Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
Speaker 2: Cowboys.
Speaker 1: This is Mick shot streaming live on Dallascowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the official Dallas Cowboys have now Here are Bill Jones,
Speaker 1: Savannah Humuller, Everson Wolves, and Mickey Spagnola.
Speaker 3: And it's a rainy mix shots Monday, but we are
Speaker 3: dry here in the SWBC podcast studio.
Speaker 4: Savannah Humuller here, Everson Walls, and Mickey Spagnola.
Speaker 5: Missing.
Speaker 2: Why somebody's missing?
Speaker 3: Bill is absent today? M I A apparently in Fort Worth.
Speaker 5: Perhaps he can't figure out the time?
Speaker 2: Am I missing? Idiot? What do we talk about?
Speaker 5: You want to say what you said? At least? What
Speaker 5: was your response?
Speaker 2: At least it wasn't the black guy?
Speaker 5: And I said, at least it wasn't the old guy.
Speaker 6: Right, But to be fair, we knew Savannah would be.
Speaker 2: Here, Oh damn right.
Speaker 3: But to be fair, the person m I A last week?
Speaker 5: Was you right?
Speaker 2: That's right? Man? But and not only that, I remember
Speaker 2: Bill ridiculing me once I came in when there wasn't
Speaker 2: a chess last year, and he looked at me like,
Speaker 2: what are you doing here with those smug look on
Speaker 2: his face. So now you jerk. Now it's on you. Bill.
Speaker 2: We got you, buddy, We got your back, though, we
Speaker 2: got your back.
Speaker 5: Well, so.
Speaker 6: Do we need to uh get your take since we
Speaker 6: didn't get your take after the game?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 2: Man? Yeah last week? I man, it was kind of
Speaker 2: I wouldn't call it depressing, but it was like again,
Speaker 2: you know, it's the same kind of feeling to what
Speaker 2: you can't get any lower, you know. And when I
Speaker 2: say that, I mean every time it comes to the playoffs,
Speaker 2: it's the same narrative from the pundits, and unfortunately, every
Speaker 2: time it comes to playoffs, we as a team, we
Speaker 2: played down to that narrative and certain things that were
Speaker 2: said after the game. I was hoping you guys had
Speaker 2: some other quotes that maybe I missed because I didn't
Speaker 2: feel like watching the press conference of just okay. Here
Speaker 2: it goes to the guys, you know, saying, oh, I
Speaker 2: should have done better. But Dak said the game was
Speaker 2: moving too fast for him.
Speaker 5: No, he said he was moving too fast.
Speaker 2: Ah, he was too fast. Yeah, I'm so glad I
Speaker 2: heard that wrong because fast.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, he said he was playing too fast, like
Speaker 6: trying to do things gowing.
Speaker 2: Too hard, too soon.
Speaker 6: Too soon, yes, and not letting things kind of play out.
Speaker 2: And you asked for my comments. I have more question,
Speaker 2: one question, and I don't know if you guys addressed it.
Speaker 2: I was doing a webinar, so I didn't mean to
Speaker 2: just blow your guys off like that, and I apologized,
Speaker 2: But that was I did good work that day. But
Speaker 2: what the heck was going on between Diggs and Dak?
Speaker 2: Did you Was it just me or did you we
Speaker 2: Was there some type of animosity going on? Yes, that's
Speaker 2: what I'm so sorry. I met C Yeah, yeah, was there?
Speaker 2: What did you did they talk about that after the game?
Speaker 2: Has there been any type of scuttle bug? I guess
Speaker 2: the old school word about what the heck happened and
Speaker 2: why they seemed to all of a sudden disconnect And
Speaker 2: I don't mean just disconnect on the field. They couldn't
Speaker 2: even they seemed like they didn't even want to talk
Speaker 2: to get to each other on the sidelines, and it
Speaker 2: got to be the topic, especially of that first half,
Speaker 2: like what happened to their connection? Did they address it
Speaker 2: or have you got Did you guys address it after
Speaker 2: the show? On the show?
Speaker 5: Not really.
Speaker 2: You know, I think after the first let me let
Speaker 2: me let me clarify. After the first I think third down.
Speaker 2: I think it was the first third down and Dak
Speaker 2: had him over the middle wide open. He threw it
Speaker 2: too far, and maybe that's what he means, he was
Speaker 2: going too fast, because that's clearly an example of that.
Speaker 2: It seems as if from that moment on they couldn't communicate,
Speaker 2: and I was wondering if there was some type of
Speaker 2: and the Master going on at the time. Case in point,
Speaker 2: you see Lamar yesterday, he tried to throw the ball
Speaker 2: to one of his wide receivers, and you know, he's
Speaker 2: telling him something from Afar, and then he actually runs
Speaker 2: to them. He doesn't go to the huddle. He comes
Speaker 2: to his wide receiver and they talk about it right,
Speaker 2: and they're on. They never had another miscommunication, and it
Speaker 2: seemed like they were more mature in how they handled
Speaker 2: it versus it seemed as if Dak was in CD's
Speaker 2: ear and CD didn't seem like he was trying to
Speaker 2: hear it at all. Now that's just what I interpreted
Speaker 2: from watching it at home. I was just wondering if
Speaker 2: that was addressed at all in the media.
Speaker 6: I thought if there was a disconnect that the packers
Speaker 6: did a very good job of how they were covering
Speaker 6: a lot.
Speaker 5: Of double a lot of zone. I know, I know.
Speaker 6: And and he was off on a couple passes.
Speaker 5: You remember the one that CD kind of jumped on
Speaker 5: the sidelines.
Speaker 2: That's when he rolled out and high in his side.
Speaker 2: But he makes right now. The one I blamed that
Speaker 2: clearly is it was the slant across the middle right
Speaker 2: that could have been a really big play.
Speaker 5: He blew that one and he misread it.
Speaker 2: Yes, uh, yes, and.
Speaker 6: Give the safety credit because he came off of you're
Speaker 6: talking about the savage interception.
Speaker 2: I'm talking about it. I know, I'm talking about the
Speaker 2: first third down that we had and he uh, he
Speaker 2: threw it too far inside. That would have been a
Speaker 2: big play, I thought, because everyone else seemed to be separated.
Speaker 2: I thought he had maneuver building to run down the
Speaker 2: middle if he catches that, which Dak should have put
Speaker 2: it in there, and he did not.
Speaker 5: He missed it.
Speaker 6: And I'm like, you know, uh, And sometimes sometimes I'm
Speaker 6: not saying all the times, but with what I've seen
Speaker 6: in playoff games is quarterbacks you sort of need to
Speaker 6: get them a couple easy throw that.
Speaker 2: Was easy, Yeah, because was the other one easy.
Speaker 6: They're so hyped up that they're throwing the ball high
Speaker 6: or there, or they're not thrown accurately.
Speaker 2: And that the one that where he rolled out the
Speaker 2: half roll, that was an easy pass as well. Seems
Speaker 2: like they were trying to get it going. I thought
Speaker 2: Seedie could have had it, but you know his playoffs.
