From there, the opening kickoff, 23 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: I said, I'm gonna willing go to the game ended. 24 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: If the game ended after the opening kickoff, I win 25 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: the pick to click Tony Pollard. So he didn't think 26 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: much of his four carries for eleven yards, no or 27 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: one one catch? Wait, you had one catch for thirty 28 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: two yards. There you go. I don't even remember it 29 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: was that at the end. Yeah, it was. I do recall, 30 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 1: and it was a drop pass right off the bat. 31 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 1: I do remember that. I remember, I do recall everything 32 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 1: that we said, if it's gonna go wrong, this is 33 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: how it's going to happen. Then Denver was listening because 34 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: it happened. You know, like I said, quarterback, solid quarterback. 35 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: What was the key to Denver's victory? The old line, 36 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: the trenches, and they were playing with basically the most 37 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: of the entire game with three backup offensive linemen. Well, 38 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: their backup offensive lineman did a better job than the 39 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 1: Cowboys and their defensive linemen. Man, I don't know these guys. 40 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: I waited. At one point during the game, Tyron Smith 41 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,519 Speaker 1: is a pretty good player. Ye there you go, And 42 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: Terrence Steele's probably not ready for the Ring of Honor. 43 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: Just just and see. That's why I asked the question 44 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: last week. Are we going to give him the same 45 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: help like we've been covering for him? Didn't give him enough? Well, 46 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 1: now the help wasn't good. I don't even know what 47 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: to tell you. I don't Well, you can pick this 48 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: whole thing apart, but let me tell you this little 49 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: story before the game. I use it for my lead 50 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: to my column for today. I'm in the press box 51 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,959 Speaker 1: about hour before the kickoff and Babe Laufenberg comes walking 52 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: by and he looks at me and he goes, tell 53 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: me this. He goes, why am I nervous about this game? 54 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: That I wasn't nervous all week? Like you know, I 55 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: wasn't nervous about this game. Now suddenly I am. And 56 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: I said, I'll tell you why. I got tell you 57 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: my my little NFL theory. The more you win, the 58 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: closer are losing. Right, And he looked at me and 59 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: he goes, I like that. I like that the percentages 60 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: At some point you as you got a field goal 61 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: thing that you on the scene. Yeah, and the more 62 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: you kicked closer yard to lose. So basically you're like 63 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: a gloom and doom doo. No, I'm very real thing, 64 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: and I don't need analytics to have a number for this. 65 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: I just you can just sense it that if you 66 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: won sixth straight, at some point you're gonna lose one. 67 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: You know what I have I you in one note, 68 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: number two defense in scoring remember that. Yeah, yeah, we 69 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: talked about that last way. That's crazy. Number two scoring 70 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 1: defense in the league. Vic Fangio's unit at Denver, and 71 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: he was pretty fired up. He was especially Okay, well, 72 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: just you've mentioned or Everson did about the kicking field goals, 73 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: So just go right to the second possession for the Cowboys, 74 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: fourth and two at the twenty yard line. What do 75 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: you do, Mickey? That was the That was the play 76 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: where Fangio was so fired up after the incompletion, and 77 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: I got some things I want to read to you 78 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: about all that. Um I I was, I was good 79 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: going for it. I know you probably should take the 80 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 1: field goal there, but you got the number one offense 81 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: in the National Football League, the number two rushing offense, 82 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: and the number three passing offense. And I'm I'm not 83 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: kicking a field goal that close. I gotta go. And 84 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: even after even after the other one and the first one, okay, 85 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: take back to the first one. I had no problem 86 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: at all going forward fourth and one after that one 87 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: because and even from a strategic standpoint, okay, it was 88 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: like Pollard's kick return was your punt. If you didn't 89 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: make it, you know, you took over the position. Yeah, yeah, 90 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: now you can make the case where you can punt 91 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: them down or whatever. But I had no problem at 92 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: all on that one the second one. So here's what 93 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: kind of got in my mind. After they missed the 94 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: second one. I started thinking, Oh, guess what Denver's thinking. 95 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: They disrespected us. They thought they were just going to 96 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: come in here and everything's gonna wear us, right everything, 97 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: We're not good enough. So I didn't see this until 98 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 1: this morning. So let me read you a couple of 99 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 1: these things. Tim Patrick. I had no idea who Tim 100 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: Patrick was until he catches a forty four yard touchdown 101 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 1: pass digs L Defensive Player of the Year the year. 102 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: So here's what he said about when he was asked, 103 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: Yeah right, still anyway, here's what he said about the 104 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: fact that they actually went for the fourth downs disrespectful. 