It seems like 7 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 1: a long ways away still because it's Monday Night football 8 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 1: this week at at and T Stadium, two days removed 9 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: from the Cowboys win over the Giants, and I thought 10 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: to kick off today's show we pull back the curtain 11 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: a little bit there, Mickey, because Everson showed up early 12 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: for today's show. He was. He was forty five seconds early, 13 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: which means forty five seconds ago he tuned in on 14 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: ready to go. He was ready to go, That's right, 15 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: which led us to a little conversation. You asked, or 16 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,479 Speaker 1: maybe it was Chris Beam, our producer, asked h Everson 17 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: if he ever got fined by Tom Landry back in 18 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: the day. And Everson, did you ever get fined by 19 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: Tom Landry for being late? Oh?

You just I've never I've never been fined here. 22 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 1: That's what we've been say. I've never been fined here. 23 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: Yes I have been late. Thank you guys for not 24 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: docking my pain. I really AMPLI wait a minute, we 25 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: might we might go talk to Big rib Hey me 26 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: and Big Rober like this, all right, leave Big Rob alone? 27 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: No I did uh. Let me see back in back 28 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: my rookie year in eighty one, the Cowpitals used to 29 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: leave out of love Field. If I'm not mistaken. You 30 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: know we had to. We would would fly out of there. 31 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: And one time I missed the flight. You know, we 32 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: would just drive up to the talk. We wouldn't We 33 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: didn't have to go through security or anything like that, 34 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: just drive up to the plane. And and man, I 35 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: was a little late. So you know, Tom, he's gonna 36 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: show the rookie. You know, they'd be eleven interceptions and 37 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: all of this. No, you're not too big for your britches, 38 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: getting too big for your britches. So I got fined. 39 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: I think I got fined just for missing the flight, 40 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: like two hundred bucks or something. But I had to 41 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: get my own flight up to New York, New Jersey, 42 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 1: so yeah, I missed the flight. I believe that's when 43 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: we went into overtime against the Giants in nineteen eighty one. 44 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: It was like the last game of the year. So yeah, 45 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 1: you made an almost all the way through the season 46 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: then almost. Man. You know me, Man, I'm always just 47 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: just like right there. That's story in my life. Got well, Everson, 48 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: don't feel bad because Michael Irvin missed the flight to 49 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: Detroit one year. I remember that. And we'll see Mike, 50 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: Mike was Mike was a kept man by the organization. 51 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: See he was one of their favorites. Yeah, I wasn't 52 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: he was. He wasn't favorite. He wasn't favorite enough. When 53 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: Jimmy Uh looked at his watch and saw the door 54 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: wasn't shut, and they said, uh, didn't it time to go? 55 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: And they said, well, Michael's not here. What time are 56 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: we supposed to leave? One o'clock? What time is it 57 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: one o two? Shut the door, let's go, and and 58 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: and Michael had to get his own flight, go to 59 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: Detroit on his own and Uh, Jimmy UH basically announced 60 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: to the team and the team meeting that Michael, Michael 61 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: will be punished for missing the flight. Uh. He will 62 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: not start the game. He has to miss the first possession, 63 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: and North Turner promptly asked if they kicked off, is 64 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: that the first possession if the Lions have the ball first? Yeah, 65 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: I would. I can imagine what the conversation was like when, uh, 66 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: when Tom decided to leave me. I'm pretty sure that 67 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: wasn't much talking at all. They probably wanted to leave early. 68 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: They probably want to leave earlier. What is it, uh 69 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: five till closed the door. Yeah, that's probably what Tom said. 70 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: Now here's what he said, Emerson, He said Emerson, who Emerson? Emerson? 71 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: He's late all the time. Yeah. Thanks Ali, Chris for 72 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: bringing all of this up. I really appreciate you, buddy. Well, 73 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: I'm actually one who brought it up on the air. 74 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: Chris just brought it up before year. But okay, Mickey, 75 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: bring us up to speed on what is going on. Well, 76 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: the Cowboys obviously end up losing two more starters. By 77 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: my count, that'll be nine starters that have been placed 78 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 1: on injured reserve at some point the start of this season. 79 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: Obviously Dak Prescott after his surgery, Tristan Hill tour as 80 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: acl he'll go on injured reserve. You know, what And 81 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: that's one of those things where you know, if you're 82 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: gonna get hurt like that and out for the season, 83 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: don't do it in the same game that the franchise 84 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: quarterback gets hurt, right, because you become this footnote at 85 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: the bottom and also injured bags. And you know, and 86 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 1: he's been playing well, he was probably playing the best 87 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: of any of those defensive tackles, had great, most tackles 88 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: of them all, and uh, you know, it's a shame, 89 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: but yeah, they're gonna have to go without him. I 90 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: would imagine Neville Gallimore gonna get more snaps, and who 91 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: knows for if they need more bodies on game day, 92 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: maybe they bring somebody up off the ID. An idea, 93 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: I got an idea. I don't. I don't. You probably 94 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 1: couldn't pass the COVID protocols in time for Monday, but 95 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 1: maybe you could. I saw the Saints release Marcus Hunt, 96 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: the big six eight six nine defensive tackle out of 97 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: SMU who blocks all the kicks. Oh, big guy, big fellow, Yeah, 98 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: big old to guy y. Yes, here's my fun. Okay, 99 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: just get him in here. He didn't even have to 100 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: practice with the team. Okay, just get him in here. 101 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: The Cowboys are playing Kyler Murray on Monday Night. Stand 102 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: as tall as he can, because Kyler Murray will never 103 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: be able to throw over here. So there you go. 104 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 1: So I build it. Did they did? They just release 105 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: him yesterday. Yeah, so as long as he's been with 106 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: another team, the COVID thing doesn't. Uh, you don't need 107 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: to do it. Was very Saints had a game last night, 108 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: and so you don't need to do the three negatives 109 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: in four days. You just have to come in and 110 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: pass the initial country test and you're to get him 111 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: in here. So he in here, bring him in and 112 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: at least for spoil team, right, but they can guarantee you. Fossil, 113 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: I mean he's blocked. Uh. He set the NCAA record 114 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: for block kicks at s and you and he earlier 115 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: this season he had one for for the Saints. Gary. 116 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: I bet you Fossil is in there lobbying right now. 117 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: We got to get this out. And at least he 118 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: did was he was, he was he was a specialist. 119 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: I was a specialist at an interception. This guy's a 120 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: specialist at blocking kids. It was amazing. He was Yeah 121 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: at s mu he I mean he came to this 122 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: country to play basketball and not the side. And it 123 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: was like, oh, no, you can play some football and 124 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: Russian right Russian? Yeah yeah, and uh yeah, as long 125 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: as he just stands up and doesn't you know, go 126 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: off sides when you block one or or for some 127 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: reason they have twelve guys on the field when you 128 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: block one. Get that stuff straightened down. But anyway, going 129 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: back to Tristan Hills, so uh yeah, too bad on that. 130 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: Also a little update on on Dak's surgery. I found 131 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: out that the compound part of it fracture. The compound 132 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: means you you the bone broke the skin, But it 133 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: wasn't like the fractured bone broke the skin when he 134 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: dislocated his ankle. The ankle bone when it turned. Uh 135 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: bas bags, keep asking, keep going, keep asking if I 136 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: knew anything new because it twisted the way it wasn't 137 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: supposed to be twisted, and it caused the skin. Um 138 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 1: to to boy, you think you messed up that you 139 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: think you messed up the Jack Black commercial. Oh my god. 140 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: But but but the good news on this is that 141 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: the doctors believe that um, he should be this is 142 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: not one of those career threatening things. He didn't suffer 143 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: any nerve damage. Uh. And the reason one of the 144 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: other reasons why they rushed him the hospital and didn't 145 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: the surgery or they took so much time on the 146 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: ground putting the brace on there, um that you have 147 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: to make sure that whatever the injury is, it doesn't 148 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 1: stop the blood flow uh into your foot. That's what 149 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: they were most concerned. You know, the infection party did 150 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: They said they did it. They did it in that 151 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: air cast, and that's what took so long before they 152 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: moved him. And then my understanding was after that, you know, 153 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: there's probably not as much pain because they fixed the 154 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: dislocation uh and then and they just wanted to make 155 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: sure the blood flow is continuing, because that's when you 156 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: get in trouble if the injury causes the blood flow 157 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: to stop. So anyway, it sounds like, you know, the 158 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: four to six month deal is pretty accurate. And so 159 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: maybe by April when they start the offseason, if indeed 160 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: they start the offseason on time, um, that he should 161 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 1: be by then ready to go. As Mike McCarthy said, 162 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,199 Speaker 1: you know, he'll challenge the timeline for sure. Oh you know, 163 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: and Dad, they'll have to slow him down to make 164 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: sure that he doesn't do anything. But as a matter 165 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: of fact, I found out that I guess I was 166 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 1: in good company because the doctor uh that did the 167 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: surgery was the same one that fixed my rupture to chilles. 