Because it was okay, 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:37.720 you know, little super Bowl cruise, black man on boats 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:40.720 cross the ocean not quite my thing. You know, where 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:44.040 were you? Never ends? Well? Where are you cruising? We 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:49.720 went to East Caribbean, uh, not pointing, but Dominican Republic. Uh. 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:52.160 And of course the first stop I love was the 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:55.720 Grand Turks. Oh really yeah, yeah, I was shaking hands 0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:59.720 with the fishes. They were cool. You can see him clearly. 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:03.960 They talking to me, coaxing me out to the deep ocean. 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:07.160 I had to come back. It's fine, man, very good. Fine. 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:12.359 I thought about you guys, not once. That's good. You 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.040 should not once. I think about you. Nick you where 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:18.040 were you last week? I was in Colorado's skiing. That's right, 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:25.120 that's right, yep, that shave sense? Yeah, following me right, man, 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:28.080 there's a little Shannon. Channon had the best line here. 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:30.400 About five minutes ago. He saw me and he saw 0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:34.800 the beard, and he goes, oh, your beard matches your shirt, dude, 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:39.399 there's a little bit more white than that beard. Every still, well, yeah, 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.760 and I won't be there testing are you protesting the 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:46.000 product that you're sponsor me? It won't be there for long. 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:49.560 This is his pre Blitz beard. Once the Blitz comes 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:53.200 back on TV. Okay, he shaves, but he looks very distinguished. 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:57.840 He needs to keep February, so it may go by 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:00.200 the end of the week. I'm not sure. All I 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.200 have to do is work out once and sweat and 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:09.440 it's like, okay, I'm gonna tranquilize you in shaving myself. Well, 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:12.919 anything happened since we last convene? Less well for Robin 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:16.960 I last. I'm trying to think, Yeah, we talked. Notice 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:18.919 I've got my super Bowl cap. On the road to 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:22.640 the super Bowl starts now. Dallas won the super Bowl, right, 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:24.679 super Bowl that Dallas did wear the super Bowl. That 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:28.240 was dad joke prediction in past week. Ye. And by 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:31.680 the way, this is my CBS super Bowl cap. Next 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:35.760 year's Super Bowl is back on CBS in Tampa. Tampa. 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:40.320 Great moments for me. I'll be there, Yeah, a few 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:43.520 but still tamp Do they have enough hotels? No? I 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:46.040 didn't think so, because the last time I covered the 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:52.080 Super Bowl there, we ended up staying about ten fifteen 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:55.000 miles north of the city. You were blessed. Yeah, that 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.960 was good. That's and it was one of those hotels 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:00.920 where the door opens on to the to walk away 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:05.120 through it's raining hard, then put the towel down in 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.320 from that was a strange trip. So you have a 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:10.800 pretty good memory from that Super Bowl. I do I do. 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:15.920 First thing I did was dice and I we got there, like, 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:17.920 hey man, forget these guys. They've been to the Super 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:20.680 Bowl before. Let's go check this out. Man. We went 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:24.080 to the stadium. You know, it was closed, of course, 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.760 it was like got like eight o'clock at night, maybe later, 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.039 and I talked to Guarden to letting us on the field, 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:32.360 and you know, we went out there and just started 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:36.000 just reminiscing. Man, you know, like, hey man, we finally 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:39.040 made it here. We were on a sorry Dallas Cowboys 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:43.720 team and years was two and fourteen last year. I 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.240 went through that season and then the one in fifteen, 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:51.440 three and three and three and thirteen, and we had 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:54.160 four games, about four games and two years. Yeah, and 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:56.440 then all of a sudden, you know, here we are. 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:58.920 And he had gotten there first. So you know, we're 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.400 just realizing just how unless we were to be where 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.040 we were. And he just looked at me and said, 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:07.640 hey man, don't you screw this up? Okay, So what 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:10.800 are what are the Kansas City Chiefs feeling right now? Man? 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:13.680 They're feeling so good. They're feeling so good, especially after 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:19.080 fifty years of not even being in a Super Bowl, 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:22.200 and now here you are. Not only did you win it, 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:27.040 you went you wanted with what second African American quarterback 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:31.120 in history, right on the heels of God, the long 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:35.840 heels of Doug Williams. And then you had a comeback. 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:39.360 You both came in comeback fashion. Doug had to come 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:42.760 from behind against the Broncos in a major second quarter 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:45.719 of like four touchdowns and Timmy Smith running all over 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:49.120 the place. Timmy Smith, I remember that guy. Oh. I 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:52.560 was there when he tomorrow's national signing Day. I was 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:55.400 there in Hobbes, New Mexico, and Timmy Smith signed his 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:58.160 letter of intent with Texas Tech Us. Now were not 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:05.000 to be Hobbs with Mexico. And go back to the 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:14.880 beginning of football, and we'll see Bill sitting there leather 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.960 helmets or no helmets. And Timmy Smith, by the way, 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:25.440 we're talking Cowboys, he was at Dallas cow here's the 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:29.640 story about Timmy Smith. Okay, Timmy Smith did not have 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:32.840 an academic scholarship to Texas Tech. Okay, Okay, it was 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:36.520 definitely a football scholarship, all right. Well, when he was 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:38.760 with the Cowboys, my brother in law who's a Texas 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:41.520 Tech grad. Okay, it was. He was down in Austin 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.920 at training camp. He was just uh, guests for the 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:47.520 day whatever, and so he's sitting there watching the running backs. 