Ye. Ever, 20 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: so I'm gonna start with rob and Mickey because they 21 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 1: went on the road trip. Robson see actually was outside. 22 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: The keyword there is you are on the road trip, 23 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: right yeah? Yeah, who needs a tunnel, you know when 24 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: you could be out doing pregame show and that that 25 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: was fun? No, it was good. It was It was 26 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: a good environment. Um. I wish these two teams could 27 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: have played in a dome and we could actually seen 28 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: what both teams can do. I think that the elements 29 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: were for both teams. Um that rain and win was nasty, 30 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:09,359 Speaker 1: particularly first half early in the game. UM. Story of 31 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: the game, special teams. I know we're gonna get into it. 32 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: It's the field position game. That's why the Patriots are 33 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 1: ten and one and the Cowboys were. They were awful 34 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: in that regard yesterday and you look at the final stats. 35 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: To me, the biggest one starting field position for New 36 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: England their own forty one yard line. Cowboys ever since 37 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: talked about this all last week, their own twenty one 38 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: yard line having to drive long fields against the top 39 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: ranked defense in the league and they couldn't make enough play. 40 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 1: This game is gonna play out totally different when they 41 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: meet again on the Groundhog Day. You know, guy, local guys. 42 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I covered a game in weather that 43 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: was so miserable for four full quarters. It never let up. 44 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: It sucked, it was It was bad for in the 45 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: press box. And so we can see the rain coming 46 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 1: down in the lights and it was blowing across in sheets. 47 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 1: It looked like the wind got worse than this. Yeah, 48 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: it was a guy like Parker on They happened to 49 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: just you know, pan the crowd and one guy's park 50 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: It was like a flag. It was just right. It 51 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: was just blowing. Yeah, And I was like, wow, this 52 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: is real. It does not look like that on the field. 53 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: On the field, it looked nasty, but you did. You 54 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: couldn't appreciate the wind changes his gear at halftime. You know, 55 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 1: it's getting When I when I woke up and I 56 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 1: opened up the window of the hotel, so I'm eight 57 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: floors up and there was a parking garage across the 58 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: street that was just a little bit lower, and it's raining, 59 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: and I can see the water on the ground blowing right, 60 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: and I go, Okay, that winds serious that it's blowing 61 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: it off. So the rain is coming up like like 62 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: Forrest Gump. Yeah, it was. I mean it was I 63 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: had to go do my pre so Rod was down 64 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: there doing his pregame show right filming sideline. I had 65 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: to go do my radio pregame segment. But to get 66 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: to where the radio booth was, I had to go 67 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: out on the first level of the field of the stands. 68 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: And it was like I was headed out without a 69 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 1: jacket and the guy goes, you know that's outside. I said, oh, 70 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: I'll go get in my jacket. And to get there, 71 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: you had to walk undercover. You weren't undercover for part 72 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: of it. And it was like, oh, this is brutal, 73 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: absolutely brutal. And it was. And I noticed that the 74 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: people in the lower section stood the whole game. So 75 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: I'm thinking maybe when it's raining, if you're sitting, you 76 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: get and maybe their seats were wet. Yeah, you bring 77 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: a towel, Bill. I was probably flooded down there by 78 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 1: their feet. I saw a guy with some some of 79 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: the boots on and you know he's sitting down there, 80 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: but it's cover. It's up to his ankle. The water 81 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: was up to his ankle. Sou And as for the game, 82 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: um I had I had pointed out before that. For 83 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: the Cowboys to go there in that atmosphere, playing that 84 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,239 Speaker 1: dean team, that defense that they basically had to be clean, 85 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: almost had to be perfect, couldn't have turnovers, and they 86 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: had two turnovers that led directly to ten of their 87 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: thirteen points. Can have it if you're gonna win and 88 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: beat that team at their place, And that, to me 89 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: was the entire difference in the game. That was, no 90 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: doubt bad. Did you see the interception, Yes, that was 91 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: an amazing interception. It was they didn't I don't know 92 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: if they talked about it much. I don't know Troy 93 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: said much about it on the telecast. But he intercepted 94 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: with his near hand. He didn't intercept with his back. 95 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: I think he intercepted with his near hand, like the 96 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: one that he was swiping with. That's the one that 97 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: caught the ball. I don't know if you saw that. 98 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: And it was almost like this freaky thing to where 99 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: as he was trying to knock it down, watching it 100 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 1: right here. That as he tried to knock it down, 101 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: I think Coop almost trial trying to help. I think 102 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: he almost pushed it. It allowed it to stay in 103 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: this hand, the swipe hand which is extremely unusual. And 104 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: if you think about how wet everything was and for 105 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: him to hold on to that man, and you know, 106 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: and the other thing is, so that play started off 107 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 1: with a high snap and Dak went up and batted 108 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: it with one hand, got it down. So now the 109 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: timing's off and he starts the roll to his right. 