Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is nick
Speaker 1: shot screening live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the
Speaker 1: official Dallas Cowboys apt now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls,
Speaker 1: and Nicky Spagnola. I needed to hear some victory stamp myself.
Speaker 1: We'll get it tomorrow because it's a fabulous football Friday tomorrow.
Speaker 1: But this is a Thursday inside the s WBC podcast studio.
Speaker 1: And I don't know where y'all have been all week,
Speaker 1: but I've been right here. You've been laying on listening
Speaker 1: to you all week, and there are football players on
Speaker 1: a football field, and I don't know about y'all, but
Speaker 1: I'm past the Packers. It makes me a few days
Speaker 1: to get over it. But that's why I'm back today.
Speaker 1: I like that Bills noting the new attitude, and most importantly,
Speaker 1: they need to be by right past the Packers because
Speaker 1: as we see in this league, and as I was
Speaker 1: walking by one of the TVs whatever show was on,
Speaker 1: the little crawler there underneath said, will the Packers make
Speaker 1: the playoffs? So all you gotta do is win one game? Right? No,
Speaker 1: it's not just win one game, right, it's win one game, Cowboys,
Speaker 1: and by god, you're not gonna lose another game. Well,
Speaker 1: we'll tune in tonight to see how that I tried.
Speaker 1: They're playing, they've got the turnaround this week. They're playing
Speaker 1: the Tennessee tonight. Is that in Green Bay? Yes? Yes, yes, okay, correct?
Speaker 1: And when you lose one, you're never gonna win another
Speaker 1: one if you're the Cowboys, right, So we'll see what
Speaker 1: happens this weekend. There's actually a decent Thursday night game
Speaker 1: this yes, absolute, and the Packers. Yeah, Al Michaels is
Speaker 1: probably happy. You know why that is because we're in November.
Speaker 1: That's it. That sweeps time. I thought that in an
Speaker 1: account for last week's game, which was what Atlanta and
Speaker 1: Carolina or whoever it was, so, but I bet it
Speaker 1: counted for Sunday's three twenty five game, that's right. I
Speaker 1: hear it was a well watched game on TV and
Speaker 1: that was a Fox game, right, And now CBS get
Speaker 1: there's a reason that the Cowboys are getting these uh
Speaker 1: Green Bay on Fox in the late window and then
Speaker 1: Minnesota and because they the schedulemaker knew that the Vikings
Speaker 1: would be eight and one right in week knew that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's exactly right. They might No, no, not even the
Speaker 1: Vikings that try and even a week ago, even with
Speaker 1: a minute or a minute left in the game last week,
Speaker 1: the Vikings didn't think they would be eight and one.
Speaker 1: But they you didn't think they planned that out, to
Speaker 1: leave the ball at the one yard line and then
Speaker 1: see if they can fumble the center snap you down.
Speaker 1: I will say this, I think it's been a very
Speaker 1: good thing that the three days that I missed in
Speaker 1: a row were the three days after Christian Watson caught
Speaker 1: three Touchdoyes. We were we were very Yeah, we had
Speaker 1: to sit here and take all of that crap. We
Speaker 1: had to swallow all that crow just because of you, man, Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: just because of you. He proved in that game what
Speaker 1: the scout said about him that he can't he can't catch,
Speaker 1: he can't out that he can the scout said he
Speaker 1: can't catch, and he proved that you can't catch him
Speaker 1: too well. Once he can catch it, yeah, if he
Speaker 1: catches it, watch out. It was the old Alexander right theory. Right, Well,
Speaker 1: you know you gotta cover him because you never know
Speaker 1: when he's gonna catch one. Yea, I have somebody that's
Speaker 1: trying to move on. I have a quote here. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to read it at all, but j Ryan
Speaker 1: curses moving on. It was pretty honest yesterday. Yes, he was.
Speaker 1: You know exactly what I'm talking about, right, You should
Speaker 1: be you should be angry, he said, you should be frustrated.
