1 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,120 Speaker 1: The following. He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 2 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is Mick Shot 3 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the official 4 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys apt now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Wolves, 5 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: and Nicky Spagnola, And a good Monday to everybody out 6 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 1: there as we have another week of Mick Shots after 7 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: the Cowboys fall in Philadelphia on Sunday night. Mickey Spagnola, 8 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: it's a new month, It's the month of November, and 9 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: there's a new opponent this week that is unbeaten in 10 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: the National Football League. That would be the Pittsburgh Steelers 11 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: coming too at and T Stadium. But Mickey, we have 12 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: so much to talk about about last night in Philadelphia. Yeah, absolutely, Bill. 13 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: You know, the Cowboys I thought going into that game 14 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: had a script that I thought they needed to follow. 15 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: First and foremost, the defense needed to step up and 16 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 1: prevent this offense. With a rookie quarterback starting his first game, 17 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: a seventh round draft choice on the road Sunday night, 18 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: three practices with the first team to not ask him 19 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: to put thirty points on the board. The defense did that. 20 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: They held the Philadelphia Eagles to basically fifteen points on 21 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: their own. I thought the other thing that needed to 22 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: happen is they needed to get a couple takeaways. Then 23 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: they needed to sack Carson Wentz. They did both of 24 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: those things, provided four takeaways in the game, four sacks, 25 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: six quarterback hits. So they did their job. The other 26 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: things not to fall behind by more than one possession. 27 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: They were able to do that. And then I thought offensively, 28 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: they just needed to use those two tight ends a lot, 29 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: use some misdirection plays. They did all that. The unfortunate 30 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: part is they just made a mistake or two on 31 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,959 Speaker 1: offense that ended up costing the game, along with two 32 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: horrible calls on the same play, and then there they 33 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: are losing twenty three to nine to the Eagles. But 34 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: they at least given themselves a chance, a chance one 35 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 1: or two plays differently to be able to win the game. So, 36 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: as Mike McCarthy said, you know, it was frustrating, a 37 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: tough game to lose. He felt for his players, but 38 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: he felt like it was a step in the right direction. 39 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: And I think when you're sitting there at two and six, 40 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: you know you just gotta celebrate small steps in the 41 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: right direction, and I thought at least this game provided that, 42 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: especially defensively. Yep, it was a step in the right direction. 43 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: And I think obviously, here we are at the halfway 44 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: point of the season, and here for several weeks now, 45 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: especially since the Dak Prescotte injury, things have as far 46 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: as expectations go, things have had to be tempered for 47 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: this season, and so you're building towards the future really, although, yeah, 48 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: going into last night's game, you're a half game out 49 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: in the NFC East, and coming out of last night's game, 50 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: you're a game and a half out, and I think 51 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: that makes for a good situation for the team as 52 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: far as being able to say, hey, there is something 53 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: to play for. That's one of the good things about 54 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: being in this NFC East where no one has taken 55 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: control in the division. But I think as media and 56 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: fans that I think that you look at things that 57 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: they can build on for the future. Uh, the team 58 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: can't give up on the season. Fans obviously have, but 59 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: I think that it was a good step forward last night. 60 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: And there's a reason that the Eagles were able to 61 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 1: emerge with a win in that game. They had a 62 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: game they otherwise would have no business winning if the 63 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: Cowboys had any experience whatsoever at the quarterback. And not 64 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: to hang it on Ben to Nucci, he couldn't. He 65 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: can't help the fact that he's only had three practices 66 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: in the NFL. I mean literally, Uh, he's had three 67 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: practices with the first team offense coming into this game. 68 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: No offseason, no preseason games, no reps whatsoever. And uh, 69 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: and that's why the Cowboys had to take the approach 70 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: that they did. Uh. As far as their game plan 71 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: on offense too, Yeah, absolutely, well. Listen, ever, you're here, 72 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: Everson is here. I've been here, I've heard I heard you, Spags. 73 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: You sound so sad, you sound this small man. Come on, 74 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna step off of my pessimist stool and get 75 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: on my optimist you go, all right? Ever, can I 76 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: say doomsday defense is bad? Baby? Can I say that 77 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: and have you and have you believe it? Can I 78 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 1: say it and have you believe it? As I watched 79 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: the game yesterday, I was with my family. We had 80 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: a great time yesterday. Just really expecting so much worse. 81 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 1: I mean I really was so as the game progressed. 