110 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: But he's rolling to his right and he throws side arm. Now, 111 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: if any of you ever throw sidearm, you know, when 112 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: you're follow through goes, the ball goes left, it doesn't 113 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,919 Speaker 1: go right where you needed to lead him, and it 114 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 1: kind of threw it a little bit behind Cooper, which 115 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: allowed him to make that diving interception. Bad decision on 116 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: Dak's proud. I don't know, but I know when you're 117 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: throwing side arm. That was the only way I can 118 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: throw strikes basically in baseball. So there was no doubt 119 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: it was a bad decision. Yeah, but yeah, he was. 120 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: He's terrific, isn't he? Gilmore. I mean, that's the guy 121 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: that they put so much confidence in him. And to 122 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: have a guy that you can basically shout, I mean 123 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: I think he basically shadowed Murray the whole game. I mean, 124 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: did I see a Cooper that was a little bit intimidated. Well, 125 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if he was intimidated. All I know 126 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: is that he played only fifty two of the sixty 127 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: four plays, so he was coming here on series. Said 128 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: he and Whitton were both out on the one series 129 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: where they were running the ball primarily, and they really 130 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: didn't need him then. But I mean even when he 131 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: was out there participating, it was one time he ran 132 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: the route and looks like uh Dak was looking at 133 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: him like okay, get open, and he's over there as 134 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: if he's a decoy. Well, he had two catches that 135 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: were nullified by penalties, and then he had an almost 136 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: catch that was overturned. So I mean, no one had 137 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: You know, the only guy that had a big day 138 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: receiving was Edelman. I mean he was he was fantastic, 139 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: as we expected. But having said all all this stuff, 140 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: ten points on those two plays the block field. The 141 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: block punt leads to an easy touchdown from twelve yards out, 142 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: and that's one of the reason why their starting position 143 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: was at the forty one. When you get one at 144 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: the plus twelve, that certainly helps out the average that 145 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: leads to the punt leads to a touchdown, and then 146 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: the interception leads to a field goal. You got beat 147 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: thirteen nine, and you basically handed them ten points. And 148 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: then you look at the as we do every Monday morning, 149 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: as Monday Morning quarterbacks, you look at quarterback cornerbacks. In 150 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: this case, you so much be Jack. We're talking about 151 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: tripping calls that came out of nowhere. I was. I 152 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: was working with the group last night. I had him 153 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: look up how many I said, how many tripping calls 154 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: have been called this year? Not just on the Cowboys, 155 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: but this year. And if I could trust this guy's information, 156 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: he looked up on the computer, if he typed it 157 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,839 Speaker 1: in correctly, he said, five tripping calls have been called 158 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: all year long. This makes seven in the NFL, yeah, 159 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: the fire League, the entire league. And then we get two. 160 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: So I mean that that's got to be an algorithm 161 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: there that could just show you how And that's just 162 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: the first base first time since twenty fifteen that two 163 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: have been called in the same game. You played sixteen 164 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: games a week or close to sixteen weeks. Yeah, so 165 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: you played like one hundred and sixty games in the 166 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,559 Speaker 1: league right in in five tripping calls and you get 167 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: two in one game basically by the same guy. Yeah, 168 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,439 Speaker 1: and invented them phantom. I mean, they didn't happen. There 169 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: was nothing that even resembled tripping and one of them 170 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 1: and it was, and it was, and they were significant 171 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: plays in the game. Yes, I mean not to mention 172 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: the last drop first year was significant, but it's overshadowed 173 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: by the severe significance of the of the ladder. Yeah, 174 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: you're moving. And it's just the fact that an official 175 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: can make a call like that and not have better 176 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: court awareness of the significance of that foul in this game. 177 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: I mean, you have to absolutely know that that was 178 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: a penalty that affected that place, you know, I mean, 179 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: that's the way they should look at him. You can't 180 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: believe you could call something about the offensive line every 181 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: play of the game if you wanted to. You can 182 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: call a hold, you could, you know. So, Yeah, especially 183 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: blatant that was character said after the game. There's a 184 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: lot of stuff moving around in there, and it's like 185 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: and I and he wouldn't. He was being so politically corrected. 186 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 1: He didn't want to get fine. Well yeah, well, because 187 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: first of all, they don't want to seem like whiners. Yeah, 188 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 1: because at this point in the season, the team is 189 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: looking like, yeah, they just if once they get that 190 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 1: first wine out, then everybody's gonna come crashing down on them. 191 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 1: So now you've got these you know, cookie cuts, their 192 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: responses to everything. Now no one wants to show you 193 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: really just how pissed off they are about the situation. 