00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: Today's Monday, December eleven. Remember Garcia Derek Eagleton decided to

8
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: take a vacation right. I don't know where he's at now,

9
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: just kidding. He's doing something work related. I suppose stayed

10
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: in New York. Yeah, they too cool for us exactly,

11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: decided to stay behind over there. How are you guys doing? Awesome?

12
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: Amber a little bit fatigued. Well, yeah, but it's victory Monday.

13
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: But it was a noon game. Wasn't like I feel

14
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: great when you got home at like nine thirty, watched

15
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: the end of this Monday night game. Got to bed

16
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: way earlier than I typically do on a Sunday. Great,

17
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: got a spacious airplane, Yeah we did. That was one

18
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: of the best road trips ever in terms of everything

19
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: that happened from kickoff onward. That's good. Yeah, yeah, nice meal.

20
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if we should say where, but you

21
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: did get a nice meal Saturday night, one of Drake's

22
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: favorite restaurants. Like younger generation can put that together, yep. Okay, Well,

23
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: let's start talking about this game. It was a good game.

24
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: Great game, well, not so great. Let's just it was great.

25
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: It was a great finish. Yeah, great finish for sure.

26
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: And again the Cowboys are still in the run for

27
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 1: the playoffs, so we can keep talking about that in

28
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: another week and kind of relax this week a little bit.

29
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: Take it day by day. I decided to go by

30
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: Garrett's motto, taking it day by day. So let's talk

31
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: about this game. They started off really bad, just kind

32
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: of tying up the game throughout the whole time. Three

33
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: three in ten, ten, and then right in the fourth

34
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: quarter they made magic happen somehow. They started well a

35
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: ton of points. I will disagree a little bit with

36
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: the first part about it started off really bad. I

37
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: don't think it started off really bad. It just wasn't great.

38
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: They hung in there, and I think that's what I

39
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: was talking about all week long. Just don't let it,

40
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: don't get too far behind on this team, where it's

41
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: gonna be hard to come back, and I thought that

42
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: they did a nice job with that. It was a

43
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: close game. It was Cowboys Giants all the way and

44
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: then until the fourth quarter, like you said, magic happened.

45
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: As we have on the website, you know, lightning Rod

46
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: just just oh, that's the headline we decided on. I

47
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, I like that. He was great, and

48
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: I know that a lot of people around here really

49
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: like him because he's a good guy and he's been

50
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: Jalen's older brother and now he's Rod Smith. I mean,

51
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: he's just Rod Smith, the playmaker who really saved the

52
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: Cowboys in this game. And it was awesome. It's awesome

53
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: to see. And he's such a versatile back that, I mean,

54
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: he can do a lot of things. He made great plays.

55
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: We'll talk about this later. He made great plays throughout

56
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: the game, not just in the fourth quarter. He had

57
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: some really big moments there. One hundred and sixty all

58
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: purpose yards and two touchdowns. That's awesome, man. I mean

59
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: I've been waiting on that since Ezekiel Elia got suspended.

60
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: I didn't expect to see it in the passing game,

61
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: but there it was. No but yeah, it's your point. Bad,

62
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: maybe not bad, but ugly, like just so ugly. I

63
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: thought that's good. Somebody said on Twitter like this might

64
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: be the worst football game I've ever watched. This was

65
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: at like halftime, and I was like, yeah, we're actually

66
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: I said that in the third quarter. I was talking

67
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: to somebody in the press box and I was like, an, obviously,

68
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: I mean it was ten ten at this point, and

69
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: I was like, if they lose this game, if they

70
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: find a way to lose this game, it will certainly

71
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: go down as one of the two or three worst

72
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: Cowboy games that I've had the misfortune of watching in person.

73
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: It would have been right up there with like twenty

74
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: fifteen bucks and twenty fifteen bills in terms of just

75
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: like uninspiring, putrid football. But then about midway through the

76
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: third quarter they just kind of broke the Giants will

77
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: And I mean, like that's the midway through the fourth quarter. Well,

78
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: I mean in terms of in terms of the score, yeah,

79
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: but I mean the defense was playing well, The Giants

80
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: weren't driving the ball, you know, the secondary was making

81
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: good plays on the ball. The running game was not great,

82
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: but it was there. And then yeah, I mean that's

83
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: I told y'all on the plane last night, you realize

84
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: it was it was seventeen ten with four and a

85
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: half minutes to play in this game, and then just

86
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: boom boom, just so and based on everything that you

87
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: guys watched, what do you think that they actually how

88
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 1: were they able to accomplish that in the fourth quarter?

89
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: They got it? It was the defense. Now, the offense

90
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: made plays, but when you think about the touchdown that

91
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: they had the Giants had one year or touchdown pass

92
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: it made it ten to three. The next nine possessions

93
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: after that, this is how they ended punt punt, punt, punt, punt, punt, interception,

94
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: interception game. It's it. I mean, when it's ten three

95
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: and you're thinking, oh, it's gonna be a long day,

96
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: the defense just tightened up and that you know, Shaun

97
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: Lee's pretty good. I don't know if anyone gets he's

98
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: a good player. Shaun Lee's a good football player and

99
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: he helps his team. And when he's got Hitchens four, no,

100
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: he's a good football play. Jason three valuable part of

101
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: our rolling thirty two total tackles between the two of

102
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: them last night or yesterday, Guiants averaged four point four

103
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: yards per play. They I mean they ran where'd it go?

104
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: Where did my play? Charco? Did they ran seventy five plays? Giants? Yeah,

105
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: it's a it's a truckload. Like that implies that you

106
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: got run off the field. Yeah, I think good, good

107
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: sensor they got that. That would imply that the Cowboys

108
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: got run off the field. But Eli Manning average four

109
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: point nine yards per tempt. The Giants average like three

110
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: point two yards per carry. Like the defense was great.

111
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I thought they'd get more sacks.

112
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: I thought they'd take more advantage of that offensive line.

113
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: But you certainly can't complain about ten points. And yeah,

114
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: I mean the Giants didn't have a meaningful possession after halftime.

115
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: And everybody know before you just you know, throwing stuff

116
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 1: at the internet. I mean, I've been at the website

117
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: about us. I mean, we get the Giants are not

118
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: very good. They're not a good team. That they're banged up,

119
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: they got no players out there, they have no running game.

120
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: But that's what happens. I mean, you know, it was

121
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: a it was a tight game for a while and

122
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: then just talent kind of just rises to the top.

123
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: And that's what happened. I guess that's why I kind

124
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: of called it a really bad game. It wasn't because

125
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: they were tying kind of a that was just slow. Yeah,

126
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: luckily would be a better description. The only thing that

127
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: was pretty about it for me. And you guys don't

128
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: know this because you weren't alive, but when you watch

129
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys in the eighties, every year they would

130
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: go to the Giants and they'd go to a game

131
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: like that. We would always be like cloudy and I'm

132
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: cold and rainy, and they're wearing their blues and the

133
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: Giants looked just like that, and they're whites, and that

134
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: was the game and it was always a tough one

135
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: that couldn't stop Lawrence Taylor. I grew up watching that

136
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: look right there, except not with a favorable outcome. Not always.

137
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: Sometimes they would win, but but not a lot of times.

138
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: And I mean, so that was cool to see. It

139
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: was kind of like taking it back a little bit.

140
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: That then the Giants logo instead of the ny It

141
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: made me feel like it made me think of being

142
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: a little kid. I love it. I mean, it was

143
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: it was awesome. So let's talk out. There was no

144
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: Lawrence Taylor to block him. No, but but if they,

145
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: if he was over there, I'm not sure mister Lyle

146
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: Collins wouldn't been able to block him. This guy right

147
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: here is like he's taking it to a new level.

