I 47 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: don't know if I should say it's an all star 48 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: crew or a pickup crew, but no, no, you better 49 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: not say that. No, no, it's a pickup crew right 50 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: now here, Well, it'll be myself, U Nate Newton stepping 51 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: in again on mix shots to see I think he 52 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: wants to be on mix shots. Tell you the truth. Uh, 53 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: and that's what it is. Our special guests will be 54 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: the voice of the Cowboys. Brad Sham will be joining us. 55 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: So and then we don't have a show on Friday, uh, 56 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: So we will reconvene here as a group on Monday 57 00:03:54,640 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: of it'll be of game week, right date. The day 58 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: is game day, Game day is two is two day. Yeah, 59 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: that's a great yeah, yeah, that's a great question. That's 60 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: a sharp now scheduled for Tuesday, right right now. It 61 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: never can count on things. You never know, but I 62 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: did see where Baltimore successfully got on their airplane and 63 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: was going to Pittsburgh. So and they didn't have anybody 64 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: test positive today so far, but I assume they all 65 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: tested before they got on the plane, so that was 66 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 1: a good news for bio tested positive yesterday, but yesterday 67 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: they did yes, And then Pittsburgh they're starting center. Maurice 68 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: Pouncy tested positive this morning, so he won't be playing 69 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: in the game. Yep, Marquise Pouncy is out, I mean, 70 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: and so I mean that's a last minute deal. I'm 71 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: looking over here at NFL Network. They've got their pregame going, 72 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: and uh, it looks like a beautiful day for foot 73 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: ball there. And ever since, you got the rest of 74 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: your day lined up, because you've got football starting at 75 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: two thirty right after Mick shots, and then you get 76 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: to watch the Christmas tree lighting at Rockefeller Center to night. 77 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they starts at seven o'clock. I have the 78 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: eggnog ready with that one tried. And that is why 79 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: they're playing in the afternoon because NBC decided they cannot 80 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: pre empt the tree lighting at Rockefeller Center, so they're 81 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 1: playing alongside that they didn't trust if the Ravens are 82 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: going to do right. You know, they didn't want to 83 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,359 Speaker 1: hang their hats on a game that's been moved what 84 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: two or three times already, So they said, you know what, 85 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna go with a shared thing. The tree is 86 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: gonna be there. We don't know about the football team, 87 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: so you know what, this doesn't This doesn't happen, I 88 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: bet too often. But the Dallas Cowboys, after they finished 89 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 1: their practice already and finished their meetings, their afternoon prep 90 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: work for the game is watching the game this afternoon 91 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: here at the Ford Center. Nah, so they read right now, 92 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: that's right. I bet you never had a team meeting 93 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: that you watched the game when when you were playing. 94 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: But they decided that since they've got so many days 95 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: to prepare for the game, um, that they would, uh, 96 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: you know, use this too. And and uh, my understanding 97 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 1: is they're gonna watch it from their position groups, so 98 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: not everybody together in one spot. Uh, they'll go into 99 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: the position group meeting everyone together. No, you don't need 100 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 1: to be together or sharing, you know you want to 101 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: you want to have some stuff. Man, This is like 102 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: going to a theater or something, you know, like like 103 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: being a camp right, this is what this is about. 104 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: Maybe they'll have that kind of feel and you could 105 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: enjoy the session. Maybe they'll open the concession makes the 106 00:06:55,200 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 1: Ford Center, you know. And of course it happens a 107 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 1: lot where you get an opportunity, like when you have 108 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: your bye week and the team that you're going to 109 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: be playing next is doesn't have the same bye week 110 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: that you have, and so like on a Sunday on 111 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: your bye week, you could sit there and watch the game, 112 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: but you're not going to do it as a team 113 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: together because you're off on your own on a bye week. 114 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: The other difference here is, as Mike McCarthy pointed out 115 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: in this press conference this morning, is they've already done 116 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: a couple of days of work on the Ravens, and 117 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: so this is what makes this unique is now they've 118 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: done some work there and the advanced scouting reports on 119 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: and also try to figure out who might be available 120 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: for the Ravens next week. And now as a team 121 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: they can sit down and watch that team play live. 122 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: And so that's what makes this unique. Over and preparation 123 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: time as well. Yeah, because they would they would have 124 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: had their virtual meeting yesterday. Remember, they couldn't come in 125 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: on Monday and Tuesday, but they met, uh, and it 126 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: sounded like Mike talked about we did our installations already. Uh. 127 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: And then they'll you know, continue today and then they'll 128 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: watch the game, and then tomorrow is the memorial service 129 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: for Marcus Paul. Now they're having at a church with 130 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: the family, close friends, and the Cowboys as a team 131 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: will watch that virtually from here at the Star, So 132 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: there'll be somewhat part of it, and they'll be able 133 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: to go through the memorial service, but from afar as 134 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: we've come to know in this twenty twenty year. Yeah, 135 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: with the COVID restrictions, they can only have so many 136 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: people in the church for the show. In regards to 137 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: the Baltimore game, I mean Cowboys could take advantage of 138 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: this extra preparation time. Right, They're supposed to be playing 139 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 1: them by the schedule. It's supposed to be playing them tomorrow, correct, correct, 140 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: by the schedule. Yeah, try now originally extra days to 141 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: prepare for them. Now having to having said that, watching 142 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: this game, I don't believe Lamar Jackson is gonna play. 143 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: Is that correct? Today? That's my understanding today? Yes, Today, 144 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 1: The problem for the Cowboys them happy for them without 145 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: Lamar in the game. You know, as you watch today's game, 146 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's going to help or hurt 147 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,439 Speaker 1: them in regards to the prep because they're going to 148 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: be a completely different team with a different quarterback because 149 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,079 Speaker 1: there is no other beasts like like the Unicorn and 150 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. Well, and the other part of it is 151 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: that had the game been let's say they had just 152 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: postponed the Steelers game to another week or canceled it 153 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: and the Cowboys and Ravens played on Thursday, then they 154 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: would not be facing Lamar Jackson. And now it looks 155 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: like they will be facing Lamar Jackson when they play 156 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: on Tuesday. Although Billy if if, if he plays, though, 157 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 1: he's not gonna have much practice time. I don't think 158 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: to prepare. The whole team's not having much practice because 159 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: they won't have ten days. I mean they're they're his 160 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: ten I mean his ten days aren't up until later 161 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: in the week, right or almost till the game day 162 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:23,959 Speaker 1: for Lamar Jackson, h right, So so you know, but 163 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: they'll have they'll have, but they're playing. They're playing today, 164 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: so it's only like it's like playing a Saturday game. Right, 165 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: because then they're gonna play on Tuesday instead of Wednesday. 166 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:38,719 Speaker 1: And then right, and then as I went off yesterday, Everson, Uh, 167 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: they get to pray their next game on Monday night, 168 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: while the Cowboys have to play on a short week, 169 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: traveling from the East Coast on Sunday. And you lose Wednesday, Yeah, 170 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: you lose Wednesday. And uh and then they they don't 171 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: get the extra day to practice like Baltimore does. And 172 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: they're the ones that cause problem. So go figure they 173 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 1: have to be the most infected team so far, right, Uh, 174 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 1: it sure looks that way. I mean, and this has 175 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: been gone on for several weeks with them. And that's 176 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: that's including the staff, not just the players, but including 177 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: the staff, right absolutely, so yeah, right, and you figure 178 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: and you figure, you know that this is an advantage 179 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. Knock on wood. The Cowboys don't have 180 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 1: an issue arise. You know, the Cowboys have extra time 181 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: to repair. It's going to be this will be the 182 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: eleven days in between games. Uh, playing on Tuesday now 183 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: and the bulk of this time all spent preparing for 184 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: the Ravens, while the Ravens haven't been on the practice 185 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: field at all. Even before there's what would have been 186 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,199 Speaker 1: their scheduled game on Thursday, and even since then, preparing 187 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: even for the Steelers, and who knows if their practice 188 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: facility is going to be open for them even this 189 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: weekend because of the number of cases they're still dealing with. 190 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: And so if ever, the Cowboys had an opportunity to 191 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,199 Speaker 1: go on the road and the other part of it, 192 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: and we can get into this as we go along here. 193 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: If you look at the issues that the Ravens have 194 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 1: had on their offensive line, even not in regard to 195 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: COVID but injury issues. They lost Ronnie Stanley, their left tackle, 196 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 1: just like the Cowboys lost theirs. They're piecing it together 197 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: having even going back to the offseason when Marshall Yenda 198 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: is out, you know, just like Travis Frederick for the Cowboys. 