1 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: The following is a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 2 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:16,799 Speaker 1: and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club. This is nick shot 3 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,920 Speaker 1: screening live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the official 4 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:25,599 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys at now. Here are Bill Jones, Everson Wolves, 5 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: and Nicky Spagnola. And here we are. It is a 6 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: Thursday inside our very own SWBC Mortgage Studios. And I'm 7 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 1: gonna start off this Thursday show with a question for you, 8 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: Everson Walls. You remember Phil Pas Derek back in the 9 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: l with My Men, number seventy five. He was known 10 00:00:53,040 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: for the most benign rule change probably in football. Uh 11 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: he kept getting drawn off sides by George Young in 12 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 1: an extremely important game of ours. We end up losing 13 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: it because he kept being drawn off sides by the 14 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 1: encroachment of the D lineman. And now they have the 15 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: rule that the D lineman can't do that anymore. Thank you, Philips. 16 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:27,919 Speaker 1: And I remember it. False start number seventy five, Philip 17 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: pos Derek. And the reason I bring that up is 18 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: that our own Mickey Spagnola has earned the title false 19 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: start Mickey today because as we were just getting started, 20 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: as we pulled back the curtain behind the scenes, it 21 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 1: was comical hearing Mickey gets set up at his home, 22 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: s WBC mortgage student. It made you think of big 23 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: that is very cool. It made me think of Philip 24 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: pos now because because he got called for holding about 25 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: five times in that night nineteen eighty six game when 26 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: when any light broke his wrist. When it was all 27 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: said and done, even after all of those holding calls, 28 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: we still had a chance with the Dorset screen pass. Yeah, 29 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 1: colect the two yard line and once again bring it 30 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: back holding once again, somebody got called for holding, right, yeah, somebody? Yeah. 31 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,959 Speaker 1: So you know when I remember, so you know what 32 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: I remember about Philip pots Derek. Not only that game. 33 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: So it was game nine in eighty six. Both teams 34 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: were six and two, the Cowboys only one one more 35 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: game and the Giants went undefeated the rest of the 36 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: way to win the Super Bowl. By the way, in 37 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: eighty seven, during the strike, Philip pots Derek disappeared. He 38 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 1: never came back after the strike, and they made me 39 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 1: go to his house and knock on the door. The 40 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: newspaper did, right, I said, no, I don't want to 41 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: do that. Oh yeah, yeah, we need to do that. 42 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: We need to comment from him. So I went and 43 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,519 Speaker 1: I believe his wife answered the door and now feel's 44 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: not available. Now Now every time he sees me, I'm 45 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: act like he's act like I'm his best friend. Phil 46 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: Philos is a self proclaimed um computer geek. Actually, I 47 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: think if I'm not mistaken, Phil built his own computer, 48 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: I could believe that. So, so what you're saying, Everson 49 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: is Mickey needs to invite Philip pos Derek over to 50 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: his house at one thirty every single day so that 51 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: Nicky can get set up for Mick shots every day. 52 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: That's what you're doing. Can tell him what not to do. 53 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: All I want to say one last day so we 54 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: can go on and talk about the Cowboys. All I 55 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: gotta say is if my if my phone froze up, 56 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: nothing happened at my end. Okay, shots fired, Chris, I think, sorry, Chris. 57 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: Shots fired at Chris. And I'm told that as this 58 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: poem maybe frozen, so we may or may not have 59 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 1: frozen on my end. All right, all right, he's there, 60 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: Chris Beam says, he is there. All right, let's kick 61 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: things off. I'm seeing a quote from Jalen Smith as 62 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: he is talking with the media as we speak, probably 63 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: and he describes this game against the Washington football team 64 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 1: as a must win game. It's a must win, it's 65 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: a must win both of these games, not only this 66 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: week but against Philadelphia next week. How would you describe it. 67 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: Let's start with you, VICKI. I think that Mike McCarthy 68 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: described it as this whole thing is about winning one 69 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: game each week, and frankly, this is a big game 70 00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: for us, because his point was if you win division games, 71 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: you can win the division no matter what else happens. 72 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 1: Is that he said, normally, in normal seasons, the magic 73 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 1: number in your division is if you get to four, 74 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 1: the probability of getting into the playoffs increases, and five 75 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: or six means you're probably in. And I think if 76 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: you look at it, I believe the last I want 77 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: to say, the last three years, maybe four, the Cowboys 78 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: have gone five and one. They went three and three 79 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, Dak lost twice to the Giants, the 80 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 1: opener by one point and then another one by I 81 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: believe it was two points, and then they cashed in 82 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: the final game against Philadelphia because they didn't need to 83 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: win it to improve their playoff situation. So three and 84 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: three and twenty sixteen all three losses in the division, 85 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: and then the next four years, did I count right? 