This is Mick Shot 0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:21.160 screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the official 0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:25.840 Dallas Cowboys at now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Wolves, 0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:32.440 and Micky Spagnola, and it is another edition of Mick 0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:37.640 Shots on this Tuesday. I guess it's late in morning. 0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:42.080 I am Mickey Spagnola and joining me Everson Walls and 0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:46.600 Bill Jones should be along in a moment. He had 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:49.760 something going on, said he'd be cutting it real close. 0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:53.240 So we hope to have Bill as we go through 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:57.040 this next hour here on Dallas Cowboys dot Com. And 0:00:57.200 --> 0:01:02.640 I'm in the SWBC Mors Studio and Everson Walls was 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:07.120 in the Walls studio at home. How are you doing today? 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:15.680 The renovated, the renovated studio. We got our popcorn is gone, 0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:19.679 our popcorn gone. I'm onto the next phase, baby, I 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:22.600 am onto the next phase. And if it wasn't for 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:30.399 having such crappy games on Saturday, I probably still would 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:34.200 have been sitting here with popcorn hovering over me. But man, 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:37.520 it was so boring, you know. And plus, let's just 0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:40.640 be real man. I mean, I know we had a 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:43.320 team that was very average. I know that we didn't 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:47.040 do well when it came to you know, adversarial problems 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.840 and things of that nature. But you know, when your 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:53.080 team's not in it, it's just kind of hard to 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:58.000 stay extremely focused, especially in a Blowoutum well, I mean 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:02.320 it was somewhat low. I mean, I guess you weren't 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:08.680 engaged with Packers Rams. Is that what you're telling me? Yeah, 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:14.239 that's what I'm telling you. Once Aaron Donald went out, 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.079 you know, I kind of figured what was happening was 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:20.200 gonna happen. I mean, they actually made it somewhat interesting, 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:24.480 but you know, it was typical of what you expected 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:29.520 from the Packers. Aaron Rodgers is flawless. It's almost Aaron 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:32.440 Rodgers reminds me of Lebron James in regards to the 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:36.160 fact that he's playing a game within a game. You know, 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:39.320 there are times you think you have him under control, 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.480 you don't. He's just testing you. And that's what was 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.720 happening in the game. He was just picking and prodding 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:47.600 and just trying to figure out the best way he's 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:50.920 gonna beat you. Not if I can beat you, but 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:54.519 how I'm going to beat you because beating you is inevitable. 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:56.959 And that's the way it usually is with Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, 0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:59.400 and you know, and and the amazing thing about the 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:02.960 Packers is that you know they do it with um 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:07.119 I mean, I understand you know the wide receiver thing, right, 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:12.040 Uh you know that that uh you know, he's he's 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:16.119 basically uh has the opportunity to throw to Davante Adams. 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:19.880 But after that the wide receivers he's throwing too. Are 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:23.560 you serious? And they and they still you know, put 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:28.359 up almost five hundred yards of of of offense, uh, 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:30.720 you know, with with a guy night by the name 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:34.160 of Lazard and uh, what's the other guy's name that 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:39.480 has all the two last name Valdez Scandaling right, are 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:44.240 you kidding me? And and but the key thing to me, Everson, 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:47.160 was the fact that they they they came out saying, 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:49.360 we're gonna run the ball on you, by the way, 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:53.160 La Rams and and you know Donald or no, Donald, 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.720 we're running the football and they ran for what one 0:03:55.800 --> 0:04:02.960 hundred and eighty eight yards? That's clear. Now. Aaron Donald 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:06.440 came in, he was he was he was having issues 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:09.840 already coming into the game. I mean, let's let's just 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:13.080 be clear about that. I don't think a fully healthy 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:16.080 Aaron Donald they would have been able to handle him 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:20.480 consistently throughout the game. I get that. But when you 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:24.279 look at this team, if you're a professional wide receivers bags, 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:28.000 you know, I like it how people you know, guys 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:31.760 like good quarterbacks, they spread the ball around to different receivers. 