Hello, Mickey, I'm good. 0:00:57.200 --> 0:01:02.400 How are you? I'm doing is fine. Everson Walls is 0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:05.480 in his usual spot with his picture behind him and 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:11.199 the SWBC Mortgage Everson Walls Studio, and he's got Cowboys 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:14.880 gear on as well as he is Winning time Baby, 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:19.319 winning time. There you go. It's his winning time Cowboys gear. 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:23.679 And Jerry wonders why you didn't start wearing that the 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:28.360 first week of the season. You're on mix shots. First 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:31.760 of all, let me say I have a complaint. Oh no, 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:39.720 there's mick shots and there's mix shots. Mick shots is alcohol. 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:45.400 Mix shots is a show. So you know there's a 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:48.680 they need to announce it mix shots, not mix shots, 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:51.000 because I can make up some mix shots right here. 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:53.440 I got I got stuff to make up mix shots. 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:57.800 But you know, we need to clarify the mix shots. 0:01:57.800 --> 0:01:59.920 What I mean, he's going for us. See now you 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:02.800 would be and there are really big time if you 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:06.840 had Mickey's beer, if you remember that, oh yeah, yeah, 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:10.400 that's old school. Oh my god, how old school is that? 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:13.000 I don't even make that anymore. The bottles were wide mouth, 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:17.440 and it was just the most disgusting ever ever they were. 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:19.960 It was green. Didn't have a green bottle of something. 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:23.000 I have a bottle too bad that I know about 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:29.079 that stuff. And there are some who are wondering if 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:32.360 Everson has already imbibed in some of that mick shot. 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:39.919 All right, I got my OU gear on, I see it, Okay, 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:43.600 I'm only I decided to go with my National Championship 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:47.840 camp as it is what we call OU Texas Weekend, 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:51.919 what Derek Eagleton calls Texas OU Weekend. And it's been 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:55.840 twenty years this this camp is twenty years old. It's 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:58.120 been twenty years since we had a team good enough 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:01.640 to win a national championship. And but this is always 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:03.880 my favorite week end of the year. However, it's so 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.680 different this year. There's only gonna be twenty five thousand 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:11.440 fans all wearing masks, hopefully at the Cotton Bowl at 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:16.040 eleven am tomorrow in Texas has its best shot in 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:19.680 a while to beat an unranked Oklahoma team tomorrow. But 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:24.480 we got Bill, something was missing, something was missing. You 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.640 didn't have us warm up the field for you from 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:30.560 the swat. Usually you have the Grambling prayer to train 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:35.920 Southwest Classic didn't have it this year. It's gonna be 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:39.040 a little incomplete. You know, you guys fed off of 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:42.240 that at ou Texas. It's gonna be a little a 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:44.800 lot more missing than what you just mentioned, a whole 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:47.560 lot more missing. Now try it. There's no stake fair, 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:53.520 there's no Grambling, Prairie View Games. Nothing. And I did 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:59.360 have my press pass fedexed. It was on my doorstep 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:01.960 this morning. And I don't think I'm gonna go. I 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:03.920 just don't. I don't know. That's a good mom that's 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:05.680 a good moment, Bill, that's a good moment. I mean, 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:09.600 it doesn't even feel like anyway you Texas does it? No, 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:14.160 not at all. Okay, you had a bunch of a Well, 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:16.800 that's wait till tonight. We'll see how many arrests they 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:20.120 have in the streets downtown, and then we'll go from there. 