0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 1>We already have Mike McCarthy's, because there's only one goal

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 1>in the season. That's to get to the Super Bowl. Yeah.

0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:16.280

<v Speaker 1>half of you. Well, I guess I better start rushing

0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:28.800
<v Speaker 1>by all right, Mickey, bring us up to speed on

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:31.600
<v Speaker 1>what's going on. We heard Mike McCarthy at ten thirty

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:35.359
<v Speaker 1>this morning right here on Dallas Cowboys dot Com and

0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:40.000
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys doing a non traditional although now it is

0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:45.160
<v Speaker 1>traditional because it's the Mike McCarthy era Friday walkthrough of sorts,

0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:49.160
<v Speaker 1>and then a more strenuous workout on Saturday before the

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:51.640
<v Speaker 1>game on Sunday. Bring us up to speed on what

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.919
<v Speaker 1>you know out there at the Star inside the SWBC

0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Mortgage studio. Well, it's kind of quiet here because I

0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 1>think everybody that's in kind of the world worker b

0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:04.040
<v Speaker 1>section of this place realize that there wasn't much going

0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 1>on today, so a lot of working from home, it

0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:13.399
<v Speaker 1>certainly looks like. But the Cowboys will get to work today.

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 1>It's a one hour walk through later this afternoon, and

0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:23.560
<v Speaker 1>then I see their itinerary for tomorrow, and the COVID

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:29.519
<v Speaker 1>testing which is mandatory before the meeting begins on Saturday,

0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:33.960
<v Speaker 1>begins at eight eight no, wait, six thirty to eight

0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 1>am in the morning, so it's no weekend for these

0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:43.480
<v Speaker 1>Dallas Cowboys, and they are scheduled to depart the charter

0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:50.400
<v Speaker 1>site out at DFW at three o'clock PM and head

0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:54.800
<v Speaker 1>too lax. So that's kind of their schedule for these

0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:59.360
<v Speaker 1>next two days. And between it sounded like, between listening

0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:04.520
<v Speaker 1>to Mike McCarthy, between tonight and tomorrow's team meeting, they

0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:10.920
<v Speaker 1>will announce who this week's team captains will be, and

0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:15.480
<v Speaker 1>it sounds like it's a decision between Mike McCarthy and

0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:18.960
<v Speaker 1>his assistant head coach Rob Davis, So it's kind of

0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 1>a weekly reward, it sounds like. And then they will

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.719
<v Speaker 1>choose the one person because you only get one person

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:30.719
<v Speaker 1>to go out there for the coin flip from each team.

0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:35.480
<v Speaker 1>No more five people huddling up, shaking hands, hugging, patting

0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:40.440
<v Speaker 1>each other on the back for social distancing, and he

0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:44.360
<v Speaker 1>was whoever draws the short straw has to go out Yeah,

0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:49.080
<v Speaker 1>right exactly. Tony Romo hated it. He hated going out there.

0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:51.400
<v Speaker 1>He said, the last thing I want to do before

0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to take a first snap is start frattonizing

0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.200
<v Speaker 1>with Somebody's going to take my head off, right, he said.

0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.720
<v Speaker 1>I just I just hated it. And so the key

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:04.440
<v Speaker 1>question was Mike, are you a heads or a tails

0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:06.880
<v Speaker 1>guy on the coin flip? And he goes, I'm a

0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 1>tails guy. But they follow up with the next question

0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:13.280
<v Speaker 1>that needed to be answered, which is do you take

0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:16.520
<v Speaker 1>the ball or do you defer? So we'll see some

0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:20.200
<v Speaker 1>of that this week out serious stuff, right, hate I

0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:24.120
<v Speaker 1>hate deferring to me, if you win a toss, you

0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:26.839
<v Speaker 1>go out there with your offense and you drive it

0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:30.160
<v Speaker 1>right down the field. I hate how we have to

0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:33.159
<v Speaker 1>make this, you know, we have to make this statement

0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.039
<v Speaker 1>early in the game. My defense is going to go

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:39.800
<v Speaker 1>out there and stop him back and backfire so badly

0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:42.680
<v Speaker 1>on you. Sometimes I don't think it's worth the risk.

0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:46.200
<v Speaker 1>If you have a chance to get the ball, you

0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:48.960
<v Speaker 1>get the ball and you go score. To me, that's

0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:51.960
<v Speaker 1>how you make a statement. I never understood that whole

0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:55.679
<v Speaker 1>thing about, you know, trying to intimidate the other team

0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:58.760
<v Speaker 1>because my defense is so amazing. That stuff you're going

0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:01.080
<v Speaker 1>and that stuff can going to on you so fast

0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.240
<v Speaker 1>you'll be behind before you know it. I never did

0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:07.520
<v Speaker 1>like it. And you know what, I'm absolutely with you.

0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:09.520
<v Speaker 1>It's like, why would you give the other team to

0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:12.120
<v Speaker 1>put you in the hole before you ever touched the football, right,

0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:15.120
<v Speaker 1>at least give yourself a chance. I did it. Now.

0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:20.599
<v Speaker 1>I did somewhat understand Jason Garrett's thinking on that when

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:22.960
<v Speaker 1>he would say he would defer when he was on

0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:26.000
<v Speaker 1>the road because the home crowd would be all fired

0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:28.760
<v Speaker 1>up and everybody's yelling and screaming and they're in their

0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:32.960
<v Speaker 1>seats and he goes, and you know, your offense may

0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:36.560
<v Speaker 1>malfunction because of all the noise, and he goes. But

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:38.680
<v Speaker 1>if you get the ball to start the second half,

0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:41.000
<v Speaker 1>most of the people aren't back in their seats after

0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.680
<v Speaker 1>going to get something to eat and drink, and it's

0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.360
<v Speaker 1>not as noisy as it would be. To start the game,

0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:52.359
<v Speaker 1>so there there was no reason. When you think about

0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:56.360
<v Speaker 1>that logic, I still see I still see it backfiring.

0:06:57.000 --> 0:07:01.159
<v Speaker 1>If you get the ball after say their offense goes

0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:04.680
<v Speaker 1>down to scores, you're gonna have the same noise right

0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:07.760
<v Speaker 1>the fact it might raise a decimal even if you

0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:10.679
<v Speaker 1>get it either way on the second drive of the game,

0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:13.640
<v Speaker 1>it really doesn't matter. By the time, by the time

0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 1>you get to the second half, you might be down

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:19.480
<v Speaker 1>by three scores already. So now still doesn't make any sense.

0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:22.160
<v Speaker 1>And think about this, even with the kickoff now and

0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:25.240
<v Speaker 1>everybody gets excited and they're standing and clapping, and then

0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 1>it's a touchback. It just yeah, it deflates the start

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:39.640
<v Speaker 1>of the game. Remember for the kickoff, everybody get up

0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:45.480
<v Speaker 1>and they wave their white towels and then it's a touchman. Yeah, yeah,

0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Well what do the analytics say though, Oh well, that's

0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:54.880
<v Speaker 1>most important here, he goes, I think you have will

0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:58.440
<v Speaker 1>what dude, what do they say? What? I have no

0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:01.560
<v Speaker 1>clue you should, I would say, I would say, the

0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:08.200
<v Speaker 1>analytics say, do not defer. That's what I would say. Well,

0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.520
<v Speaker 1>I think there's a lot of people who will disagree

0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 1>with you on that. That you defer giving your team

0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:16.240
<v Speaker 1>a chance to have the ball to start, and the

0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:18.320
<v Speaker 1>reason that they do that is so that you can

0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:20.960
<v Speaker 1>double up on possessions at the end of the first half.

