10
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: and it feels like the weeks are just racing by.

11
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: And part of it has to do I think with

12
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving week, went back to back Thursday games certainly had

13
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: a lot to do with, right, and then even just myself, Okay,

14
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving week and then I went to New Orleans for

15
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: the game last week, and so those two weeks raced by,

16
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: and now here it is and I'm my Christmas Day shopping,

17
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,479

Speaker 1: like the day after Thanksgiving. Yeah, that's well. Know, all

23
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: the hard part is get bringing the boxes down from

24
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: the attic. Yeah, that's that's she was on it. I

25
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: didn't have to do it. No, no, what I was.

26
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: I didn't have to do it. I was shocked and

27
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: like right there, I'm like, oh, I need to go

28
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: out of town often. Yeah, where do you store your boxes?

29
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: I need to know? And how many boxes do you have?

30
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: Not only about four? Oh? Just for no, the hard

31
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: parts taking the tree down, because then you got to

32
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: put everything back away. It's not half of it, no, no,

33
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: because yeah, you take too much care with it, wrap

34
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: it up and throw it in the claws. Yeah all right,

35
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: So here we are and not everybody is back to

36
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: the Star in Frisco, but we are back to the Star. Yes. Yes,

37
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: How did Landry Award go? It went very well last night.

38
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: We in the past and what the Landry Award is

39
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: for those who are not in the area, it's this

40
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: is the twelfth year we've done it. It's in partnership

41
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,839
Speaker 1: with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. The Landry Award goes

42
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: to the top high school football player in North Texas

43
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: and U and as the coach of the year as well.

44
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: That's right, And it was five finalists and unfortunately we

45
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: had to do it by zoom again this year. We

46
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: did it virtually, but we we did get them, the

47
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: five finalists together right out here at the Star last Sunday.

48
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: I'd made it a little more special this year, h

49
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: And we got their parents. What I really like about

50
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: it is we've got the parents talking about the kids,

51
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: and the parents get all emotional talk about especially for

52
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: these kids, they're all seniors. Yeah, and so for any

53
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: for any parent who's had a child who's left the nest,

54
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: you know, and it's sometimes it's the dad that's the

55
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: one that gets emotional, and sometimes it's the mom. In

56
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: this case, the winner of the Landry Award, Josh Hoover,

57
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: made news yesterday. He committed to TCU yesterday rock Wall

58
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: Heath High School quarterback and so he had committed to

59
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: Indiana and they had fired their offensive coordinator, so he

60
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: reopened his recruiting. So he commits, he commits to TCU yesterday.

61
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: Ever happened in Indiana, Well, he was one of those

62
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: late bloomers. In fact, there were two Rockwall quarterbacks. The

63
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: rock Wall High School quarterback who set the Class six

64
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: A record for career passing yardage, Braden Locke, who's going

65
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: to Mississippi State. I think Dak Prescott had something to

66
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: do with it, but he was also one of the finalists. Whatever.

67
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: But anyway, it was that Josh's dad, Uh he got

68
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: emotional talking about him. Uh and uh, it was really

69
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: it was. And so I saw that for the first

70
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: time and then I'm supposed to come back on on camera.

71
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: After I see him getting emotional, I'm like, I'm starting

72
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: to tear up myself. And so anyway, it was fun.

73
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: Which coach which coach was the Coach of the Year

74
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: was from Chris Beam Where did you go to high schoolage?

75
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 1: Colleville Heritage coach Mark kirk martin Colleville Heritage High School,

76
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: who spent a number of years, like twelve years at

77
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: Manville High School And in fact, this brings him back

78
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: to the Cowboys. He was the head coach at Manville

79
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: High School when Highland Park and John Stephen Jones Stephen Jones'

80
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: son Jerry Jones grandson won a state championship game in

81
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: what I still say is the greatest football game I

82
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: have ever seen. In fact, you saw the did you

83
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: see the Baylor Oklahoma State Big twelve Championship. The game

84
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: came down to the last play of the game where

85
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: and it was at AT and T Stadium. I think

86
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: it was the same corner of the end zone I'm

87
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: about to tell you about the high school state championship game.

88
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: You know, the Oklahoma State running back gets caught just

89
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: inches shy of the pylon by the Baylor dB. All right,

90
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: that game against Highland Park. It went back and forth.

91
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: John Stephen Jones played an unbelievable game for Highland Park.

92
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: And by the way, he's a past winner of the

93
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: Landry Award. And by the way, second finalist was with

94
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: Spencer Sanders, the Oklahoma State quarterback playing in that game.

95
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: But anyway, they played against Manville in the state championship

96
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: game that same corner of the end zone at at

97
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: and T Stadium. Manville throws a pass and the guys

98
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: running for a touchdown he got caught at the one

99
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: yard line on the last play of the game. Remember

100
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: that that kept them from from matching what John Stephen

101
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: had done. It just dawned on me. I believe it's

102
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: the same corner of the end zone at eighteen. It wasn't,

103
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: but in my mind it was because it couldn't matter.