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.280 He wanted to check out his Texas Tech guy, Timmy Smith. Well, 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:54.280 Joe Brodsky's a running backs coach, and my brother in law, 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:56.920 Billy Breedlove to this day, still tells the story, says, 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:00.560 I can just remember that coach barking it Timmy Smith 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:05.640 saying Timmy, this is your left and this is your right, 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:13.120 almost Super Bowl MVP, right, and disrespecting him. And that 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:16.360 was after he had played in the Super Bowl too, exactly. Yeah, 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:20.280 we had one of those running backs in high school. Oh, 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:22.480 we've had a bunch of running backs like that here 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:25.200 and not just had to take here, had to take 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:29.640 which was which? All right? So what was your takeaway 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:32.760 from the Super Bowl? I think, speaking of my homes 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:34.880 was he not? I think I saw this stat the 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:40.120 first quarterback ever to overcome three straight double digit deficits 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:43.760 in the playoffs on the way to the Super Bowl. Interesting. 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:45.280 I think I think I saw that. I think you 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:48.840 didn't make sense. It's incredible. It's increat he has something 0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:50.760 else and he's twenty four years I think he has 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:54.240 thirty six starts in his NFL career, and he's a 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:57.520 Super Bowl MVP already, And the thought is this is 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:00.160 the first of many, but this is always like the 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:03.320 first take reaction the day after the last couple of years. Oh, 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:05.840 the Eagles are built for the long haul or the rams, 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.840 or they'll be back. Aaron Rodgers hadn't been back in 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:12.120 ten years, so you just never know, so you got 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:14.080 to take care of your opportunities. When you got him, 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:16.400 I thought it was just so weird because you've got 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:22.200 a player that really, I thought was an average defense 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:25.840 and you don't really win in the Super Bowl with 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:29.920 an average defense unless you're quarterback in your offense is 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:33.000 really clicking. And for them to be able to overcome 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:39.600 that lack of defensive assistance and with twenty four year 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:43.480 old that to me, that that that's what really spoke 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:45.800 volumes for me in the Super Bowl was just how 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:48.800 much poise he had in one of the games where 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:53.400 most people just choke and even down ten, Okay, you're 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:55.719 down ten with seven minutes left in the game and 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:59.320 you're facing third and fifteen. I was how at least 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:03.079 he opened? How is he How do you let that happen? 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.520 How is he open? He's wide open. He's not just open. 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:11.160 But that's when you realize, as a safety, you'd better 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:15.400 have some cornerback skills, because that was especially drawn up 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:20.240 for that safety to attack it isolated one right away. 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:24.400 Here he's thinking he's comfortable fifteen yards back in his 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:27.800 in his position, in his lineup. As the ball snap, 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:31.520 that gap was closed on him so fast and now 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:35.079 here he is isolated basically one on one coverage. I 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.040 think it was an option route. If he would have 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:39.640 covered him to the outside, they were gonna throw the post. 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:43.679 He covered him to the inside. And what pressure that 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.800 that guy failed at that time? Thank god, thank god. 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:50.520 The past wasn't that good. Otherwise he was running with 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:53.559 it and and he got and Mahomes got hit. He 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:57.160 was after he delivered. That's the thing with Mahomes. Mahomes 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.280 has such a strong arm. You know, he's starting the 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:01.640 shotgun and he he dropping further back, and it just 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:05.360 by being having a strong enough arm where he can 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:08.640 throw that pass. And when he got strength, that was 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:12.200 timing as well. Yeah, because he didn't wait to throw 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:15.160 a hard he had he knew when to throw a hard, 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:18.440 so you he knew as he was retreating, the best 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:20.960 time for me to throw this is now or never, 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:23.800 because he has a strong arm all you want. If 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:26.719 it's not on time, then he's still gonna be picked off. 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:30.880 And so fluttered up there. That's why Tyreek had to 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:34.120 wait for it to wait. But that's how wide open 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:38.120 he was ye to trade. So what about the corner underneath? Okay, 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:43.080 he took the um the underneath guy and uh there 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:45.800 there was some criticism on him that he should have dropped, 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:47.480 but I don't know what coverage they were. Well, it 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:50.280 was thirty fifteen, So yeah, you need to go. You 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:53.280 need to start back. Mentally, you need to start back 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:56.120 and then work your way up. Prioritize why and he 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:59.320 could I don't think mentally he was at the sticks, 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:02.439 so he was you know, they ran and who he 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:06.120 was taking. He ran across almost a bunch route mentality 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:09.160 had one across, one out, and of course you had 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:11.719 the iso from the guy in the middle, and so he, 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:13.679 like you said, we could have gone either way. But 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:16.000 they designed it. They designed it where they could be 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:18.480 isolated on that safety. So if it whether it's in 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:21.160 man to man or zone, the safety is now in 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.800 the man to man position. Cornerback is the one with 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:26.439 the least amount of pressure on him. So yes, it 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:29.320 would have helped if he could have dropped back, played 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:33.599 more conservatively third and fifteen and that flutter, Yeah, that 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:36.520 would be away for him to make the play, probably 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:40.920 of his entire career. That's why the Chiefs deep I'm sorry, 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:46.720 that's why the Chiefs of the Ninets defense is known 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:49.040 for being the best defense in the league. They don't 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:52.400 make those mistakes in the seasons. Why the Super Bowl 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:55.520 creates pressures, as you know, best pass defense in the 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:59.280 league and make a simple mistake like that on third 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.640 and fifteen, and that's that's when it's made to make tunnel. 