The NFL and the AFL. 0:01:32.980 --> 0:01:36.179 The NFL was the senior league. It was the senior 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.160 pros versus the AFL. 0:01:38.180 --> 0:01:38.780 Okay. 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:39.940 The junior pros. 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:40.440 You know what? 0:01:40.500 --> 0:01:41.390 Senior pros. 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:43.410 I got to interrupt you guys. 0:01:43.450 --> 0:01:43.990 That's even better. 0:01:44.010 --> 0:01:44.230 Hold on. 0:01:44.270 --> 0:01:46.890 No, no, no. Excuse me, Everson.

Uh-oh. 0:01:53.550 --> 0:01:56.050 My feelings don't get hurt very often. Y'all know me, man. 0:01:56.070 --> 0:01:56.790 I got thick skin. 0:01:56.850 --> 0:01:57.050 Right? 0:01:57.110 --> 0:02:05.220 You're thick, bro. But. See, like I said, see? So, yesterday. Wait, 0:02:05.300 --> 0:02:07.340 is this black on black fire? No, no, not yet, 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:07.720 not yet. 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:09.370 It's not me? 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:10.340 Oh, no. 0:02:10.430 --> 0:02:11.530 No, so, no. 0:02:12.389 --> 0:02:17.310 Feelings hurt yesterday on air, right? Guys, you know y'all 0:02:17.330 --> 0:02:20.030 have this thing when y'all go back in time. 0:02:20.090 --> 0:02:22.550 And y'all talk about years. 0:02:23.210 --> 0:02:25.450 And y'all get to years and y'all talking deep and 0:02:25.510 --> 0:02:27.830 heavy into football and years that I was still getting 0:02:27.889 --> 0:02:29.669 burped and put down for marriage. 0:02:30.220 --> 0:02:30.940 I have nothing. 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:33.240 But I play the role very well. 0:02:33.300 --> 0:02:35.500 No, you don't. Yes, I do. You sit back and 0:02:35.540 --> 0:02:37.420 you don't. 0:02:37.620 --> 0:02:41.970 I watch myself on camera in those moments try to 0:02:42.030 --> 0:02:44.670 stay attentive, right, and listen. 0:02:44.970 --> 0:02:45.889 Not fall asleep. 0:02:46.470 --> 0:02:47.150 Not fall asleep. 0:02:47.190 --> 0:02:51.970 It looks like I'm soaking up something. But yesterday I 0:02:51.990 --> 0:02:53.190 was hosting for you, Bill. 0:02:53.210 --> 0:02:53.330 Yep. 0:02:54.340 --> 0:02:58.630 And we're having a conversation, and Mickey Spagnuolo turns to 0:02:58.690 --> 0:03:01.609 me and says, Dixon. 0:03:01.310 --> 0:03:04.260 Edwards, 92, Super Bowl Cowboy. 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:05.980 Okay, okay. And I said. 0:03:07.090 --> 0:03:10.110 Come on, Mickey. You don't think I know who Dixon 0:03:10.150 --> 0:03:10.889 that was is. 0:03:11.169 --> 0:03:12.410 Now, I understand. 0:03:12.710 --> 0:03:15.720 When you go back to 71, my mom didn't have 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:18.720 a driver's license in 71, Mickey, so I can't even. 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.020 There's nothing. I got nothing. 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:25.010 But Russell Maryland, Tony Tobler, I could go through the 0:03:25.490 --> 0:03:28.550 90s cowboys. There's a cutoff period. And I will tell 0:03:28.590 --> 0:03:30.739 you when the cutoff period is when you get to it. 0:03:30.810 --> 0:03:32.570 I don't know exactly where it is yet. 0:03:32.730 --> 0:03:33.570 Is it Everson Walsh? 0:03:33.610 --> 0:03:34.630 Is that the cutoff? 0:03:34.690 --> 0:03:37.650 I think I start. Yes, I'm there. I am there. 0:03:37.910 --> 0:03:40.560 I am there. I think so, right? 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:41.420 89 or 81? 0:03:41.420 --> 0:03:44.340 81. 81. 81. 89. 0:03:44.340 --> 0:03:46.920 I'm there. But come on, Mickey. 0:03:47.220 --> 0:03:51.860 So you probably didn't know what he said is what I. 0:03:51.820 --> 0:03:53.600 Was pointing out. It wasn't who he was. 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:56.710 I can tell you one thing he said. Whenever he 0:03:56.750 --> 0:03:58.770 said whatever it is you're saying he said, he also 0:03:58.810 --> 0:03:59.770 said a you know in there. 0:03:59.790 --> 0:04:00.250 That's right. 0:04:00.430 --> 0:04:06.220 And that was the story. 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.460 That was the story. 0:04:08.500 --> 0:04:11.480 I'm assuming at what? 11 years old? 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:11.540 92. 0:04:11.510 --> 0:04:11.570 11? 0:04:11.540 --> 0:04:12.380 Yes, or so. 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.440 See, I got it. At 11 years old, you probably 0:04:15.500 --> 0:04:17.839 weren't reading what Dixon Edwards was doing. 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:18.710 So you remember Super Bowl XXV? 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:18.820 No. 1990? 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:18.860 No. 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:26.780 You're the Giants Super Bowl? Yeah. 0:04:26.900 --> 0:04:27.400 Hell yeah. 0:04:27.420 --> 0:04:29.620 I remember. I didn't know it was 25. 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:31.479 We just don't remember the numbers. 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:33.500 We remember 27, 28, and 20. Come on, man. Pepper Johnson. 0:04:34.100 --> 0:04:34.420 Morris. 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:37.220 Are you kidding me? Ah, man. That's what I'm saying. 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:38.050 Come on, guys. 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:39.080 Scott Norwood. 0:04:41.190 --> 0:04:44.550 Since you brought it up, and I said, Quinnen Williams 0:04:44.690 --> 0:04:50.230 must have said execute at least 30 times, the TV station, 0:04:50.290 --> 0:04:52.520 whoever had it last night, Did it. 0:04:52.529 --> 0:04:53.000 They counted it. 0:04:53.029 --> 0:04:54.150 They got 32. 0:04:54.150 --> 0:04:54.989 Wow. 0:04:55.310 --> 0:04:57.550 Executes in five, not quite six minutes. 0:04:57.570 --> 0:05:00.330 Why would you interview someone that long? 0:05:01.290 --> 0:05:02.850 No, he said him so rapid fire. 0:05:02.950 --> 0:05:03.170 No. 0:05:03.410 --> 0:05:08.150 In fact, if you would watch my TV station on 0:05:08.350 --> 0:05:13.050 the previous night, we had 32-second sound bite where there 0:05:13.089 --> 0:05:18.710 were nine of them in 32 seconds. So that's how 0:05:18.730 --> 0:05:20.430 you can get 32 in a short. 0:05:20.450 --> 0:05:22.900 Every answer he had was about execute. 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:25.479 We had nine executes in 32 seconds. 0:05:25.500 --> 0:05:26.360 Some wise men. Right? 0:05:27.170 --> 0:05:30.670 And that was a way to avoid the answer or 0:05:31.390 --> 0:05:35.430 answer the question without, you know, he voided the truth, right? 0:05:36.270 --> 0:05:39.150 I thought maybe that wasn't all one question. 0:05:39.310 --> 0:05:39.850 No, no. 0:05:40.029 --> 0:05:43.109 That's still a long interview. 0:05:43.510 --> 0:05:45.010 Yes. That's a long interview. 0:05:45.070 --> 0:05:48.330 No, and he usually does that on Thursday. 0:05:48.410 --> 0:05:50.430 I mean, he's probably a five-minute interview or something. 0:05:50.670 --> 0:05:53.340 And he does it instead. 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:54.940 Of in front of everybody. So that's why he says 0:05:55.140 --> 0:05:55.940 execute so many times. 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:56.400 Yeah. 0:05:56.620 --> 0:05:57.660 To just prolong. 0:05:57.680 --> 0:05:59.060 He was avoiding everything. 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:00.960 No, he's trying to get to that five-minute. 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:02.510 No, that's what Parcells used to do. 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:04.680 But for those of you who don't remember what the 0:06:04.740 --> 0:06:07.099 ticket used to do 30 years ago, they had the 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:10.650 you-know king, and Dixon Edwards was the you-know king. And 0:06:10.710 --> 0:06:13.730 he did more you-knows in the span of 32 seconds 0:06:13.790 --> 0:06:16.950 than the nine that Quinn and Williams did the other day. 0:06:17.029 --> 0:06:18.570 And sometimes he doubled down. 0:06:18.589 --> 0:06:19.130 You know, you know. 0:06:19.290 --> 0:06:19.990 You know, you know. 0:06:21.010 --> 0:06:23.270 I mean, you could go three you knows in three seconds. 