8
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: Season seventeen, episode number eighteen. Welcome to the the latest edition

9
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: of The Break, Real Life from the s WBC Mortgage Studios.

10
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: At the start and we got to talk about the

11
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys first game of the season. They lose thirty one

12
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: to twenty nine, but there are mixed opinions as to

13
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: what that might mean. We're gonna get into all that

14
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: throughout today's show. We're gonna tell you what when right

15
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: and wrong for the Cowboys, where they played well and

16
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: where they had some questionable moments that maybe could have

17
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: led to a win. I want to start though, with

18
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: the big prevailing question I think coming out of a

19
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,559
Speaker 1: game like this, and we alluded to it last week,

20
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: when you play as well as the Cowboys did on

21
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:20,199
Speaker 1: the road against the defending champions even though you lost

22
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: the game. Do you look at this as a moral

23
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: victory or do you look at as just another loss? Dave?

24
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: You know what's funny, Like they didn't even play that well, No,

25
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: I'm not in the grand like, not in the grand scheme,

26
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking about special teams missques leaving four points

27
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: on the field, like they had a lot of dumb stuff,

28
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 1: Like they didn't play the cleanest game in the world.

29
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: That's what I mean by that. But like I'm sorry

30
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: people that just want to win all the time, like

31
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: I am hype today, Derek, I am hype, and I

32
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: can't tell you I thought that was my role. What

33
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: are you doing? But see, the thing is is I'm

34
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: not going to try to tell you what it means

35
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: for eighteen weeks of the season. But this team can

36
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: hang and that matters because they could not last year.

37
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,399
Speaker 1: I mean, like winning is the name of the game.

38
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: They're oh and one. There's nothing they can do to

39
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: change that. But you got a chance every time you

40
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: take the field with a quarterback like Dak Prescott. That's

41
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: really that's what it boils down to for me. And

42
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: if you throw in a defense, they can get takeaways.

43
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: They're not gonna get four every week, but if they

44
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: can reliably do it against somebody as good as Tom Brady,

45
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: and maybe the Bucks aren't. Maybe the Bucks will struggle

46
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: this year, maybe they're you know, we don't know, but

47
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: it's a pretty good bet that they'll be good. Tom

48
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: Brady's missed the playoffs how many times in his career?

49
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: Like once? Seriously, how many times is Tom Brady miss

50
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: the playoffs in his career? Like oh eight when he

51
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: tores a c all week one, Like, didn't even count

52
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: that one because Tom's h and O two right after

53
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: his first of seven Super Bowls. Every other he's in

54
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: the playoffs every other fricking year. So they'll probably they

55
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: were an eleven win team that year, ten winting that

56
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: year that they didn't get they'll probably be in the playoffs.

57
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: And the Cowboys went to their house and took it

58
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: to the wire and know they didn't win, But I

59
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: can't knitpick that too much after what we had to

60
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: sit through last year. Man. And I think sometime in

61
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: the third quarter when they or maybe it was no

62
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: in the I'm sorry, in the fourth quarter, when they stripped,

63
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: God went on the goal line and gave Dak a

64
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: chance to go down and take the lead. I was like,

65
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: this is all I can really ask for, is if

66
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: they're in the game. They got this badass quarterback who

67
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: can make every throw and it's it's fun and it's entertaining,

68
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: and I like, if you can't find some joy in

69
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: that of knowing that is long like, he gives you

70
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: a chance every week and that's all you can ask for.

71
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: If you can't find some joy in that, maybe reevaluate

72
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: why you're even doing this. Nick moral victory or just

73
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: another loss? Well, because it was just another loss, but

74
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: uh well, I mean moral to me, moral victory is

75
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: if if you're content and I don't want to get

76
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: you too far. I know you and they had a

77
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: whole debate off this last year, but I listened to

78
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: some of their show. I mean that's I mean, if

79
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: you if you have to play that role, you have

80
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: to play the role. I mean, if that's how you

81
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: believe that, I'm sorry. I feel sorry for those two guys,

82
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: Jesse and Nate I'm talking about. I feel sorry if

83
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: they really believe that now, if they're playing the role

84
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: of like we got to be on the other side,

85
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: because Shannon and Kurt, you know, because I was watching

86
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: some of their show, Like, then that's the role they're

87
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: gonna play. If fine play the role. But like, if

88
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: you if you really believe that that gets doom and

89
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: gloom because of that game, I mean, then then why

90
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: are you doing this? Well, why are you being a fan?

91
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: Why are you you know? I mean, it's a it's

92
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: a long season. If the players were excited about it,

93
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: then yeah, you could have a problem. It was a

94
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: quiet plane ride. It was quiet buzz ride. They were

95
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: upset because they know they had had a game. But

96
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,119
Speaker 1: like Dave said, if that's why you how you're gonna

97
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: play like it's the same it's the same reason that

98
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: we got into that argument about the Pittsburgh game back.

99
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: Then if you're gonna play like that, bring it every week,

100
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: because I promise you this, the Eagles, the Chargers, the Giants,

101
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: the Panthers, they can't hang with that if you play

102
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: like that all the time. Okay, we'll get into the

103
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: Charger conversation next week. That's I'm I'm I think that's

104
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: a team that that well, we'll get discussing. But but

105
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 1: they can't hang with that. We'll talk about that. Now.

106
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: They will not hang with it premature, can we. I mean,

107
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: I'd like to see the Chargers play a game. They

108
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: got a pretty good quarterback too, and a pretty good

109
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: defense too. But anyway, let's talk about that next week. Well,

110
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: and again, if the Cowboys don't go and play like that,

111
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: then then they won't. But I'm just saying it's if

112
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: they go out and play the way that you know,

113
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: and and and they've said they didn't play that great

114
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: they had they had chances to win. They're not better

115
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: than the Bucks. The Cowboys are not better than the Bucks,

116
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: but they could have won the game. All right. I

117
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: want to take you guys to two moments in the game,

118
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: and I want to get what were I want you

119
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: to take go back and think what were your thoughts

120
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: in those moments? The first being, uh, when Greg z

121
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: air Line goes onto the field with I think guess

122
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: it was a minute twenty four at that point, goes

123
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: onto the field to have a field goal try in

124
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,119
Speaker 1: order to give the Cowboys the lead. What were you thinking?

