On the day after the season opener 7 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,560 Speaker 1: of the kickoff to the NFL season in Tampa, Florida, 8 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 1: Everson some of us made it back in time for 9 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 1: the show. Headline Act did not make it back for 10 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: some reason. I don't know what Mickey had told me earlier, 11 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: earlier in the week that yeah, he was on that 12 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: seven thirty flight, just like I was. And then I 13 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: get to the airport, there's no Mickey. And now here 14 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: I get to the Star in Frisco and there's no Mickey. 15 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: What is going on with Mickey? It can't be by choice. 16 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,759 Speaker 1: No one wants to stay in Florida overnight. They don't 17 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: have to. Oh yeah, this is definitely something necessary. That's 18 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: why we guys back. There's no problem. Well, maybe he 19 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: got back to his hotel room like I did at 20 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: two o'clock in the morning and realized oh, this five 21 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: o'clock wake up call for this flight. Maybe I need 22 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: to adjust my schedule. You guys have to be geek. Man, 23 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: y'all have to be geek. Could could you sleep you 24 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: know after the game like that? Well, after the post 25 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 1: game stuff, you know it. It's the process after the game, 26 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: waiting on the press conferences and then it winds you down. Yeah. Yeah. 27 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: And then the fact that, okay, I have to wake 28 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: up in three hours. That'll wind you down too. But 29 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: Mickey apparently is en route. He is flying here now. 30 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: If it was anything like my flight, he is already 31 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: now supposedly he I think his flight is supposed to 32 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: land at one fifty or two o'clock. Okay, so he 33 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: should be joining us here shortly. If it's anything like 34 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: my flight this morning, his plane has already landed at 35 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: DFW Airport and they're waiting for a gate to open 36 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: for the day. We got good news and bad news 37 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: from the captain. We made it here early, but no 38 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: one was ready for us, so we'll be sitting on 39 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: the runway. Yeah. I told this, bad's gonna be in 40 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: the bathroom like die Hard, reporting from from the rest 41 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 1: from the lavatory, you know, on the plane trying to 42 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: find out what we're talking about. So we'll hear from 43 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: him some. Okay, So in the meantime, Everson, the floor 44 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: is yours. I can't wait to hear what your take 45 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: is on what happened last night in Tampa. And I 46 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: think that at the conclusion of it, here's the way 47 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: I looked at it. Okay, one game. Now, we got 48 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: a sixteen game regular season still to be played here, 49 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: and so that was the preseason last night. Boy, that 50 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: was a good preseason. The way this man I was 51 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: geeked last night, I was geeked this morning. I just 52 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: loved the game itself. That was real football there. You know, 53 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: a lot of scores were put up, you know, so 54 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: it's not necessarily the traditional defensive struggle that you wanted, 55 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: especially considering Tampa Bay had the number one defense in 56 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: the league and Cowboys came out and diced them up 57 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 1: from really series one. I thought Dak showed, he showed 58 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: his poise because I'm thinking when the game started, it's 59 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: no way he's gonna be able to calm himself down. 60 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: You know, he hadn't played an eleven months and he's 61 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: coming out here. The hype has been going on all 62 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: off season, especially as we got close to the game, 63 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: just got crazy, crazy hype, everybody questioning him with the shoulder, 64 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: how's the leg gonna look? I was nervous. I was 65 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: probably more nervous than he was. But the Cowboys themselves 66 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: had so much confidence in him, and you know, that's 67 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: that's so refreshing that they have. First of all, they 68 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: paid him, you know, and he had the confidence that 69 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: he was gonna get paid. All this time everybody was saying, oh, 70 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: it's too much money. Now he gets paid. He realizes 71 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: the responsibility, which he always did. But now being able 72 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 1: to come out and show against the best defense on 73 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 1: the biggest stage, against probably the best quarterback in the 74 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: history of the NFL, it was just refreshing and exciting 75 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: to see the Cowboys show some type of not just competence, 76 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: but competitiveness, you know, from both sides of the ball. 77 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting because I was there doing live 78 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: shots for CBS eleven starting at let's see, the game 79 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: started Eastern time at eight o'clock, and so we started 80 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: at We got there about four o'clock Eastern time, three 81 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 1: o'clock Dallas time, and Dak was out there was he 82 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: Dack and and Zeke were their first starters that were 83 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: out on the field. The inactives came out and worked 84 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: out for a little bit first, and then the first 85 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: arders out there were Tyring and Lyle they were stretching whatever, 86 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 1: and then Dak and Zeke where they were out there 87 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: and doing the little yoga routine, the karaoke and all 88 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: that stuff. That's good stuff. And you know that it's 89 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: the process that Dak does. We you know, watch it 90 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: at training camp every day. There's it. I want to say, 91 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: it's probably a pretty much a twenty minute workout that 92 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: he does. Just the bridge poles. I do that in yoga. 93 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: He get the bridge poles. I didn't know he's doing 94 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. Yeah, good for the core, but 95 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: but beyond that, I mean, he works up a really 96 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: good especially in Tampa. You I mean, I was working 97 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,359 Speaker 1: up a good sweat and they he was fully clothed, 98 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, well he uh yeah, had the 99 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: long sleeves, sweats right, sweats on and uh But to 100 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: your point, you know, getting being so hyped, I think 101 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: I don't know if I can compare it with what 102 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: his normal pregame routine is I can compare it to 103 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 1: what I was seeing on the other end of the field, 104 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: which was no Tampa Bay players out on the field. 