It started a little later than expected with 17 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: Jason Garrett. Yes, so yeah, I think the combination of that. 18 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: We weren't late.

I've never 33 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: have we ever received a phone coin. We haven't since 34 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: you've come on. We've just kind of that's bad sign. No, 35 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: we didn't. We didn't. We didn't need any fillery, you know, Yeah, 36 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: all right, all right, we're just just established in that chemistry, 37 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: you know, keeping them. We'll get this something today. If 38 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: you guys want to chime in, I'm sure there's plenty 39 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: to talk about. Cowboys six and seven Rams, eight and 40 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: five Rams trying to get a wildcard spot. Cowboys trying 41 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 1: to sense this NFC East up and stop a second 42 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: three game losing streak. Huh, it's been a while since 43 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: they've kind of been in this situation, which which team, 44 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 1: the Cowboys being six and seven, not only that, with 45 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: the potential. Yes, they've never been in this position with 46 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: the potential they have and still be in this position. 47 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: Usually if we're talking about the three game lose and streaked, 48 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: then we're talking about them chan Gaily team. You know, 49 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: you have to go back to twenty fifteen when they 50 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: lost Tony Romo for what twelve of the sixteen games 51 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: and didn't really have a suitable backup, And oh that 52 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: was you know, I forgot those years fifteen, I forgot 53 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,839 Speaker 1: that those games. I forgot those games. Is I tried 54 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: to put that in my mind. That was we had 55 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: a carousale of oh quarterbacks, Yeah, yeah, Mark Sanchez, Matt Castle, 56 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: Brandon Weed. And you know what, if you go back 57 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: and look at that season, they lost a lot of 58 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: close games. They were in some games and lost them, 59 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: and that kind of reminds you of this team, except 60 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: these last two games haven't been so close. That's been 61 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: the difference and what's funny about this Jason Garretts press 62 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: conference just now. There were some talk about the Rams 63 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: and the matchups, and we did some of that yesterday. 64 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: We can do it today. The storyline of the big 65 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: rematch from the playoffs, we're not really talking about that 66 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: because of the the situation this team's in and the 67 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: Rams are scrapping two. I mean, you know that this 68 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: is not this doesn't feel like a big heavyweight rematch 69 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: that we've talked about because it's more about these teams 70 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: individual struggles, issues and trying to dig out of it. Yeah, 71 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: and kind of the disparity of records now and they're 72 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: sitting there at eight and five and you're sitting there 73 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: at six and seven on a three game losing streak. 74 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: They're on a two game winning streak, and I think 75 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: three of four Cowboys have lost four or five. So yeah, 76 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: I think that minimized the attention on um, you know 77 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: how big this game I guess could have been. It 78 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: is big. It is big, big for both teams at 79 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: this point, but we expected both teams to be at 80 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: a much better level. Yes, we were looking at these 81 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: two teams possibly before the San Francisco uprising. We expected 82 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 1: these two teams probably to be in the championship game, 83 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: and as they think, you're exactly right, and you know, 84 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: and they're like one game difference from being one game apart, 85 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: right if you think about it, they both kind of 86 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: not played to the level they played last year, at 87 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: least to this point. But you know, the Rams fans, 88 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: they're feeling a little bit better what's going on than 89 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: we are. Yeah, especially I mean two straight wins. Defenses 90 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: played markedly better with Jalen Ramsey. I think since he's 91 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: gotten there, they've I think they've given up more than 92 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: seventeen points once. It seems like that's when they're turned 93 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: around actually started, and that's that's seeing a lot for 94 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: a cornerback. You know. He kind of injected a little 95 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: bit of He seems to be one of those guys 96 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: in the locker room that would come in and say, hey, 97 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: everybody waked the hell up. You know, he would seem 98 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: like he's that guy. Did you see the uh the 99 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: training camp entrance that he had loved it? Mick wanted 100 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: to do that himself and Oxnard with the brink struck. Yeah, 101 00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:00,359 Speaker 1: I could see when we have a contract like you 102 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 1: had great truck. Hey, listen, if I would have done that, 103 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: I would have that was more of a ghetto type 104 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 1: of entrance, you know what I'm saying. If I was 105 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: gonna do it, you gotta go all the way out. 106 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: I would have come here. I would been dressed to 107 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: the nines. You had a top head on right, looking 108 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: like mister Monopoly or somebody. Yeah, you come in. You 109 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: gotta come in with the bags of money, and then 110 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 1: you gotta have a gauntlet of beautiful ladies. You know 111 