168 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: So oh wow. So evidently he only does big time 169 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: He only does big time surgeries, right yeah, Okay, No, 170 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: that means that means he lows. That means he lures 171 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: himself to the common man. That's what it means. Okay, 172 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: let's be real. But I mean, really, man, I you know, 173 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: we of course play for Dad, but I'm glad you 174 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: mentioned Tristan Hill. You know, we just really can't ignore 175 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: the fact that this young man was having a great 176 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: year so far. I mean, considering that the line was 177 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: having problems. We could really use him, of course on 178 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: this team. But I'm hoping he comes back as well, because, 179 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: like you said, spat to be considered a footnote, you know, 180 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: that's not what you want. This guy's career is extremely 181 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: important to him and his family, and I just hope 182 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: that he comes out of this okay, and hopefully we 183 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: can have him back next year, probably hopefully better than ever. 184 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 1: My prayers go up for both of those guys, So 185 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: I want to make sure that that is that is known. Yeah, 186 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,439 Speaker 1: you know what. It reminds me of the Gallows humor 187 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 1: when we be flying on the charter and the weather 188 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: but be really bad and everybody bet on a panicking 189 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: and you're thinking, boy, if this thing goes down, you know, 190 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: I know what the headline is. And then the last 191 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: paragraph also perishing in the PS. It's a PS in 192 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: the article PS. Also they went down. It was it 193 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: was like it was like when we had the bus 194 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: crash going to training camp in twenty sixteen and uh, 195 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: we were we were non what did they call us? Uh? 196 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: Non significant personnel was on the bus. Non essential, non 197 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: essential personnel was on the bus. And I said, my 198 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: mother thinks I'm first essential. Well, well at least you 199 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: weren't insignificant. Yeah right, yeah, non essential. Okay, there's a 200 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: quarterback coming in here too, there, Mickey, Yes, Garrett Gilbert. 201 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: Cowboys are bringing him in off Cleveland's practice squad. So again, 202 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: since he's on a practice squid, it shouldn't take him 203 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:07,559 Speaker 1: as long to be allowed into the building. Bill I 204 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 1: I was shocked when I start looking up his uh 205 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,599 Speaker 1: you know, and we I guess because we knew of 206 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: him at Lake Travis High School in Austin, played what 207 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: two years at UT and then transferred to SMU. It 208 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: seems like Sky's been around half our lives played we played, remember, well, 209 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 1: how long ago has it been? At the Texas played 210 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 1: in the National Championship game two thousand and nine seasons 211 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: and nine, and Colt McCoy got hurt early in that 212 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: game and Gary Gilbert came in to replace him against 213 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: Alabama and m and then he wound up transferring to 214 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: SMU and he was a sixth round pick of the 215 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: Rams or something. I think it may have been the Rams. 216 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: The Rams, yeah and so or actually, and then he 217 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: ended up in New England. He's got several teams, so 218 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 1: he's got a national championship, a high school championship ring, 219 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: a national championship ring, and he won a Super Bowl 220 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:11,199 Speaker 1: with New England. I believe has he ever started, uh? 221 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 1: Not high school? He did in high school and then 222 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: I think he started the year the next year after 223 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: the national championship and he lost the starting job. But 224 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: he went to SMU and started. And then how about 225 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: this in twenty nineteen before he joined the Cleveland Browns. Uh, 226 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: he was the starting quarterback of the Orlando Apollos in 227 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: the AAF League, and after eight games before the league disbanded, 228 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: he was the leading passer in that league for the Apollos. 229 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: By the way, So you're saying it's another Curt Warner 230 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: in the making, is that what you're telling me? Well, 231 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: he was. I don't know that Kurt Warner had a 232 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: published as much early on in his life as what 233 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: Garrett Gilbert did. I mean Garrett Gilbert coming out of 234 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: Lake Travis, he was one of the most celebrated high 235 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: school quarterbacks ever to come out of Texas. In fact, 236 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: he was the national the Gatorade National Player of the Year. 237 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: Uh you know he was, he was it and uh 238 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: and then at Texas, Uh you know, I didn't pan 239 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: out there and he wound up transferring SMU. I'm looking 240 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: through right now as far as his professional careers with 241 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:34,119 Speaker 1: the Rams, the Patriots, the Lions, the Raiders, the Parrot Liners, 242 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: then the Alliance of American Football, Orlando Apollos, and then 243 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: this year with the Browns who loved accumulating UH. Texas 244 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: high school quarterbacks with Baker Mayfield, Case Keenom and then 245 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: UH Karrett Gilbert so well. He apparently Mike mccarth he 246 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: served yield. He served as Baker Mayfield's backup quarterback last year, 247 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: doesn't matter of he just didn't have I think he 248 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: only had to play, like maybe go in for two 249 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: games or something like that, which was highly unusual because 250 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: because Garrett Gilbert was at Lake Travis and Baker Mayfield, 251 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: younger than him, followed him at Lake Travis as the 252 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: quarterback won a state championship. Anyway, so here, here's Garret 253 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: Gilbert's here. Here's what happens when you're around a long time. 254 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 1: When when I heard they were going to sign him, 255 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: and I'm starting to go look his stuff up, and 256 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: I typed in Gail Gilbert, Well, that's his father, right, 257 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: I had the wrong Gilbert. Well, and of course Gail 258 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: Gilbert played in the NFL, and I was a backup 259 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: quarterback for many years. So how about this thing? He 260 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: is Andy Dalton. Do not get hurt, please? Yeah, well, 261 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: but we should, we should clarif I've been Denucci is 262 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: the backup quarterback now, the rookie seventh round draft pick 263 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: out of James Madison, and at least for this game. 264 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: You know what the other insignificant fact. I found out 265 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: about Gail Gilbert. You know, he played with Buffalo, right, 266 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: so he loses four consecutive Super Bowls. He's on those teams, 267 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: and then the next year he ends up in San 268 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 1: Diego and they get beat by San Francisco in the 269 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. So he owns the stitch in of all 270 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: player that has been to five consecutive Super Bowls and 271 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: lost them all and he factored into none of them. Yeah, 272 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 1: he'd ever had to play. All right, I'm sorry. I 273 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 1: have no words for the family. I have no words 274 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: for the family. I'm sorry. So if you're looking for so, 275 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 1: if you're looking for lineage there and you want to 276 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: have a bat all you want and if that's all 277 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: you want, back up court back super Bowl and getting Gilbert. 278 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: So hopefully that'll follow suit here because Garrett Gilbert foller 279 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: with the Patriots. Right, he's already at one. So what's 280 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: gonna happen here is the Cowboys. Now we're good. He's 281 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: gonna do the backwards and what his dad did, Okay, 282 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: his dad up low and then San Diego, well he 283 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 1: did New England. So now the Cowboys will win. Poor 284 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: with Garret Gilbert is about by the way to back 285 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 1: into greatness. All right, we're just getting started right there. 286 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: How does take a break?

Then he was released 341 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 1: in the afternoon and back home. As Mickey mentioned off 342 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: the top at four to six month time frame, looks 343 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: to be what it is. I wouldn't it all be 344 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: surprised if Dak with his if there's any way for 345 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 1: Dak with his work, ethic and belief system and so forth, 346 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 1: he's going to be a four to six week plan. 347 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: And he's I guarantee you, mickey, if we're taking a 348 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: show in February at the in the locker room at 349 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 1: the Star, there will be Dak Prescott there, Oh absolutely, 350 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 1: you know, and he'll be, you know, as soon as 351 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,400 Speaker 1: they get him out of a boot, he'll be doing 352 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: his rehab. And so he'll be, you know, at the Star, 353 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: rehabbing the injury, and you know he'll do it with 354 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 1: everything he's got. You know. The other thing I ran 355 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,919 Speaker 1: across and I had forgotten this. Remember Alan Hearns's injury 356 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: the wide receiver Cowboys in the playoff, very similar to 357 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: what Dak uh Dak suffered, and he he came back. 358 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: So the doctors think this is not one of those 359 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:47,360 Speaker 1: career threatening or career altering UH injuries that you can 360 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: recover from this UH and and get back. I think 361 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 1: he still was in Miami. Yeah, yeah, last year he 362 00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 1: had he was a primary receiver for the Dolphins year 363 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: and that injury occurred, of course, very late in the 364 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 1: season and so uh that that was really going to 365 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: put his opportunity, um, you know, on the back burner. 366 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: But the Cowboys, the Cowboys did him a good there 367 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: and they kept him throughout that off season and all 368 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: the way and his rehab and so forth was was 369 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: able to be accomplished. And uh, and then he got 370 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 1: the opportunity back home in Miami. Well one of the 371 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 1: really like dak another one of the really good guys 372 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: Alan hearns. Yeah, absolutely so. So it is an injury 373 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 1: you can return from and uh and and come back 374 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: and play at the same level. Assuming all goes well. 375 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: You know, they have to keep an eye on it, 376 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: make sure there's no infections sit in or anything like that. 377 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: But yeah, he should come back and be good to go. 378 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,880 Speaker 1: All right. How about Andy Dalton as the quarterback going forward? Now, 379 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: I mean, here's a guy who led the Bengals to 380 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:08,679 Speaker 1: five straight playoff appearances. He's up there either the number 381 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: one guy all time at Cincinnati with the passing records, 382 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,439 Speaker 1: and which is saying a lot when you consider they 383 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: had Ken Anderson, him Boomerissias in there back in some 384 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: glory days back in the eighties for the Bengals when 385 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: they made it to a Super Bowl with Boomer. You know, 386 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 1: you know, Dalton has some of the same qualities as 387 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: from a leadership standpoint, Mackey. You talk about his accuracy 388 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: that you've noticed right off when you're watching him in 389 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: training camp. I mean, the Cowboys are in a good position, 390 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: probably a better position than most any team in the league. 391 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: If they did have to lose their starting quarterback with 392 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, well, you know, it made me, you know, 393 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 1: go back and think, when's the last time the Cowboys 394 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: have had a backup quarterback this accomplished. It's been quite 395 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: a while. You know. You can say, well, Vinny Testaverdi, 396 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 1: but he wasn't supposed to be the starter that year. 397 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: You know, he was supposed to be the backup. Um 398 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: and I don't know, Vinnie had taken his team to 399 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: five consecutive playoffs and uh, and he did it his 400 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: first five years in the league too. If I'm not mistaken. 