105 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: That as disrespectful. They're trying us, and that's what happens 106 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: when you try us. Teddy Bridgewater, you take the field 107 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: with a little anger, honestly said of the team going 108 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: for it on the fourth down, it's like, hey man, 109 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: they're going for it because they're saying our offense is 110 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: not going to score or something. We talked about it 111 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 1: in the huddle. We use that as motivation. It was 112 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: one of those deals where you take the field and okay, 113 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: you have a little added motivation to it. You can 114 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: see that today. And then Fangio says, everybody wants to 115 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: go for it on fourth down, right, fourth and one, 116 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: fourth and two. They cite all the numbers, so on 117 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: and so forth. But when you don't get them, it hurts. 118 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: And we were the beneficiary of the hurt. And he 119 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: took advantage of that after they and that's why he 120 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: was so fired up after they stopped him on the 121 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: fourth and the second, fourth and two, and so they 122 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,679 Speaker 1: played and smart coaching, I mean smart for the team 123 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: to and you know part of that too. Even coming 124 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: into the game. You know what they were hearing in Denver. 125 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: They just traded away the face of the franchise, and 126 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: and those players, they're not waving a white flag. And 127 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: they can't beat a team with at least a five 128 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: hundred record. They excuse me. They lose to all the 129 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: teams that are five hundred or better, and they beat 130 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: all the teams with losing records. And I'm sure they 131 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: heard all of it. And when that those those fourth 132 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: down plays and then they stopped him on third and 133 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: one also forced the punt that time, I'm sure that 134 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: they were fired up, and it added motivation. I gotta say, man, 135 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: you know as a form of player that that kind 136 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: of kills me, It really does. I just got a 137 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 1: problem with this, uh selected motivation. Yeah, well I understand, 138 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: but losses me. Come on, but but but in the game, yeah, 139 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: the game four, I don't I don't go for you 140 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: get telling, those are the four games that you lost. 141 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: You weren't motiva. You weren't motiva. We're just gonna it's 142 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: like the uh what they called the frog in the 143 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: the crab in the in the water. Yea, you just 144 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: heat up slowly, Okay, we just he we disrespect you slowly. 145 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: So then you're just gonna lay down. Let's kick your butt. 146 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 1: But we turned up to fire a little bit and 147 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,559 Speaker 1: disrespect you out rightly. Then all of a sudden, you're 148 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: fired up. So we'll okay to lose as long as 149 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: you don't disrespect us. So we're okay with Lucy the 150 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: the But those things that got that team excited. Not 151 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:21,199 Speaker 1: only that, but half the crowd was Bronco fans, Cowboy 152 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: fans sold out. There was more orange than that. I 153 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: thought it was Halloween all over again. They looked like 154 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,079 Speaker 1: a bunch of that's the first time that happens. I mean, 155 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: Jerry's world is a vacation. No, it's a it's it's 156 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: the cowboy fans selling out to make money on a 157 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: game they weren't interested in. Yeah, I was there, and 158 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: I was interested until I wasn't. You know, it's bad 159 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 1: when they kick a field goal and you can't tell 160 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: if it was good or not by the crowd reaction 161 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: because both sides were cheering one way or the other. 162 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: And that was that was a that was shameful. Okay, Okay. 163 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,079 Speaker 1: After the fourth and two, what at Denver do they 164 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: drove eighty yards for a touchdown? Eighty yards and eleven plays, 165 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: and eight of those plays were running plays. Yep. That 166 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: was the key to this victory is Denver's ability to 167 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: run the foot. They ran for one hundred ninety two yards. 168 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: That's right. I have here in my notes Melvin Flash, 169 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: Gordon and I didn't say this. I'm listening to what 170 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: you guys said last week. Melvin Flash over one hundred 171 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,439 Speaker 1: I think a four hundred yards on the season. He's 172 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: right right under Williams four hundred yards. He has over 173 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: four hundred, just a little under Gordon. But it was 174 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: both about both of them. We talked about. These are 175 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: the notes I took coming from you guys Mouth, Jeffonte, 176 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: Matt Truck, Williams, Man and Man. I remember leading up 177 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: to the draft. Leading up to the draft, I was 178 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: looking at his North Carolina tape. I was going, Wow, 179 00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: this guy is and then Will McClay showed me on 180 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: the tellustrator three plays if you watch the Mike McCarthy Show, 181 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,439 Speaker 1: and is available on Dallas Cowboys dot Com the Athleticism 182 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: and he was on display on Sunday afternoon at at 183 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: and T Stadium too. So they paid the players on 184 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: the other team, Well, yeah, absolutely. Stephen Steven pointed that 185 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:25,719 Speaker 1: out this morning too. By the way. But again they 186 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 1: took advantage of what would be our normal worries. Right. 187 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: They took advantage of Terrence Steele at left tackle. We 188 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: saw Lell Collins okay, and then as the game wore on, 189 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: he looked like he wore down too, and everybody wanted 190 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: to know, well, I didn't he play last week? Right? Well, 191 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: you got your answer, right. And then the other thing 192 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: we've been worried about was the and we thought they 193 00:11:55,600 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: solved it in Minnesota the way they played defensively, right, Well, 194 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, as I said, just when you 195 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: thought it was safe to come out in the dark, 196 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: the Boogeyman got you right. They couldn't stop the run 197 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: on the edges. The defensive ends got taken advantage of. 198 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: You know, they sort of stayed away from Randy Gregory's side, 199 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 1: but boy, they attacked whoever was playing defensive end on 200 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: the other side. We thought, you know, Goldston was coming along, Armstrong, 201 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: all oxnar right, bash them. Those guys couldn't. They couldn't 202 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: hold the edge against the run. And they were making 203 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: a concerted effort to go right there. So and you 204 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: had your linebackers working there, yes, and they were on 205 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 1: their own because the offensive line was getting to them right. 