125
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: Backed me up on this? They like, we say, we

126
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: say a lot of stuff, and maybe we embellish. We

127
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: were sitting next to each other Nick had already gone

128
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: down to do his postgame stuff. I was like, they're

129
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: gonna lose. Like they got a time out on the board,

130
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: there's a minute twenty four. Even if he makes this kick,

131
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: Brady's going to do his thing. I mean that's I

132
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: just I felt it in my bones Nick before or

133
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: after the kick, Before the kick, because I think it's

134
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: two different things I'm making. You didn't think he was

135
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: making Yeah, not really, No, I didn't. I didn't think

136
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: he was gonna make the kick. Um. I mean, we've

137
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: we've seen one of the worst field goals of all

138
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: time earlier in the game now, and I understand he

139
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: came back and had something, he had a he had

140
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: a wild night. But I didn't think he was gonna

141
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: make it. But when he when he did make it,

142
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I mean I thought about Aaron

143
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: Rodgers and the times that we've seen that before, We've

144
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: seen him going down the field, and so yeah, it

145
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: just seemed like an eternity, you know, and you get

146
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: anythink back to all these other miss kicks. You know,

147
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: I can make another field goal, make one of these

148
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: other field goals, and then I know the game plays

149
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 1: out differently. But if Tom Brady has to go score

150
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: a touchdown, still still could have done it. No, no,

151
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: but it's totally different. You can't just dink and dunk

152
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: for eight here and four here and all that. When

153
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: you gotta go get a touchdown. It's I mean, it's

154
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: very hard to do. But for somebody of Tom Brady's

155
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: caliber getting into field goal range with that much time,

156
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: like it's it's almost easy, Like it's you gotta make

157
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: it harder. I mean, yeah, they gotta. You gotta make

158
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: him score six. I don't care what the defense is

159
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: against him. No, a guy like that, you're given that

160
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: much time, good luck with that. There isn't a defense

161
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: against I mean there is, but I mean, you know,

162
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys did it against Drew Brees and eighteen. If

163
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: you remember the game, they won thirteen to ten, and

164
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: it's it's doable, but it's really hard. It's why guys

165
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: like Brady and Brees have forty five fifty career game

166
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: winning drives. Yepp so so, did it change once he

167
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: made the field goal? Nick, you mentioned that that kind

168
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: of two different things. Did your opinion change at that

169
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: point or did you then realize oh it twee twenty

170
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: four and Brady's coming on the field. No, I'm standing

171
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: next to one of our PR guys in the tunnel

172
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: and I looked over at him. This is like before midfield,

173
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: and I was like, do you think the Cowboys are

174
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: gonna win? He goes, I do, I don't. I don't.

175
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: I just think he's gonna go and do this. You know,

176
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: after Diggs almost got the pick, yeah, like, oh, I

177
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: thought that was actually the moment. Yeah. I was like, oh,

178
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: because he's gonna come out here and get two picks

179
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: off Tom Brady. But no, it just didn't happen. And

180
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: you know that's why he's as good as he is,

181
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: great as he is. Yeah, I'll tell you this. Like

182
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: at the point when when he was about to go

183
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: on the field, I had this conflict because in my

184
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: in my head, I was like Tom Brady one twenty four.

185
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: And I actually have a friend who was a Bucks

186
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: fan who was texting me and I was I told her,

187
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, he's got one twenty four. I'm

188
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: not feeling really good about this, so my heads tell

189
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: me one thing. But then you know how your intuition

190
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: starts to be like, man, the way they've played this game,

191
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: it would kind of make sense at this point that

192
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: they would make some kind of miraculous play and actually

193
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: win this game. And then and then the moment came

194
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: one play DeMarcus comes screaming around the end, barely missus

195
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: tom Brady's arm to be able to possibly knock the

196
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: ball out. By the way, earlier in the game we

197
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: saw Duran's armstrong hit his arm. Ball didn't come out,

198
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: so there's no guarantee ball comes out even if if

199
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: a tank gets him. He throws the pass, and then

200
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: you got Digs almost intercepting it, and I was like

201
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: that that was the moment. That was the moment that

202
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: to me I would have been like, Okay, yes, this

203
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: team has maybe that ability to win these kinds of games.

204
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: And the fact that they couldn't convert it it kind

205
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: of also said to me that's where their growth area is.

206
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: You got to finish these kinds of games. You played

207
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: a good game to keep you in contention. Those are

208
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 1: the moments that make the difference between a team that's

209
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: a championship caliber team and a team that just maybe

210
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: makes the playoffs. And then his out I go back

211
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: and forth. I don't think I completely agree with you

212
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: because they made a miraculous play to save the game.

213
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: The strip on Godwin was incredible, but that wasn't finishing

214
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: the game. No, you can still have to finish the game.

215
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: How many times? How many times are you going to

216
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: make that play against Tom Brady in that offense? If

217
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: you're going to beat teams like that, when you're faced

218
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: with those kinds of situations, going to be to figure

219
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: out if you're going to beat teams like that, you

220
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: convert your third downs on your drive and go score

221
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: the touchdown and put the game on great or run

222
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 1: the blockdown and kick the fuel goal with time running out.

223
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: That's great, and I agree with you. My point is

224
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: once you get beyond that point and you now have

225
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: a two point you have one point lead with one

226
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: twenty four left, if you're going to be a championship

227
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: caliber team, you gotta find a way to make a stop.

228
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: We do this. We do this every time the Cowboys

229
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: play a god tier quarterback. Is it's like you gotta

230
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: make the play aginst Aaron Rodgers or do you got

231
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 1: to not put your defense in a position where they're

232
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: forced to be the ones that have to make the

233
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: all that's fine side toward the strength of your team,

234
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: which is the offense. The offense left opportunities on the field. True,

235
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: we're going into the weeds. And I guess and that's

236
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 1: why Nick's laughs. I just laughing because I'm like, you're right,

237
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: like to be a championship team, but how about we

238
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: just how about let's work on getting winning record again.

239
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: I mean, like last year was so bad and so

240
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: um and as I wrote and my you know, my

241
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: story is like this is one thing I could tell

242
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: about this team is they're a pretty good football team.

243
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 1: They are a pretty good team. Now. Really good teams

244
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: will go and do those things you're talking about. So

245
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: it's only been one game. We haven't seen it, but

246
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: I can tell right now. I didn't know anything about

247
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: camp and preseason, I know anything about the team, but

248
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: I know right now that this is a pretty good

249
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: football team that can get better. And it's going to

250
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: get better because they got the best guard in football,

251
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: one of which is coming back. That won't make you

252
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: one to mention. Yep, I know we're gonna talk about

253
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore. I thought Kellen Moore should get some praise

254
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: for how he played that game. All that game and

255
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: just to be clear, I'm not this is not so

256
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: much a knock on them as much as what I'm

257
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: saying is that's their growth opportunity and Whycaeld Parson talked

258
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: talked about it after the game. He said, you know,

259
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: if you want to talk about where we can be better,

260
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: that's the kind of plays that we got to make

261
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: in order to finish games like That's my point is, yes,

262
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: they're not there yet, and that doesn't mean it's a

263
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: bad things. It means that if you're looking at them

264
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: and you're trying to be objective about how do we

265
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: play yesterday and how do we take that next step

266
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: to be that next level team. That's how you take

267
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: that dex level, both of the offense and for the defense.

