It is hi noon on a Wednesday 0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:33.720 inside the SWBC podcast studio here at the Star in Frisco, 0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:38.960 Bill Jones, Everson Walls, and Mickey Spagnola. And officially it 0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:43.440 is Texans Week. Texans Week. You know what that means. 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:45.600 People and Houston are all fired up about. You know 0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:50.800 what that means State Championship Game week. Cowboys play it that. 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:54.360 You know there's gonna be about twelve state championship games 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:58.080 played next week. It at at and T Stadium. And 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:01.360 what better way to kickoff stay Championship Week then with 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:03.960 an NFL State championship game. I just want to know 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:06.920 how the hell did the Texans qualify of the state 0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:15.840 championship one. That's pretty low brew. I think we were 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:20.080 informed in McCarthy's press conference that the Cowboys are seventeen 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:23.440 point favorites. Yes, I heard that. He didn't have much 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.600 of a reaction It wasn't McCarthy who informed everybody that 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:30.600 we are seventeen. He does not, he does not want 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:34.440 that to be. He was informed. That's right. Yeah, is 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:39.800 that possible? Seventeen? It is seventeen, that's right. Have you 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:43.080 seen the Texans play? I have? Okay, somebody have you 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.080 seen the count? Did you see the Cowboys fourth quarter? 0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:48.400 The other day? Somebody asking me about it? And it's like, well, 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:51.280 let's put it this way. The Cowboys are giving up 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:55.320 an average of seventeen points a game and the Texans 0:01:55.480 --> 0:02:01.360 are averaging fifteen points a game. Fifteen, that's it. So 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:04.520 you're saying the Texans are gonna score six sixteen because 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.160 the average between the two, Yeah, we'll split. So what 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:10.639 are the Cowboys getting? Might as well make your pick 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:15.320 right now, right now. The most points the Cowboys have 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:21.840 scored in franchise history fifty nine, fifty nine. That's Can 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:25.960 you believe we're talking like this? Yeah, you watch as 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:28.720 soon as you start talking about as right as you 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:31.920 start talking like this, this is gonna be. This is 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:35.200 gonna be one of those twenty one the nineteen games 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:38.000 going to the fourth chord, just like on Sunday Night. 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.520 This is not the Cowboys talking like this. This is yeah, no, 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:47.639 the super Bowl add on purposely wore the Super Bowl. Yeah, 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:51.000 all of a sudden, Yeah, all of a sudden. Yeah, 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:55.720 that's right. Made his brain swell. Not far the mickey. 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.880 You're following through with it too, you're tagging right along. No, 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.920 I just pointed out some stats. Springs. You say, you 0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:07.679 like a big mouth bass if you can turn into 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:14.440 a big mouth ass. Oh man, So what, well, what 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.359 do they have going on? I mean, if, if, if 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:20.080 the Texans are going to do something, but they got 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:22.959 they got their quarterback back. Okay, well it was my 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:28.760 choice that they benched him, and now he's back, Davis Mills. Yeah, 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:33.200 Mills back. They've got him. Kyle Allen, I haven't got 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:35.760 the men. Yeah. God, that's tough to get benched on 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:41.800 a team like that. John McClean, the steamed writer, esteemed 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:47.640 now retired sports writer Houston Chronicle. He uh someone who 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:50.240 was interviewing him last week. He said, in his however, 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:53.200 many years forty three years or whatever, maybe fifty three 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:57.840 years of covering Houston football teams, this is the worst 0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:02.320 offense I have ever seen in my life. So well, 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:05.360 the Cowboys, you know, they have a history of handing 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.760 out treats so they might help them along a little bit. 