Speaker 1: The following. Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is nick
Speaker 1: shot screening live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the
Speaker 1: official Dallas Cowboys apt now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls,
Speaker 1: and Nicky Spagnola Dallas Cowboys Boys stand. I gotta wait.
Speaker 1: Let it the holiday play out here, stay MPD getting
Speaker 1: to these second round of the playoffs. Let it all play.
Speaker 1: I try game number twenty two of this season. If
Speaker 1: you include the preseason twenty two out of twenty fours
Speaker 1: coming your way and ten Fransisco, it is a lot
Speaker 1: of games, it is, that's right, But this is two
Speaker 1: out of four. As far as we're concerned, it's a
Speaker 1: four game season. Here. Got the season opener under our
Speaker 1: belt last night, and now we move on to the
Speaker 1: quarterfinal round of this tournament. Bill Jones, Everson Walls, Mickey's
Speaker 1: Spagnola inside the s WBC podcast studio and Mickey has
Speaker 1: a new hoodie on a Dallas Cowboys hoodie. Yeah. I'm
Speaker 1: meant to ask you, man, what did you do? That's
Speaker 1: that's pretty sharp. I like that they had the pre
Speaker 1: Christmas sale at the warehouse oh you paid money for
Speaker 1: Oh woh really wow? Pretty good? All right, that is good,
Speaker 1: that's very good. And I think that song was playing.
Speaker 1: I was thinking, the fans need to memorize the song
Speaker 1: and then when they win a game, you sing it
Speaker 1: after like the fight song. Very retro and uh. And
Speaker 1: it also reminds me of Cowboy Joe, yes, of course,
Speaker 1: and and Mike McCarthy's sporting sparing Cowboy Joe Joe is
Speaker 1: on the sideline and yeah, Mike McCarthy's wearing it. You're
Speaker 1: gonna have to wear it again this week. It's a
Speaker 1: lucky charm, Cowboy Joe, change your clothes. Uh. No one
Speaker 1: was in my parking spot this time at the charter site.
Speaker 1: I thought everything is just wonderful. And you know, when
Speaker 1: I heard that song playing, it made me think, when
Speaker 1: what was it two minutes and change when San San Francisco,
Speaker 1: I'm already on Tampa Bay scored their frivolous touchdown at
Speaker 1: the end. It was Mike Evans catches that next ball
Speaker 1: at the onside kick. Things getting nervous there if you
Speaker 1: have a go ahead still it was it was a seventeen. Yes,
Speaker 1: the fireworks went off. The Pirates ship started shooting out
Speaker 1: the side. They're like, are you serious, You're getting your
Speaker 1: ass whipped and you're gonna Tom bradern it's Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: you know. They were extremely optimistic. And I turned around
Speaker 1: and I saw that was one of the few games
Speaker 1: I think I've been on the sideline before a game
Speaker 1: ended like it was over, so it was time to
Speaker 1: pack up and go down. And I'm standing there and
Speaker 1: this all happened, and I turned around and the cheerleaders
Speaker 1: were all lined up behind me and they had this
Speaker 1: perfunctory pasted smile on their face, like you gotta smile,
Speaker 1: I have to smile. And it was such a great
Speaker 1: change from when things started, when the bucks came out
Speaker 1: and they had this bag deal going on. The red
Speaker 1: lights came on, and it's like, oh man, the players
Speaker 1: are pumping fist and everything. They're coming out like like
Speaker 1: San Francisco. You know what. Yeah. Somebody asked me, what
Speaker 1: do you think the turning point of the game was,
Speaker 1: I said, when the quarterbacks came out. Tom Brady came
Speaker 1: running down the sideline at full speed, got to where
Speaker 1: he was gonna stop, jumps up in the air and
Speaker 1: throws his fist right and I'm going, look, does he
Speaker 1: do that all the time or is he trying to
Speaker 1: all the time. I don't know. But Dad came out
Speaker 1: and he was doing his trot out and I can
Speaker 1: see the look on his face like, Okay, we got
Speaker 1: this right. And it was nothing phony, like trying to
Speaker 1: create some enthusiasm. And I said, Okay, I think they're
Speaker 1: in for it now. After the first so the team
Speaker 1: was not nervous before this game. They had no anks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: as that was the word, right, that was the word right.
Speaker 1: Although after the first two possessions, I was going, uh,
Speaker 1: I got some anks now, Yeah, but so did but
Speaker 1: so did Tampa Bay. Because I think both teams had
Speaker 1: combined for minus two yards. I wrote down the first
Speaker 1: first down was nine h eight in the first quarter.
Speaker 1: It was the eleven yard passed to Gallop that he
Speaker 1: had to climb the ladder to go. It was amazing.
Speaker 1: Both teams had two possessions the first five minutes of
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, yeah, I mean you never see that
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I think I think that's good for
Speaker 1: US three and out, three and out, three and out,
Speaker 1: three and out in complete passes left and right. What
Speaker 1: do you? What do you? I just want to know
Speaker 1: which side do you think was the spark? Was it
Speaker 1: the defense holding you know, holding them twice, you know,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, here they come. The
Speaker 1: offense is clicking, you know, the lines blocking better. Now.
Speaker 1: I mean, let's face it, they were bringing it those
Speaker 1: first two series. They didn't just overthrow. Those ghosts were
Speaker 1: starting to appear against bags, but they're there there, They
Speaker 1: were creating ghosts, yes, because he was missing people too.
Speaker 1: They had a drop pass, uh you know, and um,
Speaker 1: what was I wrote down Smith on one hand? Incomplete
Speaker 1: m The timing was off just all the way around,
Speaker 1: which is typical of games that we go on to
Speaker 1: just screw up, right, And so I'm thinking maybe it
Speaker 1: was the defense's ability to give them give them a chance, right, okay,
Speaker 1: because you could tell you guys were opening and everybody
Speaker 1: just kind of nervous, you know, everybody was just geeked up.
