Love Bill, Man, 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:09.880 but hey, come on, sometimes we gotta look at young 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:14.440 fellow or your turn. Your keeps coming off the bench. 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.120 I forgot that Bill had next man up, baby, Yeah, 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:19.760 next man up. I forgot he had Thursday TV duty. 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:21.679 But here we go. Oh, I thought you came down 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:24.200 early because you remember. No, it was just looked at 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:29.600 my room always gone. And I have my chair back. 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:32.360 I don't have Nate k Newton's chair anymore. Man. That 0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:36.199 sucker makes so much noise broken in the back. Yeah, 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:39.040 but how he likes it, that's how he likes it. 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:42.800 I can't lean back on. Uh you mentioned a beautiful 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:46.080 day ever since the Cowboys are practicing outside once again 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:51.440 today grass What is it? Sixty degrees? Oh right, I'm 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:54.520 gonna get there. Yeah, yeah, well it's beautiful day. Trying 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:58.480 their best to mimic the Philly conditions, but not exact. 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:01.080 Is all you need, just grass field is all you need. 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:03.560 Long as you're on grass field, get the field for it, 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:05.840 since that's the thing they do these days, gonna play 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:08.919 on grass as well, practice on grass. Did you guys 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.960 ever find someplace to go? And no, no, no, no, 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:14.359 But if the weather was just the weather was hard, 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:16.919 but we go to lows Field. Yeah, we're right there. 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:20.800 That wasn't indoors. No, it is not just an artificial turf. 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:23.480 Yes it is, but it is not indoors. And the 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:25.240 only reason we would go there is because we only 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:27.960 had grass field to practice on, right, so we we 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:29.600 didn't want to mess up the field if it was 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:33.520 ice or something like that. Rams game. I believe that 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:36.520 was January of eighty four, if I'm not mistaken. When 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:40.560 Dickerson just ran all through our frozen That was the 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:43.640 first round. We didn't. We didn't. They beat us in 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:45.600 the first round. He had like two hundred yards on 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.480 us in Texas Stadium. We had to go to Lows 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:51.480 all week because if you recall, there was a lot 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:55.320 of sleet and uh and rain coming down, so we 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.239 don't want to mess up our field. It had nothing 0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:59.520 to do with the fact that we were playing on 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:02.720 a in Texas Stadium. That had nothing to do with it. 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:04.160 We just had to get away so we didn't mess 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:08.400 up by grass field. Did you ever practice at Texas Stadium? 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:11.840 Maybe once? Maybe once? Did they bust you there? They 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:14.280 make your drug? Yeah? Man, no they bust us. No, 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:17.959 we busted everywhere. You think Tom's gonna trust us? Okay, guys, 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:20.720 don't get your cars, don't stop on the way home, 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.359 you know, don't stop at the looking store. Don't stop 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:25.760 at the drug store for for the for some some 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.960 ingredients for for for the house. No, no, we're gonna 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:33.880 all go together. We're coming back together, and all fines 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:37.240 are still in place in case you feel like getting frisky. 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:40.320 So I can't picture it at the old place on 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:43.000 Forrests and neighbor. Was there two practice fields or just one? 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.560 It was two? There was two. Yes, there was two 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:48.720 practice fields. Right. You got the one where the you 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:51.840 had the straight shot from the days in Yeah, where 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:55.400 the Redskins could film out practice practice very time. Yeah, 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:59.400 and the Texas out the entire side of the hotel. 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:04.560 We had security walking two floors, okay, just the two 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:07.360 floors there at the day's end to make sure that 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:10.640 it was only Redskins week. Though there's never any other 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.640 word about anybody, never anybody else, Only Redskins Week. That 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:16.240 darn George Allen, That's what it was. That dog on 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:19.640 George Allen, May God rest his soul. Man. That's kid. 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:22.120 Then that was a healthy heck of a coach. There's 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:24.920 something about Redskins Week back then, and now I think 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:28.600 it's it's about Philly Week, Isn't it Hasn't it replaced it? 