And now what a week we 0:00:56.800 --> 0:01:00.240 have in front of us. But let's talk about Sunday. 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:03.800 That's more like it, right, Mickey, Absolutely, It's like where 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:07.080 you've been, guys. Can we just you know, just dive 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:09.639 into that and just talk about that like the whole break, 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:12.080 you know, through the break. I mean, this is this 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:14.560 is fun. This is fun. I got out this month, 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:19.480 felt like Christmas morning. Have feeling good, not depressed. The 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:25.120 weather outside cannot depress me today today, even if it's freezing, Yes, 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:29.400 brizzly Gray, Well, Jerry say after the game, just what 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:32.679 the doctor ordered? Yes, absolutely for him too, because I 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:35.039 think he said did he I think on the quote 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:38.319 sheet was they outplayed my expectations for this game, because 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:41.160 you know, not that he doesn't have faith in this team, 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:43.720 but I think the Chicago loss was just a gut 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:47.080 punch for everybody. I just don't think we realized. And 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:50.320 you guys, really y'all brought it to my attention last week, 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:54.640 having that rest, you know, that's kind of what I 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:57.160 was so naive to that. I think you brought it up, Bob, 0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:01.240 about the three games and what was it twelve and 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:02.640 then if you look over the course of the whole 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:10.200 nineteen o four nineteen, we were talking about how unremarkable 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.360 they looked. The body language wasn't there, and when as 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:15.919 soon as you guys said that, it just kind of 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:17.480 clicked in my head. I don't know if that was 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:21.440 the reason, but it seems like they just needed a break, 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:25.200 you know, I mean an extended break, not just the week. 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.320 They needed that ten days. And what I saw it 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.960 was it wasn't it wasn't Philly. You know, it wasn't 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.200 that Philly game when they came out of the first 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:38.120 three game losing streak. But it was a different team, 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:42.840 a more energetic team, and they played with excitement, they 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:47.400 played with confidence because what we saw before during the 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:50.160 three game stretch was just a lot of guys out 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:54.040 there that looked unsure of themselves. This was not that game. 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.920 This was not that even after the drop by Cooper, 0:02:57.880 --> 0:02:59.480 which was a big drop to me that but I 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:03.480 could have taking us back down that same road, down 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:05.920 the same rabbit hole, and it did not. You know, 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:09.120 we still came back and hey, we talked about it. 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:13.440 Offensive line, baby, that old line took over this team 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.880 really the way they should and this is the team 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:20.040 that we'll accustomed to from last year, even two years ago. 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:26.080 You know, nobody would admit it publicly when I asked 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:30.240 round about just getting refreshed, like this was a reboot, 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:33.839 like you were worn out after that New England thing, 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:36.240 and I kind of got the wink, but no one 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:38.920 would use it as an excuse. But I think it 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.960 was real. Now we'll find out next week. Can you 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:44.080 do this now two weeks in a row? Did this 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:50.600 another ten days? Right? Yeah? Or maybe just having played 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.840 indoors and not in BS weather like they did in 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.920 New England and able to come back and just kind 0:03:56.960 --> 0:04:00.520 of get themselves together, and not just physically probably, but 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:03.440 mentally too. I mean, I know they say they don't 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:06.600 hear the noise, but they hear the noise. Right. Your 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:09.480 coach is under fire, the offensive quadinat or doesn't know 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:13.520 what he's doing anymore. No one can make tackles. You know, 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.440 you miss nineteen tackles. I don't know who comes up 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:19.080 with that stat, but that's the one that's thrown around. 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:22.720 And then in this game you're punishing people with tackles. 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:27.440 So what's the What happened? How did the switch turn right? Well, 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:30.880 maybe maybe there was something to that, because that's the 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:35.000 team we thought we knew coming out of training camp. 