0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:23.600
<v Speaker 1>You know you're getting the balls to start the second

0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:26.000
<v Speaker 1>half and you can steal an extra possession. Well, what

0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:28.800
<v Speaker 1>makes you think the rotation of possessions is going to

0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:32.520
<v Speaker 1>turn out that way? There's there's no guarantee you're gonna

0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:39.720
<v Speaker 1>have two in a row. That's right, that's right. But yeah,

0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:43.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't like that. I think I'm I'm monitoring on

0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:47.000
<v Speaker 1>periscope anyone who wants to chime in on the old

0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:51.320
<v Speaker 1>coin toss decision or if you have a Super Bowl

0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:54.440
<v Speaker 1>fifty four prediction, which, by the way, super Bowl fifty

0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.280
<v Speaker 1>four will be on my network once again this year

0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:00.960
<v Speaker 1>on CBS this year. Jim Nansen Romo, So we know

0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Tony Romo is making it to the Super Bowl this year. Time. Wait,

0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:11.720
<v Speaker 1>way to go, Tony, You just made it with the

0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:15.400
<v Speaker 1>wrong team. I'm sorry, All right, Mickey, Yet give us

0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:19.040
<v Speaker 1>what you know about an injury report. Although things are

0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:20.800
<v Speaker 1>going to be up in the air with this new

0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:24.160
<v Speaker 1>practice schedule that we've got as far as the coach

0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:27.840
<v Speaker 1>been able to see UH injured players play throughout the week. Well,

0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:29.600
<v Speaker 1>the only thing we're going to find out is what

0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:34.920
<v Speaker 1>happened after yesterday's practice, right, because the injury report today

0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:39.560
<v Speaker 1>will be UH, they'll they'll put in parentheses A a

0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:43.520
<v Speaker 1>prediction or an assumption because the practice will be on Saturday,

0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:47.000
<v Speaker 1>and you don't have to update it on Saturday. H

0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:52.400
<v Speaker 1>So as of yesterday's practice should have been Alluzier full

0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:57.960
<v Speaker 1>both days Wednesday Thursday, Marie Cooper full both Wednesday Thursday,

0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Luke Gifford limited both days, and Jordan Lewis did not

0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:09.680
<v Speaker 1>participate both days and that probably won't change. So, and

0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:12.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's a lot of talk will Brandon Carr

0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:17.360
<v Speaker 1>be active or inactive? And Jerry kind of skirted the situation.

0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Mike McCarthy said, well, we'll make those decisions on Saturday.

0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:25.520
<v Speaker 1>But I just think without a training camp and he's

0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.360
<v Speaker 1>only been out there two days, I don't know that

0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:33.360
<v Speaker 1>they use a roster spot for him, or I should

0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:36.240
<v Speaker 1>say a game day roster spot, because you wouldn't promote

0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:38.640
<v Speaker 1>him to the fifty five if he wasn't going to

0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:42.280
<v Speaker 1>be on the forty eight. So that one hasn't been

0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:46.320
<v Speaker 1>clarified yet, But I somehow kind of doubt that he

0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.800
<v Speaker 1>would be ready to go after two and a half practices,

0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:54.120
<v Speaker 1>and the and the rams are pretty much about two.

0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:57.440
<v Speaker 1>But this thing about the Saturday practice, the thing about

0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:00.680
<v Speaker 1>the Saturday practice, I started thinking about that last night

0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:03.360
<v Speaker 1>and how they might have a little bit more of

0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:07.840
<v Speaker 1>an uptick than most teams have on a Saturday. Yeah,

0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:09.559
<v Speaker 1>why don't you have a player out there with a

0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:13.840
<v Speaker 1>gympie ankle or you know that that growing not quite

0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:16.360
<v Speaker 1>where you want it to be, but you're gonna give

0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:18.800
<v Speaker 1>it a try anyway. And you go out there and

0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:22.160
<v Speaker 1>you're you're you're you're integral part of the say, third

0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:26.600
<v Speaker 1>down defense, and you go out there and just go

0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.120
<v Speaker 1>out there and screw something up. You screw up that

0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:34.360
<v Speaker 1>same injury, you reaggravate it. What happens then, I mean,

0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:38.000
<v Speaker 1>what if it affects, you know, his movement, and he's

0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:41.480
<v Speaker 1>really may not say he's out for the game, but

0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:45.480
<v Speaker 1>he may be extremely questionable in his own mind because

0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:49.240
<v Speaker 1>now he has just reinjured himself. I wonder if McCarthy

0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:52.800
<v Speaker 1>has had that kind of issue in the past, and

0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:54.880
<v Speaker 1>what would he do if he had that issue in

0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:58.040
<v Speaker 1>the future, and I prettily doesn't, but that could be

0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:02.000
<v Speaker 1>a real possibility because on Fridays, you know, we kind

0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:05.080
<v Speaker 1>of chilled on Fridays, but you still had guys going

0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:08.400
<v Speaker 1>for the ball. And when you're talking about muscle injuries

0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:13.480
<v Speaker 1>and these limb injuries, then that something could reoccur on

0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:16.080
<v Speaker 1>that Saturday and that could be disastrous, sort of like

0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:19.640
<v Speaker 1>when you guys went to Denver and was it eighty

0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:25.320
<v Speaker 1>five or eighty six and Danny Danny White pulled up

0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:29.880
<v Speaker 1>lame after running down for conditioning on uh special teams

0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:35.480
<v Speaker 1>and then I think Randy White hurt himself. Also somehow

0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:42.840
<v Speaker 1>I remember all that stuff, and yeah, i'd remembered as well, Well,

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:47.320
<v Speaker 1>you know we uh we weren't really uh in the

0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:49.520
<v Speaker 1>hunt that year anyway. Was that eighty six? I believe?

0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:51.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah it was. That was the reason you started

0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:57.920
<v Speaker 1>off six and two. Yeah, you're until remember until Danny

0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:03.360
<v Speaker 1>that would have fractured his risk he share? Did he share? Did?

0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:07.400
<v Speaker 1>And the number one on since that really happened, Yeah,

0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:10.360
<v Speaker 1>that that that certainly couldn't happen. So you have to

0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:13.000
<v Speaker 1>wonder if you can do it on a Friday, you

0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.439
<v Speaker 1>can do it on a Saturday. Well, of course it

0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:19.520
<v Speaker 1>say it'll be a contactless practice. I mean, that's a

0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:24.080
<v Speaker 1>one hour kind of no padded practice, remember so, But

0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:28.479
<v Speaker 1>it could happen, you ever, know, when somebody pulls him ust. Okay,

0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:31.320
<v Speaker 1>ever again, let's go ahead, go ahead. What do you

0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:36.640
<v Speaker 1>think of McCarthy's tradition of not having permanent team captains

0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:39.360
<v Speaker 1>for the entire season and doing it week to week.

