Speaker 1: The following. Here's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com
Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is Mick
Speaker 1: Shot screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the
Speaker 1: official Dallas Cowboys app. Now Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls,
Speaker 1: and Nicky Spagnola. And it is high noon on the
Speaker 1: East Coast eleven am here at the Star in Fresco,
Speaker 1: and it's time for another edition of Mick Shots starring
Speaker 1: Mickey Spagnola with Bill Jones and Everson Walls inside the
Speaker 1: s WBC podcast studio on a Kyrie comes to Dallas
Speaker 1: edition of So what was what was the reference to
Speaker 1: the time on the East Coast? Because I normally say
Speaker 1: it's high noon? Yes, okay, he's a cowboy bag, So
Speaker 1: now it's high since we're on at eleven am instead
Speaker 1: of high noon, we're on our no game season schedules.
Speaker 1: Is listening, Oh, absolutely right, they're listening beyond the East coast.
Speaker 1: They haven't got a chance to listen to us in
Speaker 1: a full week, that's right. And man, it's someone is
Speaker 1: listening to us. Where it is not high noon. It's
Speaker 1: not one pm, two pm. It's more like four or
Speaker 1: five o'clock in the afternoon, that popular or seven, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're that popular. Yeah six seven. Yeah, it's not not
Speaker 1: that we're that popular. It's the star back year. That's
Speaker 1: nothing to do. It's us. It's Mickey's name, that's what
Speaker 1: you know. I told Jerry Jones Junior. I think it
Speaker 1: was the second year I was with the team, and um,
Speaker 1: we had the and that's when the websites were just
Speaker 1: getting going in the league, and we had the most
Speaker 1: traffic of any team in the league, right for a
Speaker 1: five and eleven season. And I told Junior, I said,
Speaker 1: it's what you get when you hire Mickey Stack. Nothing
Speaker 1: to do with the start. And they've believed it now
Speaker 1: for twenty one years and he's still sucking for a
Speaker 1: long time. And I finished that would telling Aboudy just
Speaker 1: what just think what the traffic would be if you
Speaker 1: got a winning season. Found that out? Well, well, well
Speaker 1: where we start, Josh. There's a lot that goes on
Speaker 1: in a week, right, and so where do you want
Speaker 1: to start? We'll go with what's your fields? Go with
Speaker 1: Brian's Saturday's news. The breaking news on Saturday afternoon, as
Speaker 1: the Cowboys announced that Brian Schottenheimer is the offensive coordinator.
Speaker 1: We start there on this edition of Mixtions. To me,
Speaker 1: no surprise. I thought that was the natural progression of,
Speaker 1: you know, what they were possibly going to do, since
Speaker 1: he'd been here a year, since he had been an
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator for twelve years and taking care of some
Speaker 1: pretty good quarterbacks oh, by the way, during his career,
Speaker 1: and just the I mean, the reason he was probably
Speaker 1: here in the first place was the connection with Marty Schottenheimer,
Speaker 1: where Mike's first you know, NFL job was with Kansas City,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure he knew him from back then. I
Speaker 1: think Brian would have been about twenty years old when
Speaker 1: Mike got there, twenty one something like that. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I just, you know, and if if if I thought
Speaker 1: God was talking to book, you know, and after he'd
Speaker 1: been here a year as a consultant, and what you
Speaker 1: were looking for an offensive coordinator with somebody basically to
Speaker 1: assist McCarthy with the offense, since if he's going to
Speaker 1: call the plays, he's probably gonna have a pretty good
Speaker 1: big hand in coordinating the offense. That you just needed
Speaker 1: somebody to help out more or less with the day
Speaker 1: to day stuff, practice, schedules, scripting, so that's that's the
Speaker 1: dynamic everything, And that's the way usually it happens when
Speaker 1: you have the head coach running calling the plays. I mean,
Speaker 1: you don't have somebody all week long, come up with
Speaker 1: the scouting report, come up with the game plan, and
Speaker 1: then say, okay, coach here call the plays. Well, because
Speaker 1: the media of course jumped on it right away, Jerry
Speaker 1: talked about how it's all in Mike's hands period, right,
Speaker 1: and that was you know, there was an absolution there,
Speaker 1: this is the way it's going to be. And then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden the Shottenheimer news comes out. He
Speaker 1: goes right, Jerry leading us down the wrong path again. Right, So, no,
Speaker 1: I don't think you're saying that dynamics are still. I
Speaker 1: don't think nothing's changed. It's just that they needed somebody
Speaker 1: in that position. And it's more than just an administrative
Speaker 1: position too, by the way. Um with you know you're
Speaker 1: got you're gonna have a guy that take care of
Speaker 1: that stuff. And he's worked with quarterbacks before, right, Uh,
Speaker 1: some pretty good ones too, oh by the way along
Speaker 1: the way. Um so yeah, I just thought that was
Speaker 1: the natural progression instead of bringing somebody in outside that
Speaker 1: um you know, was in you know, kind of foreign
Speaker 1: to what's been going on here. So that didn't surprise
Speaker 1: me one bit. Sounds like you're ready to tell us
Speaker 1: what quarterbacks he has worked with in the past. Well,
Speaker 1: I see that that was going to be your job, Bill, No,
Speaker 1: I've got him. I just want to. I mean, he's
Speaker 1: mentioned it a couple of times. He's worked with some
Speaker 1: pretty good quarterbacks. Oh, by the way, I think aimed
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck as a young Andrew Luck in Annapolis. Russell
Speaker 1: Wilson actually well, and with Luck, he was a quarterbacks
Speaker 1: coach in twenty sixteen and seventeen with the Colts ahead
Speaker 1: Mickey right, I'll fill in the biks um Man over here.
Speaker 1: And then three years with Seattle and they set a
Speaker 1: single season record for points scored, and he was the
Speaker 1: offensive coordinate order there and Russell Wilson was it was
Speaker 1: the older version or the younger version, younger the former
Speaker 1: version of Russell Wilson. Yeah. Absolutely. And then Chad Pennington
Speaker 1: with the Jets, and he was offensive coordinator there for
Speaker 1: six seasons two thousand and six through two thousand eleven,
Speaker 1: exciting offense. So he's been the coordinator twelve twelve years
Speaker 1: in the NFL another year at Georgia. I didn't look
Speaker 1: up the quarterback at Georgia in two thousand and fifteen.