268
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 1: Offense has to do some stuff, defense has to do

269
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: some stuff different. I don't disagree. I just and you're right,

270
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,839
Speaker 1: you're right, you're right, you're right, But it's the missed

271
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 1: opportunities for me or again, offense was they had such

272
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: a great night against that defense, not having Zach the

273
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: way the way Kellen called that game was masterful at times,

274
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: but you know, you go one of four in the

275
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: red zone that option played a Zeke her things man,

276
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: such a great call. Jarwin can't get the block on

277
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: the edge. Ze can't make a cornerback miss or truck him.

278
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: You'd like to think Zeke could truck that guy, especially

279
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: when I'm looking for him on the roster and he's

280
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: on he was on the practice squad. Well, that doesn't

281
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: mean what it usually means fair, But I get your point.

282
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: If it Darian Thompson the same way, and I would

283
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: think Leonard Fournett would truck him. Good point. But you know,

284
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 1: we saw a reverse to Cooper in the preseason to

285
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: Jarvin and he did the same thing. Yeah, I mean,

286
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: like out in space, saw that. I didn't think it wouldn't.

287
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: I mean, do we have a new starting tight end?

288
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: Is that what's going on here? Den? Surprise me? Does

289
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: it surprise you guys? I'm not ready to go there

290
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: just yet. It's just because it's weak one. But yeah,

291
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: I mean Dalton Schultz is he got the he got

292
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: the bulk of it. I still think there's gonna be

293
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: plenty of opportunity for both. But it was a Schultz night.

294
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: But I think we saw, I mean we saw. I

295
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: mean we talked about this earlier in the preseason. This

296
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: was a guy that last year put up sixty three

297
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: sixty three catches. I mean like he had a lot

298
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: of production for this offense last year. I didn't think

299
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: it was just a foregone conclusion that Blake Jarwin just

300
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: came back and assumed the starting position. I think Dalton

301
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: Schultz earned the right to continue to be the starter.

302
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: And it's gonna be a different type of tidda. I mean,

303
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: you know, three catches for Jarman, but he also had

304
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: to play down the field. That got a PI, you know,

305
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: and so he's gonna be a little bit more downfield threat.

306
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: But I think the way, especially with this offensive line

307
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: the way it was last night, I think Dak's gonna

308
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: get the ball out quick to guys like that, and

309
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: I think Schultz is going to benefit a little bit

310
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: more if it's just getting the ball out quick. All right,

311
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: We're gonna take our first break and we come back.

312

Speaker 1: We'll get more into this game. We got to talk

313
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: about Dak Prescott and certainly about Kellen More and kind

314
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: of game he called. We'll do it when we come

Speaker 1: Welcome back into the second segment of The Break Life

359
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: from s WBC Mortgage Studios. At the start, we're talking

360
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: about the Cowboys first game in the season. They lose

361
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: thirty one to twenty nine. Still very a lot of

362
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: positive things. I was not gonna I'm not gonna say

363
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: a positive thing that they lost, but a lot of

364
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: positive things to be taken out of that game. Jim No,

365
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 1: I just like I already said it. I mean, if

366
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: nobody wants them to lose, but if you're furious about

367
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: this result, just take a deep breath. I would just say,

368
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: enjoy this because this is sport and entertainment. So take

369
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: a moment just to relax and enjoy where we are. Like,

370
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: that was fun. That was That was one of those games.

371
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: That was one of those games where you're like, somebody

372
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: has to lose and that's unfortunate. What was that. I

373
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: think it may have been third maybe early fourth quarter,

374
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: when you looked over at me and you said, no

375
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,360
Speaker 1: matter what happens. From here on out. I'm good, That's

376
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: what I mean. And you know, it would be amazing

377
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: if the Cowboys made a playoff run and and all

378
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: that stuff. But like all you can ask for is

379
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: that the games are fun and entertaining every week, because

380
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: we've no firsthand what it's like when they're not, and worst,

381
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: it's like Sundays like going to a funeral every week.

382
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: Like nobody wants that right, and you're not gonna win

383
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: them all, but at least they're fun. So let's talk

384
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: about Dak Prescott. Yesterday. He goes forty to a fifty

385
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: seventy two percent completion percentage, four hundred and three yards,

386
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, only one interception, which I don't even think

387
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: was this fault, but he got one interception, had a

388
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: one hundred point one hundred and one point four rating.

389
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: Tell me what was the favorite thing you saw from

390
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: him yesterday in his return to the field after that injury.

391
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: Nick so many to choose from, including the first play,

392
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 1: but I thought the touchdown passed to Cooper when the

393
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: snapple was low and he dropped it, picked it up

394
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: and I mean without even panicking, no screen, you know,

395
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 1: just just got his eye, his back on one where

396
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: he needed to be. Is also a good trust in

397
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: Tomar knowing where he is. And it reminded me of

398
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: the game in twenty fifteen where the Cowboys were going

399
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: to play the Giants on Week one. UM and it

400
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: was like last play of the game, ten seconds to go,

401
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: Romo's driving him down the field and fred Frederick kind

402
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: of low snap, same thing. He just picked it up,

403
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: calmly through it to Witten for a game winner. And

404
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: at the end of Romo's career he was kind of

405
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: doing plays like that, UM And I thought that was

406
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: very similar for for for Dak, I mean, and just

407
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: just a play like that. I thought that was just

408
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: total under control despite a little chaotic scene. I could

409
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: do a whole segment on what I loved about that, actually,

410
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: the whole the whole thing, all right, I want, I

411
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: won't do, but I mean, like he made so many

412
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: amazing throws. The best throw of his night might have

413
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: not it might have been one that didn't count. The

414
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: throw that he made the CD on the It was

415
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 1: the final field goal drive before Brady got the ball

416
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: on Tyron Smith got called for holding, just dropped it

417
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: in a bucket right in this in the gap in

418
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: the zone to CD. Just his placement was incredible all night.

