Hello, gentlemen, how are you? 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:59.320 I'm doing great? How are you guys? And very well? 0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:07.959 Not very well? Get my homework? You did your homework? Yeah, 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:11.400 I didn't do my homework, especially at kid. I did 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:16.800 my homework. Yeah, And now that you mentioned it, I 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.120 forgot to do my homework and I'm going to do 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:22.120 it right now. And y'a was talking this first segment. 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:30.520 I'll do my homework. So here we are, and don't 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:35.120 get this roo ate your homework. I don't know that 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:38.320 that was on the air out there. Chris Beam, our producer, 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.760 We may have just told us in our ears behind 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:45.480 the scenes, but he said that romo ate it, meaning 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:48.920 my dog romo ate my homework, and that was that 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:54.200 was in all likelihood exactly what happened, all right, Mickey, Yes, Um, 0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:59.200 Mike McCarthy had his usual Friday morning press conference, and 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:04.080 we saw the injury report after yesterday's work out Dan, 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:08.240 which the most extensive workout of the week, and sounds 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:10.640 like Zeke didn't do as much as they had hoped 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:12.880 it he would do. And yesterday's work out, yeah, I 0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:19.080 thought that was somewhat alarming the fact that he didn't 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:21.760 do as much, and they said that they would kind 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:25.639 of recheck them on Saturday. So yeah, that's just what 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:29.600 the Cowboys need, right that, you know, just uh lose 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:34.520 another Pro Bowl starting player going into the game against 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:39.960 UM as you said, the undefeated seven and oh Pittsburgh Steelers. 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:44.400 So yeah, you know, I figured that they were just 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:46.920 trying to get them to Sunday, and maybe that's what 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:51.040 they're doing. Jerry sounded a little bit more optimistic. But 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:57.440 you know, when Kellen Moore did his conference called this 0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:01.280 morning and he was asked about it, and you know what, 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:08.040 uh he uh he said that you know that will 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:11.760 be something that uh, well, we'll just have to see 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:16.679 uh And he said, uh, uh, you know, we don't 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:20.400 know where it's at yet. But he invoked the name 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:24.840 of Rico Dottle, And I'm guessing most people don't even 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:29.200 know that he that rookie undrafted free agent is on 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:32.840 the fifty three man roster and has actually been active 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:37.400 on game day, uh basically just playing special teams. Hadn't 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:41.040 had an offensive snap yet. But when I heard that, 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.840 I was like, I don't know, maybe we need to 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:46.200 be a little bit more concerned and keep an eye 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:51.120 on Zeke uh during warmups for Sunday's game. So yeah, 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:55.200 that's a little bit troubling. Um, probably can you enlighten 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:58.960 me on Enrico? Can you enlighten the fans on Enrico? 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:02.280 Who is Rico? He was the running back if I 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:09.520 remember correctly, from South Carolina A right, yeah, and kind 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:12.520 of a shifty guy. Maybe not quite as big as 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:15.760 the other guys, but line in the way that he plays, 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:18.719 he's shifting in the way that he plays. Yes, yeah, okay, 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:24.560 lou allright, just checking. Not like he's a member of 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:30.560 the mafia or anything, right, leave it to ever, right, 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:35.120 So I'm just checking. So yeah, you know he got in. 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:39.360 He actually he has three offensive snaps, Mickeyaton for those 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:41.840 who stuck around for the I didn't see that when 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:44.920 I look for those who stuck around for the end 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:49.159 of that Monday night game against Arizona. He had three 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:54.920 carries in that game for thirteen yards. No way Preco Dottle, 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:59.720 Yeah didn't. Okay, did he pronounce it Doddle? Oh? I had. 