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.400 My college coach was one of the greatest coaches ever, 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:41.040 and he got this quote from another great coach, Fatigue 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:44.400 makes cowards of us. All. So, when you're tired, whether 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:48.560 it's mentally or physically, you're going to have problems reacting. 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.560 You're gonna have problems with your confidence, You're gonna have 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:54.359 to a problem following through with plays. And that's what's 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:56.200 going on with the Cowboys. All of a sudden, you 0:04:56.279 --> 0:05:00.599 got written well written, couldn't catch a cold. You down 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:04.800 his pants in New England. He couldn't reach for anything. 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:08.120 All of a sudden, he's snagging like he's Gronkowski or 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:12.800 somebody or or something. We're showing the highlight right now 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:15.880 if you're watching. And you said it, Everson, during the week, 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:19.400 they needed some kind of splash play, something to spark 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.640 this team. And Wit said that was the first time 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:25.040 in sixteen years he has spiked a football, and it 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:28.800 was so awkward and he was so awk like, whoa, whoa, 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:30.840 that thing's going to hurt him sound, But he, you know, 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:35.040 he that to me was venting all this team's frustration. 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:37.960 And he said it after the game. Mickey, you just 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.440 said it too. Three games in eleven days and nothing 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:44.040 goes your way, and they just needed something to get 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:47.040 him out of it. You're facing third and ten and 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.320 here we go again. We're gonna have to kick a 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:51.200 field goal in the red zone with the new kicker. 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:54.280 We just fired our old kicker, and basically Wit said 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:56.320 screw this, you know, and made a heck of a 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:59.960 play and that kind of got things got things going. Everson, 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:02.719 to your point, I just went back quickly and reviewed, 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:05.359 you know, because everyone talked about the Cowboys playing on 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:09.159 Thanksgiving Day. And the real advantage the Cowboys had back 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:11.960 in the day playing on Thanksgiving Day was the game 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.520 they played after Thanksgiving Day, which they got the long 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.600 weekend ten days until the next game. And from nineteen 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:21.520 sixty eight through nineteen eighty four, over a seventeen year period, 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:25.680 that Cowboys were fifteen and oh the week after Thanksgiving, 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:29.400 had fifteen Thanksgiving Day games from sixty eight to eighty 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:31.800 four and were unbeaten during that time. Wow, and they 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:34.880 weren't unbeaten on Thanksgiving Day itself. That yeah, Yeah, that 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.920 was amazing. Yeah, it was you know what, both the street. 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:47.839 Remember that game at Cincinnati. Oh goodness, they the ten 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:50.880 days after Thanksgiving. It was like fifty one to something. 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:55.279 Remember the Remember the big the big white fullback. What 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:58.320 was his name, Killer Brew? Yes, I was gonna say Harmon. 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:05.440 That's the baseball player the way I just remember the 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.560 big offensive lineman Montoya that's name. Yeah, I remember in 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.640 my face, twenty yards down here and a little bit 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:14.280 of running back your size Brooks is right behind him, right, 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:17.040 And that was the worst feeling in the world. I 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.880 felt like Jalen Smith. That's why I know the feeling. 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:22.040 The big lineman in your face. You can't do anything 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.240 with those guys in your face. Man. You know. Before 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:26.560 the game on the pregame show, they asked me, what 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:29.000 what does it take to get this team some confidence? 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:31.560 I said, they gotta make a play. You gotta make 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:35.520 some big plays and Witton's play you guys just talked about. 