Here are Bill Jones, Everson Wolves, 0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:34.040 and Nicki Spagnola. Okay, it's time for another vendition of 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:41.400 mix shots. Here. We're in the fun Town RV tailgate 0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:45.400 here at Tostito's Championship Plaza, and this is Mick Shots. 0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:48.880 And should I start with this? Here go? I'm gonna 0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:54.040 start with this. Here we go, lay it on my iPhone. 0:00:54.080 --> 0:01:00.600 Here you go. See if you can hear this structure? 0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:05.880 We gain that your time every day given the trend 0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:10.360 of art is that you take a look at being 0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:12.680 whether or not you tweeting, how you structure of the 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:24.040 practice tweeting or that something that off the table. I 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:30.320 just wanted it wasn't me, So there you go there. 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:33.920 What better way to start off mix shots as mix 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:37.399 shot ever ever said? I wonder who that was. I 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:41.480 don't know. It sound like some little Italian guys like that. 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:46.399 It wasn't fau sound it wasn't Fauci. I should throw 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:51.960 myself under the bus. I wasn't in the room, so 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:55.360 I called it yourself. I called it on the phone, 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:57.720 and you're supposed to mute your phone until you have 0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:01.200 to ask a question, and I totally forgot to mute 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:04.920 my phone. And I was talking to myself, like, are 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:10.160 you serious? That's a question, which he does on every question, 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:12.920 which I do, which I do during the game. If 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.799 anybody mike me up in the press box, I talked. 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:18.200 I got my headsets out and I talked to myself, 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:22.280 you know, and I was just like, oh, and I 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:25.639 heard everybody laughing in the room up in our office, 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:31.200 and I go, oh, hell, they heard me. So so 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:34.360 you didn't realize that. No, I didn't realize. I didn't 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:36.679 hit the mute button. And then I hit the mute 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.720 button after Yeah, it was a little bit late. That 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:44.000 was closing that barn door. After all the horses are gone. No, 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:48.200 are you listening the whole press conference? Yes? So you 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:51.840 went twelve minutes without a reaction, Yes, yeah, yeah, it was. 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:56.040 I'm proud of you made you made it through about 0:02:56.560 --> 0:03:00.040 ten or twelve questions without a reaction. Just just be 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:03.760 proud of me exactly that. There's just no telling what 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:07.480 you might have said, yeah, my goodness, hot, Mike's you know, 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:11.040 it was hilarious, and you know, and I think um 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:15.800 coach McCarthy felt felt bad for Michael Gilkin, who asked 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:19.640 the question. Welle, he wound up going like three minutes 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:22.840 on the answer because and see what happened for for 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:28.720 for Wow, what happened with McCarthy was yesterday, If you remember, 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:33.880 Kelvin Watkins asked a question that was the most obvious, 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:36.880 you know answer, you can get a young quarterback. He said, yeah, 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.080 if you got a young quarterback, is it more difficult 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:41.720 to game plan for a rookie quarterback than it is 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:46.800 for dak or Andy Dalton? And and and he started 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:50.040 laughing and he and he goes, I can't see underneath 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:53.760 your mask. Was that supposed to be funny? So I'm 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:57.080 sure he was pretty sensitive that. Oh no, I didn't 0:03:57.080 --> 0:04:01.360 do it again this time. You know, that was med. Yeah, 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:03.800 he had to say, look, that was not me. So 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:07.920 I immediately text Scott A. Goulnick, the Cowboys assistant to 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:11.960 the PR person, and I said, hey, tell Mike I apologize. 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.760 I'm sorry, And he goes, oh, no, need he thought 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:18.800 it was funny. Did he know it was you right off? Oh, 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:24.640 I don't think so. Everybody else, Yeah, everybody else he knew, Yeah, yeah, 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:27.640 he knew. Even if he didn't recognize the voice, it 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:31.880 was the action alone. Well, see, he doesn't know me 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:34.760 that well. Probably had was around a little bit longer, 0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:37.520 or if we had had more interaction with him, he 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:39.400 would have called you out here. He was saying that 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:43.640 sounds like yeah, he would. He would have said, didn't 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:46.680 like that question. We We probably haven't talked face to 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.400 face since the middle of January when he did that 0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:53.360 last press conference upstairs at the Star, because everything else 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:56.040 has been virtual then, you know, And it dawned on 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:57.920 me the other day and I think I told you 0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:00.480 guys this before. I said, We're gonna go through an 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:04.839 entire season and I probably won't have met a third 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:09.000 to almost half the guys on this roster because everything's over. 