Right? I 0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:25.600 wish we had a like a I don't think the 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:28.760 wireless mike would go that fire, right. I could stand 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.800 there and just hold it, Mickey. Saw the practice, not 0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:35.160 the entire print, not the part that counts. Yeah, and 0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:36.800 you go to give us the same report you did 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:43.600 yesterday as long as yesterday's they did karaoke again, by okay, 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:48.240 good guys do that. Yeah. I heard they were singing 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:54.240 prints right, Yeah, they were playing prints. Yes, of course, 0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.400 absolutely did not want to set them up for that, 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:07.520 yes man. Um So he continued his rehab Okay, basically 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:11.280 kind of upgraded a little bit faster. I saw no 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:16.919 residual effect of whatever he did yesterday, So I'm I'm here, 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:20.120 I'm in. He's good to go. I'll just say it 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:25.919 right now. And uh he he Actually I saw him 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.720 do some running too. It wasn't just with the chords 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:31.720 and uh he actually took a snap and did a 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:35.520 read it read option and kept the ball and ran 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:45.919 into the end zone. Sohow but this was for It 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:50.040 wasn't in team. It was just in there little you know, 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:53.040 he's messing with you guys, right well, I mean everything 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.760 that does now you know, it's for the everybody. Everybody's 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:59.920 keeping an eye and everybody. He knows every move. He's mad. 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.400 I think he's having a little fun with he was 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:05.240 throwing the ball fine. When he ran to the end zone, 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.119 I'm sure he's like, yeah, what are they gonna say? Yeah? Yeah, 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:10.640 well you know how far he ran? Like three yards right? 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:16.639 And then they turn around and go the other way 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.720 three yards right, because everybody's like, oh look that's a 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:23.040 great wow, well the move. Did you see it? I said, well, 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:25.119 they turned it around and then went the other way 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:29.600 three yards sou So yeah, it looked like all systems 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:34.440 go with him. McCarthy said that, uh, he you know, 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:38.320 he had a good response to the workout. Um, and 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.320 he was planning on kind of doing the same thing today. 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:45.440 So um, I'm sure he'll be listed as limited and 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:49.720 tomorrow when they have to give a designation and of 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:53.720 the practice because they don't practice on Friday, it'll be 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:58.080 the estimation and it'll be limited and questionable, and then 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:02.320 he'll everyone can speculate hate a bad The cowboys better 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:05.280 look out. Yeah, I don't think they should do before. 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.760 You know what everyone's telling them about how cowboys should 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.080 be real careful. As if the cowboys don't know to 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:14.080 be very careful, right, it's so silly man. And all 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.760 I know is so I went back. I mentioned it, 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:19.200 I think yesterday, but I went back and looked at 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:23.000 the stats. Right the twenty fourteen playoff game when Aaron 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:30.000 Rodgers had a calf muscle tear they called it. It 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:34.120 was the game against the Cowboys. He was twenty four 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:37.160 of thirty five for three hundred and sixty. Went over 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:40.440 this already. Man, I hate hearing those. Yes, I hate 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:43.600 you in those numbers, and he had a quarterback rating 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.000 of one hundred and twenty five point four. You know 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:48.000 why I hate hearing that because I was there and 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:52.800 it was at eighteen sixteen. That was fourteen. Yes, that's 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:54.520 why I hate you in that, because I was there 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:59.279 for what happened here, yes, yeah, here right to this day. 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:03.040 It just so, I'm thinking Aaron Rodgers played on one 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:06.520 leg in that game, So just throw some spit on it. 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:12.000 Let's go. Yeah, but you're gonna go ahead and very 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:15.800 three quarterbacks on the roster. Uh would you do that? 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:19.279 Mike McCarthy said that would be a thought, okay, And 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:23.480 so no career being the third quarterback, right exactly? I 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:27.680 think that. I mean, who's it gonna who's it gonna 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:31.120 cost him? Like some guy that's gonna play special teams 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:38.160 I don't know, I think you to be little special teamers. Yeah, 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:43.000 but I meaning if that's all the guys good Nickson 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:48.440 would like that money this way to get well. No, 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:52.360 I mean it's not calling somebody up from the practice squad. 