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.240 That's the way to go. I don't know. I'm going 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:05.520 with I've been going with Rico Doubtle. We have to 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:09.239 fags every once in a while. See, this is this 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:13.720 is the problem with not having preseason games. Okay, we 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:17.760 would all know who Rico Doubtle or Rico Dowdle is 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:20.880 if we had had preseason games this year, because he 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:24.320 would have been the leading ball carrier for the Cowboys 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:28.120 in the preseason. And that's how damn Instead we have 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:34.600 to depend on Spagnola with unreliable information. Yes, all right, 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:43.279 I missed three snaps okay, garbage time against the Arizona Cardinals. 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.719 We would we would have known all about him and 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:50.520 the other running back from TCU. Right that basically, well, 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:53.440 we knew about the running back from TCU Jeddy Henderson. 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:58.520 We make sure in Big twelve country here, and we 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:03.000 know about the dimension saw alana Lua, right, and he's 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:05.840 still fullback, That's right, he's still on the practice lay. 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:09.320 If they need a full back too, well, I mean 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:11.680 you know what, he's not just a fullback. That guy 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:17.119 can play running back in fact, in fact the second 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:19.799 half of this season. If you know what, I wouldn't 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:23.240 mind seeing a little shawo Alana Lua on this team. Uh, 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:26.800 you know. Uh, And if Zeke can't go, I wouldn't 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:32.040 mind seeing shaw alana Luah on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, uh, 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:36.360 because I think that they need to run the football 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:44.559 at these Pittsburgh Steelers and and U. And I also 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:47.440 thought that I was thinking about it yesterday. How do 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.480 you how do you, as a head coach motivate the 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:54.880 Cowboys to the point where they think that they can 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:58.880 actually win this game over the Pittsburgh Steelers? All right? 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.000 What would be the best way to motivate them? And 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.919 one of the things I thought of. One of Zeke's 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:08.200 greatest games in his NFL career was four years ago 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:10.880 at Pittsburgh. I think you know. And that's with the 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.280 game where he had the eighty three yard touchdown reception 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:15.640 and he broke it open at the end of the 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:18.840 game and they had two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:23.680 He told he had two hundred nine yards and three touchdowns. 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:26.840 And what I would do on Saturday night at the 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:31.800 team meeting, I'm showing Zeke against the Pittsburgh Steelers from 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:35.440 four years ago, just to plant in this team's mind 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:39.120 see it can be done. And that was at Pittsburgh. 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:42.160 Now the problem with that now, if Zeke's not gonna 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:45.400 play in the game, then it defeats its own purpose 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:47.920 that the players are looking at that video going bit. 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:51.120 That'd be great if we only had Zeke in this game. 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:55.119 But I have to say, guys, when you're talking about 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:59.600 Tony Pollock, very accompassed. I'm sure both of you agree 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:03.800 with me on this. How accomplished Tony Pollard is the 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.800 only thing I would say about him, because God, he's 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:10.520 so amazing. He hits the holes quicker than than Zeke does. 