Welcome to the latest edition of The Break. 0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:52.360 We are alive from the SWBC Mortgan Studios at the Star, 0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:54.760 and today we talk about the Cowboys win over the 0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:58.560 Seattle Seahawks. They win forty one to thirty five in 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:01.480 a barnburner. I don't think any any of us expected 0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:03.560 that kind of performance. And I don't know, I don't 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:05.840 remember all the scores, but man, it was a lot 0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:09.639 of scoring. But was it that many points? 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:11.600 Though I didn't have it that points. 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:13.679 Yeah, I don't think any of us thought that they 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:16.679 were gonna get that high. Like, there were no punts 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:19.160 in this game, zero, no punts in this game. 0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:21.640 Singer didn't have to shower. Yeah, it's free. 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:24.480 Money exactly, so, so it was. It was an entertaining game. 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:27.080 I had a good time watching it, and we're gonna 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:28.280 break it down for you guys. Let you know what 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.840 we thought, what right, it went right and wrong for 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:33.000 the Cowboys. Will start where we always started the day 0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:36.800 after a game. Storylines of the game, Patrick got's start 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:37.040 with you. 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:39.959 Let's go ahead and piss off some Dak Prescott hitters. 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:44.440 Not only does he deserve to be in the MVP conversation, Uh, 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:47.640 he had already deserved to be that going into this game, 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:51.560 but after this game in which your defense struggled and 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:55.040 we had questions on you know, did we have confidence 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:57.560 that this Cowboys offense can win a game for you 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:00.840 when the defense is having a bad day the series. Now, yes, 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.200 Dak Prescott has shown it, and he did it against 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.680 not only a team that's above five hundred or was 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:08.360 above five hundred, but we talked about how the Seahawks 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:12.320 secondary was probably arguably the best secondary dark Prescott will face, 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:14.840 and he basically took them to task for the process 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:19.200 of four quarters come back, another comeback win for Dak Prescott. 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:22.280 You talk about the capability he gets out of that 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:25.640 sack to find Tobert for the twinkle toes catch him 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:26.600 seventeen yards. 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:29.000 Who does that? Dak Prescott does that? 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:31.440 When he was blitched seven of eight for seventy seven 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:34.160 yards in a touchdown camp blitz him. They went to 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:37.320 zone after seeing him dissect man coverage over the past 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:40.320 several weeks eighty percent zone coverage. 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:41.080 Run by the Seahawks. 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.520 What did Dak Prescott do twenty six or thirty four, 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:47.160 two hundred and fifty six yards, three touchdowns, zero interceptions, 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:51.320 one hundred and twenty seven passer rating last seven games 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:55.000 twenty one twenty two hundred yards, twenty one touchdowns to 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:58.040 only two interceptions. Right now, he leads the league in touchdowns, 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:01.040 he only has six interceptions. He that means he leads 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:03.799 the league in interception percentage as well. And I could 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:06.359 go on and on, but also just watch the film, 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:09.120 watch the games in addition to what the numbers are saying. 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:12.320 And if you still cannot climb from under that rock, 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:15.320 if your eye test is still failing you, then by 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:18.480 all means, go invest in some laser because you're not 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:20.480 seeing the game as you should be seeing it. Dak 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:24.119 Prescott was surgical last night. He was everything the Cowboys 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.520 needed him to be the defense needed him to carry 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:28.120 them on a bad day at the office. He did 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:31.760 exactly that. There was nothing, I should say, few things 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:33.840 that he would want back. The throws were there, the 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:37.320 decisiveness was there, the escapability was there, and Dak Prescott, 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:39.920 let me get him for m VP right now, let 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:40.360 me do it. 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:45.240 Yeah, well, I guess it's my turn. Y'all looking at me. 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:46.400 I'll have a quick. 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:49.720 Well, yeah, I'll have. 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:53.400 A quick event session because yeah, I'm trying to be fast. 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:56.120 I get nervous. 0:03:56.960 --> 0:04:01.080 You know, people are just I'm a lady haun. 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:04.880 People people are. 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:09.080 Just like annoying the craft out of me today on 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:13.800 social media. Because first it was all right, well, let's 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:16.360 see if they can beat a good team. Let's see 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:19.760 if they can beat Seattle. That's the next one. Oh, 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.520 hold on, all of a sudden, Seattle is not a 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:26.080 good team. What are you talking about? The refs gave 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:29.640 that game away to Dallas. Oh oh my god, well 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:35.080 they're playing at home. I'm like, shut off, no, no, no, 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:40.800 kick me off of the show for it. Just it's 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:44.600 so frustrating because when it's not one thing, it's another, 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:48.039 and I get it, Like you're the saying of like, 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:51.000 you're only as good as your record shows. That's true, 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.520 but at the same time, something else can be true. 