0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:06.000 Oh right, I was salivating when it was thirty fifteen. 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:08.440 I might get a duck. Just give me a duck. 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:10.679 I'm going to pick it off. That was one four 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:13.240 and then they didn't take advantage of it. Best quarterback 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:16.720 in the league, one out, best best pass defense. Because 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:20.600 of that front, they put pressure on quarterbacks and then 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:23.040 all of a sudden, in the last seven or eight 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:26.439 minutes they couldn't get to him. But for three and 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:29.679 a half quarters they that's why they were struggling. You know, 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:31.800 I kept hearing, well, my home's not playing well. No, 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.000 he's not playing well because he's running for his life 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:38.680 too many times, and they would get they were coming 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:41.599 after him. Yeah, they couldn't get to him. Right, So 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.240 that's the difference. He was able to make the escape. 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:48.120 That's when the quarterbacks escapability, that's when that X factor 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:51.480 becomes very important doing the game like this. But then 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:55.640 the Kansas City defense steps up. Where did that come from? Right? 0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:58.319 Last last day in the league? Now, last day I 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:01.640 supposed to be the best by the way I saw 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:05.840 this quote from Andy Reid. It was Monday morning after 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:09.720 the game. He goes, this is our first year with Spags. 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:14.720 He's a creative mind as anybody I've seen. So I'm 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:24.600 cousin Steve right, that's right. Well, mister Walls was one 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:26.800 of the fastest people in the world. Is it ever soon? 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:31.400 A hooky? Kay? You know I was coming back from 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:34.319 the past, rob you know of herky Walls right over 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:36.880 my head. Okay, you only explained to everyone else who 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:40.800 herkey is. Well, my second cousin, and he was God 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:43.120 could have made the Olympic team. I think that's what 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:46.360 I remember. He was left fourth in the Olympic trials 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:51.960 behind Carl Lewis. The entire Houston track team beat him. 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:56.440 Lee Burrell Bwell was second, Herky Walls was in first 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:59.040 place in the two hundred meters and boy, they sucked 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:02.880 him up like this one. The baby drawed him. But 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:07.200 he was almost there. Oh man, Texas, he's a long horn. 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:13.240 His nineteen his senior year in nineteen eighty I believe 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:19.840 he scored eleven touchdowns for the long Lost Bias. Eighty 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:22.520 two was his last year. I'm looking at his Wikipedia now. 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:25.760 He was a seventh round draft pick the Oilers in 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:29.280 nineteen eighty three. I had to guard him in preseason. Yeah, 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:32.680 he had me too. One Moon missed him. You guys 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:36.480 playing Olympic speed huh? You guys played at Philadelphia. It 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:40.440 was around eighty five, eighty six, somewhere in there. And 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:45.600 my other cousin, Spagnola, the tight end for the Eagles. 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:48.160 He was having a big day the first half. Yes, 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:52.200 you remember him, Yes, And so just so happened. Our 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:54.680 sports editor was on the trip with us, and he 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:58.920 comes up to me at halftime, he goes, okay, Philadelphia wins. 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:02.080 We're gonna have your name in the headline and the byeline. 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:04.880 You do a story on that night. And he came 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:08.480 back and won the game. Spoiled my opportunity to have 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:11.040 my name in a headline. Can I give you another 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:15.040 little tidbit on Horkey Walls. It's a lot of Southwest 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:19.920 Texas Indoor Track and Field Championship in nineteen eighty, finished 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:24.280 first ahead of Curtis Dickey and Carl Lewis in the 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:28.000 sixty yard days.

Used to 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:15.159 watch that one, it was on Wide World of Sports. No, 0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:17.960 the bull riding, I did not. It was a great 0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:20.680 I did too, Yeah, I did, just to see people 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:22.959 fall and get her. I mean we were young at 0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:27.080 the time. Nobody there was nothing when we were at 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:28.840 that age. All right, you got anything else on the 0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:34.440 Super Bowl? You want to move on to the Cowboys? Um, yeah, 0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:38.160 let's move Did your team win? Who picked? I picked 0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:39.840 the Chiefs at the beginning of the season. Did you 0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:44.960 did you? He's lying? I know you picked out I 0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:48.040 know you picked the real Dallas team, right. I don't 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:52.560 think I picked that Dallas versus Dallas, the Cowboys versus 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:55.720 the Chiefs, Dallas, Texas tex I think he's like pre 0:19:55.920 --> 0:19:58.440 Dallas Texas. Oh that's right. I had the forty nine 0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:01.440 ers because I thought top the autumn they were a 0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:04.000 more complete team, even though Mahomes is just out of 0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:06.360 this world and he proved he's out of this world 0:20:06.400 --> 0:20:08.080 at the end of you thought you thought so. He 0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:10.439 thought the team that went four and twelve last year 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:12.240 was going to win the Super Bowl? I did. What's 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:16.439 wrong with that? Okay? Come on, they was good. They 0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:18.919 had he didn't say at the beginning of the season 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:24.000 after improving, Jimmy, I don't know. He's not saying. He's 0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:27.480 saying that he picked him on Monday. Have been listening 0:20:27.520 --> 0:20:30.560 while you're on the slopes, you know what. It occurred 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:33.320 to me for about five seconds. Then I saw what 0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:37.720 time it was, and I said, nah, they're on their own. 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:40.720 Almost got Wally pipped last week because Kyle Yeoman's was 0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:43.320 a terrific replacement for you, Mickey, How do you know 0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:47.960 he wasn't replacing Everson because he was sitting there Jack Blackery. 