104
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: Chris now, but this this entire season, you know, because

105
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: they all coming back. It's been a great season at

106
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: all levels, all levels. I'm loving that. I heard about

107
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: the South old Cliffe algo game, but big time upset. Yeah,

108
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: South Cliff Altho never gets beat and South Olcliffe is

109
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: usually that team that's in there, and you know, they

110
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: usually kind of and they about the state quarterfinal round

111
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: they lose. They won in the state quarterfinals over love

112
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: Joy this week and so they are in the state semifinals.

113
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: It's the first time since the nineteen fifth. Martin is

114
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: looking down right now. Dallas I s d smiled down

115
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: as a shot at winning a state championship. They gotta

116
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,799
Speaker 1: win two more games and Dallas Carter won in nineteen

117
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: eighty eight and um, and of course that was taken away.

118
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: Took it away. Yeah, So so who do they have

119
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,799
Speaker 1: to play a good question. We'll move on to cowboy

120
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: talk now. No guyers, no guyers. In six A Division two,

121
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: I can't remember who South O Cliff's playing. But we'll

122
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: move on, William. Let's talk about Cowboys. Yeah, well, cowboy talk.

123
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: Let's go and talk. They're playing Cooper. They're playing love

124
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: Ack Cooper. By the way, thank you out in Loveock,

125
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: who are shouting at your podcast right now? And the

126
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: Cowboys are playing Washingtons right And Mickey wrote a book

127
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: about this rivalry. He needs to write another book now.

128
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: That was a twenty years ago and a while since

129
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: this game is rivalry hasn't been hasn't meant anything since

130
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: you wrote the book. I think best rivalry in sports

131
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: really sixteen the game was critical, I think when they

132
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: met late in the season, and then twenty was at

133
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: twelve or thirteen when they met for the division title.

134
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: But it's been a while since these games have meant something. Um.

135
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: They certainly used to in the seventies and then the

136
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: early eighties personally seventies and eighties. Yeah, especially when wreath

137
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: into the seventy nine and then the early nineties, the

138
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,559
Speaker 1: first part of the nineties because the Redskins were still

139
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: winning and were the Redskins Okay, uh, they won the

140
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowl that ninety one season, and as a matter

141
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: of fact, it was the Cowboys. That probably kept them

142
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: from being undefeated that year, because they were undefeated until

143
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys beat them in game twelve to twenty one,

144
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: and then they lost the last game of the season

145
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: because they didn't matter, so they finished fourteen and two.

146
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: Was that the on side kickstart second half? It was,

147
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: and it was the hall Mary to end the first half,

148
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: the first one that Troy Aikman ever completed too, by

149
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: the way, as the Hall Mary, because after the game,

150
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: I could remember him saying, it's like, yeah, every time

151
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: they call us throw a hill Mary, it's like, well,

152
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 1: there goes my quarterback rating because it's going to get intercepted, right.

153
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,719
Speaker 1: These things never work, and this one worked and then

154
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 1: he got hurt. Steve Burline comes in, finishes the game,

155
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: and Michael Irvin caught what would be the u turned

156
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: out to be the winning touchdown, beating Darryl Green corner

157
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: of the end zone. A couple of Hall of Famer saying, yes,

158
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 1: absolutely it was. It was a really good game. And

159
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: it was up there too, by the way, and Dale

160
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: Green out all the time, and then it was one

161
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: of those things that Achilles heal, Yeah, yeah, yeah, it

162
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: was a it was a really really good game. And

163
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: I've told the story before and I'll say it again

164
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: since I'm proud of it. Was the last time I

165
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: predicted a score and it came out right? Was the

166
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: sEH yeah, because you've been blowing them on pick for

167
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: quick Yeah, just fyi there and my good Fred Dale

168
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: had said on Wednesday said we didn't need to watch

169
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: the game. All you need to do is read the Times.

170
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: Harold and Mickey would have told you what the score was. Oh,

171
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 1: you got a reputation now. And the pick to click

172
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: was Michael Irvine by the way, you know what you go.

173
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 1: Who's the only person who remembers that me? That's right.

174
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: That's the thing about the all our predictions. The only

175
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 1: person that remembers predictions is yourself. We went over yesterday

176
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: and I said, we would have if we would put

177
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 1: us all together, we would have been a damn good

178
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: pick to click. Yeah, we all we all missed it

179
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: in one way or the other. We were close, but

180
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: no cigars. So I said, the only one that remembers

181
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: their picks is yourself. Well, I don't remember my pick.

182
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: You don't know now because it was way off. Okay, yeah,

183
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: forty something to whatever. I don't know. It wasn't. I

184
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: thought I would. I thought, I said, twenty seven seventy.

185
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: Right here, guys, what in twenty seven seventeen, seven seventeen

186
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: Bill Jones was? It was about sixteen thirteen. Okay, and

187
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: you said d Law would be the pick to click guy,

188
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 1: and so you got that point. I got that, right.

189
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: What did y'all have favorite? I had Prescott? And I

190
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: think my score was was it was twenty four sixteen.