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.240 You can still be a team that gives you a 0:04:56.400 --> 0:05:00.320 lot of trouble and makes you really really work and 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:02.400 still not come off with the win for that team. 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:05.560 You know, for example, Seattle, we saw it. We saw 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:07.440 a lot of the things that you broke down Brian 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:10.920 on the scouting report. They are a good team. They 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:15.400 are they have talented players. So stop talking about this like, 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:17.480 well they're not a good team. Let's see what happens 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:21.760 with Philly. Oh, y'all barely won that game. It barely 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.839 came off the win. Well, guess what, plenty of other 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:28.799 teams Eagles have barely won many other games. So that's 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:32.600 just the NFL. So like freaking come back with a 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.840 valid argument. That's just what's frustrating. I just get upset 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:39.719 when it's like, now you prove what you've been talking about, 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.560 but they just won't shut up and get off my 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:47.000 get off my social media like commenting on my stuff, 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:50.279 get away, Like but or no, just keep doing it. 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:53.240 You give me views, you give me engagement. Sure, let's 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:56.359 just make a business out of it. But anyways, I 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:58.760 just wanted to let that out. That game was fun. 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:02.159 It was really fun to watch. It was so head 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:05.040 to head. There are a lot of things we watched 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:07.760 that you don't necessarily like, some of the troubles that 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:13.200 they had on defense, penalties, discipline, and a lot of 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.920 things that you should fix. But at the same time, 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:19.840 when you see such a head to head game, just 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.359 going back and forth, just seeing how well Dak was 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:26.120 throwing the ball, some of those long passes, those great catches, 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:31.560 that's fun. That's a fun game to watch, and obviously 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:33.520 a lot more fun when they come out with a win. 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:36.640 Every time I watched Tank Lorence play, it reminds me 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.360 how much I love him as a player. And when 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:42.080 you start to talk about complete players and guys that 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.200 have the ability to play the run, in the pass, 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.920 and in this league, it's a lot about the stats, 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:49.719 but every once in a while, you have to find 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.799 ways to win when it's when it looks pretty desperate 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:56.440 and dire. The fourth down stops, all three fourth down 0:06:56.520 --> 0:07:00.000 stops they had in that game yesterday was due because 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:03.239 because of Tank Lawrence's ability to play not only the run, 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:06.839 but to affect the quarterback in the passing game as well, 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:09.960 And so when you have when you're having a little 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:12.600 bit of rough day, you always got to lean on 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:15.960 guys that you know will go and make place. Dan 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:19.920 Quinn leaned on Tank Lawrence yesterday, excuse me, in their game, 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:24.080 and I just it just every time I sit down 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:26.280 and watch him on the All twenty two, I'm thinking, 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:29.880 if I had eleven guys like that on defense every 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.440 single time, we're going to do a lot of good. 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:36.160 Because he is one of the he doesn't get nearly 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:40.240 enough credit for how he plays the game and the 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:42.960 intelligence that he plays the game. 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:44.720 You know, his ability to. 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:48.160 Understand blocking schemes and what people are trying to do, 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:51.600 and the magnitude of the play at that right moment, 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:56.360 it was incredible because the defense we talked about it, it 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:58.160 was going to be a struggle. It was going to 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:01.040 be a struggle to cover these guys. The quarterback is 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:02.960 the smith has the ability. 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:04.120 To get hot during a game. 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:06.960 But you know, Dallas got after him at the end. 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:09.560 They had to make some stops and Tank Lawrence was 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:10.440 a big part of that. 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.640 That's really in a due point, Brian, because I think 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:16.520 even on that final play by Seattle, that final offensive play. 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:19.080 Mike's getting a lot of the credit for that play, 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:22.200 but what you got to notice is Tank Lawrence actually 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:25.440 gets upfield, and him getting up field creates the problem 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:27.760 where the running back can't release out into the flat 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:31.880 because everybody's like, man, why would you leave Micah unblocked? 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:33.800 I actually thought it was a great play call. That's 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:37.240 a great play design, great play call. DeMarcus gotten a 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:38.880 way and he was in the way to the point 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:41.240 where the running back can couldn't get that release. And 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:43.520 because he couldn't get that release, now the quarterbacks haven't 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:46.440 hold it a little bit longer. MICA's so extremely fast 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:48.320 he gets to the quarterback and it just makes it 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:50.200 to where that throws the whole play off if it 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:52.960 doesn't happen like that, and that running back's out there 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:55.720 and he can just loft it up. That's twenty twenty 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:56.560 five thirty yards. 