Speaker 1: Cowboys reported joined by two former Dallas Cowboys players, Danny

8
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 1: McCray and Barry Church. All Right, the Cowboys showed fight,

9
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: they showed some guts. They lose to the Steelers, but

10
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: it was all the way down to the last second

11
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: of the football game before it was decided. Cowboys lose

12
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: twenty four to nineteen. And let's go ahead and get

13
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: this on out the way. Barry Church seems to think

14
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: that that, you know, he really was, you know, so

15
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: close that he wants his kudos here. So let's give

16
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: it to Barry here. Church had it twenty four to

17
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: fourteen Steelers. I had it thirty eight thirteen. Pittsburgh DMAC

18
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: had a forty two to ten um Steels. So go ahead, Barry,

19
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: go ahead, and kind of victory lap because you got

20
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: to spread, right man. I mean, look, I'm not gonna

21
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: gloat too much on this beautiful monday. Um. You know,

22
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: the you know, the breeze is falling out there, the

23
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: sun's out. You know. I wish I would have got

24
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: on the golf course today. This was a perfect golf

25
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: course day. But it was it was a little hectic

26
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: morning in the church household. We had to go to

27
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: places and get passports and all this other stuff. So

28
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: we're moving and shaking a little bit this morning. But

29
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's a beautiful day. It's a beautiful day.

30
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: And knew you bring up no stra domins. You know,

31
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna say nothing. I was just gonna, you know,

32
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: let the show go. But but since you brought you know,

33
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: since you brought up my superpowers I have, you know,

34
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: I had to take it to the spread because usually,

35
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: you know, I just guess the win losses. That's where

36
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: my powers end. But you know, mccraig and the captain

37
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: of the Haters Club knew we over there, they always

38
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: you know, talking about no, the spread, the spread, the spread.

39
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: I was all right, you know what, let me go

40
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: ahead and take my powers to the spread. So I

41
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: did it. You know, I had to do what I

42
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: had to do. I knew what was going to happen

43
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: in this game. I knew that the quarterback was going

44
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: to be able to lead us to a close game.

45
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: Now I had it wrong. I thought Cooper Rush was

46
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: gonna be the guy to lead us to a close game,

47
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: but it ended up being Garrett Gilbert. And I wish

48
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: we had the playback of last week because what I said,

49
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: And you guys both laughed at me. Y'all just said,

50
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,399
Speaker 1: I'll just dude's crazy. But I said, the only way

51
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys would have a chance is if they

52
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: spread these guys out all over the field and let

53
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: the quarterback throw the ball down the field, throw a

54
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: vertical and attack the secondary. Everybody laugh, Man, they can't

55
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: block that front. Man, you're crazy. They're gonna get this stray.

56
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: You're talking about throwing the ball. I just said, okay,

57
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: all right, you know we'll see what happens, and glow

58
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: and behold. Gary Gilbert went out there, executed the game playing,

59
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: executed the game plan precisely. I gotta get kudos to

60
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: my boy came more because he he came he came

61
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: to he came to play the other day. He dialed

62
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: it up nicely. He had a nice balance of running past.

63
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: But overall, I mean it was it was. It was

64
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: a day for no Stredamas. You know, That's all I

65
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: got to say. Are you done? Are you done that?

66
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: How long did that go? Are you done? Let you're

67
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: talking about See, I wasn't even gonna bring it up.

68
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: I was not gonna go ahead. I was gonna sit

69
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: here and just say, you know what, let me knock

70
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: it up. But you do you have your no Paan

71
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: Newy Yes, right, So so that handy dad out so

72
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: to that, to that, to that horrible record that church

73
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: has because since he's no Stredamins, just add a one

74
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: to the to the to the win column and see

75
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: if I didn't say anywhere near five hundred. But then

76
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: I did not just put him anywhere. Knew he did?

77
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: I say six and ten at the end of the season,

78
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: Did you say six and ten? Let me go back

79
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: to the November nobber when we when we did, when

80
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: we did the reset, I believe I went six and

81
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: ten and y'all laughed at my record, and I gave

82
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: y'all the winds that we're gonna get. I gave y'all

83
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: the winds we're gonna hit, and y'all thought about y'alls

84
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: out there laughed at me. I'm telling you it's coming.

85
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: I'm still laughing, Yared, Gilbert's coming. I'm still laughing. Gilbert,

86
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: it's coming, laughing, double g, double g. He's coming. Man.

87
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: Just just wait on it, just wait on it. Knew it,

88
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: knew it, knew it. Remember remember remember remember as Church

89
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: is talking, what he specifically said was the only way

90
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: that we go six and ten is if Andy Dalton

91
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: is starting, if Gared Gilbert or Cooper Russ or any

92
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: of those other guys out there, then the betters off.

93
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: That is exactly what I can't say. I said, I

94
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: was wrong about it, QUB. I said that at the beginning,

95
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: at the beginning of my the beginning of my little speech,

96
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: I said, you know, I was wrong about the cute.

97
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: I said, I was wrong. But you know that Gilbert

98
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: great keeps coming through. That's good old Guilbert. So you're

99
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: coming through, So you're changing. So you're changing your bet now,

100
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: so you're changing, You're changing the whole, the whole thing.

101
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: Because it's just like I understanding six and ten. I'm

102
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: just saying six and ten. That's all I'm saying. That's

103
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: all I'm saying. It's six and ten, good old Gilbert

104
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: coming through the Man Texas. He's coming through. It's six

105
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: and ten for for for Church, four and twelve for

106
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: d Mac. I'm sitting here at three and thirteen. Now, um, Barry,

107
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: you did put a qualifier on all these, on all

108
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 1: on the six wins, and so now is the qualifier off? Okay,

109
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: it's a qualifier. Let me all right, I'm gonna tell

110
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: ya what it's at right now. I got the feeling,

111
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: you know, Gilbert is gonna go out there the rest

112
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: of it. Say you can't take this away from him, Nate,

113
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: if they go out there. Look, I know what I

114
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: said about Andy Dalton, and I said, Andy Dunk gave

115
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: us a bet. But that's before. That's before I sat

116
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: there and looked at Gilbert the other day. That's before

117
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: I sat Gilbert. I told you I was wrong before

118
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: this last season, this message. He was out there on

119
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: the topic, all one topic. I backpedal and said, hey,

120
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: I was wrong about the quarterback. That was it? Okay, Church, Church, Church, Wait,

121
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: my bad New Church your backpedal. You reversed on the

122
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: kool a That that's a straight back pedal, all right.

