Speaker 4: December in twenty twenty three. It is now twenty twenty four.

16
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,199
Speaker 4: Happy last year, everybody. It's been a long time coming

17
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 4: to finally talk about one of the wildest finishes in

18
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 4: recent memory for the Dallas Cowboys as they take down

19
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 4: the Detroit Lions in week seventeen, alongside John Machoda, Nick Harris,

20
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 4: Chris Beam in the back of Kyle Yeomans. Wow, I

21
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 4: feel like it's been forever since we've gotten a chance

22
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 4: to talk about this on Sunday night or Saturday night.

23
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 4: Rather you get a whole new start to the year,

24
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 4: you get a couple days in between.

25
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 5: But then you look right back at how.

26
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 4: That game concluded on Saturday night and it's still as

27
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 4: wild as it was whenever it happened. I mean, the

28
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 4: scenario at the end, with the two point conversions, the

29
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 4: penalty markers, the final drive. I mean, there are so

30
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 4: many talking points with this, but Nick Harris, I'll let

31
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 4: you start.

32
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 5: What are your talking points? As the Cowboys get it done?

33
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, one of the more wilder wins for sure. I

34
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 7: think those last two and a half minutes. You know,

35
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 7: you really you looked at an opportunit unity for Detroit

36
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 7: to go down the field and win the game when

37
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 7: it was seventeen thirteen, and it was almost mirrored as

38
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 7: to what they had to face in Miami a week ago. Obviously,

39
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 7: they let Miami drive down the field and have that

40
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 7: game winning field goal. Then Donovan Wilson gets the interception.

41
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 7: You're like, okay, this team is They're going to seal it.

42
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 7: Defense got it done. It felt similar to the Chargers

43
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 7: win from earlier in the season when Stefan Gilmore was

44
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 7: able to get an interception and kind of seal it there,

45
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 7: and then they passed on second down and the tripping penalty,

46
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 7: which you know, we later find out is not a

47
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 7: tripping penalty, but it gets called and it moves the

48
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 7: Cowboys out of field goal range and they have to punt,

49
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 7: and then you're looking at I believe it was what

50
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 7: a minute forty one that the Detroit Lions had to

51
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 7: drive down the field and potentially win the game or

52
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 7: tie it up. But you knew, and I tweeted out

53
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 7: as the drive was going on, you knew that Dan

54
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 7: Campbell was going to drive down there and if they scored,

55
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 7: he was going to go for two. The way he

56
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 7: had been playing the game all night, going forward on

57
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 7: fourth downs, the fake punt, he was going to go

58
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 7: for two in that situation eleven times out of ten,

59
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 7: and we saw that he at least went for three

60
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 7: out of three. So yeah, and then that two point

61
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 7: sequence was definitely wild. I got to credit the defense

62
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 7: for just being able to, you know, stand in on

63
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 7: all three of those intent attempts, keep the intensity on

64
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 7: all three of those attempts, and you know what the

65
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 7: ineligible eligible receiver reporting. Gosh, I've learned so much on

66
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 7: that topic in the last three days that I never

67
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 7: cared to learn before today or these last three days.

68
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 7: So definitely interesting, but hey, a win is a win,

69
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 7: and then Philadelphia losing. Everything's in front of this team

70
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 7: for the first time and this season it feels.

71
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 8: Like, yeah, wild couple of twenty four hours or so

72
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 8: whatever it was between those two games.

73
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: But yeah, right before we started doing the show, right here,

74
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: we were just talking about.

75
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 8: Like Dan Campbell's decision to keep going for it even

76
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 8: after the penalty is what magnifies everything. If they just

77
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 8: don't get it, they call the ineligible receiver, you get

78
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 8: moved back to the seven, you just kick the extra point,

79
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 8: you go to overtime. And yeah, it's a talking point,

80
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 8: but it isn't like, well, the whole game was there. Now,

81
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 8: the whole game was there because you kept going for

82
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 8: it over and over again on two point conversions, like

83
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 8: you were some upstart, brand new college football program trying

84
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 8: to upset Alabama and Tuscaloosa, like you're the Detroit Lions,

85
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 8: like you're one of the best teams in the NFL.

86
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 8: Just go to the overtime, you know, Like, I don't

87
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 8: understand the their thought process on that. But that's not

88
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 8: the that's not the Cowboys fault. They just needed to

89
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 8: win the game and they found a way to win

90
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 8: the game again at home.

91
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: And that's the thing.

92
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 8: Like we talk about this game, the Seattle game, you

93
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 8: talk about the blowouts that they've had at home. It

94
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 8: just continues to magnify how good that this team is

95
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 8: and how much better their chances are of winning the

96
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 8: playoffs when they play at home. So the next day

97
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 8: you're watching that game between the Eagles and the Cardinals

98
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 8: and you're just like, man, the Cardinals are hanging around

99
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 8: like the man, that would be crazy.

100
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: They're not going to win this game.

101
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 8: They're not gonna beat the Eagles, but man, that would

102
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 8: be wild because then all of a sudden, man, the

103
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 8: Cowboys have a chance to win the division on their

104
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 8: own by just by winning in Washington. And now if

105
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 8: they just beat the Lines, they'd get the two seed. Wow,

106
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 8: that would be crazy. And then all of a sudden,

107
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 8: the Cardinals pull it off, and you're just like, how

108
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 8: did this? How did this happen? Like how did everything

109
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 8: kind of start falling in place? And I think it

110
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 8: the only thing you can point to is just that

111
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 8: maybe that Jenks being lifted.

112
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 4: I knew that was coming, and it felt like it

113
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 4: was a lead up to it, build it was a

114
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 4: great moment though, I mean, on a serious note, with

115
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 4: Jimmy Johnson going in, I mean and the mic drop

116
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 4: at the end, how about them Cowboys and getting to

117
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 4: see all the faces of the different players that he

118
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 4: impacted throughout.

119
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 5: I mean, we were very close with.

120
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 4: Nate Newton in the building and seeing him get to

121
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 4: interact with his former teammates and things like that. Because

122
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 4: of that honor going upon Jimmy Johnson was a really

123
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 4: really cool day I've seen.

124
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 5: I've seen some of those tweets come in.

125
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 4: I'm sure you have to, and I'm sure Nick has

126
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 4: as well, where it's like, wow, maybe maybe finally you

127
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 4: catch a break, you finally catch a team of destiny break,

128
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 4: and it happens to be of the day that Jimmy

129
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 4: Johnson goes into the Ring of Honor. But it was

130
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 4: one of those games that it goes back to Miami,

131
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 4: it goes back to Philadelphia. One play can help you

132
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 4: win a game and one play can help you lose

133
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 4: a game, depending on how it bounces. Dallas lost that

134
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 4: first Philadelphia game of a couple bounces going against them.

135
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 4: Dallas lost against Miami because of a couple of bounces

136
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 4: or a couple of plays going against them.

137
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 5: Some are their fault, some are not their fault.

138
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 4: And this was one of those games where it felt

139
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 4: like it was teetering on the brink of that again,

140
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 4: and it ended up being that way, and you made

141
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 4: the plays at the end to get it done. I

142
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 4: want to go back to something that you said, John

143
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 4: about the two point conversion scenario. Though you go for it,

144
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 4: you pull out the best play in your playbook, and

145
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 4: the man is called as not an eligible receiver, an

146
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 4: eligible man downfield because seventy checked in, they had one

147
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 4: guy check in. Sixty eight was the one that caught

148
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 4: the ball. Taylor Decker was the one that caught the ball.

149
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 4: At that point, you mentioned that going forward again put

150
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 4: the game on the line, and that was Dan Campbell's choice.

151
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 5: Why was that the wrong choice?

152
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 4: I mean, I know you end up hide in Sight

153
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 4: twenty twenty, but at that point in the game you're

154
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 4: looking at it and say, wow, we pulled all the

155
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 4: stops out and now we're seven yards back.

