Here are Bill Jones, 0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:28.280 Everson Walls, and Nicky Spagnola, and. 0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:32.720 It is time for another edition of Mickshots inside the 0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:38.879 SWBC podcast studio on a very busy Thursday here at 0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:42.360 the Star in Frisco. Yes, it was an early wake 0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:46.000 up call for everybody today, including Everson Walls. 0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:48.120 Right, Everson Walls, that's right, sir. 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:49.919 What did he have to get up early for? 0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:51.320 I had to cancel this meeting? 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:52.000 He can? 0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:57.040 There you go, as the Cowboys are beating the heat 0:00:57.360 --> 0:01:00.440 in an effort to beat the Giants on Sunday night. 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:05.440 And speaking of heat, it is at twelve noon in Frisco, 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:08.479 Texas won one hundred degrees. 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:13.959 Well, that's why they began going up to one eight today. 0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:17.960 Why they began practice at nine o'clock this morning and 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:23.120 at nine thirty I looked at my my phone and 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:27.520 it said eighty nine degrees. Feels like one hundred because 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:32.000 there was sixty percent humidity. So I'm guessing that's right 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:35.480 about what's going to take place Sunday night in New York. 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:40.240 You know, it's interesting one hundred percent humidity, No, it's 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:45.640 a one hundred degrees degree six. It's interesting because I 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:48.960 just taped the Coaches Show and just returned from the 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:49.800 TV studio. 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:51.960 Guarth, you're looking so spiffy. 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:55.760 And he said that it felt cooler on the practice 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:59.160 field this morning than it certainly did yesterday. However, Yes, 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:03.240 the temperature at noon yesterday was ninety one degrees and 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:05.000 at noon today at one hundred degrees. 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:08.280 I think the sun was more intense yesterday. Yeah, well, 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:11.320 I bet there was a room full of ivs going 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:12.560 after that practice. 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:18.799 The hottest game I've ever played Atlanta Falcons. I think 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:24.160 it was like one hundred and twenty five in Texas Stadium. 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:27.360 That was a lot in Texas Texas Stateium, because you know, 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:31.560 they used to have that thermometer that round looked like 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.840 an old block on the wall there, and I remember 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:36.440 doing pregame shows. 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:40.240 Holy Kyle, you know that was really humane when you think, 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:45.239 well that was that and it wasn't a no no air. 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:49.200 Then they got an artificial they upgraded to fans. 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.000 Yeah, yeah, right, Yeah. 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.120 What the heck that was all about? It just swirled and. 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:55.959 The way the roof, the roy the roof was constructed, 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:58.519 there wasn't a lot of air coming in. 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:02.160 Yeah, Texas Stadium always, he's felt hotter when it was hot, 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:03.680 and colder when it was cold. 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.200 For some reason, I guess, I can't believe we were 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:09.480 allowed to play there and subject the fans to that 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.400 kind of heat. It was against the Falcons if I recalled, 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.280 and they were doing the run and shoot. So I 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.080 was running my ass up and down the field all 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:20.800 day long with this guy. It was here, it was, 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:22.680 and they never threw them the ball because you know 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:24.400 the running shoot they used the constant on the stoe. 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:26.519 You ever playing a hot game that you needed an IV? 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:27.280 No? 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:31.320 Never, No, Because you know guys, I askually. I was 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:37.360 asking Martin, Zach Martin if he ever had to take 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:40.000 an IV like during the game, and he said yeah, 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:42.800 at halftime. I said, how long does it take? And 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:44.560 he goes, well, you just get as much as you 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.400 can and then you your twelve minutes are up and 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:49.800 you got to go. I said, do they sit there 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:52.120 and squeeze the bag to make it go faster? And 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:57.320 he goes sometimes. Hey, I remember, I remember in which 0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:00.760 top falls when they were doing two days as hot 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:04.320 as it was there was for training camp. Uh. They 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:07.400 basically had a room set up for IV so they 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:10.440 can do multiple at the same time, and guys were 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:14.120 getting them left and right after that morning the morning press. 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:14.680 Right. 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:17.440 Yeah, I remember I went out there. I was working 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:20.560 with Uh. I can't remember. I was working with Fox, 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.800 working with Deucy. And I brought my ten speed out 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:26.480 there because I stayed out there for a while. 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:29.919 Yeah, and I bought my tent speed. It was hot. 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.320 That's why they called first practice. 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:36.680 That's why they called their their bike race in August 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:38.000 the hotter and the hell hundreds. 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:41.200 And I thought that every time I went to practice. 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:47.279 So because of the heat, everything got started earlier today. 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:51.560 And you we've already had the locker room availability. Mickey 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:55.479 has just returned from the locker room. And you just 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:59.040 mentioned you talk with Zach Martin and uh, was this 0:04:59.160 --> 0:04:59.880 DAC day two. 