Speaker 2: You gotta make that catch. But also why make it
Speaker 2: so difficult. He's right there as a quarter I of
Speaker 2: course you know where I'm headed with this man. I
Speaker 2: thought our defense was just such a letdown in that game.
Speaker 2: I don't think they came to play at one moment
Speaker 2: during the game. And you talked about having to get
Speaker 2: your quarterback on track all quarterbacks, not all, but most,
Speaker 2: you're gonna need give me some time, guys. I hold
Speaker 2: things off for me till I'm ready. You know you
Speaker 2: should be ready, but there are times when you're not. Playoffs,
Speaker 2: I get it a little nervous, don't playing too fast
Speaker 2: like you said, And all of a sudden, hey, guys,
Speaker 2: just stop them. I'll be okay. Just stop them, I'll
Speaker 2: be okay. Just stop them. I'll be okay, And stop
Speaker 2: a damn thing. And now the pressure is building and
Speaker 2: the frustration is building, not just on the defensive side
Speaker 2: because it can't stop anyone, but offensively hold them off. Guys,
Speaker 2: we're ready to get some things going. And now our
Speaker 2: game plan once again, I told you, our defense plays
Speaker 2: off of our offense, and there are times when your
Speaker 2: defense has to take the rains, and you know, we're
Speaker 2: going back to the same old thing. You can't take
Speaker 2: the rain, So maybe one if you're giving up gas,
Speaker 2: you're getting gashed time in and time out, whether it's
Speaker 2: passing or running. So man, it was ugly. It was
Speaker 2: just straight up ugly.
Speaker 6: The first thing that occurred to me in the Packer
Speaker 6: forty nine Ers game was Love had more incompletions in
Speaker 6: the quarter than he had in the entire game against
Speaker 6: the Cowboys.
Speaker 5: So the other thing I was gonna ask you, and.
Speaker 6: I didn't mean to interrupt the fact that they played
Speaker 6: so much zone and they didn't know how to do it.
Speaker 6: To me, they were trying to cover for Gilmore or
Speaker 6: not being totally healthy, and said, Okay, we can't get
Speaker 6: him in man coverage the whole game.
Speaker 5: We're going to have to do something different.
Speaker 6: And I thought that became a big factor because they
Speaker 6: didn't play that much zone during the season to me,
Speaker 6: and they.
Speaker 5: Didn't know how to play it. There was more busted coverage.
Speaker 6: I'd never seen wide receivers tight end so open in
Speaker 6: my entire life, and to the point where Musgrave had
Speaker 6: to stand there still with his back to the end
Speaker 6: zone to catch the ball. It's crazy that he was
Speaker 6: so wide open touchdown.
Speaker 2: It's crazy. I have never seen a collapse. And you know,
Speaker 2: there are times when I say most of the time
Speaker 2: I like the players to have accountability. That's just you know,
Speaker 2: come on, man. Coaches are one thing, but if you're
Speaker 2: out there playing, coaches can't come play for you. And
Speaker 2: I don't know, it just seems like this particular time
Speaker 2: they were not prepared properly. As much as I love Quinn,
Speaker 2: that was the worst preparation I've that might have to
Speaker 2: go back to when I played. It was the worst
Speaker 2: preparation I've seen defensively. And it wasn't just that they
Speaker 2: weren't prepared. This is a team that has talent. This
Speaker 2: is the defense it has talent. You showed that the
Speaker 2: way they showed that. You can't have a game plan
Speaker 2: and expect talented players to pull it out of you. You
Speaker 2: understand what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: We were a top five defense, and.
Speaker 2: We did not look like it. I mean wide open.
Speaker 2: So we didn't stop them on the wide open passes,
Speaker 2: but they gashed us on the run. So you're playing
Speaker 2: zone not just for Gilmore, but you're playing zone for
Speaker 2: the run. I'm assuming you have to play zone for
Speaker 2: the run. So either you worry about Gilmore, you worry
Speaker 2: about the run. You can't worry about both. And what
Speaker 2: we ended up doing was giving up the run over
Speaker 2: and over again. And once they started running running, of course,
Speaker 2: the play action is going to be wide open. He
Speaker 2: didn't have to study, he didn't have to really concentrate
Speaker 2: on one pass play. Everyone was wide open almost all
Speaker 2: the time. His footwork was horrible. Talking about Jordan Love,
Speaker 2: it was horrible. But he didn't need to be good.
Speaker 2: He was always just throwing off his back for hey, guys,
Speaker 2: go get that for me. You know you got time.
Speaker 2: Don't worry. They're not within ten yards of you. And
Speaker 2: that's the way they played. It was like they were
Speaker 2: they were they were literally playing with their food.
Speaker 6: Well, the one thing that we harped on especially trying
Speaker 6: to stop the run. You're stopping the run with one linebacker.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's not working.
Speaker 2: And it has not worked all year. So why did
Speaker 2: we not? You know it doesn't. Why are we doing
Speaker 2: the same thing over again? That's insanity, right, that's insanity,
Speaker 2: that's what they say. And it was driving me crazy
Speaker 2: doing watching the game. So I'm trying to figure out
Speaker 2: where did we go from here? Systematically or systemically whatever
Speaker 2: the word is, Where did we go from here? We
Speaker 2: can't go into next year with the same defensive game
Speaker 2: plan of hey, we don't have any linebackers. I'm looking
Speaker 2: at the forty nine ers. I saw three big dudes
Speaker 2: lined up back there behind those defensive lines.
Speaker 5: Pretty obvious.
Speaker 3: It was obvious.
Speaker 2: So how what where? Come on? Come on, what's our
Speaker 2: draft guy name? Well, will come on, man, give me
Speaker 2: some dudes. Well, give me some big dudes.
Speaker 5: That's gotta be one thing.
Speaker 2: They linebacker in the first round and the second round.
Speaker 2: Come on, man, I'm just sorry.
Speaker 6: And the thing that we hit on the two rushing touchdowns,
Speaker 6: they gave up one yard and three, well they gave
Speaker 6: up three. But you're in goal to go situations and
Speaker 6: you're playing with six technically six defensive backs, and it
Speaker 6: just didn't work.
Speaker 2: Did we expect it to?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 2: So? And see, this is the thing we knew. We
Speaker 2: always know we're gonna get gashed, but our offense is
Speaker 2: gonna save us. Right, Let's not play off football, bro,
Speaker 2: Let's not play off football. That's not play off football.
Speaker 2: That's good for the season, but playoff football is different.
Speaker 2: And how many times have we learned that already, especially
Speaker 2: the past three years or so, And so it was
Speaker 2: just kind of frustrating to sit there and watch the
Speaker 2: tail wagging the dog for us, we seem to let
Speaker 2: what everyone says about us. We played down to it.
Speaker 2: And you know, of course the Washington game meant nothing.
Speaker 2: But when you come in with the same spirit that
Speaker 2: you had in Detroit against Detroit, you know, the good games,
Speaker 2: even you lost to Miami, we fought. You know, we
Speaker 2: were competent. The best thing about this game. Usually when
Speaker 2: we lose games like this, we don't even get ten points.