123
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: I went from seven to nine to six and ten.

124
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: You started off the whole season with me and you

125
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: saying that the kool aid and knew we need to

126
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,799
Speaker 1: get off the kool aid and don't make no sense.

127
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: And then you backpedal, and then you sipped the kool aid.

128
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: That was what happened. Me and Big Mike. Me and

129
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: Big Mike sat down and had a conversation, and you

130
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: know what. From that conversation, I said, you know what,

131
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: we got a chance, and now we're gonna go. We're

132
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: gonna go six and ten. I don't know if it's

133
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: gonna win a division. I might be wrong about that,

134
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: but they're gonna go six and ten. So that's another

135
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: backped because I'm supposed to win it. I man, this guy,

136
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: he just trying to switch. It's a new day. It's

137
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: a new day, all right, it's a new day. Let

138
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: me get Let me get my number three jersey. Ready. Man,

139
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: we did lose. It never felt so good to lose

140
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: and so good to be wrong. So I'm gonna take

141
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: that I was right about Gary Gilbert I did not

142
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: have confidence that Kelly Moore would come out and get

143
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: some quick passes out there and get everything started the

144
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: way he did. I don't I wouldn't say that he

145
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: you know, aired it out and threw it down the

146
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: field as much as Shirt said, but he got him

147
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: rolling with some quick passes. He was able to hit

148
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: the tight end. He was able to hit Amari Cooper

149
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: that got the ball into his hands, and you saw

150
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: the impact of what was going on when you did that.

151
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: Zeke came out there. They fooled us a little bit

152
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: and making us thing that he wasn't gonna play, and

153
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: you know, he came out there and did what he

154
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: had to do. Tony Poler showed up, the defense showed up.

155
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: These guys came out there and they played hard. And

156
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: I told you that you could eliminate a lot of

157
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: mistakes by by giving one percent effort, and they were

158
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: able to do that. So I was wrong. I am

159
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: happy about being wrong, and I'm not crowning us. You know,

160
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: the NFC each chance based off this game, because I

161
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: still have some thoughts about what happened with the Steelers,

162
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: but I am happy that this is how we're going

163
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: into the bye week and it's it's it's weird to

164
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: say that after a loss, but the way that this

165
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: season is going, I'll take it. Church. I give you

166
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: some breath news. You're ready for it. You're ready for it.

167
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: It's on Garrett Gilbert. It's about Garrett Gilbert. Okay, you're ready.

168
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for it. Stephen Jonal said today on one

169
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: d five three one five three to Fame on his

170
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: radio show Andy Dawn's gonna start. Here we go, Man,

171
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: here we go. Man, you got the man? I tell

172
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: you what. Man, Look, so you got this is another qualifier?

173
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: Is this is another qual This ain't no more qualifiers? Man,

174
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: this ain't no more qualifies. I can't believe. Now you

175
00:08:55,200 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: tell me. So if Andy Dalton starts, then all bets off.

176
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: So no NFC Championship, No. Six and teen. Nah No,

177
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: I'm saying with it. I'm staying with it because you

178
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: say that backpedal too much. You know, I'm saying I'm

179
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: staying with it. But man, man, you know I hate

180
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: the question. You know the top, But man, I'm telling

181
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: you what. You gotta ride that way. Man, did you

182
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: see when my boy was going out there? Gilbert was

183
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: out there. From snap one, it seemed like he just

184
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 1: had the confidence and just the command of this offense.

185
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 1: I mean, we see it. I'm not I'm not saying

186
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: he's Dak Prescott. Let's not pump the break. I'm not

187
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: saying he's that sounds like, but the way he sounds like.

188
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: But the way he was playing, But the way he

189
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: was playing, it seemed like he was elevating the rest

190
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: of his guys out there. I mean, his ball placement,

191
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: it was only for the receivers out there, except for

192
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: that last play when he got hitting, you know, the

193
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: ball flew up in the air and Fitzpatrick Fictick. But

194
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: other than that, man, the guy was I feel like

195
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 1: he had the confidence and he passed the eye test.

196
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: When we when we was talking about the Nucci the

197
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: other day, I mean, that's night and day. That is

198
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: night and day. We talked about the Duchie having more

199
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: career passes in a real game, all that stuff, but

200
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: that that, I mean, whatever my boy did down there

201
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 1: and with the Orlando Apoleums or whatever they are, we're

202
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 1: down there in the aff, it must have got him

203
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 1: ready because he came in there and he looked good.

204
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 1: He looked polished. I just can't believe they're they're going

205
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: back to the red rifle. But I got I gotta

206
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: stick with the ship, man. I gotta go down. I

207
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: gotta go down with the ship if it's going down now.

208
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: Gilbert was twenty one thirty eight two hundred forty three yards,

209
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: one touchdown, one interception with a QBR of sixty two

210
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: point three m. This is why the way I broke

211
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: it down last night on NBC five here in Dallas

212
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: Fort Worth, on my TV show, I said, Andy Dalton

213
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 1: will get the start, as he should, but but this

214
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 1: is November. Come December, as you start to see where

215
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: this thing goes when they are out of it, then

216
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: you need to be playing Garrett Gilbert because I feel

217
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: like Garrett Gilbert is the guy who can be on

218
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: this team in twenty twenty one. I believe Andy Dalton

219
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: will find himself a job somewhere as a starter in

220
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: the league, and that'll be you know, he'll be He'll

221
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 1: he won't be here. But I do think that Garrett

222
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: Gilbert showed you enough yesterday that he needs some more time.

223
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 1: You need to look at him again and decide whether

224
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: or not you want to lock this guy up as

225
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: a backup quarterback here for you know, a two to

226
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: three year contract and get him at a million million five.

227
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: That to me makes the most sense of how I

228
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: see this going. Because look, the Jones family has said

229
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: multiple times on their radio show they are still in this,

230
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: and they are still in this now. I think they're

231
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: going to win a division. I do not, but I

232
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: don't own the team. They do, and that's their thought process.