Speaker 1: If you're not, then I think we got the wrong
Speaker 1: guys on this defense. If you're walking around like everything
Speaker 1: is fine, knowing how things went for us last year
Speaker 1: against San Francisco being a big reason on why we
Speaker 1: didn't advance in the postseason last year. If you're not frustrated,
Speaker 1: then we got the wrong guys on this defense. If
Speaker 1: you're not mad, So why do you think Mike McCarthy
Speaker 1: keeps having to answer the question, Are you worried about
Speaker 1: a team that's still angry and frustrated? Hell? No, No,
Speaker 1: that's what you want, right, Yes, the sense of urgency,
Speaker 1: that's what I like. It's like, well, they haven't put
Speaker 1: that behind him. I don't wanted behind him. No, if
Speaker 1: it's a win, you put that buck. If you put
Speaker 1: it behind them, then you forget how you still forget
Speaker 1: how to stop the run. Yeah, yeah, we want to
Speaker 1: go forward with some sense of urgency. And and like
Speaker 1: you said, if you're if you're not, if you're here
Speaker 1: happy about how you play, then you're the only one.
Speaker 1: And then you shouldn't be that happy. You should be
Speaker 1: worried about this team because you as a pattern that
Speaker 1: is evolving here. And I believe it was Cursed that
Speaker 1: said this yesterday. I don't think it was Gallimore, but
Speaker 1: one of them said, so you know, it's the old
Speaker 1: do your job deal, which Douglas Barricklow reminded me that
Speaker 1: an away game during Jason Garrett's time as the head coach,
Speaker 1: they would pass out the room keys and there'd be
Speaker 1: a little saying on there, like the saying of the week,
Speaker 1: the theme of the week. Yeah, And he pulled out
Speaker 1: one that had do your job on the key, right,
Speaker 1: And so those guys were saying, okay, So say you're
Speaker 1: a defensive lineman and you're supposed to take the B
Speaker 1: gap and then somebody else comes over in the B
Speaker 1: gap with you, which means the sea gaps open. And
Speaker 1: if the C gaps open, the running backs are good
Speaker 1: enough to know where it's open, and the offensive lineman
Speaker 1: can come off the ball and hit your linebackers, and
Speaker 1: now it makes it even more difficult. So if you're
Speaker 1: supposed to be in the sea gap, stay in the
Speaker 1: sea gap. And so we'll see if the discipline picks up,
Speaker 1: because obviously Minnesota will test them with Kelvin Cottle was
Speaker 1: never a running back. I'm just got I'm not built
Speaker 1: for running back, but my dad was. He was a
Speaker 1: hell of afore back and he talked about the same
Speaker 1: way you you hit the line that Tom Landry talked about.
Speaker 1: When Dorset would get the ball, we would pitch it
Speaker 1: out to him, he would go lateral looking for the
Speaker 1: softness in the cutback. And that's what has been created
Speaker 1: time and time again against our defense. They are allowed
Speaker 1: to create softness because there's no coordination in the attack
Speaker 1: defensively by a defensive line and linebackers. And this is
Speaker 1: nothing new, nothing new, nothing new. All nine games and
Speaker 1: seven teams have run for more than a hundred yards.
Speaker 1: But the reason is nothing new as well, because we're
Speaker 1: talking nineteen eighties when I first heard it right and
Speaker 1: it's still to this day. They create the softness and
Speaker 1: when they hit that line, they're going downhill. The linebackers
Speaker 1: are not stuffing the hole, the lineman and the wrong gaps,
Speaker 1: and that softness turns it from what should be a
Speaker 1: one yard game sometimes into a five six plus yard game.
Speaker 1: You know, though, what was different about this loss than
Speaker 1: any loss that the Cowboys have had since twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: all the losses last year and then the two previous
Speaker 1: ones this year. What was the difference in this loss
Speaker 1: compared to those? This was the This was the This
Speaker 1: was the first time that the Cowboys didn't fall behind
Speaker 1: by double digits in the first half of a game,
Speaker 1: oh and true and lose the game. They actually had
Speaker 1: a lead. They actually had a in fact, a fourteen
Speaker 1: point lead going to the fourth quarter. And as you
Speaker 1: all know, first time in franchise history they've blown a
Speaker 1: fourteen point fourth quarter leading lost a game. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: they had the fourteen point lead in the fourth quarter
Speaker 1: for a minute. No, no, but I'm saying going into
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, that was that's the I know, that's
Speaker 1: what it is. But they were way to lose. Let's
Speaker 1: lose in the third quarter. Okay, so, but they had
Speaker 1: the fourteen point lead at the end of the find
Speaker 1: that's what the statistics always seems to be right optimistic.