191
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: So come on, but okay, pick the click? Who got

192
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: the better pick the click? I had Dak Prescott, I

193
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: said he didn't. He didn't get it with three. He

194
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 1: said gallup. The Spags had Gallop. His score was twenty

195
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 1: three twenty. Yeah, yeah, so don't if I don't get

196
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: the interception, I think I think the caveat on mine

197
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: was that I did not expect for I said, I

198
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: think for the snaps he would have in the game,

199
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: he wouldn't have an impact. But it wasn't it. It

200
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: didn't take a genius to figure that out when you

201
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: considered that the Saints didn't have their offensive tackles. Yeah,

202
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: so yeah, you were every one of us. We were close.

203
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna pick Michael Parsons every week from that

204
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna pick that, just say that. Okay,

205
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: I'll just drop it down to two fifty. There you go,

206
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: there you go. All right, Um, so you gotta what

207
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: update you have for us here? Well, by the way,

208
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: what I would like to get into today, And of

209
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: course Mike Apple watch doesn't work because my phone updated today,

210
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: and that's another story to get that in. Got the rant,

211
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: that's a half a rant I would like to get

212
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: into in the second segment, what is the identity of

213
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: this Cowboys offense? But bring us up to see maybe

214
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: what we need to know. Maybe it should be run

215
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: the ball sixty eight out of seventy two plays, right, Well,

216
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 1: we'll set up the next segment with that. Well, we're

217
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: gonna set up the next segment with that. So it

218
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: sounds like Mike McCarthy. As soon as he'll be back

219
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: in the building is Thursday. That's when his ten days

220
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 1: are up. So evidently he hasn't tested negative twice within

221
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: twenty four hours yet. So Thursday is ten days and

222
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 1: we'll see if he's back in the building. My understanding

223
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: is the strength and conditioning staff should be good to go.

224
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: The offensive line coaches, Joe Philbin, Jeff blastco should be

225
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: good to go. We haven't heard any more positive tests.

226
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: We'll find out more. I guess Michael do his virtual

227
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: press conference tomorrow. Dan Quinn sounded and Jerry sounded very

228
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: hopeful that Neville Gallimore would be back, that Randy Gregory

229
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: has a chance to be back, and Terrence Steele should

230
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: be back from COVID. So it looks like they're going

231
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: to be possibly as healthy as they've been. And I

232
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: thought the the best nugget from dan Quinn yesterday was

233
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 1: he said, we're certainly will certainly be looking forward to

234
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: getting Randy and Mike gun in Law all together. He said,

235
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: if you would have told me at the beginning of

236
00:13:55,160 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 1: the year that those three guys going into Week fourteen

237
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: would have only played twenty eight snaps together, he said,

238
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have believed you. So that's all those three

239
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: guys have played four naps. He didn't say the part

240
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: about yeah, n B eight and four. But think about it,

241
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: because those snaps basically came in the season opener right

242
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: where they all three. Because Randy Gregory started the season right,

243
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: he wasn't well, they would have been yeah, because Lawrence

244
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: missed every game until Thursday, right, and so going into

245
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: that game, um, and then and he played I believe

246
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: it was thirty seven snaps on Thursday, but Randy Gregory

247
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: wasn't playing, So yeah, you have to go back to

248
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: that season opener. Remember they could him on a pitch

249
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: count because he didn't play the previous year, right, Uh,

250
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: and then came back missed the was rehabbing, I mean,

251
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: didn't miss the previous year, but Parsons obviously wasn't here.

252
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, so get those three guys back on the

253
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: field together, and just think of the different things you

254
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: can do playing those guys. You know, you can have

255
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: Gregory and Lawrence at defensive end, mica at linebacker. You

256
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: can go to Nickel and have Micah the left defensive

257
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: end and move to Marcus Lawrence inside as a pass

258
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: rushing defensive tackle. You can stand up Gregory and Parsons

259
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: in the middle of a four man line and they

260
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: could be the two guys that they were using standing up.

261
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: So there's so many different things they can do if

262
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: they can get all three back on the field together.

263
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: Before we go, When you think about the season opener

264
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: and we had everyone and you look at the defense now,

265
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: they're better now. Yes, even with you know, being depleted

266
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: from with certain personnel, were still a better defense than

267
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: we were opening night. That's kind and that was kind

268
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: of Quinn's point on that is because because so many

269
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: people have had to play, what was it thirty three

270
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: different players who have played on defense. Yes, they because

271
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: so many have played, they're in a better position now

272
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: than it had they not had the attrition and they

273
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: could be more versatile, right, And you got guys that

274
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: had been pressed into duty and now they know that

275
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: what they can do and that they're they're in the

276
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: system basically, although that were gods now and Spags always

277
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: talks about the next man up being kind of, you know,

278
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: as good as but in this regard, we have seen

279
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: players step up who are not as good as the

280
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: starters and still make a hell of an impact. Right,

281
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, in that regard, you can Although the shocking

282
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: thing I noticed on the defense was they came out

283
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: of the Atlantic game, uh, fifteenth in total defense. They

284
00:16:54,480 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: have fallen to twenty seven. Now, wow, that is and

285
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: that was the Atlanta and that was a game against

286
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: Kansas City where it was a nineteen to nine game right, Okay,

287
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: wasn't like them talking total yards? Yeah, so they were fifteenth.

