It's not a cloudless 7 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: guy as far as the weather goes in Prisco, Texas. Star. 8 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: It was a fog shrouded morning once again for the 9 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: second straight day. Y'all aren't here to see it yesterday, 10 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: Mickey and Rob, But it was very foggy this morning. 11 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: It lifted about three o'clock in the afternoon and then 12 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 1: the fog came back. Well, we experienced the fog early 13 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: this morning. By the way, it's right. I was concerned 14 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: on your return from Philly, yes last night, if the 15 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: fog would hit and even after how long was the 16 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: delay the team charter leaving Philly last night. I don't know. 17 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: It felt like three hours, but it was probably an 18 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: hour hour and a half it was. It was four hours, 19 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: nearly four hours after the end of the game where 20 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: the team charter finally took off, but just after ten 21 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: o'clock Dallas time. We made decent time. But it was 22 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: the perfect ending to a perfect Yeah that's what I 23 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: was gonna say. Yeah, you know, you get your butts kicked, 24 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: you really hand them the game, and then you have 25 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: to sit on the run way, right, were sitting on 26 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: the run like, no, you were sitting at at the 27 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: stadium on the bus. Yeah, that's even better. Yeah, it 28 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: was great. It was like one last kick in the ass. 29 00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: That was like me when I didn't make the Hall 30 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: of Fame and I told me, said, you gotta be 31 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: downstairs in five minutes, like, uh, hey, what you gonna 32 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: do when I get ready to the bus. That was 33 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 1: just so depressing. Yeah, you especially in the plane, you're 34 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: all kind of spread out right in the bus, everybody's 35 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: on top of each other. And I know Rob was 36 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: in the safe situation. We're we're going like, well we 37 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: might as well work, right, Well, everybody else has got 38 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,239 Speaker 1: their phones going, music's playing, and you know, and you're 39 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: trying to I put my noise canceling headphones on and 40 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 1: it wasn't canceling enough and I had to do all 41 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: I could do was grip my teeth and like not 42 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: yell out shut the you were you were been like 43 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: Textram after one of those sorry Cowboy games, saying Saint 44 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: Louis right. I remember him standing between first class and 45 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: coach and he had his drink in his hand and 46 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: he was just sneering at us, like, you guys, horrible 47 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: look on his face. I'm surprised you guys didn't get 48 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: a lot of that last Well, it's good thing Jimmy 49 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 1: wasn't there. He would have cut off food surface. That's right, 50 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: that's right. I see they're quiet in the dark, no noise. Okay, 51 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: So where do we start at the bottom there? That's 52 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: that's where everyone seems to be at this point. Same old, 53 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: same old, right, it can't be consistent. Um, Look, I thought, 54 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: I thought the Eagles, and this is what I wrote 55 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: in my column. They basically made two bets. The first 56 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: bet was the Cowboys can't cover tight ends in running 57 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: backs in the passing game, and the Cowboys showed that 58 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: in six of the last seven games. They could not 59 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: covered tight ends in running backs. They were without their 60 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: top three wide receivers, and they basically ran twenty two 61 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: personnel the whole game, two tight uh, two tight, two 62 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: wide receivers. Basically we had one back sorry uh and 63 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: and the Cowboys had no answer for it whatsoever. The 64 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: tight ends and running backs ended up catching uh twenty 65 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: four passes for two hundred and three yards in a touchdown, 66 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: which is exactly what the Eagles have been doing. They 67 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: did it anyway, that right, right, that's what they've been receivers. 68 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: They they've had to do that secret. It was the 69 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: Minnesota template. We've seen it ever since the Minnesota game 70 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: with Dalvin Cook. If you've got running backs that can 71 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: do that, run those kind of routes and be effective 72 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: in space, they're gonna challenge you. And Mickey's right, what 73 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: would Sanders have seven catches in the game something like that? 74 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: He had six six five catches for seventy seven yards 75 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: and ever since talked about it too that you know, 76 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: the offensive lines have been able to get out on 77 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: the second level and they've also been challenging the Cowboys 78 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: linebackers in space. And it's it's paid off for him. 79 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: But you look at the scoreboard at the end of 80 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 1: the game and he says seventeen points huh ought to 81 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 1: be enough to win a football game. And for me, 82 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: Mickey's exactly right. But I want to get mixed. Second bet. 83 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: What was the second Did you have a second? Second bet? 84 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: Was by no circumstance. Was Ezekiel Elliott gonna beat us? 85 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: So they basically put eight guys in the box, almost 86 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: exclusively if the Cowboys had three wide receivers out there. 