233
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: So they're gonna go with Andy Dalton. But as soon

234
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: as this thing is over, I think you gotta go

235
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: play Garrett Gilbert and see exactly see see some more

236
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: of what you've got. You definitely do it. I mean

237
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, I feel like well Gilbert

238
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: did out there. I mean he put his audition tape

239
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 1: out there, he put his resume out there. I mean,

240
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: this was for him, This was an opportunity of a lifetime.

241
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you get to come in here and you're

242
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: starting for the Dallas Cowboys. Look, I mean, you have

243
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: nothing else to lose. You're already in there, We're down

244
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: to our fourth quarterback. You know, all you have is

245
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: is upside. You go out there, you play a good game,

246
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: you put your resume out there, you say, you look

247
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: at the Cowboys and say, hey, you don't need to

248
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: go out there and get you a backup quarterback. You

249
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: already have what you need in the organization, organization in

250
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: me right here. And he went out there, and I

251
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 1: think he played good enough to prove that. Now, like you,

252
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: you're right new, I think we need to see maybe

253
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: a game or two more before we go ahead and

254
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: give him the job as a backup next year. But

255
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: for me, overall, I think he played pretty good. And

256
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: if it's not here with the Cowboys, his audition tape,

257
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: his resume can go out there to all the other

258
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: thirty one NFL teams out there who's in need of

259
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: a backup quarterback. So for me, I think he did

260
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: his self justice last night on Sunday night. Listen, listen,

261
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: I know, I listen. I know we're already to crown Gilbert.

262
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: And he went out there and he looked much better

263
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: than the NU she did. And like I said, I

264
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: was happy to see it, but I just can't. I'm

265
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: not gonna give him like I feel like we're giving

266
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,599
Speaker 1: him the MVP of the game, and the MVP of

267
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: the game was the defense. Like by far, they came

268
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: out and they and they stopped Pittsburgh and they and

269
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: they gave these guys a chance, you know, to make

270
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: those plays throughout the game, like the game could have

271
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: could have been out of hand killing Moore came through

272
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: and he controlled the clock. They went on long drives.

273
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: The defense came out there and they made plays and

274
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: oh guess what, My MVP of the team, mister Goodwin,

275
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: leading the special teams went out there and plays made

276
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: some plays that really changed the game. Special teams was

277
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: was all noticed this time, and it was for positive reason,

278
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: not negative. So if you look at this entire game,

279
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: this was a full team win, special teams, defense and offense.

280
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,839
Speaker 1: Gary Gilber, he did exactly what he needed to do

281
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: to keep us in the game. But in order for

282
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: us to you know, do what Church says and win

283
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: the division and six and ten, we have to play

284
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: a complete game every single game, because we lost and

285
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: we played almost perfectly in every every phase of the game.

286
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a long role for us. But

287
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: we could continue to do that and be perfect everywhere,

288
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: then we have a chance to do what Church said.

289
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: But I mean, that's that's that's difficult to do. Yeah,

290
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: and I know we're gonna he said, full team win, Danny.

291
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: I know you didn't meet it that way, but yes,

292
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: it was a full team. Oh yeah, listen, yeah, you're right,

293
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: You're right. I feel like we want I don't know

294
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: if that's why I said, I've never felt so good

295
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: after a loss. It feels like we won something. And

296
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: whoever says there's no such thing as a moral victory,

297
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: they were absolutely wrong. World victories exist, and we just

298
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: got one. And we just got one. Nate Newton said

299
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: on Hanging with the Boys, he was addedly against these

300
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: moral victories. He doesn't buy into it. He doesn't believe it.

301
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: And Nate Newton comes from that Jimmy Johnson school, which

302
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: produced two Super Bowl championships, and what Jimmy left, they

303
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: ended up winning a third with everything he built here.

304
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: So I'll go go ahead inside with Nate Newton. Look

305
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: how far, Look how far the bar? Look how far

306
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: the bar has fallen? We're sitting up. I mean, look, look,

307
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: I'm in the prost lost as well. But look, Dallas boy,

308
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: that's my boy, Nate and everything. But man, he's wrong

309
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: on this one. I don't care what he got to say.

310
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: We gotta ride this momentum. I mean, we gotta take

311
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: it whichever way we can, if it's in a losing effort.

312
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: But we ended up being competitive and being respectable against

313
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: the number one team in the NFL. I'll take that. Man,

314
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: Take that momentum and rat for the next week. Man, Church, Church,

315
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: How are you guys sitting around here? I mean, this

316
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: is what they're paid to do. Jerry Jones is laid

317
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: out some very good dollars to people like Take Lords

318
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: who had a good game yesterday, Tyrone Crawford, who had

319
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: a good game yesterday. I mean, this is what you're

320
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: supposed to do. You're not supposed to allow a team

321
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: to come into your house and beat you down. You're

322
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: supposed to compete. You're supposed to do what they did.

323
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: Oh hold on, yeah, no, no, no, it come out.

324
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: Knew it KNEWI hold on, you're talking about you're talking

325
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: about going you're talking about going against one of the

326
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: number one teams in the NFL and we on a

327
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: fourth stream quarterback with a makeshift offensive line and the

328
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: defense that nobody thought could stop anybody, and they came

329
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: out there and did exactly that, And you like, yeah,

330
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: this is what they paid to do. We've been watching

331
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: what they were supposed to be paid to do for

332
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: the entire season and it hadn't been getting done. So

333
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: now when they actually remember this, the defense played well

334
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: against well enough against Washington, they played well enough against

335
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: a Philly, and now that they are trending in the

336
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: right direction of getting better, I'm taking this. Keep making

337
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: those steps. Get you a quarterback in there and play

338
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: against somebody who's not undefeated, and I think if you could.

339
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: But no, I don't, I don't. I don't know about that.

340
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: Like I said, it was, it was one hundred percent effort.

341
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: Look at there, Well what he but you rying act

342
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: like y'all going to Chucky Cheese and celebrate. That's what

343
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: I don't get. That's the thing. It ain't that, you

344
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I'm just I'm I was just

345
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: excited because you know, no Shre Diamonds had came back.