Speaker 1: He was with the Rams as the offensive prior to
Speaker 1: that through fourteen, and Bradford would have still been there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: absolutely that twenty fifteen. Yeah, not not back where Vicky
Speaker 1: was just starting, not two thousand, not back in the
Speaker 1: five and eleven days, that's right. So yeah, so he's
Speaker 1: he's done the job, and he's been here as a
Speaker 1: consultant um offense and defense by the way, um and
Speaker 1: been around. So it's like, yeah, I'm just here. You
Speaker 1: got to you got a bigger office now. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I just thought that's what they would do. But we
Speaker 1: don't blame him for anything that happens because McCarthy used
Speaker 1: to play caller, right Yeah, we're blaming McCarthy now before
Speaker 1: we're blaming Kellen Moore for the offense. Right now, we
Speaker 1: blame McCarthy because he's a play caller. Well, that's what
Speaker 1: will have happened. That's that's what outside. That's aim is
Speaker 1: going to be. Yeah, this season because no matter, no
Speaker 1: matter that you led the league in offense the year before,
Speaker 1: set offense for the Cowboys and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: you got stupid. Come on, it's crazy, it is. I
Speaker 1: was just going to mention the fact that, you know,
Speaker 1: there only a few tweaks that need to be made
Speaker 1: in this offense if you're going to really look at
Speaker 1: it honestly without you know, all the bs is going
Speaker 1: on out there, Oh cowboys have all this that this
Speaker 1: guy's not elite. Give me a break, bro. I start
Speaker 1: looking at the numbers and the games themselves. Of course,
Speaker 1: you know the the interceptions this year. Uh. As far
Speaker 1: as our turnovers, that was that was different. You know,
Speaker 1: we we that's that's never been our pattern. And so
Speaker 1: to me, I look at it as an aberration for
Speaker 1: this year. But you keep going back further and further
Speaker 1: and further. Yes, the playoff games we were disappointing, but
Speaker 1: throughout the season, domination didn't take the Chargers long. Domination
Speaker 1: swoop him up right right, we were talking about Kellen Moore, buddy.
Speaker 1: If you guys aren't staying keeping score with us, uh yeah,
Speaker 1: And I guarantee you he knew that that Charger job
Speaker 1: was available and that they wanted him, and that was
Speaker 1: part of probably the mutual decision to leave you know
Speaker 1: what and and and this occurred to me too, And
Speaker 1: he might have thought, like, even though he was running
Speaker 1: the offense and I'd call in the plays, he was
Speaker 1: he's always been under the jurisdiction of an offensive coordinator
Speaker 1: head coach, and it's like, how about if I do
Speaker 1: this myself with a head coach that's a defensive coordinat
Speaker 1: maybe somebody will take me more seriously for a head
Speaker 1: coaching job. Yeah, unlike what happens in Kansas City. Every
Speaker 1: but he's like, well, Eric Bienemy, why doesn't anybody hire him, Well,
Speaker 1: because they think that Andy Reid and he probably is
Speaker 1: running that offense when when when when hits the role,
Speaker 1: Yeah right, he probably is. Yeah, And the same thing
Speaker 1: that happened in Tampa Bay. So maybe that occurred to
Speaker 1: him after he's had these interviews for head coaching jobs
Speaker 1: that he didn't get all but Tampa there was no
Speaker 1: offensive minded head coach there. Well there was, well two
Speaker 1: years ago, but not this past year. Yeah. Right, but
Speaker 1: but but that's what he worked on and right, so
Speaker 1: uh yeah, so maybe that kind of went into his
Speaker 1: decision too. But yeah, you're right about the blame game.
Speaker 1: It's just it's unbelievable. You know, this guy's to blame,
Speaker 1: that guy's to blame, Zeke's to blame. Um, it's why
Speaker 1: I don't like the off season. Yeah, this is gonna
Speaker 1: be an ugly one. So what tweaks need to happen
Speaker 1: for this offense? To me, I look at certain moments,
Speaker 1: and I've said this to yes, your right higher time.
Speaker 1: There were certain games to where we did not show
Speaker 1: up and that showed our inconsistency. You can't go from Minnesota,
Speaker 1: you know, and then down the line you go to
Speaker 1: the Titness and then after that then you go to Washington,
Speaker 1: you know, But then then after that you go to Tampa,
Speaker 1: you know, and after that after this. So to me,
Speaker 1: it's it's the inconsistency that you have to deal with.
Speaker 1: As far as production, this offense is always ready for production.
Speaker 1: That has never been a problem except in those inconsistent games.
Speaker 1: So to me, it's about those moments where okay, guys,
Speaker 1: this is one of those trap games. Let's not fall
Speaker 1: into it. We've done that consistently. We've done that consistently.
Speaker 1: So to me, that's still about a moment. The game
Speaker 1: itself is about a moment. This is what we conquered
Speaker 1: this moment even though you know usually we don't. So
Speaker 1: that's where you look at the difference of a Jimmy
Speaker 1: Johnson team. They don't fall into that. They didn't fall
Speaker 1: into that trap. That's why he had his little games
Speaker 1: and what he did with the players. I guess they
Speaker 1: need that, you know, they need that type of shocks
Speaker 1: into that system, because without it, then you have the
Speaker 1: Washington you have the Titans, and then you have San Francisco.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's matchups. You just have a bad matchup with
Speaker 1: a team in the age, have a bad match up
Speaker 1: with San Francisco. San Francisco had defense right exactly. I
Speaker 1: mean that game was that was not a game to where, okay, guys,
Speaker 1: the game plan is gonna win it for us. No,
Speaker 1: but the moment, it's the moment that because think about it,
Speaker 1: we went over it, right. They had opportunity to score
Speaker 1: fourteen more points in that game, and they didn't. They
Speaker 1: didn't convert. They didn't convert when they needed to convert.
Speaker 1: Exactly what if this had happened, What if San Francisco
Speaker 1: had lost its all quarterbacks? What if what if Purdy
Speaker 1: had got hurt in the on the sixth play of
Speaker 1: the Dallas game, would have things played out differently, would
Speaker 1: have could have won twelve to ten. Should would have.
Speaker 1: I think the defense probably would have played us better,
Speaker 1: but better than they played Philadelphia. But I think we
Speaker 1: would have won the game. It's it's those those look
Speaker 1: In the San Francisco game, the Cowboys were a wide
Speaker 1: receiver short. In my opinion that it finally kind of
Speaker 1: showed up when Michael Gallup has no catches uh t
Speaker 1: Y Hilton had one catch uh Noah Brown had two
Speaker 1: maybe everything else was Cede Lamb and then you lost
Speaker 1: Pollard although as I looked up he had eight. He
Speaker 1: had eight touches for thirty three yards. It wasn't like
Speaker 1: he was mister Pro Bowl. But when you left, the
Speaker 1: threat is there. The threat is there, and if you
Speaker 1: look at the constant uh dosage of him, then he
Speaker 1: could have broken one. He could have moved chains well
Speaker 1: and been the moment that we needed it. Didn't do
Speaker 1: it for the first half. So um But yeah, I
Speaker 1: just thought they were a wide receiver short, and they
Speaker 1: kind of covered that up all year long until they
Speaker 1: always find your blimo in the playoffs. The same thing
Speaker 1: happened when I got upset with Cedric Wilson. You see that.
Speaker 1: We were talking about Cedric all year long, and I'm
Speaker 1: not just picking on him, but it's an example of
Speaker 1: how that position was short. You still needed someone that
Speaker 1: could make a play. At that time of the season.