105 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: Maybe they had some place to work out, But this 106 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 1: was literally two hours before the game, and he's out there, 107 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: and I want to say, he's just getting used to 108 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: the elements. He's getting used to the field. He's getting 109 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: you know. And also I think it probably calms him, 110 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: calms him down, and it just makes it especially his 111 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: first game back in eleven months. UH, it got him 112 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: acclimated to the situation. You know. Now he did, he 113 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: did a great job. And yeah, we'll get into this 114 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: all of this later, but I just like the way 115 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: the entire UH team responded because you're talking about being 116 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 1: out there early. Could you hear yourself talk oh pre game, 117 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: pre game? You could, yeah, but but I mean, and 118 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: and you know that there was an early arriving crowd 119 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 1: and so on the radio, it was just loud so 120 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: pre game. When the traditional pre game started, which is 121 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: a little less than an hour before kicking off, a 122 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: seven twenty kickoff, and so teams came out around just 123 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: after six twenty and they were already I want to 124 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: say the stands probably were pretty close to be in 125 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: half full because everybody wanted to get there early because 126 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: they were having their Super Bowl ceremony, which was unusual 127 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: that you would have that, you know, because they weren't 128 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: able to really celebrate before, you know, outside of course 129 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: they had their their parade and everything, but but this 130 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: was the first time. You know, I'd forgotten what the 131 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: attendance was at the Super Bowl, and it was twenty 132 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: four thousand and so it was one third the crowd 133 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: at the super Bowl. And of course they aren't Tampa 134 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: Bay fans that even it was their home stadium. There's 135 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: so many corporate tickets that are sold at a Super Bowl, 136 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: and so this was their opportunity to celebrate, and they 137 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: were made sure that they're going to get be in 138 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: their seat at least a half Yeah, that's right. I know. 139 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: I could hear Bread and Babe trying to try to 140 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: talk over the crowd, and and I remember Babe was 141 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: trying to make a point, and then the middle of 142 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: his point, he goes, man, it is loud, and they 143 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: couldn't even hear themselves talk. There was one other time 144 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: that that I think the Cowboys would have been in 145 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: that same environment, and it was actually a preseason game 146 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: after Seattle. This was back in oh four when Seattle 147 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: went to the Super Bowl and it was their first 148 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: preseason game. And that stadium is so loud to begin, 149 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: just just the way of it contains the noise in 150 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: there exactly. And we were just doing our pregame hits 151 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: before doing the preseason game, and I Babe's here, I'm 152 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: we're literally a foot apart, and I couldn't hear what 153 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,439 Speaker 1: he was saying, you know it, so that that was true. 154 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: Couldn't hear? Yeah, right, And sort of kind of the 155 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: same environment last night. Uh, But what a great game. 156 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: And who would have thought that Dak would wind up 157 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: in a game you might have predicted fifty eight pass 158 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: attempts for Dak if they were getting blown out, if 159 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: it was like one of those first five games that 160 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: he played in last year, or the first four at 161 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: least that he played in last year. The Cowboys, we're 162 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: falling behind one hundred yards. But I'm saying if they 163 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 1: had fallen behind twenty one points like they made a 164 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: habit of doing last year, now you're gonna throw it 165 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: fifty eight times. And you know this was in a 166 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: nip and tuck game and you're throwing at fifty eight. Yeah, 167 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,079 Speaker 1: and we'll get to it later. But it's almost as if, 168 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: I guess around the second quarter, it's like, hey, man, 169 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: forget this, We're just gonna duel. It's just gonna be 170 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 1: a duel. It's gonna be two two straight shooters, you know, 171 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: facing each other at sundown or whatever, high noon. And 172 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: that was a high noon shootout, that's what that was. 173 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: And it's almost as if Kellen Moore and and of 174 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 1: course Brady himself, they just decided to hell with the 175 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: run game. You know, we've got to make it happen 176 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: the way we can. And let's be real, the Cowboy 177 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: was kind of fourth braided into passing the ball. We 178 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,199 Speaker 1: were not going to give up a bunch of running 179 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: yards in this game, no matter what. I want to 180 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: ask you a question, did I see six defensive linemen 181 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: in the game at some point for the Cowboys? Well, 182 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 1: you know, it's interesting what the way dan quinn and 183 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: then we're going to be studying it further, but it's 184 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,599 Speaker 1: but it's interesting the way he's using personnel, and it 185 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,719 Speaker 1: may have I love the way, you know, in this 186 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: league you're looking at more and more hybrid type players, 187 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: whether it's hybrid playing a defensive end rushing from inside, 188 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 1: or a linebacker coming up and so forth. It's more 189 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: of a hybrid defense than you know. He traditionally has 190 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: been a four to three guy, and he has talked 191 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: about it that he is a You're going to see 192 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: more not what you saw last year, but the same 193 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: type ideas of last year in terms of a hybrid 194 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: between a four three and reforms. So there would be 195 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: times where you might see it. And I guess what 196 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: I said, with Parsons being a football player, right, he 197 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: could be part of that, that defensive line, and he chooses. 198 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: The stellar part of it is it's hard to figure 199 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,839 Speaker 1: it out with the number changes to Yeah, Brady made 200 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 1: himself knowing about that. Yeah, but you know I saw 201 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: what we were definitely stacking the line with Biggs and 202 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: it was a few times Brady came up. Maybe he 203 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: changed a lot of plays. Yes, she is always coming 204 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,199 Speaker 1: up looking around, and you know that's he and Dak 205 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: were kind of doing the same thing. They were noticing 206 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: certain things and you gotta wonder how many times he 207 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: changed from a running play to a passing play. You 208 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: know because they we we we really left him no choice, 209 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: you know, and you know he's like, okay, I can 210 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: I can feast anywhere you want me to feast. And 211 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,959 Speaker 1: even though he did have some good numbers, the Cowboys 212 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: secondary and defense, they had all eyes on the ball. 213 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: I loved it. They were very aggressive and focused and yeah, 214 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: gave up, gave up yours, you know, Tip Brady of course, 215 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,719 Speaker 1: and Gunk and all these great