Thank you truly glad to 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:47.960 have one. Truly, though I don't think you'd spend I 0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:50.760 think you'd probably spend your birthday at work, even if 0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:54.320 you didn't have to. I mean, that's a good sign. 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:56.320 That's a good sign saying that you you love what 0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:59.120 you have. You ever had your birthday off? I get 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:03.600 my birthday off every year, but that's the exception. It's 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:06.399 only holiday we celebrate. We were just trying to ask 0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:07.800 him what he was going to do tonight, you know, 0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:09.559 and he wouldn't listen to us. He was just watching 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:14.480 the top, watching that guy trying to run into the fans. Seahawks, Jags, 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:17.160 your focused, make your dead, go out and get blasted 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:25.760 Cowboys hours. Great, that's a great drop after every loss, 0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:27.920 I'm playing that drop. Yeah, I'll go it out, get 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:31.960 blasted there in case you've missed it. Yeah, that's you can. 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:35.280 You can cheers to the Cowboys playoffs. Hope, whether it's 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:38.000 four percent or what it really is, it's still alive 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:41.600 because they did beat the Giants thirty ten and impressive fashion. 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:44.440 A lot of guys stepped up to the plate. Sean Lee. 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.000 Of course what we expected. Dak Prescott had a career 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:50.720 day and Rod Smith had a breakout day. So I'll 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:52.920 just start around the room, guys, and you tell me 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:55.160 one player that you were most impressed with. Mickey, I'll 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:59.920 start with you, Sean Lee. Yeah, he tried to make 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:02.360 every tackle in the game. I told him that would 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:07.520 be waiting to do the postgame interview. The broadband called it. 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:10.960 I think you called for like twenty something tackles, right, Actually, 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:12.800 I thought he would. I thought he would get I 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:15.519 think between thirty. I think said twenty five. I said 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.560 twenty five almost. Yeah. I just had a feeling though 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:20.679 watching the Giants play that they weren't going to be 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:23.600 able to block him. I wonder what happens when the 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:25.600 coaches look at the tape. Will he get about three 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:29.040 or four more tackles? No, it's it's it's eighteen. It's eighteen. Okay, 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:33.760 it's pretty Actually, I'll tell you what they had. Giants 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:36.600 have a real problem blocking second level linebackers, of course, 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:39.400 and so and and Anthony Hitchins had fourteen as well. 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:42.440 That just tells you really the problems. Jeff Heath had ten. Yeah, 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.079 it goes, it goes beyond that. For the Giants, they 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:48.480 just they there, there's a bad offensive line, and you know, 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:50.840 we talked about that all week. That's how you were 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:52.480 going to have to take advantage of it. And they 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:55.280 did absolutely. Okay, So Shaun Lee was your guy. Shaun 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:58.040 Lee's my guy. I think I picked him for Rankum. 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:02.360 I don't know, Well you did? I thought you? No? 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:07.280 Did I I took right down. Yeah, they're somewhere. They're somewhere, Rob, 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:09.799 who's your who's your player that really stood out to 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:12.680 you as an impressive guy in yesterday's win? A little 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:15.239 bit under the radar, I'll say Lyle Collins for the 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:18.160 job he did in past protection two weeks in a row. 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:20.720 He's not one hundred percent. I don't think he's close 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.280 to one hundred percent right now. And the job he 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:26.640 did against Ryan Kerrigan against Washington and you know, started 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:29.720 the game off against Olivia Vernon, they did move him around. 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:34.359 Ye saw some jpp um and you know, pass protection 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:36.720 was really good in this game for Dak. So he's 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:38.640 he's fighting through some stuff right now. I know a 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:42.160 lot of guys are, but we're seeing him grow at 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.640 that right tackle spot at less than one hundred percent. 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:48.360 Did you see that contraption JPP plays with on his 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:51.160 right hand, No, I didn't club. It's like a club. 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:53.360 I don't know if he's been doing that all year now, 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:55.080 he hadn't been doing it all year. He's got he's 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:56.880 got it. He went back to it. That's when he 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.840 first interesting first because I didn't remember that. I remember 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:01.960 he had a finger injury during the week. Yeah, that's 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:04.600 what they that's what they did in problems with that hand. Again, 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:07.240 he can't he can't grab it's it's it's a club. 