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:11.800 You know, they don't see us. That means you can 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.240 say anything you want to about it. That's right. You 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:18.040 never see him like I had about Don Terry. You 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:20.760 knew you were safe saying whatever you wanted to about 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.080 Don Terry Pokers. You're never gonna see him. But you know, 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:26.000 two people, two people are in trouble. Don Terry Poe 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:31.360 is looking for spags and and it's the same oh 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:37.280 the safety. Yeah, Worly is looking for me. Don't you 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:40.080 know what he's looking for me? Jerry Jones doubled down 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:44.440 on what I've said in an interview with Chris Morton 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:48.440 Chris Mortenson's Last Night. He basically said he was overweight 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:50.760 and he wasn't doing it. Over See, I didn't know 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:55.880 he was overweight. I knew he was that much. What's 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:59.920 overweight if you're three fifty or three seventy's that's why 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:02.960 you know. I thought that's what that was his weight. 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:05.680 I thought that's how he felt comfortable. And I'll take 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:08.480 this shot right now too, because I saw the question 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:12.039 come up or someone trying to insinuate that they released 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:15.560 him because Jerry was tired of him kneeling for the 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:18.520 national anthem, And I'm going no, he was tired of 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:22.600 kneeling on the field because he wasn't doing anything. I'll 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.000 tell well, let me say it this way. It didn't 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:28.640 help that he kneeled. I would dare say that it 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:31.080 didn't help that he kneel. But if you're gonna kneel, 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.520 you better ball that's all I gotta say. That's that's 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:38.760 the difference between when you protest and how acceptable it is. 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:42.120 If you a baller, then people are gonna pay attention. 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:45.080 Muhammad alive. If he wasn't Muhammad al lea, no one 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:46.800 would care that he didn't go to the Vietnam War. 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:48.880 Let's just think about it, and we can go back 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:51.880 to what you were pointing out yesterday about Kurvin Richards. 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:56.360 If that was Emmatt Smith that fumbled, Oh okay, no problem, 0:06:56.440 --> 0:07:00.400 we go forward, right Kurvin Richard here, You're not going 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:03.920 to be here next year. You're out. It's like what 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.160 Jimmy used to say. Everyone made a big deal about 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:08.880 John Roper falling asleep and and team meetings and cut 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:11.840 him falling us, and Jimmy would say, if it was 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.760 Immet or Michael, he would go find a pillow for it. 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:19.400 Which is funny because the other part of that story 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.000 is when the meeting was over and he was sleeping, 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:24.760 a couple of the players and Nate would tell this story, 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:27.520 We're going up to Roper to wake him up, and 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:31.880 Jimmy was like, no, hell, let's let him sleep. Because 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:35.600 he saw an opportunity to send a message, right, just 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:39.520 what the doctor ordered. That's right, right, all right, we 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:43.360 got more important things. I will say we talked about 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:46.880 don Terry Poe. There can I point out with something also? Okay, 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:51.080 here's something that no one is I haven't seen mentioned. 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:55.640 So they they traded Everson Griffin, they cut Whirlie and Poe. 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:59.200 That's three, right, Well, they got three guys that they 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:03.360 needed to make room off it injured reserve because they're 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:07.720 gonna have to bring on Shitebeauzier, Shawn Lee and Joe Looney. 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:09.680 I don't know if they'll do it this week, but 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:12.280 at some point. So they were gonna need to make 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:14.840 room on the fifty three man roster for those guys. 