Speaker 1: He was making plays, doing everything, throwing the ball, catching
Speaker 1: the ball, reverse all of that. Then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: the game that you need them. You know, you could
Speaker 1: see the shortcoming, so to speak, and that in the
Speaker 1: playoffs that magnifying glasses really really right. So let me
Speaker 1: take you a step further. You would think it'd be
Speaker 1: a no brainer if, okay, the other team loses their
Speaker 1: third quarterback of the season Party and now you've you're
Speaker 1: going with a guy who was on the Denver practice
Speaker 1: squad four weeks earlier, and you're in a playoff game whatever,
Speaker 1: And yeah, and I said, well, of course Philadelphia won
Speaker 1: that game. And I'm sitting there thinking Dallas versus San
Speaker 1: Francisco in that scenario. What happened in that game? San
Speaker 1: Francisco wasn't doing that much on offense even with Party,
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys turned it over a couple of times
Speaker 1: in the first half, fell behind, and the forty nine
Speaker 1: Ers put one drive together, one ninety one yard drive
Speaker 1: together in the third quarter of that game to get ahead,
Speaker 1: and then they could play from from ahead, which was
Speaker 1: different than their game against Philadelphia. So you compare Dallas
Speaker 1: and this team that's representing the NFC in the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl this week, Philadelphia. What's the difference between the Dallas
Speaker 1: and Philadelphia team this year? Defense pretty comparable, right, as
Speaker 1: part sacking the quarterback one two in the league sacking
Speaker 1: the quarterback. And what's the difference within the offenses Philadelphia
Speaker 1: versus Dallas this year? Well, because then Philadelphia was able
Speaker 1: to get ahead of San Francisco and then play from
Speaker 1: ahead in that game and they and they shouldn't move
Speaker 1: because there's fourth in three and they complete the pass
Speaker 1: down the field where the guys he didn't catch didn't
Speaker 1: and it ends up being a touchdown. Right, But even
Speaker 1: after that away, it's seven seven maybe at halftime with
Speaker 1: whoever is well and then the other thing, well, the
Speaker 1: other thing that happened was at the end of the
Speaker 1: first half of that game, Josh Johnson, Yeah, shotguns snatched,
Speaker 1: So there it is. So that is seven seven at halftime, Yeah,
Speaker 1: which is the equivalent of what the Cowboy would have
Speaker 1: been because it was nice. Yeah at halftime six Yeah,
Speaker 1: and what are you looking at? Yeah, moments right, that's
Speaker 1: moments exactly. That's just it. But but here's what Philadelphia
Speaker 1: was able to do. They were able to run the
Speaker 1: football against San Francisco and the Cowboys. They were why
Speaker 1: the Cowboys were not able to run the football Francisco.
Speaker 1: So my answer to that, you didn't ask me, But
Speaker 1: my answer what your ass bags was, uh, first, turnovers
Speaker 1: and the offensive line. That's what I was gonna say,
Speaker 1: turnovers in the offensive line because we couldn't run it
Speaker 1: on them. But once again, if our defense keeps balling
Speaker 1: and we keep talking about polot, it doesn't matter what
Speaker 1: you do in the first half, it's what you do
Speaker 1: when we need you. We could have worn them down
Speaker 1: with more weapons, you know, by using polot, we could
Speaker 1: have tired them out. We could have you know, created
Speaker 1: deception and then when the time is right, because that's
Speaker 1: what offense coordinators do. They set you up, set you up,
Speaker 1: set you up. As long as the defense keeps you
Speaker 1: in position, then I'm gonna spring this play on you
Speaker 1: when it's time. So we could have had that play.
Speaker 1: You don't know, you could have had a player that
Speaker 1: had that moment of you know, making that play when
Speaker 1: we needed it. So, like you said, if the weapons
Speaker 1: are there, then we still had a chance, especially as
Speaker 1: long as our defense was keeping us in it. So
Speaker 1: that's why the turnovers were extremely important. Those two turnovers
Speaker 1: really hurt this. I mean, I'll give you another momentum
Speaker 1: and I believe it was and we talked about it
Speaker 1: last week. They blitzed the safety, We talked about the
Speaker 1: safety off the off the edge and he came free
Speaker 1: and everybody was like, well, what's Tyler Smith doing and
Speaker 1: it's like, no, he blocked the guy on the inside,
Speaker 1: the running back. It was Malite Davis on that play,
Speaker 1: and he almost screwed up the entire well he did
Speaker 1: because Dak was dropping back and there was no play
Speaker 1: action and he almost ran into him. So I'm thinking, Okay,
Speaker 1: you weren't supposed to be there, you were supposed to
Speaker 1: be outside. But that was the moment and then they
Speaker 1: you know, it ruins a drive, and especially in a
Speaker 1: game that ended up nineteen to twelve, that moment was important.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's why this whole thing, and you know
Speaker 1: it comes up right right away. Well, what's the difference.
Speaker 1: You know, how far behind are the Cowboys from Philadelphia? Well,
Speaker 1: I really don't know. I would have loved to seeing
Speaker 1: the third matchup. Yeah right, Well the Cowboys beat them,
Speaker 1: would have you know they had a backup quarterback. Well
Speaker 1: they beat the Cowboys would a backup quarterback, and they
Speaker 1: didn't score forty points like the Cowboys. So I would
Speaker 1: have loved to see that third match. All right, we're
Speaker 1: just getting started. Yes, don a Super Bowl week edition

Speaker 1: Mickey in the first segment talked about Brian Schottenheimer's quarterbacks
Speaker 1: he's had through the year. It's a who's who of
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that he's had NFL stops. He didn mention he
Speaker 1: was at the University of Georgia's the offensive coordinator in
Speaker 1: twoy fifteen. And producer Supreme Chris Beam has come up
Speaker 1: with the name of the Georgia quarterback in twenty fifteen.
Speaker 1: And I don't think unless you're a Georgia Bulldog fan,
Speaker 1: you would have come up with the name Grayson Lambert.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why he was only there one year. He
Speaker 1: was there, transferred from any quarterback from Virginia. Yeah, that's right,
Speaker 1: and he was. He was a transfer from Virginia who
Speaker 1: wound up at Georgia in twenty fifteen and sixteen, and
Speaker 1: he then became a draft pick of the Texas Rangers baseball. Wow,
Speaker 1: so there you go. Now you know the rest of
Speaker 1: the story. So quarterbacks that go play baseball? Yes? Did
Speaker 1: you want any of the Pro Bowl? I did? Yesterday?
Speaker 1: You did? I did? Did you guys watch? I was
Speaker 1: gonna afraid you guys, we're gonna talk about not talking
Speaker 1: about that stuff. I watched. I watched a play three
Speaker 1: two three hours. You watched it for three hours. It
Speaker 1: was a beautiful day Dallas, Fort Worth. Yes, I walked
Speaker 1: outside every once in a while. Yeah, Mickey, we were.
Speaker 1: We were ice in for like three days last week
Speaker 1: and then on the weekend we've got this beautiful weather.