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: that you can kind of they'll be dancing on the side, 112 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: cheerleaders or something like that, and you go down that 113 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: little that little little you know, our way there, and 114 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: you know, while they're chanting your name, you know, something 115 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: like that. But then if you're gonna do it, you 116 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 1: gotta do it like that. That was kind of low. 117 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: That was kind of low for somebody talking about having 118 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: so much money. That was really kind of, you know, 119 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,359 Speaker 1: a low income advertisement. How you think Tom would have 120 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: reacted to the Brings truck pulling up in Thousand Oaks? Oh, Tom, 121 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: First of all time, it depends on who it was time. 122 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: It just turned his back. I can act like it 123 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: wasn't there just like he did, like you could be 124 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: a broken leg doing practice and Tom be like, oh, 125 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: can we just move it down, you know, out of 126 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: the way. So yeah, I can remember that. I don't 127 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: think the needle moved that one summer when Tony kind 128 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: of held out a little bit and then showed up 129 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: late and everybody was standing outside waiting for him outside 130 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: that dorm to show up, and he pulls up and 131 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: you know, it was like the king just got out 132 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: of the car and yeah, Tom, I don't even think 133 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: he even mentioned it, right, Okay, you're ready to go 134 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: to work. Yeah, It's just it was so minded tone 135 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: everything about him when you just didn't expect much. The 136 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: only person that really shocked and probably was John Dunton. 137 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: You remember John, Yes, Yeah, John John. I think John 138 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: was the only person that scared that Tom Lantry. Everybody 139 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: else he was okay with it. You got all these 140 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: you got too tall, you got Harvey, you got Ranned, 141 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: all these monster mammoth guys. But John Dutton it was 142 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: the guy that actually scared Tim. Tom acted like he 143 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: didn't hear John every morning when John and you heard, 144 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: yeah you heard John every more has a big baritone voice. 145 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: I think it was the voice that scared Tom more 146 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: than it was. Those are the days when you know, 147 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: you just tried to see how much you can shock him? 148 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: How much could you shot Tom? And then that was 149 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: the thing, how much can we shock Hi him? We 150 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: never did. Brink Struck would have done it. Nobody, Nobody 151 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: did that back then. That was a you know, that 152 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: was a message to the Jags. He wanted to get 153 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,239 Speaker 1: paid Ramsel, pay Ramsey at some point, I would assume, 154 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: and he has had an impact on their defense. Um 155 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: what else from Jason injuries you want to get to 156 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: sounded like dat. They're fine with the functioning both hands, 157 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: even though he had some tape on his On his 158 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: right hand, he sprained that index finger uh in the game, 159 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: but sounded like he threw the ball well from and 160 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: from what I heard, he did, so I think that's good. 161 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: Um Sean Lee, he showed up on the injury port 162 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:02,959 Speaker 1: with a a peck and a thigh and uh he 163 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: did not practice Yeah, yeah, or which side of it? 164 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: I don't know. You know, he's had that it points 165 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,959 Speaker 1: throughout his season and I don't think it's prevented him 166 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: from playing, which is encouraging, but usually his day off 167 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: is Friday, not Wednesday, right, And they had a pretty 168 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: good physical practice I understand yesterday with a increased focus. 169 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: I was told, so, which is a good thing. Right, 170 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: you're six and seven, you better be focused that. I think, 171 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: what is that? Didn't see what didn't Zeke say something 172 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:43,719 Speaker 1: to that about somebody asking him about being focused? Or 173 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: yeah he did, and he goes, or six and seven, 174 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: we better be focused? He goes, that should be the 175 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: focus right there. So uh, and then you know it 176 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: was encouraging. I think we talked about it yesterday. Jeff 177 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: Heath was supposed to practice and sounds like like he 178 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: did on a limited basis, and uh, you know the 179 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: only other contact he's gonna Yeah, you can wear that 180 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,719 Speaker 1: brace all you want, right, but it's still gonna hurt. Yes, 181 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 1: the hit he laid on one of the Pat's receivers, 182 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,439 Speaker 1: I mean you could tell. I think I don't know 183 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,839 Speaker 1: if he reinjured it, but he certainly aggravated one of 184 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,199 Speaker 1: the shows he had to come out of the game. Yeah, Oh, 185 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: there's no doubt he can be injured it. Yeah time, 186 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: like you said, contact can can really and he's gonna 187 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: keep on reinjuring it. I'm even from falling, you're gonna 188 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: reinjure it. Yeah, it's just a matter how much pain 189 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: you feel. I mean, obviously he's gonna be on some 190 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: type of medication or something. I mean, you gotta you 191 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: gotta have something in you to where it, even though 192 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 1: you don't want it to affect your decision making. But 193 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: he's gonna have to be on some type of pain medication. 