1 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 2 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:17,120 Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This He's Talking Cowboys, 3 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: screening live from the Dallas Cowboys World Hours at the 4 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: Star in Frisco. Here are Mickey Spagnola, Brian brought Us, 5 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: Rob Phillips, and Bill Jones, and it is another victory 6 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: Monday edition of Talking Cowboys here at the Star in Frisco. 7 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: There is no Mickey Spagnola to start off the show, 8 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: so we will lay the foundation for this show without 9 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: Mickey as he does other things. Right now, I am 10 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: Bill Jones along with Brian brought Us and Rob Phillips, 11 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: as the Cowboys now are on the brink of clinching 12 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: the NFC East after a sinilating twenty nine twenty three 13 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: overtime win over their chief rivals for the NFC East 14 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 1: crown as it turns out, the Philadelphia Eagles, and it 15 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 1: takes as a win over the Indianapolis Coats on Sunday 16 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: in India and the Cowboys win the NFC East. They 17 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: can do it otherwise too, but we focus on what 18 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: happened on Sunday, and wow, what happened on Sunday? How 19 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: about that Rob Phillips. How about that? How about how 20 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: about Dak Prescott? You know the mental toughness that that 21 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: young guy has three turnovers and this team's record is 22 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: not very good when he turns the ball over more 23 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: than once, two picks, a lost fumble which I think 24 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: was his six of the season, and to come back 25 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: and do what he did. Amari Cooper helps this offense. 26 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: I think we know that pretty well. I think we 27 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: figure that out. But I think your starting quarterback showed 28 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: you something again. And really what they did in the 29 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: fourth quarter in overtime asked overall another good strong defensive effort. 30 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: You know, I think I think when you look back 31 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: at it, it was a complete victory by this team, 32 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: but it was the theatrics offensively at the end that 33 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: kind of stole the story. Four hundred and fifty five 34 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: yards passing for Prescott that ties Troy Aikman for third 35 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: on the Cowboys all time list. Tony Romo had five 36 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: hundred six against Peyton, Manning and Denver five years ago 37 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: and a loss. Yeah, Dandy Don Meredith had four hundred 38 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,959 Speaker 1: and sixty yards in a loss. Aikman had four fifty 39 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: five in a loss. It's the first time. It's the 40 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 1: most passing yards for a Cowboys quarterback ever in a 41 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: win and the most completions ever for a Cowboys quarterback 42 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: in a game with forty two. Pretty amazing. The way 43 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: that this game was, it was really a roller coaster 44 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: ride for everybody along. You know, if you look at 45 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: kind of a tale of two halves for the defense 46 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: being as dominant as they were in the first half, 47 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 1: and then turn around in the second half, you know, 48 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: a little bit some struggles there, got a stop or two, 49 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 1: but overall you start seeing the Eagles were doing some 50 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: things better. But yeah, offensively with Prescott, you know, this 51 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 1: was a game I felt like that the that the 52 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 1: Eagles staff gets a lot of credit for how good 53 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: of a coaching staff they are. I think that Dallas 54 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: Cowboys coach has out coached the Eagles yesterday in this 55 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: football game. And I think it's other than the secondaries, 56 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: I think it was really two pretty evenly matched teams playing. 57 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: But the difference makers were in this case where I 58 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: feel like that with what Chris Rochard and Rod Marinoli 59 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: were able to do on defense, Scotland a hand what 60 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: he did in offense, and then Jason Garrett having the 61 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: guts to go for it down there. I've always been 62 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: very critical of Jason Garrett of not knowing the condition 63 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: of his team, and you know, he saw things that 64 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: were happening in the second half to his defense, and 65 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: he felt like that he had to go win that game, 66 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: and he put it on his players. The players responded, 67 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: and that's what you have to do as a coach. 68 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: You have to put your team. He talks about putting 69 00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: his team in the best position to win, and he 70 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: did that. And so I have to give him a 71 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: tip of the cap because you know, it had been 72 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: very easily for him to kick that fuel goal and 73 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: then say, okay, let's see if we can play defense here. 74 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: You know, but in the second half we'd seen some 75 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: a little bit of some slippage going on there too. 76 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: So for him to put it on Dak Prescott this 77 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: offense to go win that game, I think says a 78 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 1: lot about the coach, but it also says about the 79 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,559 Speaker 1: players he has in that locker room and those guys 80 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 1: on the field. It was a lot like the first 81 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: matchup in Philly in terms of, you know, the Cowboys 82 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,559 Speaker 1: earlier late in the first half had a six nothing 83 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: lead on the Eagles. It was thirteen three at the half, 84 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: and then when you came down the stretch of that game, 85 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: it was back and forth. One team scores, the other 86 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: team scores. It was just like this game, but the 87 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: only difference being that time the Cowboys got a stop 88 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: on the Eagles late in the game. This time they 89 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: had to go to overtime and went on offense. The 90 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: most exciting thing about the first half was a sixty 91 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: two yard field goal, which, by the way, it was 92 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: a half, was a franchise record by maher atoning for 93 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: amiss that he had earlier. So, yeah, Brian's right tail 94 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 1: two has and I think you asked us, Yeah, I 95 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: did twenty four twenty four. No, I appreciate you mentioned 96 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: in that on the post game on the OT because 97 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: you were saying, I don't think you were here, Bill, 98 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: but I asked Mickey and Rob oh I was here 99 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 1: when we were seemed to twenty four. But no, No, 100 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 1: it was we're talking about what team would go forth 101 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: the most. I worked down I got you you know 102 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: which coach would decide to go for it the most 103 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,359 Speaker 1: on fourth down? And you know, luckily your coach was 104 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: the one that made the right decision there to go 105 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 1: for it. I mean, they went forward on fourth down 106 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: and got a conversion with Sproles in the flat. But 107 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: you know your coach went forward at the end when 108 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: he when he absolutely you know, I thought, like I say, 109 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: I was a gutsy call to do it that way, 110 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: but he did what he had to do to win 111 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: the football game. Well, the other thing that you asked 112 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: last week was can this team get to twenty four points? 113 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 1: And it takes twenty four points to win the game. 114 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: And sure enough, yeah it. First team to twenty four 115 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: won that game. Hello, Mickey, Like twenty four twenty three 116 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: that I predicted. I guess I should have gone twenty 117 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: three twenty three. Huh then yep, and then exclude overtime. 118 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: So the head coach on fourth and one realized his 119 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: team had gained five hundred and fifty seven yards at 120 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,799 Speaker 1: that point. I don't know that it was that gutsy. 121 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: I think he looked at what his team was doing 122 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: on the field. They were gaining yards in gobs and 123 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: to go for one yard, yeah, go for it. I'd 124 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: put the game away. I was not surprised at all, 125 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: I mean either, And as he said, We've got the 126 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: best runner, in our opinion, in the National Football League. 