86 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 1: Seventeen seventeen eighteen? Long time? The next the next three 87 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: years they went five and one. Sounds good to me, spags. Yeah, 88 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 1: we'll just take your word for it. Yeah, that sounds good. 89 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: Where your yes man making just paying attention to me? Yeah, 90 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: that's WHA's your show? Thank god? Thank god? That's exactly So. 91 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 1: How many how many wins is it gonna take to 92 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: win this NFC East four win the division or the division? 93 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: I'm talking overall division? How many of you got? What's 94 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: your number overall overall? What's the what's the record? Oh? 95 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: I think it just wins, just win all shakes out. 96 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: It's gonna take seven or eight. Yeah, hey, look, I'm 97 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: optimistic on we keep picking on the NFC East, I 98 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: get it. And then the one win the one win teams, 99 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: what are they look at? How many is that like? Nine? 100 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: Like nine? One? No? Wow? At eleven? Yeah? Right? One? 101 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: Jets have zero and there's ten other teams that have 102 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: one win. Two of them are playing tonight and they 103 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: are NFC East teams that would be the Giants are 104 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: playing the Eagles tonight. Yeah, maybe not the Eagles already 105 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: have one tie on their so we'll see. I mean, 106 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: the Eagles, what are they now? They're one three and 107 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: one right now, is that right? And so they could 108 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: be one three and two if they tie the Giants tonight. Okay, 109 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: they're one four in one right now? Would that's pretty 110 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: bad if they died? So all right, so give us 111 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: get us up to speed on what's going on at 112 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: the Star in Fresco. Mickey after hearing Mike McCarthy this 113 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: morning and reports from the practice field, we didn't go 114 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: through the walkthrough yesterday. Uh sounds like he's got a 115 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: pain in the neck. Uh. That's I like that. Those 116 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: whole defense. He was supposed to maybe do something, maybe 117 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 1: some limiting stuff today it seemed incur he told be 118 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: ready he was able to go. Um, yeah, we lost 119 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: were Mickey there. They are hoping for something and we 120 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: are hoping to get Mickey back here momentarily. One thing 121 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: I'll add to what Mickey is saying there, Everson is 122 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: a tape to Mike McCarthy show last night. Asked him 123 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: about Randy Gregory and he says Gregory looks good on 124 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: the practice field. He talked about him at his press 125 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: conference this morning too. Today's a big day for everybody. 126 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: But there's no reason to think that Gregory wouldn't get 127 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: through the padded practice today and be ready to go 128 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: on Sunday to make his debut. How much do you think, 129 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: Everson that the Cowboys could use a Randy Gregory on 130 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: this defense? Well, I don't know if his mentality or 131 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: his knowledge of the defense is going to help at all, 132 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: but I know he's gonna have the freshest legs that 133 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: anyone on the field is going to have. This guy 134 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: has been waiting for so long to get back in 135 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: this I'm sure mentally and fifth mentally and emotionally, he's 136 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: really going through some stuff right now. I just happened 137 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 1: to be a little privy to some of the things 138 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:08,079 Speaker 1: that he's been going through. My former agent, Steve Weinberg, 139 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: has been really working behind the scenes really to try 140 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: and get Graby back in. He's been talking about this 141 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: since I was up for the Hall of Fame in Minneapolis. 142 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: I think there was a couple at least three I 143 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,839 Speaker 1: think three years ago, So that's how long this whole 144 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: endeavor is taking. So I'm just glad that he's able 145 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: to get back in. Obviously, when you're talking about the 146 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: issues he's been having, the football aspect is really secondary. 147 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, in the big scheme of things, 148 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: he's always had these issues, and drug usage has been 149 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: the you know, been the reason. I guess that culminated 150 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 1: in that. And so I'm just hoping he can I'm 151 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: hoping football can bring him peace. That's really what I'm 152 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: hoping that football can bring him a little stability and 153 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: structure in his life. And also from on the field, 154 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: I'm think that he can can pick up well Altum 155 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: Smith left off because Algut Smith's uh productivity has dropped 156 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: a bit, but he carried us as far as he 157 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: could for a guy that's been out for longer than Gregory. 