Speaker 1: The following. Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is Nick
Speaker 1: Shot screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the
Speaker 1: official Dallas Cowboys app now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls,
Speaker 1: and Nicky Spagnola yesterday figure of Dolls. M this is
Speaker 1: the your guys, this is a new guy. I've come
Speaker 1: to the realization to Cowboys art going to the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl after all. Finally, just now with this victory Monday's Stampede,
Speaker 1: I just realized it ain't happening this year. Well, there's
Speaker 1: there's victories in two other places. There is there is
Speaker 1: sorrow in two other places. Exactly, that's right, right, at
Speaker 1: least we don't have to, uh, we don't have the
Speaker 1: sorrow that they have in Kansas City this morning. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was just telling the guard down the hallway. I said,
Speaker 1: you know, when you lose games like that, there's a
Speaker 1: thousand reasons why, and they're having to go through that
Speaker 1: today in Kansas City along with San Francisco. I think
Speaker 1: the only thing about it if you look at you know,
Speaker 1: failure this year, which guy, there was a lot of
Speaker 1: with the upsets and it was a lot of it,
Speaker 1: a lot of failure that you just didn't see coming.
Speaker 1: You didn't see the Packers losing. You just didn't see
Speaker 1: it coming. You know. You you got a quarterback that
Speaker 1: uh could be in VP and he retired it. You
Speaker 1: know what I mean, he retired? Well did he retire?
Speaker 1: We think everybody saying he has Adam Adam Schefter, he
Speaker 1: came out first, rights come out of his mouth. Yes,
Speaker 1: a lot of people would like to hear Adam Schefter retired, right,
Speaker 1: maybe Tom Brady will announce And it's amazing, Adam Schefter reported,
Speaker 1: Ian Rapperports suddenly had sources that told him the same thing.
Speaker 1: Not amazing. But when you look at it and you
Speaker 1: compare failures, if it wasn't for the the you know,
Speaker 1: them winning the Super Bowl, the Chiefs would be that
Speaker 1: team that you would say, you know, they chiefed it up.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, the chief They chief the
Speaker 1: game up. So they become this verb. I think it's
Speaker 1: just because they have so much confidence in what they're doing.
Speaker 1: Sometimes they can get really foolish on the offensive side
Speaker 1: of the Chiefs and it cost them this year. It
Speaker 1: cost them. We'll get into that Tiver the course of
Speaker 1: the next hour here on mix Shots on on Monday. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then we moved to Monday. We switched with teammates,
Speaker 1: and so next week we will be back at our
Speaker 1: normal offseason Thursday time. Yeah, what will I do? That's sad,
Speaker 1: but it's a great I love the fact that we're
Speaker 1: doing Yesday this week because we can, uh, we can
Speaker 1: talk about what everybody watched on on Sunday and uh
Speaker 1: and spend it in a Cowboys way. What what can
Speaker 1: this team learn from not only what happened on Sunday,
Speaker 1: but the teams that are making it to the Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: the Rams as well as the Bengals and how they
Speaker 1: put their teams together. It's very interesting to to figure
Speaker 1: that out and see what we can learn from them. Well,
Speaker 1: the thing we talked about after the Cowboys loss, and
Speaker 1: I think after the next round of games that the
Speaker 1: teams that advanced generally had the better offensive lines in
Speaker 1: this one need you know, the second game, neither team
Speaker 1: could run the ball much, right, but protecting the quarterback
Speaker 1: in both games needed to be at a premium if
Speaker 1: you weren't gonna win. You know, I saw somebody had
Speaker 1: had a stat when Jimmy Garoppolo wasn't pressured. He had
Speaker 1: completed eighty percent of his pass and then when he
Speaker 1: was pressured, it was like two for nine. Well, shocking, right,
Speaker 1: that's the name of the game. Get pressure on a
Speaker 1: quarterback and he's not gonna be as good as he
Speaker 1: can stand in the pocket. Did you see that first
Speaker 1: half the time Mahomes had in the pocket, he was
Speaker 1: looking right, he was looking the middle. He was looking like,
Speaker 1: oh no, I'm gonna go down this way. Unbelievable the
Speaker 1: time he had. And then when the pocket disappe here
Speaker 1: all of a sudden started making mistake he looked, yes, absolutely.
Speaker 1: So what I took from all this stuff is that
Speaker 1: offensive line better be good if you're gonna succeed in
Speaker 1: the playoffs, no doubt about it. Now you guys can
Speaker 1: pick some well well, and I agree in going into
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Kansas City game with what Kansas City and
Speaker 1: Kansas City realized that after the Super Bowl last year
Speaker 1: they had to improve that offensive line. They acquired Orlando Brown.
Speaker 1: They have two rookies starting on the offensive line who
Speaker 1: are very good players, and they shored it up and
Speaker 1: then you saw, but you saw what happened with Joe
Speaker 1: Burrow last week against Tennessee getting sacked nine times, And
Speaker 1: so who would have thought that, Cincinnati, And you go
Speaker 1: through the whole first half of that game, and I'm going, well,
Speaker 1: we had some great games last week, but this, this
Speaker 1: first one this week, it certainly isn't gonna shape up
Speaker 1: that way. And then all of a sudden it's shaped
Speaker 1: up that way. Yeah, And and credit Cincinnati for figuring
Speaker 1: out a way to protect Borrow enough to where he
Speaker 1: could make plays, and they were established able to establish
Speaker 1: enough of a running game, you know, to bleed the
Speaker 1: clock and can and gain control of that game. I
Speaker 1: think what you saw was those stats and all of
Speaker 1: that that we care about. Once again, first thing priority,
Speaker 1: protect your quarterback as much as possible. But when it's
Speaker 1: all said and done and you can't do what you
Speaker 1: want to do, matchups are extremely important in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: You know, can your playmakers still come through no matter what?
Speaker 1: You know? They don't. They don't sit back there and
Speaker 1: start counting the sacks. They're like, Okay, we're still gonna
Speaker 1: move forward in spite of the fact that we're giving
Speaker 1: up sacks. They stay focused on the task at hand.
Speaker 1: And when it comes to the playoffs, you know, you
Speaker 1: just gotta have a totally different attitude. You can't be
Speaker 1: about numbers. It can't be about what your love like.
