WEBVTT - Talkin' Cowboys: Gimme Five 0:00:02.759 --> 0:00:05.320 The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:05.360 --> 0:00:17.120 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This He's Talking Cowboys, 0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:20.520 screening live from the Dallas Cowboys World Hours at the 0:00:20.600 --> 0:00:31.720 Star in Frisco. Here are Mickey Spagnola, Brian brought Us, 0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:38.320 Rob Phillips, and Bill Jones, and it is another victory 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:43.360 Monday edition of Talking Cowboys here at the Star in Frisco. 0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:46.320 There is no Mickey Spagnola to start off the show, 0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:50.280 so we will lay the foundation for this show without 0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:53.400 Mickey as he does other things. Right now, I am 0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:56.160 Bill Jones along with Brian brought Us and Rob Phillips, 0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:59.840 as the Cowboys now are on the brink of clinching 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:04.080 the NFC East after a sinilating twenty nine twenty three 0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:08.200 overtime win over their chief rivals for the NFC East 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:12.040 crown as it turns out, the Philadelphia Eagles, and it 0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:14.960 takes as a win over the Indianapolis Coats on Sunday 0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:17.959 in India and the Cowboys win the NFC East. They 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:21.080 can do it otherwise too, but we focus on what 0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:25.480 happened on Sunday, and wow, what happened on Sunday? How 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:30.640 about that Rob Phillips. How about that? How about how 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:35.039 about Dak Prescott? You know the mental toughness that that 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:38.840 young guy has three turnovers and this team's record is 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:40.800 not very good when he turns the ball over more 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:44.080 than once, two picks, a lost fumble which I think 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:47.120 was his six of the season, and to come back 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:49.840 and do what he did. Amari Cooper helps this offense. 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:51.520 I think we know that pretty well. I think we 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:54.400 figure that out. But I think your starting quarterback showed 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:58.440 you something again. And really what they did in the 0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:03.480 fourth quarter in overtime asked overall another good strong defensive effort. 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:05.160 You know, I think I think when you look back 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:07.200 at it, it was a complete victory by this team, 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:10.400 but it was the theatrics offensively at the end that 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.080 kind of stole the story. Four hundred and fifty five 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:17.240 yards passing for Prescott that ties Troy Aikman for third 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:20.000 on the Cowboys all time list. Tony Romo had five 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:23.840 hundred six against Peyton, Manning and Denver five years ago 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:27.040 and a loss. Yeah, Dandy Don Meredith had four hundred 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:30.959 and sixty yards in a loss. Aikman had four fifty 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:33.040 five in a loss. It's the first time. It's the 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:35.800 most passing yards for a Cowboys quarterback ever in a 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:39.680 win and the most completions ever for a Cowboys quarterback 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:43.320 in a game with forty two. Pretty amazing. The way 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:46.960 that this game was, it was really a roller coaster 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.560 ride for everybody along. You know, if you look at 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:52.840 kind of a tale of two halves for the defense 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.160 being as dominant as they were in the first half, 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:58.520 and then turn around in the second half, you know, 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:01.080 a little bit some struggles there, got a stop or two, 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:04.080 but overall you start seeing the Eagles were doing some 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:07.880 things better. But yeah, offensively with Prescott, you know, this 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:11.799 was a game I felt like that the that the 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:14.359 Eagles staff gets a lot of credit for how good 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:16.560 of a coaching staff they are. I think that Dallas 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:19.680 Cowboys coach has out coached the Eagles yesterday in this 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:22.480 football game. And I think it's other than the secondaries, 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:25.280 I think it was really two pretty evenly matched teams playing. 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:29.160 But the difference makers were in this case where I 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:32.520 feel like that with what Chris Rochard and Rod Marinoli 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:34.359 were able to do on defense, Scotland a hand what 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:36.400 he did in offense, and then Jason Garrett having the 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:38.920 guts to go for it down there. I've always been 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.440 very critical of Jason Garrett of not knowing the condition 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:44.000 of his team, and you know, he saw things that 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:46.840 were happening in the second half to his defense, and 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:49.040 he felt like that he had to go win that game, 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:52.680 and he put it on his players. The players responded, 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.360 and that's what you have to do as a coach. 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:58.040 You have to put your team. He talks about putting 0:03:58.040 --> 0:03:59.880 his team in the best position to win, and he 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:02.320 did that. And so I have to give him a 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:04.960 tip of the cap because you know, it had been 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:08.080 very easily for him to kick that fuel goal and 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:10.560 then say, okay, let's see if we can play defense here. 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:13.360 You know, but in the second half we'd seen some 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:16.000 a little bit of some slippage going on there too. 