401 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: Three times in the Pro Bowl, you know, I was 402 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,679 Speaker 1: sitting there thinking, and I'm going, you know, no, no, uh, 403 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: nothing against Jason Garrett, but you probably had to go 404 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 1: back to Rodney Pete or Steve Berline. Steve Berline, Yeah, yeah, 405 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:46,360 Speaker 1: for that half half a season. I thought Steve Berline 406 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: was the most effective UH coming off the bench when 407 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: they made that year, and he was so affective that year. 408 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:59,440 Speaker 1: UH back in the nineties, I thought that UH choice 409 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: should have allowed him to start that game as well 410 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 1: against Detroit. No, he did, no, he did. He did 411 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 1: if I would call though we couldn't stop Dabby Sanders. Yeah, 412 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 1: and they decided that would have been a good thing. Yeah. 413 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: They decided late in the second quarter to see if 414 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: Troy because Troy wasn't real happy. He thought he should 415 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 1: have started that game. Yeah, he thought he was ready 416 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: to go, but he came in late in the second 417 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 1: quarter and the game was already over. They they they 418 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 1: they just couldn't beat that team. Well, but then you 419 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: go back to the Cowboys and under Landry and with 420 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: Gil Brandt and tex Ram I mean, they always had 421 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: more than one quality quarterback on the team. I mean, 422 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 1: starting in UH in nineteen sixty well sixty five, with 423 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 1: Greg with Meredith and Greg Morton and of course Starback 424 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,719 Speaker 1: was fulfilling his naval commitment. And then when Starback was there, 425 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 1: he had Starback and Craig Morton and Landry. Couldn't you 426 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,439 Speaker 1: know that the thing he couldn't figure out which one 427 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: to start, to the point they would shuttle in plays 428 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 1: on that almost kept time out of the Hall of Fame. 429 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: That and then you had and then you had Danny 430 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:18,679 Speaker 1: White backing up Roger after stop. Yeah. Yeah, So, um 431 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:23,679 Speaker 1: it's the quarterback controversy going back to the to the 432 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: sixties is always the thing with the Cowboys, and uh, 433 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: you're probably looking at so this is kind of a throwback. 434 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,879 Speaker 1: Uh now you can't do it anymore. And because of 435 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: the free agency and the salary cap and so forth, 436 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: to have that those type of quarterbacks on your team. 437 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: But Cowboys are very fortunate to have Andy Dalton and 438 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,640 Speaker 1: and And the biggest thing is they you know, they'll 439 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: tweak things as far as their offense is concerned, but 440 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: they don't have to, you know, they can just keep 441 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: rolling as far as this offense goes. And so it's 442 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 1: going to be interesting. Um, you know how they work 443 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,679 Speaker 1: things now with Dalton as the quarterback. You know, I'm Dalton. 444 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,199 Speaker 1: Dalton came in the game. They had they had to 445 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,439 Speaker 1: continue the game plan. That's what I liked about it. 446 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: They had to continue the game plan. They I don't 447 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: think they changed anything. As a matter of fact, he 448 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: still kept going to the same targets that Dak was 449 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 1: going to, especially that big third down to Ceedee Lamb 450 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,399 Speaker 1: that ended up allowing us to go for that go 451 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 1: ahead touchdown. I believe by by Zeke Elliott. One thing 452 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: that I saw in the game though, when we're looking 453 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 1: at matchups Coop and Bradberry, they must have been really 454 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: going at it on the corner, because I don't think 455 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: Coop got the target from Dak at all during the ballgame. 456 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: Was it one target for that one target from Dak? Correct? Yes, yes, 457 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: because Dalton came in and immediately hit him on the 458 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: sideline and and then almost threw a pick six because 459 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 1: Bradberry jumped that bad boy he ran that route for Coop. 460 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: Then all of us and Gallop is on him. He's 461 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: on Gallop, and I would imagine the coverage was good. 462 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: Dalton had to make that amazing throw on the run 463 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 1: that was against Bradberry going to Gallop on that play. 464 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: I thought, Coop, you know how it is with Coop, 465 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: You're always looking at his body language. You really can't 466 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: really tell from his expression, but he did not look 467 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: too happy in the ballgame because it was almost like 468 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: he was non existent, and so go ahead. The other 469 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: part of it is he just had forty two snaps 470 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 1: in the games. Who just two thirds of the snaps? 