Speaker 1: It can't be about, Oh, we're inconsistent. Everybody's inconsistent in
Speaker 1: the playoffs. That's because you come up with good against
Speaker 1: good defenses. So we sit here in Dallas and we're
Speaker 1: always worried about optics. We worried a lot about optics
Speaker 1: and how it looks, and it affects the way we
Speaker 1: make our play calls. To me, as far as I've
Speaker 1: been saying matchups on the way to go, you tell
Speaker 1: me you can whoop my man Michael Passes, You tell
Speaker 1: me you can whoop my man trade var Did you
Speaker 1: tell me you can whoop my man Gallimore? If you
Speaker 1: can beat those guys, then you can have it. But
Speaker 1: the game plan to me, is secondary to how well
Speaker 1: you match up with the other team. You know, if
Speaker 1: I had told you in the NFC game that Cooper
Speaker 1: Cup was gonna catch eleven passes for one hundred and
Speaker 1: forty two yards two touchdowns, Odell Beckham nine passes for
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirteen yards, Matthew Stafford was gonna go
Speaker 1: throw for three thirty seven, they would have scored forty points. Right,
Speaker 1: they end up with twenty twenty and one. And one
Speaker 1: reason they end up with twenty and not twenty seven
Speaker 1: is God Cooper Cup dropped a touchdowns, so they would
Speaker 1: add another eighty yards or whatever the link of that
Speaker 1: would be twenty. They're beatable. Right. San Francisco ends up
Speaker 1: with seventeen. Right, they probably would have ended up with
Speaker 1: seventeen against the Cowboys had they not had the interception
Speaker 1: that gave him the easy kind of touchdown. And how
Speaker 1: many they have against Green Bay? They had thirteen and
Speaker 1: they and it was a special teams touchdown about thirteen
Speaker 1: they didn't they didn't have it didn't So the hard
Speaker 1: time those teams were beatable, they were beating This was
Speaker 1: our us facts, this was it. I said that as
Speaker 1: we were, they were. This was our year. If you're
Speaker 1: gonna do it with this team this year, we could
Speaker 1: have done it. And all excuses aside. You look at
Speaker 1: how well we played Savvy even badly. As badly as
Speaker 1: we played, still had a chance to beat San Francisco,
Speaker 1: who barely beat Green Bay, who barely lost to the Rams.
Speaker 1: The parody hate to use that word, but that that word,
Speaker 1: it's what we have. And it was really in spades
Speaker 1: this year. This was the year that we really could
Speaker 1: have done it. And really without even playing our best,
Speaker 1: we still could have done it. That's how that's how
Speaker 1: weird this playoffs. These playoffs are and I'm telling you
Speaker 1: it's all about matchup and just how many how many guts?
Speaker 1: What kind of guts do you have? You know what
Speaker 1: I mean? I mean, I mean you're gonna get hit
Speaker 1: in the mouth in the playoffs. And Burrows got hit
Speaker 1: in the mouth. Not how many times he gets sacked
Speaker 1: nine times last week against Tennis. No, this week they
Speaker 1: did good. He he only got sacked I think once
Speaker 1: or nuns or nuns. I gotta think I've ever said
Speaker 1: that word. I got it right here one time. And
Speaker 1: he was only only hit four times coming off of
Speaker 1: last week. That's a great adjustment, exactly, That's a great
Speaker 1: adjustment to make no one thing he felt so by
Speaker 1: the way, I didn't realize former Cowboys offensive line coaches,
Speaker 1: Cincinnati's line coach Frank Pollock, who these guys really liked here,
Speaker 1: and they let him go for Paul Alexander. If we
Speaker 1: remember there's a trade with Cincinnati. The former long time
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengal offensive line coach came here and Pollock landed there,
Speaker 1: and he's still there. And they you know, they spent
Speaker 1: a first round draft pick on the tackle from Alabama,
Speaker 1: but he's still he doesn't have all that much to
Speaker 1: work with. They haven't invested like a lot of people
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati had wished they did in their offensive line,
Speaker 1: but they made the investment they needed to make in
Speaker 1: and that was at the quarterback position. I had forgotten.
Speaker 1: I had forgotten that until I saw him on the
Speaker 1: sideline in a shot and I go, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: that's Pollock. He's still there. And you know what else
Speaker 1: was missing from this Basically this entire weekend. I just
Speaker 1: did not see a lot of it at all. And
Speaker 1: it made for good football. All penalties about that? Come on, man,
Speaker 1: and guess what. It was so enjoyable watch the game,
Speaker 1: Kansas City Cincinnati game, and the Bill Vanovitch was the
Speaker 1: referee on that game. And I understand his crew during
Speaker 1: the regular season, his crew, not this crew, but his
Speaker 1: crew during the regular season called the fewest penalties in
Speaker 1: the entire league. Now, you probably can referee even with
Speaker 1: an all star cast of officials around him, the referee
Speaker 1: can set the tone. They Okay, we're not going to
Speaker 1: we're not gonna call tiki tax stuff. We're not gonna
Speaker 1: do this or whatever. Yeah, and uh. And by the way,
Speaker 1: there was a couple of plays in the opening drive
Speaker 1: for Kansas City where yeah, you could have made interference calls.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm sure, I'm sure Cincinnati fans were yelling.
Speaker 1: And if it was Anthony Brown, they would have called it. Yeah, yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: that's right. But it was they would We were into
Speaker 1: the second quarter before the first penalty flag was thrown
Speaker 1: and it was an obvious false start or something like that.
Speaker 1: And well, and how about this the other crew for
Speaker 1: the NFC game, Carl Scheffer's the most penalty most penalties
Speaker 1: call and in this game they only called eight. Came
Speaker 1: from the top of the league there and only against
Speaker 1: the Rams only two. And I saw I think it
Speaker 1: was the second game a couple delay of games that
Speaker 1: didn't get mad and it was obvious. I'm thinking of
Speaker 1: the horn. You're thinking of me, Think of the horn?
Speaker 1: Where's the because you're it's crucial times of the game
Speaker 1: as well, cruial times of the game, yes, and they
Speaker 1: just let it slide. They just act like it didn't happen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was there at least a half a second. All right,
Speaker 1: there was one, you know what. And by the way, um,
Speaker 1: I ran into a guy that does some college games,
Speaker 1: and basically he kind of said that if it's like
Speaker 1: really close, the conferences want you to just let it go.
Speaker 1: Let it go, unless it's like two. They did have
Speaker 1: one of those. Yea, yeah, yeah. But but if if
Speaker 1: it's like on zero and then they're snapping right whatever
Speaker 1: TV right, they want to see offense, right, they want
Speaker 1: to say they did. Yes, they don't want to stoppage
Speaker 1: and play, especially as long as college games are. Yeah. Right.
Speaker 1: But to that point, there was one. And the second,
Speaker 1: I guess it was in the It was in the
Speaker 1: I think it was in the second half of the
Speaker 1: Kansas City game. It was a long pass crossing route
Speaker 1: to Tyreek Hill and uh and on the when they
Speaker 1: ran the play, he was in the inside. They had
Speaker 1: three receivers to the left, they had the receiver on
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage out wide, they had one flank
Speaker 1: and then he was the inside slot and he was
Speaker 1: closer to line and I'm telling you he was on
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, so he was covered by the
Speaker 1: outside wide receiver. He makes the catch, and I said, well,
Speaker 1: there's got to be a flag on it, right, And
Speaker 1: I went back and looked at it, and I took
Speaker 1: a picture of it. I can send you the bit.
Speaker 1: He clearly was at the line of scrim and they
Speaker 1: didn't call it. No. Romo pointed it out, Oh really,
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't hear the point. I was probably
Speaker 1: backing up my dvyard and he pointed out, he goes, look,
Speaker 1: that's too many guys on the line of okay, right,
Speaker 1: he goes, they can't have eight, right, and and they
Speaker 1: let it go. And and uh, the sideline was complaining too.