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.160 It's all wrapped up. Yeah, there was some question about 0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:12.480 whether he's gonna play because of that. Yeah, so exactly, 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.479 and Dak Prescott did not wear anything. He did not 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:18.200 he had. He had the glove on the on the 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:21.000 off left hand, left hand, switched gloves at half too, 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.719 went from a white glove to a blue glove. Didn't 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:28.560 notice why he was at for promotional stuff. I have 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:31.920 no idea, really, he said it was a style thing. Yeah, 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:34.400 I don't know what that makes sense, because it's your 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:37.320 bottom hand when you take the snap. Maybe it gives 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.920 you better grip on it. Yeah, maybe he wanted Well, 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:42.119 I'll tell you what though, he needed the grip because 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:44.839 when he avoided that sack from Olivier Vernon. Yes, he 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:48.080 switched hands with the ball and he went right hand, 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:49.960 left hand and got it back to his right hand 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:52.960 to push it outside there. So far did you see 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:55.560 him going trying to go old school on that one play? 0:04:56.360 --> 0:05:01.040 Old school? What way he went out? Further start the series, 0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.040 he forgot his helmet. Yeah, he was wearing his stocking 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:07.120 cap and he was almost all they saw. I saw 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:09.279 him run to was almost all the way there and 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:12.440 he turned around and goes, oh, so I said something 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:14.360 to him afterwards He goes, yeah, he goes, I had 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:17.000 the stocking cap on, and he goes I kept forgetting 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:19.680 my helmet. I had something on my head. Yeah, nice 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.520 and warm. I said, boy, you're tough on the heaters. 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:28.280 Going way back to those New York Football Giants, Terrence, 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:30.600 he changed his shoes, right, because remember in pregame when 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:33.720 we were all standing there and usuring two different shoes different, Yeah, 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:36.720 trying to figure it out. Yeah, yeah, well who was 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:40.520 your guy? Well, I'll say after I thought already, no, 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.440 it's fine, I'll pick Prescott because I think the Giants 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.120 plan was to make him throw from the pocket. Didn't 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:48.240 get the ball on the edge very much, and so 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:50.320 their plan was to keep him in the middle. He 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:54.320 made some some tough throws, you know, and I think, 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:58.080 like Rob says, protection overall was pretty good. But yeah, 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:00.520 they were committed to making him throw the ball from 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:02.599 the middle of the pocket, and that's what he was 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:05.239 able to do. I thought he moved the guys around 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:07.480 where he needed to move guys around. You know, if 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:11.400 you if you watch the pass to Rod Smith, he 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:14.120 moves rod Smith over to put him in the slot. 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:16.640 He sees what's happening in the middle of the field. 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.719 So yeah, I just feel like though that overall, you know, 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:22.520 Dak Prescott. There's been some times where we've been critical 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:24.600 of him, but this time around, I thought he did 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:26.560 a pretty dark nice job. Yeah, you know what, and 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:31.560 to go on on that it was more than the 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:33.880 three hundred and thirty two yards passed, right. I think 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.880 it was what Brian said. He got guys where they 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:41.440 needed to be and he recognized the blitzes. But finally 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:44.800 he got some help. The receivers started recognizing it right 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:48.320 and started cutting off their routes because early in the 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:52.120 game it looked like they're blitzing and everybody's got their 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:54.960 backs towards them. It's like, come on right. Two of 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:58.719 the they had three plays over fifty yards, Yeah, passing, 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:01.680 and two of them I think we're just straight up 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:04.120 blitz is word, right, You got one guy to beat. 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:06.440 If you're the receiver, he makes the play, he's got 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:09.440 nothing mcgreen, Dez is catch for a touchdown and Rod's 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:13.240 not Rods Beasley's and guys made the play. It was 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:15.680 a good route and they were off to the races. Yeah, 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:17.880 it was hottest job by both That's how you stop 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:19.960 a team from blitzing. Well, it was a great blitz 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:25.400 pickup by Rod smithy guy I'm sorry, go ahead, I 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:28.000 got Rod. You guys all said great players, and you know, 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:30.280 Brian I used Dak as the player of the game 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:32.760 for our social media, but it was really easy to 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.600 do that, and it was almost hard, actually to choose 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:38.360 between him and Rod because Rod had such a great game. Yeah. 