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:14.240 He has his own unique style, which I love, but 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:20.320 I think they go better together. I think the contrast 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:24.360 between Zeke starting off with Zeke coming with the power 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:28.240 you know, coming coming with the aggression and then we 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:30.920 change over to Tony Pollard and when he comes to 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:36.240 the game, the difference in the speed is noticeable, and 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:39.319 I think it takes some defenses off guard. So I 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:45.079 think Tony Pollard's best when he compliments Zeke Elliott. I'm 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:49.160 curious to see how well he plays without the accompaniment 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:51.640 of Zeke Ellitt in this ball game. Yeah, because the 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:54.480 change of pace I think really helps him out. Yeah, 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:57.960 and I don't know. I don't know if he's capable 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:01.240 of taking twenty twenty five snap seither. We haven't seen that. 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:06.640 So uh, they think just how effective he'll be. Just 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:09.040 need to get to work on that hamstring, which, by 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:12.720 the way, um, I believe it was Kellen Moore pointed 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:18.440 it out, Uh that Zeke tweaked the hamstring chasing down 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:22.640 McLeod on that fumble return for a touchdown. So Mike 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:27.199 McCarthy pointed it out. McCarthy, Yeah, McCarthy said, yeah. And 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:30.720 so for all the people out there they think Zeke loafs. 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:33.560 All I know is when I went back and looked 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.959 at that play, Zeke was on the ground where the 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:42.160 fumble was initially recovered. Uh, and by time he got up, 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:45.120 McLeod had the ball and had a ten to twelve 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.760 yard head start on him, and by time they got 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:50.439 to the end zone, Zeke was only three yards behind. 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:53.439 Now I know, he almost leon ledded it right and 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:55.720 kind of held the ball up at about the five 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:57.959 yard line and took a foot off the gas pedal, 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:01.000 But Zeke was gaining on him. For those folks that 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:04.400 think that he's not motivated, that he doesn't try, go 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:06.520 back and look at the game. He was the guy 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.719 that was gaining on McLeod the entire time. For what 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:12.640 was it was it sixty yards fifty three yard return? 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:16.200 Sixty three yards sixty three? Yeah, so but that's where 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:20.760 he evidently tweaked the hamstring. Well. And the other part 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.560 of that, Mickey, is there's so many times on plays 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:27.560 like that that during the course of the week, especially 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.600 once the coaches film gets available on NFL dot Com, 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:33.920 people will go back and they'll rag on players for 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:37.120 loafing once they can see the all twenty two. And 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:39.080 so I was going to point out that same thing 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:43.640 about Zeke. Let's give him some credit because he didn't 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:45.679 have because he was not going to win that race. 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:48.120 He was not going to catch McLeod going to the 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:50.199 end zone, but you could see yet in his mind 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:52.280 that if he could catch him, he was going to 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:55.640 try to knock that ball out like don Beebe or 0:10:55.720 --> 0:11:00.840 like Trayvon Diggs. Yes, you know it. I like sometimes 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:05.040 that frustration, you know, can bring on a sense of urgency, 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:07.480 and not just for that one play. I mean, you 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:10.760 would look for those type of players could make you 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:13.599 so upset to where you say, you know what, this 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:17.840 is the last straw. And that was in that particular game. 