It was three. 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:43.680 That's on my pay roll, right, cut it on. Yeah, 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:47.280 you're right, you're right.

Hey, man, 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:53.880 this is great, got the go ahead and tied him 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:58.880 to man. Sure it's tight. He I am new, He Scruggs. 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:01.120 We're gonna talk Cowboys as they get ready to face 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:04.680 the Washington football team, who plays tonight. So I mean 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:06.720 this is this is kind of cool. All right. So 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:08.760 it's a holiday season. I know some people are off 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:10.800 on vacation right about now, but it's not a bad 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:12.720 way to spend your night, is it? Checkout some football 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:14.239 and now was were not enough scoring in the games 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:18.680 last night? Okay the games last night. No, nobody scored 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:21.200 more than seventeen points in these games last night. But 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:26.360 uh still good to watch football. So Washington taking off Philadelphia. 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:29.160 I think Philly wins it tonight. I think Jayalen Hurt's 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:30.880 gonna be back here. I just think this team is 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:33.359 that they've gotten better. Yeah, they're getting next seriality the 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:35.320 rookie head coach to credit. They've gotten better. They started 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:36.400 to see a little bit of what they do but 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:38.880 Washington and Philly bow six and seven football teams. So 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:41.480 give me Philly to win the night, and that's pretty 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.040 much gonna effectively end Washington. I'm taking Philly as well. 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:47.680 And um so if if if Philly wins, the Cowboys clinch, 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:49.600 is that how it works? Okay? So I got definitely 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:52.360 got Philly going. Um, I've seen Jalen Hursts out there. 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.880 Christ Oh wait, wait, it's not okay, So how do 0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:57.760 we clinch? They have to tie. They have to tie 0:03:57.800 --> 0:03:59.920 in order for us to clinch. Yes, well that's not 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.240 gonna happen this afternoon. So I'm gonna go ahead say 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:05.920 Philly's gonna take the game to actually clanch or that 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:09.760 at the tide of the name. Okay, And we were 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:12.640 still checking on on your on if double Gs pay 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:15.160 me the quarterback tonight? Hey, y'all tell you right now, 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:18.320 y'all better hope double hain't in there. He can't sleep 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:22.120 on him than Joe Pittsburgh game man. And I mean 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.640 just so happy I'm not the only one that said 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:28.320 I've been the only one on this on this podcast 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:31.240 talking about Double G and how he came and was 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:34.000 he was. He was a piece against Pittsburg. I mean 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.280 the man walked into the huddle, you know, like he 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:40.839 had been playing Joe Preach, Preach Babe. I'm sitting there ready, Brake, 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:43.320 let's go. Then let's go. Then you heard the man 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:45.119 was in the huddle. The man was in the huddle 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:47.320 with Double Man. You know, I wish Danny was here 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:50.159 for this because I've been telling cats since Double Jet 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:52.440 and first started that the guy has what it takes. Yeah, 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:55.400 he does what it takes. Let's just let the listener. So, 0:04:55.600 --> 0:05:00.840 Gary Gilbert, Garret GiB I'm sorry, y'all. Snap. Yes, So 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.440 Taylor Heineke and case Keenum may not play tonight, so 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:07.600 we gotta figure that whole COVID situation now with them. 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:09.840 But but if if they're not going, then it's gonna 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:12.920 be Garrett Gilbert kind of like what we saw in Cleveland. Um, 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.640 with the Nickland situation, it was Keenam who was up there. 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:17.560 I'm sorry. With Cleveland, it was it was Baker Mayfield 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:20.520 Keendam who couldn't play Cleland Nick lands win. So over 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:23.160 there with UM in Washington got they got this. So 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:25.360 let's see, let's see. But I personally, I don't care. 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.200 I don't think it doesn't matter who the quarterback is. 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:29.320 I just think I like what Philadelphia is doing, right. 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.000 I think Philadelphia wins his football game here and they 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:35.920 get to six and um seven six, they're both six 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:39.000 and seven, so yeah, yeah, seven and seven. So um, 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:41.240 it's a lot to go with. I'm still waiting on 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:43.400 this song. Gonna update here, man, because like a fantasy 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:49.680 guy's going to night, fantasy team changes everything. Man, say yes, yes, yeah, 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.359 A great ad for the for for the game, the football. 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:54.760 It's a fantastic they just keep making money. It gets 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:56.880 it gets every gets you in there watching every game, 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:00.279 no matter what's going on. But now I see why 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.000 fans of the game get so, you know, pissed off 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.159 at these players because they're like, man, and I'm one 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:06.960 of them now, so I'm over there, like, why aren't 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:09.279 you giving it? It's third and one. Pass the ball 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:11.160 to this guy. He needs these stats, man, I mean, 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:13.720 I understand, but it's it's definitely it gets you involved 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.200 in the game once again. Man, It's it's fun. Yeah, 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:19.560 it is being a spectator of the game. I don't 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.880 know if it's just the football mind, but seeing it 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.560 and you're going through all the situations. I mean, every 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:27.440 every game I've watched this year, and you get into 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:30.400 you know, halftime two minute or into the game two minute, 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:33.680 I'm sitting there bank of time. You know, I'm in there. 