receivers. But I gotta say, man, 216 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: when you when you walk away with four turnovers in 217 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: the game, you gotta be how defense plus three turnovers down, 218 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: You're you're you're thinking you're unless you're going up against 219 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: the greatest quarterback, Yeah, you're gonna win the game. Trust me. 220 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,079 Speaker 1: I've been down with Joe going well, all right, think 221 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 1: about this, um, when you're talking about Brady changing the 222 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: play so much, I think that's your credit to what 223 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: Dan Quinn was doing defensively, of course, and uh think 224 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: about this now. Quinn obviously he was let go early 225 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: last year with Atlanta. However, there are a couple of 226 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: members of this coaching staff who are on the Falcons 227 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: defensive coaching staff last year, adding Dirty as well as 228 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: Joe Witt, the secondary coach to them, well, we'll think 229 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: think about this though. The they Atlanta did not play 230 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay last year until two of the last three 231 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: games of the season of the regular season, weeks fifteen 232 00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: and seventeen. Okay, so that is when Tampa Bay was 233 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: in their stretch of winning eight in a row to 234 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. Week fifteen, the Falcons had the 235 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: Bucks down seventeen to nothing at halftime in that game, 236 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: so they were doing something defensively. Point my point is, 237 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: we have known since the schedule came out that the 238 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: first game is against Tampa Bay. Two members of this 239 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 1: coaching staff intimately familiar with what Tampa Bay was doing 240 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,959 Speaker 1: from two times playing against him in the last three 241 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: weeks of the season last year. And you know, dan 242 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 1: Quinn was studying the studying like crazy throughout the last 243 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: five months or however along it's been, and so they 244 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: were breaking out all the stops. But Tampa Bay was 245 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: doing the same thing, same thing, you know, the exact 246 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: same right. The mental the mental fight that was going 247 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: on on the field and off the field, I just 248 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: thought was extremely intrigued. And that's the beauty of these 249 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: openers is they've had so much time to prepare because 250 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 1: you want to get off to a good start each season. 251 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: And let's say it, regardless of who you're going to 252 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: prepare against for the upcoming games, if you're the Cowboys offense, 253 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: were really the entire team, you have to feel pretty 254 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: good about if you can do this against the Super 255 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: Bowl champions in all facets of the game, even the 256 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: running game. You Zie just got thirty three yards, But 257 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: to me, he earned every down. Believe it or not, 258 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: that he had some yards after contact, that that showed 259 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: what kind of shape he's in. It shows an improvement 260 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: from last year. He never was close to dropping the 261 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: ball at all in the game. You could see he 262 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: was intense, but yet playing within himself, sacrifice himself on 263 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: many blitzes to what he just threw himself on the sword. 264 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: You know, I saw maturity from players and from a 265 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: team that is totally different from what I saw last year. Right, 266 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: And a lot of times it was Dak putting Zeke 267 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: in position. I mean what Dak did. And Neil Brady's 268 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: the King of Ben he has set protections and so forth. 269 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: Da is really good too. Oh yeah, and they were 270 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: both motioning to Zeke here here you go, and Zeke 271 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: has always been good at past protection. They're getting out 272 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: the huddle early, right, just the things that you saw 273 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: they were. They out of the huddle early when when 274 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: Dak's making his changes, they still got the sixteen seconds 275 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: left on the play cloud. And that's what you need 276 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: to where you're poised. Everyone everyone's on the same page. 277 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: Except for the false start, would be honest, didn't snap 278 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: the ball. I don't think the crowd started the entire 279 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: but really just him. Yeah, so you know, those kinds 280 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: of things didn't bother the Cowboys at all. That was 281 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: the only time I saw who had that crowd as 282 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: loud as it was. They would know if they had 283 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: no effect on us as a team overall. And this 284 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: was different than a lot of games against defending Super 285 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: Bowl champions in that this is a Super Bowl champion 286 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: that literally is bringing everybody back from last year. Yes, 287 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: you know, and it played so well down the stretch 288 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: last year and for the first time as a collective group, 289 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: just like all the teams had a full off season 290 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: to be able to work and so forth. Uh, and 291 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: we're going to see going forward, and we saw it 292 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: plenty of it, especially in the first half, antony o'brown 293 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: with you know, that's a totally different element to their offense. 294 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: We kind of touched on twelve games before the game. 295 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: He was prominent in this game, right, yes, right, And 296 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: you could see it coming. All you had to do 297 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: is see what he did down the stretch last year 298 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: and his mind is right. But I think you just 299 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: you credit the Cowboys. You walk away with a bad 300 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: taste in your mouth because you didn't win the game, 301 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: but you feel pretty good about things going forward. And 302 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: as for Cowboys fans or anyone who is doubting this 303 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: team coming in, I think it was sort of a 304 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,360 Speaker 1: confirmation for the players because they knew that they've got 305 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: a good team, you know, but we haven't been able 306 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 1: to see that because we didn't see that they were 307 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,959 Speaker 1: they didn't play in the preseason. Yeah, we were nervous 308 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 1: that we were nervous that we may not see it 309 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: because we figured we would and didn't want our hopes 310 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: dash too much. But all expectations were met, especially offensively. 311 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: The culture I talk about, you know, Dan Quinn's defense 312 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: has never been a shutdown defense, but it's always been 313 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: an active defense. And when he first came here, I 314 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: remember saying that about him. You know, they never had 315 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 1: a bunch of talent on the Falcons team, but they 316 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: had guys flying around making plays when there was you know, 317 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,479 Speaker 1: when there was good for them, especially living off of 318 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: a great offense that had Ryan and Julio Jones and 319 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 1: these guys that they have. So I'm just liking the activity. 