Speaker 2: We just like we're done. We don't need would discompopulate
Speaker 2: the entire game. The only thing about this game was
Speaker 2: we came back and scored thirty two points. That's the
Speaker 2: only thing. Somehow some way, somehow, some way, And I
Speaker 2: think that's because they put in second and third team
Speaker 2: is maybe.
Speaker 6: Yeah, not until the last maybe the last touchdown.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 6: But so our bottom line was from the defense, they
Speaker 6: came up two players too short, they ran out of linebackers.
Speaker 6: You needed another linebacker, and well at least one in
Speaker 6: this game, right, yes, And then you came up a
Speaker 6: cornerback short because you played Gilmore basically with one arm
Speaker 6: behind his back, and you didn't want to put Nashwan
Speaker 6: right out there for the entire game. Who would have
Speaker 6: been the next corner up to take his place pass?
Speaker 2: I'm asking for real, not to Yeah, I'm asking for real.
Speaker 2: Do we give him a pass because he didn't have
Speaker 2: the personnel?
Speaker 6: I think they tried to fake it, and you can't, can't, can't.
Speaker 4: And with this, I mean with Marquis bell into Moone Clark,
Speaker 4: who granted have done a great job filling some of
Speaker 4: those roles we had discussed last week that had we
Speaker 4: maybe looked at the Arizona Cardinals game, or even when
Speaker 4: we were playing San Francisco or when we lost Leighton
Speaker 4: vander ash maybe bringing in a few other people aside
Speaker 4: from I know, we brought in Rashaun Evans, extra.
Speaker 2: Defensive line, extra defensive lineman maybe.
Speaker 4: But yeah, to fill a couple more gaps where we
Speaker 4: were missing some serious.
Speaker 3: Type of type of guys.
Speaker 2: Out there, physical linebacker type of guys.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think we were just we were just one.
Speaker 2: We were just wanted to Well.
Speaker 5: That was the That was the game where the Digs
Speaker 5: injury hurt.
Speaker 6: They had covered themselves from a personnel standpoint because they
Speaker 6: didn't have any other injuries r once they got Jordan
Speaker 6: Lewis back, they had those three guys for all basically
Speaker 6: almost every down, unlike what Washington did. Because I was
Speaker 6: talking to you, I guess you weren't here. I was
Speaker 6: talking to Nashan Wright when when he had to go
Speaker 6: in for Gilmore that one play against Washington, and.
Speaker 2: We thought they were going to come his way. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: we talked about that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we did, because he said, well, Miami, did they
Speaker 6: put Hill over there and threw right at me?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 5: I said, nothing against you?
Speaker 6: He goes no, he goes on, you know, And so
Speaker 6: I think they were hesitant to put him out there
Speaker 6: and just start him at the cornerback spot, so that
Speaker 6: that spot they tried to fake it and it didn't work.
Speaker 6: Playing zone and the fact that they just ran out
Speaker 6: of linebackers.
Speaker 2: You know, if I was a gambling man, I'd be
Speaker 2: so upset because I would want to hear from someone
Speaker 2: in the organization to tell me, hey, dan Quinn's got
Speaker 2: a problem tomorrow, okay for this game. Dan Quinn's gonna
Speaker 2: have a problem for this game because he is just
Speaker 2: sorely overmatched physically, and it just seems as if he
Speaker 2: was flipping a coin, you know, and whatever defense he
Speaker 2: was calling, it just didn't matter, you know, whatever it
Speaker 2: heads to, it doesn't matter where it lands. We're just
Speaker 2: rolling dice, you know, trying to figure out what we're
Speaker 2: gonna run. And that just doesn't seem like a championship
Speaker 2: team's approach to the playoffs, especially a twelve win team.
Speaker 2: I'm just extremely surprised that you had to put that
Speaker 2: kind of game plan out there with that type of personnel.
Speaker 2: You got to do something different, and you knew, damn
Speaker 2: well it was I think he knew it wasn't gonna work.
Speaker 2: I don't know what that feels like to go into
Speaker 2: a game as a coach with this person only going
Speaker 2: we're gonna get gassed. And I know that's what he
Speaker 2: was thinking. You can only hope that something works out,
Speaker 2: but he knew he had to know going into that
Speaker 2: booth up there that this was not gonna work.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And there was too many plays where you're playing
Speaker 6: and God blessed Marquis Bell because I thought he did
Speaker 6: as well as you could do at his size playing linebackers.
Speaker 6: But there were too many plays where d'mon Clark is
Speaker 6: out there and you're trying to stop the run when
Speaker 6: they go to tight ends with j Ron Curse and
Speaker 6: Bell playing linebacker spots in safety bodies.
Speaker 3: And you can make sense.
Speaker 2: So you gotta think, do you finally just put pass
Speaker 2: back at linebacker?
Speaker 6: Now?
Speaker 5: They did it a few plays. I thought they should.
Speaker 2: It made well, So use your lineman, you know, even
Speaker 2: if you have to go five d linemen with Parsons
Speaker 2: in the back back there with DeMont Clark. To me,
Speaker 2: that would have been better than just rolling the dice
Speaker 2: with sixty b's. It was just so futile and it
Speaker 2: made no sense to me. It was extremely frustrating, and
Speaker 2: you could it just takes the air out of the stadium.
Speaker 2: And I'm pretty sure offensively all they felt, not just
Speaker 2: Dak but all they felt offensively. Guys, we gotta score,
Speaker 2: We gotta make this play every play. Of course, playoffs
Speaker 2: is like that all the time. But there was no cushion.
Speaker 2: The Packers left them no cushion at all to play with.
Speaker 2: And it was to me it was foreseeable. It was
Speaker 2: foreseeable as from not just Quinn's point of view, but
Speaker 2: I know McCarthy knew that as well. And so do
Speaker 2: you adjust on how you make the play calls on offense?
Speaker 2: Are you more sturdy or are you going for bigger plays?
Speaker 2: It seems like we chose to just take that slow route,
Speaker 2: that methodical route, and Green Bay wouldn't make wasn't waiting
Speaker 2: on anything methodical. They weren't waiting on that. They set
Speaker 2: us up with the run. And the most disappointing part,
Speaker 2: even more than the run, is wide receivers and tight
Speaker 2: ends being wide open, you still have to play the defense.
Speaker 2: And I know that Dan Quinn did not teach him
Speaker 2: to play that pass defense the way they did. Guys
Speaker 2: were wide open because of mental mistakes, that was not
Speaker 2: because of the system.
Speaker 6: And then the worst part, I know, we got to
Speaker 6: hit a break here. They didn't have one sack, not
Speaker 6: one sack. Now you could say, okay, they took Parsons
Speaker 6: out of the game. Well what about everybody else, right, right, right?
Speaker 5: Not a sack?
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that was Barston's only had fourteen sacks this
Speaker 2: Year's a lot of other guys out there that had
Speaker 2: some sacks that didn't get any Yeah. Yeah, and that.
Speaker 5: When you watched yesterday.