346
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: That's that. I was more exciting about Nore Diamonds. But

347
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna pump the brakes a little bit

348
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: on the boys. You know. It was definitely it was

349
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 1: a loss, but it was tell you something I don't

350
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: let me tell you something I don't. I don't think

351
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: this makes any sense. All right. We've been coming on

352
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: this show every week with feeling it absolutely horrible about everything,

353
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: seeing effort and seeing how we're getting blown out all

354
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: this stuff, and then when you have something positive, all

355
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: being in a loss when we were driving on the

356
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: last player the game to score and that type of

357
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: loss happens to you. With what we've been seeing previously,

358
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: this is a positive thing. We did not win the game,

359
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: but if you're looking for something to move forward, like

360
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: you're looking for guys who're trying to save their jobs

361
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: special teams coach, defensive coordinator and all that stuff, this

362
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: is something positive where you could cut on the film

363
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 1: and you can say, hey, look, fellas, we are able

364
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: to compete with any team. If we come out here

365
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: and we don't make it make those mistakes and we

366
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: play up to our ability, we can play with these guys.

367
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: This is something that you can turn on the tape

368
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 1: and you can have some confidence when you go into

369
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 1: the next weeks of the season versus coming out here

370
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: and getting beat by sixty and you're like, hey man,

371
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: look let's throw the tape away, all right, you got

372
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: some stuff you can cut on right now. And you

373
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,239
Speaker 1: got some stuff you can cut on right now going

374
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 1: into the bye week, and you say, if we fix this, this, that,

375
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: and that, we got a chance to really be competitive

376
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season. Yeah, we got a chance.

377
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: Well check check out hanging. I told y'all with what

378
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: Nate Newton was saying today, it's along the line to

379
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: what you said, McRae. But at the end he says,

380
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: I'm not going to celebrate moral victories. We've got to

381
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: take a break. Okay, We've got to take a break

382
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: when we come back. There was one play in the

383
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: game that people kept talking about over and over again,

384
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: and it's been on all of our shows here on

385
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys dot Com about the fourth and one where

386
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,119

387
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: going for it. Let's dive into that next on the

427
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: at home to the Giants yesterday. Alex Smith comes off

428
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: the bench and he fills in for Kyle Allen, who

429
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 1: suffered a broken ankle. He's going to miss the rest

430
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: of the year. And what was telling about Ron Rivera

431
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: today when he spoke to the media, he says they

432
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: need to find a franchise quarterback. That basically tells me

433
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: all I need to know that the Dwayne Haskins era

434
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: is done. It's finished, it's over. He's not going back

435
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: to Haskins. He'll play this thing out with Alex Smith. Yeah,

436
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 1: it's a rap for my boy Haskins out there. I

437
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: mean when when they decided to go with Kyle Allen,

438
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: I mean they didn't just you know, bench Haskin. They

439
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: throw him up under the bench and I don't even

440
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 1: know if he came back next week to the game.

441
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: So I mean it's it's rough out here for him

442
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: right now. I mean, that's got to be a big

443
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: time confidence below. You went from a first round I

444
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: believe he was a top ten pick and supposed to

445
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 1: be the franchise guy to what a year later, he's

446
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: you know, he stirred on the depth chart behind the

447
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: guy who battled back from having a broken leg. So,

448
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's tough right now for my boy Haskins.

449
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: But we'll see. Maybe he'll get up out of Washington

450
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: and turn into a better quarterback. But who knows. Let

451
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: me tell you something. What Haskins right, The word I

452
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: don't askins is you know, the guy was lazy. He

453
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,479
Speaker 1: wasn't doing what he's supposed to do as as as

454
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: the supposed franchise quarterback putting in that type of work.

455
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: And when when when the coach gives you that confidence

456
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: and they put their job on the line by putting

457
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: you out there, and that's the type of stuff that

458
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 1: you get them in return by them being able to

459
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 1: figure it out and see that you're not studying and

460
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: picking this stuff and that's the reason why you're not

461
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: picking this stuff up. Yeah, they gotta put you far

462
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: back like that, man, because you didn't respect the positions

463
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: that they have, so they don't have to respect respect

464
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 1: the position that they tried to give you. So you know,

465
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: you lost the respect of the coaching staff. So I

466
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 1: mean it should be the end of the Dwayne Haskins era. There,

467
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: let me back up what you just said there, Danny

468
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: McCray here on the players Line spotty by Hotels dot Com.

469
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: Your head coach is out here getting cancer treatment. He's

470
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: putting his life on the line to be out here

471
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: at coach football for anybody to sit around here and say, hey,

472
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: Alex Smith is the first quarterback in the building and

473
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 1: not you, Dwayne Haskins. That's not good. So I hit

474
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: up a buddy of mine who covers the team, and

475
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: I said, he almost. I said, so Ron has no

476
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: time for Haskins anymore? He says, Nope, pretty obvious. Then

477
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: I hit him back, I said, almost, sounds like he's

478
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 1: offended by Haskins. Is his work ethic? That back? And

479
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: hits back. He says he doesn't listen, thinks criticism is

480
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: hate out. Okay, that's that you're out man. That's that

481
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: younger mentality man to it. Just you know, these younger

482
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: players coming in the league now, they's you know, feeling entitled, like, yeah,

483
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: I was a first round pixel. You know, I deserve

484
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 1: every type of chance I need to get and this

485
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: is my team I'm eating. If you got to earn

486
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 1: the respect of your teammates, your coaches, and it's not

487
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: just what you do on the field, man. So that's

488
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: just the mentality that this younger generation has. Now, Yeah,

489
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: that's the type of attitude you can have if you

490
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: out there baller, if you out there singing it up. No, no,

491
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: serve because because they got they got, they got like

492
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: specific stuff that they could point out for reasons why

493
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 1: that you may be sucking, even if that's not the reason,

494
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: like they have to assume that that's what it is.

495
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: So you know, you get, you put that stuff out

496
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: there on film, and you put that stuff out there,

497
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: you know, for people to see that you're not really

498
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: working hard, and you kind of got you know, what

499
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: was coming to you. So that's that's the latest from Washington.