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.000 I'm in I'm in the liver room. My wife's sitting 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:38.159 there watching me, and she's like, what's the matter with you? 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:41.200 And I'm like, another opportunity right there? What do we 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:43.680 do with? Coach? Come on? It is crazy how you 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.520 can see, like from the coach's perspective, Like when I 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:48.800 was playing, I didn't see the little things. I'm like, man, 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:50.960 why didn't this guy just play high to low? Or 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:53.200 like why didn't this guy take this angle or that angle? 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:54.960 And as you you see it from you know, the 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:57.839 fans perspective and in the coach's perspective, it's the game 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:00.200 simplifies a lot. But when you're on that field, I mean, 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:02.320 you just see things going one hundred miles an hour. 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:03.919 You know, Man, I wish I would have done that. 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:05.800 I wish I would have done this. So it's it's 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:07.599 definitely a different take on the game when you're on 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:10.239 this side of the ball. No question, Cowboys are sitting 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:12.520 at the number two seeds, green Bay is sitting at 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:15.840 the one seed. Green Bay almost got beat by Baltimore 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:20.200 on Sunday, And what what what's your belief level that 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:23.280 the Cowboys can get to the number one seed. Joe'll 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.440 lead us up. Well, I definitely, I definitely think the 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:28.440 Cowboys are sitting in a great place right now. When 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:32.040 when when you when you're in control of your own destiny. 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:34.840 Always felt like that that's the best place you can 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:37.680 be as a football team. And you no matter what 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:40.320 happens with the game tonight, you know, Chris said, you know, 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:42.920 if the Cowboys win one more, you know they clinched 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:46.040 the division. I always thought that was the most important 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.680 thing as a football player, that we control what's going on. 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:52.960 And as we see the NFL's it's it's it's up 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:57.520 and down. I mean, the racist wide open, so you 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:00.840 never know what's gonna happen. I thinks as long as 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:04.240 you show up, you play, and do what you gotta do, 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:08.200 good things are gonna happen. You know. My dad was 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:10.360 a huge preacher of you know, hey, just go out 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:12.360 there and work hard. And I'm the same way and 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:14.840 everything I do. Go out there and work hard, do 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:17.080 what you gotta do, and the Chips are gonna fall 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:18.960 where you want them to fall, without a doubt. And 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:21.400 I like what the boys are as well, because right 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:23.640 now we're with the two seeds. Yes, And you know, 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:25.560 I had it both ways. I've had that number one 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:27.320 seed where you get that first round by and then 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:29.200 I've had the you know, lower seed where you gotta 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.280 play through the wild card and go um. And I 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:33.640 kind of like that wild card approach. I like, you know, 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:35.599 going from straight from the end of the season to 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:38.040 going straight into the playoffs. I like that style because 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:39.839 when you had that bye week and and I had 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:43.240 to hear what the Cowboys leave sixteen. We had that 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:46.280 bye week, we're rolling. The momentum just kind of dissipated 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.200 as we took that bye week, and the next thing 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:50.800 you know, Green Bay comes into town. They beat us, 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:54.079 Aaron Rod just beat us, perfect, thank you, thank you. Okay, 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:56.640 So he's excited because I go back to I go 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.720 back to that. Okay, First off, that was a super 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:02.959 Bowl team sixteen, yes, yeh, thirteen and three. That was 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:04.719 a super Bowl team. And in in fact, then Quinn's team 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:06.760 ended up going to Super Bowl because the Cowboys had 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:09.800 lost from the number one Sea. It felt like watching 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:12.240 it in the press box that the Cowboys were not 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:15.480 ready for that football game. Were green Bay got out 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:17.480 to the big league and then of course in second half, 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:20.440 all right, now here the Cowboys going. But it just 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:22.200 felt like to me that that was where the game 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:24.320 was lost because the team wasn't ready to go. Since 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:26.480 you guys were there, you tell me, am I crazy. Now, 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:28.600 I don't think you're crazy at all. One were we 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:31.000 were a young team. I mean offensively, we were led 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:33.600 by rookie Dak and rookie Zeke out there. So we 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:35.760 were a young team going into it, and we had 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:39.040 that momentum going. We were playing playing, playing, playing plan boom, 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.360 we take that break, and like I said earlier, kind 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:43.400 of that momentum just kind of dissipated from us. And 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:45.560 like you said, we started slow. We started extremely slow 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:47.640 against Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers. They were ready for the game, 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:49.640 they were prepared, and he went out to a twenty 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.000 one three league early. Just like that. Now, the second 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:54.120 half turned around a little bit. You know, offense got 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.280 their things going, defense finally picked it up and we 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:58.199 were able to hold them the three points. I think 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.480 was it three points or ten points. Ever was that 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:04.000 whole second half. So we were rolling, but that first 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:05.800 half we just started too slow. So that's why I 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:10.040 like that approach to where you go straight from week seventeen, sixteen, 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.040 whatever it is, straight to the wild card, and I 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:14.079 think that'd benefit this team coming up as well. So 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:18.680 when that happens, Joe, what is it is that players? 