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:58.920 When you really when you watch the play, they run 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:01.760 three guys inside to make it for all the picks, 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.920 and it's a it's a play that is designed, as 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.800 you said, Derek, to just run the running back over 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:09.679 and just lob it and then he's going to go 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:13.200 up the sidelines with nobody there because everybody's carrying routes 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:16.679 inside and so there's nobody in that area. But all 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:19.520 year long, Michaeh Parsons has been one of the tops 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:21.160 in the league when it when they when they when 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:24.920 they monitor the getoff times, the fastest get off times 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:28.079 off the ball, and Michael Parsons consistently is one of 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:31.880 those guys. But Tank's awareness to to to get over 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:36.400 as he's filling I mean him, everybody was aware of 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.640 what was going on, uh and and that particular play 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.079 and again the magnitude of the play and what they 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:44.800 had to do, and a great call by Dan getting 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:47.760 his guy home, a great job by Tank getting over 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:49.720 and being disruptive on the play. 0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:50.680 And keeping to the defense. 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:53.400 Because as phenomenal as Tank was, and he most certainly 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:55.880 was that as well, I'd be remiss if I didn't 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.679 give roses to Jordan Lewis. Also, Joey Lewis had his 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.840 hands full with Jackson Jackson Smith and Jig Bull, which 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:03.800 was the guy that I circled as far as a 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:07.720 big concern going into this game. And when it when 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:10.760 push came to absolute shove and you needed a stop, 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:14.440 here was Jordan Lewis flying in with a cape on 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:17.480 not on one third down, on two consecutive third down 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:21.760 drives where basically the Cowboys needed to get those stops, 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:24.120 and that's both of those times. That's what forced those 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:27.560 two fourth down conversion attempts, which then failed in large 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:29.760 part because of Tank Lawrence in that defensive line. So, 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:32.920 Jordan Lewis, there was some plays that Jackson Smith and 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:34.560 Jig Bull we had against him. 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:36.280 He was getting off against him a little bit. 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:39.200 But when when the lights got real bright and that 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:42.240 pressure came on and it was the Ohio State rookie 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:45.079 against the Michigan veteran, it was the Michigan veteran who 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:45.640 saved the day. 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:49.280 Yeah, I love a challenged Jordan Lewis, Like, is he 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:51.320 has that? Yeah? He is a He's the kind of 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:55.559 guy where he does not shirk from responsibility and from challenges, 0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:58.160 like he will actually step into that moment where a 0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:01.040 lot of guys, the worst it gets, the get like 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.080 I think Jordan's the opposite of that. The worse it 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:05.560 gets for him, the more he's resolved that he's gonna 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:06.160 figure it out. 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:06.400 Now. 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:08.600 I really like putting him in those kind of situations. 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:11.280 It was just fantastic ball from him to end the game, 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:13.640 and just the defense as a whole, because when you 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:18.120 talk about a team allowing thirty five points on their 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.400 home field, it's clear that they had a bad day 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:23.320 at the office, but it's also just as much about 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:27.760 what you do when it matters most. So if Jordan 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.280 Lewis gets those two PBUs and it's in the first quarter, 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:33.839 it's probably of no consequence. But he got them when 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:36.400 the Cowboys needed it most, and when his team needed 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:39.800 it most. Gave his defense defensive line a chance to 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:41.920 stop them on fourth and short, and then you know, 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.440 circling back, Dak Prescott went downfield and he did the 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:48.240 rest Jake Ferguson Ceedee lamb, the ceedee lamb drive. Oh 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:52.240 my goodness, he animal behavior from this offense right now. 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:55.760 And Mike McCarthy outside of the one play that I 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:59.000 really want him to never do again. If the opposing 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.439 team is out of time and you're in that third 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:04.240 down situation at that point in the field, just run 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:08.080 the ball. You take forty seconds off the clock, and 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.000 then make your fourth down decision. If you're going to 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:11.120 do field goal of a night. 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:12.600 Well here's what we're gonna do. I want to take 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:14.840 a break and we're gonna come back. And I actually 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:18.160 thought there were four decisions, four decisions that Mike mccarky 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:21.079 made yesterday. Yeah, four decisions he made yesterday that I 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:24.040 think are worth discussion. Not saying they're wrong, saying they're 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:26.760 worth discussion. I want to get y'all's opinion on these decisions. 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:28.640 That's one of them, but there are four. There are 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:30.160 three others, and I think we need to talk about 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:32.120 what do when we come back Dallas Cowboys dot Com Radio. 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:34.839 Todd thought it would be secure to jog in the 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:37.559 cheat of Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:40.680 bought online was reliable.

