24
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: as we can in that third segment of the show.

25
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: Let's start first with a little bit of news. Yesterday,

26
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: Cowboys signed a kicker to their practice squad, Justin Visciano Ryan.

27
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: What do we know about him? I visited with a

28
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: team that had him, and it was funny. He's kicked,

29
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: he hasn't missed. I think he was five for five

30
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: when you're talking about field goals and extra points. This

31
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: team told me it's extremely strong, leg very professional in

32
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: his approach. And but this one team was telling me

33
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: that he could be a little erratic. Now, the numbers

34
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: don't tell you that he's erratic, meaning what exactly, meaning

35
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: that when you're erratic, you're kind of all over the place,

36
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: good or bad, And but the numbers say that that

37
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: he was good and so but this team that had him,

38
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: you know, they moved on from him, and so, uh,

39
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's what they were just kind of

40
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: talking about. But to me, this is one of those

41
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: things I don't know if if this is a practice

42
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: squad elevation that you know when you're forty eight. Uh,

43
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: you know, do you do you get in that situation?

44
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: I Uh, it's so funny. I talked to John Gruden

45
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: about this yesterday, about having a situation and you know,

46
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: I'll read to you what John told me. You know,

47
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: because I asked, you know, John and I whether you

48
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: hate John or not, John and I go way, way,

49
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: way way back, and so you know, I just from

50
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: a head coaches experience, I just wanted to kind of know,

51
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: how do you handle this? You know, how do you

52
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: handle something? And John told me this, I'll read John

53
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: doesn't mind, he says, not many options at this point

54
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: of the season. Normally you would cut a guy from

55
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: missing five straight extra points, he says, But make sure that,

56
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: he says, I would make sure that people leave him alone.

57
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: Probably bring in his personal guru or the guy that

58
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: helped him along the way. He's a very talented kicker.

59
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: Now he just has a chance to prove it. And

60
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: this is he's you know, he's talking about Mahr. He says,

61
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: keep encouraging him. But obviously, you know, have a few

62
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: contingencies of two point thoughts ready and also be ready

63
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: in four down territory. I never liked feeling like you're

64
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: going to go for two or go for fourth down,

65
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: but you should always have that in mind. So you know,

66
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: that's that's a former NFL head coach right there talking about,

67
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: you know, how you would maybe handle a situation. I

68
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: kind of feel like that. You know, if you feel

69
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: that strongly that there could be an issue, then you

70
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: need to make Tristan one of your forty eight. And

71
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: if you have a miss of field gold or an

72
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: extra point, then you make that adjustment as the case.

73
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: Let me ask you guys this I started hearing yesterday.

74
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: Someone was just kind of telling me something that Christie

75
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:28,799
Speaker 1: Scales wrote in regards to the balls and some issues

76
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: that they have balls the balls, Yeah, yes, they were

77
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: losing them. Yeah. So I'm just I haven't dug much

78
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: into that because I was like later in the day

79
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: that I heard about it yesterday and I'm meant to

80
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: look it up to see exactly what the whole deal

81
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: and how much that attributed to some of the misses

82
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: that I don't think it did contribute. I think the

83
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: point she was making was they were getting to a

84
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: point where it could have been an issue so essentially caballs,

85
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,239
Speaker 1: they are kicking balls. They are balls that each team

86
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: brings to the game prepared for their kicker to be

87
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: able to use, because they didn't. The way they all

88
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: started was back in the day, kickers would kind of

89
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: doctor the balls a little bit to kind of make

90
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: it better for them to kick the different The problem

91
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: was what's good for one kicker might not be good

92
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: for the others, and so you had these balls they're

93
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: playing with throughout the game that have now been doctored

94
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: by one kicker or the other, and it created this

95
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: unfair advantage. So they basically said, okay, teams, each of

96
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: you bring your own kicking balls. That's what you'll used

97
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: to kick field goals whatever. Right, The issue became that

98
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: as he was kicking these that they were going so

99
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: far wide that they weren't being they didn't hit the net.

100
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 1: And as you know, when we go down on the field,

101
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: it's a big net there that keeps the balls from

102
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: going into the stands. Well, these were so wide they

103
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: were going into the stands, and nobody retrieved him from

104
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: the stands. And so at some point they got to

105
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: a point where I think she said, I think her

106
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: report was that they were down to one kicking ball. Yeah,

107
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,559
Speaker 1: and so it could have become a problem at that point,

108
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 1: but it wasn't. It wasn't a problem to that point,

109
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: Like they still had kicking balls, they were just down

110
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: to maybe just want it. They might have had a

111
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: bum the Buccaneers kicking balls because they weren't using theirs right,

112
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: which again might be a problem because it might be

113
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: a situation where the way they make their balls work

114
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: best for their kicker might not work best for him.

115
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: So it might have made it worse at that point

116
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: because he didn't have balls that he was I think

117
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: I think something that was really said that was interesting

118
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: yesterday and it actually came from Mickey, and and I'm

119
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: not acting surprised. I just you know, Mickey came up

120
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: with it and he was he observed maher on the

121
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: field pre game, and that he was going to all

122
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: the various spots on the field and like pushing down

123
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: with his cleats, and maybe that there was some kind

124
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: of issue because they they had satted the middle between

125
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: the hashes, So where are the ball being placed? Are

126
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: you in a situation where the resorted on half and

127
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: then now you put the ball on a bad area

128
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 1: and half of a bad air and half of a

129
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: good area. So do you have an elevation maybe, or

130
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: you have something. But Mickey was made a point that

131
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: he was observing Maha and Mickey I used to stand

132
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: on the field with Mickey for the game. So he's

133
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: down there watching. But Brett Maher maybe went down there

134
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: and maybe in his head, I mean, we're again, we're

135
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: all just throwing ideas out there. But maybe as he's

136
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: trying to pat down surfaces and stuff like that, that

137
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: that man, I don't know about this. Yeah, I don't

138
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: know about kicking here and and so you know, that's

139
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: that's why in the pre game I always ask Christie

140
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: Scales about that because I know CHRISTI is going to

141
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: walk the field. I know She's going to find the

142
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: bad spots. She's gonna tell me which way the winds blow,

143
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: and she's gonna tell me, you know, so and so

144
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: missed him going this way. I mean, there was some

145
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: there were some people in pregame. I know Todd Archer

146
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: was charting the kicks before pregame and there was some

147
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: inconsistencies there. Nick mentioned that as well, and Nick did

148
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,679
Speaker 1: too exactly, so you know, There's a lot of things

149
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: going into this, um into this, but the fact that

150
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: they brought a kicker, and it goes back to the

151
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: point that Anbar has made many a time on the show,

152
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: is that you know, they're more willing now to do things.