0:06:23.290 --> 0:06:24.610 He was uncomfortable. 0:06:24.690 --> 0:06:26.830 Is he talking to two people when he said that? No, no. 0:06:26.950 --> 0:06:30.310 It was all of us. He was uncomfortable when he 0:06:30.330 --> 0:06:33.830 was asked. He was asked about his contract. He got 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:34.599 a big raise. 0:06:34.650 --> 0:06:34.890 Yes. 0:06:35.380 --> 0:06:37.940 And he didn't want to talk about it. So that's 0:06:38.020 --> 0:06:40.659 when the you knows started coming out because he was 0:06:40.740 --> 0:06:44.840 trying to avoid having to talk about it, right? 0:06:46.510 --> 0:06:48.290 So anyway. Execute. Oh, darn. 0:06:48.350 --> 0:06:49.479 I thought it was your fault. 0:06:50.010 --> 0:06:50.480 Execute. 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:52.100 Execute. 0:06:52.260 --> 0:06:53.140 Execute is the word. 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:54.140 Yep. Execution. 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:56.900 I think Shottie used it this morning at one point. 0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:58.000 I heard execute. 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.960 Well, as long as they're listening. As long as they're listening. 0:07:02.050 --> 0:07:03.150 I mean, the players on the field. 0:07:03.230 --> 0:07:07.250 Apparently they are because they're taking exactly what Schottenheimer is 0:07:07.270 --> 0:07:10.390 saying about execution and then It is echoing through the 0:07:10.450 --> 0:07:11.770 locker room. 0:07:11.810 --> 0:07:13.210 But as I said yesterday. 0:07:13.230 --> 0:07:17.070 Sounds like politics. Just take a narrative and run with it. 0:07:17.210 --> 0:07:22.150 When somebody asked Christian Parker about communication problems, and he goes, 0:07:22.210 --> 0:07:30.050 sometimes communication is used to overlook what the real problem is. 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:33.480 And then when he talked about the 63-yard run, and 0:07:33.500 --> 0:07:36.450 he was analyzing it, and he said, Yeah, there were 0:07:36.510 --> 0:07:38.610 a lot of people at the scene of the crime. 0:07:38.630 --> 0:07:41.480 Yeah, that was a good one. I liked that one. Yeah. 0:07:41.660 --> 0:07:43.940 So he has a sense of humor. Or was he 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:44.640 trying to be funny? 0:07:45.100 --> 0:07:46.680 I don't think so. 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:47.960 Or maybe sending a message. 0:07:48.140 --> 0:07:49.300 Yeah. 0:07:50.460 --> 0:07:53.950 And I mentioned it on the walk-off with Schottenheimer today, 0:07:54.490 --> 0:07:57.050 and he kind of laughed because he hadn't heard it. 0:07:57.130 --> 0:08:00.030 And he goes, yeah, and nobody got the burglar. 0:08:02.330 --> 0:08:04.650 He escaped right through the hole. Yeah. 0:08:05.380 --> 0:08:10.290 But sometimes it can be a communication problem, which brings 0:08:10.370 --> 0:08:13.630 me to the Trey McBride touchdown. 0:08:14.010 --> 0:08:14.590 Yes. 0:08:14.690 --> 0:08:17.150 Do we know what happened on the Trey McBride touchdown 0:08:17.170 --> 0:08:18.450 where he was wide open? 0:08:18.530 --> 0:08:23.640 My understanding is Agent O didn't follow through with what 0:08:23.660 --> 0:08:24.660 he was supposed to do. 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:25.480 No. 0:08:26.180 --> 0:08:27.510 Here's my understanding on it. 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:28.040 Okay. 0:08:28.340 --> 0:08:31.940 It was a communication issue. He heard one thing and 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:32.609 it was another. 0:08:32.910 --> 0:08:33.069 Hmm. 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:34.560 How is that? 0:08:34.780 --> 0:08:36.520 Like what the call was. What the call was. 0:08:36.580 --> 0:08:39.280 He thought. He thought. Wait a minute. 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:40.439 I'm sorry. This is. 0:08:40.900 --> 0:08:41.059 Yep. 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:42.260 He's the green dot. 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:47.810 Right. Okay. But that's what. Shamar. 0:08:47.970 --> 0:08:48.950 Shamar had the green dot. 0:08:49.190 --> 0:08:49.650 Okay. 0:08:49.670 --> 0:08:54.190 So whatever the call was, he heard a word and 0:08:54.230 --> 0:08:56.910 it was a different word. And so that's why he. 0:08:57.130 --> 0:08:57.410 Okay. 0:08:57.809 --> 0:09:01.329 Let him release. Which brings me back to. 0:09:01.510 --> 0:09:05.220 So one is burglar and the other is burger? I 0:09:05.260 --> 0:09:05.559 don't know. 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:07.819 It sounds like maybe they need to put the wording 0:09:07.860 --> 0:09:09.460 where it's. 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:14.100 Not so similar. But I don't know. This is burglar. No, 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:15.059 this is burger. 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:16.900 Which brings me to. 0:09:16.980 --> 0:09:18.780 Semantics. 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:24.900 Mickey's, in particular, his pet peeve are the PFF grades. 0:09:25.780 --> 0:09:29.660 So what do you think the players got that were 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:36.030 near that play, what grade they got from PFF. Oversham, 0:09:36.050 --> 0:09:37.370 was it P.J. Locke was the safety? 0:09:37.590 --> 0:09:38.410 Yes. Okay. 0:09:38.990 --> 0:09:43.370 What grade do you think that PFF gave P.J. Locke 0:09:43.490 --> 0:09:45.530 on that when there's a wide open? 0:09:45.550 --> 0:09:48.200 I don't know, but to me, I thought it was 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:48.520 his man. 0:09:48.940 --> 0:09:49.780 Right, exactly. 0:09:49.820 --> 0:09:51.300 So I bet you. 0:09:51.540 --> 0:09:53.840 And so that's what their computer thought too. 0:09:54.500 --> 0:09:57.610 I bet you, you know, because his PFF grade was low, 0:09:57.690 --> 0:09:59.750 I bet you he got marked off for that play. 0:10:00.140 --> 0:10:02.120 and had nothing to do with him. 0:10:02.300 --> 0:10:03.599 Yeah. 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:08.090 And that goes back to how oftentimes that things happen 0:10:08.190 --> 0:10:10.590 on the field that We watch, and we have no 0:10:10.670 --> 0:10:11.790 idea whose fault it was. 0:10:11.970 --> 0:10:14.770 Guys, we're getting on thin ice by trying to discredit 0:10:14.809 --> 0:10:17.750 PFF because we're going to be using it here pretty soon. 0:10:17.860 --> 0:10:21.460 Unnecessarily. Right. Not out of my mind. I was going 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:23.959 to say, unnecessarily we're using it, yes. 0:10:24.020 --> 0:10:25.839 We'll use it to fill up a segment. 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:27.020 That's what we do. 0:10:28.260 --> 0:10:28.750 With it, yes. 0:10:29.130 --> 0:10:29.970 Repeat errors. 0:10:30.330 --> 0:10:33.370 We're repeating the same error on tight ends. How many 0:10:33.410 --> 0:10:36.969 games can you go back and see where a tight 0:10:37.090 --> 0:10:40.930 end is victimizing this team, linebackers or safeties in the flag? 0:10:40.980 --> 0:10:44.580 It looked as if the safety got over there late. 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:46.900 That's the way I saw it. And when you saw 0:10:46.940 --> 0:10:50.400 the outside release of the tight end, I mean, he 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:52.939 released into the route. It was almost like an out 0:10:53.020 --> 0:10:55.520 route as opposed to just a flag route, so to speak, 0:10:55.780 --> 0:10:56.770 to the back of the end zone. 0:10:57.370 --> 0:10:58.210 And so I don't know. 0:10:59.350 --> 0:11:01.110 Was the corner supposed to come off? 0:11:01.190 --> 0:11:01.890 Was it man? 0:11:01.910 --> 0:11:06.050 No, because Overshawn picked him up and they bumped. 0:11:06.370 --> 0:11:06.590 Yeah. 0:11:06.910 --> 0:11:07.830 And then he just looked. 0:11:07.950 --> 0:11:12.090 I thought Overshawn was bumping him. Passing him off. And 0:11:12.150 --> 0:11:13.610 looking at the one receiver. 0:11:13.630 --> 0:11:16.470 That's what he thought. There was no other receiver there. 