0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:44.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, that's something very different. I never cared much

0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:48.600
<v Speaker 1>about who the captain was because from year to year

0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:51.400
<v Speaker 1>it would change. But if you're going from week to week,

0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:56.280
<v Speaker 1>it does kind of seem like a unnecessary ritual. I

0:13:56.360 --> 0:14:01.280
<v Speaker 1>guess you might call it from week to week. Uh,

0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:03.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't you know, I don't think anyone would really

0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:07.000
<v Speaker 1>care about it. When you're a captain for the entire season,

0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:09.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's that's a badge that you keep for

0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:12.360
<v Speaker 1>the entire season. You know. If you're just a captain

0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:15.320
<v Speaker 1>for a week, I don't know, that's that just seems

0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:21.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of so abbreviated. Obviously. I think that there's something

0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:24.560
<v Speaker 1>that's a bit unnecessary to have to really, you know,

0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:28.000
<v Speaker 1>you and the assistant coach get together and and pick

0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:32.280
<v Speaker 1>a captain every week. No I don't think much about

0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:33.960
<v Speaker 1>it at all. Bill, that's a long way to say

0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:36.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't care for it, and early Mickey. And the

0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:39.520
<v Speaker 1>other part of that is most teams, it's like the

0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:42.960
<v Speaker 1>teammates vote on the captains, and or at least they

0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:46.080
<v Speaker 1>have a large say in, or they think they have

0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:50.920
<v Speaker 1>a large say. Who knows for sure, once who's actually

0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:55.760
<v Speaker 1>tabulated the teammates votes. The coaches have the finals say

0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:58.760
<v Speaker 1>on who those captains are, but they like to make

0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:00.680
<v Speaker 1>the players think that they I had to say it.

0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Who they got a story for your Bill, I have

0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:07.360
<v Speaker 1>at well, you know Coach Lantry. You know Coach Lantry

0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:12.320
<v Speaker 1>did not care. I recall we wrote the names down

0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:14.680
<v Speaker 1>on paper. I don't know if you were there yet, Spags.

0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:17.760
<v Speaker 1>We wrote all our answers down on paper on who

0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:20.320
<v Speaker 1>wanted this? So you got all these little slips of

0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:23.280
<v Speaker 1>paper with names on them, and we gave them all

0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:27.320
<v Speaker 1>to Coach Landry, and before he ended the meeting, he

0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:29.560
<v Speaker 1>put he took all of them and he bawled them

0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:33.120
<v Speaker 1>up in his hand, put them in his pocket and said,

0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:36.120
<v Speaker 1>I'll let you know. We'll let you guys know who

0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:41.760
<v Speaker 1>the captain is. After you said it, just like you said, Bill,

0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:44.400
<v Speaker 1>we thought we knew who the captain. We thought we

0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:46.560
<v Speaker 1>were voting for captains, but no, we were not. It

0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:50.040
<v Speaker 1>was it was merely just you know, uh, just a

0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:52.400
<v Speaker 1>little dressing on the on the side, that's all it was.

0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:56.880
<v Speaker 1>So Mike mccarnie Lowhouse ask on periscope can someone be

0:15:57.000 --> 0:16:03.280
<v Speaker 1>named captain on multiple occasions? Sixteen game season? There's everybody

0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:05.040
<v Speaker 1>on the team is gonna be a captain. If you

0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:08.680
<v Speaker 1>don't have multiple captain then you you what about the

0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:11.120
<v Speaker 1>guy that never gets to be picked, Well, he's gonna

0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:15.640
<v Speaker 1>feel bad. But think think about it's only a one

0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:19.200
<v Speaker 1>day designation and then it disappears after the game. Right,

0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:22.640
<v Speaker 1>it's not like they put a seven. I never got picked.

0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:25.920
<v Speaker 1>If I'm not, if I'm not gonna never got picked,

0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.320
<v Speaker 1>then I never got picked. I didn't even get picked

0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:32.360
<v Speaker 1>for a day. Well, you're only gonna have thirty two

0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:35.080
<v Speaker 1>of them, right, somebody's not gonna get picked. Well, and

0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:39.440
<v Speaker 1>we don't know how superstitious Mike McCarthy is. If the Cowboys,

0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:42.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, name their three captains this week and they

0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:45.120
<v Speaker 1>win by thirty points, the same three captains are going

0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:47.480
<v Speaker 1>out the next week, aren't they so wait is it?

0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Is it one of three? Two? One of three? He

0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:52.640
<v Speaker 1>said two O two. I thought, I thought, I said three.

0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:54.720
<v Speaker 1>I thought, well, maybe he did, maybe there's a special

0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:58.400
<v Speaker 1>teams guy. But he said, you offense, defense and specialty.

0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:02.640
<v Speaker 1>He looks at it as promote leadership, like given different

0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:05.439
<v Speaker 1>guys to learn to be leaders. So you're a leader

0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:10.120
<v Speaker 1>on game day, by the way. As a public service announcement.

0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:13.080
<v Speaker 1>So we got two screens in here right in the

0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:16.520
<v Speaker 1>podcast studio, and we're on one screen and there was

0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:18.560
<v Speaker 1>a game being played on the other and I was

0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:20.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of looking at it and it was San Francisco,

0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:22.919
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, well, who are they playing? And

0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:26.840
<v Speaker 1>every play so it turned out to be a highlight

0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:33.320
<v Speaker 1>clip every play. Ninety nine was sacking the quarterback. Ninety

0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:39.800
<v Speaker 1>nine was Alden Smith, by the way, unbelievable. This must

0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:43.120
<v Speaker 1>have been his second season when he had like nineteen sacks.

0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:49.280
<v Speaker 1>They can't stop him. And right now they just rushed

0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:53.480
<v Speaker 1>the Bears with a three man line. All three guys

0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:56.840
<v Speaker 1>in San Francisco were standing up and all three guys

0:17:56.960 --> 0:17:59.800
<v Speaker 1>met in the end zone at the quarterback. By the way,

0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:06.399
<v Speaker 1>so okay, he was amazing, ye, And we're gonna find

0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:09.399
<v Speaker 1>out on Sunday night how amazing he is after a

0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:11.919
<v Speaker 1>few years off, and it's going to be interesting to

0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:14.959
<v Speaker 1>see how much playing time Alden Smith gets against the Rams.

0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:17.520

<v Speaker 1>Spagnola who continues to follow the at the Niners and

0:21:25.560 --> 0:21:28.480
<v Speaker 1>the Bears that you're watching there in the SWBC Mortgage

0:21:28.480 --> 0:21:31.280
<v Speaker 1>studio there, Mickey, it is on right now, and he

0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:34.440
<v Speaker 1>just sacked him for a seven yard loss. Who Campbell?

0:21:34.440 --> 0:21:40.000
<v Speaker 1>What was the quarterback? All Jason Campbell? Jason Campbell. Yeah,

0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:44.560
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna remember that guy. So this is I remember

0:21:44.680 --> 0:21:49.840
<v Speaker 1>Jason Campbell. Everson, you know, you played for Bill Parcels

0:21:50.240 --> 0:21:55.439
<v Speaker 1>and you know he would talk about distractable players. You know,

0:21:55.560 --> 0:21:58.240
<v Speaker 1>he talked about if he had a cornerback who who

0:21:58.320 --> 0:22:00.760
<v Speaker 1>wasn't attentive to what was going on in the build

0:22:00.800 --> 0:22:03.600
<v Speaker 1>He's looking up in the stands or whatever. Oh, Mickey

0:22:03.720 --> 0:22:09.080
<v Speaker 1>is the ultimate distractable player in Bill Parcells. Uh mind,

0:22:09.240 --> 0:22:12.040
<v Speaker 1>because he we got to turn off those TV monitors

0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:15.640
<v Speaker 1>when we're doing the show. Mickey, I'm multitasking. And by

0:22:15.680 --> 0:22:18.320
<v Speaker 1>the way, the screen is right next to the camera

0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:20.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at, so I got one eye on the

0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:24.359
<v Speaker 1>camera and one eye on the screen. All right. He

0:22:24.520 --> 0:22:26.960
<v Speaker 1>do have a little bit of research, It's right, Bill.