153
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: They're not just going to let something just go on

154
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: and on. You know, they're not going to let the

155
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: Chad's green things happen where they just oh, it'll be fine,

156
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: let's just keep going, let's keep you know, they they

157
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: least are building in now plans that if something doesn't work,

158
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: be ready to replace. And you know, like I said this,

159
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: you know the kicker here. You know it's got a

160
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: small history. You've been with a lot of teams, but

161
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: that might be your answer to move on in a

162
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: divisional round game if he has to get in there.

163
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: So now the decision has been made. Obviously they have

164
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: a guy on their practice squad, they have another kicker.

165
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: There are two decisions I think that have to be

166
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: made at this point. I want to hear your opinions

167
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: on what you think should happen. One should he be active.

168
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 1: So now you're going to take an active roster spot

169
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: and use it on a second kicker right there? Or

170
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 1: two and two. I'm sorry and I want you guys

171
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: to answer both of these two. How long is your

172
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: leash if if you get one miss? Are you at

173
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: that point like, hey, we're gonna just go with the

174
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: other guy, or do you say, hey, I'm gonna ride

175
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: with maher through this game and this guy is more

176
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: of just my insurance. If we have another bad game

177
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 1: and we still win, then I will continue using what

178
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: do you think happen? Do we secretly have a Jeff

179
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: Heath on the team? I don't know afore yeah, like

180
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: and because that's the with as many as the like

181
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: injuries that have happened, having an extra guy that's a

182
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: huge thing, especially at that position for the kicker. It's

183
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: just a tough one. And I don't know who you

184
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: would take out. I know you can't elevate two guys

185
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: from the practice squad game day, but who are you

186
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: sitting out? Like not even white guy? But what position

187
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: are you taking away from in case of an injury?

188
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: Now I'm looking at the old line issues with guys.

189
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: Obviously they made it through Jason Peters came out and

190
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 1: they did that. But now are you bringing up somebody

191
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: else an extra guy or on the old line. Are

192
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: you bringing somebody else for the secondary with Darren Curse,

193
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: who's supposed to be one hundred percent ready, But things

194
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: like that that you need to account for. I don't

195
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: know who. I don't know. It's it's really really tough

196
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: because you do have those injuries. Yeah, you know you

197
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: do have the injuries. I mean with Curse. Curse will

198
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: tell you he's one hundred percent. Curse is not one

199
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: hundred percent, but you know what, he'll play like he's

200
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. And so now do you worry about

201
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: can you afford to you know, you mentioned the offensive line,

202
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: you know you mentioned you know they're gonna be They're

203
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna be short this week because Jason Peters.

204
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 1: They brought Collins up last week. Collins, Yeah, that's one

205
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 1: where you might look at it and you might say, hey,

206
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: we already had him active last week, so maybe you

207
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: sit Peters and that becomes a spot that you could use.

208
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's it's one of those things where

209
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: I think the only player on the forty eight that

210
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 1: doesn't play is Cooper Rush. Everybody else plays, so everybody

211
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: else has a role in the game. So here you

212
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 1: are in a playoff game and use forty seven to

213
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: or forty eight players in the game. So now who

214
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: you take in? Who the forty seven? Who are you

215
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: going to take away? You know, who do you determine

216
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: is going to be that guy? And there's really not

217
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: any place that you can really really go light you know,

218
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: I just don't feel like it with some of the

219
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: injuries that you're dealing with. Uh, you know that that's

220
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: that's the man. It would be tough to sit there

221
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: and say, Okay, we're gonna we're gonna play with forty

222
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: seven guys. We're really forty six guys. If the kicker

223
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: and Cooper Rush both don't play well, now you're going

224
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: into a divisional playoff game one player short. Yeah, you know,

225
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: and that's that's that's a problem. I know this. Obviously,

226
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: I don't have a great answer for you. By the way,

227
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: you don't have you don't have to hear not the coach, right,

228
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 1: we talk about the field and the win and just

229
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: the environment overall. How he changes from you having what

230
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: you're usually accustomed to here in your own practice field,

231
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: but does what you watch him do throughout this week

232
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: at practice changes at all. Like let's say he's perfect

233
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: and he makes everything or whatever. That wouldn't change your mind. Honestly,

234
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: that doesn't change anything for me, because the way I

235
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: look at it is you can simulate as much as

236
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: you want. Now let me let me put it in context.

237
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: If let's say, for example, last week, he had a

238
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: great week of practice and then obviously at the game

239
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: what happened happened, then this week doesn't matter to me.

240
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: Now it can go bad, Like if he has a

241
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 1: week of practice where he's missing everything, then I start

242
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: really wondering, like does he have it mentally to be

243
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: able to do this and turn this around. But if

244
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: he's been having good practices these last several weeks and

245
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: he still had the performance like he did, then no

246
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: matter what he does in practice this week, I would

247
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: personally be a little worried about what I'm going to

248
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: see once game day gets here. And that's the reason

249
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: why I think I'm looking for a way. I don't

250
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: know what it is, but I'm looking for a way

251
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 1: to have this second kicker available. Now, if I get

252
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: into a situation where I look at it and and I'm like,

253
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: I don't think I can then I'm spending in an

254
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: nordant amount of time this week on what am I

255
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: doing on fourth down? What kind of plays do I

256
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: love that I can run on fourth down? And quite frankly,

257
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: I actually think my herd to work his way out

258
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: of this. It may not beat through kicking extra points.