127 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 1: So gutsy from the standpoint, if he does not get 128 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: that first down, though, what is he looking at? A tie? 129 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 1: Probably probably see the guy came during that time out 130 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: I started doing the map. Okay, what does a tide 131 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: down this? I mean, gutsy from the fact that that 132 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: he could have kicked that field goal? He very well 133 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: could you know that? That's that to me? Is you 134 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: know there was really no givens. I mean you're talking 135 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: about gobs of yards and all of a sudden, you're 136 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: also talking about tons of mistakes. How about the snap 137 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: that was low? Sure, trying to get the game, trying 138 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,359 Speaker 1: to win the game. You know, guy can't win. He 139 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: can't win. Well, he doesn't go for it and he 140 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: gets beat up. He goes for it and people are 141 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: beating him up, like what are you doing? No, I'm 142 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: not beating him up at all. Given a lot of 143 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: people are giving him credit for, you know, giving him 144 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: credit for what he did. I think he saw what 145 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: his team was doing that Houston game. They were tackled 146 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: for losses. They were getting tackles for zero yards all 147 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: up and down the field. Zeke this one five hundred 148 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: and fifty seven yards to that point, well, and yeah, 149 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: but to the point of what play you're gonna call Zeke? Now, 150 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: in both cases Zeke got stopped for no game to 151 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: play before. But the difference this time, aside from the 152 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: field position, the difference this time is that Zeke had 153 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirteen yards rushing in this game and 154 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: that game he had twenty carries for fifty four yards, 155 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: and there was no evidence whatsoever that they could get 156 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: a yard against that Houston defense on that night. Now, 157 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: if they played Houston, now maybe they would be able 158 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: to who knows, but uh and then from a field 159 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: position standpoint, uh, he You know, in the Houston game, 160 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: the idea was you're punting them down the field, you know. 161 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: I think also, you know, the rules with the overtime 162 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: are different this year, with the ten minute, with the 163 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: ten eight minutes and tence. I think it'll take and 164 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: I think it's it's taking coaches, including Garrett time to 165 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: realize how how the overtime rules are different because of 166 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: the limited amount of time and you're probably only going 167 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: to get one possession and they weren't going to get 168 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: the ball back kick a field goal right right, Well now, 169 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: but if you look at that Houston game too. Now, 170 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: in hindsight, now that we know how quickly the ten 171 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,319 Speaker 1: minutes goes at an overtime period, they weren't getting the 172 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: ball back to do anything with it in that Houston 173 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: game either. That's the other thing. I think he may 174 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: have done it and made a different decision now that 175 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: we figured out the Yeah, well you he could. He 176 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: could have still gone with the conservative route though, kick 177 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: the field goal and say, okay, they've got less by 178 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,719 Speaker 1: two minutes, yet less than two minutes to be down 179 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: the field and score touchdown. How they went for it 180 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: fourth and one with four minutes to go? Now he's 181 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: talking about yesterday. Yesterday. Yeah, I'm sa minutes to go 182 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: when they went for it. Okay, that's true, He's okay, 183 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: so they would have had under five minutes. Still, I 184 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,719 Speaker 1: mean with those rules. You know again, you guys are right. 185 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: He knew the condition of his football team. I talked 186 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: about it during the week. This is an Eagles team 187 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 1: that has been leaking yardage. They had a good game 188 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: against Washington. We know what Washington is right now. The 189 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: three games before that, Philly had allowed four hundred plus yards. 190 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: Now they give up a five spot in this game. 191 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,199 Speaker 1: But you know, yeah, you know, a better team won 192 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: this game. I mean yeah, doubled them up on first downs. 193 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,959 Speaker 1: The Eagles were one of nine on third down. It 194 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: was another ass kicking. Didn't show it up on the scoreboard. 195 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: Doubled them up on Yeah, on time of possession. The 196 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: better team won this game. Okay, here's the other thing 197 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: on the way I've seen Garrett now, and this is 198 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: the third time in five years he's had a playoff 199 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: bound team, a team that is good enough to make 200 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: the playoffs. It seems to me like in those other 201 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: years twenty fourteen and twenty sixteen and now this year 202 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: when he gets to December, November, December, in these when 203 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: he's got good teams, he's a he goes for it 204 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 1: more on fourth down than what he does when he 205 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: has a bad team. He gets knocked for not being 206 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: aggressive enough. I think he's a lot more aggressive when 207 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: he has a good team than when he has a 208 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: bad team. Especially, that's just what i've five hundred yards 209 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: and if you didn't pick it up, they get the 210 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: ball at the nineteen that Houston game, they would have 211 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: given him the ball at the forty five. You know, 212 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: I don't know how calculated all of our decisions are. 213 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: Kit Garrison with gold Yeah, No, it's just was well played. 214 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: I mean, they did what they had to do to 215 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: win that football game. And you know the fact that 216 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,319 Speaker 1: they took eight minutes off the clock and over time 217 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: gave him that opportunity to do that. I was thinking, 218 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: how they were gonna just keep running the ball and 219 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 1: just run the clock completely out and just try That's 220 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,439 Speaker 1: that's what I was thinking of. Essentially, they gonna get 221 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: a shot at this Philly and they if Philly didn't 222 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: make the play to stop Zeke for the three yard loss, right, 223 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: they probably would have wound up doing that. Yeah no, no, 224 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: I mean that would that would have been a perfect 225 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: way to play this game. But then again, you're putting 226 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 1: in a field goal kickers. He trust him? Sixty two? 227 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: Maybe not forty five? Sixty two? You got nothing to lose, right, 228 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: that's my point, right, Yeah, yeah, But if you ran 229 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: it all the way down, you're able to get the 230 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 1: first down, and now you're kicking a twenty yard field 231 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: goal to win it, do you trust him? Then? See 232 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: that's when I'm yeah, that's you know, that's open for debate. 233 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: I mean, that's seriously, is open for debate. Is that 234 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: something that is gonna is gonna haunch you down the 235 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: stretch when you play in these games? Yeah? You know 236 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: the thought, Yeah, I made a sixty two yard field goal. 237 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: Mickey's right, you got nothing to lose there, go ahead 238 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: unless he gets blocked or it's short and they and 239 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: they have a guy back there and they you know, 240 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: get an Alabama Auburn situation where they're running the ball 241 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: back on you up the field. But you know, no, 242 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 1: I mean, I to me, I think it's I think 243 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 1: it's open for debate. Was he an eighty percent kicker? 244 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: Right now? I don't. Is his numbers right at eighty percent? 245 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: Near eighty percent? You know, I'm sorry I didn't beyond 246 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 1: forty yards when he missed. Um, I'm just overall, just 247 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: gonna be overall. Is he is he even for? Is 248 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: he even eighty percent? I did well, he did come 249 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 1: back and make a twenty one yard or I did 250 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 1: look this up. Yeah, he had made nine straight before 251 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 1: that kicking. Okay, missed the kick against Philly and then 252 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 1: it perfect sense. Then I don't know his exact same 253 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,839 Speaker 1: said he was, I want to say the broadcast said 254 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: he was eleven or fifteen from forty yards and the 255 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: forty yard range was okay to say, well something you know, 256 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: you hope I mean again winning the Great deodorant. But 257 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: is that something that we need to look at, you know, 258 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: much like we're critical of the sacks and things like 259 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: that that happened in the game or dack in the pocket, 260 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: fumble in the ball or whatever. I mean, is the 261 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: field goal kicking here something as you get into playoffs 262 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: that you want to say, Oh, well, yeah, I feel 263 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: just you know, I feel wonderful about that. I don't know, 264 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think we're necessarily I know, 265 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: I don't you know, Yeah, I mean I don't always 266 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: want to put it in on his foot. Okay, why 267 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: doesn't Pro Football Reference and it is eighty four percent 268 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: and it's eleventh from fifteen from forty plus right before 269 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: its twenty seven for thirty two on the season. Yeah, okay, right, 270 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: maybe that's better than you know, It's just it's just 271 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 1: thirty two. I don't know, I now woiled well spoiled 272 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: or like, yeah, I mean I sit there and you know, 273 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: I would hope that my kicker can make one from 274 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 1: forty five yards. I'm not expect him to make it 275 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: from sixty two, but I'm hopefully he can make it 276 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: from forty five. And what he is from forty to 277 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: forty ninety seven? For ten Beyond fifty, he's five for six. Yeah, 278 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: there you go. Beyond sixty, he's won for one. Yes, 279 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 1: he is. That's so weird, just like from the third 280 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: longest field goal in NFL history matches the third longest, Yeah, 281 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 1: I mean he's sixty three and sixty four or the longest. 