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:19.640 So for him to put it on Dak Prescott this 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:22.760 offense to go win that game, I think says a 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.600 lot about the coach, but it also says about the 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:27.559 players he has in that locker room and those guys 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:29.919 on the field. It was a lot like the first 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:32.960 matchup in Philly in terms of, you know, the Cowboys 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:35.559 earlier late in the first half had a six nothing 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:38.440 lead on the Eagles. It was thirteen three at the half, 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:41.160 and then when you came down the stretch of that game, 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.680 it was back and forth. One team scores, the other 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:46.120 team scores. It was just like this game, but the 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:49.280 only difference being that time the Cowboys got a stop 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:52.279 on the Eagles late in the game. This time they 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:54.240 had to go to overtime and went on offense. The 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:56.599 most exciting thing about the first half was a sixty 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:58.160 two yard field goal, which, by the way, it was 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:01.039 a half, was a franchise record by maher atoning for 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.320 amiss that he had earlier. So, yeah, Brian's right tail 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:05.599 two has and I think you asked us, Yeah, I 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:08.960 did twenty four twenty four. No, I appreciate you mentioned 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:11.800 in that on the post game on the OT because 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.000 you were saying, I don't think you were here, Bill, 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:15.719 but I asked Mickey and Rob oh I was here 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:18.039 when we were seemed to twenty four. But no, No, 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:19.919 it was we're talking about what team would go forth 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.000 the most. I worked down I got you you know 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:24.240 which coach would decide to go for it the most 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.359 on fourth down? And you know, luckily your coach was 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:29.400 the one that made the right decision there to go 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.039 for it. I mean, they went forward on fourth down 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:34.960 and got a conversion with Sproles in the flat. But 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:36.960 you know your coach went forward at the end when 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:39.360 he when he absolutely you know, I thought, like I say, 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:41.200 I was a gutsy call to do it that way, 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:43.520 but he did what he had to do to win 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:45.440 the football game. Well, the other thing that you asked 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:48.800 last week was can this team get to twenty four points? 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:50.599 And it takes twenty four points to win the game. 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:53.240 And sure enough, yeah it. First team to twenty four 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:56.080 won that game. Hello, Mickey, Like twenty four twenty three 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:58.400 that I predicted. I guess I should have gone twenty 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:02.440 three twenty three. Huh then yep, and then exclude overtime. 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:07.400 So the head coach on fourth and one realized his 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:11.200 team had gained five hundred and fifty seven yards at 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:13.799 that point. I don't know that it was that gutsy. 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:18.920 I think he looked at what his team was doing 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:23.760 on the field. They were gaining yards in gobs and 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:27.120 to go for one yard, yeah, go for it. I'd 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.760 put the game away. I was not surprised at all, 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:31.840 I mean either, And as he said, We've got the 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:34.560 best runner, in our opinion, in the National Football League. 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:37.159 So gutsy from the standpoint, if he does not get 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:40.200 that first down, though, what is he looking at? A tie? 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.039 Probably probably see the guy came during that time out 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:45.240 I started doing the map. Okay, what does a tide 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:47.880 down this? I mean, gutsy from the fact that that 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:50.800 he could have kicked that field goal? He very well 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:54.240 could you know that? That's that to me? Is you 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:56.640 know there was really no givens. I mean you're talking 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:58.440 about gobs of yards and all of a sudden, you're 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:01.000 also talking about tons of mistakes. How about the snap 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:03.960 that was low? Sure, trying to get the game, trying 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.359 to win the game. You know, guy can't win. He 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:09.240 can't win. Well, he doesn't go for it and he 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.920 gets beat up. He goes for it and people are 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:13.920 beating him up, like what are you doing? No, I'm 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:15.720 not beating him up at all. Given a lot of 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:18.120 people are giving him credit for, you know, giving him 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:20.600 credit for what he did. I think he saw what 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:25.080 his team was doing that Houston game. They were tackled 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:29.200 for losses. They were getting tackles for zero yards all 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:32.360 up and down the field. Zeke this one five hundred 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:34.960 and fifty seven yards to that point, well, and yeah, 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:38.040 but to the point of what play you're gonna call Zeke? Now, 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:41.040 in both cases Zeke got stopped for no game to 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:44.600 play before. But the difference this time, aside from the 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:48.840 field position, the difference this time is that Zeke had 0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:50.960 one hundred and thirteen yards rushing in this game and 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:53.120 that game he had twenty carries for fifty four yards, 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.920 and there was no evidence whatsoever that they could get 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.800 a yard against that Houston defense on that night. Now, 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:00.880 if they played Houston, now maybe they would be able 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:03.200 to who knows, but uh and then from a field 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:07.280 position standpoint, uh, he You know, in the Houston game, 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:10.600 the idea was you're punting them down the field, you know. 