194 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: He's to me, if he does play, he should be 195 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: extremely restricted. Uh, if we have a chance of doing anything, 196 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: Uh not just in this game before the rest of 197 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: the season, you're gonna need all the dB you can take. 198 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: And let's let's let's just be real. We've been doing 199 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: okay without him. We were okay with him, Yeah, and 200 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 1: we've been doing okay without him. I can't see us 201 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: being I don't. I don't think the stats were markedly 202 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: different from when he was in the game, but when 203 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: he wasn't, so I'd just say, let's just hold him 204 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: out as long as you can because the backups are 205 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: doing an adequate and I stressed that adequate adequate job. Yeah, 206 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: well feeling and that's a great point ever since, because 207 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: I think they're one of the games and then running together. 208 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,839 Speaker 1: Jeff was really just on special teams, just kind of 209 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 1: running down in coverage and wasn't on defense. So maybe 210 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: he can do something for them in the game. We'll see. 211 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: I know, Mick, you said they miss him. I think 212 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 1: in a couple of different special teams to do from 213 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: a leadership standpoint back there and a guy that kind 214 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: of diagnoses things and uh, you know, he we he's 215 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: a guy that the fans always want to replace. Let's 216 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: be honest. I mean that's we've been hearing that for years. 217 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: That's fine, and yeah, but uh, you know, and he's 218 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: kind of quiet in the locker room, but I think 219 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: on the field he's not. I think he's a pretty 220 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 1: good leader out there, and well they're missing those He's 221 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: not shy about throwing it in there. Yeah. So it's 222 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: to me, it's just a matter of having the ability 223 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: to make the play. You have a guy plays with 224 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 1: a you know, plays with his head a little bit, 225 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: not as athletic as you want to be, then you 226 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: might have another guy in the replacement of Thompson. Is 227 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: it Thompson Thompson guy, and he's very athletic. He seems 228 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: to be a little bit heads up as far as 229 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: instincts or concern, but surely not the leadership that we 230 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: want back there. So you're kind of trading it off 231 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: more athleticism leadership versus the other way around. So yeah, 232 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: either you're gonna be in place, you know, because you 233 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,719 Speaker 1: anticipated what was going on, You're gonna be right there 234 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: to make the play, or your athleticism might allow you 235 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 1: to make the play even if you might recognize it 236 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: a little bit later than usual. I'm with you, guys. 237 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: I think he's been underrated in terms of his presence back. 238 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: There are special teams too. I've been talking about special 239 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 1: teams all all season, and he's a guy that is 240 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 1: a starter who will continue to contribute there as long 241 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: as he's healthy. That's what we used to do. They had, 242 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: but we used to have starters play all special teams 243 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 1: pretty much. I played, but kickoff coverage, punt return, field 244 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: goal block. Really you're gonna, yeah, you're gonna get in 245 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:22,839 Speaker 1: as starters. We were always very integral to the success 246 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,839 Speaker 1: of the special teams, just by the way we had 247 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 1: all the veterans in there. We took pride in that 248 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: me and Billy Joe Dupree were trying to hold up 249 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: big Dexter Manley. You know, they put him out as 250 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: a gunner on punt coverage for them, so didn't they really? Yeah, yeah, 251 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: they did that all the time, not just not just 252 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: Dexter Manley, but the other one, the big guy. They 253 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: had two big defensive ends running down as gunners, and 254 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: Billy Joe Dupree came out and helped me because he 255 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: was a bigger person. Ules me and Victor Scott as 256 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: another dB. But it was me and Billy Joe Dupree 257 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: we whipped his butt. I was gonna say that, man, 258 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: And you know what, if you got a gunner that's crazy, 259 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: I worry about that guy. Yeah, yeah, he definitely was crazy. Yeah. 260 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 1: So they've got eight other guys listed as limited. Any 261 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: of those concern you for Sunday? I think the Shawn 262 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: Lee one does. Yeah. I think the other ones are 263 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: guys that have and then also the punter with an 264 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: abdomen injury. He hurt himself in that game and made 265 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: it through. Yeah, you too much, I'm worn out? Uh 266 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: good that Pollard was back out there limited, same with 267 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: Antoine Woods and really the only other guy that was 268 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: out was um was Vander esh, and I think we're 269 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: just going to assume that that's going to be for 270 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: a while, so we be concerned about the punner because yeah, 271 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: you don't have a guy right this is this is 272 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: huge right now, that's fair point. We've given up a blot. 273 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: Jason told us last week after the game they felt 274 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: optimistic about him coming out of it. So we'll see, 275 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: I mean, barring a setback, I mean you think he'd 276 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: probably would be good to go. But yeah, what's your 277 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: what's your kick? If you'll go kicker? Maybe maybe that's 278 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: why he got signed, maybe he can punch two. We 279 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: didn't ask that question. Also, wait, the punch is the holder? Yes, yes, man, 280 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: we got a lot of stuff going on here. That's 281 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: very astute point there. There's a couple of different roles 282 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: on him, and Jeff heats the backup kick. Oh lord, 283 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: if you want to take another star, Murphy's law is 284 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: a very easy solution to all that score touchdowns. You're 285 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: absolutely right, Nick, because you know if you score a touchdown, 286 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: you can go for two. Right. All right with that, 287 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: let's take our first break. We've got a couple of 288 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: callers holding.

Um um, listen, I just wanted to 346 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: say that as poorly as we played lately, we still 347 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 1: have a tremendous opportunity in front of us. We control 348 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: our own destiny. We just have to to get our 349 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: together and start playing a good football and go on 350 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 1: a run. We u we can do it. I'm fired up. 351 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: Uh uhhh, good cowboy, take care, thanks for being patient 352 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 1: with me, and have a great week. But thanks. Go down. 353 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: That's it, go cowboy and see he's right. I mean, 354 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 1: we have to just get on the road. We just 355 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,120 Speaker 1: have to get on the road. We talked about how 356 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 1: the Rams were able to win that of the Philly 357 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 1: I'm sorry I was able to win that ugly game. 358 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: Yeah we need I don't care what kind of win 359 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 1: it is. If it's ugly, probably the uglier the better. 360 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,120 Speaker 1: Because as much as we think we're this team of style, 361 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,439 Speaker 1: yeah we're not that team anymore. We lose ugly. So 362 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 1: let's win ugly. You know, let's just let's just get 363 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,360 Speaker 1: down in dirty. Agree with it. You know, Let's let's 364 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 1: have Dad go ten for twenty eight you know what 365 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: I mean, one hundred eighty eight yards. You know, maybe 366 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: a pick and a touchdown, and Zeke might go eighty 367 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: eight yards. He might fumble once, but he's gonna get 368 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 1: a receiving touch I mean just ugly ways, unconditioned on 369 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: traditional ways that you know, the way the Cowboys are 370 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: used to doing it. But let's let's go against that. 371 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: Let's just see if we can just you know, grind 372 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,199 Speaker 1: one out to where somebody goes, oh man, this is 373 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: those most boiling games ever and then boom we win 374 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 1: and you win. That's all I'm That's like Philly. Yeah, 375 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: like Philly. Nine to three style points, damn a touchdowns whatever. 376 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: It takes a thing for style parts. But I think 377 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: everything you really hit on something a couple of days ago, 378 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: they do need some type of play to spark them, 379 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: some type of momentum changing play. And when you look 380 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,439 Speaker 1: the last time they had a I can't believe they 381 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: have two three game losing streaks in the season. It 382 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: is just beyond me. I never would have thought that. 383 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: But they ended their first one against Philly, and it 384 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: was the defense that did it. The takeaways, short fields, 385 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: quick change possessions, things that that fired up the crowd, 386 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: fired up the team. The offense had shorter field and 387 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 1: nar able to feed off of it. That changed what 388 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: they gotta do. If I recall that win, was that 389 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: also after a three game it was that ended. It 390 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 1: was they had to. Boy, they were facing at the 391 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: prospect of going into the bye week with four straight losses, 392 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: and the defense really stepped up, and I think it's 393 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: got to be that well. Yeah, I mean when you 394 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: look at that game, that was the closest game to 395 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: me that i've I've felt the energy as close the 396 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 1: games to the sat the Saints game, you know, just 397 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 1: the energy that the crowd. You could feel it in 398 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 1: the crowd pregame. The guys came out, it was as 399 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: if they were another team. They didn't even seem as 400 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: if they were that team that lost those three games. 401 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 1: The energy level was there, the competence level was there, 402 00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 1: no turnovers, took control of the game from play one 403 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 1: from from from the kickoff. You knew that this was 404 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 1: going to be a different team. That's the That's the 405 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: team I've been waiting on and doing these last three 406 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: winning streaks, the last three game winning losing streak with them. 407 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: That's the team I've been waiting on us too. You 408 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: want to hit the phone lines again, gentlemen, Sure, let's 409 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 1: go Raphael in Georgia.