259
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: It maybe give him a fifty yarder. Is what we

260
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: know about this guy is once he gets out in

261
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: those that deep territory, oh he's money. And so I'm

262
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: almost like, let him work out of it with longer

263
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: kicks than shorter kicks, because right now the shorter kicks

264
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: are the ones that are in his head. Yeah me personally,

265
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: I know, I said, I don't have an answer, but

266
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: I'll try here. I think I carry the extra kicker.

267
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: I just can't take a chance in the game. I can't.

268
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lose a game because you missed the

269
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 1: thirty eight yard field goal. I mean that if you

270
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: get out there and it's a field goal, maybe not

271
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: even an extra point, but it's a field it's the

272
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: first field goal of the game. You drive, you get stalled,

273
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: it's a forty yard field gold and he misses. Now

274
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: I've now I know where I am, I'm gonna use

275
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: the other kicker, and here we go. And if that

276
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: guy misses two, then now we got planned planned C,

277
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: which is go forward on fourth down, go for two

278
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: point plays, and hope that you know the hope you

279
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: can hang in there long enough that the game doesn't

280
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: get away from me because you're giving away points. Yeah,

281
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna be amber. No, I was. I was looking

282
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: back kind of the history of his career for this guy,

283
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: how do you say his last name? I think it's Viscano, Viscano, Yes,

284
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: tristan um, Tristan, let's call him rist Uh. I mean

285
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: he's kind of switch around, jumped around the league for

286
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: a little bit. But looking at just his overall UH career,

287
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: he's made eleven out of twelve field goals, but then

288
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: on extra point fifteen of twenty and That's where I'm like, Okay,

289
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: that doesn't make me feel that much better. And he

290
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: has he even been in an environment that it's playoffs environment,

291
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: which kind of you know how the nerves go up

292
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: there and then how everything switches. So what I'm trying

293
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: to say is this guy is what he's coming in

294
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: experience wise, doesn't make me feel that much greater. You

295
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: would hate that your season would come down to a

296
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: miskick being that being how Brett maher has been great

297
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: all year, you know, until this last game, he's been great,

298
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: and that if you if if going into the Tampa game,

299
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: we would have said the number one concerned I have

300
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: of the Cowboys is a kicking game. Everybody looked at

301
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: each other, like, what you know, I you know, maybe

302
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: you bring it up after what happened in the Commander's game.

303
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: He misses an extra point, was the only extra point.

304
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: Now what if they score a bunch of points against

305
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:58,479
Speaker 1: the Commanders and he's missing them, Then now you're going, oh, okay,

306
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: all right, so maybe we do have an issue here

307
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: at kicker. But the fact that it was one miss

308
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: extra point and that's all Dallas did for scoring, you know,

309
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: he never kicked the field goal or anything like that.

310
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: I mean, his miss is on extra points. There were

311
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: three of them before this game. One miss two blocks.

312
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: Wasn't like he was, you know, wasn't like it was him,

313
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: it was you know, one of them was. But other

314
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: than that, man, it's this is tough. This is really

315
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: really tough because you need all your players and you

316
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: really want to give him the benefit of doubt. I mean,

317
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: he has made a ton of big kicks for this

318
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: team this year, and I personally thought he was having

319
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl type season. Now you look around the league,

320
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: and his percentages as good as he did, there were

321
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: still lots of kickers out there that had that were

322
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: ranked higher than him when you just look at the

323
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: statistics of it. But just looking at when this team

324
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: needed him to make kicks, and even some of those

325
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: kicks being extremely long like that that goes back to

326
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: back to back fifty six yard kicks like that, to

327
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: me was impressive, extremely impressive. And so I look at

328
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: this and I'm like, I want to give him the

329
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt. And that's what the one reason

330
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 1: why I don't pull the trigger. I mean, I don't

331
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 1: pull the trigger on moving on from him. I look

332
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: at that and say, everybody on this team has had

333
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: at least one week this season where they were just off.

334
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that this

335
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: was the week when he was just off. That doesn't

336
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: mean that I don't want an insurance policy that this

337
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: is more than just an off week, because at this

338
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: point of season, you can't afford that, especially at the

339
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: position kicker. And that's why I loved what CD said.

340
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: And if you guys haven't seen sounds of the sidelines,

341
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: Alex killed it again. Yes, as always make sure to

342
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: check it out on Dallas Holways dot com and on

343
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: social media. But CD just coming to the bench and

344
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: just letting him know, like, hey, you're good, like, don't

345
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: worry about him. You've I don't remember the exact word

346
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: many times, which is one hundred percent, So just kind

347
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: of seeing that support that you know, okay, a guy

348
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: like like that, you need that, you need that after

349
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: you have such a day, such a bad day. But

350
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: it's true, Bred Maher has bailed them out so many

351
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 1: times this year, so many times that the offense wouldn't

352
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: be able to get to the end zone and score

353
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: a touchdown. And now you got him kicking and even

354
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 1: those fifty yarders making those so me personally, I'm a diver, like,

355
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: let's give him the benefit of the doubt. Now. When

356
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: you said, how long is that leash? If it happens

357
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: and they do have the other kicker, Tristan Active, I

358
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 1: would say too, I wouldn't just set him out after

359
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: the first miss if he misses the second one, then

360
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, that's that's it. My leash would be too, missus.

