WEBVTT - Mick Shots: Setting The Stage 0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:05.040 The following. He's a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com 0:00:05.080 --> 0:00:13.080 and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club Cowboys. This is Mick 0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:17.279 Shot screaming live on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the 0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:22.560 official Dallas Cowboys at now. Here are Bill Jones, Everson Walls, 0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:28.120 and Nicky Spagnola, and here we are for Mick Shots. 0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:32.320 We're a little personnel challenge today. No Bill Jones, so 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:34.960 you're gonna have to put up with Everson Walls in 0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:41.159 Mickey Spagnola here in the SWBC podcast studio at the 0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:47.720 Star for another edition of Mick Shots on a Tuesday. 0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:51.840 And it's a weird Tuesday because we haven't finished yet. 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:57.160 Completed Week fifteen in the league is right, because we 0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:02.200 have sixteen, seventeen and eighteen to go. Two games tonight 0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:06.000 and the big one that will all be keeping our 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:12.760 eyes on as Philadelphia and Washington, and we're gonna see 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:17.160 if they tie, which would clinch the NFC. Guys, with 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:20.160 this tie, you know what, if we gonna tie, that 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:23.520 would be too much. I would have to bow down 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:26.160 to you guys and say I am not worthy, because 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:28.759 you and Bill were talking about that yesterday. So now 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:31.920 with two games played last night Now, there's been two 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:34.880 hundred and ten games played so far this season and 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:37.520 there's been one time one tie. Well, you know, we've 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:41.600 had a few unusual moments. What was the score? Fourteen 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:46.120 eleven halftime score? Right, Yeah, that was the first in 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:49.080 the history of the NFL. I think they had another 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:57.240 scoring anomaly, right last week? Was it two weeks ago 0:01:57.480 --> 0:01:59.360 they had another one that they were saying that that's 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:02.480 the first time. How about how about Sunday nine to nothing? 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:06.280 How many nine to nothing games? Many? But I've seen them, 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:10.680 so who knows, right, Because if Philly and Washington and tie, 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:13.440 the Cowboys clinched the NFC is not what we're gonna 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:17.320 base and segment on. And if and if they don't, 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:22.280 the Cowboys just need to win. Just keep winning and 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:26.480 not worry about what anybody else is doing because normally 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:30.519 when you look at those things, nobody does you a favor, right, 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:32.919 and it's so far Yeah, you talk about no favors. 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:37.359 What you see now is, uh, the Cowboys are at 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:41.720 this point number two in the NFC period, right, And 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:45.200 all of those naysayers out there, they can't come up 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:47.920 with anything else. So they talk about the offense, and 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:52.920 they talk about McCarthy's lack of coaching, right, lack of 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:56.160 good coaching. So now they go through his his entire 0:02:56.320 --> 0:03:03.080 season of mistakes that he's committed, including the end of 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:06.960 the first half of the of the game this weekend. 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:10.680 So yeah, which wasn't a good stake. It was a 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:14.160 conscious decision on saying, you know what, let's just make 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:17.320 sure we get a field goal gear and not worry 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:21.200 about trying to get greedy and score a touchdown. So 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:24.720 as I was going to say, the NFL h takes 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.919 care of those who takes care of themselves, okay, right, 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:31.480 and so don't worry about anybody else helping you out. 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:34.720 Just worry about what you need to do. And the 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:38.600 Cowboys day off today for the players and they'll jump 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:43.680 back into practice tomorrow. It'll be a virtual uh week 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:47.760 for the rest of the league, including the Cowboys, So meetings, 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:51.760 um guys will be at home. They'll jump in the car, 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:55.000 get here for practice and when it's over a head 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:58.040 out and go back. And if there's meetings after practice, 0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:03.400 they'll be virtual one again. And just listening to the 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:09.200 coordinators yesterday asking about the virtual presentation, they all say 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:12.560 and Mike said it too that we learned more about 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:16.520 doing that from last year, and I think you know 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:21.479 what the key thing is when you're a teacher, you 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:25.000 got to do whatever you can do to keep guys 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.960 or students attention. Right. You can't just get up there 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:33.039 and lecture for forty five minutes, right, you better throw 