87 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: They basically said, okay, fine, we're manning everybody with a 88 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: single safety high and we're gonna bet that you can't 89 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: beat us. Dak Prescott, they thought, you know, and maybe 90 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: they were right, Okay, he was throwing the ball. Fine, 91 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: It didn't look like he was in any discomfort. He 92 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: hadn't practice all week, and it looked like he was 93 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,919 Speaker 1: uncomfortable in the pockets seeing things, and he was uncaref 94 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: characteristically inaccurate. They had open receivers down the field and 95 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: he missed Tis time and time again. Tavon Austin's got 96 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: to walk in touchdown right overthrows him by five yards. 97 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: Some of his other passes were just so inaccurate. And 98 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 1: I don't think it had anything to do with the shoulder. 99 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: I don't either, I just think and he finally kind 100 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: of admitted it he goes. I don't know. It might 101 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: have been not having any reps or something. He kind 102 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: of alluded to it. I think he's too old for that. 103 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: It should have been down. He's a veteran. They made 104 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: the bet that he wasn't going to beat him in 105 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: the passing game, and even on the last play, the 106 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: fourth down play, if he doesn't underthrow Gallop, it's a touchdown. 107 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: But he underthrew it enough where Avonte Maddox was able 108 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 1: to come up and knock it away. Not that that one. 109 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: That's the only point I disagree with. I thought there 110 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: was a chance for Gallup to go up and get it. 111 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: But the guy held his arm down right, he got 112 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: hooked and so he I think Gallup would have I 113 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: think he would have gone up and got that ball. 114 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: See he when he did his postgame interview you, he 115 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: said I made a mistake. He said, instead of going 116 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 1: straight up to catch the ball, he goes, I faded 117 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: and I was going backwards trying to catch it, and 118 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: I allowed him to get into me. He goes, and 119 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: he stopped and going up. Yes, I could, like a 120 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: defensive back, you stop him up. This is the highest point. 121 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: This is not yeah, but I don't think he had 122 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: a chance to even get to his highest point because 123 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: his arm was being held down. And they know they 124 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: could have called it. They could have called it. They 125 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: actually could have called it. They would have been a 126 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: good call. But to me, as far as I'm concerned, 127 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: bass gotta be a little bit higher, It's gotta be 128 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: a little bit better thrown. Uh. The entire game was 129 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: all about that, can you make this play? No? I cannot. 130 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: He had gallop on a crossing route earlier in the 131 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: game where a little behind him. Four passes that was crucial, 132 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: and then drop in six drops by the way. See 133 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: that's the other thing. That's the other thing. Like, I 134 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: don't know if the shoulder bothered him. He said it didn't. 135 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: I think he did. Yeah, he won't. He won't, And 136 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: and look he didn't use it as an excuse. And 137 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: when you're running, scrambling and falling right on top of it, 138 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: you know, I think he had to go for it, 139 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: didn't He first drive, he scrambled and uh, he had 140 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: to put his shoulder. Yeah, clearly he wasn't afraid to 141 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: do that. Um, but Mickey's right, I do think there 142 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: was some kind of Russ factor there wasn't seeing things. 143 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: And he does lead the league in explosive pass plays 144 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: over twenty years. He can make those throws. He didn't 145 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 1: make them yesterday. But to me, and I'm sorry, you 146 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: had two bets there. That the three things that stand 147 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: out to me when they have not won games this year. 148 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 1: They've been bad in the red zone. They were owing 149 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: two in the red zone again yesterday. Mickey mentioned not 150 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: running the ball. Well, I still thought there were opportunities 151 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: for Zeke to run and five carries in the first 152 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 1: half surprised me. It just it just surprised me because 153 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: they went out in the third quarter and had some 154 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: success running the football and I thought we were coming 155 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: back and got him abushed and then you saw the 156 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: play action working in and I was like, Okay, they're 157 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,079 Speaker 1: getting back some of the some of the rhythm. Fum 158 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: didn't we That was turning point of the game right there, 159 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: and that was going to be the key. That could 160 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 1: have been the key turnaround in the game because you 161 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 1: had the last possession in the first half and you 162 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: milked it for a field goal and guy, God bless 163 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 1: Kai four bath right, he kept it, he kept respectable. 164 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: He is cold And then the first possession of the 165 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,839 Speaker 1: second half. You drive down, you're at the what were 166 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: they like, the twenty three yard line. They throw the 167 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: little pitch out to a Pollard and he's fighting for 168 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: one yard and he gets stripped as he's going down. Now, 169 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: Cox makes a good play because it didn't get blocked. 