0:22:27.040 --> 0:22:31.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean Aldam Smith is the guy that he's looking at. So, yeah,

0:22:31.720 --> 0:22:35.360
<v Speaker 1>that's that's what he's doing. I hope that this carries

0:22:35.400 --> 0:22:39.119
<v Speaker 1>over into the game on Sunday night. That would be really,

0:22:39.160 --> 0:22:42.120
<v Speaker 1>really nice. Did you guys have one eye at least

0:22:42.160 --> 0:22:45.320
<v Speaker 1>on the Thursday night game the Kansas City Chiefs in

0:22:45.400 --> 0:22:48.240
<v Speaker 1>the Houston Texans. And if so, what did you take

0:22:48.280 --> 0:22:50.840
<v Speaker 1>out of that game that? Yeah, I did that one

0:22:50.840 --> 0:22:53.159
<v Speaker 1>eye on You're right, I had to. I had Lebron

0:22:53.280 --> 0:22:56.199
<v Speaker 1>and one eye I had my homes on the other eye, So, yeah,

0:22:56.240 --> 0:22:58.399
<v Speaker 1>you're right, I had to. I had to take a

0:22:58.440 --> 0:23:00.040
<v Speaker 1>look at my Lakers and see what was going on.

0:23:01.320 --> 0:23:03.760
<v Speaker 1>The game pretty much went the way I thought it would.

0:23:05.440 --> 0:23:09.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, my home's doing this thing, the touchdowns piling up.

0:23:10.040 --> 0:23:14.440
<v Speaker 1>I knew that they were going to struggle offensively in Houston.

0:23:15.800 --> 0:23:19.960
<v Speaker 1>As much as I loved Deshaun Watson, I think they

0:23:20.000 --> 0:23:22.359
<v Speaker 1>stripped him of all of his weapons. I really do.

0:23:22.560 --> 0:23:26.280
<v Speaker 1>When they took Hopkins away. They don't have a good

0:23:26.359 --> 0:23:29.000
<v Speaker 1>running game. You know, this is the kind of thing

0:23:29.040 --> 0:23:31.199
<v Speaker 1>that just kind of leads a disaster. And I can

0:23:31.280 --> 0:23:34.919
<v Speaker 1>see DeShawn Watson running all over the place trying to

0:23:34.960 --> 0:23:37.480
<v Speaker 1>save his own life, just like he's done the past,

0:23:37.960 --> 0:23:40.920
<v Speaker 1>really the past two years. And one of those games

0:23:40.960 --> 0:23:43.760
<v Speaker 1>was against the Cowboys. I didn't think he would finish

0:23:43.800 --> 0:23:46.760
<v Speaker 1>the game because we were just laying him out, and

0:23:46.840 --> 0:23:49.160
<v Speaker 1>he actually came back and won that game. Against Dallas,

0:23:49.200 --> 0:23:52.080
<v Speaker 1>if I'm not mistaken, but to put him through all

0:23:52.080 --> 0:23:55.720
<v Speaker 1>of that that he goes through offensive line is average.

0:23:56.520 --> 0:23:59.199
<v Speaker 1>They don't pass block well. He's going to be on

0:23:59.240 --> 0:24:03.520
<v Speaker 1>the run for his entire this entire season, and they're

0:24:03.520 --> 0:24:05.879
<v Speaker 1>gonna make him earn that money. He deserved it and

0:24:05.920 --> 0:24:08.240
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna earn it. I had an eye and a

0:24:08.280 --> 0:24:11.080
<v Speaker 1>half on Jamie Ben and a half an eye on

0:24:11.200 --> 0:24:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Deshaun Watson. Had two TV's going at once. Yea, and

0:24:17.400 --> 0:24:19.919
<v Speaker 1>the Dallas Stars came through for you with a victory.

0:24:19.920 --> 0:24:22.840
<v Speaker 1>They got a two one lead in that Western Conference finals.

0:24:25.240 --> 0:24:27.480
<v Speaker 1>You know what, at the time though that the Chiefs

0:24:27.520 --> 0:24:31.960
<v Speaker 1>selected Clyde Edwards Hilaire out of LSU, I said, what

0:24:32.240 --> 0:24:35.200
<v Speaker 1>a great draft pick. That was late in the first

0:24:35.280 --> 0:24:39.160
<v Speaker 1>round and a first game in the NFL. He showed

0:24:39.200 --> 0:24:42.800
<v Speaker 1>what a great pick he was. And uh, you know,

0:24:43.040 --> 0:24:44.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it would be a surprise to anyone.

0:24:44.880 --> 0:24:46.879
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna have a huge season for Kansas City if

0:24:46.920 --> 0:24:49.520
<v Speaker 1>he stays healthy. Yeah, not just late in the first round.

0:24:49.760 --> 0:24:52.880
<v Speaker 1>That late in the first round. They were picking right

0:24:52.960 --> 0:24:56.600
<v Speaker 1>and they get him. He was shredding the Texans defense,

0:24:56.920 --> 0:25:02.240
<v Speaker 1>just shredding him. They couldn't stop him. So I saw that,

0:25:02.240 --> 0:25:05.480
<v Speaker 1>all right, So and I saw the beginning of and

0:25:05.720 --> 0:25:11.720
<v Speaker 1>all that too. All right, So let's let's fast forward

0:25:11.760 --> 0:25:15.160
<v Speaker 1>to Sunday night. What our expectations on Sunday night when

0:25:15.160 --> 0:25:20.040
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys take on the Rams? Just off the top,

0:25:20.119 --> 0:25:22.119
<v Speaker 1>what is it? What's the big thing you're gonna be

0:25:22.160 --> 0:25:25.200
<v Speaker 1>looking for, Mickey, let's start with you. Well, I think

0:25:25.200 --> 0:25:28.400
<v Speaker 1>there'll be two big things I'll be looking for. How

0:25:28.480 --> 0:25:35.040
<v Speaker 1>well that Cowboys right tackle functions in place of Lale Collins?

0:25:35.440 --> 0:25:41.199
<v Speaker 1>And then can this team play the run effectively? We

0:25:41.720 --> 0:25:44.800
<v Speaker 1>get all fired up about their ability to rush the quarterback.

0:25:45.480 --> 0:25:49.359
<v Speaker 1>That's why we were talking about Alden Smith, Everson Griffin,

0:25:50.480 --> 0:25:53.480
<v Speaker 1>a big sack guy in Minnesota. But can they stop

0:25:53.520 --> 0:25:57.160
<v Speaker 1>the run like they did when they played the Rams

0:25:57.240 --> 0:26:00.760
<v Speaker 1>at at and T Stadium in what was a game

0:26:00.880 --> 0:26:04.399
<v Speaker 1>I think thirteen game fourteen at the end of the

0:26:04.440 --> 0:26:06.879
<v Speaker 1>season and they held them the twenty two yards rushing.

0:26:07.640 --> 0:26:10.160
<v Speaker 1>I know they've got different running backs now and they're

0:26:10.640 --> 0:26:14.119
<v Speaker 1>you know, have changed the offense a little, but they've

0:26:14.160 --> 0:26:16.200
<v Speaker 1>got to be able to stop the run to earn

0:26:16.240 --> 0:26:21.879
<v Speaker 1>the right to rush the quarterback. One thing I'm looking

0:26:21.920 --> 0:26:28.119
<v Speaker 1>forward to is not just winning, of course, but how

0:26:28.359 --> 0:26:32.439
<v Speaker 1>we win. I'd love to see the approach that the

0:26:32.480 --> 0:26:35.640
<v Speaker 1>coaches take in regards of the game plan, because, let's,

0:26:35.800 --> 0:26:38.920
<v Speaker 1>let's face it, we had so much talent last year

0:26:39.040 --> 0:26:42.960
<v Speaker 1>defensively and offensively. It was a letdown on both sides.