Speaker 1: It just seemed like they just had a little bit
Speaker 1: too much juice going on at that time. And as
Speaker 1: much as the talk today as it should be, is
Speaker 1: about how well Dak Prescott played the defense and the
Speaker 1: way the defense played throughout the game. Out the game, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and when you look back at the Super Bowl teams
Speaker 1: of the nineties, those defenses, the Super Bowl teams of
Speaker 1: the seventies. You can win in the postseason, win your
Speaker 1: defense plays like that was. It was no content, It
Speaker 1: was no content, and and and did so, not only
Speaker 1: going into the game shorthanded at cornerback and then inactive.
Speaker 1: We knew Mullins was Mullin was out, and then they
Speaker 1: made na Sean Wright inactive. And I'm sitting there going, well,
Speaker 1: what the hell are they going to do at cornerback? Right?
Speaker 1: And we're thinking, now, Xavier Rhodes a little over a
Speaker 1: week after being signed, is gonna get the full amount.
Speaker 1: And he was one of the four and the other
Speaker 1: one of the four was Kelvin Joseph, who they weren't
Speaker 1: going to put out there. And then it kind of
Speaker 1: dawned on me, and I'd seen this previously. I said,
Speaker 1: you know, oh what, the big nickels gonna get bigger
Speaker 1: because they're gonna use mcquamu, who had done a little
Speaker 1: of that in the slot, and he's he's a cornerback
Speaker 1: and he was a cornerback. And I had caught word that,
Speaker 1: you know what, they might use him and leave Bland outside.
Speaker 1: You know why they were able to do that because
Speaker 1: of the opponent, right, because what Tampa Bay has a
Speaker 1: wide receiver and the way they use Godwin Godwin, And
Speaker 1: I was talking with Will McClay about it earlier in
Speaker 1: the week. You know, they miss gronk Okay, yes, and
Speaker 1: if you look at Godwin's yards per catch, it's like
Speaker 1: under ten yards at catch, I mean everything, as as
Speaker 1: they showed on the on the game last night. He's
Speaker 1: caught more wide receiver screens than any wide receiver in
Speaker 1: the league. And so when you have an offense that's
Speaker 1: built that way, you can play Mukuamu in the slot
Speaker 1: and Curse guarded. God want to light light and so
Speaker 1: they had they had Curse in the slot. So they
Speaker 1: went with the dime. It was mcquomo and then when
Speaker 1: they went dime, it was mcquamu came in and Curse
Speaker 1: did his deal and they manned, they zoned, and they
Speaker 1: did it. They did it quickly. Spat right, the rush
Speaker 1: was there. The three seconds was all that he had, right,
Speaker 1: and that that's what really uh you know, had everything
Speaker 1: that was the catalyst for the defensive success, you know, mum,
Speaker 1: I mean not mum, Godwin ended up with eighty five yards. Uh,
Speaker 1: but it took ten catches, so eight yards catch eight
Speaker 1: and a half yards. Yeah, and so they were not
Speaker 1: going to let him have anything deep. They did not,
Speaker 1: but he didn't they did. He didn't have time either.
Speaker 1: And as we know, as quarterbacks get older, they don't
Speaker 1: retire because their arm goes bad or their legs go bad.
Speaker 1: They don't like people nipping at their feet. Yes, they
Speaker 1: don't like that. That literally happened last night exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Carlos is that his name, Carlos Watkins? Yes, yes, young
Speaker 1: man was bawling last Yeah. I liked his energy, yea,
Speaker 1: even when he didn't make a play. You could just
Speaker 1: see that he's an unsung guy on this night. And
Speaker 1: then even Hankins, right, and they I thought they set
Speaker 1: the tone the first play of the game, Parson drops
Speaker 1: the running back for a two yard loss. He's lucky
Speaker 1: he didn't intercept the hand off, right, because they were
Speaker 1: gonna they were gonna whip that guy, uh Smith their
Speaker 1: other tackle. Right, Why Parsons was he was lined up
Speaker 1: over him all night? Oh yeah, absolutely, And and and
Speaker 1: you know if the guy wasn't holding him, he was
Speaker 1: rarely blocking him. Uh so, Yeah, and Dak made sure
Speaker 1: he mentioned the reason we got to do what we
Speaker 1: did because of what the defense and how they played,
Speaker 1: but how they skies their deficiency at corner. Now, you
Speaker 1: showed your hand, right, and so let's see what happens
Speaker 1: going forward. But at least Roads will be here an
Speaker 1: extra couple of days. What I want to ask you,
Speaker 1: I went, I went back through the entire first half.
Speaker 1: Haven't had a chance to go back through the entire
Speaker 1: second half, just to see the alignment on defense and
Speaker 1: so forth. And Rhodes did not play in the first
Speaker 1: half unless he got on the field for the Hail
Speaker 1: Mary's at the end of the half, which I couldn't
Speaker 1: tell on the TV copy whether he's on the field
Speaker 1: or not. For that, I didn't notice him out there
Speaker 1: till late in the fourth corner. Okay, that's what I thought. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so and so the curse injury, Okay, he had
Speaker 1: forty two snaps last night. Yeah, and when you look
Speaker 1: at Rhodes, he wound up with twenty four snaps in
Speaker 1: the game. Rhodes did. And so if curse heddon't got hurt, right,
Speaker 1: then Rhodes may not have played at all. Yeah, No, absolutely,
Speaker 1: And so in Curses case, I saw him afterwards. He
Speaker 1: had his knee, uh sort of taped up and it
Speaker 1: was wound through his calf, and I was told it
Speaker 1: was a sprained MCL, but they were somewhat hopeful then
Speaker 1: they would find out more today that he could be
Speaker 1: back in time. Man, because that that three safety combo.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're all starters. Curse and Hooker and
Speaker 1: Wilsons are so huge to this defense and what they
Speaker 1: can what dan Quinn can do as far as matchups
Speaker 1: and so forth, and as evidenced by this game right here,
Speaker 1: because basically their base is the nickel with those three safeties.