170 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: You know what, I went back and looked at Did 171 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: you go back and look at that. There's not a 172 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: single player they got a block on the nobody. No, 173 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: they're not. Not a single player blocked the man on 174 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 1: that play. Now, Garrett's coach, Garrett said this morning that 175 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 1: z got banged up. Well, he plays earlier, that's why 176 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: he was. I talked about that during the game. So 177 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: it's a shame he's not in there. But the pitch 178 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: back in that situation, you need a yard. I mean, 179 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: that wouldn't have been a call for Zeke anyway. Probably. Yeah. Yeah, 180 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: it's like we'll surprise him. We'll fake the handoff going 181 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: the other way and pitch it out to the left 182 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 1: and they didn't fall for it. It was yeah, yeah, 183 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,239 Speaker 1: it does. But like you said, you gotta block somebody. 184 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: You have to block someone. I mean, because from what 185 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: I saw, it's one of those players where Okay, that's 186 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,079 Speaker 1: a great call if it works. Yeah. So and that's 187 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: a great call if it's executed. Well, it's not. It 188 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: doesn't just work magically. It has to be executed well. 189 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,719 Speaker 1: And we didn't execute it well. So therefore it makes 190 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: a coach and the whole team looked degraded. Yeah, it's like, 191 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: what kind of play call was that? And that was 192 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: a that was thirteen personnel. It was three tight ends 193 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: that were lined up to the right, so it was 194 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 1: a pitch an option to the left side, the week 195 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: side and fifty Duke Riley, who is only in the 196 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: game on defense when it's a three tight so it's 197 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: like the only play of the game he's out on defense. 198 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: He set the edge, he got out beyond a block 199 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: by Tyrons, attempted block by Tyron and set the edge, 200 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: and and it was everybody else was there to And 201 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: that's strong side about offensive line. So yeah, you would 202 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 1: think that they'd be a little bit more. Well, we 203 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: asked for polo and we got them. Yeah, that's right. 204 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: I mean I was saying in the press box and 205 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: I know it was on Twitter. Two where is he? 206 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: You know, one hundred and thirty one yards the week before. 207 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: But that's the thing. So now everyone complains with that 208 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: Zeke Wedden in the age and yeah, back, not everyone, 209 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: the same people. They're saying, how come Pauler doesn't get 210 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: more touches than Wedden Zeke in the game now? And 211 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: that was the turning point in the game. And then 212 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: the third thing for me is takeaways. They just ball 213 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,839 Speaker 1: hits Xavier Woods right in the hands, could be a 214 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: pick six, or at least you finally give your offense 215 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: some you know, some prime real estate there. Those are 216 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: the things that are that's the recipe for the losses 217 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: they've had this year. That sounds all of this sounds 218 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: very familiar days of which which usually those are the 219 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: things in a playoff game game, and this was a playoff. 220 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: It was like all your little hiccups during the season, 221 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 1: they show up when you start playing better teams. It's 222 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: like they expose the things that you should. So it 223 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: shows that as a team with steal, that team that 224 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: had the three game losing streak. Yeah, really that's the 225 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: way they show. This shows that the Rams game was 226 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: an exception to the rule. To me, that's what it 227 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: seems like. You know, this this is us And there's 228 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: only been really two exceptions to the rule. Two exceptions 229 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: the Rams game and the first philadelph first Philadelphia game. 230 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: And that's what drives fans crazy is that you watch 231 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 1: them play like that and you say, why can't they 232 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: do that all the time? Because they're capable of it. 233 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: But at some point, when you're seven and eight, you're 234 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: not capable of doing it consistently. That's just who you are. 235 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: And Zeke said something interesting after the game. He was asked, 236 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: I think about losing to a team you're better than 237 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: when when you're expected to be in the super Bowl 238 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: and people expect that from and Zeke flat out said, 239 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,319 Speaker 1: how can you say that they won the game? They 240 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: played better when it counted, Like, I think we're better, 241 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: but we didn't show it, and we haven't showed it 242 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: really all year. Yea, on a consistent basis, we are. 243 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: We are who everyone said we'd beat. Yeah, I mean 244 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: that's where we are right now. Even if we win 245 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: next week, you know, which I look forward to us doing, 246 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: we'll probably come out and do all the things that 247 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: we couldn't do in Philly and all the other games 248 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: that we thought we could do it and then we're 249 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 1: gonna back into possibly possibly back into the playoffs. And 250 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: I wouldn't even feel comfortable making it. We don't deserve 251 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: the playoffs. And of course if you make it, you 252 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: make it. Like you said, you know, how