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:35.839 Let's be real, now, if you made the pros as 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:39.880 a wide receiver, catching the ball shouldn't be that damn hard. Okay, 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:43.000 I mean, and if you're running in a zone wide open, 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:46.760 and it seems to be every wide receiver is wide 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:51.240 open all the time. The scheme itself is good, but 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.599 being able to catch a ball it's no big deal. Hell, 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:57.039 the first time they tried me back in back in 0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:00.520 nineteen eighty one, I crossed the ball, So catching the 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:03.200 ball is no big deal, you know. But as far 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:07.080 as I'm concerned, it's the system itself that has those 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:11.000 wide receivers just running through zones wide open all the time. 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:15.120 So as much as Aaron Rodgers is amazing, that system 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.760 itself seems to be working so well to where if 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.560 you're wide open, yeah, catch the ball, it's no big deal. 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:22.920 You've been doing it since you were ten years old. Well, 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:26.520 you know what the way Aaron Rodgers handed off to 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:30.360 Aaron Jones for ninety nine yards, I'm gonna hand off 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:37.560 Bill Jones because Bill is ready to join us. Nice, nice, 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:42.360 how y'all doing? We're good? How are you? What's going on? 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:44.920 William going? All right? I'm sorry. I'm a little late. 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:49.680 I had an appointment, and you know how that goes. No, 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.080 we don't know. We don't want to hear it. Nobody 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:55.640 wanted to hear my excuses out of you are now 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:59.000 the Everson Walls of this group. I left the office 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.920 at a level eight, and I was on track to 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:06.599 get here at my home office and be ready to 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.719 go in eleven thirty. But I didn't factor in the 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:13.839 I didn't factor in the trash pick up, and I 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:18.279 got stuck behind the trash pick up. Guys, a little 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:22.039 two lane road by my house. That's a good one, Bill, 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:32.280 I'm gonna use that. I'm I'm the trash man why 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:37.719 I didn't get here in time? And I tell you 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:42.760 the story about Lawrence Taylor said he was late to 0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:46.800 training camp practice, which is a quart of my walk 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:50.280 from the dog, from the locker room to the field, 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:54.160 and in between the field and the locker room, you know, 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:56.800 people actually walk and they actually have their cause on 0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:58.960 the little gravel road. So we all kind of me 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:02.240 Andrew I way on through, and so LT was late 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:05.440 for practice, and then Belichick asked him why. He said, traffic. 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:11.640 Traffic from the locker room to the field is what 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:15.280 held him up. So that's pretty good. So I don't 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.400 know if you remember. I don't know if you heard 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:21.000 Everson say he got bored watching the games on Saturday, 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.720 so he got the popcorn off the ceiling. Did you 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:28.760 get bored watching the games on Saturday? Well, you know, 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:31.360 I didn't watch a Saturday night game, mickey, because I 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:35.960 had a high school football state championship on Saturday night. 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:39.239 But I asked, I am familiar with what happened, though. 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:42.120 We could break down that high school game if you'd 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.600 like to, but we don't need to. I would, I would, 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:46.640 I ain't gonna lie. I would love to hear about 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:49.960 the high school game. Bill for real. It was the 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:53.720 Dodge Bowl and a Dodge I want to tell I 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:56.720 want to well, and a Dodge one, that's right. I 0:07:56.800 --> 0:08:00.480 want to tell the son that he needs to Well, 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:02.920 I won't get into that on the air. I'll tell 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:04.600 you off the air what I should tell the son 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:08.720 about the dad's team. Although all right there. You know, 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:14.560 RPOs are big at every level of football, from the 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:17.840 NFL on down to high schools. And and we're talking 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:21.280 about the Austin Westlake South Lake Carol game and Todd 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:24.440 Dodge won a sixth state championship. He was coaching against 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.600 his son, Riley Dodge, who's a thirty two year old 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:31.720 head coach at South Lake Carol. They called ineligible receiver 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:36.360 down field at least three times on the Austin team. 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:40.199 And but what it is, it's they run those RPOs. 