148
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he he. I hope people realize what he's

149
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: not doing and then what he's doing, and what he's

150
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: not doing is practicing, and what he's doing is playing

151
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: his ass off on Sunday hurt. He's got to be

152
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: hurt and banged up. This guy, to me might be

153
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: playing at a pro Bowl level. I mean, I mean,

154
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: when you think about it, he's snug. He snuck in

155
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: his rookie year as an alternate as a guard. Wouldn't

156
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: be surprised if he's going to get some looks here.

157
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: He's playing really well. That would be interesting. And he

158
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: I mean, especially since he's not practicing. I think he's

159
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: been great. I think I don't know if it was

160
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: his mistake or a miscommunication with the tight end, but

161
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: I think was it the play that Dak made the

162
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: Houdini escape. Did Lyle let that guy go? I don't,

163
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: I mean, oh, when he got it out to Alfred Morris, Yeah,

164
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: then I don't remember if that Russot died on the

165
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: left or right side. But that was a big play.

166
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: I know it was right dad, he made a Yeah

167
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: he was great, but no, you're right Lyle Collins two

168
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: weeks in a row, I think he's been phenomenal. Yeah,

169
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: so let's talk of all Prescott, a guy we've been

170
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: talking about week after week, and his passing game and

171
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: the connection with the receivers. Yeah. I wrote this on

172
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: Twitter and a lot of people just pretty much killing

173
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 1: me for it, like, yeah, exactly. I basically said his

174
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: supporting cast was good, and when his supporting cast is good,

175
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: it allows Dak to be great. Dak was great again

176
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: because he finally got some help. That that's it helped

177
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: me help you. That's what I wrote about. That's what

178
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: they did, you know, Dak. I mean Dez was making

179
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: some plays that you know, caught the ball and said

180
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: get off me. Dez Bryant made a few. I mean,

181
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: I mean Cole Beasley made a nice play there. These

182
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: guys helped him out. And when you can help out Dak,

183
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: he can be really good. But he wasn't getting any help.

184
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: He hasn't gotten much help to last three or four games,

185
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: and he got some today. And I think yesterday he

186
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 1: saw the difference. Yeah, I agree, And the funny thing

187
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: for me is, okay, there's no denying it. Like what

188
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty five of his three hundred and

189
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: thirty yards came on recept or receiving yards after the catch.

190
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he has a twelve yards slant turned into

191
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: a fifty yard touchdown by Dez Bryant. He has a

192
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: six yard curl turned into a fifty four yard game

193
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: by Cole Beasley, and then the inside slant, which was

194
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 1: probably an eight yard throw if I had to guess,

195
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: goes eighty one yards, and like, I get it, his

196
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: receivers did a lot of that work. But like, wow,

197
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: why I'm not dog and deck for that? Like, oh no, yeah,

198
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: but but I feel like like some you know, people

199
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 1: are quick to like dismiss the accomplishment of throwing for

200
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: three hundred yards because a lot of it was you know,

201
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: after the cat. Did you see what he did with

202
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: the Rod Smith? I mean he moved rod Smith out

203
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: there on the eighty one yard touchdown. He moved him

204
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: out into the into the slot and then that's when

205
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: he forced the linebackers to cover him. And that's when

206
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: it was like, all right, and he faked it off.

207
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: He went left left. He knew he was gonna break free,

208
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: so he made that play. And then on the Beasley play,

209
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 1: which rod Smith had a great block. That's one of

210
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: rod Smith's best plays of the game. Had a great block.

211
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 1: But again they were blitzing. He finds the guy and

212
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: then he let those guys do the work. So it's

213
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 1: a combination of both. I mean, he had a good

214
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: awareness to give the ball out there to those guys

215
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: to let him go make play. Of course, Yeah, it's

216
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: obviously a combination of both. And then the other thing

217
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: I would leave out is the I don't know, at

218
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: least at least thirty to fifty yards that were dropped

219
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: earlier in the game, you know, and they weren't helping

220
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: him early. It is it is nice to see a

221
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: game where Dak Prescott's like options gave him a lot

222
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: of help. And I mean, whatever, yeah, a lot of

223
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: that was run after the catch. I really don't care.

224
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: I thought he was great. He was a great decision maker.

225
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: He completed sixty seven percent. Like I said, he escaped

226
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: a certain sack to get the ball off. Um. I

227
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: thought he was phenomenal and you know, and like, I

228
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: guess I get people's point that it's it's not it's

229
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: not a hollow three hundred and three two yards, you know,

230
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: but it's you know, you know what I'm trying to say,

231
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 1: like it's, um, what's the word I'm looking for here?

232
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: Like it maybe it's a little inflated from what it

233
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: actually was, but that doesn't that that doesn't take away

234
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: from how well I thought he played in terms of

235
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: his decision making. And well, I'm sure if Derek was here,

236
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 1: he would say that we were saying earlier in the

237
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: day that it's not earlier Oh yeah, exactly. It wasn't

238
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: gonna be a great passing day. No, he came, he

239
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: came at me about that on the sideline before the

240
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: game was over. He's like, so, it's not gonna be

241
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: a good day for passing and I was like, shut up,

242
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: it wasn't serious. It was and you know what, and

243
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: it really wasn't more than that. It was for the receivers.

244
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: I mean, they had a hard time catching the ball,

245
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: and I mean when Beasley's dropping passes, you know, it's

246
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: not it's gonna be you know, that kind of day,

247
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: And I thought the one that Dez dropped, that would

248
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: have been either a touchdown or right down there by

249
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 1: the one or two yard line. I mean, that's a

250
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: play makes a thousand times, and he just dropped it.

251
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 1: And it wasn't the best pass for Dak. I mean

252
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: he Dak could have thrown it out there a little

253
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: bit more and it would just been probably a walk

254
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: in touchdown. But you know, conditions like that, you're supposed

255
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: to get it up there and let your player go

256
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: make the play. And he didn't catch the ball. I

257
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 1: know he needs to catch it, and he was so

258
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: upset on the sideline. I don't know if you were

259
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: watching him on the side he was. There was a

260
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: good thing. There was no Mica over there for him,

261
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: and but everybody kept consoling him, saying, all right, he'll

262
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: be fine, you'll be fining later. That that same quarter

263
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: is when he made that play and Dak and Dak

264
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 1: had a great response to both, you know, the drop

265
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: by Daz and the one by Beasley. He was like,

266
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: and you know, to listeners points they've been making it

267
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: all year. He's like, he told him, he said, he

268
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: told him both like I've missed y'all more times than

269
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: I can count this year. So you know, I'm not

270
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: going to kill you over a drop pass. He actually

271
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: he said later too, m kind of walking off from that,

272
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: He's like, I don't want to hear that, Like I don't,

273
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't need my receiver to apologize to me. Yeah,

274
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: he's like, I don't really want to think about talk

275
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: about it, Like, yeah, I know you want to catch

276
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 1: the ball. Let's go, let's let's make another play. Yeah. Well,

277
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: it was good to definitely see them bouncing back in

278
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: the second half, which usually kind of turns out to

279
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 1: be the opponent's victory in those specific scenarios. I think

280
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: in the press box you said, oh, they're gonna score

281
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: in the third quarter. Oh yeah. The mood, the mood

282
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: in the press box from the beginning until about midway

283
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: through the third quarter was a it was a down

284
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: one the press box there. I mean, you're so high

285
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: up there, it feels like there's a cloud that comes

286
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: underneath you. He's sure to watch the game, but he's

287
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: just feel so distant from the game, like you don't

288
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: you don't even hear I mean it's so quiet in there.

289
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: And then like, is there really a game for really

290
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: eighty thousand people out there like yelling, and so it's

291
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: just it's just one of those games where it's just

292
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: like That's my biggest beef with the NFL in general

293
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: is like, you know, I grew up a huge college

294
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: football fan, and U NFL press boxes just feel so

295
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: removed from the game. Like I wish, I wish the

296
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: press boxes were open, like I would. I know a

297
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: lot of people would hate that, but like I like

298
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: hearing the noise and being part of the environment. That's

299
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: one of my least favorite press boxes because it feels

300
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: like you're watching the game on Do you think the

301
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: people in Buffalo think that too, No, they're probably writers.