206 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 1: And then the other thing that I'd been harping on 207 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,599 Speaker 1: all year last week it disappeared, but boy did it 208 00:12:54,679 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: come back, giving up chunk plays, big plays. And as 209 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: I counted here, they had seven plays of nineteen yards 210 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: or more. And let me count them for you. Teddy 211 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: Bridgewater forty four yard touchdown pass to Tim Patrick. Who, Yeah, 212 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: I'll give you another. Who Tendy Bridgewater over the middle 213 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 1: forty yards Kellen hinting, Kendall hitting, See sorry, Kendall, thank 214 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: you for Javonte Williams thirty yard run. Jerry Yeah, that 215 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: was where he dragged he like Jim Brown, I just 216 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: hate that thing. Okay, by talking about the peanut tilman 217 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: punch or whatever. You gotta have the guy on the 218 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,439 Speaker 1: control before you start trying and they're grab you. Gotta 219 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 1: get you, you take you, get him under control, I 220 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,559 Speaker 1: come and punch you. Gotta be coordinated. If we're doing 221 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: it that way, you're never getting a bunch yet. Javonte 222 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: Williams run twenty yards, pass to Jerry Judy twenty yards. Oh, 223 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: Tim Patrick pass nineteen yards, seventeen yards, seventeen yards, sixteen 224 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: yards That's what I had worried about up until Minnesota 225 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: because they lived in them to three plays of twenty 226 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: yards or more. And in this game, it they didn't 227 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: get any takeaways right, and the defense just couldn't hold up. 228 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: But if Bill has a chance, go back to the 229 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: eighty one season, we were going well, so so well, 230 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: you know, we lost maybe a game or so, and 231 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: my season was going well, you know, interceptions and all 232 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: of that. You know, he gets some, they get song. 233 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: That's Tom Langie's quote. We went up there and to 234 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: Campbellstick Park nineteen eighty one mid season. Who were they 235 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: laid it on us so bad? That was it was 236 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: this game. It was like we were I think we 237 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: had They had thirty plus points, songs before we could blink. 238 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: First time we'd ever seen the West Coast offense. There 239 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: was week six weeks said first time we've ever seen 240 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: the West Coast offense, and that thank god for the 241 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: experience we had on the team and things of that nature. 242 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: But man, they ride home, that flight home, that was 243 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: a tough flight home, and you could we were kind 244 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: of jacking joking about it, but you could tell underneath 245 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: that it was that shook us. Final score was forty 246 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: five to fourteen. That shook us bad in a season 247 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: that they finished twelve and twelve and four. But we 248 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: had experience, okay, we had a special team also, of 249 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: course the veterans coming along with us young guys. This 250 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: is this is the this is the moment where we 251 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: always talked about it for this game and weeks before. 252 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,359 Speaker 1: How are you going to handle this type of situation? 253 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: So there's always a unique hurdle to clear. This is 254 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: one of those moments, and obviously the most crucial of 255 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: this season. Where do you go from here? You know, 256 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: we can say all we can forget about it, and 257 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: I was gonna come in joking about what game that 258 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: was gonna be my joke to that, because games like that, 259 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: you coaches don't even want to watch them anymore, So 260 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: how are they going to handle this from from here? 261 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: That's what coaching comes in on this and some leadership. 262 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: You don't have to see that. And you know what 263 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: you did the next four games after that San Francisco 264 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: game or what's that You're won and then you lost 265 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: one and then you won four more, so you won 266 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: eight of the next nine games, and of course made 267 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: it to the NFC Championship. Yeah, so there you go. 268 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: The more you win, you're gonna lose one at some point. Yeah, 269 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: she's not gonna win them all. And how do you 270 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: count for all the goofiness? Right, all the goofiness that 271 00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: took place. Um, you know, we'll get to the punt. 272 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 1: That's probably a segment on its own. Teddy Bridgewater on 273 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: the quarterback sneak for the touchdown, he's not going anywhere. 274 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: What happened to forward progress? Right? And then he reaches 275 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 1: up and the ball gets knocked out and you still 276 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 1: can't tell if he broke the main all of a sudden. 277 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 1: They're so good at getting it right. Yeah on the 278 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 1: gold line, how did they see even the overhead you 279 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: can't tell. But no, stop forward progress, just let him 280 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: keep going nowhere and then he leaps and the ball 281 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: gets knocked out. But that was typical of what was 282 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: going on that day. I know we got to go 283 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: to break, and I'll lead you to break by saying, 284 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,719 Speaker 1: even when you block a punt, it didn't turn out well. Okay, 285 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,439 Speaker 1: sounds like Mickey wants to talk about the block punt 286 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: when we come back here on Mix Shots.