Speaker 1: By the ways, he may have been a different play.
Speaker 1: It may have been they may have been done it
Speaker 1: on multiple plays where they were just ignoring it. That
Speaker 1: was the formation, that was the heavy formation. They went
Speaker 1: that all the time. Yeah, and uh. And I went
Speaker 1: back and I texted it to Babe Luffenberg and Babe's like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's good. And I said, well he's even with the
Speaker 1: tackles even either, tyreek, what do you call the Babe
Speaker 1: got me over here, I'll take a call and uh
Speaker 1: so they visit aficionado of rules. Yeah, he just doesn't
Speaker 1: see him. Well, you know, and the amazing things with
Speaker 1: what Cheffer's his crew being the lead he beat hockily.
Speaker 1: After Hockeleague called twenty eight penalties in the Cowboy game,
Speaker 1: he still wasn't first. So that tells you how many
Speaker 1: penalties they were called. Ye, but they backed off. They
Speaker 1: let him play, right. There was a tawning penalty that
Speaker 1: was stupid. Yeah, yeah, it was dumb. That was dumb
Speaker 1: or something. I think he stepped over the guy or
Speaker 1: something and they called tawny and it's Z's al Sharier. Yes,
Speaker 1: very good. Um, all right, do you want to get
Speaker 1: to the end of the first half Kansas City game? Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: all right? Five seconds first off? His nine seconds left.
Speaker 1: They ran one play. Now it's five seconds left. They
Speaker 1: have no time him outs left. There had twenty one
Speaker 1: to ten. What are you doing in that situation? You
Speaker 1: mean the great Andy Reid didn't do it right and
Speaker 1: the Homes Yeah, and Mahomes thought he had a time
Speaker 1: out left at the end of that play. At the
Speaker 1: end of that play, he's called he's yeah, he looked
Speaker 1: and beyond that, perplexed, beyond the sense of timing. As
Speaker 1: soon as the first read wasn't there, okay, and he
Speaker 1: double clutched, and then he threw it out to Tyreke.
Speaker 1: It was the halfs over. It was okay because he
Speaker 1: did it on first down right with nine seconds to go. Uh,
Speaker 1: it wasn't open and he threw it in the ground
Speaker 1: in the end zone. Right. You should have done that
Speaker 1: again exactly if it had another it's it's a plant.
Speaker 1: I mean, five seconds left, it's a plant. First read.
Speaker 1: If it's there, go for it. If not, you're throwing
Speaker 1: it away. Because Romo pointed out that, and then you
Speaker 1: got one seconds. You can get three plays off. He goes, now,
Speaker 1: now Romo thinking right, but but but he was thinking
Speaker 1: three plays you know, snap throw, yes, snap throw yes,
Speaker 1: four seconds each time. You can't pump fake. Yeah, that's right,
Speaker 1: And that's three. If you pump fake easily, that's going
Speaker 1: down to two plays. Yeah, yeah, that's right. And so
Speaker 1: and you just did it. He went from nine to five.
Speaker 1: Now you can go five to one and just it's
Speaker 1: the same principle. And I but if it's not there,
Speaker 1: you can't double clutch and then throw it. Now okay,
Speaker 1: now half's over. And I just thought it was amazing
Speaker 1: that he didn't have the Mahomes, didn't have the presence
Speaker 1: herewood Reid did. No, he took took the fall. Four
Speaker 1: fell on the sword. He said, I could have given
Speaker 1: him a better play, right, And it's like, okay, maybe,
Speaker 1: but it didn't work. But to throw it in the ground.
Speaker 1: But you have to get points there, yeah, okay. And
Speaker 1: I know it felt like that they were so in
Speaker 1: control of the game. But I mean, huge, huge touchdown
Speaker 1: for Cincinnati was getting it to twenty one to ten.
Speaker 1: Yo boy, Yeah, I love that name. There were two
Speaker 1: great runs that are both of them. Yes, that one,
Speaker 1: uh no, the one Mixons was good. But Debos oh yeah,
Speaker 1: my goodness. Wow. Yeah Joe John because ran right through
Speaker 1: a lineback. But he just became a superstar. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: know a lot of people loved him before, but now
Speaker 1: everybody knows him. Yeah, so everybody's late to my party.
Speaker 1: But at the end of that half, even if they
Speaker 1: had kicked the field goal, you don't know that. Okay,
Speaker 1: those three points would have changed the whole game. It
Speaker 1: had made a little difficult, but Cincinnati did a heck
Speaker 1: of a job that second half, especially Burrow keeping his composure,
Speaker 1: not trying to win the game on one play, and
Speaker 1: when he didn't have something there, he upped out his
Speaker 1: offensive line running. His running backs helped him out a lot.
Speaker 1: They were outlets for him, and when they threw the
Speaker 1: ball to him, they weren't surprised. Right. Sometimes Zeke looked
Speaker 1: like he's so surprised that Dak fills in the ball
Speaker 1: out the flat. So these guys, they when they called it,
Speaker 1: they were ready to go. The running backs did a
Speaker 1: lot in this game. Pete Ryan and h Mixing. They
Speaker 1: did a great job. And that's where the matchups come in.
Speaker 1: They knew that they were gonna be so far deep.
Speaker 1: I mean, the linebackers were nowhere to be found for
Speaker 1: for for Casey, because they thought they can control it
Speaker 1: the front. It was the same thing they the Cowboys faced. Right.
Speaker 1: The team's thought, especially San Francisco, we can control your
Speaker 1: run game with our front, but you're not going to
Speaker 1: throw the ball down the field. And I gotta say
Speaker 1: I hate giving quarterbacks too much credit, but probably one
Speaker 1: of the better players of that game was in Burrows.
Speaker 1: Came Broke, Chris Jones. Yeah, sactackle. Oh yeah, yeah, that
Speaker 1: to me, that huge that he broke it twice, right,
Speaker 1: even when he escaped feet and down, that was huge
Speaker 1: and it uplifted the team itself. You know. The other
Speaker 1: thing that was big in that game was the fact
Speaker 1: that Kansas City was clicking on offense in the first half.
Speaker 1: I mean they were and it was all underneath stuff.
Speaker 1: I mean it was you know, they were taking what
Speaker 1: the defense gave him. But the key on that was
Speaker 1: and I think in the game, Kansas City only completed
Speaker 1: only had two plays of over twenty yards. That's what
Speaker 1: I heard this morning. I'm not haven't confirmed it, but
Speaker 1: but when you look at it, look at the number
Speaker 1: of possessions that Kansas City had in the first half. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they were scoring touchdowns on them, but they only had
Speaker 1: twenty one points. Yeah, okay, and they and they they scored,
Speaker 1: They scored on their first three possessions, and then that
Speaker 1: they only had four possessions in the first half of
Speaker 1: that game. And then they get the ball again to
Speaker 1: start the second half, which was the other reason. Why
Speaker 1: take the point. You got to get points. You're getting
Speaker 1: the ball back again, you know, And that's some of
Speaker 1: the things that that that quarterbacks don't see. That the
Speaker 1: guys that I definitely noticed during the game. I just
Speaker 1: hate watching wide receivers just release off the line of
Speaker 1: scrimmage with no one hindering their progress. Tyree Hill was
Speaker 1: coming off the line of scrimmage. No one was touching
Speaker 1: him when he was in that slot position. He was
Speaker 1: the guy that they're going for the dbs. If you're
Speaker 1: if you're a cornerback and you're lined up on him
Speaker 1: and you just opened up they called the saloon door.