Speaker 6: And we'll get into yesterday next but yeah, you could
Speaker 6: take us to break all right.
Speaker 4: When we come back, we will go over some of
Speaker 4: our NFL games that were on this weekend. And how
Speaker 4: about Mike McCarthy being the fifth season for the Cowboys.
Speaker 6: That happened after we already did our So yeah, Mike
Speaker 6: back with war in a minute.
Speaker 8: I'm Dak Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 5: And they snapped the press guy who looks right, it's
Speaker 5: not there. He escaped slaft. He'll look punks down.
Speaker 2: Just like football.

Speaker 4: Okay, post Roofing and Waterproofing the official roofer of the
Speaker 4: Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 3: We are searching for some information here.
Speaker 4: Ever, since had just told us that zach Ertz was
Speaker 4: just signed, and I mentioned the practice squad for the Lions,
Speaker 4: so we're just confirming I'm just talking Kincaid.
Speaker 2: But that was Buffalo, so okay, yeah, okay, okay, okay. Well,
Speaker 2: well someone must have gotten hurt in the Indian.
Speaker 6: Troyid Well practice squad, so maybe they were covering themselves.
Speaker 6: But yes, as Savannah pointed out when we were in
Speaker 6: the break, we haven't had a show since they announced
Speaker 6: that Mike McCarthy would be coming back for his fifth season.
Speaker 5: Your thoughts on that.
Speaker 2: You know, I understand what Jerry's trying to do. I
Speaker 2: think he wants to keep some type of continuity because
Speaker 2: of our regular season. But I still think changes need
Speaker 2: to be made in certain areas. I had guys and
Speaker 2: former players were saying, you know, just to make things.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I thought it was a waste of time,
Speaker 2: but to try and just light a fire under some
Speaker 2: of your starters, you know, make things a little bit
Speaker 2: more contentious in training camp coming up. You know, no
Speaker 2: one's got a job type of thing, you know, let
Speaker 2: them know they got to work for everything. Give Trey
Speaker 2: Lance a chance to to see what he can do
Speaker 2: with our offense. But that would be kind of silly
Speaker 2: to me because you're looking at the guy that just
Speaker 2: thirty six touchdowns and you're saying, okay, well we need
Speaker 2: to change, make a change. I just can't see that.
Speaker 2: You got guy to win twelve games three years in
Speaker 2: a row, but then you're gonna fire him. You know,
Speaker 2: it's just kind of hard to put your finger on that.
Speaker 2: But just as hard as it is to put your
Speaker 2: finger on why these elevated stats are so good, but
Speaker 2: yet we play down to our competition during the playoffs.
Speaker 2: So I don't like calling for anyone publicly to be fired,
Speaker 2: but we just got to defensively, We've got to have
Speaker 2: a different attitude. I'm looking at Lamar Jackson. He's got
Speaker 2: plenty all the time in the world to make up
Speaker 2: his mind. You know, if he messes up on one series,
Speaker 2: defense is gonna take care of it. We'll be okay.
Speaker 2: You look at Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. They held
Speaker 2: on with Josh Allen, you know, doing okay, but they
Speaker 2: they made Josh Allen play minimum football and gave Patrick
Speaker 2: Mahomes a chance to win the game. So you could
Speaker 2: pick any starting team, except for maybe the Detroit game.
Speaker 2: Any team that won their defense predicated what happens offensively.
Speaker 2: They gave their offense a chance to recover, to regroup,
Speaker 2: to you know, sit back and you know, assess what
Speaker 2: happened previously. You can't do that when they got when
Speaker 2: it's twenty take.
Speaker 5: Away to pick six, scoring, scoring, you can't do it.
Speaker 2: Take away to pick six. You can't do that when
Speaker 2: it's the scores of continually mounting up against you and
Speaker 2: now you got to come out of your bag.
Speaker 6: So I got a chance to voice my opinion after
Speaker 6: Mike McCarthy's press conference on Thursday.
Speaker 5: You have not had a chance yet, not yet, opinion,
Speaker 5: So you're up, Okay, got it?
Speaker 4: So I had found out obviously the night before the
Speaker 4: press conference, just in the media Mike McCarthy announced fifth
Speaker 4: season for the Cowboys. And the next day we go
Speaker 4: into the press conference room and I say to myself,
Speaker 4: this is the most packed I've seen it this entire year.
Speaker 2: They were expecting something else standing room. No, they knew.
Speaker 4: Jerry had released, they had announced it, but it was
Speaker 4: the most packed I've seen the room, just reporters standing
Speaker 4: in the back.
Speaker 3: Usually there's enough seating for everybody. Just a very packed room.
Speaker 4: And primarily the question was have we addressed what had
Speaker 4: happened against the Packers? And I talked to Mickey after
Speaker 4: and it almost felt like a lot of what we
Speaker 4: were talking about in the press conference, specifically coach McCarthy.
Speaker 4: It was a little bit going in circles and it
Speaker 4: was really, Hey, we need to go back and re
Speaker 4: evalue you wait this off season, look back at some
Speaker 4: of the fundamentals that we have and changes that we.
Speaker 2: Need to sounds familiar, exactly, sounds familiar.
Speaker 5: Well, so here here's the key thing.
Speaker 6: And I'll give Jerry credit for this, because everybody is
Speaker 6: calling for this and that, right, and while he respects
Speaker 6: the media, respects the fans, he sat back, took the
Speaker 6: emotion out of it and said, Okay, what's the prudent
Speaker 6: thing to do? Am I going to just blow it
Speaker 6: up and start from scratch after we've won twelve consecutive games.
Speaker 2: At eighty plus years old?
Speaker 5: Twelve? Yeah, that's one.
Speaker 6: That's one factor, right, And so I thought the other
Speaker 6: reasoning in his mind was if I fire Mike McCarthy,
Speaker 6: I fired my offensive coordinator and my play calling. So
Speaker 6: now whoever comes in with this big name, who's.
Speaker 5: Going to take that job over?
Speaker 6: And and basically put Dak in a situation where he's
Speaker 6: going to have a third offense or a third play caller.
Speaker 5: In three years?
Speaker 3: Yes, right now after one of his best seasons.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, So I.
Speaker 5: Think he had he had to factor that in. That
Speaker 5: was my thought on it. Now, as for the staff,
Speaker 5: I think there could be a couple of changes.
Speaker 2: That's why I was here.
Speaker 6: Yeah, what you said, and make sure guys aren't just well,
Speaker 6: and you got a factor in. Also, they got sixteen
Speaker 6: unrestricted free agents. So that's a big change right there,
Speaker 6: because you're not going to resign every one of those guys.
Speaker 6: And if I remember counting it upright, half of them
Speaker 6: were starters or are starters.
Speaker 5: Of both offense defense, special teams.
Speaker 6: Got to bring back the deeps. He's an unrestricted agent,
Speaker 6: right C J. Goodwin, who you didn't have the entire season,
Speaker 6: you know, do you want to bring him back as
Speaker 6: a special team play? So they've got that, They've got
Speaker 6: some work to do in the offseason, so it won't
Speaker 6: come back the same.