And 335 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: he says, and you know if he improves upon um 336 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: that early in the week, maybe he'd get in the practice. 337 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,719 Speaker 1: He also sounded like, uh, they can get Michael Gallop 338 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: back this week. So he said, we missed Tyring yesterday 339 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 1: and get Michael Gallop back this week. So and they 340 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 1: have to make the move this week because this is 341 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: his third week of practicing. And then you got to 342 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: make a decide who Michael gallup because he's on Indian reserve. 343 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 1: So you said Thanksgiving, Remember I asked you about you 344 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: really want Tyron Smith to play against Atlanta. Yes, we 345 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: don't need to remember back to A twenty seventeen. The 346 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: guy made all the money he needed to make that 347 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 1: because he got a big five, No, five, four or five? 348 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: They had seven, I think seven or eight. I think 349 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: he seemed like I thought he had sixteen. I thought 350 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: he had more than I thought. It was five and 351 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: and and they weren't all on Chaz Green because the 352 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 1: backup came in and yeah, he didn't do nothing. Yeah, 353 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 1: he went backup, back up to the back. How he 354 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 1: did look like, hey, so here's the thing before we 355 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: move on into the punt. What the heck is going 356 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 1: on with dad man? What the heck? Was not a 357 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: good talk? To me? A conspiracy? I just just to 358 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: uh on clay Adrian Clayborne. It was six sacks, it was. 359 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: It was six sacks against the Cowboys. So well maybe 360 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,919 Speaker 1: it was six, but it wasn't. They weren't all against 361 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: chen Yeah, I'm sure I think he was. He got 362 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: four on Chaz Green, one and another guy and then 363 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: one was just he looped into the middle and they 364 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 1: didn't pick it up. So how many did they finish 365 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: in the game? Then it was it eight? Yep, yep, yep. 366 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: I remember that magic number. No, No, Well, I'll have 367 00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: to look it up. It's longer. That's okay, never mind, 368 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 1: now go ahead. I was asked about what the heck's 369 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,199 Speaker 1: going on with Dak and these throws. Well, I mean, 370 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,399 Speaker 1: I know that there was pressure a bit, but there 371 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,120 Speaker 1: were times when you know, you expect so much more, right, 372 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 1: and now of course you're gonna want deal. Okay, Well 373 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: do you trow with your your calf or do you 374 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,880 Speaker 1: use your hips more? And well was that part of it? 375 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 1: See he moved well enough to dispel what I was 376 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: thinking early because he was high, and I'm thinking, when 377 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,679 Speaker 1: you throw flat footed, you're high, right because you're not 378 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:36,919 Speaker 1: pushing off your back foot. But the times he scrambled 379 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: and moved around the one to ceedee lamb, I just think, 380 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 1: let's touch down. But see, here's the deal. Some of 381 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: those that other than the fourth was at the fourth 382 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,199 Speaker 1: and two one he missed. He came short, and he 383 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: kind of explained that he changed his arm slot because 384 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: he thought he was gonna hit the other guy, so 385 00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: it was almost like a one hop. But some of 386 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: those that you thought he'd hit, like, you don't make 387 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: a living on throwing the ball on the run. And 388 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 1: the reason he's throwing the ball on the run. Was 389 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: the pocket continued to break down? Yes, yes, and and 390 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: so okay, yeah, he threw the ball on the run 391 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: for the winning touchdown passing overtime against New England. But 392 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: you're not going to make a living off of throwing 393 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 1: those passes. And he was off, He was long so 394 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: many times, and just watching him in the pocket, I 395 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: don't think he ever got comfortable. There were very few 396 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 1: times he stood in the pocket, look, look, and then 397 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,959 Speaker 1: stepped in and through because he didn't have time for that. Now, 398 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: while he didn't get all those sacks in there, he's 399 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 1: the number one passer with pressure well, and this pressure 400 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 1: I know, but this pressure just seemed to and they 401 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 1: blitzed a little, but not that you know what it was. 402 00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 1: They were playing that wide nine deal, especially on passing 403 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: downs where they widened out their defensive ends and then 404 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,640 Speaker 1: they crashed in which Number one kind of kept him 405 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 1: in the pocket and number two gave the tackles just 406 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 1: an awful lot of trouble. But I just say his 407 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 1: feet were never quiet in the pocket. They kept moving 408 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: pepper like that. They go again, you get that once, 409 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: They only get that once. But that's What happened, you remember, 410 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 1: I don't remember what year it was, is a game 411 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: against Philadelphia mid season. Dak had an off night. It's 412 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: just his second or third year. It's either twenty seventeen, 413 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: twenty eight, I can't remember. And his footwork was off, 414 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: and he came back the next week and was right 415 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: on target with everything. And I think, and I know 416 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: nothing about it, I say, okay, but it's just a 417 