282 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: We know. He's got a strong leg. He kicked a 283 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: fifty seven yard or in the preseason finale, which kind 284 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: of set him the job bought. Yeah, And but he 285 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 1: told us after the game he doesn't even try sixty 286 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: two in pre game with a full operation. They go 287 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 1: about fifty eight and that's it. So I'm surprised he 288 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: didn't try for a Hail Mary there. Yeah, I thought 289 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 1: he was too where the positioning was. But hey, you know, 290 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: good for him if you know, if you walk over 291 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,719 Speaker 1: to the kicker or to you know, walk over to 292 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 1: Keith though Quinn and say, hey, what's his range today? 293 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: All right sixty two, coach, were good, Okay, let's try 294 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: this one here. You know, that's that's one of those ones. Again, 295 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: give him some credit. That's a gut call. I mean 296 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: he could have he could have thrown a hill mary 297 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: there and not got any points or you know, yeah, 298 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: luckily you had their their field goal kicker missed a 299 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: field goal or an extra point two or do a lateral. Yeah, 300 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: it wasn't a good day. Speaking of that, it wasn't 301 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: a good day for the coaching geniuses yesterday as Peterson lost, 302 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: Sean McVay last night got beat and then a Hall 303 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: of Fame coach decided Rob Gronkowski would be better than 304 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: Devin mccordy as his safety on the final play of 305 00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: a game. But they really think they were going to 306 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: throw the ball like seven it was this It was 307 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: the thirty one yard line. Yeah, not not with that 308 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: quarterback back and you had to drop back right right, 309 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: I mean you would putting Gronk in the game if 310 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: it's the yard If they're throwing from the fifty yard line, right, 311 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: they're throwing into the goal line. Now you get someone 312 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: to bat it down. They even had better options than 313 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: Gronk on his own team. I mean, why not, Josh Gordon. 314 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: Let's thinkers thinking too much right there? I mean for 315 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: that purpose, But you're right from the thirty one Yeah, okay, 316 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: the best chance of them to score was gonna be 317 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: a Tyreek Hill type play like the screen. You surprised 318 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: Peterson didn't go for the win yesterday. Yeah, at the 319 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: end after they tied it, Yeah, especially after the penalty. Yeah, 320 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: should have moved the ball to the one it would 321 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: have Yeah. Now heat now their best there. Their two 322 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: point play that they ran against Washington last week or 323 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: Monday night was the option play that Dallas snuffed. They 324 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: ran that play for a two point play the other 325 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: day in a game, So maybe. I mean, I'm sure 326 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson's got all kinds of the Philly specials, And yeah, 327 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: I wouldn't like that, I guess, especially knowing talked about 328 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: knowing the condition of your team. Yeah, he hadn't stopped 329 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: anybody their secondary I mean we talked about it. He 330 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: could have stood up there and said, Okay, I lost 331 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: this game because did you see my secondary play? Yeah? Well, 332 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: the analytics guys had to be beside themselves when he 333 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: didn't go. Well, usually he's the champion of analytics. I 334 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: get more people tweeted me about him, and oh, look 335 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: how smart Doug Peterson is, right, and then every you 336 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: know and and again we talk about knowing your condition 337 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: to your team, and Mickey pointed it out. His defense 338 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: gave up five hundred something yards yesterday. He should have 339 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: tried to end that game right now. It's like my 340 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: guys at LSU against A and M should have ended 341 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: that game right there. You can't let you can't put 342 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: those guys back out there again. You know you got 343 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: what you deserve. Doug Peterson, congratulations. Didn't want to lose 344 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: on one play and on that Yeah, but but to 345 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: the point of he lost anyway, I understand. Yeah, And 346 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: so whatever happens at the end, he went against wrong, 347 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: he gave up, he did the opposite of what he 348 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: generally believes, and that cost him. And on the winning play, 349 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: what do you think of the decision to go with 350 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 1: an all out blitz and just leave his corners on 351 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 1: an island against the Maria Well almost hell of a 352 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 1: pickup by heel of a pickup by Ezekiel. Elliott, yeah, Elliott, Yeah, 353 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: he smashed because if if they I mean they let 354 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 1: the they let the one guy go that Dak Prescott 355 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: can account for the linebacker Brad him that that's the 356 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: one guy he could see. He couldn't see the blitz 357 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: coming from the inside. And a great job by by Zeke, 358 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: you know, beat up in the whole game, playing hard, 359 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: catching balls and then blitz pick up. Okay, I get you. Yeah, 360 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: you know you got my vote. You know, well he 361 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: sold out. Yeah, he gambled. Well, he had to his 362 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: team again. That defense was a mess. We said that 363 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: going in that they weren't gonna be able. They didn't 364 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: have anybody that can cover Amari Cooper, didn't matter who 365 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 1: they put on him. You know, that just was That's 366 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 1: the way it was. Douglas actually played the route pretty well, 367 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 1: so he sat on it and he didn't bite on 368 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: the fade, didn't buy on the fake. Yeah. So but 369 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,640 Speaker 1: I mean that's hey, that's you know, that's the way 370 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: it ends up. That's good.

Twenty nine, twenty three and overtime 427 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: win over the Philadelphia Eagles, a season series sweep of 428 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 1: the Eagles, and the Cowboys again can clinch the division 429 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 1: with a win at Indianapolis, and Mickey, I think I've 430 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: got this figured out right. They can also lose at Indianapolis, 431 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 1: but they would need an Eagle's loss and or Redskins 432 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: loss to clinch this week. That's right, So there you go. 433 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: They just need one more victory, basically beat basically that's it. Yeah. 434 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 1: Oh so it's not just an Eagles loss, it's a 435 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: it's a Redskin loss because technically the Redskins, even though 436 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: it's impossible for them and they're current state to do this. Yeah, 437 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: they could win out and the Cowboys lose out, and 438 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 1: the red Skins would have a better record. Mark Rippin 439 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: ain't walking through that door. Yeah, so Joe, thisman, Sonny Jergetson, 440 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: whoever you want to, maybe they can get Troy to 441 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: come out of the broadcast booth. I don't think that's 442 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: gonna that's not happening. I don't think so. All right, 443 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: h Mickey, you have your officiating hat on. It's starting 444 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 1: with the first play of that game, the opening kickoff. 445 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: It was not a particularly good day for the officials. 446 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 1: Wouldn't you say? Cowboys got lucky? Yeah? Play? Did you 447 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 1: really lucky on that one? Yes? They did well. They 448 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 1: stood with the call on the field, right, Yeah, they did. 449 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: Mike Perre, did you hear what he said? No, he 450 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 1: said to change the call, you have to have a 451 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 1: clear recovery. I kind of felt like they had the 452 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 1: ball and they looked like four guys had it, but 453 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:56,199 Speaker 1: you couldn't tell out of the pile is an Eagle player. Yeah, 454 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: but you could always grab it away from your watching 455 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: on Dallas Cowboys dot com. Um, you see the replay there. 