302
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: They're probably pretty pumped about. That's what I couldn't believe

303
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: is that, like, this is the same state. Now. I

304
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: know it's the there's a lot of there's a lot

305
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: of hours in between, but it's the same state of

306
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: Buffalo and then the Giants. I'm looking up and it's

307
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: a nice day. I mean it's it's a little cold,

308
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: but not that bad. It was gorgeous in East Rutherford.

309
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: Then all what happened in Buffalo. Now Here are some

310
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: question from Twitter about the DeMarcus Lawrence when he was

311
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: trying to, you know, tell the ref to make that call. Dave.

312
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: I know you tweeted out, oh, we want to talk

313
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: about that, let's go ahead and kind of discuss that.

314
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play that drop. No, No, we probably shouldn't it. Yeah,

315
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: well again, thanks for pointing that out. You got it

316
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: Amber because you have a beep. Yeah, I've got to bleed. Okay,

317
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: all right, let's yeah, let's just do that. He's good.

318
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: I gotta pull it up. Okay, Sorry, Well, I mean,

319
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: was there a blatant I'm missing something here? Was there

320
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: like a blatant play or was this just overall? I

321
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: know there was at least one where he got a

322
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: bear hug. I saw it happen. There was at least

323
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: one where there was a pretty obvious hold. I don't

324
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: know if it was, you know, happening throughout the game,

325
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: but I think to his point, it's something he's been

326
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: dealing with for five or six weeks now, which yeah,

327
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: so you know, it's it's all like you can tell

328
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: when a player has something he wants to talk about,

329
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: because it's like they win the game and he's just like,

330
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: look the refs aren't doing their job. I haven't seen

331
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: a whole year. I go here, we go the suse

332
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: you guys have the second half. Uh, you know, the

333
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: team just came out and did our job. That's the

334
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: main thing about it. Win't getting no holding calls. Um,

335
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: the reps out there for nothing. So we just you know,

336
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: came out and did our job. Did you feel like

337
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: you were over in spite that I ain't see a

338
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: holding call in the last five games. And it's ridiculous,

339
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: um that the reps are out here just looking at me,

340
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: you know, getting tackled by offensive linement, Like come on,

341
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: if you're gonna be out there, you know, do your

342
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: job then. And that's the main thing, um. And I

343
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: feel like it's unfair. Um. I feel like, you know,

344
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: I got a family to come home too. So if

345
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: you're trying to protect quarterbacks, you know you gotta protect

346
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: me too. And you if you're gonna do it, you gotta,

347
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: you know, do it on both sides. And if you're

348
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: gonna sit here and calls on bs on my old line,

349
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: you gotta call it on their online too. Queen Lane, period, Bro,

350
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: you don't hear nothing. When the last time you heard

351
00:16:55,560 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: holding offense. Yeah, I mean, you know it's a great

352
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,479
Speaker 1: team when um, we didn't play like you know, supposed

353
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: to play the first half. But you know we came

354
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: out on top and that's the main thing. Else and

355
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: that's all I gotta say. There, it is there, It

356
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: is all right, guys. Let's take a quick break and

357

402
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: after the game. Thoughts on his response. Yeah, that's I

403
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 1: was just telling Nick off the air like that. That

404
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: had nothing to do with anything that happened in that game.

405
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: That's just like a month's worth of frustration at I mean,

406
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 1: it's been a's been a talking point for a few

407
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: weeks now, is It certainly doesn't seem like the Cowboys

408
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: are getting a proportionate amount of holding calls on their

409
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: defensive line. Plenty of holding calls across the season, whether

410
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 1: it's Jason Witt and Tyrn Smith, even Travis Frederick I mean,

411
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 1: their offensive line has been very closely critiqued, and I

412
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: think I think espec hey d Law, you know, he's

413
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 1: he's the NFL sacks leader. He's playing for a contract

414
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 1: or likely a franchise, tag, Pro Bowl, all that type

415
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: of stuff, Like he wants sacks for a lot of reasons,

416
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: not just to help the team win, but for his

417
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: own bottom line too. And so I think he had

418
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 1: enough of it and decided it's worth getting fined, if

419
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 1: I can say my piece, because he didn't back down.

420
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 1: He went on Twitter. You know, I'm sitting there like,

421
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: do I really want to tweet this out? Like, you know,

422
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna get fine. But and then I'm like,

423
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: he said it in front of fifty reporters, and then

424
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: he went on Twitter and was like sorry, I'm not sorry,

425
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: like basically doubled down on it. And those questions weren't

426
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: you know, they were what do you think about the

427
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: lack of holding? No, that's what? Yeah, about your defense?

428
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: And he was like, well I didn't play that great,

429
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: you know, And then it was just like the ref

430
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 1: the ref the refs, and he talked about that family

431
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 1: that he has to go home too. Well, he took

432
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: some money out of that the whole plocket there for

433
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: getting fined, He's gonna get a pretty hefty fine, I

434
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: would imagine. Yeah. But if you're if you feel like

435
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: you're being treated unfairly, you need to speak up. But

436
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: I think f the refs is a little bit too

437
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 1: too far there. I mean you can, but it comes again.

438
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: A football player, man, you know you're upset. You I

439
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: get it, But I mean you're right. This isn't about

440
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: one game. This was about a bunch of games. This

441
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: is about seeing that the Giants offensive line and thinking

442
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: I should be getting sacks and I didn't. But my

443
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: biggest thing about referees, and it could be in any sport,

444
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 1: just whether it be the strike zone the same, whether

445
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: it be you're calling fouls on basketball the same, whether

446
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: you calling just just call it both ways. If that's

447
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 1: how you're gonna call it, call it that way. If

448
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: you're not going to call out a PI, then don't

449
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: call it. Jason Witten was flagged for a holding call,

450
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: and I think JPP which looked like it was a

451
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,719
Speaker 1: pretty good call. It was a good call and it

452
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 1: affected the play. I don't remember any other holding calls

453
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: by the Cowboys, and I know the Giants did get

454
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: called for one holding, so you know, I just don't

455
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 1: think that particular day was it was that bad. Yeah,

456
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: there were some plays that you could do it every

457
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 1: time every play, and I I kind of love it

458
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: to be honest first because it will not your money.

459
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: But well, I mean, maybe they'll take a collection up.

460
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe Tyrone Crawford to help him foot the bill.

461
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, but uh, you know, it's a this

462
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 1: is something we've been talking about for at least three,

463
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: if not like six weeks, and yeah, like I said,

464
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: I think he was just tired of hearing about it,

465
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: and yeah, like this game probably wasn't the best example,

466
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: but whatever. I like, in a weird way, it's kind

467
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 1: of an immature thing to do, but it's also like

468
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 1: a leader type thing to do. He's like whatever, Like

469
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: people want to talk to me because I'm the leading

470
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: sack guy. I'm gonna stand up and say something. That's

471
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: that's fine, I get to I really don't have a

472
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: problem with it. I was just saying, in this particular game,

473
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 1: I don't think it was no that warranted. But you

474
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: said it best. This isn't about one game. This is

475
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: a frustration, and he's got fourteen and a half sacks,

476
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 1: and he and he knows that if he gets to twenty,

477
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 1: that's pretty awesome. And he also knows that he can

478
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 1: pay whatever fine he wants with the money that's coming

479
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: his way in like three more months, on way or

480
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: the other. So I probably just knew that this would

481
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: be an offensive line that he could definitely get a

482
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,199
Speaker 1: lot of sap. I said he'd get three yesterday. But

483
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: he also has to remember this f the refs is

484
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: not the best thing you want going into Oakland or

485
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,719
Speaker 1: going into any game. When it's like, Okay, we'll see,

486
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, he may not get a call

487
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. May I just don't. I

488
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: just don't know if that was the best way to

489
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: do it. I know it's frustrated, but we'll see if

490
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: he gets how many calls he gets from You ever

491
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: get angry and just say things that you don't necessarily want, Yeah,

492
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 1: well we know you do. Yeah yeah I do. And

493
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: sometimes you have to pay for it afterwards. Okay, well,

494
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 1: don't worry about someone else's money. Let him worry about

495
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: talking about the money so much. But you mentioned it earlier. Okay,

496
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: the money, that's his money. That's fine. We'll see what

497
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: happens when he gets horse caller down to the ground

498
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: and there's no call and he's looking up at the

499
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: reff and he's you know, the reff comes back and says,

500
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: if hoo, no there. I mean, there's no doubt, there's

501
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: no doubt whatsoever that there was a better way of

502
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: handling it. But like, that's that's him, that's DeMarcus man,

503
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: He's he is a Jason Garrett has done such a job.