288
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: They're twenty seventh now and twenty eighth against the pass

289
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: because they've given up those big raiders that had that

290
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: sounds so a whole bunch. Yeah, big, big, big play.

291
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: Got to get you to make your plays, but you

292
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: give up the play, right, yeah? Absolutely all right? When

293
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 1: we come back on mix shots, what is the identity

294
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: of this football team and could they win a game

295
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 1: throwing three passes? When we come back, Hey Cowboys fans,

340
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: think of that Monday night game? Last night? I saw

341
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: a story, I think it was before the game that

342
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bill's ownership is trying to get past whatever

343
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 1: to get a new stadium, and they kind of wanted

344
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: to build it in Orchard Park or whatever. And I've

345
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: got one sex suggestion for him. A roof. Okay, you're

346
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. I was riding in listening to a radio

347
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: show and they mentioned your name. They said that this

348
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 1: was your dome a roof. There is no other they're

349
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 1: talking about you and some other mickey, no other sport

350
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: that plays in fifty to fifty mile an hour wind. Right,

351
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: the poor dropped the ball to kick it and itn't

352
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 1: moved and he shanked it. Yeah, remember Icago bears, Yes, right,

353
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: a roof. You're in Buffalo. There's a lake there. It's

354
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: the same by Chicago there. So here's the deal. You

355
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: know how they all talk about that's home field advantage. Well,

356
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 1: home fields down right, because their quarterback got neutered, couldn't

357
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: throw the ball, and they decided all we're gonna do

358
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 1: is run the ball. See if you can stop one

359
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: of these days. Goodness gracious, he might have been able

360
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: to do. You know, you might with the roof. You

361
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 1: might have scored two touchdowns and could have won the game.

362
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: They're gonna there's gonna be a b match two weeks

363
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 1: from Yes, you're right. I love to see how that

364
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: turns out. Because as much as the weather still gonna

365
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: be bad because there's new England I'm gonna be playing

366
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: New England not nearly as bad as Buffalo, let's just

367
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: face it, most likely, and I would love to see

368
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: how this game comes out and how Josh Allen would play.

369
00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 1: And maybe you don't miss a field goal when all

370
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: of a sudd and the ball takes but boom, wow, seriously,

371
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: get a roof. Okay, Cowboys have just played the first

372
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: of three straight road games. The first one was under

373
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: a roof in New Orleans. They did okay there, Okay.

374
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: Now playing at Washington. Have they built a roof in Washington?

375
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: They have not. Have they built one at the Meadowlands?

376
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: Because that's the following we definitely not. No, it'll be

377
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: cold and the wind will blow. Let's still, you know,

378
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 1: you don't usually get snow and fifty mile an hour

379
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: gusts of winds at twenty three. Now, what the giants

380
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 1: would do? I think they said they would open up

381
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: the gates of something and allow the wind to come

382
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: through when they used to do at the Old State.

383
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: That's what they said they would do. I didn't see it. Yeah,

384
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: that's what they said they would do, and it would somehow,

385
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: I always blow the opposition those doors all of a

386
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: sudden would raise the end. There you go. I'm looking

387
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: at the forecast for Landover Maryland on Sunday on Saturday,

388
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: eighty percent chance of rain, high of seventy two Sunday,

389
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: a low of thirty four, a high of fifty five

390
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:16,199
Speaker 1: and partly cloudy. So just wonderful. Okay, bring in the

391
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: NFC East. I think the worst team with the worst

392
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: weather consistently was the Giants. Yes, rookie you I think

393
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 1: it was Winshield thirteen degrees or something like that. There

394
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: was overtime over time thirteen degrees below. Come on, there

395
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 1: were some cold ones in Philadelphia, that's true. Now. I

396
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: missed the one in eighty because that that's supposed to

397
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: be one of the cold games they played for the

398
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 1: play a little of Montgomery playoff games. No one Cowboys

399
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: wanted to play in higher cold. I heard that was

400
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: least the theory. And of course, the last game of

401
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: the year is at Philadelphia, so that of these last

402
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 1: five games, you've got three on the road in what

403
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 1: could be um less than ideal weather situation. The old

404
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: vet the press by used to be they would have

405
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,199
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia writers in a box to the left in

406
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: the middle was the radio broadcast, and then to the

407
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 1: right was where the visiting media was, as if we

408
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 1: were visiting, right, It's like we're not the visitors. And

409
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: at the end of the press box there was a

410
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: huge window that they would take out so the TV

411
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: camera could be on the high on the sideline. And

412
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: it didn't matter what the weather was, that window came out, right,

413
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: and we're sitting in there one year and it's twenty

414
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: some degrees and you know, you came dressed to be

415
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: indoors in the press box, right, Wow, we might as

416
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: well been sitting in the stands, right. And I remember,

417
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: I remember the cameraman was getting just at Randy. Randy

418
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: Galloway just shouted at him one time, can't you just

419
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: shut that window? And then after the game, media guys,

420
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: y'all can be on the auoy. Sometimes after the game

421
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: they wouldn't put the window back in. They would just

422
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: leave it out. So then you had to go find

423
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 1: somewhere to write so you weren't freezing, because it's hard

424
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: to type when you've got gloves on, right, And it

425
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: was just miserable, just absolutely miserable. And the other thing

426
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,959
Speaker 1: that when we would complain about it's October and it's cold.

