After a holiday weekend, and after 0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:46.600 a Cowboys victory over the Redskins on Thursday, this is 0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:51.400 a victory Monday. That's actually a victory Thursday around here, right, 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:54.560 it's actually Thursday at you got your days straight exactly 0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:58.160 exactly right, because the New Orleans Saints are fast approaching 0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:05.360 on this Thursday. To follow up Bill Jones's Rob Phillips, Yeah, yes, 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:08.600 how was your weekend? Everybody? Have we not done this 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:11.360 for a week. It's been a while, hadn't it. Yeah? 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:13.040 Whence the last time we did our show, y'all did 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:15.320 one Wednesday that I wasn't a part of, right faith, 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:17.399 that was the last one. So it's been a week 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:21.240 for you. Yeah, yeahs I do miss you know, it's 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:24.960 longer because you missed because Beltrey, I try. It's been 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:28.480 a full week. It has because I maybe Beltrey retired 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:32.000 sports stuff is get involved with our talk here. Huh yeah, 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:36.360 that's right. So but how about them Cowboys? Yeah, nice victory, 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:39.080 really nice victory, you know, and it sets you up 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:40.920 for this week. You know, you just this is one 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:43.520 of those things. It's you have to find a way now. 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:45.559 You know, we're at the point of the season where 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:48.800 you know, you just have to find ways to win 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:52.200 these games. It's a banged up football team. You're playing 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:54.400 one of the best teams in the National Football League. 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:56.320 You know, they're a complete team. That's just not a 0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:58.520 that's not a one trick pony, as they say. They've 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:00.480 got a pretty good defense too to go along with 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.760 their offense, so present a lot of different challenges. So 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:06.680 that's it's time of year for that. There's no time 0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:08.959 to patch yourself on the back, is there. You know, 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:12.320 there's there's not a ten day break after Thanksgiving. And oh, 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:14.000 by the way, you're about to face a team that's 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:18.640 won ten straight football showing up this week. No, yah, neither, 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:25.959 it's Texas Tech right, Nope, they struggled down the stretch. Yeah, 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.600 we're staying topical. I guess. Yeah, they made a coaching 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:31.640 change up in Lubbock. There's uh yeah, there's ways to 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:33.960 win these games, and you just got to figure it 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:37.040 out and and see, you know this is a good 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:40.160 credential check right now. Well, and then you sort things 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:43.480 out after Thanksgiving weekend in the in the NFC East, 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.200 you got the Cowboys and the Redskins at six and five, 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:49.440 and the Eagles come from a nineteen to three whole 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:52.040 yesterday to beat the Giants and they're sitting there at 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:54.120 five and six. I mean I saw that score in 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:57.560 nineteen to three and I in the first half yesterday. Well, 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:00.040 well the Eagles have given up on their season and 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.000 they came back and win. And then you look at 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:04.560 the standings and they're a game out of first place. Yeah, 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:08.200 and then yeah, come in here, yeah next week exactly. Yeah, 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:10.200 and they've got a Monday night tilt. I beleeve with 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:14.120 the Redskins before that, so we'll see how that all plays. 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:18.040 But they start bunching up in the NFC, by the way. Yeah, 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:21.280 and then yeah, you look at the wild card Seattle Carolina. 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:23.320 Both teams you've lost two are both six and five. 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:26.679 You've got four teams six and five, one six, four 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.079 and one and one five and six. That game last 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:33.639 night was huge, obviously for wildcard purposes. And I think 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:35.800 they said on NBC they had some kind of math 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:38.320 that said if the Packers losing, they've got a two 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.320 percent chance to get in now, and Minnesota's got like 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:45.320 a seventy three percent chance. I stand that stuff. Who 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:47.840 figures this out? Well? And then of course in the 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:51.760 game you get stats that say, well, now the Cowboys 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.040 have a seventy three percent chance of winning this game. 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:57.800 I thought that. I thought that college station the other 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:01.920 night too. I mean me too, me too. Three weeks 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.320 ago or three games ago, the Cowboys had like an 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.240 eight percent chance of making the playoffs. Now it's sixty 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:10.040 four percent of all analytics? What what? What? What? What 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:12.680 are god? Y'all sound like you're from the dark ages? 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.400 Why would you believe it? But did you believe the 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.240 eight percent? It's based on math. Yeah, it's based on 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:20.960 the other teams that have done it before. Well then 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:25.400 these aren't other teams, though, this is this is different? Right, Hiking? 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:30.160 How being wrong? Hik Harrison? How is your way? It 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:34.080 was wonderful? How ya Okay was trying to in a 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:37.480 way make his point that was a big game, big swing. 