domination, right, 719 00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:14,960 Speaker 1: I had total domination on the one touchdown, sue A 720 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,400 Speaker 1: Feelo caved into the right side and made a huge 721 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,839 Speaker 1: hole for Zeke. If I told you guys before the 722 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,319 Speaker 1: game that the Cowboys top four wide receivers would have 723 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:28,560 Speaker 1: four catches for eighty three yards, would you would you 724 00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:31,439 Speaker 1: tell me that they would have won this game by what? 725 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,880 Speaker 1: It wasn't that. It wasn't that close and one and 726 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,680 Speaker 1: one of those catches was fifty nine yards, right, so 727 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:43,680 Speaker 1: it's three for what twenty something? Yeah, Which, again, from 728 00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,120 Speaker 1: what you saw from the press box, were they doing 729 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:50,040 Speaker 1: something to take away downfield? Were they playing more coverage? 730 00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 1: They started off with a lot of they were doubling 731 00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,120 Speaker 1: ye with the safety over the top because everybody was 732 00:41:56,200 --> 00:42:01,319 Speaker 1: kind of trying to give the corner Ramsey credit. And 733 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,719 Speaker 1: then they showed the replay and they go, oh, yeah, 734 00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:05,839 Speaker 1: but look at the safety where he's at. He's like 735 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:10,080 Speaker 1: five yards behind, so it wasn't all him. Uh. And 736 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 1: then when they showed the other side. Remember the deep 737 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 1: ball to Gallop. The free safety rotated over and helped, 738 00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:20,359 Speaker 1: like you should have got to help. They don't bring 739 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:26,839 Speaker 1: that out there, but he filled it in so you 740 00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,240 Speaker 1: had to drop it in there right over the corner, 741 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,800 Speaker 1: but before the safety came over. And it didn't work. 742 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,120 Speaker 1: But they were given help on the outside. And that's 743 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,520 Speaker 1: when Troy said, they're gonna have to start using the 744 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,359 Speaker 1: middle of the field, and so they used Witten. And 745 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,880 Speaker 1: then they started throwing the little and it wasn't like 746 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,520 Speaker 1: dump off passes to Zeke. They were like on the 747 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:48,280 Speaker 1: run throws to the outside and and that was working. 748 00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,800 Speaker 1: What Zeke had about one hundred and fifty some total 749 00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,080 Speaker 1: yards something like that. He catches for forty three. They 750 00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,359 Speaker 1: got him in the screen game, blake yack Jarwin two 751 00:42:56,400 --> 00:43:00,400 Speaker 1: catches yards. That's my guy, that's my guy. I'm I 752 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 1: love me some Witten. But he is just so explosive 753 00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,560 Speaker 1: and he eats up yards. He eats up yards and 754 00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:10,760 Speaker 1: he catch the ball. And we've eaten up time here, Cowboys. 755 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,840 Speaker 1: We're gonna go. We'll be back again tomorrow and we'll 756 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:19,360 Speaker 1: explore further into these Philadelphia Eagles. The biggest week of 757 00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:23,600 Speaker 1: the season. Here at the start. This has been a 758 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:27,320 Speaker 1: production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys 759 00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:28,000 Speaker 1: Football Club.