194 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: Remarkable restraint remarkable because then I finally said, I said, okay, 195 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: let's try this. Define a tripping penalty to me, and 196 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: he goes, well, I guess it is when you stick 197 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 1: stick your leg out and like purposely tripped, deliberately and deliberate. 198 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: That's what they say, and it doesn't. But it doesn't 199 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: have to be your foot going out, And you can 200 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: trip someone by by sticking your knee out to you. 201 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: And that's what the referee must have seen because both moves, 202 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: both calls came on inside moves by the lineman. So 203 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: you're looking as as alignment offensive lineman. You're coming out 204 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 1: and you're fanning out to the right. He comes inside, 205 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: you go directly into your knee. He came directly into 206 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,559 Speaker 1: his knee. So now as a player, all you want 207 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 1: to do is stand strong. Now, you're not sticking the 208 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,559 Speaker 1: knee out, but you are planting your foot in the 209 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: ground to where you don't want to give him free 210 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: wing through your right side. So he just that's just 211 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 1: the plant in the ground. He was just stepping. He's 212 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: just stepping down to the face. When the force of 213 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: the defender goes into your upper body, you naturally are 214 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: going to fall back with your upper body and your 215 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: leg is gonna go out to go out and get you. 216 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: And Tyring didn't. If he was trying to trip the guy, 217 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: he did a damn belt the worst than because he 218 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: didn't do it. That guy fell on his own. It 219 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,599 Speaker 1: was the guy Mike Mike pier Is. Mike said that 220 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: the second one he thought was deliberate, and he and 221 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: Troy kind of get into he was he was tripping 222 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: on that nice nice So the first one, the first 223 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,319 Speaker 1: one led. It was an incomplete pass anyway, but it 224 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: led to second and twenty three, which led to third 225 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: and nineteen, and then you had to punt on fourth 226 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: and twelve at the thirty and that's when the block occurred. 227 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 1: You know, I you know, I'm a fan but also 228 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: a player, so I'm gonna fuss about this in either way. 229 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 1: The holding called as well against Taiwan. Oh yeah, that 230 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,079 Speaker 1: was just the player gave up. How can you call 231 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: holding the black guy stopped? I agree, it just I mean, 232 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: his hand was on his shoulder, but he wasn't gripping 233 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: them and you could clearly see that the guy was 234 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 1: just whipped. He had nothing to do with his hand 235 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: being on the shoulder. He was beaten on that call. Now, 236 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 1: all that being said, the last the tripping call on Frederick. 237 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 1: I was surprised they threw the ball in that situation. 238 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: It was third and one and I'm on the sideline 239 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: looking at it, and we talked about those weird mix 240 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: and match with their linebackers that they'll do up front. 241 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: They had one down lineman and I think there was 242 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: a third and one earlier in the game, same look. 243 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: They ran a drawed as heke and got five yards. 244 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: So you dropped back and you pass, and you you 245 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: open yourself up to that type of call ball. But 246 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: I can't go there. I can't go there. He thought 247 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,719 Speaker 1: it was a good play. I thought it because it 248 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,599 Speaker 1: was well. Another part of it is it worked and 249 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: he got a bouncy got the first down. Okay, I 250 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: can't go. I mean, you know, that's when we started 251 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: really going down the series. We have a hold. When 252 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 1: you start talking about what we should have run the ball, 253 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: then we wouldn't have had that. Pat. Well, we made 254 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,839 Speaker 1: the play, period, and there was a bad call. Well, 255 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: and there are running plays, and we've seen it in 256 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: the past. In fact, I remember a game in Detroit 257 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: where there was a running play and the game where 258 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford won the game on a long pass and 259 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: then the quarterbacks neak to win the game. But remember 260 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: the Cowboys had the ball, they run a safe running play, 261 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: running back bounces it outside and there's a holding call 262 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: on that one. So there are times where even a 263 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: running play, I'm with you, I believe there may have 264 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: been a time out right before that. There's two minute warnings, 265 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: two minute warning, and I was thinking during the two 266 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: minute warning, because I'm big on just get the first down, 267 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: get a new set of downs, and let's go and 268 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: get looked too. I was surprised, but well, there was 269 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: two downs, and there was two down linemen, six defensive 270 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: backs and four linebackers and then your defense. We were 271 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: running it down the throats, right yeah, and we were 272 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: banging the wheel. Good. Yeah, but I would I because 273 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: I'm a novice, I would have called a running play. 274 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: It was I'm not I'm not killing Moore. I'm just 275 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: saying I was in hindsight, the better play is what 276 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: the play that they ran. Because you're getting out of 277 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: bounds and you're stopping the clock. You're not losing time 278 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: on the clock. Mell as you say it. Also, when 279 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: you run a pass play, there is more of a 280 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: chance of getting And I thought it was gonna be 281 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: a hole, not a trip that I saw there as 282 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: a play. That's all. That's all I got on You 283 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: look like like no that, I mean, that's a really 284 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: frustrating call. There's no doubt about it. And then you 285 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: know you think he thought of Mary Mighty made that catch. 