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:15.000 And that's the challenge. That's the dangerous, But it's the challenge. Yes, 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:18.400 as you go on, can you mature? Yea? Can you 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:20.920 went to a house? How much did we learn from 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:23.800 years past, especially last year, to what we're doing now? 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.880 Did we make the same mistakes? Do we, you know, 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:32.799 show the same weaknesses in badly timed situations. Well they've 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:36.760 been over to able to overcome them in most cases 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:40.440 this year. Yes, but you gotta quit doing it, especially 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:43.719 when you play good teams. As a matter of fact, 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:47.760 So got to be watching. I think that's Nate from Frisco. Yeah, 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:53.160 already shining in. That's Nate from Frisco. Nate from Frusco says, challenge. 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:58.479 Did you say challenge? Really? I guess that's a common 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:04.000 two now he started off odale, Now what it is 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:09.480 a very good question. Elvis left the building yesterday around 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:15.960 summer around four o'clock by helicopter. By the way, whoa, 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:21.400 whoa you witnesses swooped him away. I saw it, Yeah, 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:28.000 you saw it absolutely. So let's start there, because it 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:35.159 appears just as we were talking about yesterday. That availability 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:39.479 is a pretty big component to this whole thing. That's 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:42.520 what was said at the outset of training camp, right, 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:47.800 And I believe the Cowboys came to the conclusion that 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:53.120 he was not ready to play football anytime soon. And 0:05:53.240 --> 0:06:03.479 I believe Jerry Jones pointed that out the day. He said, 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:08.320 if we sign him, it has to improve us. Now, 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:11.560 you know, that's a pretty tall order, and it has 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.960 to improve us in a way that makes sense for 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:17.800 us as we look not only this year, but as 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:21.719 it impacts the years to come. Relative to the financial 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:28.320 aspect of it. Salary cap, salary, right, A long way 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:33.200 to get to it, right. And I and from what 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:39.840 I've found out, he was nowhere close ready to play 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:43.720 in the regular season. Now I saw something say, well, 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:48.160 maybe he could have gotten back for the play season. Okay, 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:52.479 you don't play any preseason game, I mean regular season games, right. 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:56.400 That means if you're not playing, you're probably not practicing. 0:06:56.800 --> 0:07:01.480 Now you're going to practice for a playoff game, and 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:06.040 that means one week and you're gonna be ready to play. 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:09.920 He just wasn't ready to play football. As that became 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:13.480 the bottom line, and I think maybe the Cowboys would 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:19.760 have been entertaining next year maybe, okay, uh, you know, 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:23.480 and I think we talked about it. I think it's like, okay, 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:25.320 do you want to you want to get signed to 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:29.800 the practice squad and then you know, you'll get your 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:33.600 little bit, yeah, and see where you're at. And I 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:36.440 would imagine we would help you ourselves. You could develop it. 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:38.960 And this is just me, but I would imagine his 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:43.200 ego would not have allowed that. Uh. And again here's 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:46.119 the other thing that I don't think anybody thought about. 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:51.240 So when you're a free agent, you're not rehabbing with 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:54.800 the rams, right, you're rehabbing on your own. And we 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:58.120 know about rehabbing on your own as it compared to 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:03.400 working out there without Brown. Right, Yeah, where are you at? 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:05.840 And how long is it taken? Because we see the 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:10.000 guys that work with Britt tearing an acl Michael Gallup, 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:14.520 it's gonna be nine or ten months. Right. I think 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:18.640 he feels like he's ready, He feels like that, But 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:22.080 the facts are the facts. Okay. The image is gonna 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:24.920 show what the image shows. And even though he might 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.480 feel like he can play and he's you know, feeling 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:29.800 pretty good about it, we've already dealt with this with 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.400 Michael Gallup. As you said, we know what that looks like. 