199 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: It's not the same Ravens team that took the field 200 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: last year, even from a personnel's standpoint, even without all 201 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: the COVID stuff and so, and their weapons on offense 202 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 1: have been have proven not to be as capable, which 203 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 1: is why they signed Dez Bryant a month ago. Yeah, 204 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: and that's what I picked from my Super Bowl team. 205 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: So that seems to be tanked right now. They haven't 206 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: played well at all this year in regards of living 207 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: up to the expectations. So my my AFC Super Bowl 208 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: team is not looking good. Hell for that man, and 209 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: neither is my NFC Super Bowl team good. So we'll see. 210 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: So this will be this will be the first time, 211 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 1: this will be the first time, assuming Dez is active 212 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: for the game against Baltimore, that the Cowboys have to 213 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: face one of their number eighty eights. Right, Michael finished 214 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 1: his career. Now I don't know if I don't think 215 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: I saw him play, and I don't recall if he 216 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: had eighty eight or not, but he is eighty eight. So, uh, 217 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: you know, Drew Pearson finished his career with the Cowboys. 218 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: Michael Irvin finished his career with the Cowboys. We thought 219 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: Dez finished his Uh, and now you'll have two eighty 220 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: eights on the field with CD LAMB were in eighty 221 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: eight going up against the third. Just a little trivia, 222 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 1: there's a well, you know, when you're talking about dads. 223 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: I know you guys saw his workouts in the offseason. 224 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if you did see them, but he 225 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: was all over Facebook. Uh, you know, he's supposed to 226 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: be social distancing. Dad's never paid not one iota to 227 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: social distancing while that was going on, and that was 228 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: in the very early stages. His whole thing was I'm 229 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: getting back to the NFL. He was out there running 230 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: routes and then everyone was saying, well, you know, you're 231 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: just running against air, so you know who you're gonna 232 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: go again. So then he found some defensive back who 233 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: was willing to risk his life as well with Covid 234 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: to go out there and guard him, and so you know, 235 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: he had it together. It has worked out for both 236 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: of them, thank god that you know, nothing serious happened 237 00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: to them. But in regards to his drive, I had 238 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: to admire, you know, what he was going through because 239 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: coming off of an achilles injury, I think he was 240 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: at the time close to thirty. That is a tough deal. 241 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: And he looked pretty good through those practices and workouts, 242 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: and he also looked pretty good in the ball game. 243 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: So I'm happy for Dez. And I mean, come on, 244 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: I don't know, I think all Cowboy fans really hated 245 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: to see how it ended here in Dallas. So just 246 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: good to see him hook up with somebody else. So 247 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: that would have been the twenty eighteen season about this 248 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: time of the year in twenty eighteen a little it 249 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: was late November probably when he signed with the Saints. 250 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: In the first practice he tears his achilles and he 251 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: just turned thirty two a little less than a month ago, 252 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: so he would have just turned thirty at that point. 253 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: And so when you think about it, especially at that 254 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: age and playing that position, they realistically coming off in 255 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: achilles last year. It was going to be an uphill 256 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: climb for him even to get the opportunity to have 257 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: the burst that that I mean, he didn't he was 258 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: he didn't have the same burst that he had early 259 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: in his scureer nobody does at age thirty to begin with. 260 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: And so now that he has had another year to rehab, 261 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: it was going to take a lot of hard work 262 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: for him to get to this point. And it's great 263 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: to see that he is to this point where he's 264 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: playing again in the NFL and was already specimen. He 265 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: was already a physical specimen to begin with, so he 266 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: had kind of a head start in that regard. Uh. 267 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: And let's just remember, as much as you know, his 268 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: burst wasn't there. The desire to catch the ball to 269 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: fight for the ball as long as he, you know, 270 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: had his mental acuity together. You know, he was one 271 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: of the more dangerous receivers in the league when he 272 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: was at his peak, he and Romo there was something 273 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: to behold together. And I'm still my finger still hurts 274 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: from jumping up in the in the in the air 275 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: after I thought he made that catch against Green Bay 276 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 1: and I hit my hand on the ceiling fan. But 277 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 1: I'm still upstanding back, you know, And to this day, 278 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: the NFL is paying for it. He did make the catch. 