Speaker 5: But I just thought that just shaking it up like that,
Speaker 5: and assuming a.
Speaker 6: New coach comes in and he's gonna win twelve games,
Speaker 6: and he's going to win the division title and he's
Speaker 6: going to win two playoffs, right, that's a leap of
Speaker 6: faith right there. So to run it back one more
Speaker 6: time I think was and for his last time because
Speaker 6: this is last year, fifty year of his contract, and
Speaker 6: Jerry kind of did it what he wanted to do
Speaker 6: and didn't let the media or the fans uproar, or
Speaker 6: at least the ones that get vocal right sway him
Speaker 6: into a decision. I thought it was somewhat cheap after
Speaker 6: the game, and I think it happened with probably multiple
Speaker 6: TV stations to interview pissed off fans right after the game.
Speaker 2: Oh well, that's that's right, right, what are It's very entertaining,
Speaker 2: I must say, But I know this.
Speaker 3: Fan base is upset. They're upset.
Speaker 4: They served to me that we had such high expectations
Speaker 4: going to against Screen Bay, and I think it's still
Speaker 4: going to take a lot to prove on the football
Speaker 4: side to get this fan base.
Speaker 3: It does behind your back. But ultimately, Jerry, I think
Speaker 3: he made the right call.
Speaker 4: You keep around the coach that you've had twelve and
Speaker 4: five seasons continuously.
Speaker 2: I'm with you on that. When the fans they deserve better.
Speaker 2: I mean they've been sticking. Come on, this is the
Speaker 2: number one sports franchise in the world. And it's not
Speaker 2: just because you know you've got a smart owner. You've
Speaker 2: got fans that's support. And I mean, I'm a player,
Speaker 2: but I'm form a player, but I'm also a fan
Speaker 2: as well. I know both sides of it, and as
Speaker 2: a fan, yes, I do deserve more as a fan,
Speaker 2: so I know exactly how they feel. There's a lot
Speaker 2: of excuses you can make. I make excuses for this
Speaker 2: offense and defense as a former player, but then as
Speaker 2: a fan, I also know. Man, some of that is bs.
Speaker 2: You know it's I mean, and I mean, just to
Speaker 2: be honest, you know you've got to you can't keep
Speaker 2: doing the same thing over and over again. As we
Speaker 2: talked about, so changes, Yes, you're right, they have to
Speaker 2: be made, and McCarthy is going to have to, I think,
Speaker 2: and I don't think he likes to run his team
Speaker 2: this way, but he's going to have to change the
Speaker 2: way he runs his team. Regular season, Yes, those are
Speaker 2: big games. You got big games in regular season, and
Speaker 2: we've won big games in regular season. Doesn't mean jack
Speaker 2: when it comes to playoffs, because that's that's a whole
Speaker 2: the level and we are not reaching that based on
Speaker 2: his style of coaching at this point. And what I
Speaker 2: mean is, you know, you gotta cush your defensive coordinator out.
Speaker 2: Sometimes you gotta cut somebody out. Sometimes you gotta buck
Speaker 2: up to him with that big stomach you got and
Speaker 2: buck up to him. And man, you gotta do better.
Speaker 4: Bro.
Speaker 2: You know I'm looking bad over here. I'm the head coach.
Speaker 5: I'm just saying, man, you know, and you know what,
Speaker 5: you know what the scary part is, schedule gets tougher,
Speaker 5: it gets tough. Here's here's my list. So they're gonna they're.
Speaker 6: Uh their strength of schedule last year was the seventh worst,
Speaker 6: right now, their strength of schedule going off the teams
Speaker 6: they have to play next year. Off the record this year,
Speaker 6: uh is point it's fifty so point five oh five.
Speaker 5: So it's a winning record.
Speaker 6: Yes, all right, yes, So here are the games you
Speaker 6: got to play against teams that had winning records from
Speaker 6: this past season. Two games against Philly.
Speaker 5: You got to play.
Speaker 6: Baltimore AFC title game, a competitor. You got to play
Speaker 6: Tampa Bay nine and eight, Detroit twelve and five, Houston
Speaker 6: ten and seven, Cincinnati nine and eight, New Orleans nine
Speaker 6: and eight, Cleveland eleven and six, Pittsburgh ten and seven,
Speaker 6: and San Francisco again twelve and five.
Speaker 2: Good.
Speaker 5: So going to be nine good.
Speaker 6: Eleven of seventeen games they play will be against teams
Speaker 6: with winning records from this past season, and nine playoff teams,
Speaker 6: five division winners.
Speaker 5: So how many divisions do we have?
Speaker 2: Eight?
Speaker 5: And you're one of them. So that's six.
Speaker 6: You're only missing two division winners and the two teams
Speaker 6: that had the best records in their conference.
Speaker 2: So let me ask you, so, let me ask you
Speaker 2: it ain't do you think that we have the right
Speaker 2: to go into this season the way we did last season?
Speaker 2: Do you think that?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, you have to change.
Speaker 2: You got so much defensively. Defensively, you just can't outscore everyone.
Speaker 2: You just can't. I love the numbers, it all looks good,
Speaker 2: and I love the fact that the defense comes and
Speaker 2: reacts to that. I want my defense to be the
Speaker 2: catalyst for this team. And you can still offensively have
Speaker 2: the same plan. You still can't hardly run the damn ball, right,
Speaker 2: You're still passing the ball very well, So why not
Speaker 2: add a good defense to that? That predicates what we
Speaker 2: do play off of what we do.
Speaker 6: So, since you mentioned that, my deal from yesterday was
Speaker 6: the more majority of these teams ran the ball awfully well.
Speaker 5: Right now.
Speaker 6: I know Baltimore's stats and Buffalo stats get skewed because
Speaker 6: of the quarterback running for all those yards, But one
Speaker 6: of the things that occurred to me watching the games
Speaker 6: yesterday is there was a bunch of running backs who
Speaker 6: made people miss.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Man, right, that was a sweet one you're talking about.
Speaker 2: I think it was a buffalo.
Speaker 5: Well James Cook cook right, but he.
Speaker 2: Shied the man in the hole, took it to the
Speaker 2: house and you don't see that. That's the McCaffrey run back.
Speaker 12: And then Jamier Gibbs amazing and occurred to me that
Speaker 12: maybe it's not a bad thing draft a running back
Speaker 12: in the first round.
Speaker 2: That's what that's what they was. Gibbs the first rounded. Yeah, yes,
Speaker 2: he was GiB the first rounded.
Speaker 6: And and he made people miss in the hole. And
Speaker 6: it made me think back to you know, hey, Pollard
Speaker 6: did the best he could.
Speaker 5: With what was available there.
Speaker 6: Right, But he's more of a straight line runner than
Speaker 6: he is elusive. Donnal has a little bit elusiveness, but
Speaker 6: not like I saw what Gibbs. And I'm thinking, Okay,
Speaker 6: I'm playing with a fourth round draft choice at running back.
