We heard Mike McCarthy at ten thirty 34 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: this morning right here on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and 35 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: the Cowboys doing a non traditional although now it is 36 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: traditional because it's the Mike McCarthy era Friday walkthrough of sorts, 37 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: and then a more strenuous workout on Saturday before the 38 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 1: game on Sunday. Bring us up to speed on what 39 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: you know out there at the Star inside the SWBC 40 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: Mortgage studio. Well, it's kind of quiet here because I 41 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: think everybody that's in kind of the world worker b 42 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: section of this place realize that there wasn't much going 43 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: on today, so a lot of working from home, it 44 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:13,399 Speaker 1: certainly looks like. But the Cowboys will get to work today. 45 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: It's a one hour walk through later this afternoon, and 46 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: then I see their itinerary for tomorrow, and the COVID 47 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:29,519 Speaker 1: testing which is mandatory before the meeting begins on Saturday, 48 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: begins at eight eight no, wait, six thirty to eight 49 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: am in the morning, so it's no weekend for these 50 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, and they are scheduled to depart the charter 51 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: site out at DFW at three o'clock PM and head 52 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: too lax. So that's kind of their schedule for these 53 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: next two days. And between it sounded like, between listening 54 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: to Mike McCarthy, between tonight and tomorrow's team meeting, they 55 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: will announce who this week's team captains will be, and 56 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: it sounds like it's a decision between Mike McCarthy and 57 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: his assistant head coach Rob Davis, So it's kind of 58 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: a weekly reward, it sounds like. And then they will 59 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 1: choose the one person because you only get one person 60 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 1: to go out there for the coin flip from each team. 61 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: No more five people huddling up, shaking hands, hugging, patting 62 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: each other on the back for social distancing, and he 63 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: was whoever draws the short straw has to go out Yeah, 64 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: right exactly. Tony Romo hated it. He hated going out there. 65 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: He said, the last thing I want to do before 66 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 1: I'm going to take a first snap is start frattonizing 67 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: with Somebody's going to take my head off, right, he said. 68 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: I just I just hated it. And so the key 69 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: question was Mike, are you a heads or a tails 70 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: guy on the coin flip? And he goes, I'm a 71 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: tails guy. But they follow up with the next question 72 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: that needed to be answered, which is do you take 73 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: the ball or do you defer? So we'll see some 74 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: of that this week out serious stuff, right, hate I 75 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: hate deferring to me, if you win a toss, you 76 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: go out there with your offense and you drive it 77 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: right down the field. I hate how we have to 78 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: make this, you know, we have to make this statement 79 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 1: early in the game. My defense is going to go 80 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: out there and stop him back and backfire so badly 81 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: on you. Sometimes I don't think it's worth the risk. 82 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: If you have a chance to get the ball, you 83 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: get the ball and you go score. To me, that's 84 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: how you make a statement. I never understood that whole 85 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,679 Speaker 1: thing about, you know, trying to intimidate the other team 86 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: because my defense is so amazing. That stuff you're going 87 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: and that stuff can going to on you so fast 88 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: you'll be behind before you know it. I never did 89 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: like it. And you know what, I'm absolutely with you. 90 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: It's like, why would you give the other team to 91 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: put you in the hole before you ever touched the football, right, 92 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: at least give yourself a chance. I did it. Now. 93 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: I did somewhat understand Jason Garrett's thinking on that when 94 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: he would say he would defer when he was on 95 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: the road because the home crowd would be all fired 96 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: up and everybody's yelling and screaming and they're in their 97 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: seats and he goes, and you know, your offense may 98 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: malfunction because of all the noise, and he goes. But 99 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: if you get the ball to start the second half, 100 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: most of the people aren't back in their seats after 101 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: going to get something to eat and drink, and it's 102 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: not as noisy as it would be. To start the game, 103 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 1: so there there was no reason. When you think about 104 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: that logic, I still see I still see it backfiring. 105 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 1: If you get the ball after say their offense goes 106 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: down to scores, you're gonna have the same noise right 107 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: the fact it might raise a decimal even if you 108 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,679 Speaker 1: get it either way on the second drive of the game, 109 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: it really doesn't matter. By the time, by the time 110 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: you get to the second half, you might be down 111 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: by three scores already. So now still doesn't make any sense. 