And he joins us that right now and a positive win for the Dallas -- is also last night and the other side of the you're here on the -- -- today Bob Wayman you know we're all happy well except for day.
About you know markets up.
Everybody's happy and we can talk about perfection a little bit what was -- about this team specifically.
Because you know is every year you get together you might have a strong team right didn't lose a game or two along the way but what was it was -- something in the caricatures the individual characters that made up the team and -- suspect a lot of teams have gotten close now.
Green -- Last year by the patriots a few that you patriots a few years ago that jives are my wanna my favorite teams now because the giants beat him in the super -- of course Jack kept unit and the -- -- -- paid man in bed.
It's like Coachella sets its that's why -- -- special.
Because.
There's only one team in the 92 year history.
The NFL that is -- and we did when when we were going through it.
We were just motivated by the loss in the Super -- to the cowboys the year before frank and we stunk it up -- we've got beat.
24 to three.
And we yes we got hammered so -- what was on us after the game than -- begin off season and then all of it was never about.
Going undefeated when we were six and oh or eight know or ten and no none of the questions were about.
Going undefeated it was always about -- you are you go to radio when when the Super Bowl this year.
Even after we won the super ball.
It wasn't paying worry we -- undefeated it was.
Bob I would not to play game next week and we one -- and then there's Super -- the world championship there -- that came clients but still no cigar in forty years do you think there will ever be another perfect season.
But I it's gonna be awful tough thing especially they increase the games from fourteen to sixteen -- they ever go from sixteen to eighteen.
I don't know if if if they ever do.
I'll just I'll.
Put -- my hand and pull up and say welcome to the mountaintop Tom Brady is a good friend of my son Brian they want to Michigan together we're at same time.
And about five years ago when they were in the Super Bowl undefeated -- texts -- and said.
Tom lose one would know this was before you got to the Super Bowl.
Whenever about general of twelve and -- Saddam who's won and now before you the rest of the way that would -- sort of desperate to super ball that's right yeah.
That is pretty funny but -- individual and immunity and remembers -- and and I guess Larry's Duncan other things to what was that did that individual -- what stood out about the the individuals who made up the collective unit.
Well I -- you know the defense was called the no name defense.
But I think the thing -- -- stay out with me is the fact that.
How bright the team was I I think this would.
I don't know the other teams that have gone down the road in the NFL.
But this had to be one of the smartest teams -- in NFL history even the defense even the defensive lineman.
And Manny Fernandez.
And they'll stand filling guys like that -- Dan herder we -- what -- -- was a middle linebacker Derek Scott.
Fun -- and renegade -- free safety but he was bright he was Smart so -- me what was special about the team I'd say.
That they were pretty Smart and helping his Coach -- back then this -- 72.
He he came up with the idea of situation substitutions now you watch a game last night.
You got certain guys play on first down right now second down.
-- go often more guys run and it in passing situation NASA's third down more guys go often certain guys come -- to run short yardage.
While he was the first guy to come up with the situation substitute member Mercury Mars -- -- and Jim kick.
He did that -- and and MR flattening in Jim -- -- -- -- The other thing he did was.
He had something called cheque with me rather a -- in the huddle and you guys -- my -- -- -- hard to play is double go are right near close tossed 38 there are 39 straight on to check was made.
This project of me so I called to plays in the -- -- I tell you with a line of scrimmage after I see the defense which way we're going.
He was the first one to come up that is well -- interest and it's kind of like that's one of the recent doesn't baseball is changing that.
Became a lot of oil the relievers -- but -- Up thank you very much -- Right now we consider talking about all this okay -- come up with a game plan to rescue it renewed talk about the jets in the gulf not China rexrodt an afterthought needs and in the I'll be more kill us up beans and salt -- as.