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:37.439 And if we we babied as we should, we baby 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:40.679 Michael Michael Gallup along so that he could be ready 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:43.400 right now, perfect time. We did it just the way 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:45.640 it was supposed to be done. We don't have time 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:47.680 for that for LB. And plus he's not even OBJ, 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:50.679 he's not even on that squad yet, right, So you know, 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:54.520 I still think you can find with all the trainers 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:57.240 and the expertise out there, I still think he can 0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:01.160 find good trainers that probably has worked with good trainers 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:03.920 up to this point. That still doesn't make him heal 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:06.480 any fast, right, And that's the bottom line. And one 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.520 and there's and here's another difference between Michael Gallup and 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:13.760 Odell Beckham's junior. It's four years difference. Four years. Michael 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:16.800 Gallup is a four year younger player and doesn't have 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:20.640 as much textra surgery that goes with that with Beckham. 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:25.719 This is second surgeon. Look around beck Gallas on the head. 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:28.199 One look around the NFL and the breaking news right 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:32.920 now in the NFL Von Miller Von Miller just underwent 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:37.000 surgery and it turns out an ACL and you go 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:39.640 back to this offseason and von Miller wanted to be 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:42.680 a Dallas Cowboy, and there was conversations between the Cowboys 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.720 and von Miller. Well, here's a thirty three year old player. 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:49.640 He just was paid like one hundred twenty one hundred 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:53.400 what was it or something? Well, it was one hundred 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:57.360 twenty package. I thought something like that. Yeah, yeah, And 0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:01.160 and then that's another one where okay, they initially said, no, 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:03.960 he didn't tear his ACL, he's got a chance, and 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.320 it's like, no, he tore his a cl You know. 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:11.840 It was like the thing with Garoppolo. Now, this always 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:14.160 bugs me, and I did some research and I didn't 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:17.720 get to the bottom of it. It said, you know, 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:20.280 he's not out for the if he might make it 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:23.160 back from the playoffs because he didn't break his list. 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:26.880 Franc right, didn't? I said, so, okay, what did he break? Well, 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:30.000 he broke his foot, No, he didn't break his foot. 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:33.520 His foot still there, right, what bone did he break? 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:36.839 And I could not find it out, but it kept saying, well, 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.240 at least he didn't break his list, franc Okay, what 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:43.200 if he broke his fifth meta tarsa? Right? The Jones fracture. Yeah, 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:46.400 that's nine weeks, ten weeks, and that's the rest of 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:49.480 the season. Yeah. I think that they are being very 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:52.760 koy right now with Garoppolo. I don't think they want 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:55.839 anyone to know exactly what's going on. Yeah, because right 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:58.720 now this is a delicate situation. Yeah, they're making moves 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.280 in San Francisco, and of course they're trying to keep 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:04.200 up with us because the defense is just so. Do 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:07.680 you think the Rams claimed to keep him from going 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.719 to San Francisco, not not that they're gonna make the playoffs, 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:14.240 but just so San Francisco doesn't have the joy. Yeah, 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:20.520 like like Baker Mayfield's gonna lead him to the Baker 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:25.199 is supposed to start for the Rams Thursday. No, seriously, seriously, Yeah, seriously, 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:28.040 they're talking. They're talking about they got a Thursday game 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:31.199 tomorrow against the Raiders, and they're talking about Baker Mayfield's 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:37.439 gonna start. Ryce Perkins, Don Perkins, Nephew, they're already but 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:42.520 cannon them. Come on, Jackson, let's get back to Odell's 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:47.160 real again. Yeah. Um, he just wasn't ready to play 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:50.520 and there's no sense signing them right. Um. You know, 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:52.840 somebody point out well they got six point three million 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:55.840 against still in the salary cap. It's like okay, but 0:11:55.880 --> 0:12:02.080 you're not gonna just wander it, right, and so so 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:06.960 I think how we were analyzing this, we were right on. Yeah. 