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: theory that I have. When you look back at his 418 00:25:53,960 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: bill is conspiracy. I wrote that right at the last 419 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 1: three weeks. Well, what's he been doing the last three 420 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 1: weeks after the calf injury? Okay, he got the buye 421 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: week and he's rehabbing that. Okay, he's not working on 422 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: his footwork that week. The next week it's kind of 423 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,439 Speaker 1: the same deal. He's doing a lot of stuff, but 424 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 1: he's not working on footwork and passing the football. So 425 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: there's basically two weeks now. He's back this week. And 426 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: I think with him, and with most every quarterback there 427 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 1: is that it gets underestimated how much footwork matters in 428 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: their accuracy and so forth. And I think what you're 429 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: going to see is he's going to put his nose 430 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: to the grindstone like he always does this week, and 431 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 1: he is going to be right back where we have 432 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: seen him the first half of this season, where his 433 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: accuracy is right on and stuff. But that playing a 434 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: factor in that is the fact that he wasn't sure, 435 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: you know, the pocket is collapsing on him and so 436 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: and then to make matters worse. At one point in 437 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,360 Speaker 1: the game, I think I wrote this down. They had 438 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: as many first down No, they had as many drop 439 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 1: passes as they had first downs, five five of each. 440 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 1: That's crazy, man, How do you, Michael? I mean the 441 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,360 Speaker 1: Murray Cooper right through the bread basket? Right? How does 442 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: that happen? I was waiting to hear Bills. Bill's whole 443 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 1: thing shoals, the whole lam, The whole weekend was crazy. Bill. 444 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: That's why what Bill is an expiracy theory. You got something, man? Okay, 445 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: So what the heck? All weekend wells and this is 446 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:39,119 Speaker 1: in the stars, right, let me let me support you know, 447 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 1: in this league, you know, every week, strange stuff happens. Right, 448 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: So the Cowboys basically thirty to nothing right before they 449 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: get two gifts touchdowns. Atlanta goes to New Orleans and 450 00:27:53,560 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 1: wins Jacksonville. Jacksonville beats Buffalo and holds them to six points. 451 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,880 Speaker 1: Josh Allen is supposed to be the player of the year. 452 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: When was this play? The game? Was that Jacksonville? But 453 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: what kind of home field advantage do they have? Cleveland 454 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: goes to Cincinnati with all their turmoil and beats the Bengals, 455 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 1: holds into sixteen in first place in the division. The 456 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 1: Giants beat Las Vegas. They had won two in a row. 457 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:30,439 Speaker 1: Rich Basach is not undefeated anymore. Baltimore has to go 458 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: into overtime to beat Minnesota, the team that we stomped 459 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: right with a backup quarterback, Kansas City takes out Green Bay. 460 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: Now I can understand. No, you know, Rogers, that was 461 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: an ugly game all the way, but they beat them 462 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: thirteen looks so bad they only scored thirteen points. I agree. 463 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: And then last night Tennessee goes into La and beats 464 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: the Rams. That to me was just as alarming as 465 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: the Cowboys and Buffalo game. Look, I mean, look at all, 466 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: how do you make sense of and the Chargers. By 467 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 1: the way, he had to go right down to the 468 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,719 Speaker 1: wire to beat Philadelphia. We gotta be careful with Philly guys. Right, 469 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 1: they're gonna give us a weird stuff happens in this league. 470 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: You know when just when you think four teams were 471 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: favored by seven points or more loss got beat. Just 472 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: when you think you got this thing figured out, it 473 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: comes back and says, not so fast. All right, I've 474 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: got a flashback for you. This reminds me of Barry 475 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: Switzer at a press conference in nineteen ninety four or 476 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: whatever he was. You know how Barry it his press conferences. 477 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 1: He'd uh, he'd lose his train of thoughts, and then 478 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: he'd say, I just had a flashback, he said, A 479 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 1: Fireman's fun flashback. You remember that at all? You remember 480 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: the fireman's fack? Yeah, all right, I've got for you 481 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: right here it is, if you can see it here America, 482 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: a Fireman's fun flash back. We take you back to 483 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 1: Week nine of last season. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers play 484 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints. The six win Tampa Bay Buccaneers 485 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: against the Saints and what was the final score, thirty 486 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 1: eight to nothing. The Saints beat the Buccaneers. What happened 487 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 1: to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers the rest of the season. 488 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: They eventually got on a roll and won the Super Bowl. 489 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: Now let me take you back fifty one years ago 490 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: to nineteen seventy Everson, you remember this at the Cotton 491 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: Bowl in Dallas Monday Night football. It was week nine 492 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: of the season. Just like this was week nine of 493 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: the season and the Cowboys were playing the Saint Louis 494 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: Cardinals and the final score of that game thirty eight 495 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 1: to nothing. The Cowboys lost. In the fourth quarter of 496 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 1: that game, Cowboys fans of the Cotton Bowl were chanting, 497 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: we want Dandy, we want Dandy. Dandy. Don Meredith was 498 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: in the ABC Monday Night Football booth his first Cowboy 499 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: game that he ever did as a Monday Night football announcer. 500 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 1: What happened to the Cowboys the rest of that season? 