Speaker 6: Nothing against that because he certainly did the most and
Speaker 6: a free agent, basically rookie free agent, right, and they're
Speaker 6: playing with the first round running back. So I don't
Speaker 6: want to hear this offseason when we get to draft talk,
Speaker 6: take a running back.
Speaker 2: I want to remember because both games were good. That's
Speaker 2: how one of them. He's on the sideline and he
Speaker 2: fakes out of dB. He's on the sideline. I mean,
Speaker 2: you know that's easy tackle for a defensive back. You
Speaker 2: clearly use the sideline. He shook a guy down, went
Speaker 2: around him. It was against the Chiefs. He should it
Speaker 2: was the it was cooked. He sugar guy number thirty eight.
Speaker 2: He shook him down, got around him for about three
Speaker 2: or four more yards and went out of bound. Those
Speaker 2: kind of things. Our backs can't do that, and they
Speaker 2: don't even attempt to do that. And that was that
Speaker 2: was playoff football by running backs this entire weekend.
Speaker 4: Well, even if you look at Aaron Jones and Christian
Speaker 4: McCaffrey in a Green Bay forty nine ers game.
Speaker 3: They both were incredible. They will incredible.
Speaker 2: They showed great running back skills.
Speaker 4: Yeah, to your point, Mickey, it might not be a
Speaker 4: bad idea getting a running back in the first round,
Speaker 4: but you need to have somebody or even bring somebody
Speaker 4: in in the off season and start evaluating what that
Speaker 4: position looks like.
Speaker 3: With the powerhouse running.
Speaker 6: Well, we'll have time to talk about what they need
Speaker 6: in the draft, what they don't, but they're gonna need
Speaker 6: some juice, either offensively or defensively to get everybody excited
Speaker 6: about playing again.
Speaker 2: One more before we're going break. I'm wondering if our
Speaker 2: running back would do better one another year removed from
Speaker 2: the Achilles injury. Do you think that we talked about
Speaker 2: I think it was Terrence Steel trying to come back
Speaker 2: from his injury and that first year being tough, second
Speaker 2: year of being better. Do you think that that's what
Speaker 2: was going on with Pollot coming off that first year
Speaker 2: is always tougher and maybe he'll be better the following year,
Speaker 2: because that's certainly with Bold, just the same for a
Speaker 2: running back as it would for an offensive lineman.
Speaker 6: Well, and by the way, he's an unrestricted free agent,
Speaker 6: so now you're gonna have to decide if you do,
Speaker 6: and then you're gonna have to judge the market right
Speaker 6: on what does somebody else think of my two guys
Speaker 6: compared to what I think of them.
Speaker 5: So it's going to be an interesting off season, yeah,
Speaker 5: for sure.
Speaker 4: And I have a full list of off season specific
Speaker 4: dates that are important, all right to that when we
Speaker 4: get back with more mcshots in a moment.

Speaker 5: Thursday night, Thursday or Thursday day? I will try and night.
Speaker 2: It's a night.
Speaker 5: Okay, Well we can go see that and start our scouting.
Speaker 2: For the draft, just looking for running backs and linebackers.
Speaker 2: That's all were we go here for that? All right?
Speaker 5: So the Packers check this out.
Speaker 6: They ran for one hundred and thirty six yards against
Speaker 6: the San Francisco defense that we all kind of judged
Speaker 6: being pretty darn good. Right, The forty nine ers ran
Speaker 6: for one hundred and eleven yards.
Speaker 5: Neither quarterback had a great date.
Speaker 6: Now, I know it was raining, right, San Francis needs
Speaker 6: a roof. Okay, how many times they're going to play
Speaker 6: these games?
Speaker 2: And they too because they only just failed down yesterday.
Speaker 2: No Packing players are falling down now.
Speaker 6: I know. The The Packers game basically came down to
Speaker 6: that last possession. I think Love started playing too fast
Speaker 6: by the way that he still had He's had time, right,
Speaker 6: he didn't have to throw a disposition.
Speaker 5: It's like, what are you doing?
Speaker 6: But here's where I thought they lost the game. Their
Speaker 6: first possession, they drove right down the field first and
Speaker 6: ten at the San Francisco thirteen. They kick a twenty
Speaker 6: nine yard field goal.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 6: Second possession, they're up three to nothing. They drive from
Speaker 6: the eighteen all the way to the FO fourteen yard line.
Speaker 6: They go for it on fourth down, which I was four,
Speaker 6: and they get stuffed on fourth and one, and you
Speaker 6: know what, I still think they should have challenged the call.
Speaker 5: That guy made it.
Speaker 2: He made it. He made it, he made it.
Speaker 5: I don't know why they didn't challenge it.
Speaker 2: They looked. That reminded me so much of several of
Speaker 2: Dak's quarterbacks. Sneaks on the goal line, raise whole bodies
Speaker 2: laying across the line, and they're like, oh, I think
Speaker 2: it was back here. So yeah, you know, sometimes I
Speaker 2: think that's home cooking. I don't know, it just seems
Speaker 2: like that. It seems like a little home cooking.
Speaker 5: And then after.
Speaker 6: San Francisco goes down and gets the touchdown pass Uh
Speaker 6: to Kittle, it was wide open, I remember correctly. Their
Speaker 6: next possession, they get to first and goal at the nine,
Speaker 6: and they had to settle for another twenty nine yard
Speaker 6: field goal, and as you guys know, and I continue
Speaker 6: to preach, the more field goals you kicked, the closer
Speaker 6: you are to losing.
Speaker 2: You got that. There's only one exception to that that
Speaker 2: I know of. Yeah, that would be the Giants versus
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers. Yes, we gig five field.
Speaker 6: Goals and we kicked that ass thanks to the defense,
Speaker 6: right right, that's right, thanks to the defense.
Speaker 5: You were inside.
Speaker 6: Basically the red zone three times and you got six points.
Speaker 6: You just can't have that happen because you were dominating
Speaker 6: the game. San Francisco was in trouble, and you know what,
Speaker 6: they looked vulnerable they did right there.
Speaker 2: You can see that. That's that. You can see that
Speaker 2: the secondary clearly has issues. At this point, Love was
Speaker 2: kind of he had some place to where he made
Speaker 2: them look like the Cowboys secondary.
Speaker 5: How do they get guys that wide open?
Speaker 2: Well? People falling down? There were some people falling down
Speaker 2: that for some reason, the safety came up and number
Speaker 2: eighty Melton, I believe it was going right by it
Speaker 2: and he fell down. What are you doing? I think
Speaker 2: he thought he was gonna run a deep end cot
Speaker 2: of something, which that didn't seem to be the case.
Speaker 2: Like that could have even been the case at that time.
Speaker 5: And once again, by the way, Love did not get
Speaker 5: sacked once.
Speaker 4: I was gonna bring that up because the ability for
Speaker 4: him to have as much time as he did in
Speaker 4: the pocket, both in the Cowboys game and against San
Speaker 4: fran who is one of the best defenses that you'll
Speaker 4: see in the league. That was actually very impressive to me.
Speaker 2: Because of the running game there. That was the running game.