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:09.400 It was like, yeah, he's got to prove that he 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:12.640 can work out and do something. I don't think he 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:16.240 did it. The health was the most important, right thing 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:19.840 that was getting checked out. Yeah, he should be careful, 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:24.199 as as Odell Beckham himself should be careful because if 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:26.920 you go out there now, let's say he would have signed, 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:31.400 thing happens, Yeah, and then right because you're not ready 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:34.320 to you're not a cl might be fine, but you're 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:36.560 not fine. You know how we talked about that earlier. 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:40.679 Things around it are affected, Yes, okay, just as that 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.520 damage is there, but that it permeates out with like 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:46.440 you know, like a spider web or something. It's gonna 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:48.679 if there are other things that are going on, not 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:52.000 just your ACL there other things around that. Because the 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:54.560 human body is so intricate that, yeah, you're gonna have 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:57.640 to deal with some other damn achilles. Popular when you're 0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:00.280 not ready, you just don't know, you gotta. Yeah, So 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:02.559 anyway we might have saved him right in his own 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:04.520 in his own best interest. He needs to be ready 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:08.600 to go because he thinks he's going around he's not ready. 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:11.320 If he's not ready to play, if that X ray 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:15.520 doesn't show to show, we'll think about the about your livelihood. 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:18.600 If you're not ready to practice. How long he's gonna 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:21.000 have to do that to be ready to play? You know, 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:24.120 Michael Gallup was least out there before they started his 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:27.320 twenty one day deal. He was out there rehabbing, running, 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:30.320 doing all this stuff. And you know, if you're not 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:32.160 willing to go out and show I can do this, 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:35.839 then how much further are you? You know? And he 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:39.720 has to know and he should. He should. This may 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:42.120 and who knows what the other teams might do, right, 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:45.400 but he should do himself a faith yes, and make 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:48.679 sure when he goes and work out for somebody ready, 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:53.040 then you're ready. And then you came out. Now he's 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:55.319 not ready. Yeah, he has to know he's not ready. 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:59.160 But let's see, let's see how desperate these teams are. Well, 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:01.280 you know I had nothing else to do. Man, we 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:03.280 can go party, you know what I mean? And we'n 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:04.920 gonna talk to people out to talk to the media 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.520 and everything, but he knows he's not ready. And think 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:09.480 about when you work out on your own, not on 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:13.079 your own. I'm sure he has somebody very qualified, right, 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:16.640 but those people it's like, you know, I don't feel 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:19.720 like doing this this morning. You call in any canceled right, 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:23.560 you ain't canceling on Brown. See here's the other thing 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:26.400 where it benefits him as far as free agency goes. 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:29.280 By getting these visits done, now is he you know, 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:31.680 he's going to have a jump start on everybody in 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:34.720 free agency because he's already a free agent. He didn't 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.720 have to wait until March fifteenth or whatever it is, 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:41.400 so he will be signed before the free agent period. 