504
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: It's such a great job of making the Cowboys locker

505
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: room as boring as possible. Like I give him a

506
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: lot of credit for that. These guys, well, I mean,

507
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: I knew he wasn't going to give me a good answer,

508
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: but I asked Dak if he got any satisfaction out

509
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: of sweeping the Giant since they swept him last year,

510
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: and like his answer was so predictably boring because he's

511
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: a smart guy, and it's so in a room full

512
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: of people that know how to give smart, boring answers.

513
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 1: I cherish DeMarcus Lawrence because he's gonna tell you exactly

514
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 1: what he thinks about whatever you're asking him about I

515
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: love him. Okay, well, DeMarcus, he's just a fun guy.

516
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: Like you said, he the fun guy in the locker room.

517
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 1: Not everyone's like that in there, so it makes our

518
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: work a little more enjoyable. I agree. All right, let's

519
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: talk about Dan Bailey and correct me if I'm wrong.

520
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: But this was the first time to ever miss an

521
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: extra point yep, he missed two field goals. Talk to

522
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: me about his performance. I mean, are you guys feeling

523
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,719
Speaker 1: to talk around this whole thing? Is? Is he healthy

524
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 1: enough to have been back? I don't. I don't know

525
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: who else might have talked to him yesterday. I didn't

526
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: see a lot. And if they did, I hope. I'm

527
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: talking about people on Twitter, assuming that I know. I know,

528
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: I'm talking about reporters that went up to him. I

529
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: don't know if anyone else did, and if they did,

530
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: I hope it wasn't as awkward as what I did.

531
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: And I really liked Dan a lot, And I asked him, Yeah,

532
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: I went to ask him if I could talk to

533
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: him a little bit. He kind of was looking at

534
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,959
Speaker 1: me like why, But that's the way it goes. As

535
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: I tried to explain to him that five field goals

536
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: you know too, missus misssect point doesn't matter. So I

537
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: talked to him a little bit and his answer was

538
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: the exact same. He said, it was a frustrating day.

539
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: And I asked about the wind elements and of that,

540
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: and he said it was a frustrating day. I asked

541
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: about the miss extra point. It was the was the

542
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 1: you know, it was everything right, the snap hold, everything

543
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 1: on that. He said, it was a frustrating day. And

544
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: then I asked him, I said, well, everyone's gonna or

545
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: kind of wondering about your health. This is your second

546
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 1: game back. Are you completely healthy? He said, it was

547
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: a frustrating day. So am I is this? I thought it?

548
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 1: Didn't he come back on Thanksgiving? I thought this was

549
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 1: his third game back, third game bag which so I

550
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 1: have a hard time believing he's not healthy, Like he's

551
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: looked fine up until this point. His his kickoffs were Okay,

552
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: you're right. The Thanksgiving game he was on the field

553
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: once for a kickoff and that right, Okay, he never

554
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: got on that. Oh that's right, they did. They did

555
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: carry two kickers that day. Yeah, no I didn't. He

556
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: just wasn't active, right, But but but because they didn't

557
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: score any points and didn't go for two, or they

558
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: went for two. He only had to kick off and

559
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: that was the only thing. So you're right, you're right.

560
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 1: This was his third game, bag um. But I talked

561
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: to one of the athletic trainers after the game and

562
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: he said, he's gonna be fine. He's fine. Let's not

563
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: forget it was two fifty yard field goals, no the

564
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: and that's I have a hard time believe. I'm not

565
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: I'm not going to assume he's not healthy, Like he

566
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: had a bad day in a tough place to kick,

567
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: and the extra point is the thing that makes me

568
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,239
Speaker 1: go like that makes me double take, like missing a

569
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: fifty four yard or that had the distance and hit

570
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: the crossbar and then missing from fifty Like sure, you're

571
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: very used to seeing those things from Danna see that

572
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: that kick, I mean it knuckled and went you know,

573
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: left right. I mean that that's like a screwball pitcher.

574
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: That's a crappy place to kick, Like it's windy, the

575
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: weather ain't great. That's that's my point, Like, I'm not

576
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 1: going to hold those two field goals against him, even

577
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 1: though I am used to seeing him make them. The

578
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: extra point is the thing that makes me, Like I said,

579
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: that's the one that I'm like, whoa, that's his first

580
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: missed extra point in seven years. Like, I think he's

581
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: now two hundred and seventy four for two hundred and

582
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: seventy five or something like that. Ye, that's he's so

583
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: his career percentage now drops to ninety nine point six percent. Yeah,

584
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,199
Speaker 1: I think something like that. Um, well, he was the

585
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: most accurate kicker of all time. I don't know if

586
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: he still is. I know him and justin Tucker or

587
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: like back and forth, I don't know. Right up there,

588
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: it arguably his worst day at the office ever, which

589
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 1: is saying a lot. So Um, I chalk it up

590
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: to a bad day in bad conditions. Yeah, And everyone

591
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: has their bad days, and it's just really unusual to

592
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: see that from Dan Bailey because he usually pleases everyone

593
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 1: and makes and thus his job ride. But do you

594
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: guys feel that this is something to be concerned about

595
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: moving forward or just it was as simple as just

596
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: having a bad day. Um, I don't know about being concerned.

597
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,479
Speaker 1: I think we're going to watch it a little bit

598
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: closer and see. I don't think you're at the concern

599
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: level yet. But I think you know, first you see

600
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: one sign of of you know, well you had the injury,

601
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: and then that you see you're seeing things that you

602
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: have I haven't seen before. Like you said, the miss

603
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: extra point, not the two miss field goals, but the

604
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: miss extra point. And I even said it in the

605
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: press box before the kick. I would not attempt this

606
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: field goal, the one that banged off the upbraid. I

607
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't do it. Not, not the way the Giants were

608
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: not really moving the ball in a game of field

609
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: position like this. Yeah, I think I think they do

610
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: that way too much. He's a great kicker and you know,

611
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: and they give him a lot of confidence. But sometimes

612
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: you know, the fifty two yard field goal or fifty

613
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: four the balls on the forty four yard line, I mean,

614
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: and then that's where they get it. I just i'd punt.

615
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: You got a great punter, he knows how to get

616
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:34,959
Speaker 1: them down to the ten yard line or less. Just

617
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: use that weapon. That's the well, that's the flip side

618
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: is Dan Bailey has been so good for so many

619
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: years that once you get to about the fifty five

620
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: yard range, you feel pretty good about sending him out there.