112 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: And think about this, even with the kickoff now and 113 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: everybody gets excited and they're standing and clapping, and then 114 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: it's a touchback. It just yeah, it deflates the start 115 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: of the game. Remember for the kickoff, everybody get up 116 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: and they wave their white towels and then it's a touchman. Yeah, yeah, 117 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: Well what do the analytics say though, Oh well, that's 118 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: most important here, he goes, I think you have will 119 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: what dude, what do they say? What? I have no 120 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: clue you should, I would say, I would say, the 121 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: analytics say, do not defer. That's what I would say. Well, 122 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of people who will disagree 123 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: with you on that. That you defer giving your team 124 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: a chance to have the ball to start, and the 125 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: reason that they do that is so that you can 126 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: double up on possessions at the end of the first half. 127 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: You know you're getting the balls to start the second 128 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: half and you can steal an extra possession. Well, what 129 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: makes you think the rotation of possessions is going to 130 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: turn out that way? There's there's no guarantee you're gonna 131 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: have two in a row. That's right, that's right. But yeah, 132 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 1: I don't like that. I think I'm I'm monitoring on 133 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: periscope anyone who wants to chime in on the old 134 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: coin toss decision or if you have a Super Bowl 135 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: fifty four prediction, which, by the way, super Bowl fifty 136 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: four will be on my network once again this year 137 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: on CBS this year. Jim Nansen Romo, So we know 138 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 1: Tony Romo is making it to the Super Bowl this year. Time. Wait, 139 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 1: way to go, Tony, You just made it with the 140 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: wrong team. I'm sorry, All right, Mickey, Yet give us 141 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: what you know about an injury report. Although things are 142 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: going to be up in the air with this new 143 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: practice schedule that we've got as far as the coach 144 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: been able to see UH injured players play throughout the week. Well, 145 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: the only thing we're going to find out is what 146 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: happened after yesterday's practice, right, because the injury report today 147 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: will be UH, they'll they'll put in parentheses A a 148 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: prediction or an assumption because the practice will be on Saturday, 149 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: and you don't have to update it on Saturday. H 150 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: So as of yesterday's practice should have been Alluzier full 151 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: both days Wednesday Thursday, Marie Cooper full both Wednesday Thursday, 152 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: Luke Gifford limited both days, and Jordan Lewis did not 153 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 1: participate both days and that probably won't change. So, and 154 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of talk will Brandon Carr 155 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: be active or inactive? And Jerry kind of skirted the situation. 156 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy said, well, we'll make those decisions on Saturday. 157 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: But I just think without a training camp and he's 158 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: only been out there two days, I don't know that 159 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: they use a roster spot for him, or I should 160 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: say a game day roster spot, because you wouldn't promote 161 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: him to the fifty five if he wasn't going to 162 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: be on the forty eight. So that one hasn't been 163 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 1: clarified yet, But I somehow kind of doubt that he 164 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: would be ready to go after two and a half practices, 165 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: and the and the rams are pretty much about two. 166 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: But this thing about the Saturday practice, the thing about 167 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 1: the Saturday practice, I started thinking about that last night 168 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: and how they might have a little bit more of 169 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 1: an uptick than most teams have on a Saturday. Yeah, 170 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,559 Speaker 1: why don't you have a player out there with a 171 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: gympie ankle or you know that that growing not quite 172 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: where you want it to be, but you're gonna give 173 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: it a try anyway. And you go out there and 174 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: you're you're you're you're integral part of the say, third 175 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: down defense, and you go out there and just go 176 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: out there and screw something up. You screw up that 177 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: same injury, you reaggravate it. What happens then, I mean, 178 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: what if it affects, you know, his movement, and he's 179 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: really may not say he's out for the game, but 180 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: he may be extremely questionable in his own mind because 181 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: now he has just reinjured himself. I wonder if McCarthy 182 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: has had that kind of issue in the past, and 183 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: what would he do if he had that issue in 184 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: the future, and I prettily doesn't, but that could be 185 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: a real possibility because on Fridays, you know, we kind 186 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: of chilled on Fridays, but you still had guys going 187 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: for the ball. And when you're talking about muscle injuries 188 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: and these limb injuries, then that something could reoccur on 189 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: that Saturday and that could be disastrous, sort of like 190 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: when you guys went to Denver and was it eighty 191 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 1: five or eighty six and Danny Danny White pulled up 192 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: lame after running down for conditioning on uh special teams 193 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: and then I think Randy White hurt himself. Also somehow 194 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: I remember all that stuff, and yeah, i'd remembered as well, Well, 195 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: you know we uh we weren't really uh in the 196 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: hunt that year anyway. Was that eighty six? I believe? 