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:45.080 He's pivoting right now and saying, you know what, let 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:48.000 me just relax. And he didn't look despondent when I 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:50.680 saw him getting ready to get on the helicopter. Want 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:54.840 to have a good time. They were taking selfies. And 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:58.280 he's established a relationship with these teams, the Cowboys, the 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:01.880 Bills and the Giants, and now you know, and you know, 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:04.320 a month from now, if one of these teams as 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:07.480 an injury, then you know, and there and they become 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:12.040 desperate then and he's ready to go. He got for bid, 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:14.400 that could be us and as a as a street 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:17.520 free agent, somebody could sign him as a future You 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:20.320 got his rights, but you know, he doesn't count on 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:25.120 your salary cap just yet until March whatever fifteenth. This 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:28.240 is a long time that he's been, Yeah, going through 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:31.920 this a long time. Does age have something to do 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:37.320 with it? Wasn't extremely unique injury within I don't know. Yeah, 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:40.080 as far as acls go, it could be. Yeah, I 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:42.600 don't know, but yeah, the fact that he's not how 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:44.600 long it has been ten months sin since the super 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:49.160 Bowl February. Middle of February super Bowl was I can 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:53.680 count on my fingers if you right, we got good Okay, 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:55.760 but you do at this point you count backwards. You 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:58.360 don't go for you like februaries too much from that 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:05.120 so that you can go out there, will go with God. 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:10.200 But now it's it's uh something that we may have 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:13.400 whoever was gonna check first, I'm gonna give us two. 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:17.640 He had to know. He had to know that something's wrong. 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:20.160 If he's out there running around and that X ray 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:23.000 shows it's not quite right. I know he can feel 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:26.440 whatever the Cowboys saw. I know he can feel that 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:30.000 when he works out and on top of it. So 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:33.840 somebody said, well, how about doing it for next year? Well, okay, 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:37.640 but I gotta see first, right, gotta see. But if 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:41.120 you look at the Cowboys next year unrestricted free agents, 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:44.760 So I just wrote them all down, you can choose. 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:48.120 You're talking every position, yeah, for the Cowboys. So Cooper 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:55.800 Rush is unrestricted, Tony Pollard, Noah Brown, James Washington, Dalton Schultz, 0:16:55.880 --> 0:17:06.600 Connor McGovern, Jason Peters, Gallimore, Hankins, Watkins, bar Giffers, Layton Vanderish, 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:12.680 Anthony Brown, Goodwin, and Donovan Wilson with sixteen. With Lamb 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:20.320 entering his fourth year, they'll they'll say that they'll pick 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:23.080 up his fifth year option, which is pretty high. Right, 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:26.439 So you've got some things that you got to worry about. 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:30.320 And as I wrote down after that, with Parsons and 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:35.359 Digs not far behind. So that's like six starters on 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:39.280 the depth chart right now that you unrestricted for you. 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:45.560 Whin's the decision to be made on Zeke? I'm not 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:51.679 sure if there is a decision on his base salary, 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:55.639 but they've already they would already incur like ten million 0:17:55.720 --> 0:17:59.400 in dead money if they moved on so you can say, oh, yeah, 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:02.520 well we're we're moving on from Zeke. Well, okay, are 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:04.760 you going to give that money to Tony Pollard? And 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:07.480 you think he can handle twenty five snaps a game, 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:12.159 I mean twenty five caches a game. Touches? You want to? 