156
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 5: Why not just kick the extra point there?

157
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 8: Because I think to your point, he went in thinking

158
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 8: we get down there and score, we're going for two,

159
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 8: which and I get he's probably the most aggressive coach

160
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 8: this year in those situations. And that's fine, But when

161
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 8: you get pushed back to the seven, things change when

162
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 8: you're at When when you're at the two, you're for

163
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 8: this lion, that Lion's team, for the b At the

164
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 8: two or three yard line, the running games completely in

165
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 8: play with how good they're. They're not running it from

166
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 8: the seven yard line, so you know they're gonna throw.

167
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 8: So really, if you watch the way that this team's played,

168
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 8: especially down in the red zone like that, you're really

169
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 8: trying to take away Sam Laporta and make them do

170
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 8: something else, like on the last try they threw it

171
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 8: to a backup tight end or they threw to an

172
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 8: offensive tackle, like they don't they're not that great down

173
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 8: there in that situation. I mean, it's really let's focus

174
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 8: on Laporta and you can take everything. When you just

175
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 8: got moved back like that, that's just when you're like, hey,

176
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 8: it didn't work out, that sucks. You kick the extra point,

177
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 8: you go to overtime, you take your chances there. I

178
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 8: just think he was just too aggressive there, you know,

179
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 8: and it's part of their identity and that's fine, and hey,

180
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 8: there's a good chance that these two teams played each

181
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 8: other again at at and T Stadium in a few weeks,

182
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 8: and who knows, maybe maybe things are it's closed, maybe

183
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 8: not whatever, But to your point, it just seems like

184
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 8: on the road Cowboys have just come up just a

185
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 8: little bit short in those games, but at home they've

186
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 8: found a way to pull those out.

187
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: And the fact that you would be.

188
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,239
Speaker 8: Able to get to host two playoff games potentially before

189
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 8: you'd even have to play San Francisco at San Francisco,

190
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 8: somebody else could beat San Francisco and you could end

191
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 8: up hosting all three playoff games.

192
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: For I think it's a big deal. Don't get me wrong.

193
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 8: Any year i've covered this team, if you told me

194
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 8: that they could have got the one seater or two seat,

195
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 8: I'm like, man, that's huge, whatever. But specifically this year,

196
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 8: because of the way that they've played at home, that

197
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 8: just it means so much more.

198
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 7: It'd be hilarious if it's a Detroit Dallas divisional game

199
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 7: considering how long it's been since either of those teams

200
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 7: have made a conference championship, one of those drouts would

201
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 7: have to end at the end of that night, and obviously,

202
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 7: given what happened this last Saturday too, So it would

203
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 7: be a fun match.

204
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 1: In ninety five for the Cowboys and anyone for the Lions.

205
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 2: Wow.

206
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, that would be wild to see those two go

207
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 4: at it. The play where he was called ineligible, and

208
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 4: that's kind of been the talking point. Nick, What was

209
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 4: going through your head whenever that happened?

210
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 9: Oh?

211
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 7: Nothing, My brain was mush. I was just like okay,

212
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 7: I tweeted out. I was like, rolls man, don't ask

213
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 7: me like that was. That was kind of how I

214
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 7: felt about it. I talked to a good friend of ours,

215
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 7: Kyle Yeoman's guy Fraser, after the game, because he's he's

216
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 7: an officiating nerd, and so I kind of picked his

217
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 7: brain on this whole situation. And from his perspective, even

218
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 7: if Taylor Decker had reported correctly and they had had

219
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 7: that situation figured out correctly, it still would have been

220
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 7: in a legal formation as far as like too many

221
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 7: guys on the line, guys covered up. That's a lot

222
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 7: of stuff I don't understand, but that's what that's what

223
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 7: was communicated to me. From my perspective, what I think

224
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 7: happened there was the Lions were trying to confuse the

225
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 7: Cowboys by having three guys go up to the white

226
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 7: hat and only one of them report, and they were

227
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 7: trying to confuse the Dallas defensive line. I think in

228
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 7: doing that, they confused the officiator and the officials, and

229
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 7: it just confused everybody in the building. And whenever they

230
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 7: said over the loud speakers that seventy had reported, that

231
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 7: should have been Dan Campbell's opportunity to be able to

232
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 7: step and be like, whoa wait, it's supposed to.

233
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: Be sixty eight, that's not the play.

234
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's not the play, or or whatever somebody people

235
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 7: were saying he should have called the time out there.

236
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 7: He didn't have any timeouts, but still I think there's

237
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 7: something that could have been could have been done if

238
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 7: it was an officiating mistake. And I knew whenever the

239
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 7: Taylor Decker caught it. I was like, he wasn't the

240
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 7: one that reported. This is this can't be this can't

241
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 7: be right. And I didn't see a flag and I

242
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 7: was like, well, wow, okay, so that's going to stand.

243
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 7: And then I see the flag him in super late

244
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 7: and I was like, oh, that must be unsportsmanlike or

245
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 7: something like celebration and figured out that they put two

246
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 7: and two together and got the illegal touch.

247
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 8: And that's what adds to it. It's the delay on

248
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 8: the flag. As soon as that ball hits his hand,

249
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 8: the flag goes up. It takes a lot of this away.

250
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 8: But when you have that crew that obviously, since that

251
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 8: game has ended, people have dug up how many other

252
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 8: games that they've been on. It's it hasn't been great.

253
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 8: There's other calls in that game were not great. So

254
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 8: when you do that, you're gonna you leave this window

255
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 8: open for everyone the second guess what went on if

256
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 8: you throw it immediately like no, we know that that

257
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 8: guy's ineligible. It's like they let them celebrate. One of

258
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 8: the things I will always remember, maybe the thing I'll

259
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 8: remember most from that game is just because there were

260
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 8: so many Lions fans.

261
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: There is that in a fifteen seconds ten seconds.

262
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 8: Like just to see the difference in fan bases completely

263
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 8: lose their minds and then they stop, and then the

264
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 8: other fan base completely loses their minds because the flag

265
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 8: comes out and they're like this an eligible receiver. Like

266
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 8: where you couldn't even hear the officials talking because you know,

267
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 8: the Cowboys fans got so loud because they knew exactly

268
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 8: what that was, because let's be honest, I would say

269
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 8: most people that know football that were watching that game

270
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 8: in attendance are on TV, thought for sure when that happened, well,

271
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 8: they're just going to kick the extra point. Now, I

272
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 8: don't think most people thought that, Oh they're back at

273
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 8: the seven the other try. So I know, is there

274
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 8: another penalty? Maybe fifteen more yards you guys right again?

275
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

276
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 10: So I was down there obviously shooting, and the first

277
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 10: flag I saw came from the down judge from our sideline.

278
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 5: From the Dallas sideline, the Dallas sideline.

279
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 10: That was because that was the sideline that it was

280
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 10: a legal formation, So that came right away. Now, it

281
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 10: was in the it was kind of in the bunch

282
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 10: of it because she threw it in there into like

283
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 10: where all the linemen were. So that's the first one

284
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 10: I saw. And then the back judge who was back

285
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 10: at the back of the end zone went up to

286
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 10: the referee and asked him, like you could see what

287
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 10: number did you say? And then he's like seventy. They

288
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 10: looked He's like, well that was sixty eight, and then

289
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 10: he threw his flag down.

290
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 5: So that's the two flags I saw. No, that's really good.

291
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 5: I mean we were all there, we weren't on the field,

292
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 5: so Beemer.

293
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 4: Was right there, got a good, good look at it.

294
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 4: I think the part of it, too, is this was

295
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 4: a build up. There was a build up to that

296
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 4: play because throughout the game they were reporting lineman eligible,

297
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 4: and seventy was the lineman that they were reporting eligible

298
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 4: all day long. Taylor Decker was the guy who they

299
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 4: continued on the loudspeaker. We were sitting in the press box,

300
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 4: You're you're kind of doing your thing, but you heard

301
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 4: everyone in a while.