Speaker 1: That's right. Yeah, got kittle, Yeah, kitt kittle kittle yea
Speaker 1: dead young man. They got a handful. You're talking about
Speaker 1: missing at wrong deebo. Yeah. And then they've got a
Speaker 1: fullback who actually a lot of times acts like a
Speaker 1: tight end. Some Mamo ended up with four tackles and
Speaker 1: two passes defense. One came on a third down, as
Speaker 1: I remember, and the other one was almost a pick.
Speaker 1: So he played pretty darned well going up in the slot.
Speaker 1: But again, and I don't know how much they changed
Speaker 1: it because I didn't see Evans lineup much in this
Speaker 1: and oh, by the way, there was no giggling after
Speaker 1: this one him on the sideline because dig shut his
Speaker 1: butt down until the Cowboys backed off. I said, okay,
Speaker 1: you're not getting anything deep. You know, have whatever you
Speaker 1: want underneath and eat up the clock as you moved
Speaker 1: down the field. But he got shut down by Diggs. So, uh,
Speaker 1: you guy balled out last night? Who's that leaden at?
Speaker 1: Yes he did. Did that make a difference, Yes it did,
Speaker 1: and not only with his nine tackles, but he had
Speaker 1: had two two passes broken up and he almost had
Speaker 1: an inner uption two. It was ripe Brian url. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: just what just what he was. He anticipated very well
Speaker 1: last night, because you know, you can do athleticism all
Speaker 1: you want, but if you already there anticipating, you know,
Speaker 1: that's when you know you ball it. He sent the
Speaker 1: edge a couple of times. Well when the boss spilled out,
Speaker 1: he was a short yardage one and they tried bouncing
Speaker 1: it outside. And that's the one beat the guy. That's
Speaker 1: exactly what I'm talking about. Yeah, that's the one. So
Speaker 1: he played, he really played seven nine nine tackles, and
Speaker 1: Wilson had another game. Um boy, when he hits somebody,
Speaker 1: he hit a big guy. This is a big wife receiver.
Speaker 1: He's smacking the round. God when that was that was
Speaker 1: a good one. That was a good hit on the sideline.
Speaker 1: So yeah, the defense, you know, even though they scored
Speaker 1: what thirty one should have been thirty five and will
Speaker 1: get to that in a moment, uh, which would have
Speaker 1: hit my gas pump number. That's pretty good. Thirty five
Speaker 1: was my thirty five was my number? Forty five dollars
Speaker 1: and fourteen Yeah, you know it was thirty five. Thirty
Speaker 1: was my prediction, but it was eleven gallons, so it
Speaker 1: would have was. Actually thirty five to eleven was my prediction.
Speaker 1: Somebody else Mine is the closest. So somebody seen, sorry,
Speaker 1: somebody totally. The over under was forty one one forty
Speaker 1: five five and a half. Yeah, and it ended up
Speaker 1: forty five and it got there in a weird way, right. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You know, I gotta say again, if Evans catches that
Speaker 1: ball after the onside gig and the over wins for
Speaker 1: every game this week, because every other game would the
Speaker 1: over one. Oh really, yeah, I'm kind of nervous about
Speaker 1: our I guess prevent defense, I get flashbacks a little
Speaker 1: too much prevent Well, I don't think there's enough prevent
Speaker 1: because they're allowing them to get behind them. Yes, And
Speaker 1: I'm not sure because it reminds me of that that
Speaker 1: vent saw Britain, you know, nineteen You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You know I have flashbacks of that a lot nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty nine, Phoenix. You know, you send all fours, guys,
Speaker 1: They're sending all fours. The safety has to make a decision.
Speaker 1: Back then we would put our hands on the slot.
Speaker 1: They don't even touch the slot anymore, which makes it
Speaker 1: even harder for the safety. And sure enough those two passes,
Speaker 1: the two that could have been a third, it's either
Speaker 1: cover two or covered four. Because if it's a cover two,
Speaker 1: somebody needs to touch somebody right, they're coming off the
Speaker 1: line free, and if you go to the outside with
Speaker 1: the giants, we would just lock up. But where the
Speaker 1: corners were all backed off, I saw a covered two
Speaker 1: look twice they ran by him and he was lined
Speaker 1: up in they covered two umbrella look, and the safety
Speaker 1: is under the rest. So when he beats the corn
Speaker 1: on the outside, the safety he better get deeper. If not,
Speaker 1: you're gonna keep getting I was passing you up like
Speaker 1: that when Brady was hitting them in the end zone.
Speaker 1: Well you know that happened to them on CD's touchdown
Speaker 1: when he was like as open. He was the in.
Speaker 1: They had three to the left and he was the
Speaker 1: inside guy and those guys took off and he circled
Speaker 1: under and the safety that was in the slot, he
Speaker 1: froze edwards. He just froze. Yeah, yeah, it was he
Speaker 1: was like and he started going inside. But they both
Speaker 1: took the same guy. Was that I think the tight end,
Speaker 1: this deep safety took Sultz Schultz. Did you see Schultz
Speaker 1: did that? Was? I retweeted it all right? I tweeted
Speaker 1: the video of it. Um Schultz. You know, he runs
Speaker 1: the inside route and he you know, it was three
Speaker 1: on three basically there and when he saw that and
Speaker 1: it was Carlton Davis, I think it was a corner
Speaker 1: out there when he froze and didn't go at CD. Okay,
Speaker 1: it was like it was like two of them were
Speaker 1: playing as zone or a man and the other they
Speaker 1: were confused defensively, obviously, as soon as he saw those
Speaker 1: three dbs stay in that area. He knew where CD
Speaker 1: was going. He didn't even look. He's looking at the
Speaker 1: opposite sideline over there and he's raising his hands up. Touchdown.
Speaker 1: He knew. I mean it was hilarious. Yeah, before the
Speaker 1: ball is still in the air going to CD, he
Speaker 1: knew this is a touchdown. Did you know this the
Speaker 1: naked bootleg? Yes? And number thirty one. I'm sorry I
Speaker 1: cannot remember his name. All Pro defensive back for Tampa Winfield.