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:15.720 You want to? You know when when the running back 0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:18.440 coach said after that one game and he tapped out 0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:23.200 at fourteen and carries, you can see it, right, you could. Yeah, 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:27.280 it wasn't like a secret. He basically was like, Okay, 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:29.600 it's time for me to go to the sideline. You 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:32.040 may want to think about Diggs before you think about 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:36.280 Lamb this offseason, because Lamb you got that fifth year 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:42.879 off and he's in the same draftings to his last year. 0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:46.960 So yeah, so because after the last year, you're gonna 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:49.600 be like, oh, yeah, how much you want now? And 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:51.840 those guys don't want to play the last year of 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:57.360 their contract, right, Parsons will be addressed after next year, yeah, correct, 0:18:57.480 --> 0:19:00.280 after his third year. Yeah, even though this is under 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:03.479 control for two more years, because you would you can 0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:07.280 spread out and then lessen the impact of that fifty 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:11.080 year picking up the fifty year option. So anyway, Yeah, 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:14.880 so I just don't think this is surprising that this 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:17.960 is how it turned out. Okay, when we continue here 0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:20.760 on mix shots, we'll talk about a wide receiver who 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:25.200 is coming back soon in just a moment.

Sounds like Tyran Smith is out on 0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:17.240 the practice field today for the first time, opening his 0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:19.879 twenty one day window. I think they were supposed to 0:22:19.920 --> 0:22:23.520 start at twelve fifteen today or twelve oh five. One 0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:26.200 day was twelve oh five and one day was twelve fifty. 0:22:26.280 --> 0:22:30.959 It is a misty, kind of drizzly day here today, 0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:34.440 so not a good day out outside. Yeah, not at all. 0:22:34.560 --> 0:22:38.280 But at least Tyrant's back practicing. And you know, ay, 0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:43.639 as Mike McCarthy said, anytime you hear Tyrant Smith's on 0:22:43.680 --> 0:22:46.120 the practice field, that's a good thing for this team. 0:22:46.840 --> 0:22:50.679 What is the timeline? How we left? Today's December seventh, 0:22:50.920 --> 0:22:53.720 and so twenty one days takes you to December twenty eighth. 0:22:54.320 --> 0:22:58.439 He said he wanted to he wanted to see him 0:22:58.520 --> 0:23:01.560 in a couple padded practice. This is okay. There's no 0:23:01.760 --> 0:23:04.480 padded practices this week, of course, and then you only 0:23:04.600 --> 0:23:12.320 get one a week. You don't want to, so you 0:23:12.400 --> 0:23:16.359 don't have to. You don't have to be regretful, you know, 0:23:18.960 --> 0:23:24.000 I'm jealous. Can it be? Can you apply that individually 0:23:24.080 --> 0:23:26.159 to a player? Like if Tyrant hasn't been in a 0:23:26.200 --> 0:23:30.280 padded practice, said, he could go ahead and if he wanted, 0:23:30.359 --> 0:23:32.880 he could have pads, and by everybody else's in, he's 0:23:32.920 --> 0:23:38.119 the only one out there built up. Now he's rehabbed 0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:41.600 in pads. I think that's that's allowed. Okay, okay, good, 0:23:41.960 --> 0:23:44.840 So he has just think about it. So say say 0:23:44.960 --> 0:23:47.040 next week they have one padded and then it's a 0:23:47.119 --> 0:23:50.200 short week to Christmas Eve and you get one pad, 0:23:50.480 --> 0:23:53.000 maybe one padded. It's a short week. Maybe you're not 0:23:53.680 --> 0:24:00.159 so yeah, I think it's after Christmas, No Philadelphia. I 0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:02.960 guess it depends on what he would have. He would 0:24:03.000 --> 0:24:07.640 have a second padded practice, probably before Christmas Eve. If so, yeah, 0:24:07.680 --> 0:24:10.520 if you're gonna stand by that, right, yeah, then it's 0:24:10.520 --> 0:24:13.320 another short way to Tennessee. I'm not comfortable with this. 0:24:14.240 --> 0:24:16.680 You don't think they should, but they will have to 0:24:16.800 --> 0:24:19.080 activate him by the Tennessee game because the twenty one 0:24:19.160 --> 0:24:23.240 day window is up right right, I'm very worried about 0:24:23.359 --> 0:24:26.480 him and his health. Like how hitting him back out there? 0:24:26.560 --> 0:24:30.159 Getting back out there, that's a huge man, Dude. I 0:24:30.280 --> 0:24:33.600 went to some uh we want the crews or something 0:24:33.640 --> 0:24:36.240 I would with hitting some of the guys, and I 0:24:36.320 --> 0:24:38.119 sat next to Time Round. I think I've said on 0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:40.440 the air, this guy is huge. I mean it's like 0:24:41.040 --> 0:24:43.480 his bice up has been on a waistline, like, oh 0:24:43.520 --> 0:24:46.359 my gosh. I just couldn't get over how big he was. 0:24:46.440 --> 0:24:48.280 So you know what he reminds it's a lot. That's 0:24:48.320 --> 0:24:51.480 a lot to bring, you know, to the table to balance. 0:24:51.520 --> 0:24:55.480 There's a lot too for your hamstring that you that's tough. Man. 0:24:55.560 --> 0:24:59.840 I am. I'm not gonna lie. I I am pessing 0:25:00.080 --> 0:25:03.359 stick about his chances. You know what I tell And 0:25:03.520 --> 0:25:05.439 stop me if I said this here, because I remember 0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:08.639 saying somewhere that you know how they start the Fox 0:25:08.840 --> 0:25:12.600 pregame show with that big looking yeah Robot, that's what 0:25:12.760 --> 0:25:16.600 he looks like, right, No doubt, man, he's amazing. He's 0:25:16.920 --> 0:25:19.960 just I mean, the guy's got he's all Pro first 0:25:20.080 --> 0:25:21.720