158 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: I think he said five years when we first started 159 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: our mix shots this season. So yeah, Randy, greg we 160 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: could play a big part in this defense is uh 161 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: hopefully researchers and success. Yeah, and uh, you know, just 162 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: getting up to speed. Uh, you know, that's one of 163 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 1: the one of the things did in practice the last 164 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: couple of weeks he's been able to work out the 165 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks is getting him up to h 166 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: football conditioning and but the beauty of it. For as 167 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: far as the Cowboys are concerned, they can use him, 168 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: uh in past rush situations where you know, I think 169 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: he can have some sort of an impact. Um, I don't. 170 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:58,199 Speaker 1: Do we have Mickey back yet? I don't, no, no yet. 171 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: But anyway, I mean the Cowboys, they've had bigger issues 172 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: beyond the pass rush on this defense obviously through the 173 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: first six games of this season. I mean, we talk 174 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: about the turnovers, the giveaways on offense, and Everson you 175 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: talk on and on about takeaways on defense and the 176 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 1: lack thereof, but even just stopping other teams. Just because 177 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott fumbles a couple of times and Andy Dalton 178 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: throws an interception against the Cardinals, the defense has to 179 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: stop the other team. And now we don't. We don't 180 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,199 Speaker 1: always have to waive the flag anytime there's a turnover 181 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: by our offense. I think that's what's so disheartening. We 182 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: watch other teams. I don't though you do it. You 183 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: see it, Bill, You watch other teams and you see 184 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: the scores of these games, and you go, man, this 185 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: is kind of refreshing, you know, to see someone playing defense. 186 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: And it's a shame that we have to view our 187 00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: defense in that manner because it just seems that no 188 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: matter who's coaching, no matter what the system is, with 189 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: the exception of the Giants game, you haven't seen any 190 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: consistent productivity as a group. I think the best game 191 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,079 Speaker 1: they had obviously was the Giants, and what you saw 192 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,839 Speaker 1: was it started where it should start. The front four. 193 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: They were moving, they were they were moving that offensive line, 194 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: they were controlling the line of scrimmage, and they were penetrating, 195 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: which gave Jayleu Smith and Joe Thomas a chance to 196 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: really show what they can do. And so that's the 197 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: way it's supposed to fit, you know, But we've only 198 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: seen that once out of six games, and again and 199 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: again that was against the Giants team that had scored 200 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: one touchdown in the previous three weeks or something like that, 201 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,439 Speaker 1: or had gone two weeks without scoring a touchdown. So 202 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: how much of it was the fact they were playing 203 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: the Giants and how much of it was the Dallas defense, 204 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: which to that point, the Washington football team has about 205 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: as many weapons on offense as what the Giants do, 206 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 1: which is not much. They got Terry McLaurin, second year 207 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: receiver out of Ohio State, and that's about it on 208 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 1: that offense. So if ever there was an opponent that 209 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: might be something that can fix this Dallas defense. The 210 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: opponent is that what you call it fixing? Fixing it how, 211 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if it'll fix it, but it'll definitely 212 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: placate the fans and hopefully the owner just a little bit, 213 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: because at this point, what you're looking at is just 214 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: in the whole season of futility. And what we saw 215 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: last year was different because you know, we started out 216 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: three and old and you know, everybody was bawling. It 217 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: was all you know, everybody's jumping all of ourn and 218 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: we're talking super Bowl. Well, now this is just a 219 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: continuation of how we kind of ended last season defensively, 220 00:14:55,800 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: the ineptness, the lack of run defense that the I'm sorry, 221 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: not just lack of just the non existence of a 222 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: run defense. So now when you need your defense to 223 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: step up, when your quarterback is out for the entire season, 224 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: when you have a running back who's kind of having 225 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: his fumble woes just a little bit and we know 226 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: he'll come out of at this point, this is when 227 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: you need a defense to answer. We're like, okay, we 228 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: got this. You guys will go ahead and settle in and 229 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: and get your stuff together. We're gonna make sure and 230 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: we're gonna ramp up what we need to do to 231 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: keep this team in the in the first place in 232 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: the NFC East.