279 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:28,919 Speaker 1: By the way, the rules, the anal people interpreting the 280 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 1: rules were the ones that screwed it up. Only with 281 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: the cowboys do they say, let's dive a little deeper 282 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: into this than see what's happening here?

And giving 334 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: my popcorn steal and taking care of Bill's Russian to 335 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: get to the end of the season here, geez, they 336 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: kind of like, kind of like the Atlantic Coast Conference, 337 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 1: rushing to get to the college football playoff. Do you 338 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 1: see that yesterday? No? Did they? They canceled games because 339 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: they canceled Notre Dame's last game and Clemson's because uh, 340 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 1: Clemson's got to play this week. But but they canceled 341 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: since Notre Dame already has a tiebreaker and so forth. 342 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: Even if they lost their last game, I think it's 343 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: a would be against Wake Forest. They they went ahead 344 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: and told them, you know what, you don't need to 345 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: play that game. You're in the ACC Championship game. I mean, 346 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:41,360 Speaker 1: they are just they're just ticket They are punching their 347 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: ticket to get a team into the college football playoff 348 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: and avoid upsets, injuries, whatever they can do in order 349 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: to take advantage of this situation where they played more 350 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: games than the Big Ten has and so uh. In fact, 351 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: they they're hoping they punched their ticket to get two 352 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 1: teams in probably Notre Dame in Clemson. About that, yeah, 353 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: because at this point, Ohio State hasn't played enough games, right, 354 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 1: that's right, yeah, and it's a chance that they won't 355 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: get enough games in so here. Herb Street was a 356 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: little bit upset yesterday because he was saying basically that 357 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: teams were just they were just taking They're like, look, 358 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,679 Speaker 1: we can play, but we're not going to play. We 359 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: have decided to just opt out basically, And those teams 360 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: are opting out because either they have a lot of 361 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: problems with personnel or they just said, you know what, 362 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: we don't want to take the SHELACKI And he was 363 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 1: very upset about that, you know, being part of the 364 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 1: the elite at Ohio State, he can't understand that coming 365 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: from some of those acc teams. The fact that he 366 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: just said they bailed. He just called it up what 367 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: he thought it was well dabbled talking about accused Florida's 368 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 1: state of doing just what you said that they canceled 369 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,200 Speaker 1: that game and they blamed it on COVID but they 370 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 1: weren't buying it. And uh and actually Herb Street must 371 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: have said. I didn't hear it, but he said something 372 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:14,400 Speaker 1: about Michigan last night on the College Football Playoff Show, 373 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: and I did see on Twitter that he did about 374 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: a two minute apology to Michigan fans and said he 375 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 1: was unfair with what he said. Come on, man, come on, Kurt, 376 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 1: stick with your guns, stick man. I thought he was going, 377 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 1: man up. I was really kind of proud of him 378 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: for saying and then now he backs off. Yeah, Okay, 379 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: the inactive list is out for the Baltimore Ravens for 380 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: this game, and they've got two players they list as inactive, 381 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,360 Speaker 1: Jake Rogers and Brandon Williams, tackle Jake Rodgers and defensive 382 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: tackle Brandon Williams. I guess all the other ones were 383 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: already ruled out because of COVID. Well, they were on 384 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: they were already on the COVID reserve list. On COVID reserve, 385 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: that's right. And so they don't have enough players to 386 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: put the normal number of players inactive. They just have 387 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: two over the limit. I guess that I wish get here. Yeah, 388 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: they had forty eight players available to choose from instead 389 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 1: of fifty three ring up guys from the practice squad. Yeah. Absolutely, 390 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 1: that's the shame. I'm hoping for a dilapidated roster from 391 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: Baltimore so the Cowboysts can get a win. This is 392 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:36,439 Speaker 1: a boy am I desperate? Well the Cowboys. By the way, Mickey, Yes, Micky, 393 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: I know how much you love fantasy football, but imagine 394 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: what this is doing to fantasy football leagues where normally 395 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: the last week's games would end on a Monday night, 396 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: and now this has stretched a Wednesday afternoon. I mean 397 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 1: normally teams are making their waiver claims and so forth 398 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 1: on Tuesday night into Wednesday, and now the whole thing 399 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 1: is getting pushed back this weeks. Yeah. Yeah, I know 400 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: that's something that concerns you greatly. I know where I 401 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 1: know we're we're delving into this a lot, but you know, 402 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: when you start thinking about the forty nine ers, uh, spags, 403 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 1: I have a question for if one of those guys 404 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: as they travel to Phoenix and they're going to be 405 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,919 Speaker 1: there for like two three weeks and if I'm not mistaken, Uh, 406 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: what if one of them end up testing positive? Do 407 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: they go back to San fran or do they stay 408 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:38,199 Speaker 1: isolated in the Arizona area that one player? Yeah, one thing, 409 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 1: I don't one. Two, it doesn't matter if anyone tests positive. Well, 410 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: they could send them home because if they test positive, 411 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: they're out ten days, or they just leave them in 412 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: the hotel room. Um, but yeah, yeah, No, that's problem 413 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 1: is when you send them home. The problem is you're fighting. Uh. 414 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: If you give them a rental car, they can go 415 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: by themselves home. Yeah, I was gonna say, so to 416 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 1: drive home or what what's who's who's who's gonna who's 417 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: gonna pilot that play? Are they are they called? Are 418 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: they called? They called the Jones charter service, you know, 419 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:22,679 Speaker 1: covid Air that's gonna be dealing load them up in 420 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: the cargo sesson and bring them home. So I would 421 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,120 Speaker 1: think that they would just isolate in their hotel room. 422 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 1: I don't think I would think so too. Yeah, that'd 423 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: be tough to be away from home and be isolated 424 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 1: in the hotel room. And by the way, along those 425 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: lines I presented when I heard that they had that 426 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: issue going. I thought that the perfect scenario for San 427 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: Francisco would be to come here and they could stay 428 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 1: at the Omni and Arlington workout at Globe Life Park, 429 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: the Rangers old ballpark which is now made into a 430 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: football stadium, and play games here the next two here 431 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 1: again and then and then they would be playing against 432 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: the Cowboys the third week. And apparently that that was 433 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 1: seriously considered, although they decided to go to Arizona Route instead. Yeah, 434 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 1: it sounded like they wanted, dude, they preferred to practice 435 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 1: in good weather outdoors. They I guess they think we 436 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 1: have winter here and they would have hit thirty degree temperatures. 437 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: But not they're not practicing it right right, goodness gracious. So, 438 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 1: by the way, I think I mentioned it the cow guess, 439 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: I guess, Mickey, Mickey, hold on a second, I guess 440 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 1: being in California, they don't have indoor practice facilities like 441 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: every high school in Texas has. Bill just couldn't help 442 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: himself to get that shot in about Texas football. No, 443 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,440 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, speaking of practicing, the Cowboys were 444 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 1: outdoors today and uh, Mike McCarthy termed the practice beforehand 445 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: as like one that you would have coming back from 446 00:27:55,800 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 1: a bye since they haven't practiced since a week ago Wednesday, 447 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: and so it was a lighter practice. They you know, 448 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,199 Speaker 1: they might have had shells. I don't even know if 449 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: they had that on. So uh. He wanted to make 450 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 1: sure that after sitting around, while not sitting around but 451 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 1: not doing much physical activity, that they didn't have this 452 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:20,919 Speaker 1: hard practice and then guys get soft tissue injuries. He 453 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: did point out that, as he said earlier, you know, 454 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: Zack Martin still going to be out a couple of weeks. 