82 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: You know, I'm up out of my off the couch 83 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: when we're getting the interceptions, we're getting the turnovers, the sacks, 84 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: you know, the completions. I see the razzle dazzle we 85 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: got going. And man, I just really felt good watching 86 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: that game yesterday. Now that's you have to consider where 87 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: I've come from, where we've all come from. We were 88 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: so low that anything would just perk up my spirits, 89 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 1: and it did. And so I did have a good 90 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: time watching the game, of course, until you can kind 91 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: of see what was gonna what was the inevitable throughout 92 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: as the as the fourth quarter started and we started 93 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: to wind it down, I was just really happy to see, 94 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 1: you know, Diggs, as much as he's still going to 95 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: have his problems as any rookie dB is gonna have. 96 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: Good to see him get that confidence of just being 97 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: able to catch the ball. That was a tough ball 98 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: to catch. It could be considered, if you're Philadelphia eagle, 99 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: could be considered a punt, you know, because he threw 100 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: it so far down the field. He was just hoping 101 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: for something to happen after being under the rest all day. 102 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: I'm talking about Carston wins and for Digs to come 103 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: up with that catch, that was a pretty good catch, 104 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: showed his ball skills. And you know, anytime you finally 105 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: get an interception and you make a play like that, 106 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: that that fuels you, right, It kind of gives him. 107 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: I think he can stick his chest out a little 108 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: bit more this week. Of course, the touchdown came or 109 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: the big play came on him as well. But talking 110 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: about not just one man having a good game, but 111 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:19,119 Speaker 1: the entire defense actually tried to play well as a unit. 112 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: I love the way they attacked the run. I love 113 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: the way they kept went on the on the on 114 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: the on the run as well. But I mean, as 115 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: I kind of step over to my pessimistic stool once again, 116 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: it's not let me play some hell of a team. 117 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: You know, let's just be real about that. These guys 118 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: were known to make all of these mistakes before this game, 119 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: and they continued. Carston Wins continued to make some bone 120 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: head mistakes. That really shows what a desperate quarterback he 121 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: is without a lot of weapons of his offensive line. Yeah, 122 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: best part on the thing is as he brought up 123 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: the name of Everson Walls at the discussion of multiple 124 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: interceptions in one game. Uh, he became the fourth teenth Wow, 125 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: he became the fourteenth Cowboys player in history, the fourteenth 126 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: time in Cowboys history that they had a player with 127 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: more than one interception in a game. Now the most 128 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: was three terrence rookie years and his rookie in his 129 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 1: rookie year, Terrence Newman had had three, and then everybody 130 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: else had two, including Everson Walls one, two, three, four times, 131 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: and it looks like all four. You're wrong, what, Mickey, 132 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: You're wrong, You're wrong. Everson Walls had two interceptions in 133 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: a game five times in his rookie you counted the 134 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: employ one of those games was one of those games 135 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: was more important than a regular season game. It was 136 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game. He had two interceptions rembers that season. 137 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 1: We're counting five. He got one for the thumb in 138 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game as well. And you know what's 139 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: crazy about that? Uh, it's funny that Digs got his 140 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: on a prime time uh night because I think, I 141 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: think because they weren't doing it of course in the 142 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: until the modern era came, so to speak. I think 143 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: I have more interceptions on you know, uh nationally night 144 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: televised games. Yeah, right, I got more of that than 145 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: anybody else in history. But of course, you know, Mary 146 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: Riffer wasn't playing on Monday Night because they didn't have 147 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: Monday Night at the time, nineteen seventy. Yeah. Yeah, that's 148 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: just a modern that's just a modern ara a stat 149 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: that I'd like to hang my head on everyone. Well, 150 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: what I want to know is why did you get 151 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,599 Speaker 1: all those those two interception games in your rookie and 152 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: didn't have any more? What the heck he finally stopped 153 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: coming back. Okay, they were picking on the rookie. Good answer. 154 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: I was waiting, I was there. They just wouldn't come 155 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: at you. You know. And that way, Mickey, that's why 156 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: Byron Jones never got any interceptions. Go at throwing in him. Yeah, absolutely, 157 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: And that was and that was he had so many 158 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 1: interceptions early. And you know though, I think the last time, 159 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: um they had somebody Sean Lee had the last game 160 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen, he had those two interceptions. Uh. I 161 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: believe it was at Indianapolis right when they beat the Colts. 162 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 1: Well that was his rookie year, his ten, yeah, twenty ten, 163 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 1: his rookie year. Yeah. And that's the amazing thing is 164 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: is the amount of time in between the multiple interception 165 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: rookie season, so Sean would have had his in twenty ten, 166 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: and then Terrence Newman had his three pick game as 167 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: a rookie, I guess at oh three, and then I 168 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: think he had to go back to I don't have 169 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 1: the list in front of me, Mickey, maybe you do, 170 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: but it goes back to nineteen ninety or or before 171 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: that the most recent since then. Out of the outside 172 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,199 Speaker 1: of those two for a rookie for a rookie, they 173 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: had the Rod Jordan they had they had as a rookie, 174 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: but I think Bruce Carter won one year, had two, 175 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: Sean Lee Uh had a couple, and then Jeff Heath 176 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: was the last one I think that had multiple UH 177 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: interceptions in a game. But you know what the weird 178 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: thing is is, I went back and looked in six 179 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: of the last seven seasons, the team leader in interceptions 180 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: only had two, and this guy had two in one 181 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: game the other The only exception was Heath that one 182 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: year had led the team with three interceptions, but other 183 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,199 Speaker 1: than that, two has been the most and he got 184 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 1: it in one Mickey. Yes, Mickey, we were halfway through 185 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: the season and the team only has three interceptions, two 186 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: of them came last night. Well, they got the team 187 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: leader right now. R You you could have gone this 188 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,439 Speaker 1: entire segment without bringing that up. We're talking optimism here, 189 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: Come on, Bill. They had four takeaways. Try that's why, 190 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: that's why we need to be optimistic about this team 191 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 1: right now. It was the first time of what happened. 192 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 1: It's the first time they won the turnover differential since 193 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: the season opener. I believe it was one plus one. 194 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: They had one takeaway against the Rams, so that was 195 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: a step in the right direction. Most they've had, but 196 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 1: they that's the most they've had and well, I know, 197 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: well two years ago probably, I mean, yeah, they had 198 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: to be the last time they had four turnovers. It 199 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: could be the two thousand Uh, we have to go 200 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,439 Speaker 1: on back. Do we have to go back to two 201 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: thousand and sixteen for that? For that? Didn't I say, 202 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: Mickey that they had four takeaways against the Eagles last year? 203 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: I thought they did have one that was more recent? Yeah? Absolutely, yeah, 204 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 1: I think I saw that in the notes after the game. 205 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: I have to look it up there. All right, Mickey, 206 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: you alluded to it. So how about the one takeaway 207 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: that was the killer play for the Eagles? That resulted 208 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 1: in the touchdown. You alluded to the fact that there 209 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 1: were two things that went to cow against the Cowboys 210 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: that should not have gone against the Cowboys on that 211 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: particular play. Yeah, they they They drove down to the 212 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: Eagles twenty one and Duke Riley there linebacker on the 213 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, steps into the neutral zone and there's 214 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: no call. And the Cowboys, as Mike McCarthy pointed out, 215 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: we got an early snap because there was offsides and 216 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: there's no call. I don't know how they missed that, 217 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: and when they showed it on video replay, he clearly 218 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: stepped on the line with the line where the line 219 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: of scrimmage was and there's no call. Okay, Now they 220 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: come with this blitz and the t J. Edwards comes clean. 221 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: No one touches him, he hits Denucci. The ball comes out, 222 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: there's a scramble for it and Vinny Curry is laying 223 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: on his back holding the ball on his stomach as 224 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: Connor Williams is on top of him. Play should be dead, right, 225 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: Then the ball gets ripped out, it gets kicked backwards 226 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: and then McLeod picks it up and runs for a touchdown. 227 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: And I'm writing in my notes. As he's running down 228 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: the field, you know, unabated, I'm going, okay, this is 229 00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: coming back. This play's over with or there's a flag 230 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: out there for off sides and neither neither. How does 231 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: that happen? And they had an opportunity to look at 232 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: the play. Could they not see the ball resting in 233 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: his grasp? What happened? What happened on the review because 234 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: because Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth were talking about it, 235 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: they were looking at it. I never heard watching it 236 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: on television them say that they were. They were reviewing it. Obviously, 237 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: all scoring plays are reviewed. Maybe they don't have to 238 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: make that announcement. But all of a sudden they're saying, okay, 239 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: this is gonna be reviewed. They got their own analysts 240 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: who comes on and says, yeah, it looks like he's 241 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: got possession long enough, this is coming back. And then 242 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: all of a sudden they're showing the two point conversion 243 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: and there was no announce and then from a broadcast, 244 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: from a broadcast standpoint, they didn't even explain it. They 245 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: didn't even question that. They went back to it to 246 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: acknowledge exactly at all. Right, maybe they didn't wanted they 247 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: thought they were wrong, they were right, and then analyst 248 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: was right, can we can we challenge? So we can't challenge. No, 249 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: that's you can't challenge. It's a scoring play and so 250 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: any scoring play is reviewed from upstairs and so so 251 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: they don't have to make the announcement that it's being reviewed, uh, 252 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: from upstairs, but they need to call down and say 253 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: we need to review the gun with the ball. They 254 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: should have They should have stopped it. They should have 255 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: stopped it and reviewed it. But apparently they didn't. At least, 256 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: I mean, there was no there was no delay like 257 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: the fastest review ever. Yeah, because there was no delay 258 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: like they were holding up the two point conversion. Because see, 259 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: when we're here watching it, we can see a live 260 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: feed and then we see the TV feed, And so 261 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: I'm watching the TV feed and they're talking about how, yeah, 262 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: that looks like, you know, it should have been down 263 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: by contact, a ball should come back. And then I'm 264 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: looking at the live feed and they're lighting up for 265 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 1: the two point conversion and I'm just going, whoa, whoa, 266 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: what happened? I don't think they ever reviewed it? Yeah, 267 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,199 Speaker 1: they never did, and so they made you know they 268 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: were talking about it in the booth, but they never 269 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: they made two mistakes on one play, two mistakes on Yeah, 270 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 1: as they continued, no one in the booth or anyone 271 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: ever made reference to those mistakes. Again. It's almost like 272 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: they just wanted to move past it, right. It was like, oh, 273 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter this, you know, the Cowboys are about 274 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: to be two and six, six point game. Who knows. Okay, 275 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: they recovered the ball. The ball probably was recovered around 276 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: the thirty I don't know, thirty five, but they still 277 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: had to It's still fifteen to nine, you know, it's 278 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 1: still a ball game's right, plenty of time for a 279 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 1: winch to throw another pick. Yes, absolutely, if he had 280 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 1: to write, if he had to, might have been a 281 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: pick six this time. Trey Wall may have taken it 282 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: to the house. That would be great too. Yeah, he's 283 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 1: perfectly capable of doing that.

You know my theory on that the more 339 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 1: games you win in the row, the closer you're out 340 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: of losing, more games you're losing a row, the closer 341 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: you are to winning exactly the percentage of even This 342 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 1: could be our moment. We're going to bring back the 343 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: memories of Dwayne Thomas. We're bringing back the memories of 344 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,880 Speaker 1: Hollywood Henderson. I want to see some real dogs get 345 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 1: out there and play this week. Man. We could we 346 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: could salvage our reputation with this game if we just 347 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 1: not just play well, but win. And I don't know 348 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 1: if you guys, if you guys watched that game or now, 349 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: But you know, I understand Lamar Jackson's ability to run 350 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: to football. But as a team, Baltimore ran for two 351 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: hundred in in uh sixty five yards, ran for two 352 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five yards against that They were just 353 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 1: running right through their defense. I don't I don't know 354 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,199 Speaker 1: how you're saying Baltimore could lose that game other than 355 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 1: they turned the ball over. So you're saying that the Cowboys, 356 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 1: if the Cowboys just give the ball to Zeke and 357 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: Tony Pollard, they might be able to drive down the field. 358 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: Oh but wait, there's a wide receiver pad a reverse 359 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: pass instead. That was my other play that I was going, 360 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: all right, you want to go to that now? Sure? 361 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 1: Go ahead. Early third early third quarter, Cowboys are running 362 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 1: the football seven straight times, six yards to carry. They 363 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 1: go forty two yards in seven plays. They're getting it 364 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: down into field goal position at least second. Let Cox 365 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: hammering at Fletcher Cox behind the Cowboys multiple time Pro 366 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 1: Bowl offensive guard Zach Martin, time and time again, and 367 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 1: second and eight at the twenty eight And what's your call, Mickey, 368 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: I'm probably handing the ball off. Not what's your call, 369 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 1: I'm handing it off to get a shorter third down play. 370 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: But no, the Cowboys had to reach into their bag 371 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 1: of tricks and hand the ball off to Zeke going 372 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: one way, and he hands it to Cedric Wilson going 373 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,919 Speaker 1: the other way to his right. He looked like he 374 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 1: was getting the ball in his throwing hand. I'm not 375 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: sure who he was supposed to throw too, but he 376 00:23:54,000 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: probably wasn't open. And Fletcher Cox, Terrence Steele, does a 377 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: big whiff on the line of scrimmage and and Cox 378 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 1: comes in and drops Wilson for a ten yard loss. 379 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 1: Ten yard loss. So now you're trying to have to 380 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: kick a field goal because you're probably not picking up 381 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: third and eighteen. They gained I think two yards, and 382 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 1: they tried a fifty two yard field goal that took 383 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 1: a right turn before it got to the uprights. I 384 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: mean a right turn almost ninety degrees. Now I don't 385 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,400 Speaker 1: I know, the wind was blowing hard and it was gusting, 386 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: but that was the weirdest looking kick I've ever seen. 387 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 1: And so now no three right off the foot spass. 388 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: It wondered just it didn't take a right turn. It 389 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: immediately came off the foot and went right. That's a slice. 390 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: He was probably trying to kick it just like he 391 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 1: did at the end of the first half, which was 392 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 1: the mine drives, screwball, knuckleball, whatever it was that went through. 