500
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: The next Cowboys home getting Cowboys are on They by

501
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: next week, then after the bye week they head up

502
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: two minutesota. You are checking out the players laubaty by

503
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: Hotels dot com and we scrugs, longtime Cowboys reporter, joined

504
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: by former Cowboys players Danny McCrae and Barry Church. We

505
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: are our SWBC Mortgage Virtual home Studios. So a big

506
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: topic of conversation happened at near the end of the

507
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 1: third quarter, not two seventeen left. Cowboys have a fourth

508
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 1: and one at the twenty two of the Steelers and

509
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy decides to kick a field goal. They make

510
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: the field goal, they go up nineteen to nine. I

511
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: had no issues with that call. At all. One of

512
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: the things that I said is, look, this is an

513
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: offensive line. This is not even the offensive line you

514
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: thought you were going to have. Sixty minutes before the

515
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 1: football game. You had your rookie center Tyler Padish go

516
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: out with a hamstring injury, and Stephen Jones says he's

517
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: going to miss a couple of weeks. So you got

518
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,479
Speaker 1: an offensive line that I'm sorry, it's not the dudes

519
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 1: you've come to know and love with the Cowboys. You

520
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,199
Speaker 1: got one guy out here who's a ball, who's a

521
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: legitimate pro or that is your right tackle, Zach Martin.

522
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: So when he said, man, I'm gonna go ahead and kicking,

523
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 1: I had no problems with it because I looked at

524
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 1: the offensive line and said, who, dom I. If I'm

525
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: going to bet right now, who am I going to

526
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: bet on the Steelers D line or the Cowboys old line,

527
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: I'd be I'd be going with the Cowboys. I mean,

528
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: I'd be going with the Steelers D line to stop me.

529
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: So I had no problems with the kicking that field goal. Mccraig,

530
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: what do you say, Yeah, I mean I thought it

531
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 1: made sense. I mean, you, if you look at the

532
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 1: other side of you know what you were going against.

533
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 1: You see why out there, and then you see Hayward

534
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: who was who was having it having a time with

535
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: our offensive line. So I think it may sense you

536
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 1: go about two scores. I mean, why not, Like you're

537
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: playing to win the game. Your defense is playing okay,

538
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,239
Speaker 1: so you get them a chance to go out there,

539
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 1: you know, and make some stops. I don't have any

540
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: problem with it. This is not one of the instances

541
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 1: where I would say that Mike McCarthy made a bad

542
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,199
Speaker 1: cult of decision. I thought it was I thought it

543
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: was cool either way. Yeah for me. I look, we

544
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: were talking about this in the in the studio before

545
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: the post game show, and we kind of talked about

546
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: this same thing. You know, would you have gone for

547
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: it or would you have kick the field goal? For me,

548
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 1: you know, I thought it was a good call. But

549
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: if I was on the sidelines coach, and if no

550
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 1: Shore Damas was out there, I would have went for it.

551
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I understand, you know, your defense was

552
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 1: playing decent or pretty good against the against the Steelers,

553
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: and you can add points to add to that lead

554
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,719
Speaker 1: and and all that good stuff. But to me, I

555
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: think you gotta go with you're all pro running back

556
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: and you go right behind your all pro guard and

557
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: Zach Martin and you try to salt this game away.

558
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: I mean, look, you know, at the end of the day,

559
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: was he wrong for the call. No, But I would

560
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 1: have tried to salt it away going behind, going behind

561
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: Zach Martin because look, even if you have a ten

562
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 1: point leading the fourth, I mean, you're not playing against

563
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: Danny Diames back there at the quarterback. You're going against

564
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger, and this guy we've known can heat up

565
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 1: at any time with that explosive offense. So for me,

566
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 1: I would have tried to solve the game away. But

567
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: I can understand why I kicked the field goal. Now.

568
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna throw this out here because I've heard

569
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: several people come back and hey, you got Zack Martin.

570
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 1: I think they weren't gonna maybe throw cam Hey way

571
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: out there, so you think they were gonna say, hey, look,

572
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: we think they're gonna run behind this dude, let's load

573
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: up right here, because we don't believe they're gonn run

574
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: behind Carter Williams. Oh No. First of all, Carnor Williams

575
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: had one of the worst games I've ever seen. But

576
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 1: we'll get We'll get the Williams here in the So

577
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: on your fourth game play, you say, run behind Zach,

578
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, if the Steelers are gonna sit

579
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: up here and say yeah, they're gonna run, we're gonna

580
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: go ahead, and let's figure out a way to to

581
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 1: to plug up this whole long seventy. But this is

582
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: where we think they're gonna go. We think they're gonna

583
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: go over here to the right, not to the left.

584
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: And and so I'm just saying I think the Steelers

585
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,439
Speaker 1: would have stopped that thing. That's when you gotta have

586
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: belief in your players. I mean, you gotta all pro

587
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: guard right there. You got all pro running back. We

588
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: know he hasn't been, but he did. He believed in

589
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: his kicker, in his defense. He believed in his kicker

590
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: and his defense. And you know, and his defense defense

591
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: had earned that at this point in time of the

592
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: game too. They had earned that. They had they had

593
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: earned that. But but you're also going against Ben Roethlisberger too,

594
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: Like you got a chance to salt this thing away.

595
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: I just don't think you get a chance. And it

596
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna be salt to the way. That's the thing.

597
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: It would not assaulted the way put it. It would

598
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: have put it out there. Though. The only thing I

599
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: say for you, Church, is because Ben Roethlisberger, Ben Roethlisberger

600
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: is out there and I and I and you know,

601
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: as much praise as I gave our defense, I think

602
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: one of the worst things that happened was us stopping

603
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: the run because, uh, you know, our pass defense was

604
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: put on notice last night again, Claypool was dropping all

605
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: type of passes. Ben Roethlisberger was a little bit off,

606
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: but when he came down to it, uh, and they

607
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: really need to throw the ball, it was like they

608
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: couldn't miss. Uh. So I feel you, Church, you know,

609
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: saying that Ben Roethlisberger was back there. You just had

610
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: to watch the defense and seen the performance to say,

611
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: at some point in time, be Ben Roethlisberger and Claypool

612
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: and all those guys, they were going to start connecting.

613
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: So I can feel that, but I would still go

614
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: up two scores. And you know what, you know, I'll

615
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: give it to y'all because you know what you would

616
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: have had. And I'm sure we'll get We'll get to

617
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: this after the break. But I'm sure we would have

618
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: had a stop right there hadn't it been for some

619
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 1: of the dumbest penalties I've ever seen that live. But

620
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll get We'll get to that after breaks.