Speaker 1: But the point is, the point is this is the
Speaker 1: first time skeptical about it. This is the first time
Speaker 1: if you look at all of their losses, all six
Speaker 1: of their losses last year, including the playoffs, they fell
Speaker 1: behind by double digits in the second quarter of the game.
Speaker 1: And that's a good one. And then this year Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay and Philadelphia they fell behind. And what happens when
Speaker 1: you fall behind like that is the other team can
Speaker 1: now run the football and that and they're running clock
Speaker 1: basically when they do that, and they own the game
Speaker 1: from that point. So it's hard to come back and
Speaker 1: win those games. And but what the Packers did in
Speaker 1: this game was they even though they were down, they
Speaker 1: still ran the football. The other teams if they got
Speaker 1: down by fourteen, they would not have kept running the football.
Speaker 1: And that's and that's when the Cowboys, Yeah, that's right,
Speaker 1: but they had they don't have the same Well, the
Speaker 1: Bears didn't have the ability to throw three touchdown pass right,
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys scored forty nine points in that game.
Speaker 1: I can't score forty nine every week. Yeah, twenty eight
Speaker 1: should be enough. Twenty eight should be enough. With this
Speaker 1: great defense, that we have. Yeah, we don't have to
Speaker 1: be worrying about a nickname here, not yet. Yeah we have.
Speaker 1: They have some nicknames for them. I don't want to
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, they had a lot of nicknames
Speaker 1: this week, so ob I think, or at least the
Speaker 1: letter I got in the mail O Lord in the
Speaker 1: mail in the mayor in the mail in the may
Speaker 1: that be a mix shot mailbag. We go to the mailbag.
Speaker 1: I can't even get into what it had to say.
Speaker 1: This was in the mail in the mail there was
Speaker 1: a dressed with a return like a drug dress. Return
Speaker 1: the dress, yes, and a phone number stamped and a
Speaker 1: phone numbers? Who gets mailed? Anymore? I did? If it's
Speaker 1: not a bill? Who gets who gets mailed? They knew
Speaker 1: they addressed to one Cowboys way. I can't. I can't
Speaker 1: remember the last time I walked to the mailbox. Oh oh,
Speaker 1: don't you get junk bill? My wife gets it? Oh wow, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: you see I got I have no reason. There's only
Speaker 1: bad news if I'm going to that mailbox, Why why
Speaker 1: would I ever be a check in there? No, there's
Speaker 1: no check in, no check out. It's it's yeah, I
Speaker 1: still get a few that way. Yeah, Um, are you
Speaker 1: done with that? I ran, yes, Okay, you don't have
Speaker 1: the letter with you. It's out of my desk. Well
Speaker 1: maybe during the break you can you know what, you
Speaker 1: know what, don't you go get it? You know what
Speaker 1: it looks like. Remember when you were in great school
Speaker 1: and you had the wide lines that you can write
Speaker 1: real big. This one is outside the white lines. Take
Speaker 1: the letters are like this high. Is it in crayon pencil? Pencil? No,
Speaker 1: it was kind of pencil. It was in It was
Speaker 1: a gray No. I don't know if it was a
Speaker 1: gray magic marker or what. But it was serial killer.
Speaker 1: And I was that's that's what I was thinking. I'm
Speaker 1: thinking serial killer. I had if I had to turn this,
Speaker 1: save your mails, save all of that, save all the evidence. Okay,
Speaker 1: they need to do some DNA on that day, and
Speaker 1: I think I can't remember. On the front of the
Speaker 1: envelope for the Baccalove it had something about voodoo. Okay,
Speaker 1: have you had enough? Don't don't bring that in here.
Speaker 1: You know, we don't want any of that stuff. When
Speaker 1: when when Nikki saw how it was addressed, Um, and
Speaker 1: she's the one upstairs, she said it must be for
Speaker 1: making she no, she said, she said, I don't know
Speaker 1: if I should open this o lord, as she brought
Speaker 1: the mail the other day. All right, let's go to practice, Okay,
Speaker 1: get something that's somewhat important. So opening as the Cowboys
Speaker 1: were stretching as normal, Zeke and Michael Gallup were on
Speaker 1: the chords with Britt Brown. Anthony Brown was out there
Speaker 1: for the stretch. He had his helmet on and then
Speaker 1: all I saw him do after that when we were
Speaker 1: out there is kind of standing around watching I see him.