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:22.920 I have one question and we'll move on. I want 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:26.560 to know, Bill, when you grew up, either in high 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:30.120 school or in college, what I have found you going 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:36.479 down Main Street, cavorting till midnight at night, uh, drinking 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:41.160 and screen That is a story, Mickey, that is a 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:43.480 story I forgot to tell you ahead of time. Do 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:46.560 not mention that on the air. I didn't know about 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:53.320 Commerce Street, especially my freshman year in college. Okay, I'll 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:55.359 just leave it at that. That's a story that I 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.840 don't want my daughters to learn about. I think that 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.680 I think I know the story. So you're good, all right, 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:04.760 fair enough, fair enough. I will say this. I will 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.680 say this, and this will get us into the Cowboys 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:12.200 because there's so many fans out there who and I've 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.360 been a Cowboys fan since the day I was when ever, 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:17.400 since you were growing up in Hamilton Park, you were 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:21.039 a Cowboys fan forever? Right, okay, right down the street. 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:26.320 It's just something about your football team and sports in 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:30.680 general that it unites a family, units, a community, and 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:33.799 so forth. And that's what that's what I love about 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:38.279 this Texas Ou or OU Texas Weekend. It's it's it's 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:41.680 a rivalry, yes, but it's the Texas fan. It is 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:44.920 the one weekend Texas football fans point two every year, 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:49.000 Oklahoma football fans point two every year Cowboys fans point 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:52.440 to every Sunday during an NFL season. And I guess 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:56.400 got one little personal story to tell you about the 0:05:56.480 --> 0:06:00.839 Oklahoma Texas. My dad grew up in Oklahoma Keemo, Oklahoma, 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:04.599 or just down the road from Troy Aikman's hometown of Henriette, Oklahoma, 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.080 and so as huge Ou fan. That's how I became 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:11.400 an Ou fan. My last memory of my father in 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:16.320 two thousand and three was an OU Texas Weekend. OU won. 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:18.480 They happened to win the game sixty five to thirteen 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:20.599 over Vince Young in Texas Heyere. But we went to 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.680 Humperdinks after the game and he and he was I 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:27.400 knew he was in his final days. Whatever. The last 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:30.800 words I heard my father say as we left the 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:34.840 restaurant that night was I just hate me I just 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:37.880 had me a longhorn steak. He passed away a week 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:41.800 or so later, and but anyway, it's those kinds of 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:46.440 memories that makes sports special when your family and your 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:50.039 your friends, and yeah, anyway, that's I just passed that 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:53.720 along to start things off with good stuff stuff. You know. 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:56.640 I think Texas as a great opportunity to win the 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:59.000 game this year. But it's it's more than that. It's 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:02.360 more about who wins loses the game. That's what sports. 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:04.919 Sports brings us together, and I think we appreciate it 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:10.560 even more here on the during this pandemic without having 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.560 sports over the last six months. All right, I agree. 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:15.720 All right, Now let's get to the news of the day, 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:19.640 and it is huge news because as we as we 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:23.120 told you yesterday during Mick shots, things were going on 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:26.280 with Tyrn Smith as that's when reports start first started 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:29.520 surfacing that he was getting a second opinion on his neck. 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:33.640 And sure enough he has decided to have a season 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.640 ending a surgery. And so Mickey phillis in on what 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:40.320 you know about it. Well, I don't know this officially, 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:44.520 but since it had been called a pinched nerve, the 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:46.800 only thing that pinches a nerve in your neck off 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:50.440 if you have a bulging disc. And I would imagine 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:54.400 he's having similar surgery to what Layton vander esh had 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:58.640 and I don't want to and I remember back when 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:02.840 he had his people were he had minor neck surgery. 