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:30.560 What do you think ever? Since I mean it was 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:32.760 it was Washington Week back in the day, I would 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.760 I would have to say it's Philly because we are 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:40.719 we now have proof that they are the worst fans 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:44.640 in all of sports. When you I believe they say 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:49.280 they have a a judge downstairs right to sentence you 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:52.680 to jail for the remainder of the game. I guess 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:55.320 I don't know. I'm sure they don't keep they don't 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:57.400 keep it an overnight right like County. You know what 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.880 I'm saying, it's a it's a temporary holding just till 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:04.479 the game is over. That is incredible. So yeah, we 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:07.600 would have to say Philly. And anytime you have a rivalry, 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:11.480 it's all about personalities. So when you're talking Tom Landry 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:15.600 George Allen, I mean, you know, the two extreme spectrums 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.120 on one side or the other. And that's what made 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:23.000 that interesting because Tom was never gonna break the porcelain, 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:28.000 you know, vase, but George is like he's breaking everything. 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:31.160 He's tearing down signs after the game, he's you know, 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:34.040 he's running roughshot all over your stadium after they come 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.400 in and win. So that kind of elevated, you know. 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:40.039 And then the other thing that elevated it was the 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:43.080 fact that when George Allen got there, the Redskins got good. 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:45.960 You can't have a rivalry if it's one sided all 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:49.400 the time, and the Redskins weren't very good during the sixties, 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.520 so when the Cowboys got good, But then in the 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:57.200 seventies when the Redskins finally took something away from the Cowboys. 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.760 I think it was seventy two. They went to the 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:03.120 to the beat him in the playoffs then, and it 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:06.360 was like, oh, okay, this is serious stuff now. So 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.200 that's what kind of caused it, because they got better 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.280 and he made a big deal out of it. If 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:15.640 you talked to that was a whole point. He was 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:17.200 a he was a great man. He was to me, 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.599 I thought he was just a master of manipulation. Yeah, 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:21.599 he was. He was able to work with the press. 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.280 He knew that that made things exciting. He went through 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.440 you guys for everything, and he was over the top 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.440 and he enjoyed that. I think it was all very calculating, 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:33.800 and I actually thought it was good for the NFL. Yeah, 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.919 oh that's great. It's great for TV, no doubt. And 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:41.040 now you're talking, I think when when the Cowboy Philly rival, 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:44.960 he got really funky and heated was come on, give 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:49.000 me buddy, Buddy, Jimmy right, that's right, Buddy and Jimmy. 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:50.919 That was the best and that got it going and 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.920 they were dominating. But then in ninety one ninety two, 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:59.000 the Cowboys started many right and then Kelvin Martin Punt returned. 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.719 That changed everything. I reminded him of that last night 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:05.479 on the on our Happy Hour show, did you Yeah, 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:07.679 because we were talking about how you can come back 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:12.080 in a season and that season at that point they were, 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:16.520 they were six and five, They went through the Redskins, 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:19.560 they won, and then if they had beat Philadelphia, they 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.000 were going to clinch a wild card spot. And that 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.760 that was the pumpet. That was amazing. And I wasn't here. 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:26.880 You weren't even there that I know, but I was. 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.240 I was there. Look, I had no choice. I had 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:31.800 to look at you guys. I couldn't turn off the 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:34.240 TV otherwise that's the only way you can not see 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:37.360 the Cowboys, especially during that whole three out of four years. 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:39.880 But I must admit those guys that I played against, 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.000 I wasn't pulling for him, but those guys that I 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:45.960 played with, somebody like Martin, you know, Kate mart we 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:49.320 called him. That was man for to see him come 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:51.960 through like that, and who had always been a steady 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:55.360 player for the Cowboys, right he was our cop, He 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:57.800 was our Cole Beasley, you know. He was that guy 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:00.480 that steadied everything when Mike was getting double team and 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:03.640 Harper wasn't going up and getting the hot the hot catch. 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:07.680 Here comes Kmart, just super steady, and when he made 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.280 that move that really put him to me. That put 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:14.720 him on a on a special pedestal as far as 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:16.880 the cowboy success is concerned. And the other thing I 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:20.400 remembered about that run was the blindside block that I 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:22.800 Colt made on the last guy that could have caught him, 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:25.880 just wiped him out. And Ike was kind of a 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.920 weird dude. He was kind of definitely weird. I love him. 