0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:51.440 He did the Jack, Yes, he did the Ready. It 0:20:51.560 --> 0:20:53.719 wasn't as good as Mickey's though, but and I sent 0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:55.360 it to you guys, and when he said it wasn't 0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:58.480 as good, I was thinking bad. It was right, it 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:02.560 wasn't as Channing. Right, Yeah, that's right. I got one 0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:04.760 more thing about the Super Bowl. This can tie back 0:21:04.760 --> 0:21:07.280 into the Cowboys. I guess. I just got curious and 0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:09.840 I counted it up. Since Brady won his first Super 0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:13.520 Bowl and that's about twenty seasons ago, how many quarterbacks 0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:15.640 have won a Super Bowl in this league since then, 0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:19.760 in the last twenty years? Oh wow? Not many? If 0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:24.000 we if we eliminate Brady's well, count Brady. Count Brady. Oh, 0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:27.879 count Brady because he's won multiple He's just won. Not 0:21:28.040 --> 0:21:31.240 how many he's won, but how many different quarterbacks have 0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:34.080 won the Super Bowl? Can you want to run him down? Roethlisberger. 0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:36.760 I could be wrong here, but let's guess him. Let's 0:21:36.760 --> 0:21:46.800 guess him. Okay, okay, I'm not naming the Brady, Brees, Rogers, Roethlisburger, Wilson, Wilson, 0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:51.520 there's five right there. I can't believe Eli Manning, Yeah, 0:21:51.600 --> 0:22:01.119 Peyton Petting, Nick Foles. Yep, Brad Johnson got one former 0:22:01.200 --> 0:22:04.959 Cowboy and Pat Mahomes. So there's ten. There's ten over 0:22:05.040 --> 0:22:08.000 twenty years, over twenty years. And how many of these 0:22:08.119 --> 0:22:10.640 guys are going to the Hall of Fame? Pretty much 0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:15.040 all of them for Folds probably, and they're not Brad 0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:18.960 Jones and Pat Mahomes as well. On his way and 0:22:19.320 --> 0:22:23.080 it is over and well I started it season after 0:22:23.520 --> 0:22:27.760 when when Brad started his runk over since Okay, it's 0:22:27.760 --> 0:22:30.679 a eighteen years. Probably not Flacco either, probably not Flacco. 0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:33.120 But it is a man, is it a quarterbacks league? 0:22:33.240 --> 0:22:35.320 Russ Wilson's going to Hall of Fame? I think, so 0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:39.040 you got to have a great one. And they're already 0:22:39.280 --> 0:22:44.280 touting the Philadelphia Eagles and costs them wins? Am I 0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:47.400 missing something? They're they're not winning the division. They're looking 0:22:47.440 --> 0:22:49.600 for them to go to the Bowl. They're not going 0:22:49.640 --> 0:22:54.480 to fifteen years with you, William, trust me, I'm with you. 0:22:54.840 --> 0:22:57.439 But this is amazing how this is the same thing 0:22:57.480 --> 0:23:00.960 that happened last year. They would think Couston wentz the 0:23:01.080 --> 0:23:04.520 whole time. I mean, he hadn't even had come off 0:23:04.560 --> 0:23:07.280 of an injury. Still they had confidence in he in 0:23:07.320 --> 0:23:10.480 the Philadelphia Eagles, not just him, but how this team 0:23:10.840 --> 0:23:13.840 was built. They are already tulling them as the new 0:23:13.880 --> 0:23:16.800 Super Bowl champions for twenty twenty one. I just think 0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:20.480 that is just sounds thirsty. You know, It's like somebody 0:23:20.640 --> 0:23:25.879 just loves Philadelphia so much. Not somebody somebody E'SE. You 0:23:26.000 --> 0:23:28.480 guys are out there and that John, What the heck 0:23:28.600 --> 0:23:30.239 is going on out there? Why they Why do they 0:23:30.320 --> 0:23:33.440 feel this way? I haven't I haven't gotten that sense, 0:23:33.520 --> 0:23:36.640 but I'm sure. I'm sure it's out there, because there's 0:23:36.720 --> 0:23:40.560 no doubt it's out there. Yeah. Well, they took a 0:23:40.600 --> 0:23:43.359 step back a year ago, but then they kind of 0:23:43.359 --> 0:23:45.760 withstood them things this past year and and made a 0:23:45.880 --> 0:23:48.080 run to the playoffs. So you're always looking for that 0:23:48.160 --> 0:23:53.720 next team to welling the Cowboys what they're doing. Reason 0:23:53.800 --> 0:23:57.600 why Steve Atwater can go to the Pro Football Hall 0:23:57.640 --> 0:24:02.040 of Fame and Deverson Walls or Woodson think about that. 0:24:02.680 --> 0:24:07.359 Steve Atwater. It was a box safety. More safeties are 0:24:07.359 --> 0:24:10.640 getting in now, though, Cliff Harris, I'm still man. Brian 0:24:10.720 --> 0:24:12.680 Dawkins beat me out when I was there, so we 0:24:12.720 --> 0:24:14.760 gotta get over. You can keep on going, I mean, 0:24:15.200 --> 0:24:16.919 we can keep on going, not just me, I mean 0:24:16.960 --> 0:24:19.240 all the other dB they thought the Brian Dawkins before 0:24:19.280 --> 0:24:23.119 Cliff Harris. Yeah, let's think about that. I mean, come on, 0:24:23.280 --> 0:24:25.560 how many free agents are in the Hall of Fame. 0:24:26.480 --> 0:24:28.040 I deserved to be in the Hall of Fame. He 0:24:28.119 --> 0:24:31.600 sure did. Brian Dawkins was no free agent, been tuted 0:24:31.640 --> 0:24:34.960 his whole career. No surprise that he did well. Yeah, 0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:39.040 Cliff Harris, now that that's a story. Six Pro Bowls. 0:24:39.840 --> 0:24:43.480 Come on, this guy, captain Captain Crash took this long, 0:24:43.880 --> 0:24:49.920 took this long. Yeah, took the extra ten guys. Okay, So, Rob, 0:24:50.040 --> 0:24:53.040 you said that the quarterback Super Bowl thing might tie 0:24:53.119 --> 0:24:57.360 into the Cowboys Wayne, because you've got to have am 0:24:57.359 --> 0:25:00.359 I making your prediction right now. You've got to have 0:25:00.960 --> 0:25:03.520 a really good to great quarterback. I think that's obvious. 0:25:03.640 --> 0:25:06.159 You got to have players around him. I think it 0:25:06.280 --> 0:25:09.960 just speaks to the Cowboys. They are sold on Dak Prescott. 0:25:10.240 --> 0:25:12.040 I know he hasn't been signed to a long term 0:25:12.119 --> 0:25:14.080 deal yet. I think everybody feels like eventually it will 0:25:14.119 --> 0:25:16.880 get done. I think it speaks to once again, why 0:25:17.000 --> 0:25:19.560 Mike McCarthy's the new head coach here, because they are 0:25:19.640 --> 0:25:23.560 sold on Dak and they found a veteran coach who 0:25:23.680 --> 0:25:27.640 has been around Hall of Fame quarterbacks and they feel 0:25:27.760 --> 0:25:30.440 he can help elevate Dak to another level. That's that's 0:25:30.440 --> 0:25:33.040 a big reason why McCarthy, who was also sold on 0:25:33.200 --> 0:25:37.200 Dak in the interview process. Yeah, Stephen said that he 0:25:37.359 --> 0:25:41.159 had a video reel of Dak going back to his 0:25:41.320 --> 0:25:44.600 combine workout when he met with the Joneses on that 0:25:44.760 --> 0:25:48.879 Saturday and throughout his career and showed the progression and 0:25:49.160 --> 0:25:52.160 where how he's evolved in this league. And I'm sure 0:25:52.240 --> 0:25:55.960 that that played a huge role as well in them connecting, 0:25:56.240 --> 0:26:00.720 you know, absolutely. So the Sunday big news drop on 0:26:00.840 --> 0:26:04.440 Super Bowl Sunday was well, looks like Cowboys are gonna 0:26:04.440 --> 0:26:08.280 be franchise tagging y Yeah, if I see that one 0:26:08.359 --> 0:26:11.640 more time, it's fired up. It's like, of course they're 0:26:11.680 --> 0:26:14.320 gonna If they don't get them signed, they're gonna franchise him. 0:26:14.680 --> 0:26:17.920 And then there's the crawler every day and every day 0:26:18.000 --> 0:26:20.440 I'm on vacation, I said, oh, I guess I missed something. 0:26:21.320 --> 0:26:24.320 So that was are they going to sign him? Well, 0:26:24.440 --> 0:26:26.760 if they will if they don't have a contract. But 0:26:27.000 --> 0:26:30.240 they don't have a contract. I mean, what are the 0:26:30.320 --> 0:26:34.080 odds of them going franchise versus you know, signing him 0:26:34.160 --> 0:26:37.440 to this big deal. Well, you can start franchising guys 0:26:37.520 --> 0:26:41.080 on February twenty fifth, and I think you have to ten. 0:26:41.880 --> 0:26:45.160 So yeah, if it doesn't get done by them, they'll franchise. 