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:37.840 It was third and ten. They're getting ready to kick 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.880 another field goal, right, and it was like, oh, here 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:43.360 they go again. You had the drop. Now it's gonna 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.720 you drove with the field goal kicker kick the open 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:50.280 he kick right. That was a great stuff, which, by 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:55.240 the way, started this way started this game. Is there 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:59.200 a better example of Murphy's law than the first two 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:06.800 things that happened? Right? We was like, go again, they 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:10.200 can't even get the point and taught us rush unbelievable 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:12.880 and then he was like, we want to kick and 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:18.320 then you kick it out about unbelievable. But they made 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:20.880 the play, you know, and it was somewhat of a 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:24.160 spectacular play. Then you got the play from Tavon Austin 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:28.120 and I had looked over the first I think I 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.840 mentioned it last week. Over the first ten games, they 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:35.120 had forty seven big pass plays twenty yards or more 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:38.400 in the last three games they had ten. Well, in 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:43.480 this game total, they had seven big plays of twenty 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:46.839 yards or more, runs, pass, whatever, and all of a 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:49.800 sudden it came back. It disappeared from what they were 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:52.560 doing almost five or six a game. Then it went 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:55.560 down to you know, two or three a game. So 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:58.920 they made plays and you get confidence. Yeah, I don't 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:01.760 care if your pilot or if you're you're Zeke Elliott. 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:07.480 You can see second effort in almost every run, you know, 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:11.080 instead of going down with the arm tackle like oh man, 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:14.720 I was almost you know, now, all of a sudden, 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:17.840 we were like breaking through, you know, every every running play. 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.920 Now we're breaking through. We're we're not stumbling now you 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:25.360 know where, we're gaining our balance and we're continuing on. Yeah. 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:26.880 I guess that's a metaphor for the rest of this 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:30.520 season really, because that's the way they played. Even even 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:32.840 Zeke when he was getting hit for what looked like 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.240 a one or two yard game sudden it was five 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:40.080 right now, given surging forward, he ran possessed and Pollard 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:42.280 you can forget about this. Oh he's not a between 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:44.720 the tackles running because he broke a bunch of tackles 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:47.200 to your point, Jerry said after the game, one of 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:50.120 the questions he was asked, he used the word physical 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:55.080 five or six times, and that was their identity. On 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:58.240 Sunday with the run game and then the run defense, 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.840 Antoine Woods coming back had a huge impact in the 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:05.440 middle of the defensive line. N Lee, Oh my god, 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:07.720 he looked like a warrior out there, just bloodied up. 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:12.080 Great shot. I take that shot and I signed all 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:16.360 the graphs on that thing forever. That was typical of 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:19.480 how he came back to me. That was a redeeming 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:21.720 game for him. You know, he's been a little bit 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:25.400 vilified since Thanksgiving. I mean, guys catching, tightening, is catching 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:27.480 one hand to pass on him. He's back there looking loss. 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:31.760 Van Duesh goes down. He's missing tackles. Sean Lee's missing tackles. 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:34.520 This was the game. This was the game. This was 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.520 Sean Lee from I don't think he played this well. 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:41.599 I don't think he's played this well, meaning just like recognition, 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:46.200 as far as playmaking and impacting the game, it's gotta 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:48.760 be about three years. I mean, because he's two years 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:52.160 since he had an interception, and the interception reminded me 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:54.640 of him. Early in his career when he picked Peyton 0:10:54.640 --> 0:11:00.559 Manning undercutting those plays recognition, that's what we talked about out. Yes, 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:02.439 you know sometimes you can't be a dummy. I mean, 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:04.200 you know they're setting you up with the short route 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:06.760 underneath so you can jump that, they're gonna hit it behind. 