We know that none 287 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: of the problems have been nicky. Yeah, I just point 288 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: out one thing I had. I didn't change anything. He didn't. 289 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 1: I didn't touch anything. It's just I didn't touch anything, 290 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: that's right, he says. He says, I did refresh my computer. Anyway, 291 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: All right, you're you're refreshed and ready to go. Now, 292 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: you were talking about the practice report you were caught 293 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: in you were cut off in mid sentence. Right now. 294 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 1: The key thing is, and I guess we're gonna have 295 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 1: to wait till the actual report comes out, is how 296 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: well or how much was Cam irving and able to practice, 297 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: because they're looking at him as the potential starter at 298 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: left tackle now that Brandon Knight is recovering from his 299 00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 1: scope to repair toward meniscus. So he hadn't he hadn't played, 300 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 1: but what part of one game until he got rolled 301 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: up on on that extra point or field goal attempt, 302 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: and then he was ready to come back. They thought 303 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 1: off ir last week and he came down ill. So 304 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: we'll see what he's able to do. Otherwise, I mean, 305 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 1: the next guy's up is Greg Senat or Jordan Mills, who, 306 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: by the way, you know, I've been wondering what's the 307 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: deal with him. He's got seven years experience, he's played 308 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: all all the spots, but I've forgotten that he basically 309 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 1: didn't have any training camp. They signed him and he 310 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: came in and he wasn't I don't know how good 311 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,640 Speaker 1: a shape he was in or if he was ill too, 312 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: but at least this guy's played in the league quite 313 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: a bit. Now, Sanat's got a several games of experience. 314 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: So we'll see where they go at that at that 315 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: tackle position. Uh, it looks like Connor McGovern's probably your 316 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 1: guard over there. Um, so you don't have the ability 317 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: to move Zack Martin around. So now you're gonna have uh. 318 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: And if if Irving can't go, then you're it's the 319 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 1: next guy up, next guy up, next guy up. That 320 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: that would end up at left tackle for you. If 321 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: if Irving can't go, your starter can't go. H. I mean, 322 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: it's unbelievable, but you know what what you guys were 323 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 1: talking about. And I was chomping at the bit to 324 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: come in and say absolutely, just because you have problems 325 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: on offense doesn't mean you should have to have problems 326 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 1: on defense. Right stop somebody. Uh and and remember this, 327 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: this defense last year finished ninth overall in total yards. 328 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 1: This defense this year is on record sending pace to 329 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:59,239 Speaker 1: get more yards than any team in Cowboys history, and 330 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: that includes nineteen sixties. Yea, Now, I know it was 331 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 1: only twelve games, but I bet if you averaged it out, 332 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: it's still going to be more than any other team 333 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 1: in club history. All they lost was four guys, right, 334 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 1: four guys in free agency, Robert Quinn, MALIEK Collins, Byron Jones, 335 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: and Jeff and everybody wanted to get rid of Jeff. 336 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 1: He who who got an interception a couple of weeks ago. 337 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,439 Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, Yes, he did a big interception 338 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: for the Raiders. MALIEK. Collins. Oh, we can't afford him. 339 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 1: I think you can ford him now because they're having 340 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: troubles defensive tackle. I understand the Quinn thing. And I 341 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: don't know how well he's you know, and and and 342 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,959 Speaker 1: I was told last year, Yeah, he got all those sacks, 343 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: but that's all he was about. He didn't hold the 344 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: edge down in the running game. Well, no one's doing 345 00:22:54,640 --> 00:23:00,919 Speaker 1: it now, so I don't get it. So who do 346 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 1: we have? And it's what and it's you know what? 347 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: And ever since, And it was about what you were 348 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: talking about two things. One just mistakes. You know, the 349 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: Kyler We talked about the Kyler Murley run on fourth 350 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,479 Speaker 1: and one or whatever. Hold down the edge? What are 351 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,439 Speaker 1: you collapsing inside? For the third and eleven? The twelve 352 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,120 Speaker 1: yard passed to Larry Fitzgerald. What's the corner doing ten 353 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: yards off the line of scrimmage? You know where the 354 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: ball's going, so what he's not going to run by you. 355 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 1: So it's just like just not playing smart football. And 356 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,719 Speaker 1: who do you blame that on? Do you blame that 357 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,199 Speaker 1: on the coach or do you blame that on the 358 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: defensive leadership. That's the issue that we're having here. It's 359 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,959 Speaker 1: the same problems we had last year with Christmas Shard 360 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: being here, and they talked about the undercutting and things 361 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: of that nature that may have been happening, and all 362 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: those which shouldn't have anything to do with how the 363 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 1: guys are playing on the field, because they still made 364 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,120 Speaker 1: the same mistakes they made last year, making even more 365 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: this year. So is it Mike Nolan it? You know, 366 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: we wanted to blame Jason Garrette for that. Even so 367 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: now all the all the suspects have left, We've got 368 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: new suspects. What is the problem. And at some point 369 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: guys have just got to play, right. I mean, in 370 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: your mind, if it's third and eleven and you're gonna 371 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: play twelve yards off the line of scrimmage, no, you're 372 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: probably not gonna And so what if you get beat, 373 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 1: you just gotta play. You're you're in I'm thinking man coverage. 374 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: On the eighty yard touchdown pass, they send out three receivers. 