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:18.360 So they just made room. Yeah, basically, and two of 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:22.280 the guys were basically deadweight and timing it's perfect, so 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.000 that that was in their thinking. One of the guys 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:29.440 was dead well well yeah, but but in their thinking 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.080 was we don't want to give up. We don't want 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:33.880 to give up on a bunch of young guys that 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:38.079 we're trying to bring along. So who's expendable, and you know, 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:42.320 Worley and Everson Griffin were on one year deals. Poe 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:45.600 was on a two year deal, so that even accentuates 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:49.120 how dissatisfied they were with his play because they had 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:52.160 to eat three point five million of guaranteed money by 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:54.920 letting them go, and that the tough play. Yes, that 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:56.959 was the tough play. You can talk about talent all 0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:59.640 you want, but this is also a game about salary 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:03.120 cap It's about economics, really, and when you start counting 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:05.280 up those numbers, that's a tough three and a half 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:10.400 to swaller. And I do special edition with Nate Newton 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:12.760 and he's been on this for a month now about 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:16.559 ho and see Nate knows what he's talking about, especially 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:20.240 when it comes to losing weight. Yeah, and they will 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:23.160 say that himself. And so I asked him today, I said, 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:27.000 so because you noticed that coming into this season there 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:30.840 were a number of offensive lineman types, big big body 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:33.880 types who opted out this season, right, And part of 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:37.040 that might have been due to the fact that bigger 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:40.760 bodied people are more susceptible or as far as COVID goes, 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:46.800 underline condition, but also without an office, I asked, So, 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.240 I asked Nate, so, how difficult would it have been 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:52.600 for you to go into a season without an off 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:57.560 season program, because I just remember those scenes during OTAs 0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:00.079 or quarterback schools or whatever we called it back in 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:02.679 where Nate. You know, they're running Nate to get him 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:05.679 in shape to go to training camp. And he said, oh, 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:08.360 there's no doubt about it that he would have not 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:11.960 had it would not have been pretty at all himself 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.280 in training camp because of the issues that he had 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:18.240 just naturally losing weight and not being an a regimented 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:20.960 program of doing it, you know, think about may your 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:23.839 own personal trainers and stuff. But still and he had 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:26.800 to do that by before he even came in for 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.360 the conditioning, strength and conditioning. He would go he used 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.160 to call it, I went to the fat farm right exactly, 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:37.280 you know, and he would drop thirty pounds, forty pounds, 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:39.959 and then he'd come in and I wish, you know, 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:41.839 these things weren't here because we have a camera, I 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:45.480 can get up. But when they did their their conditioning tests, 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:48.160 so they used to have to run one tens, right, 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:50.959 and each group had so many they had to run 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:53.520 in a certain amount of time. Right. Well, Nate, Nate 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:57.040 never finished him, but he we nicknamed it the Nate 0:10:57.200 --> 0:11:01.439 shuffle because his feet never came off Brown after about 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:04.000 the first or second one. It wasn't running, it was 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:08.319 shuffling feet and and God blessed Charles Haley. So when 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:12.160 you couldn't finish them, then you owed Jimmy that many sprints, 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:16.079 yes or whatever, And and Haley would go and run 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:19.719 with Nate to kind of drag them along, to encourage them. 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:23.120 And you can say all the stuff about Haley, but 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:25.800 that was one of the things that a little bit 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:30.120 of compassion, right, And don't let Charles Haley fool you. Yeah, right, 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:33.000 that's a great guy. He's a good dude. Let's just 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:35.600 be real. The difference though, between what you're talking about 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.520 with Nate back then and what's going on now. Back then, 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:42.040 our off seasons we were truly off. You know, we 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.040 didn't work out during the off season. I mean, I 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:48.120 always stayed active just because that's me. But the big 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:51.320 guys they would always rest over the entire off season 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.400 and then they would come into training camp to get 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:58.319 in shape. If you recall nowadays, it's different. They go 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:02.120 year round, right, So it would be a bit easier 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:04.920 for Nate, even with COVID. He would probably social distance 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:09.520 himself with a trainer because that's it's not taboo now. 