0:26:43.000 --> 0:26:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Even though offensively we had numbers off the chart, a

0:26:46.280 --> 0:26:49.960
<v Speaker 1>lot of those were in comeback situations and desperate, come

0:26:50.040 --> 0:26:56.760
<v Speaker 1>from behind situations. Unfortunately, I'd love to see if the

0:26:56.800 --> 0:27:00.640
<v Speaker 1>predictability is gonna still be there. Is it gonna look

0:27:00.680 --> 0:27:02.560
<v Speaker 1>the same? Of course, we have the same plays, There's

0:27:02.560 --> 0:27:04.639
<v Speaker 1>no doubt about it. We have a lot of the

0:27:04.680 --> 0:27:08.320
<v Speaker 1>same players, the same system. We've got, you know, great talent,

0:27:08.840 --> 0:27:11.879
<v Speaker 1>but how are we going to coach them? How are

0:27:11.920 --> 0:27:14.879
<v Speaker 1>we going to manage offensively? How are we going to

0:27:14.960 --> 0:27:16.840
<v Speaker 1>do in the red zone? Are we going to be

0:27:16.920 --> 0:27:20.679
<v Speaker 1>just as ineffective as we were last year? And as

0:27:20.720 --> 0:27:23.640
<v Speaker 1>you talk about defensively, will we able to be able

0:27:23.640 --> 0:27:26.879
<v Speaker 1>to stop the run? Will we be able to get

0:27:26.920 --> 0:27:29.399
<v Speaker 1>off the field. I love the stats that we had

0:27:29.560 --> 0:27:32.960
<v Speaker 1>last year. Defensively had great stats, but that didn't add

0:27:33.000 --> 0:27:36.200
<v Speaker 1>up to wins. Can we stop someone on third downs?

0:27:36.880 --> 0:27:39.360
<v Speaker 1>Can we stop the run when we need it when

0:27:39.400 --> 0:27:42.840
<v Speaker 1>we need to and so that's that's what I'm looking

0:27:42.840 --> 0:27:46.800
<v Speaker 1>forward to. Our our play calls, not just offensively, but

0:27:46.880 --> 0:27:50.840
<v Speaker 1>how aggressive are we going to be defensively? Not just

0:27:50.920 --> 0:27:53.560
<v Speaker 1>against the run, but how aggressive we're going to be

0:27:53.600 --> 0:27:57.800
<v Speaker 1>against the past in these key situations. I hope that

0:27:57.880 --> 0:28:01.399
<v Speaker 1>this coaching change, we can see the change in the

0:28:01.440 --> 0:28:04.359
<v Speaker 1>coaching because we know what we've always had the talent.

0:28:04.640 --> 0:28:07.160
<v Speaker 1>I want to see the change in the coaches. Vicky,

0:28:07.280 --> 0:28:10.679
<v Speaker 1>let me ask you. You know, the key thing that

0:28:10.800 --> 0:28:15.520
<v Speaker 1>happened I think in the preseason was Gerald McCoy going

0:28:15.560 --> 0:28:20.400
<v Speaker 1>down in the first first padded practice at that defensive

0:28:20.400 --> 0:28:24.359
<v Speaker 1>tackle position. How do you think it's going to manifest

0:28:24.400 --> 0:28:29.960
<v Speaker 1>itself on Sunday Night inside with the inside players? Obviously

0:28:30.040 --> 0:28:34.160
<v Speaker 1>Don Terry Poe is a key free agent acquisition as well,

0:28:34.720 --> 0:28:37.240
<v Speaker 1>But how do you think that the Cowboys are going

0:28:37.320 --> 0:28:41.360
<v Speaker 1>to be able to compensate for what they expected going

0:28:41.400 --> 0:28:45.239
<v Speaker 1>into this preseason? They would have a six time Pro

0:28:45.320 --> 0:28:47.840
<v Speaker 1>Bowler in Gerald McCoy in there. Now, what are they

0:28:47.840 --> 0:28:50.480
<v Speaker 1>going to do? Yeah, and I'm not straddling defense here,

0:28:50.480 --> 0:28:53.000
<v Speaker 1>but I think you're going to see a committee at

0:28:53.040 --> 0:28:57.320
<v Speaker 1>that three technique. You're gonna see Tristan Hill, You're gonna

0:28:57.360 --> 0:29:01.200
<v Speaker 1>see Tyrone Crawford, and I think at times you could

0:29:01.280 --> 0:29:06.440
<v Speaker 1>even see Everson Griffin moving inside and have a defensive

0:29:06.480 --> 0:29:10.440
<v Speaker 1>front with Alden Smith, Everson Griffin, DeMarcus Lawrence, and then

0:29:10.440 --> 0:29:12.960
<v Speaker 1>you just picked the other guy that's that's in there,

0:29:14.320 --> 0:29:18.080
<v Speaker 1>and it might be Crawford, who knows um. So I

0:29:18.120 --> 0:29:20.600
<v Speaker 1>think you're going to see a combination of guys. And

0:29:20.720 --> 0:29:23.000
<v Speaker 1>I thought you would have seen a combination of guys

0:29:23.040 --> 0:29:26.360
<v Speaker 1>even if McCoy was there, because you know, if you

0:29:26.480 --> 0:29:29.440
<v Speaker 1>watch some of his game tape from last year, he

0:29:29.560 --> 0:29:33.480
<v Speaker 1>wasn't that destructive. He wasn't the guy that went to

0:29:33.680 --> 0:29:39.600
<v Speaker 1>six consecutive Pro Bowls in Tampa Bay. So I think

0:29:39.600 --> 0:29:43.400
<v Speaker 1>that they they'll mix it up, and they've got enough versatile,

0:29:43.760 --> 0:29:48.040
<v Speaker 1>flexible players to be able to compensate for his absence.

0:29:50.200 --> 0:29:53.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, usually when you're dealing with older players, it

0:29:53.240 --> 0:29:55.680
<v Speaker 1>takes them a little while to to get rapped up.

0:29:55.840 --> 0:29:57.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, usually the second part of the season that's

0:29:57.880 --> 0:30:00.880
<v Speaker 1>when they played well. I was looking forward to McCoy

0:30:00.920 --> 0:30:04.600
<v Speaker 1>being that guy. I didn't look for much input from

0:30:04.680 --> 0:30:07.480
<v Speaker 1>him the early part of the season. I thought he

0:30:07.480 --> 0:30:09.920
<v Speaker 1>would be that guy when we needed him to come

0:30:09.920 --> 0:30:12.920
<v Speaker 1>through and make plays, kind of like Rondo does for

0:30:12.960 --> 0:30:15.840
<v Speaker 1>the Lakers. That's what I was looking forward to mccau

0:30:16.000 --> 0:30:17.680
<v Speaker 1>doing for us, a guy that was going to come

0:30:17.680 --> 0:30:21.600
<v Speaker 1>through and be just instrumental when we really needed him.

0:30:21.600 --> 0:30:24.360
<v Speaker 1>We're going down the stretch and I have to say, Bill,

0:30:25.200 --> 0:30:28.400
<v Speaker 1>the thing that is going to be glaring in this

0:30:28.480 --> 0:30:34.040
<v Speaker 1>game is how well the Cowboys do on special teams.