320 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 1: I'm liking the turnovers, but of course, you know, when 321 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 1: it comes down to it, I still want to see 322 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 1: better coverage. In the second day that we knew it 323 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 1: was going to be the weakness, I mean, I knew 324 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,719 Speaker 1: that we would overcompensate with the run, which is what 325 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 1: we did. You know, there was no factor at all 326 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: in regards to the running game, and you knew Brady 327 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: was going to open it up. You knew you were 328 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: gonna have problems with these three wide receivers, and I 329 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 1: was a bit surprised. Mike Evans, yep, I was disappointed 330 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: in him. He seemed to be not engaged at all 331 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: in this ball game. And I'm wondering if it was 332 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 1: Trey Vaughn that was really giving them some hassles. The 333 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 1: active zone that we had two passes really could have 334 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 1: been just with a little bit extra effort, maybe a 335 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 1: little bit bad throat, could have had two more interceptions 336 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 1: underneath Jordan Lewis. As much as I keep wanting to discount, 337 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: this guy came up and made really some key plays. 338 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: I mean, he has some issues just by the size 339 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: of him. Honest, I don't know how he does it. 340 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: He looks like he's smacked nol out there run around. 341 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 1: But this guy still active, and that when you're that 342 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: small and you have a good team around you, it's 343 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: easy to blend in with that same activity. And he 344 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 1: always did have activity, but it just needed help. The 345 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: way we approached the ball player, the way that we 346 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 1: left no way out when we with good tackling, we 347 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: didn't see small plays turning into big, goofy plays that 348 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 1: made us look so incompetent. You saw none of that. 349 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,400 Speaker 1: You saw guys getting beat. Now it's football, you're gonna 350 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: get beat. But you didn't see a lack of continuity 351 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: from an entire defense. That's the kind of culture I 352 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 1: wanted around here. You know, the flex defense. Come on, 353 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: we're back in the secondary of giving it up back 354 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 1: in the eighties, but we were getting ours. We were 355 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:57,959 Speaker 1: giving it up because it's just the way it is. 356 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,120 Speaker 1: But we were getting ours. You have to get yours, Bill, 357 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: I always talk about that, you gotta get your turnovers 358 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 1: when it's time, and those want accidental turnovers. That was 359 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: the turns because guys had their eyes on the ball 360 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 1: and they were aggressive. All right, And let's get into 361 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: more of that when we come back here on Mick Shots. 362 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: We might be hearing from Mickey himself if he ever 363 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: gets off his plane on the way back from Tampac. 364 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: Mick Shots continues at the moment, Honey, big news.

Chargers, 421 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: by the way, play the Washington football team to kick 422 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: off the season. I can't wait to see how the 423 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 1: how the Washington football team plays because everyone's saying that's 424 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: our that's our main competician for the NFC East. I 425 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: have to see how well this defense. I'm sure it's 426 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: still gonna play. That's still gonna play well defensively. But 427 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: what's the change with Fitzpatrick coming in? That's I'm gonna 428 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: be very curious to see. Okay, so big picture, where 429 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,360 Speaker 1: are the Cowboys now in your opinion to what they 430 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: were at this time yesterday. As far as the chances 431 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 1: of having a postseason this year, well, you can definitely 432 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 1: say they had him as a division winner. I still do. 433 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 1: Oh you had him going to the super Bowl. So 434 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: in your opinion, things haven't changed the actually what you expected. 435 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: I thought that they would lose the way they did. 436 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: I actually thought it would be by two scores. And 437 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: we all kind of agreed that, you know, the cowboysn't 438 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 1: been at the end, and of course, you know, Brady 439 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: would make a play down the field, and it was 440 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: a lot closer than we thought. But still the outcome 441 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 1: was the same. You know, you're not going to stop 442 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: an experienced quarterback that wasn't talent, that won their game 443 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: in a two minute stretch. It was that was just experience, 444 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: That's all that was. Because if you looked at the 445 00:24:55,920 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 1: Cowboys team last night, I still thought they win the game. 446 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 1: I still think we may go O and two. You 447 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: know that that is a tougher sell in my own 448 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: mind right now, but I'm gonna stick with my guns. 449 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: Still think we end up o and two. But this 450 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 1: team is ready to explode. They are. They are. What 451 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:18,360 Speaker 1: you saw was a team that's learning a new system. Okay, Defensively, 452 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 1: they went up against you know, one of the better 453 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: quarterbacks and athletes in history, and they held their own. 454 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 1: They gave up three hundred plus years, yes, but they 455 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: held their own. So what they did was they kind 456 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: of changed the narrative from everyone else. They didn't believe 457 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: even those doubters are thinking like whoa, because of course 458 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: they they, you know, hold Brady in such high esteem. 459 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: The fact that you performed like that against him, that 460 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 1: gives everyone pause. And that's where we already were in 461 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: this room. So I saw a Dallas team that was 462 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: in shape. Did you see how Tampa's defense looked a 463 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:02,880 Speaker 1: bit fatigue? They looked tired, and the boys were bringing 464 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,679 Speaker 1: it to them offensively, right. I love watching that. We 465 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: looked like we were in much better shape and it 466 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,719 Speaker 1: looked like we were the ones in control down the stretch. 