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:13.360 I think also, you know, the rules with the overtime 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:15.280 are different this year, with the ten minute, with the 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:18.960 ten eight minutes and tence. I think it'll take and 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:22.680 I think it's it's taking coaches, including Garrett time to 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:26.920 realize how how the overtime rules are different because of 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:29.080 the limited amount of time and you're probably only going 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:31.160 to get one possession and they weren't going to get 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:34.120 the ball back kick a field goal right right, Well now, 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:36.360 but if you look at that Houston game too. Now, 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:39.520 in hindsight, now that we know how quickly the ten 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:42.319 minutes goes at an overtime period, they weren't getting the 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:44.840 ball back to do anything with it in that Houston 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:46.800 game either. That's the other thing. I think he may 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:48.640 have done it and made a different decision now that 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:52.400 we figured out the Yeah, well you he could. He 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:54.760 could have still gone with the conservative route though, kick 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:56.840 the field goal and say, okay, they've got less by 0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:58.719 two minutes, yet less than two minutes to be down 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:00.520 the field and score touchdown. How they went for it 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:03.360 fourth and one with four minutes to go? Now he's 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:07.160 talking about yesterday. Yesterday. Yeah, I'm sa minutes to go 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:10.480 when they went for it. Okay, that's true, He's okay, 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:13.280 so they would have had under five minutes. Still, I 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:17.719 mean with those rules. You know again, you guys are right. 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:20.800 He knew the condition of his football team. I talked 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:22.720 about it during the week. This is an Eagles team 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:24.839 that has been leaking yardage. They had a good game 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:28.000 against Washington. We know what Washington is right now. The 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.800 three games before that, Philly had allowed four hundred plus yards. 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:32.800 Now they give up a five spot in this game. 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:35.199 But you know, yeah, you know, a better team won 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.800 this game. I mean yeah, doubled them up on first downs. 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:39.959 The Eagles were one of nine on third down. It 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.560 was another ass kicking. Didn't show it up on the scoreboard. 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.240 Doubled them up on Yeah, on time of possession. The 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:47.480 better team won this game. Okay, here's the other thing 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:50.280 on the way I've seen Garrett now, and this is 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:53.640 the third time in five years he's had a playoff 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.880 bound team, a team that is good enough to make 0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:00.160 the playoffs. It seems to me like in those other 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.720 years twenty fourteen and twenty sixteen and now this year 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:07.160 when he gets to December, November, December, in these when 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:10.640 he's got good teams, he's a he goes for it 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:12.680 more on fourth down than what he does when he 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:16.040 has a bad team. He gets knocked for not being 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.960 aggressive enough. I think he's a lot more aggressive when 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:21.160 he has a good team than when he has a 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:24.440 bad team. Especially, that's just what i've five hundred yards 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:26.000 and if you didn't pick it up, they get the 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:28.800 ball at the nineteen that Houston game, they would have 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:30.880 given him the ball at the forty five. You know, 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:33.120 I don't know how calculated all of our decisions are. 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:40.160 Kit Garrison with gold Yeah, No, it's just was well played. 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:41.640 I mean, they did what they had to do to 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:43.720 win that football game. And you know the fact that 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:47.319 they took eight minutes off the clock and over time 0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:50.360 gave him that opportunity to do that. I was thinking, 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:52.200 how they were gonna just keep running the ball and 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:55.320 just run the clock completely out and just try That's 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:58.439 that's what I was thinking of. Essentially, they gonna get 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:01.240 a shot at this Philly and they if Philly didn't 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:04.600 make the play to stop Zeke for the three yard loss, right, 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:07.080 they probably would have wound up doing that. Yeah no, no, 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:08.760 I mean that would that would have been a perfect 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:10.880 way to play this game. But then again, you're putting 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:14.679 in a field goal kickers. He trust him? Sixty two? 