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:06.520 Nothing minor about having surgery on your neck, right, because 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:10.320 they're doing something close to your vertebrate, which is close 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:14.560 to your spinal cord. So uh, yeah, it sounds like 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:19.200 they tried to do everything they could, and normally that's 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:23.320 what happens. Surgery is always the last resort, and it 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:27.480 looked like that this couldn't be corrected unless they had surgery. 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:32.000 Mike McCarthy sort of made that announcement this morning and 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:37.160 then but he said it's correctable, and you got the 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:41.640 feeling that this isn't a career threatening surgery. It's something 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:45.959 to relieve the pressure he was having on his spinal cord. 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:51.240 So you know, you hope it's successful and that you know, 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:56.360 you it seems like Tyrant Smith has been here forever, right, 0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:59.920 He's in his tenth year, but he's only twenty nine. 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:04.800 He turns thirty in December, and so you know he's 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.480 got years ahead of them, and this will be the 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:12.120 longest span of games he misses, because normally it's been 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:15.679 minus three in each of the last I think three 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:18.719 or four years. But he's always come back and think 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:23.800 about this somehow, some way. He played eighty two snaps 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:27.760 on Sunday, and this thing didn't go away, right, It 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:31.520 didn't just go away, but I would imagine playing that 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:36.000 many snaps, And as we talked about giving Olivier Vernon 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:39.920 hell for eighty two snaps, it flared up in the 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:43.800 week and they decided, and he decided, this is what 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:47.800 has to happen. So the Cowboys go into this game 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:55.840 without their two starting offensive tackles, without their two starting centers. 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.680 If we go back to March when Travis Frederick or 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:01.559 April when he and now that he was going to retire, 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:06.000 and Joe Looney is still out, and on top of that, 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:11.600 their guy that they considered their third offensive tackle, Cam Irving, 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:15.400 just gets back into a little bit of practice this week. 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:17.600 I don't know that he's ready to go, even in 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:21.760 a reserve role. So we can spend half this show 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:25.160 trying to figure out exactly what they're gonna do that 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:30.040 neither Mike McCarthy nor Jerry Jones wanted to reveal on 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:33.080 how they're going to handle the offensive tackle position and 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:36.240 how they're going to handle the backup center position. So 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:39.720 we can throw out our ideas and none of them 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:43.520 will be like absolutely wrong until probably we know for 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:58.760 sure on Sunday. I don't think Bill we go here, Everson, 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:04.280 I guess we've lost Everson on a live transmission from 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:10.960 the s WBC Mortgage Everson Walls Studio. So Mickey, yeah, 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:14.000 I think to echo what I think Everson was about 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:16.640 to say. It shows you how valuable the Tyrant Smith 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:19.360 has been to this team through the years. And really 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:25.720 it's a team is fortunate when it's able to keep 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.800 their offensive line intact. I think if you go through 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:33.240 through all the rosters, all the depth charts across the 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:37.720 National Football League, and the teams that have healthy offensive 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:42.520 lines are typically the teams that are doing well right now. Okay, 