456 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 1: You see the ball come out, but do you see 457 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 1: a recovery. I think are the Mouth of the East 458 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: came out of the pile with that ball, but they 459 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 1: didn't gruge Hill of the East. The Mouth of the 460 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 1: East came out with the ball that and they just 461 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: did not give him the call. But anyway, good, Hey, 462 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 1: you know, that's that's good. That's all right. It's a 463 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: good way to start the game. Why don't you bring 464 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 1: the ball out anyway? He never does, it's all eve. Yeah, 465 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 1: I mean, but yeah, I thought I thought initially the 466 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: ball was to the one, but it was in the 467 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: end zone. He was three yards deep in that thing. 468 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,120 Speaker 1: So yeah, but I just don't I didn't quite get 469 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 1: that one even it evened out. Yeah, well yeah, okay, 470 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: So now let's go to the fourth quarter of this extravaganza. 471 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 1: And it was not the finest hour for the officiating 472 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 1: crew in the fourth quarter, to say the least, Right, 473 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: which one you want to play by playsheet. The one 474 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: that sticks out to me is the Dallas Goddard touchdown 475 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 1: the past an offensive as interference. Yeah, and then the 476 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: makeup calls after that. Yeah, that's some makeup calls. I'll 477 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: tell you. The worst call to day though, was the 478 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: Randy Gregory Yeah, because that was the Goddard refers. Name 479 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 1: is Blakeman, right, yes, Cleet Cleet probably named yeah, Cleat Boyer, 480 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: the old Saint Louis Cardinals fame. And uh, the the 481 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,919 Speaker 1: call that he made on that on the on the 482 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: roughing the passer, he if he goes back and watches now, 483 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,959 Speaker 1: not kept showing you the one where Randy took two steps, 484 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: I'm talking the second one where he went low. And 485 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: if you watch the play closely, though, Jason Peters has 486 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 1: his hands in the middle of of Gregory's back and 487 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: is pushing him to the ground, pushing him, trying to 488 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 1: push him past the quarterback, so you have contact blocker 489 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: contact with rusher and then pushing him in towards the ground. 490 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: Randy Gregory's got no no other recourse other than to 491 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: grab the legs. He didn't throw put his helmet in there, 492 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: didn't put his shoulder in there. Didn't go for the knee, 493 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,400 Speaker 1: hit him with any force at He wrapped him up 494 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,360 Speaker 1: around the legs. But the whole time he was being 495 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: pushed in the back by Jason Peter, So you have 496 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: contact from a blocker. It reminded me very much of 497 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: a call that they don't make when you have like 498 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 1: a running the kicker or punter, one of those things 499 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 1: where a blocker is engaged. Yeah, and then you know 500 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 1: he missed that call and he had he had a 501 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: clear line of sight to see that right there. That's 502 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: a that's a terrible call. I understand trying to protect 503 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: quarterbacks and the legs. But if you're engaged with a 504 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: blocker and and you're being pushed to the ground and 505 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: you make an athletic play like that, that that's that's 506 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: just a terrible term. And you're you're basically just wrapping 507 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: your arms around the legs of the quarterback. That's right. 508 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,479 Speaker 1: You're not hitting him with any force whatsoever, not at all. 509 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: And as Mike Perera pointed out immediately after that, it 510 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: was a bad call. Yeah, I mean he basically grabbed 511 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: his foot, he was already on the ground. It's not 512 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: like he went low. Yeah, he was already spun him 513 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:03,880 Speaker 1: around pretty good. I mean you can see him making 514 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 1: me go back. You can see him. He wraps him 515 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: up and he starts to spin him, and that's where 516 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 1: he gets in the splits. I think what happened was 517 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: though there was a really good rush coming up the 518 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 1: other side of the field, and I think that's where 519 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 1: Blackman got kind of he got law. He was trying 520 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: to move, but then his line of sight was fine 521 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 1: after but he the fact that they missed Peter's hands 522 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 1: on Gregory pushing him with still engaged as he was 523 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: going to the quarterback. I think that was the that 524 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: was the biggest crime of this thing. And on the 525 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,360 Speaker 1: previous play on the offensive past interference, it looked like 526 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: on one of the assuming that was the only the 527 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 1: right hand shove. Yeah, yeah, the quarterback the ball was 528 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: not in the air. Yeah, the quarterback could not release 529 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 1: the football yet. No, he had not. But it doesn't 530 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 1: matter if it's on the offense. Yeah, you can't push off. 531 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 1: That's what they're saying. They're saying. They're saying he pushed 532 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: with his right his right arm to run the route 533 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: and Jeff pick play. Yeah, Jeff Heath did a hell 534 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: of a job of selling it like he was falling 535 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,959 Speaker 1: out of there. It was a bad call. Yeah, not 536 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: to mention their guy on the defensive end that threw 537 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: his hands up in the air like Tyrann Smith was 538 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: was holding him and he yeah, okay, Well they scored 539 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,439 Speaker 1: on that drive anyway though. Yeah, all right, So how 540 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 1: about the Zeke call? Oh that was Is that the 541 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: first time in NFL history that's been called on ten times? 542 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 1: There's ten or eleven times? But was it but with 543 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,360 Speaker 1: an offensive player being the initiator? That's what I'm saying. 544 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: We were talking about that last night on the on 545 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 1: the post game show. I don't know, I don't know 546 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: that that that safety was going low on the player 547 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 1: right there. That was a question. So would they have 548 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 1: called it on the safety because he went low with 549 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: his head? Oh no, he went real low, That's what 550 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: And that's what Zeke said after the game was if 551 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: he's going low, then I've got to go low to 552 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 1: protect myself. Yeah, but he also qualified it and said 553 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: the rules are to keep us all safe. So I've 554 00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 1: got to go back and look at it, and maybe 555 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: I've got to do better with my technique. But he's 556 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,880 Speaker 1: being nice well, that was a question that came up 557 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: in training camp when the officials came and talked to 558 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,679 Speaker 1: us about And that was one of the questions though 559 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 1: with the new rules, was can you can a running 560 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 1: back be called for this for trying to lower his 561 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: head and make a play. And the dude said, you 562 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 1: have to judge intent. Yeah, the intent wasn't to hurt somebody. 563 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: The intent was to protect myself. Right, you hurt himself. 564 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: He had to come off the field for a couple 565 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,159 Speaker 1: of plays, right kind of. He said, he got a 566 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 1: singer and a singer and briefly lost feeling in his 567 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 1: arm by the time he came he went into the tent. 568 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 1: By the time he came back, he said he was 569 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,640 Speaker 1: pretty much okay. Yeah, and he finished out the game 570 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: very well. Because I remember asking that guy and then 571 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: they wouldn't let us use it. I said, what happens 572 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: on the goal line when the guy goes up in 573 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: the air, Yeah, and he's coming down and he hits 574 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: somebody with his helmet, and the guy goes, well, you 575 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: have to judge intent. Did he come down with the 576 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: intent to use his helmet to hit somebody? And he 577 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 1: goes and that'll be a judgment call. Chances are not 578 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: because you went up and then you're coming down out. Well, 579 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: this was no different. They got over officious in the 580 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: fourth quarter for some reason. And also on that on 581 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: the Zeke play, he had Camu gruge Hill on his 582 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: back pushing yes down and there's another hands engaged all 583 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. Yeah, exactly, But you're right they 584 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 1: got overly officious down the stretch of that game. You 585 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: don't give you my philosophy on how they need to 586 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: officiate the game. They need to put these guys every 587 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: twenty yards on like one of those volleyball stands so 588 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 1: you can see what's going on instead of being on 589 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: the field. Because you cannot see on the field. I'm sorry, 590 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: I was. They could just flip the coin to start 591 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: the game and stay out of the way. That's what 592 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 1: they need to do. Is they need to put him 593 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: in Booger's stand. Yeah, let the thing go down the 594 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: field tennis. Yeah, but a high chair, absolutely, a high chair. 