361
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: How about you? That sounds about right, And it also

362
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: to me, it depends on what stage how the game's

363
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: playing out. If it's a really really close game and

364
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: you have an opportunity to be able to either you're

365
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: behind and this is an opportunity to catch up, or

366
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: you're in the lead by very narrow margin and this

367
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: was your opportunity to kind of give yourself a little

368
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 1: bit of a cushion. If it's that kind of game,

369
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: close game, then maybe after one miss, if it's the

370
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 1: first kick of the game, then I'm may be willing

371
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,239
Speaker 1: to say, hey, let me do something a little different here,

372
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 1: let me change this up a little bit. Maybe let

373
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: me go for go for it on a fourth down,

374
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: or maybe, you know whatever. I would be thinking of

375
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: other options after a first miss. If it's the first

376
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: kick of the game. Now let's say he gets the

377
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: first kick and then he misses a second. Now I

378
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: might be a little bit more like, Okay, let me

379
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 1: see if I want to hold. But if he misses

380
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 1: that first one, I'm really thinking about it. In a

381
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: close game, because as we know, it's a good team,

382
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk about here in this segment, it's

383
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 1: a really good team. You're not gonna have a lot

384
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: of opportunities at the end zone. You wouldn't think, so

385
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: every point is going to matter for this team. And

386
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 1: that's where I'm a little bit, you know, I just

387
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: was looking at his numbers and I was trying to

388
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: whether there was a game where he made a bunch

389
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 1: of fifty yard field goals in the game. It was like, incredible,

390
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: he had like four or fifty yard field goals. I

391
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: think it was we made the Command game because I

392
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,719
Speaker 1: was looking. He was four for four in that game. Uh,

393
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,959
Speaker 1: you know, earlier in the year, he was four for

394
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: four and field goals against Minnesota, which was a big win.

395
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: He was four for four and a huge win against Philadelphia.

396
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 1: You know. I mean, there's just so many things to say,

397
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 1: you know, positive and confident about this player and for him,

398
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: and maybe it was just one bad day. Maybe you

399
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: just but with kickers, you don't know, because that's the

400
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: one position that's so hard to evaluate, I mean, other

401
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: than quarterback. Yeah, quarterbacks are hard to evaluate. Two yeah,

402
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: but it is like we we all watched, we all

403
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: watched Dan Bailey. We all watched Dan Bailey here, and

404
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: we saw Dan Bailey and then we saw it was

405
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: Dan Bailey. You know, he started missing a go Was

406
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: he hurt? Is something wrong? You know? We found out Yeah,

407
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: he's got he had some issues and stuff. But once

408
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: you have a guy that's just so reliable, then all

409
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 1: of a sudden goes south, you really don't have any answers. Yeah,

410
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 1: especially yeah go south in a big way. And and

411
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: now the games are just so magnified, you know. I mean,

412
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,479
Speaker 1: one missed extra point could be the difference of you

413
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: going on or going home. And that's man that I'm

414
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: just I don't know what I'm gonna think. If it's

415
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: a game winning field goal and he's gonna line up,

416
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: and I don't know. I usually you would think we're

417
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: going on, we're moving on, And now I'm thinking, I

418
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 1: don't want to look, you know, I don't want to look.

419
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let the crowd tell me where this thing

420
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: is going. I'll tell you the one thing I would

421
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: do if I was Mike McCarthy. The first opportunity I

422
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: come up on where it's fourth down in field goal range,

423
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: kick it. I don't go for without hesitation. I'm like

424
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,959
Speaker 1: field goal because I want him to know. Honestly, I

425
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: want him to know. If I want him to know,

426
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: I believe in you. I'm confidenting you. We're not going

427
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: to change it. We're gonna do right now because I

428
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: trust you, and go out there and make the kick.

429
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: I would keep things as normal as I normally would,

430
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 1: and I would send him right out there to kick it.

431
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: And my hope is that mentally that gives him a

432
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 1: little bit more of a boost of confidence, like my

433
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 1: team still believes in me. I got this. I've been

434
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: doing this all year. I'll just do what i'd do.

435
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 1: He makes that first kick, here we go, and now

436
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: we'll roll again, right, And so I just wouldn't hesitate

437
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: at all. I would immediately send him out there and

438
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: let's let's get it done. All right, Let's take our

439
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 1: first break. We'll come back. We'll jump into San Francisco

440
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: defense versus a Dallas offense. We'll ride back Dallas Cowboys

441
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 1: dot Com Radio. Todd thought it would be secure to

442
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: Jog and the Cheetahs Savanta. Todd believed the big Cat

443
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 1: repellent he bought online was reliable, and now Todd is

444
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: trying to be faster than this cheetah that can run

445
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: eighty miles per hour. But the good news is Todd

446
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 1: has at and T five G. It is fast, reliable,

447
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: and secure, and he learned the best thing to do

448
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: is stop running and toss her the backpack with the

449

Speaker 1: beef stew at and T five G. Fast, reliable, secure,

450
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,160

Speaker 1: brought to you by blockchain dot com. Let's talk about

494
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers defense versus Dallas offense. Brian. I

495
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 1: know you said you had an opportunity to I did

496
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: some of your contacts around the league. Some coaches I

497
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 1: think I did around the league who have faced to

498
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine Ers. What have they told you

499
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: about best ways to match up with this defense? I

500
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 1: will tell you this I did. I talked to a

501
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: coach and I got another one that I have to

502
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: talk to after the show today that it's going to

503
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 1: help me. But yeah, this is a guy that played

504
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers this year and gave me an

505
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: idea of how to attack them. And I was like, cool,

506
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: let's sear it and what the notes. I'm just going

507
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: to read from my notes what this is. I'll try

508
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 1: to organize it the best I can for you. Here

509
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: he does. This coach told me it was harder preparing

510
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: for Todd Bowles, who the Cowboys played last week, as

511
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: opposed to Damiko Ryans. And he said what he says,

512
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: Todd Bowles is always going to come up with something

513
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: you probably haven't seen. He says, Demico trust his guys more,

514
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: and when he plays games against teams that they feel

515
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: like they're better than, they'll play it pretty straight up.

516
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: My guy said, Demico will have something ready for you.