467 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: You are thinking more in the front seven or the 468 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: back end. As far as that goes, I would say 469 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: the front seven because the linebackers for Tampa they were 470 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: they were They were blowing, they were blowing. They were 471 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 1: have critical. Those those two linebackers, Lavante David and Devin 472 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 1: White are critical to that defense and they were. They 473 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,479 Speaker 1: have a lot of heart. They were they showed they 474 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 1: were great players. They played extremely fatigued and they were 475 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: still making play. They were so happy to see a 476 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 1: running play. That was their reprieved because when they were 477 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 1: trying to cover the past. The Cowboys had forced them 478 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: to go into a zone a lot of the times 479 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: because we were picking on the little cornerback over there, 480 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: and so those linebackers had to work a little bit 481 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 1: harder in that zone coverage, and you could see that 482 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: they were taxed a little bit. Yep. Um. So when 483 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: what sticks out more than let's let's talk about different uh, 484 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 1: let's talk about down the stretch. Okay, the the third 485 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:16,640 Speaker 1: and eleven Dak to cdee Lamb thirty one yards just 486 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 1: a huge play, I mean, and that's coming through in 487 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: the clutch. Okay. So now you're down there at the 488 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: third and eleven in the final two minutes, No way 489 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 1: you're gonna make that. And and you're down now into 490 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 1: quote unquote field goal range at the thirty four yard line. 491 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 1: Did what about the approach once they got to that point? Well, 492 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:44,640 Speaker 1: it never changed that Tampa Bay uses their timeouts, okay, 493 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: And and what I liked about it was we still realize, 494 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 1: we still realized that that zeke could be used at 495 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 1: that point. I believe we in we threw some running 496 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: games in, some running plays in, and we needed to. 497 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,880 Speaker 1: We needed to at that point. I like I like that. 498 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: I like those calls down the stretch because that's softened 499 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: things up in the middle, and they gave that even 500 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: more more room behind those linebackers in the zone that 501 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 1: they were playing. That's why he was able to steal 502 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: move the ball down the field. See the overall game plan. U. 503 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: Normally you wouldn't like throwing fifty eight passes in a 504 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 1: close game like that, but against this defense and who 505 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: can quarrel with the production that they have. But having 506 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,640 Speaker 1: said that, when you get down to that situation where 507 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: you're down inside two minutes and okay, they're going to 508 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: use their timeouts, you have to get a first down 509 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: at that point. And there's other situations where if you 510 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,719 Speaker 1: have a lead in your four minute offense, you have 511 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: to be able to run between the tackles and get 512 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: first down. And that's where they the Cowboys could not 513 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: get that first down. That extended to where you then 514 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: are taking the clock down to nothing in kicking the field. 515 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 1: I'm not surprised about that. I mean, you know, Tampa's 516 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: a smart team. They're thinking just like us. I mean, 517 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 1: they're already ahead of us. We're thinking about this post game. 518 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: They already thought about the pregame. They knew that the 519 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: Cowboys were going to eventually have to try and change 520 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: it up, and they were always ready for the run. 521 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: The linebackers sniffed it out so quickly for Tampa that 522 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: it was amazing that we sometimes got out of the back, 523 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 1: out of our own backfield. So you've really stuck with 524 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: what's been working for you, Bill, you know, don't You 525 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: really don't want to try and change it right now. 526 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: You know, what we're doing is we're having long handoffs 527 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: down the field. That's all that are right, Yeah, we're 528 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: going four and six yards, you know, little dinkers here, 529 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: dinkers there. And that's why the production was so good 530 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: as far as percentage was concerned, which is Brady has 531 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: made a Hall of fame living doing that same stuff 532 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: and being patient and then hitting the shorts down. They 533 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 1: were mirrors mirrors of each other at quarter hurts some Okay, 534 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: So we're in that situation where okay, it's get the 535 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: holding call that sets him back. Now you're third and 536 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: sixteen at the forty yard line, complete to Cooper down 537 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: back to the thirty yard line. So now you're in 538 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: position for zero lines forty eight yard field go at 539 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: fourth and six for a minute and a half left. 540 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: Do you think about going forth there? You just don't. 541 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: You just don't. Did not either, But no one who's 542 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: on that other sideline. Yeah, you gotta go with. You 543 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 1: gotta go with is the Aaron Rodgers thing from last year. 544 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: And that's what they keep talking about championship game. That's 545 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: what they keep talking about. I still it's still in 546 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 1: that situation, fourth and six at the thirty yards. We're 547 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: not talking about fourth and two or not. Yeah, in 548 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: my mind, it didn't even occur to me that you 549 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 1: would go forward and that there are times when you 550 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 1: have to just go with the traditional train of thought. 551 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 1: You know, you keep trying to get cute with it 552 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 1: because of who you're playing against. Really, the only the 553 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: adjustment they made based on who they were playing against 554 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 1: was how they came got away from the running game. 555 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: And finally Kellen Moore was like, look, we're we're just 556 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: gonna have We're gonna dule it out. Zee, just just 557 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: be ready, man, Dak will take Dak will put you 558 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 1: in position. You know you we're gonna have you been 559 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: our workhorse right now, you're gonna protect the quarterback and 560 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: we're just gonna dule it out with this guy because 561 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 1: we don't have time against this defense to try and 562 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: establish something this game. Forget the game plan. We're just 563 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: gonna go manua mono. And basically that's what it was. 564 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: Because a defense like that, we'll take you out of 565 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 1: the game plan. All right, now we're talking manua mono. 566 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: Now now, Okay, Tampa Bay's got the ball, and I 567 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 1: think there's not a soul in that stadium who didn't 568 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 1: realize that Tom Brady is going to matriculate down the 569 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,239 Speaker 1: I felt like a genius because I told you this 570 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: is gonna happen. Okay, right, we all said it in here. However, 571 00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 1: all right, it's second and it's twenty five seconds left. Okay, 572 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 1: it's twenty four seconds left, second and ten at the 573 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 1: forty two yard line. Right now, you''s a sixty yard 574 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: field goal. Okay, back shoulder, Chris Godwin, Jordan Lewis defending. 575 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: Was it a push off? That's a push off? Come on. 576 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: He didn't extend his fore arm, but he certainly extended 577 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 1: his entire body and shoulder and elbow to push him off. 578 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 1: And the only thing he did was disguised it because 579 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 1: he didn't extend his arm, but his entire body leaned 580 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: on him, gave him the shoulder. Basically, it's almost like 581 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: a flip. He gave him a flip and he went flying. 