595 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: That'd be funny, you see, but they can see. Yeah, 596 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 1: and also people be running into the tower outside. Take 597 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: your chance? Why not? All right, lit a lot of 598 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: pads on the thing. Let's go to Rick in Ohio, 599 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: your first up on Talking Cowboys. Hello, Rick, I just 600 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: wanted to say I appreciate everything you guys do for 601 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: US Cowboys fans out here, and I just wanted to 602 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: say I hope Michael Gallus stays on the right track. 603 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: He's been getting open, but I know the ball hasn't 604 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: been balling to him. I just want him to keep 605 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: doing what he's doing. Thank you guys having a bus 606 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: a day, appreciate three games in a road. He's he's 607 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: been right there two different occasions. I think last night, right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, 608 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 1: He's just got to keep plugging away. He's really coming 609 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: on as a as a young receiver. They can get 610 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 1: separation and make big plays. They've got they've got a 611 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 1: guy on each side on the outside. They can do it. 612 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: The one and I think he lost the ball right 613 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 1: because I saw Dak go, Yeah, look for the ball. 614 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 1: That's the one thing. And Mariy Cooper can find the football. 615 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: You see Mary Cooper and that ball is going in 616 00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: the air. He's got his eyes on it. And I 617 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: think I think what happens to Gallop is that he 618 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: fights so hard to get off the line because he 619 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 1: really doesn't know how to get off the line the 620 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: right way. Yet you know, Cooper's is so smooth and 621 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: the way he separates, so that's kind of a battle 622 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: for for gallop and then he kind of he gets okay, 623 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: I'm clear, and oh where's the ball? Kind of a 624 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 1: bit you know, where he stops running or he he 625 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: doesn't you know, or he doesn't run fast enough, or 626 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,959 Speaker 1: Dak just doesn't get him. I mean, how many how 627 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: many players have they left when you said it with 628 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 1: last three games? Last three games? Now I think I 629 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: mean they could have. They just could have. You know, 630 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: people are like, oh, they've got to throw the ball deep, 631 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: they got to throw it. They throw the ball deep 632 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 1: and they you know, and it doesn't work out that way. 633 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: Now he did I might have been the Atlanta game 634 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: or he you know press coverage, Oh yeah he got off, Yeah, 635 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 1: and a forty yard pick up. They've hit it some. 636 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 1: It just hasn't been consistent. Yeah, that's that's disappointment, Dove 637 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 1: for this one. Well, they could have killed the game 638 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: at the end. You know, they could have killed that 639 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: game in regulation if if they just hook up on 640 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: that one pass at the end, you know, I mean, 641 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: they knew what they were doing. They Hey, they you know, 642 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 1: Scott Linehan's watching the game from above, He's looking at 643 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 1: it going, He's going, they can't cover our guys. Guys, 644 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 1: and they let's just throw this thing deep. See what happens. Right. 645 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: You know, they had a shot, had a shot to 646 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: make it work, just didn't make it all right. Dak 647 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: Prescott's performance, you touched on it off the top, and 648 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: of course the records that were set, and I think 649 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: basically what Garrett said after the game and what you 650 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: said off the top, Rob is what I take away. 651 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: The just the mental toughness of playing through every the 652 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: ebbs and flows of a game is one of the 653 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 1: most impressive things about it. Blood all over him, he's 654 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: got band aids on his hands. You know, this guy 655 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 1: gives you everything. He has, everything he's got. He's never 656 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 1: gonna be a great quarterback, but he is going to 657 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 1: be a guy. He's a winner. That is exactly the 658 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 1: best compliment you can pay him is he will give 659 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 1: you everything he has. He's not mechanically going to be great, 660 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 1: He's not always going to be accurate. But when the 661 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 1: when the when they start to flip the cards over 662 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 1: and start pushing chips to the mill of table. This 663 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 1: guy's sitting at the table looking at you right in 664 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: his eye. I mean, he is not going to back 665 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 1: down from a challenge. He's not going to sit there 666 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: and fold up and all that. Yeah. Does he need 667 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 1: to protect the ball in the pocket. Yeah, but they 668 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: need to block better for him. Yeah, they need to 669 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: do that, you know, to throw the interception that he 670 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 1: had the first interception. It was almost a great anticipation 671 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: throw because they run Cooper across the field and he's anticipating, 672 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 1: you know, him being in that spot. He's stolen to 673 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: a spot. But give Douglas some credit. I mean, he 674 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 1: came off. If you maybe if you put I mean, 675 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 1: if they had they had Sholtz to that side running 676 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 1: the out, if you put at a wide receiver to 677 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 1: that side running the out, maybe Douglas has to respect 678 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 1: that a little more and then is not allowed to 679 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 1: funnel inside to make that play. But you know, Dak, 680 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 1: I don't think you could say enough good about him. 681 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 1: You know, he's not going to be perfect, but he 682 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 1: the one thing you could say about him is he 683 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,320 Speaker 1: is a tough sob and every time it's on the line, 684 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: he will give you everything he has, good or bad, 685 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,799 Speaker 1: to try and see what he can do. And as 686 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:18,320 Speaker 1: far as being a leader of men, yeah, that people 687 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 1: feed his teammates feed off of all that stuff that 688 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 1: he brings to the table. And yet, having said that, 689 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,720 Speaker 1: he completed seventy seven percent of his passes for four 690 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty five yards four fifty five. How many 691 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,640 Speaker 1: quarterbacks can throw two interceptions, lose a fumble and not 692 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: tucked tail right. Yeah, and he came back. He came 693 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 1: back and three touchdowns. Got a quarterback rating of one 694 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,799 Speaker 1: oh four. Would you take that every game? Absolutely? A 695 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 1: quarterback rating of one four inception. Yeah, that's unbelievable. It's 696 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,240 Speaker 1: just shame. I mean, I'm interested to see what Lenahan 697 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 1: or somebody says about the the interception that he had, 698 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 1: because he had gallop in the middle of the field 699 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:58,840 Speaker 1: and it looked like to me, and I'm not a quarterback, 700 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: you know, whisper or anything like that, but you just look, 701 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 1: it looks like the toe was pointed right, it looked 702 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 1: like the shoulder was pointed right. But the ball he 703 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 1: threw it it was way above his head, I mean 704 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 1: like way above it. Yeah, he takes that huge stride 705 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 1: and that then his arm angle gets a little funny 706 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,399 Speaker 1: on him, and when the ball sails on him, it's 707 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 1: usually when he has that long stride. But you know, 708 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,760 Speaker 1: if he if he just a little bit tighter down, 709 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: I think would have been would have got the ball there. 710 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 1: But the ball was way way way high, and that's 711 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,759 Speaker 1: why I think it sailed on him on that particular play. 712 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:37,880 Speaker 1: And he's the type quarterback that the those fundamentals are 713 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: imperative for him. He gets away with some crazy fundamentals. 714 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 1: But he also I mean he threw a past to 715 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 1: Zeke underneath where he's jumping through the middle of the 716 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 1: pocket and you know, trying to just get him the ball. 717 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:53,439 Speaker 1: And I mean there's it's he's not perfect. He's not perfect, 718 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 1: you know. But was he better than Wentz? Oh yeah 719 00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 1: he was. Yeah, Wentz two hundred twenty eight yards. Yeah, 720 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 1: he had three touchdowns and no picks. He had a 721 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 1: good game too, but they didn't really get going till late. 722 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,399 Speaker 1: And Zach Ertz five catches for thirty eight yards. Again, 723 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 1: that that was the biggest thing. Yeah, defensively, you know, 724 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:15,920 Speaker 1: were they didn't run the ball and they didn't get 725 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:17,759 Speaker 1: the ball to Zach Ertz. Yeah, I mean they made 726 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 1: some plays late, but take away the turnover that got 727 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,759 Speaker 1: him inside the five yard line for a touchdown, and 728 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 1: the defense really, you know, gave up sixteen points again. 