517
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: He'll have some type of blitz package or something that

518
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: you know that they haven't used or you know, maybe

519
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: they made they've have used, but they're gonna bring it

520
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: back out. But this, this coach said, it Bowls, who

521
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 1: you saw last week, is tougher to prepare for. He says,

522
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 1: it's a lot of the Seattle principles that we've seen

523
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: when they play with the zone coverages and stuff, and

524
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: then on third down you're going to get the man

525
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: principles out of this. This coach told me. He says,

526
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 1: I believe they're going to try and take away Shultz

527
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: in this game. And I'm like, I'm like, oh, you know,

528
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: because you're thinking CD or you know somebody else, like

529
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 1: coach goes Now, what they're concerned about is the middle

530
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: of their defense. They're concerned that they're not very good

531
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: at safety. That's their biggest concern. So what happens is

532
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: that whoever's the biggest threat to the middle of their

533
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: defense would be the guy that they try and and

534
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: hone in on. So I was like, all right, that

535
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense because when you look at

536
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: Hafenga and Gibson their two safeties, it makes sense watching

537
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: them on tape. We were talking about that a little bit,

538
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: you know, yesterday and then and then on our show

539
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: one three the Fan, we were talking about it because

540
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: the matchups are a problem for them. They don't cover

541
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: the tight ends. If you go back and watch the

542
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: Raiders game, they Darren Waller had a huge game against

543
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: these guys because of stuff that was happening in the

544
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: middle of the field. So that's a big, big concern.

545
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: You know, he was saying, listen, give the Raiders a

546
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: lot of credit for the way they were attacking down

547
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: the field. They got the protection that they needed, and

548
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 1: that's going to be the really the way of the

549
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 1: key that he goes. What he said is you can't

550
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 1: let this be a two minute game. And by saying

551
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: that two minute game turns into a Nick Bosa game,

552
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 1: because when Nick Bosa is just all he knows is

553
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 1: rushing the passer, that's a two minute game. He's hand down.

554
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: Here we go that kind of thing. He says, the

555
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: minute you turn that into a two minute game, it's

556
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: a problem for you, not for them, because it plays

557
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: right in their strength. He also says, you need to

558
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: run the ball at Nick Bosa. You know, it's similar

559
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: what we see with what teams do with Michael Parsons.

560
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: You know, you think, oh jeez, stay away. No, if

561
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: you run the ball away, what does Michael Parsons do chases?

562
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: What does Nick Bosa do chases? So you take it

563
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: at them, make them have to play the point of attack.

564
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: He could take some of the steam out of his

565
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: pass rush or something. He says, Fred warner the linebacker.

566
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: The linebacker is very hard to fool, he says, you can't.

567
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: The problem is the way they play with some of

568
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: their zone coverages. If you just let him read the

569
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: quarterback and react, he's going to make all the plays.

570
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: He's really really good, he's really smart, has a has

571
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: a feel for how to play in those coverage lanes.

572
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: But the guy also said, though he tackles well, but

573
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: he goes, that's another guy you can run at. You

574
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: can run at him because he's because he's Sometimes they'll

575
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: jump around blocks and things like that, so you can

576
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: maybe My coach here said, change the tempo of the game. Okay,

577
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: this plays into the Cowboys. This plays into the Cowboys.

578
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: Uh ahnds here because they love to they love to

579
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,239
Speaker 1: play fast. They'll slow it down and they'll you know,

580
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: but they but they if they get into a mode,

581
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: he says, make sure you just keep going. Keep If

582
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: you haven't success, change the tempo, keep playing. Here mentioned

583
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: again too about you have to win the middle of

584
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: the field, especially on third down. That's where that's where

585
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: that's the best spot to attack the forty nine ers

586
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: is on third down. I think that their two corners

587
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: can give up some plays. I think Lenore and I

588
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: think Ward. If you get protection in the way, you're

589
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: going to probably get some protection is what we talk about.

590
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: I do feel like the Cowboys can hold up against

591
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: botha one on one, but they also this coach said,

592
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: if you get in twelve personnel and you make them

593
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: have to play a little bit wider, if you make

594
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: those rushers, if you can secure the edges, get the

595
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: ball out, work the middle of the field, then you

596
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: could have some success doing that way. So that was

597
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: let me see. Oh. He said that the checkdown the

598
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: pollard in these games, in this game is going to

599
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: be huge because they tackle well. But he says, the

600
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: thing about it is if you break tackles on these guys,

601
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: you have a chance for some big, big plays. And

602
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: they think that pollard, the checkdowns the pollard are going

603
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: to be really good to check down the backs. And

604
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: I said, coach, these guys don't run screens very well.

605
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: And he says, if you have a screen, a tight

606
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: end screen, some type of screens, because they're gonna want

607
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: to get up the field, but you have you know,

608
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: when not playing man coverage, they're going to drop into zones.

609
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: You can maybe get the ball to the back and

610
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: then blocks as they're coming forward. So those are some

611
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,479
Speaker 1: of the thoughts of a coach coach that played against

612
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine ers this year. A lot

613
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: of good stuff. That's a kind of like yesterday, right,

614
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: It's like, where do you really start with all that? Well,

615
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: I think it starts with Nick Bosa myself. I know,

616
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: I went on my station yesterday and made a lot

617
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: of people mad in San Francisco Land because I said

618
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: I felt like that Smith and Smith could hold up

619
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: with Nick Bosa. I do if they were to go

620
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: in and defend this game with taking out the tight end.

621
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: Let's say, how much does that do you feel like

622
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: it changes the game for Dad? Because, like we saw

623
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: even last week, he relied a lot on Dalton Shoultz

624
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: and we've seen it through his career even this year.

625
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: The guy that he can go in and tends to

626
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: do better with is a tight end. Whoever, it is

627
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: a tight end. So if they kind of take him

628
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: out of the game, how do you think that truly

629
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: affects him? My question would be are we seeing that

630
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: with Dalton? Because teams say we're not that Dalton isn't

631
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: the guy who're gonna double double, right, We're gonna worry

632
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: about Cede Lamb right, And so if CD is the

633
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: guy that they think they're gonna take out, and this

634
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: team says, you know, we're gonna take out Dalton Schultz, okay,

635
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: Like and especially I was sitting there listening to Brian

636
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: talk about the corners and vulnerability at the corners, I'm like, Okay,

637
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: if you're worried about the middle of the field, and

638
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: you're worried about Dalton Schultz, I'm looking at my two

639
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: speedy guys, or my guys I know they can get

640
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: down field, Like Gallup who can go downfield. We know

641
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: he can do that. T Y Hilton, who's a speed guy.