can you 253 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: say that, you know, if we keep getting beat how 254 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: can you say they would deserve to be in the 255 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: playoffs the way they've time and time again underachieved that. 256 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: That's to me, that's the question. How do you feel 257 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: going to the playoffs if you're still the same team. Yeah, 258 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 1: especially if you back in, because even if you take 259 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: care you have it, you got to sit there and say, oh, 260 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback Daniel Jones, can you help us out here 261 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: a little bit? Because we need you to beat the Eagles, 262 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,559 Speaker 1: which is not out of the question. It's not out 263 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: of the question. They've been sneaking by all the what 264 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: they've won now what well? They got to play in 265 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: New York. They got a garbage touched down at the 266 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 1: end against Washington, Otherwise they would have won that by 267 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: three points. They beat Cowboys by eight, and they had 268 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: to go into overtime to beat the Giants the week before. 269 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: My biggest fear is that we will make it. That's 270 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: my biggest fear that Okay, here we are glooming Dome. 271 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: Then then you're gonna play Then Philly will go in 272 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: after all this emotion and probably going in later. So 273 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: you play a team that lost Arizona yesterday, yeah, or 274 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: a team that lost to the Atlanta last week at home. 275 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: Go figure out a team were lost Arizona at home yesterday, 276 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: or a team that lost because both teams to achieve. 277 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: That's what's crazy about this. If you back into this thing, 278 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: you have a home playoff game against team that haven't 279 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: necessarily played a yeah. I mean, the division round is 280 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: not out of the possibility. But that's what's so insane 281 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: about this this season. I can't think of a season 282 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: like this one where I'd be embarrassed to win. I 283 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: would I'd be embarrassed to win the first playoff game. 284 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just you take your hat home, 285 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: you know, I'd be parading up and down the street. 286 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: But now it's it would just add to the confusion 287 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: of what do we do next year? I mean, we'll 288 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: always we have to look forward to next year. You 289 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: got two games, hopefully two games left. What do you 290 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: do that we're gonna go through this again the entire 291 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: off season. Okay, I mean probably Dak would get his money, 292 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: you know exactly, that would be comfortable there. What do 293 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: we go through this again? Huh? I just what this 294 00:15:55,480 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: to me? What Philadelphia did without three starting wide receivers 295 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: in there and then managed to get enough points and 296 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: by the way, zach Ertz got hurt too. By the 297 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: way it came back in the kid missed like a 298 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: dozen snaps. They end up they hunt up with four 299 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty one yards. Think about what they would 300 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 1: have been saying if they lost the game, because four 301 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty one yards and translated to seventeen point 302 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty five in the first quarter something 303 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, where And they were thrown to their 304 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: wide receivers in the first quarter. J j R. Segoeside 305 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: hadn't kind of passed in a month, and he catches 306 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: two in the first drive of the game and the 307 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: rest of the day, the like we were cold, what 308 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: we looked like, we were stiff, and they just looked 309 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: like they were ready. They looked like they've been sitting 310 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: in front of a fireplace. We looked like we've been 311 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: sitting outside in the cold, you know. And it's the 312 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: weird thing is but when when they out fox you 313 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: and things they did, it looks like, wow, we came 314 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: out with no energy. Well then how do you get 315 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: energy after you get down ten to nothing? You know, 316 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: I don't get that. They just had an offensive plan 317 00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: or early the Cowboys couldn't handle and then they didn't 318 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: handle it the rest of the way. When they said, okay, 319 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,719 Speaker 1: we're just gonna throw the tight ends when it was 320 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,880 Speaker 1: what was its second it was its second in goal 321 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: on the touchdown pass to god Her, I sat there 322 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: and I said, this was going to the tight end. Well, 323 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: how many times was there's that little cushion in the 324 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: middle underneath the middle of the field where they're giving 325 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: him eight yards. That's the same play. Score. Yeah, when 326 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: they score, we give up that same play. Every time 327 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 1: you influence the linebacker, you've got the safety over the top. 328 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: All they do is bring both guys inside running back 329 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 1: here linebacker has to make a decision. They influence him 330 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: up short and then there's that skinny post by the sea. 331 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: Can't the linebacker can't drop fast enough.

He's been good for three weeks. He was 335 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: good in the first game against this team too.