455 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 1: They think Cam Irving maybe back sooner. So from from sooner, 456 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if that means, you know, they're they're 457 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: gonna play, They're gonna play Tuesday Sunday. I don't know 458 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: if if a guy that's missed this much time can 459 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: practice maybe twice during the week and be ready to 460 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: play on Sunday. In Irving's case, I would imagine Zach 461 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: misses all that. I also noticed that Anthony Brown was 462 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: at least out on the field, but he was doing 463 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: rehab work with the strength and can auditioning coaches so 464 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: and the trainers, so he still kind of hung up 465 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: on those ribs. Alden Smith didn't practice. I think it 466 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 1: was illness. We'll see when the official report comes out. 467 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: Tyler Biadish, Remember they put him on IR and he 468 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 1: had to stay three weeks. But at least I saw 469 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: him standing out there watching practice, so that's kind of 470 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: a good sign for him. And DeMarcus Lawrence and Ezekiel 471 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 1: Elliott worked off to the side when they were doing 472 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,959 Speaker 1: a stretch and special teams and they were working on 473 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: the resisting chords. So so anyway, that's kind of an 474 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: update on what took place at practice today. Hey, Mickey, 475 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: let me let me we talk about the Ravens not 476 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 1: practicing much here in the last couple of weeks due 477 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 1: to their COVID outbreak. How about we go back and 478 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: look at how much the Cowboys have practiced in the 479 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: last month. I mean, I mean, I'm looking at the 480 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: calendar here and I'm going back to November seventh. Okay, 481 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: let's say make sure I get this right. As far 482 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 1: as the Cowboys schedule, I mean, over the last month, 483 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 1: the Cowboys haven't because they had during their bye week 484 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: they weren't able to do anything. So it was their 485 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: bye week after November eighth through the fourteenth, they did nothing. 486 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 1: That week on the practice field. Okay. So then it 487 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 1: was the Vikings week and they came back and they 488 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: got three practices in that week, okay. And so then 489 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 1: it's Thanksgiving week and the day after the game they're 490 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 1: not doing much except getting loose a little bit. And 491 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: then you had the Marcus Paul tragedy on last Tuesday, 492 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 1: and so they were out on the field the twenty fifth, 493 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: the day before the game, and then they haven't practiced 494 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 1: since then. Today was the first practice since then December second. 495 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: So we're talking since November seventh the Cowboys, and this 496 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: is December second, the Cowboys have had four practices. Am 497 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: I adding that up right? I believe. I'm pretty sure 498 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: that's what it is, because they had none. They had 499 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 1: none during their bye week three, the week of the 500 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 1: Vikings game one which probably was more of a walkthrough 501 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: than anything, you know, just the day before the game 502 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 1: and whatever they normally do, which is all right. So 503 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 1: that whether it's four practices and now they've been off 504 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 1: basically for a week, well they might have done something. 505 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 1: They might have done something that Wednesday before the bye 506 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: week took place, with the four days in a row off, 507 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 1: did they do something Wednesday before that, I think they 508 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 1: had to shut it down that Wednesday shut it down. 509 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 1: They Yeah, it was it was the week the bye week. 510 00:31:55,440 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: They that was when played Pittsburgh on the eighth and 511 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 1: they had to shut down because of Pittsburgh where that 512 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 1: couldn't do anything positive, That's right, And so what they 513 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 1: had planned to do during the bye way it was 514 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: all whatever. It was virtual it got canceled. They got 515 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: canceled on field stuff. So they've had they've been on 516 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: the practice field really for a practice four times since 517 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: November seventh. So that's just spended twenty five days. Here's 518 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 1: here's a here's a question for your spags. You know, 519 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:35,719 Speaker 1: this is so foreign to to myself as a former player, 520 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 1: if I were to put myself in the position that 521 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 1: they're in now as the present players. Okay, so, uh, 522 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 1: if I'm injured, such as a Zach Mardin or Cam Irving, uh, 523 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 1: and it's time for me to come back and practice. 524 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 1: And so here I am. I'm still a little gimpie, 525 00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 1: been doing my little rehab and trying to stay not 526 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 1: too active. But is it an advantage to not practice 527 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 1: as much after you're coming off of an injury? Right? 528 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: That's what I was gonna ask you. Ever suggest in general, 529 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 1: even at this point in the season, how much do 530 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 1: they need practice? Well, once again, because we started off 531 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 1: the way we started, they never really got into that routine. Okay, 532 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 1: so that can be a problem for anyone that's healthy 533 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 1: or not healthy. But if you're coming off of an injury. 