621
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: But you get kind of spoiled by that to the

622
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: point where maybe you're you're attempting kicks that most teams

623
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: wouldn't expect. I mean, if you're at and T Stadium,

624
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: kick away but cold when I mean it was the

625
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: weather sucked there yesterday, Like I mean, it wasn't training

626
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: or anything, but it was not The conditions were not

627
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: great for stuff like that. So concerned, No, it's I mean, yeah,

628
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: it's I'm not gonna get up to get more water

629
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: when he's lining up for his next field goal, Like

630
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: I'm not just going to assume it's an automatic. But

631
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: a little early for me to be concerned about him.

632
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: And based on everything that we got to watch on

633
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: yesterday's game, I mean, do you guys feel that the

634
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: Cowboys are doing what they need to do in order

635
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: to get the upcoming victories against the games that are

636
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: coming up game wise from what you saw, I mean,

637
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: with the exception of the fourth quarter, because we really

638
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: never get to see something like that. They really never

639
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: get to score that many point in that little amount

640
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: of time. Yeah, I mean, I think I know what

641
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: you're saying. I mean, if they're gonna if they're gonna

642
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: play like that, I mean, they got the Raiders coming

643
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: up here. We've said it several times. I think that

644
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: this is the game. I mean, this is the one

645
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: where you know that we'll see I don't want to

646
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: say we'll see what they're made up, but we'll see

647
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: if this season's got anything to it, because you know,

648
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: with the you lose three games in a row without

649
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: Zeke and you don't have Sean Lee, and then Sean's

650
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,959
Speaker 1: just coming back, and now they're starting to win an

651
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,239
Speaker 1: Alfred Morrises and the running game is starting to come on.

652
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: You can get this game up in Oakland. You get

653
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: to eight and six, you got Zeke coming back for

654
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: the last two, you know, and you got that last

655
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: game against Philly, which they they have wrapped up the division.

656
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: They're still gonna be playing for some other stuff. But

657
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: they don't have their quarterback. You know, that's something that

658
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: or they we don't think they're gonna have their quarterback

659
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: is the Officially he's getting an MRI today and they're

660
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: they're not hopeful. But okay, I've I've been to that

661
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: stadium in LA and I've I've been to that walk

662
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: up there. Yeah, when I get a cart for a

663
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: guy with the Torney cl Yeah, the franchise quarterback. They's

664
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: got a knee injury and we're gonna make him walk

665
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: up the ramp doesn't seem doesn't seem smart to me,

666
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: but good point. Yeah, no, for sure, that sucks. But

667
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: but you know, I'm sorry to cut you up. You're like, oh,

668
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: Wins is out? Oh okay, Well who's Nick Foles? The

669
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: guy went thirteen three a few years ago and went

670
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: to the Pro Bowl. I go through like twenty five

671
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 1: touchdowns and two picks or whatever. Okay, they're gonna be fine. Maybe,

672
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: I mean it'll be offense. Their offense didn't look great

673
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: after they WENTZ went out. I did. I mean, I

674
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: don't know. I know, like they're the Eagles and their

675
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: division rival, and it would you know, it would be

676
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: good for the Cowboys, I guess in some degree. But

677
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: that just takes even more or luster off of what

678
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: already has been a very mediocre season for me. Like

679
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: every every great player, an interesting team is just been

680
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: screwed over one way or another. I mean, the Cowboys

681
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: haven't had Zeke, the Packers haven't had Rogers, the Giants

682
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: haven't had Odell Beckham. The Eagles now are looking like

683
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna finish one of their best years in recent

684
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: memory without their MVP caliber quarterback. And you know, I

685
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: know nobody listening to this has any love for the Eagles,

686
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: but like it just it just takes away from the

687
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: fun of the product. Like you want to watch the

688
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: best players play, and it's just been a crappy year

689
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: for that in my opinion. Well it's about to change.

690
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: Well yet, I mean, Rogers is coming back, It gets

691
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: coming back maybe the end of this season. I mean,

692
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: it's gonna get really really exciting for all these teams.

693
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: This three weeks looks like it's gonna be I mean

694
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: for the sake of drama, not just you know, the

695
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: you know, the Cowboys and our jobs and everything else.

696
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: But if they can get this win against Oakland, it's

697
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: gonna set up a fascinating end of the season. Yeah.

698
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,479
Speaker 1: And I know everyone keeps looking at the standings and

699
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: you know, they don't get they're not getting as much

700
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: help as as they need that There's been a few

701
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: games here and there they could have been nice that

702
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: they you know, but all not to sound like Garrett

703
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: too much, but all they can do is just win,

704
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: just keep winning. If you can beat Oakland, you can

705
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 1: beat Seattle. But you go up to Philly and win.

706
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: You put yourself at ten and six, it's the best

707
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: you can do. I still feel like, somehow, some way,

708
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: if you get to ten and six, would you win

709
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: five straight games. I think it's gonna work out for him,

710
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: I really do. There's enough, I mean, there's enough stuff

711
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: that has to happen that makes that sound plausible. I mean,

712
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: the NFC South still has to play a ton of

713
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: games against each others, NFC North still has to play

714
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 1: a ton of games against each other. The Seahawks play

715
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: the Rams on Sunday. Just don't forget about the three

716
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,439
Speaker 1: way ties. Just don't forget about that. Don't just look

717
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 1: at Atlanta and oh my god, if we're not above Atlanta,

718
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 1: you can't get there. Just just remember there's if you're

719
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: tied with Atlanta and someone else, you could be in

720
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 1: good shape. So the finally, like it's so it's amazing

721
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: the margin for error in the NFL. Like you think,

722
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you think back for the Cowboys, You're like,

723
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: they can hold on to an eleven point win against

724
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: the Rams, or an eleven point lead against the Rams.

725
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: This is all probably moot or even I was texting

726
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: with my friend about that yesterday. I was like, if

727
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: the Browns can hold on to a fourteen point lead

728
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter against the Packers who don't have

729
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, you know, maybe that changes this whole sea

730
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: reason for you. Like that just Brett Hundley, Brett Hundley's

731
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: ability to lead the Packers back to a win against

732
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 1: Cleveland in the fourth quarter in overtime. Like, I mean,

733
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: it's a stretch, but it theoretically could be the difference

734
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 1: between the Packers getting to the super Bowl or not,

735
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: because I mean, once Aaron Rodgers comes back, who the

736
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: hell knows what they can do? It's through it's wild man, Okay,

737
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 1: And so let's talk about these rookies I got to

738
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: play in the secondary. Did you guys, what did you

739
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,359
Speaker 1: guys think about their performance? Well, again, you know, they're

740
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: not having to go up against elite, elite receivers, but

741
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: they did a nice job. You know, with Eli Manning,

742
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: he wants to get the ball out quick, that's what

743
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: he does. So the main thing is when you have

744
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: to do that, you either throw these little short routes

745
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:44,919
Speaker 1: and they got to go up and make the play.

746
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: I thought they had competed very well. I thought Jordan

747
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,919
Speaker 1: Lewis had a nice game. They did some rotating there

748
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: with with Cheeto and Anthony Brown. I thought Cheetah was

749
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: on the sideline a little more than I expected. But

750
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 1: when he I mean it wasn't anything injury wise, because

751
00:35:58,400 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: he was back out there at the end and he

752
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: made it nice play on the ball. Well, Cheeto and

753
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: Sean both, I know people were asking about that. That

754
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: is apparently a plan just to keep both of them fresh.

755
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 1: Like Sean Lee took a series off in the third quarter,

756
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: Cheeto took a series, rotated a series or two. I

757
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 1: think that's These are guys who've been dealing with injuries.

758
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: You just don't want to make him play, especially giants

759
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 1: were in seventy five plays. You probably don't want them

760
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,879
Speaker 1: doing that right off the bat, so especially Sean which

761
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 1: is why they did that. You know, after watching that game,

762
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, cut, no wonder Sean Lee gets hurt all

763
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: the time. I mean, he's out there making all kinds

764
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 1: of tackles and that has to wear off on you.