501 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: They went on a roll and went all the way 502 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl, and not four a ridiculous call 503 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 1: by Jack Fettie in that Super Bowl against Baltimore, the 504 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 1: Cowboys would have won their first World chap That would 505 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 1: be the double tip that and on the goal line 506 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 1: the day Manders recovered a fumble on the goal line 507 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 1: Fireman's fun flashback, And do you remember when they asked 508 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: Dandy Don in the booth? So they want you back, 509 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 1: do you want to go down there? And he goes, hell, 510 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:43,239 Speaker 1: no not. So you got your conspiracy theory. It's a 511 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: week nine deal in NFL history, okay. And I was 512 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 1: thinking of that when it was thirty to nothing. In fact, 513 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 1: I was halfway rooting for Denver to score another touchdown 514 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 1: to make it thirty seven to nothing and it would 515 00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 1: be really like nineteen seventy all over again. Yeah, absolutely, So, 516 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: all right, there you have it. Do you like that? 517 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: I like, I love It's going to be part of 518 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 1: it to tease. So it was a good thing. It 519 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 1: happened yesterday. This team's gonna get on a roll. Now. 520 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: I'm glad it happened before I'd say week thirteen, you 521 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 1: know what I mean, fifteen something like. And having said 522 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: all that, when I look at the standings here, so 523 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: two teams seven and one in the NFC, Green Bay, 524 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 1: Arizona and six and two Cowboys, six and two, Tampa 525 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 1: Bay five and two New Orleans and seven and two Rams, 526 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 1: and the AFC only one team is seven and two 527 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 1: and that's Tennessee. Yeah, it looked pretty good last night. 528 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 1: Then they did, especially on the road without Derrick Henry, right, so, 529 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 1: and then Now that's funny. How you look at our 530 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: schedule now as it comes up all of a sudden. 531 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 1: That's like in some urgency. Because we always talk to 532 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: abody on this show. No one's gonna keep on losing. 533 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: No one's gonna keep on winning. That's just the way 534 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: it is. So now, all of a sudden, Falcons look good. Yeah, 535 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 1: that game doesn't look so easy now, you know. Now 536 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 1: we're looking at you know, Saints looking good. Maybe they'll 537 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: come out over confidence. Whoever quarterbacks for the Saints. We 538 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: have to go there and win. So now, all of 539 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 1: a sudden, and the weaknesses in between that chack Kansas 540 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 1: City Thanksgiving against the Raiders come on. Yeah, Now, all 541 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 1: of a sudden, they're looking old cowboys in trouble. Well, 542 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 1: the first she was saying, look how easy that schedule is. 543 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, it's now, oh, look at these 544 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 1: next four games. Were saying, he's a easy game. So 545 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 1: I love I love the EBB and flow. Don't get 546 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: ahead of yourself, right, just play it all right, we're 547 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: going to examine the punt in the third quarter.

Okay, Mickey, do you have a schedule 591 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 1: for today? What's happening today? Mike McCarthy has a press 592 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:39,520 Speaker 1: conference at three pm three less than an hour away. 593 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 1: The coordinators to follow usually around four four thirty something 594 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 1: like that, and the players come in and get their 595 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 1: run in and they have their meetings. I don't know 596 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:55,239 Speaker 1: if they're gonna watch tape or you're gonna burn it, 597 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:59,520 Speaker 1: burn it? What do you do that? Well, I'm watching 598 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:04,400 Speaker 1: it because I still don't think this team has accomplished 599 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,800 Speaker 1: anything to be sitting there strutting along and go, okay, 600 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 1: that's that's. That's that he You know, even Tom probably 601 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 1: got along, because when this happened with us, there were 602 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 1: times when Tom would just say forget it. But most 603 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 1: of the time, either you're gonna they're gonna throw it 604 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 1: away or it's gonna be the longest film day that 605 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:26,279 Speaker 1: you've had. Because offense, defense, and special teams will be 606 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,720 Speaker 1: in the same rule. So everybody will get the gist 607 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:34,360 Speaker 1: of the criticism. You know, Fangio's comment about the Cowboys offense, 608 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 1: it was pretty complimentary, like they are really good, and 609 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 1: he goes and the other teams didn't figure out how 610 00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 1: to stop him. He didn't say we did. He goes in, 611 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 1: how do you stop all that talent? He goes in, 612 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 1: I guarantee you they'll continue scoring thirty five points a game, 613 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,879 Speaker 1: and uh, they won't have another game like that, will 614 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 1: They will not? But he said we rose to the 615 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,239 Speaker 1: occasion to the point where I guess he started his 616 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 1: press conference off was well, how about those Broncos? He 617 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 1: goes In't that what Jimmy Johnson used to say? See 618 00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:14,279 Speaker 1: how long he stays up like that? Yeah? With his 619 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 1: with his job, well, I think he wouldn't have any 620 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,839 Speaker 1: problem if he's okay being a defensive coordinate. There's been 621 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 1: one for thirty five years in this league. Yeah, or 622 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,880 Speaker 1: one stint in college at Stanford. All right, um, punt 623 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,920 Speaker 1: pun Before the punt, Before Stevens say anything about Zeke 624 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:39,400 Speaker 1: in his knee, he said that he didn't feel like 625 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,399 Speaker 1: they came out of the game with him, or maybe 626 00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:45,719 Speaker 1: they didn't even ask him about Zeke with any injury concerns. 