Speaker 1: I mean, it couldn't have been any better on Saturday
Speaker 1: and Sunday here. So what did you do and you're
Speaker 1: sitting there? Did you do outside? You're sitting there for
Speaker 1: three hours on a beautiful Sunday afternoon watching flag football?
Speaker 1: Come on, man, you know they did more hitting? Right?
Speaker 1: Did you say that? Did you on Twitter? Give me
Speaker 1: a brain? I watched the highlights on Twitter. But it
Speaker 1: wasn't just flag football. They had kicking, they had deep snapping,
Speaker 1: they had did your back? Okay, how did you spend
Speaker 1: your Saturday or your no, no, your Friday night? Friday night?
Speaker 1: Did you watch the NHL All Stars Skills competition? Taped it?
Speaker 1: Have you? Have you watched it? Not yet? Okay, but
Speaker 1: but you are gonna watch. And I taped. I taped
Speaker 1: the NFL, I mean the NHL All Star Game too.
Speaker 1: I started Saturday afternoon, some of the three on three. Yeah, okay, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I was sad. I ran Saturday. I ran Saturday from
Speaker 1: what from bad Hill? I can't believe you guys didn't
Speaker 1: watch it. The flag football thing was actually pretty good,
Speaker 1: you know now. I would say if there was an
Speaker 1: alternative to flag football, to Pro Bowl and what we've
Speaker 1: seen in the past, this would be if I'm gonna
Speaker 1: watch it, it'd be flag football. I watched my little
Speaker 1: nephews play flag football all the time, right, and that's
Speaker 1: kind of what it's like. So I gotta tell everybody
Speaker 1: that Ceedee Lamb had two touchdowns in an extra point
Speaker 1: and the play of the day though, and then tray
Speaker 1: Von Diggs interception and who did he pick off? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you buried the lead there. Well all right, yeah, not
Speaker 1: only not only did it, not only did he pick
Speaker 1: him off, he outran him too, by the way, he
Speaker 1: made it to the end zone and you look close.
Speaker 1: Did they review it? No, they should have reviewed a
Speaker 1: lot of things because when when Diggs had the touchdown,
Speaker 1: he was out of bounds. Okay, he stepped out of bounds.
Speaker 1: They didn't have replay in in flag football. Plus they
Speaker 1: had flag football referees that were really intimidated by even
Speaker 1: if it was professional fla really oh yeah. They had
Speaker 1: some little guy about my size was the head referee, right,
Speaker 1: and it's like I smicked out of bones. That guy
Speaker 1: is a referee in the pack twelve. Well and I
Speaker 1: got hold. They said he was a flag football all right, well, good,
Speaker 1: he needs some help. I thought you were going to
Speaker 1: bring up and then and that's my next one, hang on.
Speaker 1: And then they figured out how to use Cavante Turpin
Speaker 1: in the game now as a wide receiver as a blitzer. Really, yes,
Speaker 1: how did you get How did you get through all
Speaker 1: those huge offensive linemen there were ghost they couldn't block,
Speaker 1: the center couldn't block, and so The only thing you
Speaker 1: could do is accidentally run your running back towards where
Speaker 1: they're blitzing and just say oops, I was going out
Speaker 1: for a pass. I wasn't blocking, but they needed to
Speaker 1: see they had to throw the ball within four seconds.
Speaker 1: And so with with Turpin's speed off the line of scrimmage,
Speaker 1: you know he was he was causing problems for the
Speaker 1: for the AFC. I've got to say he impressed me
Speaker 1: in the in the last in the playoff game against
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. Yeah, but they didn't have any
Speaker 1: kicking so there was no return. Now. But he's the
Speaker 1: real deal, for real though, he's the real deal. This
Speaker 1: guy can. He can. He can make you sit up
Speaker 1: and watch. So you didn't watch the quarterback target throwing
Speaker 1: on Thursday night? No, guys, how was it you did?
Speaker 1: Producers Supreme? What were your impressions? It was pretty good?
Speaker 1: It was not bad. Yeah, it wasn't bad. It was
Speaker 1: like you know, the last the last throw each of
Speaker 1: them have is remember how in training camp they tried
Speaker 1: to throw the ball fifty yards and drop it in
Speaker 1: the garbage can in the bucket. Well, that was one
Speaker 1: of the targets you had to do. Was watching that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my son was more more impressed with the offensive lineman
Speaker 1: throwing water balloons at each Yes, yes, to see who
Speaker 1: who had soft hands catch? Right? So do you think
Speaker 1: the I mean it looked like Allegiance Stadium in Las
Speaker 1: Vegas on Sunday was filled. Yes, I mean it was
Speaker 1: a full house. But you think those fans really enjoyed that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know how much. I think you only had
Speaker 1: to pay twenty p see the TV ratings guarantee of
Speaker 1: the TV ratings are decent. But here's what they got
Speaker 1: fixed though. So it's a fifty yard field, right, and
Speaker 1: they played it basically from one goal line to the fifty.
Speaker 1: The TV shots were all behind the play, but it
Speaker 1: wasn't wide enough to see what the wide receivers were.
Speaker 1: And because the cameras were behind the play, you couldn't
Speaker 1: tell who was who was playing defense, like who was
Speaker 1: in the game unless you knew the numbers of everybody
Speaker 1: that was playing, like I could see when Trayvon Diggs
Speaker 1: was out at cornerback. But other than that, it was
Speaker 1: hard to distinguish and everything was behind and it's like
Speaker 1: they couldn't get a side angle because I'm sure the
Speaker 1: TV booth at Allegiant Field was at the fifty yard right.
Speaker 1: That wasn't gonna get it right, and so they didn't
Speaker 1: want to do it as an angle. And I'm going, okay,
Speaker 1: they got to work on this. They also need to
Speaker 1: work on the announcers. It actually did look look more
Speaker 1: exciting than Yeah, I feel like a mix. But you
Speaker 1: know what, but and and even you know flag football,
Speaker 1: you gotta know how to twist yourself so they don't
Speaker 1: grab your flag, right, And I remember when we played
Speaker 1: flag football, they well, no, I think it was that
Speaker 1: media thing. Guys started wrapping the flag, no, around the
Speaker 1: belt right so it wouldn't come out so easily. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but it was good. I thought it was. You know,
Speaker 1: it would be a great flag football player, Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 1: I could see him as being a great flag football
Speaker 1: player period. He would probably know, you know, because I've
Speaker 1: seen the young kids do it. They drop down, they
Speaker 1: run lowy, you know what I mean that they I
Speaker 1: don't know how or you twist guys get down and
Speaker 1: give down. But you know what it's like. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's like the high school seven on seven things. And
Speaker 1: of course, yes that's what it is. Sure, my nephew
Speaker 1: does it. My nephew does this stuff. No, he's he's
Speaker 1: pretty damn good. Yeah. Yeah, so yeah, I thought it
Speaker 1: was it was worth watching. And she said, um, you
Speaker 1: watch a lot of flag football, youth football whatever. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's the thing now. And they're gonna start giving out scholarships.