393 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,199 Speaker 1: Never got more than twelve yards off the ground. It 394 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: looked like and he and because of the wind, he uh, 395 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: he had to kick it like that in order to 396 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: get it through to from fifty nine yards and maybe 397 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 1: from fifty two. He decided to kick it the same way. 398 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,679 Speaker 1: And that's what happens when you try that. Oh that 399 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: back in my golfing days, when the winds blowing like that. 400 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: In my golfing days, when the winds blowing like that, 401 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: you have to hit a wind skimmer. He kind of 402 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 1: hit that drive low right, so he didn't get up 403 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: in the gusts. That's my grounder. My grounder comes in 404 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: very good right then, and on days like that. All right, 405 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: we're getting away from the point. But anyway, the point 406 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: is the play cost him a reasonable distanced field goal. Uh. 407 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: So you the three you didn't get, and then you 408 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 1: set them up at the fort twelve seven lead right right, 409 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: and you set them up at the forty two yard 410 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 1: line and only had to drive fifty eight yards for 411 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 1: a touchdown. So you went from possibly going up as 412 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: Bill said, twelve seven if zerline makes the field goal, 413 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: to now you're trailing fifteen to nine. And it was like, 414 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: I understand what they were trying to do, and they 415 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 1: probably thought they had set that play up, but again, 416 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 1: you got to remember who you're relying on on the 417 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 1: offensive line. And the worst part was, and I don't 418 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 1: know if you guys went back and looked at the 419 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: play when Steele missed Cox, he kind of went forward 420 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: and he was standing there in no man's land about 421 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 1: five yards from the line of scrimmage, is kind of 422 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,919 Speaker 1: looking around like, well, what do I do now, and 423 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: it's like, no, dude, it's too late, Mickey. The worst 424 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: part of it is you're playing with a quarterback who's 425 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: got three NFL practices under his belt. You're down there 426 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: inside the thirty yard line in field goal range. The 427 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 1: only way you're winning this game, you're gonna win a 428 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,239 Speaker 1: field goal battle. You cannot count on being able. And 429 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 1: there's nothing against Ben da Nucci. I think he's probably 430 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: got a great future in this league. But he's got 431 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 1: three practices under his belt. You cannot count on him 432 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: to lead you on touchdown drives. You have to kick 433 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,120 Speaker 1: field goals. When you have the opportunity to kick field goals, 434 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 1: you're down there at the twenty eight yard line, keep 435 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: himmering away, and if the drive bogs down, you're in 436 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: field goal range, and it sets the tone for the 437 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: whole rest of the game if you're able to kick 438 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: that chip shot field goal and make it a twelve 439 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,120 Speaker 1: seven league. When the Eagles come back and get their 440 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 1: touchdown and two point conversion, they're only ahead of you. 441 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,160 Speaker 1: Buy three points instead of six points. So the next 442 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: time down, when you're in scoring position again, you're not 443 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: trying to score touchdowns. You're just trying to kick field 444 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 1: goals and you have a chance to win the game. 445 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: That's how you win a football game when you've got 446 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 1: a quarterback with three practices under his belt. And it 447 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 1: could even go better than that, Bill What if? What 448 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: if it goes better than that. Let's say you go 449 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: down then you score a touchdown, or you say you 450 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: kick a field goal. Who says that Philadelphia comes back 451 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 1: down to scores? They might feel more pressure to call 452 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,199 Speaker 1: an entirely different game. Plan which might put them in 453 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: a desperate situation. Keller Morris thinking, just like you, Bill, 454 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 1: we didn't really want to put our quarterback in a 455 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,959 Speaker 1: situation to try and make a play down there so 456 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: close to the red zone. So that's why he ran 457 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 1: the play. But as far as I'm concerned, you don't 458 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: need Cedric Wilson or anybody with a jersey number that's 459 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 1: not in the twenties. So you should have had either 460 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: number twenty one a number twenty continuing to tote that rock, 461 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: continuing to tote that rock the way we were doing it. 462 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 1: My son and I was watching the matchup between Zach 463 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: Martin and Fletcher Cox. Zach's killing this dude man. Fletcher 464 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 1: Cox was taking plays off. He was gonna take a 465 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: playoff on that play if it wasn't for the for 466 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 1: the whiff that a spage was talking about and the 467 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: reason still had nowhere to go, no one to block 468 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: because everyone else was food on that play. There was 469 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: only one person to block, and that was the one 470 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,959 Speaker 1: that he just missed. Now, as I continue with that, 471 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: you've got this athletic guy in Wilson. He comes around 472 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 1: with the ball. If he could have just continued to 473 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 1: out to not allow Clocks for Fletcher Cocks to outflank him. 474 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 1: He could have chucked the ball, as far as I'm concerned, 475 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: continued to go towards the sideline, give a little bit 476 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 1: more and if nothing else, you could just throw in 477 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,959 Speaker 1: their complete pass. He did not have to let Cox 478 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: tackle him on that play. As far as I was concerned, 479 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 1: He's much better athletically than what he showed on that play. 480 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: He should have gotten away from Cocks on that one. 481 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 1: But even said, even all that said, even all of 482 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 1: that said, you continue to tote that. Why we're gonna 483 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 1: get closer and closer, continue to pound them and do 484 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: what we gotta do. You know what the problem is 485 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: with offensive coordinators, freaking egos. They killed me. They don't 486 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: want to say, oh, we just ran the ball down. Well, 487 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: that's not showing any ingenuity as far as they're concerned. 488 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: They always want to show how smart they are. That's 489 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: why I got fifty seven inceptions on these clowns, because 490 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: they always feel like they have to do something spectacular. 