427
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: It's like, why don't you put the windows in? Oh?

428
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: The park District runs this and they have a rule

429
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: about when the windows back up, right, Yeah, give me

430
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,719
Speaker 1: a break, it's cold. Put the windows up, all right.

431
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 1: So Mac Jones was two of three passing for nineteen yards.

432
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: Is the Patriots beat Bills fourteen to ten the snowplow

433
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 1: game in nineteen eighty two. December nineteen eighty two, Patriots

434
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,479
Speaker 1: beat the Dolphins three to nothing. Steve Grogan was two

435
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 1: of five for thirteen yards. At least threw it five times. Yeah,

436
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: he threw it five times. Jones only threw it three times.

437
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 1: That was the worst. I mean, come on, that's like

438
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 1: being in the flood. But it's snow right, because it

439
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: wasn't they It wasn't just that it was packed. It

440
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 1: was fluffy. It looked like it was about that high.

441
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 1: Look about six inches off to you. I mean, come on,

442
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: you don't know why, you don't know where you're stepping.

443
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: And here comes the guy on the little snowblower or whatever. Okay,

444
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: let's get the line here. So the next con I mean,

445
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: you can't write this down right, So yes, the makeup

446
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: of this Cowboys team. The identity of this Cowboys offense

447
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: right now? Could they win a game in those conditions?

448
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: Not the way this offensive line's blocking of late um,

449
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: So it has the identity of this team. This offense

450
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: changed from the six game win streak to where it

451
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 1: is right now. Well, the identity of the team changed

452
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: because they were basically averaging thirty some points a game.

453
00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: And if you look at the last six games, only

454
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: twice if they scored more than thirty well, yeah, twice

455
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 1: more than thirty points, thirty three and the overtime loss

456
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: to the Raiders, and forty was at forty one, about

457
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: forty three against Atlanta. Everything else in the last six

458
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: when they've gone three and three has been twenty sixteen, nine,

459
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: twenty seven. And yeah that's the three games. So yeah,

460
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 1: they're not scoring, they're not moving the football the way

461
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: they used to, and they've got to hope that getting

462
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: their receivers back, getting this offensive line and some sort

463
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 1: of continuity back gets them moving the football once again.

464
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: All Right, I'm gonna put the name out there, Kinna Williams. Yes,

465
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 1: how a thing's been going since Connor has been on

466
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: the bench, less holding calls, but not as well consistently

467
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: blocking I think at that position. To me, so what

468
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: were we talking about with McGovern then is he what

469
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: we thought he was or is he that backup or

470
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: that is he truly the next guy up? Yeah? Yeah?

471
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: And I and to me, at this point, if you

472
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: look at the production and the ability to run the football,

473
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: and I know everybody wants to talk about Zeke and

474
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,239
Speaker 1: the injury, but you know what he's getting met at

475
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 1: the liners. He is getting met at with this stuff

476
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: that well before he was pushing the pile four yards,

477
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 1: well before there was a little you know, they negated

478
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: the rush you know from me from the defensive line

479
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: before there was movement on the offensive line. There is

480
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: no more movement. And we talked about it the other day.

481
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if you will hear Bill. They are

482
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: escaping from our our linement, the defensive lineman. They are

483
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: not our offensive lineman, not holding their blocks nearly long enough,

484
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: and they are coming uh directly at our running backs

485
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: with with with no one in their way. And and

486
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: the fact was unabated did I use it unabated? It's

487
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: good could go. That's how they come out to spell it.

488
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: But but and then and then here's the other problem

489
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: when when you you played what, uh a game and

490
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: a half, two games without your top two wide receivers

491
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: and your other one had just come back and played,

492
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: and now you're looks like, I don't know if the

493
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: routes are right or what. But now the passing game,

494
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: he's not getting protected very well. You're getting drop passes.

495
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: And Jerry pointed out when you look at some of this,

496
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: look at some of the routes they're running, like how

497
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: precise are they because that affects the quarterback to do so, Yeah,

498
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: it's just if you couldn't block up front. And that

499
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: was that was when when Kellen Moore was starting to

500
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: talk about the stuff yesterday about the offense. Uh, you

501
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: know he was talking about uh, I guess the question

502
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: was they they were struggling on third down and I

503
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: think they were two of thirte against the Saints. And

504
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,239
Speaker 1: then he said it's important to have continuity on the

505
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: offensive line and throughout our offense to get ourselves going.

506
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: The more these guys are together, the more we practice,

507
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: get back to traditional week for the next weeks, all

508
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: that stuff's going to piece together and give us an

509
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: opportunity to get going. We just have to launch into

510
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: this December football. And then when it went to well

511
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: you're with these third downs, he's saying, well, yeah, here's

512
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: the best way to get third downs converted. Do better

513
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: on first and second down. And they were having trouble

514
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: running the first down. So now, But when you look

515
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: at it, it does also affect the way that Kellen

516
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: Moore caused the plays because he looks like a genius

517
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: when everything's working right, when when the defensive when offensive

518
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: line is working well, and everybody's gone, all the personnel

519
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: is there, everything is looking good, and he is a genius.