197 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: Oh yeah it was. That was the reason you started 198 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: off six and two. Yeah, you're until remember until Danny 199 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: that would have fractured his risk he share? Did he share? Did? 200 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: And the number one on since that really happened, Yeah, 201 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: that that that certainly couldn't happen. So you have to 202 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: wonder if you can do it on a Friday, you 203 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 1: can do it on a Saturday. Well, of course it 204 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: say it'll be a contactless practice. I mean, that's a 205 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: one hour kind of no padded practice, remember so, But 206 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,479 Speaker 1: it could happen, you ever, know, when somebody pulls him ust. Okay, 207 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: ever again, let's go ahead, go ahead. What do you 208 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: think of McCarthy's tradition of not having permanent team captains 209 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: for the entire season and doing it week to week. 210 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: You know, that's something very different. I never cared much 211 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: about who the captain was because from year to year 212 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: it would change. But if you're going from week to week, 213 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: it does kind of seem like a unnecessary ritual. I 214 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: guess you might call it from week to week. Uh, 215 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: I don't you know, I don't think anyone would really 216 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: care about it. When you're a captain for the entire season, 217 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: you know, that's that's a badge that you keep for 218 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: the entire season. You know. If you're just a captain 219 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: for a week, I don't know, that's that just seems 220 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: kind of so abbreviated. Obviously. I think that there's something 221 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: that's a bit unnecessary to have to really, you know, 222 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: you and the assistant coach get together and and pick 223 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: a captain every week. No I don't think much about 224 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: it at all. Bill, that's a long way to say 225 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: I don't care for it, and early Mickey. And the 226 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: other part of that is most teams, it's like the 227 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: teammates vote on the captains, and or at least they 228 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: have a large say in, or they think they have 229 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: a large say. Who knows for sure, once who's actually 230 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: tabulated the teammates votes. The coaches have the finals say 231 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: on who those captains are, but they like to make 232 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: the players think that they I had to say it. 233 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: Who they got a story for your Bill, I have 234 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: at well, you know Coach Lantry. You know Coach Lantry 235 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: did not care. I recall we wrote the names down 236 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: on paper. I don't know if you were there yet, Spags. 237 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: We wrote all our answers down on paper on who 238 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: wanted this? So you got all these little slips of 239 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: paper with names on them, and we gave them all 240 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: to Coach Landry, and before he ended the meeting, he 241 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: put he took all of them and he bawled them 242 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: up in his hand, put them in his pocket and said, 243 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: I'll let you know. We'll let you guys know who 244 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: the captain is. After you said it, just like you said, Bill, 245 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: we thought we knew who the captain. We thought we 246 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: were voting for captains, but no, we were not. It 247 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: was it was merely just you know, uh, just a 248 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: little dressing on the on the side, that's all it was. 249 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: So Mike mccarnie Lowhouse ask on periscope can someone be 250 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: named captain on multiple occasions? Sixteen game season? There's everybody 251 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: on the team is gonna be a captain. If you 252 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: don't have multiple captain then you you what about the 253 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: guy that never gets to be picked, Well, he's gonna 254 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: feel bad. But think think about it's only a one 255 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: day designation and then it disappears after the game. Right, 256 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: it's not like they put a seven. I never got picked. 257 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: If I'm not, if I'm not gonna never got picked, 258 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: then I never got picked. I didn't even get picked 259 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: for a day. Well, you're only gonna have thirty two 260 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: of them, right, somebody's not gonna get picked. Well, and 261 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: we don't know how superstitious Mike McCarthy is. If the Cowboys, 262 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: you know, name their three captains this week and they 263 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: win by thirty points, the same three captains are going 264 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: out the next week, aren't they so wait is it? 265 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: Is it one of three? Two? One of three? He 266 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: said two O two. I thought, I thought, I said three. 267 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: I thought, well, maybe he did, maybe there's a special 268 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: teams guy. But he said, you offense, defense and specialty. 269 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: He looks at it as promote leadership, like given different 270 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 1: guys to learn to be leaders. So you're a leader 271 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 1: on game day, by the way. As a public service announcement. 