534 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: If I'm coming off an enjy, I was blessed I 535 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 1: didn't get hurt that much. But if I'm coming off 536 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: of an injury, I don't really want to come out 537 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: there and do too much. And I'm not gonna be 538 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 1: too upset if we don't have practice, because what I'm 539 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 1: the other part of that that scenario is fags. If 540 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: I'm hurt and I go home, or if I'm even 541 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: healthy and we don't practice, they still would say do 542 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 1: something at home, right, I mean They're not just laying 543 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,399 Speaker 1: up on the butts and sitting up chilling, right, I mean, 544 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 1: I mean they still should have a routine. I know, 545 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 1: if I was playing, if I know I'm not getting 546 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:20,399 Speaker 1: enough practice, I'm gonna do something myself. Even though they 547 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 1: have shut down the practice field because of COVID, I'm 548 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 1: still gonna go home as a healthy person and do 549 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,720 Speaker 1: something to stay active. I'm still gonna try to find 550 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 1: somewhere outside to whereever some my back peeling things in 551 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,799 Speaker 1: that nature, Everson. If I'm Andy Dalton, the last two 552 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,240 Speaker 1: days with that with the cowboy with the stars shut 553 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 1: down where they can't go up to the star and 554 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: do anything, I'm going to Dak Prescott's backyard. I'm getting 555 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,879 Speaker 1: my receivers and Monday and Tuesday this week, I'm out 556 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 1: there throwing to my receivers.

Last from the past. Oh my god, 613 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 1: I think I think I just read I think I 614 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,759 Speaker 1: just read a note that the last time Pittsburgh lost 615 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:39,399 Speaker 1: a game, RG three started it for Baltimore last year. 616 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 1: Oh okay, so that's that's when that that Baltimore. The 617 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:50,719 Speaker 1: Baltimore defense was balin and Pittsburgh didn't have Big Bin right, 618 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 1: that's right. Who was playing quarterback? Who was playing quarterback 619 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,560 Speaker 1: for Pittsburgh. It would have been in Mason Rudolph. I 620 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 1: believe that probably unless unless he was over suspended. He 621 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 1: and Miles Garrett. Yeah, I try so. Anyway, we get you, 622 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:12,320 Speaker 1: We get you ready for Cowboys and Ravens with a 623 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:18,759 Speaker 1: little Ravens Steelers action. Uh this afternoon. And one thing 624 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 1: we talked about Everson yesterday. When you look at the 625 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:27,800 Speaker 1: NFC East and the opponents for NFC East teams the 626 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,440 Speaker 1: next couple of weeks, and now you look at this 627 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,440 Speaker 1: situation that Baltimore is going through, and uh, it'll be 628 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,799 Speaker 1: interesting to watch them the next three hours and see 629 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:41,240 Speaker 1: how they look. But believe it or not, don't now, boys? 630 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:50,279 Speaker 1: Ready three and eight? Ready, Everson. I can't go through 631 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:54,920 Speaker 1: this every week. Man, You're killing me. I was so, 632 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 1: I was so you know, upbeat last week, and then 633 00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:04,279 Speaker 1: I fell into a depression and I'm just climbing back 634 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,640 Speaker 1: out of bed. Man, come on, don't don't do me 635 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:08,839 Speaker 1: like that. Well, we're gonna We're gonna help you. We're 636 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,080 Speaker 1: gonna help you out because when you look at the 637 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 1: other three teams and who they have to play. The 638 00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:21,320 Speaker 1: Giants next two games at Seattle and against Arizona for 639 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 1: Washington loss loss, They're at Pittsburgh and at San Francisco, 640 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:32,200 Speaker 1: and Philadelphia's loss at Green Bay and New Orleans. So 641 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,360 Speaker 1: there's a lot of losing the cross loss. Now, the 642 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 1: big question is Dallas at Baltimore and Cincinnati. Can they 643 00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:44,000 Speaker 1: Can they win two straight? Oh my god, or even 644 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,680 Speaker 1: one straight? Or even one straight, they might be a 645 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 1: tie for first place. I tried, and then they'd be 646 00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 1: they be tied for first with the home game against 647 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 1: San Francisco and San Francisco might be the toughest game 648 00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 1: they got the rest of the way. I hate let's 649 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,040 Speaker 1: just say it. I hate to say it, trust me, 650 00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 1: I hate to say it, but those New York Giants, 651 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:12,080 Speaker 1: they look really good. Backup quarterback though. Oh now, who 652 00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:16,239 Speaker 1: Who's Who's in now? Well, Daniel Joe Daniel Jones is 653 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,080 Speaker 1: out this week. He's out at least this week. See, 654 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,160 Speaker 1: but by the time we by the time we play, 655 00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:29,320 Speaker 1: it'll be okay. He'll be just fine. Defense, that's defense 656 00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 1: is still balling, guys, and and we we we don't 657 00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:37,360 Speaker 1: know much about that here lately. But a good defense 658 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:41,120 Speaker 1: can keep a bad offense in any ball game. All 659 00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:42,800 Speaker 1: you gotta do is get a little luck from that. 660 00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,279 Speaker 1: And they have been they have been really doing it 661 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,920 Speaker 1: on defense. Hey, with Lamar Jackson coming back for Baltimore 662 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,640 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys game, I mean, Daniel Jones will be 663 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,120 Speaker 1: back for the Giants game. I expect Joe Burrow to 664 00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,719 Speaker 1: be back with the Cowboys play Cincinnati nixt week. He 665 00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:01,000 Speaker 1: already recovered. Jimmy Garoppolo will be back for the Niners. 