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:37.160 something else in there. And John Fossil was talking about 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:39.719 how you know they would give them a break so 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.279 or maybe it was Kellen Moore, I can't remember which, 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:45.200 but it was like, Okay, we'll do something for fifteen 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.120 twenty minutes and then take a five minute break. Let 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:52.120 guys get up, stretch or whatever. Because if you're actually watching, 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:58.520 like how whatever virtual component they use, you can look 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.839 in people's eyes and tell them, okay, they're not listening 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.559 to me, right. I don't know if you've ever gone 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:08.080 like and spoke at a class or you know whatever level, 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:11.800 great school, junior, high, high school. You get up there 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:13.680 and you're talking, and then you're gonna start and look 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:16.320 around and it's like, oh, there's a lot of blank eye. 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:18.360 I give that all the time. Yeah, I get that 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:20.320 out time. There's no big deal, and you gotta do 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:22.240 something to shake it up. You got to shake it 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:26.320 up right or something. I don't know how teachers do 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:28.320 it right, you know. And I was talking to one 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:35.240 during last year and it was first grade, and how 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:38.000 that's the worst she could see. She could see all 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:41.719 the faces right, and then she could tell Okay, I 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:43.840 got a problem. And it's like, well, what was your problem? 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:48.280 She goes, well, kids were starting to fall asleep, like 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.840 they put their head down and there's no there's no 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.320 parod there to shake them up. But there's no no 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:56.359 kid to cross him here, there's no kid next to 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:58.800 you behind you there? Yeah, that can you know, keep 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:01.720 your interests. It's just the face. It's just a computer, 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:04.520 and it's nothing that excites you. It's not a cartoon, 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:07.600 it's a person talking and you are so boyed. Right, 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:11.000 So that's why the Grays suffered. Yeah, K doing that 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:14.039 whole time. Absolutely. So Anyway, they were talking about how 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:16.800 they have to, you know, not just get through the meetings, 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:20.640 but come up with ways to keep the guy's attention. 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:23.400 And I don't know if that's singing a song or 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.440 doing a day What did he say? Yeah, where do 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:30.120 you come? Yeah? No one asked that question. It was like, okay, 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.760 that should have been the next everybody must have been Yeah, 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:37.160 the media was zoned off, right, you gotta look at 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:41.440 the eyes, blank faces, right, going to sleep. Yeah. So anyway, Um, 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:46.440 from a roster standpoint, the Cowboys did create a roster spot, 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:48.919 and they needed to do it because they were going 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.960 to get two guys. It sounds like coming up off 0:06:52.080 --> 0:07:02.080 COVID reserve, Tristan Hill and oh also Diggy Zoo those 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:05.159 two guys, and uh, it sound like from what Stephen 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:08.400 Jones said that Donovan Wilson would be coming off of 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:12.560 injured reserve. So to create one open spot, they released 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:16.080 Azur Kamara and I think they did it with the 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:20.200 intention of signing them back to the practice squad as 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:24.080 long as he clears waivers. So we'll find that out 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:27.080 a little bit after our show. So of course, of course, right, 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:31.240 because they they ended up releasing, oh, Sirius Mitchell from 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.200 the practice squad, I don't recall him. You don't know that. 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:36.800 I think a lot of people didn't reply. I think 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.280 I thought maybe he was on the hard I remember 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.800 they talked about Kamara being on hard now right, he 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:45.240 was the star receiver also was a part of that, 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.560 And I don't recall saying, guys, I don't either. I 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:51.239 think he might have been a late signing to the practice. 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:55.600 Great name though no serious name, right, So anyway, that'll 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:58.920 that'll open up room for Donovan Wilson, who's missed the 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:03.760 last four game ames but just adds to the secondary. Right. 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:09.000 Once this team didn't have enough safeties. Now he almost 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:14.360 got more than they's a playmaking safe, right and and 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.120 you know in a good sign that he's coming back. 