642
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: I'm looking at sending them down the field on the corners.

643
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: And if you're worried about the middle field and that

644
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: safety's gonna stay in the middle to try to take

645
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: out Dalton, I welcome that. I think Dad should have

646
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:46,239
Speaker 1: a That means DA's gonna have some opportunities for some

647
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: big plays against this offense, I mean against this defense,

648
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: and I think that's what you're gonna need in order

649
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: to be able to win all the teams that have

650
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: beaten this team, they've had big plays in their offense,

651
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: like they have gone downfield and exploited that. So if

652
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: that's the way they played Dallas, I think it plays

653
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: right into their hand. It also create creates more room

654
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: for error as far as like interceptions and how well

655
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: some of their guys could possibly get their hands on

656
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: the ball and create an interception for that. Yeah, their front,

657
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: their front I think masks some of the I think

658
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: I think there's two teams here playing this game that

659
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: they're fronts mask the deficiencies they have in the secondary.

660
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: Dallas's pass rush I think masks the issues that they

661
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,239
Speaker 1: have at corner, and I think the forty nine ers

662
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: are the same team. I think that when you talk

663
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: about kin Law, Armstead, Bosa, green Law, all these guys

664
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: that can a men, who these guys that can attack

665
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback, they they they cause problems and it helps

666
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: their secondary because, like I said, this coach was saying,

667
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: if you could block their front, and the tape shows

668
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: that the Raiders block their front, ball was going down

669
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: the field. They it was almost like they didn't respect

670
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 1: back that stood him the quarterback at the Raiders, It's

671
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: like they they they they they loaded the box thinking

672
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: it's Jacob's run, Jacob's run, Jacob's run, and that was

673
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: and they shut him down pretty much, I think at

674
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: sixty nine yards or something. But the throat, the way

675
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: they threw the ball was incredible, you know. But they

676
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: were able to block so well up front that even

677
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: when Stidham had to move around a little bit, that

678
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 1: he was able to find guys to pick off. I mean,

679
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 1: Adams was incredible that game. And not to say that,

680
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: you know, CD's a CD's been playing great, and you

681
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: would hope that he would have the type of game

682
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,919
Speaker 1: that Adams had against him, you know, throwing the ball

683
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,479
Speaker 1: down the field. But it's gonna come down to can

684
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: you block this front. That's where this and it always is.

685
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to block your front and you're gonna

686
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: have to block their front. And I'll tell you the

687
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,399
Speaker 1: other thing that I think will be critical to that

688
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: is how much is Dack willing to run the ball.

689
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 1: I love that you say on third down they tend

690
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 1: to go man. Yeah, that means on third down there

691
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: creates opportunities where the defense is the defensive backs their

692
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: back is to the quarterback. He's gonna have some opportunities,

693
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 1: and especially for an aggressive rushing defense that's coming all forward,

694
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: if Dak finds that seam and gets out of it

695
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: and runs, he's gonna have some daylight moments, right, and

696
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: that's going to force their their pass rush to slow

697
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: down a little bit, which again Negate, it's it's what

698
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: teams have done to the Cowboys and some instances, well

699
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 1: they've played these running types of quarterbacks. So I look

700
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: at this and I'm thinking, I actually like all this

701
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: stuff you're saying because it to me it kind of

702
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 1: factors into what you want Dallas to be able to

703
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: do offensively. Yeah, if they're able to that's the thing,

704
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: and that's why both these teams are where they are.

705
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,280
Speaker 1: They're the final you know, they're the final teams because

706
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: they play well on defense and they're capable. I think

707
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: the thing that just the thing for me for Dallas's

708
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: offense is can they just maintain the consistency. I think

709
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: Dallas could beat anybody in the NFL if they don't

710
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: turn over the ball. I really do. I just it's

711
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: when they get it's those turnovers that create doubt. And

712
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: now are we are? We are? We willing to throw it?

713
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: Are you sew it? Doc? When he was the way

714
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: he was just bam bam bam, and there was separation,

715
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 1: there were balls where they needed to be. You know,

716
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 1: they were converting, they were you know, it was it's

717
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: this offense is really fun to watch when they're playing

718
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: that way. But that, like I say, can you get

719
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 1: the consistency? I think that's a word that you used

720
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 1: the other day to talk about. Can you get that

721
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,919
Speaker 1: consistency to from week to week? And you know we'll

722
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: see this week for sure. Let's take our final break.

778
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,960

781
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: on the sheet. He just doesn't love the read. He

782
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,359
Speaker 1: doesn't love the read. Yeah. Yeah, I think he'd probably

783
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: write him a little differently if it was up to him.

784
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 1: But all right, let's let's jump back in. Let's talk

785
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,399
Speaker 1: about the office of line. You mentioned the Smith's at

786
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: the two tackles. It's my personal belief that I think

787
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: they're actually better off with Tyler Smith at left tackle

788
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: than they would have been with Jason Peters. Let's assume

789
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,879
Speaker 1: Jason can't play this weekend. Yeah, what are your thoughts

790
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: on that? Yeah, I don't think you're gonna get Jason

791
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 1: Peters this weekend. I think the hip flexor problem, man,

792
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 1: You know, as we speak on Let's Day Thursday. Yeah, yeah,

793
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: I say that's going to be a problem. Why they

794
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: better off against this matchup? I think so? To me,

795
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,399
Speaker 1: this is it's it's never easy because Bosa is going

796
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: to work both sides. This is never easy. You know,

797
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 1: we've seen Tyron Smith breakdown. I mean last year, you know,

798
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: a game it against the forty nine ers. I think

799
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 1: Bosa got hurt in this game two last year as well,

800
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,399
Speaker 1: you know, got nicked up a little bit. But he's

801
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: such a dynamic player, you know when you talk about

802
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: a rusher and how he's able to dip and get

803
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 1: around and stuff. And now you're playing with crowd noise

804
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: and all that stuff like that you're having to deal with.