582 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: He didn't just slip down. That wasn't a slip down fall. 583 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 1: That was a you know, I've been I wouldn't say catapulted, 584 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 1: but I definitely had help in regards to how quickly 585 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 1: I went backwards. It was easy. It was an easy call. 586 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: That was an easy come. That's fine. You see what 587 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 1: was that last year or two years ago? Jalen Ramsey 588 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 1: got that call and he flopped like he was playing 589 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 1: European soccer or something. And you can't you tell me 590 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 1: we can't get that call. That was not a flop 591 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: and that was not a slipper. You know, they get 592 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: the call we got, We got that call. They called 593 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: that on us. Were we at home or was that 594 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: in the so far? Was that in so far? When 595 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: Jayalen Ramsey right, you're so far? Okay? So they got 596 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 1: that call at home? Yeah? Yeah, season opener last year? 597 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 1: It was it was the home field advantage, that's what 598 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: it was. Right. The referees gave him, gave him, gave 599 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: him grace. Imagine if if the Cowboys get that call, 600 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 1: then you shut them back. It's eighteen seconds left. It's 601 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: open unless Aaron Rodgers comes to town. Something right. Tom 602 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 1: Brady's on the other side. Yeah, but he can't move 603 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,600 Speaker 1: like God, because you know we're gonna bring it. Man, 604 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: We're gonna bring it to him. But at that point 605 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 1: they just get shut back to what would be their 606 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: own forty three. But they need to get to about 607 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: the thirty five for a fifty three yard field goal. 608 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,359 Speaker 1: It's not like that. It's doable. Yeah, especially with Brady. 609 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: I just just from the standpoint a theater. Okay, give 610 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 1: us some drama. Come on. It's almost as if the 611 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: rest were like it was a foreguard conclusion for them 612 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: as well. And so you can't get well, he's gonna 613 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 1: do it, He's gonna do it. Let's see field, I'm 614 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,280 Speaker 1: not gonna be able to get out of the stadium. 615 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna throw this. That's when the narrative gets 616 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 1: in the way of the real game. That's when the 617 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,399 Speaker 1: narrative gets in the way of the game. I hate 618 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,799 Speaker 1: that because we start giving people the benefit of the 619 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:47,800 Speaker 1: doubt all the time. The referees are human too. Imagine though, 620 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: if they've made that call, and now let's see if 621 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: Brady can get him in a position for a field 622 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,319 Speaker 1: goal in the last eighteen seconds, I think that would 623 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,880 Speaker 1: have allowed us to win that ball game. I truly 624 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 1: believe that. But like we said, we knew how it 625 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,719 Speaker 1: was going to end up. And when we had a 626 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,759 Speaker 1: feeling that the Cowboys would stay close, I never thought 627 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 1: that the Cowboys would take the lead. I didn't see 628 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: that coming. I thought we would be extremely competent in 629 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,360 Speaker 1: the game, but I didn't know we would handle that 630 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 1: defense as well as we did. Uh that through for 631 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,920 Speaker 1: four hundred. But I thought it'd being ugly four hundred. No, 632 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,440 Speaker 1: that was a master for four hundred. It was just 633 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,799 Speaker 1: the way they planned it. Uh. And like I said, 634 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 1: instead of trying to run the ball, we're just instead, 635 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 1: we're just bringing the linebackers up and throwing it behind them. 636 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 1: So we're getting four six yards eight yards. And when 637 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,239 Speaker 1: you talk about this core of receivers and tight ends, 638 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: I mean you had catches and then you had yards 639 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 1: after the catch. That's what I was impressing me. When 640 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,240 Speaker 1: Ceedee finally was getting stuff together. That was a huge 641 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,279 Speaker 1: play when I think he called a curl route and 642 00:35:56,360 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 1: he turned quickly. The defenders had no chance right to 643 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: saw that explosion equipments to get to and even Mary 644 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 1: Cooper just in those web very just more of a 645 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 1: minuscule moment as we were marching. He gets you the ball, 646 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 1: immediately turns and goes up field. There's no wait, let 647 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 1: me see where I'm going. Immediately he broke two tackles 648 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 1: and then getting up like five extra yards when he 649 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,279 Speaker 1: really should have gotten only about six yards. He ended 650 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:29,440 Speaker 1: up getting like maybe eleven twelve yards. All of those things. 651 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: That is a team that is focused. Okay, they are 652 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:38,279 Speaker 1: in tune with each other. Everyone knows exactly what's going on. 653 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,879 Speaker 1: You saw Zeke Elliott. Zeke knew it. By the time 654 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 1: this game had had gone into the second quarter. He's thinking, 655 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,960 Speaker 1: I'm not getting a hundred today, but I can do 656 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 1: some other stuff right and he it was. It was seamless. 657 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,360 Speaker 1: There was no bad body language, you know, it was 658 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,399 Speaker 1: only throwing his head in that one time he got 659 00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,279 Speaker 1: he got knocked backwards and one of the livebackers came in. 660 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 1: He threw us by the end, got knocked backwards and 661 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 1: stayed on his feet and attacked again. By that time 662 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:12,400 Speaker 1: the ball was gone. So just the effort from both sides. Really, 663 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,759 Speaker 1: that's what made it an exciting game, the effort from 664 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 1: both sides.