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.480 You know, last week we were talking about, Okay, let's 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:43.360 keep this running game consistent. You know, a lot of 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:45.720 times we've said, oh, they've got something there, but it 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:49.040 hasn't been consistent enough. Rod Smith took the pressure off 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.400 of those receivers, I thought, you know, by saying, okay, 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:55.200 I realized they're doubling Cole and Dez. Right, let me 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:58.200 just have some breakaway plays. I mean eighty one yards 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:00.240 on that one. Yeah, it was. It was a heck 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:03.040 of a play to again Dac to move him outside 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:05.840 and then you're absolutely right town the third down play, 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:10.440 they were playing the slant to the backside on Bryant 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:12.000 and on the front side they were not going to 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:15.080 let Beasley run the pivot route to get the first down, 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:18.160 and Dak saw exactly what was going on. No safety 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:20.320 in the middle of the field, you know, take a chance, 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:23.960 and it's a great job by by Smith to beat 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.800 his man off the line of scrimmage and then to 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:28.640 get into the route and Dac to see it all 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:30.320 the way again in the middle of the pocket throw. 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:32.200 That's what he had Da said. That's that's not a 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.760 play they typically he doesn't, that's not usually his read. 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:36.960 And Rod actually said, I didn't think the ball was 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:38.960 coming to me. No, but when you've got that kind 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.959 of look, you gotta go to it. And huge playing 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:44.880 the game, Rod was. He's really he's really got the 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:47.920 respect of his teammates. They really respect the fact that 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.920 he's earned his spot, you know, as a special teams 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:52.920 guy and now doing whatever he's asked to do. You 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:55.880 mentioned the Blitz pick up that that was huge for 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.240 a two hundred twenty pound back. He's a pretty good 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.480 receiver out of the back for really nifty run too, 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:02.960 if you look at his touchdown run on the toss suite. 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:06.240 Because they got everything, they got everything. Jeff Swain sealed 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:09.280 everything inside him and Noah Brown and they got everybody 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.560 the outside. Well, he had to make one more cut 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:13.920 to get up to int into the lane, and he 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:15.560 was able to do that. He could have kept drifting 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:19.200 and then probably got tackled, but patient patient patient boom 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:21.679 made the slant or made the plant and then went 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:23.640 right up in the in the lane for the touchdown. 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:26.520 Thought he was running more freely in this game. That 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:30.480 the first carry he had was weird because it was 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:33.560 to the left and he was running like a fullback. 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:35.960 He had the ball, both hands in the ball. What 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:39.559 are they doing right? And then they finally started loosing 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:42.640 up and running like we had been talking about all year, 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.320 kind of running angry, kind of kind of was thinking 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:47.720 that was going to be their answer during the six 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:50.280 game suspension. Remember, I was looking for an angry back, 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:53.560 and I thought he played angry yesterday. I thought he 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.800 made some really good cuts. Mickey's talking about the early run, 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:58.600 but once he got freed up a little bit, I 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:01.240 felt like that that's kind of what we see with 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:03.360 Rod Smith. You know that he could be that kind 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:05.800 of guy going forward. And you know, and I know 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:07.720 a lot of people I don't know about your Twitter timelines, 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:09.679 a lot of people are asking me if you know 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:11.160 if he was going to would be the guy to 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:13.839 start this week over Alfred Morris. You know, after what 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:17.200 you saw, I think they compliment each other pretty well. Yea, yeah, 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:18.920 you know, I don't think you need to change. And 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:22.280 he's alert that he caught that tip pass right in 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:24.600 the middle. You know, I had the wherewithal to hang 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:26.719 in there and catch it and turn and go get 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:29.800 it first down. Did you guys listen to Coach Garrett 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.800 this morning a little bit. Yeah, he's on the fan 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.000 and he was talking about Rod Smith and they said, 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:36.400 you know, where did this guy come from? I mean 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:39.360 he talked about what you're saying, Rob, you know about Okay, 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:41.120 we had him on the practice squad and then we 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:43.520 brought him in and we tried to do some stuff 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:45.880 with fullback and they just kind of he was kind 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:47.880 of that guy that you would see kind of yo 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:51.360 yo on the transaction emails, right, and truly, you know, 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:54.080 it's exciting to see all of his success he's had 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:57.040 in the past few games because especially of course, most 0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:59.560 people know that his brother is Jalen Smith, and he's 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:02.480 his young brother. What sometimes I forget I think that 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:04.679 Jalen might be older. You know, they kind of look 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:08.840 so close in age. But it's exciting to see, I 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.040 think for Jalen. He was saying yesterday on the bus 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:14.040 that he's excited to see him get his shine, you know, 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:16.600 because for so long, I bet you, out of those 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:20.080 two brothers, it's mostly been about Jalen Smith. Yeah, and 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:22.839 I finally see Rod Smith have some of that is 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:26.080 pretty excited. Obviously both of them went to extremely great 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:28.439 college football programs. But well, what you have to do 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:30.320 as a front office you have to be able to 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:33.000 have a vision for the player. Yeah, and they found 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:35.960 something for him to do. You know, he played special teams. 