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:32.000 You gotta love it though that he is a character. 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:35.320 All right, let's get to the time you asked about 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:39.000 that rival Yeah, it's good stuff. A lot of weird 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:41.760 moments in the history of this this rivalry for sure, 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.880 and maybe we get another one on Sunday afternoon. Yeah, 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:46.400 we didn't want to talk about his in day use 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:51.200 that was the bounce the time. That's over the top. 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:54.400 It was, Yeah, that was over the top. What about 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:56.880 Dak Prescott, It's gonna be over the top, ready to 0:08:56.920 --> 0:09:02.600 go Sunday. What's the update? I think so, but I 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:05.680 don't not sure how much he's gonna do this week. Yeah, 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:08.520 it's I mean, just judging from what Jason said today, 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:12.240 I mean, this is your last real full practice. The 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:15.679 Friday one is a full practice, but it's not like uh, 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:18.080 Wednesday and Thursday. And it didn't sound like he was 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:22.040 going to do much. Uh he said, he said he's progressing, 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:24.480 but we haven't seen him throw, and it didn't sound 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:27.000 like he was going to throw again today. So I 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:30.360 think from a fact, when you have a sprained ac 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.800 joint that basically you're gonna have to let it rest 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:37.079 and uh and I guess you can do a little 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:40.040 rehab on it, but I think rest is the biggest 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.400 thing that he's got going for him. So that I 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:44.360 got the alert, I'm sure you got it. What was 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:49.520 the ESPN? No meaningful that's what he's meaningful what he 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:55.400 said in the press conference, No meaningful throwing today. Yeah, 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:59.599 that's it. So mental weird. Yeah, I don't even know 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:01.880 how to that. I mean, you know, I mean he 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:05.360 may be out there. I mean he was out there yesterday. Yeah, 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:07.360 but you know, what did they do? Listen to me? 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:10.440 He was limited, but Cooper Rush said he got most 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:12.160 of the team work. Found it like he got it 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:16.040 all by the way, and and that probably will continue 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:18.960 today because they'll they'll take a look at it Friday 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:21.800 and see, okay, can you do some throwing? Then? I 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:26.600 what's your understanding on it? Is it more like inflammation swelling? 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:29.319 So I think when you sprain your ac joint, you 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:32.360 stretch it. I think that's what happens in your shoulder 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:35.439 right right in here. And I don't know that it's 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:38.040 it's a more it's a swelling. I think it's just 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:41.520 a kind of stretched and it does get painful. It's 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:45.640 one of those things where as you as you move it, 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:48.640 you you kind of hope for a pop or something, 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:52.000 but that never comes. Have you ever had one? I 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:54.440 have not had one. Not in my in my in 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:58.040 my wrist, I had okay, a sprain, but never in 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:02.760 my shoulder. That's yeah. If I had something, my shoulder 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:06.760 is usually bone. Yeah right, I never had it. It 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:09.160 wasn't muscle, it was straight bone. See. And I think 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:13.760 sometimes when you separate your shoulder, then you you irritate 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:16.679 the ac joints so bad. Idea when they go in there, 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:19.439 they have to fix that. Two. Yeah, it's a it's 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:21.920 a fairly common football injury. We've seen it with this 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.920 team over the years, but not necessarily with a quarterback 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:28.720 to his right throwing shoulder problem. As a dB, I could, 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:32.559 I could, I had one show, I could, I could say, Hey, 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:35.839 tell the other safety the corner, let's switch sides, because 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:37.319 I know that I'm going to be using a particularly 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:39.319 shoulder more than the other if it gets that despot. 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:43.120 But you know, throwing totally different thing. Totally different thing. 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:44.880 And you know when you go back, and we got 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:46.920 a chance after the show to go back and look 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:49.800 at the play. And it was that first and ten 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:52.360 from the ten yard line their second possession when he 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:55.320 faked the hand off to Zeke and ran to the 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:59.160 outside for seven yards and Clay Matthews fell on top 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:01.240 made the tackle, fell on top of him, and he 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:05.080 fell on his right shoulder with two hundred and fifty 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:09.000 pounds on him. So, uh now he jumped up after 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:13.920 the plate. Never saw him like like that, you see. 