375 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: The safety got the guy down the slot. The other 376 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: corners got the guy on the other side of the field. Well, 377 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: you probably should have that receiver that you just sat 378 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: on and let go buy you because you were in 379 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: single safety high. Oh yet to do is that's all 380 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,959 Speaker 1: he had to do, was just turning around. Nothing behind me. 381 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,120 Speaker 1: I guess I better run with him. And you've got 382 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: a guy who's known as a deep threat. He runs 383 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,199 Speaker 1: like a four three four. That's his deal. That's what 384 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 1: he does. It's crazy or like the or like the 385 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: early in the game, the end a round to Christian 386 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: Kirk right, Well, they collapsed on that side of the field. 387 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 1: When you see that guy in motion, you at least 388 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: got to respect the fact that they might flip it 389 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: to it. Hey, we've seen end the rounds before, so 390 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: you would think they would game plan for anything that 391 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: has hurt us in previous weeks. And anytime I talk 392 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: about what we're going to see from the upcoming team, 393 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: what you're going to see is what you've already seen 394 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,719 Speaker 1: because you haven't shown you can stop it exactly exactly, 395 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: So at some point you got to think for yourself 396 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: out truly very true. The other part of it go 397 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,439 Speaker 1: ahead making all I was gonna say, all I know 398 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: is it's really hired to win if you keep giving 399 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: up thirty eight points a game, right, And even against 400 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 1: the Giants, they gave up thirty four, and of course 401 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 1: there was an interception return for a touchdown, so the 402 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: defense technically gave up twenty seven in that game. But 403 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,199 Speaker 1: a lot of it, too is just being aware of 404 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: the situation, aware of the strength of the other team, 405 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: which which comes in preparation throughout the week. And they're 406 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: sometimes when the coach doesn't have to tell you that 407 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: you've got video. You know we I'm sure they're on 408 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 1: social media all the time. Turn that crap off every 409 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,120 Speaker 1: once in a while and do like Sean Lee, get 410 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: in there and just watch a video. Just watch YouTube. 411 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:46,679 Speaker 1: You don't have to be this great educated football player 412 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:53,159 Speaker 1: just to study your upcoming competitions tendencies. You know, we 413 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: talked about Worldly, we talked about Brown. I keep getting 414 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 1: his name after Brown to talking about these guys, and 415 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: I have fuss about him all the time. I know 416 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: I do. But once again, I can't necessarily blame them 417 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: too much because they are what they are. We've known 418 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: what they are for years now. Okay, why would we 419 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 1: expect something different from players who haven't shown us any 420 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 1: of that stuff that we're talking about. Why should I 421 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,120 Speaker 1: expect Brown to have any awareness doing the ball game? 422 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: Why should I expect Worldly to cover the fastest man 423 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: on the team on the off on the opposing team 424 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: when he couldn't even cover a tight end in the 425 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: previous game against the Blitz. So what they're doing, I 426 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 1: can't really say I blame them too much. That's like 427 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 1: kicking a horse when he's down. But when it comes 428 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 1: down to it, we need to start signing more players 429 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: with that type of mentality that can make a difference 430 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,640 Speaker 1: in this on this team. So let me ask you, Everson, 431 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: a man with the fifty seven regular season interceptions in 432 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,479 Speaker 1: his NFL career, and another four I think in the 433 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:10,679 Speaker 1: postseason for sixty one total. How much What would you 434 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 1: say the percentage of the plays that you made were 435 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 1: the result of instinctive awareness type stuff as during the 436 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,399 Speaker 1: flow of a game, during the flow of a play, 437 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: as opposed to what you were assigned to do on 438 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,159 Speaker 1: a play. That depends on what part of my career 439 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: you're talking about. When I first went out there, I 440 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 1: knew what the hell I was doing. I just couldn't 441 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: stop anybody consistently, and I had to say, Okay, this 442 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: defense is not made for me to necessarily make plays. 443 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna just I just I just said, you 444 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna be aggressive within myself without trying 445 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: to hurt the defense, because they're gonna come at me anyway. 