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:44.040 And at the high school of you know, at the NFL, 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:47.920 you can't have a lineman downfield, okay, they may give 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:50.319 you the grace of a yard or who so around 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:54.400 the line of scrimmage anymore. But at the lower levels 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:59.959 they it is trickery at work here with these coaches 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:02.199 and running these RPOs. And what they do is they 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:05.840 teach their offensive linemen to stay low as if they're 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:09.240 run blocking, give the look of a run and they 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:13.839 get vanced downfield a little bit, okay, but they're throwing 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:17.160 the ball instead, and so it freezes those linebackers and 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:20.760 the safety where just you know, obviously all you got 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:22.199 to do that as for a split second and the 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:27.160 guy's running free behind you. I guarantee you the son 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:30.880 knew exactly what the dad does all the time, told 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:33.959 the officials before the game, this is what they do. 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:36.600 They called it three times, but I bet you they 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:41.960 did it about every pass play, and so Dad didn't care. 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:44.760 He's going up against son, and son was just as 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:49.360 competitive going up against dad. But it is interesting when 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:52.720 you talk about these RPOs or run pass option and 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:56.040 the way they do use their offensive linemen to try 0:09:56.120 --> 0:10:00.120 to disguise what they're doing a scheme wise offense of 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:02.800 ly and so I think it also relates to the 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:06.800 NFL level what you see at the lower level. Well, 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:09.960 that is tough enough just playing coaching against your dad, 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:14.600 you know, I think it's tough enough coaching against your son, 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:18.240 A coaching against your dad. I would never want to 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:21.520 do that if my son. My son is pretty good 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:23.640 at cracking on people all the time. He's a jokester, 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.280 and I think I'm pretty good too. But there's no 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:29.040 way that I can get into a trash talking deal 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:33.280 with my son. Eventually I would get too too deep, man, 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:35.000 you know what I mean? You know I would, I 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:37.000 would go for the juggular and then I would never 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:40.120 forgive myself for that. So I just couldn't. I couldn't 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:43.760 go against family, and that, you know, the the embrace 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:46.160 after the game was not that long. I think that 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:49.520 both these guys are so competitive. They both wanted to 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:52.920 win so badly. I mean, think about you, Everson, when 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:57.880 you have let's just say you're around your family holidays 0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:00.480 and you're playing board games or whatever. How can competitive 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:03.480 are you with your family plan? I'm as competitive my 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:06.400 my family. I'll tell you, I'm as I'm the most 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:09.920 competitive person going, and so it gets it gets heated 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:13.400 at times. I think with me, I know my limitations. 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:17.199 So I don't do board games. I don't. I don't 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:21.040 play them. I observe only because if I start getting 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:24.000 into it, then there's something that I can't I can't 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:27.559 pull away from, and feelings are going to get hurt 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:31.679 and and you know, wills are gonna be rewritten if 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.040 we start getting into it too deep. You know what 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:37.240 I'm saying. And you can only imagine what Mickey is like. 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:46.240 Mickey would pull protests. Mickey would protest a loss problem her. 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:48.920 You should have, you should have. You should have seen 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:52.880 some of the basement ping pong games my sister and 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:55.320 I got into because I taught her how to play, 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:58.200 and I probably taught her a little too well, and 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:00.520 I had to play hard. You know, you you start 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:03.960 off playing left handed just to you know, become a competitive. 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:06.360 Then I'm playing right handed, and it's like, oh, I 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:11.480 guess I gotta go here now I got one story, 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:13.520 I got one story, and my sister's gonna kill me. 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:15.960 I was sitting with my best friend with about fifteen 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.520 years old. I'm the youngest in the family and we're 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:21.760 playing Dominos. Now, you know, when it comes to Domino's, 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:25.440 you gotta talk trash, and I don't think my sister 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:28.720 understood that, right. So she's older than me, So of 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:33.160 course I domino and I'm slapping it down. I'm talking trash. 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:36.240 I'm on your backs, let's go blah blah blah. I said, 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:38.160 I was, I killed you, and I was in her 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:41.360 face like that, and she just calmly put her dominos 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:46.960 down and slapped me right across my face. That is 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:52.000 the last time I played any games with family. So 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:55.360 you just gotta learn, you gotta learn. Hey, Everson, I 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:58.319 got a story just like that. This is my nephew, Will, 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:00.960 who's now twenty five twenty six years old, but this 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:02.800 was when he was about five or six years old. 