419
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it was just it was everything that makes

420
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott great. He got rocked. I mean, they were

421
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: pressure in the hell out of him. There was a

422
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: play I think he threw it to a Mari. He

423
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: got the pass off and completed it. The rush came in.

424
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: They literally they body slammed him. I mean, and he

425
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: was he was dealing with that all night. Didn't phase

426
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: him one bit. The fumble play, you know, he had

427
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: a quarterback keeper. I think somebody stepped on his hand

428
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: and they had to glue the cut shut and he's

429
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, whatever, and they got it. He called

430
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 1: it medic stuff. After the game, he was like, they

431
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: did some medic stuff so I'd stop bleeding and I

432
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: got back in the game. Um, Bays are crazy more

433
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: than anything. And this is this is just me. I

434
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: haven't talked to him about it, but his demeanor after

435
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: the game was very impressive to me. Uh okay, I

436
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,199
Speaker 1: go back twenty nineteen, and in the early part of

437
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, you lose games. You know, they were eight

438
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: and eighteen in nineteen. They obviously got off to a

439
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 1: rough star last year, and he looked frustrated after games

440
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: and like didn't have answers to the questions and YadA YadA,

441
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: and I you know, I know he doesn't didn't want

442
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: to lose last night, but he just exuded this like cool,

443
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: like he just was like, yeah, they got us, We'll

444
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: be okay, we'll be back. Yeah, I mean, and that

445
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: that's cool and that's gonna that's gonna make headlines. You know.

446
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 1: Romo said that to people, to quarterbacks do that. It's

447
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: it's cool. But just just his whole demeanor was like, yeah,

448
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: we lost this one, we're gonna win a lot. And

449
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: you know he's he was like, the expectation is that

450
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're a good team that's gonna make a

451
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: playoff push. I mean to say that after you fall

452
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: to OZ and one, Uh, just the whole way he

453
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 1: carried himself, like don't take this the wrong way. Like

454
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: he didn't look angry, and not to say that he's

455
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: not taking the loss hard, but he just was like, yeah,

456
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: like we're going we're coming back. We're gonna win some games.

457
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: Like and I thought that that was really impressive, especially

458
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,239
Speaker 1: to come so close to such a big win and

459
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: to just kind of be like, yeah, we'll be okay.

460
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: I thought that was really impressive. Yeah, it's interesting. After

461
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: the game, I think it was I want to say

462
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: it was a MARII that said this, but one of

463
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: the guys in the post game said, yeah, the only

464
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 1: thing that we know of what coach Toolson locking. Only

465
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: thing we know at this point is we won't go undefeated,

466
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: like everything else is still on the table for us,

467
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: and so I think that was that seemed to be

468
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 1: the impression I got from most of those guys was

469
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: like it was CAZy that said they're going to go

470
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: for sixteen and one. Okay, good on him. Good on

471
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: him for remembering that it's a seventeen game schedule, because

472
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 1: I would have said fifteen, because when he said that,

473
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: I was first. I would have so I said, so

474
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna be sixteen and one. He said, yes, sixteen

475
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: and one. Hey, I like her confidence. I hope they

476
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 1: can back it up and if we if it's if

477
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: it's like what we saw last night, I think they'll

478
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: do way more winning this year than they will do losing.

479
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: One of the reasons why I thought they won obviously,

480
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: Dak was one of them. The other is I think

481
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: the guy calling those plays on offense was a huge

482
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: reason nick I pointed out to you earlier in the game.

483
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: I think it was the first touchdown, I think where

484
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: they he kind of did a pump fake and then

485
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 1: went down field to CD and And it was basically

486
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: set up earlier in that drive Kellen Moore, because they

487
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 1: spread out the receivers. They had basically at twelve person

488
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: know that two tight ends in the game, which gives

489
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: you the right kind of matchups, but they split everybody

490
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: out wide, so each side, imagine this, you got a

491
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 1: tight end and then staggered off of them, you got

492
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: off the line of screen and you got a wide

493
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: receiver on both sides. And earlier in that same drive,

494
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: they had hit one of those wide receivers up tight

495
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: on a screen and that drew the defense up and

496
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: then on that play they pump fake and then your

497
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: downfield here you go. It's it's a little bit of

498
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: an injustice to just call it a pump fake too.

499
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: It was an out and out like fake screen because

500
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 1: you you faked the smoke screen, then CDs still got

501
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: to get eighteen yards down field. I mean, you're putting

502
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: a lot of trust in your offensive lineup. That is

503
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: a slow developing play. It was really impressive. So tell

504
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: me what was What did you notice about Kellen Moore

505
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: and how he called that game yesterday. Well, I thought

506
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: he did a great job of knowing that that we're

507
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: not going to run the ball of the medal here,

508
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: like this is their strength, this is our weakness of

509
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: the offensive line, and it's just it's not gonna it's

510
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. So let's go sideline the sideline, Let's

511
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: make it wide. Let's do different plays. Um. And I

512
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,239
Speaker 1: said this I think earlier in the week about you know,

513
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: some trick plays or throw them all out there, and

514
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: they did. They kind of had some different things out there,

515
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 1: a lot of different It looked like a college game,

516
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: which is great. You know, Um, I don't use Tony

517
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: Pollard the way Dave's been asking them to use Tony

518
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: Pollard for a long time. And so you know, now

519
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: at the end of the game, last play, I think,

520
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: I like my quarterback out there. I don't know what

521
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 1: that was. Yeah, I don't know what we watched that

522
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: from the tunnel. I don't even know for sure what

523
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 1: happened to be honest with you. Did I hear this right?

524
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: Because no one can back me up on this. I

525
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 1: haven't watched it. Did Mica Parsons snap the ball? Told

526
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: me that I had? I didn't notice that. I gotta

527
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: go back and I watched this. I don't know he did.

528
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: I I was looking at I had a terrible view

529
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 1: that wouldn't let me on the field. Right at the end,

530
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: I was like looking and I'm like, why is dackling sideline?

531
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 1: I've never seen a play like Parsons two in a game.

532
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: I've always it's always a hell Mary. I've never seen

533
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: a situation where it was going to be just run

534
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: the ball, he can do it, throw it back and

535
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: all that. It's kind of a hopeless situation anyway. No,

536
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: I like the creativity to trying something different. I mean,

537
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: likely you were going to get a hell Mary in

538
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: that situation. Probably wasn't great. So and maybe it's not

539
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: straying the quarterback's shoulder asking him to throw eighty yards either.