Please, 421 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: we would like for you to do the commercials instead 422 00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: of Man. Hey, much respected a tall. I listened to 423 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,719 Speaker 1: him all the time. Man, I just keep them prayed up. Man, 424 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: that's pretty awesome. I got two quick things I know 425 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 1: you got. The guys got a roll. Number one is 426 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: about the offense. I said this a while back. I 427 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 1: think I talked to making them last season. Do you 428 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,400 Speaker 1: think that it's probably something that we could do as 429 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 1: far as my offensive coordinator is just kind of the 430 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: game stuff different every game. So if people can't pick 431 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: up what we're doing maybe like you talked to yesterday, 432 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,439 Speaker 1: they talked to that on the break about how they 433 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 1: can scheme Cooper to do some different things that kind 434 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: of get open to them instead of being a second 435 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: and third read. And then secondly, I don't know if 436 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 1: there's a big drop down from vander Esteve and the 437 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: league coming in because I saw leading a lot of 438 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: players last week. So what do you guys think about 439 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: the linebackers too as well? So we're going to get 440 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: this from this week. Mankind a great one. Thanks you 441 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 1: for speaking with the guys. Thanks, Raphael, I appreciate it. 442 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: We kind of touched on the linebackers. Everything really insightful 443 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: yesterday about the problems they've had in the run game, 444 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: stopping the run and how it really starts with that 445 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 1: front four or affecting the linebackers. It really does regardless 446 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: of vision there. Yeah, we talked about how the role 447 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: of a defensive lineman at times is to impede the 448 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 1: progress of that uncovered offensive lineman that's next to the 449 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: one that they're going against. So you already lined up 450 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: on the offensive tackle. Now that guard has no uncovering him. 451 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: You also have to just hold him up a little 452 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: bit before he just comes blasting off of the line 453 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: of scrimmage. So now if you don't do that, the 454 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: linebackers under the rest as far as the running player 455 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: is concerned. Now, when it comes to a passing play, 456 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: that's when the play action comes in. We think about 457 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: Dak doing the play action and going deep and how 458 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,439 Speaker 1: successful he was with touchdowns and passes over twenty yards 459 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,160 Speaker 1: with the play action. The way it's ruining our linebackers 460 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 1: confidence is now that play action is working them over 461 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,439 Speaker 1: with the running backs in the passing game and the 462 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: tight end. So all of a sudden, you got ruled 463 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 1: off back here in the vikings game, catching one handed passes. 464 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: You've got I think back says that have really been 465 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: given us problems in the passing game, whether it's a 466 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: screen or whether it's them being isolated in the slot. 467 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: Things we've tried to do with Zeke where we've been unsuccessful. 468 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 1: So now first you're worried about the running play because 469 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: the linement are getting off on you. Then now you're 470 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: going to get sucked up on the play action and 471 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: the tight end is going right down the scene. So 472 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: that's why we've been compounding our run issues with our 473 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 1: problems with linebackers covering those intermediate routes from the tight 474 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: ends and the running backs. Yeah, and I don't know 475 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 1: what else. I mean the offense we talked about it yesterday, 476 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: was you know, lacking the big plays. Is that the 477 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 1: coordinator's faulters way teams are playing them. But I went 478 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,200 Speaker 1: back real quick and looked, and since that Minnesota game, 479 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: it's like every touchdown they score, and they didn't score 480 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: any against the Patriots. It seems to be they're grinding away. 481 00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: It's not like a huge play. The nineteen yard touchdown 482 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: pass to Cooper against the Bears, Okay, somewhat of an easy, 483 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: but you still had to drive all the way to 484 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: the nineteen to do it. And then at the end 485 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: of the Bills game it was a fifteen yard pass 486 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: to Ventel Bryant, but that was at the end of 487 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: the game too. All since the Minnesota game, they've just 488 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 1: had to grind and grind and grind. What did you 489 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: see coverage wise against Amuri against Chicago? Because I don't 490 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: think he was targeted until the second quarter, and a 491 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: lot's being made of road home. He's not involved as 492 