Speaker 1: That's what they called. You opened up the saloon door,
Speaker 1: your safety is immediately under pressure. So that's why he
Speaker 1: was so successful in the in the first half. And
Speaker 1: I remember fussing that my son. I'm sure he like
Speaker 1: God Dad with your shouther. I remember fussed that my son, saying,
Speaker 1: why are they giving him a free release? Well they
Speaker 1: did the same thing to cup what in in the
Speaker 1: Cincinnati game second half? They changed, They changed, they did,
Speaker 1: they did. They gave him free at least when he
Speaker 1: was lined up outside, but if you lined up inside,
Speaker 1: they finally started pressing him and now there's no more
Speaker 1: pressure on him. So that's why you're looking at my
Speaker 1: homes going and my Homes gets rattled because he's looking
Speaker 1: for the guy in the opening before he goes. Mahomes
Speaker 1: really eyeballs his receivers way too much and if any
Speaker 1: defensive coordinating, I'm sure that's what they're catching up to
Speaker 1: right now. They're finally catching up to him that he does.
Speaker 1: He does not do well coming off of his first week.
Speaker 1: They had two hundred and ninety two yards in the
Speaker 1: first half, second half, Kansas City eighty three yards, eighty
Speaker 1: three looking for him. They're looking for him all day long.
Speaker 1: And what happens when they finally try to force it
Speaker 1: into him safety. Did you notice what they were doing
Speaker 1: with Kelsey in the second half, Okay, because that's the
Speaker 1: other thing. It's either Hill or Kelsey. His guys, it's
Speaker 1: probably Hill. First three, Kelsey saying yes, but yeah, you
Speaker 1: got Kelsey for fifty. But then I'm sorry, you got
Speaker 1: Hill for fifty, but Kelsey might go for fifteen. I'll
Speaker 1: take the fifteen. You see what I'm saying. And they
Speaker 1: did the same cup when he went in the slot,
Speaker 1: they gave him like a five seven yard release. It's like,
Speaker 1: what are you doing? You gotta get up on that
Speaker 1: one touchdown which was a great route on his part.
Speaker 1: So he gets on the safety right and how did
Speaker 1: they get on the safety re release for for like
Speaker 1: ten fifteen yards? Right? Yes? And then he cuts in
Speaker 1: and the cornerback for some reason, it's a thirteen. It
Speaker 1: was third and thirteen or second. And he's up on
Speaker 1: the short guy and he's supposed to follow underneath, right.
Speaker 1: I don't know how many picks I've gotten doing that. Yeah?
Speaker 1: And how about and how about Beckham in these playoffs?
Speaker 1: You know, and he's kind of he is in these
Speaker 1: playoffs for the Rams. He is what Antonio Brown was
Speaker 1: last year for Tampa Day. Yeah. I mean when you
Speaker 1: look at you know what his reputation is, it's all
Speaker 1: about me, me, me, and it's goods. Back to what
Speaker 1: you're talking about. In the playoffs, you got to be
Speaker 1: about team, team, team, you know. See. I think when
Speaker 1: those guys get with a good team, they defer right
Speaker 1: when they think they're with some scrubs there. I got
Speaker 1: to be the guy, right, But when he gets there,
Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, this cup guy's pretty good and the
Speaker 1: quarterback's not bad. And the right because you know what
Speaker 1: my mind and it's a short time frame too. It's
Speaker 1: only a month long. Yeah, but but maybe he was
Speaker 1: smart enough to realize, Yeah, maybe he was smart enough
Speaker 1: to realize, Okay, my my, my career right now is
Speaker 1: going a shoest He was there. If I screw up here,
Speaker 1: they are They are playing for money in the playoffs too, Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's not it's in comparison to what their salaries are.
Speaker 1: It doesn't compare. But if you go and win a
Speaker 1: super Bowl, that endorsement money is like that he had.
Speaker 1: He had playoff incentives. I didn't write it down, but
Speaker 1: he made a hell of a lot of money in incentives.
Speaker 1: I remember the poetry these over these three how many
Speaker 1: they played? Three games? Three games? He made a hell
Speaker 1: of a lot of money. Which is whether Abe could
Speaker 1: have done as well? Yeah, he would kept his clothes on, right,
Speaker 1: all right? We continue with more mix shots, and it
Speaker 1: was just a moment brace yourself for an existential question.
Speaker 1: Has your butt been having enough fun lately? Have you
Speaker 1: been treating it well? Has it been going places? If not,
Speaker 1: then it's about time you start using SeatGeek. SeatGeek is
Speaker 1: the best way to get your butt tickets to live events.

Speaker 1: where I left off before Okay, we move on. Odell
Speaker 1: Beckham Junior is heading to the super Bowl with the Rams.
Speaker 1: He earns seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars incentive for
Speaker 1: their win today. He's already collected two million in playoff
Speaker 1: win incentives this month, with another chance for a million
Speaker 1: more if they win the super Bowl. So he's getting
Speaker 1: three point seven five million dollars for this four game
Speaker 1: playoff run if they win the super Bowl and whatever
Speaker 1: the share is then, and then the share on top
Speaker 1: of it, and then endorsement deals on top of yes,
Speaker 1: and a new contract yeah, because he only signed a
Speaker 1: one year now. So there you go. He's a free agent.
Speaker 1: What a good time to be a free agent, all right?
Speaker 1: Unlike I don't know if I can say it, White, Takarski,
Speaker 1: tart Jakwaski char Charsty, I have him. He had drop interception.
Speaker 1: I thought of you when that happened the way, man,
Speaker 1: is a matter of fact. I went back and watched
Speaker 1: it and Joe Buck goes and the pass is intercept.
Speaker 1: Oh he dropped it. That was worse than Brown? Right right?
Speaker 1: Was it Worstan Brown? I mean, come on, man, that
Speaker 1: I mean he talked about just in the in your belly.
Speaker 1: That's that's you know what he did. He did that. Uh,
Speaker 1: what's the scissor hand thing? Yeah, yeah, yeah, he whiffed.
Speaker 1: He went like this, he whiffed. Yeah. I've seen Tony
Speaker 1: Dorsett do that trying to catch passes. We used to
Speaker 1: call him crazy hands because sometimes he was backing up
Speaker 1: like that. It looked like a punt. Punt. It was
Speaker 1: right in his breadbasket. I bet it left the sarce
Speaker 1: and it left, it left Matthew Stafford it. Let you know,
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford's arm is not what it used to be.