286 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: But I guess the ball did hit the ground there. 287 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: It was pretty clear, and and you know, I thought 288 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: it was a good catchy. He's like a mother Yeah, 289 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: And I said, yeah, his armies, Yeah, it was a 290 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: hell of a catch. But yeah, that's the game right there. 291 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: And they did, you know, Stepan Gilmour tip your cap man. 292 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: He bottled up the best receiver you got for what 293 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: fifty two plays? Yeah? Yeah, So the weather, bottle, bottle, 294 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: anybody one thing I like about this. I gotta say, 295 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: even with the struggles, you know, we want to have 296 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: an identity for this team, we really do, but we don't. 297 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: I mean, we know that we can pass the ball 298 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: on anybody. We know we can run the ball to anybody. 299 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: We know we can't stop anybody. Even though the numbers 300 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: look good, if you look at our defensive numbers, I'm 301 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: gonna give them to you a great job, please do so. 302 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: In this game, the Cowboys had thirty nine more total yards. 303 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: They had more rushing yards by eight. They had more 304 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: passing yards against the great Tom Brady by twenty two yards. 305 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: They were three or four. On field goals, they were 306 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: one of three or two of four. And then on 307 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: time of possession, the Cowboys had the ball forty four 308 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: seconds or so. Offensively, they kind of dominated them. And 309 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 1: when it came to first downs, and I heard them say, oh, 310 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: the Cowboys have only converted two first down. Right, So 311 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 1: the Cowboys were two of thirteen. They were three of fourteen, 312 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,439 Speaker 1: so it was dead even basically. But the Cowboys did 313 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: the same thing the Patriots did. The Patriots didn't make 314 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: those two mistakes well, there was more than two mistakes. Well, 315 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 1: I mean the turnovers. Yeah, I know, but I mean 316 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: you were talking about the hidden yardage and it was 317 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: more than just two plays. That's why I go back 318 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 1: to the special teams on the last field goal drive 319 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: that New England has. You get back to back penalties 320 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,440 Speaker 1: on the punt and you spot them twenty yards. That 321 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: was a very curious situation.

To Talking in Cowboys. 368 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 1: Talking Cowboys continues here at the Star in Frisco. After 369 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: a Patriots win over the Cowboys on Sunday, and we 370 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: are three days away from more football at at and 371 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: T Stadium, Cowboys and the Buffalo Bills. And actually, if 372 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 1: the Cowboys win this game over the Buffalo Bills, they 373 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: will have a victory over a team with a winning record, 374 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 1: was they will make the playoffs and beat somebody from 375 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: other than Miami, because now that went over Philadelphia is discounted. Okay, 376 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: it's just discard that went over Philadelphia because now Philadelphia 377 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: does not have a winning record. So they're three of 378 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: their five losses they're AFC teams. I haven't added it up, 379 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: but yeah, I believe. So yeahn't that right? Yeah? All right, 380 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: you want to discuss that. Let's go all right, so 381 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: you know how it started to get in that situation, right, Okay, 382 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 1: let's to remind people what the situation is. So Cowboys 383 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 1: have third and three at the fifty yard line. Dak 384 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: hits Cooper on a cross for fifteen yards down to 385 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: their thirty five yard line for a first down. And 386 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 1: that's when the holes got called Tyron Smith that we 387 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 1: talked about on Jamie Collins. Right. So now it's third 388 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: and thirteen at the fifty and he tries to quick 389 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: out it's incomplete. Now it's fourth and thirteen at the fifty. 390 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: They basically brought everybody in like they were coming for 391 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: a block. They didn't have anybody back, and I think 392 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: it kind of caught the Cowboys by surprise, and Jason 393 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: explained that instead of taking a time out, we just 394 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: took the delay a game to figure out what we 395 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,120 Speaker 1: were going to do. And so they took the five 396 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: yard penalty. It was delay. They didn't get the snap off. 397 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 1: So now it's fourth and eighteen and they basically they 398 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: had Burke burkehead back kind of back. It was only 399 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 1: back like ten fifteen yards. So he was to the 400 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: side where the Cowboys gunner was in case they threw 401 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: the ball. Because what they did was they brought their 402 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 1: guy that was the hold up guy at the last minute. 