Speaker 1: Winfield feels back, he chases from the other side and
Speaker 1: and Schultz was waiting back and yeah if that yeah,
Speaker 1: if that, don't you dare you know? I mean, he
Speaker 1: was having a good time last night. Yes, I have
Speaker 1: a feeling it was because he probably got his butt
Speaker 1: whipped in the first game this year, but that was
Speaker 1: paid back for him. Just his whole attitude last night.
Speaker 1: And I've never seen him that animated. Never first Cowboy
Speaker 1: tight end in history to have two touchdown receptions in
Speaker 1: the playoff game. Wow? How about and think about the title. Wow.
Speaker 1: He did have seven catches for sixty two yards against
Speaker 1: the Bucks in the season and somebody said he didn't
Speaker 1: want to talk after the game. I'm not sure what
Speaker 1: that was. About, but I thought he had a heck
Speaker 1: of a game. I think all I was thinking Ron
Speaker 1: Blocking must have been suffering in that first game, because
Speaker 1: he just seemed I've never seen him that animated. It's
Speaker 1: like he had something to prove, and he released playoffs.
Speaker 1: It's playoffs. He had. His ninety five yards receiving were
Speaker 1: third most by Cowboys tight end in the playoffs. Novachek
Speaker 1: had one hundred and four in that wipe out of
Speaker 1: Green Bay in ninety five, and Witton had ninety eight
Speaker 1: at Minnesota in two thousand and nine, which was not
Speaker 1: a good game. Yes it wasn't. Yeah, empty empty calories.
Speaker 1: All right, we've gone five minutes over on our first segment.
Speaker 1: There's so much to talk about, and there's still more
Speaker 1: to get too when mix Shots continues at a moment.

Speaker 1: there is so so much to get to on this game. Um,
Speaker 1: there's a big elephant in the room. Okay, oh you
Speaker 1: want to go there. You don't want to go dak first.
Speaker 1: That will play very well. Okay, we've established that. Now
Speaker 1: you want to get to the elephant. That was exceptional. Exceptional,
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. Um. Many are saying that it was
Speaker 1: the best game of his career. At one point in
Speaker 1: the game. He had one more in completion than Brett
Speaker 1: Maher had missed. There you go again. He could connect
Speaker 1: something good to something just awful. And you know what
Speaker 1: I saw it coming? How was that coming before? He
Speaker 1: saw him warming up? Before he warmed up? When I
Speaker 1: went out there, when we got there, I usually walk
Speaker 1: out on the field, especially when it's a grass field,
Speaker 1: to see what the fields this guy. So you walk
Speaker 1: your checking the field for the kickers and the players.
Speaker 1: Do you report back to McCarthy, No, because Bucky was
Speaker 1: out there. Do you have do you have different clats
Speaker 1: that you wear when you test it out in before
Speaker 1: the game? I wear tennis shoes now after I ruined
Speaker 1: a pair of shoes thirty years ago at that chap
Speaker 1: Beach of game in San Francisco, thirty years ago today.
Speaker 1: That's right. So anyway, I go out there and I'm
Speaker 1: looking at the field, and the grass outside the numbers
Speaker 1: was very sparse, right, like, there wasn't a lot of
Speaker 1: grass right. Then when you got inside the numbers it
Speaker 1: looked like they resided some of it. And then when
Speaker 1: you got inside the hashes it was even better side right,
Speaker 1: but the side didn't go a hundred yards it was sporadic,
Speaker 1: like in the middle of the middle of the middle
Speaker 1: of the field, like it would go ten yards. And
Speaker 1: then it got to looking like the outside stuff. I mean,
Speaker 1: it could just be from warming up right now. No,
Speaker 1: there was nobody warmed up, and and so I'm looking
Speaker 1: at this. I go this fields weird and um we
Speaker 1: were looking at it and we were standing in the
Speaker 1: middle and the field was like wavy. It's like, this
Speaker 1: is Tampa. You should have good grass, right, what's the deal?
Speaker 1: A lot of games. Well, one of the first guys
Speaker 1: that came out was Brett Mah yeah. And I saw
Speaker 1: him walk in the field and he's looking at the
Speaker 1: different lengths of grass, right, and he's tapping his foot
Speaker 1: down like let me see how this is. And look,
Speaker 1: and I'm going, oh my god, he's worried about the field,
Speaker 1: just like that to myself, right, And then I felt
Speaker 1: like kicking off a mattress. And then I saw him
Speaker 1: miss a couple in warmups, which was weird. And while
Speaker 1: he made one from sixty, he tried one from like
Speaker 1: forty nine or fifty and it just scattered. And I
Speaker 1: was like, and then somebody else told me, he goes
Speaker 1: I had a very good warm up, and so I
Speaker 1: was like, we'll see. Then when he missed the first
Speaker 1: extra one, it was like, oh, oh, this is gonna
Speaker 1: be in it. Well, that that was the moment. It
Speaker 1: wasn't just about that. It was like, Okay, this is
Speaker 1: the kind of unfortunate things that happened, right, and to
Speaker 1: allow Brady to stay in the game, because you're sitting there,
Speaker 1: okay six, zh they score, you're down seven six, right,
Speaker 1: And it was he finished the Washington game with a
Speaker 1: missed extra points, right. So that was two in a row,
Speaker 1: and it was three in a row. And I tried
Speaker 1: to see that the ball spun late but really didn't.
Speaker 1: And then when he just really hit that the one
Speaker 1: way overcompensated, you could see that was bad. Now. Krisky
Speaker 1: Scales told me that when they start the game, each
Speaker 1: team has three kicking balls. Well, they lost a couple
Speaker 1: of his because they shanked into the stands and they
Speaker 1: were going to have to go to the other team
Speaker 1: to get a kicking ball. Shanked him into the stands.
Speaker 1: It missed it. No the game. When he missed the
Speaker 1: extra points, he they locked it was a souvenir ball.
Speaker 1: It missed the nut it's because it's the field in
Speaker 1: that condition because of too much football being played on it.
