I remember when that happened about a 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:54.800 month or so agoin. 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:57.240 That's about as far as that's go for a conference 0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:00.480 for a conference game from kind of point they were 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:07.920 point from what but that would be Nate's dream job. 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:12.720 Actually, the way I wanted to start the show today, 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:16.160 not that I'm fired up about this Washington game. I 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:20.440 wanted to hear a rendition of It's beginning to feel 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:25.120 a lot like Christmas because of what we've got going 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:30.160 on tonight at the Star in Frisco as Santa arrives. Tonight, 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:34.400 we got our big Christmas tree lighting ceremony, but mainly 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:37.760 because of what happened last night, and I got to 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:42.520 watch some snow football. I was texting friends and relatives, 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:46.320 go to Amazon Prime because we got some snow football. 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:49.159 It happened all of a sudden, just starting the fourth 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:52.480 quarter of that game. And what, Nate, you like playing in. 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:55.840 That snow, sir, No, don't want nothing to do with it. No, 0:04:56.320 --> 0:05:01.760 you don't like the atmosphere. Snow, A brutal cold is 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:03.400 all equals up the losses. 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:05.840 The dumbest thing ever. 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:07.520 Yeah, Oh I. 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:08.240 Love watching it. 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:09.440 Get a roof. 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:12.000 No, it's the advantage. 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.240 Some people think it's the advantage for their players and 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:15.120 for their. 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:17.279 They don't play in the snow, they don't. 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:21.440 Practice, but they they they thinks they advantage just because 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:22.120 you live in it. 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:26.320 Yeah, it's a beautiful thing unless you have to. 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:28.440 Did you ever did you ever get to play in 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:28.880 the snow? 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:29.680 Well? 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:35.280 Yeah, on the front yard occasionally. It would snow occasionally 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:39.919 as it snowed. Since you lived here in Texas for 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:42.400 the last four years, Mickey, but I met when you 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.080 were a kid. The weather hasn't changed. 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:46.080 Oh, yes it has. 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:49.760 It would snow occasionally. 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:52.360 Get floided in my period of growing up twice. 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:56.719 Yeah, yeah, I was man, really no, and I did. 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:57.839 Not dig it at all. 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:01.120 We dug it, We dug out of it. 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:02.920 Yeah. 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:04.839 I don't want any part of the Chicago. 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:09.080 But we used to keep the snowshovel inside the house 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.360 so in case the drifts were over the front door, 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:12.880 we can shovel our way out. 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:13.680 Wow. 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:16.760 So did you watch the end of the game. I did, Okay, 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.559 What did you think on the goal line with about 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:23.680 a minute left and Cleveland scored the go ahead touchdown right, 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:28.400 it looked to me like someone was letting a team score. 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:32.080 Oh, I guess I didn't consider I was. 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:34.919 They didn't talk about it on the broadcast. I'm sitting 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:37.720 and now you can't get your footing very well down there, 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:40.080 as we know from the ice Bowl. But in nineteen 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:45.760 sixty seven. But there was a minute left and they 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:48.320 were not going to stop them. The Steelers were not 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:49.920 going to stop them once they got to the one 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.400 yard line. The best chance of winning that foot and 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:54.520 the Browns were not going to kick a field goal either. 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:57.200 They were going to try to score the touchdown. Yeah, 0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:00.880 because it was the better chance of with footing and everything, 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:04.160 to score the touchdown. Although it didn't look it just 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:06.240 did not appear to me that the Steelers put up 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:08.600 a whole lot of resistance on that touchdown. I mean, 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:13.160 it's crazy to think about, but you still had a 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:16.640 minute left, and they were actually scoring more points once 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:18.800 the snow started coming down in that game than they 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:20.040 were earlier in that game. 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:22.880 So you think the offense had a I. 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:25.120 Think I think they came down to the point that 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:26.680 they felt like they had a better chance to win 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:28.080 the game if they let them score and we get 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:32.080 the ball back. That's just me. It wasn't Probably probably wrong, 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:33.880 but that's just what it looked to me. 