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:54.920 But you know, there's no need to do it if 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:58.920 if you're gonna keep three h three quarterbacks, right so, 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.719 I think as an insurance policy, I see no problem 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:06.960 with it whatso. And as McCarthy said, it's just the 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:11.200 nature of those calf injuries, you're still yeah, you're still 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.040 concerned about it, even if he's out there playing, you know, 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:16.839 and and and you know, they still have their two 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.560 open spots on the fifty three. I think one of 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:23.920 them might go to Kelvin Joseph. Just watching the special 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:27.000 teams workout that we get to watch, he was working 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:32.200 on punt return, not as a returner, as the hold 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:35.240 up guy on the gunner. And that's not a surprise 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:38.640 since his date is Tuesday, that they have to activate 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:42.080 him anyway exactly though, So they may do. He may 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:47.599 get activated and then Andy out right take up what 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.719 his spots were on the special team, right so. Yeah, 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:54.440 so that's one of the spots that has been vacated 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:57.200 on the roster and so we've we've settled that one. 0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:58.960 You're gonna ahead, go ahead, and you're gonna call that 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:03.239 Kelvin Joseph Ris Kennedy. And so for the Brent Urban 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:06.760 spot on the roster, what are you gonna do? Well, 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:11.840 Dorin's Armstrong's gonna play Okay, So that's but he's already 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:15.640 on the roster. Um you don't have to make another move. 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:18.320 But if they wanted to, and depending on how Michael 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:21.960 Gallop looks, you can get Michael Gallop out there also. 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:25.440 And I don't know that you want to start him, 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:30.440 but you might be the Yeah. Absolutely, he practiced yesterday. 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.320 He did, and he was out there again today and 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:37.200 did his rehab along with Tyron Smith and Zeke and 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:41.800 Trayvon Digs. Those guys all were on the resistance chords 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:45.320 with Dakh and they all looked like they were doing 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:48.920 just fine. And then they reported to their positions, so 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:53.280 everybody was good to go. Yeah, Tyron, that's that's that 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:56.160 makes me feel much better. Yes, So that is really 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.480 the decision. I think they've already made the decision. They're 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:01.360 going with the three quarterbacks because of the nature of 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:03.520 the calf injury, whatever, you just want to make sure. 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:08.240 And so the decision would be Gallup versus the special teamer, right, 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:13.440 somebody somebody else And and and I don't think, I mean, 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.320 I don't know that they do Tristan Hill after he's 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:20.520 been out all this time, and he's had today Today 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:24.679 was his only padded practice since the week of Game 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:28.200 five last year. So I don't know that you do that, 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:32.720 Francis Bernard, I guess is the only other guy I 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:37.600 could see doing bringing up is Sean McEwan to that 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:43.400 fifty three. And then you don't have to mess with Sprinkle, 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:46.400 And I think he might be out of He would 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:48.400 be because he was in the same position as Rawlston 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:52.480 and he's he's on the fifty three. Did they end 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:54.680 up signing him to the I'm trying did the same 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:58.040 thing with Ralston, right yeah, and then they cut Rawlston. Yeah, 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:02.800 Sprinkle is on the fifth three, right yeah, yeah, So 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:06.520 but if they wanted to, what could do happen on 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.040 that is when McEwen's ready, Sprinkle gets cut and then 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:11.199 they try to put him on the practice spody exactly 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:14.079 when they need another spot, because at some point you're 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:16.120 going to need some more spots for all these It's 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:20.960 amazing the management of the roster, how much more complicated 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:24.120 it has gotten with the new rules the last couple 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.599 of years due to COVID, with the three week i 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:30.120 R and everything, yeah and uh, and the expanded practice 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:32.400 squad and the ability to bring up guys for a 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:34.640 certain number is it three times you can bring them up, 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:37.000 promote them from the practice squat, I think, which is 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:39.680 what they did with Ralston and Sprinkle, And then they 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.800 had to expose Ralston the waivers. You know, once you 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:48.240 um made that decision to you needed that roster spot. 