So what do you know, Mickey? Well, um, 729 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:27,480 Speaker 1: you know, I kept I kept hearing things about people 730 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,520 Speaker 1: talking about this was a moral victory for the Cowboys, 731 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 1: and you know what, it's only a moral victory when 732 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,239 Speaker 1: you don't think you can go out there and win. 733 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:40,520 Speaker 1: And obviously the way they played, uh, they thought they 734 00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:44,960 Speaker 1: should have won, and they should have won. To me, Uh, 735 00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:49,560 Speaker 1: they left and I wrote it in my column. I 736 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:53,560 Speaker 1: could count fifteen points they left on the field, and 737 00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:58,000 Speaker 1: it's almost like they beat themselves. You're first in goal 738 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,359 Speaker 1: at the eighth you can't come away. Was a field goal, Yep, 739 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,960 Speaker 1: you have a thirty one yard field goal. You can't miss, 740 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:08,839 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, And you can't miss an extra point. They 741 00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:12,520 Speaker 1: just left so many points on the field. I guarantee 742 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,279 Speaker 1: you when they go back and look at this thing, 743 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,400 Speaker 1: they're going to be sick to their stomach that they 744 00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:21,240 Speaker 1: could have gone in there, in that atmosphere and beaten 745 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,960 Speaker 1: the defending world champs. And I'll guarantee you. And I 746 00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,960 Speaker 1: know Bruce arians was against all this, all this celebration stuff, 747 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,960 Speaker 1: and he was trying to preach to his team this 748 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,279 Speaker 1: ain't last year's team. This is a new year or 749 00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:37,239 Speaker 1: a new team. We hadn't done nothing yet, right, and 750 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:41,560 Speaker 1: they almost got it right between their eyes. Well, I like, 751 00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:43,560 Speaker 1: I know what you're talking about as far as leaving 752 00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 1: stuff on the fields bags, because when Dak was rolling right, 753 00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:51,160 Speaker 1: Cedric Wilson was open. Came open a bit late, and 754 00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:55,640 Speaker 1: you could tell that Dak's vision was a little you know, 755 00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,440 Speaker 1: a little it was it was. It was compromised by 756 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:03,480 Speaker 1: two Tampa Bay defenders, one of them was covering someone 757 00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:05,960 Speaker 1: and like I said, it came open late. That's when 758 00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,120 Speaker 1: he threw the ball out to Zeke. I think Zeke 759 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,399 Speaker 1: got down to the two yard line or something like that. 760 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,200 Speaker 1: If he would have either made his mind and got 761 00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,560 Speaker 1: it to Zeke sooner or waited a bit longer, he 762 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:18,839 Speaker 1: could have gotten it to Cedric Wilson in the end zone. 763 00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,080 Speaker 1: Either one of those I think could have been a touchdown. 764 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:25,000 Speaker 1: That was a key actually miss. Yeah. Actually after actually 765 00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:28,960 Speaker 1: after the game, when he did his interview, he said 766 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,279 Speaker 1: that he got the ball to Zeke too late. Yeah, 767 00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,440 Speaker 1: he said, by his time I decided that's where I 768 00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,920 Speaker 1: was going. He goes, it was too late that I 769 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,520 Speaker 1: almost looked like that Aaron Rodgers played last year. It 770 00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:41,759 Speaker 1: almost looked like that Aaron Rodgers last year. Do I 771 00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,320 Speaker 1: take off and run? Should I've gotten it to him sooner? 772 00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:45,960 Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden he's in no man's land. 773 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,680 Speaker 1: I mean, you can go through this game and and 774 00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,920 Speaker 1: not just the things I mentioned that, you know what 775 00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,520 Speaker 1: kind of had to do with scoring, which I can 776 00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,840 Speaker 1: give you five plays that any one of them would 777 00:43:57,840 --> 00:43:59,959 Speaker 1: have caused the Cowboys to win if it had turned 778 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:04,719 Speaker 1: out differently. It was that close the offense and defense. 779 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,759 Speaker 1: But again, you know, we talked about the defense. Looks 780 00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:11,880 Speaker 1: like it was going to be better. They got absolutely 781 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,520 Speaker 1: no pressure on Tom Brady. H And you know, I 782 00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:20,920 Speaker 1: know Antonio Brown beat U Anthony Brown on the forty 783 00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,800 Speaker 1: seven yard touchdown, But he had all day to throw 784 00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,839 Speaker 1: the ball all day. Bill. We talked about it when 785 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:30,600 Speaker 1: we did that segment with you out on the Bay River. 786 00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,680 Speaker 1: He sat how many times did he pat the ball 787 00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:35,880 Speaker 1: before he threw it? You know you laughed when I 788 00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,439 Speaker 1: said that, But no, no, that's what happened on that play. 789 00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:42,239 Speaker 1: Here's the thing about that play, and this is why 790 00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:45,239 Speaker 1: you need to know what's going on and what the 791 00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:49,759 Speaker 1: tendencies are of Tom Brady. I heard Chris Collins was 792 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,839 Speaker 1: say it last year. Anytime Tom Brady gets on the 793 00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,960 Speaker 1: other side of the fifty yard line, he's gonna go deep. 794 00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:00,840 Speaker 1: He did in the first half, came and works with Brown, 795 00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,640 Speaker 1: and in the second half he tried it, and all 796 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,080 Speaker 1: of a sudden Brown was ready for it. In the 797 00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:08,680 Speaker 1: second half, when they get on the other side of 798 00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:10,600 Speaker 1: the fifty yard line, you give him a first down, 799 00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:14,600 Speaker 1: a second is short, Brady is going for the end zone. 800 00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,960 Speaker 1: That is the tail on him that goes all the 801 00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:21,359 Speaker 1: way back to when he was a young man. When 802 00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,200 Speaker 1: you get on the other side of the fifty yard line. 803 00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,080 Speaker 1: We're going deep, and we're not doing it with the 804 00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:28,440 Speaker 1: slot guy. We're gonna do it on the outside. That 805 00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:31,200 Speaker 1: I know, and I don't even play ball anymore. Chris 806 00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:34,319 Speaker 1: collins Worth knows it. He doesn't play ball anymore. These 807 00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:36,680 Speaker 1: are the kind of things that you got to be 808 00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:39,200 Speaker 1: in tune all the time. And you know why he 809 00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:42,520 Speaker 1: does it because you've now moved into four down territory 810 00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,200 Speaker 1: and if he looks at it as an extra play 811 00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,319 Speaker 1: and he might get a PI, so you really have 812 00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,239 Speaker 1: there's no really no downside to that, and that's been 813 00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:56,680 Speaker 1: his strategy his entire career. I just know that Quinn 814 00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:00,680 Speaker 1: told the secondary that that was gonna happen, because if 815 00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,360 Speaker 1: Chris Collinsworth knows it, and if I know it, I 816 00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,160 Speaker 1: know the coaches know it. Yeah. But then it gave 817 00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:09,360 Speaker 1: new meeting to the Statue of Liberty plate. He stood 818 00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,120 Speaker 1: there like the Statue of Liberty, no one around him, 819 00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:15,600 Speaker 1: and had all day to throw the ball right. So 820 00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:18,080 Speaker 1: for me, the defense, you know, we talked about it 821 00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,440 Speaker 1: looked like this to look like that it was improving, 822 00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,759 Speaker 1: but they still gave up thirty points. They gave up 823 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:28,840 Speaker 1: thirty points. Point big man, this is Tampa Bay. You 824 00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:32,200 Speaker 1: think there's gonna come in and handle tom Brady like that? No, 825 00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:37,319 Speaker 1: how about giving up twenty eight points? Well, they did 826 00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:39,440 Speaker 1: give up twenty eight points and then there was a 827 00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:43,160 Speaker 1: push off, Mickey, Was that a push off? I think 828 00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:46,720 Speaker 1: it was a pretty good shove. I think even the referee. 