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:12.959 It was taboo then. Big guys are not working out 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.400 in the off season. I remember doing an interview with 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:19.520 DD Lewis and at some point in the interview it 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:22.679 came up, so a lot of these guys had jobs, right, 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:26.360 And I said, what did you do in the off season? 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:29.920 He goes, I sat in the pool and did twelve 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:35.560 hours curls every day. And that's what it was about. 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.800 No one's thinking, okay, we just of course, Cowboys were 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:41.199 always in the playoffs back when I played, So it's 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:44.880 no way we're gonna take the off season after January 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:49.199 mid January and go work out more. That's not gonna happen. Yeah, 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:51.200 we did not. And the other thing he consider about 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:53.760 done Terry Poe is that he had the same injury 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:57.520 last football season that Gerald McCoy had training camp this year. 0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:00.199 He had a quad and had quad surgery, and so 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:02.360 he was coming off that to begin with, and so 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:05.640 the first half of his offseason he's rehabbing from that, 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:08.679 and he's he's he's not he's not a whole he's 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:11.240 not really active. And as far as shed and wait 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:13.240 and getting getting in shape and so far, so when 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:16.040 you're doing rehab. You're doing something. You're doing something, and 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:20.240 if you're if you're smart and if you're professional, rehab 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:25.480 can can can spring into a regiment, it can spring 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:28.160 into structure. Yeah, that's the way he should have used it, 0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:31.040 instead of saying, Okay, it feels good, Now let me 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:32.760 go back and lay that. Well, he already got his 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:36.719 he got his contractor obviously yeah, obviously carrying all that 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:38.559 money around should have helped it. Well, this will, this 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:42.400 will provide opportunities for some of those other young guys. Uh, 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:45.120 Neville Gallimore will get more, right, Yeah, so hood the 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:49.240 inside guys with Justin Hamilton and Gallimore and now Tyron 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:53.880 Crawfords Woods. So those guys should get more, uh more 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:57.840 snaps because you know he was getting forty to forty 0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:01.640 five percent of the snaps um uh Poe was. So 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:04.439 this will, this will put a little bit more pressure 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:07.440 on these other young guys that okay, let's go, let's 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:11.880 see what you can do. We're alwa looking at well, 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:15.560 he's you know what, on the on the game book 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.960 from last week, from last game, they had him starting 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:22.800 it at defensive end. Crawford. Now, I don't know if 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:24.480 that was accord. I got to go back and I 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:28.600 got a deal. But it's but it's on the it's 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:30.560 on this. It was on the on the plate. I 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:34.640 charted it, looked at it and it had him starting. 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:38.640 I still came from a long way. Yeah. It was 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:42.040 a two hip surgery. Two hips only have two, right 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:46.520 I have? I only have two? Yeah, but one of 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:51.720 something that's amazing that he comes full circle. Yeah, you know, 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:54.520 I really felt for him in the offseason. You guys 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:57.600 were talking about the stories and and the childs and 0:14:57.640 --> 0:14:59.680 Triple Laces has been through and for him to be 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:01.800 able to to come to all of that and regardless 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:03.000 of how this team is playing, for him to be 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:05.480 a starter, Yeah, in the NFL, that's big time. And 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:08.480 the guys that I had out there and maybe and 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:10.880 maybe I didn't see it right, but the guys I 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:15.000 saw out there to start the game were Lawrence and 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:18.600 Alden Smith at the ends and Poe and Gallimore inside. 