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:18.520 And my understanding is that he didn't really complain about it, 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:23.000 but the trainers were aware that there was some discomfort 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:26.600 in there when it took place. So and you know, Dak, 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:29.240 he's not sliding if he sees the first down marker, 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:32.600 He's going for the first down and he's going head first. Uh, 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:35.320 he could have slid. I couldn't remember. I had to 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:38.000 be reminded that even if it's a planned run, the 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:42.120 quarterback still can slide with the luxury of not getting 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:44.559 hit of course. Yeah, I was thinking you only did 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:46.160 that when you ran out of the pocket like you 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:48.800 were trying to throw. But yeah, that's a pretty good, like, 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:55.000 I mean, slick move right doing. And Russell Wilson doesn't. 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:57.600 He'll take off and go for thirty yards and oh 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:01.040 I'm slided, I think after ten yards slides off. Yeah, no, 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:06.920 Lamar Jackson. Yeah right, So, I mean it's hard to 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:08.959 make a declaration about where he is and what he's 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:10.360 going to be able to do this week because we 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:13.240 just don't He hasn't thrown this week really much, and 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:15.600 we don't really know he's going to be like in 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:18.839 a day as much less three days. Yeah, and I 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.679 and I think he'll play. Now, the question is how 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:25.120 effective will it? Will it affect what he does, will 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:28.280 it affect how they call the game? Will it affect 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:31.400 how the Eagles decide to play defense? If they are 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:34.800 aware of this now, what they're going to be watching 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:39.840 him very closely in warm ups. Right, we all are 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:42.000 going to be sort of like we watch a kicker 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:43.960 warm up before the game. Now he's going to watch 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:47.600 the quarterbacks. But you know there was sometimes when Tony 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:50.120 was in that situation, he didn't go out there and 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:53.400 throw smart right smart, And then he would he would 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:55.800 stay in the locker room just just in the bows 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:58.280 of the stadium itself and just kind of you know 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:01.680 how dusted in there. Yeah, because he would come out 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:04.200 when when he had to come out, it's like, oh, Romo, 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:06.040 is he gonna play or not? And you know a 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:08.400 lot of times what they did, if there's something that 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:10.640 they could do a little something to help him out, 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:13.840 they would do that, like right before kickoff something. It 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:18.920 would last something, so it would last three hours, right 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:26.800 something you said, I would uh, yeah, I'm gonna miss 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:31.440 the pregame routine. Then yeah, a little yeah that might 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:35.200 be hard. You might have to tone it down fifteen 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:39.320 percent or so that we'll see. Um. So now you know, 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:43.040 I mean good that Cooper Rush gets the gets the work. 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:46.360 He that's not what I want to see since I 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:48.640 know that, but I want to Since he got here 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:53.320 in twenty seventeen, he has never taken a full practice 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:55.880 with the first team. He's never had to do it. 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:59.520 That's a luxury and that's the luxury of Dak Prescott 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:02.280 right resolutely. I mean he never missed a practice and 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:05.520 so that was the first time, you know, Cooper said, yeah, 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:07.480 that was kind of fun at practice. You know, I'm 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:09.640 not running the scout team. It's like he's not being 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:13.120 the you know, the Washington General's out there and you know, 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:17.360 purposely failing. So the defense feels good about you. And 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:21.760 then the other thing that happened is Thorsen, the practice 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:26.400 squad quarterback. He's usually on the practice squad because Cooper's 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:29.600 taken the reps for the scout team. So what his 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:32.920 job is play wide receiver and defensive back on the 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:39.160 scout team. So he actually yes, nice, absolutely, yeah, because 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:41.960 his best practice is before the games. If you've noticed, 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:44.040 when they go out early, he goes out there and 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:48.000 John Kitten runs them through some drills, makes him drop back, 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:50.200 