491 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: Stick to the script, stop being cute. That's the offensive 492 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: coordinators for you, right, And that was the second time 493 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 1: they wasted a possession because the second possession of the game, 494 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 1: after they recovered the fumble, if you remember, they were 495 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: firsting goal at the four, first in goal at the four, 496 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,959 Speaker 1: they hand the ball to Zeke and cam Irving gets 497 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: smoked and Zeke gets dropped for a three yard loss. 498 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 1: He missed his block, just totally missed the block. And 499 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 1: then it's second in goal at the seven and Steel 500 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: gets beat by Graham uh And and he another sack 501 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: and a fumble. So you can't wait when when when 502 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 1: you're offensively challenged? And Donucci said it after the game, 503 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 1: he said, the way I look at it, when you 504 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: crossed the fifty, that should turn into points. At some point, 505 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: you got to get points. And they crossed the fifty 506 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 1: eight times. Uh and and came away with no better 507 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: than field goals. And then and then they had the 508 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: two fumbles. Uh that that seriously cost him in this game. Hey, Mickey, 509 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 1: if if Bill Parcels was watching that game last night 510 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 1: and ever said you know this as well as anyone 511 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 1: he was pulling his hair out with, I mean because 512 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: he's probably had flashbacks to Tony Romo his rookie year 513 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 1: out of Eastern Illinois. And Okay, what if I could 514 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: just see Parcels looking at this game goal. Now, this 515 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: is an example of what if Tony Romo had got 516 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: thrown into a regular season game his rookie year without 517 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 1: any experience, coming into camp as a fourth string quarterback. 518 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: This is what would have happened with him. And I 519 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: guarantee you Parcel's philosophy in that game would have been, 520 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: we're kicking field goals. Every time we get a chance 521 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: to kick a field goal. We're not giving this guy 522 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: an opportunity to get sacked, fumble, throw a pick on 523 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 1: the even down there with second and goal at the 524 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 1: seven yard line. The goal is we have to at 525 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 1: least to get a field goal, and don't put don't 526 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: put this quarterback in harm's way of getting either sacked 527 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 1: and fumbling or throwing a pick on the ends on 528 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 1: the goal line. You know that whole That whole sequence 529 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 1: and when he was getting sacked reminded me of the 530 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one game when the Cowboys had to go 531 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: to Philadelphia the end of the year and if they 532 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 1: won the game, they were gonna clinch a wildcard playoff. 533 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: Berth Troy Aikman was hurt the game before against Washington 534 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: that Burline came in and saved the day and they 535 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: won the game. So getting ready for the Eagles, Jimmy 536 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: Johnson went to Burline and said, I don't care how 537 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 1: many incompletions you throw. I don't care what your quarterback 538 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 1: rating is. Do not take a sack because that gets 539 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 1: their defense wiled up. It'll get this crazy crowd riled up. 540 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 1: You just throw the ball away. And I think Burline 541 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 1: might have finished the first half like four for twelve 542 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 1: or something four for thirteen, but he kept throwing the 543 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 1: ball away. And then the second half the worm turns 544 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: and they end up winning the game and clinching a 545 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: wild card playoff berth. But do not take a sack. 546 00:33:56,600 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 1: And that's should have been right now. I'm looking up 547 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: right now Burlin in that game. But go ahead, Everson. 548 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, just to speak to plus sales mentality, 549 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 1: San Francisco Championship game and camp at Candlestick. At Candlestick, 550 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 1: UH fifteen to thirteen, we won the NFC Championship game. 551 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 1: Matt Barr five field goals to winning and there you go, 552 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: the game winner, the game winning with no time left 553 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,320 Speaker 1: on the clock. So you're exactly right about plus sales. 554 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 1: And in that game, um that Mickey's talking about, Steve 555 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 1: Burline was nine out of thirty one for one hundred 556 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 1: and forty five yards in the game. And that was 557 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 1: the Kelvin Martin punt returned game, Hugh, that was the 558 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 1: to me, that was the biggest play in the Jimmy 559 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 1: Johnson era, I mean in the history of his it. 560 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 1: I mean you could go all kinds of other players, 561 00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 1: but that play right there, attorney the round for that team. 562 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 1: The final score was twenty five to thirteen, but that 563 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: was a ten eight Philadelphia lead going into the fourth quarter. 