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:35.800 It wasn't a good hell, Mary, was it. 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:36.360 Now? 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:39.080 How come they had more defensive guys there than you 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:42.840 had offensive guys. They only had three receivers there. You 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.560 got to have five, don't you. 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:50.360 Not sure? All right, where do you want to go next? 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:52.400 We got our own problems here, that's right. 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:57.160 And it's not snowing, and it's not snowing and it's 0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:57.880 not cold. 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:00.400 But the injuries are random. 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:02.760 So the weather in Washington is going to be fine. 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:05.600 Uh you know what, I didn't check on it. 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:12.960 I think so, right, Chris, what we're looking at it's. 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:13.000 Going to be clear. It's raining there today, but will 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.520 be clear that like fifty something degrees. 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:19.160 All right, Well that's I can this time of year. 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:22.480 You live with that, right, I definitely can live with it. 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:27.080 After I watched last night's game. I mean it could 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:27.559 be worse. 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:31.800 Right now, it's forty degrees in rain there and on 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:37.440 Sunday a high of fifty seven, clear skies. It's perfect 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:40.480 and it is a one o'clock kickoff, so that's about 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:45.559 when it will be fifty seven degrees. So there you go. Hmm. 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:48.040 I am one person that is not complaining. 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:51.080 Who's that? 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:52.560 I said? 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:55.200 I am you are because I have to be on 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:56.559 the field while you're in the press box. 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:58.640 Okay, So I'd. 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:01.240 Rather be on the field than that's than the press box. 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:03.320 So Mickey, who do you think is going to be 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:04.640 lining up for the Cowboys? 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:08.960 On such a really good question. I don't like the 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:12.360 fact that when I saw the injury report from yesterday 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:15.760 and really today is a walkthrough, so it doesn't really 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:19.320 give you any more of an indication that Zach Martin 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:24.600 and Tyler Smith were still not practicing, especially Tyler Smith, 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:27.360 because they didn't finish the game. 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:32.000 Because let's go, Awesome Riches, let's go TJ Bash, Let's work. 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:33.120 Let's go to work babies. 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:37.880 Okay, youth movement, Awesome doesn't have to play left tackle. 0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:42.160 Hey, Tyler Geiden has been a full participant. 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:42.800 Yes he has. 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:47.319 Yes, we'll be ready, He'll be good to go.

What you try 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:41.760 to do is control the narrative. Get these young guys 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:44.280 in here, do what you have to do with your 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:50.600 coaches in that situation during the off season, get. 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:51.439 Guys out there. 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:54.559 But the thing that I'm saying, don't play with don't 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:58.640 mess around with guys that you're not seeing a future with. 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:01.560 You know, if you're not seeing a future with and 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.920 I'll use Austine, if you're not seeing the future with him, Uh, 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:07.880 don't play him. If you're not seeing a future with 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:12.160 a Tolbert, are either one of the Jalens, don't don't 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:16.280 don't mess around. Give everybody that you think an opportunity 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:19.880 that you think can help this team going forward from 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:24.320 this day going forward, let them play you you if 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:28.360 you go in the next year, saying as a coach, 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:32.439 whoever's left out of this wreckage that's gonna happen, saying 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:34.920 I don't know about this guy. Somebody need to front 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:37.680 him in the media. Like what you mean, coach, you 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:42.000 don't know about this guy? We should know every like 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:44.280 you said that story, you're doing every guy we should 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:47.320 know a little bit about. We should like, Hey, does 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:49.800 he need more grooming? Is he a guy that need 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:54.920 to be replaced? Is he is in a competitive deal 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:57.160 where it's two or three guys at his position? 0:12:57.640 --> 0:12:59.360 How do you handle that? You know, that's how we 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:00.120 should be looking. 