403 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: They brought him in all right, and so Ventel Bryant said, oh, 404 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: I better come in too otnumbers. He was coming in. 405 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 1: They snapped it too soon. He didn't get set and 406 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 1: so they got called for a legal motion. Right, he 407 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: was on the line of scrimmage, yes, and so, And 408 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: as soon as it happened, I said, that's an illegal 409 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: motion because he was not flanked out. He was on 410 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage exactly. So it has to be 411 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: a shift. So the emotion, so right, if you're on 412 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: if you're lined up as the end and not the flanker, 413 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: but they let the they left the play go right, 414 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: and as it turned out, the punt got downed at 415 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 1: the eighteen yard line. Eighteen, and now you got to 416 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: kick again and it was a shorter So now you're 417 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: kicking from the Your line of scrimmage is the thirty 418 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: instead of thirty five. So now you've been backed up 419 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,719 Speaker 1: ten yards you've been so if you're at the forty, 420 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: now you were at the fifty two fives to the 421 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: forty and he now you you're at the fifty. You 422 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: had you had a penalty that pushed you back to 423 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 1: the forty, and then you had another penalty that pushed 424 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 1: you back to the third or I don't no, you're wrong. 425 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 1: It was two five yard penals. Okay, go ahead. So 426 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 1: it's fourth and twenty three at the forty. Only a 427 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 1: thirty two yard punt, fair head, that's would make the 428 00:23:54,680 --> 00:24:00,040 Speaker 1: difference the yards, yeah, instead of the eighteen. And I 429 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: will tell you I'm right. Okay, here's what happened. You're 430 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,360 Speaker 1: at the fifty. Yeah, yeah, to listen to me. You're 431 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: at the fifty. You had a hold on Tyron Smith 432 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:14,639 Speaker 1: that pushed you back to the forties. Okay, No, No, 433 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 1: the hold was on third down. It was third and 434 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 1: three at fifty, third and three at the fifty, and 435 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: there's a hold that made it third and thirteen at 436 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: the forty. Then you had a delay a game that 437 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: pushed you back to the thirty five, and then you 438 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: had the illegal motion which pushed you back to the thirty. Wow. Yeah, 439 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: hidden yardage, man. I wrote it. I wrote it down 440 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: ever since old coach Bill Parcels. He harped on that 441 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: a lot. And see, these are the games that and 442 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 1: we talked about it. You gotta be flawless coming in 443 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 1: because they're not gonna make the mistakes. They're gonna wait 444 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: for you to make the mistakes. And sure enough, we 445 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: feel right into it. And then and we didn't just 446 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: voluntarily just go in and give it up. No, this 447 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: is a good defense. They force what they forced, but 448 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: we were also implicitly what happened. And then guess what happens. 449 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: They end up kicking a forty two yard field goal. 450 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 1: So those twenty yards we talked about, they would have 451 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: never been in field goal range because they ran at 452 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: the said it was more than just the two. And see, 453 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: it's just a game like this. You can't judge how 454 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: good you are as a team. You know when you 455 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: execute right. And that's what we want to see. How 456 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: good we're both teams going to be when they are 457 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 1: able to execute. And it's hard to really judge both 458 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: teams when you have the situation, the climate, and the 459 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: conditions the way they were. I just really don't I 460 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: don't look at it as a game to where you 461 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: can say, you know what, you know, these guys didn't 462 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,199 Speaker 1: get any better. You can't really say we didn't get 463 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: any better. What we did show that is that when 464 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,479 Speaker 1: you look at super Dome with the crowd and all 465 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: these other activities, when you look at New England with 466 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: the weather, we don't adapt well to unusual situations that 467 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 1: we can't see when when it comes to that, it 468 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: seems too we seem to be more overwhelmed by the 469 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 1: conditions than the opposing team. Yeah. I think the Patriots 470 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 1: handled the rain overall better, at least at least in 471 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,400 Speaker 1: the kicking game. And they Belichick talked about it after 472 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,919 Speaker 1: the game that we wanted to challenge them, challenge their 473 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: ball handling in that situation. And I mean they ever since, right, 474 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 1: I mean that's their strength. They're as good as anybody 475 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: in the league, the best, and it took advantage in 476 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 1: their environment. It wasn't. I mean, Mickey's right in the 477 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: fact that Tom Brady didn't have a good day, you know, 478 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: the rain affected everybody. Defense played really well, but two 479 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: of thirteen on third down, I mean, you think you 480 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,919 Speaker 1: could do better than that, especially when you're the best 481 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: third down team in the league offensively. They just didn't 482 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,640 Speaker 1: make enough. They're the best third down defense in the league. Yeah, 483 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 1: I mean, and I bet they thought they were better 484 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: than three of fourteen two. All right, let's take the 485 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: scenario further into the next possession for the Cowboys, where 486 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 1: after the field go by New England makes it thirteen 487 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: to six, and then the kickoff and the Cowboys wind 488 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 1: up starting at their own eleven yard line. Now, as 489 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 1: it turned turns out, and we can talk about the 490 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: alignment of the deep guy Tony Pollard, and he should 491 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: have been up at the ten rather than the goal line. 492 