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:20.520 And Hooker looks like he's kind of getting back into 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:23.800 the swing of things. Uh so that's kind of a 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:31.480 roster update. And then uh Tyrn Smith between McCarthy talking 0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:36.200 on Monday afternoon and then uh Kellen Moore, Uh, it 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:40.040 sounds like they're hopeful. They don't know. They'll find out 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:42.559 more tomorrow when they get into practice of he can 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:46.240 get back, uh in time to play in this game 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:50.000 after missing the last game after aggravating that foot injury 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:52.720 they had. Jerry Jones, by the way, he had an 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:56.760 interesting comment today on his one oh five point three 0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:59.959 the Fans segment talking about the offensive line when he 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:04.600 was asked about Tyrn Smith, like, Okay, he's missing three 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:09.400 four more games every year, and I think Jerry listened 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:13.560 to my answer because he basically said, and I paraphrase, 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:17.160 I'll take as much of Tyrn Smith as I can 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:22.280 going forward, and our main goal then is to make 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:26.000 sure we have a credible backup swing tackle. So it's 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:30.120 like they keep inferring in talk radio that it's time 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:32.320 for the Cowboys to get rid of Tyring because he 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:35.680 can't play the whole season, and it's like, Okay, that's fine, 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:39.640 but who's gonna take his place? That's better? And and basically, 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:43.240 I'll take thirteen games of Tyrn Smith before i'll take 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:46.360 seventeen when anybody else, you give me. What they better 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:49.080 do is make sure that they monitor his practicing. And 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:51.600 I write doing that now. Make sure that he's gonna 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:57.280 be there for not just I wouldn't necessarily say this stretch, right, 0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:59.960 I would not. I would not say that this stretch 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:03.440 for Tylan Smith is a priority. I would love to 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:05.439 have him there, and if we just win that one 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:07.600 game and then get it out of the way and 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:10.160 then rest him or whatever we could do, I'd love 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:13.040 to do that. But I'd love to keep him in rhythm. 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:15.719 I want to keep him out there and practice him 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:20.000 in sports and even if we have to in certain games, 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:22.360 play him in sports because I want him to keep 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:25.320 that timing right. But at the same time, you don't 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.360 want that injury to be aggravated. And I think they 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:30.600 can do that in practice, and they think they've been. 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:35.200 My understanding is, you know, if they I don't know 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:37.520 how many snaps they would get on off and say 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:42.680 they get what do you think thirty forty snaps during 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:46.920 a practice, So let him have half and then work 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:49.439 in the other backup anyway, and they need to work 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:52.559 he does right, and just give him enough to keep 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:54.360 him sharp and then and then the same thing in 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:56.600 the game. You know, just kind of judge how the 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:59.560 game's going. Do you need him out there? If you 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.679 get to point you know, heaven forbid that you have 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:05.679 like a three score lead or something. All right, get 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:09.000 him out of there. Don't wear them out. But so 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:11.400 that's the one injury I think they have to and 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.480 they're very fortunate because that's the really the only one. 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:18.360 What about Washington, how are they doing that quarterback because 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:22.960 you had the first two or out? My understanding, Yeah, 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:25.280 the last thing I read was since it's a it's 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:28.760 a short trip to phil to Philadelphia, yeah, it's like 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:31.080 a half hour plane ride. They can wait till the 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:34.520 last minute to see. Okay, did those guys test out, like, 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:38.720 did they test negative enough times that either one can play? 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:40.839 But I think the last time I read it was 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:44.840 being reported that Garrett Gilbert was like the likely starter 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:49.240 just because he's got that one start in the NFL. 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:53.920 Yere yes, that's it, the one star. Say we did 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:57.400 him a favorite, right exactly everything he comes around. But 0:11:57.800 --> 0:11:59.920 you know, so, yeah, they're the quarterback, so they will 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:03.480 have Heineck, then Heinik will will probably be the quarterback 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:07.720 that there's a good chance. Yeah, no, it's it's COVID. 