Speaker 1: I know it's coming. It's gonna become a UIO sport,
Speaker 1: even for girls. No that somebody was in California, one
Speaker 1: one state starting high school flag football for for for
Speaker 1: kids of talent. They are so talented in that flag
Speaker 1: football stuff and they really can learn, you know, the
Speaker 1: new system that's that's around now. Everything's past happy now.
Speaker 1: But really kids learn how to run house. They learned
Speaker 1: how to you know, route combinations and things of that nature,
Speaker 1: how to set up a defense. It really is good
Speaker 1: as far as the beginning stages of knowing how to
Speaker 1: running offenses. And then they came up with some clever
Speaker 1: plays of throwing throwing the ball out to the running
Speaker 1: back to buy time and then the running back could
Speaker 1: throw it back to the quarterback and then throw it
Speaker 1: down found so that got away from the fourth seconds okay, second, okay, yeah, nice. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So you're telling me. I should have watched back. I'm
Speaker 1: sure you've got it taped somewhere and just go watch.
Speaker 1: They seemed they hustled more. No, they did football. Well,
Speaker 1: there was a lot of stake here, and I mean
Speaker 1: the winning team, the players, the players on the winning team,
Speaker 1: you got eighty four thousand dollars and the losing team
Speaker 1: got forty two. So there was forty thousand dollars on
Speaker 1: the TV, and there was arguing going on, and it
Speaker 1: was great to hear paid any bonus. Yeah, and it
Speaker 1: was good to hear Peyton and Eli calling the plays
Speaker 1: in or they called time out and they get in
Speaker 1: the huddle and the Eli, okay, what do you want.
Speaker 1: Let's go three one, three to one side, one to
Speaker 1: the other and run this and that. So it was
Speaker 1: kind of so there's there need to be a league
Speaker 1: of football league League league. It'd probably would be more
Speaker 1: exciting than the XFL and the USFL trying to find
Speaker 1: enough offensive lineman to play football. That's the thing about
Speaker 1: what the offensive lineman do now with plow bow, I mean,
Speaker 1: besides the boy did the white thing. I mean, okay,
Speaker 1: so you got figure out stuff for them. It's nothing
Speaker 1: to do with the big guys. You talk about the
Speaker 1: trickle up effect and what we're seeing in the NFL.
Speaker 1: We started seeing this twenty years ago in Texas high
Speaker 1: school football. Okay, the spread offenses and all that stuff,
Speaker 1: the great Sam Earld and in US high school Todd Dodge.
Speaker 1: All right, So that's what they've been doing in Texas
Speaker 1: high school football, doing seven on seven in the off season.
Speaker 1: So why not we've done in NFL Europe, we've done all.
Speaker 1: We got the you know, the XFL, USFL whatever and
Speaker 1: so FA football seven. Yeah, that's the off season developmental
Speaker 1: program for real. So what is seven? NFL seven on
Speaker 1: se seven on seven? And Harry Jones is up there,
Speaker 1: he is he has taken notes. Now this would be
Speaker 1: this will be the pickleball of the NF. Right when
Speaker 1: they when they do that in the off season, is
Speaker 1: it flag or touch for high school when they do
Speaker 1: the seven on seven? I think it's flag flag. It
Speaker 1: is fun. Yeah, okay, yeah, even even high school seniors
Speaker 1: of high school player. I mean they literally for the
Speaker 1: people not in the area. I mean they literally they
Speaker 1: play tournaments, uh throughout March into June and then middle
Speaker 1: of the summer. They've got the state tournament, right, and
Speaker 1: these are legitimate offensive players that they go up. So
Speaker 1: it's a skill position players on your local high school teams,
Speaker 1: that's what they do in the off season. But once again,
Speaker 1: the big guys are the ones that don't get them right. No,
Speaker 1: they're left out. They're left out. But the quarterbacks get
Speaker 1: the world. They can't get hit, so that that helps out. No,
Speaker 1: it's a great learning tool, it really is. For any
Speaker 1: player that wants to play wide receiver, wants to play
Speaker 1: offensive I mean even defensive back as well. It's a
Speaker 1: great tool for you. You can figure out pass pattern
Speaker 1: schemes and things of that nature. Man, I'd love people,
Speaker 1: I'd love to play that. But you know, when it's
Speaker 1: not it's no pads in high school football, players don't
Speaker 1: really look at it as real football, right right, this
Speaker 1: is where it is. Well, the only thing they need
Speaker 1: when they do it next year is replay help them official.
Speaker 1: It was that bad, something pretty weird stuff with that.
Speaker 1: And here I was yesterday thinking what did you do?
Speaker 1: I want to know to work, But here I was
Speaker 1: though thinking all day this is the most miserable sports
Speaker 1: Sunday of the year because because there was no football
Speaker 1: and there was the first time in six months that
Speaker 1: we had a Sunday without any football. Now we've got
Speaker 1: football next Sunday, the Super Bowl, and then the next
Speaker 1: Sunday we got the XFL kicks off here the Ardington
Speaker 1: rennegades their play, and then after that you've got Darryl
Speaker 1: Johnston's USFL is going to take you all the way
Speaker 1: to the fourth of July and then it's football season again.
Speaker 1: It's all it's like this was this Yesterday was the
Speaker 1: worst sports Sunday of the year. There was there's no football.
Speaker 1: There was enough NBA in college and women's Yeah, all
Speaker 1: them Mavericks tried to save the day with the trade. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: all right, we continue with more mix shots. Do we
Speaker 1: need to make our picks for the super Bowl? It
Speaker 1: seems slow early for that, But we don't have a
Speaker 1: show before Super Bowl Sunday. Now there's the what's the
Speaker 1: what's the opposite of anti climactic premature? All about that?
Speaker 1: Where shine? We paid how much for those lessons? She's
Speaker 1: doing great? Oh yeah, totally. Can you pass me a
Speaker 1: pepsi zero sugar? Great job, honey, Oh look at that.
Speaker 1: That's not the end, no way. Now it's time for
Speaker 1: the encore. You know what, You're right? Five times not
Speaker 1: enough times for everyone who traded in rock concerts for
Speaker 1: their kids recitals. You've compromised enough PEPSI zero sugar. That's
Speaker 1: what I like. Nobody protects you from Mayhem like All State.

Speaker 1: might have to say we won't be having much music
Speaker 1: on here until yeah, you mean that, maybe have a
Speaker 1: great draft and they will play it. He needs that
Speaker 1: recording and playing the car with one of the lines
Speaker 1: I already am so um. What made me think of
Speaker 1: it was the one line in Stampede where the Cowboys
Speaker 1: are the class of the Senior the Senior Bowl Senior
Speaker 1: when and for weeks I thought he was they were
Speaker 1: talking about the Senior Bowl. Actually, the highlight of the
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl was Jerry and Stephen talking more than anything
Speaker 1: that tried every year every year one. I had Babe
Speaker 1: Laffenberg on my show last night, and I've said that
Speaker 1: Jerry said, uh, if you know, he would like to
Speaker 1: draft a quarterback every year, and Babe's like, well, what's
Speaker 1: stopping him? He makes the picks. So okay, So you
Speaker 1: heard Jerry get the Senior Bowl. So I'm gonna point
Speaker 1: a couple of things out real quick. Um. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you guys probably didn't read my column on Friday.