302
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 5: You do never really think much of it.

303
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 4: But I remember sitting there a couple of times and thinking, Okay,

304
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 4: seventy is eligible. Let me just watch and see what

305
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 4: happens here. Nothing would happen. And then it got to

306
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 4: the point where, like you said, Detroit was trying to

307
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 4: confuse things and the official probably looked back saw seventy

308
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 4: in the.

309
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 5: Huddle and was like, yeah, you know, what's seventy there?

310
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 5: You go like, that's who's eligible. And then it turned

311
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 5: into a downfield there.

312
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 4: Yes, there were bad calls both ways. It wasn't just

313
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 4: this call. It was the tripping call on the Dallas drive.

314
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 4: The tripping calls before, cause it was incredibly a terrible call.

315
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 8: I'll put it up against whatever you want to put

316
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 8: it against. Yes, when you watch the replay of that,

317
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 8: it's so not even close to being a tripping at hendershot.

318
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 8: I just don't think that unless you see something for sure,

319
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 8: you don't throw a flag.

320
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: You don't.

321
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 8: It looks like somebody trip let's throw the flight. No,

322
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 8: you have to definitively know and I'm and I'm of

323
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 8: a person who believes that you do that on the

324
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 8: first play the first quarter of week one, much less

325
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 8: in a big game that could ultimately have impacts on

326
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 8: who's the two and the three seed in the playoffs. Like,

327
00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 8: you got to see that suffort, and there's no way

328
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 8: anybody I saw that for sure, There's no way, because

329
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 8: it's not even close.

330
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 7: And honestly, looking back on it, this might be a

331
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 7: hot take, but I don't even throw the flag there

332
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 7: on Hutchinson, Like he was kind of like pushed out

333
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 7: and yeah.

334
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 9: His leg kind of extended. But I believe it was Pallard.

335
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 7: Pollard was already past those two guys by that point,

336
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 7: so I don't know it was.

337
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 9: It was mind boggling to me.

338
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 5: As well.

339
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 4: I just I also you think about the the just

340
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 4: the thought process of tripping in general. I mean, are

341
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 4: you going to get called for tripping against your own team?

342
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 4: Is that a penalty flag to trip your own your

343
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 4: own guys? I mean that's kind of like just common

344
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 4: sense to a certain extent. I know, you can get

345
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 4: called for tripping other players. And that's probably what the

346
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 4: call was, is that she thought or the official thought.

347
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 4: I forgot who throwed through the flag, but they thought

348
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 4: that it was Hindershot that tripped Hutchinson, even though Hutchinson

349
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 4: was the one that tripped Hindershot, and.

350
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 8: That they saw a leg out and it was cool,

351
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 8: but you got to know exactly who the leg it

352
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 8: was before you throw the flag. And if you don't

353
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 8: know whose leg it was, you just don't throw the flag.

354
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 8: You let them continue to play. And if you missed

355
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 8: the call, then you missed the call.

356
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 4: Let's talk about what happened after that though. It's kind

357
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 4: of from that penalty forward. That was a fifteen yard

358
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 4: penalty and forced to the Detroit twenty nine yard line,

359
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 4: and then it was the two minute warning. Next play

360
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 4: following the two minute warning, Dak completes a pass to

361
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 4: Cede Lamb out to the thirty three yard line, eleven

362
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 4: yards time out from Detroit. That's their second timeout, so

363
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 4: they've got one more remaining. Next play the deep ball

364
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 4: to Brandon Cooks on the right sideline incomplete, clock stops

365
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 4: at one fifty five.

366
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 5: Were you okay with that call?

367
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 4: Trying to drive the ball down the field rather than

368
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 4: hand it off and at least kill another forty seconds

369
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 4: because Detroit would then have to have their third time

370
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 4: out burned, and then you would at least there's forty

371
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 4: seconds more off the clock. You run it down. I

372
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 4: mean Detroit got it with one forty one left. Instead

373
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 4: they would get it with around one minute left, maybe

374
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 4: even less than that.

375
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I get them trying to take a

376
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: kill shot. I didn't like it at all. I would

377
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: just run the clock.

378
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 8: And especially again, you're playing at home, you have the

379
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 8: crowd on your side. You know, defense is playing pretty well.

380
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 8: It's not like the Lions are moving the ball up

381
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 8: and down the field.

382
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 5: Yeah.

383
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: I didn't like that at all.

384
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 8: I don't think that anybody involved in that play likes it.

385
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 4: Looking back on it now, you know, hindsight's twenty twenty,

386
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 4: but even in the moment.

387
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 7: Mike McCarthy was asked about it in the post cap

388
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 7: press conference that play specifically, and he said that they

389
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 7: wanted to go with the sure thing there, or they

390
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 7: felt like that was more of a sure thing there

391
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 7: to try and get the kill shot. That's I was

392
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 7: thinking back. I was like, so the running game, not

393
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 7: the sure thing, Okay, noted.

394
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's something to note too.

395
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 4: Jerry Jones talked about that a little bit this morning

396
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 4: as well. When we come back here on Talking Cowboys,

397
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,920

Speaker 4: say little news and notes in the second segment.

399
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 5: Plus we've got a special caller. No, we're calling in

406
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 11: trying to be faster than this cheetah that can run

407
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 11: eighty miles per hour. But the good news is Todd

408

Speaker 11: has at and T five g. It is fast, reliable,

409
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 11: and secure, and he learned the best thing to do

410
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,320

Speaker 4: Back here on Talking Cowboys, shoot us a text message

453

Speaker 4: while you have an opportunity eight one seven two nine

454
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 4: zero three two nine eight If you have any questions

455
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 4: over the ending scenario of that football game between the

456
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 4: Cowboys and the Lions that took place on Saturday night.

457
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 4: What ended up happening there, or if you have any

458
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 4: questions moving forward into what the playoff picture looks like.

459
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 4: We're gonna answer some of those here in a couple

460
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 4: of moments, but first let's check.

461
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 5: In with some news and notes from one Nick Harris.

462
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,479
Speaker 9: Yeah, absolutely so.

463
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 7: Two injuries that we're taking a look at going into

464
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,959
Speaker 7: the week. One with Tyler Smith, the tourist planner fashier

465
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,719
Speaker 7: that was confirmed with more imaging on Sunday. Honestly, it's

466
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 7: a good thing with those planner fascia injuries. If you

467
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 7: get a complete tear, then you can heal on those

468
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 7: a little bit quicker. You can play on those while

469
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 7: you know, you go through that rehab process. And that's

470
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 7: kind of the expectation that they that they hope that

471
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 7: they'll be able to do with Tyler Smith. So you

472
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 7: would think, Okay, just keep him out this week and

473
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:03,959
Speaker 7: then you know, prep him for the playoffs. But there

474
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 7: seems to be a little bit of optimism that if

475
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 7: he has a good week as far as managing pain,

476
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 7: that they'll be able to put him on the field

477
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 7: on Sunday in Washington, and that's not an injury that

478
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 7: he could further mess up.

479
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 9: It's done. He has a torn planner fashion.

480
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 7: He's gonna have to have surgery on that probably in

481
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 7: the off season, or more rehab on that in the offseason.

482
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 7: There's nothing that they can do about it right now.

483
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 7: But the good thing is there's nothing worse he can

484
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 7: do about it right now, so it's really just about

485
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 7: managing his pain moving forward. We'll see what that as

486
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 7: the week goes on. I don't expect him to practice

487
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 7: on Wednesday. I'd probably expect at the very earliest they

488
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 7: try to do some things with him on Thursday. That's

489
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 7: just me theorizing. If he can't go, then it will

490
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 7: probably be TJ Bass back in at left guard, which

491
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 7: you know, I asked offense coordinator Brian Schottenheimer yesterday about

492
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 7: TJ Bass and just his development as the season has

493
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 7: gone on, and they really like what he's put together.