Speaker 1: I just saw him coming in standing that one bothers me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because he said he would be in concussion protocol and
Speaker 1: that the earliest he would be out is Friday. So
Speaker 1: my guess is what they have to evaluate is if
Speaker 1: he does strenuous activity physical activity for a day or
Speaker 1: two and then what effect does that have on him?
Speaker 1: So Friday would be the earliest that he would clear
Speaker 1: the concussion protocol. DeMarcus Lawrence did not practice yesterday and
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy said that he would start to practice today
Speaker 1: with Britt Brown on the resistant chords. He's got a
Speaker 1: toe problem and he came out after the stretch and
Speaker 1: special teams, but he did not have pads on, So
Speaker 1: that didn't bode well for practicing on Thursday. Maybe he
Speaker 1: gets in does something on Saturday. This is who again,
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence, so we got to keep an eye on him.
Speaker 1: Anthony Barr was dressed and he was on the resistance
Speaker 1: chords with Britt and I didn't see Quentin bow Hannah
Speaker 1: out there. Now I could have missed him. He wasn't on.
Speaker 1: How could you miss Quinton boy Well? I said, maybe
Speaker 1: I missed him because I didn't see him out there.
Speaker 1: How large man is this? Well, evidently not large enough
Speaker 1: for the a gap Hankins is. So anyway, that's your
Speaker 1: injury update. So Anthony Barr, you're thinking his return, the
Speaker 1: triumphant return to Minnesota. I don't know if it's going
Speaker 1: to have happen. We'll see. At least he had his
Speaker 1: pads on, so you know, maybe he was supposed to
Speaker 1: do that warm up and then get in limited practice
Speaker 1: and then take it to Saturday. But I did see
Speaker 1: where the Minnesota Vikings have three guys yesterday that did
Speaker 1: not practice and three starters that did not practice. Christian
Speaker 1: Dery saw their offensive tackle is missing with a concussion.
Speaker 1: Uh A. Caleb Evans, their cornerback concussion, and Delvin Tomlinson,
Speaker 1: the starting defensive lineman with a calf injury. Two guys
Speaker 1: were limited for the Vikings, Zadarius Smith outside linebacker and
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson had a bad toe. So maybe they'd go
Speaker 1: out there and step on it. I don't think. I
Speaker 1: don't think that, boy, especially if after after he watched
Speaker 1: what Christian Watson did. Yeah, well you would hope that
Speaker 1: trey Vin Digs is at least on traveling. He's a
Speaker 1: traveling man this week, well, he traveled with Lazard last Well,
Speaker 1: I'm until Lazard got on somebody else when down uh
Speaker 1: decided the game, but they didn't have anybody to take
Speaker 1: care of Christian Watson. Um, all right, one O. The
Speaker 1: thing on well, I got a couple of things here
Speaker 1: and we'll get into after the break. But on the concussion,
Speaker 1: so for on Anthony Brown. So it's how you react
Speaker 1: to strenuous activity as the judgment on the protocol. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you got to come back and have no ill effects.
Speaker 1: We would never play in an NFL day again again
Speaker 1: if how we reacted to strenuous activity determine whether or not, Well,
Speaker 1: you could my body still reacting every years ago. You
Speaker 1: guys are worried about the next day. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: reach your body at your head. Okay, well continue with

Speaker 1: They should't have his mouth WI shot. Yeah, the k
Speaker 1: Post roofing and so they do exist. You shouldn't even
Speaker 1: have to read that anymore. I don't trust myself, aren't
Speaker 1: You talked about the Vikings left tackle Christian Deissol, who
Speaker 1: is in concussion protocol and he had to come out
Speaker 1: of the game against Buffalo, missing the last thirty nine
Speaker 1: snaps of that game. Okay, all right, the Vikings ran
Speaker 1: eighty three snaps in that game on offense. All right,
Speaker 1: get this, I'm doing my study in rehab last rehab
Speaker 1: the vic You know, one of the main reasons the
Speaker 1: Vikings are eight and one right now because they come
Speaker 1: from behind and win games. Well, I would point to
Speaker 1: the offensive line and the lack of injuries on their
Speaker 1: offensive line. They're starting five on their offensive line has
Speaker 1: been totally intact all season, first off of the season,
Speaker 1: and I was gonna stay the running games first, and
Speaker 1: well the running game night includes the season opener. Like,
Speaker 1: no one got hurt for three months? No they they
Speaker 1: You mean before the season even started, Tyrne Smith. Yeah,
Speaker 1: before the season even started. No, they've got they've got
Speaker 1: the starting offensive lineman they intended to have if you
Speaker 1: include ed Ingram from De Soto, Texas and LSU their
Speaker 1: second round draft pick who won the right guard spot
Speaker 1: coming out of camp. All right, the first eight games
Speaker 1: of the season, the five starting offensive lineman for the Vikings.