Speaker 2: The running game was working, and the play action was
Speaker 2: what got him had He had plenty of time because
Speaker 2: of the play action. And I gotta say, guys, you
Speaker 2: switching gears. Defensively, the Packers are much better defensive squad
Speaker 2: than they showed you out throughout the whole season. They
Speaker 2: stepped it up during the playoffs because they played the
Speaker 2: forty nine ers very well. They had brought Purty looking
Speaker 2: like an average quarterback and it's a guy it's up
Speaker 2: for a MVP as a quarterback, and now they really
Speaker 2: made them look pedestrian.
Speaker 5: See. I heard somebody talking this morning on the way
Speaker 5: in that he just had a bad game. Well, there's
Speaker 5: a reason why he had a miss game, right. They
Speaker 5: played awfully well and the.
Speaker 2: Pressure inside coming from number ninety seven, whoever this guy
Speaker 2: is in ninety seven or ninety three. He was leaning
Speaker 2: on the guards and the centers all game long, putting
Speaker 2: pressure on the quarterback, and he was in Purity's face.
Speaker 2: Party is just like any other QB. Let's just face
Speaker 2: the guys. They're all human and when someone is in
Speaker 2: your face, you can feel it. When someone is breathing
Speaker 2: down your back, they can feel it, and you throw
Speaker 2: too soon or you throw aidly. And that's what I
Speaker 2: liked about the pressure that they were getting because it
Speaker 2: caused Party to panic just a little bit, just like
Speaker 2: you see happens to Dad, just like you see happens
Speaker 2: to Josh Allen or any quarterback in the league.
Speaker 4: And Green Bay's ability to put pressure on Jennings, I
Speaker 4: Uke Kittle was was very proven because the amount of
Speaker 4: times George Kittle, but.
Speaker 3: He had seven targets only four receptions. He dropped the ball.
Speaker 4: Right right there, and I just think that they really
Speaker 4: got to got to those guys, even Jennings, he had
Speaker 4: six targets, got the ball five times. I Uke six targets,
Speaker 4: three receptions, So.
Speaker 5: You know, and the other the other thing that should
Speaker 5: not get overlooked by the way.
Speaker 6: Is the Packers drove to the San Francisco twenty three
Speaker 6: yard line and Carlson, on a forty one yard field goal,
Speaker 6: went wide left. And I was saying to myself, Oh,
Speaker 6: that's going to come back.
Speaker 5: You know, right he hits that field goal, it's a
Speaker 5: tie game. They're going into overtime. That's how close they came.
Speaker 2: That's how important field goal kickers are.
Speaker 5: How about that. That's one thing we can't.
Speaker 2: Don't worry about our kickers now we are good.
Speaker 6: And and then if we look at the Buffalo games, Oh,
Speaker 6: my god, wide right again.
Speaker 5: Everson knows all about well.
Speaker 2: It was so funny because I can't think it was
Speaker 2: Mark Collins. He that was my cornerback on the right side.
Speaker 2: He talked about thirty three years ago yesterday we beat
Speaker 2: San Francisco and they said that was supposed to be
Speaker 2: one of the greatest teams in history. And we we
Speaker 2: came in with the five field goals and beat them up.
Speaker 2: And as we're talking about that, the Buffalo game is
Speaker 2: on and he went wide right, and boy, the thread
Speaker 2: just got bigger and bigger. We talked about it all night.
Speaker 2: We texted out. Sorry, we texted about it all night.
Speaker 2: About Buffalo and the history of wide right. So we
Speaker 2: just came up with a whole new name for him,
Speaker 2: the Buffalo wide right Bills. And my son said it
Speaker 2: before they even started getting into the thread. He said,
Speaker 2: he'll miss it. I said, why you say that? He said,
Speaker 2: that's what Buffalo kickers do. That was my son's That
Speaker 2: was my son's call as we're sitting there watching the game.
Speaker 2: And sure enough, like, man, that was too easy. I mean,
Speaker 2: you know, it's going left to right right, the wind
Speaker 2: was blowing left to right. He didn't account for that
Speaker 2: at all. It came off the foot straight, straight, and
Speaker 2: sure enough, the wind did what the wind does.
Speaker 6: And he said that after the game too, he said,
Speaker 6: I knew what the wind does going that direct. Yeah,
Speaker 6: and I didn't allow he didn't trust it.
Speaker 2: He did. I think if you put more more, uh,
Speaker 2: I don't know how kickers do, but he seemed like
Speaker 2: he chipped. He chipped it.
Speaker 6: It's like he kicked it like it was a forty
Speaker 6: four yard field, like instead of a fifty four yard.
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you. That's what he didn't drive it.
Speaker 2: He didn't drive it. He just kind of used a
Speaker 2: nine iron you as opposed to using the hybrid and
Speaker 2: in the air softly and the wind took it.
Speaker 5: How heartbreaking, And all we talked about.
Speaker 2: All we talked about after that was Scott norwould of course,
Speaker 2: and everyone talked about they were testing about. Oh, I
Speaker 2: just saw Scott noringwood this past offseason, and you know,
Speaker 2: I didn't bring it up until I think Steve says
Speaker 2: he was with him the entire golf round and he
Speaker 2: was waiting on him to bring it up. Scott was
Speaker 2: and Dios brought it up on the eighteenth hole.
Speaker 6: No way, and you know, and but again, and I
Speaker 6: was glad. Josh Allen pointed it out. It's like the
Speaker 6: kid didn't lose the game we did. I mean, they've
Speaker 6: got first and ten, they're at the twenty seven yard line,
Speaker 6: and they end up with what three straight incompletions.
Speaker 2: It's like, well, when you when you even look at them,
Speaker 2: they ran for one.
Speaker 6: Yard and then had two straight incompletions, where one of
Speaker 6: them I thought he should have just ran with it
Speaker 6: the last one and just get me five more yards
Speaker 6: or six more yards right to shorten the distance of
Speaker 6: the field goal.
Speaker 2: When you look at that game, they were lucky to
Speaker 2: have a chance to kick that field goal of Hardman
Speaker 2: of course messes up on them on the goal line
Speaker 2: when he fumbles the ball. Was his name, was that
Speaker 2: hard of when he fumbled the.
Speaker 5: Ball kN city out at the end zone.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they they were gonna lose, you could
Speaker 2: they were going to That was gonna be like making
Speaker 2: the two score game if I'm not mistaken, right, they
Speaker 2: made another mistake where they should have uh done well,
Speaker 2: done better.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 2: San Francisco got away with Jordan Love throwing some crap
Speaker 2: across the middle. For some reason, he was way behind
Speaker 2: his tight end and that was a mistake. So you
Speaker 2: just had you had games where you know, the quarterbacks,
Speaker 2: you know they they they made some mistakes and and
Speaker 2: and put themselves out of position. If the Packers complete
Speaker 2: that pass to the tight end coming across the middle,
Speaker 2: I think it ended up being inaccepted, the.
Speaker 5: One the Savage intercepted.