Speaker 1: You have a column, Yeah, thank you. So I kept
Speaker 1: hearing all this stuff about Dak press. Yeah. And by
Speaker 1: the way, did anybody stay up late enough to listen
Speaker 1: to Bill last night? After the Grammys? I switched man.
Speaker 1: I said, it's a time for Bill, right, and the
Speaker 1: Grammys are still going those are can't And then Bill
Speaker 1: here comes Bill. I couldn't stay up to do it. Yeah. Anyway,
Speaker 1: So it's Friday, and I kept hearing all this stuff
Speaker 1: about Dak this and Dak dat, and you know, they
Speaker 1: need another quarterback. And so I'm coming out of the
Speaker 1: shower at the health club and some guy sees me
Speaker 1: and he goes, hey, mister football guy, just like football guy.
Speaker 1: And I was like, can I just keep walking right?
Speaker 1: And he did it loud and so everybody could hear it.
Speaker 1: And he goes, uh, so when are they going to
Speaker 1: get rid of Dak? And he said the wrong thing
Speaker 1: at the wrong time, And because I was just thinking
Speaker 1: it might be video out here there somewhere. Yeah, something's
Speaker 1: gone viral, Mickey. I was just thinking of what I
Speaker 1: was going to write and how these people are right
Speaker 1: right here. And then he asked me right here who
Speaker 1: he is? And I just looked up and I said,
Speaker 1: that's a really stupid question. He deserved that. How big
Speaker 1: was he? Uh? He was you could take him old
Speaker 1: enough that yeah, yeah he was bigger, but he was older.
Speaker 1: You could have gotten him. You could have danced around him, right,
Speaker 1: How old was he? And some other some other guy goes, yeah,
Speaker 1: why can't they get rid of him he can't win
Speaker 1: and get past the first round of the playoffs, and
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, I'm gone. I just your locker
Speaker 1: room is pretty this is but it was typical of
Speaker 1: the fans, right, So I was just gonna point out time, Um,
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott has a thirty one million dollars base salary
Speaker 1: this year, fully guaranteed. So you get rid of him,
Speaker 1: that's thirty one million dollars in dead money. He's got
Speaker 1: a forty nine point one million dollars cap hit, which
Speaker 1: they will probably try to restructure the base salary to
Speaker 1: lower it like they did the last two years. But
Speaker 1: if you got rid of him, his dead money this
Speaker 1: year is eighty nine million. So once you sign somebody
Speaker 1: to a four year, one hundred and forty sixty million
Speaker 1: dollars deal, they're years. You're not getting rid of anybody.
Speaker 1: So if you could, you gotta go with somebody of quality.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gotta be. You go from Dad, and
Speaker 1: they say he's not elite, but you go from Dad,
Speaker 1: it's not many above. I was gonna say, my other
Speaker 1: question for the guy goes, Okay, what's your alternative? Yeah,
Speaker 1: who you got? I mean Rodgers is supposed to be
Speaker 1: doing something. I mean, if you bring in somebody like Rodgers,
Speaker 1: I mean, that would be something you think about. And
Speaker 1: they have fifty million in dead money if he leaves. So,
Speaker 1: by the way, I'm trying to figure out who just
Speaker 1: get rid of him and do what? Who's next? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know I had to wait after the bow. I mean,
Speaker 1: who are you gonna get? So I had to use
Speaker 1: my Bill Parcel's line. It's like, yeah, you can't just
Speaker 1: go down to Texico and buy one, right, Texico. That's
Speaker 1: so New Jersey. They're like, they have Texico New Jersey.
Speaker 1: No they don't. I don't know, but I've been up there.
Speaker 1: There no text, well not anymore. I figured he made
Speaker 1: that tex Yeah. Yeah, but Texico used to be I
Speaker 1: mean we had it in Chicago, Okay, yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: think it's in New York New Jersey area. Oh I
Speaker 1: bet there was. That'd be like Sinclair too, anyway, Okay,
Speaker 1: it'd be a sponsor for our show. I buy dress
Speaker 1: um all right. So and also, so now the easy
Speaker 1: low hanging fruit is well, you got to get rid
Speaker 1: of Zeke and you got to get rid of Tyrant Smith. Right,
Speaker 1: But there's financial ramifications to do in those things on
Speaker 1: the salary cap so you can't just say, okay, you
Speaker 1: know he's got too big of a base salary, but
Speaker 1: what's left? So take Zeke. Everybody wanted to get rid
Speaker 1: of Zeke. All right, he's got a ten point nine
Speaker 1: million dollars base salary, but let him go, and you
Speaker 1: have eleven point eight million in dead money. Now you
Speaker 1: can spread it over two years, five this year, six
Speaker 1: next year, but it never goes away, right, So my
Speaker 1: thinking on Zeke is they're going to do something like
Speaker 1: they did with DeMarcus Lauren. Remember this past year, he
Speaker 1: had that big base salary, and what they did was
Speaker 1: they said, okay, what if we do this. We're gonna
Speaker 1: divide that base salary basically in three and we'll give
Speaker 1: you three years guaranteed to make nineteen million. And that's
Speaker 1: what he did. So and it lowered lowered his cap
Speaker 1: hit for this year and spread it out over three
Speaker 1: years in base salary. But you weren't giving him more
Speaker 1: bonus money. So Tyran, I mean you could do something
Speaker 1: like that if he was ameniable to it. Or I
Speaker 1: mean Zeke, I'm sorry, I said, Tyrant, and he said
Speaker 1: he wanted to stay. So now you see whoa how
Speaker 1: badly does he want to stay? Right? And you can
Speaker 1: do that. And when you get rid of him, though,
Speaker 1: he's got sighting bonus, option bonus and restructure bonus left
Speaker 1: to you have to account for now he does his
Speaker 1: base salaries no longer guaranteed. Last year was his last
Speaker 1: base salary that was guaranteed. But there's way to do that. Then.
Speaker 1: My next question for him is when everybody wants to
Speaker 1: get rid of him, All right, who you got that's
Speaker 1: gonna have twelve rushing touchdowns? By the way, he had
Speaker 1: twelve rushing touchdowns. Everybody wants to point out three point
Speaker 1: eight average, right, oh, in these last game, Well, they
Speaker 1: didn't run the ball in the last couple of games.
Speaker 1: If you look at Washington, what they did. Nothing showed up.