Speaker 1: I should have got you know, and I should have
Speaker 1: got a mix shot on that one. By the way,
Speaker 1: you know in the art sour good, don't even listen
Speaker 1: to me. He finally figured out, Yeah, you go look
Speaker 1: at what bills gotta says. You're missing good stuff. You know.
Speaker 1: The interesting thing on that dropped interception, what happened with
Speaker 1: San Francisco on the previous possession? All right, when San
Speaker 1: Francisco is on offense, they faced a fourth and two,
Speaker 1: and now Shanahan. Shanahan's getting second guest for not going
Speaker 1: for it at the like the Rams went for it
Speaker 1: and they were stopped short with the Stafford quarterback sneak
Speaker 1: okay and the forty nine ers stop him. Look like
Speaker 1: he made it, and uh, but he made it. I
Speaker 1: thought he was short. I thought it was yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: So they decided not to go for it. Okay, and
Speaker 1: they punted the ball away. Rams took over at the
Speaker 1: fifteen yard line and the first play Tart drops the interception.
Speaker 1: So had had Tart caught the ball, then they have
Speaker 1: the ball whatever yard line that with a first. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, let's say it's even at the forty five
Speaker 1: yard line. It was about it was pretty far down
Speaker 1: to field. It was. It was sold all the arm
Speaker 1: that Matthew had. So I have all this. I have
Speaker 1: no problem with Shanahan's decision not to go for it
Speaker 1: on fourth and two. It was early fourth quarter. Um,
Speaker 1: and you know, you pun them down and the defense
Speaker 1: made the play. I mean they had to play. It
Speaker 1: was San Francisco was up seventeen. Yeah, and they held
Speaker 1: him and they held him to a field goal. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it was seventeen. But if you, if you, if
Speaker 1: you go for it and you give them the ball
Speaker 1: at the fifty yard line right now, they ain't got
Speaker 1: to go far to get a touch, right, they had
Speaker 1: to go eighty five? Well, it was a what was
Speaker 1: the it was? They started their own fifteen and so
Speaker 1: twenty eight and thirty five they went sixty three yards
Speaker 1: to kick a field goal, right, whatever, But your defense
Speaker 1: on the first play after that decision, your defense was
Speaker 1: in position to make an easy play to get you
Speaker 1: the football back with nine and a half minutes left
Speaker 1: in the game. And now you have an opportunity to
Speaker 1: run clock and and you're in field goal range with
Speaker 1: that kicker that they have. At least you know so
Speaker 1: well you can see the weakness of their defense is
Speaker 1: the second day you know that straight. That's just the
Speaker 1: way it is. But still you have to have that
Speaker 1: kind of knowledge. We have a chance to make that
Speaker 1: kind of play. Oh man, you talk about being a hero.
Speaker 1: And then worse, after they kicked the field goal, they
Speaker 1: basically went three and out and they had a five
Speaker 1: yard penalty. And then that's when Jimmy G became Jimmy
Speaker 1: G too. And last play in the game, he passed
Speaker 1: the torch to Trey Lance. Yes he did. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: it was that or take a sack. Yeah, but it's
Speaker 1: not like it was. It wasn't like there was third down,
Speaker 1: so don't do that. Everything was like he was in
Speaker 1: the end zone. Either you got you gotta take that sack.
Speaker 1: And if it's fourth down, if it's fourth down, I
Speaker 1: understand that him. When I saw it, I thought it
Speaker 1: was fourth down. It was third And that's why you
Speaker 1: have to take care of it, you know. All Right,
Speaker 1: Cowboys made some news on Friday, they did. Jerry Jones
Speaker 1: spoke about that, and dan Quinn is back, and dan
Speaker 1: Quinn's back, Um, we'll see what happens with Kellen Moore.
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy's back, by the way, not sure that was. Look,
Speaker 1: I wrote about it, and it dawned on me that
Speaker 1: after the game. Was it Monday Tuesday when Stephen Jones
Speaker 1: did his radio segment and he was asked a question
Speaker 1: about Mike McCarthy. Will he that was the Monday after
Speaker 1: the Monday after the loss, right, and is Mike McCarthy
Speaker 1: going to be your head coach in twenty twenty two?
Speaker 1: And he said absolutely, lutely, absolutely totally confident, totally confident,
Speaker 1: very confident or what was it? Very confident, absolutely very confident,
Speaker 1: and everybody just dismissed it like he's some sort of
Speaker 1: well you know what happened under I know, I know,
Speaker 1: but but everybody forgot about it. Right. He is the coe, right,
Speaker 1: he is the guy that does the day right. He
Speaker 1: does the day to day stuff right. He doesn't normally
Speaker 1: speak out of turn, like say something off the cuff. Right,
Speaker 1: he knows what's going on. But that didn't matter when
Speaker 1: Jerry said nothing on when did Jerry do his Wednesday Friday?
Speaker 1: It was he went to Madden's memorial service the next day,
Speaker 1: so it was later in the week. It was Friday, right,
Speaker 1: and he never he never addressed And because he didn't
Speaker 1: address it, then that Matt he left Mike McCarthy twisting
Speaker 1: in the wind when he did address it with him,
Speaker 1: as he pointed out, right, how is McCarthy twisting in
Speaker 1: the wind? He was twisting in the wind only in
Speaker 1: the minds of the media and out there think that
Speaker 1: that Jerry was going to make a change behind the
Speaker 1: doors here there was probably probably no indication. Jerry pointed out,
Speaker 1: he was only twisting in the wind of you guys.
Speaker 1: And he didn't And he said, and I don't mean
Speaker 1: you guys. The guys on the fan, he goes, I
Speaker 1: meant the media, he said, because if you look at it.
Speaker 1: When Mike was asked about it, he said, Jerry and
Speaker 1: I talked and I'm I'm here, he said, he said
Speaker 1: what you didn't hear or didn't want to recognize it
Speaker 1: didn't come from Jerry. Right, This is not the first
Speaker 1: time Jerry played coy on something publicly. Right, and he
Speaker 1: does let Steven speak, Yeah, and Stephen said it. Stephen
Speaker 1: doesn't just say stuff to say stuff, right, and and
Speaker 1: so yeah, so he kind of tried to clear that up,
Speaker 1: and now everybody thinks he's lying. They still don't, you know,
Speaker 1: if you listen to talk radio or if you listen
Speaker 1: to read the column in the morning News. It was like, no,
Speaker 1: he's not telling you. If you listen to talk radio,
Speaker 1: then Das is all blamed on Sean Payton if you
Speaker 1: listen to talk radio, because that was a point in
Speaker 1: the interview where you know, I think he said something
Speaker 1: that left the door open to criticism for McCarthy or
Speaker 1: that he would be kind of waiting in the wings
Speaker 1: if things don't go well here in Dallas. So now
Speaker 1: everyone is thinking he didn't really say that. Everyone is
Speaker 1: thinking that this is going to be the hottest seat
Speaker 1: for a coach in the NFL. That point I do
Speaker 1: agree with. I have to agree with that point, because
Speaker 1: we really well disappointed ourselves this year. You know, well,
Speaker 1: I understand. I think there's a standard that that Jerry's
Speaker 1: gonna set between here and McCarthy that we have to
Speaker 1: get to this particular point as a team. And so
Speaker 1: now with Sean Payton sitting there, you know he'll be commentating,
Speaker 1: uh whatever he's gonna be doing. Everyone's thinking that he's
Speaker 1: just going to be keeping the seat warm for Sean Payton.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you when the season's over next year, if
Speaker 1: he's commentating and finds out that there's another life out
Speaker 1: there that I don't have to work seven days a
Speaker 1: week and I can make this amount of money and
Speaker 1: the don't have to move I don't have to move
Speaker 1: back twice as much as twice as much. Yeah, then
Speaker 1: why would I ever go back to h right that?