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: early and often on the road versus home. I don't 493 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 1: know if there's anything to that or if it's the 494 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 1: way teams are playing him. Well after that first drive, 495 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 1: I don't know who was targeted if you think about it, right, 496 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: because there was a bunch of three and outs right away, 497 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 1: Yes it was and again targets right, Okay, but they've 498 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: just had to grind away so much because where Minnesota 499 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 1: was the last game that they actually had some big 500 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: plays in here. Here's here's the problem that the Cowboys 501 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: have been having. Red zone. Okay, they've had problems in 502 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: red zone. What you're gonna see is we're gonna have 503 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: to start scoring obviously outside of the red zone, right 504 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: more aggressive on the thirty, on the forty. We're gonna 505 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 1: be more aggressive down the field. I mean we should be, 506 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,679 Speaker 1: because once we get down into the red zone after 507 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 1: fifteen plays now here we are on the red zone. Man, 508 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 1: that that's the grind. That's when that's when when you're 509 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: margin for error, it's very slim. It's even slimmer than 510 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,239 Speaker 1: going down the field. So that's the issues that you have. 511 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 1: I look for them to try to go down the 512 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: field as we get on the other side of the 513 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: fifty and just start you gotta start taking your shots. 514 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: You have to loosen them up. San Francisco when they 515 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: played against the Saints, the Saints are an excellent red 516 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: zone team. San Francisco became creative outside of the red zone. 517 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: Was that the reverse wide receiver pass right running back? Yeah, 518 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 1: so you change things up all of a sudden. They 519 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 1: saw something in the linebackers and we have the same 520 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: play where you got the play action to Zeke and 521 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: you've got the d cut coming behind the linebackers who've 522 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: been sucked up. They did that for crucial times in 523 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: the game, crucial time because they saw something that's something 524 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: that they don't usually do in San Francisco. But the 525 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator saw something. He didn't just go by the script. 526 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: They changed the script. First four plays, San Francisco passes. 527 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 1: Never done that before, four for four, girl appolo, Come on, 528 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: who is this guy? All of a sudden, he's the man. 529 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 1: That's because they changed the game plan. Instead of going 530 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: in with the same listed scripted plays, they changed everything up, 531 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 1: and they caught the Saints off guard. Eventually got the 532 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 1: four the Niners to win red zone. Yeah, you guys 533 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 1: are right. I asked Jason Witton about it recently, and 534 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 1: he said, to your point, ever since, it just gets 535 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: tighter down there, they haven't been ahead of the chains 536 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,080 Speaker 1: down there a lot. They've had some minus plays and all. So, 537 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 1: I mean they've also just they've taken some shots, you know, 538 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: some fade routes or some stuff in the corner of 539 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 1: the end zone, and it hasn't hasn't worked out for 540 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 1: I mean, we we we've done that before. That's no 541 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: surprise when we get down there, that's what we do. Yeah, 542 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: so yeah, you might as well start playing for it. 543 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 1: And as a defense, why don't we start playing for 544 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: it because they're doing the same thing. This absolutely absolutely 545 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: got anything else over there, Mick. Well, Um, the other 546 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: thing that I think would help out, Um, and they've 547 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: gotten a couple here the last couple of games is 548 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 1: longer runs. You know, Zeke's kind of breaking out now. 549 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 1: If they can get him on one of those and 550 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: get a forty yard touchdown or something and start making 551 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: people more respect that at the line of scrimmage, maybe 552 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: they get more one on one situations in the in 553 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: the passing game, because what teams, I'm telling you, what 554 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 1: teams are doing is they're they're bringing pressure and they're 555 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: backing up and it's like everything's in front of it. 556 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: They had you that that Zeke's got to take one, 557 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: you know, to take one, but that safety is always 558 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: going to be back there because they're so deep. Right, Yeah, 559 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: you're gonna get the runs. Run his skinny butt over. 560 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 1: Score outside that right game plan. I think that's at 561 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 1: the top of the game on the pair, run them over. 562 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 1: That's the game. All right, let's wrap it up when 563 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 1: we come back on Talk Cowboys.