471 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: So I'm trying to figure out what going on. Yeah, 472 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: I'm trying to what's going on there? And I'm glad 473 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 1: you guys brought that up because that's been the discussion 474 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 1: now all day long. It's like, how did the Cowboys 475 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 1: have to change their offense to fit Andy Dalton. I 476 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 1: don't think they have to change much that they have 477 00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 1: to be concerned about. And Kellen Moore talked about we'll 478 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: have to make some adjustments, but he said, you know, 479 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: we got to run the office. And then there's this 480 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: thought that, well, now you just rely on on Zeke. 481 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: Well if you think that the Arizona Cardinals are thinking 482 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 1: the same thing, right, Oh, we better get ready for 483 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: Zeke because he's coming at us. You can't just say, okay, 484 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna run the ball, you know, and everybody brings 485 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: up the one drive when they got down seventeen three 486 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: and in a fourteen place seventy five yard drive they 487 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: scored the touchdown. They ran the ball ten times. Okay, 488 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: that's fine, all right, But but you can't just say 489 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: Zeke's carrying the ball thirty times a game now because 490 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 1: we got Andy Dalton as a quarterback. No, the reason 491 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: why you got Andy Dalton as your backup is because 492 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: he can come in and run your offense. Now, the 493 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: one thing that will change is and this will go 494 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: to the offensive line. You know, Dalton won't get you 495 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 1: out of bad situations the way Dak could if the 496 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: offensive lines not given him protection. He's not going to 497 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: get out and run like Dak or maybe buy time. 498 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: But you know the one pass he threw to Gallop, 499 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: he rolled out, he had to get out of the 500 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: pocket and I thought he was going to throw the 501 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: ball away, and he threw it on the run and 502 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: very accurately, too, very accurately. The key thing will be 503 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: can these offensive tackles, the more they play, the more 504 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: they practice, can they improve as the season goes along? 505 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 1: And give him some protection. Now, maybe the difference you 506 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 1: have is you play your tight ends a little bit more. 507 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: You give those guys some help. You ask Zeke instead 508 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 1: of going out for passes as many times, Hey, let 509 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: me chip. And if you noticed in the game against 510 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: the Giants, they employed two running backs several times, so 511 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: one could go out and one could chip. That might 512 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: be something you would see instead of going two tight ends. 513 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: So they'll make some adjustments. But I just don't think 514 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: you have this guy. Everybody looks at his last year 515 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. He had nothing. He had nothing. He didn't 516 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: have an offensive line, especially, he didn't have a J. Green. Right. Well, 517 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: that's right, that's all he had probably previously, right Hyer 518 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: boy too. But yeah, so anyway, Uh, this guy could play. 519 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 1: You know this this is not this is not bringing 520 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: in Kyle Orton or anything. This guy could play. I 521 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 1: think I think, I think, uh, the game plan would 522 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 1: remain the same, but as you said, it's facts bringing 523 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 1: into two tight ends. I think it'd be a bit 524 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 1: more conservative. Uh. And we talk about the drive, the 525 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 1: fourteen play drive. Uh, that's really to me quintessential Dallas 526 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 1: Cowboy football. I think Dak would rather have it that way. 527 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: I think that the Cowboy coaching staff would rather have 528 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: it that way. I think when we have that game 529 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: plan in and it's effective, that's when we're most successful. 530 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 1: It's just the way it is and the way that 531 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 1: defense was playing, not necessarily being lights out, no doubt 532 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: about it. They still gave up twenty points to a 533 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: woeful New York Giants offense. But they only gave up 534 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 1: twenty points to a New York Giant offense. That's still 535 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: something that you can hang your hat on. Because we 536 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 1: hadn't stopped anyone. Our stoppage on drives was more than 537 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 1: we've ever stopped anyone. I would imagine in this game, 538 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 1: we probably stopped more drives and we did the previous 539 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: drives led up to this point. So you did see 540 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 1: some continuity defensively which really led to them feeding into 541 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: our offense and how we were able to make plays 542 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 1: and not necessarily feel the pressure to score every time 543 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 1: while we're on the field. So that's something I think 544 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 1: is going to be different in regards to our game plan, 545 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 1: a little bit more conservative. Zeke is going to get 546 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 1: the ball more. But don't expect Dalton just be sitting 547 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 1: back there like a sitting duck. He's gonna be a 548 00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 1: guy who's gonna try and move us down the field. 549 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 1: And he can. Like you said, he's got the ability, 550 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 1: very durable quarterback, very doable quarterback, and he's very similat 551 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,719 Speaker 1: So let's give him the benefit of the doubt at 552 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,800 Speaker 1: least early on.