729 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,360 Speaker 1: But but yeah, about dak as a tremendous effort. The 730 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 1: other thing is, too, you got to give credit again 731 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,400 Speaker 1: to the front office for going out and you know 732 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,560 Speaker 1: you traded a first round pick. But Amari Cooper is 733 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 1: as quarterback friendly as it gets. I mean, his route running, 734 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 1: he's he just seems like he's always in position to 735 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 1: make a play. And they capitalized again, Brian, like you said, 736 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:50,399 Speaker 1: on a depleted secondary for Philly, that's goodnytime. But we've 737 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,440 Speaker 1: seen him not do things like that a beat up 738 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 1: offensive line or a beat up secondary and all that. 739 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 1: They did a great job, everybody. Cole Beasley was open 740 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,360 Speaker 1: a bunch in this game too, by the way, go 741 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,319 Speaker 1: back and watch that tape. A matter of fact, on 742 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,919 Speaker 1: the touchdown he threw the twenty seven yard touchdown pass 743 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 1: he threw to Cooper, he could have thrown the ball 744 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,400 Speaker 1: to Cole Beasley on the on the pivot route and 745 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 1: it would have been a touchdown as well. There was 746 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:15,239 Speaker 1: nobody between Beasley Beasley ran some really good routes yesterday. Yeah, 747 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,439 Speaker 1: and I just gotta keep doing that. You gotta keep 748 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 1: doing that. All right, Let's go to Eric in Connecticut. 749 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 1: Your next up. I'm talking Cowboys. Hello, Eric, Hello, what 750 00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 1: really surprised me yesterday? And I want to talk about 751 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 1: something different because you guys, you guys already hit Dad, 752 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:35,800 Speaker 1: You're Hitmorry. I want to talk about the tight end 753 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:40,359 Speaker 1: made some amazing catchy like and and at Dak threw 754 00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 1: the ball where he had to the tight ends, but 755 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,720 Speaker 1: then they they caught the ball and actually did something 756 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:48,279 Speaker 1: with it. Yeah. I think that's a game, yes, for 757 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,879 Speaker 1: our tight ends that we could probably build on going 758 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 1: to the postseason, knowing that maybe we can get our 759 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,359 Speaker 1: tight ends into the game where I'm not sure when 760 00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 1: Swam moves back, but we can get our tight ends 761 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,320 Speaker 1: into game, especially with Jarman digit I mean, he looked 762 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,359 Speaker 1: amazing just the catches he made and he was able 763 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,719 Speaker 1: to go up field afterwards he caught the ball and 764 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,839 Speaker 1: then one upfield. It was really promising because I think 765 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,480 Speaker 1: that's a different threat that he hasn't really had this shit. 766 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,480 Speaker 1: And then I mean eleven for eleven, but they just 767 00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,760 Speaker 1: all three him had had a decent game with Jarmin 768 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 1: I think stood out above above all three to tight end. 769 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,759 Speaker 1: But that's what I wanted to hit on and see 770 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,840 Speaker 1: what you guys copingsa yeah, summing out party for Blake Jarwin. 771 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,400 Speaker 1: Seven catches, fifty six yards. It's amazing what a little 772 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 1: experience will do for a guy still drafting a tight end. 773 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, oh but still the guy hadn't 774 00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:44,319 Speaker 1: played and everybody expected him and Schultz right off the 775 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,839 Speaker 1: bat to be Jason Wooden and one's gonna happen. Well 776 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,319 Speaker 1: they I'll tell you what though. Those those guys did 777 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,760 Speaker 1: a nice job. There's no question about that. The plays 778 00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 1: that they were able to, the play that the ball 779 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,840 Speaker 1: that Schultz cut with them when they faked the toss 780 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,680 Speaker 1: go and when I love that play when he do 781 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:02,000 Speaker 1: that when they faked and he shows his hand and 782 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 1: then everything comes and it's the two level read and 783 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,320 Speaker 1: all that. I love it because I thought he was 784 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,759 Speaker 1: going to throw the ball underneath and Noah Brown, but 785 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 1: he threw it over the top because you know why, 786 00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 1: because Dalton Schultz ran a hell of her out to 787 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,400 Speaker 1: get open. But yeah, it's good to see those guys 788 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:19,760 Speaker 1: have some success. We've been been critical of the position, 789 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,040 Speaker 1: and you know the fact that they showed up in 790 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 1: an important game, I think, you know, like the caller says, 791 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,440 Speaker 1: hopefully that bodes well down the stretch that they can 792 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,120 Speaker 1: they can get some of those guys going, maybe get 793 00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:30,840 Speaker 1: some of these guys going in the red zone a 794 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,319 Speaker 1: little bit, or maybe the linebackers are stocked covering the 795 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 1: tight end. Yeah, instead of jamming the line of scrimmage. 796 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,440 Speaker 1: And by the way, this morning, Jason Garrett had a 797 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:43,879 Speaker 1: one word answer to question about the reports that you say, 798 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 1: no the Cowboys have reached out to Jason Witton about 799 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:51,080 Speaker 1: making a return. The one word answer was no. Did 800 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,239 Speaker 1: they follow up? No? No? Why not? Because that that 801 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:58,720 Speaker 1: no was a stopper. It was no where does schefter 802 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 1: get that stuff? Dalton Schultz got asked about it after 803 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,800 Speaker 1: the game. Did you guys do you guys see the reports? 804 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:06,720 Speaker 1: Did that kind of fire up something in your coffee 805 00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:11,200 Speaker 1: there this morning? You know this morning, old site. Oh, 806 00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,879 Speaker 1: I don't pay attention to that stuff. You know what 807 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:18,959 Speaker 1: though no one, no one asked or ascertained, uh when 808 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:25,000 Speaker 1: it happened? Like when because at the thirteenth week, if 809 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,839 Speaker 1: you come off or reserve, retired, gotta go through gotta 810 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 1: go through waivers. Yeah, so somebody could have said, oh no, 811 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,560 Speaker 1: I want him. Yeah. Now he could have said no, 812 00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:37,879 Speaker 1: I don't want to do it back exactly. Yeah right, yeah, 813 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,520 Speaker 1: nothing like a good old Sunday headline. That's right. That 814 00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,840 Speaker 1: was what happens on Sunday mornings. Gotta have a story. 815 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,800 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, nothing, not being critical. I'm just 816 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,600 Speaker 1: saying it's just this and stop. Did you guys want 817 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,839 Speaker 1: him back? Well, if you're the Cowboys, put you okay, 818 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:55,800 Speaker 1: I know it's not happening. But if you're the Cowboys 819 00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,839 Speaker 1: at that time, you know, would you have wanted him back? 820 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:02,640 Speaker 1: But my question would be taking Yeah, how long would 821 00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,160 Speaker 1: it take for him to get into football shape?

I just want to say, 929 00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,000 Speaker 1: I just want to say, of course Mickey's right. I've 930 00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,680 Speaker 1: been agreeing with Mickey the whole year, way back to 931 00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,320 Speaker 1: goes back to the beginning when I was saying, where's 932 00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:19,360 Speaker 1: Doug free? Because the offensive arms thinks something something we 933 00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:21,560 Speaker 1: thought we'd never say. Yea, And I thought we were 934 00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:25,360 Speaker 1: turning back into David Carr because he was being sacked 935 00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:28,279 Speaker 1: so much. But the team is growing, they're doing great 936 00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:31,080 Speaker 1: for all this. You've got great analysis. This is this 937 00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,120 Speaker 1: is a wonderful victory. You've been right on, Michael Gallup. 938 00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:35,799 Speaker 1: If we could just put a little bit of air 939 00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 1: under the ball, right, we'd really have a super explosive offense. 