564 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: And then Kmart had his eighty five yard punt return 565 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,719 Speaker 1: to give the Cowboys the lead at fifteen to ten. 566 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 1: Get this, Get this, Everson. Then Roger Rusak kicked a 567 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 1: field goal for the Eagles to make it the score, 568 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:26,799 Speaker 1: but made the score fifteen to thirteen, just like the 569 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 1: game that you're talking about in San Francisco. And then 570 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 1: the Cowboys in the closing couple of minutes had a 571 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,839 Speaker 1: touchdown past the Irvin and a Ken Willis field goal 572 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: to make the final twenty five to thirteen. But that 573 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,399 Speaker 1: was the exactly what type of game that should have been. 574 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:46,880 Speaker 1: Last night where you have to value the football because 575 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,920 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz was not valuing the football on the other side, 576 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,279 Speaker 1: and that gave you every opportunity to win that game. 577 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:56,319 Speaker 1: It's plays like that that turned things around. I mean, 578 00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 1: it makes you think and played differently. And that's what 579 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 1: I keep looking for for this team. Just give me 580 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 1: one play. One play can add to something else. Can 581 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:08,719 Speaker 1: they add to something else? And these guys won't have 582 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: to feel as if they're losers right now. You can 583 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 1: lose games, but you don't want to feel like one. 584 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 1: You want some optimism. You want some momentum that came 585 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: up did it for them? They need to have some 586 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,839 Speaker 1: some moments where you could do it for this team 587 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,720 Speaker 1: as well.

You mean, 634 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,400 Speaker 1: I'm supposed to remember something from a half hour ago. 635 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 1: I know, I know I was gonna say, I know 636 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:25,920 Speaker 1: what it was when they purposely took the safety on 637 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 1: the snap to the punt. So we're sitting there watching 638 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:34,279 Speaker 1: the game upstairs, and Derek Eagleton and myself we're looking 639 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,279 Speaker 1: at each other. I'm going, oh, this is going to 640 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:40,719 Speaker 1: be a disaster. You know, Chris Jones, he's got that 641 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,919 Speaker 1: abdomen injury and he's not punting the well ball. Well, 642 00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,879 Speaker 1: they're gonna get this ball at about the thirty five 643 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 1: yard line right And then the next thing we know, 644 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:54,640 Speaker 1: they snap it way over his head and I'm going, LP, 645 00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 1: did he just do that? And then it dawned on 646 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,879 Speaker 1: me what they were doing. They didn't want to give 647 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:04,479 Speaker 1: them the opportunity for a short field field goal. They said, hey, 648 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,799 Speaker 1: let's just take the safety, give up two points, and 649 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 1: then kick the ball away. While they weren't going to 650 00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,160 Speaker 1: kick it away, they came up with that pooch kick 651 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:17,480 Speaker 1: to try to basically an on side kick, and you 652 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,640 Speaker 1: know what if those guys would have cut them. It 653 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:27,120 Speaker 1: was a great idea try at all. Yes, yes, I 654 00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,279 Speaker 1: love the no quick attitude. Man. But you know, as 655 00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,759 Speaker 1: you look at this game, the coaches they're doing all 656 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,800 Speaker 1: they can. I mean, they've had some time to prep 657 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 1: with this quarterback. They put in some razzle dazzles and 658 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:45,480 Speaker 1: that was really really thought provoking in regards to what 659 00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 1: they did with the pooch kick after the safety. But 660 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:52,799 Speaker 1: what I was impressed with was the play of both 661 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 1: of our defensive ends. I thought Alton Smith and Randy Gregory. 662 00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 1: I thought they came in and played well. I loved 663 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:05,359 Speaker 1: Gregory's hustle. He never did give up on any play. 664 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:09,040 Speaker 1: He never was too far out of position. Of course, 665 00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:12,960 Speaker 1: there was some mistakes made, but just the optimism that 666 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:17,279 Speaker 1: came from from the way that this defense played. I 667 00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:21,120 Speaker 1: know Philadelphia's having their problems offensively, but when you look 668 00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:25,239 Speaker 1: at just the recognition of the players themselves, it's not 669 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,200 Speaker 1: just about who you're going against and how badly they're playing. 670 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:32,160 Speaker 1: It's about the recognition of your team. We saw our 671 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:36,080 Speaker 1: defense do some things that we hadn't seen all year long. 672 00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:40,160 Speaker 1: They were respectable against the run, they weren't too far 673 00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,319 Speaker 1: out of position on pretty much any play that night, 674 00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,680 Speaker 1: and those are the things that you That's how our 675 00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,640 Speaker 1: board is set right now. But we're building on that, 676 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:54,920 Speaker 1: and I love the momentum that's possible coming from this game. 677 00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:58,880 Speaker 1: You got interceptions, you got turnovers, you had pressure, you 678 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,719 Speaker 1: had pressure. I mean, Mike Nolan had to feel real 679 00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:05,160 Speaker 1: good about how his blitzes was showing up and giving 680 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,239 Speaker 1: Wentz problems. So that's something that we can carry on. 681 00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,840 Speaker 1: I don't care who you're playing against, Big Ben Daniel, 682 00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,319 Speaker 1: I don't care who it is. Pressure is pressure, and 683 00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,920 Speaker 1: it makes it makes you react a certain way. I'm 684 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,160 Speaker 1: hopefully that's gonna be good for the Cowboys. You know, 685 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:22,879 Speaker 1: they started the game off having trouble against the run. 686 00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,759 Speaker 1: The Eagles had fifty four yards rushing in the first 687 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,600 Speaker 1: quarter and I'm sitting there, gone, oh, here we go again, 688 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:34,400 Speaker 1: another two hundred yards rushing. Right. Well, they finally shut 689 00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,120 Speaker 1: it down, stayed in their gaps, and the rest of 690 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,160 Speaker 1: the way they only gave up in the next three 691 00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:43,440 Speaker 1: quarters sixty five yards rushing. So they figured something out. 692 00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:48,600 Speaker 1: And you could tell the more latent vander esh was playing, 693 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,640 Speaker 1: the better he was getting in rhythm of what was 694 00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:55,840 Speaker 1: going on, and he started making plays and it's starting 695 00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 1: to look more like his old self. And then Sean 696 00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:02,000 Speaker 1: Lee comes in. Um oh, I printed it out. I 697 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,360 Speaker 1: don't remember how many plays he ended up getting. It 698 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:08,280 Speaker 1: wasn't that many. Four four four snaps, yeah, four snaps, 699 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,080 Speaker 1: but but he