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:44.920 now there is a team in Philadelphia that has as 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:48.400 many offensive line injury issues as the Cowboys have, and 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:50.800 they're sitting there, I guess technically in first place to 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:53.560 the NFCES, and I guess the good news for the 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:56.560 Cowboys is they're also playing a team on Sunday, the 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:59.360 Giants that had their left tackle opt out, and so 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:04.600 they've got some weakness at the tackle position themselves. And 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:07.400 so but I think we got Everson back now. So Everson, 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:10.240 go ahead and tell us what you were saying before 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:14.280 before I have my phone starts screwing up again. I 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:18.040 just say that I think Tyron has been the best 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:21.319 offensive lineman on this team for the past ten years. 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:27.000 I've heard people say things about how smart Zach Martin is, 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:31.280 about Fredericks and all of these players that we brought in. 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:35.000 Because we brought in a host of studs on our 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:38.959 offensive line, which really made us. It's caused a culture 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:42.839 in Dallas because of those three guys that I just named. 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:46.560 But to me, Tyron was always the most important, the 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.680 best athlete, and I think the most critical to this 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:52.840 offensive line. Whenever he's out, we just don't do well. 0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:55.160 That's just the way it is. And those other guys 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:57.079 can miss it. We can kind of cover up for them, 0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:59.480 but you have to be very athletic to be on 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:05.439 that left end, especially the blind side of the quarterback. 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:09.720 So having him have Das back all this time I 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:14.600 think has been amazing, and we've been fortunate as Cowboy 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:17.880 fans to have that luxury. It's almost like another ray 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:21.320 Field Right for Roger starback. Rayfield Right rarely gave up 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:24.800 sacks to Roger. And as far as Tyron Smith is concerned, 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:28.040 compared to all other tackles that have come along in 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:30.760 the last ten years, to me, he's been the best 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.480 and the best offensive mine and the Cowboys I've ever had. 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.520 I hope he comes back. Well, I hope this injury 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:38.880 is just like vander Eschs to wait and come back. 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:42.680 But otherwise, you heard me talk yesterday about how concerned 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:45.280 I am just about his well being as a person, 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:48.520 and that still stands as well, you know, ever since 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:51.560 he might have been the best offensive lineman in the league, 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:55.240 not just with the Cowboys. I would love to put 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:59.160 Olivier Vernon on a life detector tests and ask him, Okay, 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:04.640 how was Tyran Smith this past Sunday? But yeah, he's been. 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:09.640 And that's why because he might lie about it, you know, 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:13.160 and say, wow, he's okay. I want him to tell 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:17.600 the truth, but you know, and so to maybe put 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:22.160 this all in proper perspective. Uh, this morning, when Jerry 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:25.360 was doing his segment on one oh five three the fan, 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:28.920 they asked him about his his biggest concerns, and the 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:32.800 Cowboys have enough concerns going into this game, and he goes, 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:36.680 of all the concerns I have, it's the offensive line. 