805
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,360
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think that having Tyler Smith out of

806
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: left you know, he's he's he's navigated this season very nicely.

807
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to talk about guys to

808
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 1: deserve the game ball from last week, Tyler Smith deserves

809
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,879
Speaker 1: a game ball just for the fact that he had

810
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 1: to deal with Vita Veay and that whole thing. You

811
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: know that, and then all of a sudden it's like, oh, well,

812
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: by the way, now right before the half, you're going

813
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 1: to shift out to left tackle. Okay, the Tampa Bay

814
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: didn't have the dynamic pass rushers, but still you're dealing

815
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: with a game of having to worry about blocking this

816
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:18,800
Speaker 1: guy who's perennial All Pro type of a noseman power

817
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: guy to like, Okay, now I got to shift all

818
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 1: the way to the outside and now deal with some

819
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:28,760
Speaker 1: speed and so yeah, it's it's impressive what he can do. Dallas,

820
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 1: Like I say, they can make plays. If they if

821
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: the Smith's Law firm of Smith and Smith can can

822
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 1: block these edges and secure these edges, they they can

823
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 1: make some plays on the secondary. Yeah, happy about that?

824
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 1: I mean, because there were times even this past game

825
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: and they did a really nice job with the offensive line,

826
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: especially with Peter's coming out and just kind of regrouping

827
00:41:56,360 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: and making those changes. But there were times where they

828
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,479
Speaker 1: did get to that, and there were times where Dad

829
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: did have to run and luckily he had a great

830
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,800
Speaker 1: game and he was able to run really really good.

831
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: But it's you keep mentioning Bosa and in going into

832
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 1: this game, that is one area that still does scare me.

833
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,959
Speaker 1: What happens. Can we get the dak that had that

834
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: focus and mentality as he did last week, Like before

835
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: the break, you mentioned consistency, and that's one of the things.

836
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 1: It's like, yes, it depends how the previous game goes,

837
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 1: you know, how Okay, they played really good and then

838
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,919
Speaker 1: they got that very important win in a playoff game.

839
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 1: How are they right now mentally? Like is it like

840
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,800
Speaker 1: are they kind of feeling themselves a little bit or

841
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: they're still like super humble right now? Is Dad gonna

842
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,879
Speaker 1: and he's really tough and we know he has very

843
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: a lot of mental toughness, but can he be that

844
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: guy that can just if he if they get to

845
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: him and create pressure and sack him, can he play

846
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: after play, snap after snap kind of maintain his school

847
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: and focus or is this a game where they can disrupt,

848
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 1: you know, and create that kind of what's the word

849
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: I'm looking for, hesitation uneasiness with that? Well, you know,

850
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 1: here's my thing. What I go back to is I

851
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: think the point in the season when I saw the

852
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:31,240
Speaker 1: offensive line play its best was when you had Tyron Smith.

853
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:34,720
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you had Tyler Smith at left tackle, Connomer

854
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 1: Governor at left guard, Beyondash at center, Zack Martin at

855
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: right tackle, and I'm sorry right guard and then you

856
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 1: had Terrence Steele at right tackle. That was the best

857
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 1: lineup that they had out there. The way I look

858
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 1: at that is, Okay, take me back to that as

859
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: much as I can, and if I'm subbing out Terrence

860
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: Steele for Tyron Smith, I feel as good about that

861
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: as any combination as Cowboys team can run out there.

862
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,280
Speaker 1: I don't think at this point from what I've seen

863
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 1: my opinion, and I don't think Jason Peters is somebody

864
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: you can rely on for a full game, not at all.

865
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, and by the way, he filled in a

866
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: role that you needed for him to ge in as

867
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 1: as you know, I told my wife this, like that

868
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: injury reminds me of kind of where I am in

869
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: life right now, where I'm no, not just running, but

870
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,240
Speaker 1: like literally I'm around the house. I see a box

871
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I probably need to move that box,

872
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:23,839
Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, I probably ought to use my back,

873
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 1: but I'm like, no, I'll power through it, and I

874
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 1: just lift it. And then as soon as I lifted,

875
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, that was a bad idea, and now

876
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: my back's gonna hurt for the next two weeks. Yeah,

877
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 1: It's that kind of thing. It's like he tried to

878
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 1: do the reach block and then it was kind of like,

879
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I'm forty years old and and so that's

880
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 1: the nature of it. He filled a role for you.

881
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: He played that role. You got him much as much

882
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:44,320
Speaker 1: out of him as you could not go back to

883
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: the young guy way. You got so much out of

884
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: him even off the field, like not you get the

885
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 1: on field stuff when he came in and played, so

886
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 1: some snaps for you the off field and how much

887
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: he's been able to teach these guys and you see

888
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: it like you watch that do you watch the sidelines

889
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 1: and you see the relationship and you see how much

890
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,840
Speaker 1: he is there like a coach, just as another coach.

891
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 1: So I really appreciate like his presence, the type of

892
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:16,800
Speaker 1: stuff that he was able to bring this year, even

893
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 1: off the field for these younger guys. Yeah, it's uh,

894
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 1: you know, they protected themselves and they got what they

895
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 1: needed out of him. And you know, the the hip

896
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 1: flex or for an older guy is not an easy

897
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: thing to come back from, you know. I mean that's

898
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:32,320
Speaker 1: something that he's gonna you know, any lower body power

899
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: and getting away from the line and stuff like that.

900
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 1: So I just keep going back the confidence I have

901
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 1: in this offense, and I mean this with all sincerity.

902
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 1: I think they played a better defense against Philadelphia. I

903
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 1: think they played a better and they had really nice

904
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 1: success moving the football against Philadelphia. But you're talking about

905
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: pass rushers, talk about sec overall, I think Philadelphia's defense

906
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:02,280
Speaker 1: is better, and you move the ball against them very well.

907
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 1: That's that is my hope going into this game, that

908
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 1: you figure out that, Okay, how do we move the

909
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:12,439
Speaker 1: ball then against a really good secondary and a pass rush.