272 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: So we got two screens in here right in the 273 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: podcast studio, and we're on one screen and there was 274 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: a game being played on the other and I was 275 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 1: kind of looking at it and it was San Francisco, 276 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 1: and I was like, well, who are they playing? And 277 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: every play so it turned out to be a highlight 278 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: clip every play. Ninety nine was sacking the quarterback. Ninety 279 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: nine was Alden Smith, by the way, unbelievable. This must 280 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 1: have been his second season when he had like nineteen sacks. 281 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: They can't stop him. And right now they just rushed 282 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: the Bears with a three man line. All three guys 283 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: in San Francisco were standing up and all three guys 284 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: met in the end zone at the quarterback. By the way, 285 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 1: so okay, he was amazing, ye, And we're gonna find 286 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 1: out on Sunday night how amazing he is after a 287 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,919 Speaker 1: few years off, and it's going to be interesting to 288 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,959 Speaker 1: see how much playing time Alden Smith gets against the Rams. 289 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: All right, we're just getting started on this edition of 290 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: mix Shots.

Who Campbell? 345 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: What was the quarterback? All Jason Campbell? Jason Campbell. Yeah, 346 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: he's gonna remember that guy. So this is I remember 347 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: Jason Campbell. Everson, you know, you played for Bill Parcels 348 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:55,439 Speaker 1: and you know he would talk about distractable players. You know, 349 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: he talked about if he had a cornerback who who 350 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: wasn't attentive to what was going on in the build 351 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: He's looking up in the stands or whatever. Oh, Mickey 352 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: is the ultimate distractable player in Bill Parcells. Uh mind, 353 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: because he we got to turn off those TV monitors 354 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 1: when we're doing the show. Mickey, I'm multitasking. And by 355 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: the way, the screen is right next to the camera 356 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,919 Speaker 1: I'm looking at, so I got one eye on the 357 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: camera and one eye on the screen. All right. He 358 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: do have a little bit of research, It's right, Bill. 359 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 1: I mean Aldam Smith is the guy that he's looking at. So, yeah, 360 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,360 Speaker 1: that's that's what he's doing. I hope that this carries 361 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 1: over into the game on Sunday night. That would be really, 362 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,120 Speaker 1: really nice. Did you guys have one eye at least 363 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: on the Thursday night game the Kansas City Chiefs in 364 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. And if so, what did you take 365 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: out of that game that? Yeah, I did that one 366 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 1: eye on You're right, I had to. I had Lebron 367 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,199 Speaker 1: and one eye I had my homes on the other eye, So, yeah, 368 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 1: you're right, I had to. I had to take a 369 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,040 Speaker 1: look at my Lakers and see what was going on. 370 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: The game pretty much went the way I thought it would. 371 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: You know, my home's doing this thing, the touchdowns piling up. 372 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 1: I knew that they were going to struggle offensively in Houston. 373 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: As much as I loved Deshaun Watson, I think they 374 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: stripped him of all of his weapons. I really do. 375 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: When they took Hopkins away. They don't have a good 376 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: running game. You know, this is the kind of thing 377 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,199 Speaker 1: that just kind of leads a disaster. And I can 378 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,919 Speaker 1: see DeShawn Watson running all over the place trying to 379 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: save his own life, just like he's done the past, 380 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: really the past two years. And one of those games 381 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: was against the Cowboys. I didn't think he would finish 382 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: the game because we were just laying him out, and 383 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 1: he actually came back and won that game. Against Dallas, 384 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, but to put him through all 385 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: of that that he goes through offensive line is average. 386 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,199 Speaker 1: They don't pass block well. He's going to be on 387 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: the run for his entire this entire season, and they're 388 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: gonna make him earn that money. He deserved it and 389 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: he's gonna earn it. I had an eye and a 390 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: half on Jamie Ben and a half an eye on 391 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. Had two TV's going at once. Yea, and 392 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,919 Speaker 1: the Dallas Stars came through for you with a victory. 393 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 1: They got a two one lead in that Western Conference finals. 394 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: You know what, at the time though that the Chiefs 395 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: selected Clyde Edwards Hilaire out of LSU, I said, what 396 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 1: a great draft pick. That was late in the first 397 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: round and a first game in the NFL. He showed 398 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: what a great pick he was. And uh, you know, 399 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: I don't think it would be a surprise to anyone. 400 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: He's gonna have a huge season for Kansas City if 401 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: he stays healthy. Yeah, not just late in the first round. 