520
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: But I want to see that guy bring us out

521
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: of this doldrum right while we're having issues. While while

522
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: we're having these problems, I want that offensive coordinator ignite something,

523
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: create a play, create offensive line blocking schemes like you

524
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: saw with the Patriots last night. They were in a

525
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: trap plate. Were the last time the Cowboys were in

526
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: a trap plate? I mean, the trap play is amazing,

527
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: and you need someone with a quick hitter that's gonna

528
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: get up the middle. If you're gonna do it with anybody,

529
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: of course, you might think Polock. But if you want

530
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: to open up something for Zeke, get him a trap

531
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: play and get him up in there to where he

532
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: can have some daylight to run up. And if you

533
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: look at at at at the game at New Orleans,

534
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: that first possession they ended up third and ten, Well,

535
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: what do you think happened? Well, they didn't convert him right.

536
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: The second possession they were third and three and they

537
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: threw a little dump pass outside and they gained two yards.

538
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: The next possession they did pick up a third and seven,

539
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: and then the next possession they ended up going for

540
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: it on fourth and eight. So they were getting into

541
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: those situations where that they you know, you have to

542
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: the next possession. After that, they did pick up a

543
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: first down, but it was they picked him up on

544
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: second down. And then it got to third and nine. Well,

545
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: what do you think those Saints did? They blitched and

546
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: then you end up kicking a field goals. So let's

547
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: let's look at the next possession, third and seven. So

548
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: they kept going in in these long third downs and

549
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: that's not conducive to picking him up on a regular basis. Yeah,

550
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: I mean, when you when you have problems like that,

551
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: you have to look at what the quarterbacks doing or

552
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: at least trying to do. You have to protect him.

553
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: And the one thing I like about what he's not doing.

554
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: The old Dak would have tried to throw something in there,

555
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: you know, and they usually would have gotten picked off.

556
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: You know, he's been throwing. Like I said, the last

557
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: three possessions were a mystery to me on how all

558
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: of a sudden he wasn't able to complete passes because

559
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: before that he was on. But when you when you

560
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: see how he played later on, he could. He could

561
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: have in so many third down situations tried to force

562
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: an interception in there, because let's face it, the Saints

563
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: had some damn good coverage. There were not many open

564
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: receivers there, and you know there were times when you

565
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: saw Dak just to it in there. Anyway, besides those

566
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: last three possessions, I thought he was just really accurate

567
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: in regards to how he played. All Right, we continue

Speaker 1: was I supposed to be? Almost I just I spoke

613
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: one one word, one syllable too song Atlanta. All right,

614
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: what do we have left here? We got about seven

615
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: minutes left on mix shots? All right? Ever since since

616
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 1: you brought up the last few possessions of the game,

617
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: that's what I wanted to bring up. And it was

618
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: it was kind of on the heels of what I

619
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: was talking about, the identity of this team. And it

620
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: concerns me about this team if when they have a

621
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: twenty to ten lead in the fourth quarter, especially against

622
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 1: a team like New or well against any team, but

623
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: again in this game against the only way New Orleans

624
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,439
Speaker 1: is going to be able to get back in that

625
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 1: game is if you cough it up and give them

626
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 1: good feel position or they get a you know, pick

627
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: six or something like that. All right, So the Cowboys

628
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: get the ball back with eight fifty seven left in

629
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 1: the game at their own thirty two yard line. First down,

630
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: they ran it to Zeke for three yards at second

631
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: and seven, then incomplete pass, and then on third and

632
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: seven it was the interception by Marshawn Lattimore and before

633
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: that play, it was like the offense was frantic at

634
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, you know, the play clocks going down,

635
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: and it was was CD's waving and you know, like

636
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,399
Speaker 1: he's doesn't know what the play is and Dad, he's

637
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 1: trying to pass it on to the outside. Right. The

638
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 1: noise is crazy out there, okay, And so and I

639
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 1: thought to myself, they're acting like they're behind twenty to

640
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: ten instead of ahead twenty to ten. And then Dak

641
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,280
Speaker 1: throws a pass that was ill advised and he admitted

642
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: afterwards and interception. Okay. So on that possession he got

643
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: hit in the face, by the way. So on that possession,

644
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 1: the Cowboys were at ran fifty two seconds off the clock.

645
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: They had one run, two passes, all right, So then

646
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill gives them the ball back the Kaz interception.

647
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: Cowboys have it at the twenty six yard line with

648
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: six twenty four left. They run Pollard for five. Okay,

649
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: no problem with that, incomplete, incomplete punt, and they ran

650
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: a minute four off the clock there. So the Oneans

651
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: gets the ball back with five to twenty left, and

652
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: then they gave it back to the Cowboys with another interception.

653
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: But my concern is, at that point in the game,

654
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:35,399
Speaker 1: you're ahead twenty to ten, I'm in favor if if

655
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 1: Zeke's hurt, whatever you don't want to, I'm in favor

656
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 1: of taking a knee three times, run two minutes off

657
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: the clock, and then give it back to them and

658
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: then next time, and they got to use their timeouts eventually.