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:54.439 But yeah, whoever is making the final call on that 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:57.000 each week? I mean, the head's got to be spinning. 0:09:57.000 --> 0:09:59.280 There's got to be multiple people. Oh yeah, I've been 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:02.040 that are managing that as the weeks go along, here 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:06.200 and so and then. The only other practice update, Lale 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:12.120 Collins was back out there, so evidently he did well yesterday. 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:16.880 McCarthy intimated that he got some snaps at guard said 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:20.960 it was like riding a bicycle. He jumped right in there. 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.800 But again, when we were watching them do their positional drills, 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:28.720 when they lined up five offensive linemen, Steele was at 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:33.280 right tackle and Collins came in after him. So the 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:36.040 only thing I can think of with this thing about 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:39.840 guard is maybe they want Lale Collins to be active 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:44.640 as the backup swing tackle and also the backup left guard, 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:48.839 because evidently they have not used that's talented. They haven't 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:53.720 used McGovern as the left guard very much. He's always 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:57.040 been on the right side. So we can we try 0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.920 out at center as well. Well. Might have to see 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:04.679 put his hand one else, but it sounded like he 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:08.360 had a good practice yesterday and um, so we'll see 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:11.280 where that one goes. And you know, there's all these 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:15.079 notions of what they're going to trade, you know, Layal 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:17.720 Collins at the trade deadline, and all I'm saying is, 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:21.120 why would you trade the second best tackle on your team? 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:26.160 And I don't care if Steele starts, He's still the 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:29.840 next best tackle to Tyrn Smith. And and don't do 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:34.000 anything to diminish your fifty three man roster when you're 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:36.360 five and one h and have a three and a 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:39.559 half game lead and try to get cute, right, That 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:43.319 just makes no sense to me. Who is saying I mean, 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:45.600 you don't have to tell me who's saying it, But 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:50.640 that's what Why would anyone sound you're one injury away? Yes, yes, 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:56.160 you're starting tie insecky yes, okay, And that's why I said, 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:59.920 if you let my suggestion, don't sound too excited about 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:04.600 I mean, I just know your body language with twisting 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:08.920 in your chair. If they can qualify Collins being the 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:12.040 backup swing, tackled and tied in the secty doesn't have 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:16.000 to be active for the game. And I nothing against him. 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:19.480 He's thirty six years old and he doesn't move very well. 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:23.120 So if you were gonna pick the most diverse offensive lineman, 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:28.040 who would it be on this team right now? Well? 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:30.000 And I don't mean just able to play him, I 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:33.480 mean Zach Zack Martin. Zach Martin would be the most diverse. Yeah, 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:36.800 if you could him up at any position. Yeah, right, okay, 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:38.920 So take take the future Hall of Famer out of 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:42.880 the mind now, thank you, thank you? Are you looking 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:46.280 at the Collins Colin mc govern government is very very 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:53.520 hard center, still working, and and I bet he could 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:57.959 catch the ball too, probably, man, wait on that, that's 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:02.439 we'll run that one in so far. That's right there 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:06.800 with him, that's what right there with my Michael Parsons 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:12.120 the personal protector on the Plenty special that's the big 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:16.680 map to him, the big Mac specialist. Who's somebody somebody 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:20.120 that I really think benefited from this bye week is Cooper, 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.319 Mary Cooper. Yeah, because he's always banged out, got something, 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:26.560 He's got something all the time, and we haven't heard 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:28.400 a peep from him, which is a good thing. And 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.760 it sounded like the way McCarthy answered the question with 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:36.640 Tyron Smith. I think he said something to affect. It's 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:41.240 a long season, so I think they'll go easy on 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:46.360 him on Wednesdays and uh, make sure they're not wearing 