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:06.160 We're out here in my house. Here, my office. Here, 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:08.960 it's above the garage. He overlooks the driveway. We've got 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:12.200 a basketball goal out there. All right. We're playing two 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:17.599 unto It's me and my brother in law, and I 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:19.839 can't remember the teams, but anyway, Will, the five or 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.760 six year old, was on the other team. Well, we 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:26.160 win the game. I'm jumping around in the driveway, up, 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:30.680 up and down. I'm going yes, yes, yes, Will. He's 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:34.200 five years old. He comes charging at me and with 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:37.920 this fist puts it right where it hurts the most. 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:46.280 Where did he learn? Back? Where did he learn? So 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:50.320 that that's how competitive it is around here. So case 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:52.480 in point on all that, you can only imagine what 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:55.839 it's what it's like when it's your livelihood, it's your profession, 0:13:55.960 --> 0:14:00.840 and you you uh that father son stuff out the window. 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:03.360 I'm trying to beat that guy that could go off 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:07.040 for years, by the way, off for years that rivalry. 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:13.120 Yeah yeah, so anyway, um, but uh yeah, the whole 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:18.520 RPO thing though, with the it's very interesting how it's changed. 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:23.800 You know, football is ever evolving strategy wise, and um 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:29.120 and I think on this, uh you know, the ineligible 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:33.560 receiver downfield stuff, that it's a five yard penalty right now, 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:35.400 I think it needs to be a ten yard penalty 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:39.000 just to to because it is basically it should be 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:42.560 the same as holding because you're basically holding the linebacker 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:46.680 in safety from being able to do their job because 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:52.240 you're doing something uh illegal to keep them at bay. 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:55.280 And so watch for it when you're when we're watching games. 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:59.920 How many times that offensive coordinators get away with the 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:04.080 a lineman downfield on those RPO plays. Well, that would 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:07.080 that would be Baltimore would be one of those teams. 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:10.480 There you go that I had to deal with that well, 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:13.400 making other teams deal with that, because you know, when 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:15.440 you're looking at Lamar Jackson, you're looking at the best 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:20.600 RPO quarterback probably in history, especially with the speed. And 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.440 once again we were I was kind of disappointed in 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:28.320 his lack of passing prowess this year, especially after the 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:31.080 improvements that he made last year which got him the 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:34.320 MVP Trophy. He didn't get the MVP Trophy for just 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:37.240 being able to run the ball. He got the trophy 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:41.240 because he was able to show his improvement in passing 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:43.400 the ball, which, by the way, was I the only 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:47.800 one to pick the Bills doing that game? Yeah, I know, 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:50.000 I picked, uh, you know my pick. My pick was 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:52.480 I think I went with Baltimore. I went with Everson 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:57.680 so I would get a mollary disappointment now and missed 0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:02.680 the Saints. Okay, yeah, you missed the Saints. Oh you 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:05.600 had you had the Saints. Yeah, Now, I was just 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:11.440 I was just disappointed. I was very disappointed in Baltimore's offense. 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:14.320 I really was. Defensively, they did it the best they could, 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:18.680 but offensively, those same demons came back to haunt them. 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:23.080 And you know, otherwise, the Sunday games were good. I 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:27.000 really enjoyed the Sunday games, but Saturday a little bit disappointing. 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:30.240 Let's get into that when we come back in a moment. 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:33.760 Hot sports opinion about the Cleveland Browns at the end 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:36.560 of that game, and I would like to know what 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.600 analytics says about a certain decision that was made towards 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:42.320 the end of that game with the Browns head coach, 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:45.640 and we got much more to get into.