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:39.680 And ain't that the truth? Because if your offensive line 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:43.840 ain't functioning as an offense, you're not functioning. And that 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:46.800 offense has been the Cowboys bread and butter. Even though 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.840 they're one in three, it's at least kept them in 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:54.000 every game uh they played. And now if that offensive 0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:58.680 line can't function because the offensive line, offensive can't function 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:02.560 because of the offense line, boy, this team's gonna be 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:05.920 hard pressed to rely on a defense that hasn't been 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:12.480 reliable in the last three weeks. You know, think back 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:15.560 to the draft when Tyron Smith came out. He was 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:18.720 the eighth pick in the draft out of USC in 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:21.880 two thousand and eleven. Who is the next pick after 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:29.360 Tyron Smith? It was? It was J. J. Watt Ah 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:32.960 And this is how this is how highly I think 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:36.240 of Tyrn Smith. J. J. Watt has been an NFL 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:38.800 Defensive Player of the Year three times in his career. 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:41.840 If I had that pick to do over for the 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:45.280 Cowboys in twenty eleven. I'd still take Tyron Smith ahead 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:47.760 of JJ Watt. I think that's how important he has 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:50.880 been to the to this Cowboys franchise the last decade, 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:55.359 and not just important from the position he plays, important 0:15:55.680 --> 0:16:00.960 from the fact that this offense of line was a 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:06.320 mess at that time, and Jason Garrett basically put his 0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:09.600 hand down, put his fist down, and said, we've got 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:13.560 to rebuild this offensive line. We can't do anything we 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:17.480 can't protect Tony Romo. Doesn't matter what running back we 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:20.840 have if we can't protect the offensive line. And he 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:24.160 was the first building block of this offensive line. And 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:27.320 I could remember what the Cowboys were playing with back then, 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:32.720 at center and at guard and on running plays, running plays, 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:36.320 they were getting their guards and centers pushed back into 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:40.120 them two or three yards, not pass protection, running plays, right, 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:46.720 you know, God blessed Phil Costa, you know, but you 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:49.000 know what I mean. And they were they were bringing 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:53.240 remember they were bringing guys in and and then next 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:57.240 week another guy would start at guard and oh it 0:16:57.320 --> 0:16:59.880 was a mess. And that's why they made a concertative 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:05.000 after him, Travis Frederick, after him, Zach Martin, And look 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:08.800 how that line flourished. Uh, you know, in the coming years, 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:12.879 took a chance on Mark Colombo coming back from his injuries, 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:17.120 and they had an offensive line, and that's why this 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:21.840 team's offense had success. It wasn't just the skilled players. 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:28.240 That offensive line caused this. And now you're sitting here going, oh, 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:32.400 you're gritting your teeth and we're gonna tease what they're 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:38.879 gonna do next. Mickey, let me clarify the Tyring was 0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:43.480 the ninth nick that it was only one spot. Yeah, 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:47.080 he was alight, but I need to clarify further. JJ 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:51.440 Watt was not picked right after Tyring. He was picked eleventh. 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:55.199 There was one player picked in between Tyring Smith and 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:58.800 JJ Watt and Mickey, you should know who this player was. 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:02.240 At number ten in the draft that year in twenty eleven, 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:09.280 you got that quarterback, a quarterback from Missouri, Blaine gab Gabber. Yes, 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:15.320 so so I actually, okay, here's how about this. The 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:20.240 number seven pick in that draft was Aldon Smith to 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:24.520 San Francisco. The eighth pick was Jake Locker to Tennessee. 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:27.960 The ninth pick was Tyring Smith to Dallas. The tenth 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:30.920 pick was Blaine Gabber to Jacksonville. On the eleventh pick 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:34.480 was JJ Watt to Houston. So there you go. Blaine 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:40.040 still backing up somewhere, isn't he? It's something like that. 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:48.760 White quarterbacks. White quarterbacks are always backing up somebody, I'm sure. 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:53.639 And who was the number one clipboard somewhere? All right? 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:56.920 And the number one pick that year was Cam Newton 0:18:56.960 --> 0:19:01.439 to the Carolina as bottled by von Miller to Denver, 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:07.880 Mark Selderis to Buffalo. AJ Green fourth to Cincinnati, Patrick 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:13.520 Peterson fifth to Arizona, Julio Jones sixth to Atlanta. Wow, 0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:17.639 I want a draft that one? All right? We continue 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:22.000 with more mix shots in just a moment. Hey, they're 0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:25.800 cowboys fans.