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: But the Cowboys they overcame that because they went fifty 493 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 1: nine yards to Randall Cob and flipped the field and 494 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 1: got down into field goal range themselves and wind up 495 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 1: kicking the field gap. Heck of a player there finally 496 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 1: got loose something offensively, big chunk play. That's the thing, 497 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: like I said, I like about this team. We've got 498 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:27,360 Speaker 1: so many weapons to where Okay, Coop's not available, Yeah, 499 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 1: we can still go with the Cob. That's going to 500 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 1: be a mismatch. Gallup still came through with some really 501 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: good catches. I mean he drops passes and d at 502 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: and T Stadium. Then he comes out here in New 503 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: England and its wet is I don't know what he's 504 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: sure handed this can be. And I figured we would 505 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 1: make a couple of big catches for him. So on 506 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: that kickoff, they were kicking into the wind and I'm 507 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 1: sitting there, going the ball's not going to get to 508 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: the endline, the end zone, end zone, so he needs 509 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: to be at the ten or twenty. Well, what they 510 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: did was they brought Wally a little bit further back, 511 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: and Wally was right there to catch it, and they 512 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: called him I think he called it. I couldn't see, 513 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 1: you know, you can't see if he said like outfield, 514 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: it's like in the outfield center fielders coming up the 515 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: center fielder and he's like, I got it, I got it, 516 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: And all of a sudden he stepped out of the way. 517 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: And that's what's what Old Wally was supposed to be 518 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: there for to catch it. If it came out, he 519 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 1: had to be called off. He wouldn't just night catch it. 520 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 1: And when he's put in there to catch it, unless 521 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: he heard footsteps, well, I hope you heard. I hope 522 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 1: you heard the voice, and maybe it was Polo saying 523 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: I got it, I got it. And then when it drops, 524 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 1: Polo's way out of position, because you know, you want 525 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: to be as the balls coming in particular trajecture, you 526 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: want to be within that trajecture. He was over to 527 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: the side. It passed him. He had to go get it. 528 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: Then it gets back to where he lined up. Yeah, 529 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: because he's running full speed to get there and you're 530 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: looking up in the rain. By the way, he thought 531 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: he had a home run hitter at the plate. He 532 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 1: got up lined up on the warning track. And so 533 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: now you got to start Texas, You got to start 534 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,719 Speaker 1: at the eleven eleven yard line, right, But but then 535 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 1: they overcame that with the fifty nine yard or the 536 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: cop Okay, so now we get down to the end 537 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 1: of this thing. Right. Now we get down to the 538 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 1: end of that possession, which is just over six minutes 539 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: to play in the game. And you got first down 540 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 1: at the fourteen, zeke for three, second and seven at 541 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: the eleven. Should have been zeke for three instead it 542 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: was incomplete. Should have been third and four for three 543 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: more and it was incomplete. Jar went in the back 544 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 1: of the end zone and fourth and seven one. So 545 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: how close was that in the back of the end zone? 546 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 1: Didn't look out? How close was it? Both feet? Yeah, 547 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: when when Dak released it, I say, oh, I threw 548 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 1: it out the out of the back of the end zone. 549 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: I didn't think there was any chance when he released it. 550 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: I was surprised it was as close at thinking this 551 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:12,959 Speaker 1: stuff it try happily against that.

Baylor it is well, yes, oh you and Baylor, 631 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,839 Speaker 1: and Baylor's got a very good shot that's knocking off 632 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 1: the Sooners. All right, We continue with talking Cowboys, and 633 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 1: where we left off was with just over six minutes 634 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,400 Speaker 1: to play in that football game in Foxborough on Sunday, 635 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 1: as the Cowboys faced a third and seven, the incomplete 636 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 1: pass to Blake Jarwin in the back of the end zone, 637 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 1: and if only they could have got a little bit 638 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 1: closer and instead of facing fourth and seven, how about 639 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 1: fourth and two, and they had that opportunity, they would 640 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 1: have gone for it, right, fourth and three still would 641 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,880 Speaker 1: have gone for it. Little Manage said, yeah, so you 642 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 1: think that could have gotten gotten it too, Like if 643 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 1: you had not thrown it, I thought on third down 644 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 1: they should have would just say, hey, we're running it 645 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,879 Speaker 1: twice because it's the four down, it's four down territory there. 