627 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,799 Speaker 1: So it was a bruise. Um, I think they were 628 00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:52,640 Speaker 1: putting a heating pad on it or something. So I 629 00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:54,879 Speaker 1: think you can deal with a bruise better to deal 630 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,920 Speaker 1: with a sprain. And the way he was running towards 631 00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 1: the end, I mean, I'm sure sore today, but it 632 00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 1: didn't seem like it limited to many, although it was 633 00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,400 Speaker 1: concerning early in the game. And by the way, Cowboys 634 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,439 Speaker 1: fans are hoping the Broncos keep this role going for them. 635 00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 1: They beat Washington last week, Dallas this week, and they've 636 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,960 Speaker 1: got Philadelphia coming up this week. So go ahead, and 637 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,560 Speaker 1: Bronchos and knock yourself out. Keep doing your things. Philly 638 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,920 Speaker 1: and the Giants are now just three games back instead 639 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,040 Speaker 1: of three. Oh I can, I can. I can feel 640 00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:31,680 Speaker 1: their breath on my nick all right now. The blocked punt, boy, 641 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:35,000 Speaker 1: that was gonna be a great momentum changer in this game. 642 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 1: It was just typical of the day, right, what what 643 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:41,279 Speaker 1: could go wrong? Even when you did something right, ends 644 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 1: up going wrong. They they're gonna they're blocked the punt, 645 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,760 Speaker 1: They're gonna get the ball back inside the twenty yard line. 646 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 1: You score there. I think it was sixteen to nothing 647 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 1: that point. Malik Turner, the wide receivers touchdown, two touchdowns, 648 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,600 Speaker 1: comes right through through the middle, blocks it and doesn't 649 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,719 Speaker 1: get at all. But it flutters up and goes over 650 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:08,000 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage and Nashan Wright standing there and 651 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:09,920 Speaker 1: he sees the ball coming by and he goes to 652 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,319 Speaker 1: grab it, grab the butterfly. And yeah, it was a 653 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,799 Speaker 1: weird spin on it because yeah, because of the block, right, 654 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,400 Speaker 1: it wouldn't like he could just catch it deflects it. It 655 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,480 Speaker 1: It was. It was actually coming like almost upwards, and 656 00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:23,799 Speaker 1: the deflection made it a live ballum So it was 657 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 1: not considered a block punt. It was. It was considered 658 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,400 Speaker 1: a muff How about that. It's the block punt, but 659 00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,920 Speaker 1: once it goes past the line of scrimmage, it becomes 660 00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 1: like a punt, and so that is a muffed punt. 661 00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:43,000 Speaker 1: He doesn't even get first person in history to kits 662 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:46,920 Speaker 1: what two touchdowns, two touchdowns, block a punt one game 663 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,800 Speaker 1: the first time? And how about this? Because of that, 664 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 1: so the punt ends up going like technically three yards. 665 00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,959 Speaker 1: That poor punter's punting average, there's thirty one yards a punt. 666 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,960 Speaker 1: He'll take it he'll take the win, I'm sure. So 667 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,400 Speaker 1: the weird the weird thing on that is, so you 668 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:12,520 Speaker 1: block it, you recover it, and you get a first down, 669 00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:16,640 Speaker 1: like the possession changed, right, So my thought is, like, 670 00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:20,319 Speaker 1: what happens if you block it? The ball goes up 671 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,880 Speaker 1: and it comes down on some poor s OB's head. 672 00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:29,239 Speaker 1: It's a muff muff. You can't You're not gonna call 673 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:30,920 Speaker 1: may day and all of a sudden the guys on 674 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:34,759 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage are gonna start scrambling, right, So 675 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,959 Speaker 1: that that's the only thing that well about the rule. 676 00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:40,880 Speaker 1: But it is what it is. No, it is, and 677 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,279 Speaker 1: they can't. You can't all of a sudden that's say, well, 678 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,239 Speaker 1: we need to change that rule. No, you don't need 679 00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:48,520 Speaker 1: to change the rule. Well, somebody suggested that to McCarthy afterwards, 680 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:50,279 Speaker 1: and he goes, I ain't gonna do us any good 681 00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,560 Speaker 1: to day. I it's gonna happen again. I mean, you'd 682 00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,480 Speaker 1: be lucky if it does. Well. You do have the 683 00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,480 Speaker 1: option of stopping them after they recover. The best true 684 00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,520 Speaker 1: you do when to do it. And then they drove 685 00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:05,120 Speaker 1: for a field goal, right, made nineteen to and even 686 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,120 Speaker 1: at night there was the thirty yard run was right 687 00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:11,560 Speaker 1: after that, right, Yeah, the two players. I'm still feeling 688 00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,600 Speaker 1: good at nineteen nothing. Yes, I was too. I was thinking, okay, 689 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,120 Speaker 1: they're gonna you know, but the key thing was is 690 00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:21,719 Speaker 1: you were down sixteen to nothing. You did squat in 691 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:25,120 Speaker 1: the first half, you got them three and out, You're 692 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:28,359 Speaker 1: gonna get the ball you blocked it. Chances are you're 693 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,520 Speaker 1: gonna get the ball around the twenty yard line and 694 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,680 Speaker 1: if you score, go for two. It's sixteen eight ball 695 00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:36,400 Speaker 1: game on. Right. Imagine if you had kicked the field 696 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,759 Speaker 1: goal early in the game and then he did just 697 00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:42,000 Speaker 1: scored the touchdown and you kicked the extra point at 698 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:46,440 Speaker 1: sixteen ten. Right, it was the Mojoe moment that didn't 699 00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:50,399 Speaker 1: Joe h They got moved and that would have been 700 00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,840 Speaker 1: that could have been a huge momentum change in the 701 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:56,120 Speaker 1: game right there. Right, they're feeling down, they got a 702 00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:59,520 Speaker 1: punt block, you're feeling great. It's like a fifty four 703 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 1: yard kickoff return. Right, this is how we're starting the 704 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:05,480 Speaker 1: second half. And it was a it was a you know, 705 00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 