Speaker 1: I was just looking, you know. They played the guest
Speaker 1: Perilla Bowl there on December twenty third, and the Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay Bowl on January second was played there in addition
Speaker 1: to the Bucks games, and then South Florida plays their
Speaker 1: home games there. I wonder if they play high school
Speaker 1: games there. Christie said that they resided the middle of
Speaker 1: the field between the hashes, and there were some um
Speaker 1: scenes okay, and and they broadcast and they didn't do
Speaker 1: it for a hundred yards. It ended ten yards and
Speaker 1: then picked up and it was like, what are they doing? Well,
Speaker 1: they knew before the game. It was all the field
Speaker 1: grow where the extra point may be anyway, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean the extra points are in one spot all the time. Yes,
Speaker 1: so you might as well get it. Get this ode
Speaker 1: good there? Yeah. I don't know if that their kicker,
Speaker 1: did he have a chance. No, because they went for
Speaker 1: they went for two at right time, so he probably
Speaker 1: would have missed his two if they had, So I
Speaker 1: don't know if that got in his head, because I
Speaker 1: don't I don't know that it affected it, but maybe
Speaker 1: he was just got in his head right, and then
Speaker 1: after you missed two, which is three in a row,
Speaker 1: then it really gets in here. That's the first time
Speaker 1: this ever happened in NFL history. Yes, I know. I
Speaker 1: mean you think of all the bad kickers that have
Speaker 1: been in the NFL, and this guy was the first
Speaker 1: one to miss. This is the guy that set the
Speaker 1: franchise record for most points scored in a single season
Speaker 1: by a kicker. Do you have to kick the extra
Speaker 1: point from the line of scrimmage the fifteen yard line?
Speaker 1: Can you back it's nine out of eleven, he's nine
Speaker 1: out of eleven on fifty yards or plus? Can you
Speaker 1: back it up to the thirty five and kick it
Speaker 1: from the holder? The holder could go like, they could
Speaker 1: line up further back here and the holder and he
Speaker 1: could be a long snap right as opposed. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: that's about the past. You go, you grab it, you
Speaker 1: run back, and then you set it. Now you set
Speaker 1: up back here, I'll bring the ball to you. You
Speaker 1: got you gotta get a to just snap it all
Speaker 1: the way back out really five yards, so now it's
Speaker 1: a good thing he least made the last que Yeah. Um,
Speaker 1: it looked good too. It looked comfortable. Well, if it's
Speaker 1: a field, then there's no problem. Well, I don't know
Speaker 1: if it was the field or it was in his head.
Speaker 1: I mean, if it was in his head that it
Speaker 1: was the field one at Washington it was another grass field.
Speaker 1: So we're talking about natural grass in regards to the defense.
Speaker 1: We should have been talking about natural grass and regards
Speaker 1: because it sure didn't slow down. The defense didn't or
Speaker 1: the offense. You know, the way that game was played
Speaker 1: last night, it almost came out to be perfect because
Speaker 1: the cards were dealt out just so evenly. When we
Speaker 1: needed the defense to come through, they did. And then
Speaker 1: from there, from then on, the offense clicks so well.
Speaker 1: They gave the defense plenty of time to rest. Those
Speaker 1: drives were extremely time consuming. And as much as Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay's defense just got softer and softer, the Cowboys defense
Speaker 1: was over there, resting over and over again. Because I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, uh, Michael Poston's does not have an off switch.
Speaker 1: It's hard for me to tell him how to play.
Speaker 1: But he is exhausted, you know, even after again, even
Speaker 1: when he walks back to his side of the huddle,
Speaker 1: right he walked, braided right through. The guy wouldnt let
Speaker 1: him through. You hedn't like that. So their longest their
Speaker 1: longest possession, I want to say was ninety ninety five yards.
Speaker 1: Let me see if I can find that. You mean
Speaker 1: our offense. No, the Tampa Bay, well, you were saying
Speaker 1: they were getting off the field, but they had a
Speaker 1: ninety five yard u and that was their touchdown. They
Speaker 1: went ninety five for that first touchdown. The other one
Speaker 1: that was seventy ended up the inner set option by
Speaker 1: Curse in the in the end zone. So the majority
Speaker 1: of their yards and they had like three eighty something
Speaker 1: came on their last M one two, three four drives
Speaker 1: when the Cowboys backed off. Of course, when after Curse
Speaker 1: was out of the game too. Yeah, Curse got hurt
Speaker 1: three h They took over three h nine to go
Speaker 1: in the third quarter. Got hurt on the first play
Speaker 1: of that ninety five yard drive. Yeah, it's when he
Speaker 1: got hurt. And then their next possession they started their
Speaker 1: own sixteen and drove all the way down to the
Speaker 1: eleven seven seventy three yards, and and then their next
Speaker 1: possession obviously at which the touchdown drive was fifty two
Speaker 1: yards eleven play, so one wasn't possession. Webb McCarthy's like, now, mate, kicker,
Speaker 1: you go have a seat. When he went for that
Speaker 1: was on the CD touchdown. Yeah, we're gonna take care
Speaker 1: of this. Yeah, And it was obvious Pollard went for
Speaker 1: five or six it was what whatever it was to
Speaker 1: nine or whatever, and he cut the distance in half.