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:39.800 Now you've got some teams fighting to get in the 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:41.880 Cowboys again, I think they're still in the same boat 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:43.960 they've been in. They need to win their division. Just 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:47.240 take care of business. Here, into your home and get 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:49.920 your home game, and don't worry about because Carolina is 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:52.479 Caroline has lost three straight now, but they still have 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:55.240 a win over you. I mean think Seattle has a 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:58.200 win over you, so so still take care of business. 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:01.080 Speaking of these analytics, what was the Aggie's chance of 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:03.800 winning that game against LSU went on the fourth and 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:07.479 eighteen past play the yard shore of the first down. 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:12.359 It's just I think, yeah, you just gave him an opening. 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:16.160 You know I had that one ready. Sorry, Brian, Sorry, 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:19.440 Texas Satan played well in the overtime period they played. 0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:22.080 They played much better than LSU. Did they really? Did 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:26.240 you know that one played better? That was one two 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:30.479 point conversion better? One played better one one? What were 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.880 you waving your golden purple flag for one on here? 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:39.040 I just liked things to be honest, okay and act. Okay, 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:43.240 there was no got it, there was no accuracy in 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:46.359 that game. Okay. It was a great game, and I graduate, 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:50.400 I'm glad. I was gonna wear my white hat today. 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:53.200 That was that was a great game, But if it 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.560 was a Big twelve game, it was, how come these 0:05:55.600 --> 0:06:00.720 teams can't play any defense? That's right, That's true, true, true. 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:03.040 There was no defense involved there at the very end, 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.680 for sure. But now speaking of defense, you better be 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:08.480 you bet to play defense this week against the team 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:11.400 coming in here. Idea, the team that's this is this 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:13.719 is gonna be interesting because I don't think they've seen 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:16.400 a team and I'm not saying something you folks already 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:19.240 don't know out there. This is a team that stretches 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:23.479 you horizontally to make plays vertically right, which is they 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.400 create a ton of space. And the way they they 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:29.120 operate their routes, the way they're offensively, this is this 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:31.480 is one of the best offensive lines that I've seen 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.560 of the games. I mean, I mean, I'm telling a 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.320 lot of a lot of games of watching offensive lines 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:41.279 play this one right here. They got it. They've got 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.280 this thing figured out, and they they're never on the ground. 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:47.240 They're running backs run hard, their receivers do a great job, 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:48.920 they have tight ends to get involved, and they got 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:50.599 a quarterback that knows how to get them the ball. 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:53.520 So that's what I'm saying. Get ready. They stretch, You 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:56.880 stretch horizontally to play against your vertically. Be ready for 0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:58.840 that game and they give you and you got a 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:01.640 quarterback who gets every at the ball. Yeah, exactly, even 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:04.120 guys you never heard of. Yeah, they do that. That's 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:06.599 has that ever happened? What we saw on Thanksgiving with 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:11.880 their game four undrafted free agents with four touchdowns in 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:15.120 the win over Atlanta. I mean, when you're your role 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:17.120 and when that's happening, you know, there's there you know, 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:19.480 if you look at what Philadelphia want a game yesterday 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:21.680 playing with a bunch of banged up secondary guys too, 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:23.520 I mean there's sometimes you just have to play with 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:25.920 these guys and they and it works out well. Think 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:29.320 about you know, Cam Fleming playing the other day for you. Yeah, 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:32.400 we we haven't always been very positive about Cam Fleming 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:35.120 and his you know, and like oh geez, and and 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:38.040 you know, really during warm ups they can by the 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:41.360 way you're playing today, oh wow, okay, yeah, sure, I'm 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:42.920 in there, you know, and you've got two guys on 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:46.240 that left side. So yeah, you get sometimes you get 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:49.720 performances from people that are unique. Sure, but that that 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:52.160 she goes to show you though, the scheme that they 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:54.720 have the ability to have to plug players into their 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.280 scheme and the way that allows the quarterback to execute 0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:00.320 the scheme that they have their in New Orleans. You 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:03.160 don't want just don't want to play too long with 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:06.280 those guys, because then the next team sees what they 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:09.840 can and can't do. They get exposed, and they get exposed. 