Speaker 1: Know how many total offensive snaps they missed in those
Speaker 1: eight games? Thirty nine? Nope, three, three, they missed three
Speaker 1: and then this last game. Yeah, so your your answer
Speaker 1: is zero? Yeah, okay, they had missed three offensive snaps
Speaker 1: those five offensive linemen the first eight games of the season,
Speaker 1: and then finally, Christian Derrisaw suffers a concussion midway through
Speaker 1: the Buffalo game and Blake Brendel came in to replace
Speaker 1: him the final thirty nine snaps. But if you can
Speaker 1: keep that offensive line intact all season long, I think
Speaker 1: if you go across the league and just look at
Speaker 1: injuries on the offensive line, you'll probably find a lot
Speaker 1: of winning teams who don't have very many injuries on
Speaker 1: their offensive line, including the Cowboys, right, yeah, I mean Smith,
Speaker 1: Well McGovern missed it, didn't He miss a couple of games?
Speaker 1: There was, Yeah, there was to start Farniac in there,
Speaker 1: that's true. Maybe one day one of the one maybe
Speaker 1: one game. Yeah, I could look that up. I've got
Speaker 1: it right here. He McGovern missed the Cincinnati game and
Speaker 1: the Giants game, games two and three and uh that.
Speaker 1: But but you would count I mean if if the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: I don't know how many snaps they've had on offense
Speaker 1: so far, let's say they've had five hundred and fifty,
Speaker 1: So with Tyrn Smith alone, they've missed five hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty snaps. So and I'm looking at that because he
Speaker 1: was injured what before the season started, right, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: That's why I was looking at it. We're still intact
Speaker 1: what we started season with. We still have yeah minus Styron. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but the Vikings have the guys that they wanted in
Speaker 1: their all season and they still so it'll be interesting
Speaker 1: on Derris saw um because obviously what they're doing offensively
Speaker 1: and in the run game, it's uh, that offensive line
Speaker 1: is a big reason why that was. That was a
Speaker 1: pretty good guest. They've had five Hue offensive snaps. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But you know, when we talk about all the problems
Speaker 1: that we had and once again getting past the Packers,
Speaker 1: the only reason I don't want to get past them
Speaker 1: in this a moment, we ran the hell out of
Speaker 1: the ball. We have not even talked about how well
Speaker 1: we ran the ball. Do you know what else? The
Speaker 1: twenty eight points they scored was the second most the
Speaker 1: Bears tops. Yeah, right, the four hundred and twenty one
Speaker 1: yards totally tops. And you mentioned running the football without Zeke. Yes.
Speaker 1: And I don't even know if we brought up Malik
Speaker 1: Davis's name, but if it's not for a holding, I
Speaker 1: almost said it. He had another Davis had another sixteen
Speaker 1: yards in the act and he went for thirty eight
Speaker 1: on five carries as it was, Yes, yeah, yes, absolutely
Speaker 1: so put another sixteen. That's fifty four on six carries.