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:10.760 You can't get around that. That's just basic offensive football 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:14.400 against the zone. Not only did Sean Lee figure out, 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:17.480 I saw some dude back there with braids diving forward 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:20.280 as well. So you got both of your middle linebackers 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:29.120 that that wasn't Jeff. That was not Jeff. Now you 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:33.440 had two middle linebackers about what fifteen years d you know, 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:36.959 making plays on about recognizing what's going on and delivering 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:39.880 svil out of that, delivering some thumps too, both of 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:44.920 them like physical stone setting type of tackles early and 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.160 then a couple behind the line of scrimmage with Woods 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:49.480 and Tank Lawrence and all of a sudden, now that's 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:52.560 you got back. You got your identity back there. Somebody 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:55.680 talked about DNA getting your DNA back. I think Jason 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:58.560 mentioned it in the locker room post game, And that's 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:01.360 that's one of them for the dfense. The physicality the 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:05.960 intensity it was. It was what you saw against Philadelphia. 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:08.480 And I remember them saying after the game in Philadelphia, 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:12.920 we had to out physical them up front, and that's 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:14.959 what they did. And that just happened to be the 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:18.040 last time this is the complimentary football. That's probably the 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:19.800 other game you can really point to that they did that, 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:22.880 you know, And remember, Sean Lee didn't practice all week. 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:28.600 He actually that was the plan, and I found out 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.520 late Friday afternoon that that was the plan, and they 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:34.160 felt pretty good that he was going to play. That's 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:39.720 not practicing this week either, so maybe and it was pointing. 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.720 I think Ben Bloom pointed out to me that while 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:45.920 he didn't practice, he did all the walkthroughs. He said, 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:47.880 so if you practice, I don't know. He gave me 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.920 a number of how many snaps you might get during practice, 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:54.760 maybe forty or so fifty something like that, he said, 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:58.880 But he did everything in the walkthrough, which goes over 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:02.160 a hundred. He's gonna be the most prepared player off 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:05.880 the field, so you don't have to worry about, you know. 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:08.320 And the good thing was they got a lead and 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:11.080 he didn't have to play half the fourth quarter. I 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:16.840 think I looked up he had forty um forty three snaps. Yeah, 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:19.000 they took him in jail and out, so and most 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:22.240 of the guys came out except for the secondary. So yeah, 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:25.920 just don't go sit down. But I really enjoyed the 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:29.560 fact that the roof was closed and the sound, you know, 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:32.480 the doors were open. Now they talked about that like 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:36.120 it's a big deal. You're the second person to tell 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:39.120 me that, But that's because they blew their doors on. 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:43.280 It was okay because you're the second person to team 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:46.360 me up there. So I just I just thought that 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:52.120 the crowd themselves the first drive actually surprised me, did it. 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:53.880 I told you what they were gonna do. Man, they're 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.560 gonna come out, they're gonna support. This is different from 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:58.719 Texas Stadium, and we talked about that, Yeah, this is 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:02.160 not that Texas Stadium. They get the cues when that, 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:06.440 when that roof is closed. They gave Golf plenty of 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:09.360 problems on This is more of a blue collar crowd Texas. 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.440 I just thought everybody was fed up and the first 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:14.800 thing that went wrong they were just gonna turn on them. 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:20.880 But they started right from doing this and they're they're 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:23.680 making noise and there weren't a ton of Rams Jerseys 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:27.080 in the crowd either. I was. I was pleasantly surprised that. 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:30.160 You know, it is Los Angeles, You know it is 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:34.400 Los Angeles. Time to build a fan base, and whatever 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:37.280 fan base they had in Saint Louis turned down. They 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:40.000 don't care about it. The boy they're now Cowboys, fans say, 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:47.280 And it was so loud that Walt Anderson couldn't hear 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:51.240 Dak Prescott say defer.