When he'd 405 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 1: see me, he'd come and pick me up off the ground. 406 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: And I would tell Charles, you can do and you 407 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: could smack me in the face, do not pick me 408 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: up off the right. So we decided we're gonna let 409 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: him pick me up one more time. So you kind 410 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 1: of cradled me like a babe. Yes, yes, we have 411 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:38,400 Speaker 1: very good sitting on I mean Nicky sitting on Santa's 412 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: lap right there, so someone can take that and photoshop 413 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 1: it and picked up but that he slaps me in 414 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,120 Speaker 1: the hit the time. He said, well, finally he quit 415 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: picking me up and slaps in the face. Yeah, Okay, 416 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:03,360 Speaker 1: um specifics yesterday a thing, any specific plays anything. Yep. 417 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: Rob's just nodding his head in agreement. Stands out that 418 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 1: you're ready to well guess guess, yeah, guess what I'm 419 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 1: wondering about. Okay, that last last play, last play offense. Okay, 420 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 1: Mariy Cooper and Mark Cooper wasn't in the game for 421 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: certain plays down the stretch. But you don't have a 422 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: Mariy Cooper or Randall Cobb in the game with essentially 423 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: your season on the line, thoughts. I mean, anybody's surprised 424 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 1: by that Cooper played forty six snaps in the game 425 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 1: out of sixty two sixty two. Ye, Well, the body 426 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: length was bad, first of all. I mean, it just 427 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: seemed like he didn't want to be out there initially. 428 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: Of course, passes could have been better, by the way, 429 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 1: and just and you're making a great point, but I 430 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: also want to point out Zeke played sixty out of 431 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: sixty two plays. The only place he was not on 432 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: the field. Were those two back to back rungs by 433 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: Pollard For people talking about Zeke's got to be in 434 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,640 Speaker 1: the game, Well, he was out there for sixty out 435 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: of sixty two places and he was making a difference. Yeah, 436 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: so ahead thought we were coming back by the way 437 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: he tapped out on that too, right, he did right, 438 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,120 Speaker 1: He took himself out right, he got banged up right, 439 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: and he had very Yeah, he had six catches for 440 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,439 Speaker 1: about fifty yards on that. We were doing everything we 441 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: wanted to do with Zeke. Yes, I thought that was 442 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: very doing the comeback with throwing to him. We're running 443 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: the ball once again. I thought the offensive line played 444 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,640 Speaker 1: well except for a few plays which were obviously very 445 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: crucial to us. But go ahead on him all you know. 446 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: It ain't good on Fox by the way of showing 447 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: when he hit his head on the ground, somebody, I 448 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: don't know who would have seen that. That big that 449 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: was You could see if you could see his eyes, 450 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,479 Speaker 1: but you'll see he was dazed a little. But I 451 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: get why people thought maybe he tapped out because he 452 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 1: had six touches already on that drive. Took a little 453 00:24:55,680 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 1: bit of a break. But third and one with the 454 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: wide receivers at the time, because as you can see 455 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: doing the game, everyone was just blown you Philly defense, 456 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 1: Cowboys offense. I'm thinking, well, the only reason Cooper's not 457 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 1: in him because he's been running routed up the route, 458 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 1: off the route, and I'm thinking, okay, just just bad timing. 459 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: But now COB's not in as well, which is another guy. Well, 460 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: we finally realize, Okay, Coop's kind of whatever issues he's having, 461 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: We're going to Cob. Cop catches a few and cops like, 462 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: come to me, he got him down in that situation. 463 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 1: Come to me. I'm ready. I'm the guy now, Okay, 464 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: nobody's working in That's what you brought me here for. 465 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,640 Speaker 1: So the play they called, basically it was two tight ends. 466 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,400 Speaker 1: They had two tight ends and two receivers on that 467 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 1: fourth down play. And I think what they were trying 468 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,360 Speaker 1: to do with Tavon on the outside with his speed, 469 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: maybe they thought, Okay, the safety's gonna shade over three 470 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 1: and the desks and the tight ends took up the 471 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 1: middle of the field, so they got gallop one. I mean, 472 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: the play worked. He didn't throw the pass, and that's 473 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 1: and that's kind of what Jason spoke to on the 474 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,360 Speaker 1: fan this morning, was that the twelve personnel and they 475 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 1: they had an opportunity there. But aren't you surprised though 476 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: that in that situation with the game on the line, 477 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 1: those guys, aren't you why Cooper to throw it or 478 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 1: Cooper over there? But it wasn't like gall of acathing. 