Today, talking 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:30.320 about divisional playoff weekend, what happened on Saturday, And let's 0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:33.320 turn our attention to Sunday a little bit. And of 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:37.120 course you had the great quarterback matchup on Sunday night 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:40.680 with Breeze against Brady, and then the early game you 0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:45.119 had Mayfield against Mahomes. Mahomes gets hurt and Chad Henney 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:48.119 winds up winning that game for the Chiefs in the 0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:51.080 final minutes with a scramble and then a fourth down 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:55.640 play to Tyreek Hill to seal the deal. But let's 0:19:55.680 --> 0:20:00.800 talk about the Browns, and they're just insion with four 0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:04.040 and a half minutes to go in the game to 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:07.400 punt the football away, and I believe that at least 0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:12.600 used one of their timeouts at that point, and I 0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:17.960 just think it was a critical mistake for Kevin Stefanski 0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:21.800 to punt the ball away. And even though it was 0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:24.320 fourth and nine or whatever it was, and your own 0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:28.120 end of the field. But considering the fact that you're 0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:33.880 only down five points, and okay, you're asking your defense 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:36.560 by punting the ball away, you got to get a 0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:41.000 stop because basically one, maybe one first down, but for 0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:43.679 sure two first downs wins the game for the Chiefs, 0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:47.800 and you're asking your defense they got to get a stop. Well, 0:20:47.880 --> 0:20:51.800 let's say that you don't get the first down on 0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:55.760 your fourth down play, and now you have you're basically 0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:58.000 having to ask your defense to do the exact same 0:20:58.119 --> 0:20:59.960 thing you're asking them. If you're punting the ball away, 0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:03.080 you limit them to a field goal, and you're only 0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:05.880 down one score. Still it's still an eight point game, 0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:10.080 and so I think the risk of putting the ball 0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:13.480 away doesn't match up with the reward of going forward 0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:16.000 on that fourth down play. I just thought it was 0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:18.880 a huge mistake. And I don't know what analytics would 0:21:18.880 --> 0:21:22.000 say about something like that, but I think there was 0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:24.600 a huge mistake not to go for it on that 0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:27.640 fourth down play by by Cleveland. What do y'all think? Well, 0:21:27.760 --> 0:21:30.720 the other the other part of that is, and you 0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:36.119 knew that when Kansas City got the ball, so they 0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:39.080 were going to either get the ball because they were 0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:42.520 facing a fourth and nine at Cleveland was facing the 0:21:42.600 --> 0:21:45.840 fourth and nine at their thirty two. So say you 0:21:46.359 --> 0:21:50.840 picked up seven yards or six yards, they're going to 0:21:50.880 --> 0:21:53.800 be in field goal range right away, like you said. 0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:58.200 But the other factor is, okay, they're playing with a 0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:02.439 backup quarterback now all so, so I think you had 0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:05.160 to factor that in to not get and they only 0:22:05.240 --> 0:22:08.160 had one more time out left, Bill They had used 0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:11.159 their second one in that series, and that was the 0:22:11.240 --> 0:22:15.720 critical thing. If they had three timeouts left, okay, but 0:22:15.960 --> 0:22:18.439 in this league, with the timing rules in the NFL, 0:22:18.680 --> 0:22:21.040 if you've got less than three, especially if you only 0:22:21.119 --> 0:22:23.680 got one, you got to treat that that it's basically 0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:25.480 two and a half minutes left of the game out 0:22:25.520 --> 0:22:28.480 four and a half minutes left. Yeah, absolutely, And you 0:22:28.560 --> 0:22:30.639 know they had it set up they I mean, they 0:22:30.680 --> 0:22:34.840 had them third and four and they allowed to Henny 0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:38.200 to throw the little short pass two was it Darryl 0:22:38.240 --> 0:22:41.440 Williams for five yards in the first down, And that's 0:22:41.480 --> 0:22:44.160 what really killed the game right there, because then all 0:22:44.240 --> 0:22:47.000 you had was the two minute warning left, and you know, 0:22:47.080 --> 0:22:49.560 and even if you had stopped him on fourth and one, 0:22:50.200 --> 0:22:53.600 all right, you know you still got only a minute 0:22:53.640 --> 0:22:56.800 fourteen to go, precious little time. Yeah, yeah, so yeah, 0:22:57.040 --> 0:22:59.359 I was. I was a little surprised they punted it 0:22:59.440 --> 0:23:05.399 at that time. Actually, I wasn't surprised. I think just 0:23:05.520 --> 0:23:08.440 based on what you said, Spact, you had the backup quarterback. 0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:11.760 I'm sure Stefanski was looking at that and saying, Okay, 0:23:12.280 --> 0:23:14.440 this is our opportunity that he was trying to be 0:23:14.560 --> 0:23:18.639 strategic in that regard. If my homes would have been quarterbacking, 0:23:19.080 --> 0:23:21.560 then they would have been a totally different story. His 0:23:21.880 --> 0:23:25.159 decisions would have been a little bit more dire. They 0:23:25.200 --> 0:23:27.199 would have, you know, had a little bit more panic, 0:23:27.880 --> 0:23:29.679 a little bit more panic to them, a little more 0:23:29.760 --> 0:23:33.159 sense of urgency to me. Like Spack said, it was 0:23:33.240 --> 0:23:36.080 working out just the way they thought it would. You 0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:38.560 gotta backup quarterback. You have him on what was the 0:23:38.680 --> 0:23:42.440 thirty four Yeah, I'm thinking I'm gonna bet on my defense. 0:23:42.760 --> 0:23:45.120 I have a hell of a defense in Cleveland. I'm 0:23:45.160 --> 0:23:47.080 gonna I'm sorry, i have a hell of a defense there, 0:23:47.080 --> 0:23:50.680 and I'm gonna I'm gonna go with with my strength 0:23:50.800 --> 0:23:54.800 at this point. We're gonna be strategic. We're gonna forget 0:23:54.840 --> 0:23:57.920 the analytics. We're just gonna go with what's traditional. You 0:23:58.080 --> 0:24:00.960 just don't go for fourth down that keep in your territory. 0:24:01.320 --> 0:24:03.760 I know that's what he was thinking, and he couldn't 0:24:03.800 --> 0:24:08.000 justify that, especially when you start looking at the criticisms 0:24:08.560 --> 0:24:12.720 and just with us here in regards to going forward 0:24:13.240 --> 0:24:15.760 on fourth down, it may not be a fake punt, 0:24:16.320 --> 0:24:19.199 but going forward kind of deepen your own territory. They 0:24:19.280 --> 0:24:22.600 just looked at that as a quicker death as opposed 0:24:22.640 --> 0:24:27.080 to what happened, uh eventually to where they kind of 0:24:27.160 --> 0:24:29.920 drew it out and at least had a chance to 0:24:30.119 --> 0:24:32.080