0:30:34.600 --> 0:30:37.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm really looking forward to that. You know, you could

0:30:37.840 --> 0:30:40.320
<v Speaker 1>have a good punner, which we do have. We've been

0:30:40.400 --> 0:30:43.840
<v Speaker 1>very consistent in our punt game for years and years

0:30:43.840 --> 0:30:46.840
<v Speaker 1>here in Dallas, but I would love to see us

0:30:46.880 --> 0:30:50.120
<v Speaker 1>have a return game. If we could have a great

0:30:50.160 --> 0:30:55.000
<v Speaker 1>punt return game. You just don't you will understand how

0:30:55.080 --> 0:30:59.040
<v Speaker 1>much of a difference that could make in the outcome

0:30:59.160 --> 0:31:01.960
<v Speaker 1>of a ball game. That's just one score you don't

0:31:01.960 --> 0:31:04.240
<v Speaker 1>have to worry about. That's a one or two, three

0:31:04.360 --> 0:31:07.480
<v Speaker 1>or four first downs that you don't have to worry

0:31:07.520 --> 0:31:12.920
<v Speaker 1>about as you start your offensive drive. So that special teams,

0:31:13.320 --> 0:31:15.240
<v Speaker 1>we made a big deal about it when we first

0:31:16.120 --> 0:31:20.320
<v Speaker 1>had the coaches come over. I'm looking forward to sing

0:31:20.320 --> 0:31:23.000
<v Speaker 1>a difference all the way around, not just in the

0:31:23.000 --> 0:31:28.240
<v Speaker 1>punk game, but in the punk return game as well, Nick,

0:31:28.280 --> 0:31:33.480
<v Speaker 1>if you think Ceedee Lamb's gonna return punks, Yes, I

0:31:33.520 --> 0:31:36.240
<v Speaker 1>don't know that it'll be all of them. They may

0:31:36.360 --> 0:31:40.120
<v Speaker 1>do it in a situation where when they've got what

0:31:40.240 --> 0:31:46.040
<v Speaker 1>you would call basically an offensive return, meaning the Rams

0:31:46.040 --> 0:31:48.600
<v Speaker 1>are kicking from deep in their own territory where they

0:31:48.640 --> 0:31:51.520
<v Speaker 1>got to make sure they'll keep guys in to block.

0:31:52.560 --> 0:31:55.040
<v Speaker 1>I could see you putting him out there standing on

0:31:55.080 --> 0:31:58.120
<v Speaker 1>the you know, thirty forty fifty yard line. If you

0:31:58.160 --> 0:32:01.960
<v Speaker 1>get that opportunity and then there's a safe kick, then

0:32:02.320 --> 0:32:05.280
<v Speaker 1>maybe you send Cedric Wilson out there and you just say, okay,

0:32:05.360 --> 0:32:09.320
<v Speaker 1>just catch it. Uh. And they've employed that before. I know.

0:32:09.440 --> 0:32:12.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if John Fossil uh looks at it

0:32:12.200 --> 0:32:16.040
<v Speaker 1>that way or not, but I do think you'll you'll

0:32:16.280 --> 0:32:19.960
<v Speaker 1>utilize his ability to run with the football. Uh. You know,

0:32:20.000 --> 0:32:24.360
<v Speaker 1>I was expecting I was gonna say, I was I

0:32:24.400 --> 0:32:28.040
<v Speaker 1>was gonna say last night, I was expecting more sloppy

0:32:28.080 --> 0:32:31.720
<v Speaker 1>special team just because they can't practice it. But I

0:32:31.760 --> 0:32:36.120
<v Speaker 1>didn't see any glaring mistakes. Um. But I was sort

0:32:36.120 --> 0:32:38.840
<v Speaker 1>of expecting that because you know, while you can do

0:32:39.040 --> 0:32:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Levin on Levin, you do special teams. You're just going

0:32:41.920 --> 0:32:45.160
<v Speaker 1>down there and kind of brother lawing everything. You're not,

0:32:45.320 --> 0:32:48.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, tackling anybody or trying to break tackles or

0:32:48.960 --> 0:32:52.280
<v Speaker 1>block somebody to the ground. And this will no preseason.

0:32:52.360 --> 0:32:54.520
<v Speaker 1>This will be their first opportunity to do all this

0:32:54.640 --> 0:32:59.240
<v Speaker 1>and live football. You know when you when you do

0:32:59.320 --> 0:33:03.520
<v Speaker 1>when you try and have a good return in that situation, spags,

0:33:03.680 --> 0:33:07.320
<v Speaker 1>you really have to be careful. A holding penalty can

0:33:07.360 --> 0:33:11.360
<v Speaker 1>be very damaging on pump returns. So as much as

0:33:11.400 --> 0:33:17.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking for some superlatives from my returns specialist, I'd

0:33:17.400 --> 0:33:21.280
<v Speaker 1>love to just at times see some mistake free ball,

0:33:21.880 --> 0:33:24.600
<v Speaker 1>because when you put yourself in a hole after a

0:33:24.680 --> 0:33:30.400
<v Speaker 1>holding call and instead of starting somewhere around the thirty

0:33:30.400 --> 0:33:33.000
<v Speaker 1>five and now of a sudden, you're deep in your

0:33:33.000 --> 0:33:36.240
<v Speaker 1>own territory at the ten, that makes a big difference

0:33:36.280 --> 0:33:38.200
<v Speaker 1>in the drive. And these are the kind of things

0:33:38.200 --> 0:33:40.160
<v Speaker 1>that you really don't want. You don't want to really

0:33:40.320 --> 0:33:44.120
<v Speaker 1>test your offense right now in this type of situation.

0:33:44.280 --> 0:33:46.800
<v Speaker 1>You want you you want to win these games by

0:33:46.880 --> 0:33:50.400
<v Speaker 1>being smart and by making the plays that are open

0:33:50.480 --> 0:33:53.320
<v Speaker 1>to you. You want to be opportunistic. You don't want

0:33:53.320 --> 0:33:54.880
<v Speaker 1>to have to get up there and being in one

0:33:54.920 --> 0:34:00.520
<v Speaker 1>of those controlled chaotic environments right now, I think cowboys

0:34:00.640 --> 0:34:03.440
<v Speaker 1>need to be as even killed as possible with and

0:34:03.560 --> 0:34:07.760
<v Speaker 1>try to play as mistake free football as they can.

0:34:08.040 --> 0:34:11.120
<v Speaker 1>And you're talking about safe catches. According to what you

0:34:11.160 --> 0:34:13.560
<v Speaker 1>guys told me about Ceedee Lamb and how he catches

0:34:13.600 --> 0:34:15.919
<v Speaker 1>that ball, I put him back there for us safe

0:34:15.920 --> 0:34:18.560
<v Speaker 1>catch as well. Wilson can stay over on the sidelines.

0:34:18.880 --> 0:34:20.439
<v Speaker 1>If I have a guy who can catch the ball

0:34:20.520 --> 0:34:23.440
<v Speaker 1>like that, he's gonna be the one back there catching

0:34:23.440 --> 0:34:25.520
<v Speaker 1>the ball. I don't care where it is on the field,

0:34:26.520 --> 0:34:28.640
<v Speaker 1>you know. And last year, you know, you make a

0:34:28.680 --> 0:34:32.120
<v Speaker 1>good point on the penalties on punt returns because it

0:34:32.160 --> 0:34:35.200
<v Speaker 1>was almost fifty fifty if there would not be a

0:34:35.280 --> 0:34:38.799
<v Speaker 1>holding call on the punt return. And I got to

0:34:38.840 --> 0:34:42.760
<v Speaker 1>the point where it was like either catch it, fair catch,

0:34:42.880 --> 0:34:46.000
<v Speaker 1>no return, or just let the ball roll till it

0:34:46.080 --> 0:34:50.560
<v Speaker 1>stops because I'm tired of seeing holding penalties or blocking

0:34:50.600 --> 0:34:55.320
<v Speaker 1>penalties on the return. And yeah, and you know, without

0:34:55.400 --> 0:34:57.760
<v Speaker 1>being able to go full speed and do this stuff

0:34:58.120 --> 0:35:01.880
<v Speaker 1>that very well could happen. So and that's serious penalty

0:35:01.920 --> 0:35:05.680
<v Speaker 1>because you negate whatever return yardage you get because you

0:35:05.719 --> 0:35:09.080
<v Speaker 1>start the ten yard loss from where you caught the ball.