moved to your right throw when they have a guy 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:51.640 standing there and you got to hit it. It's like 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:54.560 he gets workout in. Oh, it's a huge workout. Yeah, 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:58.280 but you know here he basically what he's doing, he's 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:00.720 everything else but the quarterback, you think they would need 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:02.800 to make a move and get a third quarterback up 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:05.560 on the roster. I think that I think that would 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:08.720 that would we that would be determined or we would 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:12.160 know the level of Dack's discomfort if they do that 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:14.840 by Saturday, or worried that he's got to be on 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:18.800 the fifty three man roster because you don't want to 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:21.840 do that. You have to release somebody if you do it, 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:25.000 and there'll be some team out there that could claim somebody. 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:29.600 Let's let's let's think about it like this. Okay, God 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:35.200 God willing Cowboys win. You know that whatever happens, we're 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:37.720 not playing him. Oh he sits watching you. That's I 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:39.800 was just gonna say that because this is a winner 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:43.440 take all game. You're seating or whatever, you're set. You 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:45.360 got a home playoff game if you win this game. 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.760 So would you say, regardless, this is his last game 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:54.560 of the regular season. Regardless, Well, unless they lose, yeah 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:59.160 they're not. Still you gotta win then for sure. I 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:01.320 guess it's not winner to take golf for Philly. It's 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:05.000 a winner take off for Dallas Sunday. Yeah I misspoke there, 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.359 but yeah, I mean that would be ideal, wouldn't it 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:10.040 Just And Mickey said this to me yesterday. This is 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:12.800 what happens. You know, you always look back at the 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:15.040 schedule at the end of the year and saying, well, 0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:17.040 let that one get away from us. The Catboys have 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:20.280 a few games and it was just picked one game 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:22.920 out of the six that they lost. Okay, yeah, one 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:25.240 game out of the six, just the six that three 0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:27.399 and three there, Mickey will be telling me about the 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:31.040 Jets game, you know in thirty years. No, then then 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:32.720 the old Hill forget And then they'll say, no, it 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:34.879 was the Patriots game. And they'll say, no, no, not that, 0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:38.959 it was always the Jets. Always the Jets game. Fifty 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:43.680 ninety two yard touchdown. See, that's a setup move. That 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:46.520 that's the that's the plays that I play for. Okay, 0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:48.040 they're gonna try and fool me on this, wee. I 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:51.320 always played for those plays, you know, because you got 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:55.800 offensive coordinators. Let's just face it. The jokes and they 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:59.840 they always want to embarrass the cornerback. And when when 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:02.480 is the best part to embarrass the cornerback when you're 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:05.560 playing tight. You got them down there deep, they got 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:11.879 nothing to lose. What were they you're gonna tell me 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:14.520 as a cornerback, I'm thinking, Oh, he's gonna run a 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:18.160 curl out. Yeah, why would you even bite they hand off? 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:21.280 Come on, man, I'll be at the at the fifty 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:25.040 yard line waiting on that pass. Quarterback hasn't played in 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:29.720 three weeks and they just dropped them on. So that's 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:32.720 one of those situations where I don't give a dog 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:35.200 on what you run in the combhind. Okay, what you 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:37.520 what your forty is. I don't care what your vertical is. 0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:41.760 That has nothing to do with how well you can play. 0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:46.280 That play, which happens a lot in many games, determines 0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:50.280 how smart you are. Period. It has nothing to do 0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:53.119 with I could have set my grandmother back there in 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:55.280 the wheelchair and she'd be like, all right, I got 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:57.560 a chance to make this play instead of biting on it, 0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:00.360 instead of biting on a ten yard stutter. So those 0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:02.560 are the kind of things I know we're going off 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:08.880 the whaleship of things that a heads up player, you'll 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:12.160 have to be a great athlete, just a heads up 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:15.480 player that can make a difference. And not just the game, 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:18.879 but according to Spags, a season, plays that shape the 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:20.960 season shape the season. Be nice to be eight and 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:23.760 six at this point, right, but go back to that 0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:26.640 Rams game in twenty seven.