Speaker 1: The offensive line was beat up. And the other thing
Speaker 1: no one considers is how many of those twelve touchdowns
Speaker 1: were five yards or less. That'll kill your average, right,
Speaker 1: because you if you're at the two and you score,
Speaker 1: it's great. To me, that's pretty obvious, right. I don't
Speaker 1: know why everybody keeps bitching about that. You can only
Speaker 1: get two yards for that carry. But but you you've
Speaker 1: got the value of the score, right, and you know,
Speaker 1: let's face it, when we were down there, yeah, we
Speaker 1: gave it to Polo a few times and anytimes exactly
Speaker 1: because he got thrown around like a wag doll. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so yeah, you know that you know the value
Speaker 1: of what he does. I'm not worried about average as
Speaker 1: far as running average, because we know that the touchdowns
Speaker 1: they bring that down. What I'm looking at is who's remaining. Okay,
Speaker 1: you have Pollock coming back and I don't know, guys
Speaker 1: about this this surgery. Does that mean Polo just because
Speaker 1: he's having surgery, he's gonna automatically come back better than ever?
Speaker 1: You know? I mean I thought we were talking about
Speaker 1: two different instances on the same leg, right, So that
Speaker 1: just doesn't seem that doesn't give me much confidence in
Speaker 1: how Pollard is coming back. He may come back and
Speaker 1: be amazing as ever the surgery, because he is a
Speaker 1: free and we still haven't sided him. Yeah, So Davis,
Speaker 1: you want to use that ten million dollars on Pollard
Speaker 1: as a franchise player, and you got mo league Davis, right,
Speaker 1: who is a something really good player. I think he's
Speaker 1: a really good player, But you know, of course, experience matters,
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, So okay, if Zeke goes well, you
Speaker 1: have left. Are you gonna use a first round pick
Speaker 1: on a running back? Well? I was asking, That's why
Speaker 1: I was headed a second third. Is somebody out there? Oh,
Speaker 1: you could probably make a trade for a veteran, Right,
Speaker 1: you can make a trade for a veteran, a good
Speaker 1: running back, vechean, because a lot of a lot of
Speaker 1: good running backs out there. Would you like to hear
Speaker 1: the distance of the Ezekiel Elliott touchdown runs? I was
Speaker 1: just gonna look it up. But since you've got it, Okay,
Speaker 1: he had twelve touchdown runs, right, I think he had
Speaker 1: one for fourteen? Yes? Yeah, Here here are the yardage
Speaker 1: on them. One yard, fourteen yards, one yard, one yard,
Speaker 1: one yard, one yard, six yards, four yards, two yards,
Speaker 1: ten yards, one yard, one yard. So he had seven
Speaker 1: one yard touchdown runs and one two yard touchdown. I
Speaker 1: wonder how many were on second and third down? You know,
Speaker 1: we really need that. Yeah, we gotta have this, especially
Speaker 1: on third day, thirty fourth down. So those are eight
Speaker 1: carries for nine yards. Yeah, all right, you talk, and
Speaker 1: I'm going to do the math on his yards per carry? Yea,
Speaker 1: So give me, give me eight carries for four yards,
Speaker 1: give me, you know, and what does that do to
Speaker 1: my yards per carry? But yeah, one yard carries they're
Speaker 1: gonna hurt you, right, and then still a three point
Speaker 1: eight and then you would have yeah, he still had,
Speaker 1: he would he would be to four right? Wow? And
Speaker 1: how many one yard carries did he get for a
Speaker 1: first down? Or maybe a fourth a third and one
Speaker 1: or a fourth and one? Yeah, So don't minimize those things.
Speaker 1: But what happens is everybody wants to make the argument
Speaker 1: very easy, Like you just have this box and you
Speaker 1: put a bow in it, and you don't look inside
Speaker 1: the box to see why this all happen. So you
Speaker 1: gotta be careful. Yeah, hey, what did you get? We
Speaker 1: did this whole thing. Just imagine what his yards per
Speaker 1: carry will be if you take out the touchdown runs
Speaker 1: to one yard? All right? His yards per carry without
Speaker 1: the touchdown runs of one yard, one or two yards
Speaker 1: was three point eight right, well, is three point eight eight,
Speaker 1: three point eight eight? See three point three point eight
Speaker 1: eight difference? You went, You went all the way up
Speaker 1: from three point eight to three point ninete, We got it. Analytics, baby,
Speaker 1: well what if you what if those carries were four
Speaker 1: or five yards? Okay, how are you going to make
Speaker 1: him four or five? That that yard? So we're gonna
Speaker 1: I wait, say it, I wanted to take eight carries.
Speaker 1: We're gonna give him, give him his the average. You
Speaker 1: give him his average. Yeah, okay, wait a second, hold on,
Speaker 1: you'll get it to least three nine four, all right.
Speaker 1: That's we're not gonna make four. We're not making four.
Speaker 1: We're not making four. We're making chicken salad at him
Speaker 1: right there, buddy. All right, So we're taking those eight carries,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna add We've already got one yard on him.
Speaker 1: We're gonna add three yards to him, so that's twenty
Speaker 1: We're gonna give him twenty five more yard rushing, all right.
Speaker 1: So that'll get him, that'll get him to get him,
Speaker 1: that'll get the yard nine hundred and one yards divided
Speaker 1: by the same amount of carry, which is a two
Speaker 1: hundred nine yard. And now to get him to three
Speaker 1: point nine there were not Imagine what if they were
Speaker 1: went for five yards instead of or what if he
Speaker 1: broke one for fourteen? What if he had one nine
Speaker 1: yard touchdown run? What would that do to it. That's right.
Speaker 1: That would kill him. That would kill him. He would
Speaker 1: not put it in context. He would not he would
Speaker 1: not play the next guy. All right, we just put
Speaker 1: it in context for you. And also so Tyro and
Speaker 1: Smith and they're gonna have to figure this one out
Speaker 1: because if Tyler Smith's your guy at left tackle and
Speaker 1: Terence smill Steel comes back at right tackle, then what
Speaker 1: happens Like if he comes back, where's Jason Peters fitting in?
Speaker 1: He's unrestricted friend, I know, but Jerry said he's said
Speaker 1: he wants him back. Well he can come back as
Speaker 1: a backgup if he wants. No, but that's it. No,
Speaker 1: and I like that be And yeah, there's a new
Speaker 1: at that age with a hip injury. Got an offensive
Speaker 1: line coach that was coaching. When do you remember Mike
Speaker 1: Slarrd Did he want you to play special teams? I
Speaker 1: always play special teams? No, you did die? How did
Speaker 1: you not know this? I play special teams all the time.
Speaker 1: When I was on kickoff team and I was on
Speaker 1: the part return all the time. You have to go
Speaker 1: down and make tackles. No punt return. But you said kickoff,
Speaker 1: Yeah I was on kick off. Yes, I was a
Speaker 1: safety guy, the safety guys. I'm the safety guy. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm the safety guy. Yeah, come on, they ever get
Speaker 1: to here? Man? I was good, Okay, I take a
Speaker 1: look at my videos. Boy, I was I was stopped.
Speaker 1: I stopped a couple of tests down because he was
Speaker 1: the special team's coach and the assistant offensive line. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I knew he was the assistant offensive line, but he
Speaker 1: was a special team teams. Did he replace Alan Lowry
Speaker 1: as special team He did? He did? He he did?