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:02.679 That well, and they're kind of already doing that with 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:06.920 the young guys that have to play out of necessity, right, Yes, 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:11.560 and so you're you're finding out about overshown you're finding 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:16.559 out about already. But I'm saying young guys that that 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:20.520 you know had to play, yes, Uh, your decision to 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:25.440 play guiton in bb ES. Right, so we're seeing that, Uh, 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:31.400 you're seeing some cornerbacks that for better or for worse, 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:32.800 you're finding out about him. 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:35.240 See, this is the this is the thing is. 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:41.839 Acuammell. Every time he's gotten in there, he's performed. 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:45.400 To me. Now, it's just my limited knowledge. 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.880 I got to talk to Church and a few other guys, 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:51.280 but he seemed to have done better than the guys 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:56.800 that have come before him, not name all pro guys 0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:59.880 you know digs in the and the other guy that's 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:01.160 it's getting back well. 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:05.640 And and when you like to have Jordan Lewis out 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:07.080 there regardless. 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:09.400 Yes, Jordan Lewis is the main state. But I'm saying 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:14.880 the other corners. You know, these kids, Carson, I mean, 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:20.520 you have done nothing as a coaching staff or a scheme. 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:25.360 He has done nothing to build his confidences. It's like 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:28.800 every time he gets in there, he's injured and things 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:33.560 look bad for him, so his confidence got to be reached. 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:37.240 I don't know what the words they regrown, re established, 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:38.160 re established. 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:43.040 Yeah, so so Makuamu. I don't know what keeps him 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:45.880 off the field. Maybe it's some issues or learning issues. 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:47.680 I don't know what keeps him off the field. But 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:50.000 every time they put him in there, he seemed to 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:54.360 come to play, So we're finding that out. But maybe 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:56.720 it's something behind closed doors that we don't know about 0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:59.360 that keep him from from playing more. 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.560 I'd like to see one year Thomas in the slot 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:04.400 if Lewis can't play. 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:11.520 You know, Uh, I don't. I don't know about brother 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:12.200 Thomas either. 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:14.840 I mean every year he start out at the top 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:17.400 of the pecking order, I see him, as as the 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.280 preseason go on, he get lost in the shuffle. 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:23.120 So I have no answer you. I'll ask everything about that. 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:26.560 Guy and the other other guy that they you know, 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:29.960 used a lot last year, but in a different role. 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:32.160 You're family guy, yeah. 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:35.800 Who finally broke it, broke himself up on special teams U. 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:37.120 Yeah. 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:38.480 Yeah. 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:42.520 The thing is I understand what Zim is trying to do, 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:47.400 and I understand what mister Jones is doing. And when 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:50.440 you tell, excuse me, when you tell the owner slash 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:55.120 GM president with however you want to state it, that 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:59.320 this is my guy, we need to pay this guy, 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:03.480 it's kind of hard for you to go back to 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:07.480 that same ownersst GYM and say, well, I know what 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:11.160 I told you about this guy, but we need to 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:14.720 get him out of here. So now your head on 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:15.520 the chopping block. 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:18.000 Well, and the other part of it is it is 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:26.720 a collaborative effort amongst the coaches, scouting department, front office, 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:29.920 and so forth, where decisions have been made on who 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:32.560 you're paying the money to. Yes, and so there's got 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:36.280 to be reasons why you are making a change. We 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:38.600 make the change, and so you've got to overcome that 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:41.320 as a coach. And so Zimmer was not a part 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:45.320 of the decision making process on several of those contracts 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:48.000 in the secondary unless they happened here in the last 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:53.200 six months. And so for even a veteran coach like him, 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:56.400 he's got to when Ian makes a decision like that, 0:16:57.120 --> 0:17:00.600 it's got to be based on something. Yeah, well, whether 0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:03.000 it's an injury, whether it's poor play or something in 0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:04.359 so think think of it. 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:09.479 This way some of the guys they brought in at 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:13.880 the last minute, those veteran guys, Jordan Phillips. 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:16.880 Yeah, you wouldn't do anything. They got rid of them. 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:17.159 No. 