October thirteenth is his birthday. Wow, 596 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 1: turns seventy eight, seventy eight, seventy eight today, and still 597 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:02,160 Speaker 1: kicking up a storm. By the way, He's been kind 598 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 1: of quiet here lately in regards to all this social 599 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:10,799 Speaker 1: injustice is going on and all these protests, so a bit, 600 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,360 Speaker 1: you know what, he hasn't been quiet. He just hasn't 601 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,600 Speaker 1: been available for interviews because you think about it. You know, 602 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 1: after every home game, or every game, not just home home. 603 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:24,400 Speaker 1: In a way, he would hold court before they basically 604 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,720 Speaker 1: opened the locker room and the head coach would speak. 605 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 1: That's not happening anymore because of COVID and all the 606 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 1: NFL protocols for it. So really the only time we 607 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 1: hear from him now is twice a week when he 608 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,919 Speaker 1: does his segment on one oh five three the Fan, 609 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,759 Speaker 1: or when he puts out a statement like he did 610 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 1: after Dak got hurt, so you know he had it. 611 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 1: He had an interesting comment today was right at the 612 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:55,320 Speaker 1: end of the interview about how he lives his life 613 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:59,239 Speaker 1: and he always have being positive, the fact that his 614 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,839 Speaker 1: glass is always half full. He said, I couldn't I 615 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 1: couldn't stand myself if I was negative all the time 616 00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:10,879 Speaker 1: and wasting my energy on negative thoughts. He goes, that's 617 00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 1: why I'm so positive. He goes, and I'm trying to 618 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 1: think of how he used the word, but he used 619 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 1: the word naivety, not naive, naivety that he goes to 620 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 1: a fault. That's me. If that's what I am. I 621 00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:28,200 Speaker 1: may be very naive, but I'm always looking towards the positive, 622 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,759 Speaker 1: or how I can turn something negative into a positive. 623 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,080 Speaker 1: As he said, when the COVID hit and no one 624 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,719 Speaker 1: was sure if this season would go off, and if 625 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,960 Speaker 1: fans would be in the stands, and and and his 626 00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,920 Speaker 1: thoughts were somebody said you have to put an asterisk 627 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 1: on this season. He goes, if you put an asterisk, 628 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:49,080 Speaker 1: then it should be an asterisk that we pulled this off. That, 629 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 1: And he was saying this before we went to training camp. 630 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 1: So anyway, that was his kind of his thoughts on 631 00:38:56,719 --> 00:39:01,839 Speaker 1: life at seventy eight years old. You know, I thought 632 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 1: the same thing, even like when the Lakers won the 633 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 1: other day, Um, you know, after for those NBA teams 634 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,839 Speaker 1: and when Tampa Bay won, when in the NHL and 635 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,840 Speaker 1: so forth, those guys had spent so much time away 636 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 1: from their families and stuff in the bubble. I mean, 637 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 1: you can't take away from a championship that is won 638 00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,920 Speaker 1: in these circumstances. In fact, I think it's enhanced actually 639 00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:30,400 Speaker 1: for their team to come through under these circumstances. Uh. 640 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:34,440 Speaker 1: You know, that's the other thing that the positive spirit 641 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,760 Speaker 1: that and that was what I was taken aback by 642 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:41,240 Speaker 1: or not surprised by. But I was inspired by actually 643 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:45,279 Speaker 1: Jerry at is opening press conference before training camp, that 644 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:49,440 Speaker 1: positive spirit that he had about the pandemic and so forth. 645 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:53,959 Speaker 1: That is the same attitude that is a hallmark of 646 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. I mean, I remember a couple of years 647 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,359 Speaker 1: ago and the Cowboys had that horr Mobile stretch in 648 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:05,040 Speaker 1: November where they were getting blown out three straight games. 649 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 1: I don't remember the numbers on it. But and I 650 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:12,160 Speaker 1: guess it was that when Zeke was suspended, and I 651 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:16,279 Speaker 1: remember I did a sit down interview with Dak. It 652 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:20,279 Speaker 1: was it was in the days after the Thanksgiving Day game, 653 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:25,960 Speaker 1: and I was just blown away by how confident he 654 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,240 Speaker 1: was that that team was going to turn it around. 655 00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,280 Speaker 1: And I guarantee you if you sat down with Dak today, 656 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,680 Speaker 1: even after what happened on Sunday, that he would have 657 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:39,399 Speaker 1: that same attitude that this team can do it, and 658 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,080 Speaker 1: as soon as he can get in there with his 659 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,760 Speaker 1: teammates and so forth, he is going to be doing 660 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:49,520 Speaker 1: everything he can to get behind Andy Dalton and his 661 00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:51,799 Speaker 1: teammates and so forth and do what he can to 662 00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,560 Speaker 1: help them accomplish what they had set out to do 663 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 1: with this season began. So they were five and three. 664 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,920 Speaker 1: They were five three after the first eight games, and 665 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:06,439 Speaker 1: then Zeke got suspended for six in a row. They 666 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:10,600 Speaker 1: lost the next three straight twenty seven seven to Atlanta, 667 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 1: thirty nine nine to Philadelphia, and twenty eight six to 668 00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:18,200 Speaker 1: the Chargers, and then turned it around and won four 669 00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:21,200 Speaker 1: of the last five games. That see right, and that 670 00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,080 Speaker 1: and that was after that Thanksgiving game. He's when I 671 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,320 Speaker 1: and I was drainting doing the interview with him, I 672 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,520 Speaker 1: was like, man, this is gonna be horrible. The team 673 00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:34,240 Speaker 1: is playing awful, and I felt I felt lifted myself 674 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,399 Speaker 1: coming out of the interview. I'm going to accomplish something 675 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,600 Speaker 1: today after talking to it. That's the that's the kind 676 00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,520 Speaker 1: of leader that guy is, and he'll be like that 677 00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,680 Speaker 1: even when he's not playing. I think, yeah, I think 678 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:51,879 Speaker 1: when you look at most accomplished athletes, um, you're motivated 679 00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,680 Speaker 1: by by one or two things. It's either you're gonna 680 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:58,480 Speaker 1: be motivated by positivity. Are you're gonna be motivated by 681 00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,440 Speaker 1: by the the missteps that you might have taken in 682 00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:06,719 Speaker 1: your life, you know, because you you Sometimes anger can 683 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 1: can lead to achievements as long as that anger is 684 00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:15,239 Speaker 1: channeled in the right way. Uh. Sometimes you get mad 685 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,400 Speaker 1: at yourself, you know, sometimes you get mad at the situation. 