940 00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:42,400 Speaker 1: And I think Connor did a good job coming in. 941 00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:45,719 Speaker 1: It's still young, not as strong as a real man. 942 00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:49,640 Speaker 1: He's just a young guy. But they're really growing. If 943 00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,600 Speaker 1: Zach is okay, we're gonna be fine. Yeah, all right, 944 00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,640 Speaker 1: all right, thank you, Lloyd Mark fan right there, all right, 945 00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,839 Speaker 1: something to watch coming out of the Zach Martin. Yeah, 946 00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:04,239 Speaker 1: it sounds like it's ah. They were saying, the preliminary indication, 947 00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:08,520 Speaker 1: it's similar to the previous injury. But what are y'all hearing? Yeah, 948 00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:12,279 Speaker 1: and you know all those MCLs. You gotta let him rest. Yeah, 949 00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:14,719 Speaker 1: he hasn't let it rest. There's no time to rest. 950 00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:16,960 Speaker 1: And I don't I don't know if you say, hey, 951 00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:20,120 Speaker 1: can we get by one more game and let him 952 00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:23,600 Speaker 1: have two weeks because when you sprain your MCL it's 953 00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:27,600 Speaker 1: two to four doing nothing and sometimes four to six. 954 00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:31,919 Speaker 1: Can I be real selfish here? He's from Indianapolis, right, Yeah, 955 00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:34,600 Speaker 1: it's from l You're probably right, go in there, play 956 00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:36,839 Speaker 1: win this game and then sit him the last two 957 00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,320 Speaker 1: if you can't. You know what I'm saying, strap that 958 00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,719 Speaker 1: brace on just yeah, just you know, I mean, he's 959 00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:44,080 Speaker 1: gonna be tough. He's gonna want to practice. You know, 960 00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:47,399 Speaker 1: he's from Indianapolis. You know you look at their there. 961 00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:49,880 Speaker 1: They've got an all pro guard there too as a rookie. 962 00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:53,640 Speaker 1: You know he Notre Dame, Notre Dame guy too. You 963 00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:56,480 Speaker 1: know he's been tough all year. I mean, Zach has 964 00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:58,960 Speaker 1: been tough. If you could find a way to win 965 00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:02,720 Speaker 1: this game, yeah, I and then and then turn around 966 00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,440 Speaker 1: and say, okay, we're gonna give you two weeks before 967 00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:09,120 Speaker 1: you have to play back at home against Minnesota or 968 00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:12,440 Speaker 1: Seattle or whoever. You know, actually by time you play 969 00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:15,680 Speaker 1: it would be three weeks. I just wonder, Yeah, some point, 970 00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:17,759 Speaker 1: does he need to sit down for a week. And 971 00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,200 Speaker 1: I know they had the bye week because he heard 972 00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:23,040 Speaker 1: it against Philadelphia and they had kind of a mini 973 00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,719 Speaker 1: buy for him to rest it. And it's just he's 974 00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:27,560 Speaker 1: been continuing to fight with this thing, and this time 975 00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:29,320 Speaker 1: he didn't return to the game. You know, he returned 976 00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:31,640 Speaker 1: to the game the first time in Philly after plays. 977 00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,000 Speaker 1: I think, yeah, and there, I mean, we'll see. He's 978 00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,600 Speaker 1: as tough as it comes physically and mentally. I just 979 00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:38,440 Speaker 1: think he's gonna want to line up and play in 980 00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:41,920 Speaker 1: this game. Sure, that's his hometown. Did they take Tyrn's 981 00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:45,239 Speaker 1: elbow brace and put her down his d That was 982 00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:49,440 Speaker 1: some talk about Fish has some BS calls on those holdings. Yeah, 983 00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:52,600 Speaker 1: that's some that's some crap. You know, I just hate that. 984 00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:55,680 Speaker 1: Throw your hands up in the air and get some attention. Yeah, 985 00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:57,800 Speaker 1: oh I'm being held. I can't get away. No, the 986 00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:01,600 Speaker 1: reason you can't get away because he locked you're yeah, exactly. 987 00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:04,600 Speaker 1: But he's always had trouble with Brandon Graham. Brandon Graham's 988 00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:06,880 Speaker 1: a good player against him, you know, it's like him 989 00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:10,840 Speaker 1: and Olivier Vernon pass rushing. Yeah, those kind of smaller 990 00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:14,680 Speaker 1: kind of yeah, your leverage players. Yeah right, yeah, but 991 00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:19,239 Speaker 1: he's the caller was right about about Connor Williams being ready. 992 00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:22,719 Speaker 1: It wasn't pretty. Garrett's gonna say that today. A couple 993 00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:24,200 Speaker 1: of times he looked like he was in a you know, 994 00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:26,840 Speaker 1: in a revolving door, kind of getting knocked around a 995 00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,040 Speaker 1: little bit. But you know, for him to come in 996 00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,560 Speaker 1: and play, he hadn't played right guard all year. Yeah, 997 00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:34,040 Speaker 1: so how big of a change is that for Well, 998 00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:36,320 Speaker 1: it's just a line of sight, you know, and he 999 00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:39,319 Speaker 1: hadn't worked with He hadn't worked with Collins very much. 1000 00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:41,400 Speaker 1: You know, you have to be able to pass some 1001 00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:45,360 Speaker 1: stunts and twists and make calls and communication back and forth. So, 1002 00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:48,359 Speaker 1: you know, good job by him being ready to play. 1003 00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,600 Speaker 1: You know, it could have been a bad situation, but 1004 00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:52,680 Speaker 1: they didn't really miss a beat. You know, they were 1005 00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:55,200 Speaker 1: able to get the get the win with him playing 1006 00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:58,839 Speaker 1: in the game, especially with Zach Martin's issue with his knee. 1007 00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:01,520 Speaker 1: You would assume, though, in practice, that Williams has been 1008 00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:04,480 Speaker 1: getting some work in practice at yea, he has, he has. 1009 00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:06,799 Speaker 1: That's the swing guy. He has been the swing guy. 1010 00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:08,840 Speaker 1: He plays both the left and the right side. That 1011 00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:10,840 Speaker 1: not a whole heck of a lot, but you know, 1012 00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:14,800 Speaker 1: primarily been that left side guy. Yeah, and not not 1013 00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:18,840 Speaker 1: a very easy assignment against that Eagle's front either, No, especially, 1014 00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:21,160 Speaker 1: I mean they can put a brace on your knee 1015 00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:24,560 Speaker 1: still sprained, yeah, you know, a de brace doesn't fix 1016 00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:29,120 Speaker 1: it right. Defensively, what what was the biggest thing that 1017 00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:32,239 Speaker 1: stood out defensively for the Cowboys in that game? They 1018 00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:34,160 Speaker 1: were able to take zach ERNs out of this game? 1019 00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:37,400 Speaker 1: You know it? And it was Byron Jones. I mean 1020 00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:39,960 Speaker 1: I counted up at the the receptions that went or 1021 00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:44,040 Speaker 1: the balls that went towards went to towards zach Ernz 1022 00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:46,960 Speaker 1: He had uh, he had Jeff Heath on him three times. 1023 00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:50,440 Speaker 1: They played zone against him three times. Mickey and then 1024 00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:54,200 Speaker 1: Byron Jones and and Anthony Brown each had him one time. 1025 00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:58,080 Speaker 1: So that was it. Vandersch had him one time. Now, 1026 00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:00,680 Speaker 1: that was that was just it was made in between 1027 00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:02,560 Speaker 1: the tax that was one of the zones. Yeah, that 1028 00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,600 Speaker 1: was one of the zone called yeah, the zones because 1029 00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:08,319 Speaker 1: he slipped right, Yeah, that's that's you know other than 1030 00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:10,799 Speaker 1: that first really that first first down he converted though, 1031 00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:13,200 Speaker 1: that was some really really good That was a zone 1032 00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:15,840 Speaker 1: play too, But that was some great coverage, great coverage 1033 00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,560 Speaker 1: by I could say Byron Jones and go back and 1034 00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:20,520 Speaker 1: count them all the times that he was on and 1035 00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,520 Speaker 1: by himself not but that those of the adjustments you 1036 00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:26,279 Speaker 1: have to make. You know, that's smart. That's hey, that 1037 00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:30,480 Speaker 1: guy is comfortable covering that guy. He's played against that guy. 1038 00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:33,120 Speaker 1: That's a that's a huge advantage right there, when you 1039 00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:35,200 Speaker 1: played against the guy and you've had some success and 1040 00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:37,239 Speaker 1: it's a little bit easier for those coaches say, okay, 1041 00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:39,080 Speaker 1: listen this down and distance, you're gonna walk over there 1042 00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:41,200 Speaker 1: and take this guy. First two years as a safety, 1043 00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:43,360 Speaker 1: it was Byron go get that tight end. Yeah, he 1044 00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:45,120 Speaker 1: faced a lot of good ones and it used to 1045 00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,479 Speaker 1: be witting in practice exactly. You know what they didn't 1046 00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:51,640 Speaker 1: get diminishing returns, moving him inside, no thought Anthony Brown, Yeah, 1047 00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:53,759 Speaker 1: Anthony Brown was should tell you know what if that 1048 00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:57,400 Speaker 1: defensive front keeps making quarterbacks uncomfortable, yeah, it makes it 1049 00:52:57,440 --> 00:52:59,440 Speaker 1: a lot easier. And I you know, I know they 1050 00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,720 Speaker 1: only sat backed him twice should have been three times 1051 00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:06,640 Speaker 1: with Gregory, but they were making him uncomfortable in the 1052 00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:10,680 Speaker 1: pocket and all his little hocus pocus stuff handling the football. Yeah, 1053 00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:14,560 Speaker 1: they shut that down. Tyrone Crawford comes up with a 1054 00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:18,399 Speaker 1: takeaway strip sack. He continues, I don't think he gets 1055 00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:20,640 Speaker 1: enough credit for what he does for this defense, just 1056 00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:24,160 Speaker 1: being that chess piece, the butcher moving. Is that his nickname? Yeah, 1057 00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:27,200 Speaker 1: butcher for Marinelli. Yeah, just whatever this defensive line needs, 1058 00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:29,560 Speaker 1: because the butcher comes to work every day. If you 1059 00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:31,560 Speaker 1: go if you go back and you talk about what 1060 00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:33,760 Speaker 1: the defensive line does, and then you know, if you remember, 1061 00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:36,279 Speaker 1: I was just looking through my notes again. They throw 1062 00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:38,880 