0:26:45.440 --> 0:26:49.720 And there has been rumors out there saying, well, Dak 0:26:49.800 --> 0:26:52.960 wants more, the Cowboys are really holding out. What is 0:26:53.040 --> 0:26:56.159 the truth is he does he want more than what 0:26:56.320 --> 0:26:59.440 the what's offered on the table? Is that to hold up? Well, 0:26:59.560 --> 0:27:03.200 if you listened to what Stephen Jones said, dude and 0:27:04.640 --> 0:27:12.800 mans they were going to put they they said and 0:27:12.880 --> 0:27:14.359 I didn't have to come out and say it, that 0:27:14.440 --> 0:27:16.640 they were going to make him a top five paid 0:27:16.800 --> 0:27:20.200 quarterback and it wasn't enough. But what you haven't heard 0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:23.440 is what they're asking for. That's one thing, and we's 0:27:23.480 --> 0:27:26.840 been out of this whole narrative. What are they asking for? 0:27:27.600 --> 0:27:30.439 It must be crazy because it seems like they had 0:27:30.480 --> 0:27:34.680 an impass right and even more so now when Dak 0:27:34.880 --> 0:27:39.280 basically spoke up at the Super Bowl well basically saying yeah, 0:27:39.359 --> 0:27:43.080 go ahead, Mick. What he told the morning he sounded 0:27:43.359 --> 0:27:45.760 you know a little frustrated this hasn't been done. And 0:27:45.840 --> 0:27:47.919 the question was to Dak, what would you show up 0:27:47.960 --> 0:27:50.160 for the voluntary program without a deal, and he said, 0:27:50.359 --> 0:27:52.840 we'll just cross that when we get to it. But 0:27:53.359 --> 0:27:55.840 also and so they also said it's time for them 0:27:55.920 --> 0:27:59.280 to pay me and you can print that. Wow. So 0:27:59.640 --> 0:28:05.159 so you get away from the from the comfis you 0:28:05.280 --> 0:28:10.320 know what happens. Number one, there's an agent telling you, Okay, 0:28:10.560 --> 0:28:14.560 here's our stance. At number two, the NFLPA puts pressure 0:28:14.640 --> 0:28:17.560 on you to make sure you don't give a hometown discount. 0:28:17.720 --> 0:28:20.000 And so because they want to see everybody making it 0:28:20.359 --> 0:28:24.840 much and you reset what the quarterback market is. So 0:28:25.000 --> 0:28:27.800 he has an obligation to all other players to get 0:28:27.840 --> 0:28:30.080 as much right he can get in the NFL. And 0:28:30.880 --> 0:28:33.719 you know, you're there with all the NFLPA guys at 0:28:33.800 --> 0:28:37.280 the Super Bowl and specifically all other quarterbacks. He has 0:28:37.320 --> 0:28:39.800 that r yeah and looks so you know, the last 0:28:39.880 --> 0:28:42.520 four years and the Cowboys know this, he's been one 0:28:42.560 --> 0:28:44.440 of the best bargains in the league in terms of 0:28:44.480 --> 0:28:48.320 his salaries a fourth round rookie contract versus what he's 0:28:48.320 --> 0:28:50.480 done in the league. The Cowboys want to get him signed. 0:28:50.680 --> 0:28:53.200 The report came out ever since I think Sunday morning 0:28:53.520 --> 0:28:58.360 ESPN saying it's likely heading that way towards the tag. Well, okay, fine, 0:28:58.520 --> 0:29:01.560 but there are still six weeks weeks until they have 0:29:01.680 --> 0:29:04.400 to make a decision whether the tax. You know, so 0:29:04.680 --> 0:29:06.760 six weeks to try to get something done, A lot 0:29:06.800 --> 0:29:08.640 can happen. And it reminds me a little bit mick 0:29:08.760 --> 0:29:11.120 of the DeMarcus Lawrence thing last year, where we felt 0:29:11.200 --> 0:29:13.800 like players don't like the tag. Okay, they don't want 0:29:13.800 --> 0:29:16.200 to be tagged, they want the long term security. That's 0:29:16.320 --> 0:29:20.000 that's fair and natural. And we thought, we sat here, 0:29:20.080 --> 0:29:21.840 and what if they don't get this thing done with 0:29:21.960 --> 0:29:24.640 the Marcus He's got to have shoulder surgery, all stuff. 0:29:24.680 --> 0:29:27.080 It got done, and it got done, and the deadline 0:29:27.120 --> 0:29:30.000 on that was basically when they got it done, because 0:29:30.040 --> 0:29:31.760 he had to have that surgery in order to be 0:29:31.840 --> 0:29:34.720 ready for the start of the season. Yeah, by the draft. 0:29:34.800 --> 0:29:38.080 He basically had to have that thing done otherwise, you know. Yeah, 0:29:38.240 --> 0:29:40.440 and even after you tag him, you still got five 0:29:40.520 --> 0:29:43.680 months to get him signed or you can't sign them 0:29:43.720 --> 0:29:49.280 to then of course, you know, but again the voluntary program, 0:29:49.480 --> 0:29:52.360 you got a new coach and a tweaked offense, and 0:29:53.080 --> 0:29:56.600 that's where than normal because it is a new coach. 0:29:56.760 --> 0:29:59.240 So then who's in the driver a seat? Then? Yeah, 0:29:59.440 --> 0:30:03.360 because based on bad information right there, then you would 0:30:03.360 --> 0:30:04.960 say that's in the driver seat if he wants to 0:30:05.000 --> 0:30:07.000 go that route, which is a route he has never 0:30:07.160 --> 0:30:10.000 been shown to take. Right. He's always been the company 0:30:10.080 --> 0:30:12.640 man when it came to the kneeling and the Black 0:30:12.720 --> 0:30:16.600 Lives matter. You know, he was in lockstep with Jerry Jones. 0:30:16.680 --> 0:30:20.880 The entire team was so man, this is different for 0:30:21.000 --> 0:30:23.840 me to hear him being so bold and sounded like 0:30:23.960 --> 0:30:27.080 Everson Walls or somebody. Right, I love him, you know. 0:30:27.240 --> 0:30:29.840 And it's not the Cowboys fault that he got drafted 0:30:29.880 --> 0:30:33.480 in the fourth round, right, that's sort of you know 0:30:33.600 --> 0:30:39.080 the argument. So you were gone Alexander Wright from the 0:30:39.120 --> 0:30:43.720 Cowboys draft wide wide receiver nineteen ninety and he was 0:30:43.760 --> 0:30:45.920 a twenty eighth pick in the draft, but there was 0:30:46.000 --> 0:30:49.120 only twenty seven picks in the first round, so he 0:30:49.320 --> 0:30:52.560 was technically a second round pick, right, And his agent 0:30:52.760 --> 0:30:54.640 was saying, no, he's a first round pick. You got 0:30:54.760 --> 0:30:56.640 to get paid like a first round pick. And the 0:30:56.760 --> 0:31:00.640 Cowboys like, sorry, it says second round here first pick, 0:31:00.720 --> 0:31:03.320 and that he didn't go to training camp along with 0:31:03.480 --> 0:31:06.680 Emmett and he signed first, and then Emmett got done 0:31:06.720 --> 0:31:09.040 the week of the season, but he missed because that 0:31:09.200 --> 0:31:12.920 was their argument. So you're I think the dilemma now is, Okay, 0:31:13.560 --> 0:31:18.840 if we go down this franchise tag route, will Dad 0:31:18.960 --> 0:31:21.600 be that guy? Will he be the one that choses 0:31:21.640 --> 0:31:25.920 to be defiant? And even if he does, and they 0:31:26.000 --> 0:31:28.600 still don't get to sign him and he's he has 0:31:28.640 --> 0:31:32.000 to play the tag out for the whole season. I 0:31:32.160 --> 0:31:33.880 really don't think it makes that much of a difference. 0:31:34.320 --> 0:31:37.920 Twenty seven million guaranteed for the one year tag. Yeah, 0:31:38.080 --> 0:31:41.000 but I mean he wasn't gonna do come in and tank. 0:31:41.440 --> 0:31:44.080 He's gonna do yeah right. I mean I'm not saying 0:31:44.120 --> 0:31:47.120 that he's stuck. I'm saying that's just how he is 0:31:47.240 --> 0:31:49.280 as a player. I'm not gonna come in and let 0:31:49.360 --> 0:31:52.600 my team down because I got tagged. No, I wouldn't 0:31:52.640 --> 0:31:54.520 think so either, And so to me, as much as 0:31:54.600 --> 0:31:56.040 we want to see him get I want to see 0:31:56.120 --> 0:31:58.560 him get paid. I think it would be only fair. 0:31:58.880 --> 0:32:01.480 You can look down, you know, Bills probably can look 0:32:01.600 --> 0:32:04.480 up and see some stats on all the amazing stuff 0:32:04.520 --> 0:32:06.720 that we could say that, Dak, did you know that 0:32:06.800 --> 0:32:09.880 would gold well in negotiations. You know, it really doesn't 0:32:09.920 --> 0:32:12.600 matter when it comes down to it, whether he's tag 0:32:12.840 --> 0:32:15.360 or not, you're going to see the same Dak Prescott. Yeah, 0:32:15.480 --> 0:32:17.440 I don't think it matter. So I don't think it's 0:32:17.440 --> 0:32:20.800 going to impact the season none whatsoever. Whether he's on, 0:32:21.040 --> 0:32:23.600 The only thing it'll impact is him not being there 0:32:23.640 --> 0:32:27.000 in the offseason if he chooses not to be there. Right, 0:32:28.280 --> 0:32:32.479 But you get tagged and you go to training camp, right, 0:32:32.840 --> 0:32:35.680 you got to make up for lost time.

I got my cousin, jim 0:36:42.520 --> 0:36:45.320 I got yeah, Jimmy, Jimmy at one point after his 0:36:45.400 --> 0:36:47.440 first year a second year and was like, well, this 0:36:47.560 --> 0:36:50.479 guy doesn't catch the ball very well. He goes, well, 0:36:50.600 --> 0:36:53.960 you know what, with his speed, they got to cover 0:36:54.120 --> 0:36:56.239 him because you never know when he might catch it. 0:36:57.280 --> 0:36:58.880 I was kind of a book on Bob Hayes when 0:36:58.880 --> 0:37:01.560 he first came here too. Yeah, he turned the other round. 0:37:01.680 --> 0:37:06.480 Ye all right, Um, why else on the Cowboys? What 0:37:06.560 --> 0:37:10.200 are you thinking? Um? Trying to think? What other days 0:37:10.760 --> 0:37:13.640 to the next other? Jason Witten saying at the Super 0:37:13.680 --> 0:37:19.040 Bowl coming back, don't please don't. You can start resigning 0:37:19.400 --> 0:37:24.759 players with expiring contracts on February eleventh. So is that 0:37:25.040 --> 0:37:27.359 before we do the next show? Or what are we at? 0:37:27.400 --> 0:37:30.640 The third? Fourth? Fourth? So next Tuesday, Next Tuesday, you 0:37:30.640 --> 0:37:34.440 can start signing guys with expiring contracts. Two guys. Why receivers? 