Speaker 1: I think that's about nine yards. You know you're you're
Speaker 1: looking at an offensive line that made that happen. Yes,
Speaker 1: And we have not talked nearly enough about that today
Speaker 1: about how well our offensive line has been playing, and
Speaker 1: look at the Chicago game, and they played very well
Speaker 1: in the Chicago game. And unfortunately on the fourth down
Speaker 1: play while whatever they called broke down and Dak had
Speaker 1: to hold the ball way too long when he tried
Speaker 1: to step up, he got hit as he was trying
Speaker 1: to throw the ball. Which even if that was his
Speaker 1: only choice that it was to Pollard, it wasn't going
Speaker 1: to get a first down. Well you know Pollock, Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe maybe it depends on what the what the linebacker
Speaker 1: if he was off balance or whatever, so that just
Speaker 1: want him to catch it. So Bill, four of the
Speaker 1: Cowboys five starting offensive lineman have played at least ninety
Speaker 1: nine point seven percent of the snaps. There you go
Speaker 1: four other three and then a government so and that
Speaker 1: to me that that's something that we need to that's
Speaker 1: what they need to hang their hats on, with the
Speaker 1: exception of your perennial Pro Bowl offensive tackle missing five
Speaker 1: ighty one snap so far, and we're still bawling, and
Speaker 1: we're still bawling on the offensive line. Yeah yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean they ran on the Packers, they ran on the Bears.
Speaker 1: They just didn't run at the right time. I would
Speaker 1: remember seeing some really good blocks by by Still and
Speaker 1: I thought he I think he's really been playing well
Speaker 1: this year when Pollock has gotten through that you can
Speaker 1: see him starting off with a double team and coming
Speaker 1: off and chipping a linebacker and just making room for
Speaker 1: Polo to go through. I think he's really playing exceptionally.
Speaker 1: He can get down field, he can't. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: he's playing really exceptionably very good point. Yeah, absolutely, What
Speaker 1: else do you have? Well, so do you think was
Speaker 1: on the couch? Do you think Zeke is uh? With
Speaker 1: two games in five days now, what's what are the
Speaker 1: chances on Zeke? I think they're they're improved over last week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: to play it at Minnesota at Minnesota and they don't
Speaker 1: the two games in five days. Let Thursday happen. When
Speaker 1: Thursday happened, Yeah, because if they're clearing him, that means
Speaker 1: he's not out there limping and he shouldn't re injure
Speaker 1: it right And if he is, then you know, the
Speaker 1: two guys that ran the ball last week did a
Speaker 1: pretty good job. And Polutely Endurance had had his season
Speaker 1: high and carries I think it was twenty. That's right,
Speaker 1: it had been fourteen, although I did see at one
Speaker 1: point he did tap out and well and then and
Speaker 1: then out right. Yeah, and here's the point. On two
Speaker 1: days in five days, it's not Zeke, But does Pollard
Speaker 1: need the relief? Right? With two games in five twenty
Speaker 1: two carries, So that's even more than he would honestly
Speaker 1: tell you this is new. Yeah, to have this kind
Speaker 1: of workload, I mean, it's obvious that it is. But
Speaker 1: to say that he's taking this and this not even
Speaker 1: giving him any type of you know, fatigue, that would
Speaker 1: be a lie, because, like you said, he had to
Speaker 1: tap out a couple of times just because he was
Speaker 1: so exhausted. It wasn't just that I made a long player, Hey,
Speaker 1: come get me out. No, he couldn't go another step
Speaker 1: those moments. And when you don't need him just to
Speaker 1: run the ball when he's tired, we need him picking
Speaker 1: up blitzes when he's tired. So you gotta be thinking, clearly,
Speaker 1: you can't be worried about fatigue, and he still needs
Speaker 1: that burst that separates him. Right. I'd love to see
Speaker 1: Zeke come in and soften things up for him, you know,
Speaker 1: I'd like to see that it was Zeke just goes
Speaker 1: and then ze Reckless abandoned. You know, the hole is there.
Speaker 1: You guys just don't see it. I see it, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make a hole. That's Zeke and with Pollo,
Speaker 1: you know all he needs to increase. So six of
Speaker 1: the carriers were in the fourth quarter, and really five
Speaker 1: because the last one he got was with nine seconds
Speaker 1: to go in the games, so they weren't going anywhere
Speaker 1: with that man in the fourth quarter drive. I should
Speaker 1: look at that because that was a long drive. One, two, three.
Speaker 1: Davis had one and that was that was it? Three
Speaker 1: carries in overtime Davis well, he had one that got canceled.
Speaker 1: Pollard had one that got canceled on the offensive offside. Hey,
Speaker 1: what do you think about that? Bill? What do you
Speaker 1: think about? Come on, what did you think about maybe
Speaker 1: maybe maybe they need to put the blue line on
Speaker 1: the field so they can see Bill? What did you
Speaker 1: think about that? I gotta hear this, man, When did
Speaker 1: you know what a line of scrimmage was as a kid?