765
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 1: And I asked him about that yesterday, asked him if

766
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,760
Speaker 1: he feels that that is the case. And of course

767
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 1: his answers are always very right, politically right, and just

768
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: like you know, doesn't matter the injury, I'm gonna be

769
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 1: out there. They didn't really answer the question, but just

770
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: you know, it's amazing to see him playing the Marcus

771
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: Lauren is over here, like on a scale at one

772
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: to ten, he's like a ten out of interesting. And

773
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: Sean Lee's like he's he's way yeah, he might be

774
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: a Yeah, you can't really get so game balls if

775
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 1: you had to give it a game ball and you

776
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: don't get Rod Smith and you don't get Shaun Lee

777
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: and you don't get that, just we just can't have him. No,

778
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,320
Speaker 1: all right, they already they already get like a special

779
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 1: kind of game ball, all right. I don't get Desmond.

780
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: You haven't mentioned his uh long play much. That's Bryant,

781
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: Desmond demand Bryant. You're just saying that because y'all have

782
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 1: the same birthday. No, and it's awesome play. I haven't

783
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: seen him make a play that long, and and yours

784
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: maybe can't. I've seen we did talk about earlier, but

785
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: I let's see on the replay he was coming right

786
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: at you. I mean, oh yeah, is that a good

787
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: check out on Cowboys Twitter. Okay, the gift of it, Yeah, okay,

788
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: all right, if following your parameters, and I mean, you

789
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: know I got loved for des Kent, but following your parameters,

790
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 1: I'm definitely giving one to Beasley because I think his

791
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,479
Speaker 1: fifty four yard game really like, I mean, that set

792
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: the pay like that was. I don't want to go

793
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: as far as to say it decided the game, but

794
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: it kind of. It got the snowball rolling. I mean,

795
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: they nice touchdown past to Jason Witton on the next play,

796
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,439
Speaker 1: then you've got a lead and and everything goes out

797
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 1: from there. So Beasley for sure, Um, I've got one

798
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: here probably if I can't have Sean lead and I'm

799
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 1: giving one to Anthony Hitching so he was just as

800
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,919
Speaker 1: good Fule. I mean early in the game, they get

801
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: that ball, they're already up three nothing. First play of

802
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 1: the game they forced a fumble and the balls is

803
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: rolling around out there and then everything. I wanted to

804
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: find a way to give one to Chris Jones because

805
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: I thought he had a really good day. But Jeff

806
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: Heath he had a really good game too, Okay, And

807
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 1: it was supposed to just take one oh sorry, all right, well,

808
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:52,240
Speaker 1: let's take our final break. Ten ten tackles, one for loss,

809
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,320
Speaker 1: one interception, one pass breakup, and a special teams tackle

810
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 1: that's easily all around, like all aspects of the game.

811
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: One of his best career. It was a game for him.

812
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: It was nice to see that. So anyways, let's take

Speaker 1: Mike Yo. Hello, what up? What's up? Hey? What's going on?

874
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: I Well, Ken told me to keep it short. The

875
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:39,280
Speaker 1: team that I love most of yesterday was within shake

876
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 1: move after callers got out and daknd him on the seam.

877
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: It feels like we haven't seen a steam route touchdown

878
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: or long play since, like Bryce Butler against the Lions

879
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: on Monday Night a year ago. So it was happy

880
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 1: to see that and that on Wit still has it

881
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: in him to get to get down field and to

882
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: Dak to find him was beautiful. Man. Thank you, guys,

883
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 1: stop playing. Thank you. That's I'm meant to bring that

884
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: up when we were kind of recapping the game at

885
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 1: the beginning like that, and I know Lannon Collins wasn't there.

886
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: I don't care. That was just a seem the seam

887
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: route for like a nice game or a scores like

888
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 1: my favorite playing football, like when you just like when

889
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 1: it because it's not it's not open, you know, like

890
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,399
Speaker 1: the routes not usually just wide open. You gotta throw

891
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 1: it just the right way, like you gotta get it

892
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 1: over the linebacker and under the safety. And it was

893
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: a really nice throw by Dak And you know, it

894
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 1: was Witten's only catch. I'm sure he appreciated that. I

895
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: loved it, and it was I mean, it seemed that

896
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 1: Jason Witten wasn't even playing. I mean he just disappeared

897
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: in the game and all of a sudden, you get

898
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: that catch and it was great. Yeah. He you know,

899
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 1: he had had that holding penalty and I think Fox

900
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:50,800
Speaker 1: had put it up there a couple of times. No

901
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 1: catches today for Jason Witten. He only has two catches

902
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,840
Speaker 1: the last two games, but there were both touchdowns. Fifteen

903
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 1: career touchdown against New York. Hey, don't forget about another

904
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: nice catch from a tight end James Hannah. Oh yeah,

905
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 1: nice play over the mill was one of the best catches. No,

906
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,800
Speaker 1: just kidding. He's been good in the run game, right, No,

907
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: he has, he has, that's not his role, but you

908
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,879
Speaker 1: know that, like he had a nice play and they

909
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: needed somebody to make to do something. There we have

910
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 1: like those cliche talking points about all of the players

911
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: who don't get involved that much, Like you're like James

912
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 1: Hannah's got better hands than he gets credit for. Like

913
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: Bryce Butler's got long stride speed like all that. But

914
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 1: every time James Hannah has an opportunity, he usually makes

915
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,800
Speaker 1: a nice play. Yeah, I mean, I think he averages

916
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,879
Speaker 1: about three catches per season, but they're usually I mean

917
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: that was I think that was his first catch since

918
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: he scored that touchdown against the Rams. Hey, you know,

919
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 1: we were talking about game balls and guys that did well.

920
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 1: This isn't really game ball worthy, but three special teams

921
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 1: tackles in one game is a lot Byron Jones. Got

922
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: to give him some credit. There three special teams plays.

923
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 1: I mean, that's one is good too, is really good.

924
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: But you don't you usually don't see three by one player.

925
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 1: So I was really new rule. I was really pumped

926
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: that my guy Taco had a quarterback pressure on it.

927
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 1: Like he made a nice play where he kind of

928
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: came unblocked and forced Eli to make a bad uh

929
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: and it was an incompletion. I think it brought up

930
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 1: fourth down or third down. But then I got home

931
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 1: last night and d J. Watt sacked Joe Flacco to

932
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 1: win the game. Yeah, yeah, it's just fine. He's just

933
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 1: gonna it's fine. Not gonna be able to live that one. No,

934
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: probably not. Speaking of the defensive line, do you guys

935
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 1: feel this is a question from Twitter. Do you guys

936
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 1: feel that the fact that David Irvin wasn't in the

937
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 1: line plane affected the way that they're performed? I think so.

938
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a it's a big drop off from

939
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: a side standpoint to go to Lewis Neal and all that,

940
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: and but yeah, I think it's a it's a tough

941
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: matchup for some of these offensive linemen, and the Giants

942
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,359
Speaker 1: have not faced They did not face David Irving all

943
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,839
Speaker 1: year because he wasn't there for that first game. So yeah,

944
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 1: I think he adds a lot in the middle. I'd

945
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:09,760
Speaker 1: like to see him back for this game. We'll see

946
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 1: you know. I saw him today. Yeah, he's eating breakfast.

947
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 1: It's it's hard for me to It's hard for me

948
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: to like kill the defensive line. The Giants ran for

949
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 1: three point five yards per carry. Their longest run of

950
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:24,359
Speaker 1: the day was thirteen, which Wayne Gallman is their best

951
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 1: running back. I don't like. I don't mean that as

952
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 1: a knock on Shane Vereen or Orleans Darkwa, but I

953
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 1: don't get why it's as much of a committee as

954
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,399
Speaker 1: it is for them. Almost like they in the second

955
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 1: half they're like, why aren't we giving the ball to

956
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 1: this guy? And then they came out and they did

957
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 1: big runs. He's a good player, but there long in

958
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 1: the day was thirteen, so it's not like they played terrible.