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.720 He was a core guy. Like you said, Tay, he 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:41.160 was on and off practice squads. I mean again, that's 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:43.079 one of those things where somebody could have come in 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.319 the dead of night and said, hey, listen, we'll take 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:48.040 Rod Smith off your practice squad. Well they didn't. So 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:52.440 again evaluation, they found spots for him. They're using him. 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:54.600 You know, you saw him catch the ball in the 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.520 Green Bay game down the field. You know he made 0:11:57.840 --> 0:11:59.680 a play. You know, he just wasn't a guy you 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:02.040 throw the ball of the flat two and then he 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:04.760 makes a play. He makes plays down the field, and 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:07.360 I think that's where you know, you find ways to 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:10.360 you know, these backs are pretty talented group. Even Alfred 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:13.160 Morris is finding ways to catch the football, you know, 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:15.320 would be more complete. And that's what this team's trying 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.640 to do. They're trying to find more those complete guys. 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:20.079 They can do a lot of different things. And obviously 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:22.280 Rod Smith's one of those guys. I think someone too. 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:25.559 He's not related to him, but Keith Smith. Yeah, same thing, 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.600 right like that, Yeah, bouncing back and forth and then 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:30.959 trying to find a role. And hey, give credit to 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:33.199 the coaching staff deciding at Rod Smith. They tried him 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:34.600 at fullback and said, you know what, this guy's are 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:37.560 running back, you know, and and he's he's gotten better. 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:40.040 He's become a better running back and more complete running 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:42.079 back than he was when I think they claimed him 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:46.199 off of Seattle roster a couple years ago. Yes, done 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:49.760 a nice job off the practice squad, right, I don't 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:53.360 think he was off to Seahawks practice squad. There's a poach, yeah, Yeahhawks, 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:55.760 right squad? Yeah, And knock on Wood. You know that 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:58.959 Cowboys pretty much came out of that game pretty injury free. 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:03.800 You know. There wasn't anything to extremely note of any 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:05.280 guys that I can think of. Yeah, I don't. I 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:09.960 don't think Ifford had a hip pointer Tyrone Tyron Crawford. Yeah, 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:12.760 and then there was one trying to think, yeah, there was. 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:15.199 He came off the field one time and they were 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:17.040 talking to him on the sidelines. I thought he was 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:19.199 just trying to catch his breath, but I guess the 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.760 hip pointer was. Yeah, that it was he heard. Nobody 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:24.480 asked me questions afterwards that the team got through without me. 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.320 When way he walked off with Jason, he pointed it out. Okay, 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:29.600 a lot of people were asking about Sean Lee rob 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:32.680 and I saw you answered that one. Yeah, just that 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:34.880 was a planned deal to kind of rotate him. I 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:36.920 think one series in the second half he was out. 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:39.520 They put Jalen in and just coming off the injury. 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:42.119 They wanted to keep him fresh. It wasn't anything he aggravated, 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.079 so and obviously he made a huge play at the 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:46.920 end of the game. There was one more think about that, Mick, 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:49.240 but oh it was it was Kyle Wilber. He had 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:51.680 a stinger. Oh okay. They brought him into the tent. 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:54.280 That was third fourth quarter. It was kind of late, 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:56.959 but I saw him afterwards and he was walking. It 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:59.720 was just fine. Helps you with that. Now, somebody who 0:13:59.880 --> 0:14:02.800 wasn't injured, you know, has comeback since Thanksgiving, but had 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:06.760 kind of a very unusual game Dan Bailey missing the 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:09.319 field goals and an extra point. Brian, I see you 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:11.679 immediately upset about that. No, I wasn't. I mean, I 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:15.000 don't know what to say about kickers, you know, And 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:17.360 I know I got into a discussion with folks. It 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:19.200 wasn't a hindsight, because it's funny. I was sitting with 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:22.040 Nate and him and I go, I wouldn't have kicked it. 