Speaker 1: a ball to Ernst on third and nine. I believe 1063 00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:41,160 Speaker 1: it was with Byron Jones and coverage, and it goes 1064 00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:43,879 Speaker 1: it's the balls too high. But DeMarcus Lawrence got such 1065 00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:46,920 Speaker 1: a push on Lane Johnson and I and Lane Johnson 1066 00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:51,160 Speaker 1: just can't Howard handle power. And Lawrence caught him with 1067 00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:53,359 Speaker 1: his foot. He was he saw on him so quick 1068 00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:54,680 Speaker 1: that he caught him with his foot in the air. 1069 00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:56,800 Speaker 1: So he was really a one legged football player. And 1070 00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:59,680 Speaker 1: Lawrence just shoves him with his right hand and now 1071 00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:02,239 Speaker 1: he's you know, now Johnson's out of balance, and then 1072 00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:05,200 Speaker 1: you know you got Lawrence on top, and now the 1073 00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:08,479 Speaker 1: ball's going too high. I mean, Wentz has to climb 1074 00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:10,600 Speaker 1: the front of the pocket. There the defenders right there 1075 00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:13,640 Speaker 1: in his face. So yeah, I mean you continue to 1076 00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:16,680 Speaker 1: get pressure and you continue to get coverage, you're gonna 1077 00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:18,120 Speaker 1: find ways to get off the field. And that's what 1078 00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:21,000 Speaker 1: they've been able to do, and especially stopping the run. Yeah, 1079 00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:23,960 Speaker 1: they had thirty four yards rushing and their leading ball 1080 00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:28,399 Speaker 1: carrier was Adams with thirty six and he had one 1081 00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:31,480 Speaker 1: run of total four. Yeah, go do the math on Yeah. Yeah, 1082 00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:33,040 Speaker 1: I really thought they were going to shut him out. 1083 00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:36,200 Speaker 1: I really did. The way the momentum they had until 1084 00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:39,360 Speaker 1: Dak threw the pick they got returned. I think inside 1085 00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:42,839 Speaker 1: the five they couldn't do anything. They couldn't get any 1086 00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:46,200 Speaker 1: momentum offensively, Philly. I mean it kind of turned late, 1087 00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:49,959 Speaker 1: but again this defense continues to play overall really strong. 1088 00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:54,200 Speaker 1: All right, Mike in New York, you're on talking Cowboys. Hello, Mike, 1089 00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:56,600 Speaker 1: what's out? Guys? Was my first time gone, but I've 1090 00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:58,279 Speaker 1: done on some to you guys for a very long time. 1091 00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,439 Speaker 1: My name guys, you know, talk about this all the week. 1092 00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:03,279 Speaker 1: I don't think we struggled so much in the like 1093 00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:05,360 Speaker 1: in the red zone. I mean, I just like we 1094 00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:07,719 Speaker 1: moved the ball on anybody. But it's like Brian, he's 1095 00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:09,400 Speaker 1: been talking this for a while, and it's just like 1096 00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:12,839 Speaker 1: I don't understand, like why we struggled so much. I mean, 1097 00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,239 Speaker 1: is it? I mean, I mean, is it? I don't 1098 00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:18,560 Speaker 1: know if it's just one thing. I mean, like, I 1099 00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:20,600 Speaker 1: know we used to pound the rock, but it's just 1100 00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:23,800 Speaker 1: like I don't understand, Well, it's not so much the 1101 00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:27,600 Speaker 1: red zone, it's goal, the goal they were oversight again. 1102 00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:30,239 Speaker 1: Let me ask you this first again. Is it the 1103 00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:33,680 Speaker 1: first play? Is it the first play that kind of 1104 00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:37,319 Speaker 1: sets up the problems? I mean, I mean, I mean 1105 00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:42,200 Speaker 1: that you're not having a positive first play. Am I 1106 00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:48,120 Speaker 1: talking about a sack? But maybe it no gain? Maybe yea? 1107 00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:50,680 Speaker 1: Is it? Is it? Is it something that gets them 1108 00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:54,879 Speaker 1: so off balance? Then you're always trying to catch up. Yeah, 1109 00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:56,920 Speaker 1: and then you're trying to kind of create plays to 1110 00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,279 Speaker 1: make it work. Yeah. I don't. I have no problem 1111 00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:01,120 Speaker 1: with them getting out the red zone and just throwing 1112 00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:04,799 Speaker 1: twenty seven yard touchdown passes to Mark Cooper all day. 1113 00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:07,080 Speaker 1: If that's what really wanted. But is it the first play? 1114 00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:10,600 Speaker 1: We are we kind of seeing things that Okay, if 1115 00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:13,279 Speaker 1: they if they if it knocks them for no game 1116 00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:16,840 Speaker 1: and out second end goal, or it's you know, they 1117 00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:21,920 Speaker 1: tried to read option, which everybody's like, everybody's like going, oh, 1118 00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:24,200 Speaker 1: they needed more read option down there there, hand it 1119 00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:26,600 Speaker 1: to Zeke read option. You know, well, they do get 1120 00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:29,960 Speaker 1: minus four, like Bill says, five minus five on the 1121 00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:32,880 Speaker 1: first one, okay. And then the second time, which was 1122 00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:37,160 Speaker 1: a third quarter, it was the incompletion to Beasley, right, okay, yeah, 1123 00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:40,520 Speaker 1: and then on the second play, Jarwin came across Zeke 1124 00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:43,040 Speaker 1: and then and they maybe even bumped a little bit right, 1125 00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:45,880 Speaker 1: that was kind of screwed up right starting blocking wise, 1126 00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,759 Speaker 1: And I guess maybe the speed option was right after that. 1127 00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,440 Speaker 1: I don't remembers DAK plus zero. I don't remember what 1128 00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:54,240 Speaker 1: I see. That's I wonder if it's just that first play, 1129 00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:57,480 Speaker 1: and now Lenahan's kind of like, ah, damn it, you know, 1130 00:56:57,520 --> 00:56:59,840 Speaker 1: and he's got to you know, figure something out, and 1131 00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:03,000 Speaker 1: it's not and then you know, then you don't get guys. Execute. 1132 00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:04,880 Speaker 1: I mean that to me is a big thing. I 1133 00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:08,760 Speaker 1: think ex down there, Execution is huge, and they've missed 1134 00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:11,680 Speaker 1: open receivers, missed open in the end zone because you'll 1135 00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:13,560 Speaker 1: see you watch it. I mean, teams are loading up 1136 00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:15,759 Speaker 1: against Zeke in those goal of goal situations and it's 1137 00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:17,960 Speaker 1: almost like, well, we've got to pass. I mean, you 1138 00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:21,000 Speaker 1: can say, don't be pass happy handed to your best player, 1139 00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:23,880 Speaker 1: but it maybe in some situations it's kind of like 1140 00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,120 Speaker 1: a brick wall thing where all right, we've got a 1141 00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:28,200 Speaker 1: matchup on the elbe I need to go look at that. 1142 00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:29,760 Speaker 1: I need to go back and look at all the 1143 00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:33,440 Speaker 1: starting you know, starting plays of and chart that and 1144 00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:36,360 Speaker 1: see what the issues are that you have negative plays. 1145 00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:39,280 Speaker 1: And for the second time, it was first in goal 1146 00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:41,520 Speaker 1: to five and they threw the little out pass to 1147 00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:45,720 Speaker 1: Beasley's smoke. Yeah, and it was it was a one 1148 00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:49,160 Speaker 1: yard game. Yeah. And then Zeke up the middle for 1149 00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:56,040 Speaker 1: two yeah. And then he went to that kept the ball. Yeah. 1150 00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:58,760 Speaker 1: They tried to quarterback draw. That's what it was. Quarterback draw. 1151 00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:01,160 Speaker 1: That's quarterback draw. I remember it now. Now in overtime 1152 00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:02,440 Speaker 1: you get in the red zone. Was that it was 1153 00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:04,720 Speaker 1: that a read option with Dak before the couple of 1154 00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:07,640 Speaker 1: plays before the touchdown in overtime got a six yard 1155 00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:11,360 Speaker 1: gain from the eighteen No, yes, yes, oh yeah, yeah, 1156 00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:13,600 Speaker 1: yeah it was. It's a weapon in the red zone. 1157 00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:16,440 Speaker 1: They've had six some success with that. Um. I just 1158 00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:19,120 Speaker 1: just doesn't seem I think they have a good first play, 1159 00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:24,960 Speaker 1: you know, whether execution, whether it's mental mistake, sack what 1160 00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:26,720 Speaker 1: I mean, it just seems like they have they have 1161 00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:29,080 Speaker 1: issues down there that with those throws. And if you 1162 00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:31,800 Speaker 1: if you learn place what happened in overtime, I mean 1163 00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:35,720 Speaker 1: they overcame a holding call. Oh yeah, they went from 1164 00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:39,439 Speaker 1: second and nine to second and nineteen. Yeah, fifty, yeah, 1165 00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:45,240 Speaker 1: hit Cooper first down. Yeah, that converted third and third 1166 00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:47,920 Speaker 1: and nine then converted. Yeah. Nate and I were like, 1167 00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:50,560 Speaker 1: just get half, Nate goes, just get half here, Just 1168 00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:53,480 Speaker 1: get half. You know again, that's no one that the 1169 00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:57,280 Speaker 1: Eagles can't play past defense. That's that's that's feeling like, 1170 00:58:57,440 --> 00:58:59,400 Speaker 1: you know what, Okay, just get half and we'll get 1171 00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:03,320 Speaker 1: the other half here on this play. So yeah, great 1172 00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:06,040 Speaker 1: win though. Gosh, yes, it was five in a row. 1173 00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:08,600 Speaker 1: They're bill they're on their way to twelve in a row. 1174 00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:12,600 Speaker 1: That's right. I called it when there were three and five. 1175 00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:15,480 Speaker 1: We're gonna we're gonna chart this all the way to 1176 00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:19,320 Speaker 1: Atlanta and the super Bowl.