494
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 7: They're not treating him like an undrafted rookie by any means.

495
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 7: And if you think back to when Tyler Smith had

496
00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 7: to miss a couple of games early in the season,

497
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 7: it was true Meydoga that was plugged in at left guard.

498
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 9: Now it's TJ.

499
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 7: Bass, and they're comfortable moving him from right guard to

500
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 7: left guard and being able to keep that consistency. So honestly,

501
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 7: I'm completely okay with letting TJ. Bass work at left

502
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 7: guard against Washington, just in case if you need him

503
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 7: against anybody in the playoffs and you have a little

504
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 7: bit of a little bit of experience there from the

505
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 7: end of the regular season.

506
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 8: Man, that Schottenheimer answer to your question is one of

507
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 8: my favorite answers because I just like it when coaches

508
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 8: give you or players a little bit more behind the

509
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 8: scenes in the way he used an example of like

510
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 8: being in one of the offensive meetings and like they'll

511
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 8: try and put younger guys on the spot, like knowing

512
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 8: different like in different scenarios, different.

513
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: Offensive calls and stuff like that.

514
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 8: And Schottenheimer purposely wanted to kind of catch Bass off

515
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 8: guard and threw out some questions that really he probably

516
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,719
Speaker 8: only would expect like the quarterback to know in these

517
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 8: certain situations, and I guess TJ just rattled him off

518
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 8: in like so much detail that like the whole room

519
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 8: like erupted and started clapping for him because they couldn't

520
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 8: believe that this guy would know all this stuff. I

521
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 8: just love when when they I love the behind the

522
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 8: scenes stuff of things like that, and I understand where

523
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 8: the coaches and players come from. There's a lot of

524
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 8: stuff that hey, this is behind the scenes. We're not

525
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 8: going to share this, we're not supposed to. The one

526
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 8: that I always talk about is like when we're at

527
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 8: training camp, anytime there's some type of a scuffle, it's

528
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 8: like we all start tweeting right away. How many of

529
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 8: those do you think it happened during the season out

530
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 8: there when we can't even watch practice, And he's like, yeah,

531
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 8: it's a Tuesday, you know, Like but yeah, I thought

532
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 8: that was a great answer to that. The going back

533
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 8: to Tyler Smith, I will say, I don't know if

534
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 8: you had this feeling, but man, when he was on

535
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 8: the ground, the way he like wasn't moving and grabbing

536
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 8: like the back of his like foot and ankle area.

537
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: It's one of those where just there's a few times.

538
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 8: Per year where my eyes immediately go to the cart

539
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 8: to see, like, are the people moving around are they

540
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 8: about to bring the card over? Because it's like right

541
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 8: down the line from where we are in the press box,

542
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 8: and I was like, this looks like because he's not

543
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 8: putting any weight on. And then when they started helping

544
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 8: him off, I'm like, yeah, maybe. And then you saw

545
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 8: him walking around a little bit on the side, and

546
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 8: I'm like, all right, maybe this isn't you know.

547
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: They said he's questionable, they're not ruling him out. That

548
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: was the call in the press box.

549
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 8: So to find out that this is what it is,

550
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 8: that's that's dodging a huge bullet there, you know, because

551
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 8: that's the thing like I kind of took from McCarthy

552
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 8: yesterday when he's talking about where the team and stuff

553
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 8: like that, and always said the number one thing, you

554
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 8: know going to the playoffs would be health.

555
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: You know, that's the number one thing that you want

556
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: that more than anything.

557
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,959
Speaker 8: And yeah, this team, obviously he'd love to have Trayvon

558
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 8: Diggs and over shown what we've talked about.

559
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: But this is a pretty healthy team, you know.

560
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 8: And if yeah, you might have to overcome a little

561
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 8: bit of a Tyler Smith that being one hundred percent,

562
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 8: but they're in pretty good shape right now.

563
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 7: I wouldn't initially happened. I thought it was hamstring just

564
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 7: yevn what had happened earlier in the season, and it

565
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 7: kind of looked like he was going at the back

566
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 7: of his calf.

567
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 9: For a upper leg.

568
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 7: But whenever they said over the in orkm that it

569
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:33,719
Speaker 7: was foot and questionable, it was like, Okay, I think

570
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 7: they may have dodged a bullet here, like you said.

571
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 7: Moving forward with injuries, Jonathan Hankins, as we know, he's

572
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 7: missed the last three games with that ankle injury that

573
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 7: he suffered against the Eagles back on December tenth, there

574
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 7: seems to be some optimism that he can not only

575
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 7: get back on the practice field tomorrow, but play on Sunday.

576
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,360
Speaker 7: They want him back on the field before the playoffs.

577
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 7: They want to get him back going with reps on

578
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 7: the field. If you ask me right now, I think

579
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 7: Hankins goes on Sunday. So there's quite a bit of

580
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 7: optimism in the building towards to that.

581
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, a couple of text messages kind of filing in

582
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 4: back and forth, but they were talking about TJ.

583
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,199
Speaker 5: Bass has a lot of potential things like that. I

584
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 5: think add to it.

585
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 4: Not only is he showing on the field, hey, he's

586
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 4: capable of filling in and doing a really nice job

587
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 4: but also contributing in the locker room and in the

588
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 4: team meetings as well.

589
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 5: That's huge.

590
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 4: Still, Yeah, lots of questions about what it looks like

591
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 4: from a Jonathan Hankins standpoint. Jerry Jones sounded pretty optimistic

592
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 4: about it today as well. He said that that was

593
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 4: kind of part of the plan is initially it was Detroit,

594
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 4: but whenever it was in Detroit, it was a chance

595
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 4: to see him kind of end out the regular season

596
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 4: maybe on limited snaps against Washington.

597
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 5: What Jerry said that stuck out.

598
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 4: To me is he said, all hands on deck. So

599
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 4: that's kind of the mindset going into this week against Washington.

600
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, really quick on Hankins, he had a really good

601
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 7: workout yesterday. It was an individual and then they hoped

602
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 7: to get him back on the practice field tomorrow.

603
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 9: That's kind of the expectation right now. I would expect

604
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 9: it to be in limited reps.

605
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 8: Though, and when you just start looking ahead to Sunday, like,

606
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 8: let's say it see like in the thirties, could be raining,

607
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 8: a little bit, might be some snow in Maryland for

608
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 8: that game, and so love that you can kind of

609
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 8: see it turning into where if you can stop Washington's run,

610
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,479
Speaker 8: then you probably be in pretty good shape. I mean,

611
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 8: the Cowboys are pretty heavily favored here, but still, like

612
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 8: after seeing what they did to Washington last year, you know,

613
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 8: it would make a lot of sense if Hankins can go.

614
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 8: I think you need them to play in this game,

615
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 8: just because of everything that's on the line. Such a

616
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 8: big difference between the Tuesday and the five seed.

617
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 7: Completely different, especially now you have it in hand right right.

618
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 4: This this feels like a playoff game. Not maybe not

619
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 4: because of maybe the team that you're playing. I mean

620
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 4: it's an NFL team. You can't overlook anybody, but it's

621
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 4: more so about what's at stake, because it completely feels

622
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 4: like you're setting yourself up either for success or failure

623
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 4: one way or the other in the playoffs whenever you

624
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 4: come down to it. But you win, you're in as

625
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,440

Speaker 17: What's what's going on?

639
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 5: Why? Why did you sound so happy?