0:11:16.670 --> 0:11:19.590 Yeah, well, he was being covered by the corner. 0:11:19.630 --> 0:11:22.290 He was running a drag. He was running a shallow. 0:11:22.309 --> 0:11:22.670 Yeah, yeah. 0:11:22.710 --> 0:11:24.929 They called it a Z. And the corner was going 0:11:25.610 --> 0:11:28.720 with him. The corner stayed with him. 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:30.520 Yeah, right. He lined up over him and he stayed 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:30.800 with him. 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:31.020 Right. 0:11:31.260 --> 0:11:35.160 So the linebacker shoves the two receiver and you automatically 0:11:35.179 --> 0:11:37.340 look to one to see if he's coming inside. But 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:40.200 if it's man-to-man, that's not happening. So it seems like 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:43.140 some are playing man-to-man and some are playing zone. And 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:46.900 you're saying that Overshawn should have stayed with him. 0:11:46.940 --> 0:11:48.800 That's what you're saying. He should have stayed with him. 0:11:49.140 --> 0:11:49.319 Right. 0:11:49.340 --> 0:11:51.490 So that's basically a two-man type of thing. 0:11:51.500 --> 0:11:52.770 Because he went outside. 0:11:52.830 --> 0:11:53.609 All the way. Right away. 0:11:53.950 --> 0:11:56.689 There was space forever between the safety. 0:11:56.890 --> 0:11:57.950 And with the. 0:11:57.670 --> 0:12:01.050 Safety coming over late as well. The safety was late 0:12:01.130 --> 0:12:01.610 coming over. 0:12:01.630 --> 0:12:02.990 By the time he saw it, yeah. 0:12:03.230 --> 0:12:06.230 No, I mean, even as it was run, you saw 0:12:06.290 --> 0:12:09.400 him drifting. He should have already been over here if 0:12:09.420 --> 0:12:10.319 you're going to be covering. 0:12:10.540 --> 0:12:11.980 If that was his response. 0:12:12.020 --> 0:12:14.319 Yeah, so what do you think it was? 0:12:14.700 --> 0:12:18.400 He just said it. Overshown did not hear what the 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:18.900 coverage was. 0:12:20.059 --> 0:12:21.030 So, was this a. 0:12:21.190 --> 0:12:22.570 Did he have help in the back? 0:12:23.210 --> 0:12:25.630 Here's what I'm saying. Was this a two-man? 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:28.199 I have no idea what the coverage was. All I 0:12:28.260 --> 0:12:31.540 know is He heard a coverage, and it was the 0:12:31.580 --> 0:12:34.140 wrong coverage that he heard. And so he did not. 0:12:34.380 --> 0:12:34.780 It was his. 0:12:34.820 --> 0:12:35.420 Let's assume. 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:38.180 I'm wondering what everyone else was. Let's assume. That's my question. 0:12:38.300 --> 0:12:39.439 What was everyone else running? 0:12:39.460 --> 0:12:40.610 There was nobody there. 0:12:41.230 --> 0:12:43.250 What was everyone else running? 0:12:43.290 --> 0:12:44.350 Let's assume it was two men. 0:12:44.890 --> 0:12:46.110 I'm going to say. 0:12:46.130 --> 0:12:49.349 But even so, it would be hard for the safety 0:12:49.370 --> 0:12:51.969 to cover that because you already pushed him outside of 0:12:52.010 --> 0:12:52.870 the safety's purview. 0:12:52.970 --> 0:12:55.969 That's why it was his responsibility that he didn't hear. 0:12:55.990 --> 0:12:56.910 There you go. Right. 0:12:58.250 --> 0:13:00.310 I think everyone else was doing what they were supposed 0:13:00.350 --> 0:13:03.570 to do, and he didn't hear the right coverage, and 0:13:03.630 --> 0:13:05.250 so that's why there was a bust. 0:13:06.390 --> 0:13:06.750 Okay. 0:13:06.970 --> 0:13:07.910 I got good news, guys. 0:13:07.970 --> 0:13:08.910 Got the bottom of that. 0:13:09.370 --> 0:13:13.910 Tyler Warren is a tight end for Indiana. 0:13:13.929 --> 0:13:16.010 You don't give him big grades? 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:17.980 No, no, no. 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:20.440 Please give him good grades so we can respect him 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:21.540 and not have trouble. 0:13:21.540 --> 0:13:23.240 34 receptions, 231 yards, and two touchdowns. 0:13:25.970 --> 0:13:28.189 I'm just giving you the stats on one Tyler Warren, 0:13:28.450 --> 0:13:29.490 a first-round draft pick. 0:13:29.510 --> 0:13:31.760 By the way, in 2025 out of Penn State. Penn State, wow. 0:13:31.940 --> 0:13:35.500 Yes, sir. I remember him. Yeah, he was a baller. 0:13:35.660 --> 0:13:38.120 Tyler Warren. He was a baller. Yeah, so. 0:13:38.580 --> 0:13:41.370 Speaking of tight ends, they were all on the field 0:13:41.650 --> 0:13:42.910 ready to practice today. 0:13:43.370 --> 0:13:43.890 Including? 0:13:44.210 --> 0:13:49.089 Ferguson, Overshawn, Ford, Mitchell, and Trigg. 0:13:50.070 --> 0:13:50.210 So. 0:13:51.540 --> 0:13:54.480 That was a good sign, and we'll see what their 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:55.580 participation was. 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:58.470 The bad sign was that Ferguson was a DNP yesterday 0:13:58.490 --> 0:13:59.010 in practice. 0:13:59.370 --> 0:14:02.050 Well, but he was out there with a helmet on 0:14:02.250 --> 0:14:06.969 and rehabbing. Today, when they were in individual drills, he 0:14:07.050 --> 0:14:13.540 was participating, as was Overshawn, as was Porter, as was Locke. 0:14:14.540 --> 0:14:15.900 Who else do you want me to tell you about? 0:14:15.940 --> 0:14:16.300 No downs. 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:17.260 Porter was out. 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:18.820 Downs? Oh, yeah. Downs? 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:18.910 Yes. 0:14:19.140 --> 0:14:19.400 Yes. 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:23.220 More so than he was yesterday at that time. 0:14:23.250 --> 0:14:23.880 Okay, okay. 0:14:24.380 --> 0:14:25.630 And I think this is. 0:14:25.590 --> 0:14:28.230 Their– I told you yesterday he was going to play. 0:14:28.310 --> 0:14:30.410 This is their final– He did. 0:14:31.010 --> 0:14:33.770 That was our– Inside of training. Yeah, that's what we 0:14:33.790 --> 0:14:34.550 got from the. 0:14:34.530 --> 0:14:35.390 That's why I'm surprised. 0:14:35.410 --> 0:14:37.380 We finally got something from the coach's show. 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:41.400 He had to return today without any side effects from 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:44.960 the physical activity they had Wednesday and Thursday. 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:45.160 Yeah. 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:48.430 And he was back out there today, so I would imagine– 0:14:48.660 --> 0:14:51.920 he passes the independent doctor's evaluation. 0:14:52.100 --> 0:14:55.020 And you realize how important this is for all these 0:14:55.060 --> 0:14:55.820 guys to be out there. 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:57.080 We've got to have some type of continuity. 0:14:57.100 --> 0:14:59.500 Especially for him because he wants to play against his brother. 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:01.580 Oh, yes. I didn't think about that one. 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:03.320 The whole key is whether his brother is still an 0:15:03.380 --> 0:15:05.000 Indianapolis Colt by Sunday. 0:15:05.300 --> 0:15:06.270 Well, I think he'll make it. 0:15:06.260 --> 0:15:07.210 It's Friday noon. 0:15:07.230 --> 0:15:09.730 Yeah, I think he'll make it. 0:15:09.770 --> 0:15:10.930 That's for all of these guys. 0:15:10.990 --> 0:15:12.590 I think that's what I like about it is the 0:15:12.650 --> 0:15:16.770 continuity that we need to have as we're going through 0:15:16.790 --> 0:15:19.830 these pains. of trying to learn this defense and trying 0:15:19.850 --> 0:15:24.840 to play it consistently. Having consistent personnel out there, to me, 0:15:25.300 --> 0:15:28.540 that bodes well for at least our recognition during the 0:15:28.580 --> 0:15:30.580 game and our performance. 0:15:30.740 --> 0:15:35.100 So yesterday, Porter went from full to limited. I bet 0:15:35.140 --> 0:15:39.140 he's back at full today. If he's limited, it's because 0:15:39.220 --> 0:15:42.090 they don't want him to overwork himself. 