402 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,880 Speaker 1: That late in the first round. They were picking right 403 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: and they get him. He was shredding the Texans defense, 404 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: just shredding him. They couldn't stop him. So I saw that, 405 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 1: all right, So and I saw the beginning of and 406 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: all that too. All right, So let's let's fast forward 407 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,160 Speaker 1: to Sunday night. What our expectations on Sunday night when 408 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: the Cowboys take on the Rams? Just off the top, 409 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 1: what is it? What's the big thing you're gonna be 410 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: looking for, Mickey, let's start with you. Well, I think 411 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,400 Speaker 1: there'll be two big things I'll be looking for. How 412 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: well that Cowboys right tackle functions in place of Lale Collins? 413 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:41,199 Speaker 1: And then can this team play the run effectively? We 414 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: get all fired up about their ability to rush the quarterback. 415 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: That's why we were talking about Alden Smith, Everson Griffin, 416 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: a big sack guy in Minnesota. But can they stop 417 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 1: the run like they did when they played the Rams 418 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: at at and T Stadium in what was a game 419 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 1: I think thirteen game fourteen at the end of the 420 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 1: season and they held them the twenty two yards rushing. 421 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 1: I know they've got different running backs now and they're 422 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 1: you know, have changed the offense a little, but they've 423 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 1: got to be able to stop the run to earn 424 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 1: the right to rush the quarterback. One thing I'm looking 425 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 1: forward to is not just winning, of course, but how 426 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:32,439 Speaker 1: we win. I'd love to see the approach that the 427 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,640 Speaker 1: coaches take in regards of the game plan, because, let's, 428 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 1: let's face it, we had so much talent last year 429 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: defensively and offensively. It was a letdown on both sides. 430 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: Even though offensively we had numbers off the chart, a 431 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: lot of those were in comeback situations and desperate, come 432 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 1: from behind situations. Unfortunately, I'd love to see if the 433 00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,640 Speaker 1: predictability is gonna still be there. Is it gonna look 434 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: the same? Of course, we have the same plays, There's 435 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. We have a lot of the 436 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: same players, the same system. We've got, you know, great talent, 437 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 1: but how are we going to coach them? How are 438 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 1: we going to manage offensively? How are we going to 439 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: do in the red zone? Are we going to be 440 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 1: just as ineffective as we were last year? And as 441 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,640 Speaker 1: you talk about defensively, will we able to be able 442 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 1: to stop the run? Will we be able to get 443 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 1: off the field. I love the stats that we had 444 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 1: last year. Defensively had great stats, but that didn't add 445 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: up to wins. Can we stop someone on third downs? 446 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,360 Speaker 1: Can we stop the run when we need it when 447 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: we need to and so that's that's what I'm looking 448 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: forward to. Our our play calls, not just offensively, but 449 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: how aggressive are we going to be defensively? Not just 450 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: against the run, but how aggressive we're going to be 451 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: against the past in these key situations. I hope that 452 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 1: this coaching change, we can see the change in the 453 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: coaching because we know what we've always had the talent. 454 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 1: I want to see the change in the coaches. Vicky, 455 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,679 Speaker 1: let me ask you. You know, the key thing that 456 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: happened I think in the preseason was Gerald McCoy going 457 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 1: down in the first first padded practice at that defensive 458 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 1: tackle position. How do you think it's going to manifest 459 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: itself on Sunday Night inside with the inside players? Obviously 460 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 1: Don Terry Poe is a key free agent acquisition as well, 461 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: But how do you think that the Cowboys are going 462 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: to be able to compensate for what they expected going 463 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,239 Speaker 1: into this preseason? They would have a six time Pro 464 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: Bowler in Gerald McCoy in there. Now, what are they 465 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 1: going to do? Yeah, and I'm not straddling defense here, 466 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 1: but I think you're going to see a committee at 467 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: that three technique. You're gonna see Tristan Hill, You're gonna 468 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: see Tyrone Crawford, and I think at times you could 469 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: even see Everson Griffin moving inside and have a defensive 470 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: front with Alden Smith, Everson Griffin, DeMarcus Lawrence, and then 471 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 1: you just picked the other guy that's that's in there, 472 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: and it might be Crawford, who knows um. So I 473 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: think you're going to see a combination of guys. And 474 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: I thought you would have seen a combination of guys 475 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: even if McCoy was there, because you know, if you 476 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 1: watch some of his game tape from last year, he 477 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: wasn't that destructive. He wasn't the guy that went to 478 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 1: six consecutive Pro Bowls in Tampa Bay. So I think 479 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: that they they'll mix it up, and they've got enough versatile, 480 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: flexible players to be able to compensate for his absence. 