686 00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,120 Speaker 1: But at one point you go, you know what, I'm 687 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:25,200 Speaker 1: not taking this anymore. After a while, you stop pointing 688 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,200 Speaker 1: fingers and you point to yourself and say, it's up 689 00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,960 Speaker 1: to me to make this right. And so yeah, you can. 690 00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:32,840 Speaker 1: You can say that comes from a point of anger, 691 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,520 Speaker 1: or it comes from a point of positivity, but at 692 00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,440 Speaker 1: all points to the fact that you need to take 693 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,800 Speaker 1: care of business and a change needs to be made. 694 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:44,239 Speaker 1: So I don't care how you how where it comes from. Uh, 695 00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:49,200 Speaker 1: motivation can come from many different places. You know, it's 696 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,480 Speaker 1: a good point everything because you know when when I 697 00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,279 Speaker 1: would every year, i'd go to training camp and you know, 698 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:58,360 Speaker 1: with either eighty or ninety man rosters, they're thirty guys 699 00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,879 Speaker 1: on there that they don't have a chance in hell 700 00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,800 Speaker 1: of making the team right. But I but I always 701 00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,560 Speaker 1: see these athletes that you know, we used to call 702 00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,640 Speaker 1: camp bodies, like you're just there for training camp, but 703 00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,919 Speaker 1: so positive about yeah, I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna 704 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,480 Speaker 1: make this right. And it it made me think if 705 00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,120 Speaker 1: you don't have that attitude and you go in thinking 706 00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,279 Speaker 1: they just got me here for three weeks and then 707 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,920 Speaker 1: I'm done, you can't you can't perform right you you 708 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,879 Speaker 1: won't have you won't even give yourself a chance. But 709 00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,960 Speaker 1: I've seen athletes and I don't know if it's confidence 710 00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,520 Speaker 1: or just the fact that you've got to be positive 711 00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:37,799 Speaker 1: otherwise you've got no shot whatsoever for a miracle to 712 00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:42,000 Speaker 1: take place. In nineteen eighty one, I must admit I 713 00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:45,920 Speaker 1: don't know if I was naive, partly insane, but you 714 00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:49,719 Speaker 1: know you're gonna be there for six weeks if you're 715 00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 1: if you're gonna make if you're like the first round pit. 716 00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,280 Speaker 1: I packed for six weeks when I went to Thousand 717 00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:59,120 Speaker 1: Oaks my Wookie year. I had a big suitcase and 718 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,400 Speaker 1: I will all my clothes. While I was there, I 719 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,400 Speaker 1: didn't watch anything, So as far as I was concerned, 720 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:09,280 Speaker 1: I had no choice. I was angry about not getting 721 00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,080 Speaker 1: drafted and all of that. So like you said, like 722 00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:16,279 Speaker 1: I said, that anger can sometimes motivate you, uh to 723 00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:20,480 Speaker 1: really think outside yourself and never give up. So yeah, 724 00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,640 Speaker 1: I was one of those camp bodies bags, I know 725 00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,640 Speaker 1: what you mean. It was twenty five rookie dbs and 726 00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:29,880 Speaker 1: they didn't give any one of us a chance to 727 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,960 Speaker 1: make it. Mike Downs started it and then I was 728 00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:36,160 Speaker 1: able to finish it. So it was good stuff. That's 729 00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:39,799 Speaker 1: the same naivete that Jerry was talking about on the 730 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,440 Speaker 1: radio today. I mean, how to have it. You know, 731 00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:44,279 Speaker 1: I didn't look at the numbers. I mean, yeah, you 732 00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,560 Speaker 1: realized there were guys there, There were twenty five other 733 00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,400 Speaker 1: guys there. You realized that, I mean people were drafted 734 00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:51,560 Speaker 1: that year, and you weren't drafted, but it didn't matter. 735 00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:55,640 Speaker 1: You could know that that same mindset that I'm gonna 736 00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:58,399 Speaker 1: make it. I'm you. You can be mad all you want, 737 00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,280 Speaker 1: you can be mad all you want, but if actually 738 00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:02,759 Speaker 1: you gotta get down the business, and that's what that's right. 739 00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:07,080 Speaker 1: Probably why Jerry was able to last at Arkansas as 740 00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:11,680 Speaker 1: an offensive lineman, right, he doesn't look like an offensive lineman. Probably, 741 00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,680 Speaker 1: what do you think he weighed back in what nineteen 742 00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:18,520 Speaker 1: sixty sixty one sixty two, what about Jimmy Johnson saying 743 00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,399 Speaker 1: Jimmy two, both of them, Yeah, they might have been 744 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:28,720 Speaker 1: two twenty. I don't know. I doubt it. I doubt Yeah. 745 00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:31,040 Speaker 1: I went back and looked at it. A roster like 746 00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,960 Speaker 1: an Orange Bowl roster from an OU team from nineteen 747 00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,759 Speaker 1: fifty six, and the lineman the biggest guys on the 748 00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:40,640 Speaker 1: team were like two hundred and ten pounds. Yeah, it's crazy. 749 00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,920 Speaker 1: All right. I think we've about done it here already. 750 00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:50,000 Speaker 1: I'm inspired by these stories of overcoming that Everson Walls 751 00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:53,880 Speaker 1: has brought us today, and Jerry Jones on the right, Jos, 752 00:45:53,960 --> 00:46:00,439 Speaker 1: Happy birthday, j j and and being on time trying 753 00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,000 Speaker 1: let's go out out and buy US, an NFL team 754 00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,920 Speaker 1: or something. I feel good. Let's go bet on a 755 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:10,319 Speaker 1: horse race. There you go, all right, and we will 756 00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:14,240 Speaker 1: see you again tomorrow at one thirty for another edition 757 00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:19,560 Speaker 1: of Mix Shops, Go Cowboys.