540
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: I just wish that this whole time we were worrying

541
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: about who the backup center was gonna be, it was

542
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: Michael Parsons all along. Like I didn't realize he was

543
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: the backup center. I know what you're saying. I get it. Yeah,

544
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 1: I had such a nerd crush about Kellen Moore's game

545
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: plan last night. It was so cool and it, I mean,

546
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: it reminded me of the first three games of twenty nineteen.

547
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: You'll never convince me ever, I'll say it forever. Something

548
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: happened in week four of twenty nineteen, like they somebody

549
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: forced Kellen to put the fun playbook away and get

550
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: the boring playbook out. Maybe it was Jason Garrett. I

551
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: don't know, but this was the fun playbook ads so

552
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: creative to get you know, utilize short passing to substitute

553
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: the running game the way they had Pollard involved RPOs

554
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: to screen game like just all sorts of stuff like that,

555
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 1: where zeke is an option to keep it if the

556
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: look is right, but you don't have to do it.

557
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 1: You mentioned the fakes, you know, setting up the fake

558
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: to CD. You know, I don't know if you want

559
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: to do super duper gadget plays like that all the time.

560
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 1: But even the the fake reverse that Tony Polygrand like,

561
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: that's where you can literally change the whole play by

562
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: just telling Tony, hey, stick the ball out when you

563
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: run past coop and it gives a defense a completely

564
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: different look. It was just it was fun. It was

565
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: really fun. But at some point you've got to be

566
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: able to run the football. And that's the problem with

567
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,239
Speaker 1: I mean, like, it was fun and cool and and

568
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: I'm with you, but when they got down into the

569
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: red zone, you can't just knock people off the ball.

570
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: There's that's that's gonna be an issue with this. Let's

571
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: talk about that because I personally believe that that was

572
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: a function of the team you were playing. This was

573
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: the number one rush defense in the league in twenty twenty,

574
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 1: and I and the times they did run like they

575
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 1: were getting nothing out of it. And I think as

576
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: opposed to some years that we've seen this team where

577
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: they continue to kind of beat their head against the

578
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 1: brick wall and have basically meaningless plays because they know

579
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: they can't do something that they keep trying to do.

580
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: They just opted to say, hey, we're just gonna back

581
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 1: up and throw the ball. So what what are you

582
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: doing that situation where you know the front, you can't

583
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: beat this front, And from the standpoint of running the ball,

584
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: what are you doing that situation? I do what the

585
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 1: Bucks did I do what other teams do, what the

586
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: Bears do. If Quentin Bohanna is gonna be active, then

587
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: get his ass out there and let him be a

588
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: lead blocker. Let him do something different. Get some beef

589
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: up there. Your tight ends have no beef, like you

590
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: want to let them be pass catchers and cool. And

591
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: maybe they're all good fantasy players, but they're but they're

592
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,080
Speaker 1: not blockers. And so twelve percent problem. They should have

593
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: handled back in the season like they don't. They got

594
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: two guys that are pretty much the same, and so

595
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,959
Speaker 1: they're not SATs from a standpoint of getting some meat.

596
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: They should have had a foot fullback that they wanted

597
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: to be able to do that right something. I mean

598
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 1: Tampa did does it. They put their star defensive tackle

599
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: out there and do it just for a player or two,

600
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: but they do it, and so you got to figure

601
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: out different ways to run the ball. So yeah, Tampa,

602
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: you know that they could say that trick play us

603
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 1: all day. You won, but when you get down to it,

604
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 1: you're really not going to score. I would just like

605
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 1: to point out that, I mean Tampa did a better

606
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: job in the red zone, but I mean the Bucks

607
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: ran fourteen times for fifty two yards. It's not like

608
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: they bulldozed the Cowboys. The run defense with the Cowboys

609
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: was very good. Yesterday. I thought, it's right, it means

610
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: different arguments, right, I mean, I'm just I'm just saying

611
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: I just I guess I feel like I never felt

612
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: like there was a time where the Bucks were like,

613
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna saddle up and pound it down your throat,

614
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: like the Bucks were doing the same thing they threw

615
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: Tom Brady through fifty times. Right, I've said this thousand times.

616
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: So it doesn't matter who you're playing. When push comes

617
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: to shove, they don't. They don't shove, they don't knock

618
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: people off the ball. And that has been a problem

619
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: with the red zone is that they have to rely

620
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: on Dak or you know, making a play because that

621
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: they're not just going to bull those people over the line.

622
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with that, um I do, you know,

623
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: and one game is such a small sample size, but

624
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: you look at this, I mean, you look at the stats,

625
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: and that's it's so clever, Like I don't care what

626
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: Zeke's stat line is. Michael Gallup probably twenty of his

627
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: thirty six receiving yards came on balls that were within

628
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: two yards of the line of scrimmage. Same thing for

629
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard's receptions. Same thing. You know, Dalton Schultz had

630
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: that really nifty screen. If you add up receptions that

631
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: happened at the line of scrimmage and went free yardage,

632
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: that's another sixty quote unquote rushing yards to your total.

633
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: So now you're looking at it and say, oh, they

634
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: had one hundred and twenty rushing yards. Nobody's talking about this.

635
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: If we get a month into the season and this

636
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: is what all of Zeke's stat lines look like, that's problematic. Um,

637
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: But right now, I'm impressed that they had the adaptability

638
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: to play it a different way because we saw them

639
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: just try to stubbornly match a square peg into a

640
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: roundhole for years and it never around. Yeah yeah, yeah,

641
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: I said it, right, Yeah, the same thing. Yeah. But

642
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: I mean we'll talk about this on Monday. I was

643
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: just telling you guys, I want to really dive into

644
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: that because I do think to some degree, there's an

645
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: argument that can be made that the identity of this

646
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: team has shifted and they are this what we saw

647
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: last night maybe what you may expect to see for

648
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: the next who knows we can save this season. We

649
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: can on Monday. We can save it for Monday, but

650
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: that shift happen is not. Let's talk about that on Monday,

651
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: because I do think there's some things we got to

652
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: talk about. There's some nuances to that. Let's take our

653
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:44,719
Speaker 1: final break when we come back. We gotta take some

654
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: time to talk about the offensive line, because I think

655
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: going into that game, most of us thought that the

656
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: big telltale was the fact that you didn't have your

657
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: best offensive linement. Connor mcgovernment was going to have to start.

658
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: The question for you guys is how did he play?

659
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: And was that a problem for them? Was it a

660
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: big of a problem as most peop I thought it

661
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: would be. We'll talk about that when we come back.