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:18.480 Maybe not forty five? Sixty two? You got nothing to lose, right, 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:21.000 that's my point, right, Yeah, yeah, But if you ran 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:22.480 it all the way down, you're able to get the 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:25.080 first down, and now you're kicking a twenty yard field 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:27.120 goal to win it, do you trust him? Then? See 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:29.920 that's when I'm yeah, that's you know, that's open for debate. 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.520 I mean, that's seriously, is open for debate. Is that 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.000 something that is gonna is gonna haunch you down the 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:38.120 stretch when you play in these games? Yeah? You know 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:40.720 the thought, Yeah, I made a sixty two yard field goal. 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:43.120 Mickey's right, you got nothing to lose there, go ahead 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:45.880 unless he gets blocked or it's short and they and 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:47.480 they have a guy back there and they you know, 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.240 get an Alabama Auburn situation where they're running the ball 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:52.760 back on you up the field. But you know, no, 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:56.079 I mean, I to me, I think it's I think 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:58.559 it's open for debate. Was he an eighty percent kicker? 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:02.520 Right now? I don't. Is his numbers right at eighty percent? 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:05.760 Near eighty percent? You know, I'm sorry I didn't beyond 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:09.679 forty yards when he missed. Um, I'm just overall, just 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:12.120 gonna be overall. Is he is he even for? Is 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:15.440 he even eighty percent? I did well, he did come 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:16.959 back and make a twenty one yard or I did 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:20.559 look this up. Yeah, he had made nine straight before 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:23.559 that kicking. Okay, missed the kick against Philly and then 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:26.199 it perfect sense. Then I don't know his exact same 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:29.839 said he was, I want to say the broadcast said 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:33.000 he was eleven or fifteen from forty yards and the 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:36.520 forty yard range was okay to say, well something you know, 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:40.520 you hope I mean again winning the Great deodorant. But 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:43.480 is that something that we need to look at, you know, 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:47.120 much like we're critical of the sacks and things like 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:49.440 that that happened in the game or dack in the pocket, 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:51.600 fumble in the ball or whatever. I mean, is the 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:54.840 field goal kicking here something as you get into playoffs 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:56.960 that you want to say, Oh, well, yeah, I feel 0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:00.120 just you know, I feel wonderful about that. I don't know, 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:02.200 I don't know. I don't think we're necessarily I know, 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:05.400 I don't you know, Yeah, I mean I don't always 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:07.480 want to put it in on his foot. Okay, why 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:11.880 doesn't Pro Football Reference and it is eighty four percent 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:15.480 and it's eleventh from fifteen from forty plus right before 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:20.040 its twenty seven for thirty two on the season. Yeah, okay, right, 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:22.440 maybe that's better than you know, It's just it's just 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:26.200 thirty two. I don't know, I now woiled well spoiled 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:28.720 or like, yeah, I mean I sit there and you know, 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:30.800 I would hope that my kicker can make one from 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:33.080 forty five yards. I'm not expect him to make it 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:35.720 from sixty two, but I'm hopefully he can make it 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:38.040 from forty five. And what he is from forty to 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:42.280 forty ninety seven? For ten Beyond fifty, he's five for six. Yeah, 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:45.040 there you go. Beyond sixty, he's won for one. Yes, 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.720 he is. That's so weird, just like from the third 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:51.320 longest field goal in NFL history matches the third longest, Yeah, 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:53.679 I mean he's sixty three and sixty four or the longest. 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:55.280 We know. He's got a strong leg. He kicked a 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.640 fifty seven yard or in the preseason finale, which kind 0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.280 of set him the job bought. Yeah, And but he 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:02.560 told us after the game he doesn't even try sixty 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:04.800 two in pre game with a full operation. They go 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:07.560 about fifty eight and that's it. So I'm surprised he 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:10.040 didn't try for a Hail Mary there. Yeah, I thought 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:12.560 he was too where the positioning was. But hey, you know, 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:14.640 good for him if you know, if you walk over 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:16.719 to the kicker or to you know, walk over to 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:18.680 Keith though Quinn and say, hey, what's his range today? 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:22.560 All right sixty two, coach, were good, Okay, let's try 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:25.320 this one here. You know, that's that's one of those ones. Again, 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:27.800 give him some credit. That's a gut call. I mean 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:29.520 he could have he could have thrown a hill mary 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:32.200 there and not got any points or you know, yeah, 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:34.840 luckily you had their their field goal kicker missed a 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:39.720 field goal or an extra point two or do a lateral. Yeah, 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:41.720 it wasn't a good day. Speaking of that, it wasn't 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:47.520 a good day for the coaching geniuses yesterday as Peterson lost, 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:52.120 Sean McVay last night got beat and then a Hall 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:55.560 of Fame coach decided Rob Gronkowski would be better than 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:58.160 Devin mccordy as his safety on the final play of 0:14:58.160 --> 0:14:59.680 a game. But they really think they were going to 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.680 throw the ball like seven it was this It was 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:04.760 the thirty one yard line. Yeah, not not with that 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:08.280 quarterback back and you had to drop back right right, 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:12.440 I mean you would putting Gronk in the game if 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:15.640 it's the yard If they're throwing from the fifty yard line, right, 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:17.520 they're throwing into the goal line. Now you get someone 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:21.080 to bat it down. They even had better options than 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:24.080 Gronk on his own team. I mean, why not, Josh Gordon. 