446 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: So instead of just tucking my tail between my legs, 447 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: I need to go head and rely on those instincts 448 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: that you talked about. Bill. By the second half of 449 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: the season, the clouds were gone. I wasn't playing in 450 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 1: a fog as I was doing the first part. Of course, 451 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: I had all the interceptions in the first part. That 452 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: was just a matter of survival. All of a sudden 453 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: when I get into a second part. Then we started 454 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: getting to the playoffs, we got into a championship game. 455 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: Then years after that. Yes, instinctively, I would say, with 456 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: the teammates that I had, and with the camaraderie and 457 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 1: cohesiveness that we had. As a secondary, almost my entire 458 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: game was about the instincts. Really, we communicated. You know, 459 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: if Ron Fellows was having problems on the other side, 460 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: you know, then we wouldn't have helped him. But as 461 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: far as my play was concerned, that's the only way 462 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: I was able to survive was through my instincts. Because 463 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: as much as we started off that you're in the zone, 464 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: the teams always knew how to put us into man 465 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: to man doing the progress of the play, which means 466 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: they're gonna I'm gonna be by myself. So there's no 467 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: I don't need any knowledge about what I'm doing. I 468 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: need knowledge about what they're doing right. And and so 469 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: you were able to be instinctive in the way you 470 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 1: played because you had that knowledge of what the other 471 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: jan is exactly right. And so now I have to 472 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 1: I have to get into their heads. I have to 473 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 1: get into their heads. And it's not about the game plan. 474 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: The game plan is and it's in you, it's it's here. 475 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: But when it comes down to it, you have to 476 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: shut the game plan. And if Larry Fitzgerald comes out 477 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 1: there at thirty eight years old or whatever he is, 478 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: and it's third and eleven and you run a fourth 479 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 1: freaking two, he's probably running Everson Walls four seven. Lock 480 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: up on this, dude, Lock up on him. You you 481 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: you got to get out of the fog. He was not, 482 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: he was not. There was no clear thought process for 483 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 1: him at this point. He's reeling and he hadn't. And 484 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: our whole defense, a whole secondary, has been reeling all 485 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: all season long. That's the problem. We don't we don't 486 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: have the we're not controlling the pace of the game 487 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 1: in our secondary. All right, We continue with more mix 488 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: shots in a moment. That was my mix shots. That 489 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: was my wall shot right there. That was that was 490 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: That was popa longs aout the computer. Sorry, DBS.

I don't know if they 537 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 1: want to be that far away. No, No, it's in 538 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 1: the bathroom. That's where it is. The Mickey Spagnola we're on. 539 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 1: We're on different different thrones during COVID nineteen protocol. All right, 540 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:45,719 Speaker 1: all right, the news regarding one does Bryant. He apparently 541 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,000 Speaker 1: is on his way to Baltimore and there, you know, 542 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 1: he worked out for the Ravens in August and he's 543 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: headed back there with the idea that they're going to 544 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 1: sign him to their practice squad. If ever, all works out, 545 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: and so does Bryant may have found an NFL home. 546 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 1: We shall see. What do you think? When do the 547 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:10,360 Speaker 1: Cowboys play the Ravens. That is a month or so away, 548 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 1: a little over a month away, So he's got time 549 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:17,399 Speaker 1: to acclimate, to get through COVID nineteen protocol and maybe 550 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 1: gets elevated third. All right, so he's got a Thursday third. Yep, 551 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. That guy has been working non 552 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 1: stop after that Achilles injury a couple of years ago. 553 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,840 Speaker 1: I gotta admit, man, I've been pulling for him for 554 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 1: quite some time. Of course, he posts everything on social media, 555 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 1: so you can take a look at what he's trying 556 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 1: to do. But man, he looks good. He really does 557 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 1: look good. But and everybody's like, well, why don't we 558 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,839 Speaker 1: come back and play for the Cowboys. Well, he looks good, 559 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,920 Speaker 1: but he doesn't look that good because we got some 560 00:35:51,480 --> 00:36:00,360 Speaker 1: even our backups right now at the wide receiver position. Yeah, 561 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 1: think you can play tight end anybody. I don't know. 562 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if ve is blocking on the line 563 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:14,000 Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Ravens making another move as they have acquired 564 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 1: a pass rusher Yunique and Gackway from the Minnesota Vikings, 565 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,759 Speaker 1: who have decided to wave the white flag on this 566 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 1: season as they get a third and a conditional fifth 567 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,880 Speaker 1: round pick for Ingaqway. Uh and the Ravens needed a 568 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 1: pass rusher they got. They got to figure out a 569 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,799 Speaker 1: way to get some pressure on Patrick Mahomes if they 570 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:39,720 Speaker 1: meet in the postseason and with a four man rush 571 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,319 Speaker 1: and um so there you go, and Gockway goes to 572 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,759 Speaker 1: Baltimore and he's of course playing on the franchise tag 573 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 1: this year. It looks like they got to figure out 574 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 1: how to complete some passes too. Quarterbacks struggling throwing the 575 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 1: pool Jackson, that's why they get there. That's why they're 576 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 1: bringing des Brian. Well, they're they're receiving corps not really 577 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,360 Speaker 1: very well, but they're I mean, he's their leading rusher. 