959
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 1: I don't think at least, yeah, like you give up

960
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:50,319
Speaker 1: some size, you certainly give up some pass rushability, and

961
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 1: I wonder how much of an impact that made on

962
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 1: you know, DeMarcus Lawrence and Tyrone Crawford. I felt like,

963
00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:00,959
Speaker 1: given how banged up this Giant's line is, I really

964
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 1: thought that they would get more pressure. And I know

965
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 1: Eli's whole mo is to get the ball out fast,

966
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 1: but still, I mean Chad Wheeler, who's playing right tackle

967
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 1: for Justin Pugh, I mean he got he was a turnstyle.

968
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 1: He's been at turnstyle for weeks, like Khalil Mack and

969
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:19,839
Speaker 1: Ryan Carrigan just demolished him. And I really I thought

970
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 1: we'd see a little bit more of that and I

971
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 1: wonder if not having irv irving there like allowed them

972
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 1: to kind of focus more on Lawrence and some of

973
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 1: the other guys. Maybe that's why. Okay, guys, we do

974
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 1: have another caller, Mike in La another Mike. Hi. How

975
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 1: are you doing? Hey, how are you Mike? Good? Thank you?

976
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 1: Just wondering on the Giants first drive, the second fumble

977
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 1: when they got across the first down marker and fumbled

978
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 1: it backward. I was just trying to understand why that

979
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 1: was a first down. Well thanks, A lot of people

980
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,879
Speaker 1: have been talking about this. I did not record the game,

981
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 1: and I'm mad about it, so I would have gone

982
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 1: back to watch that when it does make the highlight tape.

983
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 1: I would like to see that one again because it

984
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 1: got a lot of buzz in the in the press

985
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:06,880
Speaker 1: box there. I need I need to see it again too.

986
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 1: I apologize for not having watched it over again yet.

987
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 1: But the thing that I was told, so he catches it,

988
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 1: the fumble is forced. Um. They they ruled that what

989
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:21,439
Speaker 1: it was forward progress was stopped and and they take

990
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 1: over where they where the fumble happened instead of where

991
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 1: it was recovered. Like, you can't challenge that that's what

992
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 1: I was told, and that's why you know that. That

993
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 1: is like the that is like the refs like get

994
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,800
Speaker 1: out of jail free card, just the just the forward

995
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: progress is stopped, which which is the worst. I hate

996
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:44,840
Speaker 1: that rule because it is so it is so tailored

997
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 1: to the offense. Because yeah, because when whenever they decide

998
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,720
Speaker 1: that the play is over, because the defense starts pushing

999
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 1: them back, well that's forward progress. But for some reason,

1000
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 1: every offensive lineman could come from the other side and

1001
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:58,320
Speaker 1: just push you even though your forward progress has been stopped.

1002
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 1: If you got four hundred pound lineman that could just

1003
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 1: push you into the end zone, then then forward progresses

1004
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: back on again. Like I don't get that. And not

1005
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 1: only that, but in a world where replay can fix

1006
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 1: almost anything, in a world replay can fix anything, kind

1007
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 1: of really good. When replay can fix almost any call

1008
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 1: you make, Like Lee, I always lean toward waiting to

1009
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 1: blow the play dead. And I know you gotta worry

1010
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: about injuries and look out for guys health and stuff

1011
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 1: like that, but you can correct a lot of this

1012
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: stuff by just letting it go on, and then you

1013
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 1: can fix it later if you're wrong. Okay, that's a

1014
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,800
Speaker 1: good point. Here's here's another problem I have with replay

1015
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:39,840
Speaker 1: is that I think that happens a lot in college

1016
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 1: football too, where they say, you know, if we think

1017
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 1: it's a fumble, then his arm was moving forward, just

1018
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 1: rule it a fumble. We'll clean it up later. Or

1019
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 1: if we think it you know whatever, just call it

1020
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 1: a touchdown or call it a turnover. We'll fix it

1021
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 1: and replay. But then the problem is is when they

1022
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,320
Speaker 1: get under the hood and they look at it, everyone says, well,

1023
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 1: the call on the field was this, so it's gotta

1024
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 1: be you gotta have you know, yeah, sure evidence that

1025
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,359
Speaker 1: to overturn it. And I'm like, well, that's not really

1026
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 1: the case because we're just kind of letting it go

1027
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:07,439
Speaker 1: because we want to clean it up. So why don't

1028
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 1: we just getting under the hood and just say, I

1029
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 1: don't care what the call was, what is it? Okay?

1030
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? I wish they did that

1031
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 1: more because they're letting these players just go because they

1032
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:18,960
Speaker 1: think replay can catch it. I get what you mean,

1033
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 1: but as far as I understand it, Jason Garrett could

1034
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:24,360
Speaker 1: not have challenged that play if you wanted to do

1035
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 1: as they say. You know, people just want to be mad.

1036
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:29,839
Speaker 1: And I mean, you're at the you're in the first

1037
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: quarter of a game between disappointing teams, and people want

1038
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 1: to be mad about something. But because you're already mad

1039
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 1: because you have first and goal in the four and

1040
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: you didn't score. Right, But there wasn't a whole lot

1041
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:43,800
Speaker 1: they could have done in that situation, just a bad

1042
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 1: I'd tell you what that. I didn't like the play

1043
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:48,760
Speaker 1: calling there though, going back a little bit, first possession,

1044
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 1: person goal in the four, get one yard run, second

1045
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:53,880
Speaker 1: and three you forced the ball into Terrence Williams. Then

1046
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 1: third and three you forced the ball into Terrence Williams.

1047
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:01,879
Speaker 1: It's uh. The Ravens the Evens did something similar last

1048
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,239
Speaker 1: night where they had a chance to really try to

1049
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:07,360
Speaker 1: ice the game and they ran, you know, Alex collins

1050
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,959
Speaker 1: your guys just killing Pittsburgh and they threw the ball

1051
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 1: twice and Chris Collinsworth is like, well, you see here,

1052
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 1: this third down plays an RPO. It's a run pass option.

1053
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, why don't I don't care what stop with

1054
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:23,800
Speaker 1: the RPO? Run the ball and I like, Scott Linahan's

1055
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 1: gonna tell me that. It's like, it's not that simple,

1056
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 1: and there's not a lot of space down in the

1057
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 1: red zone. I don't buy it. Make them prove that

1058
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 1: they can stop you. That needs to be a run

1059
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:37,360
Speaker 1: pass option with Dak. Give him the opportunity. Don't stand

1060
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 1: there now. They did make him throw more from the pocket.

1061
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 1: But I just Terrence Williams is a guy that over

1062
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 1: the years, he hasn't really been that you know, contested

1063
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 1: catch like me versus you, and I'm coming down with it,

1064
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 1: I mean not always, and especially down there at the

1065
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:56,399
Speaker 1: red zone. I just think there's death. There's different options there.