481 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 1: You know, usually when you're dealing with older players, it 482 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: takes them a little while to to get rapped up. 483 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: You know, usually the second part of the season that's 484 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: when they played well. I was looking forward to McCoy 485 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: being that guy. I didn't look for much input from 486 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: him the early part of the season. I thought he 487 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 1: would be that guy when we needed him to come 488 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: through and make plays, kind of like Rondo does for 489 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: the Lakers. That's what I was looking forward to mccau 490 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 1: doing for us, a guy that was going to come 491 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: through and be just instrumental when we really needed him. 492 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 1: We're going down the stretch and I have to say, Bill, 493 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 1: the thing that is going to be glaring in this 494 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: game is how well the Cowboys do on special teams. 495 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to that. You know, you could 496 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: have a good punner, which we do have. We've been 497 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: very consistent in our punt game for years and years 498 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: here in Dallas, but I would love to see us 499 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: have a return game. If we could have a great 500 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: punt return game. You just don't you will understand how 501 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: much of a difference that could make in the outcome 502 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 1: of a ball game. That's just one score you don't 503 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 1: have to worry about. That's a one or two, three 504 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 1: or four first downs that you don't have to worry 505 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 1: about as you start your offensive drive. So that special teams, 506 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 1: we made a big deal about it when we first 507 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: had the coaches come over. I'm looking forward to sing 508 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: a difference all the way around, not just in the 509 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: punk game, but in the punk return game as well, Nick, 510 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: if you think Ceedee Lamb's gonna return punks, Yes, I 511 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: don't know that it'll be all of them. They may 512 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: do it in a situation where when they've got what 513 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: you would call basically an offensive return, meaning the Rams 514 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 1: are kicking from deep in their own territory where they 515 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: got to make sure they'll keep guys in to block. 516 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: I could see you putting him out there standing on 517 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: the you know, thirty forty fifty yard line. If you 518 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 1: get that opportunity and then there's a safe kick, then 519 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 1: maybe you send Cedric Wilson out there and you just say, okay, 520 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 1: just catch it. Uh. And they've employed that before. I know. 521 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if John Fossil uh looks at it 522 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: that way or not, but I do think you'll you'll 523 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: utilize his ability to run with the football. Uh. You know, 524 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: I was expecting I was gonna say, I was I 525 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 1: was gonna say last night, I was expecting more sloppy 526 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 1: special team just because they can't practice it. But I 527 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 1: didn't see any glaring mistakes. Um. But I was sort 528 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: of expecting that because you know, while you can do 529 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 1: Levin on Levin, you do special teams. You're just going 530 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 1: down there and kind of brother lawing everything. You're not, 531 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: you know, tackling anybody or trying to break tackles or 532 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 1: block somebody to the ground. And this will no preseason. 533 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 1: This will be their first opportunity to do all this 534 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 1: and live football. You know when you when you do 535 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 1: when you try and have a good return in that situation, spags, 536 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: you really have to be careful. A holding penalty can 537 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 1: be very damaging on pump returns. So as much as 538 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 1: I'm looking for some superlatives from my returns specialist, I'd 539 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: love to just at times see some mistake free ball, 540 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 1: because when you put yourself in a hole after a 541 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 1: holding call and instead of starting somewhere around the thirty 542 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: five and now of a sudden, you're deep in your 543 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 1: own territory at the ten, that makes a big difference 544 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 1: in the drive. And these are the kind of things 545 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 1: that you really don't want. You don't want to really 546 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 1: test your offense right now in this type of situation. 547 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: You want you you want to win these games by 548 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: being smart and by making the plays that are open 549 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: to you. You want to be opportunistic. You don't want 550 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 1: to have to get up there and being in one 551 00:33:54,920 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 1: of those controlled chaotic environments right now, I think cowboys 552 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 1: need to be as even killed as possible with and 553 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: try to play as mistake free football as they can. 554 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 1: And you're talking about safe catches. According to what you 555 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 1: guys told me about Ceedee Lamb and how he catches 556 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,919 Speaker 1: that ball, I put him back there for us safe 557 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 1: catch as well. Wilson can stay over on the sidelines. 