578 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,480 Speaker 1: Um but he's not thrown the ball as well as 579 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,440 Speaker 1: he did last year. Have you recall that's gonna be 580 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:17,800 Speaker 1: that's gonna be AFC Super Bowl team still got him. 581 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 1: And that has been the question on Lamar Jackson h 582 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 1: in his career. I mean even going back to college 583 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 1: and especially as rookie year, remember the playoff game against 584 00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:30,319 Speaker 1: the Chargers he was I thought it was just remarkable 585 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 1: to turnaround that he made passing the football from his 586 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 1: rookie year to his UH year last year when he 587 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 1: wins the MVP and um so, I don't know, you 588 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,239 Speaker 1: know a lot of times it's footwork, it's things like 589 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 1: that that it's from a technical standpoint. We saw it 590 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,840 Speaker 1: early in Dak's career where he would have some issues 591 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:53,759 Speaker 1: and really had to focus on that. That may be 592 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 1: something Lamar Jackson has to do. I don't haven't watched 593 00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,719 Speaker 1: him closely enough, but you know when you look at 594 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 1: their weapons, they've got the home run threat in Hollywood Brown. 595 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 1: But uh, and then Mark Andrews a tight end um. 596 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 1: And you know, if if des can stay healthy and 597 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 1: if he's if he's got it, I mean he can 598 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,680 Speaker 1: he could be productive for them. And not only that, 599 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,320 Speaker 1: I like the way that, Yeah, when you're talking Lamar Jackson, 600 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:23,759 Speaker 1: it's so different because he can waste a play. You know, 601 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:25,520 Speaker 1: he can miss a pass. Every once in a while, 602 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 1: it happens, but you know that he has the ability 603 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,479 Speaker 1: to make that up with his legs. So I don't 604 00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:35,440 Speaker 1: think it's as glaring with the issues that that's Fags 605 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 1: was referring to earlier. Uh. Yeah, he might miss a 606 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,759 Speaker 1: first down and ten guy might be open, but you know, 607 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 1: all he's got to do is keep it on second 608 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,240 Speaker 1: down and he could still be left with another first 609 00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,800 Speaker 1: down or even the short third down. So he has 610 00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:54,440 Speaker 1: that luxury that other quarterbacks just don't have. What do 611 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,759 Speaker 1: you think when what do you think when these defensive 612 00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 1: coordinators are going to catch up with this concept that 613 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,479 Speaker 1: that guy can't beat me with his feet, He's gonna 614 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 1: have to beat me throwing the ball. You know. It's 615 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,399 Speaker 1: the same thing with Kyler Murray. He's have to beat 616 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 1: me throwing the ball, not with his feet. If I 617 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 1: got to put eight guys in the box and take 618 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 1: my chances, then I'll do that. Um. I mean he 619 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 1: had guys. I mean, they could have scored fifty points 620 00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,719 Speaker 1: if he just completed half his passes. He was nine 621 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:26,720 Speaker 1: of twenty four. And Kyla Murray typically is a better 622 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,759 Speaker 1: passer than what he showed the other night. And it 623 00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:35,480 Speaker 1: must have been that Cowboy defense. Huh. Actually, so they 624 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: actually Cowboys actually caught Kyler Murray on a night where 625 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:43,520 Speaker 1: he wasn't in sync and he was missing some throws badly, 626 00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,640 Speaker 1: you know, and and some of it it might have 627 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 1: been not been in sync with a receiver or whatever. 628 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,799 Speaker 1: And so that gets to your point when you talk 629 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:55,319 Speaker 1: about these defensive coordinators and the running quarterback and so forth. Well, 630 00:39:56,040 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 1: I would assume that the defensive coaches coach the cowboy 631 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:05,120 Speaker 1: Boys to guard against Kyler Murray running the football. And 632 00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:09,760 Speaker 1: I would think and so part of it is carrying 633 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,719 Speaker 1: out a game plan too, which, by the way, I 634 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 1: know we were kind of rushed to talk about this 635 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:20,600 Speaker 1: yesterday with Sean Lee, uh, you know, doing a conference call. 636 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:25,839 Speaker 1: That was no coincidence that Sean Lee decided yesterday he 637 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 1: was gonna have a conference call. Right. It wasn't like 638 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,480 Speaker 1: they came to him. Oh, Sean, we haven't talked yet. 639 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,440 Speaker 1: Once you talked right now, he had his hand up 640 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,399 Speaker 1: in the air and goes, let me go fix this, right. 641 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:42,399 Speaker 1: And so after I listened to it and a bunch 642 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:46,839 Speaker 1: of the stuff that he said, it wasn't like he 643 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:50,080 Speaker 1: was being ass that he was offering stuff right. Right, 644 00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 1: How do you know if somebody that's talking is not 645 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:54,960 Speaker 1: even in our locker room, or how do you know 646 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 1: it's not coming from an agent that didn't just happen 647 00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:01,040 Speaker 1: to come out of his mouth? Right, So Sean Lee 648 00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:04,160 Speaker 1: knew what he was doing. And that's why they need 649 00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,520 Speaker 1: him on the field. They need him on the field. 