0:35:09.320 --> 0:35:12.719
<v Speaker 1>So and sometimes it's a twenty thirty yard of Bill

0:35:12.800 --> 0:35:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Parcel's hidden yardage that takes place. And as Bill says,

0:35:17.880 --> 0:35:22.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, Hey, it's crunch time. When we come

0:35:22.760 --> 0:35:25.560

0:38:31.680 --> 0:38:34.719
<v Speaker 1>click this season for the Cowboys is a guy by

0:38:34.719 --> 0:38:37.719
<v Speaker 1>the name of Tank Lawrence DeMarcus Lawrence I think is

0:38:37.719 --> 0:38:40.680
<v Speaker 1>going to have a huge season, and as we kick

0:38:40.719 --> 0:38:45.160
<v Speaker 1>off this segment, DeMarcus Lawrence probably is a pretty happy man,

0:38:45.520 --> 0:38:48.640
<v Speaker 1>isn't he right about now? Well, that's a good point there, Bill,

0:38:48.719 --> 0:38:54.920
<v Speaker 1>because they just turned fifteen million dollars of his base

0:38:55.000 --> 0:39:00.239
<v Speaker 1>salary into a restructured signing bonus. So instead of Evan

0:39:00.640 --> 0:39:03.920
<v Speaker 1>to wait the entire year to get paid his sixteen

0:39:03.960 --> 0:39:08.839
<v Speaker 1>point nine million dollars base salary in seventeen installments, they

0:39:08.920 --> 0:39:14.320
<v Speaker 1>just handed him fifteen million dollars in signing bonus, reduced

0:39:14.360 --> 0:39:18.280
<v Speaker 1>his base salary to one point nine million, his cap

0:39:18.360 --> 0:39:21.880
<v Speaker 1>hit to nine point nine million, and then they spread

0:39:21.960 --> 0:39:26.239
<v Speaker 1>that signing bonus over the next five years of his contract,

0:39:26.320 --> 0:39:31.600
<v Speaker 1>so three million a year to create more money available

0:39:31.600 --> 0:39:35.680
<v Speaker 1>in the cap this year that they can use. He

0:39:35.800 --> 0:39:39.399
<v Speaker 1>created twelve million more and that if you don't use

0:39:39.400 --> 0:39:41.440
<v Speaker 1>it this year, you can put it in the pile

0:39:41.640 --> 0:39:45.759
<v Speaker 1>for twenty twenty one, when there's an expectation of the

0:39:45.800 --> 0:39:49.239
<v Speaker 1>salary cap going down because the downturn of revenue with

0:39:49.320 --> 0:39:53.520
<v Speaker 1>teams not having fans in the stands or the majority

0:39:53.560 --> 0:39:56.080
<v Speaker 1>of the teams not having any fans in the stands

0:39:56.080 --> 0:40:00.400
<v Speaker 1>because of the COVID, so they did put a ceiling

0:40:00.440 --> 0:40:04.919
<v Speaker 1>on the drop in in league revenue for the cap

0:40:04.960 --> 0:40:07.200
<v Speaker 1>at one hundred and seventy five million. So say it's

0:40:07.200 --> 0:40:10.680
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and seventy five and you roll over twenty

0:40:10.760 --> 0:40:12.680
<v Speaker 1>you get it back too close to where it was,

0:40:13.120 --> 0:40:18.719
<v Speaker 1>or is I should say this year? Okay, as far

0:40:18.760 --> 0:40:21.160
<v Speaker 1>as this game, let's start with this game and then

0:40:21.200 --> 0:40:24.959
<v Speaker 1>we'll we got five minutes left here, so I want

0:40:25.080 --> 0:40:27.040
<v Speaker 1>here's what I want. I want your pick for the

0:40:27.080 --> 0:40:30.920
<v Speaker 1>game and your picks to click in this game, and

0:40:30.960 --> 0:40:33.040
<v Speaker 1>then we're gonna do it for the season. How about that?

0:40:33.239 --> 0:40:36.319
<v Speaker 1>So okay, so it's a sort of rapid fire here. Ever,

0:40:36.400 --> 0:40:38.640
<v Speaker 1>since let's you want to start here, start us off

0:40:38.680 --> 0:40:40.680
<v Speaker 1>with who's gonna win this game? Give us a score

0:40:41.160 --> 0:40:43.760
<v Speaker 1>and maybe a key to victory and a pick to click.

0:40:44.440 --> 0:40:49.000
<v Speaker 1>You're talking the Cowboys game, of course, Cowboys righting Cowboys Browns.

0:40:49.760 --> 0:40:55.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking for play this week. Grambling is Gramblings playing

0:40:55.840 --> 0:41:00.359
<v Speaker 1>in the spring. I'm sorry, I think we're talking Cowboys there. Yeah,

0:41:01.120 --> 0:41:04.560
<v Speaker 1>so I'm looking for the game. I think the Cowboys

0:41:04.600 --> 0:41:07.760
<v Speaker 1>will control the game. Let's go with the store a score.

0:41:07.840 --> 0:41:12.960
<v Speaker 1>I would say twenty four to ten Cowboys win. And uh,

0:41:13.160 --> 0:41:14.960
<v Speaker 1>the guy that I think could stand out in this game,

0:41:15.000 --> 0:41:16.440
<v Speaker 1>I think he's gonna have a great year as well,

0:41:16.600 --> 0:41:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Michael Gallup. I think Michael Gallup is gonna really stand

0:41:20.200 --> 0:41:24.200
<v Speaker 1>out this year. He's gonna continue his improvement from over

0:41:24.280 --> 0:41:26.800
<v Speaker 1>last year. Is a great year last year. So yeah,

0:41:26.840 --> 0:41:29.480
<v Speaker 1>that's my that's it for me. You see how very

0:41:29.480 --> 0:41:31.400
<v Speaker 1>good Mickey. I'll go ahead and give him. I'll give him,

0:41:31.400 --> 0:41:34.040
<v Speaker 1>I'll give mine and will I thought you already gave

0:41:34.120 --> 0:41:36.759
<v Speaker 1>us DeMarcus. I thought you already gave us DeMarcus Lure.

0:41:36.880 --> 0:41:41.279
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, that's for the season, Okay. I got I

0:41:41.360 --> 0:41:44.000
<v Speaker 1>picked to win the game. I'm picking the Cowboys to

0:41:44.080 --> 0:41:47.000
<v Speaker 1>win a pretty high scoring game. I'll go thirty to

0:41:47.080 --> 0:41:50.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven, and I got the former Ram Greg zerline

0:41:50.640 --> 0:41:54.440
<v Speaker 1>kicking the game winning field goal as time expired. Thirty

0:41:54.480 --> 0:41:58.640
<v Speaker 1>to twenty seven, Cowboys win. You had to be dramatic,

0:41:58.719 --> 0:42:01.400
<v Speaker 1>didn't your bill? You just it's also got to have

0:42:01.400 --> 0:42:06.640
<v Speaker 1>a storyline with it. My storyline and my pick to click,

0:42:06.840 --> 0:42:11.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go with I'll go with Everson Griffin in

0:42:11.360 --> 0:42:15.480
<v Speaker 1>this game that we'll see some big time plays from

0:42:15.480 --> 0:42:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Everson Griffin matched up against thirty eight year old Andrew Whitworth. Interesting. Interesting.