0:15:42.780 --> 0:15:45.060 He doesn't like the kind of guy that would do that. 0:15:45.260 --> 0:15:49.040 Limited means how many snaps they take, not that they're 0:15:49.180 --> 0:15:51.150 physically limited. 0:15:52.310 --> 0:15:53.030 Which is kind. 0:15:52.870 --> 0:15:56.150 Of like what we've seen from him in games, where 0:15:56.170 --> 0:15:58.210 he'll start the game and then he comes out of 0:15:58.230 --> 0:16:02.590 the game. So he becomes limited. His snaps become limited. 0:16:02.670 --> 0:16:05.090 He seems to be a very thirsty player. 0:16:05.150 --> 0:16:08.610 He's trying hard to work through this ankle thing. 0:16:08.630 --> 0:16:08.770 Yes. 0:16:09.590 --> 0:16:10.110 Overshawn. 0:16:10.130 --> 0:16:11.350 He knows how much we need this. 0:16:11.650 --> 0:16:15.050 Overshawn has been on the courts, not because of his hamstring, 0:16:15.130 --> 0:16:17.790 but his back. I think that's what they listed in 0:16:17.810 --> 0:16:18.150 them is. 0:16:18.210 --> 0:16:18.590 Same thing. 0:16:18.630 --> 0:16:19.530 Hamstring, back. 0:16:19.690 --> 0:16:21.340 Same thing. It all connects. 0:16:21.380 --> 0:16:24.600 He wasn't on there on Wednesday, Thursday. He was limited, 0:16:24.700 --> 0:16:28.520 but he was taking part in all the individual drills. 0:16:28.900 --> 0:16:32.250 So he seemed to be moving well. Matter of fact, 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:35.610 today might have been the first time once they broke 0:16:35.750 --> 0:16:40.210 from stretch, Into individual drills that Britt Brown didn't have 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:43.890 anybody on the resistance. I was going to go over 0:16:43.970 --> 0:16:46.190 and say, what are you, on vacation here? What's the deal? 0:16:46.650 --> 0:16:50.630 But he might not have caught my humor, so I resisted. 0:16:50.670 --> 0:16:51.450 That happens, Mick. 0:16:53.370 --> 0:16:59.140 You know, after the Arizona game, I think everything in 0:16:59.180 --> 0:17:01.760 my mind was, who is playing B for Dank Neal? 0:17:02.290 --> 0:17:04.490 every position because guys were going to be hurt and 0:17:04.510 --> 0:17:05.810 you didn't think you were going to get them back. 0:17:05.850 --> 0:17:09.410 So that's a sign, right, that maybe you get some 0:17:09.430 --> 0:17:11.870 of these guys back in what I think we all 0:17:11.930 --> 0:17:15.620 are calling a must-win game. For your psyche, your confidence, 0:17:15.660 --> 0:17:18.180 we started off the week talking about confidence. But this 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:19.420 is a must-win situation. 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:23.320 We've gone through the games, you know, where we're like, wow, 0:17:23.340 --> 0:17:25.610 I can't believe we're this bad. I mean, we can't 0:17:25.650 --> 0:17:27.929 have another one of those games. And I don't know 0:17:27.970 --> 0:17:30.919 about record-wise, but I think psyche more than anything. We 0:17:30.940 --> 0:17:32.520 have to show that we're a consistent team. 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:33.350 Right. 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:37.530 Even with the three quarters that we played, that last 0:17:37.910 --> 0:17:40.550 taste that we had in our mouths at that time, 0:17:40.609 --> 0:17:42.630 that's all we're tasting right now. 0:17:43.150 --> 0:17:44.790 I want to get back to tasting victory. 0:17:45.230 --> 0:17:46.230 It's the roller coaster. 0:17:46.430 --> 0:17:46.580 Yeah. 0:17:47.250 --> 0:17:51.830 It can't stay down. If the roller coaster stays down 0:17:51.970 --> 0:17:53.629 at some point, it's got to go back up. 0:17:53.670 --> 0:17:56.600 Well, yeah, if the roller coaster works. Right. Yeah, we 0:17:56.619 --> 0:17:57.520 got to have it working. 0:17:57.940 --> 0:17:59.800 And so this is the week to go. I'll tell 0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:03.020 you what. They had the music out there so loud 0:18:03.780 --> 0:18:06.300 it would have woke the dead. I swear to God. 0:18:06.420 --> 0:18:08.760 I heard it just now coming into the cafeteria. 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:11.680 And that was quiet compared to when they were stretching. 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:16.200 And everybody seemed to be in a really good mood. 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:19.980 There was no, oh, woes us. And I saw them 0:18:20.020 --> 0:18:24.110 do the, for what it's worth, the individual drills. Everybody 0:18:24.140 --> 0:18:26.250 had a pep in their step. They looked like they 0:18:26.290 --> 0:18:28.470 were attentive. They were trying hard. 0:18:28.710 --> 0:18:29.810 Did they hold up four fingers? 0:18:30.070 --> 0:18:34.010 I don't know. He said it. 0:18:34.350 --> 0:18:37.310 Oh, he know it. He know it. 0:18:37.730 --> 0:18:37.950 Right? 0:18:38.300 --> 0:18:39.090 Yeah, he know it. 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:42.199 No, no, just saying. All of that, you know, it's 0:18:42.260 --> 0:18:45.659 all the same, man. We have to re-energize ourselves. 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:51.480 Although last night when I was at the Louisville– Little 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:54.330 Elm game. I didn't see anybody put their forefeet. 0:18:54.390 --> 0:18:54.770 They did. 0:18:54.930 --> 0:18:58.010 You were not looking. That's the problem. No, that's a 0:18:58.050 --> 0:18:59.450 lie because they did. 0:19:01.550 --> 0:19:03.350 It's okay. It's okay. 0:19:03.590 --> 0:19:05.850 But you know what we haven't talked about? We haven't 0:19:05.890 --> 0:19:08.010 talked about Sauce Gardner versus CeeDee Lamb. 0:19:08.070 --> 0:19:09.929 And that's what we're going to do when we come back. 0:19:10.270 --> 0:19:12.730 Okay?

C.D. Lamb versus 0:21:51.430 --> 0:21:58.960 Sauce Gardner. George Pickens versus Mooney Ward. As soon as 0:21:59.040 --> 0:22:02.639 I said Mooney Ward and... Heckman had to ask, oh, 0:22:02.680 --> 0:22:04.080 you're talking about Charverius. 0:22:04.380 --> 0:22:04.590 Yeah. 0:22:05.010 --> 0:22:08.010 And, of course, where did he begin his NFL career? 0:22:09.410 --> 0:22:10.550 With the Dallas Cowboys. 0:22:10.750 --> 0:22:11.190 Okay. 0:22:11.470 --> 0:22:15.510 He was in training camp in 2018 with the Cowboys 0:22:15.730 --> 0:22:19.990 and impressed in camp with the Cowboys. But at the 0:22:20.030 --> 0:22:23.950 end of camp, August 30th of 2018, traded to the 0:22:23.990 --> 0:22:29.980 Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for offensive guard Parker Anger. 0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:31.920 Oh, wow. 0:22:32.400 --> 0:22:34.410 Who has not been in the league. I don't know 0:22:34.490 --> 0:22:37.449 if he was in the league September 30th of that year. 0:22:37.470 --> 0:22:39.109 I think immediately got injured. 0:22:39.410 --> 0:22:39.850 Okay. 0:22:39.970 --> 0:22:40.530 If I remember. 0:22:40.930 --> 0:22:46.149 All right. So anyway, Heckman then said he's got to 0:22:46.190 --> 0:22:49.060 be from the south with a nickname like Mooney. And 0:22:49.200 --> 0:22:49.919 sure enough. 0:22:50.060 --> 0:22:51.240 And a sister named what? 0:22:51.260 --> 0:22:52.540 And a sister named Muffin. 0:22:53.800 --> 0:22:56.520 And sure enough— I want to know when he became Mooney. 0:22:56.720 --> 0:22:57.920 Okay, I'm getting there. 0:22:57.980 --> 0:23:01.290 Because he was Travarius for as long as I can remember. 0:23:01.630 --> 0:23:02.210 Okay. 0:23:02.710 --> 0:23:06.330 Ward prefers— and this is off his Wikipedia page, so you 0:23:06.369 --> 0:23:07.010 know it's true. 0:23:07.230 --> 0:23:07.610 Oh, man. 0:23:08.030 --> 0:23:13.560 Ward prefers to go by his childhood nickname, Mooney, bestowed 0:23:13.619 --> 0:23:14.909 upon him by— His mom. 0:23:15.480 --> 0:23:15.860 His mom. 0:23:17.590 --> 0:23:20.490 The origin of the name is not known by Ward 0:23:20.630 --> 0:23:23.750 or his mother. Everybody in my family has got a nickname. 0:23:24.170 --> 0:23:27.260 Nobody gets called by their real name. It's just a 0:23:27.340 --> 0:23:29.080 Mississippi thing, I guess. 0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:31.100 No, it ain't just Mississippi. 0:23:31.660 --> 0:23:32.990 That's what his quote is. 0:23:33.000 --> 0:23:34.000 My mom named me Cubby. 0:23:34.740 --> 0:23:37.480 His quote was, it's just a Mississippi thing, I guess. 