00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,959
Speaker 1: SWBC Mortgage studios at the Star Cowboys lose thirty one

705
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: twenty nine to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Next week they

706
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: will be taking on the Sandy, I'm not San Diego

707
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Chargers. We'll be out there next Sunday for

708
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: game number two. We'll get into that next week on

709
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: what that game may look like. But before we get

710
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: to that, we do need to talk about this offensive line.

711
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: As I said before the break, I personally thought that

712
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: the biggest problem that the Cowboys would possibly face last

713
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: night would be not having their their their best offensive player,

714
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: maybe definitely their best offensive lineman is Zach Martin and

715
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: Connor McGregor. We're trying to replace him. What did you think,

716
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: Connor McGregor, I'm sorry, interesting, it's Connor McGovern. That's funny

717
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 1: McGovern trying to replace him. What do you guys think

718
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 1: of the offensive line playing, specifically the play of Connor McGovern.

719
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: I thought they protected him, you know, I mean I

720
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: thought he played a decent game, um, you know, and

721
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 1: they threw the ball a lot, and that didn't really

722
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: get hit that much. I mean, well he got hit somebody,

723
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 1: he got hit somebody. Didn't get any sacks, just the

724
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 1: one critical sack too, Like that was a bad one.

725
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: That was on Doc. You gotta throw that away or

726
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,879
Speaker 1: gotta do something different that. You know, they were first

727
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: and ten on the twenty one yard line, and they

728
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: ended up kicking a sixty yard field goal, which somebody

729
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: explained to me why that happened. Um, I was a

730
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: bad coaching decision right there, and I'm just gonna be

731
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,879
Speaker 1: nice about it. I think I just don't know how

732
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:53,280
Speaker 1: you kick it. Unbelievable, especially he's struggling to make anything.

733
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he had thirty one yard field goal that

734
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: did not hit the net. Can I throw this out?

735
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,040
Speaker 1: Though they hit the ship? I thought about this and

736
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: even kicking that way, I'm gonna say, I don't think

737
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: that was the right end zone. But it's a good

738
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: job not about this. Do you think that maybe that

739
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: was one of those situations where there was only upside

740
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 1: from the standpoint of your kicker's mentality, like no, wait,

741
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: let me hear me out. Sorry, a sixty yarders if

742
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: you miss it. Your kicker doesn't feel bad about missing

743
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 1: a sixty yarder if he makes it. Whatever it happened previously,

744
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: that now feels a lot better because I made a

745
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: sixty yard Or do you think that maybe that was

746
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,280
Speaker 1: a part of the thought process of the head coach

747
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: with one second left in the clock, right yes, but

748
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 1: not with fifteen and not with Tom Brady. And I

749
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,280
Speaker 1: mean they had a miscommunication. They could have easily gotten

750
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: in there and gotten a field full. No. I from

751
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: the strategy of the game, I agree with you completely.

752
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: I'm asking if you're trying to rationalize how the coach

753
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: came to this decision. Okay, that maybe is a part

754
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 1: of the fact that I see it and then you

755
00:35:55,480 --> 00:36:00,080
Speaker 1: immediately immediately, you immediately say, but then you give the

756
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: goat to ball at the fifty with twenty seven? Did

757
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: you see He's amazing the way that, like again he

758
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: got them into fuel goal range with like so much

759
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 1: time to spare, and he's just chucking out routes. He's like,

760
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: I know this is only going to take two seconds

761
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: off the clock. I can't prove this, We'll never know,

762
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 1: but and I know a lot of people are complaining

763
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 1: about it. The miscommunication with Antonio Brown. Brown ran a

764
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: hitch and he threw deep. He's smart enough that he

765
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,399
Speaker 1: could have done that on purpose, because he was like, well,

766
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 1: what I want not there? But they can't throw a

767
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: flag on me for doing this. That's just expertise that

768
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: comes with twenty two years of playing in the NFL.

769
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: You're putting him on the fifty with twenty seconds to play. No,

770
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: and by the way, you get the ball coming out

771
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: a halftime, so you have all the opportunity to just

772
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: grab the game in the second half if he misses

773
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: the kick. And it worked out. It worked out, they

774
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: got lucky. But even a fuel goal puts them up

775
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: eight and all, and so now you can't even you

776
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:57,879
Speaker 1: can't even All you can do is tie the game.

777
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: Best case scenario. It was. It was stupid. It was

778
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 1: it was bad game management. I asked Mike about it

779
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: last night and he kind of dismissed. His answer was icy,

780
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: and I was like, saw he just he. I was like,

781
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: it was like, was there a debate or a conversation,

782
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 1: like how did you come to this decision? He was like,

783
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: I just had a lot of confidence in Greg and

784
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 1: and and that was It was a very f you

785
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: kind of tone. Definitely, I don't know, because he didn't

786
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 1: do anything in the offseason. He's got back surgery. His

787
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: kickoffs are not going to the end zone anymore. His

788
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: field goal went way left, he missed an extra point.

789
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: What a part of all of that says he's gonna

790
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: kill a sixty yard or here and and it'll be

791
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: fine and we have no recourse. I mean, I just

792
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: I just don't understand that. Now, Okay, I didn't get that,

793
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 1: but I also will say this. You know, he did

794
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: a nice job of getting the team ready to play.

795
00:37:56,320 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 1: Like this team was prepared, played hard, they played well.

796
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: They didn't care about anything else the outside noise. I

797
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 1: do give him credit for that, but that that, you know,

798
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 1: which is their job. I get it, it's their job.

799
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: But like they came in there to hit him in

800
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: the mouth and win that game. And I just did

801
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: not understand that when and they got lucky that it

802
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: didn't bite him and I and when I said at

803
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 1: the top of the show, they were kind of sloppy

804
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 1: the more you think about it. And I mean, the

805
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: defense is going to give up play as Tom Brady,

806
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 1: that's just gonna happen. Sorry, um, but especial special teams man.

807
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 1: And it's not just Zerline, Like they gave up the

808
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 1: long kick return. Zerline wasn't he wasn't getting balls in

809
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 1: the end zone, which is kind of concerning. Um. I

810
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 1: just thought they kind of looked like crap in that

811
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 1: aspect of the game. It's great that he rebounded to

812
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: kick the go ahead fuel goal, but that was gross,

813
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: and I mean it just was it was. It was

814
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: if And you know, we've been this has been a

815
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: very positive show. First. I mean we've done we've done

816
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,800
Speaker 1: some shows where we just killed everybody after a loss.

817
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,760
Speaker 1: No doubt. This is a very positive post lost show.