Speaker 1: But that that little caveat right there, that kind of
Speaker 1: gives people something to chew on. Yeah, I understand, and
Speaker 1: it will and it will, it will, it will. It
Speaker 1: won't go away. It will not understand that. But as
Speaker 1: Sean pointed out I heard later on some interview that
Speaker 1: he had never talked to Jerry, and Jerry had never
Speaker 1: talked to him. But everybody's lying, so um. But yeah,
Speaker 1: and so I know he went through this kind of
Speaker 1: long way around to say, well, yeah, I was just
Speaker 1: posturing because I wanted to make sure teams weren't thinking
Speaker 1: we didn't want dan Quinton right, And he said it
Speaker 1: all the time we had been in talks with him.
Speaker 1: He was hoping that the that if he said something
Speaker 1: the wrong thing, then the auntie would go up and
Speaker 1: they'll know fifty eight. No, that was Peyton. I want
Speaker 1: to say he was ten years old when Lawrence takes No.
Speaker 1: He told the story he was ten years old when
Speaker 1: Lawrence Taylor was drafted fifty one, because he put you'll
Speaker 1: ask what time it is, and Mickey, you'll tell you
Speaker 1: out and build the clock and I'll just tell you
Speaker 1: it's fifty eggs this morning. I was go ahead, takes
Speaker 1: ten minutes from a Sussex. So when was toast Tree?
Speaker 1: When was Lawrence Taylor drafted? Nineteen eighty two? One draft
Speaker 1: class guys, I was in class one, so was twenty two? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was probably twenty four. Yeah right, yeah, so he
Speaker 1: was drafted forty years ago. Yeah, and Dan said he
Speaker 1: was ten. So do the math thirty one fifty one
Speaker 1: y you would have listened to me instead of laughing,
Speaker 1: instead of looking it up Wikipedia is something. Yeah. In fact,
Speaker 1: Lawrence Taylor turned sixty three on Friday. Cool, So there
Speaker 1: you go. Same class as you. Yeah. I actually I
Speaker 1: was young for my class, and obviously so was LT.
Speaker 1: I really thought he well, he would have been thought
Speaker 1: he was a he would have been twenty two when
Speaker 1: he was drafted. Yeah, but Lauren in nineteen years old,
Speaker 1: and then you think he finished four years at North
Speaker 1: Carolina must have he must I did one of his games,
Speaker 1: must say I did one of his games for kg
Speaker 1: OU radio, the students station there J. C. Watson Oklahoma
Speaker 1: against c O U wow k G o U g
Speaker 1: e o U okag Ou Radio, and Lawrence Taylor and
Speaker 1: North Carolina tar Hills were unbeaten coming into Norman, Oklahoma,
Speaker 1: and they had they had a forty one to seven tattoo. Baby,
Speaker 1: that's right talking. Yeah, So I l who famous amos.
Speaker 1: Lawrence was a running back. By the way, Wow, did
Speaker 1: you did you see the trophy? Presentation Forcinnati. Oh, no,
Speaker 1: for Cincinnati. Ikey would that was him? Uber text number.
Speaker 1: I looked at that. I go, that can't be that.
Speaker 1: He came up to Burrow after the game on the
Speaker 1: field and when Burrow was threatening to do the Ikey
Speaker 1: shuffle there he had to be three hundred pounds. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's been there for a minute. Really, yeah, that's nothing new. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he didn't just get there. We talked about that where
Speaker 1: a lot of times the running backs in the in
Speaker 1: the cornerbacks or three hundred pounds, or the offensive linemen
Speaker 1: or one self that I saw what he hugged him
Speaker 1: and I said, whose father's that or something? I said,
Speaker 1: how did that guy get on the field? Then I
Speaker 1: saw him on the podium and I'm going, number thirty,
Speaker 1: that's gotta bey. Dicky Woods and myself we saw it.
Speaker 1: We had a Super Bowl appearance. It was right after
Speaker 1: I retired. Oh my goodness. I was in some truck
Speaker 1: stop casino in New Mexico and he was. He and
Speaker 1: I were there together and we watched the game and
Speaker 1: the screen was no bigger than this right here, yeah,
Speaker 1: no bigger than bad. And I thought, I said, man, Ikey,
Speaker 1: what are we doing here? Man, We just started laughing
Speaker 1: at each other. Yeah, Ikey's been looking like that for
Speaker 1: a minute. So it was playing. We was two thirty
Speaker 1: two seventy pounds. Yeah, most people gained seventy pounds. That
Speaker 1: we're good. We're good. With dan Quinn coming back, I'm okay.
Speaker 1: And Kellen Moore sounded like he Jerry felt like he
Speaker 1: was coming back. What he's playing coy on that one.
Speaker 1: He was on the way to Miami Yeah, um so yeah.
Speaker 1: And so the negative response out there, Oh, that's great,
Speaker 1: everybody's back and we'll just get beat again in the
Speaker 1: first Well, well, the one thing that you have to
Speaker 1: as you look at was going on this year, you
Speaker 1: can't do anything without an offensive line. That's right. I
Speaker 1: don't care how smart you are, I don't care how
Speaker 1: cute the players are, you know, I don't care what
Speaker 1: kind of misdirection you're looking at. You have got to
Speaker 1: have an offensive line that can stave off that off
Speaker 1: that defensive line so we can make it work. And
Speaker 1: you know, Mahomes that second half, they got after him
Speaker 1: with only a four man front. This seems to be
Speaker 1: the theme for most successful teams this year. So why
Speaker 1: didn't he put the team on his back, all that
Speaker 1: money he makes, and well he tried, he tried, and
Speaker 1: I'm telling you and that's why the times and it's
Speaker 1: not just a cowboy, but when you look at football,
Speaker 1: it's the teams that make the adjustments that are successful.
Speaker 1: He did all that scrambling around the first half, he
Speaker 1: did a little bit in the third quarter. After a while,
Speaker 1: that front four, Okay, we've seen all the moves you have, right,
Speaker 1: they got better and better at corralling him, and the
Speaker 1: second day stayed strong. So it wasn't that he was
Speaker 1: just running around to be cute. Those guys were covered
Speaker 1: back there and that old that defensive line were very
Speaker 1: strategic in how they approached his sex finally kind of
Speaker 1: surrounded him right at him, right, yeah, right, they they
Speaker 1: they they actually baited him into making certain moves, and
Speaker 1: the guys were waiting on him because because they came
Speaker 1: from the outside. And then he tried going up the
Speaker 1: middle these guys that's right there, that's what you know.