479 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: That was advocate guys. I mean, we had Cooper in 480 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: the game the whole time. They weren't successful, so then okay, 481 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 1: if it doesn't work, it said, well, he hasn't been 482 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: playing with the crap all game anyway, so why not 483 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 1: try somebody else? But then you say, well, Cob would 484 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 1: have been in that game. That's what got me was 485 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 1: that both of them are out of the game. Both 486 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 1: of them again that very well, that's the player and 487 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 1: why and all of a sudden get in touches? I 488 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: mean nothing on table, But why, all of a sudden 489 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 1: is he in this game in this crucial moment. He 490 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 1: and Dak Except for last week when the guy fell down, 491 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: he and Dak has never had a connection. My guess 492 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: is because they saw they were getting so much single 493 00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: coverage that he was the one guy that could run 494 00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: by everybody, and they were hoping that's what was and 495 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: it did right. You overthrew him by five yards. He 496 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 1: was white. That's a walk in touchdown, right, So that 497 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,239 Speaker 1: was I think their gamble because they were getting so 498 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 1: much man coverage and if you could you, I don't 499 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: you know, you can't see it on TV. Yeah, but 500 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: the safety single safety high almost every free play, Jeffree 501 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: play when you when you asked me what about the game, 502 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: that was where I was headed. Uh, with cooping and 503 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: and and Cobb not in the game. That didn't help. 504 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 1: But no, this is Dacks to me, his worst game 505 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 1: in over a year. I'm not sure he saw things 506 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,400 Speaker 1: well either well to that point, Um, and I texted 507 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: you the video of the two plays bothered me. And 508 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,439 Speaker 1: I'll go to the offensive play first. It was the 509 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,400 Speaker 1: third and four in the fourth quarter, in the deep 510 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: ball to gallop. In that situation, you're at the let 511 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: me make sure I've got it here, you're at the 512 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 1: thirty one yard line. And on the next okay, they 513 00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: went in complete. It was forty nine yard field goal 514 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: at four. We're back. You obviously you cannot take a 515 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: sack in this situation because you've got the field goal. Okay, 516 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: you're down seventeen six field goal made at seventeen nine. 517 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 1: But on that play, there's basically go route to gallop. Okay, 518 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 1: And if you go back and look at that play, 519 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,959 Speaker 1: Randall Cobb lines up on the slot on the left side, 520 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 1: Whitten his inside him, he comes off basically is like 521 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: a rub By Whitten. No one's covering Cob on a 522 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: crossing route across the middle. Zeke lined up in the 523 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: slot on the right side. Zeke runs across the opposite 524 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: direction and Randall Cobb comes wide open. If if Dak 525 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: just holds it for a split second longer, Cob is 526 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: wide open. And he probably never was. He he was going, 527 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,479 Speaker 1: he knew where he was going. Yeah, and again in 528 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: his defense, you can't take a sack, okay, I understand that, 529 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: And but he did have time and in hindsight, he 530 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 1: did have time to get it to Cobb if he 531 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: was looking for Cobb. And I think that's what the 532 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: play was designed for when you look at the routes, 533 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: I mean, it was designed to get in his head. 534 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 1: It was he was immediately supposed. He never even hesitated, right, 535 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 1: And see it wasn't just a shoulder doesn't account for 536 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 1: your pocket presence. I don't think he had good pocket 537 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: presence at all. He seemed extremely uncomfortable. He seemed hesitant 538 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: even when it was collapsing. It's like, well, what do 539 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: I do? Now? Do I do? I'm gonna just stand here. 540 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 1: Every decision that he tried to make, it seemed to 541 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: be a beat too late. That's why. That's kind of 542 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 1: what we talked about. But a lot of this that's 543 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: when they lose. That's how they played. They're always a 544 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: beat too late. They weren't beaten man coverage consistently either. 545 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,600 Speaker 1: That those guys that Jay was locked on those guys. 546 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: He was emphatic about that. Jason app not emphatic, but 547 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: made clear about trying to stop the run game, and 548 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: we weren't efficient enough taking advantage. They were daring us 549 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: to beat them in the passing game down there were 550 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: times when they had the overall view. Nobody was over no. Yeah, 551 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: I mean they were armed them and he's got and 552 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: the wide receivers are looking like, okay, I'm good, I 553 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,959 Speaker 1: ran my route. You saw no scramble moves. You just 554 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 1: saw them standing there after the initial move. I mean, 555 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: who was the leading receiver? Um Zeke seven catch catch 556 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: seven catches ninety yard yeah, yeah, five, and he had 557 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 1: another one right he lost it. I don't know if 558 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: that's the drop. This one is clearly a Drop's best pass. 559 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, tip for Tich, Now you 560 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 1: dropped my pass. It's like it's going back and forth 561 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 1: with his receivers. Coop drops one, he throws him, and 562 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: then then he throws the crapping them clapping the coop. 563 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: Gallop catches one, drops one, and then he come on. 564 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: It's just there's three passes there could have. Each one 565 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: of them is one the Tavon, the last one to 566 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: Gallop and that one to go. Those games like we played, 567 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: you could all pick out that made the difference. It's 568 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: not execution. You want to blame it on coaching. Okay, fine, 569 