659
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: I'm being facetious there, but run the ball. And the

660
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: reason they didn't because they couldn't. And I guarantee you

661
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 1: that factored in, and think about it. That's why I

662
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: know I don't care whether they can't run it or not.

663
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: I got at that point take time off the But

664
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: they finished rushing twenty four for one forty six. Well,

665
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 1: out of that one forty six was two plays and

666
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: one was kind of a pass play anyway, thirty three yards.

667
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: So they had ninety one yards on two plays and

668
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 1: twenty and in twenty two plays they had fifty five yards.

669
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:30,720
Speaker 1: And concern, my concern, take it out of that game.

670
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 1: When we're talking about the final five games of this season.

671
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: You got three of them, and who knows what the

672
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 1: weather is gonna be. You gotta be able to run

673
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 1: the football in December and I'm not talking about the

674
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: game plan strategy run versus pass, but there's a certain

675
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 1: time in the game where you got a twenty ten

676
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 1: lead in the fourth. Every year you have to be

677
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:54,320
Speaker 1: able run that football and gets in the game. Guess

678
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: what they were facing the third rank rush defense in

679
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:01,919
Speaker 1: the league in New Orleans, and guess Washington now has

680
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: the third rush defense. So now you still have the

681
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 1: same problem. But earlier in the season this offense seemed

682
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: to have that same identity that it basically had Zeke's

683
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 1: rookie year, where and Zeke was running like he was

684
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: his rookie season earlier in the season. Clearly he's not now,

685
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: and so I think the identity of this offense has

686
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: changed right now. And we've talked about a lot of

687
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 1: the reasons why maybe it has changed. But I think

688
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 1: down the stretch of this season, you got to get

689
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 1: back to that. If you can, maybe they can't get that.

690
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: I've told you, guys, I don't know how many times

691
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:45,359
Speaker 1: you gotta keep running expecting it to break and it did.

692
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: You understand the system in that regard it worked. This

693
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 1: is a game that you needed to win by hooker Cook.

694
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 1: I think we talked about this yesterday's bags. You gotta

695
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: win ugly. That was an ugly win. It's okay to

696
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: win ugly in those situations down there where you had

697
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 1: the loud crowd. You know, you could have easily this

698
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: guy's running all over the place, Taysom Hill, you could

699
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 1: have easily just done something stupid offensively more often instead

700
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 1: of just the one in the sex. She could have

701
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 1: had more than one. Could they had strip sex. There's

702
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: so many things that could have happened, but they didn't

703
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: because we did at that moment stick to the plan.

704
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 1: We have to keep running the ball, so to go

705
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: away from it when it's truly time, that to me

706
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: did not make anything. And then in the ideal offense

707
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 1: is an offense that can win either way either okay,

708
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: where you can win passing the ball or you can

709
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 1: win running the football, depending on the strength of the opposition,

710
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 1: what the weather conditions are, any of that stuff. When

711
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 1: you look at those Cowboys teams from the nineties, they

712
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: could win either way. They could throw it or they

713
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: could run it. Well, they're not running it well right,

714
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: and running it more doesn't mean it's going to be

715
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: more effective. And everybody's like, well, you know, you got

716
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: to use Pollard more well. He had one carry for

717
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: fifty eight, he had six carries for thirteen. They're just

718
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:08,399
Speaker 1: not creasing anybody at this point. And Jerry and even

719
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: Jerry and his radio interview today talked about the offensive line.

720
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 1: They need more continuity, they need uh you know, and

721
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 1: thinking now, what are they now? What are they going

722
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: to do this week? Is Leal Collins you're starting right tackle?

723
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 1: Or are you going back to Terren Steele now on

724
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: the depth chart for in the release at Terren Steele

725
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 1: at right tackle, But it sounded like when Jerry talked

726
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: this morning, and he was being careful not to give

727
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: away secrets, but he basically said, both guys are going

728
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: to play, so to me, judging from what how Kellen

729
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: Moore answered the question on Monday about the mac attack

730
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,840
Speaker 1: when they use Connor McGovern as a fullback or second

731
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: tight end, it sounded like one of those tackles and

732
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: maybe Terren Steele plays the blocking tight end position to

733
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:03,439
Speaker 1: help with the blocking when they go to tight ends.

734
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna see if it plays out that way

735
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,800
Speaker 1: or not to try to help this running game because

736
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 1: you go to tight ends and you're thinking, well, but

737
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:17,800
Speaker 1: neither one of those guys are big blockers, right McEwen H.