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:14.920 They still that quarterback though. Yeah, no I'm saying I'm 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:21.200 referencing Cam Fleming. Oh I'm sorry, I'm referring Xavier cia Filo, 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.720 who you know, would look like the first game, it 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:29.840 was really good the second game. So now you gotta 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:32.520 beat on what Cam Fleming can do and can't do, 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.680 and how the Cowboys were trying to cover them up 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:41.280 with no question tight end over there, uh brown uh 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:44.520 kind of motioning over there, and you know it wasn't 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:47.920 just him on an island. Like they sacrifice Chaz Green 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:53.520 right at Golden Point, Gold, Gold, gold Star and cookie 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:56.680 for the coaching staff for that ability to make that 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.680 adjustment and not allow somebody that game, because it could 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:01.240 have been very difficult for them. You know, if you 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:04.000 talk about Preston Smith and you talk about Ryan Carrigan 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.400 over there, and maybe you get a Jonathan Allen come 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:08.400 walking out there a little bit. You know, you gotta 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:12.320 worry about those things. Fill the novice in on who 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:16.160 makes the call on something like that from an offensive 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:19.600 coaching standpoint, As far as given help to a left tackle, 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:23.160 is it? Yeah, they didn't concert There was not a 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:26.679 lot of practice time last week, you know, but it's 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:29.280 been like going back to Atlanta last year. Who is 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:31.959 it that ultimately makes the call on Okay, we got 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:34.040 to give this guy help over here. I think the 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:37.000 offensive corner does. I think the offensive corners, if he's 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:40.600 calling the game, he has to tell the offensive line coaches, Hey, 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:42.880 I still want to get to this, and then the 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.840 offensive line coach then has to remind him, Okay, if 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:47.720 you get to that, I'm gonna have to have help 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:50.679 for that guy if you expect him to block lay 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:54.040 one on one is how much on the fly during 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:56.959 the course of a game does that conversation go on that, Hey, 0:09:57.000 --> 0:09:58.880 we got to get help over there, And then I 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:01.120 think it's with your own Yeah, I think it's with 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:03.240 your own I see, And I don't mean to harken 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:05.880 back to the LSU A and m game. But A 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:09.160 and M LSU was way too late of getting Greedy Williams, 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:12.199 one of the best corners in the league and college football, 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:15.880 over on Rogers. You know, they never I mean, Rogers 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:18.960 started killing him in the overtime period, and Dave Randa's 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:21.800 adjustment should have been, Okay, I'm playing a twenty five 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:23.959 yard field. I've got to get my best player on 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:26.320 their best player right now and try and stop this. 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:28.959 And he never got to that until it was way 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.160 too late in the game. And I think coaches are 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:33.440 like that that you don't want to wait too late. 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.560 You're gonna think, Hey, if we're going with this guy, 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:38.960 I've got to have this guy some help. I can't. 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:43.400 I've seen him not perform at a level that is acceptable. 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:45.920 I need him to have some help. And to Mickey's point, 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:49.600 give credit for them making that adjustment somewhat on the fly, 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:53.440 because it wasn't like last year in Atlanta with Chazz 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:55.880 and all that. I mean, they they thought Tyrn was 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:57.760 starting that football game, no question. I mean, I think 0:10:57.800 --> 0:10:59.880 Cam Fleming told us he walked in after warm ups 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.240 and they said, you're up today, by the way, Yeah, 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:04.080 so that you know, and they made, They made a 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:06.000 schematic adjustment. They weren't going to do that with Hyrn 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:07.440 if he was good to go, I mean, they would 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:11.520 let him take his guy. Yeah. So the big takeaway 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:15.040 from the Redskins game as far as what was since 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:18.160 we haven't had an opportunity to talk about that game yet, 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:20.520 what was it that impressed you the most about what 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:22.679 the Cowboys did in that game? I think that the 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:25.600 way that they went they gave up the four sacks 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:27.640 early in the game and in the half, and then 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:29.800 came back and didn't give up any I think that 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:32.080 was a really big key in this game, and it 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:34.760 looked like it was there could potentially be some problems 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:38.000 in the second half, but you know, the defense did 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:40.880 a great job given the offense some opportunity with some 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:45.120 turnovers and things. I really do like what I saw 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:47.360 from again, the left side of that offensive line. It 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:49.520 wasn't pretty over there, but at least they got things 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:54.880 done against a very difficult defensive line, difficult, difficult defensive front, 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:56.520 and you got what you needed at a zeke running 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:59.320 the football. And you know, again, Amari Cooper, what do 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:03.079 you need to say about that? They raised the hurricane 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:08.040 flag with Amari Cooper. It was like, the touchdowns were great, 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:12.800 but it's the warning going forward you want to blitz, 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:16.640 you better get there. You want to you know, stuff 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:19.440 the line of scrimmage to stop the run. You better 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:22.520 have a corner that can stand up for however many 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:25.320 plays you got to play man to man against Amari 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:28.880 Cooper because if you make a mistake, he might go 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:33.079 ninety yards on you. And so I think that it 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:36.440 was the thing that Sanjay Lal talked about. He said, 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:38.800 I don't know how productive he'll be, but his presence 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:41.080 will mean a lot. Well, I think his presence will 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:44.000 mean even more now that you've seen the production. It's 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:46.120 helped out Zeke a lot. There's no question about it. 