0:23:37.760 --> 0:23:38.420 So there you go. 0:23:38.840 --> 0:23:41.260 He was never Mooney here, by the way. 0:23:41.800 --> 0:23:43.200 Y'all just didn't know his nickname. 0:23:43.320 --> 0:23:44.860 Not in Kansas City either. 0:23:45.180 --> 0:23:49.020 Okay. I think he was probably. But Mooney Ward. Uh-huh. 0:23:49.100 --> 0:23:50.000 Sauce Gardner. 0:23:50.020 --> 0:23:50.660 Can he play? 0:23:51.380 --> 0:23:51.960 He all right. 0:23:52.080 --> 0:23:53.440 He's okay? Yeah, he all right. 0:23:53.640 --> 0:23:56.200 I mean, I think for a matchup like this, this 0:23:56.280 --> 0:24:00.510 is one where I think. You got to say I'm 0:24:00.630 --> 0:24:03.030 sorry to George Pickens in this game. 0:24:03.369 --> 0:24:04.310 Say you're sorry. 0:24:04.430 --> 0:24:07.300 And it's okay by force-feeding him in a game like 0:24:07.340 --> 0:24:08.260 this with DB. 0:24:08.280 --> 0:24:11.100 We used to force-feed him. Do it now. Do it now. 0:24:11.340 --> 0:24:13.619 Because I think now you get the opportunity in a 0:24:13.660 --> 0:24:15.780 situation where you know you got to put your best 0:24:15.800 --> 0:24:18.740 foot forward offensively. You got stagnant in your play calling. 0:24:18.980 --> 0:24:20.390 Don't let it happen in this game. 0:24:21.050 --> 0:24:22.889 You know, going back to. 0:24:24.330 --> 0:24:27.390 The tag that we put on him, You know, when 0:24:27.410 --> 0:24:30.889 you do something like that to a player, and I'm 0:24:30.910 --> 0:24:34.180 not saying it's a punishment or anything, but you delay 0:24:35.040 --> 0:24:38.699 his big payday and you say, hey, man, bite the 0:24:38.720 --> 0:24:40.580 bullet on this one for us. Okay, I'm going to 0:24:40.600 --> 0:24:42.850 do that. I think you kind of owe him something 0:24:43.470 --> 0:24:48.179 this season. because of this, when we say sacrifice, it's 0:24:48.780 --> 0:24:52.720 a sacrifice in comparison to a multi-year deal. Yes, he's 0:24:52.760 --> 0:24:54.540 making a lot of money on one year, but a 0:24:54.619 --> 0:24:57.020 multi-year deal is a whole other thing. If he gets 0:24:57.080 --> 0:25:00.540 hurt during this season, he has no recourse. That's why 0:25:00.619 --> 0:25:03.560 everyone wants the multi-year deal so it can be guaranteed. 0:25:03.780 --> 0:25:06.320 Just want to make sure that everyone understands that. But 0:25:06.380 --> 0:25:09.870 now he bit the bullet for us. Let's reward him. 0:25:09.930 --> 0:25:13.700 Let's continue to treat him as if he's the threat 0:25:14.060 --> 0:25:14.600 that C.D. 0:25:14.720 --> 0:25:15.500 Is, which he is. 0:25:17.600 --> 0:25:19.920 Would you like to know how Sauce Gardner got his nickname? 0:25:20.280 --> 0:25:20.639 Okay. 0:25:20.680 --> 0:25:25.540 Since we're on nicknames. 0:25:26.020 --> 0:25:30.260 He would get like three sriracha sauces and dip everything 0:25:30.400 --> 0:25:33.000 in it. My burger, my nuggets, and my fries back 0:25:33.040 --> 0:25:34.440 when he was like six years old. 0:25:34.500 --> 0:25:35.940 That's how you get sauce. 0:25:35.980 --> 0:25:41.230 That's how Ahmaud Gardner became Sauce Gardner. Ahmaud. And then 0:25:41.350 --> 0:25:44.070 when he started playing football, I had the moves. I 0:25:44.090 --> 0:25:47.109 was playing running back. I was saucy with the juke moves. 0:25:47.270 --> 0:25:47.869 Oh, yeah. 0:25:47.950 --> 0:25:48.990 He made that one. 0:25:49.030 --> 0:25:50.630 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:25:50.730 --> 0:25:53.510 I know. I bought the first one. The second one, 0:25:53.570 --> 0:25:54.439 he made that up. 0:25:54.869 --> 0:25:56.950 Do we have to get into Cubby again now? 0:25:57.109 --> 0:25:59.010 No, we don't. We do not. 0:25:59.050 --> 0:26:05.120 He credits his Little League football coach, Curtis Tails Harris, 0:26:06.380 --> 0:26:07.500 with the tails. 0:26:07.520 --> 0:26:07.619 Tails. 0:26:07.740 --> 0:26:08.060 Tails. 0:26:08.859 --> 0:26:09.480 Heads or tails. 0:26:09.900 --> 0:26:12.440 Because he– I don't know. I don't know. Anyway. Let's 0:26:12.460 --> 0:26:13.140 get off of that. 0:26:13.700 --> 0:26:15.560 It is a great match. I mean, if you're just 0:26:15.619 --> 0:26:18.220 looking at these two teams matching up against each other, 0:26:18.240 --> 0:26:24.760 CD and GP versus Sauce and Mooney is attractive matches. 0:26:24.780 --> 0:26:29.119 So are we looking at the Colts being mostly a 0:26:29.180 --> 0:26:30.619 defensive-minded team? 0:26:30.720 --> 0:26:31.830 Is that where their strength is? 0:26:32.810 --> 0:26:35.250 Because offensively it doesn't seem like any of the stats 0:26:35.290 --> 0:26:37.170 that I've been hearing you call out for many of 0:26:37.210 --> 0:26:40.010 the players– They've got to hang their hat on something. 0:26:40.050 --> 0:26:42.850 We obviously hang our hat on our offensive line, let's 0:26:43.250 --> 0:26:46.949 just say, and our offensive weapons. 0:26:47.170 --> 0:26:50.050 If Jonathan Taylor is going to get the full load 0:26:50.090 --> 0:26:53.330 for them on offense, then they should be hanging their 0:26:53.350 --> 0:26:57.910 hat on Jonathan Taylor, especially against this run defense. But defensively, 0:26:59.369 --> 0:27:02.130 outside of the two corners, I like Cam Byram, the 0:27:03.170 --> 0:27:06.930 safety as well, number zero. And, Mickey, would you like 0:27:07.010 --> 0:27:15.119 to pronounce the name of the guy who has four 0:27:15.300 --> 0:27:18.700 sacks up front for the Colts on defense? 0:27:19.020 --> 0:27:19.560 Double A. 0:27:21.080 --> 0:27:21.379 Come on. 0:27:21.400 --> 0:27:22.460 There you go. Come on, Bill. 0:27:22.700 --> 0:27:23.080 He's an A. 0:27:23.070 --> 0:27:24.850 Come on, Bill. Hit it. A-A. 0:27:25.970 --> 0:27:26.710 No, you got it. 0:27:27.869 --> 0:27:29.590 He's got to look it up because it's difficult. 0:27:29.609 --> 0:27:29.990 Where did I lose? 0:27:30.170 --> 0:27:31.190 Where did I write it down? Oh. 0:27:32.640 --> 0:27:33.260 Something war. 0:27:33.280 --> 0:27:34.699 I had to do it. I had to do it 0:27:35.660 --> 0:27:39.920 on the Cowboys huddle with Will McClay yesterday because he 0:27:40.359 --> 0:27:44.440 said he wanted to talk about Adetomawa Adabare. 0:27:44.960 --> 0:27:47.300 Adetomawa Adabare. What's the name? 0:27:47.400 --> 0:27:56.730 First name is spelled. First name is spelled A-D-E-T-O-M-I-W-A. 0:27:57.210 --> 0:27:57.630 Adetomawa. 0:27:57.670 --> 0:27:57.930 Wow. 0:27:58.830 --> 0:27:59.350 A-D-T? 0:28:00.050 --> 0:28:03.530 It's just like it's spelled, Adetomawa. They call him Tommy. 0:28:03.880 --> 0:28:04.990 What does it mean? 0:28:05.150 --> 0:28:08.740 That's got to mean something strong. 0:28:08.780 --> 0:28:09.600 God's breath. 0:28:09.800 --> 0:28:12.460 Adebare is A-D-E-B-A-W-O-R-E. 0:28:12.500 --> 0:28:14.260 By the way, his younger brother, P.J. 0:28:14.300 --> 0:28:16.140 Adebare, plays for OU. 0:28:16.300 --> 0:28:24.520 Nice. And you do that. 0:28:24.820 --> 0:28:28.490 I've got a long way to get to where you are. 0:28:28.950 --> 0:28:31.489 This is a guy who is 6'2, 282 pounds. He's 0:28:31.530 --> 0:28:35.410 getting more snaps now because of the trade of DeForest 0:28:35.450 --> 0:28:38.570 Buckner to San Francisco. At 282 pounds, he ran a 0:28:38.570 --> 0:28:40.170 4-4-9-40 at the combine, 27 bench reps, 10-5 broad jump, 0:28:40.190 --> 0:28:54.880 and 38-inch verticals. Yeah, that's what kind of athletic guy 0:28:54.900 --> 0:28:55.400 this is. 0:28:55.530 --> 0:28:56.130 Oh, my God. 0:28:56.180 --> 0:28:57.190 Number 95. Wait a minute. 0:28:57.250 --> 0:28:57.370 What? 0:28:57.390 --> 0:28:58.390 A 280-pound man? 282 pounds. He ran a 4.49 with 0:28:58.390 --> 0:29:00.190 27 bench reps, a 10.5 broad jump, and a 38-inch vertical. 0:29:11.540 --> 0:29:13.780 Could you see me racing that guy in my prime? No. 0:29:14.260 --> 0:29:16.219 No, I can see you getting– And he's beating me, 0:29:16.260 --> 0:29:16.620 him beating me. 0:29:16.640 --> 0:29:17.920 See, I'm chasing you down. 0:29:18.300 --> 0:29:19.360 You running Nate. 0:29:19.440 --> 0:29:23.270 They use him all along the defensive line, and he's 0:29:23.290 --> 0:29:25.740 just basically now coming into his own. In fact, this 0:29:25.870 --> 0:29:30.830 week they just signed him to a two-year $ 35 million contract. 0:29:30.850 --> 0:29:34.530 And because he's got four sacks, four tackles for losses, 0:29:34.770 --> 0:29:38.430 eight quarterback hits, and two passes defensed. 