0:37:35.719 --> 0:37:41.080 Cooper a right number two priorities behind Randa Randall. Cob 0:37:41.840 --> 0:37:44.720 You gotta get him signed. You gotta get him signed 0:37:46.040 --> 0:37:48.040 unless you're sitting creating the draft and you got one 0:37:48.040 --> 0:37:50.120 of these studs whide receivers coming out that you can 0:37:50.200 --> 0:37:53.160 really count on. I say you stick with these guys. 0:37:53.200 --> 0:37:55.279 I think Cobbs more likely to come back because of 0:37:55.400 --> 0:37:58.320 McCarthy here, I am. Yeah. I think. I don't know 0:37:58.400 --> 0:38:00.319 if it's I don't know if you're probably a tip 0:38:00.560 --> 0:38:03.279 him over Cooper, but yeah, I think if he was 0:38:03.360 --> 0:38:07.840 leaning towards leaving now he's he's running towards stage not 0:38:08.040 --> 0:38:11.839 just leaning to McCarthy might have a saying it too. 0:38:11.920 --> 0:38:15.480 It's like, of course I want because because not only 0:38:15.560 --> 0:38:19.040 did he want his own assistant coaches, he probably wants 0:38:19.080 --> 0:38:22.279 somebody that has been loyal to him in that locker room. 0:38:22.320 --> 0:38:25.880 And when when you think about it, Jason Witten's return, 0:38:26.239 --> 0:38:34.040 if if it's a return, would clearly affect Cobb's output. Yes, yes, 0:38:34.200 --> 0:38:37.439 and and that is not good because I'm pretty sure 0:38:37.600 --> 0:38:40.280 last year there were many times when Kyle was saying, 0:38:40.400 --> 0:38:43.279 come to me, it's my this is my time of 0:38:43.360 --> 0:38:46.560 the game, and we were not because we were trying 0:38:46.600 --> 0:38:49.040 to get it to one of our tight ends who 0:38:49.920 --> 0:38:53.000 just happened to be a former commentator. Which, by the way, 0:38:54.520 --> 0:38:58.160 you know, Jarwin's restricted, so they've got to give him 0:38:58.200 --> 0:39:01.320 a tender at some point. And you would think of 0:39:01.480 --> 0:39:04.520 all the time you've spent developing him, you want him 0:39:04.600 --> 0:39:08.000 back and say he Wit did the media car wash 0:39:08.080 --> 0:39:09.560 at the Super Bowl, and I think one of the 0:39:09.680 --> 0:39:11.920 things he said to one of the state maybe Rich Eisen, 0:39:12.080 --> 0:39:15.160 was you know, I understand there's a new coach and 0:39:15.320 --> 0:39:17.640 we've got to have open discussions, and you'd love to 0:39:17.800 --> 0:39:19.800 end it here as a player, but it may have 0:39:19.920 --> 0:39:22.239 to be somewhere else. You never know, so I don't 0:39:22.280 --> 0:39:25.720 really know where it's going to be exactly. I gotta 0:39:25.800 --> 0:39:29.520 say he's you know, just form a player's opinion. I 0:39:29.600 --> 0:39:36.759 guess I'm a pundit now. I just I think if 0:39:36.800 --> 0:39:38.640 he's going to come back at all, it would have 0:39:38.800 --> 0:39:43.480 to be under a player coach type of situation. I 0:39:43.719 --> 0:39:47.760 just don't see how he can help this team going 0:39:48.040 --> 0:39:51.600 forward when we need to start thinking of getting younger 0:39:51.719 --> 0:39:55.440 and have more consistency. I think if he's going to 0:39:55.560 --> 0:39:58.560 come in, it should be clearly to just be just 0:39:58.800 --> 0:40:02.640 in the mentor type of status for these two really 0:40:03.160 --> 0:40:07.280 upcoming tight ends that we have in Cheltzon and Jawin. 0:40:07.760 --> 0:40:12.360 I think those two guys are NFL. They're ready to 0:40:12.560 --> 0:40:17.680 be NFL capable tight ends. They are ready now. Okay, 0:40:17.760 --> 0:40:20.719 So Jarwin a restricted free agent, if you don't have 0:40:20.840 --> 0:40:23.640 a deal done with him, what kind of tender would 0:40:23.680 --> 0:40:27.640 you give him? First round? Second round? Or he's a 0:40:27.719 --> 0:40:30.400 free agent, so the low tender I think the second 0:40:31.080 --> 0:40:34.040 second he was he was a college free agent and 0:40:34.400 --> 0:40:36.960 were undrafted. So if you don't, I mean so. And 0:40:37.239 --> 0:40:40.120 the way that works is if a team were to 0:40:40.239 --> 0:40:43.920 sign him. They would not if if he does not 0:40:44.120 --> 0:40:47.000 have a first or second round tender, that team can 0:40:47.160 --> 0:40:50.960 sign him without giving up a draft conversation, whereas if 0:40:51.000 --> 0:40:53.000 it was a second round tender, that team would have 0:40:53.080 --> 0:40:55.359 to pay the Cowboys a second round pick. I'm thinking 0:40:55.440 --> 0:40:57.560 way back here, but I think like when Miles Austin 0:40:57.680 --> 0:40:59.239 was coming up and they wanted to keep him, but 0:40:59.320 --> 0:41:01.400 he hasn't had been really established it, I think they 0:41:01.480 --> 0:41:03.239 put the second round tam. I mean that that kind 0:41:03.280 --> 0:41:06.719 of adequately scares teams off. I feel like from I 0:41:06.800 --> 0:41:09.120 think if you if you really like a guy, because 0:41:09.160 --> 0:41:11.480 it's basically a one year deal and I don't know 0:41:11.680 --> 0:41:14.239 the second what it's going to come to. Probably last 0:41:14.320 --> 0:41:17.359 year and a half million or so. Last year, three 0:41:17.600 --> 0:41:20.080 second round tender was three point one million, first round 0:41:20.160 --> 0:41:22.520 was four point five million, and the low tender was 0:41:22.560 --> 0:41:24.800 two million. Yeah, so you got to do the second 0:41:24.960 --> 0:41:27.080 and I'm sure this year if it was that three 0:41:27.200 --> 0:41:30.600 over three, then probably getting closer to four and a 0:41:30.640 --> 0:41:32.399 half something like that. But it's going to be your 0:41:32.440 --> 0:41:34.600 starting tight end. When do they have to make that? 0:41:35.040 --> 0:41:36.880 Is it by mid March? They have to make that decision? 0:41:37.719 --> 0:41:41.600 Restricted qualifying offers. I think it's by March eighteenth or 0:41:41.680 --> 0:41:46.160 something like that. Right, well, start which is the eighteenth 0:41:46.320 --> 0:41:48.160 or so, you can start doing it at some point 0:41:48.239 --> 0:41:54.560 this month, right, you have to have it. No one 0:41:54.640 --> 0:41:57.360 can give him a bid, like I think it's like 0:41:57.600 --> 0:42:00.840 within two weeks of the draft, right, that's on the 0:42:00.880 --> 0:42:04.440 back end of it establishing the tenders. So you have 0:42:04.600 --> 0:42:07.040 to do it. Yeah, by time free and they've got 0:42:07.080 --> 0:42:09.759 a couple other guys, right, I think Cooper Rush is restricted, 0:42:10.400 --> 0:42:12.279 but yeah, jar one's the one that really stands out 0:42:12.520 --> 0:42:15.640 what they do there, got a lot of work to do, 0:42:15.840 --> 0:42:19.160 a lot. We look at all the free agents, I mean, 0:42:19.239 --> 0:42:21.920 Everson named Randall Cobb, Maury Cooper, that's I mean, that's 0:42:21.920 --> 0:42:24.480 just scratching the surface. You look on defense. Let's get 0:42:24.560 --> 0:42:30.040 into Byron Jones, Link Collins, Everson, Everson on the Year 0:42:30.160 --> 0:42:37.319 in Special. I was thinking about that coming in Burry 0:42:37.440 --> 0:42:39.960 Church and it's you can watch it online. It's in 0:42:40.080 --> 0:42:42.600 bits and pieces on Dallas Cowboys dot Com. The Year 0:42:42.680 --> 0:42:46.040 and Special with Michael Irvin and Everson and Burry Church, 0:42:46.120 --> 0:42:48.680 and we were talking about free agency and then the 0:42:48.840 --> 0:42:53.400 needs and Burry Church said that secondary was the biggest 0:42:53.520 --> 0:42:58.560 needed upgrade and they started talking about safeties and Everson say, well, 0:42:59.560 --> 0:43:02.640 say what Biban Jones to safety? I said, and your 0:43:03.560 --> 0:43:07.160 Church went off because he's experienced that. And then I 0:43:07.320 --> 0:43:10.279 just start talking my way at cornerback. You've got your 0:43:10.320 --> 0:43:12.560 best corner that I think, I said, can't catch a 0:43:12.680 --> 0:43:16.040 cold in Alaska with ice cubes in his pockets or 0:43:16.120 --> 0:43:18.560 something like that. And I want to say more because 0:43:18.600 --> 0:43:20.279 of course I think we've all heard it before. The 0:43:20.360 --> 0:43:23.640 ice cubes can go anywhere on your body and much deeper, 0:43:24.040 --> 0:43:25.600 and that would be a little bit more graphic, but 0:43:25.719 --> 0:43:28.960 either way, I still can't catch it. So that's kind 0:43:29.000 --> 0:43:35.279 of where we had. So you had a governor on you, yes, so, 0:43:36.360 --> 0:43:38.400 and you know, I think, and I still think this 0:43:38.520 --> 0:43:42.120 guy's I think Biben Jones, but at his experience now 0:43:42.640 --> 0:43:45.160 based on his experience with Barry Church because obviously they 0:43:45.600 --> 0:43:47.920 had a big impact on Barried Church in the psychic 0:43:47.960 --> 0:43:50.759 because he went off. When I suggested that you put 0:43:50.840 --> 0:43:56.839 Bivan Jones at safe, I actually retweeted that, and as 0:43:57.160 --> 0:44:00.640 I quoted, you said, your best quarterback, I can't catch 0:44:00.680 --> 0:44:03.120 a cold in Alaska with ice cubes in his pot 0:44:03.200 --> 0:44:06.120 He can't, he can't, And we're real about this guy 0:44:06.200 --> 0:44:09.360 when the last time Byrn's got an interception of his career, 0:44:09.800 --> 0:44:11.279 and he had he had had two in the last 0:44:11.280 --> 0:44:14.200 two years. But when you're talking about the person who 0:44:14.320 --> 0:44:17.600 was so athletic coming out of the combine, it's not 0:44:17.840 --> 0:44:20.799 hard to take it from cornerback who it's a very 0:44:20.920 --> 0:44:25.200 demanding position in regards to immediate contact with a wide 0:44:25.239 --> 0:44:29.200 receiver to where you're going back ten yards back from 0:44:29.239 --> 0:44:32.080 the line of scrimmage. Now you can use that intellectual 0:44:32.320 --> 0:44:37.120 and that athletic ability to read plays, sniff out bad passes, 0:44:37.440 --> 0:44:40.080 and make more of an impact in the ball game. 0:44:40.280 --> 0:44:42.080 We have not had a safety that can do that 0:44:42.200 --> 0:44:45.319 for us. Heath was doing his best. Heath is about 0:44:45.360 --> 0:44:48.040 to come out with both arms typed behind his back 0:44:48.360 --> 0:44:50.319 next year because that's the way his labors are going 0:44:50.400 --> 0:44:53.120 to have him feeling. And now you're talking about needing 0:44:53.200 --> 0:44:58.520 someone physical, you need someone intelligent in that defensive secondary 0:44:58.600 --> 0:45:00.520 and the safety by and Joe to be the guy. 0:45:01.400 --> 0:45:04.399 He had Jeff Heath playing for them, that Sorensen. When 0:45:04.440 --> 0:45:07.480 one Thornhill went down, then Sorenson got the opportunity and 0:45:07.560 --> 0:45:09.520 that would be the role that you would be looking 0:45:09.600 --> 0:45:13.960 forward for Jeff he but Byron Jones had that role, right, 0:45:14.000 --> 0:45:15.960 and he didn't do anything. And that's what that's why 0:45:16.040 --> 0:45:19.239 Barry Church went off on him. Yeah, and Mike don't 0:45:19.280 --> 0:45:22.360 do that. And let's consider this, Mike Nolan when he 0:45:22.520 --> 0:45:25.840 was asked about cornerbacks, he's or dbs, he said, I 0:45:26.000 --> 0:45:30.560 want ball hawking defensive backs. And when Jones did this 0:45:30.760 --> 0:45:34.400 his rookie year, right, it was his rookie year, did both. 0:45:34.960 --> 0:45:37.759 But I'm saying he played safety his rookie Yeah, he 0:45:37.880 --> 0:45:40.080 dabbled at corner, but I think he was mostly a safety. 