621
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: Stay there exactly right, because as much grief as people

622
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: will give him McCarthy about the fourth and one, I'll

Speaker 1: tell you where I felt the game got away and

Speaker 1: the Players Lounge, all right. So we're gonna brought to

668
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: you by Hotels dot Com. I'm New Skokes, longtime cowboyship order,

669
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: joined by Barry Church and Danny mccraig. So, gentlemen, let's

670
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: go back here. We were talking about the fourth and

671
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: one where McCarthy decides to go up by two possessions

672
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: and kick a field goal, making it nineteen to nine,

673
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: so the Steelers get the football back. There is a

674
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: third and ten at the Pittsburgh forty five yard line.

675
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: Actually yes, and the Cowboys stop. But then there's a

676
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: penalty on Jalen Smith here and boom there you go.

677
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: Next thing, you know, they end up going down the

678
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: field and getting a touchdown. And remember the other play

679
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: they had fumble. They had a fumble and then Jalen

680
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: got a called for penalty there that led to point.

681
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 1: So Jalen's two penalties in this football game basically cost

682
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: the Cowboys ten points. They led to ten. You're getting

683
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: off the feel on third down, getting off the feeld

684
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: on third down, and then you had then you had

685
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: the hands in the face. Then you had vanderest with

686
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: the stupid play. But but your defense. Yeah, here's the

687
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: guys that that Mike McCarthy said. You know what d

688
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: you guys from playing well? Is kick this and let's

689
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: see where we go. You'r d and two guys that

690
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: you were counting on here, one guy you just paid

691
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: sixty three million dollars. Another guy you made a first

692
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: round pick. Out of these two guys had plays in

693
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: this football game which helped the Steelers. That was the

694
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 1: one thing you couldn't do. You couldn't help them. The

695
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 1: Cowboys d helped them despite doing all they could here.

696
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: And that's why a guy like Nate knew it was

697
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: about no moral victories because here the Cowboys still like

698
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 1: his shooting themselves in the foot. We didn't even got

699
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: to the turnovers that the offense created in this football game. Yeah,

700
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 1: this was this was a brutal one for me. I mean,

701
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: you had them going. It seemed like Mike McCarthy had

702
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 1: made the right call, but kicking the field goal and

703
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 1: relying on his defense, and it seemed like he did

704
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: the right thing because his defense had showed up and

705
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: like you said, on that third down, they had got

706
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: him off the field. But it's it's about situational awareness

707
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: and where you are on the field. Man, you gotta

708
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 1: realize what down and distance is. My guy went in there,

709
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: Willie Nilly, throwing his hands up trying to block the past.

710
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: I get it, you're putting that effort in there, but

711
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: you just gotta understand where you are and you gotta

712
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: see everything around you. He hit him in the head

713
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: with the hands to the face or whatever. It was

714
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: rough in the pastor that extended to play, and you

715
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: gotta know the rules. I mean, you're not a rookie

716
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: out here. You're a veteran, you're a captain that you're

717
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: a captain of this defense, supposed to be the leader,

718
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: and then you get a cheap you know, pass an

719
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 1: inference call. But you gotta know the rules. He was

720
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: past five yards. You can't put your hands on a

721
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: on a receiver. After that, you give him a chuck

722
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: trying to reroute him or something, and he ends up

723
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: going down. It's costful, super costful for your defense and

724
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,399
Speaker 1: your team. And if you want to go out there

725
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 1: and beat these you know, number one ranked teams and

726
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: all that other stuff, you gotta play a perfect game.

727
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: You gotta play a sound game. You gotta play a

728
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: smart game. And that's just something that we didn't do

729
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball. McCray, I'll let

730
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 1: you hit that LPE one because that was that was

731
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 1: just as dumb as this Jaylen Smith penalties. Yeah, listen

732
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: and listen. I understand the frustration with the whole Jay

733
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 1: the Smith thing. Uh, sometimes those things happen, right, So

734
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 1: some of some of the best pass rushers and all that,

735
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,320
Speaker 1: some are running there and you know, and they're giving effort,

736
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: and you know sometimes that the hand hits the face

737
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: masks and you know, they protecting the quarterback these days,

738
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: sometimes that type of stuff happened out. You know at

739
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: the time, the timing was horrible, but I mean, I'm

740
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: not I'm not gonna kill Jay Leon Smith for that.

741
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: And it's rerout penalty. You know, he was maybe a

742
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: yard or so too far. You know, Claypool was off

743
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,720
Speaker 1: balance and he fell and you know he drew the penalty.

744
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 1: It was, it was. It was a bad thing to do,

745
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna kill him for that. What either,

746
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: he was trying to to reroute the receiver to help

747
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: out the secondary. You know he shouldn't he shouldn't have

748
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: done it, but I'm not gonna kill him for that.

749
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: I don't really just think it was that dumb and now,

750
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 1: compared to LVS, I did not understand that at all.

751
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: You tackle the dude and he's trying to get you

752
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 1: off of them, you already know that you're pushing your

753
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: weight on him and you're not getting off him as

754
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: quickly as you need to. And he felt disrespected. The

755
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: dude pushed you and you pushed him in the helmet.

756
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: It don't like it don't make no sense. It wasn't

757
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: It wasn't as bad as the dude from Chicago, but

758
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: it was it was almost as costly. Like you guys

759
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: are rolling at this point and then all of the

760
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: stuff you start racking up penalties. This was not an

761
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: effort penalty like Jayals Smiths. This was not a technique

762
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: penally like Jalen Smiths. This was just a dumb penalty.

763
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 1: And that's why I think that one was worse than

764
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 1: Jalen's as far as decision making. It just it's something

765
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: that you could have one hundred percent avoided and it

766
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,919
Speaker 1: didn't have anything to do with the action will play

767
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: on the field. So I think that that one was

768
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: worse than the two that Jalen did. But like you

769
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: said in this press conference, he does have to come

770
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 1: in and take accountability for it because he's not coached

771
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 1: up to do those type of things. Yeah, it was

772
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: a mistake. You were playing harder and you and you

773
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: made a mistake and you just got on it. You

774
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: can't help a team like the Steelers out, and in

775
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,320
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter the Cowboys helped them. That's how the

776
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: Steelers ended up scoring fifteen points and getting to win.