558 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,439 Speaker 1: If I have a guy who can catch the ball 559 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 1: like that, he's gonna be the one back there catching 560 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 1: the ball. I don't care where it is on the field, 561 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: you know. And last year, you know, you make a 562 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: good point on the penalties on punt returns because it 563 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 1: was almost fifty fifty if there would not be a 564 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,799 Speaker 1: holding call on the punt return. And I got to 565 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:42,760 Speaker 1: the point where it was like either catch it, fair catch, 566 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: no return, or just let the ball roll till it 567 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 1: stops because I'm tired of seeing holding penalties or blocking 568 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:55,320 Speaker 1: penalties on the return. And yeah, and you know, without 569 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,760 Speaker 1: being able to go full speed and do this stuff 570 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,880 Speaker 1: that very well could happen. So and that's serious penalty 571 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 1: because you negate whatever return yardage you get because you 572 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 1: start the ten yard loss from where you caught the ball. 573 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 1: So and sometimes it's a twenty thirty yard of Bill 574 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 1: Parcel's hidden yardage that takes place. And as Bill says, 575 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 1: I don't know, Hey, it's crunch time. When we come 576 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 1: back here on mix shots.

And then Saturday and Sunday? I 626 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:27,359 Speaker 1: get even better? All right? All right? Until now time 627 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:31,640 Speaker 1: for our picks to click, and Mickey, my pick to 628 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,719 Speaker 1: click this season for the Cowboys is a guy by 629 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,719 Speaker 1: the name of Tank Lawrence DeMarcus Lawrence I think is 630 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 1: going to have a huge season, and as we kick 631 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 1: off this segment, DeMarcus Lawrence probably is a pretty happy man, 632 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 1: isn't he right about now? Well, that's a good point there, Bill, 633 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:54,920 Speaker 1: because they just turned fifteen million dollars of his base 634 00:38:55,000 --> 00:39:00,239 Speaker 1: salary into a restructured signing bonus. So instead of Evan 635 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 1: to wait the entire year to get paid his sixteen 636 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:08,839 Speaker 1: point nine million dollars base salary in seventeen installments, they 637 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:14,320 Speaker 1: just handed him fifteen million dollars in signing bonus, reduced 638 00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:18,280 Speaker 1: his base salary to one point nine million, his cap 639 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,880 Speaker 1: hit to nine point nine million, and then they spread 640 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:26,239 Speaker 1: that signing bonus over the next five years of his contract, 641 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:31,600 Speaker 1: so three million a year to create more money available 642 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 1: in the cap this year that they can use. He 643 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:39,399 Speaker 1: created twelve million more and that if you don't use 644 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,440 Speaker 1: it this year, you can put it in the pile 645 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:45,759 Speaker 1: for twenty twenty one, when there's an expectation of the 646 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:49,239 Speaker 1: salary cap going down because the downturn of revenue with 647 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 1: teams not having fans in the stands or the majority 648 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 1: of the teams not having any fans in the stands 649 00:39:56,080 --> 00:40:00,400 Speaker 1: because of the COVID, so they did put a ceiling 650 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:04,919 Speaker 1: on the drop in in league revenue for the cap 651 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 1: at one hundred and seventy five million. So say it's 652 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy five and you roll over twenty 653 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:12,680 Speaker 1: you get it back too close to where it was, 654 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:18,719 Speaker 1: or is I should say this year? Okay, as far 655 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,160 Speaker 1: as this game, let's start with this game and then 656 00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,959 Speaker 1: we'll we got five minutes left here, so I want 657 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 1: here's what I want. I want your pick for the 658 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:30,920 Speaker 1: game and your picks to click in this game, and 659 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,040 Speaker 1: then we're gonna do it for the season. How about that? 660 00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:36,319 Speaker 1: So okay, so it's a sort of rapid fire here. Ever, 661 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 1: since let's you want to start here, start us off 662 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 1: with who's gonna win this game? Give us a score 663 00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,760 Speaker 1: and maybe a key to victory and a pick to click. 664 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:49,000 Speaker 1: You're talking the Cowboys game, of course, Cowboys righting Cowboys Browns. 665 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:55,799 Speaker 1: I'm looking for play this week. Grambling is Gramblings playing 666 00:40:55,840 --> 00:41:00,359 Speaker 1: in the spring. I'm sorry, I think we're talking Cowboys there. Yeah, 667 00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 1: so I'm looking for the game. I think the Cowboys 668 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,760 Speaker 1: will control the game. Let's go with the store a score. 669 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:12,960 Speaker 1: I would say twenty four to ten Cowboys win. And uh, 670 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:14,960 Speaker 1: the guy that I think could stand out in this game, 671 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:16,440 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have a great year as well, 672 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,160 Speaker 1: Michael Gallup. I think Michael Gallup is gonna really stand 673 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:24,200 Speaker 1: out this year. He's gonna continue his improvement from over 674 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,800 Speaker 1: last year. Is a great year last year. So yeah, 675 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,480 Speaker 1: that's my that's it for me. You see how very 676 00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:31,400 Speaker 1: good Mickey. I'll go ahead and give him. I'll give him, 677 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,040 Speaker 1: I'll give mine and will I thought you already gave 678 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,759 Speaker 1: us DeMarcus. I thought you already gave us DeMarcus Lure. 679 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:41,279 Speaker 1: Oh no, that's for the season, Okay. I got I 680 00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 1: picked to win the game. I'm picking the Cowboys to 681 00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,000 Speaker 1: win a pretty high scoring game. I'll go thirty to 682 00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:50,520 Speaker 1: twenty seven, and I got the former Ram Greg zerline 683 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 1: kicking the game winning field goal as time expired. Thirty 684 00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:58,640 Speaker 1: to twenty seven, Cowboys win. You had to be dramatic, 685 00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,400 Speaker 1: didn't your bill? You just it's also got to have 686 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 1: a storyline with it. My storyline and my pick to click, 687 00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:11,319 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with I'll go with Everson Griffin in 688 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:15,480 Speaker 1: this game that we'll see some big time plays from 689 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:21,440 Speaker 1: Everson Griffin matched up against thirty eight year old Andrew Whitworth. Interesting. Interesting. 