Speaker 1: And but it was obvious they're they're not kicking a
Speaker 1: field goal here. I don't care. Yeah, yeah, we're all
Speaker 1: we want to we don't want to hurt your feelings,
Speaker 1: but we really don't care what this. You saw what
Speaker 1: Dak mouthed on the sideline after right, like we're gonna
Speaker 1: go for Why aren't we going from dog too? And
Speaker 1: then that somebody asked him about it and he goes, well,
Speaker 1: he goes, that was the emotion I really thought they
Speaker 1: were going to go for. He said, that was the
Speaker 1: emotion of the time, you know, in the game. He goes,
Speaker 1: but he basically went up to him, he said, and
Speaker 1: I told him, hey, we all have bad days. We
Speaker 1: need but yeah, but and you know, what are you
Speaker 1: gonna do? Somebody on talk Rado this morning was like,
Speaker 1: well they got to bring in another time. You know,
Speaker 1: everybody's saying that, were you gonna so you're gonna find
Speaker 1: the question. They asked you the question, right. He had
Speaker 1: to adjust it after the game. I even heard someone
Speaker 1: on the radio say, okay, you signed have another kicker,
Speaker 1: and then you have two kickers active. On game day,
Speaker 1: people are calling me saying do they have do they
Speaker 1: have a backup kicker? No, shut up, what are you
Speaker 1: talking about? Kick? And they said, yeah, we were listening
Speaker 1: to the same thing. Well, we'll put him on the
Speaker 1: practice squad. And it's like, okay, but if he has
Speaker 1: a bad start to the game, if not, at this
Speaker 1: person said no, they wanted to put him on the Yes. Yes,
Speaker 1: the only way you can do that is if you
Speaker 1: sign Jeff Heath. Yeah, and then Jeff Heath can play
Speaker 1: special teams and he can kick a field goal in
Speaker 1: San Francisco. That's what he did. Remember think about this
Speaker 1: this late in the season. If you don't have a job,
Speaker 1: do you think you're still working out in case somebody
Speaker 1: calls you. Probably not. No, you're on the beach somewhere.
Speaker 1: So yeah, they just got to hope he straightens it out.
Speaker 1: He'd better literally literally straightens it out, because him all
Speaker 1: year to have his goal every point, well every point,
Speaker 1: he cannot do this next week, think about thirty five
Speaker 1: fourteen instead of thirty one fourteen. They would have had
Speaker 1: the largest margin of victory. They had the second largest
Speaker 1: margin of victory over the weekend. San Francisco had an
Speaker 1: eighteen point margin. Cowboys said dad to come from behind
Speaker 1: the BC Yes, and everybody else was nip and tucked
Speaker 1: the whole way. Good gangs, I love it, all right,
Speaker 1: it was a great weekend. All right, to talk about

Speaker 1: there's one possession in the game that I want to
Speaker 1: talk about, and it was Kelly Moore's play calling and
Speaker 1: it was early second quarter. It was after the curse interception.
Speaker 1: It was part of an eighty yard fourteen play drive
Speaker 1: they gave Dallas a twelve nothing lead. There were one, two,
Speaker 1: three third down conversions on that drive and then that
Speaker 1: ended with the Dak fourth down conversion for the on
Speaker 1: the bootleg for the touchdown. All right, first facing third
Speaker 1: and one at the twenty nine yard line. They were
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage it looks like they may
Speaker 1: be running quarterback sneak here, and you could hear Dak's
Speaker 1: a kill kill kill, And they went wide with Zeke
Speaker 1: and got three yard first down. Move the chains, okay,
Speaker 1: but the second one, in particular, third and three, Pollard
Speaker 1: is flanked out wide left with Schultz and they ran
Speaker 1: a route where basically Pollard was on schultz coattails there,
Speaker 1: and they threw to Pollard and converted for a five
Speaker 1: yard pick twice bill, but they did the next time
Speaker 1: with a wide receiver, okay, all right, So that was
Speaker 1: another terrific third and three conversion, okay, which brings us
Speaker 1: to forty six yard line. Third and eight. There was
Speaker 1: no running back on the field for the Cowboys. They
Speaker 1: lined up Schultz in the backfield and they had Gallop left,
Speaker 1: and they had three receivers to the right, CD inside
Speaker 1: Ty and Noah was outside on the bunch three receivers
Speaker 1: on the right side. Schultz flares out of the backfield
Speaker 1: and Lavante David, the linebacker, vacated the middle of the
Speaker 1: field to go cover Schultz, and it left the middle
Speaker 1: of the field wide open for t Y Hilton on
Speaker 1: a crossing route for fourteen yards. In a first down.
Speaker 1: And by the way, I'll stop you right there because
Speaker 1: I said something to one of the coaches about did
Speaker 1: they really think David could cover Scholtz one on one
Speaker 1: when he's outside and he goes that's the way they
Speaker 1: play it. They've been playing it like that. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: those are extremely athletic linebacker. I know, very good lineback.
Speaker 1: Wasn't athletic. It's just not a yeah, it doesn't work out,
Speaker 1: especially once again, guys, and I said it last year.
Speaker 1: Our offensive line after the first two drives gave that
Speaker 1: all the time he needed, which is another thing we
Speaker 1: need to do. But they were amazing. But back on
Speaker 1: the third downs, you know, you got your third down
Speaker 1: key play sheet, Okay, And that stuff that they back
Speaker 1: in the back in the coach's office is last week.
Speaker 1: That's what they saw what Tampa Bay, as you said,
Speaker 1: how they cover that situation, and they knew it was
Speaker 1: going to be there for him, you know, if they
Speaker 1: had time with the offensive line. So taking away offensive line, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm just all I'm saying is we knew the offensive line.
Speaker 1: I always thought that the offensive line was going to
Speaker 1: help them overcome no matter how many points. Right to
Speaker 1: Tampa with a score. That's the way I felt going
Speaker 1: to the game. And that's where I felt, except for
Speaker 1: the Washington game, that this team was going to win
Speaker 1: in the playoffs through right behind the offensive line. Well,
Speaker 1: in an interview, yes, throughout the week last week, and
Speaker 1: he had a hat on and he said something like,
Speaker 1: it was Avante Collins. What's that he had the hat on?
Speaker 1: You said? Somebody had no no, he someone was interviewing him.
Speaker 1: A young lady was, yeah, Dak, well it was Avontae
Speaker 1: Collins hat. Well, what did they say? The line stand
Speaker 1: behind our offensive line? That's right, and that's that is
Speaker 1: pointed it out. Nice press conference, nice, nice and so
Speaker 1: and now think about it. What they did was be honest.
Speaker 1: He gets back. Zack Martin gave him credit for doing
Speaker 1: his rehab to get back in time for this game.