777
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: I also want to flip it back over here to

778
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: the offense. The offense is still out here committing more

779
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: turnovers than anyone in the National Football League. You had

780
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 1: a fumble by CD Lamb, and then you had the

781
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys in the red zone and Garrett Gilbert throws a

782
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,919
Speaker 1: interception to meet to meet a Fitzpatrick in the back

783
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: of the end zone and you simply can't do that.

784
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 1: And you can say, well, maybe this was on Kelly Moore.

785
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: Run the football, take the points. But then again I

786
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: laugh at that a little bit because I heard some

787
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 1: people talking about that as well, saying, you know what,

788
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,800
Speaker 1: you got to protect quarterback, don't sit around here and

789
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 1: let him throw the ball. Well, if you're going to

790
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: go for it on fourth and one and you want

791
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 1: to be aggressive, what's the same. What's the difference here?

792
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: I mean, if you try to be aggressive, you'll be aggresive.

793
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,760
Speaker 1: They try to be conservative, then they try to be aggressive.

794
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: So so there you go. But the problem for Gilbert,

795
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: and this is a young guy making his first start,

796
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 1: and you can't really beat him up. But your job

797
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: is to try to make sure you secure an opportunity

798
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,879
Speaker 1: to kick a field goal. If they kick that field goal,

799
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: then that final possession is not about a touchdown. The

800
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 1: final possessions about trying to get Greg's rline and arrange

801
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 1: to kick a field goal, and who knows, maybe they

802
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,240
Speaker 1: end up winning that game. But at the same time,

803
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: I come back to this, that's why the Steelers are

804
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 1: under feed it why the Cowboys are two and seven.

805
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: These are the reasons you don't do the things you

806
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 1: need to do the other team does, and that's how

807
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 1: that's how winning and losing is dictated the national football

808
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: You're completely right offensively. I mean, look, we had it

809
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: right there and we and we gave the game away.

810
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 1: I mean, look at the last time we played turnover

811
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: free football on the offensive side of the ball was

812
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: Week one against the Los Angeles Rams, and that was

813
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: the only game that we were kind of in in

814
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 1: besides this game. That's the only game we were really in.

815
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 1: And we were playing turnover free football for a while

816
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 1: until you know, cdee Lamb you know, costed up and

817
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 1: even then we were still in the game until that

818
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 1: last turnover with Meka fix Patrick. So as as as

819
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: a team that's not you know, their minus all they're

820
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,760
Speaker 1: all pros, their minus this and that and all these injuries.

821
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 1: For the most part, you're gonna have to play perfect

822
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 1: game and turning the ball over is not going to

823
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:51,800
Speaker 1: help that, and we ended up giving us one a

824
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: way to Pittsburgh. Yeah, that it was tough because, like

825
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 1: I said, you know all three phases at one point

826
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: they were playing, they were playing outstanding, and they were

827
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: doing everything they needed to do to keep us in

828
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: the game. Albeit, like I said, if this was the

829
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: game for us to be the big time team Philly,

830
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: I mean, the Stillers coming in here, you know, an

831
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: undefeated record, trying to avoid a letdown and all that

832
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 1: stuff and all that planning took. This was the time

833
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 1: for us to do it, and we did. Like I said,

834
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: we played well, and I'm giving it the moral victory,

835
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 1: but the fact that we could have actually won the game,

836
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't hurt as much as those ones in the past.

837
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: But like I said, I'm optimistic now because I know

838
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 1: that we can actually play better even with the guys

839
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 1: that we have out there on the field. As long

840
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,720
Speaker 1: as Kelling calls the game, calls a good game, special

841
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 1: teams good game, and defense good game. As long as

842
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:39,720
Speaker 1: they called good games and put these guys in position

843
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: to make plays. We have a chance to go out

844
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 1: there and at least at least do something to you know,

845
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: to stay competitive. It sounds like you're moving towards the

846
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 1: six and ten round. Man, are you coming over here

847
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: with your boy? No? No, no, absolutely absolutely not, because

848
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 1: this is this is one game. This is one game

849
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 1: up the season where where we have been able to

850
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: say that, you know, all three phases, you know, for

851
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: the most part, played played played well. You know, I said,

852
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: we still gave gave away two turnovers, you know, ceedee lamb,

853
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 1: you know, and in the pick at the end. But

854
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 1: you know, outside of that, these guys played. They played outstanding,

855
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: really and uh, I don't see that happening week and

856
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,879
Speaker 1: hinding week out, but I hope it does. But uh,

857
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: you know that it's tough. It's tough to duplicate that, especially,

858
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure they had a little little bit

859
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: extra going in there, knowing that they were playing against

860
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: the Steelers undefeated team and they had had the chance

861
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 1: to knock those guys off. They won't be doing that

862
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: every week. I will say that, speaking speak speaking of

863
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: somebody that played out of their mind. Um nevill Gallimore.

864
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:43,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys. I mean watch that.

865
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: But he played an amazing game in that defensive line.

866
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I see like that that that pole done.

867
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: Terry Poe was like a cloud over. He just was.

868
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: It was like a stopper for for Nevil Gallimore, just

869
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: keeping them under wraps. But now that he's gone, they

870
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,959
Speaker 1: shipped him on up out of here. Nevill Gallimore played

871
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: a heck of a game and he was going against

872
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: arguably one of the top centers in the National Football

873
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,720
Speaker 1: League and Marquis Bouncy, and he was throwing him around

874
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 1: like a ragdall out there. So if we can continue

875
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: to get that effort from Neville Gallimore, maybe winning more

876
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: of his one on ones out there, opening things up

877
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 1: for d Law and the rest of the boys. I

878
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: didn't think I'd ever say that somebody else beside d

879
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 1: Law he lying, But I mean he played. He played

880
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 1: a phenomenal game out there, and hopefully he can keep

881
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 1: that going for the rest of the season. Randy Gregory too,

882
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 1: But tell me this, are you are you about to

883
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,760
Speaker 1: take the MVP from my dude, CJ after one game?

884
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: Because na, no, no, CJ. CJ has been playing lights

885
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 1: out special teams wise, this whole season. We saw it.

886
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 1: Not only did he take that return back, but I

887
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 1: mean he was making gunner plays out there left and right.

888
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,879
Speaker 1: So I mean CJ to me is still the MVP man.