650 00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,799 Speaker 1: You were ever since said about they need leadership on 651 00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,399 Speaker 1: the field, somebody to take charge. You know, I thought 652 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,359 Speaker 1: vander Esh was going to do that. Then he gets 653 00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,719 Speaker 1: hurt right away, and it takes a while when you 654 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,160 Speaker 1: come back to not come back and try to big 655 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:24,080 Speaker 1: time everybody. But they need somebody out there to kind 656 00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:28,520 Speaker 1: of be the leader and get guys and let them know, hey, 657 00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,680 Speaker 1: what are you doing? You know you can't do that. 658 00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:35,439 Speaker 1: That's what they need, and so gosh, they just can't 659 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,600 Speaker 1: get him back soon enough. Yeah, you just wish that 660 00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:41,160 Speaker 1: the and I know everyone's flailing right now. It's kind 661 00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:46,759 Speaker 1: of hard to have a a professional relationship with the 662 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:50,239 Speaker 1: way Mike Downs and myself had, you know, because we 663 00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,760 Speaker 1: were successful and because we had the best front line 664 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 1: ever in front of us, then we kind of had 665 00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,680 Speaker 1: the luxury to sit back and talk about what we 666 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,360 Speaker 1: wanted to do in a ball game. We were always 667 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:06,200 Speaker 1: in tune to what we needed to do. Charlie Waters 668 00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,719 Speaker 1: always in tune to what's going on doing the ball game. 669 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:13,279 Speaker 1: When Charlie left Dexter Clean Scale. Yeah, this guy's one 670 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 1: of the smartest people. I don't know, his entire family smart. 671 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,880 Speaker 1: So you kind of rely on people who have those 672 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:23,280 Speaker 1: attributes so that it can make you better as a player. 673 00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:26,359 Speaker 1: And it's not just about you, it's about the entire 674 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:31,000 Speaker 1: secondary having some type of knowledge and continuity. We're tied 675 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,960 Speaker 1: together as with a stream, right, so we need to 676 00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 1: be coordinated. There is no coordination at all in the 677 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,960 Speaker 1: Cowboys secondary. Everybody's everyone seems like they're on their own 678 00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:46,680 Speaker 1: and covering their own asses right now. And it can't 679 00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:50,319 Speaker 1: be that difficult. We were not splitting the atom here 680 00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:55,320 Speaker 1: right just playing defense. It's about the willingness. It's about 681 00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:59,120 Speaker 1: the willingness to do it. It's like Dennis Rodman and rebounds. 682 00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,279 Speaker 1: He's six six, he rebounds everyone in the league. It's 683 00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:06,080 Speaker 1: not supposed to happen logically, but it's not all about that. 684 00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:11,280 Speaker 1: It's about what you're determined to do. It's rebounds about 685 00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,799 Speaker 1: how much you want it. And someone has to take 686 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,600 Speaker 1: the initiative and show how much they want this thing 687 00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:22,239 Speaker 1: to work. Who's the who's the leader, who's the communicator? 688 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:24,319 Speaker 1: In the secondary? It would have to be Thompson, he's 689 00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:29,520 Speaker 1: a safety. Now it would probably be Xavier Woods well, 690 00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,719 Speaker 1: with Xavier being mostly he was He's usually up with 691 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,359 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. Am I wrong? Wow? But he's 692 00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,440 Speaker 1: doing he's doing both and they've been changing that safety 693 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:43,760 Speaker 1: position every game. I mean Thompson this last yeah, Thompson 694 00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:47,320 Speaker 1: was he was playing as a as a dime. Donovan 695 00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:51,440 Speaker 1: Wilson's back there. Xavier's back there. Uh, and now maybe 696 00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,760 Speaker 1: Parker will be back there even more that they signed 697 00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,719 Speaker 1: him to the fifty three man roster. And speaking of 698 00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,520 Speaker 1: dexter cling scale, that's the only other guy I ever 699 00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:03,360 Speaker 1: had the tail when he disappeared to well what the 700 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:07,080 Speaker 1: eighties something or what I figured? I figured. I figured, 701 00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,920 Speaker 1: I figured we finished the show where we started, Mickey 702 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:14,480 Speaker 1: tailing filthy man. Eighties they were a different beast. It 703 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:19,239 Speaker 1: was a different beast better and he never came back. 704 00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:23,440 Speaker 1: He would not. He just went to the and he 705 00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:28,840 Speaker 1: went to the Indianapolis Coat. Okay, all right, Mickey, we 706 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,920 Speaker 1: got maybe a minute left. You got another mix shot 707 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:37,720 Speaker 1: for us? Yes, no, I out with I used it already. 708 00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:39,960 Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, we better let Chris go, man, we 709 00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,879 Speaker 1: better let Chris go to his y. They're on pace 710 00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:48,160 Speaker 1: to give up twenty seven hundred yards this year, So 711 00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:51,280 Speaker 1: if the Eagles win to night, they'll be what two 712 00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:55,680 Speaker 1: four and one, There'll be a half game up. Okay, 713 00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,160 Speaker 1: So the Cowboys could fall out of first place if 714 00:44:58,200 --> 00:44:59,719 Speaker 1: the Eagles win a night. And by the way, the 715 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:04,319 Speaker 1: Eagles did put zach Ertz on ir today. Yeah, so 716 00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:06,880 Speaker 1: ERTs will not be there next week when the Cowboys here, 717 00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:09,360 Speaker 1: Will you want to see a team he won't be 718 00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:13,520 Speaker 1: a week left? Yeah, well yeah, it's uh, he's supposed 719 00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:15,520 Speaker 1: to be out three to four weeks for sure. And 720 00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:19,640 Speaker 1: they lose another tackle already or can't play tonight. Um 721 00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:25,280 Speaker 1: said again their tackle, the left tackle, I think their 722 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,319 Speaker 1: third string left tackle who's supposed to play. Yeah. I mean, 723 00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:31,719 Speaker 1: we'll talk Eagles next week. But you talk about a 724 00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,280 Speaker 1: team that has as many injuries or more than the Cowboys, 725 00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,799 Speaker 1: it's the Eagles. So they do have their quarterback though. 726 00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:42,759 Speaker 1: All right, that does it for Mick. Shots for this Thursday, 727 00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,480 Speaker 1: and oh on a fabulous Friday.