Speaker 1: He comes up inside and he goes out to this
Speaker 1: to the right or left, and then that's how he
Speaker 1: gets he does his mahomes things. And then he tried
Speaker 1: circling back, and it's like, that's when you know it
Speaker 1: was desperate when he tried to circle back again. That
Speaker 1: that that goes to show that he felt the pressure.
Speaker 1: And even when you look at where they messed up
Speaker 1: before the first half, that's all about pressure. He didn't
Speaker 1: just make a mistake on his own. They weren't just
Speaker 1: feeling the pressure just because they were down there and
Speaker 1: think they're trying to keep up with the betting line
Speaker 1: or something. Cincinnati was starting to put that pressure on
Speaker 1: them and they became frustrated. The play calling became limited
Speaker 1: because their frontline started to take away the options. All right,
Speaker 1: I've got to take off of last fifteen minutes. It's
Speaker 1: you two, Okay, I think we can do it. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Okay, I'm starting my run to the
Speaker 1: super Bowl. Uh this afternoon. What you're going to see
Speaker 1: on the CBS eleven for the next two weeks is
Speaker 1: any and everybody who has had any kind of relationship
Speaker 1: with any of the local players and the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: will be interviewed. Play. Yeah, that's right. By the way
Speaker 1: that you're going out there, I'm not going no, no,
Speaker 1: uh no, no, no, bye. By the way, Um, Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 1: I was texting with his high school coach at Highland Park. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Randy Allen, And I'll tweet it out here after I
Speaker 1: get done. But he was on the front row at
Speaker 1: so Far Stadium, right behind the Rams bench. Randy Allen
Speaker 1: was Stafford's high school coach, wearing a Matthew Stafford jersey,
Speaker 1: and so everybody Rams jersey ran number nine. And so
Speaker 1: I heard him say he was going yeah right, and
Speaker 1: uh so that was pretty cool that. Uh So, now
Speaker 1: I guess he's he's going to be back there in
Speaker 1: a week. Well just stayed right. Yeah, that's two weeks
Speaker 1: and uh and Stafford had four of his teammates off
Speaker 1: the Highland Park High School UH state championship team from
Speaker 1: two thousand and five. We were also at the game yesterday.
Speaker 1: So now when you're going to hook up with von Miller, Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: we've got a call in so yeah, I was trying
Speaker 1: to think who else. Yeah, by the way, I know
Speaker 1: some people on the on the Cincinnati team. To two
Speaker 1: people in Cincinnat team, they're from the Dallas area. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get back with you on that one. Bill. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and let's know about howem identity Hakim Identagy from Garland
Speaker 1: High School offensive lineman to Kansas. Yes, the one high school, right,
Speaker 1: that's right. Yeah, And in fact he one of the
Speaker 1: runs by mixing, the twenty three yard run by mixing
Speaker 1: in the first half. He got it. Uh, he got
Speaker 1: a shout out from Jim Natz and Hikeman Energy opening
Speaker 1: the U behole there. That's right. Yeah. Is his parents
Speaker 1: are very close to my sisters. Okay, yeah, there you
Speaker 1: go the whole thing people. Yea. Uh. And by the way, Everson, Um,
Speaker 1: we talked a little bit about an anniversary last week
Speaker 1: and we figured out what anniversary was actually, Uh, the
Speaker 1: date of our show last week was not. Oh we
Speaker 1: have in fact here it is Chris Beam has it
Speaker 1: for us right now. Chris forty seven yard dry by
Speaker 1: Scott normand to try to win the game right now,
Speaker 1: will pick him from the right. That's four of the bills.
Speaker 1: Norwood as he was white. Is a ship stapard We
Speaker 1: wait it is it is four second clap the Giants
Speaker 1: have one. I mean, just to think of that. Twenty
Speaker 1: to nineteen the Giants lead the game. How far was
Speaker 1: that field goal at him? Forty one forty one yard
Speaker 1: field goal of him. And you see all these kickers
Speaker 1: making all these kicks in these playoffs. Now and you
Speaker 1: go back Cincinnati, you go back. Guy still hasn't miss.
Speaker 1: That's right. Yeah. Well, one thing about Norwood we knew
Speaker 1: about him. He doesn't do well. He didn't kick well
Speaker 1: on on natural glass. You know he's up in Buffalo
Speaker 1: and this was this was at the s Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I know a friend of mine, Thorne Channel, he
Speaker 1: doubled his bed down when he saw Norwood. He did.
Speaker 1: He said, when that guy is pale, he does not
Speaker 1: look right, he does not look right. I'm doubling down.
Speaker 1: He was. By the way, Ron Springs predicted the score,
Speaker 1: I don't know how really, twenty to nineteen strange score
Speaker 1: to predict predicted the score. I was. I was pale too,
Speaker 1: because I was right on deadline and I couldn't go
Speaker 1: down like for a interview. I had to wait. And
Speaker 1: it was an open air press box, and I was
Speaker 1: my head was out the window looking to see if
Speaker 1: it was good or not so I can finish my Yeah,
Speaker 1: I should have said right. It was a local sportscaster
Speaker 1: who was pale too. I won't mention him by name,
Speaker 1: but he had done because if the satellite difficulties, he
Speaker 1: had to tape the open for a sports cast that night.
Speaker 1: And he so he did two versions of it. One
Speaker 1: of it the Giants win, the other one the Bills win.
Speaker 1: For the first time ever, the Bills won a Super
Speaker 1: Bowl on the station they ran the wrong one. No, no,
Speaker 1: I won't say who it was a personal knowledge of it.
Speaker 1: So that was thirty years ago or whatever. The same
Speaker 1: same guy that didn't put the tie on the preseason game.
Speaker 1: It was the game in London where the Cowboys played
Speaker 1: the I was, no, there was was the ninety three
Speaker 1: or three game, and it was so so because of
Speaker 1: satellite technology back then, you had to tape everything and
Speaker 1: send it back. And so he sends one version with
Speaker 1: the Cowboys winning the playoff game and another one with
Speaker 1: the Bills that the Cowboys Broncos. Was the preseason game.
Speaker 1: It was a preseason game, yeah, in London. And and
Speaker 1: the other youth in a version with the other team
Speaker 1: would well they gave it it at a tie. Does
Speaker 1: he rained the whole game? Yeah? So he was visiting
Speaker 1: Big Ben anyway, All right, Rob Bill, you were supposed
Speaker 1: to leave five minutes, I was. Yeah, So I gotta
Speaker 1: get going, So mix shots continues. In a moment before

Speaker 1: more as we continue here on mix shots on this Monday,
Speaker 1: the day after the NFL Championship games won by Cincinnati
Speaker 1: and the Rams, and that will be the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: I didn't think they would be as exciting as last week.