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.160 Is that coaching? How does that happen that you get 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:23.880 this time off? You're the number one seed, You've been 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:26.360 playing well all season long, and you're at home and 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:28.920 you're down twenty one. I think it takes an effect 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:31.440 on both the players and the coaches, you know, because 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:34.199 if you think about a regular buye week, you know, 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:37.520 you really kind of get into that relaxed mode. You 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:40.559 kind of got nothing on your mind. You're not thinking 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:44.880 about football, and when you're when you're playing in the NFL, 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:47.920 football has got to be on your mind all the time, 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:51.080 you know. Even you know, I tell everybody now that 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:56.120 I'm retired, you know, I tell everybody, even even if 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:59.360 you're even if you're at home with your family, you're 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:02.120 not really there because you're constantly thinking about what you 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:04.720 got to do in the game. Checks all this stuff. 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:07.000 You know, football is just on your mind, and when 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:10.679 you get that bye week, you kind of you relax, 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:14.560 and you relax too much, and you kind of get 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:18.240 that lax of daisical, you know, kind of feeling. You know, 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:21.080 you're not around the guys in the locker room anymore, 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:23.800 you're not talking ball. So I think that bye week 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.199 definitely affects you. It definitely does. And I mean I've 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:28.560 been a part of teams where we've had that bye 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:30.880 week a couple of times. You know. I remember, you know, 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:32.960 when I played for San Francisco we went to the 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:35.640 Super Bowl. You know, we had that bye week, and 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:39.600 I mean it's you know, it's like a little mini offseason. 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:42.319 Which super Bowl was that in San Francisco? That was 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:47.040 the one that was the Baltimore Oh yeah, yeah. I 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.040 was there at that game. Man. That was that's when 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.120 they turned the lights on. Dude. It was lights went 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:58.040 out thereon. Dude, she stole it. Literally, I was. I 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:00.680 was in the it was the Westwood one, NBC Sports 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:02.839 Radio wise in their sweet the lights were not ducking. 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:06.440 I was getting low, man. You see the players on 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:08.400 the field, they were got low to man. That gotta 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:11.120 scared you. Know what I mean, especially you know at 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:13.960 a big event like that, everything going on in the world. 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:15.680 That was scary. Man, that was scared. But that was 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:18.080 that was a that was a fun week. That was 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:20.480 a fun nick. That was a good game, man, And 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:25.559 didn't write the end. I man, that was that was 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:28.959 I if they threw if they threw the flag on 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:31.839 that on that final play, I just said, that's fine. Yeah, 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.000 I wouldn't have complaining. It was they were both hand 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:36.600 fighting and and yeah, that was a tough call right there. 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:42.000 It was. It just seemed like it felt like defensively, 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:46.000 that's flag. Yeah, and they didn't want to call a 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:47.960 flag in the Super Bowl on the final play at 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:51.240 that moment. Yeah, but it was definitely did I watched 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:53.480 it because I picked ball toward the win, but I thought, man, 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:55.440 that was warranted. Yeah. It was all over him. He 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:57.400 was grabbing, holding, hand fighting, they were, they were going 0:12:57.440 --> 0:12:59.000 at it. But when we talked about, you know, these 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:01.439 cowboys in that fort, have we ever had success with 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:02.960 a first round because you think about a go if 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:04.760 you go back to the Witning in Romo year, I 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:06.800 think they were thirteen and three had that first round 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:08.480 by I think it was twenty eleven or something like that, 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:11.400 and York ended up coming up and beating them down. 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:13.200 So I mean, you know, I'm a fan of just 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:17.280 playing it through. I feel like that momentum that was 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:20.000 Waite Philips team, and then the other one was was 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:22.040 Jason Garrett's and then so you really kind of have 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:25.280 to go back into the Jimmy Johnson years where I 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:30.160 remember that it was in the best regular season game 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:32.320 I ever saw from EMMT Smith was against the Giants 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.440 and they needed to win the game to secure the 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:37.800 first round. By Emmett basically, you know, to our shoulder. 