666 00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:04,000 Speaker 1: You'll be out there in the boot or something. And 667 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:07,080 Speaker 1: Ron Jaworski will be back for the Eagles where they 668 00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,480 Speaker 1: play them. Then I'm coming back and Ron's coming back. 669 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:16,359 Speaker 1: All right, Well, here's what's the most I was gonna say. 670 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:20,680 Speaker 1: Here's here's the hang up on all that. When I 671 00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,200 Speaker 1: looked at the stats, the Cowboys are giving up one 672 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty six point four yards rushing a game, 673 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:33,200 Speaker 1: and by no surprise, that's dead last in the National 674 00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,960 Speaker 1: Football League. So we can sit here and talk all 675 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:40,399 Speaker 1: we want about, you know, the problems they have offensively, 676 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:45,279 Speaker 1: they aren't compensating for them their problems defensively. And even 677 00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:48,400 Speaker 1: in the game they won against Minnesota, they gave up 678 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,440 Speaker 1: twenty eight points. Um, they gave up more than one 679 00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:55,920 Speaker 1: hundred yards rushing. Again. Uh So until from dance some 680 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,280 Speaker 1: good passing yards as well, right, until that gets fixed. 681 00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:04,200 Speaker 1: H then they don't have the ability to compensate for 682 00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 1: the struggles they'll have on offense, with both of those 683 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:13,960 Speaker 1: offensive tackles probably missing um the next two games. Uh 684 00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,840 Speaker 1: And as we saw, not only do they not protect 685 00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,680 Speaker 1: the quarterback with four of the five guys on that 686 00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:25,560 Speaker 1: offensive line backups, but they are not really opening anything 687 00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:31,279 Speaker 1: up to run the football either. So that's why we 688 00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:34,719 Speaker 1: always go for it on fourth down, no matter where 689 00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:38,120 Speaker 1: the ball is. Is that what you're telling that's my theory? 690 00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,080 Speaker 1: And ill and why is that again? He said, that's why, 691 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,279 Speaker 1: that's why, that's why we that's why we always go 692 00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,920 Speaker 1: for it on fourth down. Uh and no matter what 693 00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:55,920 Speaker 1: the ball is placed, because those dire, that dire situation 694 00:43:56,080 --> 00:44:01,160 Speaker 1: that Stagnola has so artfully pointed out. And then we 695 00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:04,600 Speaker 1: can and then we can throw in that they're thirty 696 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:12,560 Speaker 1: first in the turnover differential with a minus thirteen. I 697 00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:24,520 Speaker 1: believe they were thirty thirty first in giveaways with twenty three, 698 00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:35,319 Speaker 1: and when it came to fumbles lost, they are dead last. 699 00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:40,759 Speaker 1: What about points giving up? Well, I can look that 700 00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,799 Speaker 1: up if you guys talk amongst yourself. I'm pretty sure 701 00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,880 Speaker 1: by the last, because I heard them talk about some 702 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:51,480 Speaker 1: other poor team was having that problem. I can't remember 703 00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,719 Speaker 1: who it was, but I heard that this past weekend. Well, 704 00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,120 Speaker 1: and they'd be thirty second in the league and giveaways 705 00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:00,200 Speaker 1: if they factored in failed fake putts and on the 706 00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:04,719 Speaker 1: fourth down plays and to giveaways too. But we might 707 00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:10,320 Speaker 1: be leading the league in successful uh fake field goals 708 00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:14,880 Speaker 1: and punts as well. So and ever something, you were 709 00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:19,640 Speaker 1: dead right thirty second in points giving up per game. 710 00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,320 Speaker 1: M you had to look that up, Mickey. I needed 711 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:28,040 Speaker 1: to double check. I didn't want to just assume you 712 00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,200 Speaker 1: didn't just want to dump on them. Yeah, you wanted 713 00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,560 Speaker 1: to make sure there was a righteous dump. I got 714 00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:37,680 Speaker 1: have you. What's the games? There's no way another team 715 00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:41,280 Speaker 1: is given up for three hundred and fifty nine points 716 00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:48,360 Speaker 1: in eleven games, so that's thirty two. Well something a 717 00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,800 Speaker 1: game they're giving up hard to win when your offense 718 00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:56,400 Speaker 1: is struggling and your defense is doing that. You know 719 00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,480 Speaker 1: what though, Mickey, Yes, there is hope on the horizon 720 00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:03,680 Speaker 1: for you because you've got Brad Sham and Nate Newton 721 00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:07,719 Speaker 1: joining you tomorrow.

That's right. Your ratings are gonna take tomorrow, Mickey. Now, 724 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:19,440 Speaker 1: if they tank, it'll be because of the person leading 725 00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:27,600 Speaker 1: the show.