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.480 This was Dack Day. And I think he. 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:08.160 Must have said, must have said. 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:12.360 Like three times that, uh, he feels as comfortable as 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:16.080 he's ever been getting ready to start a season. So uh, 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:20.800 he said, my confidence is at an all time high. 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:22.640 It always is. That's that's nothing. 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:24.280 That's the way it should be when you start a 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:26.000 season right, kind of ready to go. 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:26.800 Uh. 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:32.120 So we saw our portion of practice and Tyler Smith 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:36.960 was still doing rehab work with Britt Brown, the Cowboys trainer. 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:37.840 Uh. 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.760 He was on the cords and I'll tell you what, 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:44.880 he was moving pretty good. If you got a really 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:48.919 tight hamstring, it's hard to do lunges right, and he 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:52.360 was doing lunges. Uh. He was doing the side steps 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:56.800 on the cords backwards forward, uh. And then near the 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.679 end of their little workout, he was doing side steps 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:04.159 but at a faster pace. So it looked like that 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:10.719 he was doing better improving, And as Mike McCarthy said that, 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:15.479 we'll see if he can participate in their workout they 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.400 do Saturday before they leave for the game, he goes 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.559 that would be the last threshold and if he's able 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:25.359 to participate then then he said he should be good 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:30.640 to go. So that was a that was a good sign, 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:31.680 let's put it that way. 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.240 So what happens if he is not good to go? 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:38.440 Well, from what it looked like during that, you know, 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:40.440 and it's hard to tell how they're lining up there 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:44.120 so far away from us, but it seems like that 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:48.720 Tuma Adoga has been taken snaps there in place the 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:52.960 Tyler Smith, and they have other guys they've worked in also, so. 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:57.760 You know Harlow Sean Harlowe. 0:06:58.040 --> 0:06:59.080 Harlow picked up. 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.120 He was in the Giants on the practice squad. On 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.200 the practice squad, right, so you have to squad to move. 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:06.880 He talked about him earlier in the week. 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.800 He actually started three games for Arizona last year, so. 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:11.000 He has experience. 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:11.640 Right. 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:17.320 TJ. Bass he still sort of on on the right 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:19.960 side guy. Although I asked him how his hand on 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:23.920 the ball was going, and he said, oh, it's better, 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:27.080 he's but he doesn't get to do it in practice. 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:30.720 It's before and when they do the quarterback thing before 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:34.200 practice and then some shotgun after and he goes, actually 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:38.240 the shotgun's coming along better than under center, and I said, 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:41.480 why is that? And he goes, well, shotgun, you got 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:43.560 a little margin for ara or the ball can go 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:47.800 here or there, he goes, But when you're under center, 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:50.800 you got to be accurate, like hit his hand right 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:52.480 where you're supposed to hit it right. 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:54.880 Do we have any left handed centers. 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:55.640 In the league. 0:07:55.880 --> 0:08:00.960 Yeah, random question, there you go. 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:03.840 Yeah, that's a prerequisite. 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:08.160 Yeah, is it easier, you know, left handed, just. 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:14.000 Like you can't be a left handed shortstop, and it's. 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.320 Real hard to be a left handed third baseman. 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:17.040 That's right. 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:19.600 Yeah, and so you can't be. 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:22.600 A left handed center. I've never thought of that before. 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:27.440 I mean, as long as you get the seams up there, right. 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:32.559 I think that if it's the direct snap versus the shot, yeah. 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:34.160 More, but therect one. 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:37.320 Although a left footed punter, it comes for the return 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:41.360 man on a left footed punt. It's different than you know, 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:43.359 what happened the ball. 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:46.520 The ball gave them on purpose, just to screw up. 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:49.800 Well. Chris Jones was a left handed punter. Yeah, and 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:52.959 left footed. Yeah, left handed. You might have been left handed. 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:58.160 Come on, and uh, his ball, the spin of it 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:01.319 would cause it the nose to kind of back up right. 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:06.960 So I remember the first game he kicked, and before 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:10.120 the game, Chris Boniol, the Cowboys former place kicker, he 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:14.600 was the special team's assistant at that time, kicking coach, 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:17.760 and he told me that it was against the Giants, 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:19.800 I want to say, and it was up there and 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:22.880 he said, they will fumble two punts. I go, what 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.880 do you mean? He goes he's left footed and his 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:30.280 ball backs up. And I'll be darned if they didn't 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:33.320 fumble the first one and won later in the game 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:37.720 because they misjudged where they're figuring it's landing here, but 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:40.400 it backed up on him and they had to move 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:44.319 up further. So there's something to a left footed punter. 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:45.319 Bill all right. 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:50.520 Kansas City plays Detroit tonight. There's the Kansas City Center. 