Speaker 1: I'm just asking, man, when did you know as a
Speaker 1: kid what a lot of scrimmage was? I mean, how
Speaker 1: about what age yes started playing Irving YMCA football at
Speaker 1: age eight. Okay, okay, which is four years later than
Speaker 1: kids start playing these days. Oh yeah, I played eleven, yeah, eleven. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they started age three or four. Now, oh my god, yeah,
Speaker 1: did you have seventy three thousand people watching you? No? Now,
Speaker 1: was your big head off side? Just just some mean?
Speaker 1: Come on? Did you once line up off sides? I know?
Speaker 1: No ever? No ever? Yeah? I mean but pre snap,
Speaker 1: did you ever line up off side? I want to
Speaker 1: where your feet were off sides too, not just your head,
Speaker 1: but where your feet were lined up off side. I mean,
Speaker 1: he had to be looking at the defense. There's no
Speaker 1: way he was looking at the at the line. O. Man,
Speaker 1: come on, man, I just can't get over that. I
Speaker 1: just can't turn that. I never lined up off sides either.
Speaker 1: I cannot turn that page. Man, I cannot turn that page.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I saw it happening and then soon real time. Yes,
Speaker 1: they called it as they called it, And when he looked,
Speaker 1: he scooched back, but he always scooched back like two inches,
Speaker 1: and he almost got basically he was moving almost when
Speaker 1: the ball was snapped. So I was like, man, no, no,
Speaker 1: don't do this, man, don't do this and what you
Speaker 1: see there, you have a team that should be more
Speaker 1: poised while you're trying to redeem yourself. And that was
Speaker 1: redemption time. We're trying to keep the ball, we're trying
Speaker 1: to drive, were trying to make plays. This is the
Speaker 1: moment we talked about how stats are great, but moments
Speaker 1: are even greater, and that was a moment where you
Speaker 1: just totally crap the bed man He's like, come on, dude,
Speaker 1: this just makes no sense. I have a question for
Speaker 1: you before we go to break here. Which came first?
Speaker 1: The Green Bay logo or the Grambling logo? Man, come on, baby,
Speaker 1: which one looks better? The grambling looks better? Yeah, but
Speaker 1: which one was grambling? Was the Grambling logo first or
Speaker 1: the Green Bay? Well, probably the Grambling logo? And then
Speaker 1: the white folks stole him. You know, I'm saying the
Speaker 1: Packers started playing football in nineteen twenty one, I believe it. Well,
Speaker 1: college football has been around for one hundred and fifty years.
Speaker 1: Has grambling? Yes it has. I'm like, yeah, right, they
Speaker 1: weren't going to have a university for you guys. They start?
Speaker 1: When did they start? I believe it was twenty one?
Speaker 1: Oh damn uh now forty something was when handlers got there.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, because they weren't going to let you have
Speaker 1: a university. Oh no, it was a college college easy.
Speaker 1: I liked it a lot better. All right. If it
Speaker 1: was a zero, I mean, if it was all filled out,
Speaker 1: it would have been Oregon. Right. Yeah, see that's all
Speaker 1: you need to worry about. Okay, this is that's this
Speaker 1: is this is mine. Yeah all right, I just it
Speaker 1: bothered me the way they bothered me at first, when
Speaker 1: the way when I thought you had a green bay.
Speaker 1: See he's got on the middle of this is the way. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is the g thing you know that I can't help. Now,
Speaker 1: all right, go grambling and back with more mix shots
Speaker 1: in a moment. We paid how much for those lessons?
Speaker 1: She's doing great? Oh yeah, totally. Can you pass me
Speaker 1: a pepsi zero sugar? Great job, honey, Oh oh look
Speaker 1: at that. That's not the end, no way. Now it's
Speaker 1: time for the encore. You know what, You're right? Five
Speaker 1: times not enough times for everyone who traded in rock
Speaker 1: concerts for their kids recitals. You've compromised enough Pepsi zero sugar.
Speaker 1: That's what I like. Nobody protects you from Mayhem like

Speaker 1: car insurance, you might have to make it rain to