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:21.639 The thing is, Lynnville Joseph, did you see the snap 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:24.639 counts for those guys on the off on the defensive 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:29.960 line the last game? Okay, So, Gholston played ninety five 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:33.080 percent of the snaps, so that means they don't really 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:37.800 have somebody else in there to help out. Uh Osa 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:42.040 played eighty nine percent at defensive tackle, which is a 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:47.240 lot for a defensive tackle. Yeah, even Mazzi played forty 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:50.040 three snaps sixty seven percent. 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:52.480 And Micah was it ninety? 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:54.280 Was that? Yeah? 0:17:54.720 --> 0:18:00.600 And so these other guys, Lawson fifteen snaps, Lynnville Joseph twelve, 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:04.960 Carlos Watkins ten. So that tells me you brought in 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:08.960 these guys to help out, and they weren't all that 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:13.000 you thought. So now they're playing these younger guys a 0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:15.160 heck of a lot more at those positions. 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:17.760 What I'm trying to say is, and I'll be more specific, 0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:24.760 is number six Donovan Wilson is not a cover guy 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:29.320 at all, but you gave him a lot of money. 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:34.040 So even if coach Zim says, you know what, mister Jones, 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:37.880 this guy cannot cover. I have to do this, this, 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:42.720 and this collectively. As the words you use may not 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:44.840 be good enough for missus jump. But hold on, noine, 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:48.399 somebody got to come with a little better conversation than this. 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:53.680 See you, When you pay a guy, you better cover 0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:54.600 all bases. 0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:57.680 And what I mean by that is you either keep 0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:00.480 the old coach that knew how to use in perfectly 0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:05.000 are you let the new coach do what he needed 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:06.560 to do regardless of the price. 0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:10.359 And you can't be in between. This guy is not 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:11.520 a cover guy. 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:14.800 I could tell you what quarterbacks, especially when you get 0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:20.440 cross to twenty number twenty one, number six there they are. 0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:23.840 What plays do we do to get to them that 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:27.160 that hurts your team? When you may can put. 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:29.960 Young wait Thomas kid, put him in there. 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:36.960 I'll put the other kid that we talked about now, Yeah. 0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:37.960 See that you know that one of the marshrooms. 0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:41.840 Though, like for number thirty one, ya Thomas, especially if 0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:44.040 you're talking about him as a slot guy, is we've 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:46.040 never seen him play in the cover. 0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:49.520 In the slot. It's basically no, not the slot. He's 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:52.200 basically been on the tight ends right when he's. 0:19:52.640 --> 0:20:00.240 And see the thing is next year, you you who 0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:01.760 the slate is clean. 0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:05.680 And what I mean by that is, I don't want 0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:09.760 coach McCarthy going, but the way things are sliding, it 0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:11.720 don't look nice for coach McCarthy. 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:13.880 Well, the new coach. 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:17.159 Ain't gonna You got to give him the ability to 0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:20.520 build this team or to look at this talent. So 0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:23.639 that's what you're doing this year, looking at this talent. 0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:29.840 He's gonna see Number six cannot cover. I don't care 0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:33.560 what you do, how you try, he cannot cover. They're 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:35.119 gonna have to do something. 0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:40.359 Well, things changed in terms of who's getting opportunities this 0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:43.320 last game, and they're gonna continue to change, yes, because 0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:46.040 there's a certain point in the season, and it came 0:20:46.200 --> 0:20:50.640 basically last week. They got into a position where the 0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:54.200 odds of being able to really contend for a playoff 0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:58.160 spot are not good. And so that's when you see 0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:02.479 Ryan Fllinois getting more opportunities. And yeah, Jalen Brooks had 0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:06.480 at wide receiver, had been active in prior games, wasn't 0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:09.320 last week. They were making way for others to give 0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:12.439 them a shot at things. Same things happening on the 0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:17.200 defensive side. Now now that you're three and seven, Okay. 0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:19.640 Get bingo out there. 0:21:20.240 --> 0:21:22.879 You know, wide receivers. 0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:26.160 The thing that we need to break and we can 0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:27.840 bunch you. How about we tease it? 0:21:27.920 --> 0:21:30.560 Yeah, yes, yeah, yeah, okay. 0:21:30.200 --> 0:21:34.080 The thing that is coming up next. Here are big shots. 0:21:37.680 --> 0:21:41.000 Search with the Star Sports Tours is the only official 0:21:41.040 --> 0:21:44.840 fan travel partner of the Dallas Cowboys, offering exclusive game 0:21:44.920 --> 0:21:49.359 weekend travel packages with pregame, sideline access and photo ops 0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:53.280 with current players, cheerleaders and Cowboy legends.