Make sure that you go over this 0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:07.560 game real quickly and make sure you correct whatever mistakes 0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:10.720 you might have made. Uh, get the kicker out there 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:13.320 to a happy lock of room. Yeah, God, where they 0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:18.879 captured that? That's about about so music was put in 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:24.560 the music bet that. I'm sure there was other music 0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:27.399 being great feeling. Man still captured the great feeling. But 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:29.959 you know what it didn't I mean by time I 0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:32.640 got in there after Jason Garrett finished, I mean, most 0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:34.480 of the guys were gone. It wasn't like there was 0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:36.720 a big celebrate. Did you go in right away? It 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:40.720 didn't look like a huge celebration going on or no, 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:44.199 I mean even the but here was the key. The 0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:48.160 offensive linemen were talking. I saw Tyrn Smith do an interview. 0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:52.800 Tyrann Smith doesn't do interview with like twenty people around him, right, Yeah, 0:19:52.840 --> 0:19:56.560 And he actually spoke like sentences, not just a couple 0:19:56.560 --> 0:19:59.480 of words. He's very shy. I mean, he just would 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:02.199 rather not do it, and he was into it. So 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:05.920 I thought that was a good, good sign all right. 0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:11.680 As far as the way this game started, the coin tosser, guys, 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:14.360 somebody break this. Everson was at the game. The game, 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:17.119 so you did not hear what the audio that was 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:20.040 played during the first half on the Fox broadcast, which 0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:23.960 got the attention of the NFL officials back in New 0:20:24.040 --> 0:20:27.200 York that maybe a mistake had been made here. When 0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:32.160 I heard it, and the first thing I heard Daxy 0:20:32.520 --> 0:20:37.320 is uh, he said, yeah, Cowboys win the toss your choice, 0:20:37.520 --> 0:20:41.440 And he goes, yeah, we want to kick it that way. 0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:43.560 And I'm the hairs went up on the back of 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:47.440 my neck. I'm going, no, you don't want to you 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:49.800 can't say that. And then he and then he came 0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:52.080 back and and and there was a lot of commotions 0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:54.560 and he goes, yeah, yeah, defer, and we're gonna kick 0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:59.360 it that yeah. And for some reason, wald Anderson had 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:02.280 never heard her. He heard the first thing, and I 0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:06.160 think he got flustered and and and then it was like, 0:21:06.400 --> 0:21:10.199 oh my god, that was so funny talking about it 0:21:10.200 --> 0:21:13.040 after the guy that was a great He said, we 0:21:13.400 --> 0:21:16.600 thought we'd get the adversity out of the way right away. 0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:19.760 Before we got he said, I said a little bit 0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:23.679 at everything. I love that, I said. They asked, what 0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:25.200 do you say? I said, well, I said a little 0:21:25.200 --> 0:21:29.320 bit of everything. And then and then afterwards de Marcus 0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:32.119 Lawrence confused the whole thing because he goes, that was 0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:34.199 on me. He goes, I was the one in the 0:21:34.240 --> 0:21:38.440 background going kick it, kick it. We want to play defense, right, 0:21:38.920 --> 0:21:43.520 And he was saying that because you see it on 0:21:43.560 --> 0:21:48.919 the video. I think defense. Defense. Yeah, defense. And then 0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:52.040 and then you can see like there was some confusion 0:21:52.800 --> 0:21:58.280 and Jason like was talking to one of the officials. 0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:00.040 I don't think it was Anderson, but it was the 0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:02.360 other the other guy there, and they were going back 0:22:02.400 --> 0:22:04.919 and forth and he called dak over like, hey, what 0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:08.520 did you say? Right? And and so they're kind of 0:22:08.560 --> 0:22:13.960 explaining it to him. Is that and that's your Yeah, 0:22:14.359 --> 0:22:20.240 he liked him a lot. He lives around here. He 0:22:18.720 --> 0:22:22.440 can hear man tell them what you want to say, 0:22:23.560 --> 0:22:27.080 not the first time? And so how about this? So 0:22:27.160 --> 0:22:30.120 this thing is going back and forth on TV now 0:22:30.240 --> 0:22:33.800 during the game because uh, Fox came back and they 0:22:33.840 --> 0:22:37.879 played the audio and shimed in and say, well he 0:22:37.920 --> 0:22:41.960 did say defer. Now is it what he said first? 0:22:42.119 --> 0:22:44.600 Or how are we going to do this right? And 0:22:44.640 --> 0:22:48.920 then when they came back at halftime, Yeah, that's why 0:22:48.960 --> 0:22:52.639 I got Aaron Andrews. Aaron Andrews said, well, I talked 0:22:52.680 --> 0:22:57.440 to Jason Garrett and he didn't know we had audio 0:22:57.760 --> 0:23:01.520 of it. And then when he talked she talked to 0:23:02.119 --> 0:23:04.920 Sean McVeigh. He thought they were getting the ball when 0:23:04.920 --> 0:23:06.920 they came out of the locker room. He was convinced 0:23:06.920 --> 0:23:09.359 they were getting the ball, and it was important at 0:23:09.400 --> 0:23:11.239 the end of the first half. You'd like to know 0:23:11.359 --> 0:23:14.640 who's getting the ball to start the second half strategy. 0:23:14.720 --> 0:23:16.200 And so it was kind of up in the air 0:23:16.320 --> 0:23:19.920 until they went to the pool report there with Al 0:23:20.000 --> 0:23:24.000 Riveron in New York. Thank god for Rule fifteen for replay, 0:23:24.119 --> 0:23:28.600