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:54.080 Creed Humphrey, a left handed center. You can check him 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:54.640 out tonight. 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:55.880 That's crazy. Yeah. 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:57.720 They former Oklahoma sooner and. 0:09:57.679 --> 0:09:59.960 By the way, he under center behind him. 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:03.920 He's one of the best centers in the national football. 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:05.520 So did you google left handed? 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:10.880 We have a producer supreme. Oh, very good secret. We 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:14.560 didn't get the producer supreme. Chris Beam tipped me off 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:16.600 to that Creed Humphrey. 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:20.559 Wait to go. It doesn't make a difference because my 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:21.520 home doesn't. 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:25.880 Know the other thing. The other thing. In practice of significance, 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:30.280 Sam Williams, who didn't do much of anything yesterday, he's 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:33.880 got turf toe. He was in uniform and he was 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.960 going through all the drills and had a helmet on 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:40.960 in the practice part that we saw, so that looked, 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:45.440 you know, optimistic now that he should be ready to go. 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:48.320 He was one of the other ones, Donovan Wilson. I 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:51.480 think we talked about it yesterday. He would have been 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:52.560 still rehabbing. 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:53.400 But his. 0:10:56.960 --> 0:11:00.880 Lady, I don't know, wife, girlfriend, whatever, was having a 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:04.319 baby to die. Oh wow, so he was at the hospital. 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:08.200 It's not for him say significant, right, significant our thank you. 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:11.640 I was trying to figure that out. And Jordan Lewis 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:17.000 continues to practice, but I just don't see him playing 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:19.600 in this game. It's just too soon. 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:20.880 He's off the publics, right. 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:22.840 Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's active, yep. 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:28.040 But now the coach talked glowingly about where he is. 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:31.680 I know right now it'd be interesting if they one 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:34.679 padded practice and they say, okay, you're good to go. 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:38.600 If you haven't played since maybe October. 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:41.480 Of last year, he's still ramping up, ramp up. 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:43.120 I think that's what you all right. 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:46.640 I have a question about the offensive line, okay, and 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:52.000 especially with the Tyler Smith injury. Okay, So the way 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:54.960 you look at it, as far as the backups on 0:11:55.040 --> 0:12:00.640 the offensive line, you mentioneduma Idoga as the possibility guard, 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:05.920 so awesome. Richards would be back up at both left tackle, 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:09.120 and he's like third in line at left guard. Yeah, 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:12.360 Tyler Smith. If anything were to happen to Tyrant Tyler Smith, 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:14.679 Tyler Smith, the guy that over would kick out the 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:16.520 tackle like he did last year. 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:20.720 So because of their lack of depth on the offensive line, 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:26.400 I think they can withstand one thing. But now he 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:30.400 gets a little more complicated if somebody else gets hurt, right, 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:35.720 especially one of the tackles, because now with Tyler Smith 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:41.120 sort of iffy at this point anyway, although I do 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:44.439 think he's improving. If something happened to one of the tackles, 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:48.520 you know, Tyler Smith could go play tackle and then 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:50.000 you just find a guard. 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:54.079 But if Tyler is unavailable, then your backup tackles. 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:55.959 Now Adoga can play. 0:12:55.800 --> 0:13:00.640 Tackle, Yes he can, awesome Richard, Yes. 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:04.800 And then on the practice squad you've got an robostic. 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:05.800 Yeah. 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:07.720 I don't think you want to go in there, Alex 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:08.680 Taylor Prelo, I. 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:09.920 Don't think you want to go right. 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:11.880 So that's just giving you an idea. 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:15.760 Yeah, of the on the roster, both on. 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:17.880 The fifty three and the and the practice squad. 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:20.280 And so when we talk about what what worries you 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:22.880 about this team or where is a you know, kind 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:27.960 of a worrisome position, it's the depth on the offensive line, 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:29.920 and we're kind of seeing it right now. 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:34.400 And that also underscores the value of a healthy Tyler 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:39.480 Smith because he would be next man up at. 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:42.240 Left tackle, right, and then you need a guard now, 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:43.880 but Doga could do that. 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:44.439 There. 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:50.120 I mentioned TJ. Bass, but he's been more right side. Awesome. 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:53.640 Richards has played both spots, left side, but again he's 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:55.040 a fifth round draft choice. 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:58.040 Is this going on on every team in the league? 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:01.600 Yeah, I don't know. The offensive line yea. 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:04.320 And not having backups that are proven. 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:06.920 Yeah, when we were talking when I was talking with 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:11.200 Zach Martin yesterday, you know, one of the things that 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.200 he pointed out is, you know, if you look around 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:18.120 the league, you know, if teams have six offensive linemen, 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:21.200 they're good with you know, that's about where it's at. 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:23.680 But after that it gets a little thin because there's 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:25.720 just not a lot of offensive linemen. 