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 1: the other play you asked about other plays, the Big 570 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: Past Award, they got him their last touchdown. They blew 571 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: the coverage right. Somehow some Wayne is looking for help. 572 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 1: They put they put the two wide receivers to the 573 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: right and they lined Malcolm Smith in the slot on 574 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: the white. Now, they can't expect him to run the 575 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: entire field with that wide receipt the way he played 576 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: like that, he settled down. So I'm not sure. I'm 577 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: not sure what should have happened. Because Jordan Lewis was 578 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: the corner over there. He locked on, He locked on, locked, 579 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: and if he didn't lock on, that guy's wide open. 580 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: By the way, it didn't so in the safety was 581 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 1: single high and he they had the other safety Heath 582 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 1: they were on the other side. I think Ernst was 583 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 1: over there. Uh, and they ended up doubling Earnest and 584 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 1: with Iron Jones, and it's like, okay, well, what was 585 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 1: this guy supposed to do? You couldn't expect him to 586 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: run forty yards down field with the wide receiver, but 587 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 1: the safety was so high he couldn't get there. How 588 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: much respect do we have for we put Biling Jones 589 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: on it? Oh? Yeah, yeah, put zones and even so 590 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: it was that was twelve personnel. Yeah, they had they 591 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: put their two wide receivers on the right side. And 592 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 1: when we're able to scheme it to where the linebacker 593 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 1: then was covering a wide receiver, that means that it 594 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: is a zone. Got to be zone. It's got to 595 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: be zone coverage because why the cornerback is not coming 596 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: over exactly with the two wide receivers right, So, so 597 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: why tell me why? And I see this all the 598 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 1: time and I never understand it. And somebody explained to me, 599 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 1: when you put two wide receivers to one side, what's 600 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 1: the other corner doing on the other side doing nothing? 601 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:50,959 Speaker 1: He's supposed to be in the slot coming over if 602 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: it's if it's man to man, if it's he stays over, 603 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 1: he stays up. But why why leave him over there? 604 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you put him on the in the slot 605 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: because they're not expect that right now? The depending on 606 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 1: the yard and uh, you know, the down in the yardage. 607 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: If they're playing run, then I still have to have 608 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 1: my safety over here in run situation because you asked 609 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 1: you asked about Okay, Jordan Lewis locked on the wide receiver. 610 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: I don't remember which wide receiver was. It went across 611 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: the middle. Well, that safety would have taken him. But 612 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 1: but Jordan Lewis took the took the receiver. Defensive personnel. 613 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 1: Was it regular? It was regular because Malcolm Smith was 614 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: on the field. Everybody standard. Yeah, because it was Malcolm 615 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: didn't That's who was on the field. If if the zone, 616 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: if it's his zone call, and the cornerback stays over, 617 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: then he's the force on the on the week side, 618 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 1: he's the force on the tighten side. And if it's 619 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 1: his zone, then obviously he's gonna be the deep third, 620 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 1: or depending on what the call is, he's gonna be 621 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: deep third. That's a flat depending on what the call is. 622 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if they should have if the if 623 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 1: the cornerback didn't come over, then there's no reason for 624 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 1: the other corner to lock on to the wide receiver 625 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 1: outside he was in that post, rat would be the 626 00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 1: safety woods jacko into the stay unless he goes shallow 627 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 1: across right sat, then you want to hit the post 628 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 1: with somebody else coming down the other side. Yeah, because 629 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 1: the running back Jalen Smith took the running back lead. Yeah. 630 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: At the last minute, Lee's yelling at her get over there. General.

So he was the best 676 00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 1: one every time, all right, and you gotta applause from 677 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:37,919 Speaker 1: Douglas Barriklow, who just appeared out of his cubby hole 678 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 1: over there. All right. The other play that I want 679 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 1: to get to is the play on the goal line 680 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:48,360 Speaker 1: where Sanders scored the touchdown to give the Eagles the 681 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,839 Speaker 1: seventeen touched after the play we just talked about, right 682 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,360 Speaker 1: after the right after after the ward play. Okay, so 683 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 1: they got down third and goal at the one. Jalen 684 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 1: Smith on the previous play made a great stop along 685 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,799 Speaker 1: with Xavier Woods on Sanders, okay, to stop him at 686 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,839 Speaker 1: the one. Now forced a third and goal at the one. 687 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,320 Speaker 1: All right. Eagles had two tight ends on the field 688 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 1: for almost all day long, right, Mickey, Yes, they did 689 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,799 Speaker 1: not have two tight ends on the field for this play. 690 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,800 Speaker 1: They went three wide and the Cowboys went Nickel exactly 691 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,560 Speaker 1: good on the goal line and he went right up 692 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:26,400 Speaker 1: the gut and they went right up to gut and 693 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:30,439 Speaker 1: Jalen Smith, your middle linebacker is lined up at right 694 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:36,880 Speaker 1: defensive end, a wide nine right defensive end. I'm thinking 695 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:44,120 Speaker 1: that they were concerned with the well Shawn Lee had 696 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,280 Speaker 1: the tight end. Shaun Lee's lined up to the right side. 697 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 1: He's got Goddard. Okay, but I'm thinking they were concerned 698 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,640 Speaker 1: about the quarterback run on that, and so that's that's 699 00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,319 Speaker 1: the only reason that I can think that they would 700 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 1: have Smith lined up as a defensive Did you think 701 00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 1: what did you think they thought he was going to 702 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 1: run exactly the middle? Still? Well, and that's the other thing. 