0:29:39.450 --> 0:29:42.840 I can tell. you about his brother at OU. We've 0:29:42.880 --> 0:29:45.500 been waiting for a couple of years for him to 0:29:45.540 --> 0:29:47.620 finally emerge because he's got the same kind of athleticism. 0:29:47.640 --> 0:29:49.560 That's all you better do is wait. You better not 0:29:49.600 --> 0:29:50.200 get rid of that. 0:29:50.940 --> 0:29:52.550 You better wait on that to happen. 0:29:52.590 --> 0:29:54.690 Just now this year is starting to emerge. 0:29:54.750 --> 0:29:55.790 And what's his first name? 0:29:57.010 --> 0:29:57.570 I don't know. 0:29:57.730 --> 0:29:58.300 It's P.J. 0:29:58.540 --> 0:29:58.690 P.J. 0:30:00.080 --> 0:30:00.880 I'm not even trying. 0:30:00.900 --> 0:30:01.980 You haven't tried that. 0:30:03.080 --> 0:30:06.700 But there's a guy to look for on the Indianapolis 0:30:06.900 --> 0:30:09.530 defense that the Cowboys offensive line is going to have 0:30:09.550 --> 0:30:12.710 to deal with. Will showed examples of him rushing inside, 0:30:13.030 --> 0:30:17.630 coming around Christian Darasol, one of the best left tackles. 0:30:18.710 --> 0:30:20.760 So they're moving around everywhere. 0:30:21.020 --> 0:30:21.240 Yeah. 0:30:21.280 --> 0:30:21.620 Right. 0:30:21.660 --> 0:30:21.800 Right. 0:30:22.750 --> 0:30:24.690 It's confusing, man, because you go in and you watch 0:30:24.710 --> 0:30:28.790 that Minnesota tape, and Minnesota and Indy defense, they were 0:30:28.830 --> 0:30:31.910 going head-to-head for four quarters. And then you go and 0:30:31.930 --> 0:30:35.590 turn on that Jacksonville tape, and it's a whole other 0:30:35.630 --> 0:30:38.170 team out there against Jacksonville. 0:30:38.190 --> 0:30:39.370 42-7. Yeah. 0:30:39.630 --> 0:30:42.860 I mean, Jacksonville had that. Trevor Lawrence looks real good. 0:30:43.150 --> 0:30:44.480 Jacksonville looks good. 0:30:45.240 --> 0:30:47.440 That tape, I'm just saying, just two different teams when 0:30:47.480 --> 0:30:49.760 you turn on the tape, and especially getting rid of 0:30:49.780 --> 0:30:50.360 DeForest Buckner. 0:30:50.380 --> 0:30:54.100 I don't care who you got. DeForest is– Well. 0:30:54.120 --> 0:30:56.510 And the other defensive tackle, Grover Stewart, is really good. 0:30:56.590 --> 0:30:59.510 Absolutely. That's why they were all in last year, right? 0:31:00.250 --> 0:31:03.950 Well, you go back a year ago, and with Daniel Jones, 0:31:04.330 --> 0:31:06.930 the first half of the year last year, they were 0:31:06.990 --> 0:31:08.490 like 8-1 to start the year. 0:31:08.520 --> 0:31:09.170 Yeah, that's what I'm saying. 0:31:09.210 --> 0:31:12.120 And then I think when he went down– They had 0:31:12.140 --> 0:31:15.020 lost a couple of games just prior to his Achilles injury. 0:31:15.380 --> 0:31:19.920 But they've now, since this time last year, they've lost 0:31:19.920 --> 0:31:21.190 13 out of 15 games. 0:31:21.230 --> 0:31:21.470 Wow. 0:31:21.670 --> 0:31:24.730 And the curious thing about Indy, going back, let's go 0:31:24.770 --> 0:31:28.610 back three years when they got Anthony Richardson, that he 0:31:28.650 --> 0:31:32.560 was the primary focus for Indy. I mean, you've got 0:31:32.580 --> 0:31:34.500 to give them credit. They made a quick decision. They 0:31:34.520 --> 0:31:36.260 were like, look, this ain't the way. We can't do 0:31:36.300 --> 0:31:38.320 it this way. They were mad at him from the get. 0:31:38.860 --> 0:31:39.000 Yeah. 0:31:39.660 --> 0:31:41.980 Disappointed you know with the fact that they he showed 0:31:42.000 --> 0:31:44.120 their promise but daniel jones called the time out or 0:31:44.160 --> 0:31:47.540 something didn't yeah he look he made some mistakes yeah. 0:31:47.280 --> 0:31:50.040 He was so limited with experience he did he barely 0:31:50.080 --> 0:31:51.460 played at all in florida. 0:31:51.300 --> 0:31:54.120 Yeah and in times he didn't play all that well 0:31:54.220 --> 0:31:58.890 either he wasn't a pure passer well they and they're. 0:31:58.770 --> 0:32:02.790 The ones that made his job a month ago basically. 0:32:03.110 --> 0:32:05.870 Well, let's just pray if Daniel Jones is out of 0:32:05.910 --> 0:32:09.910 this game, Anthony Richardson comes off the bench. 0:32:09.950 --> 0:32:13.489 You know who I like? 0:32:13.650 --> 0:32:19.390 I'm the only one on this planet. I'm the only 0:32:19.540 --> 0:32:22.460 one on this planet, but I really like Riley Leonard, 0:32:22.480 --> 0:32:25.160 their other quarterback. And he actually came off the bench 0:32:25.660 --> 0:32:27.500 late in the year last year, and he played well 0:32:27.620 --> 0:32:28.600 in the game that they. 0:32:28.700 --> 0:32:29.020 It was 17th. 0:32:31.100 --> 0:32:33.320 Game of the season against Houston last year. 0:32:33.340 --> 0:32:36.750 Well, bring us Anthony. Bring on Anthony. 0:32:37.450 --> 0:32:40.330 Anthony is ahead of Leonard on their depth chart. 0:32:40.370 --> 0:32:42.330 I think they had a decision all week on whether 0:32:42.370 --> 0:32:44.310 they were going to go with their backup quarterback over 0:32:44.330 --> 0:32:47.730 Daniel Jones after that Jacksonville game. 0:32:47.930 --> 0:32:49.840 Well, the other part of it, they signed him to 0:32:49.880 --> 0:32:54.780 a two-year extension, but now there's trade speculation about Daniel Jones. 0:32:55.720 --> 0:32:56.780 Everybody needs a quarterback. 0:32:56.800 --> 0:33:01.840 Whatever they come with, On Sunday, you have a running 0:33:01.880 --> 0:33:05.400 game that is an Achilles heel for us, number one. 0:33:05.540 --> 0:33:07.320 Number two, you have a hell of a defense. 0:33:07.380 --> 0:33:10.800 Especially some players on the defensive line that can make 0:33:10.840 --> 0:33:13.870 a big difference against our offensive line that's been struggling 0:33:14.570 --> 0:33:15.350 big time. 0:33:15.290 --> 0:33:16.030 For one game. 0:33:16.130 --> 0:33:17.230 Here's another thing to think. 0:33:17.110 --> 0:33:20.690 About, though. Let's just hope that it's only one game. 0:33:20.790 --> 0:33:24.630 One of the things that Daniel Jones did do when 0:33:24.690 --> 0:33:27.610 healthy was he had the ability to get a first 0:33:27.650 --> 0:33:30.209 down running the football. I don't know coming off his 0:33:30.270 --> 0:33:32.250 Achilles if he has this. 0:33:32.270 --> 0:33:33.860 That's not his ministry anymore. 0:33:33.950 --> 0:33:37.540 He doesn't have that mobility anymore. He doesn't want to 0:33:37.600 --> 0:33:40.620 try it probably coming off his Achilles injury. 0:33:40.940 --> 0:33:42.800 Taylor has eight rushing touchdowns. 0:33:42.920 --> 0:33:45.040 So, I mean, think about it from Indianapolis' perspective. They've 0:33:45.060 --> 0:33:46.760 got nothing to lose. They've lost four in a row. 0:33:46.800 --> 0:33:47.380 They're 2-6. 0:33:47.440 --> 0:33:49.080 And that's the most dangerous ones. 0:33:49.340 --> 0:33:52.290 Yeah. What about playing the quarterback who can run? 0:33:53.520 --> 0:33:53.940 Oh, no. 0:33:54.320 --> 0:33:56.980 Against the Cowboys, and you got Jonathan Taylor back there, 0:33:57.040 --> 0:33:58.780 run some zone briefs. 0:33:58.940 --> 0:33:59.770 Yeah, RPOs. 0:34:00.030 --> 0:34:02.690 They should hope they can hold them to 4.1 yards 0:34:02.770 --> 0:34:03.110 a carry. 0:34:04.070 --> 0:34:06.490 Well, I'm interested to see your picks to click because 0:34:06.530 --> 0:34:08.010 we're not going to get out of here feeling like 0:34:08.050 --> 0:34:10.750 it's about to be a funeral, guys. 0:34:10.770 --> 0:34:13.629 No, no, no, absolutely not. We ain't going to do 0:34:13.670 --> 0:34:14.330 that this week. 0:34:14.650 --> 0:34:17.290 And we probably need to get it done pretty quickly. 0:34:17.310 --> 0:34:18.810 We probably need to go to break because I'm sure 0:34:18.870 --> 0:34:20.770 Everson's got to get out of here to go somewhere. 0:34:20.790 --> 0:34:21.110 Nope. 0:34:22.390 --> 0:34:24.590 You should have heard him tell that man that lie yesterday. 0:34:24.630 --> 0:34:26.089 You missed it. You missed it. 0:34:26.190 --> 0:34:27.390 I heard it at the end. 0:34:27.489 --> 0:34:28.819 Oh, you heard it at the end. 0:34:28.840 --> 0:34:30.660 Did the refrigerator wait for you? 0:34:31.260 --> 0:34:32.439 Yeah.