738
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: Schultz Um, you know they don't get much from the

739
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: other guys. Springer um, so shelt reception, his receiving prowess

740
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 1: has really improved, but his blocking has gone still. Still, yeah,

741
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 1: it's worse. Okay, when coming into the season, who are

742
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:42,800
Speaker 1: the starting offensive lineman, well, who are their preferred five

743
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:47,720
Speaker 1: coming into the seas Smith's Williams. Beyond this Martin, Martin

744
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,919
Speaker 1: and Collins and Collins. Okay, then Collins got the five

745
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,280
Speaker 1: games suspension, right, So the same way we talk about

746
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 1: the wide receivers, not having those three wide receivers together,

747
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: they haven't had the same the five. Even if you

748
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 1: you trade out Williams with McGovern, they haven't had the

749
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 1: five offensive linemen in there on a consistent basis. I

750
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: don't have time to go through how many games they've

751
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: had that. They didn't even have it in the first

752
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: game because Zach Martin was out. I don't know that

753
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: they've had it all season long, that they've had the

754
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 1: five really that they won out there because then Collins

755
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:25,320
Speaker 1: came back from his suspension and he was not starting

756
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 1: the first game back and then Smith went out for

757
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: three games. I'm just going through it right now, and

758
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 1: then you had Steele miss in the last game. Even

759
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,760
Speaker 1: if you decided that Steele was the guy instead of Collins,

760
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: I don't know that they've had a game this season

761
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:39,839
Speaker 1: where they've had the five that they really prefer out

762
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 1: there at the same time. So here are the starters

763
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: they started the season, and you're right because McGovern started

764
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:51,439
Speaker 1: at right guard for Zack Martin who was out right

765
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: the next game, steel Cats to come in for Lal

766
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: Collins because the suspension started, and then after that it

767
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 1: was kind of the same for looks like I mean,

768
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: if if your preferred right tackle is Lyle Collins, then

769
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 1: they have not had a game this season that they've

770
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: had the five that they prefer out they had they

771
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,839
Speaker 1: had the one oh no, because the one game when

772
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: they had Collins at right tackle and Connor Williams still

773
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 1: at left guard, Steele was at left tackle right Tyran

774
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: was out, and then the next game, Steele is at

775
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:34,320
Speaker 1: left tackle, the next game, Steele is at left tackle,

776
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: then Tyrn returns, now McGovern's at left tackle, Steals at

777
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 1: right tackle, and then the next game McGovern it's Smith McGovern,

778
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 1: Beardist Martin and Collins at right tackle. And so so

779
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 1: they've been re right now it's coming off this the

780
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 1: mini bye week. Okay, all right, they have all of them.

781
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: When Steel gets back here, they've got the option of

782
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 1: whether they go with Collins. They've got everybody back now, right, right, right,

783
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 1: And so I think the key to establishing that continuity

784
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 1: is having these guys back and hopefully we don't find

785
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: out something right when we get off the air like

786
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: we dorbally do, and they can then have their five,

787
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 1: whichever five they want to pick. They've got him available

788
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 1: for this stretcher. But one of the key things is

789
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: are they convinced that McGovern's better at left guard? They

790
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 1: are not than Connor Willim That's what. And the three

791
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 1: games that he started it was a plus because there

792
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: was less holding calls, and some of those Williams holding

793
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 1: calls I think they were Frans call. He got targeted. Yes, right,

794
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: they said, all right, we were watching it. We didn't

795
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: replace him necessarily because he wasn't playing well right, only

796
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 1: because he was being talking. They were trying to save

797
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 1: the holdings, so they saved the holding calls. But I

798
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 1: don't know that McGovern's playing. I think what this offense

799
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: needs more than anything is I'm on task. You know

800
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 1: what this office need. That defense better keep giving them

801
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 1: opportunities to score. Okay, you hold them off long enough,

802
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 1: then you can break those pology routes of those plays

803
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 1: and those CD LAMB play. You just keep on defensively

804
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 1: giving them the ball back and you guys can play

805
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:19,800
Speaker 1: complimentary football until the end of the season, which hopefully

806
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 1: but even but even like with the receivers, they haven't

807
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:24,840
Speaker 1: had the all the receivers out there. The practice schedule

808
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: has been way off kilter the last three weeks, and

809
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:35,319
Speaker 1: excuses were raced with four interceptions, right, you understand, right,

810
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 1: So that's my point. The defense has to play and

811
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 1: give them chances. And every team that's winning ugly, that

812
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 1: defense is keeping them in the game. And the other

813
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 1: part of it is that those are erased if everybody

814
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 1: gets back from COVID and are healthy and can be

815
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: out on the field for practice and stuff, exactly because

816
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,319
Speaker 1: they haven't had that either. Because if you look at

817
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 1: that short week after the Sunday game in Kansas City,

818
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 1: you know you basically got one practice in and then

819
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 1: COVID hit after Thanksgiving and they gave him time off,

820
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: and then it hit the beginning of the week and

821
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 1: they basically got in for some reason. The Cowboys can't

822
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: fall back on those excuses. I know everyone else can,

823
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: but we cannot. So just to be clear, and during

824
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 1: this four game winning streak for the Washington's, I can't

825
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 1: keep saying the football team. They're the Washington's. Okay, they've

826
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: given up nineteen, twenty one, fifteen and fifteen, and they've

827
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: won the last two games seventeen playing at home and

828
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,399
Speaker 1: at home. And it's a big game. And it's not

829
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 1: like they're scoring a bunch of points, although they did.

830
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 1: They did against the Bucks. They put twenty nine against

831
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,439
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. Go figure. How big is this game? We'll

832
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:49,920
Speaker 1: talk about it the rest of the week. But if

833
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys win, they got a three game lead. If

834
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: they lose, they got a one game lead. And for

835
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 1: more on that, join us tomorrow on mix Shots. Did