889
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:52,439
Speaker 1: Galimore had that hit on Ben Roethlisberger that ended up, Yeah,

890
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,280
Speaker 1: he had to go to the locker room because his knee.

891
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,240
Speaker 1: His knee had took a lick out there. So Gallimore

892
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: was showing the fight that you want, Randy Gregory showing

893
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,359
Speaker 1: the fight that you want. But Church six and ten

894
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 1: is not going to happen as long as the Cowboys

895
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: keep going into these football games and giving the ball away.

896
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you just simply cannot do this. And nobody

897
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,399
Speaker 1: in the NFL right now gives it away more than

898
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. And also I'll flip onto this. Yesterday that

899
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 1: game between the Steelers and the Cowboys, it came down

900
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: to the red zone. The Steelers converted two of three,

901
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 1: Dallas was over two. And my boy Nate always has

902
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 1: that saying the more field goals you kick, the more

903
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,840
Speaker 1: opportunities you're going to have to lose. And the Cowboys

904
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 1: have got to start getting those red zone conversions and

905
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 1: just stop giving the football away. And if that doesn't happen.

906
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 1: They can't beat Minnesota. You're not gonna be able to

907
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 1: beat Baltimore or Cincinnati or other teams on your schedule

908
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: because you're allowing teams to hang in there and you're

909
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: giving teams possessions, and you just can't do that in

910
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 1: this league, especially when your football team is down the

911
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 1: significant Pro Bowl players like the Cowboys offer. You know,

912
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: you're all right about that. I will say we do

913
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: have to do a better job of taking care of

914
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: the football. I mean, we know defensively we're not going

915
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: to go out there and take the ball away all

916
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 1: like that, so as an offense, we gotta take better

917
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,399
Speaker 1: care of it. And you're also right about the red zone.

918
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 1: I mean, we're walking too many times we've gotten to

919
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: that red zone and we're walking away with field goals

920
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 1: instead of touchdowns. And against teams like Pittsburgh, you can't

921
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: do that. You're gonna have to go up there and

922
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 1: match touchdowns for touchdowns. But I will say this, offensively,

923
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: we were better on third down. I believe we were

924
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: eight of seventeen, so almost fifty percent on third down,

925
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,280
Speaker 1: which is a good number. That means that we're extending

926
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 1: these drives and keeping our defense off the field. So

927
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 1: if we can keep doing that, hopefully these red zone

928
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 1: numbers turn around and hey, you never know, six and ten,

929
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: it's looking like it's on the horizon. It's right over there.

930
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: It's reachable. It's reachable. I'm telling I'm gonna repeat. I'm

931
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: gonna repeat this, and I'm gonna repeat this for the

932
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:51,839
Speaker 1: entirety of the season. There are two people on the

933
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: field that you have to get the ball in their hands.

934
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys know this by now. One of

935
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 1: them is named of Mary Cooper and one number his

936
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,720
Speaker 1: name is Ezekiel Elliot. Get the ball in their hands

937
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,479
Speaker 1: the whole I think, the whole game play. Everything changed.

938
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: When you can get the ball in nineteens hands. The

939
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 1: defense has to play different. And when they see that

940
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,320
Speaker 1: he's involved, he actually goes out there and makes plays,

941
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 1: opens it up for other people. And I see that

942
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: they put him in the slide, got him a good

943
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: matchup that he wanted and get you know, and Gilbert

944
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: delivered a good ball. And once I saw that, I

945
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: figured that we had a chance to do something offensively.

946
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 1: And I hope they continue to do so, because when

947
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: you don't have them involved. Our offense is anning. Let

948
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,799
Speaker 1: let me ask you a quick question, real quick question,

949
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: real quick. I know we got short on time there,

950
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 1: But do y'all believe that Tony Pollard earned the right

951
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: to scrape a couple carries off of Ezekiel Elliot's work level? No,

952
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: I don't. I think. I think, I think, I think.

953
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 1: See this is what happens, right, because if if you

954
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: look at any team that plays, you can see watch

955
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings and then Dalwin Cooker going there and

956
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 1: get stuffed on second down, and that Madison to come

957
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 1: in and break off a twelve yard run. That does

958
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 1: not mean that Madison is better than Dalvin cook Sometimes

959
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 1: the play just doesn't open up like that. Poler did

960
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 1: exactly what he was supposed to do, and it's and

961
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 1: it's uh when he got the opportunity to. But he

962
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 1: not Ezekiel Elliott, you know. So, I mean, I would

963
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:16,879
Speaker 1: continue to do the same thing that they've been doing.

964
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 1: But I want to see Ezekiel Elloby feature much more

965
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: than I want to see Tony Pollo. I agree with

966
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:26,800
Speaker 1: what you said, McCray. I'll add this, I know, doctor,

967
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 1: I haven't had a chance to ask Ezekil Elliot this,

968
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 1: But I do wonder could there be some effects from

969
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: having COVID nineteen. Could there be because we're seeing a

970
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 1: guy who's not performing at the level we thought. I'm

971
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: looking at Cam Newton once Cam Newton had come back

972
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:44,320
Speaker 1: from from COVID nineteen. I'm not seeing a player perform

973
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,760
Speaker 1: at the level we thought. And you just hear average

974
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 1: citizens tell you how it affects them. Well, how the

975
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: heck is it affecting professional athletes and you're trying to

976
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: go out here and compete in the NFL at the

977
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 1: highest level. I wonder. I'm no doctor, I just do

978
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 1: wonder because we've seen the Ziegel Elliott play at a

979
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 1: much better rate. There are times where we're seeing him

980
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: block and guys are blasting Zeke. That's not the guy

981
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:08,959
Speaker 1: that we've seen in the National Football League this year.

982
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: Just my just he looked faster yesterday, even with the

983
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: hamstring thing. Sometimes I thought he was Tony Paula out there.

984
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 1: He looked, he looked quicker, he looked faster, him like

985
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: he was hitting the holes. And maybe it was the

986
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 1: way that they were spreading them out and it was

987
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 1: a little easier for them to read, but he didn't

988
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 1: look like he was injury yesterday, so I mean, hopefully

989
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,319
Speaker 1: the bye week helps him. They pick it up coming

990
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 1: in playing against Minnesota and keep this up, all right, gentlemen. Um, So,

991
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 1: according to the bossman, Derek Eagleton, the head Omega in charge,

992