818
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 1: But if you're looking for something that I really hated,

819
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 1: basically everything about the way they manage their special teams

820
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: sucked last night in my opinion. Yeah, And I think

821
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 1: it all goes back to starts, and it has a

822
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: lot to do with what's going on with a kicker,

823
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 1: And I think we got to talk a little more

824
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: about that. We'll probably get into that on our next show.

825
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: When we talked a little bit about what the kicker,

826
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: I'm laughing because you guys in here, our producer, in

827
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 1: our ears, we're talking about the kicker? Correct, Right, boy?

828
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 1: We got a phone call. We gotta get to this

829
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,800
Speaker 1: phone call because I'm sure, I am absolutely positive she's

830
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: got some takes from that game. Welcome to the show,

831
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: Miss Ambercarcia. Amber, what up? Hey, guys, I just heard

832
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: Day say, oh boy, but you know what, you guys

833
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: got a positive amber today. Oh, abstivity today. Okay, Yes,

834
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,959
Speaker 1: I'm mainly Collings because I want to know, do you

835
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: guys and I myself qualify for a ring? I'm sorry

836
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: if I would. If I could have put money on

837
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 1: anybody calling us a bunch of bums for being excited

838
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 1: about a loss, I would have bet it would be

839
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: used with the Obviously they don't. They don't do NFC

840
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: East rings, right, we know that everybody knows that. Now

841
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: doesn't happen. You're talking about a Super Bowl ring? Yeah, well,

842
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: I did see last night one of our one of

843
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 1: our counterparts that works in the digital on the digital

844
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: media staff for the Bucks was walking around with her

845
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: big shiny ring and she's only two years in. So

846
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: I'm guessing they went top to bottom in their organization

847
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 1: they do. Those things are ridiculous. Yeah, those are paperweights. Yeah,

848
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 1: they're huge. Yeah. And if the Cowboys ever win a

849
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, a paperweight you want on your desk, That's true,

850
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,479
Speaker 1: It'll be like a watch ring. Yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna

851
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: say this. I'm guessing what will probably happen is they

852
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: will have one that they give to the players and

853
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: they'll have a replica version that maybe they decide to

854
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 1: let let employees. Yeah, gee, I thought you were calling

855
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: to bring us back to reality. What are you doing? Well,

856
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: you know what it is. You know what it was.

857
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: I was going into this game. Obviously, I've been kind

858
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 1: of keeping up with things, but not like very deep

859
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 1: like you guys during training camp and all that. But

860
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,760
Speaker 1: what it was for me is that training camp. Okay,

861
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: you hear about Dak and the shoulder injury. Then you

862
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 1: hear you know SAG's not gonna play then, and I

863
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: know these were preseason games, and I know it doesn't matter,

864
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't count. You're looking for other things other than wings,

865
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,800
Speaker 1: but it does suck when you don't win a freaking

866
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:48,800
Speaker 1: single preseason game, Like it doesn't annoy me. So my expectations,

867
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: my point is, my expectations for this game we're pretty low.

868
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,720
Speaker 1: To be honest. The defense, I wasn't trusting them or anything.

869
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: And then we hear about the rain in Tampa and

870
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: then I'm like, okay, won't this is not looking good? Sorry,

871
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: my baby buddy, He's like, no rings the punt is.

872
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: My expectations were kind of low for the game. So

873
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: when they putted the way they did, I was pretty

874
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 1: excited to be Dus performed the way he did, and

875
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: it like, I'm like in a more positive mood because

876
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: of how all my expectations were, if that makes sense. Yeah,

877
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 1: I think there's probably a lot of fans out there

878
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 1: like that, that they went into this game assuming and

879
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: by the way you look across all I was watching

880
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 1: all the shows yesterday as we were waiting for the game,

881
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: across the board everywhere, all the picks were Bucks, Bucks, Bucks, Bucks.

882
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,280
Speaker 1: Even on our shows, like Bucks Bucks, everybody's picking the Bucks.

883
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think there was this feeling I think

884
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: from a lot of fans that as of last night

885
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 1: or this morning, where they were like, you know, like

886
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 1: if everybody picked it that much of a landslide and

887
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys played the way they did, that's actually somewhat

888
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 1: of a like I feel better about that, even though

889
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 1: it was a loss. Right, the Cowboys employ one of

890
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 1: the four or five best quarterbacks in the NFL, and

891
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 1: he looked every bit the part last night. And if

892
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: that's if that's what you got, you got a chance

893
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: in every game you play, it's really all you can

894
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: ask for. So you should feel pretty good about what

895
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 1: happened last night. We were seeing that last year. He

896
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 1: was giving them a chance. They didn't win some of

897
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: those games, he was giving them a chance. Sometimes they did,

898
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: sometimes they didn't, but they were sorry not to cut

899
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 1: you off. They were playing bad football. Him included like

900
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: they were playing awful football. They played pretty good football

901
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 1: last night, not completely great, but pretty good kicker. But

902
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 1: the other thing before you guys are going to the

903
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 1: coal kicker situation, the other thing for me was also

904
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: is that it didn't take the whole first half of

905
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 1: the game for them to do things. You know, it

906
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, they started off and they were doing something,

907
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 1: and then they were keeping up with the Bucks, and

908
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 1: it wasn't like, oh, we're getting into the third quarter

909
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 1: then the fourth quarter for them to kind of try

910
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 1: to catch up to them. So that was another aspect

911
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 1: that for me was pretty positive and just feeling like, man, okay,

912
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 1: but didn't start with the super slow first half of

913
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 1: the game, and that we're doing moving the ball and

914
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 1: doing a few things now with the kicker position. You

915
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 1: guys can take on that conversation, this is ridiculous. I

916
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 1: don't understand what the problem is. How hard is it

917
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 1: to kick the ball right right? There we go, like

918
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 1: an extra point. Really, Like, okay, I was thinking, where

919
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 1: can I put my Damn Bailey poster? I know that

920
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: was a long time ago, but um, how hard is

921
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: it to find a damn Bailey back in the days

922
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 1: when he was good? You can probably find him right now.