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:48.960 him out in practice, because that does seem to be 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:51.960 what happens, especially the last couple of years. Yeah. Yeah, 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:53.679 so you don't want to do that. So now are 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:55.719 you on Twitter right now? I am, yes, I mean 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:57.760 you're looking at Twitter. I was. Did you happen to 0:13:57.760 --> 0:13:59.440 see you? Mary Cooper? Is that what made you think 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:03.679 of a mark? Because because on Twitter right now Amari 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:06.640 Cooper talking to the media and the quote the bye 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:09.800 week always feels longer for the body. At least I 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:13.040 came back pretty healthy. I feel healthy. It's close to 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:16.920 that I'll be So that was a very tight Yeah, 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:21.400 I put it down and the other ones. Okay, So 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:25.760 we were talking about Deck's performance. You know this uh 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:28.440 you know what you call it, you know, the behind 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:32.040 his rehab regiment. Yes, well not just that, but this 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:34.200 particular moment that's coming up to where he's going to 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:37.640 give us a you know, just kind of a preview, yeah, 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:40.960 of what he can do. So he's gonna say still 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:44.320 has that, he still has that session to go correct. Yeah, 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:47.240 that's probably about now, Oh we think he's doing that 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:51.320 or before two o'clock. Yeah, and so that's gonna be 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:53.760 the one where he tests everything. I mean, we're gonna 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.640 be doing roll without bootlegs. No, no, you're talking, Oh 0:14:56.960 --> 0:15:00.000 he's talking the interview, No interviews. No, I'm talking about 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.200 out in practice. When he's going to do the dress 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:07.880 rehearsal today would today would be in the padded practice. Okay, 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:09.960 So to be interesting to see how much which we 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.280 can't see. Yeah, but they're going to give us a 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:15.200 report and then now everyone's waiting on that, yeah, because 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:20.040 the injury reports so far has him limited of course, 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:25.480 as was Dorance Armstrong, Dak Prescott, Treyvon Diggs and tiring 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:30.160 and for everyone out there aren't familiar with the schedule. 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:33.160 They've practiced, and now the post practice interview with Dak 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:35.160 is what we're waiting on, and so we will see 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:38.160 how much Dak reveals about what he did at practice. 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:40.920 So did he have the dress rehearsal today? And I 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:43.840 don't mean that would be your question to Dak if 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:46.480 you were out there right now ready to interview Dak 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:55.560 knows ask the question for somebody's going to ask the question, right, 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:59.320 And then the key practice will be Saturday, because they 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:03.120 don't practice Friday. They practice Saturday, and then they get 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:05.760 on the plane and go to Minneapolis, right exactly. Doesn't 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:08.640 that make it nervous that they practice on Saturday? Yes, 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:12.040 you know, with with Dak's injury, you know, basically based 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:15.320 on how tedious this whole thing is. And well, he 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:18.000 goes out there on Saturday. You know, we're feeling good 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:20.840 after the dress rehearsal tomorrow, I guess or whenever that 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:23.080 you know what it is, you won't tell anybody, So 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:26.520 you do, you do that, then you come back on Saturday. 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:29.080 You're feeling good, You've already given the check. Okay, you 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.840 can go ahead, go with God. And he goes out 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.480 there on Saturday. Yeah, but it's not a hard practice. 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:38.280 Sort of like Danny White pulling his hamstring doing sprints 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:42.760 on Saturday before the Denver game that year. There are 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:46.080 so many things that you remember. Spat, I remember that that, 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:52.800 and Randy White also hurt himself on the it's supposed 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:56.240 walked through before that game. So Mark toooney, I think 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:59.520 ended up playing both defensive tackle and offensive. Well, we 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:03.360 can come present day. We can come present day on it. Right, 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:07.800 was it last year? Yes, but that was before the game. 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:09.880 That's what I mean. Yeah, you can. You can hurt 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:13.360 yourself in pregame warm up. Oh that's right. Yeah, So 0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:17.479 but you gotta warm up, you gotta practice, and so 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:20.160 you know, you can work yourself on the day off 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:23.520 stepping up. Say, when I was with the Giants, they 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:28.640 had their own tradition, Pepper LT Banks, Renee Thompson Collins. 