Thank you, Everson Walls. 0:37:11.540 --> 0:37:12.460 You're very welcome. 0:37:12.540 --> 0:37:14.400 Very professionally done once again. 0:37:14.500 --> 0:37:18.560 Who needs AI? Who needs AI? Got you. 0:37:21.830 --> 0:37:23.669 What else, Mickey, do you need to tell us before 0:37:23.710 --> 0:37:25.850 we go around the horn with our picks to click? 0:37:26.090 --> 0:37:27.030 I was looking around. 0:37:28.010 --> 0:37:30.290 Should he have anything in his press conference an hour 0:37:30.310 --> 0:37:30.609 or so ago? 0:37:30.650 --> 0:37:33.610 Here's a guy we might have forgotten about that's practicing 0:37:33.650 --> 0:37:35.370 this week is Maris Leofau. 0:37:36.050 --> 0:37:39.930 It's about time for his window to be up, right? 0:37:40.770 --> 0:37:44.879 It's getting close. This is either the second or third week. 0:37:45.030 --> 0:37:48.239 I think it's the third. I think it's time. And 0:37:48.260 --> 0:37:49.600 with Malachi Lawrence out. 0:37:50.000 --> 0:37:52.239 They would have to put them on IR to open 0:37:52.260 --> 0:37:53.120 up a spot, right? 0:37:53.400 --> 0:37:56.820 And it sounds like that's why they were running tests 0:37:56.920 --> 0:38:00.800 all week to see. And for the coach to say 0:38:00.960 --> 0:38:01.960 a few weeks. 0:38:02.420 --> 0:38:03.820 Yeah. 0:38:04.020 --> 0:38:06.920 And when you also are looking at the next four 0:38:06.980 --> 0:38:11.299 games ends on Thanksgiving, so it's a shorter amount of 0:38:11.340 --> 0:38:13.430 time anyway for four games on IR. 0:38:13.590 --> 0:38:14.790 Are we that close already? 0:38:15.150 --> 0:38:19.439 Right. Because you've got Indy. San Francisco, Tennessee, I mean. 0:38:19.739 --> 0:38:21.080 And then Philadelphia, yeah. 0:38:21.180 --> 0:38:24.719 Four games is actually three weeks. And so he could 0:38:24.780 --> 0:38:29.100 be back. They could put Malachi on IR, and if 0:38:29.140 --> 0:38:32.700 his ankle's fine, he could be back the week after Thanksgiving. 0:38:32.920 --> 0:38:33.100 Right. 0:38:33.520 --> 0:38:36.450 So I would think that's exactly what's going to happen 0:38:36.469 --> 0:38:39.330 for sure, that Malachi will go on IR, which will 0:38:39.370 --> 0:38:41.930 open up his spot, and Leofal activated. 0:38:41.989 --> 0:38:45.290 The NFL needs to do like baseball and have retroactive 0:38:46.210 --> 0:38:47.229 uninjured reserve players. 0:38:49.800 --> 0:38:51.000 Okay, that was it? 0:38:51.620 --> 0:38:52.140 That was it. 0:38:52.320 --> 0:38:54.580 Okay. Oh, no, I was just trying to look at 0:38:54.620 --> 0:38:55.219 who I'm going to be. 0:38:56.120 --> 0:38:59.580 Oh, he's doing his last-minute studying here, and so I 0:38:59.600 --> 0:39:02.060 guess we need to kill more time for Everson. 0:39:03.440 --> 0:39:05.720 No, I'm ready. I'm ready. 0:39:06.000 --> 0:39:07.640 Believe it or not, I'm picking the same person I 0:39:07.680 --> 0:39:10.920 picked last week. He got an interception last week. I'm 0:39:10.940 --> 0:39:13.739 looking for him to even play even better. 0:39:14.820 --> 0:39:17.340 Well, remind us who you picked last week. 0:39:17.580 --> 0:39:18.260 Jamar James. 0:39:19.030 --> 0:39:19.470 Okay. 0:39:19.530 --> 0:39:22.110 Yeah, I picked James. Yeah, who wrote it down? I 0:39:22.140 --> 0:39:23.700 thought someone wrote it down. Mickey did. I did. 0:39:23.880 --> 0:39:24.000 Oh. 0:39:24.180 --> 0:39:25.779 Are you writing it down again this week? 0:39:25.800 --> 0:39:28.370 No, he's not. He's not writing it. No, I changed. 0:39:28.950 --> 0:39:30.640 He got an interception last week. week. 0:39:30.760 --> 0:39:33.919 I picked him last week. I'm picking him again this week. 0:39:34.739 --> 0:39:35.469 And that's what we need to do. 0:39:35.469 --> 0:39:36.190 We've got to stop the run. 0:39:36.210 --> 0:39:38.590 To change the fortunes of this team, we need to 0:39:38.650 --> 0:39:40.450 go ahead and write down our picks again. 0:39:40.969 --> 0:39:41.549 Is that what it is? 0:39:41.590 --> 0:39:41.910 Yeah. 0:39:41.950 --> 0:39:44.290 But when we were winning last year, well, I wouldn't. Nope, 0:39:44.370 --> 0:39:44.950 don't pick last year. 0:39:44.969 --> 0:39:47.650 All right, so Everson picks Shamar James. 0:39:47.950 --> 0:39:51.230 He had not only an interception but a pass defense, 0:39:51.310 --> 0:39:53.150 and he led the team with nine tackles. 0:39:53.390 --> 0:39:56.259 I said he would. I said he would last week. 0:39:56.540 --> 0:39:59.820 Let's take a moment and speak about Shamar James a 0:39:59.840 --> 0:40:04.100 little bit. This was in the offseason leading up to 0:40:04.120 --> 0:40:09.220 the season. He was the forgotten man in that linebacking core, 0:40:09.260 --> 0:40:12.360 especially with the drafting of Barham in the third round, 0:40:12.880 --> 0:40:16.480 with Overshawn coming back healthy, with winners coming in, and 0:40:17.300 --> 0:40:21.109 then also speculation about, oh, they've got to trade for somebody. 0:40:21.120 --> 0:40:23.950 They've got to shore it up. People forgot about Shamar James, 0:40:24.390 --> 0:40:27.549 and he just kept his nose to the grindstone, and 0:40:27.590 --> 0:40:31.879 then sure enough, after– Going through training camp and then 0:40:31.960 --> 0:40:34.640 into the season. We get a month or six weeks 0:40:34.700 --> 0:40:37.239 into the season. All of a sudden, Shemar James is 0:40:37.340 --> 0:40:41.080 not only getting snaps and playing, he's wearing the green dot. 0:40:41.140 --> 0:40:42.240 Wearing the green dot. 0:40:42.840 --> 0:40:44.890 And if you listen to this kid talk, and he's 0:40:44.950 --> 0:40:48.310 only 22 years old. You listen to him talk. One 0:40:48.330 --> 0:40:52.170 of the things that Schottenheimer talks about him that he 0:40:52.230 --> 0:40:54.910 really likes about him, and I'm sure Christian Parker does too, 0:40:55.630 --> 0:40:59.779 is the conviction that he plays with. He decides– And 0:40:59.840 --> 0:41:01.960 if you're going to play with a conviction, you better 0:41:01.980 --> 0:41:05.480 be prepared. You better know what you're doing. 0:41:05.640 --> 0:41:06.100 Exactly. 0:41:07.219 --> 0:41:09.620 And I think it's a key for a linebacker, too. 0:41:09.760 --> 0:41:12.620 If you've done the preparation and then you read and 0:41:12.640 --> 0:41:14.790 when you react, you can get there quicker. 0:41:14.550 --> 0:41:16.009 Than somebody else. And you know it. 0:41:16.070 --> 0:41:18.070 You know it. The thing about linebackers, they know it. 0:41:18.110 --> 0:41:22.350 The best linebackers that we've seen, once they make a move, there's. 0:41:22.190 --> 0:41:23.250 No stopping them. 0:41:23.660 --> 0:41:26.440 Singletary, you talk about any of the guys that you 0:41:26.460 --> 0:41:29.259 talk about, the guys with a motor, Ray Lewis, the 0:41:29.280 --> 0:41:32.200 guys with that motor, they're not just out there running wild. 0:41:32.280 --> 0:41:35.630 They know exactly what their teammates are doing, and they 0:41:35.670 --> 0:41:36.529 know just where. 0:41:36.430 --> 0:41:37.330 They're going to hit. 0:41:37.430 --> 0:41:38.170 Let me say this. 0:41:38.410 --> 0:41:41.490 Shamar James had 91 tackles last season, but I also 0:41:41.550 --> 0:41:44.670 think it was the signing of D winners that kind of, 0:41:45.270 --> 0:41:47.330 because of your expectation of what D winners would be 0:41:47.770 --> 0:41:50.469 in Christian Parker's system. Had a lot to do with that. But, 0:41:50.650 --> 0:41:54.050 I mean, look, Shamar James, I'm a big fan of his. 0:41:54.440 --> 0:41:56.960 Love the way that he's been leading through this this season. 0:41:57.820 --> 0:42:02.310 Pleasant surprise, right? But you absolutely need more from him. 0:42:02.640 --> 0:42:05.160 I mean, had an interception last week, but, man, you 0:42:05.200 --> 0:42:06.680 need more from him in that running game. 0:42:06.700 --> 0:42:07.320 No doubt. 0:42:07.400 --> 0:42:10.279 That's where I'm saying, you'll pick the click. If we 0:42:10.320 --> 0:42:13.200 come back and he's got eight stops, We turn it 0:42:13.260 --> 0:42:14.819 on the tape and those eight are at. 0:42:14.760 --> 0:42:16.770 The line of scrimmage or behind the line of scrimmage. 0:42:17.290 --> 0:42:18.149 And now you cooking. 0:42:18.170 --> 0:42:20.290 But you don't want them chasing anybody. No, I don't 0:42:20.430 --> 0:42:22.630 want them. After the tight end called a bad pass 0:42:22.770 --> 0:42:23.069 on them. 0:42:23.310 --> 0:42:25.850 A lot of those 91 tackles last year were like 0:42:25.850 --> 0:42:26.610 10 yards downfield. 