Speaker 1: Because I think Lowry got um he went to Tennessee,
Speaker 1: didn't he? Do you think that it was Houston? Maybe? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Look him up now, the Oilers pride of Irving High
Speaker 1: School who taught me how to get into three point
Speaker 1: stance Irving MCA when I was nine years old, Alan Lowry.
Speaker 1: How successful was his opportunity to do that? He actually
Speaker 1: Lowry was still with the Cowboys. Well he was under Jimmy.
Speaker 1: He was still with the Cowboys. Yeah, they kept him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so he didn't so we got maybe he maybe
Speaker 1: Solari was assistant special teams. Oh I thought you said
Speaker 1: he was special teams coach and an assistant. So he
Speaker 1: was Lowry's assistant and he was the assistant offensive line. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: so there you go. So Lowry was here uh nine
Speaker 1: years from eighty two to nineteen. You know, you've got
Speaker 1: your adding on coaches. You have an assistant special teams coach, right,
Speaker 1: you never really had that. Yeah, he's just one one
Speaker 1: one special teams because they had an assistant at the time.
Speaker 1: They tried to put some emphasis on that, you know.
Speaker 1: The other the other thing I'm wondering with the moves
Speaker 1: they made on the coaching staff, if they just didn't
Speaker 1: downsize like twenty nine. Yeah, we were looking at about
Speaker 1: looking at the photo. Yeah, how many coaches they have
Speaker 1: there a whole room. You have assistance to the assistant
Speaker 1: and maybe you're you know, maybe Schottenheimer he's the offensive
Speaker 1: quarter maybe he's the quarterback coach too, you know who knows. Um. Okay,
Speaker 1: so we're still looking at filling Okay, quarterbacks coach, what
Speaker 1: are you thinking? That's what I'm saying. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, you bring in somebody young Scott Tolzine on
Speaker 1: staff as an offensive assistant. It seems like he might
Speaker 1: be a candidate right to be quarterbacks. Just get rid
Speaker 1: of the offensive assistant thing. I mean just like or
Speaker 1: you bring in someone at entry level defensive line, they
Speaker 1: needed to bring in nobody else. That's well, but you're training.
Speaker 1: But the reason that you had told let's say Tolzine
Speaker 1: becomes a quarterbacks coach, then he for the last three
Speaker 1: years he's been training to for that opportunity. And so
Speaker 1: that's where you have, you know, quality control guys that
Speaker 1: they're training. You can probably bring in somebody position coaches.
Speaker 1: You're probably bringing somebody in the house. Yeah, right, because
Speaker 1: think about it, they had basically three defensive line coach
Speaker 1: dirty leon and you know if if if you look
Speaker 1: at it, the defensive coordinator was kind of taking care
Speaker 1: of the defensive line two right, So you had like
Speaker 1: three guys, Um, what is he was he always officially
Speaker 1: he wasn't in lineman or was it linebackers? Who's that? Quinn?
Speaker 1: No history history was defensive line. But I bet he can.
Speaker 1: His history is DNA and I bet he can do
Speaker 1: uh linebackers. Yeah, I thought this history was linebackers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: while at some point maybe he did. And then they
Speaker 1: and so if he took care of linebackers as the DC,
Speaker 1: you know, they get rid of George Edwards, Scott mcc
Speaker 1: curly was the assistant I think he had linebacker coach,
Speaker 1: but Edwards was taken care of the linebackers. So they
Speaker 1: had doubled up on a lot of the staffs and
Speaker 1: along with all the analytical guys. Um and by the way,
Speaker 1: Quinn has always been specialized in defensive defensive going all
Speaker 1: the way back to nineteen nine William Mary got you.
Speaker 1: So we'll see what they what happens there. But uh,
Speaker 1: until running backs. Did you just say running backs coach?
Speaker 1: I did, And that's one that they got to fill. Yeah, um,
Speaker 1: but maybe and then maybe the other thing is that
Speaker 1: they were looking to get younger m I don't know, um,
Speaker 1: but um, they would have to bring somebody in I
Speaker 1: think for that. So yeah, it's not like I mean,
Speaker 1: even you know, with the I was gonna say, well
Speaker 1: they got younger at the offensive line. I don't think
Speaker 1: they did. Philbin was about to say age as Solari,
Speaker 1: Rightlari's probably maybe older. Yeah, yeah, so yeah, it'll be
Speaker 1: interesting to see what they do. And Solari has a
Speaker 1: history with McCarthy as well. Yeah, so that they were
Speaker 1: one year together at Green Bay. Um, so yeah, it'll
Speaker 1: be interesting seeing how they how this but you know what,
Speaker 1: there's there's probably coaches on staffs where the head coach
Speaker 1: is gone. Are we down to did somebody get hired?
Speaker 1: Who just got hired? Arizona hire down to three candidates?
Speaker 1: Three candidates? All right, so their staff's probably on hold
Speaker 1: right now that you can kind of pick and choose. Oh,
Speaker 1: I know what I was thinking. The defensive coordinat at
Speaker 1: Denver ended up taking another job. Peyton I think interviewed him. Um,
Speaker 1: so yeah, it'll be interesting seeing what happens with the
Speaker 1: rest of the staff as they as they go along. Okay,
Speaker 1: we've got our final two minutes to talk super Bowl
Speaker 1: that's happening this week. Tell me who's playing for Kansas City?
Speaker 1: Are like, are there wide receivers liking to be in
Speaker 1: this game? Do we know because they were a quarterback?
Speaker 1: They're bone? It doesn't matter who's that obviously, he'll just shove.
Speaker 1: He makes a difference to me. And especially when he
Speaker 1: when he lost Hill, he really took it upon himself
Speaker 1: physically to do more. You know, I've seen him make
Speaker 1: some plays at the end of the game, even the
Speaker 1: Houston Texans over time. He was bawling in that one
Speaker 1: with his legs. You know, I'm I'm impressed with with
Speaker 1: my homes, but I still think. I guess because I'm
Speaker 1: NFC East, I think the Eagles are gonna win. Do
Speaker 1: you recall who you picked at the beginning of the
Speaker 1: season or did you make a pick at the beginning
Speaker 1: of the seasons? Yeah, I don't remember. I picked the
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs at the beginning of the season. I
Speaker 1: didn't remember that until this past week after I picked
Speaker 1: Cincinnati to win the AFC Championship Game over Kansas City.
Speaker 1: Then someone pointed out to me, you picked Kansas City
Speaker 1: to win it. Okay, I was covering myself both ways.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna pick Kansas City to win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: I think I picked Cincinnati. I don't remember who I
Speaker 1: picked in the NFC. I don't I don't trust my
Speaker 1: homes leg I think that that Eagles defense, Eagles defense
Speaker 1: is gonna They're gonna be after You don't want to
Speaker 1: be hobbled going up against that defense. That's exactly right.
Speaker 1: M hmm. Maybe I picked Green Bay. So your pick
Speaker 1: to click is pick the click. You're picking the Eagles
Speaker 1: to win and Graham to have a great game, Okay,