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:33.359 We were all out there after the Saturday practice. If 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:35.639 we had a home game, we would stay out there 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:39.320 and play flat football. I mean we were balling too. 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:41.360 I mean we could have easily gotten hurting. No one, 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:44.639 No one ever got hurt. LT got mad at me 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:47.680 one time because I pushed them down. But otherwise everybody 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:52.120 was no injuries at all, so go figure. Yeah, how 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:56.960 soft day all these days? And speaking of that, yes, 0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:59.560 there is an injury around the NFL that I want 0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:01.880 to mention in a second. And I want to compare 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:06.360 this all pro player with a couple of all pro 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:10.040 players from the Cowboys past and pose a question when 0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:15.040 we come back here on mix shots.

Yes, okay, 0:20:46.520 --> 0:20:50.880 this is the cautionary tale about as soon as somebody 0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:55.520 with a name gets released or they're available and they're 0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:59.440 old or older, Oh you gotta pick that guy. Yeah, 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:04.399 experience experience, Yes, yes, So at thirty two years old, 0:21:05.119 --> 0:21:10.520 the Arizona Cardinals signed JJ Watt to a two year, 0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:15.960 twenty eight million dollars deal with twenty million guaranteed and 0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:19.960 a twelve million dollars signing bonus that you cannot get 0:21:20.160 --> 0:21:26.960 away from. The Saldis Cap two and he just suffered 0:21:27.040 --> 0:21:31.200 a dislocated shoulder that needs surgery, and he's going to 0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:37.960 be out for the season, and they will be on 0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:43.719 the salary cap next year, and we're going to assume 0:21:43.760 --> 0:21:47.320 you can come back from the shoulder surgery. Right, but 0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:51.840 if not, fifteen million in dead money in twenty twenty 0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:56.159 two for signing JJ Watt. Okay, Let's go back through 0:21:56.240 --> 0:22:02.960 the history of JJ Watt over the last now six seasons, right, okay, 0:22:02.960 --> 0:22:06.600 and this year part of the cautionary tale. By this year, 0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:10.639 at age thirty two, he started seven games for the 0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:14.760 Arizona Cardinals, seven out of seventeen. Last year, he did 0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:19.080 play a full season for the Houston Texans sixteen starts okay. 0:22:20.400 --> 0:22:24.680 In two thousand nineteen eight starts, so half a season 0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:30.240 two eighteen sixteen starts okay. He had a full season 0:22:30.280 --> 0:22:35.679 in eighteen two thousand and seventeen five starts, in two 0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:42.080 thousand and sixteen three starts, so he missed thirteen, twenty four, 0:22:42.760 --> 0:22:46.920 thirty two and now forty two games over a six 0:22:47.000 --> 0:22:51.440 year period, an average of seven games a season. So 0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:54.800 he's basically over the last six years only played half 0:22:54.800 --> 0:22:57.040 a season, and they gave him a twelve million dollars 0:22:57.040 --> 0:23:00.640 signing boots. What were the stats before he went that? Well? 0:23:00.720 --> 0:23:03.240 He was great, that great? He was great right the 0:23:03.320 --> 0:23:05.919 first five years of his scor two thousand and eleven, 0:23:07.000 --> 0:23:09.520 two thousand and eleven through two thousand and fifteen. We're 0:23:09.520 --> 0:23:13.520 talking a three time NFL Defensive Player of the Year, 0:23:13.720 --> 0:23:16.440 five time Pro Bowler, and the one of the greatest 0:23:16.720 --> 0:23:20.439 defensive players or players to play this game over that 0:23:20.600 --> 0:23:24.320 first five years of his career. And but since then 0:23:24.359 --> 0:23:28.680 he hasn't been available. Now this year, Uh, what did 0:23:28.680 --> 0:23:33.440 he have seven secks? No? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, 0:23:33.560 --> 0:23:36.000 I didn't have that, man, because I think six he 0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:39.320 made a huge play. Uh if I'm not mistaken to 0:23:39.359 --> 0:23:43.520 haven win the other day, Let's see, let's see what 0:23:45.840 --> 0:23:49.679 Everson's on it there? Not seven but six sacks this year. No, 0:23:49.800 --> 0:23:51.480 I'm no, no, no no, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm reading 0:23:51.480 --> 0:23:55.040 the wrong calling there, wrong calling. Okay, that would be 0:23:55.280 --> 0:23:59.880 a zero this year he has zero sexes. It's hard 0:23:59.880 --> 0:24:03.040 to sack the quarterback from that position, which is why 0:24:03.080 --> 0:24:06.000 he was so great the first five years of his career, 0:24:06.119 --> 0:24:08.359 because he was on the field his first five years 0:24:08.359 --> 0:24:10.359 of his career to run it down five and a 0:24:10.400 --> 0:24:13.920 half sacks as a rookie. Okay, and okay, you can 0:24:14.000 --> 0:24:17.160 make this comparison. He was taken right after Tyrn Smith 0:24:17.240 --> 0:24:20.080 was taken in that twenty eleven draft, and the Cowboys 0:24:20.080 --> 0:24:22.720 obviously had a need at tackle. But you can also 0:24:22.760 --> 0:24:25.080 look at okay, or do you get the Hall of 0:24:25.080 --> 0:24:28.479 Fame defensive line? You don't question day I try, never, 0:24:28.760 --> 0:24:32.920 never ever questioned, even when JJ Watt in his second 0:24:33.400 --> 0:24:35.840 and even when JJ Watt in the second year of 0:24:35.840 --> 0:24:38.720 his career was getting twenty and a half sacks, in 0:24:38.800 --> 0:24:41.400 the third year of his career ten and a half sacks, 0:24:41.720 --> 0:24:44.399 in the fourth year twenty and a half sacks again, 0:24:44.720 --> 0:24:47.480 and in the fifth year seventeen and a half sacks. 0:24:48.000 --> 0:24:51.840 That is obviously first ballot Hall of Fame worthy and 0:24:51.960 --> 0:24:54.119 one of the greatest players to play this game the 0:24:54.119 --> 0:24:57.920 first five years of his career. But now we're looking 0:24:58.000 --> 0:25:02.320 eleven years in, he's age thirty two, and you see, 0:25:02.880 --> 0:25:06.639 is not because of injury having the ability to stay 0:25:06.680 --> 0:25:08.720