The segment brought to 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:15.200 you by blockchain dot Com. All right, let's talk about 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:18.200 Mike McCarthy. There were a few decisions in that game, 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:20.920 and there were a few decisions in that game that 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:24.240 I thought were worth that merited a discussion, and I'm 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:26.320 going to go through them based on kind of the 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:27.960 timing of the game, and then I want to get 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:31.160 your opinions on each as far as where you thought 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:32.880 it should have gone, whether you thought it was the 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:35.640 right decision or not. Let's start first with it was 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:40.160 Seattle second possession. There was a holding penalty, and Mike 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:43.840 made the decision that he was going to decline the penalty. 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:46.520 Now what happened was it was second and ten. They 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:49.480 gained three yards on the play. So as options would 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:53.120 have been, you accept it, you decline the penalty, and 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:54.960 it's third and seven that's what he decided to do, 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:57.840 or you take the penalty and you go to second end. 0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:00.240 I think probably seventeen because the holding half and a 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:03.440 little bit beyond the line of scrimmage. Was it the 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:03.920 right call? 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:10.280 I I questioned it because to me, I felt like 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:12.840 at the time, Seattle, when they get in third and seven, 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:15.040 they were going to find a way to make a play, 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:16.760 you know. I mean at one point in time they 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:20.240 were eight of nine on third down yep, and you know. 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:23.120 But I was like, move them back. 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:26.080 Maybe you get a sack, you know, maybe you create 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:29.560 a negative play, maybe you get another incompletion. Maybe you 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:32.200 forced Seattle to maybe have a give up play or 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:34.960 they handle a draw or something like that because they're 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:38.320 backed up. But I was surprised he took the play. 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:42.320 I really really was. I just I was like, just. 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:45.640 Move them back because Seattle was kind of a point 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:48.440 where they were kind of converting third downs on you 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:51.400 and it didn't matter the distance. But maybe if it 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:54.360 was like third and eighteen or something like that, there 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:56.120 would have been a different they would maybe looked at 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:59.120 it a different way. But you gave them third and seven, 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:01.560 and for them that was kind of in their wheelhouse 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:02.160 last night. 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:05.000 Yeah, I think it could have gone either way. 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:07.760 I think it was just my takeaway there is that 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:11.359 it was Mike McCarthy, you know, and Dan Quinn having 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:14.800 confidence in their defensive line and saying, okay, well, you know, 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:16.600 we figured that you can go out there and get 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:19.920 this on this next play. I could see it going 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:21.560 the other way and you say, like you say, Derek, 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:22.320 if you take that. 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:23.440 Then there's a positive to that. 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:27.560 When I saw it in real time, I was like, eh, 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:29.159 and then I kind of moved on for me. So 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:31.280 was it anything that would have changed the game of 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.840 outcome in the game of the game from my perspective. 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:36.119 So I don't know that I was fine with it, 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:39.720 but it didn't exactly ruin my moment that kind of thing. 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:42.000 So I see why he did, but I could see 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:43.760 why someone would argue against it as well. 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:44.640 Well. 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:49.280 At that point of the game, I'm still trusting their decision, 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:54.160 you know, like, yeah, it's still early, You're still going 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:57.840 into the game of several weeks where McCarthy has been 0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:01.240 doing a really good job call in certain plays. So 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:03.960 at that point in time, going back one, I'm thinking 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:07.600 I didn't think much of it. I'm like, okay, well 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:09.359 let's see, you know, I give him the benefit of 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:12.440 the down. Let's see how this turns out, but we'll 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:14.440 move on to when what comes next. 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:16.760 Well, it actually it ended up not hurting them that 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:18.720 that was the driver where they ended up missing the 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:20.879 field goal. They did get in field goal range, but 0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:23.080 they missed the field goal. I will say I was 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:24.680 kind of losing my mind on this one because it 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:27.399 just to me, it just went against the convention of 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:30.720 how you would call a football game. Like you take 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:33.840 the yards, and especially when you're on when we're on 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:35.920 their side of the field, you push them back farther 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:38.359 and you force them to have to convert farther, or 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:40.800 you play the field position game and if they're gonna 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:42.639 have to punt and you get more yards. I just 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:44.600 it just it was a little baffling to me. 0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:48.280 If it's safe, it's a five yard penalty, I maybe understand, Yeah, 0:18:48.320 --> 0:18:51.119 holding penalty something with you know, more distance to it. 0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:52.320 I'd be like, pack them up. 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:54.320 Yeah, holding can be like drive killers. 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:57.000 Yeah, I mean that's that's that's what they say, sacks 0:18:57.000 --> 0:18:58.600 and penalty the drive killers. 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:00.640 Yeah. All right, let's move on to the second one. 0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:03.600