0:42:21.960 --> 0:42:25.760
<v Speaker 1>So either you either you listen to my fan report

0:42:25.840 --> 0:42:30.279
<v Speaker 1>prediction at twelve twenty or twelve thirty. I did not

0:42:30.719 --> 0:42:33.640
<v Speaker 1>or worth or worth thinking alike. We have a lot

0:42:33.640 --> 0:42:40.200
<v Speaker 1>of nations, right because I predicted that Greg Zerline would

0:42:40.280 --> 0:42:43.239
<v Speaker 1>kick the winning field goal, a walk off field goal

0:42:43.320 --> 0:42:46.600
<v Speaker 1>for the Cowboys to win twenty four twenty one. And

0:42:46.719 --> 0:42:49.919
<v Speaker 1>the reason I picked twenty four twenty one twenty nine

0:42:50.000 --> 0:42:52.120
<v Speaker 1>years ago. That was the last time I think I

0:42:52.160 --> 0:42:54.680
<v Speaker 1>got one of these scores right, when the Cowboys beat

0:42:54.719 --> 0:42:58.719
<v Speaker 1>the Redskins at RFK Stadium and I had predicted a

0:42:58.840 --> 0:43:02.359
<v Speaker 1>twenty four twenty one victory, right. I don't think I've

0:43:02.360 --> 0:43:06.640
<v Speaker 1>ever hit another one since, So watch out for that.

0:43:07.000 --> 0:43:10.040
<v Speaker 1>And as the pick to click in the game, I'm

0:43:10.040 --> 0:43:18.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna go with one and unsuspected candidate Ezekiel Elliott. He's

0:43:18.080 --> 0:43:24.359
<v Speaker 1>gonna hilare him. He did that last year too, didn't he? Yes?

0:43:24.400 --> 0:43:28.080
<v Speaker 1>He did? All right, there you go, it's good. I

0:43:28.160 --> 0:43:32.680
<v Speaker 1>like that. Okay. As for the season, all right, First off,

0:43:33.200 --> 0:43:36.520
<v Speaker 1>who wins the NFC East Cowboys Cowboys? I got the

0:43:36.560 --> 0:43:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys winning the NFC East and the trend will continue,

0:43:40.360 --> 0:43:42.960
<v Speaker 1>which has gone for fifteen years, a different winner of

0:43:43.040 --> 0:43:46.520
<v Speaker 1>the NFC East every single year. All right, who are you?

0:43:46.560 --> 0:43:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Who are your Super Bowl teams? Ever since you had

0:43:49.200 --> 0:43:52.319
<v Speaker 1>you said you had a half of one when we

0:43:52.360 --> 0:43:55.400
<v Speaker 1>started this show. You got it all figured out now? Yeah,

0:43:55.680 --> 0:43:59.600
<v Speaker 1>I do believe last year's disappointments is weighing heavily on

0:43:59.640 --> 0:44:04.080
<v Speaker 1>this team's mind. The Baltimore Ravens, I think they're gonna

0:44:04.120 --> 0:44:07.919
<v Speaker 1>make it this year. I think Lamars is just gonna

0:44:07.920 --> 0:44:11.239
<v Speaker 1>improve even more. I think he's gonna be more in

0:44:11.320 --> 0:44:15.200
<v Speaker 1>tune with his wide receivers. That defense is always amazing.

0:44:15.360 --> 0:44:18.319
<v Speaker 1>Love the coach, of course, Harbor, you just can't do.

0:44:18.920 --> 0:44:21.520
<v Speaker 1>He's one of those guys that he'll do all he

0:44:21.560 --> 0:44:24.319
<v Speaker 1>can to get his team to the super Bowl, even

0:44:24.360 --> 0:44:28.480
<v Speaker 1>if it means going on fourth and five during the

0:44:28.520 --> 0:44:31.440
<v Speaker 1>first quarter of any game of every game. He's gonna

0:44:31.480 --> 0:44:36.320
<v Speaker 1>get there no matter what. So I say, Cowboys versus

0:44:36.440 --> 0:44:40.360
<v Speaker 1>Ravens in the Super Bowl and who wins Cowboys? Of course,

0:44:40.600 --> 0:44:42.839
<v Speaker 1>I'll give your score. I'll give you a score. I'll

0:44:42.880 --> 0:44:47.759
<v Speaker 1>give your score. Cowboys win twenty to sixteen in the

0:44:47.800 --> 0:44:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl. I got you. Mark it down. Chris, which

0:44:53.080 --> 0:44:55.360
<v Speaker 1>is a kind of a throwback to the first Cowboys

0:44:55.400 --> 0:44:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl ever when they lost to Baltimore sixteen to thirteen.

0:44:59.719 --> 0:45:02.400
<v Speaker 1>But this time they beat Baltimore, they get an extra

0:45:02.520 --> 0:45:05.160
<v Speaker 1>touchdown and win in twenty twenty to sixteen. All Right,

0:45:05.239 --> 0:45:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Bob Lily, Bob Lily can hold onto his helmet this

0:45:08.239 --> 0:45:10.360
<v Speaker 1>time he doesn't have to throw it down the field

0:45:11.040 --> 0:45:17.319
<v Speaker 1>or at the TV screen. Okay, Mickey, you're turned quick.

0:45:17.400 --> 0:45:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Let's go. Uh Cowboys, I said they win the East. Uh,

0:45:21.480 --> 0:45:25.160
<v Speaker 1>they make it the NFC title Game. They'll lose to

0:45:25.280 --> 0:45:28.480
<v Speaker 1>the Saints, and it'll be the Saints and the Chiefs

0:45:28.480 --> 0:45:35.839
<v Speaker 1>in the Super Bowl. And who ends Saints? All Right,

0:45:35.880 --> 0:45:38.520
<v Speaker 1>you got the Saints winning the Super Bowl. I've got

0:45:38.600 --> 0:45:41.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm a combination of both your picks. I've got the

0:45:41.840 --> 0:45:44.880
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys win in the East. The Cowboys go to the

0:45:44.920 --> 0:45:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl and they play the Dallas Texans in the

0:45:47.960 --> 0:45:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowls despite how they looked last night. All right,

0:45:55.160 --> 0:45:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Texan and uh, and so we might as well, if

0:45:58.520 --> 0:46:00.759
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna keep drinking the cool we might as well

0:46:00.880 --> 0:46:03.840
<v Speaker 1>gulp it all down with my super Bowl cap on

0:46:04.040 --> 0:46:08.040
<v Speaker 1>on CBS eleven in Dallas, the Cowboys win the Super

0:46:08.080 --> 0:46:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Bowl over Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. There

0:46:12.600 --> 0:46:16.839
<v Speaker 1>you have it. We're on the record. I can look

0:46:16.880 --> 0:46:18.759
<v Speaker 1>at this at the end of the season, all right.

0:46:19.400 --> 0:46:22.760
<v Speaker 1>Enjoy the game, everybody, and we will see you again

0:46:22.880 --> 0:46:25.880
<v Speaker 1>on Monday to wrap it all up at one thirty

0:46:25.960 --> 0:46:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Monday here on Mick Shots. This has been a production

0:46:29.520 --> 0:46:33.239
<v Speaker 1>of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