0:42:26.630 --> 0:42:28.190 And that's what I'm saying. You can forget about a 0:42:28.210 --> 0:42:30.010 guy like that when you got seen. You know, he's 0:42:30.070 --> 0:42:32.800 a part of last year's crime scene. Now he's a 0:42:32.840 --> 0:42:35.459 part of the solution this year. Yeah, come on now. 0:42:35.900 --> 0:42:38.160 Let's not forget about that. No, no. 0:42:38.320 --> 0:42:40.980 But I think he's learning. I think what he did 0:42:41.060 --> 0:42:45.319 last week. Except for in a couple of plays. A 0:42:45.360 --> 0:42:46.069 couple of plays. 0:42:46.340 --> 0:42:48.550 The circle, you get out of here. I thought he 0:42:48.570 --> 0:42:49.010 did well. 0:42:49.070 --> 0:42:53.350 He's just as inconsistent as this defense is, but I 0:42:53.390 --> 0:42:56.470 think the best linebacker that we have on the team 0:42:56.910 --> 0:42:58.009 besides Agent Zero. 0:42:58.570 --> 0:43:00.690 And so I'm going with James. 0:43:00.730 --> 0:43:01.689 But he's on the field. 0:43:02.950 --> 0:43:03.790 Who's that? James. 0:43:04.390 --> 0:43:04.609 Yes. 0:43:04.910 --> 0:43:06.870 Yeah, he's on the field. He has been on the field. 0:43:07.810 --> 0:43:10.250 And he's got the dot. And he's got the dot. 0:43:10.780 --> 0:43:14.180 So I'm going to go with us. Oh, man, winning 0:43:14.200 --> 0:43:14.700 this game. 0:43:15.739 --> 0:43:18.910 Boy, I really like the 30-point deal, but we've been 0:43:19.010 --> 0:43:23.489 really having some problems offensively without our defensive help. I 0:43:23.530 --> 0:43:26.650 think with our defensive help, we can still go at 0:43:26.670 --> 0:43:27.730 the 30-point margin. 0:43:27.870 --> 0:43:35.600 So, okay, I'm going to go 31-20 Cowboys. 31-20 Cowboys. 0:43:35.680 --> 0:43:37.120 And the defense is going to have a lot to 0:43:37.160 --> 0:43:39.930 do With that, I think they're going to set our 0:43:40.030 --> 0:43:43.010 offense up pretty well in the best-case scenario. 0:43:44.110 --> 0:43:44.470 All right. 0:43:44.510 --> 0:43:45.700 Heck, man. All right. 0:43:45.860 --> 0:43:48.300 So, all week, you know what we've been talking about? 0:43:48.760 --> 0:43:51.299 The running game. You know, there are a lot of 0:43:51.320 --> 0:43:52.739 philosophies on this running game. 0:43:52.800 --> 0:43:54.730 Haven't you figured that out? Yeah, we got two at 0:43:54.770 --> 0:43:56.250 this table. Maybe three. 0:43:56.270 --> 0:43:56.340 Hey. 0:43:58.000 --> 0:44:01.359 Run it. Don't run it enough. Don't run it at all. 0:44:04.239 --> 0:44:05.420 It's been the philosophy. 0:44:05.739 --> 0:44:09.910 This game, I'm telling you, again, Javante Williams has eight 0:44:09.969 --> 0:44:13.410 touchdowns on the season. We see how he is the 0:44:13.510 --> 0:44:15.549 calming force for this defense. We need him to be 0:44:15.890 --> 0:44:26.549 that on Sunday. Get this running game going so you 0:44:26.590 --> 0:44:30.790 can open up this offense and you can also save 0:44:30.830 --> 0:44:36.390 your defense. Imagine how that is the elixir for two 0:44:36.450 --> 0:44:38.340 sides of the ball just running. 0:44:38.660 --> 0:44:39.879 It works every time. 0:44:40.260 --> 0:44:41.280 Every single time. 0:44:41.320 --> 0:44:42.839 Javante Williams is my pick to click. 0:44:42.860 --> 0:44:44.200 Just not every single game. 0:44:44.660 --> 0:44:49.080 No, I mean, the philosophy works every time. That's a prover. 0:44:49.760 --> 0:44:50.180 It's proven. 0:44:50.320 --> 0:44:53.600 Until it doesn't. Until it doesn't. But I'm going in 0:44:53.640 --> 0:44:54.230 this one. I'm going 35. 0:44:54.210 --> 0:44:54.260 35. 0:44:54.239 --> 0:44:55.420 We got to score 35 points. 35 to 23. This 0:44:55.460 --> 0:44:56.049 is a cowboy. 35-23. Cowboys win. 0:44:56.070 --> 0:44:56.130 35-23. 0:44:56.120 --> 0:44:56.660 We running the ball. 0:44:56.680 --> 0:45:00.230 They ran it 77 times the last two games. They 0:45:00.310 --> 0:45:02.830 going to run it more? You still got to run it. 0:45:02.870 --> 0:45:04.629 So you don't want to run no more? 0:45:18.450 --> 0:45:19.629 No, I didn't say that. 0:45:19.810 --> 0:45:21.810 You're done? I'm asking you. No, you ask me questions. 0:45:21.890 --> 0:45:22.989 You ask me crazy questions. 0:45:23.030 --> 0:45:24.719 I'm going to ask you crazy questions. 0:45:24.900 --> 0:45:30.140 If I run it 38 times for 204 yards, absolutely. 0:45:30.400 --> 0:45:34.500 If I run it 39 times for 93 yards, no. 0:45:35.560 --> 0:45:37.540 I don't want to run it that many times. I 0:45:37.580 --> 0:45:40.390 want to get the ball to my big players. 0:45:40.760 --> 0:45:43.489 And risk your quarterback getting hit so many times. 0:45:43.510 --> 0:45:46.340 Well, you've got to do the job then. The offensive 0:45:46.380 --> 0:45:47.799 line's got to play better, right? 0:45:47.880 --> 0:45:49.060 Yeah, they do. 0:45:49.260 --> 0:45:52.870 And you've got to make plays to stop teams from blitzing. 0:45:52.890 --> 0:45:55.810 I already made my pick to click, Mickey. That's why 0:45:55.830 --> 0:45:57.489 I made it. I said it with conviction. You don't 0:45:57.510 --> 0:45:59.529 have to put anything over the top of that, Mickey. 0:45:59.750 --> 0:46:01.209 I already said it, all right? 0:46:01.469 --> 0:46:03.510 It's done. Now you tell me your pick to click. 0:46:03.550 --> 0:46:04.780 Now who did you pick? I'm sorry. 0:46:05.070 --> 0:46:07.300 See what I'm saying? He don't even know what I said. 0:46:07.800 --> 0:46:11.520 The running back. The running back. Javante Williams. 0:46:11.980 --> 0:46:12.580 Come on. 0:46:12.820 --> 0:46:14.779 Who is yours, Mickey? What you got? 0:46:14.960 --> 0:46:18.960 Well, if it's Javante Williams, then I'll take the offensive line. 0:46:18.980 --> 0:46:24.410 Nah. Okay. Okay. But we need somebody else to pick. 0:46:24.469 --> 0:46:28.110 You've done that before. I have. It was against Philly. 0:46:28.330 --> 0:46:30.649 I took a nickel defense, I think, and that didn't 0:46:30.690 --> 0:46:35.080 turn out so well. I've got the Cowboys 33-20. 0:46:35.070 --> 0:46:35.250 Mm-hmm. 0:46:37.290 --> 0:46:40.739 And I'm having trouble picking somebody to be the player 0:46:41.060 --> 0:46:42.239 of the game. 0:46:42.500 --> 0:46:43.800 Passing game, running game? 0:46:45.260 --> 0:46:51.990 I think with the amount of times that Daniel Jones 0:46:52.030 --> 0:46:56.810 has been sacked– Out. 0:46:56.750 --> 0:46:59.029 On a limb right here. This is a limb. 0:46:59.630 --> 0:47:04.510 I am going to go with one of the— No, 0:47:04.590 --> 0:47:06.350 not an edge guy. I'm going to go with a 0:47:06.469 --> 0:47:10.589 blitzing guy. It's going to be Caleb Downs. He's going 0:47:10.610 --> 0:47:11.680 to have a couple sacks. 0:47:11.860 --> 0:47:13.360 A couple? 0:47:13.900 --> 0:47:16.740 Because he's going to be close to the line of scrimmage. 0:47:18.060 --> 0:47:20.740 And I like the way he was dancing during warm-ups. 0:47:21.980 --> 0:47:23.890 There you go. It's like holding up four fingers. Yeah, right. 0:47:24.160 --> 0:47:26.970 Something or another. How about that? Galvanized energy. 0:47:27.210 --> 0:47:30.690 There were no four fingers last night. You didn't look. 0:47:31.030 --> 0:47:33.450 You didn't look. By the time the fourth quarter came around, 0:47:33.510 --> 0:47:35.930 the wind was blowing so hard, it was freezing. 0:47:35.950 --> 0:47:37.529 Well, first of all, it was a Louisville game, so 0:47:37.550 --> 0:47:40.190 what was it, like 70? What was the. 0:47:39.890 --> 0:47:41.459 Score, final score? 41-14. 41-14. 0:47:41.520 --> 0:47:44.520 You don't need to hold up four fingers if you're 0:47:44.540 --> 0:47:44.990 already up 40. 0:47:44.980 --> 0:47:46.460 Well, the other team needed it. 0:47:47.920 --> 0:47:50.000 The other team needed four fingers. 0:47:50.620 --> 0:47:55.780 That was a nice observation until it wasn't. No four 0:47:55.820 --> 0:47:56.719 fingers in that game. 0:47:56.920 --> 0:47:57.239 No, no. 0:47:57.280 --> 0:48:00.060 It was only a two-score game going into the fourth. 0:48:00.080 --> 0:48:00.920 You know, in taps. 0:48:00.960 --> 0:48:01.460 Against them. 0:48:01.960 --> 0:48:06.090 In taps, they'd have a running clock if you're up 0:48:06.110 --> 0:48:07.750 by 40 in the second half. Wow. 0:48:07.790 --> 0:48:09.890 He said it was going to the fourth? 0:48:09.930 --> 0:48:10.989 It was a two-score game. 0:48:11.790 --> 0:48:13.430 And then something happened. 0:48:13.570 --> 0:48:14.890 One team held up four fingers. 0:48:15.070 --> 0:48:17.830 That team didn't know how to finish the deal. That's 0:48:17.850 --> 0:48:18.490 what happened. 0:48:19.520 --> 0:48:23.239 Somebody that's been practicing on the fourth quarter figured out 0:48:23.280 --> 0:48:26.140 how to close the deal.