0:45:40.280 --> 0:45:42.640 He's got to be having more experience. Now you're telling 0:45:42.680 --> 0:45:45.920 me he didn't learn from his years. He's gonna be 0:45:46.000 --> 0:45:48.839 the same guy that he was his rookie year, maybe 0:45:48.880 --> 0:45:52.680 second year too. But it was a better cornerback than 0:45:52.719 --> 0:45:54.799 he was a safe. But here's no doubt he can cover. 0:45:55.520 --> 0:45:58.000 But I'm talking about making plays on the ball. And 0:45:58.360 --> 0:46:00.600 Al Harris, you put him in the position of that 0:46:00.760 --> 0:46:04.080 number twenty for the Cassidy Chiefs last night. I'm sorry 0:46:04.120 --> 0:46:07.319 for the forty nines last night. Right, you can't him 0:46:07.320 --> 0:46:09.440 on the wide receiver like that. You're getting the different 0:46:09.840 --> 0:46:13.120 UH outcome as opposed to a safety back, then what 0:46:13.200 --> 0:46:15.319 do you need that ability to cover? Yeah, in your 0:46:15.360 --> 0:46:18.239 second day. Here's the thing though, he's he's unrestricted and 0:46:18.719 --> 0:46:22.160 usually corners make more money. Does he He has the 0:46:22.239 --> 0:46:24.759 option to go somewhere and play what he wants to play. 0:46:24.880 --> 0:46:26.759 Now we'll see what is what his market value is 0:46:26.800 --> 0:46:28.600 if he tests the market, if he's a game change 0:46:28.600 --> 0:46:30.680 of safety, he can he can make all the money. Okay, 0:46:30.880 --> 0:46:32.759 he may not, he may not want him place. You know, 0:46:32.840 --> 0:46:34.319 he's true. You know he kind of had his coming 0:46:34.360 --> 0:46:37.359 out party as a corner. Here's the bottom baking. Either 0:46:37.400 --> 0:46:39.960 I wanted to sit back there and look pretty at cornerback, 0:46:40.000 --> 0:46:41.960 but you can't do at safety. You gotta go out 0:46:42.000 --> 0:46:44.000 there and make some plays. And now that's what you 0:46:44.080 --> 0:46:46.200 had to do. Here's the bottom line on him. Because 0:46:46.239 --> 0:46:50.399 everybody's saying the Cowboys can't afford to resign him, Well, 0:46:51.160 --> 0:46:54.160 my next question is why can't they afford to resign him? 0:46:54.640 --> 0:46:58.479 Because if other teams are looking at what you just said, 0:46:59.160 --> 0:47:01.440 why are they going to pay so much money more 0:47:01.560 --> 0:47:04.720 than what the Cowboys would offer him? Because he's still 0:47:05.520 --> 0:47:08.200 two interceptions, right, But the problem they look at him 0:47:09.000 --> 0:47:11.640 but a Pro Bowl, I mean you use that reference. 0:47:12.480 --> 0:47:14.520 Was your analogy was Terrence Williams a couple of years 0:47:14.560 --> 0:47:16.840 ago where it felt like, oh they Cowboys can't resign 0:47:16.960 --> 0:47:19.680 Terrence at wide receiver. Well the market cooled and they 0:47:19.719 --> 0:47:22.040 brought him back. It is different, I think with Byron 0:47:22.120 --> 0:47:24.359 because he has proven to be a Pro Bowl caliber player, 0:47:24.760 --> 0:47:28.400 but he's the interceptions are still the same. Right at corner, 0:47:28.719 --> 0:47:32.200 at corner, at corner, you put this man at safety, 0:47:32.280 --> 0:47:35.040 he can roam, he has the ability. Guy. You remember 0:47:35.080 --> 0:47:36.960 when he came out, he was the best thing the 0:47:37.040 --> 0:47:41.800 Combine had seen in years. Amazing athlete, amazing. Everything he 0:47:42.000 --> 0:47:45.600 did was was jaw dropping. Well then if if they 0:47:45.760 --> 0:47:48.400 do that, then you're in the market for a cornerback 0:47:49.640 --> 0:47:53.680 because I ain't trusting Jordan Lewis out there for sixty 0:47:53.719 --> 0:47:56.120 plays a game. Have you ever heard of before they 0:47:56.239 --> 0:48:01.680 before we saw Minnesota, before we played Bfalo, maybe you 0:48:01.800 --> 0:48:04.120 guys had I had never heard of any of their cornerbacks, 0:48:04.880 --> 0:48:09.120 not one of them. And man, which seems Buffalo Okay, 0:48:10.000 --> 0:48:12.879 you can go, Well, I got kid from LSU White 0:48:13.080 --> 0:48:17.080 at corner. Yeah, you got You had guys back there 0:48:17.200 --> 0:48:22.200 making plays not just on the Cowboys but against the Patriots. 0:48:23.000 --> 0:48:26.799 I mean, the a formidable secondary. These are not big 0:48:26.960 --> 0:48:29.960 names back there. You just gotta go find some dogs, man, 0:48:31.040 --> 0:48:33.280 they don't have to be names. Just go find some dogs. 0:48:33.560 --> 0:48:35.759 And that's what being the defensive back is all about. 0:48:35.840 --> 0:48:40.200 A guy that's determined. Not necessarily the best playmaker, but 0:48:40.280 --> 0:48:43.000 you got to be determined and put me behind a 0:48:43.040 --> 0:48:46.640 good defensive line. And you're talking about a guy not 0:48:46.840 --> 0:48:49.799 just I'm not just talking about basement bogging basement things. 0:48:49.880 --> 0:48:52.759 I'm talking about guys that can make plays that you 0:48:52.880 --> 0:48:55.960 can depend on. That's all I'm talking about. Al Harris, 0:48:56.160 --> 0:48:58.560 I guess in his interview when I went back and 0:48:58.640 --> 0:49:02.040 listened to it yesterday, said I'm big on touching the ball, 0:49:02.280 --> 0:49:07.279 touching the ball every day. So well they judge what 0:49:07.400 --> 0:49:09.279 they're looking for. I know. I mean, they drilled the 0:49:09.360 --> 0:49:11.560 hell out of no he means in the game and well, 0:49:11.880 --> 0:49:14.400 of course, but somebody that can do it. That is 0:49:14.480 --> 0:49:18.000 the biggest thing holding this defense back my opinion, they've 0:49:18.040 --> 0:49:21.440 been middle of the pack to lower pack. Taways always good, right, 0:49:21.520 --> 0:49:23.840 yeah for you. I mean they've been top ten I 0:49:23.920 --> 0:49:26.759 think in total yards and all that stuff, but they 0:49:26.880 --> 0:49:32.040 haven't impacted the game takeaways. Here's you mentioned Indevius White. 0:49:32.200 --> 0:49:35.719 I know for a fact the Cowboys love Tredevious White. 0:49:35.760 --> 0:49:40.160 They did, Okay, Taco Charlton in that draft in twenty 0:49:40.480 --> 0:49:45.600 seventeen was a twenty seventh pick. Tredevious White was taken 0:49:45.640 --> 0:49:49.080 by Buffalo one pick ahead of them. Second round, the 0:49:49.120 --> 0:49:52.400 Cowboys took Cheetawawoozier, and then they took Jordan Lewis in 0:49:52.440 --> 0:49:55.279 the third round. I bet you if Tradevious White had 0:49:55.360 --> 0:49:59.600 not been taken by Buffalo one pick ahead of Taco Charleton, 0:49:59.640 --> 0:50:02.960 the cow Boys would have taken Tradevious White there. Yeah, 0:50:03.120 --> 0:50:05.440 And that's just kind of the way things work. And 0:50:07.040 --> 0:50:09.640 I'll take it a step further. I also know they 0:50:09.760 --> 0:50:15.480 love Juju Smith Schuster, Okay, and who was taken right 0:50:15.560 --> 0:50:19.320 before Juju Smith Schuster in that draft, Cheeta A. Woozier. 0:50:20.400 --> 0:50:24.840 So let's let's say Buffalo doesn't take Tradevius White, the 0:50:24.920 --> 0:50:28.399 Cowboys take Tradevius White. So they've got their cornerback right there, 0:50:28.520 --> 0:50:30.280 and then they can and then they could have taken 0:50:30.360 --> 0:50:33.759 the wide receiver Juju Smith Schuster in the second round. 0:50:33.760 --> 0:50:36.760 I've talked to guys scouts before, not about those guys particular, 0:50:36.840 --> 0:50:38.680 but just you can play that game. Yeah, I know, 0:50:38.840 --> 0:50:40.759 and it can drive you crazy if you do it, 0:50:40.840 --> 0:50:43.440 because you could just go back for years and it's always, 0:50:43.600 --> 0:50:45.480 you know, there's a clump of guys and you're not 0:50:45.800 --> 0:50:48.560 you know, but we know that they because they had 0:50:48.600 --> 0:50:51.560 them in for visits and they love those guys and 0:50:52.520 --> 0:50:55.160 it's interesting. Yeah, things could have played out well if 0:50:55.200 --> 0:50:58.000 you go back to was it twenty fifteen when they 0:50:58.080 --> 0:51:03.719 took Martin was a twenty fourteen fourteen fourteen mark, right, 0:51:04.000 --> 0:51:06.520 so you know who they wanted. They wanted the linebacker 0:51:06.600 --> 0:51:10.960 that Pittsburgh right, try Shasier, Shasier and it was like, oh, now, 0:51:11.040 --> 0:51:14.839 what do we do? Pittsburgh took Shasier and that's when 0:51:15.080 --> 0:51:18.440 the whole thing with the A and M quarterback came 0:51:18.520 --> 0:51:24.000 up and then it was like him, yeah XFL quarterback 0:51:24.520 --> 0:51:27.960 l is he in? The L is not now? But 0:51:28.200 --> 0:51:31.279 by the way, anything, guys going to the game next. 0:51:31.480 --> 0:51:33.320 I'm not going to the game, but I'm gonna watch it. 0:51:33.960 --> 0:51:37.640 As the Dallas Renegades opened the XFL season at four 0:51:37.680 --> 0:51:44.239 o'clock on Sunday, Coach Bob Bob stoops coach fifty yard 0:51:44.320 --> 0:51:50.479 line seats, not you know, very healthy enough, to start 0:51:50.560 --> 0:51:52.720 the first game. I don't. I don't think that Landry 0:51:52.800 --> 0:51:55.879 Jones is healthy enough talking to renegades here. Maybe try 0:51:58.560 --> 0:52:03.040 Land stud Yard playing by the way, talking an interview 0:52:03.120 --> 0:52:10.439 with Lance Dunbar. He's got some dreads working night. Okay, okay, yeah, 0:52:10.480 --> 0:52:11.920 do they make him cut their hand before the game? 0:52:12.000 --> 0:52:20.080 Can talk? If you do todos for years and years? Okay. 0:52:20.160 --> 0:52:21.960 So here's how nerdy I a might look at the 0:52:22.000 --> 0:52:23.719 schedule because I don't. I don't think I'm gonna be 0:52:24.480 --> 0:52:27.799 back in time for that game on Sunday. But uh, 0:52:28.000 --> 0:52:29.879 they're on the road the next two weeks, and then 0:52:30.200 --> 0:52:33.480 the next game they're back at home. I'm gonna go, yeah, 0:52:33.600 --> 0:52:37.120 sit and stands. Hey, there's there's guys on these rosters 0:52:37.160 --> 0:52:39.560 that I've heard of, which is different from that Spring 0:52:39.680 --> 0:52:42.200 league last year. The Alliance of American Football, and of 0:52:42.200 --> 0:52:47.439 course Darryl Johnston is the director of player person Get ticket. 