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:39.720 I remember that game. He kept on playing and was 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:43.120 in Jimmy giving the ball and up and one of 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:45.280 the things Jimmy said, we needed to get this win 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:47.760 so we could go where we wanted to go, meaning 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:51.000 we needed to buy get everybody rested up, and then 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:53.920 get ourselves going to the super Bowl. But what listening 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.880 to you guys is, hey, you can't treat it a 0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.839 playoff by week like a regular season by This is 0:13:59.880 --> 0:14:02.400 a work week. We just don't have to go play 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:04.240 So we've got to treat it like a work week. 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:07.680 And and everybody got to under listening to you guys, 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:10.280 gotta gotta gotta keep your head in it. Because I 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:12.640 talked to one of the assistant coaches who said it 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.280 was a sai it was a massive failure. He said, Man, 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:17.040 we said that was just a massive failure. Said that 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.000 was a super Bowl team. You don't get many thirteen 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:21.480 and three teams in your lifetime, he said. He said, 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:23.480 we failed on a lot of funds. And one of 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:24.960 the things he was saw about his coaches like we 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:28.160 we failed, um to get guys where where they needed 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:29.680 to be. Said, that was just too good of a 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:32.120 football team to come out with that kind of effort. 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:35.760 And um that I'm telling you, man, just just me. 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:37.960 I was one of those like I'm not even playing 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.680 and I was deflated because it was like, man, yeah 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:43.560 it was. I was a hard loss. It was it was. 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:46.200 It was so much good on that twenty sixteen It 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:49.280 was so much good. And to see it in that way, Um, 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:52.440 didn't watch the Packers the next week go down to 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:55.440 Atlanta and basically die and get smacked. Yeah, it's like 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:59.600 that same that same throw Aaron Rodgers made to a cook. Yeah, 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:02.120 the same one he made. You know, he dropped it, yea, 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:05.400 And I was just like in the field goal that 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:07.800 Crosby kicked at and it was like ding dingk think 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:11.160 I just went in. It was just like oh man, yeah, 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:12.720 I was on the field for that too, just watched it. 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:16.080 Give us some of that, give us a little bit, 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:20.240 like just a little bit. Now, your hope is since 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:22.200 Mike McCarthy was a part of that team, then a 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:25.760 part of the Death's Catch, and then maybe Mike McCarthy 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:30.880 Cowboys can get that mojo and and and carry it 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:33.840 for for for the players, that's your hope. But he's 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:36.280 got that experience out about that Dad's catch. Man, we 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:41.920 got right McCarthy to rob does a lot man thick 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:44.880 get up here in the players. Here's the thing I 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:48.120 keep saying to people about that. Okay, death catches the ball, 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:51.840 they score, Aaron still getting the ball back he is, 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:54.080 but we still got an hot though. And you know 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:56.200 what happens when Aaron Rodgers gets the ball back gets 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:59.240 the Cowboys. Everybody dies. This this this could have been 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:01.560 amazing to start crime, but I would have wished it 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:04.000 had the opportunity to at least see you play it out. 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:07.440 At least you got you gotta go beat us. Yeah, yes, no, 0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:09.880 beat us. Man, it's just I hate to harp on 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:11.840 all the stuff, but man, the guy had it in 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.240 his hands. It was it took two steps and reached forward. 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:17.040 I mean, it's just, man, I mean, clearly it was 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:19.840 a catch. Coach, it was. I mean it was it was. 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:22.200 And and look, Mike, Mike, throw the flaight, you had 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:26.040 to throw the I don't know, I don't And and 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:28.600 for the NFL to to go ahead and change the round. 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:32.400 But unfortunately they've done a lot of that. Yeah, we 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:34.240 look at look at the Saints in that Rams game, 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:37.280 the inittually championship games. I mean, the league has come 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:41.160 up with some Wait what we actually benefited from a 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:45.440 from a crazy call that year when hitching, which you 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:48.080 know what's funny you say that because I remember watching 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:51.560 you know, they give it, they take it when it's 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:54.920 when it's for you, though, I can't what a call 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:59.000 that way to pick it up. Yes, so I'm in 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:00.880 the press, who I get ready on they about the 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:04.000 Lions are about to beat him, and so I'm going back, Okay, 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:07.160 this is gonna be. That's because the Lions to beat 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:08.959 the Cowboys in nineteen ninety one. I'm like, okay, here 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:12.080 for some reason, the Lions get the got the Cowboys 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:14.040 number right right, and get ready to write my whole thing. 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:18.520 And then you're saying that that was shot. That was there, man, 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:22.600 that was sh pleasantly shot. Yes, yes, I picked it up. 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:27.040 And and maybe maybe the Cowboys can get in the playoffs. 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:28.879 Get a little bit of help, because somewhere along the 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:31.040 way you do need just a little a little bit 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:33.880 of help along the way to go to go where 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:38.040 you want to go.