Speaker 1: So he's at center and they decided, well, let's leave
Speaker 1: the left side of the line as is. We're gonna
Speaker 1: leave Tyler Smith at left guard and Jason Peters at
Speaker 1: left tackle, and we're gonna use Connor McGovern as the fullback.
Speaker 1: The Mac attack right. And so they started off that
Speaker 1: way and then Peters gets hurt. It's a hip injury.
Speaker 1: I can't remember if we talked about it. I think
Speaker 1: he's probably done, okay, really yeah, when he left as
Speaker 1: a forty year old, when he left with a hip injury,
Speaker 1: I figured he's probably and he may be done for
Speaker 1: I mean the injuries probably not career ending. They'll do
Speaker 1: whatever they gotta do. But at forty are you going
Speaker 1: to come back? So anyway, so then you're sure he's
Speaker 1: going to come back this year. Yeah, And then they decide, well,
Speaker 1: let's go back to what we've been doing. Connor McGovern
Speaker 1: go from fullback to So think about McGovern. He had
Speaker 1: been left guard, center, fullback, left guard. Then he lined
Speaker 1: up at tight end on at least one play that
Speaker 1: game when he was the third guy, and so they
Speaker 1: went back to the two guys the inverted wishbone and
Speaker 1: Troy Troy said this. Troy said that Tyler Smith should
Speaker 1: win some sort of Rookie of the Year award. To
Speaker 1: think that he started in training camp at left guard
Speaker 1: for rookie. They had to move him out to left tackle,
Speaker 1: then they moved him back to left guard, and then
Speaker 1: in the game he goes back to left tackle and
Speaker 1: plays almost flawlessly right. So this offensive line had a
Speaker 1: lot to do with the Cowboys running the ball enough enough, right,
Speaker 1: It wasn't great, but it was enough. This is what
Speaker 1: I wanted to point out. And they protected Dak. He
Speaker 1: had time in the pocket. There were there wasn't. It
Speaker 1: wasn't about numbers in regards to the rushing yards, right,
Speaker 1: it was about once again we talked about all the
Speaker 1: time moments I saw where God that that defensive line
Speaker 1: for Tampa was really coming hard. First part of the game,
Speaker 1: I believe it was the third d the third UH
Speaker 1: drive and when you talked about the eighty yarder. At
Speaker 1: one point Polo ran on either first or second down.
Speaker 1: It wasn't it didn't end up moving the chains, but
Speaker 1: he was. He finally is almost like he ran fed
Speaker 1: up because they had been getting mostly negative yards before
Speaker 1: that and this particular play he ran through there, it's
Speaker 1: almost like you're I'm going to split this no matter what.
Speaker 1: And from then on, that's when Polo started to gain
Speaker 1: his confidence and he knew what was the weakness and
Speaker 1: the softness of that defensive line. He started to exploit
Speaker 1: it more and more after that run. That was a
Speaker 1: realization for him, and that offensive was like the eighteen
Speaker 1: yard run. I know it was only like a five
Speaker 1: or six yarder, it was it was the he finally
Speaker 1: broke through. You know, Tom LANDI always said it, when
Speaker 1: you have a line like Chicago with the forty six defense,
Speaker 1: it's difficult to break through, but once you do, you
Speaker 1: got something. Well, that's when he realized that he had
Speaker 1: a really good run. When they were first in goal
Speaker 1: at the six. Remember he pitched it to him and
Speaker 1: Dak followed him and like he was gonna try to
Speaker 1: do some block. I think said, yeah, that looked like
Speaker 1: and it was a Schultz hole. But on the next play,
Speaker 1: Paula went for eight. He got him back down to
Speaker 1: the six, right, uh, and then Dak ran the option right. Uh,
Speaker 1: but yeah, you're exactly right. But yeah, that offensive line
Speaker 1: I just thought that stubborn. They were stubborn yesterday. I
Speaker 1: loved it. They were stubborn. We're gonna, we're gonna, you're gonna,
Speaker 1: you're gonna. It's gonna be minimum. But he's gonna be
Speaker 1: a what do he gets sacked? I think he got
Speaker 1: sacked twice, is that right? Once and it was Vita
Speaker 1: Vea early in the game where he just he just
Speaker 1: wided us like he just just pushed everybody to the
Speaker 1: side with But here's what happened. They got tired. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they got tired. Well, that's why they kept going outside.
Speaker 1: They wanted those defensive linemen to get and the pocket
Speaker 1: was always moving. I love it when we called it
Speaker 1: like that. The pocket is always moving. I don't want
Speaker 1: my quarterback in that pocket too much. You're just a
Speaker 1: big target there consistently. You know, I would rather us
Speaker 1: be very diversed on how we set it up. Okay,
Speaker 1: as we close this out, let's talk injury issues just
Speaker 1: a little bit here. And you mentioned Peters right now. Peters,
Speaker 1: even though he Edmond used that much. When you look
Speaker 1: at the depth situation at tackle, that is a potentially
Speaker 1: a big loss for this team because now you're one
Speaker 1: injury away from a real problem at tackle, right and
Speaker 1: the next guy up would be Ball, Josh balla Abion
Speaker 1: Collins would be next, and then they they elevated him
Speaker 1: him right off the practice squad, right, But I think
Speaker 1: I don't know if they did that for you gotta
Speaker 1: keep you gotta keep the Smiths healthy. Yeah, you gotta
Speaker 1: keep Tyler and Tying healthy at the tackle position. With
Speaker 1: Peter's going down and then the other one is curse right, yeah,
Speaker 1: finished the game fine, Oh yeah, he was fine, but
Speaker 1: he and I thought he played well. I mean after that,
Speaker 1: they all played well. And they got confused who was
Speaker 1: gonna double him because they doubled to the left and
Speaker 1: he came back to the right and Zach was helping
Speaker 1: the other way. So I don't know if they had
Speaker 1: a bad line. They gave him. They gave you their
Speaker 1: quarterback a lane to throw to throw through those slants
Speaker 1: every QUI one those quick when whoever they like the
Speaker 1: one that Bill mentioned threw one. He threw one beside
Speaker 1: the tackle didn't even go past his shoulder. He just
Speaker 1: cut through it through that because he had lanes were
Speaker 1: wide open all the time, right the defense. That's one
Speaker 1: of the best games that offensive mind has played as
Speaker 1: far as pass blocking his concerned. And before we leave,
Speaker 1: let's credit that last touchdown. I think it was the
Speaker 1: last one, right to Gallop when they know CD. That
Speaker 1: was CD was the last one. Yeah, the one way
Speaker 1: his wide open. Well, the one Gallop got. They they
Speaker 1: reviewed the back of the end zone where he barely
Speaker 1: stepped on the line, and then the guy they ruled
Speaker 1: the guy touched the ball, so he was eligible to
Speaker 1: come back in right, but his concentration the still after
Speaker 1: the ball got slightly tipped to still catch that. I
Speaker 1: have a problem with that play. Uh huh. You when
Speaker 1: you have the shoulder on the defensive bat, he's got
Speaker 1: to cut it inside. He waited for the ball to
Speaker 1: come to him down the back of the end zone.