690 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:25,760 Speaker 1: So either you either you listen to my fan report 691 00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:30,279 Speaker 1: prediction at twelve twenty or twelve thirty. I did not 692 00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 1: or worth or worth thinking alike. We have a lot 693 00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:40,200 Speaker 1: of nations, right because I predicted that Greg Zerline would 694 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,239 Speaker 1: kick the winning field goal, a walk off field goal 695 00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,600 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys to win twenty four twenty one. And 696 00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,919 Speaker 1: the reason I picked twenty four twenty one twenty nine 697 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,120 Speaker 1: years ago. That was the last time I think I 698 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,680 Speaker 1: got one of these scores right, when the Cowboys beat 699 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:58,719 Speaker 1: the Redskins at RFK Stadium and I had predicted a 700 00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:02,359 Speaker 1: twenty four twenty one victory, right. I don't think I've 701 00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:06,640 Speaker 1: ever hit another one since, So watch out for that. 702 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 1: And as the pick to click in the game, I'm 703 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:18,040 Speaker 1: gonna go with one and unsuspected candidate Ezekiel Elliott. He's 704 00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:24,359 Speaker 1: gonna hilare him. He did that last year too, didn't he? Yes? 705 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:28,080 Speaker 1: He did? All right, there you go, it's good. I 706 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:32,680 Speaker 1: like that. Okay. As for the season, all right, First off, 707 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:36,520 Speaker 1: who wins the NFC East Cowboys Cowboys? I got the 708 00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:40,320 Speaker 1: Cowboys winning the NFC East and the trend will continue, 709 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,960 Speaker 1: which has gone for fifteen years, a different winner of 710 00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:46,520 Speaker 1: the NFC East every single year. All right, who are you? 711 00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,080 Speaker 1: Who are your Super Bowl teams? Ever since you had 712 00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,319 Speaker 1: you said you had a half of one when we 713 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,400 Speaker 1: started this show. You got it all figured out now? Yeah, 714 00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:59,600 Speaker 1: I do believe last year's disappointments is weighing heavily on 715 00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:04,080 Speaker 1: this team's mind. The Baltimore Ravens, I think they're gonna 716 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:07,919 Speaker 1: make it this year. I think Lamars is just gonna 717 00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:11,239 Speaker 1: improve even more. I think he's gonna be more in 718 00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:15,200 Speaker 1: tune with his wide receivers. That defense is always amazing. 719 00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,319 Speaker 1: Love the coach, of course, Harbor, you just can't do. 720 00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,520 Speaker 1: He's one of those guys that he'll do all he 721 00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,319 Speaker 1: can to get his team to the super Bowl, even 722 00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:28,480 Speaker 1: if it means going on fourth and five during the 723 00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,440 Speaker 1: first quarter of any game of every game. He's gonna 724 00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:36,320 Speaker 1: get there no matter what. So I say, Cowboys versus 725 00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:40,360 Speaker 1: Ravens in the Super Bowl and who wins Cowboys? Of course, 726 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,839 Speaker 1: I'll give your score. I'll give you a score. I'll 727 00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:47,759 Speaker 1: give your score. Cowboys win twenty to sixteen in the 728 00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:53,000 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I got you. Mark it down. Chris, which 729 00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:55,360 Speaker 1: is a kind of a throwback to the first Cowboys 730 00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:59,200 Speaker 1: Super Bowl ever when they lost to Baltimore sixteen to thirteen. 731 00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,400 Speaker 1: But this time they beat Baltimore, they get an extra 732 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,160 Speaker 1: touchdown and win in twenty twenty to sixteen. All Right, 733 00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,120 Speaker 1: Bob Lily, Bob Lily can hold onto his helmet this 734 00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,360 Speaker 1: time he doesn't have to throw it down the field 735 00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:17,319 Speaker 1: or at the TV screen. Okay, Mickey, you're turned quick. 736 00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:21,440 Speaker 1: Let's go. Uh Cowboys, I said they win the East. Uh, 737 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:25,160 Speaker 1: they make it the NFC title Game. They'll lose to 738 00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,480 Speaker 1: the Saints, and it'll be the Saints and the Chiefs 739 00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:35,839 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. And who ends Saints? All Right, 740 00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:38,520 Speaker 1: you got the Saints winning the Super Bowl. I've got 741 00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:41,759 Speaker 1: I'm a combination of both your picks. I've got the 742 00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,880 Speaker 1: Cowboys win in the East. The Cowboys go to the 743 00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,920 Speaker 1: Super Bowl and they play the Dallas Texans in the 744 00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:54,920 Speaker 1: Super Bowls despite how they looked last night. All right, 745 00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:58,520 Speaker 1: Texan and uh, and so we might as well, if 746 00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:00,759 Speaker 1: we're gonna keep drinking the cool we might as well 747 00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,840 Speaker 1: gulp it all down with my super Bowl cap on 748 00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:08,040 Speaker 1: on CBS eleven in Dallas, the Cowboys win the Super 749 00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:12,560 Speaker 1: Bowl over Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. There 750 00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:16,839 Speaker 1: you have it. We're on the record. I can look 751 00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:18,759 Speaker 1: at this at the end of the season, all right. 752 00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:22,760 Speaker 1: Enjoy the game, everybody, and we will see you again 753 00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,880 Speaker 1: on Monday to wrap it all up at one thirty 754 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:29,360 Speaker 1: Monday here on Mick Shots.