I was wondering 0:22:06.040 --> 0:22:12.040 if the shop was before Dallas Cowboys it was double 0:22:12.320 --> 0:22:18.080 or I think actually I think maybe you it's supposed 0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:22.399 to say or shop Dallas Cowboys dot Com. Yeah, or 0:22:22.480 --> 0:22:25.800 at right at Dallas Cowboys do. Yeah, yeah, there you go. 0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:28.879 All right. I never thought i'd missed the Jack Black 0:22:29.080 --> 0:22:35.400 used by used by Jack Black this morning too, by 0:22:35.440 --> 0:22:40.320 the way, all right, very good, All right, Mickey. What 0:22:40.400 --> 0:22:43.240 else do you know injury wise for those big match 0:22:43.359 --> 0:22:45.639 up with the Owen four Giants? Yeah, I don't know 0:22:45.680 --> 0:22:50.080 if anything else really matters. It sounded like uh Dorence 0:22:50.200 --> 0:22:57.400 Armstrong and uh Tyrone Crawford moved into a limited situation yesterday, 0:22:57.960 --> 0:23:01.280 So it looks like Mike McCarthy said he felt good 0:23:01.320 --> 0:23:06.080 about their potential to play on Sunday, So that's a 0:23:06.119 --> 0:23:09.080 good thing. And then we'll see what happens to the 0:23:09.119 --> 0:23:13.360 guys that are on injured reserve still but started their 0:23:13.440 --> 0:23:17.280 twenty one day deal. It looks like Anthony Brown should 0:23:17.320 --> 0:23:21.040 be ready to go on Sunday, which you'll give them 0:23:21.119 --> 0:23:26.600 another starting quality cornerback. We'll see about cam Fleming, I 0:23:26.640 --> 0:23:30.400 mean cam Irving. Cam Fleming will be starting for the Giants. 0:23:30.480 --> 0:23:33.240 Cam Irving, I'm not sure how much he's been able 0:23:33.280 --> 0:23:35.920 to do in practice. And they didn't have to give 0:23:36.040 --> 0:23:39.560 injury reports on those guys since they're not on the 0:23:39.640 --> 0:23:44.080 roster yet. So other than that DeMarcus Lawrence has practiced 0:23:44.080 --> 0:23:47.240 both days. I know the knee still bothering him, but 0:23:47.320 --> 0:23:49.800 at least he got out there in practice. So that's 0:23:49.840 --> 0:23:54.159 a that's a really good sign. And they just gotta 0:23:54.320 --> 0:23:59.960 kind of cross their fingers until next Sunday. Chitabewooz's eligible 0:24:00.080 --> 0:24:06.080 to come off of injured reserve. Okay, let me throw 0:24:06.119 --> 0:24:08.840 this out at you. What do you think, Jason Garrett, 0:24:08.880 --> 0:24:11.960 the Giants offensive coordinator, what do you think his game 0:24:12.000 --> 0:24:16.560 plan will be against this Cowboys defense? Run the ball. 0:24:19.560 --> 0:24:24.960 I you know DeVante Freeman, he last week was kind 0:24:24.960 --> 0:24:27.480 of a warm up game for him. They just signed him. 0:24:28.440 --> 0:24:31.080 I bet they feed him and they're gonna see if 0:24:31.119 --> 0:24:35.080 the Cowboys have fixed their problems on that defensive front 0:24:35.080 --> 0:24:40.000 to run the ball. So yeah, and I think if 0:24:40.000 --> 0:24:42.720 they can do it a little bit, then he'll take 0:24:42.760 --> 0:24:47.560 shots down the field, big shots down the field, because 0:24:48.000 --> 0:24:51.600 those are to me, for a young quarterback, those are 0:24:51.640 --> 0:24:54.080 the easiest balls to throw, right and if it goes 0:24:54.119 --> 0:24:57.120 wrong and it's an interception, at least you've thrown at 0:24:57.160 --> 0:25:01.560 thirty thirty yards, forty yards or whatever, and you know, 0:25:01.960 --> 0:25:04.560 assuming you can make a tackle, it doesn't hurt you 0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:07.639 that bad. The passes that rookies have trouble with is 0:25:07.640 --> 0:25:10.919 throwing the ball over the middle where there's traffic, or 0:25:11.080 --> 0:25:14.960 throwing that out quick enough and that you've got a 0:25:15.000 --> 0:25:18.440 strong enough arm to throw a seventeen yard out. Those 0:25:18.480 --> 0:25:22.119 are the problems rookie quarterbacks or young quarterbacks normally have. 0:25:22.400 --> 0:25:25.960 So I think he follows that he'll use two tight ends. 0:25:26.520 --> 0:25:29.520 If he's got a full bass and he does have 0:25:29.560 --> 0:25:33.520 one Eli Penny, he's gonna come heavy and come at 0:25:33.520 --> 0:25:35.880 the Cowboys and and that would be a way for 0:25:36.000 --> 0:25:39.920 him to shorten the game. Try to take time off 0:25:39.920 --> 0:25:43.160 the clock so the Cowboys offense doesn't get on the field. Now, 0:25:43.520 --> 0:25:46.400 if the Cowboys are having problems with whatever they do 0:25:46.640 --> 0:25:49.040 at the tackle position, he may want him on the 0:25:49.080 --> 0:25:51.679 field because that might be the quickest way to shorten 0:25:51.760 --> 0:25:57.600 the field for his offense is getting takeaways, which is 0:25:57.920 --> 0:26:02.520 what Mike McCarthy I believe his three keys to the game. 0:26:02.640 --> 0:26:07.919 Number one was you know, no more turnovers. Number two, uh, 0:26:08.119 --> 0:26:13.000 make sure you're um strong against the run. And then 0:26:13.040 --> 0:26:16.119 I think number three was make sure you're protecting the quarterback. 0:26:16.600 --> 0:26:18.679 So if I had to do keys to the games, 0:26:18.720 --> 0:26:20.720 I'm just gonna ut. I'm gonna take his word for 0:26:20.800 --> 0:26:38.760