Hey, guys, A long time caller, a 620 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 1: long time listener, first time caller, wanted to really just 621 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 1: kind of talk about the coach for a while and 622 00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,799 Speaker 1: guess kind of give them props. I don't think enough 623 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 1: fans do that. Uh, And I kind of look at stats. 624 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:03,879 Speaker 1: You know, since Jason Garrett has been the coach, he's 625 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,879 Speaker 1: really built this thing and uh, you know, he beats 626 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: the division year after year. Uh. People look at the 627 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 1: eight and eight three, you know, the first three eight 628 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,759 Speaker 1: and eight seasons. But since then, if you eliminate the 629 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 1: one season losing season, he's won sixty five percent of 630 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 1: his games, including this year, you know. And you can't 631 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 1: ask a coach, in my opinion, to just win thirteen 632 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 1: games a year every year. And you don't. No one's 633 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 1: trying to fire fire Andy Reid because he doesn't have 634 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. You know, I think we reset keep 635 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: Jason and look forward to next year. And I'll hang 636 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,279 Speaker 1: up and listen to you guys who that's him? That 637 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:44,880 Speaker 1: was Jason Garrett's agent that were you expecting that? No? 638 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,239 Speaker 1: But you know what you remember how always telling you 639 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 1: what happens in the locker room at the health club. 640 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 1: Some guy today, he was like, yeah, I know, and 641 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:57,839 Speaker 1: he goes, what year was this guy the NFL coach 642 00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 1: of the year. I said, well, it was three years ago, 643 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,360 Speaker 1: and he goes, yeah. I said, well, yea, we know 644 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:07,759 Speaker 1: this is a year to year, day to day league. Unfortunately, 645 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 1: so people talk to you now when you work out. 646 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, because at first you said nobody, no, 647 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,799 Speaker 1: no apathy. Right on the last couple of days, I've 648 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 1: gotten questions. They're into it. I mean, I'm with the caller. 649 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 1: I know, I mean the minority here, but I'm a 650 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,880 Speaker 1: Jason ga fan, I really am. I wish you'd take 651 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 1: care of his business a little better, no doubt about it. 652 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:33,360 Speaker 1: I have higher aspirations aspirations for him. But everything the 653 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 1: caller said was true. But the only stat that really 654 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:40,439 Speaker 1: counts is what two playoff wins? Yeah, in all those years, 655 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,240 Speaker 1: the numbers are great. Everything he talked about was amazing, 656 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 1: but those only two playoff wins. It's like, we got 657 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:52,279 Speaker 1: this this ceiling. You know that we're fighting against and 658 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 1: unfortunately we can't break through it. Those two wins double 659 00:36:56,160 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 1: what anybody else has done since ninety six. Wow, that's 660 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 1: kind of like Jeff Heath then Wade got one, Wayne 661 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 1: got one in two thousand and nine, and Jason's got 662 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 1: the two after that. It's been a long stretch. Um, 663 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: how were you? How were you when they were a 664 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 1: kicking butt? When in ninety five when they won the 665 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 1: Super Bowl? I was thirteen. Wows yeah, So I mean, look, yeah, 666 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:24,800 Speaker 1: there's I get why fans are frustrated. I thought too old. No, 667 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,279 Speaker 1: I'm a little I'm not thank you. I'm not as 668 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,880 Speaker 1: young as as old as that. Look uh yeah, I 669 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,560 Speaker 1: mean there's kids driving that that don't know weren't alive 670 00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,600 Speaker 1: when the Cowboys won a Super Bowl. That is why 671 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,200 Speaker 1: the Jones has talked about next step. Stephen said that 672 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 1: all offseason, next step, next step. It is a frustrating time. 673 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 1: I will say this about all the talk about Jason's 674 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,160 Speaker 1: job security, I don't think the players listen to it. 675 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 1: I mean we've talked to guys in the locker room 676 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,800 Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks. Mary Cooper had no idea, 677 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: had no idea He's like, I just don't get