1: it's funny you mentioned that about Babe. I was at 706 00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,640 Speaker 1: the game, and it wasn't odd feeling. It just really 707 00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:14,759 Speaker 1: was I just I don't know. I just did not 708 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:20,839 Speaker 1: feel comfortable. Uh. You we talked last week about fan hesitancy, right, 709 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:24,960 Speaker 1: You're like, hey, don't worry about yes why? And I 710 00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,360 Speaker 1: talked last week about it's time for us to believe 711 00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,120 Speaker 1: in the Cowboys, you know what I mean? So so 712 00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,839 Speaker 1: now right back where I was, well, no, because when 713 00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 1: you when you look at it, they needed a final 714 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:43,000 Speaker 1: minute touchdown to beat Minnesota, they needed over time to 715 00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:48,160 Speaker 1: beat New England, right, um, and they needed a walk 716 00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,800 Speaker 1: off field goal to beat San Diego. I mean San Diego, 717 00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:56,560 Speaker 1: the Chargers, yes, yes, right, And so it wasn't like 718 00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 1: they were just romping over the only people they romped 719 00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,560 Speaker 1: over or the NFC East teams, right, And I wasn't 720 00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,560 Speaker 1: worried about them womping over anyone. I liked the We 721 00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:09,000 Speaker 1: talked about the Mojo moment, right, we because we won 722 00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:12,640 Speaker 1: those games in such dramatic fashions, because that is our 723 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 1: creed right now, you know, we answer the bell, no 724 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,640 Speaker 1: matter what's going on before that. Now it's time to 725 00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:21,920 Speaker 1: make a play. Yesterday that just didn't exist. They couldn't 726 00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,960 Speaker 1: get the game into the final minute. But boy, they 727 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:29,719 Speaker 1: came on March, right, down and got two consecutive touchdowns. 728 00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,800 Speaker 1: So how many times in the game did the Cowboys 729 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:38,719 Speaker 1: defense get off the field without Denver scoring. I'm thinking 730 00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:44,920 Speaker 1: first possession the Denver had put then it was here's 731 00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:49,320 Speaker 1: the Denver's next possession was a touchdown. Denver's next possession 732 00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:53,319 Speaker 1: was a touchdown, and then Denver's next possession was a 733 00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,120 Speaker 1: field goal. And then came the final possession of the 734 00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,760 Speaker 1: half where they were just they weren't they were milking 735 00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,120 Speaker 1: the block, and then they got to the midfield and 736 00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,799 Speaker 1: then uh Parsons and Lewis got the sacked in the 737 00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:10,360 Speaker 1: half whatever. Okay, so there were I mean scoring drives, 738 00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:14,040 Speaker 1: but there were three, and so then you got there. 739 00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:16,440 Speaker 1: And then the first possession of the third quarter you 740 00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,600 Speaker 1: got you got out with the buck punt, and then 741 00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:21,640 Speaker 1: that happened. Well, then they proceed to go for a 742 00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:23,840 Speaker 1: field goal on that possession, of field goal on the 743 00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:27,360 Speaker 1: next possession, and then a touchdown on the next possession, 744 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:29,319 Speaker 1: and a field goal on the next possession, and there's 745 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:33,080 Speaker 1: your thirty points. So they had they had twelve possessions 746 00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:39,400 Speaker 1: and they scored on one, two, three, four, five, six. 747 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,919 Speaker 1: One was the end of game. One was a miss 748 00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:47,400 Speaker 1: field goal. So and one was the end of half 749 00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:52,040 Speaker 1: the punt. Is that considered a continuous drive? I don't know. 750 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:53,600 Speaker 1: I don't you say it an't in the field goal? 751 00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,560 Speaker 1: I don't. Well, let me see. So is that you know? 752 00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,760 Speaker 1: They went they went to fourth down, count the muffs 753 00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:07,000 Speaker 1: a successful fourth down try. No it so technically it 754 00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:11,680 Speaker 1: finished as a punt, and then the next possessions started 755 00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:16,000 Speaker 1: two yards behind where they where the other drive began 756 00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:20,600 Speaker 1: and ended in a field goal. So they yeah, it's 757 00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,160 Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's like a change of possessions, 758 00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:28,360 Speaker 1: like you turned the ball over, so but technically you 759 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,440 Speaker 1: didn't have the ball yourself, and so that's why the question. 760 00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:34,799 Speaker 1: So it was like it was like last year all 761 00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,080 Speaker 1: over well, they had the ball for almost seven minutes 762 00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,160 Speaker 1: and then had the ball for over forty one minutes 763 00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:43,560 Speaker 1: in the game. What's the what's the record? It's gotta 764 00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:48,080 Speaker 1: be record for time of possession versus points, versus points? 765 00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:51,800 Speaker 1: Is that what you mean? Or just few fewest few points, 766 00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:56,640 Speaker 1: fewest time of possession, right, fewest minutes, time of possession, points, 767 00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:59,080 Speaker 1: time off. It's in the media, guy or not here 768 00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,600 Speaker 1: you keep talking, So as you look for that. What 769 00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:05,960 Speaker 1: about the Josh Allen weirdness? You see that Josh Allen 770 00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:09,640 Speaker 1: sacking Josh Allen, Yes, not just sack, it was interception 771 00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:13,600 Speaker 1: and fund the recovery man. It's a weird day, weird day. 772 00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:14,920 Speaker 1: I just knew you were gonna come in with like 773 00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:18,239 Speaker 1: some type of well I did. I gave you a 774 00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,399 Speaker 1: fireman's fun flashback. If that's not that big a deal, 775 00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:26,719 Speaker 1: Week nine happens, Week nine happens in this late nine. 776 00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:31,560 Speaker 1: We tried that, tried. Think he's not gonna be I 777 00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,520 Speaker 1: don't think they have a time of possess. We'll have 778 00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,799 Speaker 1: that that your homework assignment for them all on your 779 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:40,319 Speaker 1: own show. That's right, okay, And so we are our 780 00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:45,239 Speaker 1: pastime here nothing and again.