Speaker 1: So if I remember you took Kansas, I took Casey
Speaker 1: in the RAM and the Ram that's what I took Bill,
Speaker 1: and I took Casey and missed out all the way.
Speaker 1: I know he missed both, right, yeah, you know. I
Speaker 1: just and even though it was still close, I just
Speaker 1: didn't think that this is the narrat This would have
Speaker 1: been the narrative. I'm at home, new stadium, you come in,
Speaker 1: you beat me twice and keep me from hosting my
Speaker 1: own super Bowl, and actually six times in a row,
Speaker 1: six in a row, so now that would have been
Speaker 1: pretty bad. And you use all your draft picks, right,
Speaker 1: went all in, right, went all in. So I just
Speaker 1: didn't think Aaron Donald was going to let that happen.
Speaker 1: And I know they double teamed the heck out him
Speaker 1: a lot, but he finally got there the second half,
Speaker 1: right or the fourth quarter, he started giving them problems. Uh.
Speaker 1: I just kind of like the fact that they gave
Speaker 1: him as much exposure. I mean, you know, we we
Speaker 1: we fall into this pattern. Count I told him uther day,
Speaker 1: I don't even know what what what was one of
Speaker 1: the one of the wide receivers. I couldn't even I
Speaker 1: don't even know what he looks like, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, because they never find them with their helmets off.
Speaker 1: But but to see Aaron Donald, they called his emotions
Speaker 1: and for him to to end it with that climax
Speaker 1: up that was pretty timing, pretty cool. So the Van Jefferson,
Speaker 1: hmm he was he would be their other wide receiver. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Now he didn't play. Did he play yesterday? Oh yeah?
Speaker 1: He was the one that he was thrown to when
Speaker 1: the ball was intercept much at all, I know, I
Speaker 1: guess that's what happened when he got back a man cup.
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, was that his only target.
Speaker 1: He got five targets, two catches for nine yards. Wow,
Speaker 1: when you when you drew up at three thirty seven,
Speaker 1: it's kind easy to forget that. And they had lost
Speaker 1: their tight end too, by the way. He went out
Speaker 1: early right and coming Laddin came on and caught five plass.
Speaker 1: It did didn't he clutch plasses too, keeping the chains moving.
Speaker 1: And see, so when you look at our epic failure
Speaker 1: as cowboys, you know you can talk yourself into it
Speaker 1: not being so epic, you know, he said, Okay, well,
Speaker 1: when it's all saying done, we actually did pretty good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but the disappointment is we know we are better. That's
Speaker 1: the disappointment because we've seen it shown and we've we've
Speaker 1: seen the inconsistencies. So when we play well, we know
Speaker 1: that that could have been us yesterday. Yeah, that's so
Speaker 1: disappointing because to me, once again, I thought this was
Speaker 1: our chance and you never know if you had one
Speaker 1: more play, here we go, one more play, one more play.
Speaker 1: Still say, you know, I hate trying to hang our
Speaker 1: hats on. I still wouldn't call it. Hell man, what
Speaker 1: are you allowed? Were on? They were at the twenty four,
Speaker 1: not to him marry at all. But you can run
Speaker 1: a pattern. You can still run a pad, or you
Speaker 1: can run as as I think Mike pointed out, you could.
Speaker 1: You can run five verticals you have to you don't
Speaker 1: have to run a hill Marry, and that's what they
Speaker 1: were waiting on everyone. You know, I heard somebody point
Speaker 1: this out that um I might have been aikman on
Speaker 1: a radio thing and he said, actually, he goes. You know,
Speaker 1: that would have been with the way the forty nine
Speaker 1: ers were protecting the sideline, you know, when Dak ran.
Speaker 1: He said, that might have been the best time to
Speaker 1: run a hill, Mary because they only had maybe three
Speaker 1: four guys in the end zone instead of the whole team. Right,
Speaker 1: and you throw it up and once again I could
Speaker 1: see cde Lamb right, he can jump higher than anybody
Speaker 1: out there. Which, by the way, I just heard he's
Speaker 1: a replacement for the program. Saw that. Yeah, good for him.
Speaker 1: Well what did they do in the pro bo these days? Well,
Speaker 1: do they have a game? They do a skills thing
Speaker 1: now see, but that's not a game. But they do
Speaker 1: have a game. They do have a game. What do
Speaker 1: they do They play flag football? Or they might as well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because man, I'm telling you, and once again we know
Speaker 1: why it's dropped in significance because they just don't pay
Speaker 1: you enough money to potentially gets right. Right. And back
Speaker 1: then though my rookie year, man, we were out there
Speaker 1: playing so hard. I tried to take on Chuck Munsey.
Speaker 1: That's two hundred fifty pounds and it was so funny.
Speaker 1: It was a great play. But you know, Check wasn't trying, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I was. Because Chuck was twenty seven. I was
Speaker 1: twenty one. Now I don't know if they still do it,
Speaker 1: but they didn't change it that the winning team got
Speaker 1: significantly more money for being there, for winning. That's that.
Speaker 1: But that doesn't happen until the co what it used
Speaker 1: to be, right, because I think we got like ten
Speaker 1: and five. Yeah, no, it's more than that. And if
Speaker 1: you win, so those last five minutes of the game,
Speaker 1: if it's close, right, oh man, we were going at it.
Speaker 1: I hit him so well. I thought I hit him hard.
Speaker 1: He I hit him with all I had I had
Speaker 1: snocked come down my nose trying to hit him. That's
Speaker 1: just how hard I tried to hit him. And he
Speaker 1: was like, what are you doing? You know, he didn't
Speaker 1: even move, he just went out of bounds. And I
Speaker 1: was like, I thought I really made a player. He
Speaker 1: got the way He's like, what are you doing, young fellow.
Speaker 1: So even the attitude was there right for the older
Speaker 1: guys at that time, but it wasn't nearly as lack
Speaker 1: of day as glad as it is. Well if nothing else.
Speaker 1: I don't know how, I don't remember what they get paid.
Speaker 1: But it's a trip to Vegas, so see, and it
Speaker 1: ain't a trip to Hawaii. Well I guess, well it's close, bro,
Speaker 1: this man, come on Hawaiian. Well there's no water. There'll
Speaker 1: be water places you can go out to the outside
Speaker 1: of the casino where they got a boat out there
Speaker 1: or something. But oh, it ain't the same man, Hawaii.
Speaker 1: It's just so much better. Yeah. So these young kids
Speaker 1: like Vegas though, yeah, they do, they do, and they
Speaker 1: don't have to travel as far quiz and they don't
Speaker 1: know about Hawaii agains, they don't, but they missed it. Right,
Speaker 1: it's fun, so much fun, all right. We were able
Speaker 1: to get to twelve thirty. Twelve thirty, all right, Well
Speaker 1: that's it for Mick shots on this Monday. When we
Speaker 1: coming back week from Thursday, week from this Thursday, at
Speaker 1: eleven thirty, right, I started questioning myself did I get eleven?
Speaker 1: I did not want to be wrong, because you enough,