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:21.679 That was Zeke's attitude. But you want that attitude to 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:24.760 go towards the rest of the season as well, for 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:28.640 any individual, whether it's Zeke or not. You know, the 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:32.920 other thing on that play, you know, it was Vinny 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:36.920 Curry who we thought had possession and was down by 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:39.719 contact and the ball was stripped out. You know, keep 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:43.160 in mind that was a fourth down play, and it's 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:45.800 it's such a scrum you can't really tell exactly what 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:49.480 is happening in the pile up there. It's conceivable that 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:53.599 Vinny Curry himself tossed the ball out in order to 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:55.960 give his teammate a chance to run for a touchdown 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:59.880 with it because it was towards the other end of 0:11:59.920 --> 0:12:02.959 the field and there was an opportunity there for a 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.640 scoop and score, which is exactly what happened on the plot. Now, 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.360 that's a good point. So has the NFL comeback and 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:14.440 made a statement or have we uh demanded any type 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:17.280 of statement from them in regards to that play. Oh, 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:20.439 I think that the Cowboys for sure have gotten you know, 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:22.560 they wrote it up and they I'm sure they got 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:27.160 an explanation from the league. It's my understanding that the 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:31.240 officials did not know, didn't even realize what was going 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:34.080 on on it that that is not a good answer. 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:39.640 But Bill's right, that's exactly what they didn't understand. What 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:42.600 they didn't understand what was going on from the snap 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:45.880 of the football when it was in the neutrals. Yeah, 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:49.280 the off sides. The officials didn't see the off sides 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:52.760 much less what was going on in that pile there. 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:56.679 They were all retreating downfield by lack of success that 0:12:56.840 --> 0:13:01.160 they give us these crappy three teams, I mean, what 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:04.800 is happening? Man? They have no idea that we're like, oh, 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:07.439 I'm sorry, we missed it. That's it. That's all you 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:10.520 got you know what? You know what I did that? 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:13.959 I did that to an umpire. Uh when I was 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:17.800 managing a girls fast pitch softball team. They were junior high. 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:22.199 Can you imagine umpire. The umpire was was half you 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:25.040 know what I mean? Half you know what? Is right? 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:27.440 And I finally went out and I yelled at him. 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:30.600 I said, hey, just because these are girls, don't sit 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.520 here and think this game's not important. You do your job. 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:39.280 He didn't take kindly to it. Ever, Ever, Everson, I 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:44.079 just had this, this mental picture of Mickey Spagnola at 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:48.560 a eight and under girls fast softball game at any 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:54.240 he's got, he's got. He looks like Bill, he looks 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:58.280 like Billy Martin in the dugout. He's got his camp on, 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:01.079 he's got, he's in full UNI for him. And he 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:05.360 goes out and argues with the umpire and throws his hat, 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:08.880 turns his head around backwards, kicks dirt on home play. 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:12.040 Nicky at the eighth and under fast pitch Softball should 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:16.280 have it. He was he was ever, he was the 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:18.760 only he was the only coach in the league with 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:25.520 a clipboard was clipboard down and maybe the only one 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:32.880 that knew what he was doing too. Oh, that reminds 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:35.760 me I did by the way I did ahead the 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:38.080 way I did, by the way get ejected from one 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:41.440 game too. I was gonna say that was coming. The 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:44.320 injection had to be coming. And you're not the only 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:46.320 one spect I got kicked out of a game for 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:50.280 being a just a spectator. So yeah, been there, done that, pal. 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:57.960 I'm with you, man, Just do your shot, do your job. Hey. 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:00.920 There was one time and I coached my girls in 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:06.200 eight and under, ten and under youth basketball, and I 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:10.480 remember there's several years later, I was working for CBS eleven. 