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:23.640 I wouldn't have tried that field goal. And I mean 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:27.240 I was saying it to those guys it wild position studio. Yeah, 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:30.520 I mean yeah, I'm fifty three. And Nate made a 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:32.760 good point. He goes, He's like eighty percent, why wouldn't 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:35.280 you try? And I'm like, I just wouldn't try it 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:38.840 at this point, you know, because to me, I'm making 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:41.080 the Giants have to drive the football, and they had 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:43.960 it for a good first drive, but I'm kind of 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:46.600 thinking of field position. Pen them back there, maybe get 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:49.440 a short field, get a three and out, but make 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:51.280 them make them show you they can. Yeah, make him 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:53.400 show me they could drive the ball down the field again. 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:56.160 That's where I That's where I was. I don't think 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:58.280 the Giants could made enough place. Now, if you're playing 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:01.280 against some an opponent that can drive the football on 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:03.920 you and make plays by all means, you know, if 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.400 you want to try fifty three, y yeah. But and 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:08.600 somebody will say, well, Brian had hit the upright, and 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:10.880 I'm like, okay, you know it's fine. It's still I 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:13.920 would have probably played a field position game at least initially. 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:15.880 And then if you want to come back and kick 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.400 the fifty yard field goal, which it looks like to 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:21.880 me got pushed. I mean the started middle wind to 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:24.960 the wind just took it right, so I you know, 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:27.760 I mean, and I think the more disturbing thing to me, 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:32.800 guys was the missed extra Yeah. Absolutely, from yeah, that's 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:35.880 that's where That's where I would have That's all of 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:38.240 a sudden, it was, you know, we were all the 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:41.080 game was in hand, and you're going, well, he just 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:43.760 missed an extra point. So that that to me, Okay, 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:46.320 I understand the fifty three. I get the fifty, but 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:48.520 those missed extra points. Okay. Now, what's going on with 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:50.920 Dan Bailey. You know he's coming off the back injury, 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:52.360 but I don't think this is a health thing. I 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:54.640 think this is just a tough day at the office. 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:56.400 It's a tough it's a tough place to kick. As 0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:58.560 you mentioned, the wind, yeah and stuff. But I think 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:01.560 the old place was worse. Yeah, but there was there 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:04.280 was When I was on the sideline before the game. Yeah, 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:06.440 there was a breeze. You could feel it. He was 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:08.520 like eleven miles on the on the play by play. 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:12.480 He was kicking well to our right, and I think 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:15.080 that's where the one went off the upright. The first 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:18.000 one that where we're going right. The first one was right, 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:20.080 and that's the way that was the That's where I 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:23.160 saw him. He was kicking off that little holder thing 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:26.440 right and he was hitting from fifty four right. It 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:29.480 was the other direction he was having trouble, and that's 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:32.040 where he missed the extra point right. I think that's 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:35.240 where the fifty yard fifty one kind of blew out, Yeah, 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:38.080 because he had it right down the middle. It was 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:40.320 going like that. It's just the ball was almost going 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:44.120 sideways the way it came away from the But yeah, well, 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:47.760 now I can understand. I can understand the fifty yard misses. 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:50.200 I get those, But the the extra point one was 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:53.360 the one that just kind of gave me because I 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:56.160 was thinking, well, man, he he usually is just so 0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:59.480 dead down the middle, and now he's pulling the ball 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:02.040 a little bit. I didn't I asked that because they 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:06.040 were tweeting if it was about his groin. Steah, go ahead, yeah, 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:08.320 oh did I say back, Yeah, he had the groin injury. 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:10.399 I don't. I don't think this is health related. I 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:13.040 think he's okay. It's it's just it's a tough day. 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:15.120 And he didn't kick a field goal in the Washington game. 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:17.840 Did he kicked all extra points? Right, and he didn't 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:20.120 have an attempt. Yeah, but you tell you said that's 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:23.960 his first extra point missive two hundred and Well it 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:26.960 was two fifty going into the season. So however many 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:29.080 he had this year, Yeah, so it was probably in 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:33.120 the two seventies range. Yeah, and it might have gotten 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:35.200 his head. You never know. Oh, he's the kind of 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:37.639 guy that I feel like that was something he's thinking 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:40.320 about still today. But he picked a good game to 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:43.200 have a bad game. Yeah, they were able to overcome 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.159 in the fourth quarter. I mean, sitting there in the 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:48.320 first quarter, they'd only really had two drives, and you 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:50.440 looked up and you're like that was only one quarter 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:53.560 very army Navy game like it was without the snow, 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:57.640 without the snow, no snow.