Speaker 6: Yeah no, this was the Packers. The Jordan Love missed
Speaker 6: this coming to call he missed it. Yeah, yeah, but
Speaker 6: that was another Packer play. The same guy that returned
Speaker 6: for the touchdown against the Cowboys. He's got another one.
Speaker 2: He misses it. Give me a break. I'm like, and
Speaker 2: my son, and I was like, okay, we kept comparing
Speaker 2: everything to Dallas, gave everythings, but.
Speaker 9: That was it.
Speaker 2: That was it.
Speaker 5: That was a touchdown.
Speaker 2: That was a touchdown just like I was right.
Speaker 5: So yeah, that was that was Yeah.
Speaker 3: So predictions going into next Sunday, do.
Speaker 2: That very good.
Speaker 6: I don't think she wanted to bring up our predictions
Speaker 6: in the last Cowboys game.
Speaker 3: I think that we are clicks to pick.
Speaker 2: We may need to just let's just scrap that the
Speaker 2: last last game.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, Chiefs Ravens Sunday, three o'clock Eastern time,
Speaker 4: big game.
Speaker 2: I've always said that I wouldn't be placed Jack with
Speaker 2: any other quarterback but Mahomes. I've always said that, and
Speaker 2: because he's just he's just got it.
Speaker 5: He's amazing.
Speaker 2: He's amazing.
Speaker 5: If you look at his wide receiver core and he
Speaker 5: made it work, you.
Speaker 2: Can look at any any way you want to look
Speaker 2: at it. I don't care with tyber Hill or not.
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes was always that guy. And you know, he's
Speaker 2: the only one I know that can do miracles. At
Speaker 2: this point. Having said that, I don't think he's going
Speaker 2: to do it against Buffalo, against Baltimore. I think Baltimore
Speaker 2: is going to win the game. That defense makes Lamar
Speaker 2: look so good and comfortable. I know he never feels stressed.
Speaker 2: He can go over there and talk about something with
Speaker 2: his offense while his defense is out there busting people up.
Speaker 2: That's a great luxury to have, and I think they're
Speaker 2: going to do that same thing in this game. So
Speaker 2: I'm looking at Baltimore to win.
Speaker 4: I think the Ravens, especially with Lamar, look like a
Speaker 4: more composed team. I think the Chiefs tend to scramble
Speaker 4: a little bit, and as you said, Mahomes has pulled
Speaker 4: off some of those miracles, but I think this scrambling
Speaker 4: and the ability to just not have control so much
Speaker 4: is going to cost them in the end. I think
Speaker 4: the Ravens are more composed and have a better team
Speaker 4: with Lamar as their quarterback.
Speaker 5: All right, So just to make sure we.
Speaker 6: All don't do the same thing, put me down for
Speaker 6: Kansas City a win on the road again, Okay. And
Speaker 6: what they're going to have to figure out is basically
Speaker 6: they cannot allow what was it, They cannot allow Lamar
Speaker 6: Jackson to rush for one hundred yards and that means
Speaker 6: not he only had nine runs for one hundred yards.
Speaker 3: That's like two rushing touchdowns right right, Yeah, and.
Speaker 5: You knew what was going to happen, did didn't you know?
Speaker 5: He was going to run the ball. So he averaged
Speaker 5: nine point one a carry. Put me down for Kansas City.
Speaker 3: Okay, interesting, Hey.
Speaker 2: By the way, there was another moment in that game.
Speaker 2: Twenty seven could have scooped and scored on the fumble
Speaker 2: against Buffalo. They fumbled the ball, Buffalo fumbled. Buffalo fumbled
Speaker 2: the ball. Number twenty seven had a chance to scoop
Speaker 2: and score and Buffalo got the ball.
Speaker 5: Oh when the guy on the ground reached out and
Speaker 5: pulled it back.
Speaker 2: Yes, So yeah, that that game that wasn't nearly as
Speaker 2: close right as that field missfield goal might make it
Speaker 2: seem so changed out? Yeah you should, all right, lions
Speaker 2: for that's a tough one. That's a tough one. Dan
Speaker 2: Campbell coming in strong, coming in like that big Texas man,
Speaker 2: chest stuck out.
Speaker 5: Did you hear what he had to say at halftime
Speaker 5: at the interview. Now, they were like, what are you
Speaker 5: going to do? What do you gotta do? He goes,
Speaker 5: what do we gotta do? We got to play football?
Speaker 6: He goes, We're we're in we're in the divisional, we're
Speaker 6: playing to go to the conference championship. Let's go out
Speaker 6: and have some fun. Because they were trying to say, well,
Speaker 6: what did you know everything that went wrong? And he's going, no,
Speaker 6: he goes, you know, we're in this, let's go and
Speaker 6: I love it was great what I'm talking about, And
Speaker 6: it sounded like and it sounded like so they were
Speaker 6: up seventeen thirteen at halftime, right, and it sounded like
Speaker 6: what he was doing in the interview was what he
Speaker 6: told the team.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 5: It wasn't this, well, we just got to make a
Speaker 5: play here or play there, you know, and.
Speaker 6: We're in the No, it's like he basically told the
Speaker 6: reporter exactly what he told his team.
Speaker 2: That doesn't predicate how a team plays, but damn it
Speaker 2: sure does sound good. The other thing, you know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying, Sometimes you you know, being a brash and
Speaker 2: you know it. You know, if it works with your team.
Speaker 2: It doesn't always work with everyone, with every team, but
Speaker 2: Dan Campbell you believe it. You believe it's going to
Speaker 2: work just because that's his that's his moo.
Speaker 3: All right, So who are you going with.
Speaker 2: Detroit? Okay, I'm going with Detroit. Okay, that's a tough
Speaker 2: one because the twenty nine is all tough.
Speaker 6: You know what, I'm gonna go with the Upset also,
Speaker 6: And you know what the problem is is I tend
Speaker 6: to pick who I probably am pulling for.
Speaker 2: Well, nothing wrong with that, especially when you have two
Speaker 2: closely matched teams, Right, you might as well go with
Speaker 2: what you like if it's either I'm going.
Speaker 3: With the Lions as well, guys three for three.
Speaker 2: I think Bill would too.
Speaker 5: Bill's now just gonna have to be honest. This is
Speaker 5: what I would have done. Right, Let's see if he
Speaker 5: if he happened to be listening.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well if we did. If he did, we begin
Speaker 2: plenty of texts. I don't get any I don't have
Speaker 2: any texts.
Speaker 3: Well, he'll have to let us know his thoughts.
Speaker 5: We'll have to put him. Yeah, he's got to be honest, right.
Speaker 3: Right, because next Monday, we're gonna know who's going to
Speaker 3: the super.
Speaker 5: Bowl, that's right.
Speaker 6: So well, we'll have an extra week there because there's
Speaker 6: a week in between, so we'll know who's going. Then
Speaker 6: we can make our picks exactly in a week later.
Speaker 5: Perfect, All right.
Speaker 3: That'll do it. We'll see we will next week.
Speaker 5: Yeah, at eleven o'clock, eleven o'clock.
Speaker 2: Eleven Bill Go Cowboys.