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:15.960 I was at Terrell Owens charity basketball game over at 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:19.120 ar Old Turner High School and they had officials and 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:22.520 everything at it. And one of the female officials comes 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:26.000 up to be and she looks at me and she says, 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:31.720 you're that coach from South Lake, aren't you? She remembered, 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:36.160 She remembered me from eight and under girls basketball. Getting 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:38.600 on the officials, I said, no, I don't know. We 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:44.920 are a rep. Bill had a rep. Oh. Bill, Well, 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:48.320 when I coached my son's basketball team, I would never 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:50.880 get kicked out of the game. I would always sacrifice 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:53.720 my players to go do some dirty work and get 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.640 kicked out of the game. That's how I sent a message. 0:15:57.000 --> 0:15:59.400 So it's a little different from you know what you 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:02.680 guys are him. Were you ever as mad as what 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:07.120 Mike McCarthy appeared to be on the sideline after Dalton 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:10.440 Schultz was called for a hold in Philadelphia on Sunday night. 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:14.120 Not as mad because you couldn't see my face changing 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:17.120 colors the way you saw McCarthy's face, Well, you couldn't 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:19.520 see his face spent with a mask gun, you couldn't 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:21.560 see all of his face. But he was as mad 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:25.120 as as he's probably ever been, and he was justified 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:27.920 because that was that was bogus. I believe that was 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:31.560 around the holding call Schultz, if I'm not mistaken, It 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:34.440 took it took away a first down run by Ben Denucci. 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:37.800 It was a significant, horrible bubble call. Yeah, houbbal call 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:42.440 call right and pubble call. I feel like he probably 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:45.680 saw it on the jumbo tron in the stadium and uh, 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.080 and so that's how he because it's on the other 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:51.320 side of the field from McCarthy, and so he gave 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:53.880 him an earful and then something all right, looked like 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:56.600 that mask got hot looked like that mask got real hot. 0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:03.760 That's exactly right where I'll tell you that's okay. How 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:07.880 can the Cowboys beat the Steelers on Sunday? And who 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:11.560 do you think will be the Cowboys starting quarterback?

All right, all right, still don't know. 0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:49.680 We still don't know who the president is, although we've 0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:52.879 got to think we've got a pretty good idea. We 0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:57.280 don't know who the starting quarterback for the Cowboys is 0:19:57.320 --> 0:20:00.840 gonna be at three twenty five on s Day afternoon. 0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:04.879 Do we have a fairly good idea who it might be? 0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:08.760 Mickey Spagnola? What do you think? I think? Uh? Mike 0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:11.920 McCarthy continues to answer the question when he's asked about 0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:14.879 the two quarterbacks, and the first one he mentioned still 0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:20.920 is is Garrett Gilbert. So I'm sticking with that, That's 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:24.840 what we're going with. I just think that you know, 0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:31.480 he at least has started games, meaning he started games 0:20:31.560 --> 0:20:33.560 in the AF and I know it was the AF, 0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:37.000 but that wasn't very long ago, right, and he actually 0:20:37.119 --> 0:20:41.680 started what eight games playing in that league, so to me, 0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:44.960 and he's been here a little bit longer, and I 0:20:45.119 --> 0:20:48.480 just don't I just don't know, I mean, And even 0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:51.639 Kellen Moore mentioned it because he was asked about how 0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:53.720 do you divide up the snaps and he goes, well, 0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:58.119 you really can't do that. And I was listening to 0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:01.960 Cooper Rush and Rush even mentioned that he had taken 0:21:02.240 --> 0:21:04.760 he gets snaps and he said to Night, I've