0:52:47.480 --> 0:52:50.319 You can get some tickets here? Yeah, I try, all right? 0:52:50.800 --> 0:52:53.360 I think that does it? Yeah, Okay, that do it? 0:52:53.440 --> 0:52:58.880 We talked cowboys, so who else? So last week I 0:52:58.920 --> 0:53:01.839 had to bail out early other free agents, other free 0:53:01.920 --> 0:53:04.239 agents that we need that we really need. Well on 0:53:04.360 --> 0:53:07.839 the cornerback front. Anthony Brown is a free agent. Would 0:53:07.840 --> 0:53:10.920 he be a priority to kind of protect yourself for? 0:53:12.880 --> 0:53:15.399 He missed half the season and I can't imagine he's 0:53:15.440 --> 0:53:18.239 got much market value. It's just hard because with a 0:53:18.320 --> 0:53:21.520 new staff, what they're looking, don't know what they value. 0:53:21.680 --> 0:53:23.759 And when we talk to him last week, I know, 0:53:23.920 --> 0:53:25.680 skip pizza. This is about the running back. So I 0:53:25.800 --> 0:53:28.080 love Zeke and Tony Pollard. But but I was going 0:53:28.120 --> 0:53:30.280 to say, but we haven't really gotten into the personnel 0:53:30.400 --> 0:53:33.080 side of things as of last week. It's more talking, 0:53:33.480 --> 0:53:37.320 you know, philosophy and so good. He's under wrapp. We 0:53:37.400 --> 0:53:39.960 have no problem with him. Yeah, now, and then on 0:53:40.040 --> 0:53:43.239 the defensive line, you got MALIEK. Collins and Robert Quinn. 0:53:44.960 --> 0:53:46.800 Can you get one of them back? I gotta have 0:53:46.920 --> 0:53:51.920 Quinn back, right, Michael, And I'm restricted, I think restricted 0:53:52.400 --> 0:53:55.600 thirty five, going on thirty six, maybe retiring. Do you 0:53:55.719 --> 0:54:00.319 think so at thirty four? He turns it turned thirty five? Yeah, 0:54:00.400 --> 0:54:02.560 I don't care how I'm looking at the outcome. I'm 0:54:02.640 --> 0:54:04.520 looking at what he did. I don't really care about 0:54:04.560 --> 0:54:06.759 the age itself. If that's right, Brady should have been 0:54:06.800 --> 0:54:09.359 gone a long time ago. I'm talking about if you're 0:54:09.360 --> 0:54:11.000 talking to the age. Yeah, that's one thing. If you know, 0:54:11.120 --> 0:54:13.560 I'm not saying retire him. He may have that in 0:54:13.760 --> 0:54:16.600 his mind, is what I'm saying. Well, I hope not. Yeah, 0:54:16.640 --> 0:54:18.840 I hope. I hope that he feels rejuvenated with a 0:54:18.920 --> 0:54:21.680 new coach. Sometimes that makes a big difference. And you 0:54:21.840 --> 0:54:24.240 guys are thinking one thing like, okay, if Jason Garrett 0:54:24.239 --> 0:54:25.799 comes back, man, a lot of you, you know, right, 0:54:25.880 --> 0:54:27.680 you're thinking things like that. Then all of a sudden, 0:54:27.800 --> 0:54:30.240 you got a new coach come in. Oh hey, guys, 0:54:30.320 --> 0:54:32.200 you know you just thought to feel a little different 0:54:32.239 --> 0:54:34.560 about your chances, and you say, why not roll the dice. 0:54:34.719 --> 0:54:39.240 Here's your defensive line free agents. Michael Bennett, Malie Collins, 0:54:39.360 --> 0:54:44.960 Christian Covington, Kerry Hyder, Robert Quinn, Daniel Ross is restricted 0:54:45.000 --> 0:54:48.240 and Antoine Woods is exclusive rights, which means so everybody, 0:54:48.320 --> 0:54:52.239 he's not going anything everybody. It's a long way. And 0:54:52.320 --> 0:54:56.600 then you gotta add, will Tyrone Crawford come back after 0:54:56.840 --> 0:55:00.040 dual hipster? No? Yeah, I don't think so. Yeah, I 0:55:00.760 --> 0:55:03.520 promise you. I'm still a worried about Vandress, I really am. 0:55:04.080 --> 0:55:07.040 And Crawford has a year left, it's at a high number. 0:55:07.640 --> 0:55:10.520 But if he can be if he comes back, he's 0:55:10.560 --> 0:55:15.480 coming at a different salary. Okay, but coming off the 0:55:15.920 --> 0:55:18.120 if you if you're trying to be a multiple defense 0:55:18.520 --> 0:55:20.719 with Mike Nolan, I think he could fit that if 0:55:20.760 --> 0:55:22.520 he's healthy, because he can kind of do whatever you 0:55:22.640 --> 0:55:25.440 need him to do across the front. Yeah, and he's 0:55:25.440 --> 0:55:29.080 a leader. Man, there's this time if he's willing. Yeah, yeah, 0:55:29.440 --> 0:55:31.560 you have to manage his time, you know, somebody coming 0:55:31.600 --> 0:55:35.000 off with those injuries and replace me as you got them. Well, yeah, 0:55:35.239 --> 0:55:37.480 you know, we sit here and talk about the offense 0:55:37.560 --> 0:55:42.800 and talk about DAK. The problem is the defense because 0:55:42.840 --> 0:55:45.120 they did not win a game when they didn't score 0:55:45.239 --> 0:55:49.120 thirty points. Sometimes you gotta win twenty four twenty one, 0:55:50.320 --> 0:55:53.120 you know, and and they never did it. The Super 0:55:53.160 --> 0:55:56.239 Bowl should have been won, what twenty four twenty right 0:55:56.360 --> 0:56:02.240 until the garbage touchdown? Right? Correct? Well, and if the Niners, 0:56:02.520 --> 0:56:04.239 you know, are able to get some first downs at 0:56:04.280 --> 0:56:06.160 the end of the game, they won at twenty to seventeen. 0:56:07.160 --> 0:56:10.839 What's going back to that. Shanahan's taken a lot of heat. 0:56:10.920 --> 0:56:13.120 He's taken a lot of heat. You know what I 0:56:13.239 --> 0:56:17.080 think I think Atlanta Falcon's Patriots Super Bowl is feeding 0:56:17.120 --> 0:56:20.120 into some of that because they twenty eight three all that. 0:56:20.280 --> 0:56:22.799 But I went back and watched the game again last night, 0:56:23.080 --> 0:56:26.680 Nerdy me, and you know, there were things that happened 0:56:26.719 --> 0:56:30.400 that were out of his control that it wasn't his fault, 0:56:30.480 --> 0:56:32.759 like well, he didn't run the ball enough or he 0:56:32.880 --> 0:56:36.279 threw the ball too much. We're back to the whole thing. 0:56:36.440 --> 0:56:40.000 Whatever works, is right, you know, this whole thing about 0:56:40.040 --> 0:56:43.120 the half that you know, and you know in Troy 0:56:43.400 --> 0:56:46.080 kind of started it by saying, oh, they're not going 0:56:46.120 --> 0:56:49.080 to call time out. You know, I thought the same thing. Okay, 0:56:49.320 --> 0:56:52.640 But as I told you yesterday, it's like, here's what 0:56:52.760 --> 0:56:56.279 it would have happened had had they left they called 0:56:56.360 --> 0:56:58.279 time out, and they don't, and they got a punt. 0:56:59.360 --> 0:57:02.279 How close did that guy come on the punt to 0:57:02.480 --> 0:57:04.640 throwing the ball back and getting it down at the 0:57:04.719 --> 0:57:08.440 two yard line? Right? And now now San Francisco's got 0:57:08.520 --> 0:57:10.680 the ball at the two with a minute to go, 0:57:11.280 --> 0:57:14.919 and Kansas City's got all three timeouts, so you're gonna 0:57:14.920 --> 0:57:18.280 have to come out otherwise you're punting and they're gonna 0:57:18.320 --> 0:57:21.880 call timeout, timeout, timeout, and they're gonna get the ball 0:57:21.960 --> 0:57:25.000 back at the fifty forty yard line and now, And 0:57:25.120 --> 0:57:28.040 I'm sure that's what he was thinking. He wasn't thinking, Oh, 0:57:28.120 --> 0:57:30.120 I got to take the ball and score. He was thinking, 0:57:30.160 --> 0:57:33.040 I can't let them score. I can't score. I think 0:57:33.080 --> 0:57:35.880 you're you're onto something. Everson talked about how the defense 0:57:36.040 --> 0:57:39.200 didn't make the plays. That's not that's not Kyle Shanahan 0:57:39.280 --> 0:57:43.800 calling plays. Jimmy Gee's got Emmanuel Sanders deep. He's got 0:57:44.000 --> 0:57:47.280 me right, I mean, play the game. That's to play 0:57:47.360 --> 0:57:49.600 the game. And then he got criticized for throwing the 0:57:49.640 --> 0:57:51.480 ball in the fourth quarter. Well, if you go look 0:57:51.520 --> 0:57:56.760 at their last possession, I counted up eight passes they 0:57:56.880 --> 0:58:00.720 had they threw after it was twenty four to twenty. Well, 0:58:00.800 --> 0:58:03.760 of course you're you only got a minute or so left. 0:58:03.760 --> 0:58:06.360 You got to throw the ball every down. So it 0:58:06.480 --> 0:58:09.600 wasn't like he abandoned their game plan in the fourth quarter. 0:58:10.240 --> 0:58:12.680 If he hits the receiver, we're not even having this 0:58:12.720 --> 0:58:16.520 conver and he's wide open. Wow, were replaying Montana to 0:58:16.640 --> 0:58:21.440 John Taylor. Highlights from that game. How was I went 0:58:21.520 --> 0:58:23.360 down just to see the end of the last drive 0:58:25.360 --> 0:58:30.200 I did? I was comfortably remember, Yeah you see, yeah, 0:58:30.320 --> 0:58:35.880 you see John. It's a great Yeah. All right, we're 0:58:35.960 --> 0:58:42.080 back with more Talking Cowboys next Tuesday. Yes, this has 0:58:42.120 --> 0:58:44.920 been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the 0:58:45.120 --> 0:58:46.680 Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