640
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 16: Man? You know what, Cole, I woke up this morning,

641
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 16: you know, uh, you know, I had my black rifle

642
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 16: confidence this morning. I had my you know, my super

643
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 16: trust and super food this morning. So I'm just I

644
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 16: went my drive back from from New Orleans, you know,

645
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 16: I spent a couple of days there, yeah, over the

646
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 16: last over the last little bit, and had a late

647
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 16: night last night. I don't know if you guys saw

648
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:46,959
Speaker 16: you might have caught the game on TV last night,

649
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 16: but uh, it was it was a purple rain last night. Hey, Nick,

650
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 16: how are you doing there?

651
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 9: What's going on?

652
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 5: Man?

653
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 7: That was a hell of a game. I'm jealous that

654
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 7: you got to see that one. And gosh, I had

655
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 7: kind of conceded in my mind whenever they were down

656
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 7: what was at thirteen four minutes left and then they

657
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:02,919
Speaker 7: had a shot to win it there at the end.

658
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 7: It kind of felt like the Cowboys Eagles game from

659
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 7: earlier in the season.

660
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 16: Yeah, I didn't like it at all. My wife was

661
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 16: pretty much tired to me because my mccullor commentator had

662
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 16: came on, I'll probably at the end of the third quarter,

663
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 16: and I started telling her about time management and how

664
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 16: to manage the game and with what you know, Washington

665
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 16: should be doing with the ball and all those days

666
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 16: she was she was kind of over me. But then

667
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 16: towards the end of the fourth quarter she understood when

668
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 16: I was talking about, you know, a quarter before that,

669
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 16: I was like, yeah, this thirteen point lead is not

670
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 16: good because as an opposing team, you feel fully confident

671
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 16: that you could score and get the ball back, and

672
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 16: all you gotta do is score to win the ball game.

673
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 16: And they sure enough played out that way. They worked

674
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 16: their way down there, and luckily, you know, the one

675
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 16: second I put back on the clock and our guy,

676
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 16: our quarterback, made a play. But that game was entirely

677
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 16: too close. They should have easily have been a as

678
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 16: much of a blowout as it was a close game.

679
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 16: But you know, it really comes down to game management

680
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 16: and decisions, just like we just talking about it in

681
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 16: the Troy Gang. You know, it's just, you know, every

682
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 16: every decision matters. Man, when you're playing those those highly talented,

683
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 16: highly competitive games.

684
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 7: There's just some family in section one oh six as

685
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 7: sitting right in front of you. That's just hearing you

686
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 7: in early in the fourth quarter. You know, if Jabar

687
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 7: Mohammad just plays better to the shell covered behind it,

688
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 7: that Jordan Whittington doesn't get that reception.

689
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 16: Hey, next you saying literally, as I'm talking to my wife,

690
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 16: there's literally somebody behind me in the row behind me,

691
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 16: and there's like an older lady who's like, it's just

692
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 16: like sitting down the whole time because there's too much

693
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,199
Speaker 16: going on, and they're both at me and just like

694
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 16: nodding their head as I'm talking through.

695
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 4: They probably appreciated the inside honestly. Now, with with you

696
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 4: being a Washington legend yourself and playing your collegiate ball

697
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 4: with the Huskies, I mean, how many autographs did you

698
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 4: sign down in New Orleans throughout the week?

699
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 5: Did you did you.

700
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 4: Sign one or two? Or did the whole Smoothie King

701
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,719
Speaker 4: Center and the whole Caesar super Dome hit you up

702
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 4: for an autograph?

703
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 16: You know what, a lot of pictures, a lot of

704
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 16: appreciation from fans. I really appreciate the support. It's crazy

705
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 16: because you're so far removed in terms of years, but

706
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 16: you know, a program like ours that is so you

707
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 16: know from at least from you know from my stand,

708
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 16: but it's so historic. And I'm a Seattle guy. Man.

709
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 16: There's a lot of people who remember you and supported you,

710
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 16: and I just kept telling people thank you for the support,

711
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 16: and it was it was just awesome to see the whole,

712
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 16: you know, the whole Seattle really come down there and

713
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 16: and hold it down in New Orleans because they were

714
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 16: I'll tell you what them Texas fans. They came through deep.

715
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 16: There's a lot of dog on burn orange around there,

716
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 16: So shout out to their fan base for supporting as well.

717
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 7: I'll tell you, Isaiah, it was a hell of the game.

718
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 7: I'm happy. I'm happy it went that way. I expected

719
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 7: that kind of brawl, and I just want to let

720
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 7: you know I'm joining the Dark Side for the game

721
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:43,240

00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 5: I don't know what got win or lose.

742
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 4: Tuesday is gonna be a tough one, all right, say

743
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 4: be safe, we'll see you tomorrow.

744
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 5: There he goes semi final champion Isaiah stand Bay.

745
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 17: Yeah.

746
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 7: If Isaiah still listening, you can stop at this little

747
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 7: rest stop in Naketish, Louisiana. It's a it's a German

748
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 7: a rest up. They got like a ton of German

749
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 7: food in there. It's incredible stuff. You can get like

750
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 7: a little uh, you know, colas or whatever.

751
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, uh, do you know the name of it.

752
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 7: I don't know the name of it, but it is

753
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,239
Speaker 7: the spot in that so like if you get off

754
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 7: and you just ask for the German place, then they'll

755
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 7: point you in the right direction.

756
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: What is there is? I thought there was like a

757
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: place called like the check stop or something like that that's.

758
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 7: A west between here and Waco. West comments, I got you, okay, Yeah,

759
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 7: Actually very cool because they put the COMMA on their

760
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 7: high school football uniforms because very important that you have

761
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 7: the comma West Texas, West Texas.

762
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 8: I was torn watching that game this day though, because

763
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,719
Speaker 8: I was like, I felt for you guys, the Longhorn fans,

764
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 8: But then also I was like, man, Isaia would be

765
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 8: so happy. And then and I also factored in with

766
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 8: which one of these teams got the best chance to

767
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 8: beat Michigan because I don't want to see Michigan in it,

768
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 8: and just the way Pennix was playing him, like, well

769
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 8: he plays like that, and I.

770
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: Don't think anybody can beat them.

771
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 8: But then there was another part of me where I'm like, well, then,

772
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 8: who's played like that in multiple games? And I mean,

773
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 8: I guess you could say Joe Burrow probably did in

774
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 8: twenty nineteen. But it's just tough to have like multiple

775
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 8: games like that with everything riding on the line like that.

776
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: But it I mean it should be. It would have

777
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: been huge regardless.

778
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 8: The one thing I thought would have been wild to

779
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 8: see is Texas being in Houston to play that game.

780
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 8: It is how many fans would have been there.

781
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 4: Well, imagine the brands of Texas and Michigan through playing

782
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 4: each other in Houston. So it would be a Texas

783
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 4: advantage for sure.

784
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 1: But about you, how are you feeling? I was just

785
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: a college football fan.

786
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 5: I really was.

787
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 4: I didn't have any rooting interest for the most part.

788
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 4: I don't have any ties to any.

789
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 5: Of those schools. But I've always been a huge fan

790
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 5: of the Rose Bowl just in general. I love the

791
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 5: Rose Bowl.

792
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 4: If there was a top five event for me to

793
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 4: get to call one day, no.

794
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 5: Doubt the Rose Bowls in that top five. It would

795
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 5: be up there with a Super.

796
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 4: Bowl, a World Series Final, four NBA Finals. I don't

797
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 4: even like it's the Rose Bowls probably two or three

798
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 4: on that list actually, because it's just one of the

799
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 4: most incredible venues in sports. But the brands and the teams,

800
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 4: I mean, I think the best player in college football,

801
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 4: and if I had a Heisman vote, it would have

802
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 4: gone to Michael Pennis Pinnix.

803
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 5: I think he is an incredible player.

804
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 4: And I tweeted this out last night and I'm sure

805
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 4: you probably saw it, but a little spoiler alert for

806
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 4: the draft show. I like Michael PENNOCKX Junior a lot

807
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 4: more than most draft analysts.