also 0:21:04.920 --> 0:21:08.480 run the scout team. So that to me, I don't 0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:11.320 know if that's a tipping point or not. But I 0:21:11.400 --> 0:21:14.520 don't think that he's gonna say Obviously, he doesn't talk 0:21:14.600 --> 0:21:18.840 again until after the game McCarthy, So I don't think 0:21:18.920 --> 0:21:21.600 he wants to give them, you know, an ability for 0:21:21.720 --> 0:21:24.959 a scouting report on who the quarterback is. But if 0:21:25.040 --> 0:21:28.760 I was going to guess that, that would be my guess. Well, 0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:31.120 I wonder if you ask Gary Gilbert if he's taken 0:21:31.160 --> 0:21:33.320 any snaps with the scout team, he might say that 0:21:33.480 --> 0:21:38.880 he's taking team too. Yeah right, yeah, So you want 0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:41.280 to give him as many snaps as possible throughout the week. 0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:43.800 So the ones he's not with the first team, you 0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:45.920 put him with the scout team for now. Well, but 0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:48.119 but but think about it. They also have to have 0:21:48.240 --> 0:21:51.560 a backup quarterback ready, right, So it's not just getting 0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:53.720 one guy ready, You got to get the other guy 0:21:53.840 --> 0:21:58.160 ready too, unless you're gonna keep all three quarterbacks active 0:21:58.960 --> 0:22:03.399 on game days. Uh yeah, it's uh well, considering the 0:22:03.480 --> 0:22:07.480 fact that Pittsburgh has sacked people so many times thirty, Yeah, 0:22:07.600 --> 0:22:11.520 you better have a backup ready. H I think somebody 0:22:11.640 --> 0:22:15.040 needs to be prepared just in case something goes down. 0:22:15.680 --> 0:22:22.720 But to be prepared too, Hey, think should be prepared. 0:22:22.800 --> 0:22:25.879 No doubt a ballot might need all three. Hey, if 0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:28.160 it takes that much to beat these guys, I'm fine 0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:31.480 with it. But I did my little I did my 0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:34.159 little research on the Steelers, and I'm still pissed off 0:22:34.200 --> 0:22:37.159 from nineteen seventy eight. Man, I'm still mad and when 0:22:37.200 --> 0:22:39.480 I was back at Graamville. So I'm getting kind of 0:22:39.520 --> 0:22:42.800 fired up as to get closer. But I'm with you SPACs. Uh. 0:22:43.400 --> 0:22:47.800 Probably Gilbert uh, simply because he's you know, I'm more 0:22:47.920 --> 0:22:51.440 mature human being. I mean he's older, basically. I guess 0:22:51.960 --> 0:22:55.240 that would be better, as you said, some experience on 0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:59.040 a professional level regardless, and he did a very good 0:22:59.119 --> 0:23:02.160 job in that role in the AAF. I believe it's 0:23:02.160 --> 0:23:05.159 what you said the league he was in, right, But 0:23:05.320 --> 0:23:08.080 let's it's just like the president man, you know, Cooper Rush. 0:23:08.560 --> 0:23:11.560 He's finding the lawsuit in the state of Pennsylvania. So 0:23:11.800 --> 0:23:14.880 now we gotta wait until next week before we find 0:23:14.920 --> 0:23:17.000 out who's going to be the starters. So it depends 0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:19.639 on what the judge says first. Then we'll find out 0:23:19.680 --> 0:23:23.320 who's going to be the starter. All right, all right, 0:23:23.400 --> 0:23:28.000 so how about what was your guests? It's it's Gilbert. 0:23:28.080 --> 0:23:30.640 I've said all week that I thought Garrett Gilberts guy, 0:23:30.880 --> 0:23:33.119 and a lot of it I think has to do 0:23:33.240 --> 0:23:36.320 with the fact that that Gilbert has been here for 0:23:36.400 --> 0:23:38.840 a longer period of time. I mean, I take the 0:23:38.880 --> 0:23:41.520 guy that's been here three weeks over the guy that's 0:23:41.560 --> 0:23:45.200 been here for three days. And so I mean, we 0:23:45.280 --> 0:23:47.360 saw what happened last week when the guy with three 0:23:47.440 --> 0:23:51.520 days of practice got into the game, and so I'll 0:23:51.560 --> 0:23:55.120 go with I'll go with the guy with three weeks um. 0:23:55.400 --> 0:23:58.040 And you know, since we're more than that, I was 0:23:58.119 --> 0:24:00.040 gonna say, since I go ahead, since we're on the 0:24:00.200 --> 0:24:05.240 quarterbacks right. Thanks to my good buddy David Smoke, I 0:24:05.400 --> 0:24:11.840 saw this note Dak Prescott in his what four plus 0:24:11.960 --> 0:24:16.480 games through for one eight hundred and fifty six yards. 0:24:18.440 --> 0:24:24.320 Derek Carr, Ryan Tannehill, Ben Roethlisberger, Lamar Jackson, Kyler Murray, 0:24:24.480 --> 0:24:29.280 Kirk Cousins, David Jones, and Justin Herbert have not thrown 0:24:29.400 --> 0:24:34.560 for more yards yet than Dak Prescott. So if you 0:24:34.720 --> 0:24:38.000 wonder how important Dak Prescott was to this whole thing, 0:24:38.560 --> 0:24:42.760 just think about that and get this. Philip Rivers is 0:24:42.840 --> 0:24:46.639 only thrown now four more yards than Dak. Carson Wentz 0:24:46.760 --> 0:24:51.800 twenty seven and the Drew Brees only forty two more yards. 0:24:51.840 --> 0:24:54.800 And what Dak did in four plus games, So that 0:24:55.040 --> 0:24:58.560 tells you what he was doing up until the point 0:24:58.680 --> 0:25:04.600 where he dislocated and had the fractured ankle. Crazy. All right, 0:25:04.920 --> 0:25:09.800 I'll let you know that Dak was headed towards a year. 0:25:11.600 --> 0:25:14.960 I guess it fortunately or unfortunately like no other because 0:25:15.040 --> 0:25:18.680 he was forced to throw that many times. He was 0:25:18.800 --> 0:25:21.119 forced to be put in that position. And you know, 0:25:21.200 --> 0:25:23.760 they kept talking about the garbage numbers and all of that. 0:25:24.640 --> 0:25:28.080 Garbage numbers are not numbers when you are putting your 0:25:28.160 --> 0:25:31.960