923
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: You know. That's actually take on that conversation. All right,

924
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 1: thanks gad to hear from you all. You know, that's

925
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: act an interesting thing. I was having a similar conversation

926
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: with my wife this morning about the game, and she

927
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: was asking a similar question like is there somebody else

928
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: out there? And I'm like, yeah, but this is the

929
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:14,839
Speaker 1: problem that teams face at this part at this time, Like, yeah,

930
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:16,399
Speaker 1: there are other guys you could go out and get,

931
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 1: but you're basically giving up one problem that you know

932
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,880
Speaker 1: for an unknown problem. Like whoever's out on the street,

933
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: there's a reason they're on the street, and they're probably

934
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: even if they come in and they get on a

935
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 1: streak where they're just like kicking everything, there's a reason

936
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 1: why they're on the street, and at some point it's

937
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,359
Speaker 1: probably gonna rear its ugly head and then you're right

938
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 1: back into that same inconsistency. So it's like you know,

939
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 1: there's only there's several teams, and there are several teams

940
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: in the league. They have a really good kicker, and

941
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 1: they're good everybody else. They're kind of just hoping their

942
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 1: guy can make the kicks they need because there's not

943
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 1: really much recourse. Which and complicating this is Greg Zerline

944
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: has a contract that is not your average kicker contract.

945
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,280
Speaker 1: I mean, they signed him for three years, seven million,

946
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 1: so and they've freed up cap space with the restructures,

947
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: but cutting him would cost like two or three million dollars.

948
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 1: And I don't kick. I don't think that's something that

949
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 1: you want to do after one week. If it persists,

950
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 1: eventually things come to a head. But after one week. Actually,

951
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:15,879
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to whoever said this on Twitter. I don't

952
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:18,760
Speaker 1: remember who it was, But I don't hate the idea.

953
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think they need to cut Greg today.

954
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: That's at a little bit of an overreaction for me,

955
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 1: even though he was bad last night. But you could

956
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: sign another kicker to your practice squad and even get

957
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 1: you know, give Greg, that would give Greg time if

958
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: he's not right, if he's not healthy, get him healthy,

959
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: or just work until you feel more confident or whatever,

960
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 1: But there's sixteen spots on your practice squad. I'd like

961
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 1: to think you could afford to carry an extra kicker

962
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 1: for at least a month or so. Do you think

963
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 1: it's maybe even worth it to put that guy on

964
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 1: the active roster and let him kick off, Because that's

965
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: the other part to this. That's not when now we're

966
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,760
Speaker 1: going real college foot but I'm thinking about from a sandpoint,

967
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 1: if his back is still an issue and he's having

968
00:46:57,760 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: to work it back, the last thing you want to

969
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: just put too much on him. So is that made

970
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: a better in between this? He did say after the game,

971
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 1: he did say that two or three of those kickoffs

972
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 1: that were short where that was the call, that was

973
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,760
Speaker 1: the call now because they did come out and kicked

974
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 1: after after that he did go go through. So I

975
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 1: don't know if he's if he's heard or not or

976
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 1: still you know, not one hundred percent. He did have

977
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 1: back surgery, but um, you know it just the mechanics

978
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 1: of that, the ugly field goal, that was just something

979
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 1: we just haven't seen now. He kind of corrected himself

980
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:34,839
Speaker 1: as things were going. I didn't really get a good

981
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 1: view of the sixty yard or was it online. Was

982
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 1: it just short? I could tell the way our angle was,

983
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:42,840
Speaker 1: it was hard to see. It was definitely wide. It

984
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: was short. Kind of was hoping that guy back there

985
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 1: would return it like so that that would at least

986
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: have less field. Well, I mean, got a tackle him,

987
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: and we've seen Alabama fans will tell you that that's

988
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 1: not always easy. But um, you know, not that we're

989
00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:01,799
Speaker 1: should to talk about college football, but but I do

990
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 1: think I do think that that I still just hate

991
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 1: the kick. I hate the call, but I think he's

992
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 1: gonna turn it around and be OK. Yeah, I mean,

993
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: like I said, who else you're gonna get? You're gonna

994
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 1: get someone else's problems. I need, I need you to.

995
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 1: It's gonna take me three games before I'm ready to

996
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:24,359
Speaker 1: like completely dive into they have to make a change. Yeah,

997
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:26,359
Speaker 1: it's if they wanted to bring another guy on, that's

998
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 1: fine with me. But yeah, I think that's a little premature.

999
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 1: And it misses the kick with twenty four to go

1000
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: or oh yeah, I think then yeah, I think it does. Yeah, yeah,

1001
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,839
Speaker 1: because you I mean, and it forty eight is I mean,

1002
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 1: that's the money range, Like that's sixty arders. I don't

1003
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,920
Speaker 1: expect you to make. But forty to forty to fifty

1004
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: is where that's what's most money. Yeah, when he made

1005
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,919
Speaker 1: the kick, everyone was like, too much time, too much time.

1006
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:53,399
Speaker 1: If he misses that kick and then they kneel out

1007
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:55,919
Speaker 1: the ball whatever, we'd be sitting here going that would

1008
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 1: have won the game, you know, like he probably wouldn't

1009
00:48:58,640 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 1: have come back, you know what I mean, Like you

1010
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,319
Speaker 1: and however you want, of course, I mean you would

1011
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: be like, well, that was a game winning kick and

1012
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:07,279
Speaker 1: you missed it, yep, which is still honestly, it still

1013
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: is a game winning kick because it put him in

1014
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 1: the league left and they just couldn't They couldn't finish it.

1015
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 1: They couldn't finish the game. Shout out wait before it

1016
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: just since we were talking about it, I just shout

1017
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 1: out to Jordan Lewis for running down on a Hail

1018
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:25,360
Speaker 1: Mary cover, intercepting Tom Brady and getting to like the

1019
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,439
Speaker 1: opposing forty. Yeah, I'd have to go back and look

1020
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 1: at it, but I just lack because the other side

1021
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 1: of the field looked really open, and I that just

1022
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 1: would have been like one of the more amazing things

1023
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. But nice little two takeaway night for

1024
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis. Yeah, that was a all things considered, that

1025
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:45,239
Speaker 1: was a good performance by the defense from that standpoint.

1026
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 1: As far as it takeaway as a concern, they just

1027
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: if they don't sorry, if they don't, I mean, if

1028
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:52,879
Speaker 1: they don't give up the bomb to Antonio Brown on

1029
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:56,759
Speaker 1: the go route, amazing night by them. They still still

1030
00:49:56,760 --> 00:50:00,800
Speaker 1: a solid night, but that one bust kind of hangs over. Yeah, Monday,

1031
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: we're going to dive in a little deeper on that

1032
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:06,439
Speaker 1: conversation to defense, how they performed, and really just looking

1033
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,800
Speaker 1: at this team overall, how much complimentary football they played,

1034
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: how much is this team relying on dak is at

1035
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 1: a winning formula. We'll talk about that all on the Monday,

1036
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 1: But you guys, enjoy the weekend till then. For Nick Eatman,