808
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 5: I think he's incredible. Is he QB one.

809
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna spoil that just yet, but is he's

810
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 4: up there on the list maybe two or three. Absolutely,

811
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 4: he's a top three guy for me. But he's he's

812
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 4: really really good. He's got a little bit.

813
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 5: Of an arm angled thing that some people are gonna

814
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 5: point out. That doesn't bother me. He's a baller. He's

815
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 5: so good.

816
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 17: Uh.

817
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 4: But with that being said, we can talk draft after

818
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 4: the Cowboys win the Super Bowl. So when we come

00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 11: Tod thought it would be secure to jog in the

853
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,399
Speaker 11: cheetah Savannah. Todd believed the big Cat repellent he bought

854
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 11: online was reliable, and now Todd is trying to be

855
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 11: faster than this cheetah that can run eighty miles per hour.

856
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 11: But the good news is Todd has AT and T

857
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 11: five G. It is fast, reliable, and secure, and he

858
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 11: learned the best thing to do is stop running and

859
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 11: toss her the backpack with the beef stew At and

860
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 11: T five G. Fast reliable, secure, It's not complicated.

861

Speaker 4: John Machoda, Chris Beam in the back, I'm Kyle Yeomans

872
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 4: as we break down this Cowboys Lions win twenty to nineteen.

873
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 4: The first text message I just saw that popped up says,

874
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:26,280
Speaker 4: is the NFL rigged?

875
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 9: Yes?

876
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 1: The answer yes, you got us darn for what reason?

877
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 9: I don't know every reason, every reason.

878
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 5: It's like a standalone.

879
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,439
Speaker 4: The text before that says Tyler Smith injuries question mark.

880
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 8: With all of the friends and family that I have

881
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 8: that are Detroit Lions fans, it was real easy to

882
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,280
Speaker 8: just fire back what anybody asked me about, Like, man,

883
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 8: I just think this stuff could be rigged, you know,

884
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 8: Jerry paint off the you know, any of those type

885
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,439
Speaker 8: of things like that. I'm just like you think maybe

886
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 8: if that stuff happened, that maybe they put that team

887
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 8: in the Super Bowl ones Like, what a.

888
00:36:58,880 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 1: Script you're running here.

889
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 8: I mean, honestly, like, if you were going to rig it,

890
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 8: you'd at least put the Cowboys in the Super Bowl

891
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 8: once every ten years minimum, just because of how big

892
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 8: of a deal it would be.

893
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, the numbers, your numbers makes no sense to me,

894
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 4: but whatever, this is a really good text message from

895
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,760
Speaker 4: the seven oh three. Can the Cowboys make a deep

896
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 4: run with the state of this offensive line?

897
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: Absolutely?

898
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 8: This is the most random thing I saw the other day,

899
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 8: and it was you know, I'm looking at I'm fascinated

900
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 8: by the fact that everybody knows that the Cowboys want

901
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 8: to get the ball to CD Lamb, and they're still

902
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,280
Speaker 8: getting the ball to City Lamb, and it just seems

903
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 8: like it just gets crazier and crazier. But if you

904
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 8: look at Brandon Cook's numbers, it is wild. How if

905
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 8: he has twenty or more receiving yards they have not lost.

906
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,399
Speaker 8: When he has had less than twenty receiving yards, they've

907
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 8: lost every game. Like it just I do think that

908
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 8: when you watch this team to year, I just feel

909
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 8: like Cooks has just continued to get be more and

910
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,359
Speaker 8: more of the offense. And so because of that, if

911
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 8: they had not had that number one or sorry, number

912
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 8: two receiver kind of emerge and you're just kind of

913
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 8: leaning on, like you know, the pass would be like

914
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 8: Zeke and power in the running game and then maybe

915
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 8: one wide receiver, I'd feel a little bit differently. But

916
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 8: I just think that I think there's just more that

917
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 8: you could even get out of Cooks and they've got

918
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 8: so far. And I think that outside of Tyreek Hill,

919
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,879
Speaker 8: there's not a wide receiver playing better than Ceedee Lamb

920
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:17,879
Speaker 8: and you can put him in that same conversation.

921
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: So because of that, that's the only reason why I

922
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: would say, yeah, I still think they can even with

923
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 1: the offensive line.

924
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's kind of previewing my Naked Knight that I

925
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 7: have played for tonight. It's deep diving into Brandon Cooks.

926
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 7: I think there's a lot of reasons why this team

927
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 7: could make a deep run. I think Brandon Cooks is

928
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 7: one of the most important. But yeah, it plays into

929
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 7: the offensive line as well. I think this this offensive line,

930
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 7: it's been able to build some chemistry, build some consistency

931
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 7: with all five guys up front. In this past game,

932
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:42,800
Speaker 7: up until Tyler Smith got hurt, you could see a

933
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,919
Speaker 7: little bit of that. I'm fine with these five guys

934
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 7: going into the playoffs, for sure.

935
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 9: I don't. I think that's far from the biggest concerns.

936
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 4: All right, let's go to Champ in the three toho

937
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 4: eight quick pop quiz.

938
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 5: Where's the three to eight nick R? You should know this, Nebraska.

939
00:38:57,960 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 9: Why would I know that?

940
00:38:58,719 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 5: I don't know.

941
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 4: I figured it's like some of the random knowledge that

942
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 4: you would know that.

943
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 9: That is something I want.

944
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 5: Champ, what's going on?

945
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 4: You're on talking Calboys, going guys, what's on your mind?

946
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 17: Well, I got a statement and a question. I'm a

947
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,720
Speaker 17: long time listener. I love the show. I wish Isaiah

948
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 17: was there, but I'm sure he's listening.

949
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 5: I guarantee you.

950
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 17: So my statement is I'm not going to apologize for

951
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,760
Speaker 17: that penalty being called on Detroit. Ever, none of us should.

952
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,760
Speaker 17: The Cowboys have gotten hosed over the years many times

953
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 17: on these weird penalties. We go back to the year

954
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:36,760
Speaker 17: that we got called for twelve minute in the huddle

955
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 17: in a playoff game when Dak I can't remember if

956
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,800
Speaker 17: Dak or Romo was off to the side. We didn't

957
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 17: have the twelve minute in the huddle, the Green Bay

958
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 17: penalty on the line last year the receiver. Nobody made

959
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 17: a big deal about it, so Kansas City this year.

960
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 17: So I'm not apologizing for what happened to Detroit. They

961
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 17: have their opportunities to win the game. They to take them.

962
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 17: We won the game. My question though, is how did

963
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 17: you feel after the game? Before Philadelphia lives? I personally

964
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 17: was a little discouraged. I didn't think the team had

965
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,919
Speaker 17: everything that needed to get to the ultimate goal this year.

966
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 17: But after that Philadelphia loss, everything changed for me. I

967
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 17: feel like we have a potential to host two playoff games,

968
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 17: potentially the NFC Championship or somebody upset San Francisco. What

969
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 17: where are you at then? After the game and after Philadelphia.

970
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 4: Lost champ We appreciate the call the time guy, Yeah,

971
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 4: absolutely appreciate you listening.

972
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,479
Speaker 5: Appreciate the call. Great question. Who wants to start?

973
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was a great call because it kind of

974
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 7: played into my thought process as well.

975
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 9: Coming out of that win.

976
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 7: You look at it and you're like, Okay, they were

977
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 7: one two point conversion away from this just being Miami

978
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 7: all over again. Yeah, you allow a late score, they

979
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 7: drive down the field. Quick game killed you once again,

980
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 7: and you lose a game late that you should have won,

981
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 7: and you kind of look at it and you're like, Okay,

982
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 7: there's a do w.

983
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:05,959
Speaker 9: But you're still the five seed.