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:11.120 It's COVID, So I thought I thought it was I 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:13.600 thought it was Galimore related. Yeah, the way he ran 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:17.080 over the center and the quarterback, so the quarterback was 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.400 able to get up and if he would, if they had, 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:21.960 if Heineck had to play tonight, he could have played 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:24.720 other than Covid. I think that's that's right, because I 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:27.160 thought he was injured in that game. He never came back. 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.680 And you know what, we're gonna turn Galimore into a verb. 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:34.560 He got gall Galimore, I tweeted, man, that was just 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:37.360 an amazing play. You don't see that happen very often. 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:39.400 But I thought that Heineck was going to be out 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:43.080 um because of him because of that. Yeah, it sounded 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:45.200 like he would have a chance if he if he 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:49.800 cleared COVID protocol. But um, gosh. We talked about last 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:51.640 week that by the end of the week they had 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:55.960 a hundred players uh testing positive for COVID going on 0:12:56.080 --> 0:13:00.600 COVID reserve. They had another thirty seven on Monday. Okay, 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:04.880 So that leads to my next question. So the COVID protocol, Uh, 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:07.040 they're supposed to ease up on it in regards to 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:12.760 vaccinated and boosted players. Correct, yes, uh, if if um, 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:18.880 if you're if you're vaccinated, if you had your booster 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:23.920 shop and you're asymptomatic, I think, um, it's like, okay, 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:27.240 you can come back within a day or two. Yeah, yeah, 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:30.640 as long as you can test negative. I think you 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:35.200 don't have to wait ten days exactly. So you're punishing 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:39.080 the vaccinated along with the unvaccinated, right, that was that 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:41.400 was the cause, And so I think I read something 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:45.479 to the fact that three key players for the Rams 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:50.520 for tonight's game, UH can are off COVID because they 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:53.959 were able, they were vaccinated, and um, they can get 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:57.959 them bring one right, I forgot the other two guys 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:01.360 he already I think it was Ramsey and there was 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:04.640 one one other one other guy. So anyway, yeah, that's 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:08.319 starting to take place. So that's that's the game. One 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:11.880 of the games at seven. So it's the Rams in Seattle, right, 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:17.719 and then Philadelphia Washington. Uh in Philadelphia, so uh that 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:22.240 that'll be more games to watch uh this week.

The difference, there's a 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:34.920 difference between wrest wrestling. Yeah, real wrestling and wrestle Mania. 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:37.960 You were wrestling. I wrestled one hundred and twelve pounds. 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:40.119 Can you imagine seeing that? Yeah, I can see you 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:42.120 flying right out of the ring too. They would throw 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:44.840 you right now because they were my size. They couldn't 0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:48.240 do it. They were big enough. That was I learned 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:51.000 out about sports then, and it's like, you know, size 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:54.080 does matter. Yeah, these guys not. Well, I don't want 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:57.160 to get anybody upset, but that's right. This is WrestleMania, 0:17:57.280 --> 0:18:00.760 so that's right. Be ready to be entertained. So we're 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:03.720 going to be entertained at some point here. On Wednesday 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:07.920 when they released the official Pro Bowl rosters, but they 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:10.960 decided that since there were games on Monday night, that 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:16.359 they started releasing names, especially on billboards in Vegas, because 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:19.040 the Pro Bowl is going to be in Lady, so 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:22.800 they're they're getting guys out. So no shocks here that 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:26.200 Tom Brady is going to be in the Pro Bowl 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:31.720 for the fifteenth time. Aaron Doddell for his eighth Cooper 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:37.400 Cup first time, the Rams for eight already eight for eight, 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:43.119 I believe Yeah, Jonathan Taylor running back from the Colts 0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:47.239 his first time might be MVP, and Travis Kelsey for 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:51.239 the seventh time, although he's got a clear COVID in 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:54.240 time because he now is out with COVID. I thought 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:58.040 this was interesting. They also released the top five fan 0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:02.439 vote getters and doesn't officially because that's one third of 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:06.040 the voting process for Pro Bowl one third coaches, one 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:11.520 third players. But the top five vote getters was Taylor, 0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:17.000 Nick nick Bosa was second. Taylor had two thousand, six hundred, 0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:20.600 six hundred, two hundred and sixty five thousand, three hundred 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:25.440 and seventy votes. Uh. Nick Bosa was next, then Kelsey, 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:29.880 then Kyle Jerzyk, the fullback the forty Niners. Is that right? 