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:27.880 Let's thinkers thinking too much right there? I mean for 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:31.320 that purpose, But you're right from the thirty one Yeah, okay, 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:34.080 the best chance of them to score was gonna be 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:39.680 a Tyreek Hill type play like the screen. You surprised 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:42.560 Peterson didn't go for the win yesterday. Yeah, at the 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:46.480 end after they tied it, Yeah, especially after the penalty. Yeah, 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:48.520 should have moved the ball to the one it would 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:51.320 have Yeah. Now heat now their best there. Their two 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:54.640 point play that they ran against Washington last week or 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:58.600 Monday night was the option play that Dallas snuffed. They 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:00.960 ran that play for a two point play the other 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:03.880 day in a game, So maybe. I mean, I'm sure 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:06.800 Doug Peterson's got all kinds of the Philly specials, And yeah, 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:10.560 I wouldn't like that, I guess, especially knowing talked about 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:12.720 knowing the condition of your team. Yeah, he hadn't stopped 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:16.840 anybody their secondary I mean we talked about it. He 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:18.640 could have stood up there and said, Okay, I lost 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:21.560 this game because did you see my secondary play? Yeah? Well, 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:24.160 the analytics guys had to be beside themselves when he 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:27.800 didn't go. Well, usually he's the champion of analytics. I 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:32.600 get more people tweeted me about him, and oh, look 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:35.840 how smart Doug Peterson is, right, and then every you 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:38.240 know and and again we talk about knowing your condition 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:40.800 to your team, and Mickey pointed it out. His defense 0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:44.160 gave up five hundred something yards yesterday. He should have 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:46.160 tried to end that game right now. It's like my 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:48.760 guys at LSU against A and M should have ended 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:50.800 that game right there. You can't let you can't put 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:53.960 those guys back out there again. You know you got 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:57.840 what you deserve. Doug Peterson, congratulations. Didn't want to lose 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:00.600 on one play and on that Yeah, but but to 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:04.840 the point of he lost anyway, I understand. Yeah, And 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:09.320 so whatever happens at the end, he went against wrong, 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:12.359 he gave up, he did the opposite of what he 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:16.040 generally believes, and that cost him. And on the winning play, 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:17.560 what do you think of the decision to go with 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:20.639 an all out blitz and just leave his corners on 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:23.399 an island against the Maria Well almost hell of a 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:28.200 pickup by heel of a pickup by Ezekiel. Elliott, yeah, Elliott, Yeah, 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:31.040 he smashed because if if they I mean they let 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:33.879 the they let the one guy go that Dak Prescott 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:36.800 can account for the linebacker Brad him that that's the 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:39.600 one guy he could see. He couldn't see the blitz 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:43.240 coming from the inside. And a great job by by Zeke, 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:46.240 you know, beat up in the whole game, playing hard, 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:51.040 catching balls and then blitz pick up. Okay, I get you. Yeah, 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:53.920 you know you got my vote. You know, well he 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:59.000 sold out. Yeah, he gambled. Well, he had to his 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:01.560 team again. That defense was a mess. We said that 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:03.280 going in that they weren't gonna be able. They didn't 0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:06.040 have anybody that can cover Amari Cooper, didn't matter who 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:08.880 they put on him. You know, that just was That's 0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:11.680 the way it was. Douglas actually played the route pretty well, 0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:14.119 so he sat on it and he didn't bite on 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:16.800 the fade, didn't buy on the fake. Yeah. So but 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:19.640 I mean that's hey, that's you know, that's the way 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:23.080 it ends up. That's good. Well do we get into 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:26.080 the officiating now or do we wait on that? We 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:27.880 want to take a break from that hat was on 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:31.159 for some kind I think it went both ways. Oh 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:33.680 it did, it did both ways. How about we come 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:36.359 back and talk about what happened with the officials in 0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:40.840 yesterday's game when talking Cowboys continues in a moment, has 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:43.760 been helping Cowboys fans seed better since nineteen seventy two, 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:45.880 said they don't miss a moment on the field.