646 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,000 Speaker 1: But when you don't, when you're still at seven, yeah, 647 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,319 Speaker 1: I didn't question the call. I mean at fourth and seven, 648 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 1: I think you take the points, but it's it's down 649 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 1: to that third down. You have a play in mind 650 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 1: on third down to try to get you to a 651 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,279 Speaker 1: manageable fourth down instead of going for the end zone. 652 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,840 Speaker 1: That that was that's the issue. I don't know obviously 653 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,839 Speaker 1: what the what the thinking was there on third down, 654 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 1: but that's what impacted it. So I agree, I would 655 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,480 Speaker 1: have tried to get it as close as possible, okay, 656 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,879 Speaker 1: to make it four. But at fourth and seven, I'm 657 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 1: taking the points. And the reason I'm taking the points 658 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,439 Speaker 1: is because now you've made it a four point game 659 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,239 Speaker 1: and there's six or four left and New England, in 660 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,560 Speaker 1: order to put the game away now has to score 661 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 1: a touchdown. Okay, Hey, they go down and kick a 662 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,399 Speaker 1: field goal, you're still within seven. And if you talk 663 00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 1: to Troy Eigman, he was swearing, yes, that was the 664 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,839 Speaker 1: most horrible decision right right that Jason Garrett has ever made. 665 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,320 Speaker 1: He was all over him. He might as well just 666 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: extremely opinionated and just stuck a sword right, like, wow, 667 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 1: wen't they teammates save? People don't consider? People don't consider. Okay, 668 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,879 Speaker 1: what are the ramifications if you don't make the first 669 00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,920 Speaker 1: because if you go for it, you're gonna make it, okay, 670 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 1: And you got Tom Brady leading that team down the field, 671 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 1: and you have to say, we get it back if 672 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 1: we don't make it. Yeah, and all they got to 673 00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,040 Speaker 1: do is kick a field goal, and now they had 674 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:36,759 Speaker 1: a ten point lead on you, and the game is over. 675 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,040 Speaker 1: He turns out defense did stop him. You got the 676 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:44,120 Speaker 1: ball back. Not only with two thirty eight left in 677 00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 1: the game, you also had three timeouts left. You got 678 00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:50,239 Speaker 1: what you wanted. And and so even as it turned out, 679 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,279 Speaker 1: even with the horrible call by the official and the 680 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 1: Patriots take over with less than two minutes to go, 681 00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,440 Speaker 1: minute forty whatever it was with at the at your 682 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 1: twenty five yard line because you kicked the field goal. 683 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 1: You're still in the football game, and all you have 684 00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,879 Speaker 1: to do is get a stop and you're gonna I'm 685 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,880 Speaker 1: talking their last possession where they ran two plays and 686 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 1: got a first down. You get a stop there, they're 687 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,800 Speaker 1: kicking a field goal and you're still only down a 688 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 1: touchdown and you got more than a minute left in 689 00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: the game. That's true, but that's why you kicked the 690 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:26,879 Speaker 1: field goal there. See, So Eightman's comments is what really 691 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:30,160 Speaker 1: sparked us to think more than definitely. But but again, 692 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,879 Speaker 1: I mean third down was key though, because if you'd 693 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,920 Speaker 1: run a different third down play, you get yourself in 694 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,040 Speaker 1: better possession. But where that was not his concern at all. 695 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:43,320 Speaker 1: He was adamant about what a horrible decision it was 696 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:48,080 Speaker 1: to kick the field goal, period, regardless. And the thinking 697 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,040 Speaker 1: on that is that is that how many chances are 698 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:52,800 Speaker 1: you gonna have you get down there? Yeah, but you 699 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,359 Speaker 1: also have to think this is the best third down 700 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,359 Speaker 1: defense exactly. They haven't given up many testdowns at all 701 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:02,759 Speaker 1: that you haven't shown to be effective against him in 702 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,760 Speaker 1: this particular situation. Let's just just let's take our losses 703 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 1: right now, kick this field goal. We come back here. Actually, 704 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,879 Speaker 1: he actually said if I and maybe you remember Coby 705 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,879 Speaker 1: uh when it was first intend at the fourteen, when 706 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,799 Speaker 1: it was first intend at the fourteen, and you can't 707 00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:23,440 Speaker 1: call me that young fellow. Good He said, they're in 708 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:27,239 Speaker 1: four down territory before they even ran a play, so 709 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,319 Speaker 1: he wasn't going to back off when it was they. 710 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,440 Speaker 1: I agree they were important. You just said that poor 711 00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 1: down territory. As long as you get it down there 712 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,960 Speaker 1: to wear on fourth, then you're in a manageable situation 713 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,399 Speaker 1: fourth down. See and they and they they hadn't run 714 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:42,800 Speaker 1: that that that zone read play the entire game, and 715 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,280 Speaker 1: on first down they run it and basically New England 716 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:50,799 Speaker 1: stop the same thing against the Vikings, right, same play, right, 717 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 1: And it didn't right. It was that close, and I 718 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 1: don't know. When you're that close, everything's compacted. So the 719 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 1: defense is not gonna get fooled to the point where there. 720 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,120 Speaker 1: This is the new norm in the NFL. And I've 721 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,359 Speaker 1: seen it. I know exactly what you're talking about. When 722 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,320 Speaker 1: we grew up, Bill, you remember, they just had to 723 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,839 Speaker 1: stray dive play. Quarterback just turns around, he doesn't even 724 00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,880 Speaker 1: have to move. I'm the center here, comes that fullback 725 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:19,120 Speaker 1: of that running back, he comes in right. Remember we 726 00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,359 Speaker 1: grew up on that. Now, all the all offenses they 727 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 1: take the ball to the running back and then let 728 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,279 Speaker 1: him pick his poison. And to me, they've done that 729 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,120 Speaker 1: even in the end zone. And I mean day, I'm 730 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,360 Speaker 1: talking about all offenses in the NFL. They've done that 731 00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 1: even when they're in the end zone, so that there's 732 00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,239 Speaker 1: no fear of that play. I think they feel that 733 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,839 Speaker 1: the defensive back is at a better advantage by having 734 00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 1: us give him the ball so he can pick the 735 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,879 Speaker 1: hole that he wants. Yes, and then all it got 736 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 1: was three yards. Okay, So anything else of note from 737 00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:00,400 Speaker 1: this game before we put it to bed rise upset 738 00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,719 Speaker 1: Jerry was after the game. They've never the other thing. 