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:28.520 So then the answer to my question is, yes. 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:31.440 That's why somebody says, go trade for somebody. Very few 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:34.520 teams have excess, right, It's like, okay, we can trade 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:34.880 this guy. 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:38.360 Why is it that there aren't enough offensive linemen because 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:43.040 when you got in college football, you've got dozens of 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:47.240 teams with five offensive linemen on each team that start, 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:50.360 and you can't get enough offensive lineman that can make 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:51.320 the transition to the. 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:56.160 NFL well, because the blocking in the college is a 0:14:56.200 --> 0:15:00.280 lot simpler. Basically, you're standing up in your passport. 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:02.360 So they're not getting developed right and. 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:04.480 Hitting on something. 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:07.440 Here Bill, and as I was talking, because wide. 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:09.880 Receivers, yeah, wide receivers have plenty. 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:16.479 You got running by. 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:18.600 Here's the answer. Nobody grows up and says, God, I 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:22.080 just want to go play guard. It doesn't happen, you know, 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:26.080 I asked. I got into the discussion with Zach yesterday 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:29.560 and I said, so, when you were growing up, did 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:32.040 you want to play guard? Just like that? And he goes, 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:34.800 I was actually on defense, and he goes, and I 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:37.480 was a defensive lineman, and then somewhere at the end 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:41.520 of high school to Notre Dame, I became an offensive lineman. 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:44.120 I said, but he didn't grow up wanting to play guard, 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.520 and he laughed, and he goes, No, I. 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:50.360 Gotta say I would do if I was a big guy, 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:53.560 I would love to play offense. Well, you you because 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:57.440 you can pancake people. You just get to beat everybody up. 0:15:57.680 --> 0:15:59.960 I mean to me, it seems like the perfect position 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:02.840 for a large human being with athletic. 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:06.760 Your percentages of if you're if you can get good 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:10.960 of succeeding or higher. Because there's fewer candidates on the 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:12.200 offensive line. 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:14.960 It seems like they really get a charge out of 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.160 Not really, they could care less if anyone knows who 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:21.240 they are. But if we're driving down the field, no 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:23.720 one takes more pride that than an offensive line. 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:26.080 But if you're good, you want to play tackle, right, 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:28.400 and if you're kind of good, you want to play center. 0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:30.120 Those are the spots that get paid. 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:31.120 The guy. 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:35.840 You have to have a certain length to play tackle, 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:41.080 longer arms. And I told you my story about Joe Brotsky, right, 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:45.720 I'm not sure. He was a very successful high school 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:50.880 head coach in Miami. Cowboys former running back coach has 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:55.040 passed away since and and we were talking about. 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:56.280 It one day and he goes, let me get let 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:58.840 me explain it to you. And he goes, So the 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:01.920 first day of practice high school, I got a new team. 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:04.000 He goes, we go out and we do some things, 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:07.440 and I go, Okay, that's the best athlete there. There's 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:11.040 my quarterback. The next best athlete, well, that's my running back. 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:15.080 And he goes, and then after that wide receiver, cornerback, 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:19.800 defensive end, linebackers. Okay, and then he goes. I look 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:21.840 around and look at all the other guys and go 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:26.639 the rest of you offensive lineback. 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:31.639 And there's some truth to that, right, But as you 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:34.200 develop as a player, right, I'm back to the point, 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:37.600 the satisfaction that they have as a unit. Right, as 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:40.359 a unit, they might be the closest unit on almost 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:43.159 every team, and that usually you have a lot of 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:46.280 intellect there, right, you know, So I don't know. To me, 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:50.680 if I had the build, if I had the well 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:52.280 with the I would look. 0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:55.800 That's what I wanted to do. And look at the 0:17:55.880 --> 0:18:00.000 Look at the other leagues out there, right, there's no 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:03.240 enough offensive linemen to go around to help the skill people. 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:07.200 The quarterbacks are at the mercery. Yeah, that's the that's 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:09.280 the worst part of those leagues, you know, because you've 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:12.520 got skilled people, but if you can't block for them, 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:15.280 then it kind of diminishes what they can do. 0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:18.160 Okay, And as we go to break here, I've got 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:21.800 a Joe Brodsky trivia question for you. Oh wow, okay, 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:26.960 you talked about his high school coaching Laurels in Miami. 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:30.000 Yes, okay. Can you name one of. 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:33.680 The players that he coached who would later become an 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:36.600 assistant coach for the Dallas Cowboys. 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:40.160 Coach Joe. 0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:44.760 That's right, that's right, And I forgot that part. Oh 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:50.159 get those two together. Oh my gosh, the stories that 0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:55.040 they would tell and Joe, Joe would sit there and go, yeah, okay, Joe, 0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:57.760 go ahead, go ahead, laying on you know. 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:02.640 And by the way, another little HitBit on Joe Brodsky's 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:06.879 high school career.