703 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,840 Speaker 1: When the when the running back, Okay, when you're running 704 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 1: that read option as a quarterback with a running back 705 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:13,320 Speaker 1: lined up on the right side, the quarterbacks not running 706 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,640 Speaker 1: to the left side where Jalen Smith is lined up. 707 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:17,840 Speaker 1: If he's gonna keep he's gonna read it, he's gonna 708 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,440 Speaker 1: put the ball in the belly on the back, and 709 00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,480 Speaker 1: he's gonna take off on the right side where DeMarcus 710 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,719 Speaker 1: Lawrence was. I have no idea what they were doing 711 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:29,840 Speaker 1: defensively on that. And on the middle of the crushed 712 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 1: they crushed the middle the nose Covington got bl right 713 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,239 Speaker 1: out it. Well, it almost seems as if he stepped 714 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:41,520 Speaker 1: that way initially. Yeah, he held out. Yeah, And as 715 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:45,320 Speaker 1: if someone as we's called a tango, someone would tango 716 00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:50,200 Speaker 1: into the hole. I saw Sean Lee looking there that beat. 717 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,400 Speaker 1: He had got it, and you can't have got it 718 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 1: on the running play, right, you gotta have got it 719 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,760 Speaker 1: on the passing play, right on the running play. That's 720 00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,279 Speaker 1: his Well, I don't know if that's here. I just 721 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,480 Speaker 1: think when I saw that, that's all I could say. Well, 722 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,839 Speaker 1: number one, I just don't see how you can you 723 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 1: can go nickel on the one yard line in a 724 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,919 Speaker 1: goal line situation like that, have a safety, take that wide, 725 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,239 Speaker 1: receive that extra wide receiver. You can. He gotta have 726 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:19,200 Speaker 1: the middle line nickel and still have a middle linebacker 727 00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,759 Speaker 1: in right. You can, yeah, because all you gotta do 728 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,080 Speaker 1: is Jalen instead of lining up at right defensive end, 729 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 1: line up as a middle linebacker. Now you have. I 730 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,879 Speaker 1: thought they were going to call a quarterback run. That's 731 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:33,480 Speaker 1: what I was waiting for. And they had that defended. Well, 732 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,399 Speaker 1: they had that defended because the defensive line there were 733 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:41,200 Speaker 1: four defensive linemen and then Jalen was the fifth. They 734 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,520 Speaker 1: were shaded to that side where the to the running 735 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:49,160 Speaker 1: back side. Okay, and so if if Wentz was gonna 736 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,920 Speaker 1: keep they had the manpower over they had. They were 737 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 1: not outnumbered right defensively, we were not outnumbering in that 738 00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,200 Speaker 1: if he's going right, which he has really no choice 739 00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,279 Speaker 1: because the back is the exactly so he has to 740 00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 1: fake it right, right, right. So but I just don't 741 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,480 Speaker 1: understand why you don't have a middle linebacker in there 742 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,600 Speaker 1: on on a goal line, third and goal. That's good, Yeah, 743 00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,000 Speaker 1: that's a good question. I would think that Wentz saw 744 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,200 Speaker 1: the alignment and he may have had a pass play 745 00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,640 Speaker 1: called or something and he saw the alignment and said, no, 746 00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:16,719 Speaker 1: we're giving it to you right up the gut. I 747 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,200 Speaker 1: saw Cheeto was lined up out wide in the corner, right. 748 00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:20,839 Speaker 1: I thought that maybe they were gonna go jump all 749 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,799 Speaker 1: because they were going after Cheeto in the game, right, 750 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,120 Speaker 1: But you're right. The middle was why I won't ask 751 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,240 Speaker 1: him enough that they yanked him and put Jordan Lewis 752 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,480 Speaker 1: out there in the base defense. And that was why 753 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,600 Speaker 1: I was. I was gonna why was Jordan Lewis in 754 00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 1: the game. That was gonna be my question when we 755 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,120 Speaker 1: talked about the wheel route. So that was not Nickel personnel. 756 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,759 Speaker 1: That's why I asked you. What was Jordan was in? 757 00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:46,399 Speaker 1: After second maybe the second or third possession, he got 758 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 1: benched and he would only come in on Nickel, so 759 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:52,320 Speaker 1: he did continue to play. So it's not the injury. Then, No, no, 760 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,319 Speaker 1: come in on Nickel and he went back to his 761 00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:59,120 Speaker 1: left corner. So I want, I want, I want the 762 00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,360 Speaker 1: guy that tweeted it out a long time ago about 763 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,320 Speaker 1: me picking on Jordan Lewis that when I said sometimes 764 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:09,440 Speaker 1: he gets lost, and he tweeted, he tweeted me and 765 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,719 Speaker 1: included Jordan Lewis on it. We'll go ahead and tweet again, 766 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:19,360 Speaker 1: big boys. Merry Christmas we got would you like to 767 00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,160 Speaker 1: receive a merry Christmas?