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:20.440 See that's what I thought. And then I looked at 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:23.160 the game book and it had him starting. Yeah, And 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:25.400 that might have been one of those things where you 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:28.200 turn your starters in before the game and then when 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:31.240 you send the guys out in whatever situation. Having said that, 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:33.440 having said that, and I need to go back and 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:36.720 look at it, I guess I've got Washington. Washington was 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:39.160 in twelve personnel. They had two tight ends on the field, 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:41.320 which would mean that they would they would have another 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:43.840 alignment in the game, and Jordan Lewis would not be 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:46.240 out there. But I got Jordan Lewis marked his being 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:51.680 down in there. Yeah, starting, but at any rate, Okay, 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:55.560 let me ask you this, is there a chance mid 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:59.880 season that Mike Nolan could morph this into a three 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:05.160 for scheme. I'm thinking because Poe was the key guy, 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:08.600 uh in building a three four and then that's what 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:12.560 when you're when you're signing Poe, you're thinking, Okay, he's 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:15.000 going to be the nose tackle in a three four defense, 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:17.640 and then it just that they didn't have the other 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:19.880 parts to make it work. Well, I still don't have 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:23.880 the other parts, and I've seen I've seen him transitioning 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:27.560 more to a four four basically a four two nickel. 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:31.440 And now with Sean Lee coming back, you've got a 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.800 real strong side linebacker, right you don't have to masquerade 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:39.040 with the defensive ends standing up as a strong side linebacker. 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:43.040 So Uh, and that, and I've heard that that you know, 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:45.760 when Lee gets back, you know, maybe I don't know, 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:50.360 maybe Jalen Smith's the strong side linebacker and let Lee 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:53.080 run to the ball and be more involved in the 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:56.880 coverage that sometimes Jalen Smith struggles and that wasn't the 0:16:56.960 --> 0:17:00.640 case with the old coaching regime. But we don't know 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:04.000 with Mike Nolan. Yeah right, you know, you're totally different. 0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:06.760 Because we didn't see Lee in training camp either, so 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:08.679 we didn't have an opportunity to see how they were 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:11.200 going to use them, right, which was going to be 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:14.320 one of my questions for Mike McCarthy, But I thought 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:18.440 maybe that was prying too deeply into teams secrets were 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:24.399 also just go for it. No, Well, no telling what 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:29.679 the reaction from the other reporters, your Iraduald Michael Gelkin. 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:32.040 His response would have been, I'm not going to ask 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:35.720 a question ever.

I 0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:19.000 was gonna say, you know, we can make the other 0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:21.520 shows mad at us that had to start like at 0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:25.240 nine thirty this morning. I'm thinking, I gotta take my 0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:29.160 jacket off. It's getting a little It's a great set 0:21:29.240 --> 0:21:32.440 up though. For real, we almost look like royalty. And 0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:34.680 it'd be great if you know, the weather was nicer, 0:21:34.760 --> 0:21:36.560 we probably would have had people out here and throwing 0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:40.159 the football around. And yep, we're overlooking the football field 0:21:40.320 --> 0:21:44.280 here at Tostito's Championship Plaza, and I'm distracted just by 0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:47.240 all the great the beautiful screen. Yeah, you get the 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:48.879 big screen to look at it. And I'll tell you 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:52.600 because I when I'm doing my live shots for CBS eleven, 0:21:52.640 --> 0:21:57.639 we're out here and there are Frisco youth football teams 0:21:57.800 --> 0:22:00.960 and cheerleading squads and so forth. Actually they come out 0:22:01.040 --> 0:22:04.479 here and they have practices out here. The other day, 0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:07.520 two days ago, when it was thirty nine degrees and 0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:11.119 raining out here, there was a youth football team dressed 0:22:11.200 --> 0:22:15.280 up as Dallas Cowboys out here, and they you know, coaches, 0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:17.560 you know, the Dad's game. They had these big old 0:22:17.680 --> 0:22:20.280 bags full of equipment and stuff and I was thinking, 0:22:20.720 --> 0:22:23.200 can you imagine what those moms were saying, you're gonna 0:22:23.240 --> 0:22:26.119 do what, You're gonna have practice in this weather. You 0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:28.200 know what, when we were kids growing up in the 0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:31.280 winter and in Chicago and the snow on the ground, 0:22:31.320 --> 0:22:33.359 and we live for those days to go out and 0:22:33.400 --> 0:22:35.639 play football in the snow. We thought it wasn't snowing 0:22:35.680 --> 0:22:41.160 though in the world. To go out there and then 0:22:41.280 --> 0:22:43.960 come home and you're muddy, and it's like, what have 0:22:44.040 --> 0:22:46.720 you been doing? Well, it's football season. Where if I 0:22:46.840 --> 0:22:49.600 was one of these kids, if I wouldn't want to come, 0:22:49.840 --> 0:22:52.480 But if they said we're dressing up as cowboys and 0:22:52.600 --> 0:22:55.160 we're come into this field, yeah I'd do that. That's true. 0:22:55.200 --> 0:22:58.200 And you know, brothers don't like rain and call well, 0:22:58.240 --> 0:23:01.960 speaking of dressing up, it was good to see Zach 0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:05.320 Martin out at practice these last two days, so he 0:23:05.440 --> 0:23:08.760 should be good to go. Uh. That gives a little 0:23:08.760 --> 0:23:13.640 bit of stability to that offensive line, and uh, maybe 0:23:13.760 --> 0:23:16.879