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:48.679 Just his presence for the running game. To me, the 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:50.800 thing that stood out is they had three players in 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:54.000 the game, all pro, Pro Bowl type level that just 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:56.199 took over the game. Zeke took over the game, Amar 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.160 took over the game. DeMarcus Lawrence continues to have such 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.960 a huge impact what they do defensively, not just rushing 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:05.640 the passer. He's just relentless back there. And I thought 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:09.040 those three guys played at that type of level and 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:11.600 kind of mitigated. Like what Brian said, the strength of 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:14.440 that Washington team is their defensive front, and they kept 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:16.560 a minute for a while. But I think, you know, 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:18.720 the talent took over for Dallas in that game. That 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:22.439 was really impressive. And I thought that the mental toughness 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:25.319 of the team for the third straight game after they 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:29.520 lacked mental toughness in the Tennessee game. Remember, in the 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:31.520 third quarter of that game was tight game, and then 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:35.079 Tennessee just kept on, kept on, kept tight, and Tennessee 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.079 wins the game. And the Cowboys, I mean, it almost 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.360 looked like they were done for the season at the 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:43.679 end of that day. And for the third straight week, 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:46.560 the Cowboys had a game in the third quarter where 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:48.920 it was either tied or they were behind. In this case, 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.959 they were behind thirteen to ten. And that's when they 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:55.480 kept pressing and they took over the game. And at 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:58.199 winning time, they made the plays they needed to make 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:01.200 to take control of the game. Absolutely, I think Rob 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:03.200 was I think Rob hit the nail on the head 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:05.400 with the thing with Lawrence too. You look at the play. 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:07.040 I mean, here they are they try and chop him 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:09.280 down at the edge. It was a second time they've 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:12.400 tried to run that play and he was up to 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:15.520 the task the second time and him not to be 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:18.160 cut down in that situation with the ball going to 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:20.360 the outside and make the play he did. And that's 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:22.960 you know, we talk about turnovers, so and you know, 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:25.240 the Cowboys are getting their hands on turnovers. I mean 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:28.000 that's one of the things that we've kind of unfortunately 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:30.640 though with you know, with with the Woods. You know, 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:32.360 I wish you would have just been a little bit 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:34.680 more aggressive inside to get that to get that one. 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:37.200 But you know, least they're getting their hands on footballs, 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.000 and I think that's you know, Woozier, that was a 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:41.200 tough chance to off the tip ball of vander esh 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:44.120 But again, least they're getting their hands on footballs to 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:47.320 try and create some turnovers. It's, uh, you hope it's 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:49.400 the start of a trend if you're Dallas, right, because 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:51.200 I think in this game more than anyone. I think 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:52.720 you kind of spoke to it in the Atlantic game, 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:55.400 but this one's at another level. Yeah, you got to 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:58.200 create extra possessions. It's like it's like it's like arena football. 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:00.880 The team that's got the most possessions and can get 0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:03.000 one or two stops is gonna probably win this football 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:06.600 game Thursday. So can you give Dak the ball one 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:08.800 or two more times? It's probably you're probably gonna have 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:12.680 to do that in this game. You just gotta make plays. Well, 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:16.600 that too, right, that too. I mean defensively. Offensively, you 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:18.960 can have up the greatest schemes in the world, but 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:22.960 sometimes I'll guarantee you they didn't scheme a ninety yard 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:26.960 touchdown pass right now. You gotta make plays in this league. 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:30.920 You can't just keep grinding and going eighty yards and 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:34.440 fifteen plays. Sometimes you just gotta make a big play. 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:37.800 And that's why you have great players or good players. 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:40.520 They got to make those plays along the line. And 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:42.480 if you don't have anybody who's gonna do that, you're 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:45.560 gonna get beat. So they made plays because the longer 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:47.320 you have the ball and the longer you're trying to 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:50.680 drive something bad's gonna happen. There's more of a chance 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:53.800 of that. Yeah, they odds go up. Gotta make a play. Yeah, 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:57.960 So what happened over the weekend for you guys? Anything big? 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:02.160 We worked on Friday and Sunday, so there was no 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:07.640 weekend Saturday. We had Saturday at college football Saturday. Yeah, 0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:11.520 we did. We did nothing else big happened for anybody. 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:16.640 I became a grandfather for the third time. There Where 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:19.320 he's going with this, I was thinking none of us. 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:25.200 Jane Mars Griffith third graduation on the get a little 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:28.200 camera right there.