on 678 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,799 Speaker 1: social media. I don't do that, Lile Collins. I don't 679 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,839 Speaker 1: think that is factoring into their struggles. I really don't. 680 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 1: I just think they're just not playing winning football. You got, 681 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 1: it's not I'm not as concerned about what factors into 682 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 1: the struggles, but what's going to factor into their getting motivation? Yeah? 683 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,799 Speaker 1: They what motivates them? You know, because it's we've had 684 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:21,000 Speaker 1: these moments, two three game losing streaks. Yeah, what motivates you? 685 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,719 Speaker 1: What motivated them for the Philadelphia game? What made you 686 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 1: come out all of a sudden and started playing like 687 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,520 Speaker 1: the team that will accustom the scene. I want to 688 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,439 Speaker 1: see what what that was. And then let's let's let's 689 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,400 Speaker 1: let's duplicate that. You know, you talked about if you 690 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,920 Speaker 1: were when you were alive and sorry thing, just think 691 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,640 Speaker 1: how many people weren't alive when the Cowboys strung together 692 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:45,600 Speaker 1: those twenty consecutive winning seasons. Wow. Yeah, kind of reminded 693 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:47,839 Speaker 1: me because we had Roger Staubach on The Happy Hour 694 00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,759 Speaker 1: last night and he was talking about we started talking 695 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 1: about his last season, which was seventy nine. You would 696 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:55,800 Speaker 1: have been in college lost to the rand point and 697 00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,800 Speaker 1: they lost to the Rams, right, And his recollection of 698 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:00,880 Speaker 1: the season was because they had the great win at 699 00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,320 Speaker 1: the end to beat the Redskins to get into playoffs. 700 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,160 Speaker 1: And I remember him saying, he goes, yeah, and he 701 00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,560 Speaker 1: goes that that was kind of a down season for us, 702 00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,799 Speaker 1: and I'm going, okay, I think they finished like ten 703 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 1: and six and won the division. Again, well, they lost 704 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,359 Speaker 1: the first round in the playoffs. And back then after 705 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,800 Speaker 1: you had gone to the super Bowl like three, so 706 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,600 Speaker 1: seventy five, seventy seven, seventy eight, and then you don't 707 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,919 Speaker 1: win a playoff game. Back then, that was a down year. 708 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,960 Speaker 1: It really struck me when he said that. It's like, oh, yeah, 709 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 1: that's the standard that they was a little bit different. Yeah, 710 00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 1: and then you know, the winning continued until the eighty 711 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:43,920 Speaker 1: sixth season, the twenty consecutive winning winning season. I was there, Spags. 712 00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 1: I saw it myself. Actually I arrived when when the 713 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:52,960 Speaker 1: string of playoff appearances ended in eighty four. Remember you 714 00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,719 Speaker 1: got beat by Miami of the season, but people don't 715 00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:01,279 Speaker 1: will if I'm not mistaken, even before the game, we 716 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:06,839 Speaker 1: were already eliminated. I think you you, I think you were. 717 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:12,880 Speaker 1: It ended up uh and nine and nine and seven seasons. 718 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,680 Speaker 1: We were already eliminated before that game, but there was 719 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,800 Speaker 1: still just a lot of hype around it. Remember Marino 720 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,279 Speaker 1: hit the pass at the end to one of those 721 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:27,239 Speaker 1: clay No, I was on duper so no hit the 722 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:31,239 Speaker 1: other game, no duper no, no no. But if Mark 723 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:35,520 Speaker 1: Clayton went off on us for two almost identical plays 724 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,840 Speaker 1: deep end cuts and he ended up going a crossing 725 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:40,480 Speaker 1: all the way across the field going down the side 726 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,279 Speaker 1: of it was a It was at the Orange Bold 727 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,279 Speaker 1: and I remember we came down early because we thought 728 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,440 Speaker 1: the game was over, and then we were standing in 729 00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,279 Speaker 1: the end zone and he cut that pass right in 730 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,400 Speaker 1: front of us. Yeah. Well, let's get a couple from 731 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,760 Speaker 1: Mary Cooper on Sunday, right, get that winning going again. 732 00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 1: Cowboys Rams on Sunday.