Speaker 1: He's got to cut off the dB because the DV
Speaker 1: go to one hand. He could lucky intercepts and something
Speaker 1: like not keep running parallel. Yeah, no, you yes, you
Speaker 1: gotta bend it in and and the dB is cut off.
Speaker 1: Then that's Drew Pearson. All good dB a good wide
Speaker 1: receivers do it. You have to cut off the dB.
Speaker 1: Because of the way Dad floated it, he would have
Speaker 1: cut right into it. You see me. He gave the
Speaker 1: dB room and a moment he kept going going straight.
Speaker 1: You gotta curb that off and cut Once you get
Speaker 1: the shoulder on the dB, you gotta cut that off,
Speaker 1: and that way the dB is blocked off and you
Speaker 1: have but even an easier catch. And the only thing
Speaker 1: he can do is interfering. That's it. That's it. That's
Speaker 1: a good thing. Kind of maybe maybe nervous. There was
Speaker 1: no unnecessarily coat close. Okay, it's a quick wait. Now
Speaker 1: I got to get ready tomorrow. That's the other thing. Now,
Speaker 1: this this mindset cannot enter that locker room over there.
Speaker 1: But it is crazy that they've got this schedule where
Speaker 1: you play a Monday night game. Uh, any team plays
Speaker 1: a short week in the playoffs, it should not happen.
Speaker 1: And I know that's I know it's crazy. In the playoffs,
Speaker 1: play play play Monday night next week. Then if it
Speaker 1: don't late, it was late. I had my uh, sound
Speaker 1: cancelers in, noise cancelers in. I didn't see a lot
Speaker 1: of movement in that plane behind me in there where
Speaker 1: the players are, so I think, and a lot of
Speaker 1: them started making mentioned in the postgame press conference San Francisco.
Speaker 1: So I think they had put that behind it, And
Speaker 1: I bet that was the word after the game, right,
Speaker 1: just put this game behind Yeah, we got it, no
Speaker 1: doubt about it. There's no doubt. CD said it. You
Speaker 1: got Zack Mark. I saw CD's interview after the game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's perfect. He didn't say too much, but he said
Speaker 1: justin Yeah. I think I think what they should do
Speaker 1: is because I think it's a competitive imbalance to have
Speaker 1: a team in the playoffs play on short rest. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it played three games on Saturday and play in three
Speaker 1: games on Sunday. Give ESPN the Saturday night game. NBC's
Speaker 1: got the Sunday night game and do it that way.
Speaker 1: I mean, think about had they had if they had
Speaker 1: to go to Philadelphia on a short week while them
Speaker 1: joke well, I mean look at San Francisco. San Francisco
Speaker 1: sitting for two days. San Francisco got an extra day
Speaker 1: to rest. They get eight days and Cowboys get six. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not right. So but again that mindset cannot enter
Speaker 1: that locker room. You got to say, whatever happens, happens you.
Speaker 1: We just deal with it the price you pay for
Speaker 1: being the Dallas Cowboys because they know everybody wants to
Speaker 1: watch them in there. And I mentioned it in my column.
Speaker 1: Now from now on, we don't need to see that
Speaker 1: crawler going across on all their shows. That DAK press
Speaker 1: pressures on DAK Prescott McCarthy on the HUD this I
Speaker 1: thought I was in the twilight zone or something. Everything
Speaker 1: they brought up was just like they're creating an omen
Speaker 1: or something like what the heck is it was all
Speaker 1: and we haven't mentioned it. It was all the ghosts
Speaker 1: of the past. And I'm can't my son can't win
Speaker 1: a playoff game on the run. Don't we have like
Speaker 1: thirty thirty points a game? I mean I was talking,
Speaker 1: you know, don't we have like didn't he come back
Speaker 1: and have like eighteen straight passes completed after interceptions? Give
Speaker 1: me a break, man, I'm like, wow, this is this
Speaker 1: is set up. Nine game stretch after nine game stretch,
Speaker 1: after Dak came back from his injury, this team averaged
Speaker 1: thirty six points a game not mentioned oh anywhere. It
Speaker 1: was the interstit and to tell the look some stuff
Speaker 1: for comfort me leave. Man, it's so crazy that we
Speaker 1: haven't seen any crawlers today. So we'll see. Hopefully the
Speaker 1: last hour has comforted you after set a record with
Speaker 1: eleven straight complete All right, So so starting tomorrow, Yes,
Speaker 1: it's Niners week. It's Niners And wow, what a history
Speaker 1: playoff history this rivalry has. And we'll talk about it
Speaker 1: the rest of the week. Right here. Oh, I'm sorry
Speaker 1: ever since to good stuff. Yeah, good stuff, good stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm part of that history. I love it. Good stuff.
Speaker 1: That's forty You can even go back to how we
Speaker 1: got no wait wait wait, and with thirty years ago
Speaker 1: today how about them Cowboys? How about them Cowboys? Go Cowboys.
Speaker 1: This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