984
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:07,720
Speaker 7: You're gonna have to go on the road and probably

985
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 7: play a Tampa Bay team and then probably a Philadelphia team,

986
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 7: and there's just not a lot of confidence in that

987
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 7: three and five on the road. And then I think

988
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 7: things kind of flipped. It was that yesterday, day before yesterday.

989
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 7: I don't know what data is anymore. Whenever the Eagles lost,

990
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 7: because now you're looking at potentially two home playoff games.

991
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,760
Speaker 7: You get to play the seventh seed to open up. Obviously,

992
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 7: got a handle business this weekend, and then you get

993
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 7: to avoid Philadelphia and San Francisco in the second round

994
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 7: most likely if everyone handles business as far as higher

995
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 7: seeds and stuff go.

996
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 9: So yeah, I'm with you one hundred percent, Champ.

997
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 8: I'm just looking at the bigger picture when all that's

998
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 8: going on, and it's the Okay, So clearly the Ravens

999
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 8: and the Niners are on a different level if you

1000
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 8: talk about AFC and NFC.

1001
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,479
Speaker 1: After that, the Cowboys are right there with everything else.

1002
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 8: And that's now with that, it was more for me

1003
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 8: with seeing Philadelphia lose. It's the losing four of the

1004
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:57,839
Speaker 8: last five when you thought that was gonna be one

1005
00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:59,439
Speaker 8: of the teams that would be so tough to go through.

1006
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 8: And then the fact that you go from the five

1007
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,240
Speaker 8: to the two, you get to play multiple home games

1008
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 8: potentially because of that. I mean, like I said, the

1009
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,879
Speaker 8: only if I was predicting right now like who's got

1010
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 8: or saying like who has the best chance to get

1011
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 8: to the super Bowl, I mean I would put the

1012
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,399
Speaker 8: Ravens at one, nine ers at two.

1013
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 1: I put the Cowboys with every other team that's in

1014
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 1: the NFL.

1015
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 8: There's not another team that I would say, oh no, no,

1016
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 8: they got clearly a better chance against super Bowl than

1017
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 8: the Cowboys.

1018
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: Doo right now.

1019
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 8: And really it's just because of that and the two

1020
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 8: compared to the five, with how these team's played at

1021
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:32,439
Speaker 8: home changes everything. So yes, it does, you know, Yes,

1022
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 8: I get it. There weren't a lot of style points

1023
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 8: and them beating the Lions, but the Lions are This

1024
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 8: isn't like a typical Lions team.

1025
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: This is a good football team.

1026
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 8: And so I look at just getting that win, getting

1027
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 8: to eleven wins. As long as you take care of

1028
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:49,760
Speaker 8: business against Washington, that's another three consecutive twelve win seasons.

1029
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 8: You just keep knocking on the door. You get to

1030
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 8: be the two seed. There's just a lot to be

1031
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 8: excited about with that because I just don't take what

1032
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 8: happens in individual games go Okay, well this is a season.

1033
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: Now, it's such a week to week league. Just get into.

1034
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 8: There and have the home field, and who knows what happens,

1035
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,439
Speaker 8: you know, So I think they're in a great spot.

1036
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you guys know I do a lot of

1037
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 4: college basketball. It just reminds me of survive in advance. Yeah,

1038
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 4: that's exactly what it is is survive in advance. You survived,

1039
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 4: you got to win. And speaking of college basketball, I

1040
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 4: had a great conversation a couple of weeks ago, and

1041
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,399
Speaker 4: this is I promise this does relate because I feel

1042
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 4: like every week I've seen it since we had this conversation.

1043
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 4: Head coach at North Texas name is Ross Hodge. He's

1044
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,720
Speaker 4: a big Cowboys fan at the professor. Yeah, he's awesome.

1045
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 4: Love coach Hodge. North Texas had a three game losing

1046
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 4: streak this is a program for college basketball that's been

1047
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 4: really good the last couple of years. Just won the

1048
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 4: n I t In the NCAAA Tournament, they had a

1049
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 4: three game losing streak.

1050
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 5: For the first time in a couple of years. And

1051
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 5: I asked him, I was like.

1052
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 4: What is the mentality, What is the mentality right now?

1053
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 4: Because you haven't been losing, but you have been these

1054
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 4: last three games. And he said, you know what, they

1055
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 4: were all by a combined like.

1056
00:43:57,800 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 5: Eleven points or something like that. Something weird.

1057
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 4: And he said, no matter what happens, the way you

1058
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 4: got there is still the same. The way you played

1059
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:07,879
Speaker 4: is still the same. The problems are going to remain

1060
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,320
Speaker 4: the problems. The strengths are going to remain the strengths.

1061
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 4: The only thing that changes is the way you feel

1062
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 4: about it and your record at the end of the day.

1063
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 4: That's what these last two games have felt like for me.

1064
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 4: For the Dallas Cowboys is the Dolphins, you didn't have

1065
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 4: enough offense, your defense played well enough to win that game,

1066
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:24,240
Speaker 4: but you lost.

1067
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 5: You didn't feel very good about it.

1068
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 4: What happened in the Detroit game, you didn't have enough

1069
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,720
Speaker 4: offense and your defense played well enough to win that game,

1070
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 4: but depending on one or two plays going in a

1071
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:38,399
Speaker 4: certain direction. You feel much better about this Detroit game

1072
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,280
Speaker 4: than you did about the Dolphins loss. And yes, winning

1073
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 4: and losing there is a difference, but I think it

1074
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 4: was amplified. You already felt pretty good about Hey, you're

1075
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 4: at eleven and five.

1076
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:48,760
Speaker 5: You got to win over a really good team.

1077
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 4: You're able to build a little bit of that confidence

1078
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 4: going into the playoffs, but you didn't necessarily have the

1079
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:56,800
Speaker 4: style points. It's amplified significantly now that you get a

1080
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 4: chance to play at home twice in the postseason. That

1081
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:03,720
Speaker 4: comp letely changes the whole outlook of the entire season

1082
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 4: for the Cowboys if they can continue to win, defeat

1083
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 4: Washington and then take that two seats.

1084
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 1: I'll also say something we haven't talked about.

1085
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:14,479
Speaker 8: We were robbed of something in that Lions Cowboys game,

1086
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 8: and that was if the two point conversion does stand,

1087
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 8: there's still like twenty three seconds. I would have loved

1088
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 8: to see what distance they would have marched Aubrey out

1089
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 8: there to try and get the win. What do you

1090
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 8: pick up two three first time? I mean they're marching

1091
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 8: them out there at seventy Yeah, and you had two right,

1092
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 8: and I just I.

1093
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,359
Speaker 5: Mean, you don't mind. I'm okay, I don't really want

1094
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 5: to see that, but it.

1095
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 8: Would have been interesting because you imagine you maybe it's

1096
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 8: a seventy yarder to win that game, even if it's

1097
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 8: like sixty five. Yes, and he wins that, Oh my gosh.

1098
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 10: Apparently Aikman walked up to him pregame and ask him

1099
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 10: what his what his range was, and he said he

1100
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 10: looked him in that and goes about seventy.

1101
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:57,800
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know that crazy?

1102
00:45:57,960 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 5: All right, sory.

1103
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 8: Ten yards behind the start. Just the objects of that

1104
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 8: watching it from the press box.

1105
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 5: Have been what it would have been nuts awesome.

1106
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 4: Real quick, let's go to Mike in New York, our

1107
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 4: final call here on this Talking Tuesday.

1108
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 5: What's up, Big Mic?

1109
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 17: What's going on?

1110
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 3: Guys? You guys know I listen to the show all

1111
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 3: the time, me and my cousin. He lives in Jersey,

1112
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:18,800
Speaker 3: and obviously he's a Diae Caboys fan just like me,

1113
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 3: and we are texting over the game. And you know

1114
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 3: my biggest concern, and you guys know I've said it

1115
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,800
Speaker 3: many many times before, I say it again, a clock manager.