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:35.119 And fifth was Treyvon Diggs. Wow, with two hundred forty 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:40.800 two hundred, nine hundred thousand votes. Two hundred forty two thousand, 0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:44.080 nine hundred I get it right. Uh, he was twenty 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:48.359 three thousand. Slay, these are the fans. Fans voting to 0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:53.600 no QBS in there. Isn't that amazing that I thought 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:56.280 you were talking something. Yeah, no, Q, that's what had said. 0:19:56.400 --> 0:20:00.720 The top five fan vote getters that is extreme, be unusual, 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:04.600 and that doesn't guarantee anybody a spot either. By the way, 0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:11.560 other than um, well, we knew Taylor and Kelsey had 0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:15.000 made it. But yeah, Trayvon dig so it's pretty good 0:20:15.400 --> 0:20:18.280 deal for you. Yeah, I gotta say I'm a I'm 0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:20.679 not a fan of the fans voting. Yeah, because it 0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:23.479 just turns into a population. Well and by the way, 0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:28.120 speaking of that, whereas my list the most fan votes 0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:31.359 coming from because they think when you do it, you 0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:35.840 have to like, uh, admit which team you're you're voting 0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:41.320 from or whatever. So the top five fan voting teams 0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:45.719 were the Chiefs, the Cowboys, the forty nine Ers, New England, 0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:49.600 and Green Bay Shockings. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, good teams. Good yeah, good, 0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:52.119 good winning team. But yeah, to me, with the fans, 0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:55.480 it just just turns into a just a popularity contest. 0:20:55.520 --> 0:20:58.280 I'm not and you can vote. I think there's a limit, 0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:01.000 but you can vote a several times. That's too much 0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:03.600 for me. But even and I have to be fair, 0:21:03.680 --> 0:21:06.440 even when you go with the players, you know, then 0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:09.480 you know, like a guy me I'm from a Tobcu 0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:12.840 and no matter how well I play, you know, there 0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:17.160 are times when you have certain players, they're very discriminated 0:21:17.680 --> 0:21:21.880 and I would say discriminatory towards uh small school players, 0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:26.960 but they will definitely favor Power fives players right over 0:21:27.520 --> 0:21:31.000 small school players. No matter how well you play. They're 0:21:31.040 --> 0:21:32.920 just thinking, Okay, well I come from the big ten, 0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:35.400 then I'm gonna go I'm voting for the big ten 0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:39.160 dbs and they're gonna get more consideration from me. And 0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:41.120 so I think that's kind of the way of trying 0:21:41.160 --> 0:21:44.120 to even of that between players and fans. So when 0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:47.920 you played, you guys, were the players were still voting 0:21:48.000 --> 0:21:51.440 players just the players so to me, and you tell 0:21:51.520 --> 0:21:54.960 me if I'm wrong. But the players know the players 0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:57.840 they played against, Yes, but they don't know the rest 0:21:57.840 --> 0:21:59.920 of the league because you don't sit there and only 0:22:00.200 --> 0:22:03.480 watching on TV. Only if you're aware, only if you're aware, 0:22:03.600 --> 0:22:06.400 Because even though you study for other players and other teams, 0:22:06.520 --> 0:22:10.639 right you you've seen those teams played a particular player 0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:13.000 that you may that you may be scouting. I might 0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:16.199 now played against Jerry Rice a particular year, right, but 0:22:16.359 --> 0:22:19.000 I know the Jerry Rice. I mean I know that's Jerry's. 0:22:19.119 --> 0:22:22.920 Jerry's probably needs to get more votes than I wouldn't 0:22:22.960 --> 0:22:24.800 say Michael Irving at that time, but that you know, 0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:27.520 when Jerry first came in, you know Drew was gone, 0:22:27.600 --> 0:22:29.719 Tony Hill was on his way out. So I wouldn't 0:22:29.760 --> 0:22:32.400 pick one of my receivers that was backing up Drew 0:22:32.440 --> 0:22:34.959 Pierson and say that, Okay, I'm going to consider him 0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:37.720 as much as Jerry Rice because I hadn't played against 0:22:37.800 --> 0:22:40.679 Jerry Rice, so you know, you know as a player 0:22:40.720 --> 0:22:43.879 who the good players are. And but we also know 0:22:44.080 --> 0:22:47.240 that there's favoritism amongst players as well. And I know 0:22:47.359 --> 0:22:49.560 that for a fact because I can't go to another 0:22:49.920 --> 0:22:53.560 MANI HBCU brothers and go hey man, let's get together 0:22:53.600 --> 0:22:57.520 and we're gonna vote for a jet blocks right, So 0:22:57.840 --> 0:23:00.520 we couldn't do that. So I do get why they 0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:04.719 did it, And I think they also included the executives 0:23:04.720 --> 0:23:07.240 in it, coach coach coaches, just coaches, so they get 0:23:07.280 --> 0:23:10.120 a third and I think that's good because I think 0:23:10.119 --> 0:23:12.399 back then when you guys did it, it was the 0:23:12.560 --> 0:23:17.280 coaches players and it was one block of voting, right, yes, yeah, 0:23:17.560 --> 0:23:20.679 And as even as we got in and started talking 0:23:20.720 --> 0:23:23.080 about the different votes. You know, we kind of had 0:23:23.080 --> 0:23:25.120 to have a meeting about it. I remember that having 0:23:25.160 --> 0:23:27.720 team meetings like that, right. I didn't like that, like 0:23:27.760 --> 0:23:29.120 I don't need you to tell me who to vote 0:23:29.160 --> 0:23:31.800 for it, right, and so that kind of I wasn't 0:23:31.840 --> 0:23:34.679 happy about that at all. But it's a fraternity, and 0:23:34.840 --> 0:23:37.520 with the fraternity, you've got the bigger fraternities and the 0:23:37.560 --> 0:23:39.960 smaller fraternities. And that's just the way it goes. You're 0:23:40.000 --> 0:23:41.800 not going to get away from some type of favorites. 0:23:41.880 --> 0:23:45.080 It's like ap voting and called for college rankings, right, 0:23:45.080 --> 0:23:47.560 thank you, And then when we finished, we get to say, Okay, 0:23:47.600 --> 0:23:50.480 who got left out and who shouldn't have made it? Right? 0:23:50.640 --> 0:23:53.200 Right after you've all come together, right, you know. So 0:23:53.400 --> 0:23:55.840