1066
00:51:56,560 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 1: You have first and goal at the like this. I'm sorry. Yeah,

1067
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:02,879
Speaker 1: you can tell me that this is elementary and I'm dumb,

1068
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 1: but you have second and three at the three. If

1069
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 1: you run twice, even if you don't score, you're the

1070
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:16,239
Speaker 1: worst case scenario. The absolute worst case scenario is that

1071
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 1: you're going to turn the ball over on downs at

1072
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:21,880
Speaker 1: the one yard line against an absolutely crap offense. I agree,

1073
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 1: second and second down is the play because if you

1074
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 1: can run to get to the two, then third down

1075
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:28,759
Speaker 1: you can run to get to the one, and then

1076
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 1: you go on fourth down. And I know you said

1077
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: on Twitter you're going four on fourth down. And I agree,

1078
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 1: let's go. Let's get the touchdown against this team the

1079
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 1: way this season's gone. Knowing that, yeah, like to your point,

1080
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:41,239
Speaker 1: you want to weather the first quarter and like really

1081
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: build some momentum to start. I just obviously it didn't

1082
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:46,799
Speaker 1: come back to bite them, but I would have done

1083
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 1: it very different. This is so this kind of answers

1084
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:51,520
Speaker 1: your question. I think from the previous segment or earlier,

1085
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:55,799
Speaker 1: this segment about moving forward now and playing a better team,

1086
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:57,840
Speaker 1: then you're gonna play better teams than this. Again, the

1087
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:00,240
Speaker 1: Cowboys have not beaten a team with a winning record,

1088
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:03,720
Speaker 1: and they will have to face two though with because

1089
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:08,799
Speaker 1: Seattle's eight and six, Seattle's eight and five, so they

1090
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:11,319
Speaker 1: definitely will have a winning record when they face them,

1091
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 1: and of course the Eagles will as well. So my

1092
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 1: point is you gonna face some good teams. To the

1093
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:17,839
Speaker 1: Raiders loss to go down to six and seven, but

1094
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 1: they're much better a team than this, especially at home.

1095
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:23,279
Speaker 1: So you know, some of the way the Cowboys played

1096
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:25,319
Speaker 1: in those first three quarters probably not going to be

1097
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 1: good enough here to get it done. Just to see

1098
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:29,640
Speaker 1: what the Raiders receivers look like. I know they did

1099
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:32,760
Speaker 1: suffer an injury at receiver. I missed that. I believe

1100
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper went I know he went down, but I

1101
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 1: don't know if he's out for I don't think he

1102
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 1: returned to the game. He got blocking downfield and got

1103
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 1: kind of rolled up on. I don't know what his

1104
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,719
Speaker 1: status is. That's a great point, and I'm sure there's

1105
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:49,839
Speaker 1: like an angry Cowboys fan out there who is apoplectic

1106
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:52,239
Speaker 1: about how nice we've been about this game because it,

1107
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:57,240
Speaker 1: I mean this seventy five percent of this performance probably

1108
00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 1: wasn't good enough to win against their next three opponents.

1109
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 1: Had to guess they had a really good fourth quarter.

1110
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:05,880
Speaker 1: But it's gonna need I mean, you know, the defense.

1111
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:08,399
Speaker 1: Sean Lee said it after the game. The defense didn't

1112
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:10,800
Speaker 1: play where to the level they wanted to to start.

1113
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 1: I mean the Giants had a seventeen play drive to

1114
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:16,799
Speaker 1: open this game. Uh That's yeah, that's all gonna need

1115
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 1: to be. There's no beast mode running back for the Giants.

1116
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:23,280
Speaker 1: There's no nothing for the Giants. I mean Eli Manning,

1117
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:26,959
Speaker 1: I you know, people have been nice to him because

1118
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 1: he got benched, and I get that, but like he

1119
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 1: missed Rhett Ellison on a wide open play down the

1120
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:33,799
Speaker 1: seam that could have been. That could have been bad

1121
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 1: news for the Cowboys, like he hasn't had a good

1122
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: year and he has no help whatsoever. And I know

1123
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 1: that the Raiders have had arguably a more disappointing season

1124
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 1: than the Cowboys have, but they they have better talent

1125
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:48,279
Speaker 1: around them than the Giants do. That's okay, guys, Well

1126
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 1: let's take our final call. Jordan in Maryland. Helly, how's

1127
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 1: it going, hey, George Journey? Um, okay, So I was

1128
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:05,800
Speaker 1: just the esp In playoff predicted today that if um,

1129
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 1: if we were to finish ten and six with Carolina,

1130
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 1: we would actually get that sixth seed over Carolina. So um.

1131
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I'd probably rather have the Falcons lose and

1132
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:20,840
Speaker 1: finish nine and seven. But after after the win yesterday,

1133
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:22,319
Speaker 1: I just wanted to ask you, guys, how do you

1134
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 1: feel about our playoff chances? And I'll hang up and listening.

1135
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:29,399
Speaker 1: I just have this feeling that if you go ten

1136
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 1: and six, you're gonna get in. I just that's what

1137
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:34,400
Speaker 1: I think. Now. Losing to the Chargers and the Broncos

1138
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:39,920
Speaker 1: is going to help you playoff in this uh, coach Mora, Yes, um,

1139
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:44,320
Speaker 1: they're still in the hunt, but I think that because

1140
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 1: if if you have to go ten and six, so

1141
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:48,440
Speaker 1: you have to just keep winning, and that's going to

1142
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 1: be the hard part. It is just showing this kind

1143
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:52,719
Speaker 1: of consistency all year to beat the Raiders, to beat

1144
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:56,360
Speaker 1: the Eagles, to beat the Seahawks. Um, but that happens,

1145
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 1: You're going to be eight and four in the in

1146
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:02,359
Speaker 1: the conference, and I think that'll get you. That will

1147
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:04,279
Speaker 1: help because if you get into a tie or maybe

1148
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:06,840
Speaker 1: even a three way tie, you know, an eight and

1149
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 1: four record in the conference will help you. Am I

1150
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 1: doing my math right there? It's gotta be twelve games

1151
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:13,839
Speaker 1: you play four in the West, and yeah, you gotta

1152
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 1: beat the you gotta beat Oakland, so you know, so

1153
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:19,360
Speaker 1: that doesn't matter. But you're losing those two games. Yeah, Actually,

1154
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 1: that's a great point, and that's I guess My main

1155
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 1: thing is I don't think this team is good enough

1156
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:28,799
Speaker 1: to win the next three games in a row, two

1157
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 1: on the road. The nicest part about that is they're

1158
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:34,319
Speaker 1: only gonna be this team for one more game. They

1159
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 1: get Zeke back against Seattle and Philly and then I mean,

1160
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:39,560
Speaker 1: there's no talent what they could do. They looked pretty

1161
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:41,960
Speaker 1: damn good. I know, he'll have been gone for six weeks,

1162
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:45,000
Speaker 1: but there's at least reason for optimism that they can

1163
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 1: play at the level we saw with him back. So, like,

1164
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 1: you know, I kept saying, it's a two game season.

1165
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:53,640
Speaker 1: Now it's a one game season. You go to Oakland

1166
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:55,880
Speaker 1: if you can get a win there. You know, we

1167
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:58,240
Speaker 1: mentioned it at the top of the show. The Vikings

1168
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:00,120
Speaker 1: still have to play the Packers. The Packers still to

1169
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:02,080
Speaker 1: play the Lions. The Falcons are playing the Saints and

1170
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 1: the Panthers. The Panthers are playing the Packers, like the

1171
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 1: Seahawks are playing the Rams. I don't know for sure

1172
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:09,759
Speaker 1: that it'll all break the way the Cowboys needed to

1173
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 1: five three eight. The ESPN company gives them a four

1174
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 1: percent chance as it stands right now. That's not great,

1175
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 1: but there's enough stuff going on to give me optimism

1176
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 1: that it can happen. Um And so they just, you know,

1177
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 1: they got to find a way to win this game,

1178
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:27,920
Speaker 1: and then I think all bets are off. I think

1179
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 1: all bets are off if they can beat the Raiders.

1180
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if they can. I haven't looked at

1181
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 1: the Raiders yet, but if they can do that, they

1182
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 1: get Zeke back and it's anybody's game. Well, I'll definitely

1183
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 1: be interesting. You know who's not coming back though yet?

1184
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 1: No Deerk damn yeah tomorrow but a week. But we

1185
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 1: will be back tomorrow live from as WBC Mortgage Studio.

1186
00:57:55,120 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 1: This was the Cowboys Break Oh nice. This has been

1187