910
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:14,960
Speaker 1: You know, I think they if San Francisco's got a

911
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: really good tackling team, really good tackling team. Their front's good,

912
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 1: the linebackers good, the secondary is their issue, and if

913
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 1: you find a way to somehow, some way block this front,

914
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,280
Speaker 1: you know, much like you did Philadelphia. But you made

915
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 1: plays against Philadelphia. You know, you also created turnovers too,

916
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: and Brett Maher made all those field goals as well.

917
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 1: There's a lot of other things that have to happen. Yeah,

918
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: but but I don't think this team is unbeatable. I

919
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 1: think that's the one thing I've learned is that they

920
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 1: got a lot of weapons, and there's a lot of

921
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:44,879
Speaker 1: things on paper you look at and you're like, man,

922
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 1: I don't know how you beat the team. But when

923
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 1: you really start diving into it, there are reasons to

924
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 1: believe this is not an unbeatable team. And I think

925
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 1: Dallas is gonna have to play their very best game.

926
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to do what they did last week

927
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 1: against a better opponent in order to win. But it's

928
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 1: not it's not like this is something that can't be done. No,

929
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 1: They've got and then and it's I think a lot

930
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 1: of it. It's gonna hinge on Dallas's defense though too.

931
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 1: How you play McCaffrey, you know, I mean, he's outstanding

932
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: as a player. How you deal with these wide receivers?

933
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 1: How do you deal with all the all the things

934
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: that they're gonna show you. They're gonna make you, they're

935
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 1: gonna stretch the field on you, and they're gonna make

936
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 1: you probably play a little bit unconventionally. And are you

937
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 1: willing to fall into that trap or are you going

938
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 1: to say, no, no, this is what we do. We're

939
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 1: gonna match it this way. So this is why it's

940
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 1: a playoff game. I actually think this might be a

941
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 1: game where this may be a game where defensively, we

942
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 1: might see a lot of those three safeties. Yeah, because

943
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 1: this is not a team that threatens you deep down

944
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 1: the field a lot. This is a game that has

945
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 1: a lot of short and intermediate throws. And especially if

946
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna say, hey, we kind of stick with what

947
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 1: we do, We're gonna stay in where we are, they

948
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 1: may opt to say we'll have three safeties on the field,

949
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 1: so we think we have the bulk to stop your run, right.

950
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 1: We also think we got the athletes to be able

951
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 1: to run with you across the field, to be able

952
00:47:58,040 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 1: to get into zones that where you're trying to throw

953
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: the all, be able to quickly react rally to the ball,

954
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,359
Speaker 1: make tackles. I could see a game like that where

955
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: they just say we're gonna stick with what we do.

956
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 1: We're not gonna let you move us out of what

957
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,319
Speaker 1: we do because the personnel that we have can morph

958
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: into whatever you try to do without us having to

959
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 1: move people around too much. Be a great game, he will,

960
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 1: It'll be a fun chess match real quick. Going back

961
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 1: to the old line. Terren Smith, he popped up on

962
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: the injury report, on the practice report, and he was

963
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 1: a full participant, but it was the knee that popped up.

964
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:33,400
Speaker 1: So any scenario where something happens in the game and

965
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 1: he got it, he has to come out. What's your combination,

966
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: what's your line looking like? Ball right? Ball would play tackle? Yeah,

967
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:49,879
Speaker 1: I mean you can't unless you know you're not gonna

968
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 1: you're not gonna move. You're gonna you're gonna keep everybody

969
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 1: the same. You're not gonna move Zach Martin, But Colin,

970
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: would you maybe think Collins because I'm kind of I

971
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 1: don't know if Collins may be a better answer than Ball.

972
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 1: I just have no faith in Ball right now. Nobody

973
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 1: really does. But you're to that point where now you're

974
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:08,840
Speaker 1: trying to mask, like we're talking about, you're trying to

975
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 1: mask problems. And so you put him on the you

976
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 1: put him on that, you know, ball on the outside.

977
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 1: You put tight end over there, you have wing over there,

978
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 1: you chip over there. I mean, they're probably gonna have

979
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 1: to do that anyway. You know, you're probably gonna have

980
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: to do that to help a little bit with Bosa

981
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 1: being over there. But if it's if it's Ball over there,

982
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna make it's almost gonna look like a punt

983
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 1: return where you're like you're you're doubling the you know,

984
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 1: you got both guys like on Bosa, like right there,

985
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of what that's going to turn into.

986
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: A ball has to play right tackle, to be honest

987
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:40,200
Speaker 1: with you, no matter who they put in there, if

988
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 1: that were to happen, they immediately become a target for

989
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:46,399
Speaker 1: San Francisco's defense. I'm sure they are like Bosa, you're

990
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 1: not moving around anymore. We know where you're going to be,

991
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 1: and we're coming and we're coming regularly. And so that's

992
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 1: just gonna be one of those situations where you really

993
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 1: don't have a great answer for. Yeah, I hope Dallas

994
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:58,800
Speaker 1: this ability to can can run the football, though I'd

995
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:00,720
Speaker 1: like to see them trying to war or this forty

996
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 1: nine or defense down if they can, because they want

997
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 1: to rush the passer, they want to get up field.

998
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,360
Speaker 1: They're very physical. But yeah, if you get in a

999
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 1: situation where one of your offensive linemen are down, and

1000
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:14,359
Speaker 1: we'll see what what Farniac is too. Farniac might now

1001
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 1: take over that role of the full back guy that

1002
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:19,360
Speaker 1: you know now that you have to play kind of

1003
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:21,839
Speaker 1: mcgovernment back there at you know, and you're saying, maybe

1004
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 1: even go in a power running game with right just run,

1005
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:27,400
Speaker 1: just run right at him and see what happens. All right,

1006
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 1: We appreciate you guys, Johns. We'll be back tomorrow. I

1007
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:31,279
Speaker 1: appreciate all the questions that came in. We're gonna get

1008
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 1: to a lot of these tomorrow. We're gonna spend quite

1009
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 1: a bit of the show tomorrow answering questions we received