829 00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:48,880 Speaker 1: The referee said it was a push off. He called it. 830 00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:54,680 Speaker 1: I heard the analysts, look one, you know one twenty four? 831 00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,400 Speaker 1: You know what when? When when they when they kicked 832 00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:00,240 Speaker 1: the field goal? And I saw one twenty four? I said, 833 00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:07,200 Speaker 1: oh no, everybody did everybody for a field goal? Mickey, 834 00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,600 Speaker 1: Let me ask you this now, because this is what's 835 00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,600 Speaker 1: being talked about on sports talk radio. As you turn 836 00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:17,160 Speaker 1: on your car radio and you leave the airport, all right, 837 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,319 Speaker 1: fourth and six with a minute twenty four left, fourth 838 00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:22,880 Speaker 1: and six at the thirty, do you go for it 839 00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,200 Speaker 1: and not kick the forty eight yard field goal knowing 840 00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:29,360 Speaker 1: that Tom Brady's on the other sideline. No. My my 841 00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:31,800 Speaker 1: thinking was you don't kick the field goal because I 842 00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,680 Speaker 1: don't trust the kicker. Oh yeah's a good one. Yeah, 843 00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:36,719 Speaker 1: we have to do. We have to get So if 844 00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,640 Speaker 1: you were if you were making the call. You would 845 00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:41,840 Speaker 1: have gone for it, not because it's Brady on the 846 00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,920 Speaker 1: other sideline, but because you don't trust that the kickers 847 00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:47,359 Speaker 1: going back the field. And I think when it got 848 00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:51,520 Speaker 1: to to that that fourth and six, I think you 849 00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,480 Speaker 1: had to go ahead and kick the field goal and 850 00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:57,200 Speaker 1: just hope your defense can hang in. But I don't 851 00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:00,720 Speaker 1: know that. I was being so facetious, man, I ain't 852 00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:05,799 Speaker 1: trusting this guy, especially after his performance. Well, you know what, 853 00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,280 Speaker 1: I had a feeling he would come through those bags. 854 00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,640 Speaker 1: I was always worried about that in preseason. You know, 855 00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:15,080 Speaker 1: when he's not kicking, not kicking in training camp, and 856 00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,200 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, he'll turn it on. He only needs 857 00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:19,480 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks to be ready. And then he 858 00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:23,879 Speaker 1: shanks a thirty one yard or extra point. Come on, man, 859 00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:27,640 Speaker 1: and then the extra point off the upright, come jesus. 860 00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,960 Speaker 1: I think I think he'll be okay. Those bags. I 861 00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,320 Speaker 1: think he'll be okay. I think he got the jitters 862 00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,360 Speaker 1: out of the way. I think their line is going 863 00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,839 Speaker 1: to be just fine. That for the that was that 864 00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,440 Speaker 1: was huge in his eyes. Now, no, it was that 865 00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,879 Speaker 1: was huge for him. He gained his confidence back again. Yeah, 866 00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,440 Speaker 1: so the big thing is he okay physically? I mean 867 00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:49,640 Speaker 1: it was it was it. There was the reason for 868 00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:53,799 Speaker 1: the inconsistency because he's has a lingering issue there and 869 00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,600 Speaker 1: the and was it by design they were kicking off 870 00:48:56,680 --> 00:49:00,120 Speaker 1: to the just my understanding that they were trying to 871 00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:02,640 Speaker 1: kick short because the one time they did it, they 872 00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:06,400 Speaker 1: stopped them at the twenty, right, Okay, it's five yards 873 00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,719 Speaker 1: and then got greedy and then they're not covering it 874 00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:12,960 Speaker 1: and then Mickums made him look like a man that's crazy. Yeah, 875 00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,439 Speaker 1: if we'll get into this next week, this this week, 876 00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:18,920 Speaker 1: but next week, but I special teams. Yeah, would definitely 877 00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:24,880 Speaker 1: have to give them a flunking grade. Oh oh no, absolutely. 878 00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:29,399 Speaker 1: The tackling wasn't good. No, uh. And and it set 879 00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,360 Speaker 1: up some easy scores for them, It really did, it 880 00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:34,840 Speaker 1: really did. And then and then what Tampa Bay was 881 00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:38,960 Speaker 1: able to do with their punter um, you know, pinning 882 00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:41,520 Speaker 1: the Cowboys down and their own end of the field 883 00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:46,640 Speaker 1: and several times and then making the field goal. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, 884 00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,399 Speaker 1: all right, Mickey guy didn't miss his thirty six yards 885 00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:52,440 Speaker 1: or didn't it's right, uh, Mick, and I believe he 886 00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:55,440 Speaker 1: made all his extra point the temps. Yeah, okay, it 887 00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:58,680 Speaker 1: was only drama on our kickings, you know what. And 888 00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:00,279 Speaker 1: I was thinking, and I got to go back and 889 00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,880 Speaker 1: look at it. I was thinking when I was flying, 890 00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:06,000 Speaker 1: had they made the extra point at some point, they 891 00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:11,640 Speaker 1: would have had an opportunity to go for two maybe right, Yes, 892 00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:15,600 Speaker 1: you wouldn't have been two points lead. You wouldn't have 893 00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:19,480 Speaker 1: been two points behind or two point three ahead. What 894 00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:24,040 Speaker 1: do you want now? You want to chase points? Now 895 00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:27,640 Speaker 1: that late I'm chasing. So it was sport. Well, let's 896 00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:30,640 Speaker 1: say it's fourteen thirteen, then a field goal. Cowboys took 897 00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:33,960 Speaker 1: the lead at sixteen fourteen late in the second quarter. 898 00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:36,920 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, of course, came right back and took the 899 00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,680 Speaker 1: lead right back thirty eight seconds later. It's twenty one 900 00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:47,000 Speaker 1: sixteen play half, make it two plays, okay, and so 901 00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,640 Speaker 1: then a field goal to start the third quarter. It's 902 00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,600 Speaker 1: twenty one nineteen. That was the four mentioned the first 903 00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:57,200 Speaker 1: and goal at the eight possession and next possession, let's 904 00:50:57,239 --> 00:51:00,000 Speaker 1: an interception then the Tampa Bay made it twenty eight 905 00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:07,120 Speaker 1: eight to nineteen. So your opportunity, well, you scored a 906 00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:09,120 Speaker 1: touchdown in your next possession and that made it twenty 907 00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:11,839 Speaker 1: eight twenty six. So the chart, would it would not 908 00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:13,640 Speaker 1: tell you to go for two at that point to 909 00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:19,200 Speaker 1: make it twenty eight twenty seven obviously, because if you 910 00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:22,040 Speaker 1: if you don't get it, you're only down. I mean 911 00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:26,120 Speaker 1: you're down three instead of two, right it mathematically it 912 00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:29,920 Speaker 1: didn't make sense. Then well, Mickey, you got your bag 913 00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:38,440 Speaker 1: right now? It sounds like it sounds like it sounds 914 00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:41,279 Speaker 1: like Mickey got to his car a lot quicker than 915 00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:44,640 Speaker 1: I did this morning. Mickey, it took me an hour 916 00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:47,239 Speaker 1: and a half after the plane landed. We waited a 917 00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:49,759 Speaker 1: half hour for the gate to open for us. We 918 00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:52,680 Speaker 1: were early, of course, and then I had then I 919 00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:55,360 Speaker 1: came in at a different terminal than where my truck was. 920 00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:57,759 Speaker 1: It took an hour and a half for me to 921 00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:01,719 Speaker 1: just get to my truck after we landed. Well, to 922 00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:04,359 Speaker 1: see you getting benefits when you show up at at 923 00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:10,279 Speaker 1: two o'clock that early in the morning.