showed, he showed that, you know what, 700 00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,319 Speaker 1: he knows what's going on out there, and so it 701 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:20,680 Speaker 1: really helped I think him on the side game, you 702 00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:24,319 Speaker 1: know what, Mickey, Mickey, I think I think that they 703 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:26,600 Speaker 1: made him. They knew that he wasn't going to play 704 00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,200 Speaker 1: that many snaps in the game, and they basically just 705 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,480 Speaker 1: got him out there for one series, really, but I 706 00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,839 Speaker 1: think that they they felt like it was valuable to 707 00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:39,480 Speaker 1: have him on the sideline to help out those linebackers 708 00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:43,520 Speaker 1: with his preparation and so forth. And because in this COVID, 709 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,040 Speaker 1: with the rules with COVID, he can't be on the 710 00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:49,120 Speaker 1: sideline if he's if he's uninjured reserve. But as an 711 00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,920 Speaker 1: active player, obviously he's on the sideline and he can 712 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,279 Speaker 1: help out. Maybe I'm overstating it a little bit, but 713 00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,600 Speaker 1: I think I think there's not a coincidence that they 714 00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,399 Speaker 1: made some adjustments during that game and taking another way 715 00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,280 Speaker 1: from the coaches either. It's just that preparation that Sean 716 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,600 Speaker 1: Lee has and he's able to coach up Layton and 717 00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:08,800 Speaker 1: Jalen as they make adjustments as the game goes along. 718 00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:13,839 Speaker 1: You saw it, Yes, yes, absolutely, I forget in order 719 00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,680 Speaker 1: for linebackers to play well, you know, we have to 720 00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:20,840 Speaker 1: continue with our reasons here. The linebackers were able to 721 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:26,160 Speaker 1: play well because the defensive lineman kept them unoccupied. So 722 00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:30,359 Speaker 1: as long as that relationship is there, your linebackers are 723 00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,680 Speaker 1: going to be even more effective. And as long as 724 00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:36,360 Speaker 1: though defensive ends are setting the edge correctly, then you 725 00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:40,560 Speaker 1: that's less ground that your linebackers have to cover. Your 726 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,560 Speaker 1: inside linebackers have to cover as well. So it's all 727 00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:47,000 Speaker 1: about coordination and working together. It seems like they've got 728 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,160 Speaker 1: that going once again. Not a very talented team, but 729 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,799 Speaker 1: I don't care who you playing against. As long as 730 00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,000 Speaker 1: you do your job right, you give yourself a better 731 00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:58,000 Speaker 1: chance against no matter how good the offensive team is. 732 00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 1: And let's remember this. It's the other thing that I like. Okay, 733 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:03,760 Speaker 1: we'll go ahead making Oh I thought you were getting 734 00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,000 Speaker 1: ready to end the show. Make your point and I'll 735 00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,279 Speaker 1: end it with mine. All right. The other thing that 736 00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:11,680 Speaker 1: I like going forward as we go into the second 737 00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,640 Speaker 1: half of the year the moves that they made last week. Now, 738 00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,680 Speaker 1: Everson Griffin, he wants to play on a team that's 739 00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,279 Speaker 1: contending for a playoff spot. We'll see if Detroit is 740 00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:24,080 Speaker 1: that team for him. But with releasing Don Terry Poe 741 00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:26,960 Speaker 1: and Daryl Worley, I want guys on my team the 742 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:30,600 Speaker 1: second half of the year that are competing not only 743 00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,560 Speaker 1: for this year, but for next year two. And I 744 00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:35,799 Speaker 1: think that's what they're getting at. And I think that's 745 00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:37,879 Speaker 1: where you're you're going to find this team playing with 746 00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,720 Speaker 1: more passion on defense, especially because you're gonna have guys 747 00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,720 Speaker 1: on this team that are playing for contracts next year two. 748 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 1: And I think one and the one thing that I 749 00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:52,520 Speaker 1: think we need to remember going forward. I know the 750 00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:56,239 Speaker 1: Cowboys are two and six. Philadelphia's only got one more 751 00:45:56,320 --> 00:46:01,640 Speaker 1: win than they do. M that's it. So you're telling 752 00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:05,840 Speaker 1: me leave it or not, We're still in the hunt, baby, 753 00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:10,120 Speaker 1: And it ain't over until it's over, babe. It ain't 754 00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:16,400 Speaker 1: oyain nicky and they're gonna make another trade by tomorrow afternoon. 755 00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,239 Speaker 1: Listening to Stephen Jones, it sure didn't sound like that 756 00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:23,880 Speaker 1: they were actively looking for anything or wanting to do anything. 757 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:27,120 Speaker 1: And he kept bringing up the impact those trades have 758 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:30,319 Speaker 1: on your salary cap. And they know they're gonna need 759 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,800 Speaker 1: money next year. So if anybody looks at the salary 760 00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,080 Speaker 1: cap and go, oh, they've got all this money this year, 761 00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:39,520 Speaker 1: it's not about this year. It's about the next year 762 00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,680 Speaker 1: going forward. So you have to be careful. And I 763 00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,960 Speaker 1: think they've got a decision to make on the punter. Um. 764 00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:50,080 Speaker 1: You know, they they had the guy on the practice squad, 765 00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:54,200 Speaker 1: and I believe he was able to go to the game. 766 00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,160 Speaker 1: He wasn't at the game, but made the trip. So 767 00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,719 Speaker 1: you never know, a hundred the punter might end up 768 00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,880 Speaker 1: being the punter if if, if they decide Chris Jones 769 00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:09,600 Speaker 1: is just trying to kick through this injury. Hunter Hunter, 770 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,840 Speaker 1: miss wonder. He may not have to wonder much longer 771 00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:24,000 Speaker 1: because a part they don't know it. But it's all right, 772 00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:27,640 Speaker 1: it's a rhyme every time. All right. That does it 773 00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:31,479 Speaker 1: for mix Shots for this Monday, we'll tell you all 774 00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:35,000 Speaker 1: about the trades at the Cowboys make tomorrow at one 775 00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:39,759 Speaker 1: thirty here on mix Shots, Go Cowboys.