739 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 1: He had some strong comments after the game. I haven't 740 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,759 Speaker 1: heard him that frustrated postgame interview, and I just read 741 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 1: the transcript. I wasn't actually there, maker you there. I 742 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 1: heard like a third of it, I think, and I 743 00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,000 Speaker 1: left and I came back and he was still going. 744 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:21,239 Speaker 1: So here's what I say. If Jason Garrett is not 745 00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,880 Speaker 1: as hands on it he needs to be in every 746 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,560 Speaker 1: facet of this game of his team, then he should 747 00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,320 Speaker 1: get there. He should have abably been there. You know, 748 00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,759 Speaker 1: he felt that he had capable coaches. We've never had 749 00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,759 Speaker 1: problems with special teams. And this is the first year 750 00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,800 Speaker 1: where you can say special teams is a detriment to 751 00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:44,800 Speaker 1: this team. Yeah, any other year, special teams is our strength. 752 00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:49,360 Speaker 1: It's always the most consistent. And now this coach of 753 00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:52,239 Speaker 1: this team is in the position that they're really not 754 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 1: accustomed to, and it's costing us games. Two close losses 755 00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,560 Speaker 1: in the last three or four games. The Minnesota changed 756 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,800 Speaker 1: because of special teams. Yeah, you got a lot of 757 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,719 Speaker 1: young guys out, you know what, and and and they're 758 00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,240 Speaker 1: coached and you know that if they can't do the difference, 759 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:15,919 Speaker 1: there's somebody starters out there. But it's for me. Yeah, 760 00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,440 Speaker 1: as a starter, I'm thinking, well, I played special teams, 761 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 1: but you're putting me on pot coverage. And how often 762 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,560 Speaker 1: does that happen? I think about you got forty six 763 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:29,040 Speaker 1: man roster, Think about the mistakes that were made. You know, Oh, 764 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,879 Speaker 1: young guys. Then tell Bryan he's a rookie, never played 765 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,040 Speaker 1: in the league until the Cowboys put him out because 766 00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,640 Speaker 1: of special teams. Let's let's not give him too much now, 767 00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:41,480 Speaker 1: he's a wide receiver. Yeah, so the rules still stand 768 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,960 Speaker 1: your pot coverage or why if you're moving, Yeah, what 769 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,480 Speaker 1: you're doing and know the ramifications of if you move 770 00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,840 Speaker 1: versus on the line, off the line versus. I assume 771 00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,000 Speaker 1: he thought he was going to get there before the snap, 772 00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:58,879 Speaker 1: that he was going to get be able to get 773 00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,120 Speaker 1: lined up and get set. And then that's the fullback 774 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:05,440 Speaker 1: has to say wait or because they kind of quicked 775 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,920 Speaker 1: out and the center doesn't know what's going on out 776 00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,239 Speaker 1: there right. All he knows is he has a snapping right. 777 00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,799 Speaker 1: And then the other thing we didn't mention the fact 778 00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:17,040 Speaker 1: that when they were going to the left on the 779 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,960 Speaker 1: TV screen to kick that first field goal, which he 780 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,239 Speaker 1: had trouble with going in warmups, going that way, I 781 00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,839 Speaker 1: was going, oh, I don't know about forty six yards right, 782 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,160 Speaker 1: how did he miss? It? Bounced off the upright, right 783 00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:35,120 Speaker 1: up the upright. Yeah, it was good. It was good 784 00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:39,359 Speaker 1: until it faded a little bit. Very dramatic camera shot 785 00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:41,680 Speaker 1: by the way on TV. Guess you can see the 786 00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:45,600 Speaker 1: ball for the most part. If I remember there was 787 00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:49,080 Speaker 1: a five yard false start in there by Tyrn Smith 788 00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,040 Speaker 1: on that there was and if that thing was five 789 00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,759 Speaker 1: yards closer, he'd have made it now it would have 790 00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:58,680 Speaker 1: been thirteen twelve instead of thirteen nine. But that they 791 00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:00,719 Speaker 1: were that close on that deal. It's I'm about kicking 792 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:02,680 Speaker 1: from that side of the field because I think folks 793 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,520 Speaker 1: misses were both from that side as well, and warm 794 00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:09,880 Speaker 1: ups in warmups, I didn't either. He didn't know he 795 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,959 Speaker 1: was still in the league either. We had a chance 796 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:16,560 Speaker 1: folks kicking. Somebody said, you know what, somebody in the 797 00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:18,719 Speaker 1: press box that all folks just kicked like he did 798 00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:23,279 Speaker 1: with the Cowboys, all folks and and uh and he 799 00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,200 Speaker 1: wasn't in the league a month ago. Wow, that he's 800 00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:29,920 Speaker 1: the third rd they had guys, They had Mike Nugent 801 00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:35,640 Speaker 1: before him, and so he's he's unborrowed time. No telling 802 00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,480 Speaker 1: who the Patriots are going to have kicking for them 803 00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:44,719 Speaker 1: when the rematch occurs on Groundhogs Day. You never know. 804 00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:50,040 Speaker 1: It's sticking by it. I am sticking by it all right. 805 00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:53,680 Speaker 1: That does it for Talking Cowboys. The break is waiting 806 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:57,279 Speaker 1: to take over to discuss all things Cowboys Patriots in 807 00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,319 Speaker 1: just a moment. This has been a production of Dallas 808 00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,480 Speaker 1: Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club