1116
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 3: It's got to be better. Come on, because he like,

1117
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 3: come on, what's up with the two minutes and come on,

1118
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 3: let's run the ball. I mean my question is not

1119
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 3: for nothing. Now. Is Tony parr is already? Is Paula alright?

1120
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 3: Is running back? I mean, I mean, I know he's

1121
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 3: not having the best season, but it's like I I mean,

1122
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 3: I'll clock manager.

1123
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:44,240
Speaker 17: It's got to be better.

1124
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 5: Completely agree, Mike appreciate the call.

1125
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,839
Speaker 4: I think Mike needs to be immortalized in this show.

1126
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 4: I think we need to clip one of those come ons.

1127
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 4: Come on, like, I just need one of those back there,

1128
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 4: beam Er, just whenever you get a chance. What do

1129
00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 4: you guys think about that clock management and then the

1130
00:46:59,200 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 4: run game?

1131
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 5: I think concerns coming out of that Detroit win.

1132
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 7: Yeah, we've talked about it a little bit already. You

1133
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,839
Speaker 7: look at that second down throw on that final drive,

1134
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 7: and you know the comments after about how that was

1135
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:15,800
Speaker 7: more of a sure thing. It's it's wild three straight

1136
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 7: games that this team is not rushed for one hundred yards.

1137
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 7: Credit to Bobby belt on the fan this morning, saying

1138
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 7: that's the first time it's happened since twenty thirteen. Wow,

1139
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 7: there's got to be something to find in the running game,

1140
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 7: Whether it's integrating Rico a little bit more, integrating Douce Fawn,

1141
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 7: integrating Ceedee Lamb. I mean, yeah, whatever you gotta do back. Yeah,

1142
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 7: maybe maybe Hunter Lipkey a little bit. I'm kind of

1143
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 7: standing off my Mike.

1144
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 5: Don't encourage him.

1145
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,359
Speaker 7: Look, it was a tough week a couple of weeks ago.

1146
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 7: I'm on time out for Hunter Lipkey. But you just

1147
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 7: got to integrate more weapons, I think. I think if

1148
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 7: you can get more guys, more touches.

1149
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 9: Then you find a little bit more multiplicity in the

1150
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 9: run game.

1151
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:51,919
Speaker 8: That's just me, though, I mean, I have concerns about

1152
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 8: the run game, no question. I mean, it's hard to

1153
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 8: predict that they're going to win multiple playoff games without

1154
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 8: Tony Pollard having a big game in one of them.

1155
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:03,840
Speaker 8: But I just don't I just I still think that

1156
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 8: they're just scratching the surface on what they can do

1157
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:07,879
Speaker 8: in that passing game. I don't think that they've met

1158
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 8: that yet with what they can do with Cooks and

1159
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:12,320
Speaker 8: Ceedee Lamb and so, because I think they can overcome

1160
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 8: some things. But it is a concern because I just

1161
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 8: don't see it. I mid season whatever, I was already

1162
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 8: at the point where I'm like I don't see this

1163
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:22,359
Speaker 8: all of a sudden, just I'll just keep giving plug

1164
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 8: and away it'll eventually click. It's kind of been what

1165
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 8: I've thought of the run game all season long, like

1166
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 8: it just isn't It isn't going to be the strength

1167
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:30,439
Speaker 8: that it's been in the past. But you're just gonna

1168
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 8: have to win in different ways. And I mean, don't

1169
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 8: get me wrong, everybody wants, you know, Micah Parsons a

1170
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:40,320
Speaker 8: great run game and a franchise quarterback playing an MVP

1171
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 8: level and a star receiver playing at an elite level

1172
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 8: and all their stuff, but it's like, not no one,

1173
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:47,839
Speaker 8: no one really has that, So you know, you're gonna

1174
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 8: have to find different ways to win games.

1175
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 1: I just think where they're situated, at what they have

1176
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: on this team. Yeah it's not perfect, but they have

1177
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:55,760
Speaker 1: enough there to win multiple playoff games.

1178
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:57,720
Speaker 5: And I still think it could happen.

1179
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 4: It's not like it's it's a foregone conclusion that it's

1180
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 4: the running game is going to be dormant throughout the playoffs.

1181
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 4: They have the pieces to have a big game. It

1182
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 4: just hasn't happened yet, which is discouraging. But I don't

1183
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 4: think it's impossible. At the same time, I completely agree.

1184
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 4: Final question before we get out of here is from

1185
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 4: the text line nine to one. Nine says, hey, guys,

1186
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:21,320
Speaker 4: great show. I get home field being a big talking point. However,

1187
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 4: am I the only one that thinks the Round one

1188
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 4: matchup is harder against the Rams or Seahawks than it

1189
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 4: would be against the Bucks. He knows it's at home,

1190
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 4: but still, I think this is a valid question. I

1191
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:33,759
Speaker 4: want to see what you guys are thinking about this.

1192
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 9: Yeah.

1193
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:37,320
Speaker 7: I actually had kind of a similar thought earlier this week.

1194
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 7: Rams have been playing really good football recently, and the

1195
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:41,799
Speaker 7: Seahawks obviously been playing really well too.

1196
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 5: I think it's the Steelers this week that was like

1197
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 5: the one phenomenally.

1198
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 7: But the Steelers are a good team too. I mean,

1199
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 7: that's a that's a tough team to beat, no matter

1200
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 7: who you are. I think if you're a Cowboys fan,

1201
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 7: you're rooting for Green Bay to be able to take

1202
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 7: that seventh spot this week, which, in order for that

1203
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,359
Speaker 7: to happen, you would need the Niners to sit their

1204
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,479
Speaker 7: starters against the Rams in the Rams to go ahead

1205
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 7: and win that game and get.

1206
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:01,760
Speaker 9: The six seeds.

1207
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:03,880
Speaker 7: So I think the Packers is probably the best matchup

1208
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 7: that you have there and the way that happens Green

1209
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:08,359
Speaker 7: Bay wins and the Rams win this.

1210
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 8: Week, I would agree with the Packers thing, even though

1211
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 8: I know there's probably little PTSD with Cowboys.

1212
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, there definitely is.

1213
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is walking through that door, though it's tough.

1214
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 8: I mean, outside of just being able to avoid San Francisco,

1215
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 8: that would be my number one if you're just listing things.

1216
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 8: Number two is just get home field without like I mean,

1217
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 8: I just I've never seen this team play so well

1218
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:31,840
Speaker 8: at home, like in terms of I know, they're not

1219
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 8: blowing out everybody like they were earlier in the season,

1220
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 8: but they're just they're just a way better team. They're

1221
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 8: just more confidence with the way that they play everything

1222
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:41,399
Speaker 8: about it. I would, you know, ten out of ten times,

1223
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:44,360
Speaker 8: I'd pick whatever the home field advantages that round that

1224
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 8: whatever we got to take there, that's what you take.

1225
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 4: And it also plays a factor going into the second round.

1226
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 4: Instead of going on the road against Detroit, we're going

1227
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:57,399
Speaker 4: on the road against somebody else. It completely upends everything else. Yes,

1228
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 4: you got to win the first game first. I completely agree,

1229
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,319
Speaker 4: and I think think being at home helps you in

1230
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 4: that regard to I would take it goes back to

1231
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:06,359
Speaker 4: what you said early in the show, and I think

1232
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 4: this was a phenomenal point. Right off the top is

1233
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 4: the fact that any other season playing at home, I

1234
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 4: don't think it's that big of the deal for the

1235
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 4: Cowboys specifically, but this year it matters.

1236
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 5: It absolutely matters.

1237
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 4: And it does change the way I think Cowboys fans

1238
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 4: should look at the playoffs moving forward. And they've got

1239
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,839
Speaker 4: a chance to wrap up some early home field advantage

1240
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:32,799
Speaker 4: with a win against Washington on Sunday, Sunday.

1241
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:33,360
